Chapter 190: Smashing the Temple
Dog's head gold? Such a large statue is actually carved with a dog's head of gold with a very high purity, which surprised me, looking at this height of eight or nine feet, I thought it was gilded.
I stared at the clam god in the middle of the statue for a long time, and suddenly, I saw that the eyes of the clam god lady seemed to blink slightly.
"Aquatic? Did she move? I immediately asked the aquatic life on the side.
Shui Sheng was stunned, immediately looked at the statue, and after a long time, shook his head.
"If the clam god Niangniang can really move, she will definitely explain it to the people in the bend." Shui Sheng said, lowering his eyes.
He told me that the reason why their village reveres the mussel god Niangniang is not only because the mussel makes them rich, but also because the mussel god Niangniang is their ancestor.
It is rumored that the Beng God Niangniang fell in love with a mortal, and, together with the mortal, hid in a remote village to reproduce, and the rumored village is actually a stream bend.
"And such rumors? In this case, why do you blame all the blame on Bengshen Niangniang because three people died in the village? "I'm a little confused.
Hundreds of years of belief cannot collapse in an instant.
"It's not just because of the three lives that died, but because many people in the village, including my father, had nightmares." Shui Sheng said, and without waiting for me to ask again, he told me the content of that nightmare.
The content is that the Bengshen Niangniang is dissatisfied with the worship in the village, and wants to take revenge on the people in the bend, and wants to kill the whole village to vent her anger.
Moreover, this dream has been done for more than a month, and I have such nightmares every night.
"Have you ever dreamed of it?" I asked Aquatic.
Shui Sheng shook his head: "I have never dreamed of it, I think there must be something strange in it." ”
I also nodded, but now I don't know where Jiangyan is, and I can't find the body, so it's difficult.
"Ringing ringing, ringing ringing!"
Shui Sheng and I were talking, and suddenly, from outside the main entrance of the mussel temple, there was a very crisp sound of bells.
"Didn't you say that you would only smash the clam idol tonight? How now? I looked at the aquatic life suspiciously.
Shui Sheng also looked dazed, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I'll take a look." ”
So saying, he walked swiftly in the direction of the main gate, and when he reached the back of the main gate, he looked into the gap for a long time, and then quickly turned around.
"Oh no, the ritual has already begun!" Shui Sheng frowned, dazed and at a loss.
"With the two of us, we can't stop them." I pursed my lips and said.
When Shui Sheng heard what I said, his eyes instantly turned red, and he knelt down on the ground and said, "Please forgive everyone, no matter what, please don't be angry!" ”
"Bang bang bang!"
After Shui Sheng finished speaking, he kowtowed vigorously to the ground.
"Wow!" Suddenly, the main entrance of the temple was opened, and the patriarch and the people in the bend came in with pickaxes and hammers in their hands, ready to smash the temple.
As a result, as soon as I opened the door, I was taken aback to see that both Shui Sheng and I were here, and then the village chief asked the two of us to be dragged out.
The aquatic life knelt on the ground and pleaded continuously, but the patriarch was unmoved.
"Dad, have you forgotten that I almost drowned in the river when I was eight years old, but I floated ashore inexplicably, and you said that it was the Beng God Niangniang who saved me." The reverence of the aquatic god Niangniang was originally because of the grace of saving lives.
The patriarch's face sank: "Those may just be coincidences, after all, none of us have ever seen her save you." ”
After all, the patriarch dragged the aquatic life with his own hands, and some people came to drag me, but the ones who did it were all elderly, and I couldn't resist hurting people, so I was pushed out of the temple all the way.
Outside the temple, there is a large offering table, Jiang Mian and his junior sister, one holding a peachwood sword in one hand, and the other holding a copper bell.
There were also some young people in the village, who were watching the two of them.
The younger generation in this village was skeptical of the rumors of the clam god Niangniang, but now they feel a little pity when they see that this temple is going to be demolished.
"Boom, boom!"
Inside the temple, there was the sound of smashing the stone wall, and the sound was very loud, Jiang Mian motioned to his junior sister to stop first, and he was alone wielding the peachwood sword.
Wang Tong turned around and saw me in the crowd, so he smiled faintly: "Haven't you left yet?" ”
"You didn't investigate anything clearly, but you let people forcibly demolish the Bengshen Temple here, you are not responsible for the life and death of these people." I looked at her and said in a deep voice.
When Wang Tong heard this, he immediately raised his hand, pointed to the statue of the clam god Niangniang in the temple and said: "If the real clam can transform into a human, it is also a clam spirit and a demon!" Demolishing its temple is to get rid of demons and save people. ”
I looked at Wang Tongxi, she was indeed a disciple educated by the Demon Slayer Pavilion, and she had a strong grudge against the demon.
She should be like Gu Shaoting and the others, she thinks that all demons are evil.
"What? Stopped talking? Nothing to say? I advise you to hurry up, if the mussel does come out in a while, it is hard to guarantee that you will not be scared of the fart. After Wang Tong finished speaking, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
I didn't bother to talk to her anymore, I just stared at the temple that had been demolished little by little.
From the conversations of the people around me, I also knew why the temple was demolished in the daytime.
This is for the sake of smashing the idol tonight, and they will demolish the temple that protects the idol first, so that the ritual of smashing the idol tonight will be completed.
Shui Sheng's brows were furrowed, but he was helpless, he had tried to persuade him several times, but to no avail.
We could only watch as they quickly smashed the walls of the temple to pieces, and even the roof of the temple collapsed.
And after smashing these, the sky has already become dark.
As soon as the night fell, Jiang Mian, who had been doing the law for a day, was exhausted, so Wang Tong was sorry to be on top.
Wang Tong waved the peachwood sword, but he recited several wrong spells to ward off evil spirits, and Jiang Mian naturally found out, and coughed several times in a row.
However, Wang Tong seemed to think that no one in the crowd should be able to hear the mistakes, and still pretended.
I looked at Wang Tongxi and thought in my heart, it is really strange that the Demon Slayer Pavilion will send two newcomers to issue the Demon Slayer Order together, aren't they afraid that these two new disciples will not be in a good place when they come out of the school?
Just thinking about it, the patriarch walked out of the "ruins" out of breath and asked Jiang Mian when he would smash the idol.
"That's the "Demon Statue". Jiang Mian also specially corrected a sentence.
The patriarch nodded again and again: "Yes, when will you smash the "demon statue". ”
"Two more hours." After saying that, he took out a large pile of rune paper and began to sprinkle it in front of the offering table.
When a layman looks at it, he will probably feel that he looks good, but I found that Jiang Mian's spell should not be enough, although he can memorize the spell well, but the talisman is barely drawn.
