Chapter 37: The Temple of the Gods

Merchants also practiced nature worship, but unlike other tribes who put a white stone to worship, as the wealthiest tribe, they could build a huge temple.

Ancient Egypt created the pyramids thousands of years ago, and its wisdom is astonishing; Although China is not as good as the ancient Egyptian civilization today, with the efforts of the merchants, a huge temple as high as three zhang was directly built.

The temple was hidden in the dense forest, and the vines covered it were impossible to see from outside the tribe, and only when you entered it did you be terrified by the merchant's house-building skills. Just a huge rock arch of about two feet, as well as all kinds of gods on both sides of the door, was enough to shock Taijia.

Nature worship in China is not like in Egypt, where the gods and goddesses of Egypt had their own names as early as a thousand years ago, and even great structures such as the temple of Abu Simbel could be built. Before Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains and Taoism was formed, the gods in China were very vague, and the most worshipped by everyone were Shennong and Nuwa, the gods of agriculture and fertility.

Taijia could only look at the four elephants outside the arch, and the Shennong, who was holding a grass root and carrying a medicine basket on his back, and Nuwa Niangniang, who had a human face and a snake body, and a graceful demeanor, were left aside by him.

"Yakult, why are you here?"

Suddenly, a summons was heard, and a young man dressed in a decent robe, a long robe, and covered in jade walked out. This person is not tall, but his face is kind, with a smile that is easy to get close to, but the robe full of jade, I don't know if it will be heavy.

Yakult said to the man, "Tang Cheng, I'm bringing someone to help you solve the problem!" ”

Tang Cheng's face was overjoyed, and he was suddenly stunned, and asked, "Aren't you stammering?" ”

"Uh...... Thanks to a famous doctor, it should be cured. ”

Tang Cheng was very puzzled by what kind of famous doctor had such ability, but suddenly looked at the ten-year-old boy next to Yakult, breathed a little, and asked in a trembling voice, "It can't be him, right?" ”

"How not? He'll be the one who will help you solve the problem later! ”

"No, this ......" Tang Cheng looked left and right, and pulled Yakult over, "Don't say I'm not a friend enough, first, you said that this guy cured your stammer, I don't believe it at all; Secondly...... A little hairy child, what can he do to solve our problems? ”

Yakult said that if you take the fist of this little hairy child, you can be cured of any disease!

"Don't believe it, do you? I'll let you know a little later! ”

After that, Yakult pulled Tang Cheng in front of Taijia and introduced: "Commoner, this guy is the son of the merchant chieftain, called Tang Cheng, because he is a descendant of Shang King Cheng Tang, so he changed his surname to Tang." ”

"No, you call him...... Plebs? Tang Cheng seemed incredulous, "You actually climbed up to a commoner?" ”

Taijia said dissatisfiedly: "Why not? I call him a fool! ”

Tang Cheng is completely messy, what is the relationship between these two guys? He didn't mind the rank gap with the common people, but what about Yakult? They are notoriously fond of untouchables!

"......By the way," Tygar asked suddenly, "what the hell happened, the fool didn't tell me until now, is it troublesome?" ”

After hearing this, Tang Cheng sighed and said, "It's not troublesome, it's very troublesome!" Let's talk as we go! ”

The three of them entered the Temple of the Gods together, and Tang Cheng also said: "This Temple of the Gods has been completed for nearly eighty years, and there is still no accident. However, just three months ago, out of nowhere, a crocodile suddenly came running and settled in the temple of the gods! My father was so righteous that he couldn't bear to expel him, so he only let his subordinates stay away from that place. ”

"But a month ago, we found out that it was a female who had just laid eggs, and we couldn't find the eggs because they were so small...... You just say it's just one head, so many heads, what should I do if I go out and hurt someone? ”

Taijia blinked his eyes, turned his head and asked, "Fool, what is a dragon?" ”

Yakult said: "The dragon is a very long animal, with a strong attack and thick leather armor, so even our Yangshi bow and arrow may not be able to cause damage to him. That's why I said that only you and Biya can solve this problem. ”

"Then why are you looking for me?"

"If you kill them with a sword, this is a blasphemy in the temple of the gods, and it is best not to ...... And the common people, you have the power to move those crocodiles to where they rightfully belong, and the spirit of nature will forgive you. ”

"Divine power?" Hearing this, Tang Cheng was stunned for a moment, turned his head and asked excitedly, "Are you Taijia?" ”

"You know me?" Thaika was startled by the sudden voice.

Tang Chenglian said: "Of course I know, you move the Divine Stone on Qingcheng Mountain, and you are famous in our tribe!" Hey, I didn't expect you to help, I was rude just now! With that, Tang Cheng hurriedly bowed and apologized, and Taijia was overwhelmed by the horror of this changed attitude.

"My father has heard about you, and will be glad to know that you have come to help! When the time comes, just mention what you want, and our tribe will do our best to help you do it! ”

"So generous?"

"If it weren't for you, no one else would have such an honor!"

Taijia was overjoyed, and said in his heart that he had really come to the right place, and couldn't help but give Yakulta a grateful look. Yakult stood up straighter with his head held high.

The Temple of the Gods is extravagant, and in addition to the tall buildings, the green gardens and the clear water are all natural aromas that make you can't help but take a deep breath. The temple in the embrace of the mountains is a gift of nature, and the murals carved on the stone walls seem to tell the legend of the merchant tribe making a fortune.

Under Tang Cheng's leadership, the three of them walked to the innermost room of the Temple of the Gods. This room is not magnificent, but it is magnificent. On both sides were two Dharma Protector Divine Beasts, surrounded by the bronze formation, a bearded scum, a middle-aged man over forty years old, was in it.

"Father!"

Tang Huai saw that it was his son, and a smile appeared on his tired face, as if this kind of smile was characteristic of a businessman. He got up slowly, stepped through the bronze vessel and walked out, he didn't know whether he was sloppy or casual, in short, Taijia felt that this person was very much like a nobleman.

Tang Huai is very dirty, in addition to an untreated beard, there is also a greasy, unkempt hair, a white robe casually drooped from his body, looking very unenergetic, if he is a slave, Taijia will also believe it.

However, when Yakult told him that this was Shanghou, he had to accept this fact.

"Cheng'er, these people are ......"

Tang Cheng hurriedly said: "Father, the older one is the young son of the Yang family, and the younger one is the son of the god of the Di clan, which is Taijia!" ”

"Thai ...... Thai armor? When Tang Huai heard this name, he actually smiled even brighter, "You are finally here, I went to your tribe to find your elder a few days ago, and Gong Changqiu's old guy also agreed, but I didn't expect it to drag on for so long!" ”

Tai Jia Yileng: "Shanghou, I didn't hear the elder talk about this!" ”

"It doesn't matter what, just come, just come!" Shanghou seemed to be a person who only cared about the result, and waved his hand unmindfully, "Cheng'er, did you tell him about the situation?" ”

"The child has told him."

Tang Huai nodded, walked out of the temple and said: "All the animals that enter the temple and inhabit are the tests of the gods, and we have accepted many tests, and we must not retreat because the other party is a fierce beast!" The wizard has calculated that the hatching day of this ray is just a few days, and while the baby ray has not yet hatched, the mother is still weak, and we should attack quickly! ”

Taijia asked, "What does Shanghou plan to let the kid do?" ”

"I've ordered a cage to be built, and all I have to do is put the mother and all the eggs in it...... Hehe, don't look at me like that, I'm not here to lock it up! ”

When Taijia heard that he was going to lock those dragons together, he thought that this merchant marquis, like those nobles, wanted to raise them for his own play, and his brows couldn't help frowning, until Tang Huai broke it, and then he blushed.

"What does the merchant mean?" Yakult asked.

Tang Huai said softly: "There is a tunnel under the cage that I ordered someone to build, and after all those little rays hatch out, open the tunnel, and the tunnel will bring those rays to the lower reaches of the Min River." As for what happened after that...... Then it's time for people in the lower reaches of the Min River to have a headache. ”

"This ...... If you hurt someone, aren't you afraid that the gods will blame you? ”

Tang Huai said: "The temple is the eyes of the gods, I just need to let them see what they want to see...... I am not a saint, and I am not obligated to ensure the safety of everyone's life, nor am I obligated to raise every ray until it dies of old age......"

"I'm just a person."

Thaica was speechless to refute.

looks good in front of his superiors, but behind this, he just has seven emotions and six desires like ordinary people...... Maybe that's what people are!

No one is qualified to condemn others from the perspective of a saint, after all, everyone has seven emotions and six desires, and everyone has selfishness, even Taijia has no angle to condemn others from a moral standpoint.

You can't do it yourself, so why should you ask others? Are you a moral?

"Shanghou, Shanghou! Something is wrong! ”

A sound pierced the hallway of the temple, and before long a dismayed soldier rushed there. He looked at Tang Huai and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Shanghou, the big thing is not good, that group of rays is about to hatch!" ”

The people who heard this could no longer calm down.
