Chapter 148 Yellow River Dragon King Temple, I Am Your Father
Tang Yin was just passing by Qifo Temple and did it casually. He thought Qifo Temple was a black temple with a black heart and greed for money, but it turned out to be a cornucopia of powerful people.
The cornucopia is hateful, and the powerful are even more hateful!
Think about it, it's right, those who are doing well in the feudal world are all dogs for the powerful.
Even so, how many people want to kneel down, but can't find a way.
The most powerful person in the world is the emperor. Having the opportunity to kneel down and lick the emperor is an opportunity that many people dream of.
But if you can live well just by kneeling down, the world will not become like this.
I wanted to burn this temple to ashes, but I found the talent of Zhineng.
In this era, it is rare to study mechanical transmission, compile Buddhist scriptures, and invent miniaturized steam equipment.
It's a pity to kill him, and killing him won't change anything. It's better to preach (Dian) to him to make this world more variable.
Following the Yellow River, Tang Yin went west.
The surging Yellow River and the rolling mountains are like walking on flat ground for Tang Yin now.
After passing Xiaolangdi, Sanmenxia, and Dayutan, the river suddenly turns north. This is the intersection of the Yellow River and the Wei River, and it is also the territory of the three-headed dragon.
This place is the point where the right foot turns on the Yellow River. The straight-line distance from Luoyang is about four or five hundred miles. Tang Yin ran all the way, flying and running, and arrived in about an hour.
The main reason is that he is not familiar with the road. It was dark and winter and he almost went the wrong way. There was no navigation. If it was a straight-line distance, Tang Yin would probably be faster.
The Yellow River here changes from the north-south direction of the upper reaches to the east-west direction. There are several huge sandbars on the west bank of the river near the Wei River.
Tang Yin saw lights on the sandbar, which seemed to be a temple. He stepped on the river water to the sandbar and followed the lights.
The knocking sound of "bang bang~" was particularly clear in the silent night.
"Who is it?" Huang Zhongtou was woken up in the gatehouse of the Dragon King Temple and shouted outside. Today was his day of duty, but he never expected someone to come in the middle of the night.
"I'm passing by here and want to stay for the night." Tang Yin said.
"..." Huang Zhongtou in the gatehouse was silent for a while, then hesitantly said: "Could it be the passing Shuijun?"
The so-called "Shuijun" is a respectful name for the monsters in the river. In the Dragon King Temple, there are often passing monsters who come to seek refuge or to see the Dragon King.
"Since you know, why don't you open the door?" Tang Yin didn't expect to be misunderstood, so he continued to speak.
"I'm here, Shuijun, wait a moment." Huang Zhongtou quickly put on his clothes and hurriedly opened the temple door.
The temple door is about ten feet high, very thick and heavy. He opened it alone, and it was a bit difficult. After Tang Yin came in, he helped him close the door.
Huang Zhongtou saw that Tang Yu had white hair and red eyes, and was extremely powerful, unlike an ordinary person. He believed it about 70% in his heart, and hurriedly said: "My surname is Huang, and I am the temple's Zhongtou. Where did Shuijun come from? I will take Shuijun to the wing room now."
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." Tang Yu said with a stern face.
"I'm a talkative person, I'm a talkative person."
Tang Yu used the magnetic field rotation to sense Huang Zhongtou's thoughts, and saw his thoughts clearly, but he also saw the past of this Dragon King Temple.
This Dragon King Temple was built by passing boatmen and surrounding counties several years ago, just to pray that the three-headed dragon would not stir up trouble, flood the county, overturn merchant ships, and swallow passers-by. Even on the first and fifteenth day of each month, a pair of boys and girls and a number of livestock must be offered.
Because the three-headed dragon lives in the river, the sailing schedule of passing boatmen is very unstable, so a major function of the Dragon King Temple is to foster boys and girls. Every merchant passing through this waterway has to pay a "share" to buy boys and girls.
In previous years, there were masters who slayed demons and exorcised monsters, but these three dragons are very cunning. If they can beat them, they will swallow them in one gulp. If they can't beat them, they will hide in the river, manipulate the wind and waves to interfere with the direction of the river, and flood the town.
In addition, they are quite capable. After a long time, the demon slayers left under pressure.
"If I worship the Dragon King, I can still survive. If I get rid of the Dragon King, I will be drowned first."
"Every time we slay dragons, the Dragon King is always alive and kicking, and we riverside people suffer first."
These are all the local people's views on the Dragon King in Huang Zhong's mind.
Pitiful and pathetic, incompetent and helpless.
"Since we have come to the Dragon King Temple, how can we not see the Dragon King?" Seeing that they were about to reach the wing room, Tang Yu suddenly said, he was not really here to stay overnight. He saw from Huang Zhongtou's memory that most monsters who came to the Dragon King Temple had offered incense to the Water God.
In the eyes of many monsters, especially those in the Yellow River, the three-headed dragon is really awesome!
The weather was getting colder, and the night wind made Huang Zhongtou shiver. He just wanted to make arrangements for this unknown Water God, and wait until dawn, when the temple keeper would come to interrogate the Water God.
"Ah, yes, yes, that's exactly the truth. I'm confused. I'll take the Water God to the main hall." Huang Zhongtou pretended to have forgotten, and turned back to take Tang Yin to the main hall of the Dragon King Temple.
The main hall of the Dragon King Temple is about one acre in size and about ten meters high. The hall is mainly red and yellow, very luxurious, decorated with pearls, jade, and gold. There are many oil lamps on the platforms on both sides of the main hall. The oil lamps are very high, and they never go out in the long night, just like daytime. The lights that Tang Yin saw before came from here.
In the center of the hall is a statue of a dragon king, wearing a red dragon robe and a crown. Unlike other dragon king statues, this one has three faces on its head. It is not as majestic as other dragon kings, but rather a bit fierce.
This is the statue of the Jiaolong King.
There was a temple head dozing off in the main hall. He heard the sound and saw Huang Zhongtou coming with a man, so he hurried forward to ask.
"It's the Water Lord passing by."
Hearing that it was the Water Lord passing by, the temple head immediately perked up. Although they were mortals, they had dealt with monsters a lot and knew that some monsters were difficult to deal with. However, since he was a member of the Dragon King Temple, as long as he was not rude, it would be difficult for the monster to embarrass him.
"Does the Water Lord have something to ask the Dragon King?" The temple head asked carefully.
"That's right. I have something to say to your Dragon King." Tang Yin replied. As long as he burned incense in the Dragon King Temple, he could pass his thoughts along with the incense to the ears of the three-headed dragon.
Before entering the Dragon King Temple, he just walked along the river bank and did not find the three-headed dragon cave. It seems that below the Yellow River, the magnetic field induction did not find any particularly huge creatures.
Tang Yin had never fought with anyone in the water before, so it seemed a bit arrogant to fight with a dragon in the water. It was better to let the three-headed dragon come out before taking action.
When the head of the palace heard this, he solemnly took out a few incense sticks from an exquisite cabinet and handed them to Tang Yin.
Tang Yin took them, lit them on the incense sticks, and then inserted them into the incense burner in front of the Dragon King statue, silently saying in his heart:
"I am your father!"
Three-headed dragon, I am your father.
