Fire, a fierce fire burned from the City God's Temple.
The overthrown incense burners and lotus lanterns ignited the curtains and silk fabrics. In an instant, the fire broke out and swallowed the main hall of the Chenghuang Temple.
The fire became more and more intense, and Sansi Dian was also involved in it.
It rained heavily, but the flames seemed unaffected by the rain, rising into the sky with thick smoke billowing.
The refugees stood outside the City God's Temple, and the firelight illuminated their faces, which made their thin, weather-skinned faces turn red.
The despair and gloom brought about by the wind, rain, hunger and cold in recent days were also dispelled by the red firelight. They drank and cheered, and their spirits were uplifted.
The rain was still falling, and Zeng Fan shouted: "Go quickly, don't get wet in the rain again. The one who robbed the merit box and ransacked the room is still here, Mr. Liu, and he still hasn't handed over the money!"
Liu Sheng's bamboo hat had long since fallen off. Fighting ghost soldiers with the refugees was considered a life and death together.
He laughed and said: "You don't have to give it to me. Give it to your Zengtou. Let him use it on your behalf to buy something useful. It will be regarded as an allocation from the county."
Zeng Fan laughed and said: "Master Liu is so generous! Let's go!"
The refugees retreated to the shantytown, and the flames burned behind them, lighting up half the sky.
Zeng Fan said: "Mr. Liu, you first kidnapped the county magistrate and then committed crimes. Then you demolished the City God's Temple and destroyed the Zhengshen sacrifice. What will happen in the future?"
Liu Sheng smiled and said: "I should ask you this. You led the refugees to threaten the county government and burned down the City God's Temple. Such serious crimes are punishable by death if the court pursues them."
Zeng Fan laughed loudly: "Okay, why are you so dishonest? I asked you first, but you came to probe me."
"I will not tell you."
Zeng Fan shook his head and followed the refugees.
Only Liu Sheng looked at the Chenghuang Temple with worry, his brows filled with concern.
He thought about Liang Ji in the City God's Temple. He had not seen Liang Ji before the Ghost Realm was shattered. Later, when the statue of the City God was torn down and the City God's Temple was burned down, he had not seen Liang Ji.
He deeply remembered Liang Ji's comfort, but Liang Ji never showed up, which made him worried.
He hurried towards the county government office, ready to ask Chi Xia and the Fox Fairy.
When he arrived at the county government office and entered the room, before calling Chi Xia's name, he smelled a quiet lotus fragrance coming from behind.
A pair of cold hands covered his eyes, "Guess who I am?"
This scene is like turning back time and returning to that midsummer.
Liu Sheng was reading in the shade of a tree in front of the court when a small soft hand covered his eyes from behind, "Guess who I am?"
The voice was soft but pretended to be rough, imitating the wet nurse's voice.
How did Liu Sheng respond at that time?
He remembered.
"Crazy girl, I know you even if you turn into ashes." Liu Sheng said, and could no longer suppress the emotions in his heart.
Two lines of hot tears flowed from Liu Sheng's eyes and fell from those cold hands.
At that time, the girl was so angry that she hit him on the back and said, "I'm not a crazy girl."
But now, the girl just clung to him, cold tears falling on his back, colder than wind and rain, colder than frost and snow.
Liu Sheng turned around to look at her and saw Liang Ji bursting into tears.
It seems that there are thousands of grievances and millions of complaints.
But out of a thousand words, she only said one thing: "Brother, I miss you so much."
Liu Sheng held her in his arms and said, "It's all my brother's fault for not coming to you earlier."
Liang Ji whimpered, her voice trembled, and she gradually cried until she was hoarse.
So many days and nights when I wanted to die but didn't dare to die, so many years of depression and despair, all bursting with tears and relieved with reunion.
A strong man like Liu Sheng was filled with tears for a while.
Without disturbing the reunion of the brother and sister, Chixia quietly hid in the darkness.
On the other side, the return of the refugees to the shantytown is like fresh strength and blood re-injected into this weakened body, and the entire shantytown is glowing with new vitality.
The fox girl took Zeng Fan's hand, looked at it carefully, and asked, "Has it been injured?"
Zeng Fan laughed: "How could I get hurt?"
The fox girl rolled her eyes at him, and the two of them communicated quietly in the corner, talking into each other's ears and feeling each other's breath.
Zeng Fan was a little distracted, looking straight at the fox girl, following the scars on her face to her well-defined jaw, down her jaw to her slender neck, and down her neck to her erect chest. .
The fox girl was a little worried: "If someone comes from the court in the next few days, you will have to leave with me. You must not stay for a long time... Where are you looking?"
The fox girl reached out to touch his crotch and squeezed it hard.
Zeng Fan took a breath and huddled up, and all his thoughts flew away for a while.
He muttered: The old couple is still embarrassed, but a smile appeared on his face: "What did the madam just say?"
The fox girl said: "I told you to leave with me before anyone comes from the court."
Zeng Fan said: "Madam is a female Zhuge, so everyone listens to Madam."
The fox girl snorted, stretched out her hand, and said, "Give it to me."
Zeng Fan took out a piece of bone shaped like the letter B from his arms, about an inch long, and handed it to the fox girl.
Zeng Fan said: "Thanks to Lord Fox Immortal who had foreseen it and gave me this bone to condense the power of the tiger, share the same spirit with the refugees, and enlighten the tiger's military spirit, otherwise the good or bad luck of this trip would be unpredictable."
The fox girl took the majestic bone, carefully wrapped it in cloth, and placed it in a wooden box. She said: "The majestic bone of the tiger, if it has a personality, can condense the power of the tiger. If it does not have a personality, the fox will be hated by others. Mr. Hui is counting on you being able to gather refugees, so he gives you this gift to gather prestige."
"But this thing can actually inspire military energy. It's a rare treasure." The fox girl sighed: "Ah Fan, we have met a noble person."
Zeng Fan was very proud and said: "That night, Lord Fox Fairy asked us whether we wanted to accompany him to the theater or go on stage to sing. I chose to go on stage and sing. This was a foresight."
The fox girl laughed and said, "You can do it. When things are over here, you can follow me to Fox Slope to take refuge."
Zeng Fan looked at the sky and said, "I hope God will show mercy and stop the rain soon."
The rain didn't stop, but the fire in the City God's Temple gradually extinguished.
The Yin ghosts and statues of the three divisions were all destroyed. As the realm of the gods was shattered, they were drawn into the Yin Division.
On the roof just a few steps away from the City God's Temple, the fox fairy in red holding an umbrella looked at the ruins that had been reduced to ashes, and raised the corners of his mouth with an indifferent and contemptuous arc.
Bai Qiu, the ghost in white, and Huang Changxia, the ghost in yellow, stood behind Gong Mengbi, looking at the fire-filled City God's Temple and the pungent smoke, and praised: "The Lord's plan is unparalleled, and the evil god has been crowned as expected."
"Evil has its consequences, not only mortals are subject to it, but ghosts and gods are also among them." Gong Mengbi sighed and said: "Killing this animal can solve the problem of Wu Ning County, but how can we solve the problem of the whole world? "
Huang Changxia said: "The world's difficulties must be solved by people from all over the world."
Gong Mengbi smiled happily: "You can say this because your Taoist heart has been enlightened and your divinity has sprouted."
Huang Changxia lowered his head slightly and did not respond.
Gong Mengbi said: "Let's go, I still have to get my things back."
The three of them disappeared on the roof, their umbrellas blocking the mist and the sight of living people.
Chi Xia walked into the county government office grandly, and Chi Xia had been waiting at the door for a long time.
Gong Mengbi asked: "When they meet as brothers and sisters, have they finished talking?"
Chi Xia smiled and said: "I cried a lot, but now I have rested."
Gong Mengbi knocked on the door, and the figures in the room suddenly became alert.
Liu Sheng carefully opened the door to take a look, only to see an umbrella hit his eyes. The fox fairy in red asked with a smile: "Reunion after a long separation, how was the past and present?"
Liu Sheng was overjoyed and quickly invited Gong Mengbi to come in and thanked him: "Thanks to the Fox Fairy for your guidance, I was able to get rid of this evil god and rescue Liang Ji."
Liang Ji bowed and prostrated: "Fox Fairy, the ghost girl has been trapped in confinement for more than ten years. Thank you Fox Fairy for rescuing me. I really can't repay you..."
Gong Mengbi quickly helped her up and said, "What Liangji said really upset me. If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to let this beast set itself on fire."
Gong Mengbi bowed and said, "If you want to thank me, think of it as me thanking Miss Liangji."
Liang Ji didn't dare to accept it, so she quickly supported him and said, "Just think of us as perfecting each other, don't hurt me."
Gong Mengbi laughed and saw that Liu Sheng seemed confused and said, "It seems that you haven't had time to explain, but you are such a smart girl and a hero among women."
Gong Mengbi took the lead and expressed his admiration and praise for Liang Ji.
This made Liang Ji feel happy but also sad.
Gong Mengbi's eyes moved slightly and said: "The days are still long, you can chat slowly. But I am here now to get my things back."
Liu Sheng quickly took out a small jade box from his body, handed it to Gong Mengbi respectfully, and said, "Thanks to the Fox Fairy for lending me this treasure, I can avenge my great revenge."
Gong Mengbi opened the jade box and took a look. Seeing that the reply from the Jade Fairy and Goddess was still in the jade box, he smiled and put the jade box into his sleeve.
While the refugees and the ghost soldiers were fighting, Gong Mengbi had been watching.
The military spirit gathered by the refugees was the result of him sending the mighty tiger bone to Zeng Fan and giving Zeng Fan a phone call.
But the sword that killed the city god relied on the reply and the jade seal from the Jade Fairy Goddess.
Otherwise, with the status of a city god and being in the divine realm, how could he be overwhelmed by a sick tiger, and how could he be killed by a mortal with a single sword.
That last astonishing sword light was secretly manipulated by Gong Mengbi, who put the divine blessing of the goddess's reply into Liu Sheng's sword.
The city god didn't even notice the danger, and he didn't even try to block it. Liu Sheng slashed his body with a knife, tearing apart the divine realm.
Gong Mengbi praised: "Liu Xianwei is highly skilled in martial arts, has the world in mind, and is full of loyalty. Without you, how could he kill the evil god so easily."
The fox fairy praised him, and Liu Sheng was a little flattered.
He is not a fool, he understands that he is just a part of the overall situation, and the fox fairy has arranged countless links to bring about the current situation.
The fox fairy praised him, which made Liu Shengsheng willing to die for his confidant.
Liu Sheng sighed: "I never quite understand why the City God would do such an outrageous thing."
Gong Mengbi thought for a while and said: "It's okay to tell you. Your official career has been exhausted, and you can barely be considered a member of my Taoist order. The city god kills people just to recruit soldiers and buy horses with the intention of establishing a ghost army. His plan is very big."
"There is a bigger black hand behind him that controls the situation. This matter is far from over."
The lights flickered, casting changing shadows on Liu Sheng's face. He was silent for a moment, and then said: "Since this matter is not over yet, it is not time to rest. Fox Fairy, if necessary, will go through fire and water whenever necessary. Don’t give up!”
Gong Mengbi couldn't help but be moved. He glanced at Liu Sheng and suddenly laughed: "You are a true hero in the world, you are more ambitious than a fox like me."
Gong Mengbi collected his thoughts and said: "You are willing to go through fire and water, but I am not willing to let the person who collects salary for everyone freeze to death in the snow, so I have a few words to tell you."
Liu Sheng said solemnly: "I am all ears."
Gong Mengbi said: "Your official career is now over. If someone from the imperial court comes, you will have to be held accountable, so you need to prepare early and don't put yourself at a disadvantage."
"You are skilled in martial arts. Although you don't have Taoism, you have a deep connection with the immortal world and you are also a member of my generation. If you are willing, I can ask someone to introduce you to Da Lei Mountain to practice at Qingxu Temple."
Liu Sheng touched the official uniform on the table and said: "I didn't get much fame as an official, but now I have broken the rules and done good things. I can finally understand the officialdom of this big government, even the gods and ghosts It’s all rotten.”
"Although you can't cure living beings if you are not an official, you can cure ghosts and gods. I'm sorry for bothering you, Fox Fairy!"
Gong Mengbi smiled and nodded, then looked at Liangji and said, "And Miss Liangji, after Cheng Huangmian escapes, do you plan to go to the underworld, or do you want to stay in the human world?"
Liu Sheng also looked at Liang Ji, hoping to see her thoughts.
If you go to the underworld, you won't have to suffer in the human world and you can rest in peace. But if you stay in the world, despite suffering, there are more scenery to see.
Liang Ji glanced at Gong Mengbi, then at Liu Sheng, and said, "I haven't decided yet."
Gong Mengbi took a deep look at her and said: "But there is no rush. However, you can continue to practice the Lengxiang Pill method. Although this method has no benefit from the Dao, it can ensure that you The ghost body is pure and unaffected by foreign energy, so it will be very useful whether it goes to the underworld or stays in the human world forever."
Liang Ji laughed and said, "If you don't practice the cold fragrance pill method, can you still communicate with the fox fairy?"
Gong Mengbi lowered his eyes and said, "You are my friend. How can I refuse a friend's invitation?"
Liang Ji had a smile on her lips, but she felt disappointed in her heart, but with a hint of relief, she smiled and said: "When my brother and I leave Wuning County, if we encounter something dangerous, I'm afraid I will have to ask you for help."
Gong Mengbi laughed: "There are so many dangerous things, but if you are really in danger, thousands of miles away, I will come to save you."
Liang Ji laughed.
Gong Mengbi said: "You brothers and sisters are reunited. I think you still have a lot to say, so I won't disturb you and take my leave."
Liu Sheng and Liang Ji sent Gong Mengbi to the door, watched him hold up an umbrella, and then disappeared into the mist.
Liu Sheng glanced at Liang Ji and sighed in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face: "Tell me quickly, how come my girl is extremely smart and a hero among women!"
Liang Ji suddenly blushed with embarrassment and said, "Stop talking!"
The brothers and sisters' voices disappeared in the rain.
Gong Mengbi stepped on the water to Wuhuan Peak. Granny Shi had five foxes lying at her feet, sleeping soundly.
Granny Shi watched the rain outside Izumo Cave turn into clouds of smoke, and listened to the rain beating on the rocks. She felt extremely quiet.
Gong Mengbi broke through the rain curtain and walked in. Granny Shi pointed at the five sleeping foxes with her left hand, and put her right finger up in front of her lips, making a "shush" motion.
Gong Mengbi bent his eyes, sat next to Granny Shi, and looked at the water-colored cloud peak.
Thousands of thunders fell, and rain came on thousands of peaks.
The sound and scenery seem to be magnificent, but in front of the small door of Izumo Cave, they are just a quiet splash-ink landscape.
