"Then go check it out," he said.
"Thank you Grandpa Lian!" I cheered.
"Grandpa?" He looked at me suspiciously.
"Uh, that's what a high official meant."
"The current folk appellation, is it so retro?"
"What's this? There are still people who like life in primitive times and have nothing to do with naked running."
Chatting all the way, we followed the crowd and headed towards the Chenghuang Temple.
After arriving at the Chenghuang Temple, I realized that this place is truly a sea of people, sweating like rain...
The heads were dangling like a radish. I stood on tiptoe for a long time, only to see a bunch of back heads. The Chenghuang Temple was just like a fire. The smoke went straight for nine days. I don't know how many people burned incense in it at the same time.
I saw that the gates of the temple were covered by fireworks, and I thought that those who can enter alive and come out alive are certainly not ordinary people. His vital capacity was a little bit close, and he should have been choked to death.
I watched anxiously for a long time, but couldn't see anything. I just heard the shout from inside: "Master Chenghuang Appears!"
The crowd was crowded again, and in the chaos, I didn't know who was touching my butt, and squeezed it hard. Damn it, take advantage of it and take the wrong person!
Lian Dao is really in a pile of people, like a reef in the waves, so steady that people have nothing to say. He saw that I was squeezed with sweat, and said, "It's time to go."
I didn't see Lord Chenghuang, how could I go, his neck was crossed, and he said, "If I don't go in today, I won't have the last name Zuo!"
Even Daozhen sighed, and walked over to lift my collar, without seeing any movement from him, and walked straight forward. The crowd in front fell around like children, and someone shouted angrily: "Who brought the bulldozer?"
Lian Dao really held me and walked into the Chenghuang Temple smoothly. Seeing the people behind him still squeezing but still unable to get in, I felt like a monkey brought by an acrobat...
This Chenghuang Temple is not big, and it is very old, with a lot of red paint removed everywhere. There were many shoes on the ground, which were stepped on by people. I saw many people sweating, jumping to find shoes, and some were smart, picking up one of them and continuing to squeeze them.
Behind the gate of the temple is a large copper furnace, which has been filled with incense, big and small, thick and thin, long and short.
In order to satisfy my wish, Lien Dao really crossed the copper furnace and moved on. We soon came to the main hall, which was densely packed with people kneeling on the ground and kowtow. He closed his eyes and listened to the bang bang sound, thinking that it was an act of sweeping pornography and not slamming the door.
There are too many people in the hall, even though Daozhen can get in, he must step on people. Seeing his posture, it doesn't take him seriously to trample someone to death, so I quickly said, "Just stand here and take a look."
The main hall of this Chenghuang Temple is neither high nor wide, and its area is only a few dozen. There is a golden stone statue in the center, which should be the so-called Lord Chenghuang. There are no names on it, it is probably not a famous person.
Next to Chenghuangye was a slightly thin judge, with a pen in his hand, but no books. After that, there was a statue of Ya Ya, standing there with a stick, a knife and a spear, and then there was a horse face with a bull's head and a horse. Maybe the place is too small, so there are few statues here.
I bet that the incense here must not be booming before, otherwise, it would have been a big one. But now, the money in the incense of merit is full, and countless banknotes are piled on it, spilled to the ground, and the viewer is worried.
I watched for a long time, but I didn't see anything unusual about these statues. But after a closer look, I found that there is indeed a breath in the statue. I couldn't help but sweat a little, wondering if there would really be a city god appearing, right
I turned my head and saw a man squeezing over, and asked him, "Big Brother, what's the matter with this Lord Chenghuang's manifestation?"
The man looked up and looked at me with a puzzled look: "You don't know?"
"I just came here, not sure..."
The man suddenly became energetic, spitting and splashing stars, dancing and saying: "This matter has to be talked about a few days ago!"
What he said was rather messy. After listening to it, I spent a long time thinking about it before I fully understood it, so I will explain it here.
This Chenghuang Temple, as I guessed it, has almost no incense. Everyone in the current society is busy. Who has the free time to burn money here? Those who believe in Buddhism are fine to donate and worship, but if they can do it once or twice a year, they will reach the sky.
And a few days ago, I don’t know where it came from, saying that the Lord Chenghuang appeared in the middle of the night. No one took it seriously at the beginning, but the rumors spread more and more and became more and more intensified, and those who didn't believe it would have to believe it. Slowly, many people began to come to join in the fun, and it was enough to spend dozens of dollars to buy Zhuxiang.
But last night, there was a student who passed by the Chenghuang Temple. Because of the recent rumours, he took a photo of the main hall with his mobile phone curiously. He didn't notice anything at first, but when he went home at night to look through the photos with his phone, he was scared to death.
In the photo, the statue of Master Chenghuang in the hall actually stood up!
The student yelled in fright, and then attracted the parents. After that, the story went viral, and I don't know who uploaded the photos on the Internet. Overnight, the entire Qi County, including the neighboring counties and cities, knew about it.
Among the people who came today, many people drove over overnight. It can be said that the city's gods temple has not stopped in the sky since yesterday. Even the laymen in those temples were directly driven aside by the Provincial Buddhist Association that ran over overnight.
I glanced at the main hall, but I didn't find the monk, and I couldn't help but feel puzzled. The man smirked and said with a smile: "They drove away the lay laymen, but this is the home of the laymen. They just called some people over, and they squeezed them out of nowhere. But I guess, those in the merit room. One hundred thousand, we have to make some trouble."
I am not cold about Buddhism, but the rumored photo is very curious. Upon my inquiry, the man took out his mobile phone, flipped it over, and then handed it to me, saying, "This is this one, you see, is it the same as the real one."
I took it and looked at it. Indeed, there was a statue of a city god standing in the photo. I compared the mobile phone with the one in the hall, and it was indeed very similar. It's just that the pixel of the student's phone is not very good, and the shot is slightly blurred.
I returned the phone, thanked the person, then looked back at Lian Daozhen and asked, "Do you think it is true or not?"
Although he is not very interested in this matter, since he is here, even Dao Zhen is naturally watching. He kept looking at the statue. At this time, when he heard me ask, he said, "I don't know whether it is true or not, but the breath in the statue is a bit chaotic because of close proximity."
"Chaos? Is there too many people?" I asked.
"No." Lien Daozhen said, "I'm talking about chaos, just referring to the breath of the statue. It feels like a bat that doesn't know which direction it is heading, bumping everywhere."
This statement made me unable to understand, but after careful sensing, I understood what he meant. That breath is not a complete breath in the close-range induction, but a little scattered. It's just that something seems to be squeezing it around, forcing the breath to move closer to the center.
At this time, Lien Daozhen said again: "I have seen some mountain spirits and wild monsters. The breath when they are about to be formed but not yet formed is similar to this."
Although his voice is not loud, it is heard by many people. Those people immediately glared at us and said loudly: "If you don't believe it, leave, talk nonsense! There is a god who lifts your head three feet, and you are not afraid to flash your tongue!"
Dao Zhen didn't even look at them, his face was calm and calm. I was afraid that those people would say something more unpleasant, so that he could not help but cut people, and quickly said: "I'm sorry, sorry, I drank too much."
"I didn't drink." Lian Daozhen said.
"..."
I was worried, but I heard the person next to me say: "Those who drank all said they didn't drink, they must be drunk.
This time, it was Lian Dao's turn to be really speechless.
Although it looks strange from the photos, I am just as curious as Ren Daojin, but not fascinated. So, after watching for a while, I said to him: "Let's go."
Lien Dao nodded, mentioning that I was about to leave. However, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in his head: "Stay."
I immediately recognized that it was Ji Sun's voice. I was taken aback for a while and asked him: "What's the matter?"
At the same time, I waved Lien Daojin not to leave in a hurry. Lian Dao looked at me suspiciously and asked the same question: "What's wrong?"
I also want to know what's wrong... Ji Sun replied after a while, "I need to borrow your vision to observe it."
"Chenghuang? What do you observe it for?" I asked curiously, not understanding how Ji Sun would be interested in this kind of thing.
However, Ji Sun did not answer, but directly said: "Relax your mind."
I motioned to Lien Daozhen to put me down, and when he saw his face full of doubts, I said, "Ji Sun wants to see it."
Lian Daozhen raised his eyebrows. He understood the power of Ji Sun better than I did, but such a powerful Ji Sun had an interest in Chenghuang, which was a bit unusual.
I relaxed my mind, and immediately felt my consciousness being pushed away. It felt like you were flying out suddenly. Ji Sun's borrowing method is really not gentle enough.
In almost an instant, the field of vision completely changed. Ji Sun seems to have been maintaining the perception of the two worlds, so I feel that before my eyes flashed, the front has been divided into simple and complicated.
There is nothing to say about the complex world, it looks like what you see with the naked eye, while in the simple world, it's quite different.
I saw that the statue of the city god was no longer in mud, but in a human-like shape. The reason it is said to be similar is that it is constantly changing and twisting, a bit like a puddle of mud. I feel that it should be trying to condense a complete shape, but there is something missing, so it has not succeeded.
This figure is colorful, like being splashed with dye. In Ji Sun's simple vision, most of the world is full of various auras, and the simpler ones are just a few lines. I have hardly seen such complex colors. (End of this chapter)
