Chapter 1279 The Temple of Bayuan Township
Although it is called the land abandoned by the gods, there are actually a large number of temples in the Shining Gold Plain. This place is far away from Beijia, and far away from the Lingxu gods, so other gods have more room to play here.
"Although the god Puin is recorded in Shao Jian's notes, it has been a hundred and fifty or sixty years, and I have to make sure it is still alive." So He Lingchuan asked someone to find out first.
The temple is very popular, so the god is probably still there. Moreover, the god Puin has shown miracles in the past few years.
If you want more humans to serve you, this is an indispensable routine. Of course, showing miracles is very laborious. As a small god, the degree of miracles shown by Puin is limited.
More than a hundred years ago, Mitian would send down the Huanghuang miracle on the annual Tianji Day, which was spectacular. The people of Panlong City brought the elderly and children to the outskirts of Panlong City, which became a memorial day.
Puyin God does not have such a strong power and cannot show such a spectacle. He can only take a tricky route, such as showing his spirit in front of people, fulfilling the wishes of some people, or using believers to do things.
Dong Rui wanted to ask: "Why choose this Puyin God?"
"According to Shao Jian's notes, Puyin God is not one of the Lingxu gods, but he is not a wild god. He belongs to another group of gods, whose supreme leader is called Kshatriya. They are the main opponents of the Lingxu gods."
Dong Rui said playfully: "You don't want to play the game of 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'?"
"No, even the Kshatriya gods are very dangerous. Shao Jian almost exposed himself back then, and I don't plan to get in touch with them in depth. So I asked you to bring your clothes here." But they didn't bring the monkeys, because the two monkeys were too conspicuous.
Turning around the mountain road, there was a smooth road ahead, and the buildings on both sides of the road gradually increased.
Bayuan Township was in sight.
Both of them were wearing robes and veils. There were many pedestrians on the road, and their clothes were not eye-catching.
Perhaps today was not a market day, the village was not lively, and there were low earthen houses everywhere; the ground was very dirty, and dust was raised when cattle and horses passed by. Occasionally, small ponds could be seen on the roadside, with suspicious foam floating on the surface.
The villagers the two met all walked with their heads down, looking depressed, and Bayuan Township was filled with a gloomy atmosphere.
Dong Rui asked someone for directions, and the man just pointed without turning his head: "There, go to the end."
"Excuse me, what happened here? Why is the atmosphere not right?"
"There will be a war ahead, and there will be wars every other day." The man sighed repeatedly, and it was hard to tell whether he was angry or self-pitying, "I can't live, I won't be able to live!"
The two saw that his face was weathered, wrinkles were crawling around the corners of his eyes, and he was missing two teeth in his mouth, but a closer look showed that he was only in his early thirties.
"Where is the war?"
The man stretched out his finger to the east, shaking it for a long time, and the man walked almost two feet before the voice floated over: "Shizhoutou."
Shizhoutou is a city. Before He Lingchuan set out, he had a basic understanding of the geographical location of this place. Shizhoutou City is ten miles away to the east and is the local gateway.
If Shizhoutou fights, the war will most likely affect this place.
Civilians will most likely be robbed if they encounter deserters; they will also be robbed if they encounter pursuers. However, the reality is often that after they encounter deserters, they will soon encounter pursuers again...
No wonder the villagers looked so weak.
In the Golden Plains, war is not an accident, and most people can only accept their fate when facing it.
The two continued to move forward and soon arrived at the Puin Temple.
The open space in front of the temple is very large - most markets are chosen in front of the temple - which makes the temple building look relatively small, covering an area of less than 300 square meters. The vermilion door walls and high pointed roofs are different from the architectural styles that He Lingchuan has seen before.
Most temples are built on high places, and the Puin Temple is no exception. It is built on a small hill. The two have to walk up sixteen stone steps before they can enter the main hall.
However, after going up, He Lingchuan and his partner found that the temple door was closed and there were five men guarding outside.
These five men were obviously from the military, and they were wearing weapons on their waists.
He Lingchuan had good hearing and could hear the murmuring of prayers from inside.
The temple keeper usually stood beside the statue, sprinkled some clean water on the kneeling pilgrims, and said some auspicious words such as good luck and prosperity, but what He Lingchuan heard now was unity, invincibility, and victory...
Were the VIPs inside praying before the battle?
Dong Rui stepped forward, and the five men immediately drew their scabbards to stop him:
"Wait!"
He Lingchuan made a gesture, and the two did not conflict with each other.
The temple was quiet, but there was no barrier, because He Lingchuan could hear the breathing inside.
After a while, someone sighed, showing disappointment:
"Pu Yin God didn't show up."
Another person, probably the temple keeper, whispered: "Don't be discouraged, Yang Shoubei, Pu Yin God is paying attention to you and will continue to test you."
Yang Shoubei laughed at himself: "I hope it won't test you for too long, otherwise Shi Hetou will be finished."
The temple keeper hurriedly said: "The gods know everything, Yang Shoubei, be careful with your words!"
Then the door creaked open, and the temple keeper led a man out, just in time to meet He Lingchuan.
The man was about twenty-three or twenty-four years old, tall and thin, with a short beard and a bright eye. You can tell at a glance that he has martial power.
He frowned when he saw that He and Dong were wearing veils to cover their faces.
The temple keeper also shouted: "Please take off your veils, don't be rude in front of the gods!"
Different gods have different rules, but since you come here to worship, hiding your head and showing your tail is not sincere.
Dong Rui said directly: "It's the same whether you take it off or not."
This temple keeper has a lot of nonsense.
Before Miao Zhu could say anything, the men pressed their hands on their weapons: "I told you to take off your hat, didn't you hear? If you want to go in, take off your hat, or we will do it for you."
Dong Rui hehey, and sure enough he took off his curtain hat.
Others still couldn't see his true face, because he was actually wearing a wolf head mask under the curtain hat!
This is a mask specially made by Songyang Mansion, which can block out the prying eyes of spiritual thoughts. He Lingchuan asked them to order a batch, and Wan Qifeng brought them all to the Golden Plains this time.
When the two of them visit God Puyin, of course they cannot show God his true face.
As I said before, it doesn’t matter if you pick it or not.
However, when the seven people present saw them, their expressions changed drastically. The five men drew their swords in their hands. Miao Zhu hurriedly took two steps back and shouted: "Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun's grimace! Yang Shoubei..."
Yang Shoubei strode forward with a murderous look on his face: "You dare to come here to chase me? You are asking for your own death!"
Seeing that he was about to swing a pair of big axes, He Lingchuan pulled Dong Rui back and said in a deep voice: "Misunderstanding, we come to Pu Yin Shen, we don't want to cause trouble, and we don't want to kill anyone!"
Dong Rui interjected: "We are from out of town and don't know anything about Zhao Jun."
Yang Shoubei still looked at him with eager eyes: "Take off the mask before you speak."
He Lingchuan took off his curtain hat, revealing the dragon head mask. He did not fight with Yang Shoubei, but threw something into the temple.
