Liao Zhai's Refining God

Chapter 209
At this moment, looking down from the top of the mountain, in a village at the foot of Wuyunfeng Mountain, villagers walked out of the village one after another, and rushed towards the edge of Jinghua Lake with baskets and baskets on their backs, as if they were going to the market, which made Wang Lin quite embarrassed Interested, after all, we want to investigate the situation in Jinghua Lake. When we encounter such a situation, we will naturally go to investigate, so we call Guo Zilin and Guo Xiaoying to rush down the mountain.

"Brother Wang, I heard from my father that the lake crab in Jinghua Lake is a must. It is best eaten in autumn every year. Now it is the season. How about inviting the two gentlemen to taste it?" Going down the mountain road, Guo Xiaoying said mischievously.

Last night, she was full of worries and sat silently on the top of the mountain. Even if Wang Lin and Guo Zilin shared dry food and let her eat, she was not very willing to respond and participate.On the contrary, I feel better this morning. Wang Lin really can't see through the girl's thoughts.

"Will it be expensive?" Guo Zilin was a little afraid of this girl who changed her face when she said it, so she said cautiously.

"Don't worry, someone will treat you naturally. I'm going to Jinghu Villa to deliver things this time. How can they not treat us to a meal of lake crabs. Do you know Jinghu Villa?" Guo Xiaoying said.

Both Wang Lin and Guo Zilin shook their heads. There are many villas in Xiaguo, how could they know about Jinghu Villa.

"You don't know about Jinghu Villa, but do you know about that moon tassel?" Guo Xiaoying chirped.

"It's General Liusu, Hou Yue of Loyalty." Guo Zilin said in a daze.

"Exactly. Unexpectedly, brother Guo is so knowledgeable that he knows Yue Liusu." Guo Xiaoying said.

"Oh, is there any allusion to this moon tassel?" Wang Lin was also interested immediately.

"I heard from Mr. Private School that Tassel this month was born as a daughter, but she has strong martial arts skills. When she was 16 years old, she lived in Hua County with her father. His father was the captain of Hua County. Once thousands of thieves besieged Hua County, Yue Liusu's father was shot and injured by the thieves, unable to command the battle, Yue Liusu, who was only 16 years old, led the crowd to fight against the enemy and defeated the thousands of thieves.

At that time, the founding emperor of the Xia Kingdom was very appreciative when he heard about it, and promoted Yue Liusu to the rank of general, which was a precedent for promoting a woman to the rank of general. Fighting, seven battles and seven victories, repelling the millions of nomads, driving the nomads back to the west of the Kunlun Mountains in one fell swoop, and becoming famous in one battle.It is a pity that he died young and died at the border when he was 26 years old. " Guo Zilin sighed.

"Brother Guo is really good at learning. This Jinghu Villa is the Yue family's villa. After Yue Liusu died in battle, his bones were buried near the villa. The founding emperor of Xia State wrote his own handwriting on the big stone tablet in front of the Jinghu Villa. The inscription: 'Civilian officials get off their sedan chairs, and military officials get off their horses', as a compliment to the moon tassels.

Because of this, Jinghu Villa has a great reputation. After so many years of operation, although Jinghu Villa is not well-known in the official circle, it is a powerful existence in the Jianghu martial arts world.The Yue family's sword technique is also a must in martial arts.

This time, the owner of the farm personally wrote a letter to ask my father to borrow something from my family. "Guo Xiaoying said triumphantly as she patted her burden.

"Brother Wang, I have admired Yuesu for a long time, why don't we go to the Mirror Lake Villa?" Guo Zilin said.

"Alright, with such a heroine, how can we not go and have a look." Wang Lin said.

"Old man, what are you doing here?" Walking down the mountain, Wang Lin found that those in the villages and towns were walking along the main road towards Jinghu Lake. Everyone was carrying items in their hands, including chicken, duck, fish, food, cloth, etc.Wang Lin couldn't help asking.

"Master the Lake God blesses us with good weather and abundant crops. It is natural to go to worship the master, offer incense and sacrifices to the master." The old man said loudly like singing an opera.

"Lord Lake God bless us with good weather and abundant crops." The people who followed seemed to be afraid that others would not know, and they all said loudly one by one.

"Is this Master Lake God very effective?" Guo Zilin suddenly asked with interest.

"Hush!" The old man grabbed Guo Zilin, looked left and right, and then said in a low voice, "Outsiders, be careful what comes out of your mouth."

"Brother Guo, do as the Romans do, don't talk nonsense." Wang Lin also hurriedly said.

"Yes yes yes!" Guo Zilin said hurriedly since he encountered a ghost last time.

"It seems that there is a lake god in this Jinghua Lake, and it is not bad for the surrounding folks. With so many people offering incense, their cultivation should not be weak, but why the boat of the boat gang fell into it, it should not be the work of ghosts, maybe They are really bandits." Wang Lin thought for a while, and decided to go to the lake god's temple with everyone.

Walking to the side of Jinghua Lake, Wang Lin couldn't help being stunned by the grandeur of the lake god temple.The entire temple was built in a very ostentatious manner. The marble-paved square was a kilometer wide. The temple above the square was built magnificently. A huge statue of God stood in the towering temple, which could be seen from a distance.

Behind the temple, there are rows of houses, all of which are part of the temple building, just like a small palace.

At this time, rows of people offer incense to the statue, and then hand over the offerings to the nearby temple for blessing.

"Second Li, the Lord of the Lake God blesses us with good weather, which is why you have such a good life. Why is your sacrifice only twenty eggs, do you honor the Lord of the Lake like this?" At this time, a sharp voice The cry came from the side, which immediately attracted the attention of Wang Lin and others.

"Master God Envoy, I beg you to intercede with Master Lake God. My father is seriously ill, and all the property in the family has been exhausted. Only these twenty eggs are the most valuable, and the villain has already offered them sincerely." The 40-year-old The man immediately fell to his knees and begged.

"Sincerely, I think you are fooling the master of the lake god. I will report the truth to the master of the lake god. If you have no other property to offer, you know what to do tonight. Hehehe." The temple Zhu said sarcastically.

"Master God Envoy, Lord God Envoy, no, no, I have wives and children at home, please ask Lord Lake God for mercy, please!" the man hugged Miao Zhu's leg tightly and said.

"Go away!" There were more than a dozen burly men standing behind Miaozhu. One of them came over and kicked the man away. , looking terribly miserable.

"Stop making noise here." The Miao Zhu yelled at Li Laoer.Li Laoer's pleading was ineffective, and he left in a daze and stumbled.

At this time, there was an endless stream of people coming to offer incense in the entire square, and they seemed to turn a blind eye to this scene. They walked forward one by one with their heads bowed, and the entire square was unusually quiet.

"Brother Wang, you didn't say that the gods protect the people and only ask for the power of incense and fire. But what is going on? Why are so many sacrifices forced to be offered?" Guo Zilin was a little puzzled.

Along the way, Guo Zilin asked Wang Lin about the gods, but Wang Lin didn't hide anything and told him in detail.prevent him from being in danger in the future.

"There's something wrong with this." Wang Lin pondered for a moment and continued: "Let's check here tonight. Why do these temples collect so many sacrifices? Why is that man so scared?"
