Next, on the way to the Erwang Temple to worship the Xian Sheng Zhenjun, we naturally played gongs and drums all the way.
The momentum attracted many people.
Diners at the roadside fly house raised their heads and looked over curiously, and many tourists along the way took photos of the sacrificial procession.
Erlang, who was mixed in the team, couldn't help but feel a sense of relief when he saw the river flowing slowly and the people around him living and working in peace and contentment with smiles.
It was this kind of prosperous age that made him willing to control floods for the people, willing to join Eternal Day to contribute silently, and willing to become a heroic spirit and endure loneliness...
Although the memory is somewhat fragmented, Erlang can be sure that he has no regrets.
As he thought, his expression gradually became deeper.
But at this moment, this melancholy and silent expression appeared on the handsome guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, making him so conspicuous even in the procession and sacrifice procession.
A girl who was not afraid of life came to Erlang who was hanging at the end of the team, holding a mobile phone and a red face to block his way, interrupting his thinking.
"Handsome guy, can we take a photo together?"
The girl who spoke had a round oval face and a youthful and lively aura about her body. She looked about twenty-two or thirty-years-old.
This was obviously a female college student who came to visit this area of Dujiangyan, with clear stupidity in her eyes.
Erlang was stunned when he heard this.
Although he didn't understand the word "handsome boy", he could probably understand it by looking at the little girl's expression.
From treating floods with his father to being led in by his master to join Yong Zhou, because of his handsome appearance, he has always encountered many girls showing such expressions.
His master often praised him: "Yi is prosperous, tall and long." If you are depressed, your beautiful eyes will be raised.
But what does this photo mean?
Before Erlang could think deeply, the old man who had helped him up from the ground appeared behind him at some point.
"If you want to take a group photo, of course you have to change your outfit."
The old man smiled familiarly.
He stuffed a model of a three-pointed two-edged sword that he didn't know where it came from into Erlang's hand, and then he held the silver-white armor model and put it on Erlang's body.
Erlang was a little overwhelmed and allowed the old man to play with these flashy silver-white iron pieces on his body.
Not long after, the neat old man asked Erlang to change his outfit.
When the tall, mighty and handsome Erlang stood there, a suit of silver-white armor and a three-pointed two-edged sword were shining.
The people around him couldn't help but feel that this was the True Monarch Xian Sheng. They went to the Erwang Temple to worship the clay sculpture of the True Monarch Xian Sheng.
"Good boy, I'm worthy of your muscles."
"I removed this set of equipment from the statue of the Holy Lord Xian Sheng and moved it here, but it almost killed me from exhaustion."
The old man nodded with satisfaction, patted Erlang's shoulder and found that he didn't sway at all. Obviously, this weight was nothing to him.
Although this silver armor model, which imitates the lotus lantern costume, has many hollow places, it is also composed of many iron pieces.
Being able to put it on without being affected in any way means that your physical fitness is pretty good.
"Wow, old man, you are the one!"
The young female college student who asked for a photo looked at the middle of the procession.
The statue of the Holy Monarch with its silver-white armor stripped off made her laugh and cry and give the old man a thumbs up.
I have long heard that the chief priest of Dujiangyan Erwang Temple, the old man, works every day for three days. I didn’t expect that today I saw that he lived up to his reputation.
The statues carried in the sacrificial processions were dared to go up and take off people's clothes.
"Why don't you take a photo soon?"
The old man smiled and pointed at Erlang, who had attracted everyone's attention just by standing there, and said to the female college student who had just asked for a photo.
Hearing this, the female college student quickly took out her mobile phone and approached Erlang, making a scissor hand gesture.
Erlang silently looked at the girl's gesture and the strange little box in her hand.
There were many things he didn't understand about today's world, but he could tell that the girl in front of him had no ill intentions.
Just let it go.
After the female college student took the photo and left, the old man smiled familiarly again: "I promised to take you to visit the scenic spots around Dujiangyan for free."
"You must know that I am the famous priest of the Erwang Temple in the eight villages nearby, and I am also the tour guide of the surrounding Dujiangyan Scenic Area."
"With me taking care of you, you'll make a lot of money."
The old man said this, and there was obviously something in his tone.
"I wonder what the old gentleman means?"
Erlang nodded to show that he understood the old man's hint, and looked at the old man seriously and asked.
His elegant and easy-going tone is like that of a handsome young man.
For him, being able to see Dujiangyan in a few years is what he wants to do most at the moment.
Although the foundation here was laid bit by bit by him and his father.
However, the small boxes holding portraits in the hands of nearby people and the large iron boxes containing human objects undoubtedly illustrate the changes of the times.
Now, maybe he really needs a so-called... tour guide?
"I thought you had a very good temperament before, but now that I've put you in this outfit, you're almost acting like a lotus lantern."
"I see that you have quite good physical strength. Are you interested in wearing these clothes today and accompanying our procession and sacrificial procession for a while?"
The old man smiled and stated his purpose.
It doesn't matter if the procession carries a clay statue of a god; it is more interesting if it carries a living manifestation of the true king.
As the chief priest of Dujiangyan Erwang Temple, he feels that he still has to consider the development of the scenic spot.
Aren’t we talking about celebrity effect and Internet celebrity economy now? This cosplayer is like a living manifestation of the Holy Lord descending to earth. If you make good use of it, don't you just rush to deliver traffic to the scenic spot?
"It all depends on the old gentleman's orders."
Erlang slightly arched his hands, making some noises with the cheap armor on his body.
"Tall and slender, with handsome features and good manners."
"You can compete with me when I was young."
When the old man heard that Erlang agreed, he laughed and babbled out a bunch of remarks that were similar to mine.
Next, the team moves on.
On this road along the river, as we get closer to Dujiangyan and the Erwang Temple scenic area, there are more and more people walking nearby.
Along the way, Erlang not only paid attention to the direction of the river beside the road, which was not much different from the past, but also took a look at the bustling fireworks around him from time to time.
In this scenic area, some people are singing and drinking amidst the fireworks of food stalls and fly restaurants, while others are looking forward to the summer afternoon breeze.
Crying children, mothers who comforted them softly, octogenarians, newly born babies... there was a lot of people, and the noise was endless.
This is the taste of the secular world. The fireworks may be mediocre, but they make people feel at ease.
The handsome and impressive Erlang also attracted too much eyes and attention along the way.
There were too many girls pretending to be inadvertently put into Erlang's arms, and there were also many white papers with more than ten strange symbols written on them that the girls quietly stuffed into the cracks of his armor.
It wasn't until Erlang followed the sacrificial procession to the Erwang Temple and found a corner to hide that he ended this slightly uncomfortable experience.
Erwang Temple, located in the foothills of Yulei Mountain on the east bank of the Minjiang River in Dujiangyan, is a temple commemorating the ancient water conservancy master Li Bing and his son.
It is located in a mountainous environment. The slope is suitable and it faces the Minjiang River and the Dujiangyan Canal Head Project. The scenery has excellent sight lines, blending in with the surrounding ancient forests and hiding in the deep environment.
Standing here, Erlang couldn't help but feel a trance and weird feeling.
It’s so annoying to revise the paper. I was still revising it in the early morning of the 25th. I was really exhausted. I didn’t know if this draft would pass.
In addition, the results will be reported: exactly 120 monthly passes, and 6 additional chapters. The first order is 1475, and 4 and a half chapters will be added. The reward is 7800 points, which counts as half a chapter. A total of 11 chapters have been added.
The results are not bad, but the additional updates brought are also an astronomical number. Next, I will pay them back slowly on the basis of daily updates.
