46, Town God's Temple(2/2)
But he had no evidence and could not catch the young Taoist.
The young Taoist tilted his head and said, "Let's go. Aren't we going to offer incense for Mr. Wu? I'll take a shortcut with you."
After saying that, the young Taoist turned around and led the way.
Bai Gu seemed to see a smug smile on the corner of the young Taoist's mouth the moment he turned around.
That's the smile of a villain.
Bai Gu tried his best to suppress his impetuous temperament and followed with Nan Yu.
The young Taoist led the two men on a rampage and went straight to the main hall.
In the middle of the main hall is the shrine statue of the City God.
The City God wears a king's hat, a yellow silk five-clawed dragon robe, and Liuyun Pegasus official boots. There is an incense table in front of him, with incense candles, stick sticks, and drums and chimes on it for the faithful men and women to offer incense and pay respect.
Next to the incense table are four goddesses, each wearing green, red, yellow and white Taoist robes. Each represents the four seasons and is known as the Four Seasons Goddess.
The young Taoist smiled and came to a tall middle-aged goddess wearing white Taoist robes and said, "Granny Dong, I have brought two friends here. They are here to offer incense for Mr. Wu."
The old lady Dong had a kind face and said with a smile: "It's a small matter. Everyone who comes is a kind-hearted pilgrim, not to mention that Taoist Qiu personally brought it. Then please ask one of the two to hold incense, worship the statue, and offer good advice."
With that said, Granny Dong picked up three incense sticks from the incense table, lit them, and handed them to the two of them.
Bai Gu wanted to take it, but Nan Yu beat him to it.
Nan Yu smiled and said, "Let me do it. I am a maid, and it is my duty to help Mr. Wu."
Bai Gu couldn't refuse Nan Yu's reason, so he had to let her do it.
Bai Gu thought for a while and said, "Grandma Dong, can you pray for health and safety here?"
Grandma Dong nodded, "It's okay for yourself and your family. Are you asking for peace, little pilgrim?"
Bai Gu nodded, took the three sticks of incense handed over by Granny Dong, looked at the tall statue of the City God, bowed, and said silently in his heart: "I hope Xiaoxiao can get well soon, and I hope the City God can bless Xiaoxiao safely."
May everything go smoothly, and your life will be safe."
Then Bai Gu followed Nan Yu to burn incense in the lion's head furnace in the square.
Returning to Grandma Dong, Bai Gu picked up the lottery tube and shook it gently. The tube made a "ranging, rattling, rattling" sound.
Within a few shakes, a bamboo stick fell off.
Grandma Dong picked it up and took a look. She took out a yellow talisman from the calculation example. On it was a bamboo stick prophecy that Bai Guqiu had brought.
Bai Gu took the prophecy, took out the purse entrusted by Mr. Wu from his arms, and handed it to Granny Dong, "This is the incense money handed over by Mr. Wu. It's all here."
Bai Gu took out another ten-tael silver ingot from his arms and handed it to Granny Dong, "This is my share of the incense money and the money for signing. In addition, I also ask Granny Dong to interpret the signature."
Granny Dong smiled slightly and said, "The Taoist priest's friend next to you is much more advanced in Taoism than I am. My pearls and jade are in front of me, and I don't dare to show my clumsiness. Besides, the little pilgrim is a friend of the Taoist priest. Wouldn't it be more convenient to ask him for interpretation?"
?”
Bai Gu looked at the young Taoist, who was staring at the incense money in Granny Dong's hand, his eyes and saliva almost falling out.
Bai Gu was full of suspicion.
