Chapter 438: Prayer
In the west of Shenjing City, there is a lake, named Tianshui, and there is a temple on the lake, and the older generation of Shenjing City call it the Lao Ye Temple.
I don't know who built the temple, how long it has existed, and it has stood on a hill in the center of Tianshui Lake for countless years.
In the huge city of Shenjing, there are three rivers and six banks that span the entire city of Shenjing, and there are also a large number of large lakes, which provide drinking water sources for countless people.
At the beginning of the Great Xia, His Majesty Taizu built Shenjing as the imperial capital, suppressed the endless mountain, and built the Xiongcheng, digging the river and digging the lake, just dug this area, and suddenly the huge waves under the ground gushed out, and the monstrous waves instantly made a big lake on the ground, like the water of the nine heavens poured into the sky, so the lake is called Tianshui.
But what is extremely strange is that the surging waves gushing out under the ground made the water level of the lake rise extremely quickly on this day, just when everyone thought that it would form a flood, as soon as the lake water spread to the temple of the old man, it stopped instantly, and it did not move at all, which was extremely mysterious.
Therefore, the people in the vicinity all believe that this temple has the dragon king to live, can suppress the flood, can bless the wind and rain, over time, the rumors of this temple are more and more, and even in the whole Shenjing City is extremely famous, known as the response to requests, often people come to worship.
In the early morning, although the sun and the moon are at the turn of the day, the sky is not dark, the sky above the White Emperor Palace is becoming more and more hot and dazzling, so that the entire majestic title below is shrouded in an orange light, and the huge Tianshui Lake in the west of Shenjing, with a large amount of transpiring water vapor permeating it, between the combination of movement and static, quiet and peaceful.
Between the ups and downs of the mist, there was a small boat shuttling between them, and the middle-aged boatman stood at the stern of the boat, shaking the bed pulp, opening his mouth, and singing a faint song:
"You don't see, the rock is under the well, and it is less than a spring. You don't see, the seedlings on the mountain, a few inches of Lingyun smoke.
"You don't see, the willow in front of the door, the glory is temporarily sluggish. You don't see it, Mo is on the flower, and the wind blows to who's house. ”
In the vicissitudes of the boatman's singing, a woman with a hat masked, dressed in black, stood on the bow of the boat, although the clothes were huge, but still could not cover the woman's plump figure, and in the center of the boat, there was a small square table, and there were four women sitting at the table.
Two young girls in white, and two young women who were married.
The young woman's hair was coiled back and fixed with a hairpin, one of them was still young, while the other was middle-aged, but still charming, exuding a strange charm.
"You don't see, the water flows eastward, and there is no end to yourself. You don't see, the clouds in the western suburbs, the sky is full of day and night. ”
After the boatman sang the last line of this song, at the table in the center of the boat, a middle-aged woman in purple gently clapped her hands, her red lips opened lightly, and she said:
"Boat family, your first journey is difficult, it can be said that the world is complicated, and you must also be a person with a story. ”
As soon as the voice of the middle-aged beauty fell, the girl in white next to her, who was petite, round and ruddy and delicate, then echoed, her voice was soft and glutinous, and it was extremely good.
"Ruyue also thinks it sounds good, right, Sister Bai. ”
Next to the round-faced girl, a girl with picturesque eyebrows and an extremely beautiful face nodded lightly when she heard this, looking a little cold, and the waists of these two white-clothed girls were hung with a small dagger the size of a palm with animal tendons.
"This song is difficult, I once heard the husband at home chant, and at this time, the boat family sang it, and it really had a different flavor. ”
This came from the last young woman at the table, dressed in a plain coarse cloth garment, and her hair was also curled with a wooden hairpin, which was extremely simple, and then the middle-aged boatman with the oars in the stern of the boat cleared his throat, and then responded:
"I have been rocking the boat on this Tianshui Lake for 20 years, this is the first time I can be boating on the lake at this time, in the past, once the white dew has passed, the entire Tianshui Lake will gradually freeze, at this time, it is the blessing of His Majesty and the Holy Sun above the White Emperor Palace, this can have a blessed fate, carrying you and a few other girls who are beautiful and fragrant, to the Lao Ye Temple. ”
Such praise made the always innocent Xiao Ruyue smile, his big eyes bent into a round of moon, revealing two little tiger teeth, extremely delicate, and the boatman deserved to be an old boatman who had been rocking the boat for twenty years, extremely talkative, and some of them continued to speak with confidence:
"Those who come to the center of Tianshui Lake by boat, nine times out of ten they are coming to the Lao Ye Temple, don't you say, this Lao Ye Temple is really effective, no matter what you ask, as long as you are sincere, you will be spiritual. ”
At this point, the boatman paused for a moment, then glanced downward, and the voice continued:
"In the past 20 years, I have met too many people, some who are asking for marriage, some are asking for peace, some are asking for children, some are here to repay their vows, etc., so when I look at your eyebrows, I know what you are asking for. ”
Ruyue, who has been practicing in the Taoist Palace and rarely goes out, heard that she was interested, supported her cheeks with her right hand, and said with a smile:
"In that case, then tell me about the boatman, what am I asking for in this old man's temple?"
"Little girl, you'd better guess, come to the old man's temple to ask for two points, one is to ask for peace, and the second is to ask for love. ”
As soon as the middle-aged boatman's teasing fell, Xiao Ruyue directly brushed her blushing face, and her red head almost hung down to her chest of considerable scale, provoking everyone to laugh lightly, Li Yue, who had already had a relationship with Ruyue and Bai Zhining in Youzhou Drinking Horse Town, stretched out her hand and touched Ruyue's head beside her, for this confused, but kind-hearted and lovely Holy Maid, she loved it from the bottom of her heart.
"Ahead is the Lao Ye Temple. ”
Suddenly, a cold voice came from the bow of the boat, and the woman in black who had been standing with her hands in her hands gently spit out a sentence, and the scene in the mist in front of her gradually changed, only to see a temple appear in the lake, the whole was extremely simple cyan, the temple foundation was made of bluestone, and there was a stone ladder on the right side that zigzagged up.
The dragon king temple between the mist stands on the surface of Tianshui Lake, the mirror-like smooth Tianshui Lake reflects the clouds and two suns in the sky, and the high temple is combined into one place, looking at it from afar, just like the palace on the sky dome, full of charm.
Then the boat gradually approached the old man's temple, several women on the boat walked down one after another, stepping on this bluestone pier, the oldest middle-aged beauty looked around, and said softly:
"To be able to gather in this Dragon King Temple, it is also a kind of fate, my name is Chanjuan, I live in the suburbs of Shenjing Jingdong, and I came here to ask for peace for my husband and daughter. ”
"My name is Ruyue, this is Sister Bai, Sister Qing'er with a black hat, and Sister Yue'e, we are all here to ask for peace. ”
The enthusiastic and kind Ruyue, squinting her eyes, introduced the middle-aged beautiful women one by one, and then the group gently stepped on the bluestone steps, facing the breeze and mist, and walked into this heavenly palace-like old temple.
They came for peace, because the people they were worried about were in the Southern Barbarians, and they were fighting.
