It is said that in ancient times, transportation here was inconvenient, surrounded by water, and the land was vast and sparsely populated. People could only go out by boat to travel.
There are a large number of water snakes in the water of Zhanghu Lake, which will attack passers-by and ships, so a temple was built to burn incense day and night and worship the snake king in the water to pray for peace. This is the origin of the earliest Snake King Temple.
I had been nearby before, but when they heard that I had a foreign accent, they refused to let me in. This long-haired scalper said he could get me and Brother Yu in, but it would only cost a few dozen yuan.
There was that young couple traveling with me. The man must be a second-generation rich man. I saw that he was using the best Sony card camera at the time.
We took a sightseeing bus and arrived near the Snake King Temple. The long-haired cow made a sound and counted the money while saying: "Everyone, your money will definitely not be wasted. You can go around here as you like. I will communicate with you right away and we will go see the Snake Girl right away."
"
The first thing I saw after entering was a couplet: "The legacy of Fujian and Yue, only my lake peak survives, the Immortal Capital Dragon Cave, crowned by the Snake King's Palace."
The temple was full of incense and noisy, and there was an endless stream of locals coming to burn incense.
"Honey, hubby! Look at this roof, it's amazing!"
The second-generation rich man hugged his girlfriend, looked up at the top of the temple and said with a smile, "Indeed, this carving is amazing."
The top of the temple is a giant wooden roof made up of several solid wooden boards. It is densely packed and carved with thousands of small snakes. These snakes are intertwined with each other, their heads rush down, and they spit out messages.
I think the style of these wood carvings should be Dongyang wood carvings of the old society.
After wandering for a while, the long-haired scalper hurriedly ran over and said, "It's ready. I'm going to say it again. You can only watch it through the window."
five minutes later.
"Where is this? Didn't it say it was in a temple?"
Two hundred meters north of the temple is the national highway. He took a few of us to the door of an adobe house.
"Where do you care? Just see it. Don't you know why I left for you?"
When scalpers speak, their eyes look forward and backward, giving people a mysterious feeling.
"Bang bang bang!"
Long Hair knocked on the door twice and shouted: "Master, open the window and let us take a look."
After a few seconds, someone opened the window of the adobe house from the inside, and we all crowded around the window to watch.
My pupils slowly contracted and I saw it.
There is a big jar in the middle of the room, like a black jar for pickles.
There was a woman in the jar, with only her head exposed. The woman's hair was so long that it almost reached the ground.
Because her hair was spread out and covered her face, we couldn't see her facial features at all from the window. This woman was motionless, as if she had no arms or legs, sitting in the jar.
"Why don't you move? You can't see your face."
The rich second generation turned to look at the long hair and said anxiously: "Where is the tongue? I want to see the tongue. Didn't it mean that the snake girl's tongue is very long, can it lick her own eyes? She can't even see what she looks like."
"You can watch it if you want?"
The long hair blocked the window and said: "You just spent thirty yuan and you still want to see the tongue? Are you dreaming?"
"You just said you could see it!" said the rich second generation.
"You can watch it! You have to pay extra!"
"Three hundred and five for one person, seven hundred for the two of you."
"you!"
"What are you doing? If you don't have money, leave quickly. There are many people who want to see it. I have to go and receive the next wave of customers."
The rich second generation was irritated and cursed: "Damn it, who said I don't have money? I have plenty of money!"
"Give me the bag!"
He directly grabbed his girlfriend's purse without counting it, took out a wad of money, estimated to be about two thousand, slapped it on the long hair and said: "Look! Stick out your tongue! I want to see these two things now!"
As a brother, I also paid for it!
I was stunned and said thank you.
He waved his hand and magnanimously said that he was fine, that he was not short of money, and that my girlfriend’s bags were all made of taillights.
