Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 136 The Orthodox Method

When the weather cleared and the danger passed, the ships on the canal began to sail quickly with all sails lowered.

Yang Ben just came back from the stern to wash up, and he walked towards Yi Shuyuan on the front deck naturally. After last night, he felt that he and this Mr. Yi were already friends.

But when he walked to the front deck, he found that Yi Shuyuan was asking about old man Meng.

"The Temple of Kaiyang Water God?"

Old man Meng, who was putting down the mainsail to fix an angle, finished what he was doing, and looked at Yi Shuyuan in a little surprise.

"Mr. Yi, didn't you say that you don't rush for the exam?"

"It's true that I don't rush for the exam, but I also want to learn about the scenery along the way."

Yang Bencai had just come here, and he couldn't help but volunteered to speak when he heard the voice.

"The Temple of the Great River, I have inquired about it a long time ago. The Temple of the Boyungang River, the first temple of the Grand Canal in Kaiyang, is the best and most effective place for incense! The sesame oil is a bit expensive, so I am ready. By the way. , Uncle Meng, will our boat stop there for a while?"

As soon as Yang Bencai spoke, he looked at the old man Meng who was beside the mast. The latter smiled, nodded and looked at Yi Shuyuandao.

"Young Master Yang is right, the first temple of the Kaiyang Grand Canal is in Boyungang."

As he spoke, the old man Meng looked at Yang Ben before continuing.

"But the berths in Boyun Port are tight, and the berth fee is relatively expensive. Although our ship needs to stop there to buy some food and supplies, it will not stop at Boyun Port. It should be parked seven or eight miles outside the port as usual. Xiaohe Village."

Yang Bencai was shocked when he heard this.

"Ah? Not stopping at Boyungang? How could this be possible! I have already prepared sesame oil money, and Boyungang is different, Boyunboyun, how can I not stop!"

Yang Bencai's voice was a few degrees higher, and Yi Shuyuan grinned at the side, remembering Yang Bencai's phrase "The cost of rushing for the exam must be spent wisely".

The old man Meng joked on the sidelines.

"Mr. Yang, Xiaohe Village is only seven or eight miles away from Boyun Port, at most ten miles. If you are really pious, you can get there even if you walk. Our boat must at least spend the night there."

Yang Bencai frowned and did not speak, which meant that he seemed to be seriously considering this possibility.

Yi Shuyuan looked in the direction of the Kaiyang Grand Canal.

"Uncle Meng, how many days are left for our ship?"

"That's too early. It will take at least three days anyway. It's God's blessing. If it rains like just now, the boat won't be able to move fast."

Hearing this, Yang Ben regained his energy.

"Brother Yi, Uncle Meng, I couldn't see it from below, but I could hear it. Did it almost happen in a boat accident? Did it hit you? Did anyone have any accidents?"

"I didn't hit it. It was the boat behind. It was quite hanging. It was raining heavily. There might be a vortex under the water. Just now."

Old man Meng looked at Yi Shuyuan again as he spoke, and the latter had already looked towards the front of the Kaiyang Canal.

Mr. Yi is called "Kaiyang Water God"?Don't ordinary people call him the God of the River? That's a weird name.

"Oh, let's go on!"

Only after Yang Bencai reminded him did Old Man Meng regain his senses.

"Oh, just now, the rain was too heavy. Although the two ships behind were staggered, the big ship somehow fell apart."

When the old man Meng was talking, other passengers in the cabin had already come out to breathe, and surrounded them one after another, while Yi Shuyuan walked away a few steps and returned to the place near the bow.

Kaiyang Water Temple, Poyungang?

Yi Shuyuan looked at the river surface in a daze for a while, and then Yang Bencai came over.

"Brother Yi, brother Yi, it was really dangerous just now, did you see it? The boat almost crashed and everyone died! But the boat is fine and the sky will clear up soon, what an eye opener!"

Yi Shuyuan smiled at Yang Bencai.

"Yeah, I didn't have a good rest last night, and now I want to go back and catch up on sleep. Brother Yang, please do it yourself."

After finishing speaking, Yi Shuyuan arched his hands and walked towards the cabin. Yang Ben subconsciously saluted, and after regaining his senses, he couldn't help muttering: "You didn't sleep well and you woke up so early?"

Yi Shuyuan returned to his temporary corner of the warehouse, a blanket flew out of his sleeve and laid it on the floor, then lay down on his side.

Not long after lying down, Yi Shuyuan's breathing became even.

And the next moment, a vague human figure seemed to come out of the body, and when it reached the outside of the ship, it turned into an invisible breeze blowing out from the cabin, blowing along the river to the distance ahead of the ship.

Yi Shuyuan used a quilt to transform his body into something tangible and qualitative, and it is difficult for people with lower morals than him to see it.

At this moment, Yi Shuyuan was walking against the wind at a very fast speed.

Now that his cultivation base has been improved several times, and after several times of enlightenment, even if it is just ordinary Yufeng, what Yi Shuyuan uses is not the same as his former self.

The scenery in the middle of the river and along the coast quickly swept away behind him, and it only took half an hour for Yi Shuyuan to reach the place where a big ship with a downwind sailed for three days.

Although he is not familiar with the terrain of the whole land boundary, he only needs to go along the Kaiyang Grand Canal, and Lu Yuwei cannot leave the water area, so it is not convenient for Yi Shuyuan to fly directly, and a gust of wind is always close to the water surface not far away.

This caused people on many large and small boats along the way to suddenly feel a stronger wind blowing, making people shake slightly, but there was no follow-up.

After flying along the waterway for a long time, Yi Shuyuan has already seen a lush port by the river in the distance. It was still very far away at the first glance, but it was already close at the second glance.

There is a relatively grand temple near the port. At this moment, pilgrims inside and outside the temple are like weaving incense.

It is just that the spring is just around the corner, the temple is almost overcrowded, and the temple workers are suffering and happy
The wind eased, and he carried Yi Shuyuan to the water near the temple.

Before landing, Yi Shuyuan threw the folding fan in his hand into the water.

swoosh~
The folding fan turned into an invisible wind, rolled near the water bank, and turned into a dew-stained aquatic plant beside the duckweed. With the breeze blowing on the bank, there were waves of fine ripples.

Yi Shuyuan has stepped on the shore at this moment, and his figure has changed from invisible to blurred and then clear in an instant.

It's just that although the figure is very clear, Yi Shuyuan is surrounded by fresh air at this moment, and it will be a little brighter in the eyes of ordinary people, but after seeing it, he may soon forget what he looks like.

Hui Mian was relieved now, the husband flew too fast just now, even though there would be no strong wind blowing against his face in his arms, he still felt very nervous.

"Sir, is this the orthodox method you speak of?"

"That's right, there are monsters that harm people on the Kaiyang River, and there are ghosts that have become climates to attract people's yang energy. Monsters and ghosts come and go freely, and he, the Kaiyang Water God, cannot escape the blame!"

Hearing Yi Shuyuan's answer, Hui Mian froze for a moment.

"But that's his godson and his general."

Yi Shuyuan looked at Xiao Diao in his arms and smiled.

"Oh? But I don't know!"

"You obviously"

Hui Mian stopped talking halfway, it has already reacted, why does the sir want to know?Indeed, sir does not know!
While speaking, Yi Shuyuan had already walked forward. As he walked forward, there were more and more pilgrims in front of him. Others were not surprised that Yi Shuyuan appeared from another direction, as if it should be so.

"Alas, all benefactors, all believers, all good officials, there are too many people in the temple, please walk slowly in an orderly manner—"

The temple workers shouted over there.

"Master River God is very effective, all you need to do is to be devout, and those who buy incense can buy it at the side, and there are no more stalls inside—"

There are indeed many people, but not to the point of being unable to walk.

Yi Shuyuan followed a continuous stream of people into the temple area, and found that although the stalls for buying incense were large, there was only one, unlike many temples where there are many stalls competing with each other.

It seems that this incense stand is also the property of the temple.

"Masters of pilgrims, do you want to buy some incense?"

There were people shouting at the booth, some collecting money and making change, and some picking up goods and delivering incense, which seemed to be an orderly division of labor.

Although not everyone who comes here knows how to buy incense, most of them must buy incense, and Yi Shuyuan also walked over.

"Hey, young man, do you want to buy incense? Here are all the best sandalwood, there are twenty cash and three sticks, fifty pennies and three sticks, one hundred and three sticks of incense, and one tael of silver and three sticks of God's Blessing Incense !"

Oh, this fragrance is so expensive!
Dare to sell incense for a tael of silver?Is it made with gold powder?

"I want three pillars and twenty cents."

Yi Shuyuan responded like this.

Most people buy twenty Wen, but as long as it is dressed as a Confucian scholar, it usually starts at fifty Wen again.

After all, the spring is just around the corner, and most of the Confucian scholars who will come to worship the gods are entrusted to the gods and want to ask the gods to bless them and obtain fame in the exam.

Hearing Yi Shuyuan's words, the temple worker who greeted him couldn't help curling his lips.

Just now, I saw this handsome and handsome person coming, and I thought he was a big customer, but I didn't expect to buy only twenty coins.

Scholars in other families buy [-] Wen, hundreds of Wen, or even a tael of silver. Why should the gods bless you for [-] Wen?
Thinking so in his heart, he didn't say anything in his mouth, but the contemptuous face was as obvious as a painting.

Yi Shuyuan didn't take it seriously, he had already withdrawn the money and gave it to the nearby temple workers, so someone handed over three pillars of sandalwood.

"Your fragrance."

Yi Shuyuan didn't thank him after taking it, and went straight to the inside of the temple along the flow of people.

"Hui Mian, do you think this river god can bear my three incense sticks?"

"Hey Hey."

Hui Mian replied with a low laugh, it couldn't wait, although it already knew that the husband should not worship God easily, but it had never seen it before, after all, there are gods to experience first.

The River God Temple enshrines not only the River God, but also various generals under the River God, and even a side hall dedicated to several gods of the Ministry of Water.

This temple is not only offering incense, but also many scenery, and even literati writing poems and writing ink, creating an elegant scene.

Yi Shuyuan had no intention of visiting the temple, let alone participating in the entertainment of the literati over there. Instead, like ordinary pilgrims with a strong purpose, he walked through the front courtyards and walked to the largest main hall.

There are pilgrims in front of it, and there is a haze of smoke from the courtyard to the inside of the hall.

Yi Shuyuan looked up from the outside, and the Water God of Kaiyang Grand Canal looked like a calm man.

This river god wears a Jinxian crown on his head and a black cloud robe, which is very finely carved, showing a three-point divinity, as if his eyes are slightly closed and he is looking at the many respectful and pious pilgrims in the audience.

Yi Shuyuan stood in the courtyard and looked at the Kaiyang water god calmly. He didn't enter the temple to grab futons from pilgrims to worship, nor did he plan to go inside to offer incense.

With just a thought, the three sticks of incense in Yi Shuyuan's hands were filled with fire, and they were ignited together in the next moment.

Yi Shuyuan held three incense sticks and walked to the big incense cauldron in the courtyard.

In this incense cauldron, pilgrims usually insert a lot of incense to worship, but at this moment, Yi Shuyuan held the bottom of the incense with both hands, facing the direction of the god statue, and gently inserted three sticks of incense into the incense cauldron.

At this moment, a strong sandalwood fragrance that not everyone can smell came out from the incense cauldron
The pilgrims who were worshiping the god found that in the incense burner next to the god's table, the long incense seemed to be shaking, and the incense ash that had originally accumulated at the incense head covering half of the sparks had fallen off one after another
The temple workers who were greeting people noticed that the lights of some large candles and lamps beside them were flickering, and the lamp oil in the long-burning lamps was rippled.
The literati are swiping their brushes and ink to make happy words and write poems, but they find that the lid in the teacup is shaking, the ink in the inkstone is shaking, and the characters in the pen in their hands are also slightly skewed. It's the table and the paper shaking
This feeling is not obvious at first, and then it can be noticed, and gradually becomes more and more intense.
The entire Kaiyang Grand Canal Temple began to shake slightly, and some old dust that could not be cleaned continued to fall.

In particular, a statue of the god of the river shook the most, as if it was about to fall off the altar.

"Rumble rumble rumble."

In a short period of time, the movement has already boomed.

"What's going on?" "What's going on?"

"What happened?"

"Earth Dragon turned over?"

Some people were stunned, some people were surprised, but as the movement became louder and louder, someone finally shouted out in horror.

"Ah—" "The temple is about to collapse—"

"Run away—" "Ah"

"Run—"
