Look at this delicate and solemn shrine tablet, as well as the dazzling array of offerings placed below, and several believers kneeling on the futon and prostrating to the head of incense.

Burning incense and offering sacrifices to the gods has been around since ancient times, but when I saw my tablet with my own eyes, I still felt a little strange in my heart.

The gods enjoyed the incense, but Lu Zheng did not feel the power of the incense, the spontaneous operation of the dragon scales, sensing a trickle, consistent with the wish in the dragon palace living water whirlpool, is a pure power of faith, from the depths of the people's hearts to the dragon king gratitude and love, not mixed with any distractions.

And the reason why Lu Zheng can feel this power is completely due to the living water whirlpool.

The power of the mind that only the most devout believers can produce is very weak and rare.

The source of incense is not burning incense, but the spiritual power of the people. It is not something that can be produced by simply pulling a person into the incense burner and offering a few incense candles.

Otherwise, if the power of incense is so easy to accumulate, those remaining demons and monsters can completely rely on pretending to be gods and ghosts to collect a large amount of incense power to survive.

The name of incense, the truth of the soul.

Today is the birthday of the Dragon King, and the people of Shuangqiao Town are the most devout believers, so when Lu Zheng walks here, he can vaguely feel the power that has gathered over him.

The dragon scales moved slowly, and Lu Zheng's heart began to become extremely peaceful. He had a vague hunch that if all these powers were absorbed by the dragon scales, something strange might happen.

After becoming a three-clawed true dragon, Lu Zheng's speed of refining water veins increased significantly, but the speed of dragon scales splitting was just the opposite, getting slower and slower.

After swimming in the sea for three days, the refining water area was close to half of the Qingjiang River, but the dragon scales never showed signs of splitting.

The speed slowed down in Lu Zheng's expectations, the road to the dragon was like mountaineering, the mountain road at the beginning was relatively flat, and no one stopped it, and the speed was extremely fast. But the higher you climb. The steeper the mountain trail, the greater the effort and cost with each step of the climb.

Now is the early stage of the three-clawed true dragon, and after splitting the nine dragon scales again, the four-clawed true dragon can be leaped to the four-clawed true dragon. Comprehend new supernatural powers. However, judging from the current progress, even if Lu Zheng refines the entire main stream of the Yangtze River and all its tributaries, he may not be able to gather the nine dragon scales.

If all the waters of Huaxia were under his control, he might be able to get them together.

Today the dragon scales work spontaneously, that subtle feeling. It was similar to the feeling he had when he first inherited the Dragon Palace. This should be a new way, which is to rely on pure willpower to speed up the division of dragon scales.

From one to nine, a new beginning.

Lu Zheng stood in the crowd in an extremely relaxed mood, enjoying the nourishment of the power of faith freely. The good thoughts in the heart at the beginning are now rewarded in return, which is cause and effect.

"Hey, big boss. ”

Quiet came to his side at some point and gently patted him on the shoulder.

"What's wrong?"

Lu Zheng turned his head and smiled, his expression was indifferent, and his gaze was distant.

into his crystal clear eyes. There seems to be a string plucked in the depths of the quiet mind, and there is an inexplicable feeling of familiarity.

She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little ridiculous, Lu Zheng was a person she was familiar with, of course there would be a familiar feeling, there was no need to make a fuss.

"The work is almost arranged, don't you go to inspect it as the boss?"

"No need. Lu Zheng shook his head and said, "With you people, I'm very relieved." Why don't you go shopping on the street and buy two strings of sugar gourds to try? ”

"It's so worry-free. ”

Quietly disgusted him, only then did he notice the dragon king altar under the archway. Many passers-by were prostrating their heads and offering incense. She hesitated for a moment, stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly: "I'll go and give the Dragon King a piece of incense." ”

There were many free incense candles prepared next to the altar, and he quietly and carefully picked out three intact sandalwood sticks before holding his elbow with one hand. He lit a candle next to him, shook off the spark, raised it above his head, and knelt down reverently.

Looking at the pious quiet, Lu Zheng wanted to laugh a little, but he still held back. Because in the quiet body, he also felt the faint power of faith, from which it can be seen that her heart is extremely pious and grateful.

After praying quietly and silently for a while, he stood up and respectfully inserted the incense on the incense burner, then tidied up his clothes, returned to Lu Zheng's side, and asked curiously: "Lu Zheng, have you ever offered incense to the Dragon King?"

Lu Zheng snorted and said, "I don't have to go on." ”

"Huh, you don't have to go up?" Quiet's eyes were full of doubts, and she reacted for a moment before she said, "I know, you definitely don't believe it." ”

Lu Zheng was noncommittal, and changed the topic: "Let's go, this boss has changed his mind again, go and inspect the work." Mr. An, lead the way in front of the head. ”

The stage has been built, the dragon dance and lion dance teams are ready to go, and all the brand-new belongings are very lively, which has attracted the attention of many tourists.

The water supply points have also been basically set up, and special service personnel have been arranged in various places of the temple fair, especially the places where the mountain is going up and down.

In the distance is the lush Yegou Mountain, where a corner of the temple is exposed in the shade of green trees on the top of the mountain.

This is the latest dragon king temple built recently, which is dedicated to the Qingjiang dragon king who saved the people from fire and water in the flood, built by the residents and enterprises of Shuangqiao Town, covering an area of ten acres, three before and after, majestic and magnificent.

The main place of worship for the birthday of the Dragon King this time is the Qingjiang Dragon King Temple. It was almost noon, and many tourists began to march towards the Dragon King Temple in advance.

From a distance, there is a mighty long queue lined up on the hiking trail, at least 1,000 people, which is spectacular.

The altar at the archway suddenly remembered the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums sounded in unison, eight shoulders and trousers and cloth shoes, a man in the prime of life who wore yellow silk on his head to dress up in ancient costumes, carried a mahogany gold curtain of eight large sedan chairs, and respectfully put the tablet of the dragon king into the sedan chair.

A series of firecrackers rang out, and after the curling green smoke, an old man wearing an official robe shouted with full of anger: "The dragon king is driving!"

The eight sedan chair drivers spat in their palms and lifted the sedan chair in one go.

The suona hand in front, the gong and drum hand opened the way, and the person in the back held four plaques, which read: The four seas are peaceful, the wind and rain are smooth, the blessings are good, and the merits are immeasurable.

The ritual of sacrificing the dragon king officially began.

"Son, son, come and help. The beaming mother handed down a red lacquered basket from the bus, containing candy, dried fruits, and yellow, orange, and orange popcorn.

"This is for Xiao Jing, you help her hold it. ”

Lu Zheng took it in his hand and asked, "Mom, what about yours?"

Jingjing's face was hot, and he said embarrassedly: "Auntie, I'll just take it myself." ”

My mother glared and said, "He's a big man, and he can't be tired." As he spoke, he got out of the car with a basket on his shoulder.

Lu Zheng stretched out his hand to take hers over, but his mother waved her hand and said, "I'll just take it myself, just exercise it." Let's go, let's follow the team and go to the Dragon King Temple to have a look, and see this dragon lord with great powers. ”

It's really my mother.

Quietly pursed her lips and whispered, "Lu Zheng, give it to me." ”

"It's okay, I happen to be hungry too. Lu Zheng smiled and grabbed a handful of fragrant popcorn from the basket and put it in his mouth, and chewed it rattling.

The old mother slapped the back of his hand and said angrily: "You stinky boy, this is for the Dragon King." If you like to eat, Mom will come home and fry you more. ”

Chewing on the sweet and fragrant popcorn, Lu Zheng said indistinctly: "It's all the same." ”

The old mother grabbed a large handful from her basket and stuffed it into Lu Zheng's pocket, and said angrily: "What is the same." Can it be the same? Well, don't eat it again. Not much. ”

"Where's my dad?"

"Your dad is old and stubborn, and he can't live or die. ”

Dad has always scoffed at these god-like things, and if it weren't for propaganda, he probably wouldn't even come.

Lu Zheng nodded clearly, looked at the majestic palace on the top of the mountain in the distance, and waved his big hand: "Drive back to the palace!"

"You bastard, what are you talking nonsense. ”
