The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 492 Are you offering sacrifices to evil spirits out of helplessness? Then I will do a good deed and help you!

The small oil lamp was not in a hurry.

The thing that rushed out from the shrine was wrapped in black smoke and whirlwinds, and it was hard to tell what it was, but the nature of its energy was very clear:
This is an evil thing that tends to be related to darkness, death, and ghosts.

However, as long as it is an evil thing, it will not be afraid of thunder and lightning!

Heavenly thunder is the nemesis of evil things, and thunder of disaster is the nemesis of nemesis. As long as you exert a little effort, you can wipe them out!

The small oil lamp flickered for a moment, and then set up defense facilities around Shen Le. Although the stupid boss had made some progress now, he was still clumsy.

He can't run fast, and he can't jump high. Although he can fly, his flying level is so low that even the Cloud Climber would laugh when he saw him.

How can you go out and fight monsters without protecting a stupid boss like this?
One layer of electric grid, two layers of electric grid, three layers of electric grid. In a foreign land, Xiao Youdeng was very careful and laid three layers of electric grid:

There are three layers of spherical electric nets, the innermost layer is close to the body, and the outermost layer is three meters away from Shen Le. The head, the surroundings, and even the feet are all tightly wrapped, so there is no fear of enemies rushing out from anywhere:
Oh, by the way, there is also the one who accompanies the boss and serves as his driver and translator. He is also one of us, so we will also weave a layer for him.

Then, start fighting!
The process of weaving the electric grid also gave Shen Le time to react.

He unloaded his backpack and pulled out his wand from his side pocket—he bought it at Universal Studios a few days ago, I forgot whether it belonged to Dumbledore or Snape—and waved it in a flower shape, pointing forward:
"Thunder God and Lightning Mother, quickly send down your magical powers! The Supreme Lord Laozi, hurry up and obey the command!"

Well done!

Xiao Youdeng gave Shen Le a thumbs up in his heart. His pretentiousness has improved!

The boss pretends that he knows thunder magic to cover up my manipulation of electricity, which makes my work very convenient!
Since the boss was so helpful, the little oil lamp certainly wouldn't lag behind. It flashed a beam of lightning, starting from the tip of the magic wand and shooting straight at the evil creature opposite.

There was only a wailing sound, and the surrounding trees rustled and the roof tiles cracked and broke.
The evil thing shrank inwards, expanded outwards, shrank inwards again, and expanded outwards again, back and forth several times. The electric current inside kept expanding, gradually changing from bright silver to blood red:

"Don't! Don't!"

Seven or eight priests rushed out of the shrine. Some were wearing western clothes, some were wearing an ancient hunting robe, black hat and wooden clogs, and some were wearing combat clothes similar to those of samurai.

They nervously formed a circle, some rang bells, some scattered small pieces of paper, some chanted spells, and some raised their swords and nervously pointed them at the monster.

The person who had come out to stop Shen Le before, not sure whether he was a priest or a shrine staff, glared at Shen Le with his nose crooked with anger!
"You! You! What do you mean by starting a fight just because you disagree with something?"

The guy from the Special Affairs Bureau translated quickly and nervously. While translating, he stared at the wand in Shen Le's hand with a distorted expression:

At least you can get a peach wood sword!
Even if the processed peach wood sword is considered a magic weapon, additional procedures are required to carry it out of the country. You can at least buy an ordinary wooden sword!

What does it mean when you grab a magic wand and cast a spell? Can you please act more convincingly and show a little respect to your opponent?

Simply, simply...

Shen Le was not embarrassed at all. He spread his hands innocently and pointed at the monster who was rushing around in the circle of priests and roaring continuously:

"It hit me first."

While answering, he waved his wand, pointed, and chanted a spell. The middle-aged man standing in front of Shen Le heard the translation, his face flushed, and his blood pressure rose:

"That's the god we worship! Even if it gets out of control and rushes towards you, we still have the priests!"

"The priest is too slow. You're going to pay for it if he pounces on my face?!" Shen Le continued to wave his wand, pretending to cast a spell.

Poke left a few times, poke right a few times, draw a circle, then a five-pointed star, then the Big Dipper, and then point forward:
"The brilliant thunder of the sky, guided by the sword——"

Crack!

An exceptionally thick bolt of lightning struck from the sky. The roof of the house where the evil spirit had rushed out, layers upon layers of pure black tiles that looked like a layer of snow, all shattered with a series of crackling sounds.

The ground was filled with smoke and dust, and the evil demons were wailing, rolling, and crashing around. The red ropes that the priests had pulled up were hit seven or eight times by it and broke instantly.

And that evil demon, with a huge howl, suddenly had dozens of puffs of black smoke burst out of his body, rushing out in all directions -

"Oh no! It's completely out of control!"

The man who stopped Shen Le screamed and ran out. As for those guys who surrounded the evil spirit, the priests were better off, but the warriors fell to the ground immediately after being hit by the black smoke.

He rolled over seven or eight times on the ground, his eyes bulging, his limbs twisted into all kinds of strange shapes. It took him a while to get up, his eyes bloodshot, and he rushed towards Shen Le with a knife in his hand:

huh?

Possessed by evil spirits?

Shen Le's face became a little serious. He had no psychological burden in fighting evil spirits, but he still felt a little bit of pressure in fighting ordinary humans.

If he strikes with lightning, these guys will be electrocuted to death... I always feel that their crimes do not deserve death...

Shen Le looked left and right, then quickly stepped forward and grabbed the hand of the young man from the Special Affairs Bureau. A breeze surrounded him, and he flew up lightly and stood on the top of a big tree:
You climb trees!
If you have the ability, climb a tree!

I just don't believe that you guys who are possessed by evil spirits have enough IQ to command the action!

What's more, even if you climb to the top of the tree, I can fly away anytime and anywhere, fly to another tree, fly to another roof, fly to a telephone pole, or even fly in mid-air!
He looked down from above, protecting himself first, then thinking about how to defeat the evil demon - mainly, not letting it cause too much damage so that he could search for what he wanted.

He stood on the treetop, and sure enough, those guys possessed by evil spirits rushed towards him, howling. The young man from the Special Affairs Bureau heard them howling a few times, and his face became serious:

“These evil ghosts seemed to be living people in the past?”

"What?"

"I heard them say..."

The young man gnashed his teeth, not wanting to translate "Chinese" or "inferior race" to his target. He just cautiously gave the conclusion:
"It seems that they came to China to burn, kill and loot..."

Oh?
Shen Le raised his eyebrows and his expression instantly turned cold.

He was merciful yesterday and didn't even kill a single spider spirit. The main reason was that he felt there was no need to work for the Japanese government, and he didn't want to teach their monster a lesson for them.

After all, is it your monster that is wreaking havoc in your home or is it your government that is indulging it? As long as it doesn't harm our citizens, what does it have to do with me?
But, have these evil demons - monsters - ghosts - whatever they are, ever done bad things on our land?
There is no doubt about that. If I don’t beat you to death, I would not be worthy of being a Chinese!

"Qingdeng!" He called silently in his heart:
"Increase the force! Kill them! Don't let any of the separated demons go!!!"

【Know! 】

Qing Deng responded loudly. While he was playing, he stretched out one ear to listen to Shen Le's conversation. Shen Le got angry when he heard the words of the young man from the Special Affairs Bureau, and he also got angry:
【Look at me! 】

Crack!

Crack!

Crackling!

Lightning fell like rain. First, a large circle was drawn outside the evil demon, like a forest of spears, encircling it tightly in the middle;

Then he killed one by one, landing on the heads of the warriors who were waving their swords, with bloodshot eyes, rushing towards Shen Le.

Every time there was a flash of lightning, a person would fall down, with black smoke rising from his body. The little oil lamp was really ruthless, completely disregarding the 36-volt safety voltage and 220-volt household voltage:
When a flash of lightning goes down, large patches of tree-like patterns will appear on the back of the person's hands, neck, and even face, all exposed parts. They will turn red and black, and are very scary...

“Stop! Stop!!!”

A loud shout came from far away. Along with the shout, there was a rumbling sound approaching quickly, like the sound of a will-o'-the-wisp boy bombing the street that Shen Le had occasionally heard before;
The rumbling sound came from far away and made a shrill and strange sound.

Shen Le looked in the direction of the sound and saw a huge motorcycle almost swung in from the entrance of the shrine. The rider jumped high and fell heavily:
"Mr. Shen! Please stop!!!"

Oh, Priest Yoshida, you are everywhere. Shen Le spread his hands innocently, indicating that "I don't want to fight", and slowly flew down from the treetop.

Yoshida the priest ran so fast that his eboshi was crooked, his hunting robe was scattered, and one of his wooden clogs flew off, leaving only the clog on his left foot.

It's hard to believe how he managed to ride a motorcycle here wearing wooden clogs. If he were stopped by the traffic police, all 12 points would be deducted, his vehicle would be confiscated, he would be fined, and his driver's license would be revoked!

"Mr. Shen! This is the god enshrined in the shrine!"

Priest Yoshida didn't even have time to tidy up his appearance. He straightened his eboshi and ran towards Shen Le with one foot high and one foot low:

"I know it's out of control, and I almost offended you just now - but the priest is already dealing with it! Please stop, I will ask them to apologize to you later!"

He spoke fluent Chinese... which saved the Special Affairs Bureau guy the trouble of translating. The guy took some time to look around, looking at the other person's feet:
"You said he ran over here like this... Is his foot okay? Aren't you afraid it might get pricked?"

Although the shrine was usually kept very clean, it could be said that it was spotless, and there was no need to worry about stones, glass slag, nails and the like, but the evil demon had just made a scene! Shen Le sent down several thunders in succession, branches and leaves fell in disorder, broken tiles flew everywhere. Stone lanterns fell to the ground, the white shimenawa ropes were torn into pieces, and half of the shrine was blown into a mess!
On the ground where the priest was running, he had already seen a pile of tree branches, several pieces of broken glass, and countless bricks and stones!

Shen Le concentrated and sensed it. The priest's feet were covered with a faint layer of white light. He stepped on the bricks, tiles and glass as if walking on flat ground, without hurting his feet at all:
Well, this guy does have some real skills!

He was able to control the spider spirit, and it wasn't just his mouth...

He pointed it out to the guy from the Special Affairs Bureau in a low voice. The two of them whispered to each other for a while before Priest Yoshida ran up to Shen Le and bowed deeply:
"Mr. Shen! I'm so sorry! Could you please stop?"

Wow, this bow is deep enough, almost ninety degrees. It really is the craftsman spirit of daily life.

So, do you really have to hurt them to get good treatment? Yesterday, I only beat a spider spirit, and the bow of Priest Yoshida was definitely not more than 30 degrees!
"Qingdeng, stop for a moment - but control it, don't let it run out." Shen Le whispered in his heart. Then, he glanced at Priest Yoshida and smiled:

"Why do you still worship this evil ghost? It loses control and hurts people at any time. I will do a good deed and help you to save your soul!"

As he spoke, he slowly walked towards the damaged house. The priests were staggering and panting. When they saw Priest Yoshida coming, they looked at him as if he were their savior:
"Your Excellency the Priest! You are here!"

"Priest, please save us!"

"Priest, this guest barged in for no apparent reason, startled the shikigami, and almost killed the shikigami - please take care of him!"

The guy from the Special Affairs Bureau stayed beside Shen Le, and kept translating their words for him. Shen Le smiled, twirling his magic wand in his hand, and did not refute, but glanced at Priest Yoshida:

Am I the one who is confused, or are they the ones who are confused?
I'm not allowed to kill this evil ghost that attacks people?
Priest Yoshida also smiled bitterly. He stretched out his hands, pressed down hard a few times, appeased the staff of the local priests, and sent them away to guard against the out-of-control shikigami.

Then he returned to Shen Le and whispered:

"Mr. Shen, it is wrong for them to offend you, and they did not think highly of these Shikigami. But please understand that it is their duty to worship Shikigami.

They have worked very hard, please give them another chance because of their great efforts in controlling the shikigami?"

"Oh? What kind of shikigami is it that makes them so miserable?"

Shen Le asked casually, and walked in. He didn't seem to take big steps, but he circled left and right, and before he knew it, he had left Priest Yoshida behind and entered the inner hall.

When Priest Yoshida shouted "Wait a minute" and ran over with one foot high and one foot low, he saw Shen Le standing in front of the tilted altar, his face dark:

"You told me it was a shikigami, but it turned out to be these things?!"

On the altar, rows and rows of wooden tablets were densely packed. On each tablet, there was written the name, native place, date of birth and death, as well as military rank, military service, etc.

Thanks to the extensive use of Chinese characters in Japan, Shen Le can read every word above without any translation.

Regardless of their birth years, those soldiers all died in the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s!
"I've heard that most of the shrines in Japan are good, and they enshrine local gods, such as Sukanno-no-Mikoto, Tsukiya-no-Mikoto, Amaterasu Omikami, and the like.

Unexpectedly, this shrine is dedicated to them - you mean, I shouldn't kill these things?"

Shen Le's voice turned completely cold. With a thump, Priest Yoshida knelt down, put his hands on the ground, leaned forward, and pressed his forehead tightly against the ground:
"Mr. Shen! Please listen to my explanation!"

Wow, from the spirit of a craftsman to a humble man, you have evolved very quickly. Shen Le handed the magic wand to his left hand, and spread his right hand upwards. A fireball slowly condensed in his palm, from small to large:

"Go ahead. I want to hear what you have to say!"

"Mr. Shen! I know that your country is very prejudiced against our shrine. You think that we are worshipping some convicted criminals who refuse to admit their crimes."

Priest Yoshida quickly got up and looked at Shen Le, his voice serious and earnest:

"But that's all misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding! The temples in your country all worship the gods of fortune, so your country can't quite understand our worship system - we have our own difficulties!"

"Oh?"

"The god of fortune worshipped in your country is called 'Wakanta' by us. He is a god who brings peace, good fortune and happiness."

Under the heat of the fireball, Priest Yoshida's speech speed increased by 50%. It was rare that he could still speak clearly:

"Shrines enshrine these gods, and people worship them, praying for their protection and well-being. But! There is also a kind of 'wild souls', which are the dead who died in wars, plagues, and disasters——"

He quickly turned around, stretched out his arms, and drew a big circle around the tablets on the altar:
"These are all wild souls! They are wild souls! We have no choice but to worship them! They are souls that died with resentment and pain, and they also have great magical powers, which will cause great damage to the human world!
If we don't offer them sacrifices, worship them, or calm their spirits, they will start to make trouble and no one will be able to bear it!"

"Oh." Shen Le nodded slowly. He turned to look at the tablets, at the blood-stained souls, at the evil spirits who had owed countless blood debts and had not yet paid them off:
"You mean, these are all wild souls?"

"Yes!"

"You can't handle it? You can only offer them sacrifices to stop them from causing trouble and causing damage?"

"Yeah! We have no other options..."

"Okay then." Shen Le shrugged. Priest Yoshida was slightly delighted and was about to thank him when he heard Shen Le calmly say:

"In that case, I will just be a good person to the end. Who told you that you don't have the ability to cut down mountains and destroy temples, and you can't conquer the three-day evil ghost..."

Before he finished speaking, the fireball in his palm suddenly shone brighter, changing from red to yellow, from yellow to white, from white to black, and from black to blue.

The five elements and five colors of flames rotated quickly and turned into a red fireball the size of an orange, which was gently dancing in Shen Le's palm, not surprising at all.

Shen Le raised his hand slightly, and the fireball whizzed out and went straight into the center of the black smoke ball formed by the evil spirit:
"Qingdeng! Wash the floor!"

【Here we come!!!】

The flames swelled rapidly, swallowing up the black smoke, while silver lightning moved like dragons and snakes, engulfing every part of the shrine.

Every tablet, every jar, every part tied with a string, has a gloomy aura.

The small oil lamp sucked up electricity as much as it could, sweeping away all the electricity from the substation in the entire nearby block, and cleaning every corner of the shrine.

There was a crackling sound, and large numbers of ceramic jars broke apart, and large numbers of tablets fell down and smoked...

"Mr. Shen! You!!!"

Priest Yoshida was shocked and angry. When they were talking yesterday, Shen Le was still smiling and easy to talk to, and was willing to give in. Why, why -

Are all Chinese people like this?

"I'm helping you." Shen Le smiled softly and sincerely. As he smiled, he gathered his fire power, and twelve fireballs rose up around him, whirring around him:
"According to Chinese custom, gods who do not seek welfare for the people are not worthy of being canonized and will be thrown out of the temple.

Evil ghosts that cause trouble and harm the people dare to demand sacrifices. Even if there is a temple, it is an obscene sacrifice and the mountain must be cut down and the temple destroyed—"

He put away his wand, held the copper seal in his hand, and walked forward step by step. Following the resonance of the copper seal and the direction it pointed him, he walked deeper into the shrine:

“As I recall, didn’t Japan learn a lot of its culture, including Chinese characters, clothing, architecture, etc., from China?
You don't have enough strength to learn how to cut down mountains and destroy temples, and I don't blame you. Since I'm here, I can always help you. Don't thank me too much."

The young man from the Special Affairs Bureau followed closely, following Shen Le, trying to keep his mouth flat. "You can't laugh, you can't laugh. We have been strictly trained and we normally don't laugh..."

Why is Shen Le like this!
Use the most serious and sincere attitude to say the most infuriating words!
I beat you up and killed the evil ghost you raised, and you still want to thank me?
Well, it’s hard to say for others, but for the country under our feet now, maybe it’s really like this…

Just look at the wild father he recognized now, didn't he beat him up so hard that he became submissive? How refreshing and prostrating he was when he called him father!

That famous barbecue master was awarded the highest level hero medal by his country! Is it possible for a normal person to do such a thing?

He kept a stern face, kept two steps away from Shen Le, and controlled himself not to speak.

Shen Le walked slowly while controlling the power of fire, trying not to let the shrine burn completely so as not to burn down what he wanted.

At the same time, he smiled gently and comforted Priest Yoshida:
"Don't worry, I didn't do it for no reason. I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. If you're worried about me being offended, why don't you make a list of things that might offend me?"

For example, the infamous shrine, shrine, shrine...

If I feel bad one day, I will be teleported over there to help the wild souls inside to be liberated?

Anyway, you said it yourself, that it is an evil ghost and you have to worship it because you have no other choice - I am relieving your burden for your own good, isn't it?
Shen Le thought confidently. After turning three circles, he finally stopped and walked straight to a corner of a side hall.

Pushing open the door, there was a huge warehouse, with all kinds of messy things covered in dust. Behind him, a priest from the local shrine whispered:
"You can't go in... These are all offerings from the local people, they are their token of love..."

Priest Yoshida followed behind, typing away on his phone without daring to say a word:
He obviously couldn't beat the guy in front of him, so why was he still yelling?
Call someone, call someone of higher rank to come and handle it!
