Chapter 345: Demolition of its ancestral hall
More than ten miles outside the city, there is a mountain that is not a mound, I don't know how to build a water shrine, dedicated to a nearby people do not know the origin of the water god.
Or maybe I still knew that after the Water Temple was cold, it was gradually forgotten by the people, and I only knew that it was the Water Temple.
Originally, the incense was not vigorous, and only occasionally some people went to worship, but a while ago suddenly appeared, this news made people suspicious, and the incense was more.
But recently, I don't know why, suddenly a lot of pilgrims came.
"It wasn't the god of water who appeared last time, it was the god of locusts!"
It's just that those who have a heart only need to inquire a little to know that they come here to burn incense and worship, and they are not aiming at the water god offered in the main hall, but the locust god who stands in the side hall at some point.
The newly built side hall, although the area is not as large as the main hall, but much more luxurious, it is paved with a large piece of stone bricks of the same color, the wood inside and outside the hall are all good materials to choose, although it is not as good as the real ancestral hall Taoist temple, but in this small place, it is already quite good.
It is not a locust god inside, because locusts are often swarms, so here is an offering of a row of more than a dozen evil-faced gods that look like people and non-human people.
They are all carved with good stones, lifelike, standing in the hall, in the misty cigarette smoke, at first glance, strange shapes, terrifying very, not to say that it is scared to cry children, adults will be startled when they see it.
But the more this happens, the more awe it makes those who come in even more awe.
"You son of a, kneel down and plead guilty to the locust god, if you offend the locust god, our crops will be eaten!" An old couple pushed a young man in, forced him to kneel, and asked him to kowtow to the locust god.
The young man's expression was a little resistant, and after being slammed down, he hesitated for a moment, and finally because the prestige of the locust god gradually spread, he also muttered a little in his heart, and kowtowed a few heads to it obediently.
"Is the locust god really spiritual?" someone muttered secretly.
"Whether the spirit is spiritual or not, there is nothing wrong with worshipping. ”
"Grandpa Locust God, please send locust soldiers and locusts to go elsewhere!" As soon as some people came in one after another, they knocked down, and their foreheads were blue, indicating that they had been plagued by locusts.
In this way, there are actually many people who were disrespectful because of their unbelief before, but as more and more people around them believe, some of these people are either afraid of themselves or forced by their families to make amends for the locusts.
The incense was lit one by one, accompanied by the sound of murmuring, making this side hall more fragrant than the main hall, more like the god of worship in this ancestral hall.
After mid-afternoon, the locust temple closes and does not open again until the next day.
The last few pilgrims who left, under the urging of the shrine here, respectfully bowed to the locust idol again a few times, and then went out cautiously and closed the door casually.
As the footsteps outside the door went away, there were more than a dozen points of light on the statue of the god on the stage, which fell directly to the center of the hall, and then quickly rose up and turned into a human form.
The group wore black robes, both men and women, some covering their faces with masks, others revealing faces that were outstanding in humans.
The corners of his eyes were slightly raised, and there was a little redness, and there were some male and female demons, who glanced at the hall that had just been far away from the noise, and sighed at this time.
"Hey, it's just a little trick to make these fools and fools convinced of the existence of the locust god, and even the scholar who borrowed the back inlay was frightened by us, the little locust is even more famous than the real demon, if this thing was said before, who would believe it?"
A black-faced demon also had a complicated mood and said: "Yes, although there have been locust plagues in this world, but at this time and that time, at the beginning, our demon clan was famous, and even the emperor of the human race had to give three points, so why did we have to do things in the name of locusts? But now...... But now, we have been reduced to this place by waiting for the great demon of the past!"
But there are also demons who persuade: "You two are also great demons who have been practicing for hundreds of years, and you can think more openly, how can you learn some sour Confucianism from human beings?"
"Our demon clan does things, what we pay attention to is the result, and what we fight for is strength, which can stir up the wind and clouds and make the human court anxious, this is also strength!"
"Using the name of the locust god to make trouble, this is just a ploy, why do you still take it seriously?"
"The plan now is to discuss, what to do next, with the power of the locust god, we can finally operate and force the government to leave according to our plan!"
"Unfortunately, the impact is still limited. ”
A big demon sighed: "If only there really were locust gods, we can only influence it slightly now, so that the locust swarms will concentrate in a few counties with water shrines." ”
But then he was complacent: "However, even if this is the case, we can force the affected believers to establish a locust god in the side hall of the water temple, and the gentry under the influence of you and me will also take the opportunity to contribute money and efforts, and we will achieve our goal faster than our previous plan." ”
"The locusts will definitely break out in half a month, as long as we create public opinion, we can go further and replace the dragon lady with the locust god in one fell swoop. ”
"Without the Water Temple, what should I do if I see the Dragon Maiden?"
The big demon who had a flush like rouge in the corners of his eyes was silent, and when he heard this, he said: "There is really a locust god, we really don't have to be so cautious. ”
"It's a pity that locusts have too short a life to become a demon. Unless you encounter a once-in-a-century opportunity. ”
"But when the emperor will descend, even the most capable demon of our demon clan can't calculate. After all, this is too much involved, and there must be a cover-up. ”
"I heard that back then, the Dragon Monarch could rain nectar from the sky and ignite monsters, if there were locust demons, we would be able to counterattack humans. ”
The black-faced demon sneered, and was not angry: "But the Dragon Monarch doesn't dare to ignite the locust demon, otherwise, the human government will not accept it, and thousands of locust demons will attack, and there will be no food immediately!"
"The last time the Dragon Palace woke up, it is said that hundreds of water demons were ignited at once...... It's a pity that the dragon girl has gone one step further and has betrayed our demon clan, and it is impossible for her to help us!"
"Besides, even if she wants to turn back now and has betrayed, we can't believe her! As a dragon girl, she should have helped the demon clan and worked hard for the revitalization of the demon clan, but now it's really hateful, we are going to demolish its ancestral hall this time, so that she loses her faith first!"
Without faith, the so-called water god is just a powerful water demon.
At that point, everyone is a demon, who is more noble than whom?
But when the black-faced demon said this, the little demon behind him trembled a little and did not speak.
There are also monsters who said fairly: "I heard that Longjun's ignition has limitations, and he can only ignite the water demon, but not the land demon." ”
"Who knows if it's true?"
The monsters quarreled, and at that moment, as a light lit up, a man who was also wearing a black robe with half of his face turned around.
The demon clan identity clan, especially some special demons, rely on breath and strength, not face.
So even though these demons at the scene looked a little unfamiliar with the man with his eyes at first glance, they immediately recognized who it was.
"Heavenly Monster, have you changed your face again?"
"It's me!" I saw the Heavenly Machine Demon pull the mask down, revealing a haggard face, and a pair of eyes were also covered with red silk, which was indeed Chu Gurong's face.
