Chapter 144 Stone Statue
We also went to see the Nuwa stone on the Bashu side, and it is indeed there. It is in the Nuwa temple, in the hands of the Nuwa statue.

This is much more difficult to get than the water ladle in Qiuzichi.

This is where there are real guards.

The Nuwa Temple has existed for a long time, but it has only been renovated recently. There are still a few Taoist priests who have no Taoism in the temple.

This time we didn't look for other places, we went directly to the Taoist priests of Nuwa Temple to donate some incense money and then stayed.

This temple is very small, just a main temple and two residences.

Two Taoist priests lived in one room, and the three of us lived in another room.

I slept on the bed, while Zhang Wanmo and Yan Shuyuan made the floor.

They also ate home-cooked food from other villagers.

"How about we buy it again?"

At night, none of the three of us fell asleep, lying on the bed and chatting on the ground.

"Forget it, just do this kind of thing once." And this time, they didn't succeed in doing it. They were caught by others and came to the door. Even Yan Shuyuan was educated.

"Buying by force is not enough, but outsmarting is okay."

It turned out that Yan Shuyuan had another idea.

Although the Nuwa Temple has been rebuilt once, it still looks very simple. If he pays for the renovation of the Nuwa Temple, and in the process, secretly replaces the Nuwa Stone No one else will know except us.

That's how things settled.

Early the next morning, we found the Taoist priests in the temple to discuss this matter.

The Taoist priests were originally residents of the nearby villages, and they were lazy and wanted to live by guarding the Nuwa Temple. Even though it was repaired more than ten years ago, the incense in this temple is not very good. When we heard that we were going to renovate the Nuwa Temple Temple, it's too late to be happy.

On the same day, Yan Shuyuan called Du Ai, and it would not take much effort to repair a sparsely populated Nuwa Temple, let alone the temple is on flat ground.

It costs more money.

The Nuwa in the Nuwa Temple was originally a stone statue. When it was repaired, we found an excuse, saying that it was to get her to look good.

Who knew that there was a dispute with two Taoist priests on this matter.

"Master Yan, it's not that we don't know good from bad. You can change this Nuwa Temple at will, but this Nuwa stone statue cannot be moved."

"Yes, yes, when we came to be the temple keeper, the previous temple keeper had already warned us not to move the statue of Nuwa, as long as it is moved, it will not be effective."

Two Taoist priests stood guard at the gate of the temple, one explaining and the other apologizing.

I was afraid that Yan Shuyuan would feel that he didn't know what to do, so he would drive the benefactor away in anger.

"Is there still such a saying?" Du Ai on the side tried to smooth things over.

"Yes, yes, after we took over the Nuwa Temple, we followed the instructions of the previous temple owner and did not dare to act rashly."

These two people seem to be greedy for life, afraid of death and greedy for money, but the stubbornness belonging to the rural people is still there in their bones, so it is not easy to handle.

According to Bai Xue, the energy of the last fragment of Nuwa stone is much greater than that of the previous pieces. If it is taken out, the statue of Nuwa stone will not be preserved at all.

"What should we do?" Zhang Wanmo frowned and looked at the tea cup in front of him.

"It's really not possible, let's just replace the prince with a civet cat." Seeing Yan Shuyuan's health getting worse and worse, I really couldn't think of any other way.

"The civet cat for the prince?"

"Well, let's have someone make a statue of Nuwa according to this statue, and then secretly replace the whole statue of Nuwa." Although this method is not very good, there is no solution.

"Yes." Yan Shuyuan nodded, telling Du Ai to do this quickly.

"Bai Xue, why don't you go pick it up yourself?" Zhang Wanmo leaned closer to Bai Xue's side, "If you pick it up secretly in the middle of the night, even if the stone statue of Nuwa is broken, you can leave right away, and we will go out again at that time. The two Taoist priests will think that it was broken by themselves, and maybe they will think that it is the reason for repairing the Nuwa Temple, so they will not let us repair it, can Master Yan save another money?"

"I'm not going!" Bai Xue sat down in my arms, "This god doesn't bother with such sneaky things."

"Sneaky? Don't we do these things that have nothing to do with you? I did them all because you needed the fragments of the Nuwa stone!"

Zhang Wanmo was unconvinced, Bai Xue was acting good at taking advantage of it, and then wanted to get rid of these things.

"That's right, it has nothing to do with me. Aren't you voluntarily donating the fragments of Nuwa stone to me? As for how you got them, that's up to you."

Bai Xue usually wouldn't say such heartless things, but she always had her own ideas about the Nuwa stone fragments.

"You!" Zhang Wanmo was in a hurry, but he couldn't find anything wrong with what Bai Xue said.

"Okay, this matter, we still proceed according to the original plan." I stopped Zhang Wanmo from continuing to argue.

It's pointless, as long as we get there.

It took two days to re-engraving the stone statue. On the day of replacement, Zhang Wanmo and Yan Shuyuan took two Taoist priests to drink and eat, and tried their best to get them drunk.

I took this opportunity to swap the stone statue with Duai and two hired workers from other places.

The real stone statue of Nuwa was taken to the wilderness, about two or three kilometers away from the Nuwa Temple.

"Okay, here it is." Should not be found.

Because of the matter of taking the fragments, the workers were dismissed by Du Ai, leaving us two, "Chen Xing, should we take it now, or wait until Master Yan comes?"

"Take it now." I looked at the time and said.

It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, and Yan Shuhang and Zhang Wanmo usually did not drink at all, so it was unlikely that they would get the two veterans drunk.

But what we want is already in front of us, so there is no need to wait any longer.

Du Ai couldn't see the Nuwa Stone, so I was the only one who could do it.

The nuwa stone is inside the stone held by the statue, and it is integrated with the whole statue. It is impossible to remove it alone, which is why we want to replace the whole statue.

I held a hammer in my hand, and I stepped forward and chiseled off the stone in the hand of Nuwashi, which was lying horizontally.

The sound of the chisel was still quite loud. After the chisel was removed, the Nuwa stone began to crack from the hand, and then the entire stone statue was shattered.

Click!

A thunder flashed across the sky.

The weather has been sunny for the past two days, and it is impossible to rain. Why is it suddenly thundering now?
boom!
A bolt of lightning struck down, just not far away.

It almost hit us.

I looked up at the sky, could it be that God is warning me?
