Chapter 51 Jiujiang City God (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation)
The smoke and dust were billowing non-stop, and Zhou Bai hurried overnight in order to verify the guess in his heart, and finally left the territory of Huangshi the next day.
Sure enough, Jiujiang, which is separated from Huangshi by a river, has no so-called "Eastward Journey School".
This place is the place where the tributaries of the nine veins will meet and the big river, so it is called the Jiujiang River, the prosperity of Cao Yun should be the head of the south of the Yangtze River, and the business road should be the basis of information circulation.
As soon as Zhou Bai arrived in Jiujiang, he planned to visit the local city god, but asked passers-by but found that there was no city god temple here, and the people went to the river temple by the river every day to worship and burn incense.
Hundreds of miles of different canals, ten miles to change the rules. Following the guidance of the villagers, Zhou Bai drove along the riverside path to the Hebo Temple. Before I could see the temple gate, the way was blocked by a dense crowd. The path was too narrow, and the carriage could not pass, so Zhou Bai and Hongyu could only choose to dismount and walk.
"This Hebo has some means. Zhou Bai looked at the pious people next to him, turned back to Hongyu and said. "The roads are narrow, cars and horses are impassable, so no matter who you are, you have to dismount and walk. Shinto is long, and the surrounding people are pious, and in such an environment, I am afraid that ordinary people will not help but feel awe. ”
"I don't like it. Ruby said. She was one of the few people standing at the top of the cultivation world, and it made her unhappy to see a small city god actually being so manipulated by her. When she first came to Jiujiang, she had already tested this place with sword intent, but she was like a mud cow entering the sea and did not respond. If it weren't for the fear that Zhou Bai would be dissatisfied, she would have leveled this small Hebo Temple with a sword.
Zhou Bai's eyes flashed, "I am a mortal scholar, God is a man, I should walk to see the saint." You don't have to be like me if you are a cultivator, you might as well go to the temple and wait for me first. How?"
"What's the idea?" said Ruby, sneering.
"I had a bad feeling. Zhou Bai hesitated, "I'm not sure for the time being." When you see Hebo, everything will be clear. ”
"Good. Then I'll go first. The red jade disappeared in an instant, and the passers-by next to her suddenly didn't know, even Zhou Bai didn't notice how the red jade left.
Since he got Xuanxiao's sword cultivation duel, Hongyu's cultivation growth has been too amazing. Zhou Bai couldn't help but say secretly.
Although it was already autumn and cool, there were too many pedestrians on the path, and the stuffiness made Zhou Bai feel sweaty like rain, the road was getting wider and wider, and Zhou Bai's heart should be about to arrive.
Sure enough, Zhou Bai, who squeezed out of the crowd, felt that his surroundings were empty, and he had come to a huge platform, with bluestone paving and green trees. Good means, worthy of Jiujiang Hebo, actually transplanted a few big banyan trees on the river dam in order to give the people coolness, relying on incense and spiritual power to irrigate the perennial green without withering.
Although it is a temple in front of him, it is majestic and abnormal, hidden by humane will, and does not know the temple itself until the platform here. Zhou Bai also had no intention of breaking the opponent's spell with Haoran righteousness, so he hadn't seen the temple gate before, and he said that the temple was too small and hidden in the crowd.
The temple is three storeys high, and the exterior is cast with white stone glazed base, which is not afraid of water and fire. The two strange beasts at the door that Zhou Bai couldn't recognize were vivid, and they should be completed by skilled craftsmen.
There are 30 layers of stone blue steps, and 19 white jade steps, and the number of seven or seven perfections is taken.
Zhou Bai was about to step forward, only to see a young man in a dark blue robe greet him with a wry smile.
"I really didn't know that Mr. Zhou was coming, and the little god Jiujiang Ao Xing really neglected Mr. The annoyed tone and innocent expression almost made Zhou Bai believe it.
"It doesn't matter. It's bothering Hebo. Zhou Bai replied with a touched face, holding Ao Xing's hand and not letting go. "I didn't expect Jiujiang Hebo to go out to greet him in person, and he was really flattered and flattered. ”
The corners of Ao Xing's mouth twitched, you were flattered Why did you let that evil star arrive first.
The two exchanged a few polite words, and Hebo led Zhou Bai to the third floor of the temple.
Zhou Bai Road found that the first floor of this place is the Hebo Temple, and the second floor is the City God Temple. Puzzled, Ao Xing looked at Zhou Bai's expression, and said with a smile, "The people here all rely on this place where the nine rivers converge to live, and they don't believe in the city god, but the city god is the god of heaven and earth, and it is indispensable, so the little god has no choice but to temporarily take the position of the city god." ”
No wonder it seems to be sleek and arrogant, it turns out that he is proud because of his dual career.
Zhou Bai smirked and complimented.
As soon as you enter the third floor, it is like reversing time and space. The two actually returned to the Hebo Temple on the first floor, and the difference from the first floor was that there were no believers who had come and go. There was only a woman in red and a table full of empty teapots......
Zhou Bai quietly glanced at Ao Xing and found that he didn't have the slightest pity. Thinking back to the Chenghuang I had seen before, they regarded the incense fire spirit tea as a treasure one by one, and this dual-career incense was prosperous, and he didn't care about these things.
Hongyu glanced up at Zhou Bai and pointed to the seat next to her, her eyes seemed to say: Oh, you are here, the seat reserved for you.
After taking a seat, Zhou Bai carefully observed the seemingly sunny and cheerful "young" Hebo. The face is as white as jade, the eyebrows are slender, and the eyes are like snake pupils but there is no yin, as if a kind of warm qi is conceived in it. There is a smile on the corner of the mouth, which seems to be close but faintly rejects people. The forehead is bulging, like the first growth of deer antler velvet.
Since Ao is already a surname, with a single horn on his head, he should be a dragon family. Now that the Jiaolong has long since declined, all the Jiao in the wild have been rounded up by various sects, either refining medicine or enslavement.
I'm afraid that this one will survive after going through hardships and finally turning to Shinto, right?
"Hebo, I came here this time to inquire about something. Zhou Bai broke the silence of the hall and spoke.
"Mr. Zhou, please say something, this god naturally knows everything. Ao Xing put down the teacup and twisted his index finger lightly with his thumb.
Since there are habitual movements, the dialogue has a counterpoint that can be judged. Zhou Bai noticed Ao Xing's movements, glanced at it and stopped looking at it.
"I came from Yellowstone and found that there was a cultivation sect called the 'Dongyou School' around Yellowstone, attracting mortals everywhere to go overseas to find immortal fate. I wonder if Hebo has ever heard of this sect?"
"Oh~" Ao Xing paused for a moment, his thumb non-stop. "Huangshi seems to be under the jurisdiction of Jiangcheng, and I am friends with Jiangchenghuang, haven't I heard him say it?"
"Dongyou faction?" Ao Xing frowned and thought for a while and said hesitantly, "It seems that I have a vague impression, eight hundred years ago, before this god took up the post of Hebo, when I traveled in the north, I seemed to have heard vaguely, but because I didn't care about it at the time, the specific situation, this god is unknown." ”
Zhou Bai remembered the word. Then he asked, "Then why didn't they come to Jiujiang?"
"Haha, how does this god know? Maybe it's because the people of Jiujiang all believe in Hebo, not Taoists, right?!" Ao Xing laughed.
Zhou Bai stared straight into Ao Xing's eyes, and after a while, he said, "I see." bothered Hebo, and said goodbye in the next. ”
"It's okay, Mr. only needs to send a message to this kind of thing, and the god can tell him, why should Mr. be so troublesome. ”
"Hehe~ If you pass the letter, where will you have the opportunity to see the style of Jiujiang Hebo. Zhou Bai said with a smile.
persuaded Hebo not to send each other, Zhou Bai and Hongyu left Hebo Temple.
Warm, polite, I don't know.
This Ao Xing is deeply rooted in the essence of officialdom. Zhou Bai couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"What are you laughing at?" Hongyu asked, giving Zu Zhou white face in front of the living people, and listened to the command without interjecting. But when there are two people, they like to ask non-stop.
"I'm laughing at myself. Even Brother Shen came out to help me, and I still circled around the same place and went back into the pit. Zhou Bai said helplessly.
Jing Chu was like a whirlpool, obviously he had come to the edge, but he made a mistake and fell back in.
