Everyone had no choice but to press their minds and wait for Tan Yanqiu's notice, and about three days later, the Fuyuan Grand Theater called and asked them to go to the Dragon King Temple.

In the past two days, Yue Guanchao has long known that the Dragon King Temple is a place to watch things, so he simply found some ancient books to see that the history of the Dragon King Temple can be traced back to the Hongwu period at the earliest.

Probably in the Zhu Ming Hongwu period, the water of the Han River was changed from Tunkou to the Longwang Temple, the river water seized the road, and there were more turbulent eddies on the already narrow river surface, the waves hit the shore no less than the waves, the river boat often capsized and overturned, the ship destroyed countless goods, and the people along the river suffered from its disasters and suffered unspeakably.

There is a Taoist priest bluntly said, this place is the place where the Han River enters the river, the river bank is narrow and the river surface is turbulent, it is very easy to cause the river Jiao finless porpoise to make waves, they like to ambush the boat, attract people to fall off the boat and feast, for the safety of the boat here, it is necessary to build the Dragon King Temple on the tidal flat of the river mouth, and suppress the evil dolphin with the head of the water tribe.

After the Taoist priest proposed, Emperor Hongwu ordered the government at that time to build the Dragon King Temple here!

It is also strange to say, since the day of the construction of the Dragon King Temple, the river is still turbulent and turbulent, but there is no ship to overturn and capsize again, although the boat into the river is dangerous, but there is no danger of the ship destroying people's lives, the river mouth has also changed from the dangerous waves and dangerous shoals to the Caoyun wharf, and the freight has been prosperous so far.

Some people rumored that it was the power of the dragon king to suppress the evil Jiao, and the surrounding people were grateful for the miracle of the temple, and they came to pray for blessings, and the incense was endless.

To the previous dynasty, once demolished the stone tablet and the archway in front of the Dragon King Temple, and then a few years were not allowed to live in peace, the river was surging and overflowed on the river beach, the former dynasty government saw that the Dragon King Temple was so effective, so it had to be restored and repaired as new.

After this incident, the surrounding people are more sure of the magic of the Dragon King Temple, and even, every spring, the dragon dance is held in the Dragon King Temple, to pray to the Dragon King for good weather and abundant grains.

As for the arrival of the Republic of China, the foreign port boundary demarcated by Hankou is not far from the Longwang Temple, and the commercial prosperity of the Longwang Temple is like the formation of the Huajie's water and dry wharves and market temple fairs, plus the Longwang Temple is very effective, every day to see the pedestrian lively, never see the cold time.

As they spoke, they had already crossed the alley and arrived at the Hankou River Beach in a rickshaw.

As mentioned earlier, Jianghan has a very strong water and dry wharf culture, the wharf port is all over the river beach, the boats and boats everywhere are congested with the river, busy freight, and the porters here are also from the north and south of the river, and the people who come and go from the south to the north have different natural tastes.

Near the market on the river beach, you can eat Guangdong's crab roe roasted wheat, pork belly soup, roast goose, cold drinks, you can also eat Haicheng's thick oil red sauce, Western seafood, and more cold noodles, hot and spicy rabbit head, sea pepper folded ears in the southwest, baked naan, pancakes, oily noodles in the northwest, as well as steamed fish, kelp soup, sweet and sour tenderloin, oyster soup in the south of the Yangtze River, and even, there are also roasted sauce meat, beef and sheep pots in the north.

There is a chowder of flavors from the north and the south, nine of the ten neighbors, and everything to eat!

In front of the Dragon King Temple at the end of the river beach, the huge archway stands at the end of the yard port, the three words of "Dragon King Temple" are written before and after, and then some of the river water shoals in front of it, the stele breaks out of the water, you can see the words "Dragon King Buckle Water Wharf", there is a dragon pond in front of the temple gate, the back is backed by the green mountain, the river surface is vast and sparkling in the distance, the yellow crane tower on the opposite bank is reflected, the fog is hidden, and it appears from time to time.

Hankou, Hankou, and the Han River flow into the rivers from here, which is also the origin of Hankou!

This time, Tan Yanqiu also came to the Dragon King Temple, and the two stood in front of the archway and greeted several people.

Approaching the two, Tan Yanqiu said: "Daoist Cui is not informal, and he doesn't like to be lively, he originally went out to make a fortune in the past few days, and he only came back today." ”

"Fate? Such a powerful person, the Dragon King Temple still doesn't care? Yue Guanchao asked curiously.

Tan Yanqiu waved his hand: "Where is this, where is this, the Dragon King Temple wants to take care of the food and people are not willing to do it, this Cui Taoist said that he is a free way, he does not sit in the temple, he does not sit and watch, and he can't let people support him, he can only eat a hundred meals, so he can come and go freely, and he can go when he wants, and he will not be contaminated with the cause and effect of sitting in the temple." ”

"Such a person, since he doesn't want to sit in the temple, he can't just travel around, listen to your words, Cui Daoyou has been here for several years!"

Xu Xiake and Cui Daoshi are both wandering Taoists, and they are very curious about this.

Tan Yanqiu took them up the steps: "Xiaodao chief, Cui Daoren is very strange, eats hundreds of meals, wears hundreds of clothes, and wears Baina Yunyou clothes, but it is really sewn up with hundreds of cloths, and no one knows when they came, only that they have been here for about ten years, and the reputation of Guanluoyin a few years ago was already loud enough, and no one knows why they didn't sit in the temple to practice since they have been staying for ten years." ”

"You'll know when you go."

Walk to the end of the stairs, the pattern of the Dragon King Temple is clear to the eye, the whole temple is built on the high ground, starting from the archway they walked through, the temple gate, the prayer platform, the main hall, the matching hall are distributed in turn, the space is regular, the trees are surrounded by trees, the yellow tile and the red wall, and the fish temple in the distance reflect each other, it is extraordinarily magical.

After entering the temple door, the shadow wall of the dragon Tengyun is coming, after bypassing, the dragon king temple is heavy eaves and tiles, the angle chases the clouds, it is very smart, the left and right are separated from the hall and the building, there is a verandah through, so that the backyard can be reached.

In the square in the front yard, a very magnificent prayer platform appeared in front of you!

The dragon king can do the clouds and rain, eliminate disasters and solve misfortunes, this rain prayer platform is the place to pray for rain every year, the platform shape is square, the carved railing is opened on all sides, there are steps to extend downward, the area is about the size of three or four roofs, there is a half-waist high circular red wall outside the carved railing.

There are no tiles at the head of the wall, and the four arches on the wall connect the stairs, only to see the blue and white dragon around the wall in a circle, which just echoes the pattern of the round sky!

"Lao Cui, you are going to give people a distraction today, and you are still drinking like this, I will see what you do."

When walking around and observing, a sheep's beard came out of the verandah, and there was obviously a drunken drunkard beside him, who was sewn and sewn on his body, revealing a white thread, and he was a normal person in the south, with a body like a crane, thin but not thin, dark skin with rough spots, and his fingers were also miscellaneous, and there were a lot of thick calluses on his fingers.

"You don't care about me, Master Dao, when did I do something wrong because of drinking."

The two pushed and shoved in front of the people, and Tan Yanqiu respectfully handed over the roast chicken and soju: "Old Dao, I know that you don't want money, this is a customary gift, and I hope you accept it." ”

Daoist Cui thought that he was a wine and meat Taoist who was not taboo in meat and vegetables, so he directly asked the temple keeper on the side to accept it, so he raised his slightly drunken eyes, looked at Tan Yanqiu, and muttered: "It's good to say, you follow me to the rain platform, and when I prepare something, I will take you to your gods." ”

It was for this reason that they came, and they were led by Daoist Cui into the arch and up the stairs to the rain prayer platform.
