If no one is nourished by blood, there will be scars on the face, who believes this statement, Hua Yuxiu gave the five animals a thank you gift and hurried back.

After this incident, Hua Yuxiu thought that the turmoil had already ended, and she was considered to have a young body for nothing, and she became more at ease about the candidacy of the queen of Chinese dramas, and she didn't take Yugu's words to heart at all.

After waiting for about a month, Hua Yuxiu woke up in the morning as usual, thinking that she was still young and beautiful, and she was startled at the first glance in the mirror.

She was shocked, and hurriedly stood in the sunlight to take a closer look, and the scaly scar was indeed real, not an illusion.

"This also means that Yugu's words may be true, and my skin does need human blood to sustain it."

When Hua Yuxiu said this, Yue Guanchao asked, "So, you started killing people?" Bathing with human blood. ”

Yue Guanchao said this, Boss Hua shook his head: "Where do I dare to do this, this is a living person, how can I kill people casually, besides, it is not so easy to kill people in Jianghan." ”

"And how do you maintain your looks?"

Yue Guanchao looked at Hua Yuxiu, if he really didn't use human blood for a long time, most of his whole body would already be covered with fish scale scars, and right now, it only appeared on his face and neck, probably because he stopped using human blood not long ago.

"Prisoner!"

Hua Yuxiu paused, and her tone became mysterious: "Tan Yanqiu has connections in the political court, and after the death of a death row prisoner, their blood will be collected, although it is the blood of a death row prisoner, but in the end, it is human blood, and it can also work, and I have been able to maintain my appearance for half a year." ”

"Just." She changed her words: "Even if I use human blood, it is not foolproof, as I use human blood more and more, the time to maintain my appearance is getting shorter and shorter, and now, as long as I don't bathe in human blood for seven days, my skin will scar. ”

"I've only stopped for a few days and it's already like this, I've been using human blood for a long time, and my whole body is full of blood, and I can't wash it off no matter how I wash it, so I can only cover it with perfume powder, which can suppress the smell."

"Boss Hua, didn't you intercede with Aunt Yu? Maybe there is something wrong with the medicine that Yugu gave you? ”

Sun Daqiao interjected, since it was the potion given by Aunt Yu, she always knew how to resolve it.

Hua Yuxiu sighed: "Tan Yanqiu and I also went to beg Yu Gu, and she said that she didn't deliberately embarrass me, it was me who first begged for eternal youth, and Yu Po chose me to fulfill my wish, which is the price I should pay." ”

"After that, Tan Yanqiu also took me to find other people to see things, they all said that this is not a collision with evil, let alone a wild god deliberately looking for trouble, this is a business that you are willing to do, since it is a business, then they have no reason to interfere."

Yue Guanchao listened to Hua Yuxiu's words, and only felt that there must be something strange in it: "Boss Hua, why did Aunt Yu say that the girl chose you, what is there to say about this?" ”

Hua Yuxiu was also a little puzzled about this, shook her head and said: "I have also asked about this, but Aunt Yu said that it is not yet time, and she has not told me yet." ”

"There must be a reason for the strangeness of things." Sun Daqiao muttered: "The fish woman will not choose you for no reason, how do I feel the old man, the fish aunt has set up a bureau for you, just wait for you to drill into the urn and invite you into the urn?" ”

……

As mentioned earlier, Jianghan City is the integration of Hankou, Hanyang and Wuchang three towns, which are connected by the cross-river bridge, the location of the fish temple is near the Longwang Temple, located in the oasis in the heart of the river at the top of the delta, when a few people are talking, the car has driven out of Jianghan, to the delta near the mouth of the river, and slowly stopped at the delta wharf.

From the wharf of the delta, you can see that there is an oasis in the distance, which was originally the lighthouse island of the Yangbu boundary, and after the construction of the customs building, the island was temporarily abandoned as an ownerless desert island, and the fish temple of Jianghan City was built on this island.

Across the river, the fish temple is located in the middle of the island, yellow tiles and white walls, blue trees and blue sky, dense vegetation, verdant and primitive, countless ferry fishing boats through Jiangxin Island began to divert navigation, the steam whine can be heard far and near, when the bell rings from the island, it can be seen that the smoke is wafting away.

"How could the Fish Temple be in such a place?" Yue Guanchao asked, the temple fair in the north is eager to be set up in the county government center, so that the common people can find it immediately, this temple is in Jiangxin, you have to take a boat to go to the island, it is obviously not as convenient as on land.

Hua Yuxiu explained: "Originally, a building like the Fish Temple should be in the center of the town, probably in the same position as the Chenghuang Temple, but this Jianghan City is a three-in-one city, and there is a river in the middle, so there is no way to find the center point. ”

They took the ferry, but a moment and a half have already set foot on the oasis in the center of the river, the island is not very undulating, it can even be said that the terrain is gentle, the difference between the top and bottom is only more than ten meters, it is probably an oasis formed by the accumulation of sediment, it has not been developed for decades, and it is surrounded by dense wild forests, and the location of the fish temple can only be distinguished by the flagpole of the fish temple.

"How many years is the history of this fish temple?" Yue Guanchao walked in the jungle on the island and asked casually.

Hua Yuxiu said: "It's been a while, anyway, when I was young, the fish temple was already here, it seems that it was still in the previous dynasty, and then counting my current age, it is estimated that it will be fifty or sixty years, back then, this oasis was actually not fixed." ”

"Could it be gone?"

Hua Yuxiu nodded at him: "Indeed, this island is formed by the accumulation of sediment in the river, just a tidal flat in the river, not even a stable island, when the water is abundant, it is directly submerged underwater, and when the water level falls, it will appear on the water surface again, between the rise and fall of the river, there are only algae and weeds on the tidal flats, most of the islands are bare, and it really becomes a stable island, it is precisely the beginning of the fish temple built on the island, speaking of which, I have heard the old generation talk about it, the story in this ......"

At that time, when the three towns of Jianghan had not yet become the city of Jianghan, Hankou, Hanyang and Wuchang had their own fish temples, and with the demarcation of Hankou as the boundary of foreign ports, industrial trade became more and more prosperous, which also made more and more foreign people in Hanyang and Hankou.

At this time, the Wuchang government only remembered that it was necessary to merge the three towns of Jiangkou to form Jianghan City, which could also be more convenient for the development of trade, after the merger, the fish temple that originally assumed the role of prayer became very embarrassing, and the three fish temples all belonged to the main temple.

The local people of Jianghan decided to merge the three temples, and at the same time, all the wild gods in the three temples were moved into the main temple, so that the placement of other wild gods in the main temple specifications was not a snub to the wild gods.

After the idea is determined, the location of the fish temple is also on the agenda, the geographical location of the three towns is too special, located on the three banks of the river, there is also a river in the middle, there is no regularity of the four towns at all, no matter where the fish temple is placed, it is always a little unfair, and it is not convenient for the other two places to worship God.

After thinking about it, they took a fancy to the island in the center of the river and decided to build the fish temple on the island, so that no matter where they started, they could enter the island at the shortest distance to worship the gods.

At first, some people were still worried that the fish temple was built on the island, and if it happened to be flooded, wouldn't it flood the temple?

When they drove the stakes on the island, until the temple was built, they did not see the river flooding the island, but because they planted trees, the island became more stable.

It is also because of this phenomenon that the people think that the fish temple has indeed found the right place, and they have successively moved the wild gods in other fish temples to form the fish temple palace, which can be regarded as the largest fish temple by the river.

As they spoke, they had already come to the fish temple along the rammed earth stone road.

This fish temple palace is a combination of the three towns of the fish temple, the specifications are also a little higher than the ordinary fish temple, from the ordinary courtyard to the front hall and the back yard of the house style, the square wall is painted with white lacquer, the yellow tile covers the main hall side courtyard, the rammed earth everywhere is solid, regular and serious, the painted carvings are mostly in the shape of water waves and fish, it looks like a city god temple of Jiangnan style.

Walk into it, there is a huge square in front of the hall, the flower beds on both sides grow decades old trees, the branches are luxuriant, the canopy canopy, there are countless red rope copper bells swaying, jingling bells.

After passing through the flower bed, it has come to the main hall, such a temple and palace are mostly old-fashioned, the eaves teeth are high peck, the eaves are warped, the temple is dedicated to the wild gods, the golden curtain of the treasure platform is not allowed to be used, there are not so many golden and brilliant modeling decorations, everything is simple and primitive.

On the main hall god platform, it is a fish god with a human body and a fish tail, and there are a lot of strange-looking gods on both sides, after Hua Yuxiu's inform, these gods are Bai Shilang (Si Yu God), Chang Si Ye (house god), Liu Locust Lord (locust god), Jin Water Dragon King (river water god), Jin Guan (Cao Yun God), Tian Gong Tian Po (God of Agriculture), Yu Gong Yu Po (God of Fertility), Hairpin Flower Niangniang (main appearance), Hua Ergu (main marriage), basically covering all aspects of people's lives.

By the time they entered the temple, they had already seen many people come to worship the wild gods, and different people knelt on the futon, constantly bowing their heads and praying for something.

"You're not here to worship God, are you?"

Yue Guanchao followed the sound and looked, and a little old lady with shrunken facial features appeared in front of them, with a blue handkerchief wrapped around her head, a blue gray coat and black wide trousers, and an apron made of colorful embroidery.

"Why are you again?"

When the old lady saw Hua Yuxiu, she already knew what they were here for, and her face was a little impatient.

"Old lady, we don't have any malicious intent, so we want to ask what is going on with Boss Hua's face?"

Sun Daqiao looked at the old lady, her eyes were just sharp but not evil, probably not her ghost idea.
