Chapter 616: Mountain Temple
Zhang Fan listened to the sound of the rushing water falling from a high place, and was stirred up by its large splash, and finally swept away the grievances in his heart a little, although he is a doctor, but he is not the kind of veteran who has been immersed in the medical Tao for many years, for a fresh life passing in front of his eyes, and he can only watch, this powerlessness is not a feeling that will not appear without any intersection with the patient.
This feeling of powerlessness is very annoying to Zhang Fan, because it clearly makes Zhang Fan see his limited ability, just when Zhang Fan calmed down, he saw three or four women walking towards the quarantine area with things on the mountain road not far away, and it can be seen from the things in their hands that these women will probably go to places like temples to pray for blessings.
In fact, it's understandable to think about it, people should always need some faith, especially in such a difficult moment, for many people, it is when faith gives support and strength, even if sometimes some beliefs seem a little superstitious and funny, Zhang Fan didn't particularly care, he wanted to continue to adjust his mood and then return to work.
However, a breeze blew, but it attracted Zhang Fan's great attention, because from this breeze, he felt a strong cold aura, this aura was obviously degenerate, although this was near the quarantine area, it stands to reason that even if there was a small amount of depravity in the air, it was understandable.
But the amount of depraved qi carried in this breeze is obviously much beyond the level that it should be, and the depraved aura that blows on his face makes Zhang Fan's hairs stand on end, and what makes Zhang Fan even more strange is that the direction of the source of this breeze is not the direction of the quarantine area on the side, looking along the direction of the wind, what Zhang Fan saw was the place where he saw the few women just now.
"Wait, ladies please wait....." Zhang Fan hurriedly stopped the woman who was about to rush back to the quarantine area.
"It's the doctor from the medical department, this is polite, don't you know what the doctor told us to do?"
After approaching at this moment, Zhang Fan felt that they were much more depraved than others, but at this moment, there was no abnormality on them. "Ladies, I don't know where you came from? Isn't it forbidden for people to go out here in the quarantine area?"
When several women heard this, they all looked at Zhang Fan with ugly faces, "I, we really saw that everyone was tortured by this epidemic and was in pain, so we went to pray for the eldest sister in a mountain temple not far away." ”
"Mountain Temple?"
Several women knew that they were not allowed to go out during the quarantine period, and they were all afraid that Zhang Fan, the doctor, would blame, so they all apologized, "My lord, my lord, we don't dare, we are because our family members have died in this epidemic, and we really don't want to see more people die, so we went secretly against the rules, we, we don't dare anymore." ”
Zhang Fan picked up the women who were kneeling and apologized, and asked curiously: "You don't have to be so afraid, you also want to do something for everyone, it's understandable, but I want to know something, you have to answer me honestly." ”
"Okay, I don't know what the adults want to know, we will tell you the truth. ”
"I don't know how long you've been going to the mountain temple to pray for blessings?
The women shook their heads and said: "Usually not only we go, but occasionally there are some other people who go, this is a tradition in this part of our Chishui Town, and it is also a custom, even if there are usually happy events or funerals, the people of our town go to the mountain temple to pray for blessings, hoping that the mountain gods in charge of the three mountains and twelve mountains in this area will bless us." ”
"Customs? That's what you've always done?"
"Yes, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Fan thought about the possibility slightly, "Then let me ask you again, before this epidemic appeared, were there any major events held in your town?"
"Yes, a week before the epidemic, our mayor's daughter got married, so our whole Chishui Town was happy for three days and three nights. ”
"When the wedding is held, do many people go to the mountain temple?"
"Yes, this is our custom, we must go to the mountain temple to pray for blessings, and it is a very lively thing for the town's daughter to get married, and the ruthless people have gone. ”
Zhang Fan then asked a few of them to check their pulse, although several women were strange, why did Zhang Fan ask questions like this and suddenly ask for a pulse, but since Zhang Fan is a doctor, maybe he is worried about whether they will be infected when they go out, after Zhang Fan carefully checked the pulse, it is indeed the same as Zhang Fan thought, the depravity carried by these women is not much worse than those infected people in the quarantine area.
Zhang Fan really wanted to find the source of the epidemic, and hurriedly asked the direction of the mountain temple to go alone to find out, this mountain temple is not far from Chishui Town, only a few miles away, Zhang Fan soon came to the so-called mountain temple.
This mountain temple is actually enshrined in a huge elk statue, a pair of huge horns is its most distinctive feature, looking at the large number of incense outside the temple, it can be seen that this mountain temple is very important in Chishui Town, or it can be said that it is an important spiritual sustenance.
Walking into the temple, a strong smell of sandalwood came to the nostrils, obviously this mountain temple also has a regular manager, a man in a monk's robe who looks like a Taoist priest walked out of the inner hall, saw Zhang Fan coming and smiled and asked him: "I don't know if the son came to pray for blessings or ask for divination?"
"I'm here to pray for blessings. ”
When the man saw Zhang Fan's clothes, he was also slightly surprised and said, "You are wearing the clothes of the medical department, right?
"Well, what's the matter, can't healers come here to pray?"
The man then looked flattered, "No, no, no, the adults misunderstood, the little ones don't have this meaning, the adults of the medical department can come to pray for blessings, it is the blessing of our temple, the doctors and adults help the world to save people, and have the world in mind, I believe that the god of Jiulu is also very happy to come." ”
"Oh, the Great God of Nine Deer, is this the name of the mountain god you worship here?"
"Yes, a long, long time ago, when the people of our Chishui Town first came to settle here, all kinds of hardships continued, just because of the appearance and help of the Jiulu God at that time, our Chishui Town can continue to this day, so the Jiulu God is the guardian saint of our Chishui Town. ”
"I see," Zhang Fan carried out the so-called blessing ceremony in turn according to the man's instructions, and naturally took the opportunity to pray for blessings at the same time, carefully scanning everything around him with his spiritual power, hoping to find some clues, and finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and Zhang Fan finally found some clues.
Although the incense in this temple is filled with incense, it seems that everything is extremely solemn, but behind all this sacredness, it seems that there is something unknown, and under the scanning of spiritual power, Zhang Fan is targeting a place that faintly exudes a cold atmosphere.
Zhang Fan pointed to an inner door and asked, "Temple master, I don't know what that room is for? I came to pray this time, don't I have to go in? If there are any gods in it that I don't know, will I anger the gods if I don't go to worship?"
The man smiled and said: "Don't care, the adult doesn't care, the person in that room is only dedicated to a daughter of the god of Jiulu, the daughter of this god has never liked men to approach, so that room is only for women to worship, the masculinity of the adult's body, but it is inconvenient to enter, if you anger the gods, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"
"The goddess Ming who doesn't touch men, this excuse is inevitably too lame, right?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but think, "Obviously, there are some secrets inside, okay, it's better not to force your way in for the time being, it's not clear what the real situation of this temple is now, and it's really not appropriate to be rash and hostile when the situation is unclear, I'll see what is in it later." ”
