Chapter 114: Water Ghosts
At the same time that Mo Ling was promoted to godhood again, Zheng Yichen rushed to the disaster area non-stop, but he was not alone, but was protected by thirty soldiers from the pro-military battalion, and there was also a young general who took the lead, leading these soldiers to go deep into the disaster area, and safety matters must not be ignored.
The group rested on a high ground, and there was a local old man who led the way in the team, Zheng Yichen had a humble attitude towards the old man along the way, and the accompanying soldiers also liked to interact with the young Hou Mansion Gongzi, and they got along very happily along the way, Zheng Yichen sometimes had some requests, and the soldiers were also willing to obey orders, this kind of behavior surprised the accompanying young generals, after all, the people in the military camp have always only obeyed the orders of the Hou Ye.
The group was cooking and resting, and on the high post on the bank of the river in front of them, looking from a distance, a three-story temple towered gorgeously by the river, which looked incompatible with the dilapidated and depressed surrounding villages, Zheng Yichen wondered in his heart, such a place still has the heart to build such a temple?
The old man pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled bitterly, looked carefully left and right, leaned over and whispered in a low voice: "What kind of god is it? It's just a man-eating ghost!"
Zheng Yichen was even more puzzled: "Isn't it a god? Then how could this big temple be built to worship him?" The old man's eyes were full of fear, and he suddenly didn't dare to say any more, as if there was some taboo! Could it be that he was worried that there were some ghosts hidden on the side to check? He was different from ordinary people, so he looked left and right, and there was nothing supernatural to hide, so he asked again: "Don't worry, uncle! There is nothing to eavesdrop here, you can talk about it." This is a tael of silver, a thank you gift!"
The old man took it, still a little palpitating: "You don't know! That evil ghost, but it's amazing, every three days he wants the villagers to offer incense, if it's just ordinary incense, but what he wants is not only incense, candles, and yellow watches, but also the villagers to give chickens, ducks, fish, meat, blood and live food, if you refuse to give it, you will immediately fall seriously ill, and you will be sad to live and die." ”
"Then why don't you run away, do you still stop here and wait for the evil ghosts to scare and exploit you?" Zheng Yichen wondered.
"How do you know? The lower reaches of the south are more devastated, and there are groups of beggars. The mountains to the north are full of tigers, wolves and beasts, and for now this is still alive. The water here is small, and the waterlogging is not so heavy, even if the evil ghosts are exploited, as long as they can live, there is always a way out, and if they really run away, can they still take care of life and death?"
"Didn't you invite a Taoist priest to eradicate it?" Zheng Yichen's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, looking at the palace on the high platform, his face was not good.
"Please, why didn't you invite? But they're all liars! When they came, they boasted so much that they either died or escaped, and they were stupid and stupid. On the contrary, the villagers were intimidated by the evil spirits, and now they are too lazy to toss anymore, and they offer some blood food every few days, and they finally have a way to live. I have more to say!" the old man shook his head and left.
Zheng Yichen got up, paced alone, and slowly walked towards the temple. It seems that as the Taoist priest Zang of the scattered flower view said, now the monks have allowed ghosts and gods to appear, and cholera is in the world. This evil ghost is making trouble here, and there is no monk to clean it up, which is absolutely unreasonable!
But a moment to the post, the temple in front of the construction of the exquisite abnormal, everywhere are carved beams and paintings, flowers, birds, fish and insects carved between the beams, painted with color, some like the previous life of the southern coastal area of the temple shape, although not big, but the three layers look impressive. The square was paved with neat stone slabs, and a large incense burner stood in front of the temple.
There are two pavilions on the left and right, carved with two three-headed and six-armed ghosts, with knotted muscles, holding knives, guns, sticks, and ropes, opening their bloody mouths, and their beards are raised, looking down on the visitors viciously. By the way, the temple is guarded in front of it! The plaque on the temple has three big characters written on the temple!
In Mo Ling's eyes, the two idols emitted a stream of black gas, and there were two evil ghosts hiding inside the idols. It was still daytime, and they were afraid of the daylight, so they hid in the idol and fell asleep. Stepping into the temple, there is a high platform in front of it, and a golden-faced statue is erected on the platform, which is wearing a four-clawed dragon robe, with a crown on his head, hanging down nine times, and sitting on the high seat of Sumeru. The face is clean and beardless, and the eyes and eyebrows are straight!
There is a statue of a general on the left and right, one with blood-red lips and teeth and a dark face, and the other with red lips and golden lips, and his eyes and eyebrows are all evil.
The statue of the main deity seems to be presentable, not at all like a fierce god, but like an emperor, majestic and upright. Zheng Yichen secretly sarcastically in his heart: "Sure enough, the world will be in chaos! Such a transgression, where did a little ghost come from, who collected a few small soldiers, and dared to pretend to be the emperor, wearing a royal robe and sitting on a high platform?
The three idols all have evil ghosts and black qi constantly coming out, and with the most powerful king in the middle, it seems that they are also sleeping inside, so as not to be harmed by the sun and yang energy. Zheng Yichen looked at these evil gods coldly, and secretly made a plan in his heart: "It's daytime, it's easy to destroy you, but it's too cheap for you." I've had enough fun at night, and it's not too late for you to finish it again. He shook his sleeves and left with a sneer.
At three strokes at night, the banks of the river are dark and dark. Only the green lights in the temple emitted a dim green light, which looked eerie and abnormal! During the day, everything seemed to be quite normal, and even this statue of the water king was full of righteousness! However, at this time, it seemed that the two Dharma Protectors outside had turned into two demons with three heads and six arms.
Inside, a black-faced demon wearing a royal robe and a crown sat on the stage, counting the harvest of the day, and two black-armored soldiers were one on the left and one on the right, sneering and full of greed. It looks like a god, but it looks like a nest of bandits, crowned by monkeys, and there is no king in a royal robe!
The water king picked up the accumulated incense, took a sharp breath, and immersed himself in it: "It's really comfortable! hahaha!" The soldier on the left came over with a smile: "King! Our harvest in the past few years is much more comfortable than in the south." ”
"That's it! I can only be a small soldier over there, and when I come here, we will also become kings! Look at me, build a temple and erect a statue of the prince, and after sucking the incense for only a few days, isn't it now the prince of a living person?
"I really don't know whether to live or die! The skill is not high, and the tone is not small!" A voice came from the outside to the inside, and it seemed that the entire hall was echoing.
When the water king heard this, he got up and was shocked, and hurriedly rushed out of the hall, and when he took a look, he saw that the eight golden armor gods were shining brightly, and the tall golden body was standing in front of them, and the bright light was shining all over the body, and they were connected into a piece, shining brightly! If you look closely, aren't they the two guards in front of your temple?
