Taicheng is a typical seaside tourist city.
Except for Moyang County, which is under trusteeship, all other districts and counties have at least one side facing the sea.
The environment here is good and there are many entertainment facilities. It is suitable for traveling in spring or autumn. If you come during the Double Ninth Festival, there will also be an annual international kite competition.
Influenced by the Gaoliang culture next door, Madam Xian is also worshiped here, and Queen Mazu is naturally indispensable in Linhai. Then there are some Taoist temples and local secular gods.
However, compared with Chuchuan and Gaoliang, there are relatively few natural villages and Jingzhu temples in Taicheng. There are only slightly more dignified places than Orange County, with a total of 6,671 villages.
Among them, the number of natural villages in Shanxi County is only 1,045.
Chen Jingle said: "That's it? In less than two days, I will have another set of Fuchenghuang series of magical tools in my package!"
…
It is said that there is a tourist attraction in Taixi called Xingyue Bay.
On the beach of Xingyue Bay, there is a Temple of Heavenly King.
There are six statues of gods lined up inside.
Generally speaking, these are local folk gods whose names and origins are unknown. They are all mountain gods and river gods.
There is no river on this side of Xingyue Bay, but there is a low mountain, which the locals call the Back Ridge. Among the more than ten kilometers of seaside beaches surrounding it, this is the only one with a bulge.
There is no problem with the mountains, but the problem is with the temples.
When Chen Jingle saw this temple, he subconsciously frowned slightly.
Of course, it's not because of the statues enshrined.
The system reminded him that the six statues in this temple were actually locals. Legend has it that a long time ago, these six people were green forest heroes who engaged in robbing the rich and helping the poor. Later, they joined the army and never came back. In order to commemorate them, the local people built a small temple in their memory.
The name of this temple should be "Six Heavenly Kings Temple".
The problem is this temple.
It is an upright rectangular parallelepiped, bright on the outside and dark on the inside. Coupled with the red paint on the exterior wall and a slightly larger front, it looks like...
A coffin.
Whether from the perspective of Kanyu Feng Shui or normal architectural aesthetics, this layout is actually not good. I don’t know which genius designer drew the drawings, but the villagers still agreed to adopt it.
"Let's just say that if the surrounding land is not enough, you should build the temple smaller instead of making it so weird and nondescript."
Chen Jingle was speechless.
It would be fine if it was an accident, but if it was intentional...
Give him two punches, high and low, and let him know what the wrath of the gods is!
The temple in front of you, viewed from the front, is in a high position with clear steps. The square in front of the door is open and the field of vision is broad. If you look from a distance, the temple door is facing a stone obsidian on the sea.
This is called special orientation, combining the virtual and the real, which is very good. At least you don’t have to worry about the incense problem. There must be a lot of people coming to worship.
The bad is inside.
It's dark and depressing, with an old-fashioned house shape. The horizontal space is too small and there are no windows. In addition, being on the seaside, it becomes extremely humid over the years. Going deep into the temple, the statue of the god is placed in the innermost part.
The so-called yin governs the past and the yang governs the future. This pattern is more suitable for repentance than for prayer.
Repent for what?
You are not the one who was crucified.
Chinese people have never mentioned the principle of repentance when worshiping gods. They mainly pray for blessings.
"If I'm not wrong, people drown in this sea every year."
Chen Jingle frowned.
Although drowning incidents at the beach are normal, it has some influence on this strange Feng Shui pattern.
what to do?
"It's very simple, just change the Feng Shui pattern."
There is nothing difficult to change!
Since the interior is dark and damp, wouldn't it be enough to make it ventilated and bright, with a small window on each side?
Can a coffin with an open window still be called a coffin?
That’s called a tiny house!
There is no need for window sash, but hollow carvings are used instead, such as dragons, phoenixes, unicorns and other auspicious symbols, which not only provide ventilation and ventilation, but also maintain beauty.
This design is usually used in various temples, Taoist temples or garden-style buildings.
Chen Jinngle, with the idea of doing good things casually, immediately helped open the window.
"Sure enough, it looks much more pleasing to the eye."
At least you don't have to turn on the lights to see the statues inside like before.
Chen Jingle nodded with satisfaction. The work he carved casually was really good. It even had a bit of charm in it, which complemented the temple very well.
I just don’t know if the villagers will doubt their life after seeing it, or if this temple will become a legend from now on.
…
At this moment, I suddenly heard a scream and an uproar coming from the beach outside.
Chen Jingle turned around quickly.
"It's a rip current!"
"Fuck don't go, don't go!!"
"It's dead, it's dead..."
"Why is there a rip current here?!"
"Lifeguard! Lifeguard! Save people quickly!"
"..."
I saw the originally lively crowd on the beach suddenly shouting like a frying pan and running back as if to avoid snakes and scorpions.
In the sea, among the white waves and foam, there were five panicked and helpless figures struggling desperately in the waves.
Rip current, scientific name is rip current.
It refers to the strip-shaped surface current that is caused by the radiation stress and pressure difference of sea surface waves. After the waves break, they accumulate to the high water body on the shore. They pass through the breaking waves and carry them back into the sea. The image point is that a wave suddenly rushes straight from the sea and sweeps everything away when it returns. The fastest waves can reach three meters per second. In this case, no matter how strong a swimmer is, he can quickly pull him into deep water, which is called a dangerous killer for coastal leisure tourism.
At this time, it is useless to swim desperately to the shore. You have to swim in both directions to have a chance of survival.
However, those people in the sea obviously didn't understand. They stretched their hands towards the shore and gradually lost their strength in the waves. Normally, if things continue like this, there is a high probability that they will drown. It’s hard to say how many of them will be rescued by then.
Rip currents are not uncommon. In Daxia alone, hundreds of tourists die every year due to rip currents. Places such as Hailing Island and Qiongzhou Dadonghai are areas with high incidence of rip currents.
However, there is no warning for the emergence of this undercurrent. It can only be said that whoever gets involved will be unlucky.
…
Chen Jingle did not immediately start to save people, but narrowed his eyes slightly and looked towards the sea.
He was certain that the rip current in Xingyue Bay was no accident.
Because he noticed some kind of power fluctuation.
It seems weird, but not exactly the same!
"What could it be?"
With a thought, the five people who were swept into the sea were suddenly pushed back by the force of the wave.
"Ugh...cough cough..."
"Wow..."
The few people who were washed up on the beach and survived the disaster subconsciously coughed up the water that had been choked in their throats, and cried loudly when they regained consciousness. However, their feet were a little weak.
Relatives and friends also cried and rushed to help them and hurried away from the seaside.
The rescuers who came after hearing the news were stunned when they saw this scene.
Damn it, what's going on?
Isn't it a rip current? Why did you send people back again?
It is impossible for people who live by the beach not to know how terrifying rip currents are, let alone lifeguards like them who have been trained with professional knowledge and have been working for many years.
This is simply a miracle! !
This was the first time I saw someone being swept away by a rip current, and then being washed back by the waves without the help of a lifeguard.
This totally goes against scientific common sense!
When they think of God, some people subconsciously look at the Tianwang Temple behind them, feeling a little more in awe.
Maybe it’s really a miracle!
Immediately, a local lifeguard warned: "Just stay alive, just stay alive. It's a rip current. It's a real disaster. This happened three times last year. Fifteen people were swept away and only seven were rescued." Think about how scary it is.
In this case, what we professionals can do is limited. We can only wait for the waves to subside before going into the water to rescue people. Maybe there are gods out there who are blessing me, so I might as well go to the temple and pay homage..."
Suddenly, when the people around him heard this, they subconsciously looked at the originally inconspicuous small temple behind them.
"How about we buy some fruits as tribute later to say goodbye."
Someone whispered to the person next to him.
Anyway, I won’t suffer any loss if I say goodbye. What if it’s really God’s blessing?
Even if it's not, it's good to have peace of mind.
…
However, at this moment, something happened again.
Suddenly everyone felt their feet shake slightly.
The lifeguard reacted immediately: "It's an earthquake! Run! Get ashore quickly and run back!!"
Earthquakes at the seaside can cause tsunamis!
As soon as they heard it was an earthquake, everyone became uneasy and quickly kicked off their feet and ran to the shore, fearing that they would be overtaken by the tsunami if they ran too slow for a second.
Above the sky.
Chen Jingle looked at the sea below with a calm expression.
"You still have the nerve to be angry? Who gave you the courage?"
In my perception, there was something underneath the seabed. It was very angry because its hunting was interrupted, and it was slowly waking up.
If I guess correctly, this should be...
"Is it a sea monster? Or something?"
It was also the first time for Chen Jingle to encounter this situation.
The prompt given by the system is [Cheongju Island]
island?
Live?
Isn’t that a bit outrageous? !
It’s not the next day until 12 o’clock... (hard talk.jpg)
Well, actually, I didn't write it all night last night. I slept for four hours and then got up and finished it. Kowtow, Orz.
