Due to the rain, there were very few people along the way.

They parked their car in a remote spot near Qinshuitan.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, Li Chuan smelled a dull moisture, and he looked in the direction of the Shenxia Temple. In the rain curtain, the outline of the ancient temple is somewhat blurred, as if it is half-hidden in the overcast sky and lake.

Luo Xueli seemed to be satisfied with the weather, saying: "There are fewer people, and it is more convenient for us." Then he looked at the lake and said, "I'm going." ”

"Okay." Review should be said.

Luo Xueli thought about the direction of Qinshuitan and walked a few steps, and then, his figure disappeared.

Li Chuan held up the umbrella and said to the second and third of the fathers: "Let's go too, maybe the temple has already started." ”

"Let's go." Gongji said.

"If something is wrong, just ring the Tianyin kettle, don't force it." Review should be said.

"Don't worry." Li Chuan responded.

Li Chuan and the three of them slowly walked towards the Shenxia Temple, and when they walked nearby, they vaguely heard a sound coming from the temple. They quickened their pace and walked into the temple.

Li Chuan felt that his eyes suddenly lit up, and it turned out that there were many candles lit in the temple. The candlelight illuminates the statues and murals of the gods.

At this time, there were already more than ten people standing in the temple, all between the ages of thirty and fifty, there were men and women, and Yi Jushi was standing among them.

Seeing Li Chuan and the others, Yi Jushi immediately greeted him, he looked a little happy, and said, "You are really here." ”

Li Chuan said: "Well, it's just fine, so I'll come over and have a look." Then he asked, "What kind of activities do you usually have?" ”

Yi Jushi said: "There is no complicated etiquette, just everyone worships together, and then chats about the recent situation on weekdays, and each contributes some money." ”

Then Li Chuan and the three of them stood aside to watch the ceremony.

Perhaps because there were many people in the temple to disperse the cold air, this time Li Chuan stood for a long time and did not feel cold.

Incense, tribute, tell the deeds of the gods...... Yi Jushi said simply, but a set of processes went down, and half a day passed.

Li Chuan observed the demeanor of the dozen or so believers, listened carefully to the conversation between them, and felt that they were all ordinary people. It seems that it is only because the gods have manifested their spirits to them and saved the lives of their loved ones, so they come to worship on the day of the sacrifice and donate some money.

After the sacrifice, the believers said goodbye to Yi Jushi one by one and left.

"How? Isn't it a bit boring? Yi Jushi walked to Li Chuan and said.

Li Chuan shook his head and said, "It's okay." ”

Yi Jushi said: "In the year after tomorrow, I can invite someone to come and repair it." ”

Li Chuan saw the money box that Yi Jushi was holding in his hand, he took out some copper coins and put them in.

Yi Jushi said repeatedly: "Thank you, thank you." ”

Li Chuan asked: "Do you come to worship the gods every year?" ”

"If you can come, you will always try to come," Yi Jushi looked out the door and said, "It's just that every year there will be a few fewer than the previous year, and maybe in a few years, I will be left alone." ”

"Divine Manifestation, are there any conditions?" Li Chuan asked.

Yi Jushi said: "When my mother was sick, someone in the neighbor's house on the same street was seriously ill, and we visited famous doctors together, and after there was no hope, we went around to pray to God and worship Buddha together, and also came to the Shenxia Temple together. ”

"But later, Shenxia saved my mother, but not his family, why do you say this?" Yi Jushi asked.

Without waiting for Li Chuan to speak, he asked himself and replied: "There is no reason, it's just that when I prayed, Shenxia happened to hear it." ”

Yi Jushi turned around and said, "Gongzi Li, and the two around you, are not ordinary people, right?" What is the purpose of coming to the Shenxia Temple? ”

Li Chuan was not surprised that Yi Jushi saw this, he did not avoid Yi Jushi's gaze, and said, "I'll check some things." ”

"What's the matter?" Yi Jushi asked.

"Do you know Shenxia Island?" Li Chuan said as he paid attention to Yi Jushi's expression.

In such a cold place, being a gatekeeper, this Yi Jushi is obviously not an ordinary person. It's just that I don't know if he's a disciple of the gods or someone else.

He saw Yi Jushi frowning, then shook his head and said, "I've never heard of any Shenxia Island, where did you hear about it?" ”

"A man who calls himself a god." Li Chuan said.

"Who?" Yi Jushi asked.

"The people of the Divine Heroes." Li Chuan replied again.

"Where is he now?" Yi Jushi asked.

"In a place that's hard to get to." Li Chuan said.

"Did he let you come?"

"He told me about Shenxia Island." Li Chuan replied.

"I see," Yi Jushi nodded, as if relieved, he said, "The one who healed my mother is the one from the Shenxia Sect." So there's a Shenxia Island, right? You can look around here and maybe find some clues. ”

"Okay."

"Then I'll go and rest first, if there's something, you can go to the back and call me." Yi Jushi said again.

"Okay, thanks."

Li Chuan watched Yi Jushi walk from behind, and when he walked past a candlestick, he found that Yi Jushi's shadow was in a strange shape.

Is it a ghost? Or something else?

Li Chuan thought for a moment, did not chase after it, but took a candle, connected the fire, and walked in the direction of the mural on the side. In the light of the candlelight, the statue is very clear.

"Big brother, look, there's a boat here." Gongji suddenly spoke.

"Where?" Li Chuan walked over with a candle, squatted down, and sure enough, in the water marks, there seemed to be a boat drawn.

Maybe he should go into the mystical state and look at the murals. Thinking of this, Li Chuan lit the boat with the candle in his hand, and was about to concentrate when he suddenly smelled a tidal smell again.

He subconsciously turned his head, only to find that there was another fog around him, and the candlelight passed through the fog, haloing into one halo after another.

He went to Gongji to go to the third side again, and when he confirmed that they were still around, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Big brother, what's wrong?" Gong Er asked.

"Who knows," Li Chuan sighed and said, "Don't move around when you stand beside me, I have to take a closer look first." ”

"Big brother, don't worry." Gongji said.

Then, Li Chuan used the candlelight to concentrate. He soon entered a state of mystery, and the mist, candlelight, statues, and murals on both sides of his body seemed to be soaked in water.

The cold wind blew, and the light of the candle in Li Chuan's hand was extinguished, and the other candles in the temple were also dimmed one after another. He suddenly got out of the mystical state.

There was no light in the temple.

He heard the sound of fluttering, and Gongji and Pansan seemed to be fighting with something.

Li Chuan no longer hesitated and took out the Tianyin pot. At the same time as the gentle and docile kettle sounded, he saw that Yi Jushi was firmly grasped by the two pliers next to him, and Gong Er kept fanning him with his wings.
