"Fear of authority but not virtue, there is small courtesy but no great righteousness."

"Tsk...... Thirteen words really speak to human nature. ”

Walk slowly along the beach.

It didn't take a moment.

Chen Yulou, who was walking in the front, seemed to sense something.

Suddenly stopped.

Standing under an ancient tree, I looked back at the large lake below.

On the surface of the lake that was originally empty.

At this moment, there is already a big boat, which is slowly heading towards Fuxian Lake.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but shake his head and whisper to himself.

Let's be honest.

He would rather persuade softly than draw his sword, but at all times, the bigger the fist, the more convincing the words he said.

I didn't look at those people, I was suspicious a moment ago, this will have already crossed the boat.

"Let's go, go back to the city."

Seeing the thoughtful looks of several people behind him.

Chen Yulou retracted his gaze and said with a long sigh of relief.

One way or another.

The fishermen's side is settled.

As for the people in the city, there should be no problem with letting the old shopkeeper come forward and talk about it when the time comes.

After all, it was the only thing that Zhou Jiao couldn't let go of before his retreat.

Since you have agreed, you can't be untrustworthy after all.

The group did not delay any longer, sped up the journey, and went straight to the city.

The other side.

Restaurant in the city.

The red girl leaned against the window, frowning slightly, and there was always a lingering worry between her eyebrows, and from time to time she glanced at the lake far away outside the city.

The shopkeepers set out early in the morning into the lake.

It's been a few hours since then, and there's been no news.

One morning.

Her heart was like a stone pressed against her, and she was restless, always worried that something would happen.

"Sister Hong, don't worry, there is Brother Chen...... Well, the two senior brothers are also here, and they will definitely be able to get along. ”

Hua Ling stood up, stretched out her hand and gently wrapped her shoulder, and said with a smile.

I've known each other for so long.

In her impression, the red girl is heroic and cool, fierce as fire, and the woman does not let her eyebrows go.

How many people in the rivers and lakes are inferior to her.

This is the first time that I have seen such a daughter's melancholy temperament from her.

"After all, I don't have ...... around"

The Red Maiden shook her head.

She has been on the mountain since she was fourteen years old and has been by Chen Yulou's side for ten years.

Now, the shopkeeper is personally involved in danger, but she is left alone in the city.

How can this give her peace of mind?

"If Brother Chen knew Sister Hong's intentions, he would probably be upset."

Hua Ling said with a grin.

Hearing the joke in her words, the red girl, who has always been calm, instantly spread to her earlobes and neck with a touch of heat on her cheeks, and an indescribable shame floated in her eyes.

Bei Fang bit his red lip lightly.

Just about to speak.

Suddenly, she froze.

The pupils slowly dilated, and the surprise suppressed the shame.

"What's wrong?"

Because of the angle, Hua Ling's vision was blocked by the half-hidden window.

I can't see the downstairs.

just noticed that the red girl was strange, and couldn't help but be concerned.

"Shopkeeper, you're back......"

The red girl took a deep breath and endured the surprise, but the slightly undulating chest exposed her thoughts.

Hua Ling sighed, and quickly rushed to the window and gently pushed it.

Look down.

On the long street outside the building, a line of familiar figures broke into sight.

A green-shirted figure at the front, even among countless pedestrians, could feel the dusty aura on his body.

"It's really ......"

"Let's go, Sister Hong, go downstairs and have a look."

Holding the red girl's wrist, Hua Ling couldn't wait.

"Here we are."

Feel her heart.

The red girl couldn't help but smile.

The little girl who was in love for the first time, although she still had the heart to make fun of herself just now, but when she saw the shopkeeper return safely, she thought she had covered it up very well, but the joy in her eyes was almost overflowing.

In the entire Xiangyin City, I don't know how many girls in the boudoir have secret feelings for him.

But when the shopkeeper was young, he indulged in the road of unloading the mountains, flipped through the ancient books, and restored the instruments that had long disappeared in the long river of history one by one.

Now, more than a decade has passed.

He was also immersed in his cultivation.

I don't seem to pay much attention to the affairs of men and women.

He was almost never seen to have his mind set on a woman.

If Hua Ling can enter the Chen family, it is actually not a bad thing, and if he stands at thirty, the shopkeeper should also start a family.

As for herself.

Although she always uses the oath of the year as an excuse, she knows herself best.

I already belong in my heart.

It's just that she can't figure out what the shopkeeper is thinking.

By the time the two of them went downstairs one after the other, the guys had already been alarmed, and the lobby on the first floor was crowded with people.

See this.

The old shopkeeper also had no intention of greeting guests.

I finally squeezed out the door.

watched the group return safe and sound.

It's almost a dream-like unreality.

Morning by the pier.

Although Chen Yulou persuaded him to go back to the city first, where could he put his mind at ease, he insisted on facing the water breeze by the lake, and watched the group disappear into the vast fog by boat before turning back.

Let's be honest.

Move to a line.

He didn't really hold out much hope.

How many old fishermen who rely on water for food, in order to survive, ventured into the lake to fish, but in the end only ended up with a boat capsizing and people dying.

Chen Yulou has some backgrounds.

But the Dragon Lord doesn't care who you are.

Returning from the lake, he was also restless this morning, and he couldn't figure it out after a dozen times in a page of his ledger, and finally he had to take over the work of the hospitality guy.

Keep yourself busy.

so as not to be cranky.

"Mr. Chen......"

"The old shopkeeper."

Chen Yulou hugged his fists.

Today's trip on the lake, I really thank him for running before and after, otherwise it would be difficult to get a boat alone.

"It's okay, it's okay."

Seeing that he was as gentle and calm as when he left in the morning, and there were no traces of injury on his body, the old shopkeeper's hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach.

"The ......"

The old shopkeeper seemed to have something in mind.

It's just that as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that it was not suitable, so he thought about it and forgot it.

"I still have two jars of good wine, take a sip?"

"You don't have to drink it."

Chen Yulou waved his hand, "I still have to trouble the old shopkeeper." ”

"I'll talk about it when I'm resting."

He opened a restaurant in the city, and the people he came into contact with came and went from north to south, and he was also well-informed, at least in the past few years, he had never heard of anyone who could enter the lake and get out of the lake.

Seven people when I went.

Come back a lot.

That's Fuxian Lake.

Not a small mud pond in the backyard.

This alone is not something that ordinary people can do.

"And what if it's about the river gods?"

Chen Yulou glanced at him meaningfully and smiled.

"River...... River God?! ”

The corner of the old shopkeeper's eyes jumped heavily, and his raised foot was also retracted suddenly, and he looked at him in disbelief.

'How can I meet the river god?' ’

Last night's question was still ringing in his ears.

Unexpectedly, when I heard the word river god again, it turned out to be from his mouth.

The old shopkeeper stared at him for a long time, and his heart had already set off a huge wave, could it be that they went to the lake today and really saw the dragon king?

How is this possible?

The first thought that came to the old shopkeeper was impossible.

Fuxian Lake has not been peaceful in recent years.

But what kind of existence is the Dragon King, and how can he see it if he wants to?

He came to build the water city, and it took almost 30 years before and after.

But even if it was a sacrifice to the gods, he had never seen the true body of the river god.

He took a few deep breaths.

It was not easy to suppress the vibration in his heart, and the old shopkeeper waved his hand curtly.

"It's not a joke......"

"No kidding."

Chen Yulou's eyes were deep, and he said calmly.

"What?"

Now the old shopkeeper was also stunned.

It's really Chen Yulou who is difficult to figure out and can't see thoroughly, otherwise if he changes someone, he will only think he is talking nonsense.

Out of caution, the old shopkeeper raised his hand and made a gesture of please, the meaning of which was self-evident.

There are a lot of people downstairs.

If it gets out, he can't afford to criticize the river god.

"It's fine."

Chen Yulou nodded.

Following the old shopkeeper, he pushed the door all the way through the corridor, and in a short time he arrived outside the patio where he lived.

Quiet all around.

Two ancient trees extend upwards, the canopy is verdant like a cloud, just enough to cover a pool at the bottom of the well, and the sunlight shines through the gaps, reflecting the shadow of a pool.

Falling dead leaves.

Occasionally, you can see a few small fish swimming by.

"Mr. Chen, the river god you just talked about...... What's going on? ”

The old shopkeeper didn't care about anything else.

As soon as he stopped, he couldn't wait to ask.

Chen Yulou did not delay, and repeated what he had told the fishermen at the wharf before.

83 Chinese network latest address

It's just that.

In a few words.

But it made his heart shake when he heard it.

"I'll have to trouble the old shopkeeper about this matter."

Mr. Chan relaxed...... This is a good thing, after more than ten years of peace, we can finally have a peaceful life. ”

The old shopkeeper who came back to his senses waved his hand again and again.

Storm on the lake.

Fishermen who rely on water for draft bear the brunt.

The same is true for people like him who open their doors to do business.

"That's good."

Seeing that he was full of promises.

Chen Yulou also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh yes, old shopkeeper, there's something else I'd like to ask in person."

"Mr. Chen said it bluntly."

"Three years ago, at the last worship ceremony, do you still have an impression of who was on board at that time?"

On the way back, Chen Yulou was thinking about it.

Most questions have already been answered.

But there are still a few incomprehensions.

It just so happened that the old shopkeeper was one of the people who was in charge of escorting the sacrificial ship and managed to survive, so it couldn't be clearer to ask him for verification.

"Of course ......"

The old shopkeeper thought for a moment.

The past came to mind.

"Every year, the people who worship the gods and escort the sacrificial boats are appointed by the river gods, and we are selected at the same time, a total of seven people, but I don't know why, when we board the boat, there is one more."

"I was still curious to ask at the time, but Miao Zhu said that the singular meaning is not good, and adding one person can also show sincerity to the river god, so I didn't think much about it."

Listen to him babble.

Chen Yulou's fingers tapped with it.

"Originally, the wind and waves along the way were calm, and the sacrificial boat also arrived at the center of the lake smoothly, just waiting for the incense to be burned, and the river god could take the boat back after enjoying the sacrifice."

"But that day it was like seeing a ghost."

"The river god suddenly got angry and overturned the boat, but fortunately I was lucky and hugged a piece of the boat......"

Although years have passed.

But it was terrible.

In the past few years, he has suffered a lot, I don't know how many times in the middle of the night, he will wake up from a nightmare, close his eyes and that scene will appear in his mind.

Until he finished.

Chen Yulou spoke calmly.

"There are two more questions, can the old shopkeeper solve my doubts."

"First, what does the extra man on the ship look like?"

"Second, can you take me to meet that temple wish?"

The voice fell.

The old shopkeeper took over.

"The extra person, I remember is a fresh face, and after getting on the boat, he walked to the side and sat down, his clothes covering his head, if he had to say, it was a little similar to those masters in the temple."

Because before leaving, there was suddenly one more person.

For such a major event as a sacrifice to the gods, which cannot be sloppy at all, it is simply an unimaginable mistake and omission before it is put forward.

Therefore, he is still quite impressed.

"As for the temple blessing...... When would Mr. Chan want to meet? ”

"Naturally, the sooner the better."

Hearing this, Chen Yulou actually understood in his heart that it was not bad from his first guess, and Miao Zhu played a key role in this matter.

"And now?"

"Good!"

The old shopkeeper swore that it was really just a casual remark.

But I didn't expect Chen Yulou to be in such a hurry.

Now that the words have been spoken, it is too late to regret it, so he can only smile and nod, "Mr. Chen, wait a minute, I will let someone prepare the carriage." ”

"Far away?"

I used to walk out of the city.

This time, he actually proposed to take the car, Chen Yulou couldn't help but ask curiously.

"The Dragon King Temple is built at the foot of the mountain on the south bank of Fuxian Lake, deserted, and there are almost ten miles from here......

"Then don't take a car, go on horseback."

More than ten miles.

The ride is less than an hour or two.

Chen Yulou made a decision immediately.

Delaying time is one thing, and on the other hand, he has a strong premonition that when the hidden master died, it is very likely that the temple has already escaped.

See him settle down.

The old shopkeeper is not easy to refute.

A moment later.

A group of several people rode their horses and rushed directly to the outside of the city.

Worried that the old shopkeeper was getting old, Chen Yulou also sent a guy to take him on horseback.

When you get out of the city and go all the way south, you will see rugged and difficult mountain roads as far as the eye can see, and the more you go inside, the more sparsely populated you will see along the way, and only occasionally you can see a few mountain people.

See this.

Chen Yulou's mind became heavier and heavier.

It stands to reason that the Dragon King Temple, as a place of worship to the gods, should not be built in such a wilderness.

So it seems.

I'm afraid that the temple has a plan.

In order to successfully get out after succeeding.

Almost half an hour.

Between the lakes and mountains, a red-walled Uwa building finally appeared, which is somewhat similar to the northern temple, but incorporates the design of the Tibetan stone building.

"That's it."

Seeing the Dragon King Temple, the old shopkeeper on horseback suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

There was almost no rest along the way.

An old bone is almost broken.

"Go call the door."

Chen Yulou Tima walked to the mountain road outside the temple.

The door is closed at the moment.

I don't know if it is due to the influence of the unevenness on the lake in recent years, and the incense in the temple is obviously not enough.

glanced at Kunlun behind him, and commanded in a low voice.

But.

The voice fell.

A wisp of his divine sense had already shrouded the temple.

"Kunlun, no need, no one."

The temple was silent and unpopular, and it was clear that it had been abandoned for a long time.

"It shouldn't be, Miaozhu never leaves easily......"

Hearing this, the old shopkeeper still didn't believe it, and subconsciously explained for Miao Zhu.

"Just go in and see."

Chen Yulou shook his head, and while he was talking, he turned over and dismounted, and the person had already crossed the stone steps in a vertical stride, and walked straight to the door and stretched out his hand to push.

The Dragon King Temple is not that big.

There are two major halls before and after.

They are dedicated to the shrine and the idol of the deity.

A cloud of dust had accumulated on the ground, and it was clear that no one had been here for a long time.

The more the old shopkeeper looked at it, the more ugly his face became.

Because this place is so remote, the big guys worship the gods at home on weekdays, or carry incense to the lake.

But he never expected that the Dragon King Temple would be so desolate.

"Miaozhu lives in the backyard on weekdays, go there and look for it."

He wouldn't care about anything else.

Bypass the corridor under the gable wall of the back hall and head straight to the backyard.

It's just that.

When he hurriedly pushed open a door, he was greeted by a gloomy and musty smell.

"Kunlun, take people to scatter and look around."

Chen Yulou commanded in a low voice.

He himself walked straight into the room.

Gaze sweeps.

Except for a bed, table, chair and bench, the simplicity is somewhat surprising.

The windows around are tightly sealed, it is estimated that they have not been opened for many years, the door bolts have almost rusted to death, the dust is floating in the air, and the corners of the wooden beams are covered with cobwebs.

Looking at this posture, the temple Zhu Shao said that he had been running for more than two years.

Retract your gaze.

Chen Yulou's heart moved.

The divine consciousness in the Huangting Palace was intertwined, like a rain spreading towards the surroundings.

This is the residence of the temple, even if people leave, there will be some traces.

Consciousness shines like fire.

There was nothing to hide from all over the room.

"Huh?"

When his divine sense swept over the wall at the head of the bed, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, subconsciously opened his eyes, and walked straight towards that place under the stunned gaze of the old shopkeeper behind him.

Stretched out his hand and quietly slapped it out.

Click-

The originally heavy wall turned out to be like a hinge door, pushing straight in.

"This ......"

The old shopkeeper will be completely dumbfounded.

And Kunlun, who had no harvest around, had also rushed back, and when he saw this, he immediately took out the fire fold, blew it gently, the fire was ignited, and then raised it towards the door.

A puff of flame jumps.

Wait for the light of the fire to dispel the darkness around you.

The two stared intently.

only to find out that there was a hole behind the door.

It is clear that another group of temples has been built.

Not bad.

The Dragon King Temple was originally built by the mountain, the backyard wall is connected to the mountain, and the connection behind the door is a stone cave.

It's not a lot of space.

But the sparrows are small and have all the organs.

The stone walls in the cave are polished smooth as mirrors, and there are futons, stone platforms, shrines, fire ponds and ...... A statue of a god with a strange shape and a different style.

"Fire for me."

Chen Yulou has a pair of night eyes, and he can easily see through the black fog in the cave.

But as his gaze swept over the statue, there was a rare flash of solemnity, surprise, and disbelief.

Subconsciously took the fire fold from Kunlun's hand.

Strode through the cave and walked outside the shrine in the depths of the cave.

Look through the light of the fire.

It was clearly a strange snake with a human head and a long winged body.

His eyes were pitch black, and he didn't seem to have pupils.

Just stared at the two people who broke into the room.

Looking at each other, people can't help but feel like falling into an ice cave and shuddering.

"This ...... Quetzalcoatl?! ”

"The country of the West Pole, snake worshippers!"
