Uncle Wang suddenly shouted loudly, startling the people who demolished the temple.
The worker was impatient with him and interrupted him before he could finish his words. "Uncle, the government has decided this matter. It is not something you can change. So don't cause trouble here."
Uncle Wang grabbed the worker's hand and said anxiously: "Look, these flowers are all blooming. They don't bloom early and they don't bloom late. But they bloom at this time. This is the Queen's manifestation!"
Naturally, the workers had seen it a long time ago and were surprised at first, but they did not think it had anything to do with the theory of ghosts and gods.
"This proves to be a good thing. What a good sign. It's not as nagging as you said."
Uncle Wang wanted to say something more, but he was invited outside by several workers.
"Uncle, please don't embarrass us. We are following the orders from above. It's not easy for us to make ends meet. If you have any objections, just report it to the government. It's useless to tell us."
Uncle Wang looked helpless, shaking his head and sighing, "It can't be demolished! It really can't be demolished!"
It's a pity that no one who came and went took his words to heart. In the end, Uncle Wang was powerless. Knowing that he had no choice, he sighed and turned around and left the place, as if he couldn't bear to see the Empress Temple demolished.
…
Ye Qin had no idea how much of a commotion his actions had caused in Yangzhou City, nor did he know that the real world was also vaguely affected.
The breath of time is hazy, and it begins to fluctuate continuously. The long river of history once again has countless ripples, setting off the waves of time, lapping on the shore.
The waves of the past and the present merged at this moment, tugging at Ye Qin's soul invisibly. At this moment, he was still chatting with Zhang Boduan about the past and present, and he still had unfinished business.
Seeing that he seemed stunned, Zhang Boduan asked curiously: "Why does your Excellency look like this?"
Sensing that the years were fluctuating again, Ye Qinyouyou said, "It's time for me to go."
Zhang Boduan sighed, "You and I have met each other as before, but now we have to face separation. I wonder if we will see each other again in the future."
Ye Qin did not have an answer to this question.
Maybe when we meet again, Zhang Boduan is no longer alive. After all, the two sides are not in the same time and space.
There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. After bidding farewell to Zhang Boduan, Ye Qin returned to Shangqing Temple.
There are weak ripples in the water channel, as if there are a pair of invisible big hands playing with it. The breath of time is flowing. A string of ancient rosary beads and the outline of an ancient bronze sword can be seen in the crystal clear water.
Recalling the discussion with Zhang Boduan, although he has never stepped into the path of cultivation, he has a deep foundation in ideological realm.
Moreover, his practice of inner alchemy was similar to Ye Qin's golden elixir. Coupled with the experience of traveling in Yangzhou, Ye Qin had a deep understanding.
"The human body is used as the cauldron, the essence in the human heart is used as the medicine, and the spirit is used as the fire. Through internal refining, the essence is condensed and formed into a golden elixir."
This is the reason why Ye Qin's golden elixir was condensed. Zhang Boduan's words gave him inspiration and new ideas.
The previous path of cultivation focused on the body, that is, the cultivation of the physical body. The changes in appearance can explain all this.
From the beginning to now, Ye Qin has changed so much that it is completely different.
Whether it is the scales or length, the hardness or strength of the body, or even the horns growing on the head, etc., these are all within the changes of the physical body.
He continued to practice to reach where he is today.
However, after practicing here, Ye Qin seemed to have entered a bottleneck period. No matter how he practiced, his cultivation never got better, but stagnated.
At first Ye Qin thought it was because the time had not come yet or because he had not practiced enough, but now he finally understood.
From Qi to Qi Dan, he finally entered the Golden Dan. This state can be said to be extremely stable for him.
In other words, he no longer needs to cultivate his body, but should choose to cultivate his soul. This is the right path.
"The body and soul should complement each other!"
Previously, Ye Qin's cultivation was in the wrong direction, and naturally he could not improve. When he understood this, he felt enlightened and enlightened.
Inner elixir cultivation pays special attention to the soul. It can be said that everything in the front is to pave the way for what is to come.
The strength of the physical body is not the way to survive forever. Only by cultivating the soul can it remain unchanged forever and live with the world. Even if the physical body is destroyed in the future, as long as the soul is still alive, there will be a chance to start over.
In Taoism, the soul can be cultivated to form the primordial spirit. The soul changes from generation to generation, but the primordial spirit exists forever.
God is one of the "Three Treasures" of the human body. In the Alchemy Book, it is divided into innate and acquired. The innate God is also called the "Yuan Shen". Yuan means nothing, fundamental, and primitive.
The person with the original spirit has no thoughts and worries, so he is naturally empty and spiritual; the person who knows the spirit has thoughts and worries, and is spiritual but not empty.
"Lingshu Benshen" has also recorded: "The blood and energy have been harmonized, the body and mind have been connected, and the five internal organs have been completed. The spirit and energy have given up the heart, and the soul has been completed, and then you have become a human being."
It means that after the parents’ union of semen and the conception of a child, life is born only after the spirit, energy, and heart are given up. This spirit is a spirit that has not been infected by the day after birth, so it should be referred to as the primordial spirit.
The reason why Yuanshen is discussed in detail in alchemy books is because of the experience and summary of ancient inner alchemists in their practice of alchemy.
So based on this, Ye Qin can be divided into the first realm of the Yuanshen stage (the third stage of cultivation), which is Vipassana, which means observing the reality as it is, that is, observing the inner self.
"Martial Arts Huizong" said: "This spirit is also called its true nature and its true meaning. Its heart must be clear and clear, and it must be muddy, without a single thought, without a single awareness, and it will be empty and in a trance. It seems that the soul is shining inside."
From this we can know that the second realm is 'knowing God'.
"Laozi" said: "The soul of Zai Ying can embrace one thing without leaving it; the concentrated energy can make the baby soft; the purification of the mysterious vision can make it flawless; the love of the people and the country can be done without doing anything; the gate of heaven can be opened and closed without females; the understanding of the four powers can lead to ignorance."
This is exactly the description of the life-giving activity state dominated by the Yuan Shen.
Most people's innate soul is obscured by the acquired consciousness, and they think about it during the day and dream at night like clouds covering the moon. Therefore, the soul retreats, and the consciousness usually takes care of things.
If one can be calm and unified, without thoughts or thoughts, the true nature of the soul will appear. This is the so-called seeing nature of Buddhism and Taoism.
If you can cultivate to perfection in the first two small realms, you can reach the third realm "Yuan Shen"!
Being able to obtain a complete soul can be regarded as an immortal existence in a certain respect.
At this point, the third stage of training has been completed. (The first stage is to visualize the source of Qi, which are: free visualization, creation and quenching of the body, and heaven and earth Qi training; the second stage is the elixir-forming stage, which are: gathering Qi, Qi elixir, and demon elixir.)
With a clear direction of cultivation, Ye Qin finally no longer crosses the river blindly. The shackles in his heart are completely loosened at this moment, as if something breaks out of the embankment.
The power in Ye Qin's body has long reached a full level, but it seems that there is an invisible wall trapping these powers and himself.
The sudden epiphany seemed to tear a small hole in the wall. Ye Qin gathered all his mental power together, and all of it hit this place, and soon the hole became bigger and bigger.
I felt that my soul suddenly became relaxed. The power previously accumulated in the golden elixir continued to circulate in my veins after having an outlet.
Ye Qin's golden elixir circulated slowly, making a vague buzzing sound. At the same time, the hazy mist slowly rose and enveloped Ye Qin, which meant that he had finally entered the next realm - Vipassana!
That is the soul stage.
Everything falls into place.
"I didn't expect that there would be such a big surprise."
"While creating the next realm, I finally succeeded in breaking through the golden elixir. This is an unexpected gain."
In fact, according to Ye Qin's cultivation level, he should have been able to break through long ago, but his state of mind has not kept up.
But after this fragment of mottled years, coupled with the trip to Yangzhou, Ye Qin discovered the introduction to cultivating the soul, and finally he could take the next step naturally.
Ye Qinhai was immersed in the joy of breakthrough, but the next second, the trembling sound of Shangqingguan came, as if something new had happened.
When he came to the yard and took a look, the sky suddenly became dark. Different from the ordinary changes in the sky, there seemed to be a special energy constantly gestating in the sky.
Ye Qin looked at the dark sky and caught a breath that was both familiar and fearful to him.
"Looking at the sky, it feels like a doom is coming."
The pressure is getting heavier and heavier, and Ye Qin will only feel like this when disaster strikes.
"Logically speaking, I should be considered perfect after meditating, and then the disaster will occur."
"Moreover, in the mottled passages of time, doomsday can also be sensed?"
Ye Qin has just made a breakthrough now, and the disaster should not come at this time.
It's really strange, and when he broke through Qi Dan and Jin Dan before, the calamity never came. Ye Qin guessed that it was because of the special nature of the golden elixir that the calamity didn't come. It seemed like a big wave was brewing.
Now, is it finally coming?
Ye Qin thought for a moment, but couldn't think of a result, so he simply put it aside for now.
"I don't know what the disaster will be this time."
It feels completely different from the previous calamities. The power this time is obviously greater, probably because he has entered the realm of the soul.
Even the soul was affected, as if countless nails had penetrated Qicun, and the intimidation coming from it almost made his mind tremble.
…
In the real world, nature has also been affected by multiple disasters!
The originally clear sky suddenly changed.
It was sunny and cloudless at first, but within a moment, the sky suddenly darkened.
The black clouds in the sky gathered more and more, and soon they pressed down on the sky. The sky was covered with yellow dust and so chaotic that it was impossible to tell where the sky was and where the earth was.
The wind and sand roared, the leaves swayed and whirled, and they gathered at lightning speed.
People at the construction site not far away had no idea the danger was coming.
"A few people can help and demolish the temple door first."
Just as the construction team began to dismantle the building, a huge black curtain shrouded the sky, giving people an inexplicable sense of depression and depth, and even affecting their vision.
"The weather is really weird. It changes at any time."
"Is it going to rain? The weather forecast didn't say it would rain."
"If it rains, it may affect the project again."
The workers talked a lot, but didn't think much about it. After all, the boss was pressing hard, and they had to complete the task quickly. The entire construction team carried out the work in an orderly manner.
Just after dismantling a temple door, I heard a crackling sound not far away.
"Did you hear anything?"
I originally thought it was the creaking sound coming from the temple door, but the more I heard it, the more something was wrong.
Everyone couldn't help but stop what they were doing and looked up into the distance, only to see a black 'giant beast' approaching them with lightning speed.
"Dragon, tornado!"
The workers were stunned and looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief. They thought they were hallucinating.
How could a tornado appear out of thin air in an urban area? !
How did this come about?
The whistling sound of the wind came from far and near, like the roar of a monster, which made their eardrums hurt and even the ground shook.
The wind pillar was almost seven or eight meters high and three or four meters thick. It looked very scary. It swallowed everything around it wantonly, and many things such as steel and concrete were involved in it.
The newly built construction site was closest to the tornado, so they were the first to bear the brunt and the most unlucky, unable to react at all.
The cyclone carried yellow sand and rolled up the iron sheet of the construction site fence more than ten meters high. Almost all the temporary buildings that had been erected were destroyed. Under the raging tornado, there was no ability to resist at all.
Seeing that the tornado was about to hit them, there was no need to worry about demolishing the Empress Temple. The remaining workers immediately dispersed like birds.
"Run quickly, a tornado is coming!"
As early as when construction started, they had already started clearing the site, so there were only these migrant workers in this area.
The sky was gloomy and scary, and coupled with the roar of the tornado, there was a shaky feeling, as if the whole sky was about to collapse.
The storm raged and roared so loudly that the workers hid in the dark and felt uneasy.
The strange thing is that except for the northern part of the city, the sun is shining brightly without any impact. The sky is cloudless, and it can be said to be peaceful.
At this time, many people also noticed something strange in the northern part of the city. It was so dark that they didn't know what the specific situation was.
The area there is not bustling and lively, and few people usually go there.
The storm raged for more than ten minutes. After the tornado dissipated, other workers dared to poke their heads out, feeling like they were surviving a disaster.
The sky at this moment is still overcast, just like everyone's mood.
The contractor saw the scene in front of him clearly and almost fainted.
The construction site was completely destroyed and in a mess. The entire construction site was almost razed to the ground and the site was paralyzed.
Broken steel and concrete were everywhere, and many workers were hit, or were caught in the storm, and fell into a pool of blood. It can be said that it was terrible to see.
"Call an ambulance quickly! Send the person to the hospital quickly."
Everyone was busy and busy for a while. In this tornado, more than 40 workers were injured.
The construction schedule was originally tight, workers were injured, and the construction site was destroyed like this. For a while, the contractor's face was filled with sadness.
"What can we do now? The construction period will definitely be postponed."
A worker looked to the southeast in stunned silence and stammered: "Worker, foreman, look over there."
The contractor turned his eyes and was stunned. He saw that in a messy place, there was a building that was well preserved and seemed to have not been affected by the tornado, which seemed particularly abrupt.
That’s where the Empress Temple is located!
You must know that the Niangniang Temple is also within the attack range of the tornado. They have suffered huge losses. The Niangniang Temple is not far away, how can it be intact?
But the fact is right in front of them. Compared to the miserable situation here, not even a tile from the Empress Temple was blown down by the wind.
The workers looked at each other in silence for a while, not knowing what was going on.
"Did the tornado disappear when it reached the Empress Temple?"
When the tornado came, everyone ran for their lives without caring about the surrounding environment. Now, among the mess on the ground, only the Empress Temple was safe.
"The tornado came sooner or later, but it happened to come when we were demolishing the temple. At such a close distance, the Empress Temple is safe and sound, but our construction site here suffered heavy losses. Could it be -"
Someone muttered something, and the contractor's face became increasingly ugly.
"What nonsense? This might be just a coincidence."
But when he said this, he himself felt a little lacking in confidence.
Even some workers could not help but retort, "There is no such thing as a coincidence, and tornadoes are very abnormal in themselves, and there was no warning in the weather forecast."
"Yes, we have been in Kyoto for so many years, and we have never heard of a tornado in the city. This is really a bit weird."
"When the tornado came, there was no warning. The sky turned dark all of a sudden, and the strong wind came at any time. It happened to be the time when the temple was being demolished."
"And before we were ready to demolish the temple, the flowers inside the temple were all blooming. The uncle who was guarding the temple said that this was a warning from the gods, asking us not to demolish the temple."
As a result, no one listened, and a tornado appeared later, causing so many injuries at once. The workers looked at each other, and several workers already wanted to retreat.
"I don't want to do it anymore. I was lucky this time and didn't get hit by anything. I won't be sure next time."
A worker suddenly spoke, followed by several workers.
The foreman's face became even more ugly, "You have to think clearly, if you don't do this, you won't get a penny."
Unexpectedly, these people made up their minds and put down their helmets. "You have to spend the money you get. This offends the gods and is too dangerous."
Watching their retreating figures, the angry foreman jumped and looked around among the remaining workers, "You guys do a good job! Don't listen to these nonsense, I will give you a wage increase when the time comes!"
Many workers have to support their families, and the burden of life is on them, so some people stay even though they are afraid, while others do not believe this.
After such a big thing happened, the foreman was not in the mood to continue. He had to report to the superiors and ask them to dispatch more manpower. The treatment, compensation and resettlement of the injured in the hospital was also a problem.
Thinking of the series of questions that followed, the foreman's temples twitched violently.
Fortunately, this is a government project with official endorsement. Otherwise, if so many people were injured today, I would be in trouble.
"Everyone has a good rest today, and we will continue working tomorrow!"
This incident quickly attracted the attention of the outside world and the government. After all, more than 40 workers were injured at the construction site and are still lying in the hospital. It is difficult not to attract attention.
"According to our report, a rare tornado occurred in Chaobei District in the afternoon. Meteorological experts said through scientific research that it was a natural disastrous weather. Its scientific name is dust tornado. The most severely affected place was a construction site. , it is reported that 44 workers have been injured."
As soon as the report came out, many netizens started talking about it.
"What? There's a dust devil in Kyoto. I'm afraid you're not joking."
"No wonder I saw how dark it was in the north direction in the afternoon. I thought it was raining in some areas, but it turned out to be a dust devil. Fortunately, it didn't pass by at that time, otherwise I would have been in trouble."
"With so many people injured and disastrous weather, why didn't the meteorological station give advance warning? Logically speaking, it should be able to detect it."
"Dust devils are actually very common in deserts and Gobi deserts, but they are rare in Kyoto."
"I have lived in Kyoto for decades and have never seen dust devils in Kyoto. Don't you think this is strange?"
"Having said that, it seems a bit strange. There is a relatively large construction site in Chengbei District. It seems that the government wants to repair something there. The damage is quite heavy."
Although netizens knew that the government was building large-scale projects there, they did not know that the Niangniang Temple was being demolished.
After all, many buildings had been demolished, and the Empress Temple was not well-known, so no one connected the two things together for a while.
The next day, the sky cleared up again, and the darkness and terror of yesterday disappeared under the blue sky and white clouds.
Apart from the mess on the ground, there seemed to be no dust devil, which slightly relieved everyone's anxiety and panic caused by yesterday's tragic situation.
Due to the destruction of the construction site and the lack of manpower, the demolition of the Niangniang Temple was temporarily put aside, and all manpower was concentrated to clean up the construction site before proceeding with the demolition.
The workers started working early in the morning. Li Song was cleaning up garbage at the foundation when he heard a strange sound not far away.
Li Song followed the sound and walked over. At some point, a big hole appeared in the foundation pit. It seemed that the dust tornado blew away a lot of the surrounding soil yesterday, so the hole was also exposed.
The hole was pitch black and seemed unfathomable.
"Is there some treasure inside?"
Kyoto has many historical monuments, and many people have found treasures while digging foundations in the past.
Li Song looked around and saw other workers nearby, each busy with what they were doing, and no one noticed the movement here.
He carefully moved closer to the black hole. The strange noises became louder and louder, and hissing continued, which aroused the serious curiosity of the workers, "What on earth is this?"
Li Song turned on the flashlight and shined it, finally seeing clearly the scene inside the black hole.
With a clang, the flashlight fell down, followed by Li Song's scream, which quickly attracted the attention of others.
"What's going on here."
When everyone came after hearing the news, they saw Li Song sitting on the ground, his face extremely pale, his eyes widened, pointing forward with one hand, and his body was shaking like a Parkinson's patient.
"Snakes, so many snakes!"
Everyone picked up their flashlights, and a beam of pale light illuminated the black hole.
Countless densely packed snakes are coiled together, black, white, floral, various colors and stripes, which makes people feel chilly.
There are so many snakes with tangled roots and no head or tail. They are like huge snake balls. It is impossible to count how many there are. They keep rolling in the black hole, which makes people's scalp numb.
As if aware of the outside world's attention, the snake's heads turned and looked at the entrance of the cave. Countless pairs of mung bean-sized eyes were aimed at the workers outside.
The whole place fell silent, leaving only the hissing sound that shocked everyone's hearts.
When the foreman came over, he originally thought he would see the construction site back to normal, but the ground was still in a mess and the workers were gathered in a group, doing nothing and looking like they were idle.
"What time is it? Why haven't you started work yet?"
Seeing this scene, the foreman suddenly became furious.
The workers glanced at him with complicated expressions and said hesitantly: "An accident happened again at the construction site."
The foreman's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, and he quickly asked, "What happened?"
The workers took him to the black hole where the snake's nest was found. The area was surrounded by iron bars and a sign prohibiting entry was placed next to it.
Looking at the densely packed snakes with various patterns, the foreman subconsciously covered his mouth with a look of fear on his face.
You must know that snakes have many legends and specialties among the people, and their longevity is linked to their 'evil nature'. Therefore, when normal people see snakes, especially many snakes, they avoid them and dare not provoke them, because they represent the symbol of evil. Unknown.
"Where did all these snakes come from?"
No one could answer the foreman's words.
We don’t know whether these snakes are venomous or not, and no one dares to act rashly. Moreover, we just experienced the dust devil incident yesterday, and today a huge snake nest was found on the construction site.
No matter how you look at it, it looks weird. At first, they didn't believe those mysterious things, but at this moment, a few workers were shaken.
"Foreman, these strange things happened after the demolition of the Empress Temple. There was no movement in such a big snake nest before, but now it appears. Don't you think it's too coincidental."
"Yes, this place is really evil. I'm afraid something else might happen."
"Didn't the man who looked after the temple earlier say that the temple couldn't be demolished? Maybe there really is some secret to this."
"You can make more money if you don't have it, but you only have one life."
The impact of so many snakes on everyone was really great, and many workers expressed that they could not continue working and submitted their resignations to the foreman.
The once bustling construction site now has more than 40 people lying in the hospital, dozens of people said they no longer want to work, and the remaining number is pitifully small.
The foreman's face was livid, and he subconsciously glanced in the direction of the snake's nest. The top priority was to stabilize the morale of the army. He braced himself and said:
"Don't panic, everyone. I'll contact the fire department and clean up the snake nest here. There won't be any problem. I'll triple the salary for the person who persists until the end!"
After hearing this, the remaining people looked at each other in confusion, but did not say anything about leaving. The foreman also breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of the emergence of the snake nest, the construction had to be temporarily stopped to avoid disturbing the snakes during the construction, which would be bad if the snakes scurry around and bite people.
Moreover, no one would have the guts to do it themselves, so we can only continue to work after the relevant departments have completed the processing.
When the relevant personnel came over, they were also shocked. After all, this was the largest snake nest they had cleaned in their lives, which can be said to be rare in the history of Kyoto.
And the snakes were big and small, so it took a lot of effort to clean them out.
In the afternoon, the snake nest was cleaned up. All the snakes were taken away by special personnel and then released to where they should go without killing any of them.
"A lot of time was wasted during the day. Due to the tight construction schedule, I need to work overtime at night. I'm sorry to trouble everyone."
When the foreman announced the news, everyone was a little dissatisfied, but when they saw the high wages, they said nothing.
The sun is setting, and the afterglow of sunset falls on the construction site, giving it a sense of beauty after battle damage. Although the construction site has not been completely restored, at least some of its functions have been restored, and it can barely maintain basic operations.
The workers came and went, working in an orderly manner. Everything went smoothly afterwards, and nothing happened again.
Seeing this, the foreman's heart finally dropped.
As night fell completely, a black curtain shrouded the sky over the city, and lights were turned on above the construction site. The incandescent lights dispelled the darkness and stretched the shadows of the workers extremely long.
Countless tiny flying insects were also attracted and circled around the light bulb, like moths flying toward the flame.
The visibility at night is definitely not as good as during the day, and it will be affected to some extent, but fortunately the workers are all veterans, and the construction site is brightly lit, so the problem is not too big.
I originally thought that everything was going in a good direction, but I didn't expect that the construction site suddenly fell into darkness.
All the lights went out at the same time, darkness was like a tide, instantly surrounding the entire construction site, and there was a lot of commotion among the workers.
The familiar environment became extremely strange at this moment, as if there were some unknown creatures dormant in the dark night, waiting for opportunities to move, which made people feel panicked and scared for no reason.
"What's going on? Did the circuit breaker trip?"
"Is the light bulb broken? Why does it suddenly stop lighting up?"
Everyone used flashlights to check and check, and found that there were no problems with the tripping circuit breaker or the light bulb.
Could it be that something strange happened again at the construction site? !
Thinking of the snake den during the day, everyone's heart skipped a beat. They originally thought that the strange things would stop here, but instead they were waiting for them here!
The workers looked at each other, and the air fell into a deathly silence.
The light of the flashlight shines on people. I don't know whether it is the influence of the light or other reasons. Everyone's face is pale. If you look closely, you can see that there is unspeakable fear and fear.
If they had known this, they might as well have just resigned like those people during the day. They only experienced snake dens during the day and sudden power outages at night.
Even the foreman, who was originally a staunch atheist, couldn't help but waver.
After all, there are too many things happening one after another. He has led many construction sites, but none of them are as prone to accidents as they are now.
There are so many things going on at the beginning, who knows what will happen next?
"Ding Ling Ling!"
The harsh ringtone of the cell phone broke the silence and startled everyone. The foreman quickly answered the phone with a somewhat relaxed look on his face.
"Everyone, please don't think too much. There is a power outage not only here, but also around here. It may be because the dust devil affected the lines yesterday, and the power grid people are repairing them. Let's go and rest first. It is estimated that there will be a call tomorrow."
Hearing this news, others also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as their area was not alone in a power outage.
Everyone packed their things and prepared to leave the construction site. Then they walked out and saw the brightly lit building not far away, but fell into a strange silence.
That is the direction where the Empress Temple is located.
While all areas are dark, the Empress Temple is like a beacon in the darkness, emitting a warm light.
However, everyone did not feel warm. They only felt an endless chill rushing into their hearts. When the night wind blew, goosebumps appeared densely on their bodies.
Silent fear enveloped everyone, even the previously steadfast foreman.
Everyone's expressions were as if they had seen a ghost. I don't know who broke the silence, "I remember that there is no electricity in the Empress Temple..."
The person who said this swallowed, feeling his throat extremely dry.
Because the Niangniang Temple has a long history and is not very popular, the temple is closed early every day, so there was no connection line at the beginning.
How could there be lights when there were no wiring?
So where did the lights they see now come from?
The foreman just received the call. There was a problem with the lines in the area. Everything was dark. Only the Empress Temple was so special, it was really scary to think about it.
The workers did not dare to speak or even take a breath. It was as if a pair of invisible hands in the air were strangling their throats.
The Empress Temple is not far away, but no one has the courage to go and find out.
"I'm leaving, I really have to leave."
"We can't stay in this place anymore. The queen must have appeared, otherwise we'll demolish it."
"It's over, it's over. Hurry back to your hometown to pay homage to your ancestors and visit their graves for peace."
The workers left the place in a hurry, and looking at their backs, they seemed to be fleeing.
Strange things happened one after another, and by the second day, there was no one on the construction site.
The new workers and the foreman were also unaccounted for. When they heard that the construction was going to be done near the Empress Temple, they all shook their heads and refused, no matter how high the salary was offered.
Weird things about the Empress Temple have spread throughout the construction site circles. The biggest thing is that the construction site has reached the point where no one can use it. It looks deserted and extremely desolate.
The government's chief engineer convened an emergency meeting with relevant personnel. Even Professor Zhang and the janitor from before were invited.
The foreman reported on the various conditions at the site, "In short, everything was fine when the construction site was set up. All the strange things started when the Empress Temple was demolished."
"Now when I hear that construction is happening near the Empress Temple, almost no one is willing to come."
After hearing the foreman's words, everyone's expressions became a little solemn.
Even Professor Zhang was a little surprised. He had passed by before and judged that the Feng Shui here was very particular. He could guess that something might happen later, but he did not expect that things would become so big. It was really unexpected. This was completely beyond the realm of possibility. The limits of the Feng Shui pattern here.
Although it sounds incredible, the source of all clues points to the Empress Temple.
Whether it was the previous dust devil, the snake nest behind, or the sudden power outage, it was very rare to mention any one thing on its own, let alone all these things together.
It’s really weird to the extreme!
There are no such coincidences in the world, but they happened. It really makes people think a lot.
The chief engineer asked others for their opinions, "What do you think about this matter?"
"Although the meteorological observatory has given explanations about dust devils, according to the previous decades of history in Kyoto, this kind of situation has never happened. The specific cause is still unknown."
This can be explained, but the construction site and the Niangniang Temple are not far apart, but the Niangniang Temple is in peace, which is a bit unreasonable. Could it be that the wind has eyes?
"The remoteness of that place may attract snakes, but according to the survey, nearby residents rarely see snakes."
"As for the power outage that occurred yesterday, the cause is currently unknown. As for why the lights in the Empress Temple are brightly lit -"
At this point, the chief engineer himself was stuck and could no longer explain himself.
If only one or two people saw it, it could be explained by hallucination, but so many workers saw it, and there was indeed no electricity in the Empress Temple.
All kinds of strange things cannot be explained by science.
Is there really something special about the Empress Temple?
Everyone discussed for a long time but did not come up with a specific result.
Even if the foreman thinks that this happened because of the Empress Temple, he cannot tell it in front of so many people, otherwise it will become feudal superstition.
But in fact, everyone knows very well that if something goes wrong sooner or later, it happens when the temple is being demolished. There are not so many coincidences in the world, let alone such a weird situation.
I don’t know who suggested it: “It’s better to believe that this kind of thing exists than to believe that it doesn’t exist. There are so many weird things happening one after another. How about keeping this temple?”
Professor Zhang sighed and finally said: "I said earlier that I would keep it. The demolition of the Empress Temple destroyed the Feng Shui of this place, which is why it caused so many disasters. Feng Shui is a natural science that integrates multiple disciplines. Some of them are strict and you still have to abide by them.”
At this moment, no one refutes what Professor Zhang said. If they had paid attention to it earlier, maybe nothing happened later.
Although the Niangniang Temple is too old and does not fit in with the new buildings, it does not matter. They can allocate funds for restoration later.
This project has been decided by the government and cannot be changed. If the construction period is extended, it will cause greater losses to the government and cause great delays.
If construction continues, no one can guarantee whether similar things will happen in the future. Instead of doing this, it is better to preserve the Empress Temple to avoid causing any trouble in the future.
"I think this method is feasible. After all, the construction schedule is too tight. If the higher authorities come to hold us accountable, none of us can afford it."
"But the area has been divided and the drawings have been designed. Wouldn't it be too abrupt if the Empress Temple is retained?"
"The drawings can be changed, and we can also declare to the outside world that this is a measure to protect cultural relics."
Everyone discussed for a long time and finally unanimously decided to adopt the method mentioned by Professor Zhang and move 100 meters north based on the original plan. In this way, the Niangniang Temple can be bypassed and there is no need to demolish the temple.
If it still doesn't work by then, they'll discuss it again.
"That's it, I have to think about how to report to the leader..."
The senior official of the general engineering project has a headache. Now that the drawings have been changed, he must inform the leaders in Kyoto. But how to explain this to the leaders?
Can you trust the leaders in Kyoto?
…
The construction site bypassed the Niangniang Temple and prepared to start work again. The foreman was very ceremonial and asked Professor Zhang to help pick an auspicious day and bring all the workers to burn incense in the Niangniang Temple.
"The gods and Buddhas witnessed that I have no intention of offending, I already know the mistakes, and the temple will be retained in the future, and it will be repaired and worshiped.
Gongtou worshiped piety, and then announced the construction.
At the beginning, the workers were still a little bit frightened, and it was strange. Since the crime of compensation this time, everything in the construction site went smoothly, and there was no similar thing before.
The workers pass by the mother -in -law temple every day, with awe in their expressions, and sometimes they go to the temple to worship.
Regarding this result, Uncle Wang, who was looking at the door, could be said to be a favorite. Hearing that the mother -in -law temple could not only be preserved, but also the subsequent government will also appropriation and repair, and he was very happy to close his mouth.
And this facing international, even a few years later, has been completed and well -known all over the world. It has been listed as the "Eagle Nest", which is listed as the top ten buildings in the world, and has left a mysterious legend because of this.
However, no one had thought that all the things of all this were because of the big snake hovering in the temple ...
