The strong man nodded and said: "Yes, this is the Lei Gong Temple. It used to be very lively. But it fell into ruins in less than twenty years. The once prosperous temple is now lonely here. It is really sad."
Hear this.
I subconsciously looked around.
It is difficult to connect this ruined temple with the Thunder God Temple.
Although, new gods and old gods are constantly changing.
In times of disaster, those gods who do nothing will be whipped out.
However, Lei Gong is of great significance to Lei Gongdong.
He was the great hero who helped Leigongtong open mountains and split ridges.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be abandoned to this extent.
"Could it be that they found a new location and rebuilt a new temple?"
I asked.
The strong man shook his head and said: "No. The people in Lei Gongdong have become evil-minded and don't even worship Lei Gong anymore. They will suffer sooner or later."
"Then if they don't worship Thunder God, what kind of god will they worship? Is it their old Gu god?"
Little Okra asked curiously.
I thought to myself, if the dwarf Miao Gaoshan became the new god they worshiped, it would really make people laugh.
If the Fire King knew about it, he would probably be furious.
"The name of the new god is Snake Great Immortal. In my opinion, he is just an old snake. He may have gained some intelligence and deceived all the people in the village."
The strong man chuckled, with a look of disdain on his face.
There are many snakes near Lei Gongdong.
If there are some old snakes who have practiced spiritual practice for many years, they have developed spiritual wisdom.
Replaced the Thunder King for many years.
It is possible.
"This time, you should be more careful when you go to Lei Gong Cave. This old snake monster is not a great snake, it is an evil spirit that can seduce souls and harm the world."
"If you cut it into seven or eight pieces, I will definitely be grateful to you."
said the strong man.
I thought for a moment and asked: "Thunder God Temple was ruined less than twenty years ago. Did this Great Snake Immortal appear twenty years ago?"
The strong man frowned, thought for a while, and said, "In less than twenty years, it might be what it was sixteen or seventeen years ago."
I secretly calculated that sixteen or seventeen years ago was the time when Bai Jiahe left Lei Gongdong and headed for Chiyou Valley.
The Great Snake Appeared just at that time.
Is this a coincidence or is it intentional?
"Thank you, uncle. I will be more careful when I go to Leigongdong for business this time."
I said gratefully.
The night is getting late.
Little Okra and I covered ourselves with blankets and rested against the wall.
The black cat ran to Little Okra again, huddled in the blanket, rolled its eyes, yawned, and quickly fell asleep.
The black dog stopped next to me and looked around cautiously.
In the middle of the night.
The rain stopped.
"Don't sleep anymore, get up and leave here immediately."
Suddenly I heard the strong man's voice.
Little Okra and I woke up at the same time.
Apparently she heard the strong man's voice too.
All that was left in the campfire was the glowing coals.
Little Okra and I looked at each other.
The strong man has disappeared, and all the things he brought with him are gone.
It seemed like no one had chatted with us just now.
"Brother, we didn't encounter ghosts or evil spirits, did we?"
Little Okra asked.
I found that the aroid was still there, and there were two less rice balls with me. I rolled my eyes and said, "No, he might have to go get some medicine."
There are some rare medicinal materials in the mountains.
The growth habit is very strange and it needs to be picked at a specific time.
It is normal for herb collectors to come and go in all weathers, get up early in the morning and go out in the middle of the night.
"Why did he ask us to leave quickly?"
Little Okra asked.
"I can't figure it out either." I said puzzledly.
"This uncle, the herb collector, is a little strange."
Little Okra frowned and said.
"What's weird?"
I asked.
"He is very dissatisfied with the damage to Leigong Temple. How could he be so dissatisfied if he were an outsider? I suspect that he is from Leigongtong."
Little Okra responded.
I was shocked, it was really true.
If you are just an outsider, why should you be so dissatisfied? Just listen to the story.
"He has a unique aura on him, which is different from humans. However, unlike zombies, I didn't sense the aura of Gu insects on him."
she says.
This statement shocked me.
Before I could say anything, Little Okra continued: "Tell me, have we encountered a thunder god?"
My pupils suddenly dilated, and this idea really shocked me.
I took out the wooden sign, invited the Fire King out, and asked: "Fire King, the strong man who was with us just now looks like a medicine gatherer. Is he the Thunder God?"
The Fire King shook his head and said: "After I became the King of Gu, I left my hometown. Even so, I have never seen Thunder Lord himself. However, his reminder was right. The rain has stopped, so we should leave this ruined temple as soon as possible. Bai Tiehu can't rely on him.
Spectrum."
I said: "You are worried that Bai Tiehu did not find out any information, but instead leaked our traces."
Fire King said: "Yes."
The white iron tiger has a weak point, and if it is not kept intact, people will go around it.
Thinking of this, I packed my bags and left the Lei Gong Temple with Xiao Okra.
"What's next?"
I asked.
The Fire King said: "I will take you a shortcut, directly to the wordless monument. In this way, you don't have to go through the Lei Gongdong Village. If you can't catch Ma Ying, just destroy the wordless monument."
I nodded.
After coming out of Lei Gong Temple, Xiao Okra and I did not go far away immediately, but chose a stone to hide.
It didn't take long.
In the dim light, I saw a dozen paper figures about half a meter high, quietly approaching the ruined temple.
The paper man is very cautious and cooperative.
It means it is controlled by people.
On one of the red paper figures.
There is also a black snake gu wrapped around it.
The whole body exudes a deadly evil spirit.
I took a breath, if the herb collector hadn't reminded me.
Little Okra and I would be surrounded by these paper figures in our sleep.
"Fire King, it seems that Bai Tiethu got you right. He let someone get in. There are really paper men coming to deal with us."
I said.
"Brother, these paper figures cannot be dispatched during heavy rains. Once the rain stops, they will be dispatched. The uncle of the herb collector may be Thunder God. He gave us a timely warning."
Little Okra said with certainty.
Everything I saw in front of me made me believe Xiaoqiu Kui's judgment: "What you said makes sense, it should be Thunder God."
Lei Gong belongs to the old gods and is very upset about the ruin of his temple.
As for the new snake god, he is full of dissatisfaction and hatred.
I couldn't help but wonder what kind of existence Lei Gong was, neither human nor corpse, nor a sinister ghost.
We quietly got off the rocks and walked up the mountainside.
Gradually we moved away from the ruined temple.
The sky is slowly getting brighter.
Entering a forest, there was a smell of charcoal in the air.
It must have been lightning and thunder last night, which struck many big trees in the forest.
"what is that?"
Little Okra pointed out her hand.
Ten meters away, there was a cedar tree that had been struck by lightning. The trunk had turned completely black.
There are things hanging from the treetops seven meters above the ground.
I have good eyesight, so I immediately recognized it as a python skin.
