Before the end of the day, it was dark, and I couldn't see my fingers.

The lady in charge came to urge and asked the women in the wooden building to quickly cleanse themselves, and the so-called cleansing was to go to the stream near the women's camp to wash their bodies.

Men and women live separately on Luzhang Island, and there are strict restrictions on entry and exit, so you don't have to worry about being peeked at when you go to the creek to wash, but it's early spring, and the temperature is cold, and rinsing with cold water is really a torture, but this kind of purification is no exception even for women.

The process of déjà vu, the disgust in Si Chen's heart kept piling up, and she became irritable.

The people on Luzhang Island got up one after another, washed their bodies, and changed into robes for morning classes, and the first team of men and one team of women lined up.

The men's team had already set off for the hill first, and every few people were holding torches in their hands, barely illuminating the mountain road. The women's team followed behind the men's team, also carrying a torch every few people.

Hundreds of villagers climbed the mountain mightily, and from a distance, the light of the fire in the wind made the team look like a long dragon.

In the dark night before dawn, the long queue of people went to the temple on the top of the mountain, and the solemn atmosphere made the newcomers all hold their breath and hang their heads, not daring to make a sound.

The people on Luzhang Island looked solemn, but such a scene was a little strange in the eyes of outsiders.

However, no one dares to express the uneasiness, doubt, curiosity, and slight fear in his heart, which seems to be a very solemn activity, and any undignified behavior is a blasphemy. The expressions on the faces of the people on Kaaki Island were no longer the usual gentleness at this time, but instead serious, so serious that people felt terrible. It gave people the feeling that the slightest expression of doubt at this time had defiled their solemnity and would be killed because of it.

The quiet atmosphere was even more terrifying than the soaring murderous aura, the invisible oppressive force, I didn't even dare to breathe loudly, and I couldn't hear whispers.

When I climbed the mountain with caution and caution, and when I came to the top of the mountain, in front of me, the temple lamps had been lit, and the dim lights overflowed from the temple hall, and an invisible sense of solemnity hit the face, and those who saw this scene for the first time could not help but feel their hearts pounding.

Lined up, men on the left and women on the right, the flame on the feathered beast in the center of the temple seemed to be brighter than usual because of the morning breeze.

After standing in separate columns, the people in the front row took the lead and bowed solemnly in front of the statue of the god of fire. Seeing this, the newcomers in the back row hurriedly knelt down, followed the example of the people in the front row, and bowed to the statue of the god of fire.

When she needed to kneel down to worship the statue of the god of fire, Si Chen felt that her knees couldn't bend anymore, and the sense of rejection piled up, and she was extremely disgusted. However, a part of the power in her body was not her own, and when the repulsion was at its peak, it was not her willingness, but she bowed down to the statue of the god of fire. At that moment, it was as if I was going back to before I was fourteen years old, and I was doing the same thing every day.

After a solemn prayer, the first row recited the scriptures loudly, followed by those in the back. The newcomers did not understand the scriptures, nor did they understand what they meant, and before they came, everyone was given a book with the three big characters of the "Nameless Sutra" written on the cover, and after hearing the chanting, they hurriedly opened it and began to read it in a panic. Some people are literate and some are illiterate, and they all read aloud pretending to read aloud.

Si Chen knelt on the cold and hard ground, opened a copy of the "Nameless Sutra", and looked at it expressionlessly. She was a mute girl now, she couldn't speak, she didn't need to read, and of course she wouldn't recite this in her heart.

In the temple, the chanting continued for an hour, without interruption, without ups and downs, and maintained a steady tone from beginning to end. The sound of chanting surrounds the ears, and at first it will feel noisy, but after listening to and reading for half an hour, those chanting sounds seem to burrow into the brain, ring in the ears, and can no longer disperse.

Outside the temple, Yan Ying sat on the high archway, staring at the figures in the temple who were reciting scriptures, her pale rose-colored lips hooked up as if she was not smiling.

"What scripture are they reciting?" Shen Run sat at the other end of the archway, frowning suspiciously. He knew many scriptures, but he had never heard them read by the people in the temple. He felt that these people had a very cult feeling, and after thinking about it, he didn't say this kind of thought, because he didn't know how much these things had to do with Si Chen, and he didn't want to speak hastily without knowing anything.

"The Nameless Sutra, the only scripture of the Fire Sect of the Phoenix Netherworld, uses the native language of the earliest Feng Ming people, and the Feng Ming people have long stopped using it to speak, and it is all in the scriptures." Yan Ying replied with a smile.

The whole island revered the scriptures in the temple, and no one would find them sitting on the torii at all.

"Fire Cult?" Shen Run's heart chuckled, his eyebrows were condensed, his expression became solemn, even if he didn't understand the Fire Sect, he knew that the Fire Sect was the state religion of the Feng Ming Kingdom, although it was later abolished by Si Chen, but the Fire Sect was the state religion of the Feng Ming Kingdom, which is a history that cannot be changed, there are all kinds of strange things on this Luzhang Island, and the state religion of the Feng Ming Kingdom has appeared on the island, it is good that nothing bad will happen, once something bad happens, Si Chen is absolutely confused, "Are you sure?" ”

Yan Ying glanced at him and smiled lazily, as if she felt that the question he confirmed was meaningless and too lazy to answer. Yan Ying stared at the temple with strong fireworks, and said with a smile:

"Fortunately, the kitten pretended to be a mute girl, if she was asked to recite the "Nameless Sutra", she would have to dismantle Luzhang Island."

Shen Run didn't think that Si Chen would do that, Si Chen was not short-tempered, she was calm and calm, because she could calm down and always maintain rationality, she could be decisive. She wouldn't have demolished an island or something, but Yan Ying didn't seem to be opening her mouth, maybe what Yan Ying said was true. So, what is the reason that can make Si Chen, who has always been calm, suddenly become irritable?

Shen Run glanced at Yan Ying.

There were too many things between Yan Ying and Si Chen that he didn't know, even if he didn't know what those things were, he knew that that common experience could not be replaced by anything.

Shen Run fell silent.

In the temple, a short period of time is set aside before the end of the chanting, and Mr. Chen Peng of Luzhang Island is the interpreter to explain the mysteries of the "Nameless Sutra" to the villagers.

Chen Peng is the chief steward of Luzhang Island, and his position is equivalent to Lizheng with reference to ordinary villages, but because all living beings on Luzhang Island are equal, there is no distinction between upper and lower, people call him by name or nickname on weekdays, and because Chen Peng is highly respected, the people on the island respect him very much, even if he is called by his name, it is with respect. It is said that Chen Peng used to be a teacher.

Chen Peng's explanation is the same as what Luzhang Island admires, warning people to be fraternity and friendliness, know good and evil, know black and white, be dedicated to good, not do evil, and cannot ignore the evil in this world, otherwise they are conniving at evil, and they will be guilty of the same crime as the wicked, and they will be punished by the fire of heaven. Both men and women should be clean and self-loving, restrain human desires, and meditate on practice in order to achieve success.

At first glance, this may sound like nothing wrong, but when you think about it, you feel that something is inappropriate.
