Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 156 Gods Believed in Taoist Religion ([-]rd watch)
"I'm with you..."

Ji Wuyan shook his head, "No, I'll just go in and have a look. It's just a matter of a few steps to the left and right. There won't be any danger." As he spoke, he lifted his hem and went up the steps.

Even so, those who should keep up still followed, not half a step behind.

I went to the main hall first, turned around and found nothing.

The Taoist religion in Houshan was the original stronghold of the sect. Even though the sect became more and more famous later, and there were many disciples in the sect, it was only renovated once or twice, and there was not much change.Therefore, it does not occupy a large area. In addition to the main hall, there is also the east side hall. Walking up the mountain road on the west side, there are scattered houses, most of which are poorly furnished and can be seen at a glance.

It's really empty.

Among the few, Shen Luoxin was the weakest in physical strength. When she returned to the front hall, she leaned on the incense cauldron and gasped for breath, "I always heard people say how powerful the celestial master is, how many terminally ill wealthy businessmen and officials carried Gold and silver treasures came to the door to seek treatment. I thought this religion should be paved with gold bricks and luminous pearls embedded in the walls. How do you look at it? It’s a small temple that has been in disrepair for a long time... Then where are the gold and silver treasures ?”

Cen Yan has been holding his sword with his waist since he went up the mountain. Hearing this, he sneered, "You are an idiot, the imperial palace is not so luxurious. This religion is on the edge of the imperial city, how dare you be so arrogant. Even if it is a mountain of gold and silver, you have to dig a tunnel to bury it, the so-called wealth is nothing more than... exposed..."

As he spoke, his eyeballs suddenly widened, "No... really dug a tunnel, right?"

"It's not impossible..." Ji Wuyan held her chin, she was injured, and she was a little tired after walking these mountain roads, so she leaned on the tripod just like Shen Luoxin.

He barely leaned on it, and he didn't know which mechanism he leaned on, so the tripod was pushed and moved to the side.

The two were careless and almost fell backwards at the same time. Fortunately, the two were also clever and pulled each other to stand firm.

In the front hall, there was a sound of grunts suddenly. It seemed that the gears that had been stuck in disrepair for a long time were slowly starting. The sound was actually not loud, but now the vastness and emptiness of the mountains and forests seemed a bit deafening.

Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, and then all went to the front hall in the next moment.

As Cen Yan walked, his eyes shone brightly, "It's really the day of honoring our ancestors! Mountains of gold and silver, treasures that are inexhaustible and inexhaustible... Oh my god, I've been hit by my words! What kind of luck, did you step on dog shit when you went out today...? You really should have brought Ziqiu here, and the money fan will be so happy to see you..."

Rubbling and gearing up, without paying attention, she bumped into Shen Luoxin who was in front of her.

In front, everyone was stunned.

In the empty hall with nothing but three dusty futons, a sculpture rose up.A monster with a blue face and fangs, a wolf head and a human body, holding a huge sickle in his left hand and a balance in his right hand, just looking at it makes people feel uncomfortable.

"This is... the... demon believed in by the Taoist religion?" Rao Ji Wuyan felt that he had seen a lot in this life, but he still felt a little apprehensive about this huge sculpture.

Shen Luoxin stared at the sculpture even more, feeling that her perception of the world had been subverted.

"Death...God..." she murmured.According to legend, a sickle in one hand and a balance in the other, judged by weighing the heart of the deceased. In ancient Egyptian legends... Anubis, the god of death.Why is it here?Why did it appear in this other world's time and space?Or... he is still on the earth?Is this just a small fragment of history that has been forgotten and no one knows?

"Death? This thing is a death? Lord Hades? It doesn't look like it... It seems that the Taoism that believes in this thing is not a good thing..." Cen Yan turned around the whole sculpture with his chin in his hands.

Standing there, Shen Luoxin felt cold hands and feet.

Everything around her gradually faded away, and someone was talking in her ears, but she couldn't hear clearly, she just felt that her five senses were closed, as if she had returned to the panic and helplessness when she first faced this completely strange world.

Her fingertips were wrapped in warmth, and someone whispered in her ear, "Luo Xin, Luo Xin?"

Who is Luo Xin?Her name is not Luo Xin, what is her name... Who is she?Luo Xin... Oh yes, she is also Luo Xin, Shen Luoxin, the daughter of Doctor Yu Shi and a coworker, with a father and mother, a close friend Ji Wuyan, and many members of the Ji family.

Consciousness gradually came back, the sunlight coming in from the outside was too dazzling to make people feel unreal, but the hand holding her was real and gentle.

"I just... just remembered something, it's okay." She said, smiling and shaking Ji Wuyan's hand, "It's okay, it's over."

Yes, it's all over.

In the first few years, I wanted to go back like crazy, but gradually I began to be content with the status quo, thinking that it is not bad to live with Xu Siniang.Until this moment, when she saw Anubis, she was suddenly relieved.

No matter what the truth is, it doesn't matter whether this is another continent or a drop in the ocean in the long river of history.

She was here, they were all here, and these years were real life.

"Come quickly! Girl, girl, come here!" Cen Yan raised his arms and waved behind the sculpture, "There is a hole here! Treasure! Treasure!"

Behind the sculpture, there is indeed a downward passage. Looking down from above, one can see winding steps down one after another until the end of the line of sight.

"I'll go down and have a look." Ji Wuyan raised her skirt and was about to go down, "You wait for me up there."

"No! We want to go together." Gucuo refused without thinking.

Ning Xiuyuan smiled and persuaded, "Brother Gucuo, don't try to be brave. You spent a lot of energy chasing the man in black just now. Don't worry, I'll go in with Wuyan. The carriage has already prepared a hot water bottle." Tea, you go to rest first, just help us to watch. No, Miss Shen is still outside, if the black-robed man leaves and returns, it will be dangerous, you can't let Miss Shen also Come with us?"

Miss Shen: I always feel that I have suddenly become a tool person.But in front of the emperor, he was like a mayfly shaking a tree, weak and helpless, he dared not speak.

Cen Yan: In fact, if you protect Miss Shen, you can protect yourself too, but I dare not say it, for fear that the next chance to glorify my ancestors will be lost.

Therefore, the two of them didn't even need to make eye contact, and they silently backed away while the other took two steps forward, "I originally thought that I was a doctor and could take care of Wuyan, but I didn't realize it, and it suddenly became a burden." .So, I have to trouble you..." In the words, politely added honorifics.
