Chapter 612 Temple Street
After lunch, he stayed in the clinic until three o'clock in the afternoon, and asked the clinic staff to leave work early on the grounds that Qianfan City was not stable recently. The doctors in the clinic were still nurses, and they walked faster and faster one by one, for fear that Zhu Jue would regret it on the spot.

The explanation that was thought out in advance didn't come in handy, and it can't be said to be a bad thing. After cleaning up, Zhu Jue took Suzi and Gu Yinxing to the religious area of ​​Qianfan City.

The matter entrusted to the store manager Gattuso in the religious goods store yesterday has been responded to, and now they are going to find the character who appeared in the interview program of the religious channel-Fisher Faraz.

Although Qianfan City is not a city with a strong religious atmosphere like Rongxia City, it still has a considerable number of believers because of its huge population base.

Therefore, among the 40 communities in the lower urban area of ​​Qianfan City, No. 7 and No. 27 communities are officially recognized as religious areas. It is estimated that this special setting is intended to cover the 40 communities in the lower urban area to the maximum extent. The purpose of Zhujue's trip The place is Community No. 27.

Of course, this does not mean that only believers are allowed to preach or live in these two communities, but it is just a compromise method thought up by the Thousand Sails City government in order to minimize the burden on the religious affairs management department.

All religious activities in these two communities can get a certain degree of help and support from the government, such as the parade on Halloween, the activities in these two communities are particularly rich, and may not be comparable to the spring festival in Rongxia City. The festival celebration can also attract many tourists to come and watch.

At the same time, the official government also allows various denominations to open formal large churches and temples after paying the so-called "sermon" tax, so that believers can have a place to worship, rather than arresting Father Kane before Zhujue The house was more of a small prayer hall than a church.

The things that have happened in Qianfan City recently are not rare, and they are not weird. Although the government is covering it up in every possible way, just like what happened in Community No. 1 yesterday, many things can only be deleted by deleting news reports. Word of mouth cannot be stopped. live.

However, to Zhu Jue's surprise, what happened one after another not only did not make the No. 27 community deserted, but it was much more lively than other communities!
The airship was flying in the outer space of No. 27 community. Zhu Jue held his mobile phone and looked at the steaming smoke on the street, the colorful prayer flags and the people passing by. In addition, No. 27 community is close to the bottom community. , Simple and rough street buildings are mixed in it.

It was supposed to be a lively scene, but because of the cluttered elements, it seemed dark and difficult to understand, causing people to frown subconsciously.

"Where are you waiting for us?"

As the manager of a religious shop, Gattuso has been immersed in this industry for a long time and knows a lot, so Zhu Jue paid extra money to hire him as a middleman. Not long after, Zhu Jue reached out and patted the driver's seat chair said,
"Platform No. 6, Gattuso's tea stall on the right side of the exit."

It took another ten minutes to arrive at stop No. [-] according to the electronic map.

As soon as the empty boat landed at the berth, Zhu Jue and his group passed the hue value test. As soon as they went out, a unique smell of incense sticks and burning candles greeted them, followed by another burst of noise that they didn’t know whether it was noise or The lively bells poured into their ears.

Zhu Jue wandered around the crowd, and soon locked onto Gattuso, who was holding a silver-white metal bowl and waving at a stall on the right side of the street.

"Is this the case in the No. 27 community?"

After crossing a wave of monks in saffron lama clothes and holding iron cymbals beating all the way, Zhu Jue came to the tea stand, and his eyes stayed on the crowded street again, and he couldn't help asking.

"Of course not. This is one of the few temple streets in the No. 27 community. It was originally just a street. A few years ago, Qianfan City was rebuilt. I heard that it was an integration of several sects with more believers after discussion. District, it is said to be peaceful coexistence and freedom of belief. Anyway, in my opinion, it means that there is so much money that everyone can earn together. Anyone of any denomination can see it."

Gattuso said as he got up and put the bowls in a row of depressions next to the booth. The cleaning robot that was cleaning nearby came slowly, and a sentence that Zhu Jue couldn't understand appeared on the screen whose head replaced the eyes. Sanskrit characters, waited until the former took out his mobile phone and scanned it on the screen, then raised his hand and swiped on his chest, then bowed and took the teacup away.

"Where's Fisher?"

Zhu Jue didn't intend to delve into the history of this temple street, and after getting a vague answer, he turned to ask the target person of this trip.

"At the spiritual retreat ahead, I made an appointment with him for an interview according to your request."

Gattuso is also a good person, he took money to do things, and started to walk forward as he spoke, signaling Zhu Jue and the others to follow.

It was almost evening, and because of the geographical location of the No. 27 community, the sky that was still bright when driving on the outer central empty floor quickly dimmed in the street.

However, the visibility on the street is not reduced at all, because Temple Street is also regarded as a commercial street in the No. 27 community to a certain extent, with a dense flow of people, there will naturally be no shortage of lights.

What's interesting is that the lighting in Temple Street is not entirely street lamps. To be precise, the street lamps here are not only located quite far from each other, but also the appearance is no longer a common style, but an old-fashioned one. A chandelier with an oval shade, which limits its range of illumination.

Therefore, the dark place between street lamps and street lamps has become a place for free play of some shops and stalls. They are hung on mechanical telescopic rods, with red lanterns pasted with square pieces of paper, translucent crystal lamps that scatter all kinds of light, and The shape is a bit like an enlarged version of Aladdin's spotlight.

To some extent, these different lighting fixtures represent that part of the religious culture of that place, just because the very old rusted buildings make the neighborhood look strange.

After walking half a street, Zhu Jue saw the preacher sitting on the lectern surrounded by candles, only wearing a white cloak to preach the scriptures, and also saw the crowd wearing "colorful" clothes , the dancing form looks a bit like a weird dance of a great god, a sorceress who shakes her head, and many people around are either applauding loudly, or raising their hands and doing some weird gestures to pray in a low voice.

It is clearly a religious ceremony, but in their opinion, there may be some performance art in it?
"There have been so many strange things happening in Qianfan City recently, how dare they gather a crowd to join in the fun?"

Zhu Jue looked sideways for a while with great interest, and felt the noisy flow of people around him, so he couldn't help asking.

"Haha, it's because there are so many strange things, that's why this place is so lively. You're not in this industry. They are eager for some supernatural events to happen. There are ghosts, so there are gods."

Gattuso explained casually, then turned around suddenly, glanced at Zhu Jue, and then pointed to a booth selling masks next to him, where there were people performing a scene of evil spirits eating people and then being expelled by gods, said in a muffled voice,
"If there are no demons, then what is the meaning of the existence of angels? People are afraid of hell, so people want to go to heaven."

"It's interesting. It seems that there are some small items for sale over there. Let's go and have a look."

Zhu Jue suddenly thought of something, turned around and walked towards the booth

"Hey, if you're going to visit Temple Street, why don't you come back after the discussion is over, I have to go home to have dinner at night, and you're just paying me to help you make an appointment with Fisher, being your 'tour guide' is not included in the service content. "

Looking at the two ladies who followed without saying a word, Gattuso, who originally expected them to persuade him, could only trot over to remind him.

In his opinion, Fisher Faraz is just a small character, but that’s what he said in private. Those who can go on talk shows to talk about their own teachings are naturally not simple people in this No. 27 community. If they are late, maybe this Even if a "business" is a failure, when the time comes to ask for the remuneration, who can he turn to for reasoning?

"Don't worry, I just bought two things. This gossip mirror is pretty good. How much does it cost?"

The reason why Zhu Jue made a detour here was naturally not the performances here, but the things sold here.

The brass-colored gossip plate, several grooves are outlined with cinnabar, and a convex mirror is embedded in the center. The whole is no more than the size of a palm, and there are quite obvious traces of hand-made. It should not be something on the assembly line, at most it was polished in the later stage. Old, it looks unexpectedly simple and exquisite.

"200, I will also give you a guidebook of cold knowledge about religion, how about it, you can earn it!"

The stall owner had a cross hanging on his chest, but the items on the stall did not match his sect at all.

"200. Is your gossip mirror inlaid with diamonds or gold-plated? If you sell it at this price, you won't be afraid of being stabbed in the back?"

As a colleague, Gattuso immediately stood up to expose the face of the other party's profiteers.

What a joke, this mirror is only 80 in his shop, and this is not the way to kill a pig!

Zhu Jue was fiddling with the gossip mirror, and glanced at the evil spirit pattern on the cover of the booklet that was only half a centimeter thick handed over by the stall owner, and the green sprouts and fangs, which looked like a guy from the oriental hell. He didn't say much, ignored Gattuso who was casting strange eyes, motioned for Suzi to pay, turned around and left.

"Sir, if you want to buy this mirror, just tell me. I have a better one. It's a town house. It can ward off evil and bring good luck, and it's a genuine gold-plated mirror. It's only for 998!"

Seeing that Zhu Jue didn't even intend to bargain, Gattuso immediately leaned over and said flatteringly.

"It's not necessary, it's really gold-plated, but it doesn't smell that bad. Let's go, everything that needs to be prepared is ready, take me to see Fisher, I'm in a hurry."

Put the gossip mirror in the pocket of the windbreaker casually, and look at the guidebook of cold knowledge about religion with one hand.

Gattuso didn't understand the meaning of Zhu Jue's words, but he didn't have the idea to get to the bottom of it. In his opinion, it is serious to bring people here as soon as possible.

Go to the front and start leading the way.

He didn't notice the black and purple energy overflowing from Zhu Jue's pocket with the gossip mirror at all.
