Chapter 14: Graffiti in front of God
"In this way, isn't this so-called Jiang Shen just an evil god!" Lu Yun frowned.
The old fisherman stroked his beard and sighed: "Yes, this Jiang Shen really doesn't make any sense. He doesn't say that he wants girls as tributes, but he must be good-looking, otherwise he won't follow it.
Moreover, if there are fewer livestock and fruits every year, it will cause trouble.
With the taxes sent by the government, our group is full of people tightening their belts and living!"
"That old man, the government has never taken care of this matter?"
"Several villages have gone to the county town to find a yamen, but they can't even take care of the mortals' affairs in this yamen, so how dare they take care of the affairs in the river?
I have invited several mages, but I have done the rituals that should be done, and I have given a lot of filial piety, and it will be left alone in the end!"
Speaking of this old fisherman, he paused and looked unbearable: "It's July. Last year, our village gave up the children. This year, it was from the neighboring village. I don't know whose family is unlucky!"
Hearing this, Lu Yun knew the cause and effect, and then said, "Do you know that this Jiang Shen has a temple?"
"Yes, I was in Jiangshendu. When I was a child, I heard from the old man that there was a city, but later it was flooded and people ran away.
Finally, the flood receded, the river flow changed its route, and a river temple was built to beg for peace.
Over time, the ferry where the temple is located is called Jiangshen Ferry!”
Hearing this, Lu Yun felt that he needed to go to the so-called Jiangshen Temple.
Then he suggested: "Old man, take me to the Jiangshen Temple tomorrow, let me take a good look at what the Jiangshen God is!"
"Why are you going? It's not what I said. If I weren't for fishing on the boat, I was afraid that I would anger the evil god, and I would burn incense from time to time to ensure safety. People like us would like to have his temple collapsed earlier!"
When the old man said this, his teeth squirmed with his cheeks. It is not difficult to see that the villagers here are really dissatisfied with this god.
Stay until late at night...
The chat between Lu Yun and the fisherman came to an end and he fell asleep in the guest room.
The next morning, the fish belly turned white in the east.
After Lu Yun got up, he first walked around the village and happened to find paper by a craftsman.
I was very skilled and asked for paper. After I had nothing to do, I drew a crane without any tips, just as I was practicing writing.
When the old fisherman was about to go out of the water to catch fish, at Lu Yun's repeated request, the fisherman took him on a bamboo raft to Jiangshen Ferry ten miles away.
The two arrived at Jiangshendu along the river. Lu Yun said goodbye to the fisherman and walked alone towards Jiangshen Temple.
Jiangshendu is actually a town, and it is close to the county town. It is not difficult to find that this area is not as rare as Lu Yun thought at first.
On the contrary, many nearby residents make a living here, and vendors from all walks of life will stop, and many villagers set up stalls to sell fruits and vegetables.
Lu Yun stopped and asked the direction of the passerby along the way to Jiang Temple, and then headed towards the temple alone.
After a while, Lu Yun arrived at the so-called Jiangshen Temple.
When he walked into the temple, he saw that the incense was in full bloom in the temple hall, but many people knelt down and left, for fear that they would go slower.
This made the temple look a bit weird. It has a good incense, but the pilgrims are unwilling to stay for too long.
Looking at the middle of the temple, a clay sculpture wearing a vermilion official uniform and a gauze hat, is sitting on the clay statue of the Jiang Shen.
The statue of the god is an old man, and his hair and beard are white without anger.
There are two groups of soap officials around me, which is much smaller than the Jiang Shen in the middle.
Lu Yun looked at the statue of the god worshipped, came close to him, looked up at the tall statue.
He said slowly: "Lu Yun, I wonder if Jiang Shen admires his face and can show up!"
After a while, the pilgrim who had removed the incense looked at him with strange eyes, and there was no movement in the temple.
Lu Yun couldn't help but curl his lips and said in his heart: "It's a pity that I'm not Shanks, I have no face!"
Logically speaking, Lu Yun felt that he had come through time and obtained an unpredictable magical Taoist method, and he was considered an extraordinary person no matter how he was.
The Jiang Shen would give him some face to chat, and then warn him to calm down. Otherwise, he would draw a grenade for this guy to taste.
As a result, the other party was too lazy to pay attention to it!
"Since that's the case, don't blame me, Lu Yun, for not being virtuous!" Lu Yun gritted his teeth in a low voice.
Then he turned his wrist, took out a brush from his sleeve, and said coldly to the statue: "As a local river god, you are worshipped by incense on earth, you should benefit the people, even if you are useless, you can do nothing to the people.
It’s a pity that as the righteous god of heaven and earth, if you don’t want to make progress, you will be brave enough to sacrifice to living people, just like you, what’s the use of keeping the temple of evil gods!”
After saying that, regardless of the surprised gazes of the people in the temple, he jumped onto the divine case and splashed ink on the statue. His brushstrokes were sharp. It was obvious that Lu Yun was also in real fire!
Xiang Zhu, who was originally full of pleated faces in the temple, was bored and dozing off by the wall, but was shocked by this sudden scene!
He was stunned immediately, and he didn't expect that someone really dared to humiliate the gods!
After a few seconds of being stunned, he came to his senses and immediately stopped him loudly: "Young master, don't do anything wrong. This God of God is..."
Speaking of this, he almost said that Jiang Shen is a bastard, so he should not mess with him if he can.
But before I could tell, I felt something was wrong. As a temple blessing, I couldn't talk nonsense. I might not go out one day and be killed by a stone falling from the sky.
Then he changed his words: "Disrespect to the gods, but he will be punished!"
Unfortunately, Lu Yun didn't care and still wrote and painted on the statue.
After applying it for a while, put the pen back into the sleeve, and when the brush returns to the cuff, it immediately penetrates into a piece of white paper.
It turned out that for convenience, Lu Yun hid a piece of paper with pen and ink in his sleeve, so that it could be carried with him and easily taken out.
At this moment, Lu Yun heard what the temple prayed and snorted coldly: "Then let him look for me, I want to see what kind of retribution is!"
After saying that, he jumped off the divine case, waved his sleeves, and left.
Seeing Lu Yun doing such a misconduct, Miao Zhu had no choice but to do anything in his heart. In fact, he also hated his master Jiang Shen, but he only dared to think about it in his heart.
Seeing Lu Yun stride away, Xiang Zhu looked at the distant back and muttered in a low voice: "Young man, if you don't want to suffer disaster, you should go as far as you can. Maybe you will be fine if you leave this world!"
But I felt sorry for the old temple blessings, and he had to clean up the ink stains on the statue of the god in the end.
But he felt happy in his heart: "Good you, Jiang Shen. He was a good person. He was so crazy about what he did ten years ago. He had to offer his children to offer his children. Let's see if he has retribution!"
Then, he turned around and looked at the statue of the god in the temple, hoping to take a good look at what kind of sloppy appearance this statue had become.
But this didn't matter, but it made him stunned on the spot!
Inside the temple...
The pilgrims, like the old temple blessings, all of them were wide open.
Let’s see, the statue of the god who was sitting upright in the high hall actually began to change his body.
The mud fetus turned his hands on his back, and the iron chains were wrapped around his body, and he was tied up like a prisoner.
For a moment, the temple was extremely quiet and everyone could not believe their eyes.
