#1004 - Drowning, horns grow on the head
The Bai family will definitely not expose the Martial Saint Rituals to the public.
However, there are many general temples in Hantai Prefecture, comparable to the Jianghuai Dragon King Temple. The incense of thousands of people carries their own wishes.
It has the benefit of nurturing and growing rituals. Outside the city of Hantai Prefecture, the largest one is at the foot of Bingjing Mountain. Brilliant lights can still be seen in the middle of the night. Crowds of people are lined up on the steps. There are also old masters with neat beards, who look like two strokes of ink from a distance. They ride on a human-powered sedan chair to go up the mountain, and people on both sides make way for them.
βItβs colorful.β

Liang Qu stood on the roof and looked into the distance.
Although the General Temple is a bit dark under the night sky, you can still see its colors clearly.
Completely different from the temples in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, the General Temple is "heavily made up". The background color of the plaque is also a very bright and eye-catching blue, and the entire gate tower can be described as colorful.
Not to mention the temples for worship.
The architectural styles of residents in Pingyang and Hantai are also very different.
Pingyang houses are mostly sloping roofs to prevent water accumulation and mold, with horse-head walls on both sides and walls mostly made of brick and stone; Hantai houses are mostly flat-roofed, covered with a layer of thatch to store grain, which is said to be used for insulation in summer, storage of grain in winter, and as stone foundation in wartime.
The walls were not made of bricks or stones, but cement mixed with camel hair. There were also pottery jars on the roof. Out of curiosity, Liang Qu dug out the jars and found dried hair and grains in them. As a person from a water town, Liang Qu didn't know what this custom was.
This is the feeling of being in a foreign land.
Can't understand.
can't read.
At first glance, nothing is familiar in my memory.
I miss the first day in Pingyang.
Long Eying stood aside and said, "Why are you stopping here again after coming out so late at night?"
Liang Qu pointed at the people burning incense on the stairs and said, "I thought there would be no one here in the middle of the night, but I didn't expect it to be so lively during the New Year. I'll wait a while."
"Waiting for what?"
"Wait for the drinking water to sink."
boom!
Sparks flew in the temple, and orange sparks drifted into the night sky, causing a commotion.
"Let's go, it's almost time."
From the eaves of the General Temple peek out a glazed beast head, and the copper bells hanging from the eaves are engraved with the Lotus Sect's mantras.
Flip inside.
The smell of rust and ghee filled my nostrils.
Square beams crisscross.
In the dim place where candlelight could not reach, Liang Qu relied on the distorted light and shadow of the water curtain of the [Whirlpool God Armor] and walked freely on it holding Long Eying's hand, overlooking the entire General's Palace in front of the temple keeper and pilgrims.
The left wall of the hall is painted with "Ice Field Killing Picture", and the right wall is painted with "Horse-Headed Vajra King Subduing Demons". The pigments of the murals are mixed with blue lake salt jade powder. From a side angle, jade-colored scriptures will be reflected, otherwise not.
The 39-foot-tall statue of the deity is located to the lower left of the two men.
He is of majestic and strong build, with fish scale armor on his left side and a blood-mane robe with a thousand knots on his right side.
There are three faces, one bronze face, one jade face, and one limited to winter, frosted and icy face, which is euphemistically called the "dark side". Combined with the geographical characteristics of Hantai Prefecture, it has a unique sense of local culture.
The hall was noisy, with the common people vying to discuss the previous wealthy man's deeds.
The dense crowd continued to move.
How many tens of thousands of taels does it cost to burn incense?
Damn it!
Liang Qu was filled with resentment. With all his current belongings and several months' salary, he was not even qualified to come here to burn incense!
Long Eying glanced around and said, "Are you coming now? There are so many peopleβ"
"Wait a little longer, there can't always be so many people."
Facts have proved that there are quite a lot of people idle in winter.
Around two o'clock in the morning, the crowd was still dense. It was not until four o'clock in the morning that someone began to clean the hall. Liang Qu, who was lying on the beam and yawning, perked up.
The opportunity has come!
"finally!"
Liang Qu immediately stood up and untied his belt. Long Eying looked away, but couldn't help but glanced at him twice before looking away again.
absurd!
But if you think about it realistically, it does make sense.
According to the professional Huai Kong, the triggering of drowning karma is most likely related to the distribution of Lotus Sect believers, giving everyone a foundation for unknown reasons. The general is also part of the Snow Mountain system. Touching believers and touching statues.
"Ni" also means urinating!
This is exactly the guidance of Fighting Buddha!
"Even the Buddha peed himself, yet he still laughed. What's a general? I, the Earl of Xingyi, have no taboos!"
Liang Qu stepped out and moved to the side.
There are generally three types of building beam structures: well-beam type, through-beam type, and raised-beam type.
Large buildings often adopt the "raised beam style", that is, beams are raised on columns, columns are installed on beams, and beams are raised on columns. This structure can increase the width and depth of the building, so it is the main structure of large buildings, and the General Temple is also the case.
The top beam is close to the eaves, and the next two beams are only five feet above the roof. There is not enough space for people to sit, and the bending is not beautiful.
Therefore, Liang Qu could not stand directly above or on the shoulders of the statue, and could only go to the third level, a little further away, straighten his body, and fire from a distance.
Align slightly.
The sluice gates that had been held back all night opened, and the flood poured out!
Wow wow wow.
Like a stream or a pillar.
Fearing that direct artillery fire would make too much noise and attract attention, Liangqu deliberately drew a parabola first, poured water onto the beams, and then slowly dripped onto the statue through the beams.
"Amitabha, may the Tathagata bless you, may Dou Shengzhang bless youβ"
Long Eying couldn't stop rolling her eyes that whole night.
In the whole world, only Liang Qu could think of such a cruel way to fight poison with poison.
The beams and pillars are wide, filled with water, which naturally flows to both sides.
Tick-tock.
"What's that sound?"
The old temple keeper looked up in confusion, but did not see anyone climbing the mountain to burn incense.
Wow.
The intermittent sounds became clearer and continued.
Sound of water?
Where is the leak? Is it raining outside?
The temple keeper was confused as if he were surrounded by weeds. He looked up and looked out the window.
The sky was clear, the stars and the moon were shining, without a single cloud to block the view.
Weird things, weird noises.
"Temple, temple priest! God, statue of god!"
The young man raised his hands in surprise.
The temple keeper turned around, his pupils dilated, and saw water dripping from the beams and falling onto the ice behind the statue!
It was cold in February, and the chill in Hantai Prefecture was biting. The water column and the ice surface quickly froze together, like stalagmites that had grown in a cave over the years. They bulged high and became two corners of the chair, destroying the original appearance of the statue!
The old man and the young boy had no idea where the water came from or what kind of water it was.
Wow.
Ze Ding trembled.
[Drowning Trigger]
[Drowning Karma Accumulation: Four]
It works! Very useful!
The wind is strong and the call is coming!
While the temple keeper was still not able to react, he shook it off and it fell off cleanly. Long Lingxiao tied the belt tightly, Liang Qu picked up Long Eying, and with the help of the darkness, he quickly moved out of the temple without destroying the light and shadow effects.
The young man jumped up and down, and then he leaped onto the beam and found the top beam covered with a thick layer of frost.
The temple keeper asked anxiously, "Look, what kind of water is this?"
The young man looked left and right, confused and uncertain.
Take a sip.
"Okay. It seems so."
"What is it?"
"Urine?"
"!"
The temple keeper's head felt like it was about to explode, and then he looked at the "ice shoots" growing on the statue's head, and his heart sank.
The next day.
It's calm.
Liang Qu asked Cha Qing to go out and ask around, but he didn't hear any changes in the General Temple.
The matter was kept secret.
"It's only three o'clock, it's not enoughβ" Liang Qu didn't think there was any difference in life at four o'clock, so he decided to go all out. "Find out, give me the remaining locations of the General Temple, as well as the ones in the Snow Mountain opposite the Blue Lake, and prepare two more kettles for me!"
