Liu Dapeng made a few rollers to install under the iron box, so that a lot of effort can be saved in the process of handling.

A group of people began to walk slowly north along the Guliu River, passing by a Niangniang temple where the incense is quite good on the way, the old willow tree in front of the temple looks some years, but even if it is a cold winter, there are still pieces of green leaves on the willow branches, which are extremely vibrant.

Wei Cheng originally thought that everyone would continue to hurry, but he didn't expect Ye Fan to go to the temple to take a look, and then Li Qingfeng and Li Mingyue also walked in curiously.

Chen Qiaoqian doesn't care, it's not bad for this time, it's good to go in and burn incense and pray for blessings, so you should ask for a good fortune.

Niangniang Temple is not too big, but the furnishings and decoration are much better than expected.

In the shrine of the house facing the river, there is a clay statue of a mother, and the whole body is painted with gold paint. The tribute incense is displayed below, apparently someone has just set it up.

It's just that it's already hour, but the lights inside and outside the small temple are brilliant, and there are still lanterns hanging on. Outside the temple, there were more than ten men and women who looked like maids and servants, chatting in twos and threes.

Ye Fan stepped forward and asked softly: "This little brother, may I ask how far this place is from Chongling Pass?"

When those people saw Ye Fan's white clothes fluttering and his bearing was extraordinary, it should be the son of a rich and noble family who came out to play, and couldn't help but smile, and said kindly: "If you go back to Gongzi, this Guliu Niangniang Temple is exactly five hundred and fifty miles away from Chongling Pass, and you will walk three hundred miles along the Guliu River, and then walk two hundred miles north to arrive." However, Rong Xiao reminded the son, I heard that there has been a big event in Chongling Pass recently, but it is not a good place to play, and the son should pay more attention. ”

Ye Fan nodded with a smile, and then said to a few people: "Is it inconvenient for Fang Fang to put incense on Niangniang now?"

The man hurriedly said, "What's inconvenient about this, son, please go inside." There is no one now, you are today's incense, and the blessing you pray for will definitely work. The merit box is on the left side of the statue and you can see it when you go in. ”

Ye Fan bowed his head slightly to express his gratitude.

Li Qingfeng and Li Mingyue also rushed over at this time, saying that they were also going to put incense on the pillar, and several people walked to the temple together.

Entering the temple, an old woman greeted her, and when she saw Ye Fan's eyes shining slightly, she said: "Son, do you want to pray for blessings and incense?" We have four kinds of incense, a small incense of ten cents, a big incense of five taels of silver, a dragon incense of ten taels of gold, and the most precious and spiritual Gu Liu incense. It's just that the price of this Gu Liuxiang is a little higher, and you need a snow spirit coin. A few of you are the first incense today, the better the incense, the more effective, son, do you want to have a Gu Liu incense?

Hearing this, Ye Fan lowered his head and asked the little girl: "Xiao Mingyue, you can come to the head incense." You can incense whatever you want, and the big brother pays. ”

Li Mingyue said: "Mingyue just wants a small incense, my wish is not big, I can't use too good incense." ”

Ye Fan was greatly moved when he heard this, Xiao Mingyue was really sensible, and she knew how to save money for herself.

As for what incense you want to put on.

Ye Fan thought about it, now that he has some money in his pocket, and a stick of incense doesn't need more silver, what can he do if he burns a better one?

So Ye Fan gritted his teeth and was ruthless.

I asked for a big incense.

Li Qingfeng also asked for one.

Seeing this, the old woman muttered a little in her heart, are all the sons of this rich family picking and searching like this?

It's just that the old woman's words are only limited to thinking about it in her heart, and her face is not revealing the slightest. After working in Guliu Niangniang Temple for many years, he is not so snobbish and looks at people, if he really offends a certain master and removes himself, how can he still find such a good errand?

After Ye Fan put the incense money into the merit box, he saw the old woman coming over with three incense sticks, and was about to reach out to pick it up, but the old woman quickly retracted her hand and said, "Childe, you don't know anything about it for the first time." The incense of this Guliu Niangniang Temple must be picked up by the incense burner in person, and it will not work if others touch it first. ”

When Ye Fan heard this, he hurriedly pulled Xiao Mingyue over, and he was still a little scared in his heart, but fortunately, his hands were slow, or the money would have been spent in vain.

The little girl took the little incense from the old woman's hand, and then knelt down in front of the statue of the mother and muttered to herself, kowtowed twice and stood up.

Ye Fan asked with a smile, "What wish did Xiao Mingyue make?"

The little girl shook her head and said, "No, you can't say it, if you say it, it won't work." ”

The boy scratched his head and honestly didn't ask again.

Li Qingfeng didn't kneel down, but just held a big incense stick and bowed a few times before inserting it into the incense burner.

Ye Fan flicked the white robe and knelt in front of the statue of the mother, just making a wish for smooth sailing. After kowtowing a few times, the old woman inserted the incense into the incense burner for Ye Fan.

Chen Qiaoqian also followed in at this time, and said to the old woman with a smile: "I just have a wish that I want to ask my mother to fulfill, so give me a Gu Liuxiang." ”

Ye Fan sighed in his heart, rich people are different.

Chen Qiaoqian took out a snow spirit coin and put it into the merit box, and when she saw the old woman turn around to get incense, she said to a few people: "This Niangniang temple is quite famous in several nearby counties, according to legend, more than a hundred years ago, the Guliu Niangniang Temple spread throughout the Guliu River, and the incense was extremely vigorous, but in recent years, the momentum has ceased to grow. But the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, so the eaves of this temple are covered with glazed tiles, and the lights are lit in the daytime, and the background behind the Niangniang Temple is not simple, at least it is also a big family in the county town. ”

Ye Fan was amazed.

A Niangniang temple can see so many doorways, and sure enough, it is the shopkeeper Chen, who is well-informed.

Chen Qiaoqian took the one that was more than a foot long, looked at the extremely delicate Gu Liuxiang, and bowed down to the statue of Niangniang with a solemn expression, kowtowing a few times.

Shopkeeper Chen stood up, turned his head and said to a few people: "In the future, if you meet a temple and a temple, try to worship them all, it is a good thing to be associated with the immortal landscape." ”

Ye Fan thought so deeply and nodded in agreement.

The little girl didn't understand so much, but when she saw Ye Fan's appearance, she thought in her heart that if she really met the temple in the future, she would definitely go to worship it.

Ye Fan and the others burned incense and worshipped the statue, and then prepared to hurry.

It's just that when I walked in front of the temple gate, I vaguely heard the conversation of those people.

"Have you heard, Gu Liujiang recently saw a big python, it's scary. ”

"I've heard of it for a long time, and I've heard that the python is golden, and its head alone is the size of a cow. Be honest, don't come to the river at night to mess around, otherwise you won't know if you're eaten by a snake. ”

Ye Fan had some doubts in his heart, how could this be like talking about the little snake?

Then the young man took a few steps forward and asked the few people who were talking in a low voice, "May I ask you, who and where did you see that giant python?" ”

The man turned around and saw that it was Ye Fan, so he hurriedly replied with a smile: "Childe, I don't know about this little one, I heard it all from a friend." However, many fishermen who went to the river to fish said that they saw the giant python, which should be a real thing, and the sons and a few people should be careful when walking along the Guliu River, so as not to be hurt by the giant python. ”

Ye Fan hugged a fist of thanks when he heard this, which flattered the man, and then walked out of the temple gate.

Li Qingfeng asked, "Is it a little snake?"

The little girl also said a little anxiously: "Big brother, was it when I was in Hengfu River, that black snake bullied the little snake so it came here?"

Ye Fan sighed and replied: "The scales of snakes and pythons are rarely golden, but it is difficult to conclude whether it is a small snake or not, I believe that if it sees us, it will definitely appear, and it will know when the time comes." ”

Chen Qiaoqian didn't understand any reason after hearing this, so she asked with a little curiosity: "Who is this little snake?" You seem to be very familiar with it." ”

Ye Fan nodded and said to Chen Qiaoqian: "The little snake was met by me in my hometown of Yanming Town, and then disappeared after seeing each other when I walked to Hengfu River. Listening to the words of those people, it looked very similar to a small snake, and it should have arrived in the area of Guliujiang, so I thought it would be good to meet it again. ”

This time, it was Chen Qiaoqian's turn to be surprised.

Since ancient times, it has been difficult for humans to have a relationship with monsters and monsters. Leaving aside the shackles of human ethics for the time being, there are not a few people who have the idea that their hearts must be different if they are not of our race.

That's not even counting the fact that a large number of monsters and spirits are slightly hostile to humans.

Therefore, it is really a miracle that Ye Fan and a few people can become friends with a giant python.

At least Chen Qiaoqian, who is still well-informed, has never seen it.

Ye Fan saw the people who were stopping in the distance, and he also sped up his steps forward, the incense had been burned, and it was important to hurry up now.

There is still a long way to go, and the situation at Chongling Pass is not optimistic.

Ye Fan took out the terrain map and looked at it carefully, and said while looking at it: "The rest of the road is much easier, but there are few official roads in the two hundred miles after leaving the Guliujiang River, and there will be some bumps." ”

Chen Qiaoqian nodded, "Since the road is easy to walk, we will strive to reach Chongling Pass within five days, the front is tight, and this batch of materials is very important." ”

Ye Fan put away the map, took Xiao Mingyue's hand and looked at the river in front of him.

The mind gradually calmed down.
