Legend of the Cultivation God

Chapter 1912 Worshiping the God of the Sea

"Let's go, old man..." Xiao Jian raised his head angrily and shouted, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the sound of beating drums.

The sound of the beating drum was not very loud, but it rang clearly in Xiao Jian's ears. In particular, the sound of the beating drum became louder, and there were some messy sounds.

"Hahaha...someone is coming!" Xiao Jian laughed loudly and threw the bamboo pole away. Just now he scolded Yuan Ya for being petty, but now he rushed to the gate of the Taoist temple with a few strides. However, Xiao Jian didn't jump out directly, instead he sneaked out half of his head, like Yuan Ya hiding on the banyan tree to peek at Xiao Hua practicing boxing, looking outside the Taoist temple...

"Don't look!" Xiao Hua's faint voice sounded from the top of Xiao Jian's head, "You can't see anything hiding in the Taoist temple! They have just walked to the foot of the mountain!"

"Hey..." Xiao Jian straightened up in embarrassment, looked at Xiao Hua who was standing next to the Taoist gate, and smiled embarrassedly, "Let's see if the group of people from General Ridge yesterday came again! They turned our Jiangchao Temple upside down!"

"Well, it shouldn't be the group of people from Jiangjunling!" Xiao Hua glanced at the distance and said, "These seem to be fishermen, some of them have fishing nets in their hands, and some of them have paddles in their hands! In addition, there are some Wearing white filial piety clothes, you should come to the Taoist temple to worship!"

"Worship?" Xiao Jian seemed a little disappointed, coughed twice, and was about to walk out of the Taoist temple, when Yuan Ya's cheers sounded, "Master, there is a pig's head! A big, fat pig's head; There are cow heads and sheep heads... Suck~"

Speaking of this, Yuan Ya's saliva couldn't help but flow out.

Xiao Jian listened. Swallowing his saliva very naturally, he walked to the front of the Taoist temple in a few steps. Look down the mountain road!

Sure enough, as Xiao Hua and Yuan Ya said, there are dozens of people under the mountain road. In front of these people are three strong men with bare upper body. There are vermilion lacquer trays, and on each tray is the head of a livestock, namely a cow, a pig, and a sheep. After the heads of the three animals are two young children, divided into male and female. Each held a fist-sized incense burner in their hands. At this time, three sticks of incense were inserted in each of the incense burners. Just after the incense was lit, the incense sticks slowly floated up, and then were blown away by the mountain wind!

After the boys and girls came a dozen more people, two of them were carrying a big red drum several feet in size, and another tall man several feet tall was holding a drumstick bigger than a fist in his hand. Beat the drum with all your might! The big beads of sweat dripped down the man's forehead, and the veins jumped as the man beat the drum! Next to the three people beating the drum, there were four people holding a gong in their hands, beating vigorously with "clang". As for those dancing with the sound of gongs and drums, they are two lions dressed up as men! In front of the two male lions, there was actually a thin young man holding a colored ball in his hand, showing off like a lion dance. While pounced on the boy's colored ball, the boy jumped in front of the lion with great agility,

Dodge, and lead the two lions up the mountain path step by step.

These were followed by dozens of fishermen in tattered clothes, each with nets and oars. He followed the lion dance respectfully, with a solemn and pious face. As for the person in filial piety that Xiao Hua said is at the end again. There are about a dozen people, including women and children, as well as the elderly and weak.

"What... what's going on here?" Xiao Jian was taken aback, this was something he had never encountered in Jiangchao Temple for several years.

"What are they offering sacrifices to? Could it be that they are going to be a water and land dojo?" Xiao Jian said to himself, "Then...should we go to Xiaojin Temple?"

"Master..." The banyan tree stretched out from the branch outside the Taoist temple, and Yuan Ya's figure appeared strangely, and he shouted, "I'm afraid your reputation has been spread last night, and these people came to worship you!"

"Oh, not bad, not bad!" Suddenly, Xiao Jian looked down at his Taoist robe and felt extremely dissatisfied. He turned his head and bumped into the Taoist temple. He didn't know whether to lock the door of the wing room or change the Taoist robe. .

In short, before the sound of gongs and drums reached the Taoist temple, Xiao Hua watched quietly from the side, Xiao Jian wore a brand new Taoist robe, and led Yuan Ya out of the Taoist temple.

At this time, Yuan Ya was also wearing new clothes, but seeing Yuan Ya twisting his head and turning his back, he must be extremely uncomfortable. However, this did not affect Xiao Jian's smiling face and extremely kindness. Xiao Jian walked up to the three big men with trays on their heads, bowed and said, "Xiao Jian, a poor man, is from this Jiangchao Temple." Temple Lord, I don't know why all of you are here?"

Unexpectedly, the respect and answer that Xiao Jian expected never appeared, the three big men ignored Xiao Jian at all, walked past the place where Xiao Jian bowed in the order of sheep, pigs and cattle, and entered the Taoist temple. It was the two boys and girls holding incense burners in the back who ignored Xiao Jian.

"Cough cough..." Xiao Jian was extremely embarrassed, coughing twice and really wanted to speak, Yuan Ya next to him suddenly whispered, "Oh, Master, I forgot! When I was in Changsheng Town earlier, I seemed to hear someone say However, this Jiangchao Temple used to be dedicated to the God of the Sea! They... Did they come to worship the God of the Sea? Didn't they come to see Master?"

"Grandma's..." Xiao Jian raised his foot and kicked Yuan Ya's knee, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

"Disciple, disciple just remembered!" Yuan Ya was very wronged, but still avoided Xiao Jian's kick extremely neatly, and defended in a low voice.

"Go ahead! No matter who they are worshiping, you are the abbot of this Taoist temple now!" Xiao Hua said angrily.

"Yes, yes, what Fellow Daoist Xiao said is very true!" Xiao Jian felt reasonable after hearing this, and he was less embarrassed, and he didn't care about being serious with Yuan Ya, so he took advantage of the lion dance to show off at the entrance of the Taoist temple, and entered the Taoist temple first.

Sure enough, after Xiao Jian and others entered, dozens of people after the lion dance also rushed in, and all of a sudden surrounded the small Taoist temple tightly.

"You..." Xiao Jian had just walked to the middle of the Taoist temple when he saw the three strong men who came in earlier enter the main hall. One of the three big men waved his hand, and he swept all the incense candles on the confession case to the ground! Seeing this, Xiao Jian didn't feel anxious, he didn't come here to pay respects, he was clearly here to make trouble! Buddhism and Taoism are so at odds, and the monks from the Xiaojin Temple have never come to the river to watch the tide and mess around like this. Are these fishermen ready to be bold? Xiao Jian shouted loudly.

However, before he could shout out, the three strong men turned their heads at the same time, and said angrily: "Where did the wild Taoist priests come from! This Jiangchao Temple is where I worship the Sea God in Changsheng Town. You have occupied the Taoist temple without permission. Say, are you still pretending to be a ghost here? If you dare to say one more word, I might drive you out of Jiang Chaoling!"

As soon as Xiao Jian heard this, he immediately shut his mouth, he didn't dare to say a word, he was afraid that he would be driven out of Changsheng Town by these fishermen before he even competed with the monks from Xiaojin Temple.

"Master Sea God..." A mournful cry came from behind Xiao Jian, and a dozen old and weak women and children in filial piety entered the Jiangchao Temple, crying and rushing towards the main hall! Xiao Jian dodged to the side knowingly, he was half as strong as Yuan Ya in skill.

Following the cries of these fishermen, the three big men put the three offerings on the confession case, and the two boys and girls also presented the incense burners respectfully, and then retreated to the side of the confession case with low eyebrows. On the main hall, the offerings of the three animals are pleated and shining, the two virgins are beautiful and pleasant, and the incense is lingering on the incense burner. Although the statue is still dilapidated, it can be compared with the cries of the fishermen and the pious kneeling on the main hall. The sacrifice hosted by Xiao Jian and Yuan Ya did not know how many times stronger!

Xiao Hua was standing not far behind Yuan Ya, his eyes flickered, and he could see everything clearly, after half an hour, the fishermen in mourning clothes worshiped, and other fishermen also worshiped, Xiao Hua had already heard it clearly I know that there was a disaster in the Liaojiang River last night, and nearly ten fishermen died in the river. These fishermen came to worship this statue that I don’t know how many years they haven’t worshiped for their own safety and future business.

Even, at the end of the worship ceremony, several craftsmen first came forward to pay respects to the sacrifice, and then took out strange rulers and threads to carefully measure the place of the statue, and then took out a pen and ink to write on an image. Carefully mark some numbers on it! Xiao Hua can also see clearly that above this image is a statue, this statue is a male body, the two strands of mustache on the lips are particularly obvious, except for this beard, the statue is full of heaven and round, with two ears Its earlobes were over shoulders, and apart from some compassion, there was more ferocity in the eyes.

"Oh? Is this the so-called Sea God? It doesn't look like that, it's still far behind Daoist Xiao!" Xiao Hua smiled faintly, and looked away again.

Different from Xiao Hua's indifference, Xiao Jian laughed uncontrollably, he promised the villagers of Jiangjunling to reshape the statue with gold, but in fact he didn't know what the statue looked like! Moreover, he still needs to find a craftsman and discuss with them how to restore it, especially, although there were a lot of copper coins last night, it is far from enough to repair the statue. Didn't you save yourself trouble? Could Xiao Jian be unhappy?

"When the villagers of Jiangjunling come to ask, I will say that I repaired it myself!" Xiao Jian has already made up his mind, and he also believes that the villagers of Jiangjunling will never ask more questions.

The craftsmen memorized some numbers and left the Taoist temple in a hurry. Obviously, they wanted to make the golden body of the statue in the shortest possible time. The fishermen inside the Taoist temple were emotionally worshiping several times. Seeing that a ceremony that had nothing to do with Xiao Jian and Daoist Xiao was about to end, at this time, a dozen people came in from outside the Taoist temple.

These people looked different from fishermen at first glance, but these people looked at the fishermen in the Taoist temple, and there was no surprise in their eyes. Naturally, the fishermen ignored them, and even nodded to each other in a friendly manner. However, when these dozens of people kowtowed, the first sentence successfully exploded the emotions of the two groups of people! (To be continued.
