Chapter Twenty-Six: The Temple of the Goddess
In a small tea shed next to the woods, a few people were drinking tea and chatting, and a tall and thin young man at the next table lowered his voice a little, but everyone else at the table listened attentively.
Scarlet Yi stretched out one ear curiously, only to hear the man: "That's what you don't know, the temple of the goddess is really effective! ”
"What kind of spiritual method? Tell me about it......"
"yes, yes......"
"Well, I'll tell you...... I have been married to my own lady for more than three years, her stomach has not moved at all, and she has taken a lot of medicine to regulate it without any use, but that day I heard the tile of the next village say that his aunt's relative, Daddy Liu, is sick in bed, and has been unable to move for more than ten years.
"Oh, say it quickly, don't sell it......"
"It's just ......"
"Hehe, that Daddy Liu is seriously ill, and after seeing several doctors, they all said that they were going to prepare for the future, but guess what, his family thought about a dead horse as a live horse doctor! As a result, he carried the person to the temple of the goddess, hey! That person saved him!! The man said Xing's head, and he couldn't help but raise his voice and slapped his thigh.
"It's really fake......"
"Believe it or not......"
"It's just ......"
"Li He, don't you hearsay, is this matter reliable......"
"Why isn't it true, then Daddy Liu, I saw him a few days ago, the spiritual leader has not seen such a good thing for more than ten years!"
Everyone sighed......
"How effective is it?"
"Then what does this Daddy Liu have to do with your mother not being able to conceive a child??"
"Hahaha......"
"Oh, hey, be quiet, don't laugh, what do you know! My lady, can't you conceive a child, I took my lady to the temple of the goddess, you say that the spirit is not spiritual! My mother is now pregnant! It's almost five months! The god also said that it's a boy!"
"Where's that temple?"
"yes, yes......"
Everyone asked impatiently.
At this moment, suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves and jingling bells, and everyone looked and saw the coachman driving a luxurious and graceful carriage slowly.
The body of the carriage is the finest rosewood, hollow carved phoenix, ingenious, gilded wall, with the bump of the carriage, the tassel pendant of the curtain trembles and trembles, and the crisp bell is the color bell of the tassel tied on the side of the curtain.
Everyone stared blankly at the carriage for a long time......
It wasn't until there was a 'snort' that the horse snorted, and the carriage stopped steadily outside the tea shed, and saw the coachman stop the carriage, and immediately took out a stool from behind the carriage, placed it beside the carriage, and stood respectfully aside.
Under the bated gaze of everyone, the curtain was lifted, and a delicate round-faced little girl poked out of it, but she looked very old, and slowly walked in front of everyone.
"Excuse me, do you know where the temple is?"
The tea shed is still silent......
"Excuse me......"
"I don't know, I don't know ......"
Everyone bowed their heads and drank tea.
"Hey, you ......"
Seeing this, Xiao Er of the tea shed hurriedly stepped forward, threw the white towel in his hand on his shoulder, and said, "Hey, please come in the guest officer......
"This little brother, where is the temple of the goddess?" the delicate girl continued to ask, why did she think that the atmosphere of this tea shed was not quite right...... Maybe she's too careful......
"Huh...... Guest, the temple of the goddess is still several miles away from here, you still have to rest in this small shop before you can continue to hurry......" Xiao Er raised a standard welcome smile and said.
"Xi'er......" A beautiful voice came from the carriage, and the girl hurriedly walked to the carriage and listened attentively to the instructions inside.
The curtain was lifted again, and a richly dressed but bloated woman slowly walked out of the carriage, and everyone felt a wave of disappointment......
With the support of the maid, the woman walked to the tea shed, and after the maid carefully wiped the table and chairs with a handkerchief, she slowly sat down.
Xiao Er hurriedly said, "May I ask the guest officer what do you want?"
The woman spoke, her voice as clear as a warbler: "Just serve your best refreshments here." The woman gave the maid standing behind her a look, and the maid took out a certain amount of silver from her sleeve and handed it to Xiao Er.
Xiao Er's eyes lit up, and he quickly took the silver, only to hear the maid say, "May I ask how to go to the temple of the goddess?"
Xiao Er hurriedly raised a big smile, and said with a huff: "The Goddess Temple will go all the way forward, passing by a village, the next village is called Quanshui Village, and the Goddess Temple is in Quanshui Village. ”
"Let's go. Scarlet stood up and said to Rebirth.
"Little Er!Check out!" Scarlet Yi put a piece of silver on the table, picked it up and left.
"Oops...... Girl, I haven't found your money yet......"
A trace of doubt rose in Scarlet Yi's heart, if it is true, if the dead can be saved, what else do you want to do in the underworld? As the saying goes, the king of Hades wants you to die in the third watch, who dares to keep people until the fifth watch, when can the life and death of mortals be controlled by 'outsiders'?
Isn't that going to be messed up?
And this reincarnation is also decided by the magistrate of the prefecture, if the person who has no children asks for it, he can conceive a child, then ......
She wanted to see what this was sacred!
Scarlet and Reborn came to the Quanshui Village in their mouths, and they knew the location of the temple of the goddess by casual inquiry, and the villagers of this village seemed to respect the goddess in their mouth very much......
And the temple of the goddess turned out to be in a barren mountain and wilderness, along the way, full of mud, finally came to the temple, scarlet clothes and rebirth invariably glanced at each other.
"Scarlet, are you sure it's here?"
"How else......"
“......”
Scarlet looked at the temple of the goddess in front of her depressedly, eh, in fact, it was only called a small earthen house, a small earthen house with a total of three small rooms, and the height was ...... Anyway, it's not reborn high!
Didn't the villagers all make offerings to the temple of the goddess......?
The incense was so cold that the door was covered with spider silk......
"Huh, is this the Land Temple?"
Scarlet faintly saw the two earthen statues inside...... The face was blurry, but the clothes were familiar......
"Land Lord, Land Lady?" Scarlet shouted towards the door.
"Are you still there?"
"Land ......"
“......”
Scarlet sighed: "This temple is already empty, rebirth, we seem to have gone wrong." ”
"Who? who is calling me?" At this moment, a hoarse voice came, and a puff of white smoke came from the ground, and the land lord came out of the ground, walked to the scarlet coat and looked up.
The height of the land lord was only half of Scarlet's clothes, and Scarlet clothes also looked down at him, and just as he was about to speak, he heard another voice from the temple gate.
"Ah, old man, are there any pilgrims coming????
While sorting out her clothes, the land woman trotted out, and the height of the land woman was only a head shorter than the scarlet clothes, and the land woman also tilted her head, looking at the scarlet clothes and rebirth, with an excited face.
"I'm sorry, we...... Went to the wrong place. Scarlet said, "Let's go, reborn." ”
"Ah??? what are you, you're in the wrong place, aren't you coming to the Land Temple???" The Land Lady asked a little anxiously.
"We're going to the Temple of the Goddess, do you know how to get there?" Reborn asked, stepping forward.
"What!? you're looking for that goblin too?" shouted in a hoarse voice from the land communal, with a look of anger.
"Hey, forget it......" The land woman glanced into the distance in disappointment, sighed and turned around to walk back to the temple.
"Wait...... What do you mean when you say that the temple is a fairy?" asked Scarlet.
"Heh, that's a dryad, a dryad who has cultivated to a fine level!" said the land lord angrily, and even wiped a handful of old tears......
"Dryad, since you are a goblin, as a land lord and a land woman, why don't you subdue this monster?"
"Girl, don't you know, although the tree demon has been cultivated for hundreds of years, but its growth rate is very amazing, it borrows mortal offerings, absorbs the essence of the same kind, and now it is half a demon............!
It turned out that the tree demon used evil magic, citing some mediums, to confuse mortals, not that it really has such a great ability, listen to the land lord, the land lady said, this tree demon turned out to be a 10,000-year-old pine tree born in the Taoist temple, and now he has cultivated into a refinement, and then ran to this place to fool the villagers.
All things in the world have spirits, whether they are birds, animals, flowers, birds, fish, and insects, they can all become immortals through cultivation.
There are many tribulations in the process of cultivation, and ordinary goblins have to cultivate into a human form first, and then proceed to the next step of cultivating immortals.
And all things in the world rely on the aura of heaven and earth to cultivate, so cultivating aura is the right way, on the contrary, opportunistic and absorbing other energy and cultivating, it is against the way of heaven, no wonder it will become a half-demon body......
As for the goddess temple was originally built hundreds of years ago, it was established by the villagers in order to commemorate a woman in the folk, it is said that the 'goddess' is a doctor of the people, looking like a goddess, excellent medical skills, she traveled here, at that time the plague was spreading here, the corpses were everywhere, miserable, the arrival of the 'goddess' redeemed more than a dozen villages within a radius of 100 miles, so after she left, the villagers built a goddess temple for her to worship.
Who knew that now it is occupied by the dryad, as a medium to confuse the villagers and bring disaster to the world.
After speaking, the land woman sighed heavily and looked at the dilapidated land temple behind her.
After hearing this, the land lord was already in tears, and he quickly interjected: "It's really sad, now the land temple of Xiao Lao'er has ended up in today's situation, if it continues like this, I'm afraid that this official uniform will not be guaranteed......"
Scarlet clothes and rebirth invariably glanced at the official uniforms of the land lord and the land wife......
"Forehead ......" Actually, what Scarlet wants to say is that you don't want this ragged clothes......
"Then you can report to Heaven! This is not a trivial matter. Scarlet said.
"No, no, no, if Heavenly Court knows, our official position will really not be kept......" The land woman hurriedly clapped her hands.
"I see, you two are not ordinary people, are you?" said the Father-in-law of the land, looking at Scarlet and Reborn, he had long seen that they were by no means mortals.
"Well, yes, but we're not gods, and we're not ......immortals," Scarlet shrugged.
Suddenly, Scarlet thought of a very serious question, is it not a god or an immortal......? He's not a ghost, he's not a human, then...... The only possibility is ......
Could it be that he is an immortal who committed a crime and was beaten into the underworld? Or is he a demon? Or, is it a demon? Yes, it must be! The one who can be sealed with the divine decree will definitely not be a little fairy and a little demon, why didn't she think that she was reborn as a demon?
Scarlet Yi was frightened by the thoughts in her heart, she secretly glanced at Rebirth, and saw that he was also looking at herself, so she quickly withdrew her gaze, but her heart was fluttering with a weak heart......
"And who are you?" asked the father-in-law.
"There is no need to tell you who we are, rebirth, let's go. Scarlet frowned, left a sentence, and left with a new birth.
The land lord and the land lady glanced at each other, inexplicable......
Scarlet clothes really can't stand it, this pair of land princesses don't think about the villagers at all, they only think about their official position, heh, so, let them keep guarding this small broken earth temple!
"Scarlet, where are we going?" Reborn watched as Scarlet pulled at her clothes, she seemed to like tugging on herself like that...... Reborn smiled helplessly, but there was a warm current in his heart that slowly flowed through his body.
"Scarlet ......"
"Where to go, where to go. ”
"Shall we go to the Temple of the Goddess?"
Scarlet paused at his feet, but shrugged his shoulders and said, "No, let's keep walking ours." "She didn't want to face any demons, that tree spirit was so powerful, she and Reborn really didn't need to meddle with things, and besides, the tree spirit didn't do anything harmful, it just deceived people into making offerings.
It's a big deal, after I go back to the underworld, let Hua worry-free report it......
