Chapter 144: Stone Statue
We also went to see the Nuwa Stone here in Bashu, and there is indeed one, in the Nuwa Temple, in the hands of the Nuwa statue.
This is much more difficult to get than the water scoop in the Qiuzi pool.
It's really someone watching.
The Nuwa Temple has been around for a long time, but it has only recently been renovated, and there are still a few Taoist priests guarding the temple.
This time, we didn't look for any other place, but directly found the Taoist priest of Nuwa Temple to donate some incense money and stay.
The temple is very small, with a main temple and two quarters.
Two Taoist priests in one room, and the three of us lived in another room.
I slept on the bed, and Zhang Wanmo and Yan Shuyuan lay on the floor.
The food is also home cooked by other villagers.
"Why don't we buy it again?"
At night, none of the three of us fell asleep, lying on the bed on the bed, lying on the ground and chatting.
"Forget it, it's good to do this kind of thing once." And this time, he didn't succeed yet, and others grabbed the handle and came to the door, and even Yan Shuyuan was educated.
"It's not okay to buy by force, it's okay to outwit."
It turned out that Yan Shuyuan had another idea.
Although this Nuwa Temple has been rebuilt once, it still looks very simple, if he pays for the Nuwa Temple to be rebuilt, and then in the process, God secretly replaces the Nuwa Stone, except for us, no one else will know.
And so it was settled.
Early the next morning, we went to the Taoist priest in the temple to discuss the matter.
The Taoist priest was originally a resident of a nearby village, and people were lazy before they wanted to live by guarding the Nuwa Temple, even if it was repaired more than ten years ago, the incense in this temple was not very good, and it was too late to be happy when we heard that we were going to renovate the Nuwa Temple.
On the same day, Yan Shuyuan called Du Ai, and it didn't take much effort to repair a sparsely populated Nuwa Temple, not to mention that the temple was on flat ground.
It's more about money.
The Nuwa statue in the Nuwa Temple was originally a stone statue, but when it was renovated, we made an excuse to say that it was to give her a color.
Who knew that there was a dispute with two Taoist priests on this matter.
"Young Master Yan, it's not that we don't know what to do, you can change this Nuwa Temple at will, but this Nuwa stone statue can't be moved."
"Yes, yes, when we came to be temple keepers, the previous temple keeper had already warned us that we must not touch this Nuwa statue, as long as it moves, it will not work."
Two Taoist priests stood guard at the gate of the temple, one explaining on the other and the other apologizing.
For fear that Yan Shuyuan would feel that he didn't know what to do, he would make this gold master angry and leave.
"And that kind of statement?" On the side, Du Ai played a round game.
"Yes, yes, after we took over the Nuwa Temple, we just followed the instructions of the previous temple master and didn't dare to act rashly."
These two people seem to be greedy for life, afraid of death and greedy for money, but the stubbornness that belongs to the rural people in their bones is still there, which is not easy to do.
According to Bai Xue, the energy of the last Nuwa stone fragment is much greater than that of the previous pieces, and if it is taken out, this Nuwa stone statue will not be able to be saved at all.
"What can I do?" Zhang Wanmo frowned and looked at the tea cup in front of him.
"It's really not good, let's just change the tanuki to the prince." Seeing Yan Shuyuan's health getting worse and worse, I really couldn't think of any other way.
"Tanuki for the prince?"
"Well, let's have people make a statue of this Nuwa, and then secretly replace the entire statue of Nuwa." Although this method is not very good, there is no way to solve it.
"Yes." Yan Shuyuan nodded and asked Du Ai to hurry up and do this.
"Bai Xue, why don't you go and get it yourself?" Zhang Wanmo came to Bai Xue's side, "You secretly go to get it in the middle of the night, even if the Nuwa stone statue is broken, you can leave immediately, and then we go out again, these two Taoist priests will think that it was broken by themselves, maybe they will think that it is the reason for repairing the Nuwa Temple, so as not to let us repair it, can Young Master Yan save another sum?" ”
"I'm not going!" Bai Xue sat down in my arms, "This god doesn't care about these things like stealing chickens and dogs. ”
"Stealing chickens and touching dogs? Doesn't it have anything to do with you that we do these things? I'm doing this because you need a shard of Nuwa Stone! ”
Zhang Wanmo was not convinced, Bai Xue was cheap and behaved, and then wanted to clean up these things.
"Yes, it has nothing to do with me, Nuwa Stone Fragments, aren't they all voluntarily dedicated to me? As for how you got it, that's your business. ”
Bai Xue usually doesn't say such unconscionable words, but when it comes to the Nuwa Stone Fragment, it has always had its own ideas.
"You!" Zhang Wanmo was angry, but Bai Xue couldn't find any fault with what he said.
"Okay, this matter, let's go according to the original plan." I stopped Zhang Wanmo and continued to argue.
It doesn't make sense, as long as we achieve the goal.
It took two days to reproduce the stone statue, and on the day of the change, Zhang Wanmo and Yan Shuyuan took two Taoist priests to drink and eat, and worked hard to get the two Taoist priests drunk.
I took advantage of this opportunity to drop the stone statue with Duai and two hired out-of-town workers.
The real Nuwa stone statue was pulled into the wilderness, two or three kilometers away from the Nuwa Temple.
"Alright, here it is." It shouldn't be detected.
Because of the matter of taking the fragments, the workers were separated by Du Ai, and the two of us were left, "Chen Xing, do you want to take it now, or wait for Young Master Yan to come?" ”
"Take it now." I looked at the time and said.
It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and Yan Shuhang and Zhang Wanmo usually didn't drink at all, so it was unlikely that they would get the two veterans drunk.
But what we want is already in sight, so there's no need to wait.
Du Ai can't see the Nuwa stone, only I will do it.
The Nuwa stone is in the stone held by the statue, which is integrated with the whole statue, and it is impossible to take it off alone, which is why we want to replace the whole statue.
With a mace in my hand, I stepped forward and chiseled off the stone from the hand of the Nuwa stone that lay horizontally.
The sound of chiseling was still quite loud, and after the chisel was lowered, the Nuwa stone began to crack from the hand, and then the entire stone statue was shattered.
Click!
A thunderclap flashed in the sky.
The weather has been sunny for the past two days, and it is impossible to rain, so why is there a sudden thunderstorm now?
Rumble!
A bolt of lightning struck, just a short distance away.
Almost slashed into our side.
I looked up at the sky, could it be that God was giving me a warning?
