Chapter 212: Hejiang

A large red courtyard wall spreads on the hilltop, and some buildings poke their heads out, flying eaves and corners, and carving beams and paintings. Faintly visible green smoke filled with solemnity.

The aura here is stronger than the rest of the inner city.

A red-robed monk with knotted hair came out to greet the two, the other party's robe looked a little more concise than the previous "water servant", but he was also a monk.

It seems that in addition to being a place to worship and pray for rain, the Pinjiang Dragon Temple is also a place for monks who believe in the Dragon King to practice.

After seeing the ceremony, the cardinal monk who led the two was not arrogant, and briefly introduced the layout of the Dragon Temple, telling about the places that were not approachable, and let the two of them wander around.

Lin Xixi was still carrying a bamboo basket full of water in his hand, and threw two corn kernels down from time to time, an arc disappeared in the water, and he was very happy to eat.

The red carp has been taking care of Lin Xixi for the past two days, and he also brought it up the mountain at this time.

But to Su Xing's surprise, the cardinal monk who received him just now didn't seem to recognize that the two of them were holding a "dragon seed".

Could it be that only the temple of the Dragon Temple has the ability to identify the "dragon species"?

Without thinking much about it, he took Lin Xixi across a few high thresholds and passed through several temples. Among them, there are many statues of water demons, offering incense, and most of them are subordinates of the legendary dragon god.

Finally, step into a verdant courtyard with a light mist.

In the middle of the courtyard, there are three quaint wells, arranged in a zigzag pattern. Su walked to one of the wells to take a peek, and the water rippled in the depths of the well.

Miraculously, however, the edge of the wellhead, which was quite far away from the well, flowed towards the middle of the yard.

The water flowing from the three wells converges in the center to form a shallow pool of clear water.

Ahead, there is the temple gate supported by a large red pillar, and the plaque above is written with four big characters:

"Three rivers and rain".

"This is Sanjiangjing." Out of nowhere, an old man dressed like the previous red-clothed monk walked out, glanced at Su Xing and the two, and said lightly:

"If you burn incense, come with me."

Su Xing thanked him, followed the old man towards the temple gate, thought for a while, and asked:

"What is Sanjiang?"

Su Xing only knew that Yu had a big river named Pinjiang, but whether it was the previous temple Zhukou called "Dragon King Fuyou, Sanjiang Yushun", or the "Sanjiangjing" in front of him, they all carried the name "Sanjiang".

The old man was in front of him, and just when Su Xing thought that he would not answer, the other party stopped in front of the temple gate, turned his head and said:

"A long time ago, there were three great rivers flowing on the land of Yuguo, floods, and the people were struggling to make a living.

At that time, the dragon king ascended to the gods in order to save the people and join the three rivers.

Since then, there is no Sanjiang saying, only Pinjiang remains......"

Su Xing only knew that the dragon god of Pinjiang was a great monk, and then he disappeared inexplicably, and it was the first time he heard of the saying that he joined the three rivers and ascended to the gods.

If the rumors are true, the merger of the three rivers will be such an earth-shattering power.

"The Dragon King at that time ......" Su Xing wanted to ask again, but the old man had already entered the Dragon Temple.

Entering the temple, the old man didn't say a word, just handed the two of them a pillar of incense, and then sat in front of the case at the door, looking at the gurgling water outside the courtyard.

Seeing that the other party didn't mean to speak, Su Xing and Lin Xixi put a stick of incense on the tall red-faced golden dragon statue in the temple, and then left the hall without bothering much.

Then, leaving the Dragon Temple, the two walked through several courtyards and walked towards the silver-black statue standing up to the sky and the earth in the distance.

The silver-black statue stands on a white jade-covered square, where a red-clothed monk is whisking dust with a broom, and several monks like Su Xing and the others seem to be visiting and playing here.

Nearly 100 meters of the dragon god statue stands up to the sky, and the people in the square are like ants, looking at the majesty of the dragon god.

The silver-black sculptures are similar to the gold statues in the previous hall, all of which are hump's heads, shrimp eyes, bull's noses, dog's mouths, catfish's hair, lion's mane, and deer antlers.

However, perhaps the craftsman did it on purpose, and the two looked different. The hundred-meter-tall silver-black god statue has round eyes and is angry. The golden statue in the main hall has a peaceful expression. In addition to this, there are differences in facial detail.

Although no one said it explicitly, Su Xing roughly guessed. The hundred-meter-tall dragon god statue may be the legendary former dragon king who "joined the three rivers and ascended to the gods". The statue in the main hall is now the lord of the Pinjiang Water Mansion.

After walking around here for a while, the area open to visitors in the Pinjiang Dragon Temple is roughly only these, and it stands to reason that the two of them should go down the mountain.

Su Xing found a cardinal monk and said:

"I want to see Lu Kemiao of your temple, we happened to meet outside the city two days ago, and it is fate."

Seeing that Su Xing had met the temple blessing, the red-clothed monk showed a somewhat puzzled expression:

"But in the past few days, the temple has been preparing for the Water God Mansion Festival, so how can they have time to go out."

However, since Su Xing had already said it, he didn't dare to slack off, thought about it, and replied:

"Fellow Daoist here, I'll go and tell the temple lord about the visit."

Seeing Su Xing nodding, the young cardinal hurriedly walked towards the temple.

Not long after, the young monk trotted back, his face visibly much more enthusiastic, but with not the expected news:

"Su Daoyou, Lu Miao Zhu Yan is responsible and can't leave, and he also said that he will meet again.

Only let the trail be entertained, if the Taoist friends are willing, they can take the two of them to the tea room to drink tea and rest. ”

Seeing that Lu Ke was reluctant to meet, Su Xing's face did not change, he just nodded and refused the other party's kindness:

"Thank you for your kindness, but you don't need to."

Then he took Lin Xixi and turned around and walked down the mountain.

The moss-stained stone steps spread down the mountain, and the trees were green and misty. Walking around a corner, the sound of gurgling water in my ears suddenly became clear.

Not far away is a small waterfall, splashing down like a water splash, forming a pool of clear water.

The center of Tan Shui is blue and black, and the depth of the water can be seen, and there are some swimming fish swimming in the shallow place.

"Oh, this red carp...... How about releasing them right here? Su Xing suddenly asked.

"Smack!"

The red carp in the bamboo basket seemed to have spirituality, and its tail made a splash, and Lin Xixi unconsciously let go of the corn kernels he pinched, and just fell down and floated on the water.

"Huh?" Lin Xixi was a little puzzled, and then thought of something, and asked in a low voice:

"Brother Su, is there anything wrong with this red carp?"

"It's nothing, if you don't want to, forget it." Su Xing shook his head, but he had some guesses in his heart.

Lin Xixi thought about it, but walked to the small pool, soaked the bamboo basket in the water, and whispered:

"Originally, I was going to bring you back to the sect to raise you, maybe you will become a little fish demon...... Looks like we're not going to have a part in it. ”

The red carp swung around, the water rippled, and disappeared into Tan.

Lin Xixi carried Su Xing on her back, Xiumei frowned slightly, and her dark eyes glanced at Shen Tan a few times before revealing a little reluctance.

Just when she was about to lift the bamboo basket.

"Smack!"

A sound of water suddenly sounded.
