Chapter 419: Dragon God
The Temple of the Dragon was not as imposing and beautiful as Arthur had imagined. On the contrary, the whole building is already a little dilapidated because of the age.
The temple was the size of a room, with a thick white jade pillar in the center running from the bottom to the roof. It didn't match the style of this dilapidated house, the white jade pillar was wiped spotlessly, and no dust even fell from the place where people at the top couldn't reach. A delicate huge white dragon carved from white jade coiled on the stone pillar, the huge dragon's head poked out slightly, and two slender whiskers floated in the air as if they were real, one of which had been broken. Despite this, the statue is still very realistic.
The dragon had a stone bead in its mouth, which was also wiped clean.
This is the dragon temple that those people built for the dragon king at the beginning.
Different from what Ji Yue imagined, although the small temple in front of him looks very dilapidated now, it is definitely not a handiwork that ordinary people can come up with.
The eyes on the dragon's head were two hollows that were concave, and if she was not mistaken, it should have been two gems or jade inlays.
Sure enough.
The old man was supported by Ji Yue and her grandson left and right, and raised her legs and stepped over the steps at the entrance of the temple. She looked up at the dragon pillar with a wistful face, and sighed faintly.
Seeing that Ji Yue's gaze stopped at the position of the dragon's eyes, the old lady said with great regret: "When I was a child, I heard my grandfather say that this dragon god originally had a pair of white jewel-like eyes, and this statue was also inlaid with fine white jade as eyeballs, but it was dug up by the invaders during the war. ”
He folded his hands and closed his eyes in prayer, and the old man's expression was very reverent.
Ji Yue looked at the statue of the dragon god quietly, her eyes slightly wandering.
"Is this statue carved in the original appearance of the dragon god?" She asked softly.
"Nature is not completely consistent... Not many people have seen the dragon god as it was. The old man's voice was slightly hoarse, "It is the first generation of our Gong family's housewife, she is the only one who has seen the true face of the dragon god, and this statue is carved according to the painting she painted." ”
There was a little pride in the old man's tone.
"The first thing recorded in the family history of our family is that the dragon god saved the master mother who fell into the water, so it is said that without the dragon god, there would be no Gong family."
"The master mother drew the appearance of the dragon god with her impression, and then invited the best craftsmen to carve it into the current finished product."
"The dragon god is really spiritual, hundreds of years, this temple has been broken, but this statue is still so realistic."
The old man's hands gently caressed the dragon's body, and under the old wrinkled palm, the patterns on each dragon scale were extremely exquisite.
The statue is carved with a practical mind.
Arthur took two steps forward and looked closer to the statue. He raised an eyebrow, a little surprise on his face.
The appearance of this dragon scale is exactly the same as the one that Ji Yue made with her spiritual power, no wonder the old lady believed Ji Yue's words at the first time.
If it weren't for the fact that everyone was here for the first time, he even thought that the dragon scales had been prepared by Ji Yue after studying this statue in advance.
"Old man, what you mean just now, is someone coveting your pendant?" Ji Yue looked at the statue for a while, then suddenly turned her head to look at the old man and asked.
The old man was stunned for a moment when he heard this question, then shook his head lightly and said: "This village has not been to outsiders for many years, and no one believes in the dragon god's affairs except for those in the original village, and the pendant worn by an old woman of mine will not attract the attention of others." It's just that when my grandfather handed this pendant to me, he had told me very seriously that it should never fall into the hands of bad people, so I was so vigilant. ”
"What about Yao Gang?" Feng Jize, who had been silent for a long time and had almost lost his sense of presence in the old lady's eyes, suddenly opened his mouth, and he once again said the name that the old lady had avoided before.
Hearing Feng Jize's words, the old lady really frowned again. It's just that because she learned about the relationship between the Feng family and the dragon god, she didn't have the kind of vigilance she had before.
"Did you find anything? Something to do with Yao Gang? ”
The old lady didn't hide it anymore, she patted the iron egg playing with Huzi on the side, and the latter ran to the back of the desk next to the dragon pillar very obediently and took out a few futons.
"Sit down and talk boys, in front of the dragon god." She was the first to walk to the side of a futon and sat directly on the ground.
The three of Ji Yue also sat down.
"Old man, since your family history records the dragon god, do you mention a villager who received the favor of the dragon and later repaid the favor to help it break free from its shackles and enter the sea to turn into a dragon?" Ji Yue didn't directly mention Yao Gang, but asked another question first.
"What villager?" The old lady's eyes suddenly widened when she heard Ji Yue's words, and her face was full of doubts, and she said: "The dragon god is very angry about the actions of the people, but it is kind by nature, it did not hurt anyone, and it sacrificed its dragon ball to break through the spell set by humans. What is the matter with the villagers? ”
Arthur's smile deepened when he heard this, and he glanced at Ji Yue, only to find that she was still expressionless and calm.
The same is true of Feng Jize, who was sitting next to him.
Phew, this Feng family brother and sister is really boring, every day I know that pretending to be unfathomable!
Arthur complained in his heart, and he really wanted to tell this old man about the version he had repaired before. But he also knew that even if he said it, the old man would only think that he was making it up, so he suppressed the idea.
The descendants of the Ryujin priests don't know the truth about Ryujin's rescue?
So is it a lie or is the Gong family's family history wrong?
Arthur already had a very complex and cumbersome conspiracy theory in his mind, and he was immersed in the plot of his own brain, and he had a feeling of amusing himself.
The Feng brothers and sisters ignored him.
"Actually, we came this time in addition to wanting to visit the dragon god There is another thing, there is a man named Yao Gang who has disappeared mysteriously, and it is found that he is a lover with your granddaughter Gong Nian, so we also have a purpose this time to ask about Yao Gang." Ji Yue turned back to Yao Gang, this time she looked directly into the eyes of the old man, and said bluntly: "Look at what you mean, you don't seem to want to mention him very much." ”
The old man also looked at Ji Yue fixedly, and nodded after a while.
"I do resentfully resent that kid, he doesn't deserve my granddaughter at all. Xiao Nian once brought him back once, and I didn't have a very good impression of that young man at that time. What, he's missing? ”
