After all, Yi Zixuan had been to Tianyang City with Lin Zhan once, and he had seen more people than in front of him, so after being surprised, his face returned to normal.

And Mu Zhiqian is not to mention.

The only ones who were pleasantly surprised were Liu Chengfeng and Lin Yi.

I saw the two of them looking around, and saw many strange but interesting things all placed on small stalls, as well as candy people in the bazaar, ore sellers, herb sellers, and beast materials, and countless others.

Dangdang!

As they were about to walk out of the bazaar, the sound of gongs and drums was heard, attracting the attention of the two men.

"Fathers and fellow villagers, the father and daughter are from Fengyang City, only because of the middle of the family road and the victimization of the enemy, they have fallen into a foreign land, and they are still adrift ······."

A middle-aged man's voice sounded, and he paused when he said this, and then continued: "Passing through your land, one is not famous, and the other is not seeking wealth, just because the little girl is already in her prime, although she was born beautiful, but she has not yet been allowed to match others, so she is here to fight, compete and recruit relatives, and is willing to find a good match with good character and cultivation, and entrust her with lifelong ······."

Lin Yi's face was happy, and when he saw that it was very lively in front of him, he stopped and went in to watch.

When Yi Zixuan heard this voice, he also stopped, and looked at the ring with a smile, which was overcrowded and crowded, Lin Yi was slender and not tall, so he couldn't squeeze in at all, he couldn't see it, and he was sulking on the side.

Liu Chengfeng grew tall, found a good position, and was watching with relish, and looked back at Lin Yi from time to time, with a smug look on his face.

"The father and daughter in Fengyang City have come to compete again. Having said that, the last time they recruited relatives in Tianyang City three months ago, could it be that after three months, they haven't even recruited a son-in-law?"

"Let's go, ride the wind, Xiao Yi, I'll sacrifice to the water god first. Mu Zhiqian said.

"Oh. ”

"It's coming. ”

After the market, there is a dense forest in front of you.

There were no insects and birds in the dense forest, only the sound of rushing water, Yi Zixuan and his party of four walked through the woods, and they could vaguely see a temple not far ahead.

"Sir, why do people sacrifice to the god of water?"

Yi Zixuan looked at the temple from afar, and was thinking of this thought in his heart, so he heard Lin Yi ask.

"Since ancient times, Nanyu Dao has been empty of the name of Qingzhou, but there are few caves and blessed places for cultivators to open sects, and the strong are extremely rare, and they are respected by the Huang Ting Realm.

Moreover, Nanyudao is close to the Moon Mountain Range, the vast mountains and forests are vast, and there are countless monsters and fierce birds, and most of the people in Nanyudao gather into villages on the banks of the Chu River, or hunt and cultivate, or support rafts to and fro, and there are all kinds of wild history and legends, which emerge in endlessly, so they have a special emotion for Chu Jiang, so they often worship the god of water. Mu Zhiqian said eloquently.

On the side of the temple, there is a clear mountain stream flowing slowly, and the stream water hits the black stones, and the white water splashes and makes a loud noise.

At the same time, there are also noisy human voices coming from outside the temple.

When he got closer, Yi Zixuan suddenly found that this water temple was very strange.

The temple seemed to be in disrepair and looked a little dilapidated, with some cobwebs hanging from the corners of the eaves, and black tiles covered with fish scales, and a few tiles were broken, from where the sun shone in.

The thick main beam resembles the backbone of a fish, faintly fluorescent, and the other trabeculae also seem to be made of bone.

He stopped in front of the temple and looked at the arched temple door, which, no matter how he looked at it, felt like it was made of fish mouth bones.

Many people were like them, standing outside the temple, and some of the older people were talking to the younger ones with solemn expressions, as if they were taboo about something.

The voices of the people are full of voices and surging like a tide.

No matter how you look at it, it's a little strange.

"Sir, why is this water temple so dilapidated? Since there are people who come to worship all the time, isn't there anyone who has spent some effort to repair it?" Yi Zixuan looked left and right, and couldn't help asking.

"It's not that there isn't, it's that it can't. ”

"What do you mean, sir?"

Mu Zhiqian looked at the large cobwebs under the corner of the eaves, and said seriously: "I don't know when and who built this water temple, no one knows, and there has never been a record in an ancient book.

At first, someone accidentally strayed into this small island in the river and found that the temple was dilapidated and badly damaged, so he invited people from the village to come and repair it together. However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't destroy a single stone or brick here, nor could they add a single brick or tile to the temple, as if there was a strange and invisible force guarding this place, so ordinary people couldn't do anything about it.

What's even more terrifying is that all those who deliberately destroy or repair this temple are like suffering a curse, and they all go retrograde the next day, go mad and die, the pain is extreme, and the death is miserable, difficult to look at, and there is even a real powerhouse in the Huang Ting Realm. ”

"It's so terrifying!" Liu Chengfeng's face turned pale, and he said carefully: "Sir, let's go in like this, what if we accidentally break some rotten wood?"

Lin Yi also nodded, expressing concern.

"It doesn't matter. Mu Zhiqian shook his head and said with a faint smile: "After the incident, people were panicked for a while, and some people thought like you at that time, but later they found that after entering the temple, as long as the heart remains normal and the thoughts are pure, they will not suffer a curse." ”

Therefore, it was later proposed to name this place the Water Temple, and on the fifteenth day of the new year, the villages within a radius of thousands of miles would take turns to sacrifice three animals and six animals to express their awe. ”

"I see. Yi Zixuan was thoughtful.

"Let's go inside. ”

Mu Zhiqian stepped in first, Yi Zixuan didn't think about it, and followed closely.

Liu Chengfeng and Lin Yi looked at the Water Temple, and suddenly felt a little chill in their bodies, for fear that they would anger the gods in the underworld by standing for too long, so they didn't dare to delay, and immediately entered the Water Temple.

Entering the water temple, the noise outside the temple suddenly disappeared, as if the cicadas chirping in summer suddenly fell asleep, and even the air was quiet, and the bamboo incense and green smoke handed over by the old man at the door curled, Yi Zixuan hurriedly took it, and then looked at the scene in the temple.

The temple is flanked by several dilapidated and decaying wooden windows, mostly hung with cobwebs and covered with dust, facing the Chu River outside the island.

And the main hall enshrines a statue of a god, like engraved traces of the years, full of mottled traces, than the stone statue cloth robe, holding a dark black stone staff in the right hand, the face has been a little blurred, but the eyes seem to be staring at the surging river outside the temple, as if there is attachment, the carving is very expressive, lifelike.

There are a lot of people in the temple, but no one whispers, especially the dozen or so people standing in front of the statue, standing in front of the statue three feet and six feet very particularly, there is a huge incense burner in front of everyone, which is full of bamboo incense, and the strange sandalwood fragrance permeates the temple, brewing a very special atmosphere.

They were sacrificing three animals and six animals, the scene was solemn, and everyone's face was very solemn and solemn.

Yi Zixuan stepped forward with Mu Zhiqian, learned his movements, clamped the bamboo incense with his thumb and index finger, closed the remaining three fingers, raised the bamboo incense with both hands to the level of his eyebrows, and then carefully put it into the incense burner, and then took a few steps backwards before turning around.

And when he turned around, he just inadvertently glanced at the idol twice, but he almost jumped in fright.

The eyes of the statue of the god of water carved out of stone suddenly rolled, and then looked at him strangely.

His heart was cold, as if there was a slender and slippery poisonous snake swimming under his back clothes, the terrifying touch was extremely real, although there was warm sunlight in the temple, Yi Zixuan felt as if he was in the dark.

Horror, despair, dazed......

Lowering his head, Yi Zixuan subconsciously touched his back, and groped up and down with his right hand, but he didn't touch anything.

Looking back, he saw that the statue of the water god was staring out of the temple, motionless, looking at him at all.

"Could it be just my delusion?"

A breeze blew gently, and Yi Zixuan couldn't help but shiver, and only then did he realize that he had already broken out in a cold sweat.
