It was so dark that I could barely see my fingers.
Everyone followed the person holding a torch in the dark and walked forward silently.
At this moment, it is a struggle between man and nature.
The dark world is like chaos.
Suddenly, like the sword of creation, a dazzling light illuminated the entire world.
People's eyes clearly reflected the fleeting thunder that plunged straight down from the sky, and their hearts were shocked.
Then the sound of "rumbling, rumbling..." exploded in the sky, and the sound was left in the mortal world, echoing back and forth among the mountains.
"Papa pa pa"
Three or two big raindrops fell and fell on the ground, cars, and people's faces.
Then, thousands of raindrops fell from the lead clouds, falling to the ground and throwing up countless water splashes. The torch at the front was extinguished by the violent heavy rain.
Lost direction.
The convoy came to a standstill and people began to panic.
"Bang bang bang bang bang..."
In the carriage, Zhou Yang looked at the tarpaulin above his head being gradually wetted by the rain, and reached out to take out a large black umbrella as a spare.
Opposite me, Xiao Longnu was sitting there with a serious face, not even the slightest bit drunk.
Zhou Yang opened the curtain, and suddenly the strong wind and rain hit his face.
"Woo~"
The pouring rain finally failed to penetrate, and an invisible barrier like a curved glass blocked them out.
The narrow mountain road became wet and slippery, and the clothes of the men in the caravan were soaked through.
However, the goods on the car were covered with raincloths.
"There is at most three hundred meters ahead of you, the Guandi Temple. Everyone, cheer up!"
Dai Baojian's voice was extremely high, as if shouted through a loudspeaker, penetrating through the layers of rain and echoing in the caravan.
He walked at the front of the caravan, holding up a fist-sized pearl in his hand that emitted red light, shadowy in the rain.
"There really is a big temple."
After turning an intersection, Zhou Yang saw the large temple on the top of the mountain through the deep darkness and rain curtains with his eagle eyes.
If it is said to be a temple, it can almost be regarded as a palace.
Standing alone on the top of the mountain, it looked very lonely.
After walking this short journey for more than ten minutes, the convoy arrived in front of the Guandi Temple.
Outside the temple wall, there is a wide square. Due to its long disrepair, wild grass and wild flowers have grown wildly in the cracks between the bricks. At this time, they were also hit by the strong wind and rain and were lying on the ground, unable to raise their heads.
Under the command of the steward and the escort chief, forty-seven large vehicles arrived one after another and gradually gathered in the open space of the square.
"Zhizhizhi..."
The iron nails on the door were rusty and the brass lock had been stolen long ago.
When you push the door open, it makes a squeaking sound due to its age and disrepair. No one has been here for an unknown period of time.
The people in the caravan, like clockwork, under the command of Sanitation and Dai Baojian, endured the heavy rain hitting them, and quickly carried the goods on the carriage into the main hall.
Zhou Yang also hugged Doudou and got out of the carriage, opening the big black umbrella.
Xiao Longnu followed closely behind, standing under the umbrella, and the two of them walked towards the temple gate.
Above the gate, there is a high-hanging plaque with three characters written from top to bottom: Guandi Temple, which is quite charming.
There were originally couplets on both sides, but now they are bare. I don't know if they were stolen or erased.
Entering the yard, the first thing you see is a towering tree.
"Sycamore tree!"
Zhou Yang looked at this sycamore tree, with lush branches and leaves, strong branches, and an astonishing height of more than thirty meters.
What is particularly surprising is that this towering sycamore tree is red gold in color and looks quite extraordinary.
Standing under this lush sycamore tree, even the heavy rain became gentler. The crackling raindrops fell and hit the umbrella vertically.
"Ahem..."
The main hall, which has been deserted all year round, is filled with dust. As soon as people come in, the dust is stirred up, making the throat itchy and coughing.
The men in the convoy were hurriedly carrying the goods on the car and did not notice that there was no trace of water on Zhou Yang and Xiao Longnu who walked into the temple hall in the pouring rain.
The two of them calmly found a corner.
Xiao Longnu waved her sleeves, and her true energy surged into a whirlwind, blowing away the dust on the ground.
Just as he was about to sit down, he found that Zhou Yang had already taken out two small round cushions and spread them on the ground.
Sit on it, it's soft and bouncy, it wraps your buttocks, it's warm and considerate.
Xiao Longnu looked at Zhou Yang curiously, feeling so comfortable going out to do tasks with him.
Even in the small details of daily life, we pursue quality like this——
It is really incompatible with the time-traveling children who do not pay attention to details on the battlefields of the heavens.
"Eat some fruit."
Zhou Yang sat cross-legged on the soft cushion, took out a plate of fruit from the fruit box in the kitchen of the portable space, and placed it on the open space in front of him.
While picking up a banana and handing it to Xiao Longnu, he listened to the conversation of the caravan man over there.
"Dai Biaotou, how come there is a Guandi Temple in this barren mountain?"
"This temple has been abandoned for several years. No one has repaired or replaced the tiles, but it can still provide shelter from wind and rain."
After carrying the goods, the men who were finally able to sit down and rest took off their outer clothes one by one and squeezed out the water with both hands.
Someone set fire to the straw mat in the temple, dried the collected firewood, and lit two bonfires.
Two large pots of ginger water are boiling on the campfire.
"This Guandi Temple was still very popular just a few years ago. There was a town at the foot of the mountain, and villagers from more than a dozen villages all worshiped this Guandi Temple. Because the mountains were barren, these mountain people traveled all over the country to do business.
The family was wealthy, so when they had money, they renovated the Guandi Temple on the mountain. Although the temple was dilapidated, the tiles were made of burnt glass tiles from Jingdezhen.
However, just about four or five years ago, in the town at the foot of the mountain, more than a thousand people in a dozen villages were massacred overnight, including women and children. Later, some said it was monsters who killed people, and some said it was bandits.
, there are different opinions, and there is no definite answer, but the death of more than a thousand people in the town was horrific. When they were discovered, their mummies seemed to have been drained of blood, which caused a great sensation in several surrounding counties at that time.
Later, the news was suppressed by the authorities.
It was then that the Guandi Temple fell into disrepair and became a deserted temple."
Sitting in front of the campfire, shirtless men listened to Dai Baojian telling stories, with the firelight reflecting on their faces.
It was scary to say, but so many people gathered together, but there was not much panic. After listening to the story, everyone laughed and cursed, told dirty jokes, and talked about women, and the atmosphere gradually became heated.
"Dad, eat tangerines."
Doudou peeled an orange for Zhou Yang.
"Remember the oranges."
Zhou Yang picked up the peeled orange and corrected it casually.
Doudou followed and chanted: "Ju Zhi~"
"Sir, girl, drink some ginger soup to warm yourself up and don't catch the cold..."
At this time, the health official came over with 20,000 pieces of ginger soup.
He is in his forties, of medium build, with a goatee on his chin. He looks gentle and quite charitable.
He was wearing a gray scribe's robe. Although it was soaked, he did not take it off. He just squeezed out the water and now it was wrinkled on his body.
When I got closer, I saw that Zhou Yang, Xiao Longnu, and the children were all dry, even their shoes were dry. I was suddenly surprised. Then I saw bananas, oranges, grapes and other fruits in the fruit bowl on the ground.
I was even more surprised that this family could still produce these fruits in such an environment.
"Bang!"
While they were talking, the palace door suddenly opened, and a strong wind blew in heavy rain, causing the bonfire to sway.
