Chapter 199: The Stench

"There is indeed a temple on Yiwei Street, called 'Chastity Niangniang Temple', which has been built for hundreds of years. It is said that there was a woman who seemed to be a child bride. But her husband died young, and she kept her chastity all her life and never married. After the deeds were spread, the government felt his loyalty, so they built such a temple and enshrined it, so that she could enjoy the incense ......"

In the inn, after the idle shopkeeper got ten dollars, he talked about it 1510.

Chen Tang listened carefully, and his heart was a little abrupt. In this world, there are demons and evil spirits, but there seem to be no gods. If you have to say that there is, those who have achieved cultivation can probably be called "land immortals".

However, on the banks of rivers and mountains, there are often river temples and mountain temples, and in the city government, there are also city god temples, as well as some scattered and multi-named local temples.

It is said that in some places in the south of the Yangtze River, the god of Wutong is worshipped, thinking that it is the god of wealth, and there are many people who worship sincerely.

These involve faith choices and are inherently faulty and problematic.

But in the last years of the dynasty, there were terrors that were about to move, and many ominous occurrences occurred, which caused some kind of treacherous mutation in the earth, thus causing trouble.

At the beginning of Panzhou Mansion, Chen Tang and Wang Fu went to return to God, and in the temple of Nashan, they almost gave their lives.

That encounter made Chen Tang remember it vividly. Now there's another weirdness that seems to be closely related to a temple.

So, is there a pattern between the two?

Zhan Yangchun said that Yin Si Difu is the head of the evil in the world, but it does not mean that Yin Si represents all evil spirits.

Two different things entirely.

In fact, the yin itself is a loosely structured behemoth. How to say, according to Zhan Yangchun's description, the underworld has its own world, but the world is not unified, and it seems quite chaotic and complicated.

Chen Tang's contact with the Yin Si forces lies in the conflict with Song Siming. However, what Song Siming did was probably just his individual will.

This point needs to be clearly distinguished.

The evil incident in Yishan County, Chen Tang also did not associate it with Yin Si.

What he wanted to find out was whether the deities who received the incense offerings would be more likely to awaken, or would they be tainted and distorted, and become evil.

The theory of gods and ghosts has always been closely related and belongs to the concept of blurred boundaries. Just like people, it is difficult to have absolute good and bad people.

If the earth is corroded by yin qi and turns into an evil spirit, it is really not trivial. After all, many temples are worshipped, and the years of enjoying incense are often very long. If it is a disaster, the harm is naturally great, far beyond those lonely souls and wild ghosts.

Of course, it doesn't mean that all the lands will mutate, but there are related risk factors that need to be guarded against.

Previously, Chen Tang wanted to go to that temple to observe, but there was a yacha to close the venue, so in order to avoid trouble, he returned to the inn first. If Chen Tang reveals his identity, he may become a guest of the Yamen of Yishan County, but in that case, his identity is different, far less free than now.

This is also one of the reasons why he is too lazy to go to the post station to make a point, once he is named there, he can't hide it, and someone will soon come to visit and greet him.

Chen Tang decided to go to Yiwei Street again tonight and break into the Chaste Niangniang Temple.

"Lazy tired, there are guests coming, and they don't go up to say hello!"

At this time, the innkeeper scolded, but he scolded the little two.

This little second is usually not less scolded, and he is used to it, so he arched his hand towards Chen Tang, walked over, and said with a smile: "This Taoist chief, do you want to eat or stay." ”

In front of the two visitors was a Taoist chief, with a thin body, a wooden complexion, and a short beard, followed by a tall man, wearing a Taoist robe and a big felt hat, covering his face, and he could not see what he looked like.

"Eat. ”

The thin road chief said.

"Okay, please be seated. ”

The shopkeeper greeted warmly.

Over there, Chen Tang glanced over curiously, and saw that after the Taoist sat down, a tall man wearing a felt hat was behind him, motionless. Observing the way he walked, he seemed quite stiff and mechanical, as if he had arthritis.

Chen Tang touched his chin, showed a thoughtful look, turned his head and ordered, "Ah Bao, you go and help Ah Lai, help you get things." ”

Su Ling took Ah Hua and Ah Lai, and also went out early in the morning to buy a batch of things, including daily necessities, ingredients, etc., ready to eat on the road.

"Good. ”

Po got the order and went out to find someone.

It was still early, and there was nothing to do, so Chen Tang went to the backyard and led the rouge horse out, looking for an open place to practice.

Before leaving Panzhou Mansion, he didn't actually know how to ride a horse. Equestrianism is not an easy skill, and it is not as easy as it seems. It takes consistent training to be able to control it with ease. Otherwise, once the mount is speeding, it will be uncontrollable, and if you are not careful, you will fall off the horse, and you will be happy and sad.

On the road, when he had free time, Chen Tang rode a rouge horse and ran for a while, feeling the pleasure and refreshment of galloping the rivers and lakes.

In modern society, horses have gradually withered, and many functions have better alternatives. In their free time, it is difficult for ordinary people to ride horses.

Saddle the horse, put on the chew and the like. During the whole process, the horse demon was extremely docile, and he also leaned over and rubbed Chen Tang affectionately.

"Good ......"

Chen Tang patted the horse's back with a smile, led him out, and came to the front door of the inn.

"Childe, walk the horse!"

At this time, Su Ling and the others came back.

Chen Tang nodded and said, "I'll ride for a while, Ah Ling, you stay in the room and don't run around." ”

"Hmm. ”

Su Ling obediently answered and went upstairs with his things.

"Yu!"

The rouge horse chirped, looking impatient.

Inside the inn, the strange man standing behind the Taoist seemed to sense something extremely interesting and looked up sharply.

"Don't move!"

The Taoist sensed his change, shouted in a low voice, and quietly pinched out a magic trick with his left hand.

The weirdo was held down, gasping for air. The steps that had been taken were slowly retracted.

"Dao Chief, your fried tofu!"

The shopkeeper walked over with a plate of dishes with a smile, but when he arrived, he smelled a foul smell, and he almost turned over his internal organs. He quickly covered his nose with one hand and looked at it in disbelief, trying to figure out where the stench came from.

The Taoist stood up suddenly, flicked his sleeves, reached out and took out three coins, and threw them on the table: "No need to look for it." ”

So saying, he went out, and the strange man followed him.

It's strange to say that after being brushed by the Taoist, the unpleasant stench dissipated at once.

The shopkeeper scratched his head and muttered, "What's the matter? Could it be that there are dead rats in the store......?"
