Chapter 12: The Mysterious Goddess

In Zhang Xiaohu's imagination, Donglu Village is a small village, with more than a dozen wooden houses and dozens of villagers still staying in the era of slash-and-burn farming.

But when he saw Donglu Village, the whole person was shocked, it was a huge city, with stacked buildings and wide roads. On both sides of the road, there is a long pole seven or eight meters high every few meters, and there are hooks on the long poles, but the hooks are now empty, but it is not difficult to guess that they were used to hang lanterns and other lighting utensils at night.

Lan Feng drove the carriage to the center of the city and stopped, where there was a magnificent four-story building with beautiful murals painted on the faΓ§ade. He put Zhang Xiaohu and the three of them down from the carriage, and immediately walked out of the building two girls in white robes, slender and small, beautiful and elegant in appearance, and a calm and gentle temperament.

The two girls smiled at Zhang Xiaohu, and they were really "smiling and beautiful!" He was stunned for a moment.

"Lao Zhang, what a god! I haven't seen the girl! Zhao Zixuan quipped on the side.

Li Yichen on the side also laughed.

When Zhang Xiaohu was so embarrassed, he blushed for a while. He followed the girl into the building with his head bowed, and was confronted by a stone statue depicting a mysterious woman in a robe and a mask, with a sword in her left hand facing the sky, and a strangely shaped object in her right hand, stepping barefoot on the rock. A heroic aura came to the face, and it was amazing.

Zhao Zixuan saw it and exclaimed: "Lao Zhang, you see that the one you are holding in your right hand does not look like your meteor hammer." ”

Zhang Xiaohu carefully identified it and found that it was really a little similar. He secretly said in his heart, why did the author of this statue engrave such a strange thing, which completely affected the ornamentation of the entire stone sculpture.

One of the girls introduced, "Two Holy Sons, this is our Divine Mother! It depicts her driving away the darkness and bringing the light back to the earth. ”

"Huh!" Zhao Zixuan was surprised: "This sister! Why don't you talk like Uncle Lan?"

The girl smiled and said, "We are the personnel inside the temple, we are the maids who serve the goddess, and we speak the language inside our temple, Lan Feng and they are just villagers, so they can't use this language." ”

"Sister, what's your name?" Zhao Zixuan smiled: "I have a friend who asked me to ask!"

"Lao Zhao! Don't make a fuss!" Zhang Xiaohu shouted awkwardly on the side.

The girl smiled and introduced, "My name is Han Xiaoyi!" Her name is Xie Zixi! ”

Han Xiaoyi had just finished the introduction, Li Yichen suddenly covered his mouth, pulled Zhang Xiaohu's arm and shook it violently, and said, "Senior, how could it be!" How could they be called that! ”

Zhang Xiaohu didn't understand why Li Yichen had such a big reaction, and asked, "Yichen, are you okay?" He also felt that the name sounded familiar.

"Senior, these two names are the same as my classmates, how can I not be surprised!" Li Yichen blushed and looked at Zhang Xiaohu.

Han Xiaoyi looked at Li Yichen and asked, "This girl, could it be that your classmate's name was also given by Lord Shenpo?" ”

Li Yichen shook her head, she didn't know what a goddess was. Although this matter was a little puzzling, she didn't plan to delve into it.

Zhang Xiaohu also felt that it was a little strange to encounter such a coincidental thing here, but there were too many incredible things along the way, and he was quickly relieved. Follow Han Xiaoyi and Xie Zixi to the back of the temple.

Past the stone statue, there is a spacious Ming Hall, in which more than a dozen rows of seats are placed, a maroon table is placed at the end, on which is burned with a lantern, and a faint smell of vanilla wafts in the air.

After passing the Ming Hall, there is a spiraling staircase that leads to the upper three floors. Han Xiaoyi said with a smile: "The two Holy Sons and your friends are staying here for a while now, and when the Great Replacement is over, Lord Divine Lady will come from the Holy Land to meet the two of you." ”

"The goddess will meet us, do you say the woman on the statue at the door?" Zhao Zixuan asked when he heard this.

Han Xiaoyi's face sank, and she replied lightly: "This Holy Son, please pay attention to your words, Lord Divine Mother is omnipotent, how can you say that she is a woman!" "It seems that Zhao Zixuan didn't choose what to say, and accidentally offended the maid of this temple.

Zhao Zixuan said in his heart, it seems that his status as a cheap saint is far worse than that of this goddess. Zhang Xiaohu leaned in his ear and whispered: "You deserve it, let you not talk nonsense!" ”

Soon, the three of them went up to the second floor and were sent to their respective bedrooms, Zhang Xiaohu found that the bedroom had prepared a large wooden bucket in advance, which had prepared hot water in advance, he took off his dirty clothes, and jumped into the bucket at once, comfortably feeling the moisture of the hot water. There are also some relaxing things like licorice and flower petals in the water. The fatigue of the days was swept away, and he fell asleep in the barrel. When he got up again, he found himself wearing cotton underwear and had been placed on the bed. He looked out the window at the bright sunshine, and he didn't know how long he had slept and how he had come to bed.

Soon, the door was opened, and a girl in a white robe walked in slowly, put down a whole set of white robes beside the bed, glanced at Zhang Xiaohu, smiled slightly at the red, and gently withdrew.

Zhang Xiaohu suddenly felt shy, wouldn't it be such a girl who moved herself from the bathtub to the bed just now, it would be embarrassing to death, wouldn't she have been looked at. I also changed my clothes, oh my! Shame on you! Why didn't I react at all!

Zhang Xiaohu put on a white robe and felt that the cut fit quite well. He walked out of the room and came to the cloister, where he happened to meet a maid, and he hurriedly asked, "This sister, which room are my two companions in?" ”

The maid said that Zhao Zixuan and Li Yichen had not yet gotten up and were still asleep in the room. Zhang Xiaohu decided to walk around the temple by himself, and he wanted to go to the third floor first.

One to the third floor, the facing wall is full of a lot of calligraphy works, all of which are written in Chinese characters, the pen is natural and interesting, the rhyme is vivid, revealing a beautiful atmosphere, it should be written by a woman, and the content on it is some classic Tang poems and Song words.

"What do you see, Holy Son?" Suddenly, a female voice came from behind Zhang Xiaohu.

Zhang Xiaohu turned around and found that it was the maid Xie Zixi from before, he pointed to these calligraphy and paintings, and said in surprise: "These... Who wrote these? ”

Xie Zixi replied: "Of course it's the goddess!" After hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu was eager to meet this mysterious goddess, and he deduced that this goddess was very likely to have crossed over from the world he was in. If you can meet the goddess herself, you may be able to ask a lot of questions. I just don't know when this goddess will summon herself. What's more, his identity as the Holy Son is too vague, and what prophecies and the like sound so vague, this must be understood.

"Sister Xie!" In addition to these calligraphy and paintings on the third floor, is there anything else to see inside? Zhang Xiaohu asked.

Xie Zixi introduced that the original third floor was the center of the entire temple, which contained six major halls: library, archives, artifacts, humanities, meteorology, and divination, as well as a secret room, which no one was allowed to enter.

As for the fourth floor, it is the residence of the goddess, and no one is allowed to enter it except for the two personal maids of the goddess. Hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu had no choice but to dispel the idea of going to the fourth floor, and he visited the third floor one by one, each of which was very large, and there were many precious and rare things stored in it. Of course, he can only visit, but he can't touch the contents inside. Because Xie Zixi emphasized with him that all the things in it must be ordered and approved by the goddess before they can be touched.

Zhang Xiaohu secretly smacked his tongue in his heart, he couldn't imagine that the rights of this goddess were so big.
