Act Seventy-Nine: Strange People
Shinto Temple is located on the north side of the town, surrounded by water on three sides, and a road made of wood. Both sides of the road are covered with lotus flowers that bloom in all seasons, and this symbolic flower of holiness was revered by ancient people. In myths and legends, some shrines are often seated cross-legged on lotus bases.
The weather in late spring is exceptionally warm, and the breeze blows less of the chill in winter, giving people a sense of comfort and freshness.
The entire Shinto courtyard is magnificent, and from the entrance, it looks like a staircase, cascading upwards. As for the highest top floor, there is a golden pagoda that is two people high.
There is a soft halo of colorful light on the outside of the tower, which is even more mysterious with the Shinto Temple. Although that colorful halo was artificial, this did not prevent people from admiring the ancients, who could have such a rich imagination and must have been extremely intelligent at that time.
The ancients were gentle and elegant, so the entrance court of the Shinto temple was very small. Between the few people coming and going, the entrance is particularly crowded. However, it is now the off-season for tourism, and there is not much queue, and the sound warbler walks in.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a statue of the god of Shuofang, the statue of the god of Shuofang is really carved out of a carving knife little by little, and it is a precious and rare cultural relic.
"What a burly stone carving, Chen Tu, according to the etiquette of the ancients, do we want to worship?" Yin Ying held the Chen Tu on his shoulder in his hand so that he could see a little more clearly.
Chen Tuha smiled: "The ancients paid attention to their own hearts, and they just had their minds." Let's continue the tour. ”
It takes a long time to see the entire Shinto Temple, and looking at those cookie-cutter stone statues, Otoying's interest slowly decreases, but Chen Tu points out the provenance of these statues one by one with great interest. In classical history classes, these myths and legends are the focus of the examination.
"Let's go to the main courtyard above." Yin Ying said, obviously tired.
In the main courtyard above, there are not as many stone carvings below, because the upper part is where the ancient clergy lived, and in the large courtyard, there is even a pool of clear water, and there are some fish playing happily in the water.
"Hmm~" Yin Ying pursed her mouth, this kind of place is really unattractive.
Chen Tu, who had never been to this kind of place, gradually found that the more cultural atmosphere there was, the more no one came to visit.
"I'm hungry, Chen Tu." Yin Ying sent Chen Tu in his hand to his eyes, and the two big eyes stared at Chen Tu and said.
But Chen Tu found something good, didn't answer Yin Ying's words, and jumped off the ground directly.
"You're waiting for me here." Chen Tudao.
Then, Chen Tu quickly ran to a corner behind the door of the house, and there was a hole behind it, looking at the dry ground around the hole, he knew that this hole had not been inhabited by rats for a long time. Chen Tu roughly measured the width of the hole with his tail, and dodged into it.
The ears of rats are more sensitive than humans, and Chen Tu heard the sound of rats in the cave, which piqued Chen Tu's interest, and he decided to go down and take a look.
Yin Ying, who didn't know what Chen Tu was going to do, saw Chen Tu swish, jumped out of his hand, and then disappeared. couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly followed Chen Tu to the back of the door, only to find that there was only a narrow hole there, obviously, he had already drilled in.
Yin Ying didn't know what Chen Tu was going to do, so she had to wait here dryly.
Chen Tu heard the conversation of the group of rats very strangely, but because it was too far away, he couldn't hear anything.
The cave was very dark, and even Chen Tu, who had night vision, couldn't see too much clearly. Chen Tu followed the voice and moved forward cautiously. I found that the road ahead was a little collapsed, and the soil around the cave was very dry, and it was clear that no rats had come to this hole for a long time.
Eventually, Chen Tu finally figured out that the sound was not in the cave, but from the bottom of the cave. Chen Tu walked to the low-lying part of the rat hole and leaned over to listen. The voice was heard as a conversation between two rats.
"Remember, we've waited another forty years! I don't want to hear the word blunder again! ”
"Please rest assured, Your Holiness, this time we will be able to return to our homeland with this great discovery!"
"Okay, I don't need your commitment, just do your part." The rat, known as the Venerable One, said impatiently.
Hearing this, there was no more sound below, probably gone. After waiting for forty years, it stands to reason that he should be a very old person, but the voice of this rat called Venerable One is very young.
While thinking, Chen Tu walked up and walked out of the cave, without sorting out his head.
"What's wrong with you?" Yin Ying looked at Chen Tu's thoughtful appearance and couldn't help asking.
"Let's go down and have a look."
Chen Tu motioned for Yin Ying to run faster, and if he listened to the sound, the place where those rats were on the second floor of the Shinto Temple, and the sound Ying was on the third floor at this time.
Although Yin Ying was very puzzled, she still ran downstairs to look, but found that except for a few people dressed the same, there were no mice.
Chen Tu also walked on the ground and searched around, but found nothing, he subconsciously looked at the place where five people in the same uniform had just passed, and thought, could it be that these people are talking?
Thinking of this, Chen Tu laughed at himself a little, could it be that these people still speak the language of rats? However, in the next moment, Chen Tu retracted his thoughts, and he felt that it was really possible.
Chen Tu immediately chased after the humans, and when he looked up, he found that there was a figure? Empty.
The Shinto Temple is the tallest building in the surrounding area, and there is no shelter on all sides, am I dazzled?
"Yin Ying, did a few humans pass by just now?" Chen Tu asked uncertainly.
"yes, huh, why is it gone? How, is there anything important? ”
"No, I just think it's weird."
After speaking, Chen Tu couldn't help but glance at the first floor of the Shinto Temple, but those people still didn't appear.
"I'm hungry, let's go." Yin Ying picked him up without Chen Tu's consent, and walked out.
Chen Tu is very helpless to go against the grain, walking on the road Yin Ying carried Chen Tu with his left hand, turned on the projection of WON with his right hand, and chose the restaurant in this Oia town on it, what to eat? Looking at the dazzling array of dishes, Yin Ying couldn't make up her mind for a while.
"Chen Tu, what do you want to eat?" Yin Ying asked.
Hearing Yin Ying's question, Chen Tu turned his head over, but was blocked by Yin Ying's slender fingers, and he couldn't see the WON projection at all.
"Can I say it all?"
Hearing this answer, Yin Ying brought Chen Tu to the front of the projection and introduced him: "The specialty of the town is the fish in Lake Oia, why don't we go and eat grilled fish?" ”
Chen Tu stuck out his tongue and pretended to be dead for a while, then said, "If it is really the fish in Lake Oia, how many of them have been eaten." How many fish can be raised in such a large lake? It's likely that these fish haven't even been in a pool. ”
"And what are we going to eat?" Yin Ying was a little undecided.
"Fish can be eaten even if you haven't been in the pool, and this is a specialty of Oia Town. Otherwise, it's not interesting to eat anything else. ”
Hearing this, Yin Ying had the urge to hold Chen Tu in her hands, but she endured it. Yin Ying shouted Chen Tu.
Chen Tu looked back at Yin Ying, but found that Yin Ying's right finger had been stretched out.
Well, Chen Tu was passively touched on the head again, although this feeling made Chen Tu very unhappy, but he couldn't resist, or couldn't resist at all.
The restaurant is located in a very open area in the south of the town, and as a modern old town, everything in the layout of Oia Town is so rich in commercial atmosphere without losing the cultural atmosphere. The scenery to the south is so pleasant, so the town's restaurants are concentrated here, and in order to increase the beauty, it is the most gorgeous place of ancient buildings.
After eating, Chen Tu was about to rest for a while, but found that he had received several messages from Democr on his WON, including Ape and Andrew, who were obviously asking because they couldn't find Chen Tu.
Chen Tu opened one of them, which was sent by Democr. The email is very formal, with the date and signature of the Administration Office indicated in the upper left corner with "His Excellency Chen Tu, Chief Executive of Bugu District" in the upper left corner. This is an official document that requires Chen Tu's approval, and for such a thing, Democr has never overstepped his authority.
Chen Tu felt that since this kind of document had been approved by Democr, there was no need to approve it again, and he replied directly to approve it. Chen Tu opened another envelope, it turned out to be sent by Nie Jing, Chen Tu didn't expect that this rat, who had not been out of the jungle for a long time, would actually use WON.
"A rat seems to have forgotten what he said." This sentence also has an angry expression behind it. Chen Tu was a little embarrassed, he really forgot what he said to Nie Jing before that.
By the time Chen Tu had finished processing the emails from Bugu one by one, an hour had passed.
Chen Tu was very helpless in his heart, he came from Xinyi Farm, and he sent him so many messages after only one day. When Chen Tu was in Labria, he didn't see any rats emailing him. It must have been that they found out that they had sneaked out of the psychological imbalance, yes, it must be so, Chen Tu complained in his heart.
At this time, Yin Ying was resting in the hotel room, and after dealing with these things, Chen Tu also lay on the sofa and took a nap.
However, sleeping is not something that you can control in a quiet environment, and it was already night when Chen Tu woke up again.
Yin Ying had already gotten up early, and she didn't like to watch soap operas, so she sat next to Chen Tu and was bored around the small sofa where Chen Tu was sleeping, drawing circle by circle with her index finger.
When he woke up and encountered this kind of thing, Chen Tu was really startled. Seeing Yin Ying looking at himself in a daze, Chen Tu yawned and asked in a vague voice, "Where are we going to play tonight?" ”
When it came to playing, Yin Ying became interested and said crisply, "Let's go fishing by the lake." ”
After speaking, Yin Ying did not forget to let Chen Tu watch the pictures of fishing by the lake found on the WON, and watched them excitedly hugging the big fish one by one, thinking about it was a little excited.
