'Boom'
A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm fell from the heavy dark clouds, and immediately heavy rain poured down within a hundred miles, and lightning and thunder continued.
The people in the small village quickly collected their clothes and returned to their houses under the eaves with their naughty children in their arms.
"The sky was clear just now, why did there suddenly start a thunderstorm?" A middle-aged woman complained while holding clothes that had not yet dried.
The middle-aged man next to him took a look at the sky and said, "It's unusually dark today. Go inside quickly."
As they spoke, the middle-aged man and woman turned around and walked into the house and closed the door.
Every household in the village has closed its doors and windows to prevent rainwater from entering the house.
At this moment, a burst of floral fragrance drifted into thousands of households along with the rain and strong wind, and then a pink light passed quickly over the small village.
'Boom' 'Boom'
Thunder and lightning followed the pink light, and the pink light flew faster and faster, disappearing over the small village in the blink of an eye.
'Rumble'
There were heavy dark clouds, bursts of thunder, and suddenly a dozen lightning bolts fell together, blocking the path of the pink light.
The pink light suddenly stopped in mid-air, and then a delicate figure appeared.
The figure was shrouded in a pink aura, and turned out to be a petite and beautiful woman wearing a three-color Qionghua palace dress and a jasper cloud flower hairpin on her head.
At the moment when the woman was sealed by more than a dozen lightning bolts, four rays of fairy light suddenly fell from all directions above her head.
When the fairy light dissipated, only four gods wearing golden armor and thunder robes were seen surrounding the woman with thunder whips.
As soon as the woman saw these four gods, she immediately bowed her head in the air and paid homage: "Hua Ling'er paid homage to the four Thunder Lords. The four Thunder Lords showed their appearance: Since the little demon has been practicing, he has eaten Xia Xia, eaten dew, and slept in forests and springs at night. He has never disturbed the mortal world." , harming all living beings, please forgive the little demon this time!"
"Witch, don't make any excuses." Before the four Thunder Lords could speak, a clear voice came from below.
Hua Ling'er looked down and saw a young man wearing a light blue robe standing in the forest below. This man has a handsome appearance, a tall and straight figure, and his hair is tied up in a hairpin. He looks very eye-catching.
Hua Ling'er's eyes flashed with peach light, and she immediately saw clearly that this man was only in the state of 'qi training'. He was just starting to practice, and she would usually just kick him away.
But in front of the four Thunder Lords, she did not dare to do this. Instead, she said softly: "What does this fellow Taoist mean?"
The young man pointed at Hua Ling'er and said, "Demon girl, you said you have never disturbed the mortal world, so what do you think about your plan to burn down the Tutu Temple in Yangxia County three days ago?"
Hua Ling'er looked startled, and then remembered that she had indeed passed by Yangxia County three days ago. At that time, she wanted to call the land from Yangxia County to ask for directions, but no matter how she called the land, it would not come out, so she said casually in anger. Sooner or later the earth temple will be burned down.
But...that was an angry statement!
"I...it was just a joke I made when I was angry." Hua Ling'er hurriedly defended.
But the young man ignored her sophistry. He cupped his fists and said, "Please four Thunder Lords to quickly subdue this monster."
Hua Ling'er was shocked and quickly wanted to beg for mercy, but unexpectedly, a divine thunder struck down and hit Hua Ling'er's left shoulder directly. In an instant, half of Hua Ling'er's entire left arm was burnt.
Hua Ling'er screamed, only to hear a Thunder Lord in front of him scold: "Flower Demon, your crime will not lead to death. If you are caught now, you only need to be suppressed for ten years, and you can escape in ten years. If you continue to resist the power of God, , must be killed with divine thunder!”
Hearing this, Hua Ling'er knew that it was hard to escape what happened today, and her heart suddenly burst out: "I, Hua Ling'er, have been practicing for more than four hundred years and have reached the realm of refining the void today. How can I endure such a great disaster?" disgrace!"
After saying that, Hua Ling'er saw a flash of pink light all over her body, and a fragrant mist suddenly rose within a hundred miles.
The four Thunder Lords shouted angrily: "How dare you flower demon! How dare you resist!" After saying that, they lowered sixteen divine thunders and struck at Hua Ling'er.
But after the sixteen divine thunders fell, they struck the air. When they looked again, they found that the flower demon had disappeared without a trace.
"No, that flower demon is hiding." A Thunder Lord said in a deep voice.
Another Lei Gong glanced around and said: "All the vegetation within the range of these fragrant mists may be the hiding place of the flower demon."
The third Lei Gong said: "We have no way to find the root, so we have to lower the fire thunder and burn all the vegetation within a hundred miles to ashes. The flower demon will appear on its own!"
But the fourth Thunder Lord said: "There is no need to spend so much time."
Then the fourth Lei Gong said to the young man below: "Tui Gong, this is the boundary of Yangxia County. You should quickly use the land book to check the hiding place of this flower demon."
Yes, this young man is the land god of Yangxia County, Fang Jian.
I saw Fang Jian take out a thick book from his arms. This is the "Land Book", which records the whereabouts of all living beings in the county, birth, old age, illness and death, disasters, misfortunes, blessings, good and evil, and morals.
However, the land book can only be used by the land god to check the information. The land god does not have any power to change the information on it.
Fang Jian opened the land book and checked, and immediately found the Flower Demon's whereabouts. He raised his head and said, "Thirteen miles southeast, under an ancient poplar tree."
As soon as Fang Jian finished speaking, four thunder lights flashed in the sky, and the four thunder masters disappeared.
Fang Jian sighed, it would be great if he could fly, but it was a pity that he, the lowest ninth-level immortal official, could not fly.
So he pinched the magic with his hand and flew towards the southeast.
When Fang Jian arrived at the Flower Demon's hiding place thirteen miles away, he found that the Flower Demon had already started fighting with the four thunder gangs.
Fang Jian stood watching from a distance, but did not dare to get close. He was only in the state of "Qi Qi" now, and in the past he was seeking death.
However, it is not easy for the Flower Demon to fight against the four Thunder Lords till now with his skills in the 'Void Refining Realm'.
You must know that these four Thunder Lords are four of the thirty-six Thunder Lords and the Twelve Thunder Lords under the Lei Department: Punishing Evil Thunder Lords, Sheling Lei Lords, Xuntian Thunder Lords, and Chadi Lei Lords. They are all fifth-grade immortal officials of the Heavenly Court. It is also the realm of 'Baodan'.
Although there are differences between immortals and gods, there is no difference in the Taoist realm of cultivation.
Gods are officials appointed by heaven, also called "immortal officials", and "immortals" refer to those immortals who pick Tao fruits and become immortals.
Of course, the immortal officials and gods in heaven can also pick Tao fruits and become immortals, but they are not so free and cannot leave their post. Moreover, they have to deal with large and small affairs and cannot practice wholeheartedly. This is a big problem. harm.
There are seven realms before becoming an immortal, namely: Lian Qi, Lian Xuan, Lian Shen, Lian Xu, Bao Dan, Yuan Ying, and Yang Shen. After becoming the Yang God, you need to pick the Tao Fruit. After picking the Tao Fruit, you will officially shed your mortal body and become an immortal.
However, even if the Immortal Officials canonized by the Heavenly Court are only in the realm of practicing Qi, they may still enjoy some treatment that only Immortals have. This is also a major benefit of entering the Heavenly Court system.
Another advantage is that there is a backend, making it easy to ask for help.
For example, this time, the flower demon took advantage of her cultivation skills to call and drink at the land god. Fang Jiancai was not used to her temper and refused to go out no matter how she called.
So the flower demon said something harsh in anger, but it never goes out of style to say that misfortune comes from the mouth. Fang Jian saw her saying harsh words and knew that these monsters were acting erratically and had no bottom line, so he directly reported it to the God of Duty Zhou. Deng.
Unexpectedly, on the third day, the Thunder Department sent four Thunder Lords down to help collect the demons, which was extremely efficient.
At this moment, a muffled thunder sounded in front of him. Fang Jian looked up and saw that the flower demon had been injured on the ground, and his whole body was scorched black.
As soon as the thunder around them subsided, Fang Jian caught up with the Divine Movement Technique and heard the Evil Thunder God saying to Hua Ling'er: "Flower Demon, you originally blasphemed the gods and should have been suppressed for ten years, but you resisted the gods twice the previous time." Power, the crime is aggravated, I will sentence you to be suppressed at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain for thirty years, you must behave yourself."
The flower demon's face turned pale, and after hearing this, he immediately said unconvinced: "Isn't the crime plus one? Then it should only be suppressed for twenty years, why thirty years!"
Punishing Evil Lei Gong's face remained unchanged and said: "The crime plus one multiplied by three, three times ten years is thirty years."
Hua Ling'er was about to cry but couldn't shed tears: "Can this still be considered?!"
The social order, Lei Gong, said: "We are in charge of the punishment laws of the Thirty-Six Heavens, strictly abide by the orders of the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Lei Sheng Puhua Tianzun, and carry out punishments on behalf of Heaven. We will calculate how we say."
The word "official" can be said in two words, no matter how you say it, the flower demon secretly sighed that he was unlucky, but there was nothing he could do about it. It would be good to save his life in this situation.
"Yes, the little demon accepts his punishment." Hua Ling'er said sadly, then looked at Fang Jian aside and asked curiously: "Who are you?"
Fang Jian smiled slightly and said, "I am the land god of Yangxia County."
"..." Hua Ling'er opened her mouth, her expression even more shocked than when the four Thunder Lords found their hiding place.
"You don't seem to believe it?" Fang Jian asked, looking at Hua Ling'er's expression.
Hua Ling'er shook her head and said: "Impossible, how can there be such a brave and handsome land god?"
Fang Jian felt happy after hearing this. He also disliked the earth god statue outside his earth temple. It was short and ugly. But that was a statue made by a mortal, and he could only accept it.
However, it is too late for you to say this now. Fang Jian said to the flower demon: "The laws of heaven are strict. Since you have committed the crime of disrespecting the gods, you must be punished according to the laws of heaven. However, there are thousands of laws in heaven, and in the end, It’s to persuade people to do good. As long as you feel repentant, you should still be punished according to the ten-year sentence.”
After finishing speaking, Fang Jian looked at the Punishing Thunder Lord, and saw the Punishing Thunder Lord with a serious face: "We strictly abide by the orders of the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Thunder Universal Transformation Heavenly Lord, and we should enforce the law impartially. The evil words offended the power of the gods, and you resisted arrest in the first place. But since the land god intercedes for mercy, and since you are repentant, let’s suppress it for ten years.”
When the flower demon heard this, he was overjoyed. He thanked him repeatedly and said, "Thank you so much, Lord Thunder, God of the Earth for showing mercy. The little demon is convinced and willing to accept the punishment."
Then, the Thunder God of Punishment waved his big hand, and a flash of lightning flashed, suppressing Hua Ling'er at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain, and affixed the Thunder Suppression Talisman on the top of the mountain.
After suppressing Hua Ling'er, I saw the Patrolling Thunder Lord holding a thunder whip and looking up to the sky and saying: "The blasphemous flower demon has surrendered and is suppressed at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain. Please accept the power of Heaven."
As soon as Xun Tian Lei Gong finished speaking, the heavy dark clouds and thunder and lightning within a hundred miles radius immediately dissipated, and the downpour suddenly stopped. The sky over a hundred miles became clear and clear again, and the four Thunder Lords were led back to heaven to resume their lives under the guidance of Lei Bu's fairy light.
