Chapter 17: The Banyan God
"Whoa!"
Chen Haoran rode hard across the bridge across the Panlong River, which was long enough at 1,345 meters. Before the city was founded, this bridge was a pontoon bridge, a pontoon bridge connected by a small landing craft, and I was very happy to cross this bridge because it was shaky and the waves hit from time to time, which was very exciting.
After crossing the bridge, you will find the old town, the real old town.
Because this is the city center of Chacheng before the city was established, after the city was established, the status of this side naturally dropped by a level.
However, it is also a very prosperous section, especially the shopping mall pedestrian street near Qiaotou, which is the most crowded place, the most expensive store rent, and the most complete place in Chacheng, until ten years later, it was replaced by the new district business district in the east, which is still a wilderness.
After riding for about a kilometer, you will come to the famous Street Garden.
Chen Haoran set up his bicycle and walked straight to the center of the garden, when he saw the banyan tree standing in the center of the garden, extremely tall, with spacious and lush branches and leaves covering the center position, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this is the banyan god of Chacheng.
The roots of this big banyan tree cover an area of hundreds of square meters, many thick old roots are protruding from the ground, the diameter of the main trunk reaches more than one meter, the height is almost 20 meters, and the crown coverage is almost three or four hundred square meters.
And the age of this banyan tree is said to have reached more than 5,000 years, I don't know if it's true or not, anyway, the sign erected on the side says so. It is said that at that time, the garden management office was also ready to fence off the banyan tree, but it was demolished on the day of construction, and after several times, the garden management office did not have this mind.
It's not that this ancient tree is not protected, but this big banyan tree does not need to be protected at all, because in Chacheng, no one will harm it at all, and no one will dare to harm it.
As for Weimao, look at the location in the south, a few meters away from the roots of the tree, there is a large open space, stacked with thousands of large and small incense burners, countless incense sticks inserted in the incense burner, and the incense ash that has been specially poured is spread there layer by layer. And on the branches of the southern part of the big banyan tree, it is hung horizontally and vertically with all kinds of colorful cloth strips for blessings, vows, peace and so on.
Well, there is also a big notice board erected over there, which means that only incense can be used here, and it is not allowed to burn candles, let alone burn paper money and set off firecrackers, and violators will be expelled!
Look at it, this big banyan tree has long been worshiped by the people of Chacheng many years ago, according to the relevant departments to clean up the innermost layer of the incense burner, at least two thousand years ago pottery incense burner, but because it is just an ordinary pottery product, and it is rotten, there is not much value, those relevant departments will stop, otherwise I am afraid that these old incense burners will be swept away!
You must know that when the relevant departments came to study the big banyan tree, it was only by letting the riot police stop the surging crowd that they were able to study it.
In addition, when the city was built and the city was built, I don't know which guy who was greedy for profit, and he was actually ready to sell the area where the big banyan tree was located to engage in real estate development, and the real estate developers patted their chests and said that they would never damage the big banyan tree, and specially found the most famous experts in the country to be responsible for digging up the big banyan tree and transplanting it to other places.
And then as a result, tens of thousands of indigenous people in Chacheng took to the streets to demonstrate, and if it had not been dealt with in a timely manner, I am afraid that a major conflict would have broken out.
And because of the special mentality of the natives of Chacheng towards the big banyan tree, this best commercial development area regardless of location or crowds has been turned into a street garden that needs government subsidies, but it also makes the big banyan tree always erect here.
This big banyan tree is already a spiritual symbol of Chacheng, not just a superstitious thing, look at the people chatting, playing cards, playing chess, and playing under the big banyan tree, you know that this big banyan tree has been integrated into the soul of Chacheng people, and even some people shout that children who have never frolicked under the big banyan tree in their childhood are not real children of Chacheng natives!
Chen Haoran approached the big banyan tree with awe and reverence, because he knew that in the future, the big banyan tree with the nickname of the banyan god would really become the banyan god!
Although he lived far away from his hometown, he couldn't witness the magnificent scene of the Banyan God killing all sides to protect the water and soil, but didn't he have a video?
Therefore, for such an existence, whether it is fear of the other party's strength or reverence for the other party's quality, Chen Haoran approached this big banyan tree with a respectful mood.
Stretching out his hand and pressing on the trunk of the big banyan tree, Chen Haoran closed his eyes and muttered: "Grandma Banyan God, I came to ask you for a Dan furnace, this thing is useless to you, but it has a huge effect on me, and it can give me the strength to protect the people I care about, so I'm welcome." ”
Chen Haoran just felt that he was stealing without telling him, and he went to take it after telling him to beg for it, so he specially informed Rong Shen. After all, within a radius of a few hundred meters is the territory of the Banyan God, and the things in this territory are all the Banyan God's.
As for Mao's grandmother who is called the banyan god? That's because the embodiment of the future banyan god is the costume of an ancient rich old woman on crutches!
I don't know why, after the beep, Chen Haoran suddenly felt that his vision was much clearer, his voice became crisper, and more importantly, the air actually became very good. And not only that, but the people who were hanging around the banyan god also shouted in amazement: "Why did the air suddenly become fresher?"
Chen Haoran looked up at the whole banyan tree in amazement, saw that the banyan tree was full of vitality, and then felt the very comfortable and comfortable feeling that suddenly appeared, and couldn't help but smile a little.
Damn, although the Banyan God will not be able to manifest his divine power until one or twenty years later, when Chacheng encounters a crisis, it cannot be determined that the Banyan God will have divine consciousness after one or two decades, and it is impossible to say that people have divine consciousness for thousands of years, after all, there is a vitality in the world now, but it is not as rich as when the vitality broke out.
And the banyan god, which has existed for at least five or six thousand years, has absorbed those rare vitality all year round, plus has enjoyed incense for thousands of years and gathered so many beliefs, it is strange to say that this big banyan tree has no mutations. Just that all the children of the past generations have frolicked and played under this big banyan tree, and there has never been an accident when they climb up and down, so we can understand the meaning of this.
I don't know why, Chen Haoran suddenly had a feeling of admiration, after all, he didn't frolic under this banyan tree when he was a child. Then he was completely relaxed: "Hehe, the things of the ancestors, our little grandchildren should have no problem at all when they play with them." ”
Feeling that the Banyan God and himself were grandchildren, and it was natural for him to take the things of the Banyan God himself, Chen Haoran naturally began to sneak towards the southern piece full of incense burners in a happy mood, preparing to find a way to get rid of the Dan furnace after finding the existence of the Dan Furnace.
After all, he wasn't an idiot to rummage through the incense burner in broad daylight, it was just a matter of scolding.
