Chapter 46: Departure to the Dragon King Temple
Longwang Temple is a more famous Buddhist temple in the Western Regions, every day there will be groups of people come here to burn incense and pray for blessings, and even some people come from far away, just to make a wish.
The Western Regions are different from the Central Plains, and the people here are very superstitious, so while praying for blessings, they often pay tribute to various gifts. For example, Empress Tianrong comes here once a year and brings various treasures to offer. It is rumored that this year, she brought a different treasure than usual, which makes the world wonder what it is.
In addition, the Dragon King Temple, every time you receive a valuable gift, it will be stored in the Dragon King Tower, so what is the Dragon King Tower?
"The Dragon King Tower is about 20 zhang high, with a total of 18 floors." Lou Xiaoyue introduced, seeing that Hua Jiu listened very seriously, he continued: "The treasures of the tribute will be placed on the highest layer, but each floor is guarded by organs. In recent years, there have been many thieves who want to enter the treasure, but they can't get past the eighth floor. ”
"This tower is so powerful?!" Hua Jiu was secretly startled.
Sure enough, this treasure place is heavily guarded, otherwise how can it bring out the value of the treasure?
"So far, no one has succeeded in stealing." Lou Xiaoyue took a sip of tea, and then struck: "If you can't enter, don't force it, especially a three-legged cat kung fu person like you, it is estimated that you can't pass the third floor." ”
Hua Jiu pouted, not wanting him to look down on him, so he stood up and said firmly: "I, Hua Jiu, am the first person to succeed!" The tone was very strong, as if he was quite dissatisfied with the person in front of him.
Lou Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows, "Really?" Suddenly, I felt that the serious appearance of the woman in front of me was also a bit interesting.
After Hua Jiu finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that he was the leader of the Demon Sect, so the momentum just now slowly dissipated, slowly sat down, held his chin and muttered, "Don't look down on me, maybe I will succeed." ”
"Hahaha......" Lou Xiaoyue suddenly laughed, from birth to the first time he was teased by a woman, he didn't even notice it.
He just felt that her colorful expression had changed too quickly, and it was so funny that it couldn't help but make people laugh.
At this time, Hua Jiu didn't know that his actions just now had successfully amused the demon lord in front of him, it was rumored that he was a thousand-year-old ice cube face, and he had always been cold and disdainful of the world, and today a third expression suddenly appeared, which is really thought-provoking. If people knew that this strange situation was caused by a woman, the people in the rivers and lakes would definitely shake their heads and laugh and say that it was impossible.
Hua Jiu felt very uncomfortable when he was laughing at himself, so he said to him, "I will definitely steal a treasure to show you this time." ”
She wants to prove herself and prove that she is not a nameless thief who can't steal anything!
After that, he got up and walked towards the door, and did not forget to turn his head to look at Lou Xiaoyue, and said, "Tomorrow, you wait for my news." ”
What kind of look is that? Serious, stubborn, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied, which made him stunned for a long time, and then looked at her thin back as she walked farther and farther, and couldn't help but fall into a trance.
Well, he wanted to see how powerful this woman really was, and what kind of treasure she could steal.
A street was bustling with people coming and going, and Hua Jiu asked around about the specific location of the Dragon King Temple. When she first arrived, she was not familiar with Yiqiē here, and what made her strange was that Lou Xiaoyue knew everything, obviously he had been in the Central Plains, could it be that he had also been to the Western Regions before?
I don't want to think about it, let's try my best to find the Dragon King Temple, thinking about it, she walked towards a stall selling kites.
"Girl, come and see kites, there are many varieties, and the workmanship is very exquisite." The kite-selling lady saw someone coming and was busy selling.
Hua Jiu shook his hand, "Auntie, I'll ask you about a place." ”
It turned out that she didn't buy kites, and the eldest lady was suddenly disappointed, and then sat down on the stool, "Where do you ask?" ”
"Dragon King Temple." Hua Jiu replied.
"No, the Dragon King Temple doesn't know? You're an outsider, aren't you?! The eldest lady was surprised, and began to look her up and down.
"Hehe, yes, I heard that the Dragon King Temple here is very famous, and I want to pray for a blessing." Hua Jiu scratched the back of his head and replied with a smile.
The eldest lady nodded, thinking to herself that she had been setting up a stall here for more than ten years, and almost everyone who came and went could be named. No wonder she felt a little unsure when she first came, it turned out that she was not local.
Immediately, she was very enthusiastic to tell her about the location of the Dragon King Temple.
"Girl, do you see that street over there, cross an arched bridge from here, and then turn two streets, you can see the Dragon King Temple, the distance is very close, you can get there in a while." As she spoke, she didn't forget to stick out her index finger and point across the street.
Looking in the direction, Hua Jiu probably understood the direction, so he nodded at her and said, "Thank you, auntie." ”
At this time, the eldest lady couldn't help but say: "I heard that making a wish in the Dragon King Temple is very effective, last month, Lord He of West Street went to ask for a son, and guess what, at the beginning of this month, his wife gave birth to a fat boy." ”
"Wow, that's smart." Hua Jiu stared.
It seems that this Dragon King Temple is very mysterious, as if she is asking for something, which also makes her even more eager to explore it. So, after thanking the eldest lady again, she walked towards the opposite side.
After crossing the arch bridge, she faintly saw the shadow of the Dragon King Tower, which was indeed very high, so she could look at it from such a distance. So I continued to walk forward, and I saw that there was a lot of excitement not far away, and a group of people gathered together, not knowing what to do. Then I saw a golden palace standing impressively in the middle of the crowd, engraved with three big black characters - Dragon King Temple.
The magnificent Buddhist temple of Haosheng is like the palace of the emperor, and the gold and splendor are very eye-catching.
After Hua Jiu saw it, he was full of praise, he didn't expect that a temple that burns incense could be so bullish. Then, she walked towards the temple again, and then she saw a monk in charge of the temple standing by the door reading the sign that people had just asked for.
"Donor, there will be a windfall in your family recently." The monk was saying to a common man dressed in gray, and after he finished speaking, the common man immediately became excited and hurriedly replied, "Thank you, master, thank you, master." ”
How did he know that his family had recently lost money? This surprised Hua Jiu on the side, so he also ran over to join in the fun.
"Master, can you help me see, have I had a windfall recently?" She looked at him expectantly.
"Amitabha, the poor monk can only unravel, not fortune-telling." The monk arched his hand, bent down and bowed, looking very polite.
"Where do you get money?" Suddenly, as if interested, she asked again.
So, the monk pointed to the right not far away, and saw a Buddha statue in front of a bamboo tube, and a woman was kneeling on the cushion in front of the Buddha statue at this time, holding the bamboo tube in her hand and shaking, and listening to the sound of the sign inside. Behind her, there was also a group of people, one after another who seemed to be queuing.
