Chapter 3: The God in the Statue

Zhou Sheng's face was full of spring, and he walked down with vain steps.

The tall old Dao was already waiting for him downstairs, looking at Zhou Sheng's appearance, the old Dao smiled and said, "Apprentice, how does it feel, but you still have fun?"

Zhou Sheng smiled: "It's wonderful!"

"Okay, good, just have fun, go, come back to the inn with me to freshen up, and I will pass you on the mystical method as a teacher at night."

Zhou Sheng followed Lao Dao to the inn and lay on the bed for a while, while Lao Dao was talking about things with the monk. Lao Dao spoke, and the monk nodded and shook his head.

Feeling the cold and hard feeling of the scissors in his arms, Zhou Sheng's heart was a little bottom.

Night fell quickly, and Zhou Sheng was also called out by the old Tao, "Go, apprentice, preach for the teacher, choose a good place, the red dust in the city is too heavy, let's go outside the city!"

Zhou Sheng did not question it, or rather, it was useless for him to question it, but it might make Lao Dao turn his face in advance.

Zhou Sheng saw that the monk was carrying a cloth package and asked, "Master, what is your old friend carrying behind his back?"

"It's just sundries, don't talk about it!"

The three of them rushed to the city gate, which had already been closed, but when Lao Dao took out a golden waist card and showed it to the soldiers guarding the city, the city gate opened again.

Outside the dark city gate, the ground is covered with a layer of white snow, which shimmers gently in the moonlight, and has a unique beauty.

The three of them walked on the open ground, and there was silence all around, except for a few terrible beast roars and the whirring of the wind.

Zhou Sheng's body was weak and gradually exhausted, and when Lao Dao saw this, he directly carried him up.

A monk walked like a fly, leaving only two faint phantoms. A hare, which was looking for food in the snow, was startled by the two of them and ran wildly.

After traveling for three hours, Zhou Sheng silently estimated in his heart that he had to walk more than 100 kilometers, which was much faster than that of a horse. Looking at the two of them again, they were not in a hurry or panting, and their faces were not flushed or tired.

Ahead was a desolate mountain, waist-high weeds that could not even hold down the snow. When you climb the mountain, you will see a dilapidated Taoist temple in front of you.

The walls of the Taoist temple have collapsed, revealing the scene inside the courtyard, with an ancient well, an old tree, and a dilapidated dust......

Lao Dao sighed: "This is the White Cloud Temple, a hundred years ago it was also a Great Avenue View, the peak of the incense, the green smoke blocked the clouds. The pilgrims rubbed shoulders one after another, and the big bluestone on the stone steps were all stepped on one floor. It's a pity that it's now abandoned like this."

Zhou Sheng's eyes shrank slightly, and the white water view was famous at the beginning, but the first emperor requisitioned and mobilized the army in the name of disturbing the people's hearts and confusing the public with demons and demons. At that time, the Daomen was at its lowest point, and even a small Taoist priest had to be promulgated by the imperial court. However, after the death of the first emperor, due to the support of the current saints, the prosperity of the Daomen overwhelmed the families.

Even Buddhism, Confucianism, and soldiers can't compete with it openly.

......

Lao Dao put Zhou Sheng down and comforted: "Disciple, there is a great creation in it, and you need to take it out yourself." Once there, just close your eyes and sleep, and as soon as the day dawns, things ...... It's done with ......".

Zhou Sheng took a deep breath of cold air and squeezed out all the waste gas in his lungs.

"Haode, master, the apprentice is gone!"

A monk was watching outside, watching Zhou Sheng slowly walk in, looking at each other, with a hint of excitement.

When I entered the courtyard, it was quiet, and there was not a single sound. Quietly allows Zhou Sheng to hear his own heartbeat. The blood in the veins is flowing, providing nutrients throughout the body. His body couldn't help but tremble.

The unknown is the most terrifying, the dark hall, like the head of the devil, is opening its mouth wide, quietly waiting for the prey to come to the door, and then, a mouthful...... Eat......

Stepping on the snow and making a creaking sound, Zhou Sheng's courage erupted.

"I don't do bad things in my life, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night. I'm sending it to the ghost now, I don't know if the king of Hades will accept it, but unfortunately, I don't have anything long, otherwise I can bribe and bribe the little ghost and let it let me go......"

Push open the broken door of the hall and step into the dark hall.

The inside was very wide, and the wooden pillars that supported the roof were two or three meters thick, and there were marks of slashing with knives and axes. It used to be inlaid with gems and other things, but it has been plundered.

In the center of the main hall, there are three statues of gods as high as three zhang, which are the three Qing ancestors of the Daomen. The idol was preceded by an incense burner, and inside was a thick layer of ash.

Zhou Sheng sat on a tattered futon, leaning against a pillar with his back, and recited Buddhist scriptures to give himself courage.

......

Half an hour later, he suddenly opened his eyes, just now, he felt a pair of eyes watching him, that feeling, absolutely not wrong!

Looking around, it was dark, and there was not the slightest figure. At this moment, he looked at the most central statue, and he seemed to notice that the eyes of the idol shrank slightly, and the corners of the statue's mouth also showed a faint evil smile.

Zhou Sheng exclaimed in his heart: "Oh my God, what kind of sin have I done. This idol is psychic, and the dog Taoist is using me as bait!"

Zhou Sheng fell asleep, he had to fight for his life, and the gods in the legend idol could appear in dreams. Since the old way let himself sleep, they must have follow-up preparations, tonight, it will not be peaceful......

In my sleep, it was pitch black, and my ignorant consciousness was wandering tirelessly. At this moment, the light cut through the darkness, and a three-zhang tall golden-armored god man stood in front of Zhou Sheng's consciousness.

This god's whole body was shrouded in golden light, a golden chain armor, three heads and six arms, and three faces were exactly the appearance of Sanqing. Facing the head in front of him, he held a golden spear in his hand, which was majestic. On the other two sides, one is a golden sword, the size of a door panel. One is a bow and arrow, which carries a dragon pattern engraved on it.

The Jinjia God shouted, "Who are you waiting for, why don't you bow down when you see this god!"

Zhou Sheng also said confidently: "Why do I kneel to you? I kneel to heaven and earth to my parents, I don't believe in Buddhism, I don't believe in Taoism, I only believe in my own heart." The little hairy god is so bold and rude, and he doesn't want to quit quickly."

"Bold, the wrath of this god is not something that mortals like you can bear. Bow down to me, believe in me sincerely, and God will give you wealth and glory!"

Zhou Sheng's face remained unchanged, and he scolded: "Mao Shen, don't get out quickly." Your Taoist temple has collapsed, how can there be any power of incense. You've been hungry for so many years, Liliang must be extremely weak. Someone is going to deal with you now, so don't go out and deal with them yet!".

The three faces of the Golden Armor Divine Man were all roaring angrily, venting their anger, and Zhou Sheng's consciousness was forced to tremble by this power, but his body was straight.

"It's all to blame on that dog emperor, who killed the god's most pious people and starved the god for so many years. When the god liliang is strong, which one dares to provoke. Not to mention the two little ants outside the view, even if they are a thousand times more powerful than them, they are not the opponents of this god."

The face on the left also spoke, "Boss, don't say it, let this kid provide incense, I'm dying of hunger!"

"Shut up, I'm hungry too. We are all the same belly, if you are hungry, am I not hungry!"

The three heads, the three consciousnesses, all roared in unison, "Mortals, bow down, believe, this god needs your incense." This god sees that you are a scholar, and you are a good material with just the right thoughts, and the power of the incense produced is also very delicious, unlike those beasts and birds that do not know how to educate, stupid and stupid, and the incense is mixed......"

The face on the right also spoke separately and persuaded: "Mortal, bow down." Don't expect those two little bugs outside, they can't save you, our liliang, it's not something you mortals can imagine. Those two sent you in, and they had no intention of letting you out alive."

When Zhou Sheng heard the admonition of this god, he was not surprised but rejoiced, hahadaxiao.

"The more anxious you are to make me believe in you, the more it shows that your liliang is too weak to support it. When I'm a fool, I don't want to get out of here and deal with those two bastards. And what do I have to spit here......"

Zhou Sheng only believes in himself, he will not believe in others. Then the mind will be shackled, and it will not be ...... Myself. If there are other aspects that can be discussed, such as praying and praying for this god to make yourself promoted and rich, then the god will return a part of the liliang and fulfill his wish, which is a transaction, not a faith.

The essence of the two sides is not the same. Transactions, both parties are reciprocal. And faith, so to speak, became the son of this god.

Back then, the people worshipped him and provided him with incense, which was also a transaction, but some people's thoughts were not pure, and the incense was also very mixed, and the god basically didn't pay much attention to it.

There is a qualitative difference between a devout belief and the incense that comes from the transaction.

"Mortal, this god is angry, and you will bear the wrath of this god. Although my Liliang has been weakened to the extreme, it is enough to crush you ten thousand times, and I can let you die at will!"

Zhou Sheng's face was straight, and he patted his chest and said, "You come, come, spend liliang to kill me, I'll see how you deal with those two bastards!"

At this moment, the golden armor god man trembled, and the left face said urgently: "Boss, it's not good, those two little insects have done it." Destroy this kid with your own hands, he doesn't know how to believe in us!"

The face in the middle shouted angrily: "Don't care about him anymore, he is not important, we don't have many liliang." Hurry back, second, third, this time there is danger, you two don't pull me back, otherwise don't blame the eldest brother for being polite......"

"Boss, no matter what you say, we are all a family, at this time, of course, we must unanimously fight against the enemy."

The golden armor god swiped and disappeared into Zhou Sheng's dream. Zhou Sheng, who was sleeping, his tightened brows relaxed slightly.

His consciousness pondered for a while, the natural disaster had passed, and the next thing was the man-made disaster. There must be a big battle between the Jinjia Divine Man and the Monk Dao. No matter which side wins, they will not let themselves go. Since Lao Dao let himself in, he definitely has no intention of letting himself out alive, and he will probably kill himself casually.

"My only chance is for them to lose and fall together, which is very small, but ...... But it is my Zuihou difficulty, after this pass, my road to heaven will come, the essence of the gods, and the wealth of the monks, enough for me to squander, and step into the mystical shijie ......".

"I can't get over, my soul is gone. Fight, whether it's a dragon or a worm, it depends on this time. It's done, turn into a butterfly, soar for nine days, lose, a cheap life, don't do it!"

Zhou Sheng's blood came up, and he dared to stab the emperor. Sometimes, Zhou Sheng's personality is not like a Confucian scholar, but more like a chivalrous man with a sword.

"If you are willing to lose your body, I will pull off the horse of the emperor, let alone you!"

In his sleep, Zhou Sheng made up his mind and decided to do this big ticket, and eat and drink spicy food in the future. He woke up slowly, slowly opening his eyes.
