A large red courtyard wall spreads on the top of the hill, and some buildings poke out, with cornices and carved beams. It was faintly visible that the green smoke was filling the air, and there was a solemn atmosphere.
The spiritual energy here is stronger than that of other places in the inner city.
A tied-haired monk in a red robe came out to greet the two of them. The other monk's robe looked simpler than the previous "Water Waiter", but he was still a monk.
It seems that the Pinjiang Dragon Temple is not only a place for worshiping and praying for rain, but also a place for monks who believe in the Dragon King to practice.
After seeing the ceremony, the red-clothed monk who led the two men was not arrogant. He briefly introduced the layout of the Dragon Temple and told them which places were inaccessible, and then allowed the two of them to wander around.
Lin Xixi was also holding a bamboo basket filled with water in her hand, and she would throw two corn kernels down from time to time. An arc disappeared in the water, and she was enjoying eating.
Lin Xixi had been taking care of Chi Li for the past two days, and now he also brought him up the mountain.
But what surprised Su Xing was that the red monk who just received him didn't seem to recognize that what the two men were holding was a "dragon seed".
Could it be that only the temple priests of the Dragon Temple have the ability to identify "dragon species"?
Without thinking too much, he led Lin Xixi over several high thresholds and through several temples. There are many statues of water monsters with incense, and most of them are subordinates of the legendary dragon god.
Finally, we stepped into a courtyard with lush green trees and a mist-like atmosphere.
There are three ancient wells in the middle of the courtyard, arranged in a "pin" shape. Su Xingxing walked to one of the wells to take a look, and faintly rippling water could be seen deep in the well.
Miraculously, however, water began to flow from the edge of the well, which was far away from the well, and flowed toward the middle of the yard.
The water from the three wells merged in the center, forming a clear shallow pool.
In front is the temple door supported by large red pillars, with four large characters written on the plaque above:
"Three rivers have good weather".
"This is Sanjiangjing." Out of nowhere, an old man dressed the same as the monk in red walked out. He glanced at Su Xing and the two of them and said calmly:
"If you two want to burn incense, you can come with me."
Su Xing thanked him and followed the old man towards the temple gate. After thinking for a moment, he asked:
"Excuse me, what is Sanjiang?"
Su Xing only knew that there was a large river in Yu State named Pinjiang, but whether it was the previous temple blessing saying "Blessed by the Dragon King, good rains on the three rivers" or the "Sanjiang Well" in front of him, they all had the name "Sanjiang".
The old man was minding his own business in front of him. Just when Su Xing thought he wouldn't answer, the other man stopped in front of the temple door, turned around and said:
"A long time ago, three great rivers flowed across the land of Yu State, causing flooding and making the people miserable.
At that time, the Dragon King united the three rivers and became a god in order to save the people.
From then on, there was no mention of Sanjiang, only Pinjiang remained..."
Su Xing only knew that Pinjiang Longshen was a great monk, but he later disappeared inexplicably. This was the first time he heard of the saying that the three rivers could be combined to become a god.
If the rumors are true, merging Sanjiang would be such an earth-shattering power.
"The Dragon King at that time..." Su Xing wanted to ask again, but the old man had already entered the Dragon Temple.
Entering the temple, the old man didn't say another word. He just handed the two of them a stick of incense, then sat in front of the table at the door with his sleeves folded, looking at the gurgling water outside the courtyard in ecstasy.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of talking, Su Xing and Lin Xixi put a stick of incense on the tall red-faced golden dragon statue in the temple and left the hall without further disturbance.
Then, leaving the Dragon Temple, the two walked through several courtyards and walked toward the silver-black statue standing tall in the distance.
The silver-black statue stands on a square covered with white jade. There are red monks holding brooms and whisking dust in the square. There are also several monks like Su Xing and the two who seem to be visiting here.
The nearly 100-meter-long statue of the Dragon God stands tall in the sky. People in the square are like ants, admiring the majesty of the Dragon God.
The silver and black sculptures are similar to the gold statues in the previous hall. They all have a hunchback, shrimp eyes, an ox nose, a dog's mouth, catfish hair, a lion's mane, and antlers. The forehead muscles are prominent, and they are wearing a crown, which is extremely majestic.
However, perhaps because of the craftsman's intention, the expressions of the two are different. The 100-meter-tall silver-black statue has wide-open eyes and an angry look. The golden statue in the main hall has a peaceful expression. Beyond that, there are differences in facial details.
Although no one said it clearly, Su Xing roughly guessed it. The 100-meter-tall dragon statue may be the legendary former Dragon King who "joined the three rivers and became a god". The statue in the main hall is the current Lord of Pinjiang Water Palace.
After wandering around for a while, this was the only area open to tourists in Pinjianglong Temple. Logically speaking, it was time for the two of them to go down the mountain.
Su Xing found a monk in red and said:
"I want to meet Lu Ke, the temple minister of your temple. We happened to meet him outside the city two days ago. We are destined to meet him."
Seeing that Su Xing had met Temple Zhu before, the monk in red showed some doubts:
"But in the past few days, the Miao Zhu adults have been preparing for the Water God Mansion Dharma Ceremony, so they have no time to go out."
But since Su Xing had already said it, he didn't dare to neglect it. He thought about it and replied:
"Fellow Taoist, wait here for a moment. I will go and inform Mr. Temple Zhu about the visit of Taoist Taoist."
Seeing Su Xing nod, the young monk in red hurriedly walked into the temple.
Not long after, the young monk trotted back, his face obviously much more enthusiastic, but he brought unexpected news:
"Fellow Daoist Su, Lu Miao Zhuyan has a responsibility and cannot leave. He also said that we will meet again if we are destined.
Just let Xiaodao Haosheng entertain you. If you Taoist friend is willing, Xiaodao can take you two to the tea room to have tea and rest. "
Seeing that Lu Ke didn't want to meet, Su Xing's expression did not change. He just nodded and rejected the other party's kindness:
"Thank you for your kindness, monk, but I don't need it."
Then he turned around and walked down the mountain with Lin Xixi.
The stone steps stained with light moss extend down the mountain, and the trees in the forest are green and mist-shrouded. After walking around a corner, the sound of gurgling water suddenly became clear to my ears.
Not far away is a small waterfall, with water splashing like water, forming a clear pool.
The center of Tanshui is green and black, showing the depth of the water, and there are some fish swimming in the shallows.
"Xi Xi, how about releasing this red carp here?" Su Xing suddenly asked.
"Snapped!"
The red carp in the bamboo basket seemed to be spiritual, and its tail made a splash of water. Lin Xixi unconsciously let go of the corn kernels she held, and they fell to the surface of the water.
"Ah?" Lin Xixi was a little confused, then thought of something and asked in a low voice:
"Brother Su, is there anything wrong with this red carp?"
"It's nothing. If you don't want to, forget it." Su Xing shook his head, but there were some guesses in his heart.
Lin Xixi thought for a while, then walked to the small pool, dipped the bamboo basket in the water, and whispered:
"I originally planned to take you back to the sect to raise you. Maybe you will turn into a little fish demon... It seems that we are destined to be destined."
The red carp swung around, the water rippled, and disappeared into the Tan.
Lin Xixi was carrying Su Xing on her back, her beauty frowned slightly, her dark eyes looked deep into the scene for a few times before showing a bit of reluctance.
Just when she was about to lift the bamboo basket.
"Crack!"
A sound of water suddenly sounded.
