Chapter 1694 Act individually
The main part of this large temple alone covers an area of 100 acres, not counting the mountains, forests and lakes surrounding it.
The strange insect flew to the door but didn't dare to go in. It squatted on a big tree beside and waited.
This big temple is extremely popular, with believers coming in and out every moment. Some people even kneel every three steps to show their determination.
The square at the entrance, which could accommodate seven or eight hundred people, was packed with people, and the sound of prayers was buzzing everywhere. The strange insect ignored them and waited patiently for a long time until a man dressed as a servant came out holding a broom, and then it quietly followed.
A strong wind blew just now, and countless leaves fell. The servant was out to sweep the courtyard.
When he looked around the corner, there was no one around him, but something hit his shoulder hard.
The servant was startled and turned his head subconsciously, but his eyes blurred and something suddenly rushed into his mouth!
Alive and moving!
Before he could scream, the thing blocked his throat.
He scratched his throat, his eyes rolled back, and he fell to the ground.
Twenty steps away from him were two pilgrims, but their view was blocked by the wall and there was so much noise at the temple gate that they did not hear anything unusual.
Just a few breaths later, the servant grabbed the broom, walked out from the corner again, and went straight into the temple.
He had a blank expression and his eyes were a little dull, but the square and the temple were filled with people, so who would pay attention to such an inconspicuous servant?
The buildings in the temple are stacked layer upon layer, even more magnificent than what you see from the outside, and the several palaces are taller and more imposing than the last.
He first entered several palaces and saw that all the immortals enshrined here were famous and famous, such as Master Yu, Master Baopu, etc.
Although each one is made of clay or wood, they are all exquisitely crafted and inlaid with beads and jade.
He walked further in and finally entered the largest treasure hall after a quarter of an hour.
There is an extremely gorgeous caisson in the hall, its complexity and beauty are difficult to describe in words, and it may take a craftsman his entire life to carve it.
There is only one giant statue here, which is an astonishing five meters high!
The sculpture is a seated human figure with a date-paste-colored face, three strands of beard under the chin, a rich hat on the head, and a bright red robe. The robe is woven with five-colored brocade with auspicious patterns such as peonies, cranes, and fairy peaches.
This is the Wind God worshipped by everyone, the master of Storm Island!
He was holding a long staff with two giant pythons wrapped around it, and at his feet was a monster with bulging eyes, fangs, a short tail, a body like a dog and a lion, and two heads. Because it was carved so vividly, the monster made people shudder at the sight of it.
Its terror highlights the majesty of the God of Wind.
No matter from which angle he looked, no matter whether the servant walked to the leftmost or rightmost side of the hall, the God of Wind's drooping eyes were staring at him.
Everyone who enters the temple feels this way.
In front of the statue are an altar, a ceremony table, and various complicated ceremonial instruments, especially the colorful figurines with different postures on both sides, which also fill up half of the hall.
The two boatmen just said that these human figurines were not made by craftsmen. They were originally living people who committed crimes or offended the immortals, so they were turned into human figurines and placed in the temple to warn others.
This time, as soon as the servant entered the hall, someone stepped forward to stop him: "Get out, this is not a place you can enter!"
The main immortal palace has its own exclusive servants, and does not allow menial servants like those who sweep the courtyard to take over the work.
The servant did not insist and turned around and walked out.
You can't cause trouble in the main immortal palace, otherwise you will be chopped into pieces in minutes.
However, the road to Shilong Peak seemed to be behind the hall. How could he get there? The strange insect couldn't use its original body to get there. It could sense that there was a barrier in front of it. If it rushed in rashly, it would be in big trouble.
At this time, a boy of about thirteen or fourteen years old walked out from the back of the hall. He was wearing a soft satin robe, with a white face and a high bun.
The servant who had been driving the chores earlier immediately nodded and bowed, his mouth almost grinning from ear to ear: "Master Fang is going home to visit his relatives?"
His flattering look was completely different from before, but the young Master Fang turned a deaf ear to him and walked straight past him, as if he didn't even notice this living person.
He didn't even bother to say a word to these servants.
Going home to visit relatives? Yes, some children of the Silver Pearl Island people will be selected to serve the Wind God and pass on the art of immortality.
So this little guy, about thirteen or fourteen years old, is also a disciple of the Illusion Sect?
The servant thought about it, then followed Young Master Fang out of the hall.
Just a quarter of an hour later, the servant who was cleaning the main immortal hall saw Young Master Fang coming back.
This is strange. Wasn’t Young Master Fang just about to go home?
But the servant had just hit a snag and now he didn't dare to say hello again. He could only watch him disappear behind the hall.
……
He Lingchuan and others followed the shopkeeper's instructions and went back to the beach, heading east along the shore.
The two small towns we passed along the way were very lively. Some fishing boats had already returned and were moored on the shore. The fishermen were sitting in front of the houses, chatting, repairing their nets, and drying fish, with bursts of laughter from time to time.
Children, dogs, chickens and ducks ran wild on the beach.
A happy scene of busy farming season.
On the islands at the center of the storm, there is actually a life like a paradise. Wanqi Feng sighed:
"Incredible. This is exactly the place my uncle and I dreamed of a few years ago."
The Wanqi clan was driven out of the Ya Kingdom and became displaced. Wanqi Feng was obsessed with finding a place for his clansmen to settle down.
If they could have found this place at that time, they would definitely stay there.
But there is no such thing as "if" in the world. Now he is following his lord to conquer the world and achieve great feats, which may be God's will.
The group walked past another low hill and stood on the top of the hill looking back. They saw a big city behind the port, with houses lined up one after another, archways and streets crisscrossed, and crowds of people surging in it, coming and going as part of life.
"So many people live in the center of the storm." Everyone was amazed.
Silver Pearl Island fell into the eye of the storm, at least two thousand years ago. Humans are one of the most fertile creatures.
Aunt Zhu had another point: "Hey, did you say Bai Ziqi has arrived on the island?"
"He will arrive sooner or later. He won't miss it." He Lingchuan was very confident. "He is Bai Ziqi. The clues I left are not difficult. He will definitely be able to solve them."
"Is what you left a clue?" Aunt Zhu said with a snort, "It's obviously a mystery!"
"Have you figured out how to deal with him?"
"Let's wait and see what happens." He Lingchuan said, "Bai Ziqi came here for only two goals, Qianhuan Zhenren and me. He may not be able to find me right away, and the storm circle is open for a limited time, so he will look for Qianhuan Zhenren first, and then try to 'encounter' me on the way."
Bai Ziqi was not quite clear about the real purpose of He Lingchuan's coming to the Upside-Down Sea, just as He Lingchuan was not clear about why Master Qianhuan was always in seclusion and did not come out.
They all have their own mysteries to be solved.
Going further, the seaside scenery is still beautiful, but the mountains and forests are getting denser and the population is getting sparser.
Soon, everyone arrived at the destination of this trip——
A huge lake.
