Chapter 215: Strange Symbols

The old man's name is in Guan San.

Wu Niang called him 'Uncle Guan', "...... Give us a big treasurer, and from now on, we will be responsible for birth, old age, sickness and death to the end. These two of my retinues, Long Three and Long Five, you follow them later. In addition, our merchant ships may have to dock temporarily at the dock in our village, but you can rest assured that it is not a problem how much silver you have to pay. ”

As she spoke, she looked at Ryusan and Ryuwu, who raised their hands to toast the old man. After introducing each other, Wu Niang went back to the inner room. For the rest of the matter, if these two people can't handle it properly, they will really send them back to the gang room to help.

Chun Leek waited for Wu Niang to lie down, and then asked, "Where are we going ......tomorrow?

"Ming'er will go to Yuyang Town first, then buy a few fast horses, and let's go to Fuzhou. Wu Niang frowned and listened to the raging wind outside, "I just don't know if this wind can stop." ”

As soon as I woke up, I heard the chirping of seabirds, "It's clear?"

Haishi took the hot handkerchief and handed it to Wu Niang: "It will stop in the middle of the night." But I'm afraid that the road is not easy to walk. ”

It doesn't matter if it's good or not, you have to go.

Ryuzo was quite reliable and hired an ox cart. didn't eat breakfast either, only took Uncle Guan and his two sons to wait outside, and waited for Wu Niang to come out with the two girls, and then set off to Yuyang Town together.

Along the way, Wu Niang is remembering the topography here. The road was muddy, but there were still a lot of people who were in a hurry like their group, and some of them looked like a family of old and young people going out together, carrying baskets in their hands, supporting each other and walking forward.

"Is this going to the market?" Wu Niang asked Guan San.

Guan San shook his head: "The fifth master doesn't know anything. There is a Neptune Temple in front of Yuyang Town. Yesterday it was wind and rain, and everyone was incense to the Sea King. Tell him to be an old man, and bless us who eat by the sea to be safe and sound. ”

Aquaman?

What kind of god is this?

Wu Niang hadn't heard of it, so she couldn't help but ask Guan San curiously.

Guan San laughed, "If you live by the sea, how can you not know that the sea king is an old man?"

Haishi whispered in Wu Niang's ear: "I'm afraid it's the ancestor who is talking about it." ”

King of the East Sea?

Wu Niang looked at Haishi, as if to confirm. Haishi nodded, "Eight or nine times out of ten." ”

Sure enough, I heard Guan San with a pious tone: "The old man of the Sea King is talking about the East China Sea King......"

Long San and Long Wu looked at it at once, and Wu Niang smiled: "Then we should bow down." ”

Guan San was even happier when he heard it, "It's time to worship, begging for food at sea, where can I not worship his old man." ”

Wu Niang nodded and responded, but her expression became more and more determined. The weight of the intangible assets left by this ancestor to the Jin family is so heavy that people feel that they can hardly afford it.

Outside Yuyang Town, there is a small mountain, three to five hundred meters high. The road up the mountain was wet, but because there were often people going up and down the mountain, the road was quite lively. At the foot of the mountain, there are shoulders made of bamboo, and those who are old and frail and really can't go up, so they have to hire shoulders to be carried up by someone.

Long San originally wanted to hire one for Wu Niang, but Long Wuyi stopped him. The princess will definitely go up step by step.

As a descendant, what reason is there not to be pious when he has been sheltered by Yu Ze? Although he met many people on the road, his own group walked quickly. There was no delay on the road, and when I reached the halfway point of the mountain, I basically didn't see anyone in front of me. Smoothly climbed the mountain, and Wu Niang was already sweaty.

When she arrived at the top of the mountain, looking at the Neptune Temple in front of her, Wu Niang was in a trance for a moment. The paintings carved on the walls of the Sea King Temple are all about the general appearance of various warships. She only felt familiar and unfamiliar, standing at the door, she couldn't walk in for a long time.

"Fifth master. Haishi reminded in his ear, "It's time to go in." ”

Wu Niang was in a trance, "Oh! ”

Entering from a small door, it is a photo wall. The wall is snow-white, and there is no writing or drawing, which makes people feel a little strange. Even the walls of small households are not like this. Wu Niang thought so in her heart, but she couldn't ask, she was puzzled, bypassed the wall, and there was a small courtyard in front of her. Seven or eight meters away, there is a three-room main hall, which is supposed to be a place where incense is offered. Looking back over the roof, you can see green smoke coming out of the second courtyard, and I think there are people living in the back. The temple that can be seen at this glance is indeed only two entrances in front and back, but because of the dedication of the worshippers, it looks elegant.

Guan San screamed, and a seventeen or eighteen-year-old little Taoist priest ran out of the back hall. He spoke with a thick local accent that Wu Niang didn't understand at all. Haishi relayed it in Wu Niang's ear, and she understood the general meaning. The left is just a greeting between the two, the little Taoist priest didn't expect someone to come so early, and Guan San introduced that he was a distinguished guest today.

The little Taoist priest made a gesture of invitation to Wu Niang, and Wu Niang raised her feet and entered the hall. As soon as you enter, you will be greeted by a life-size statue. The man looked to be in his thirties, dressed in gold armor and exuding majesty.

Wu Niang knelt down directly, kowtowed three times and got up, took a step forward, knelt down and kowtowed three times and then got up. From the distance of six or seven meters from the futon in front of the statue at the door, Wu Niang walked nine steps and kowtowed twenty-seven heads before reaching the front.

The little Taoist priest looked at Guan San in amazement, there are many pious people, but they have never seen such a pious one.

Guan San was also a little uncomfortable, he looked at Long San and Long Wu and the others, and saw them kneeling neatly in the position where they had just entered the door, with solemn expressions.

Wu Niang didn't have the energy to care what others thought, her attention was all on the sculpture in front of her on a pair of feet, which carved the boots vividly, and even the patterns on the boots were carved exquisitely. But how do you look at this pattern, it seems that there are other patterns hidden in the moire, and if you look at this pattern separately, it is all letters and numbers, but what does this thing mean? It looks like a password or a verification code for something.

This ancestor is really wicked.

Wu Niang memorized these things, tried her best to make her expression look natural, and then turned her face and asked the little Taoist: "How many years has this statue been here?" Letters and numbers, whether there may be mistakes or omissions in the process of replacement or refurbishment.

The little Taoist priest saluted Wu Niang, but when he spoke, Wu Niang was shocked, because he spoke in an authentic Beijing accent. It's completely different from the accent that spoke to Guan San just now. I listened to the little Taoist priest say: "Every brick and tile in this temple has never been touched since it was built." ”

Wu Niang had the answer in her heart, and she couldn't help but look at Haishi and Chun Leek. Chun Yu grew up in the house since she was a child, and she still spoke in a Beijing accent in the past, but what about Haishi? Why did she never find a communication barrier on the island for so long, and now that she thinks about it, she can't help but be secretly frightened. From top to bottom, no matter where the Jin family is, they can speak fluently in Beijing. This is a habit that has been cultivated since childhood.

And where the local accent is so strong, in this Sea King Temple, a little Taoist priest can speak a Beijing accent, and the origin of this person is almost clear. Such a remote place, there are people guarding here. So, is this really just a temple? Her gaze swept over the boots, and what did the symbols mean?

Wu Niang didn't plan to rely on the Jin family all the time, so she got up and said goodbye when she knew the information she should know, and she didn't plan to see the other Taoist priests in this temple.

She didn't know that after she left, the little Taoist priest hurried to the backyard. He reported everything he had just seen and heard to the Taoist chief. This Taoist leader really has a bit of an immortal posture, although he does not have a white beard, but the whole person is also outstanding, he sat under the tree, put away the chess pieces in the chessboard one by one, "How old did you say that young man was?"

"Fifteen, sixteen, sixteen, seven?" the little Taoist priest was a little unsure, "Anyway, it doesn't look big." ”

The Taoist leader paused, was silent for a moment before getting up and walking up the stairs. This house is not a pavilion, there is a hidden lookout hidden between the house and the tree, and standing on the lookout, you can see the whole mountain clearly from top to bottom. He was standing on the lookout at the moment, looking in the direction of the mountain road. It's very easy to lock Wu Niang. No matter how broad the walking posture is, you can see that this is a girl. He immediately realized: "It turns out that the little master is here." After speaking, he suddenly remembered that the little apprentice had just said that the young man had asked about the statue. Could it be that the little master saw something? Thinking of this, he hurried down. After a short time, a seabird of unknown species flew out of the temple, flapping its wings and flying in the direction of the sea.

Of course, Wu Niang felt watching, although it was for a short time. In addition, the three dragons and the five dragons are all practitioners, so it is easy to detect. She motioned for the two of them not to act rashly, and sure enough, the sight disappeared after a while.

This kind of strangeness is not easy for others to ask, and they came down from the mountain and walked for a quarter of an hour before they arrived at Yuyang Town.

In a small town, there are only two or three breakfast sellers. I found a clean one, and I didn't care what people were selling and sat in. Haishi looked at the boiling pot of the people, and said something in the local dialect, and the people responded, and Wu Niang knew that this was probably an order.

As a result, it was a bowl of round rice balls, and she really thought it was rice balls, "Eat this?"

Haishi smiled: "You taste, this is a fish ball." ”

Fish balls?

Wu Niang scooped one with a spoon and blew it before taking a bite, where are the fish balls? This is not the same thing as the fish balls she knows. It is wrapped in glutinous rice flour on the outside and breaded with delicious fresh fish. This is actually a kind of glutinous rice ball. It's not fish balls.

She can make a living by eating this, but Long San and Long Wu are obviously not too interested in this, "I always feel that I can't eat enough." ”

Wu Niang wiped her mouth, "Then you will open your own fire in the future and hire someone to cook." Let's separate here. I went to Fuzhou with Haishi Chunyu and them. 166 Reading Network
