Chapter 1865 Rumors spread
When he walked out of the temple, he saw several civilians sneaking into the temple and stealing sacrificial utensils and fruits.
The main temple of Miaozhan Heaven is exquisitely built and is often decorated with treasures such as agate and jade. There are dozens of gold and silver sacrificial vessels on the altar.
The invisible majesty that usually shrouded this place disappeared, and the less devout civilians suddenly began to want to steal.
When Xun Tongwei ran out of the temple, he saw more than a dozen pilgrims falling to the ground and crying, as if they had lost their parents; but most of them were at a loss, looking back every few steps, and slowly dispersed.
Isn’t the Lord God omnipotent?
Since he died at the mouth of the Dragon God, it proved that he was not powerful enough.
How can a god who is not powerful enough gain everyone's faith?
Xun Tongwei hurriedly got on the carriage: "Take me to Situ's house, right away!"
Such a shocking event must be reported immediately!
……
Four days later.
Another ocean-going ship docked at Julu Port. Fang Canran walked along the gangplank onto the pier. A mother and son in front of him were almost pushed into the water by the surging crowd.
Fang Canran held them and looked up, only to see a crowd of people.
He had been to Julu Port once five months ago, and at that time he was impressed by the tremendous changes that had taken place here; but when he got off the boat today and took another look, he almost didn't recognize the place.
The port and the wharf were expanded again, and two long piers were newly built at the dock. Otherwise, there would be too many ships coming in and out and they would not be able to dock.
The fish and seafood pier has been moved to the east coast, and the west coast is only for passenger and cargo ships to enter and exit, so the guests no longer have to smell the pungent fishy smell.
As soon as the ship docks, the dock workers rush over to unload the cargo, like hardworking worker bees.
There are more numerous and more imposing buildings on the shore, and even the trees look particularly vigorous.
It seems that everything is thriving.
However, he had walked less than a hundred feet when his keen hearing caught the name "Dragon God" appearing no less than ten times.
The merchants coming and going seemed to be discussing this, and many people stood on the pier, gesticulating at the sea.
Before leaving the dock, a driver came up to grab customers, and asked Fang Canran with an enthusiastic/fake smile, "Where are you going, sir?" It only costs twelve copper coins to charter a car, and it can go anywhere in the port.
The price has gone up. It used to be only ten copper coins.
Fang Canran shook his head and turned to go to the Conch Tavern at the pier. He could not forget the yellow croaker noodles he had eaten here last time.
Have a bowl first, then go to Yangshan Chamber of Commerce.
This pub has also expanded to a second floor, and it is obviously doing well despite the fierce competition in the surrounding area.
Fang Canran walked in and just sat down to order a bowl of noodles when he heard someone ask:
"That Beacon Island? The Black Dragon?"
"Just listen to their nonsense. They are trying to deceive us, the outsiders."
"Why would I lie to you? Do I have money to take it? The black dragon was hovering over our Julu Port last night. I saw it with my own eyes!" said a local man. "Ask the people here, who didn't hear the dragon's roar? The whole Julu Port was awakened."
The stranger didn't believe it: "Did you see the black dragon land on the island with your own eyes?"
"Uh..." Not really.
Just then, the waiter came over and pointed out the window: "I saw it."
"That night, I slept on the second floor of this store. I was suddenly awakened by a dragon's roar in the middle of the night. When I got up, I saw a dragon flying in the sky!"
Fang Canran joined in the questioning: "How long will it take?"
"About a quarter of an hour. There were few clouds in the sky last night, so we could see the dragon clearly." The man continued, "Then the dragon landed on Beacon Island, that island!"
Looking out from the big window of the Conch Tavern, there is a small island made of a large reef in the inner bay of the harbor, with an area of more than 300 square meters. It is bare with only a few trees growing on its top. Passing ships use it as a positioning beacon, so it is named Beacon Island.
"Under the moonlight, the dragon's scales glowed darkly. You haven't seen it with your own eyes, so you can't understand how majestic it is!"
"and then?"
"Then the dragon went into the water, frolicked around in the harbor for a while, and then disappeared." The waiter said confidently, "But I wasn't the only one who saw it. There are a lot of people in the harbor, and the seafarers on the boat also saw the dragon swimming in the water! Just go out and ask around, you know, there are a lot of people who saw it!"
Just then, a man in a long robe walked into the tavern. He was about forty years old, tall and thin, holding a folding fan in his hand.
"Old Ding is here."
Fang Canran had met him a few months ago and knew that he was a storyteller who made a living by telling stories and jokes.
He has many routines and scripts, but a black dragon appeared at the port a few days ago, so of course everyone wanted to hear the story of the Dragon God.
The yellow croaker noodles that Fang Canran ordered were served, a big bowl of steaming hot food.
When he picked up the chopsticks, Lao Ding also lifted his robe and sat down at his own seat, drinking a cup of free tea to moisten his throat. His first words were shocking:
"Let's say that the Dragon God killed Miao Zhantian that night, but it's a foregone conclusion..."
With two taps, the chopsticks in Fang Canran's hand fell to the ground.
Everyone turned to look at him. Fang Canran said "sorry, sorry" while picking up the chopsticks, feeling shocked.
Is this the first news I heard after landing so powerful?
Do these people in the tavern know the weight of these five words "Miao Zhantian was killed"?
Fortunately, someone had already asked for him: "Hey, hey, what do you mean it's a done deal?"
Old Ding then described in vivid detail the strange phenomena that occurred in the Temple of the Goddess in Maiqiu.
Fang Canran could tell immediately that he was speaking according to the script, with all the details and key points taken into consideration.
But it doesn’t matter, the audience likes it this way.
Old Ding then said, "Alas, within a radius of 300 miles, not only the Miaozhantian Temple has seen abnormalities, but also the Fenghe Temple, Jinna Temple... There are also ominous signs. Overnight, all these divine powers disappeared!"
"What is Dragon God going to do?"
"What to do? The Dragon God has mercy on the world and eliminates the suffering of the Shining Gold. Whoever bullies the people and oppresses the Shining Gold will be destroyed by the Dragon God!" Old Ding shook his head and nitpicked his words, "Gods will be killed, and demons will be destroyed!"
Someone in the corner asked timidly, "God, do gods bully us too?"
"Do you think that only officials and bandits bully you?" Old Ding obviously recognized him. "I remember that your mother worshipped the god Jin very sincerely."
"Yes, all the money she earned from needlework went to pay tribute to the god Jin."
Lao Ding asked again: "How did your brother die?"
"I went into the mountains and was eaten by wolves."
"and then?"
"When my brother died, she went to the temple to cry and complain. The temple said that my parents had committed too many sins and brought disaster to their children. If they didn't want my sister and I to have an accident, they had to atone for their sins more devoutly."
"Have you redeemed yourself?"
The man was stunned: "No, I don't know."
"What about your family's money?"
"No more. This year my father was sick and our family had no money to treat him. He was almost carried away."
