Chapter Ninety-Seven: Five Elements, Eight Works, Three Teachings, and Nine Streams

Fang Yuhao's throat stirred, and he cautiously walked into the City God Temple, clearing the messy cobwebs. A large amount of dust kicked up, making him unconsciously wave the air in front of his nose.

This temple is very small, only about 20 square meters, and there is a big hole in the east beam, which may collapse at any time.

There was a round of moonlight that came through the big hole. Cold, shady.

In the middle of the City God Temple, there is a bleak sculpture, because there has been no sacrifice for a long time, the surface is covered with dust.

"This statue won't be the ...... outside," Shi Dapeng jumped in his heart and said in surprise. He remembered the statue in the real world.

"Don't talk nonsense." Old man Li snorted softly, which frightened Shi Dapeng and quickly closed his mouth.

"Squeak", as soon as the door closed, the bar was inserted, and there was no light in the temple, and it was dark.

Fang Yuhao is a person who is not afraid of the night, but in this world, there is always an inexplicable sense of fright.

After closing the door, it was only a few seconds, and this uncomfortable dullness became more and more intense, and even the breathing was a little unsmooth.

It was as if something was watching him, and he didn't know if it was this sculpture or something outside.

"I'm well prepared, you young people...... Don't prepare anything, spend the night in this kind of place, candles, matches, you must bring. Without light, it's hard to stay up until dawn. Old man Li smiled, took out a candle from his arms, lit it with a "poof", placed it directly in front of the statue, and inserted it upright.

Finally there's a little bit of light.

Under the flickering flames, the sculpture stared blankly ahead, exuding an invisible majesty.

"Don't be nervous, rest well, it's easy to hallucinate if you're too nervous. We have two days to rescue people, my old Li should not be old, it's just a medium-sized world, don't panic ......" Old man Li put down his luggage and hammered his shoulder.

Strangely, the wind blows from time to time, but this little light, like a boat in a storm, has never been blown out.

After all, people are phototaxis creatures, and Fang Yuhao feels as if he is a little more comfortable.

"Passing by here, I beg Lord Chenghuang to take shelter for one night." The three of them bowed in front of the statue.

This time, Fang Yuhao's heart was really full of respect, and he didn't dare to have any death mentality.

The statue remained expressionless.

"I didn't bring any sacrifices, you two went to clean up, and it would be regarded as an apology."

"Cleaning?"

"Of course, cleaning is also a form of etiquette. If you sleep in someone's house, of course you have to repay the favor and clean it. Old man Li said while pillowing his hands in his head.

I was really afraid of something, Fang Yuhao and Shi Dapeng eyebrows and eyebrows for a long time, looking at the statue full of life, and there was a taboo for no reason.

In the end, he could only let Shi Dapeng, who knew a little bit better, wipe the statue, while Fang Yuhao wiped the table, swept the floor, and so on.

Shi Dapeng's body trembled like a big horse monkey, and he always thought in his heart that if this thing came back to life, he would be miserable. Every time he touched the statue, there was a kind of rapid collapse,

"Uncle Li, Lord Chenghuang's face...... Some cracked! He said with a sudden trembling.

"I can't take care of myself so much...... If I were twenty years younger, I would definitely take care ......of it," Uncle Li sighed for a long time: "Just wipe it clean, be respectful." ”

"Why don't you go to that inn?" Fang Yuhao took his sleeve, wiped the stone platform, and wondered.

"Five Elements and Eight Works, Three Teachings and Nine Streams...... Caution must be taken. Who would dare to go to an inn in the wilderness? And hung two red lanterns, in our world, isn't this a brothel? I don't know what the customs of this place are, but I don't think it's a good place to be. ”

"It's still going to be like this." Fang Yuhao's heart was a little hairy.

Old man Li turned over: "The world of idealism is not an ordinary place. I don't know what the connection is with reality, at least the world I have experienced must have a microcosm of reality. ”

"What do you mean? Legends that have been in the real world may become true here; There are common sayings and taboos in the real world, but here they may become true...... It's okay to be careful, maybe you can hit it right and avoid the risk. ”

"So, what kind of spirit ceremony, don't play it in this kind of place. Maybe you'll die the next moment, and even if you can't, it's a little more troublesome. ”

Fang Yuhao wiped the sweat from the tip of his nose and felt the dust on his head.

However, Old Man Li said so, he definitely didn't dare to try it easily.

I can run away, there is no way for these two people, even if Old Man Li is a golden thigh, he can't bear to be cheated.

"So...... Why is the Temple safer? Another question arose in his mind.

In this place, but dare not ask more.

If you think about it carefully, the City God Temple, as an important deity commonly worshiped in Chinese religious culture, is one of the eight gods of Confucianism's "Zhou Guan". This is the extremely powerful belief of the main material world, reflected in the idealistic world, if there is really something that dares to pretend to be a city god, its power is estimated to be not something that the three of them can solve.

"So, staying in this kind of City God Temple is either to send yourself to death, or is it really safe?" This is just Fang Yuhao's guess, but he is faintly a little sure.

In terms of experience, Old Man Li seems to have thicker thighs than Camp Commander Zhao, and whether he can fight or not is another matter. This old guy is over seventy years old, and his physical strength and mental strength have dropped a lot compared to his peak.

But as an old man who has lived until the present in the Yu Hua era, he must have his own stunts.

He turned around again and quietly asked Shi Dapeng: "What are the five elements, eight works, three teachings and nine streams?" ”

Shi Dapeng finally wiped the statue clean, almost killing himself half to death.

He staggered off the table and crouched in a corner.

As if he had a chance to perform, Shi Dapeng exhaled a long breath: "Five elements...... This refers to the meaning of the car and boat shop, that is, the car shop, the boat shop, the shop, the foot, the line. ”

"As the old saying goes, 'car and ship shops should be killed if they are not guilty', it is said that these industries are more convenient for making money and killing people. The 'shop' here refers to the inn...... Hey, there were indeed a lot of black shops in ancient times, and they hung up if they were not careful. Didn't you say it in the Water Margin, make adult meat buns, chicken flavor, crunchy. As a major in archaeology, Shi Dapeng is quite proficient in this aspect.

"I see...... this way" Fang Yuhao kept this in his heart, and also sat on the ground with his ass.

In this kind of ghost place, it is necessary to prevent not only ghosts, but also people, and it is no wonder that it is difficult to open up the wasteland.

After all, no one has any supernatural powers.

Moreover, even if this land is cleared, I don't know what use it will be.
