Chapter 292: Luo Zu's Secret Faith
The road down the mountain seems to be very easy to walk, and everyone no longer struggles, but they feel that the previous hard work is about to pay off, not only the mood is starting to improve, but even the feet are really starting to have energy.
When Jian Answer City really appeared in front of them, they slowed down instead, for fear that the ink stone compass would sense their arrival and quietly disappear.
The city did not even have walls, nor did it have sentry posts, so there were probably too few outsiders to set foot here.
When they stepped into the city, everyone looked at them in amazement, as if they knew they were talking outside.
There are those who are bold and curious, and they have to come forward to talk a few words.
The first one to come forward was an old woman, "Oh, how did you young men climb over that big mountain?" It's amazing. ”
Feng Yunming had nothing to say for the time being, so he responded: "Old woman, Dapan Mountain is also a mountain, so it can naturally be crossed."
Your short-answer city is still the same. ”
"Oh, young man, you've been here, I just look at you a little familiar, but you don't seem to be the right age.
Maybe I'm confused, we simply answer that no one comes to the city on weekdays, and once outsiders come, it will naturally be a big event.
What happened five years ago has not subsided yet. ”
Feng Yunming saw the old grandmother mention the old things five years ago, and his heart trembled.
"Why, hasn't the Luozu statue been found yet?"
The old woman heard Feng Yunming raise the statue of Luo Ancestor, and exclaimed, "Hou Sheng, haven't you really been here."
I thought you were being polite to me, but you really have been here.
I remembered......"
The old woman looked at Feng Yunming's face seriously, "Where do I still have such a handsome offspring, you are the beautiful half-eldest son back then."
Look at my brain, how can I forget, people will grow up. ”
Feng Yunming's face brightened and darkened, darkened and brightened, I don't know what he thought in his heart, it looked so weird.
"Old Grandma, if you are fine, take us to the ink stone compass in the square."
The old woman nodded, "My old woman is one, where can there be anything, so I'll take you there." ”
As he walked through the narrow alleys, Ruoshui felt as if there was no end to the slender alleys, and the houses on both sides were pressed down like that.
"Old Grandma, why is this city so narrow, when you look at it on the mountain, it is obvious that the streets are very distinct.
And it doesn't look like there are many people. ”
Ruoshui was puzzled several times, thought about it again and again, and finally asked the worry in his heart.
The old woman sighed, "This girl doesn't know, we simply answer that the city looks open from the outside, but we people dare not walk on that street.
If they are seen, they will be arrested.
You're going to the center of the square in a while, and you're happy, because no one dares to go there on weekdays anyway.
It was only during the assembly, when the men in black were preaching, that we could gather around and listen. ”
Feng Yunming seemed to be able to hear his heartbeat, and his breathing for no reason sped up a lot, "Those people in black are still here?" ”
"Yes, they have been here, after you left, they came once a month, and we didn't dare to look for the statue of Luozu, I don't know where they hid it.
Hey, if you hadn't come here, we wouldn't have known that Luozu was the god of the sea, and I really don't know why they couldn't get along with Luozu. ”
Feng Yunming shook his head helplessly, "Get up, it's all my fault, I brought them in." ”
The old woman saw Feng Yunming's sad face, and hurriedly waved her hand, "What does this have to do with you, obviously they were already here before you came."
Now that swarthy guy in the square, what do you call a graphite compass, and I don't know what it's for.
Those men in black let us go to the center of the square every month to worship, and I don't know what that thing is for. ”
Feng Yunming pulled the old woman's sleeve, "Old grandma, you have suffered.
I'll help you get the statue of Luozu back. ”
The old woman smiled bitterly, "It's not that they have to hide it when they find it, we people here are used to it, anyway, everyone has Luozu and her old man in their hearts." ”
Ruoshui is no stranger to Luozu's beliefs, but she didn't expect that in a remote city like Damati, there would also be Luozu beliefs.
Moreover, the city is not near the sea, and there is no inland river leading to it, but why do the local people believe in Luozu?
"Old Grandma, you don't have anyone here to make a living on the water, how can you worship Luozu? We all make a living on the water, so we will worship Luozu.
Just like my hometown, which is by the sea, many people go to the sea every year to eat the bowl of rice from the sea, so naturally they want to add incense to Luozu every year and worship at four o'clock. ”
"Oh, where did this girl come from, she even knows Luozu, we always thought that only Jianda City secretly worshipped her."
The old woman looked up and down, "The girl is not a local, you don't look like us Damatis." There is a feeling of not coming out. ”
She shook her head.
"No, I can't take you there, if this girl is an outsider, I don't know how much disaster it will bring to our city of Jianda."
Then the old woman suddenly left them, and saw her take two quick steps, hide in an alley that was cut diagonally into the side, and disappear.
When they caught up with the alley, they couldn't see anything, and the alley was a little further on, and there were three intersections, so that it was completely unknown where she had gone.
"When this old woman appeared, she probably already recognized you, Yun Ming."
Feng Yunming thought about it, and it seemed that this was the case.
"If you don't pay attention, you will be fooled, this old woman, I am afraid that she deliberately led us to Ci."
Feng Yunming stomped his feet, feeling very embarrassed to be fooled.
"Actually, I should have told you about the last time I was in Jianji City, but I can't take care of it now.
Let's find a way to get out of here.
If the enemy comes again at this time, we really have no power to fight back in this narrow alley. ”
Bai Heng nodded, looked around, and indeed felt more and more weird, when he first entered the narrow alley, he still didn't meet passers-by, but people with open doors.
Now, however, there is not a single person in sight.
The doors of the houses facing the street were also closed, as if they had already prepared to thank the guests.
At this time, Wakamizu began to hear footsteps in the distance.
The voice was still faint, probably far away, but her ears were so precise that she thought it was a group of people rushing towards them.
She stopped talking, but gestured to everyone with her eyes.
The air around them began to become heavy, and everyone felt the pressure like never before.
