Chapter 189: The Temple of the Beng
When the patriarchs heard footsteps, they all glanced in our direction.
Seeing Shui Sheng carrying Chai Shao on his back, the patriarch couldn't help but snort coldly.
"I let you go back a long time ago, this matter is not something you can interfere with, don't ask for money or die!" The patriarch saw that Chai Shao was in a coma, and he still needed to carry it on his back, and he even decided that the two of us were here to cheat and deceive.
"Dad, I'll let him stay in our guest room." Chai Shao was big, and he had a hard time carrying it, so he carried Chai Shao on his back without waiting for the patriarch's consent.
I was about to follow, but I was stopped by the young man at the table.
"You're demon hunters too?" The young man of about sixteen or seventeen spoke, with a slight suspicion in his tone, and his eyes were looking at my baggage.
I had a money sword stuck in my baggage, but fortunately, I knew that there was a demon slayer in the morning, so I collected the demon whip and the Jin Ling pestle into the baggage and wrapped it.
"Yes." I nodded.
"Hmph, can you see a thing or two?" The little girl sitting next to the boy was even more childish, maybe a little younger than the boy, and her tone of voice was a little arrogant.
"There are water demons in this river, and they are the water demons." I said it truthfully.
The little girl burst out laughing, and the smile was full of sarcasm, and she probably thought I was talking nonsense.
"We have found out that the monster is the clam spirit, wait for tonight, we will do it, and then smash the statue of the clam spirit, so that the clam spirit will have no way to harm people anymore." The young man said on the side: "My name is Jiang Mian, this is my junior sister Wang Tongxi, we are all from the Jingzhong Demon Slayer Pavilion, if you are a demon hunter, you should have heard of the Jingzhong Demon Slayer Pavilion." ”
Jiang Mian was a little arrogant when he spoke, he felt that the Jingzhong Demon Slayer Pavilion was superior, and rats like me should also obediently withdraw when they saw them.
I, on the other hand, did not respond to him, but looked directly at the patriarch and asked him where Jiangyan was.
As soon as the patriarch heard the word "Jiangyan", he instantly glared angrily and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Qingke's bodies are in the river, we must find them back quickly and bury them well." As soon as I finished speaking, the patriarch seemed to be irritated by my words, and stood up directly, dragged me, and told me to get out.
"People have already settled in the ground, and you are still full of nonsense, get out! Get out! He was furious.
Qingke said that only the patriarch knows where Jiangyan is, presumably it is a secret that no one in this village can ask, and I, an outsider, suddenly asked such a question so unexpectedly, and it is reasonable to provoke him.
"I didn't lie, it was Qingke who said it, she told me that her body is at Jiangyan, if you don't believe it, you open the coffin and see if their bodies are still in the grave." I think this is the most straightforward way to prove that I'm not lying.
However, when the patriarch heard this, he snorted fiercely.
"Digging people's graves, you think about it, you are trying to damage my yin virtue." After the patriarch finished speaking, the force in his hand increased a little.
So, Shui Sheng settled down and Chai Shao came out, and hurriedly came over to stop the patriarch.
"Shui Sheng, she wants to inquire about Jiang Yan, she must have other purposes." The patriarch pointed at me and said.
"Dad, this girl also wants to help us, she is a demon hunter, and she can also summon spirits." Shui Sheng originally wanted to tell the patriarch about the ghost of Qingke that I had summoned, but the patriarch didn't want to hear it, so he waved his hand and signaled Shui Sheng to hurry up and drive me and Chai Shao away, they were going to smash the clam spirit statue tonight and not make a mess.
"Dad, the clam god has blessed us for hundreds of years, she?" Before Shui Sheng's words were finished, the patriarch sighed and said to Jiang Mian and Wang Tongxi behind us: "Two, come with me to see the altar we have prepared. ”
"Good!" The two of them stood up and passed us.
I looked at the three of them and shook my head.
"Girl, what can I do?" Shui Sheng was a little anxious.
"Take me to the temple of the god Beng, too." I wonder if there is a clam god.
Shui Sheng hesitated for a moment, because now that the place had been sealed, and the altar was in front of the Beng Temple, Shui Sheng was a little worried that we would be discovered.
After thinking about it for a long time, he decided to take me and enter through the side door of the Bengshen Temple.
The side gate was originally used to burn paper to invest money in the temple after praying to the gods, but now they are going to demolish the Bengshen Temple, and no one has gone to that place at all.
"Chai Shaona?" I'm a little worried about Chai Shao again.
"I'll let my sister take care of him there, don't worry." He said to me as he took me out of the house.
"You still have a sister?" In this house, I only saw Shui Sheng and his father.
"Well, the girl who didn't come out of the pavilion in our bend can't run around at will, my sister is the daughter of the patriarch, and my father naturally has to be stricter." Shui Sheng explained, and had already led me out of the house.
However, for fear of being discovered, we went to the Bengshen Temple, and the aquatic life was completely circulating, originally he said that he didn't need to use two teas, but we were stunned for nearly half an hour.
When I got to the side of the mussel temple, I saw a big tripod, which was full of ashes and had many incense sticks in it.
In addition, there are two rows of shelves next to Dading, on which are many red candles that have burned most of them.
From these things, it can be seen that before, the incense here was indeed very prosperous.
It's just that now there are seals on this side door, which can't help but make me a little embarrassed.
Shui Sheng carefully tore off the seal, rolled it up and put it in his pocket, probably thinking that he would put it on again after going out for a while, so as not to be discovered.
There was a "squeak", and the aquatic life finally reached out and pushed the side door open, and after this side door was pushed open, I saw a very magnificent temple, ten times larger than an ordinary house.
In addition, the ground is paved with smooth stones, and the surrounding stone walls are carved with scriptures for blessings.
Shui Sheng led me to the cushion in the middle of the temple, folded his hands, knelt down, and began to prostrate.
I looked up and saw a huge stone platform with a large golden statue of eight or nine feet on it.
The statue is carved with a standing mussel shell that opens to the left and right, and in the middle of the mussel shell stands a woman of extremely beautiful appearance.
The woman's eyes were closed, and she was holding a large white pearl in her hand, with an indescribable fairy aura.
"She's the mother of the clam god?" I looked at the golden statue that shocked me a little and asked the water.
Shui Sheng nodded: "That's right, this is the mussel god Niangniang, this statue is carved after fusing a lot of dog's head gold together, representing the most sincere worship in our bend." ”
Shui Sheng looked at the mussel god Niangniang with a look of admiration.
