Yangjiang City is located near the East China Sea, and on the coast of the East China Sea, far away from Yangjiang City, there is an island called Dongji Island. That island is rich in a kind of thatch, and there are some strange gray-green marks on the thatch. Originally, Dongji Island was not
It is uninhabited, but during the war in the previous dynasty, people from a small town moved to Dongji Island in order to escape the war.
Later, Dajing ended the war and established a new dynasty. The people on Dongji Island also received help and built a fishing village on the island. Later, as the population expanded, it became a town, hence the name Yinmao Town.
Yinmao Town mainly focuses on fishing. After all, they can only rely on the sea to eat. However, there are also some side businesses, that is, thatch. This thatch is an excellent material for making paper, so they will also harvest thatch and sell it to
Yangjiangcheng Paper Mill on the shore.
Mu Changong's first impression of Yinmao Town was that it was very rundown.
He followed Bai Qiulian onto the boat and arrived in Yinmao Town in a daze. He was still wondering why he was traveling so fast. But when he thought of being with Bai Qiulian, these doubts were subconsciously thrown away.
Bai Qiulian's body has an indescribable charm, and she also has a faint but refreshing girl's body fragrance, which makes him addicted to it.
He wished he could hold Bai Qiulian in his arms and smell her carefully every day. However, now that he and Bai Qiulian arrived in Yinmao Town and got married directly, they would be killed first and married later. Then his father wouldn't be able to say anything.
But he never considered one thing at all, which was why Bai Qiulian found him.
But, these things are not important.
Walking on the streets of Yinmao Town, Bai Qiulian held his hand without saying a word. Only when he occasionally looked back, Mu Changong could detect the burning love in Bai Qiulian's eyes.
The weather at sea was extremely gloomy at the moment. Lead-colored dark clouds seemed to form in an instant, covering the sun. There was no sound of thunder, only the sound of torrential rain.
Bai Qiulian seemed to be like a fish in water, running happily in the rain.
Most of the surrounding houses are mottled and broken, and the desolate atmosphere is clearly visible in the dense and deserted town.
Perhaps because of the size of the island, the layout of the buildings in Yinmao Town is compact compared to the city. Therefore, the streets are like alleys. The width of about three feet can only allow two people of moderate size to walk one after another.
.
I don't know if there are borers or termites in the mottled and cracked wooden structure, but there is some inexplicable mucus in the cracks that have become moldy due to being invaded by water vapor all year round. Perhaps it was left by some crawling creatures such as snails or slugs.
Mu Chan Palace passed by a window, where there was a man who covered himself tightly, only revealing some pale skin and a pair of big bulging eyes.
This kind of pale skin looks like it has been soaked in water for a long time. I wonder if it is caused by the water vapor that is everywhere on the island.
After seeing the outsider Mu Changong, the person behind the window sill quickly retreated into the dark room.
Weird, every corner of this village and town exudes a strange atmosphere, which is like mixing with rain and dark clouds in the sky to form a cloud of suspicion.
Bai Qiulian... Is her hometown such a strange place?
Mu Chan Palace was very puzzled, but Bai Qiulian was like an elf in the rain, leading him to an unknown place.
After passing through the empty streets of dilapidated houses, they also arrived at the center of Dongji Island. In the center of Dongji Island, a small island, there are countless tall thatches growing.
Rooted here together with some relatively low trees,
The shadows caused by the canopy of the trees made the already dark environment even more gloomy, but Bai Qiulian still held his hand and walked step by step to the center of the island.
Perhaps because of the frequent walking of people, a deserted path was trampled here, but the ground was muddy for a while because of the humidity and rain.
Mu Changong staggered and almost fell down. Fortunately, Bai Qiulian's strength that was not suitable for his body shape held him back. He saw that in addition to his own footprints, there was something like the pressure of something winding under his feet.
mark.
Like a snake, but stronger than a snake.
And this winding indentation winds continuously behind him.
However, he didn't take it to heart. It seemed that after coming to this island, many things were not so important.
It was as if he had fallen into the light clouds. Although his mind was a little dazed, the hazy dreamlike feeling only made him aware of his instinctive joy, as if he had entered a dream.
Finally, after passing through the deserted path, Bai Qiulian led him to a temple.
This temple is not a Buddhist temple, nor is it a pure Taoist temple. It is more like a temple used to worship gods.
The tiles on this temple depict a strange fish-like creature, and even the Roof Beast is half human and half fish.
There are three big characters written on the plaque of the temple.
"Dagon Temple? What does Dagon Temple mean? Is it a god named Dagon?" Mu Changong subconsciously asked Bai Qiulian.
Bai Qiulian turned around, nodded, and said nothing. The girl's body fragrance seemed to be getting stronger in the rain.
It’s just...Dagon? He seemed to have heard this word somewhere.
But he couldn't remember it at all.
Dagon? Where did you hear that?
"Are you going to take me in?" Mu Changong asked Bai Qiulian.
Bai Qiulian nodded, but still didn't speak. He just wrote on the mud on the ground, which seemed not to be dirty at all.
"I am the temple blessing of Dagon Temple. It is because of Dagon Fish God that I can find you. It is Dagon Fish God who connects our dreams together. I have dreamed of you for many years."
"Ah? Are you a temple blessing?" Mu Changong was surprised, "I heard that temple blessings cannot get married?"
Bai Qiulian erased the writing on the ground and continued writing.
"I don't know about other temple blessings, but the temple blessings of Dagon Fish God are definitely acceptable, because Dagon Fish God hopes that his believers can have more children."
"Ah, that's it. Let's go in first." Although Mu Changong was puzzled, he and Bai Qiulian might feel uncomfortable after staying in the rain for so long, so he thought it would be better to take Bai Qiulian in first.
.
Bai Qiulian nodded, then pushed open the door of the temple and walked into the interior of the temple.
The interior of the temple is brightly lit, and all the decorations are closely related to the three elements of fish, people, and the ocean.
But what attracts Mu Chan Palace the most is a sculpture.
The sculpture seemed to be some kind of unknown beast. It had a bloated humanoid body with a vague outline of a human being. Under the round head were many tentacles. It looked like some soft substance with scales, as if it were
It's like fish jelly. Although the sculpture is solid, it looks like this strange feeling.
Huge bat-like wings hang low behind him, and the body with a humanoid outline sits curled up on a tall rectangular stone pillar, looking into the distance, as if staring at something, or calling for something.
And under the stone pillar, there was a half-human, half-fish that was prostrating. It seemed that the half-human, half-fish had been seen somewhere before, but I couldn't remember it.
On one side of the statue, there was a set of clothes neatly stacked, and there were some gold products pressed on the clothes. Mu Changong's eyes were attracted by those gold ornaments. Although they were said to be gold ornaments, their color was brighter than ordinary ones.
The gold should be lighter
A piece of gold jewelry is like a fish bone, but slightly curved, like a strange knife, but it is not as small as an ordinary fish bone, but thick, and the part of the fish head is the handle. Look
It must have been used for sacrifice. I don't know what kind of skilled craftsman polished this exquisite fish bone gold knife.
The other piece is a crown. Although it is strange and unfamiliar, it is extremely gorgeous. It can be clearly seen that it was carved with exquisite techniques by highly skilled craftsmen, because the surface of the crown is engraved with unusual patterns, some of which are simple.
The geometric shapes and some patterns seem to be related to the ocean. Many protrusions like thin snakes are densely packed but firmly arranged in a tight order from the outside of the crown, like snake hair, but this crown
It has an oval shape and can hang down to the back, or maybe it was originally worn by people with an oval head.
But Bai Qiulian's words cut off Mu Changong's obsessed gaze, and then Mu Changong also recovered and listened carefully to Bai Qiulian's words.
"That is a greater god, Cthulhu, the dragon god of the South China Sea. His true form is with a human head and an eighteenth dragon body, with Yinglong wings attached to his back. He sleeps in the crystal stone palace Lu Lu Ye at the bottom of the South China Sea. However, he is mostly in human form.
The Dagon Fish God worships the Dragon God of the South China Sea and is also the loyal servant of the Dragon God of the South China Sea, so we will also erect a statue of the Dragon God of the South China Sea in the Dagon Temple." Bai Qiulian spoke.
Her voice was melodious and sweet, but it had some other unnamed sounds, like being in water, with water pouring into her throat, which was quite weird.
"It turns out you can talk." Mu Changong smiled awkwardly, a little dryly, "I thought you couldn't talk."
"I just can't speak, don't you have to marry me?" Bai Qiulian smiled sweetly, "Besides, it's not that I can't speak, I just can't speak outside the Dagon Temple. The Dagon Fish God said that my voice can
If I confuse a lot of people, my miraculous power will be discovered and I will be captured."
Bai Qiulian opened his small mouth, with neat white teeth and a soft and delicate tongue. Mu Changong was a little restless, but he still suppressed it.
"Then, why did you bring me in?" Mu Changong asked Bai Qiulian.
Bai Qiulian said, took Mu Changong's hand and put it on his face.
"I brought you here to let Dagon Fish God witness the union between us."
