Many years ago, Jiangcheng was far less prosperous than it is now, and even the food and clothing of the people became a problem, and poor people who were hungry and cold could be seen everywhere, and the Nuwa Temple was built at that time. At first, people did not believe that praying to God and Buddha could be exchanged for a good life, but would only cheat money and food, so no one believed it, until later a person held the mentality of a dead horse as a live horse to petition, and after it was really realized, people believed that there was a god in the Nuwa Temple.

After the news of the fulfillment of the wish of the Nuwa Temple spread, more and more people began to worship, and it gradually became a local custom to celebrate the festival once a year.

It all started 10 years ago.

"Ten years ago, we had two crazy people here." The mother-in-law swallowed her saliva, as if she had a terrible flood beast in her memory, and under Feng Changqi's curious gaze, she continued to speak, "That's two young people, a man and a woman, who are dressed in rags and dirty, and live in a dilapidated wooden house near the Nuwa Temple. The villagers said that they had fled and couldn't get along at home, so they came to our Jiangcheng to eat a bite of food. At first, I believed these arguments, thinking that they were pitiful, and sometimes I would bring them some food left over from home........

That night, it was like that. When I went to look for them with food, I was surprised to see them kidnap a little girl, knock her unconscious, and drag her to the Nuwa Temple. I didn't know at the time, come and ........."

The mother-in-law's brows were tightly twisted into a Sichuan character, and the words in her mouth pieced together the past into a picture little by little.

It turned out that the two madmen were not poor people fleeing at all, but tomb robbers. I don't know where they learned that there was a treasure under the Nuwa Temple, so they directly hit the idea above. Begging around frantically during the day is actually to find out the situation. The little girl they kidnapped was actually a key for them to open the door to the secret room.

"I don't remember exactly what happened that night, but I only know that when the villagers found the Nuwa Temple, the little girl had been drained of blood, and she was angry for a long time, and her death was very miserable. A good child was suddenly gone, and the little girl's family naturally couldn't swallow their breath, so they immediately gathered their relatives and friends, caught the tomb robbers in the secret room, and beat them to death in the Nuwa Temple, and threw the corpse into the wild to feed the wolves. ”

Feng Changqi tightened his sleeves, his slender willow eyebrows frowned slightly, if this woman hadn't talked about it, she wouldn't have known that such a terrifying thing had happened in a corner of Meng Liguo many years ago.

"Doesn't the government care?"

"Hehe, how can the government manage? Jiangcheng, a poor and remote place, where birds don't, is a ghost place where everyone wants to leave, and those people in the government are busy opening up the relationship above and transferring themselves out, where is there any air traffic to manage this side of the matter? As long as they don't make too much trouble on the surface, there will be a homicide, and they can also turn a blind eye. It's just a pity for that little girl, who is gone at a young age. There is also the Nuwa Temple, where three people died, so frightened that people did not dare to go again, and gradually the incense was cut off. I heard that Nuwa Niangniang stopped protecting her later, because this incident made her old man unhappy. ”

The mother-in-law said that she has a nose and eyes, if it weren't for Feng Changqi's heart, I'm afraid she would really have to believe it.

She sighed with half-lowered eyes and said, "I didn't expect that there would be a life lawsuit in Nuwa Temple, and it has been abandoned....... It seems that it is impossible to go to the temple to offer incense and pray for blessings. ”

The mother-in-law is also shrewd, and when she heard Feng Changqi say the word prayer, she instantly understood: "Does Your Highness want to pray for the little prince who has suffered many disasters?" ”

Feng Changqi subconsciously touched his cheek: "It's not that I have words written on my face, and you can guess it at once." ”

"They are all parents, and the children of the old slaves are also frail and sick when they are so old, and I have also been to the Nuwa Temple to pray for blessings."

Feng Changqi said calmly: "Since you have already guessed it, then it is meaningless for me to continue to cover it up." That's right, I want to go to the Nuwa Temple to pray for blessings, precisely for the sake of the children. She turned her gaze and landed on a flower tree outside the window, her slightly pale face was full of worry, just like a mother worried about her child, "You've been in the house for a while, I think you should have heard about him, right?" The child was born before it was full-term, and was naturally weaker than the others. At first, I thought that he was sick for two days for this reason, and he had been carefully taken care of, and he didn't dare to make any mistakes, but I still couldn't avoid it.

Later, I was reminded that the child might not just be sick, but had collided with something unclean. ”

The expression on the mother-in-law's face froze: "This is not necessarily, Your Highness has a noble status, and he was born a person with profound blessings, and he is blessed by his own gods!" How can you run into something unclean? Someone must be talking nonsense! ”

Feng Changqi shook his head: "I don't care if this is true or not, as long as I can save my child and let him grow up safely, I am willing to do anything." ”

When she spoke, the corners of Feng Changqi's eyes and eyebrows were full of firmness, as if she was asked to die for the child the next moment, she would not hesitate to do it.

The mother-in-law's heart moved slightly.

"Nuwa Temple has not been blessed by the gods for many years, even if you go to incense, you may not be able to get your wish, but if Your Highness believes this, I have a suggestion that I don't like to hear, old slave!"

Feng Changqi's eyes lit up, like a person who had been in the dark for a long time was as happy as he suddenly saw the light: "What advice?" ”

"Although we do not have the protection of the queen in Jiangcheng, there is another god, he is from the west, he is the head of the dragons, and he may be able to fulfill the wish of His Highness. However, the prerequisite is that His Highness must become his follower. ”

After saying these words for a long time, he finally detoured the topic without the other party's suspicion, Feng Changqi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and deliberately pretended to be unclear and asked: "What is the dragon god from the west?" How come I've never heard of it? ”

"Alas, after His Royal Highness came to Jiangcheng, he stayed in the Taishou Mansion all day, and the number of times he went out was only a handful, how did he know what was going on outside? Besides, the matter of the dragon god is only praised among believers, and those who have no chance are not even qualified to know, Your Highness is related to the dragon god. If it weren't for His Royal Highness's love for his son, I'm afraid the old slave wouldn't have said the word dragon god. ”

Qingxiu frowned, and the dissatisfaction on her face was undisguised: "You won't be here to preach?" This kind of thing can't be said to His Highness casually, I'm afraid of dirty His Highness's ears! ”

"Ahem, Qingxiu girl, your words are not good, punish the evil and promote the good, and help others for fun, where is the mission? This is clearly to help the world, and the old slave is also thinking about His Royal Highness the Emperor. ”

Qingxiu had long been impatient with this old woman of Shinto Taoism: "Missionary is missionary, what are you doing with so many excuses?" Not interesting at all! If you go out to win over believers, even three-year-old children will dislike you for being naïve! ”

Qingxiu wanted to scold, but when she saw Feng Changqi waving her hand, she said softly: "Qingxiu, I want to eat the osmanthus cake made in the kitchen, you go and see if the kitchen is prepared." ”

Qingxiu immediately gasped, unable to believe her ears.

There are many people in and out of this courtyard, and they can order anyone to go to the kitchen, but Feng Changqi chose her!

The drunkard's intention is not to drink, but to break her up!

Despite all the reluctance in her heart, Qingxiu still chose to leave the room, and before leaving, she glared at her mother-in-law viciously.

As the door was closed, Feng Changqi smiled apologetically: "Don't be surprised, Qingxiu is this character." ”

The mother-in-law laughed and said: "Don't worry, people like us who have faith in the dragon god have long been accustomed to the strange eyes of outsiders, like them who slander indiscriminately without knowing the situation, I'm afraid that they will never understand the benefits of having the protection of the gods." ”

Feng Changqi is really curious this time, the so-called dragon god, why did so many people die for it?

"As long as you join the religion and become a believer in the dragon god, will the dragon god give you protection? Can all the wishes made come true? ”

The mother-in-law nodded vigorously: "Exactly, the dragon god will listen carefully to the voices of all believers, and no matter how high or low they are, they can realize their wishes." You may not believe it when you say it, Your Highness, but the old slave was blessed by the dragon god many years ago. Many years ago, when my only son was going up the mountain to collect medicine, he accidentally fell off the cliff and was seriously injured and dying. When our family was heartbroken, it was the dragon god who suddenly appeared and pulled him back from the ghost gate!

Since this incident, our whole family has become a devout disciple of the dragon god, not to mention the worship in the morning and evening, and even more to worship during the New Year's holidays, just hoping that the dragon god can see our piety, so that all of our family can be safe. ”

There was a light flashing in Feng Changqi's eyes, as if he was expecting it, and he seemed to be afraid of something: "The dragon god is so powerful." ”

"About this matter, the old slave can raise his hand and swear!" As she spoke, the woman raised her hand and swore an oath, "If half of what I said today is false, there will be five thunderstorms every day, and I will not die!" ”

Feng Changqi was finally moved, and tightened the clothes in his hand and said: "What you said makes me can't help but be moved, I just don't know that your sect has such strict requirements, how can you enter?" If it's convenient, can you please help me pull a line so that I can also become a believer in the dragon god? As long as I can let my children grow up safely, I am willing to do anything, and I can also become the most devout believer in the dragon god. ”
