Chapter 107: About Faith
Under the atmosphere of the pre-festival warm-up, the indifference of Az City has melted away a lot, at least there is a noise on the streets, and it is no longer as quiet as the previous two days.
Everyone thought that the turmoil had already swept over the morning and twilight, and it was time for the morning and dusk to subside. Seeing that most of the Demon Imperial Army has receded, and there are no more murders, it is naturally all due to the arrival of the 'Sacrifice Night' ceremony. Therefore, this year's ceremony, the Yuenai people are even more enthusiastic, as if they want to vent all the depression and indignation of this year, and also want to wash away the bad luck since the beginning of spring this year.
Before Jiang Wangchen came to the temple, this time he could straighten his waist and appreciate it seriously, when he really came to the same moon in the early morning, he entered from the side of the stone pillar side door, and he could only look up in it, and his vision was inevitably limited. There are statues of goddesses on both sides of the avenue, which is the moon god believed in by the Yuena people, and the stone statues are in various forms, and the movements and expressions are vividly depicted. The moon god sometimes chuckles and picks mulberry, sometimes meditates and prays, sometimes drunk, and sometimes closes his eyes and looks up. The posture is ever-changing, all of which are touching and moving.
The two were amazed.
"I have always thought that faith is empty, an addiction that lies outside the body, on which the soul depends. But what we see today is so real, as if it is so natural to take root, every leaf, every flower, every fruit is within reach, through these statues, you can see a woman full of wisdom precipitated in life, but sublimated in life. Luo Yu lightly kissed the stone statue with her fingertips, and pointed to the Illuminati believers who also came to visit not far away, and said, "Look, those Illuminati believers, they always say that the supreme god of light is omnipresent, but who has really seen it...... Even the god of the sea, which we believe in in the West Sea, has only a huge statue standing in the center of the islands, and compared to these stone statues that are the same height as ordinary people, she is only a lofty posture overlooking all living beings, mysterious and unattainable. ”
After listening to this, Jiang Wangchen praised from the bottom of his heart: "Sister Luoyu, what a unique opinion...... For an atheist like me, although I can't hear it clearly, I can really feel the ordinariness and beauty of faith through these stone statues, which is simple and even fragile, and makes people more willing to try to follow and protect it. It's like guarding the people you love. ”
"Even if I can meet such a woman who loves life, I will wait desperately, not to mention the enthusiastic good man of the Nai clan this month. Luo Yu asked again: "Brother Jiang, who is the person you want to protect in your heart?"
Jiang Wangchen's mind naturally flashed the faint figure of Hua Yu first, but thinking about her cultivation, looking at Dongxuan, there were not many opponents, and then turned to look at the elegant woman beside him, dressed in a moonlight skirt, turning around and walking, just like Liu Shaohua smiling at Chuyan (1), but it aroused his desire to protect, even if she didn't say it, as long as she looked at her eyebrows, if there was a trace of frowning, he could pick the stars and the moon for her, and please her. After this thought flashed, many people's faces appeared in his mind, and he said: "Many people, including my eldest brother in the border city, as well as relatives and friends in Niujia Village, brothers and sisters, you Sister Hua Youyou, and of course, you two brothers and sisters. ”
Luoyu replied gently: "Brother Jiang, do you know, I feel very safe by your side! Even if the sky falls in the next second, I am not afraid." ”
Jiang Wangchen didn't know how to reply, he blushed and smiled slightly, while silently enjoying the vanity in his heart, he asked curiously: "Luoyu, what is your belief? Is it the sea god you just mentioned?"
Luo Yu pursed her lips and shook her head: "Although my mother often took us to participate in the Poseidon Celebration when I was a child, to be honest, I was too young to understand these at that time, although I learned the etiquette and actions of adults in a good way, but these are only superficial compliance, and I don't remember a thing or two of its actual meaning, let alone faith." Since my mother's death, I haven't been to the Poseidon celebration. ”
Jiang Wangchen was slightly embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry! I don't know ...... you."
Luo Yu interrupted with a smile: "That was many, many years ago, I'm not afraid of you laughing, my memory of my mother is becoming more and more blurred now, and even her appearance is slowly fading in my memory." I can only remember that she has a tear mole under her eyes, but she has rarely cried in her life, all she remembers is about her warm smile, only when she was dying, crying and regretting that she could not grow up with us, so I was determined to become a famous doctor and not let my relatives ignore me like this......"
Luo Yu continued: "As for the faith you said, a child like me who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth is really worry-free and has no worries, and he will not use spiritual faith to support it like a poor family, if there is faith, it is what the master taught me, 'As a doctor, I should respect every life in my hands, and revere myself every time I practice medicine'" Luoyu looked up at Jiang Wangchen, who was a head taller than herself, and asked: "Brother Jiang, although you are an atheist, you must have something to follow in your heart!"
Jiang Wangchen pursed his lips and shook his head and said: "I really haven't thought about this problem, if there is, it should be the eldest brother who taught us to stand up to the sky and the earth and have a clear conscience!"
Luo Yu smiled and said: "Your eldest brother must be the man who stands up to the sky and the earth and has a clear conscience in your heart, right!"
Jiang Wangchen's expression was sad, but there was no doubt about the determination of his nod.
The two were chatting, and suddenly heard the sound of dense drums from the stone road steps, and accompanied by the laughter and scolding of a group of women.
On the courtyard, the young women of the Yuena tribe are dressed in beautiful clothes, like a group of butterflies among the flowers, singing and dancing to warm up the celebration two days later, while the men are naked, only tie a silk belt around their waists, rub the oily tung oil, are in a neat rhythm, aid and drum, the drum shakes the sky, and with the same voice shouting to the sky, the two very shocking sounds blend together, but also the mountains and seas, resounding through the sky, as if in the temple, the thunder is rolling, urging people to be excited.
Jiang Wangchen was placed in the sound wave, and he was also infected, as if he was full of blood, and at this moment, he was ignited by this magnificent and powerful momentum. Luoyu is completely immersed in the delicate dance posture of the Yuena woman who is as delicate as a butterfly and loves a flower, and is as eternal as ink into water.
The masculine and domineering strength of the men of the Tsukina tribe and the graceful and elegant softness brought by the women are completely different and intertwined with each other, complementing each other to show the vitality and vitality of the Tsukina tribe.
In the midst of this lively rehearsal, a very discordant shout interrupted the orderly rhythm.
"Oh no...... Ah Gui, go back and see, something happened to Ah Zhen's family. "The person who came thought it was an old woman. She finished shouting this paragraph, as if she had used up all her breath, and she was out of breath and did not want to say more.
One of the men with the drums walked out of the queue, it was Ah Gui, he held the old woman's shoulder, and gently patted her back, and said, "Grandma Yao, don't be in a hurry, speak slowly, explain things clearly!"
Grandma Yao breathed a few sighs of relief, and finally relieved herself, and said, "I don't know why, a lot of soldiers from the Demon Imperial Army suddenly came to Ah Zhen's house, saying that they wanted to take Ah Zhen away, and there were only us left, the old, weak, sick and disabled in the village, and we couldn't stop it." Go back quickly. ”
Ah Gui completely ignored Jiang Wangchen and Luoyu on the side, and scolded angrily: "These dog cubs Anda are really lawless!"
He cursed, and shouted at everyone to run with him, even those delicate women of the Yuena clan were also indignant, and followed, and the huge courtyard was instantly empty, only Jiang Wangchen, Luoyu, and Grandma Yao who was still panting.
"Ah Zhen?" Jiang Wangchen and the others, who had long been puzzled, went to the empty building before they asked, "Grandma, which Ah Zhen are you talking about?"
Grandma Yao looked at Jiang Wangchen with strange eyes, snorted coldly, turned her head, and ignored Jiang Wangchen.
Jiang Wangchen couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But the Yuezhen of the most remote family in the group of thatched huts in the east of the city?"
Grandma Yao couldn't help but be surprised, but she still didn't let go and said, "What's the matter with you?"
Jiang Wangchen saw that Grandma Yao was still reluctant to tell him, and it was not appropriate to ask more questions and delay time at the moment, so he had to say categorically: "Luoyu, let's go and see it too!"
Luo Yu nodded, and the two of them got up luckily and ran towards the east of the city at a very fast speed. Grandma Yao was left alone in the courtyard and cursed uneasily: "Are these two Anda insane?"
Jiang Wangchen and Luo Yu couldn't hear this curse, their figures had already gone away, but when they thought that the so-called east of the city, as long as they went east from the temple, they should be able to reach it, but when they didn't want to go through the vertical and horizontal alleys in the city, they often walked into a dead end, this was the third time they had hit a wall, Jiang Wangchen finally couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart, and scolded very unceremoniously: "Is the planner of this city crazy!"
Luo Yu also felt the same way, and said, "Why don't we ask passers-by again!"
"Don't you see their indifference to Anda, I don't want to see their cold eyes full of suspicion and suspicion!" Jiang Wangchen shook his head, and saw two Light Sect priests patrolling in the distance, he hurriedly ran over and asked, "May I ask you how to get to the thatched huts in the east of the city!"
One of the shamans asked, confused, "Why are you asking this?"
Jiang Wangchen learned from Hua Youyou, and casually made up a lie: "I have a friend who said that he wanted to go over there to visit the old buildings of the Yuena clan, but he went for a day and still hasn't come back, so he can't let go of it, so he went to look for it......"
The other shaman, believing it for the time being, pointed to the main street on the left and said, "Oh......! You go all the way along this main street, at the third intersection, turn right, turn in and turn left at the second intersection, go further on, about a hundred steps, and then you will see that there is an alley on your right, which is a shortcut, and if you take this alley for about fifty steps, you will see another alley to the left, enter the alley and go straight until you reach the intersection, and then turn back again until you reach the ......"
Not only Jiang Wangchen, but even the other shamans looked at this shaman dumbfounded. Only Luo Yu gently took Jiang Wangchen's hand and reminded: "Let's go, if it's over, it's not good......"
Jiang Wangchen said suspiciously: "Can you remember?"
Luo Yu smiled knowingly and said, "Don't worry, the prescription that my master taught me is much more complicated than this, but don't talk too much to me, and if you interfere too much, I'm afraid I will remember it wrong!"
Jiang Wangchen stopped talking, followed behind Luoyu, shuttled back in the alleys, and finally arrived in the east of the city.
