Chapter 411: Nuwa Temple
Chapter 411: Nuwa Temple
The beautiful scenery of Dali in Yunnan has always been famous,
The so-called "Shangguan wind blows down the flowers, and the moon in Erhai Lake reflects the snow in the mountains", which is the four famous scenery of "wind, flowers, snow and moon" in Nanzhao. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but, the closer they get to Dali, everyone only feels the hot wind blowing on their faces, the sand covers the sky, and there is a kind of dry air in the air, which makes people feel a slight stinging pain even when they breathe.
As far as the eye can see, except for a large area of withered yellow, intermittently dotted with sporadic greenery, it is lifeless, it is really hard to imagine that such a place can also live.
"This ..... How could this be", seeing this, Zhao Ling'er suddenly lost her face, and couldn't help muttering,
Anu couldn't help but look up at the blue sky and sighed, "Alas...... I wonder when it's going to rain?"
Li Xiaoyao said, "I heard that Yunnan is not only rainy, but also has many rivers and rivers, even if it does not rain for a long time, there is still snow on the mountains, and surging wells, how did it become what it is today?"
Anu said, "Half of the snow on the mountain has melted into the ground, the river can still flow two years ago, but it has gradually dried up recently, and it has not rained for nine years, and no matter how much water there is, it will run out!"
"No rain in nine years?" Li Xiaoyao said in surprise.
"That'...... How can I plant without water?"
Anu smiled bitterly, "Who cares about planting, if you don't even have water to drink, then everyone will die." ”
"Now there is still a well left in Dali City with water, and my mother has prescribed the method of distribution, and everyone can hold on for a while. When the well is dry, you will either die here, or you will abandon your home and flee to another place, and you will become homeless. ”
Lin Yu was silent, among all the people, only he knew that all this was more than ten years ago, Li Xiaoyao's father Li Sansi went to Miao Jiang to steal the Miao holy artifact Poison Dragon in order to expel poison and heal Huangfu Eagle, but by the way, he also stole the holy artifact Water Spirit Bead that has been passed down from generation to generation in Miao Jiang.
Because of this, Nanzhao fell into a great drought, and Li Sansi was cursed by the Black Miao Wizard because of this, and finally died.
"Water Spirit Bead, if there is a Water Spirit Bead, there is a way," Zhao Ling'er couldn't help but say,
"But the Water Spirit Bead has been lost for more than ten years, where can I find it," Anu sighed.
"I have a way,"
When the time came, Lin Yu spoke up, "As long as Anu can take us to Nuwa Niangniang's temple, I will have a way to retrieve the Water Spirit Bead." ”
"Really, great, you guys come with me,"
As he spoke, Anu picked up his light skills and ran north, and when everyone saw this, they hurriedly followed.
At this time, several women with water urns on their backs came to the avenue, and when they saw Anu, they retreated to the side of the road, and called Anu a few times with a smile, and Anu also responded to them, they looked haggard, and their hair was scattered, which showed that life was hard, but they were still smiling, and it was more evident that the people here were gentle and kind, and they would fight a decisive battle with outsiders, and they must be a last resort.
Seeing that everyone was a little puzzled, Anu explained, "These are all people who have come to fetch water, the Nuwa Temple not only has the statue of Nuwa Niangniang, but also the only source of spring water nearby, no matter how sacred it is, there are many people guarding it on weekdays, even if I want to go in, I have to go through a lot of questioning, not to mention people from foreign tribes!"
Li Xiaoyao said: "It's just a statue of a god, can't you see it like this?"
Anu said: "You don't understand, that idol is not an ordinary idol. ”
"How?"
"What kind of strange method? Isn't the statue carved out, did it fall from the sky?"
"It didn't fall from the sky, it came with a flood ten years ago. ”
Anu said, "That year happened to be the year of the death of the witch queen, and a rare flood occurred in Miaojiang. It rained like the embankment of the Tianhe River for more than a month, and the inside and outside of Dali City became a vast ocean. At that time, everyone was scrambling to flee to a high place to avoid the water, but the flood still went up, and it spread to the hill, and just when they were about to be submerged by the water, some people found the statue of the god, and some people recognized it as the idol of Nuwa Niangniang. ”
"Strange to say, after the statue of Nuwa Niangniang was scooped up, the rain stopped and the flood subsided. Everyone thought that this was the blessing of Nuwa Niangniang, and if there was another flood in the future, they would have to flee to such a high place. So everyone built a temple in the place where they found the statue of the god, and the temple was snow-white, in the blue sky and green mountains, it was very conspicuous, and every corner of the city could see the temple when they looked up. Whenever we see the temple, everyone feels a lot more at ease, as if Nuwa Niangniang is guarding us......"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other,
Even Lin Yu couldn't help beating a drum in his heart, and said in his heart that if his identity as a smuggler was found out by Nuwa, would he kill himself with one slap or kill himself with one slap?
As they spoke, everyone approached the temple and saw that the place was becoming more and more open and flat, although it was an uphill road, but all the way was very clean, no weeds grew, and the ground was also paved with flat white boulders, running as if walking on the ground.
Everyone ran uphill, and soon saw a snow-white building standing above, the appearance of the building was just a very large white square house, the base has several wide steps, several arches, under the blue sky, the white walls and tiles look more pure and dusty.
Before he could reach the steps of the temple, several guards rushed out from both sides, shouting, "Who is it?"
"It's me, these are all distinguished guests of my clan, don't hurry up and get out of the way," Anu stepped forward generously and negotiated with a few guards.
"It turned out to be the young master,"
Hearing this, several guards glanced at each other, and then looked at everyone a few times, and then turned sideways to get out of the way.
Entering the temple, what catches your eye is the statue of Nuwa that is as tall as a real person, the whole statue is white, as if it is made of high-quality white jade, it is natural, without a trace of artificial carving.
The statue of the god stands on the jade platform, surrounded by delicate railings, and the green jade railings cannot play the role of blocking people at all, and everyone easily crosses over.
Anu approached the idol, knelt down, clasped her palms together and said, "Nuwa Niangniang, Anu begs your Holy Spirit to bless our people, and get rid of suffering as soon as possible...... Then, she turned to the crowd and said, "Nuwa Niangniang is the mother of the earth and the most loving god for mankind, so you should also come and worship her." ”
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but step forward, learn from Anu's previous movements, and worship in a decent way.
Just after Lin Yu saluted respectfully to the statue, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, as if an electric current had entered his body, and the whole person only felt dark and cold, and the boundary was completely invisible around him, and he didn't even know what he was stepping on, and his body was light and fluttering, and it seemed to be hanging in the air. It's like falling into a dream.
