Chapter 1 The Deserted Temple of the Snow Mountain
In the cold winter, the area of Shenyu Mountain has long been covered by snow, and the sky is cold and frozen.
There is a temple in the mountain that looks like an abandonment, the wooden structure shows signs of decay in many places, and the temple is overgrown with weeds and desolate.
A team of climbers happened to pass by, but in this remote place, no one would be interested in a dilapidated temple, but would avoid it.
Chen Mofei is a member of this mountaineering team, Chinese New Year's Eve, and is an entrepreneur.
He has a habit, whether it is a Taoist temple or a Buddhist temple, he must worship every temple.
He was a little too superstitious in the eyes of others, and he often laughed it off.
At this time, the mountaineering team was about to take a break, and Chen Mofei did not ask the opinions of others, and walked into the temple alone. Because when it comes to religion, he thinks it's a very personal thing.
The temple is actually not small, there is a main hall, two side halls, and there are a few houses behind the main hall, but now they are all dilapidated.
Chen Mofei didn't expect that there were murals depicted in the ruins of the temple, and the characters in the paintings, he didn't recognize them, these birds and beasts were even more rare, driven by curiosity, he watched them carefully.
It's not like Buddhism, it's not Taoism, it's not like a European myth? What the hell is this drawing?
Chen Mofei was very curious, and came to the door of the main hall while observing carefully.
As soon as I stepped into the main hall, there was a strange fragrance from my nose, I couldn't tell what it was, I just felt a long-lasting feeling.
Sniffing the strange fragrance, Chen Mofei was surprised to find that in this hall, there were a few ever-bright lights faintly illuminated, could it be that there were still people living here? Maybe some mountain people would often stop at this time to rest.
Looking at the main hall again, a strange statue stands in the center, this statue is different from the statue that Chen Mofei has seen on weekdays, he has no face, but covers his whole body with a big robe, the face of the god is hidden in the big robe, only a pair of hands are exposed, holding two scrolls in his hands, and the big robe is engraved with dense, strange runes.
Who the hell is this? Could this strange dress be some kind of cult?
Chen Mofei stared at the idol, as if he wanted to see through the idol, and gradually, he stared at it.
"Madame, there is a temple here. ”
"yes, why don't you go in with me. ”
Two voices came from outside the temple, Chen Mofei turned around, only to see that the original barren temple had become very clean and tidy, through the gate of the main hall, Chen Mofei found that two figures walked inside.
Looking at the people carefully, Chen Mofei looked slightly surprised.
In this cold and freezing day, I saw two women dressed in ancient costumes, wearing only a silk dress into the temple, one of them was graceful and luxurious, with excellent appearance, and the temperament revealed on her body was by no means ordinary, and she looked like a noble lady, but there was a faint sadness between her eyebrows.
Carefully supporting her all the way by her side, it should be this noble lady's maid.
This..... In the deserted mountains, how could there be such a strangely dressed two?
When the two of them walked into the main hall, Chen Mofei wanted to come forward and ask, but the two of them didn't seem to see Chen Mofei at all, and they didn't even see anyone in their eyes, so they passed by Chen Mofei like this.
Chen Mofei then turned around and was about to speak, but then what shocked him even more.
Originally full of dust, the cold and desolate scene was swept away, and the hall presented at this time was extremely golden and splendid, and the lanterns were hung high, and it was bright.
The statue of the god is still the same statue, but the degree of cleanliness at this time is also a new look.
Suddenly, from the side of the main hall, a man dressed in the same clothes as the statue of the god and wearing a large robe walked out, and he slowly greeted him.
Of course, it was not Chen Mofei who greeted him, but the beautiful woman.
"The honorable lady has come thousands of miles to the small temple, which really makes the small temple flourish! I am a god in the temple, and I have seen my wife. ”
The disciple bowed slightly and bowed to the lady, and Chen Mofei looked at the three of them differently from the side, thinking to himself, can't these three people see me?
The beautiful woman hurriedly replied respectfully: "It's the first time I've seen this kind of temple, so come in and take a look, I don't know which god your temple worships?"
The disciple shook his head slightly, he bowed to the statue of God, and said to the beautiful woman: "This is not some god, but a real god, the only god in this heaven and earth, the supreme God of Creation! Madame, what you can see with your eyes, what you can hear with your ears, what you can touch with your hands, and what you can feel with your heart are all created by the God of Creation." ”
The beautiful woman, apparently hearing of this for the first time, asked in disbelief: "Dare to ask the divine messenger, if I pray to the creator god with all my heart, will the creator hear my words and grant my wish?"
The disciple said in a peaceful tone, "Then it depends on the fate of the lady and the gods." ”
The maid kept looking around when the two were talking just now, with a strong look of suspicion, at this time he put his head to the beautiful woman's ear and whispered: "Madam, I think this temple is weird, you see this person is wearing a big robe and pretending to be a ghost, and he said that other immortals are deceitful, I think he is a liar, Madame, be careful, don't be deceived by demons." ”
The beautiful woman hurriedly stopped the maid from continuing, only to see her slowly walk to the statue, kneel down gently, and say to the statue with great reverence: "Since I entered the palace at the age of eighteen, it has been eight years now, and in the past eight years, I have searched all over the major famous mountain temples, offering countless incense, just to get a son, but ..........."
The beautiful woman was a little choked up when she said this, Chen Mofei listened to it and gradually became addicted to it, forgetting how absurd all this was, he just sighed at the moment that a woman spent money and energy in order to be able to have children, which is really not easy.
The beautiful woman paused for a while and continued: "Those people say well, as long as you sincerely petition, you can get the blessing of the gods, in the final analysis, let me offer incense, but I also offer incense, I also kowtow, I also sued, in order to be able to have children, even the emperor thinks I am crazy, is my heart not sincere enough? Am I not worthy of having a child of my own in my life?"
The beautiful woman burst into tears at the end, except for the god who couldn't see his face, the maid and Chen Mofei on the side all felt a strong sadness, and tears flashed in their eyes.
"Now, in fact, I was going to give up, but this time I passed by here and saw this temple, and I always felt that this was the last test that God had given me, and this time it would be effective! I felt that a voice was calling me in my head, and this time I would definitely be able to ask for an heir!" After saying this, the beautiful woman kowtowed heavily to the ground, and she shouted hoarsely: "I am willing to pay all the price, only for God to give me an heir! I really want to be a mother once, even if it is only for a day, and beg God for the blessing!"
"Boom!"
As the words fell, a deafening thunder exploded out of thin air outside the temple.
Chen Mofei woke up in response and came back to his senses, everything in front of him was still a desolate color.
"It's a hallucination..... It's so real......"
Looking around in confusion, Chen Mofei touched his cheek, he looked at his fingertips in disbelief, this incomparably real heartache and tears, what is going on? Hallucination?
"Mo Fei, why are you still here, the team is about to leave, follow up!"
was confused, a girl came over, her name is Fei'er, she is Chen Mofei's good friend, has common interests and hobbies, so often meet to climb the mountain together.
"Huh, why are you crying, what's going on?"
Fei'er looked at Chen Mofei's moist cheeks and asked suspiciously.
"Uh...... Not... It's nothing, the snow is drifting into the eyes, let's go, let's go out. ”
Chen Mofei quickly wiped his face and walked out with Fei'er.
As soon as he walked out of the door of the temple, Chen Mofei suddenly felt as if someone was staring at him behind him, and when he looked back, it was empty.
Maybe he was thinking too much, Chen Mofei shook his head and followed the team towards the top of the higher mountain.
But he didn't realize that behind him, at the door of the temple, it was the god disciple who was there, and the invisible eyes under the black robe were watching Chen Mofei.
