Chapter Seventy-Four: Yu Temple (II)

Luo Lie lit a cigarette, came to Arnold's side, handed him one, Arnold took the cigarette, Luo Lie helped him light it, and smiled: "What do you want?"

Arnold took a hard puff of his cigarette, then spit out a smoke ring in a dashing manner, watched the smoke ring slowly expand in the air, and then said, "You still owe me seven hundred oceans!"

Luo Lie laughed: "I don't have any money for you now, when we finish this mission, I will pay you the balance immediately." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Arnold said: "Rescuing the sparrows is not something we agreed upon. ”

Luo Lie said: "Add another three hundred oceans!"

Arnold shook his head.

Luo Lie thought he was too little: "How much do you want?"

Arnold said: "It doesn't matter, this time I am willing to come, I don't need money!"

Luo Lie looked at this drunken and gambling guy with some surprise, as if he only knew him today.

Arnold said: "At the beginning, it was indeed for money, but now I have found out that I have been on your thief ship, so my father is right, business is business, you can't talk about feelings, now ...... Evening!" he snuffed out his cigarette on the ground, took his flask from his bosom, unscrewed it, and poured it twice.

Luo Lie said: "I have long seen that you are not a layman!"

Arnold grinned, realizing that he had unknowingly been trapped by Luo Lie's friendship.

Luo Hunt patted him on the shoulder and walked towards Yan Tianxin, Yan Tianxin put three incense sticks in front of the statue of Yu God in the middle of the Yu Temple, Luo Hunt looked up at the statue built near the cliff, although the carving is not exquisite, but the mighty spirit of Yu God is still vividly expressed.

Yan Tianxin said: "This Yushen Temple was built in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, everything here is made of local materials, a total of twenty-five stonemasons came at that time, and they worked in this place for ten years before it was completed. ”

Luo Lie nodded, the perseverance of the ancients was beyond imagination, and their perseverance was mostly based on faith. In the course of the development of history, no one can ignore the power of faith, it is faith that supports human beings in their constant struggle against nature, challenging power with their own strength, and spilling their blood at the expense of many people, and in the hearts of many people, faith even transcends the value of life, and in order to maintain the faith he respects can do whatever it takes.

Yan Tianxin said: "It is said that the original intention of building this Yu temple in the Rift Valley is not only to commemorate the god of Yu, that period of time has been rainy year after year, mountain floods are frequent, and the people around Tianmai Mountain have suffered greatly, so the owner of Lianyun Village at that time chose this place where Yu split the mountain and discharged the flood to carve the temple, pray for the blessing of the god Yu, the wind and rain are smooth, and the people on this side are safe. ”

Luo Lie said: "Lianyunzhai has existed since then?"

Yan Tianxin said: "Although Lianyunzhai has always been intolerable to the imperial court, we have never done anything that hurts the heavens and reason, but this world has not been stable from ancient times to the present, even if you want to live quietly, it is a luxury." ”

Luo Lie said softly: "In troubled times, who can enjoy happiness alone? You don't mess with others, but you can't guarantee that others won't mess with you, maybe your existence has become an obstacle for others." If it weren't for the blind man who provoked Ye Qinghong, he might still be staying in the small church in Huangpu to get by, how could he be involved in this thrilling turmoil?

Yan Tianxin also fell into contemplation, Lianyunzhai has always pursued a non-quarrel with the world and guarded his own sphere of influence, but it turned out that their idea was wrong, in Pale Mountain, Xiao Tianxing wanted to be the only one, even if Lianyunzhai did not have the ambition to compete with him, Xiao Tianxing still tried every means to destroy Lianyunzhai. But the strong and brutal Xiao Tianxing did not have the last laugh, he wanted to use the birthday banquet to set up a game to eliminate the opponent, but he didn't expect that the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind, and there was a problem inside the wolf's tooth village. Although Yan Tianxin was lucky to get out of trouble, after leaving Ling Tianbao, the crisis did not go away, and the assassination on Cross Slope was just the beginning.

She doesn't know the current situation of Lianyunzhai, and she doesn't know how many of her subordinates have betrayed, which is the reason why she gave up going up the mountain head-on.

Luo Lie said: "I don't know if Dayu has ever come here to control the water?"

Yan Tianxin looked at the statue and said, "He's here, why don't you ask him." ”

Luo Lie was amused by Yan Tianxin's unexpected humor, he remembered the Medusa statue and the baroque pillar outside, and said this question that had been entrenched in his heart for a long time.

Yan Tianxin said: "You read that right, the statue is indeed Medusa, the person who designed this Yu Temple was from France, he was once a prisoner of Tsarist Russia, and then fled here, came to Lianyunzhai to find the other half of him, so he settled here and lived for 20 years before leaving." ”

Only then did Luo Lie understand why there was a statue of Medusa, but this stonemason from Europe had some bad taste, and actually carved a statue of Medusa in front of the Yushen Temple.

Yan Tianxin said: "Although he left with his family, but his descendants have never broken off contact with Lianyunzhai, in 1870 when the Franco-Prussian War broke out, one of his sons came to us to take refuge in order to avoid military service, and has been living until now, you should now understand why I know English." In fact, she is also very fluent in French, and she also learned some German from that teacher, and Yan Tianxin has a superhuman talent in language.

Luo Lie nodded, secretly thinking in his heart, Yan Tianxin gave an extremely reasonable explanation, it seems that her understanding of the West should come from the descendants of this French stonemason.

The wind outside is obviously increasing, just when a few people began to worry, the bolt and Lu Weilin came back from outside, the bolt carried a large bundle of dry firewood, but Lu Weilin found nothing, although he has outstanding marksmanship, but in the middle of winter, the prey rarely comes out to act, and the clever woman is difficult to cook without rice, let his marksmanship be like a god, and he can only come back empty-handed.

The bolt soon started a fire in the hall, and he brought dry food, not much, but enough for them to feed themselves tonight.

Yan Tianxin's ability to observe the clouds and know the sky is really powerful, just after nine o'clock, there was a blizzard outside, the blizzard was raging, the ghost cried and howled, the wind blew the valley, and the pine waves burst, as if he had the momentum to destroy and tear everything apart, even if he stood at the gate of the Yu Temple, he was already blown by the wind and could not stand, if he insisted on climbing to the top from the ancient road at this time, he was afraid that they would be blown off the cliff one by one, no wonder Yan Tianxin, who was like an arrow, was willing to stop and choose to rest.

The wind swept the snowflakes into the main hall from the open temple gate, and the five gathered in the southwest corner of the main hall, which was the most sheltered from the wind. Arnold and Lu Weilin invariably remembered the few sled dogs that were discarded on the cross slope, and how good it would be if they brought one.

Arnold drank half a pot of wine from the bud rice paste, and then shrank down by the fire to sleep, as long as there was wine, he was not picky about the environment. Lu Weilin rubbed his gun by the light of the fire, he had a lover's feeling about his weapon, and his eyes were only full of tenderness when he stared at the pistol, at least much gentler than when he looked at a woman.

Wrapped in his coat and leaning against the wall, he slept on the day, the day that was most tormenting for him, he witnessed his father's death, and was still immersed in deep pain.

Yan Tianxin said to Luo Lie: "Hurry up and take a break, there will be no problems here." "People can't survive in such a blizzard, and even wild beasts won't risk their chances, so they can rest easy.

Luo Lie nodded, patted his shoulder and said, "I can lend you a shoulder." ”

Yan Tianxin glared at him, moved to the side, but narrowed the distance between him and Luo Lie, wrapped himself in it with the blanket he carried, and when he turned his back, the corners of his lips flashed a faint smile.

Lu Weilin looked at Luo Lie through the bonfire, gloating with a face.

Luo Lie waved his fist at him to demonstrate, but instead of being angry, Lu Weilin became happy, revealing a mouth full of white and neat teeth. He whispered, "Sleep, I'll keep vigil!"

Luo Lie shook his head, not that he was deliberately humble, but because he didn't feel sleepy at all, he finally slept for a while on the cross slope last night, but he was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night, he would rather stay up all night than repeat that nightmare as soon as he closed his eyes.
