From the Late Qing Dynasty to the 21st Century

Chapter 141 The Old Man and the God Statue

Just when Shen Luoxing was guessing the real source of Qinglian that he absorbed back then, the old man who had been standing beside him suddenly patted him on the shoulder.

"Young man, I see that you just arrived in our village so late. There are basically no people in this area for hundreds of miles. You probably haven't eaten anything. You must be hungry now. Come, come with me."

After the old man finished speaking, he walked straight to a crock in the room.

The only light source in the room was brought by a candle that the old man had lit in the hall outside not long ago, and the light could no longer illuminate anything clearly when it reached this corner.

However, the old man seemed to be used to this kind of darkness for a long time. He stretched out his right hand and groped around the corner of the room for a while. After a while, his right hand touched the edge of the crock.

Put the crock pot on the left hand, move it up slowly, hold the body of the crock pot with the right hand, and then touch the raised handle on the top of the pot lid with the left hand, lift it lightly, and only hear a bang. The smell is slowly emanating from the crock.

Of course, this smell is actually very weak, and only Shen Luoxing's strong body can detect this smell coming from the crock in a room full of various smells.

There seemed to be a spoon on the side of the earthen pot. The old man stretched out his right hand, groped a little, and grasped the handle of the spoon in his hand.

Stretching out the spoon into the earthen jar, scooping it lightly, a sound of liquid being stirred came into Shen Luoxing's ears clearly.

"Come on, here are some food you saved before, young man, just make do with it first."

The old man stretched out his right hand, bent his wrist so that the handle of the spoon was facing forward, and handed the spoon to Shen Luoxing.

The power of the soul and the induction in the dark told Shen Luoxing that the contents of the spoon were not harmful to him, so Shen Luoxing took the spoon in front of him.

"Actually, I have prepared some dry food and food, so you don't have to worry about me."

As if to prove that what he said was the truth, Shen Luoxing stretched out his right hand and poked into the wide cuff of his clothes.

Then a package wrapped in burlap appeared in Shen Luoxing's hands.

These were all Shen Luoxing put in the space crack when he was free to test the extraordinary atomic power of space in the past.

Opening the cloth bag, there were more than a dozen large pancakes stacked vertically, at least 20 centimeters high.

The ingredients of the flatbread are also quite substantial, and every part of the flatbread is filled with wheat flour.

"What is this? Could it be the food of nobles from other countries?"

Greedily, he took a deep breath with his nose, and the fragrance from the big pancake made the old man swallow and ask suspiciously.

"That's right, these are things I brought over from another region, you might as well try them, by the way, it might taste even better with this."

While talking, Shen Luoxing took out some sauce from the other side of his cuff.

Then, Shen Luoxing spread the sauce on the flatbread, and started to eat the spoonful of food that the old man handed over.

The old man who also got a piece of big cake in his hand was stunned at this moment. After thinking again and again, the old man still didn't choose to eat the big cake first, but took out a large piece of paper from the cabinet on the other side, and put it in his hand. The flatbread was rewrapped and placed in a side cabinet.

"I'm not hungry now, it's fine, I can leave it for two more days before eating, why don't I eat it when it's time?"

While placing the big cake, the old man muttered silently.

Seeing the old man's actions, Shen Luoxing immediately understood that the co-author was reluctant to eat this big cake right now.

So Shen Luoxing stuffed all the pancakes with the sauce in his hand into his mouth in threes and threes, and then ate all the food in the soup spoon that didn't know what to taste in one go.

Putting the spoon away, Shen Luoxing poked his left sleeve again, and then took out a bag of cloth that was very similar to the big pancake in his right hand.

"I still have it here, don't be reluctant to eat it, I prepared a lot back then, now, take another big cake."

He opened the cloth bag and showed it to the old man, and after confirming that the new cloth bag still contained the same things, Shen Luoxing handed a new big cake to the old man.

Seeing this scene, the old man didn't hesitate so much this time. He looked at the pancake in his hand, put his nose up again, and took a deep breath.

The old man's face immediately overflowed with an intoxicated expression, and then imitated Shen Luoxing's appearance, dipped some sauce on the flatbread, and began to eat it with big mouthfuls.

Seeing the other party's gobbling, Shen Luoxing's heart was suddenly touched.

Then, the inside of Shen Luoxing's sea of ​​spiritual consciousness, which was originally just a phantom of swaying green lotus, began to be slowly stained with gold at this moment, and on the other hand, the sound and frequency of the hymn that had been echoing constantly began to increase gradually.

"What is this weird sound, and why is it getting louder and more urgent?"

But even though he said that, Shen Luoxing had a feeling in his heart that having these voices was a very beneficial thing for him.

While thinking about it, the old man had already wolfed down all the pancakes, and at this moment he was licking the corner of his mouth with his tongue contentedly, wanting to swallow some remaining crumbs into his stomach.

Then, the old man seemed to have suddenly remembered something, got up and left the room, and turned to a smaller room on the other side.

In fact, Shen Luoxing noticed this room as soon as he came in, because this room was the only place that could slightly block Shen Luoxing's soul power from probing.

But because of the changes outside at that time, Shen Luoxing didn't check the room carefully.

Opening the door of the room, this ray of light rushed out from the opening of the door, and there was a light in the room!

Because the old man didn't let Shen Luoxing go with him, Shen Luoxing just stood far away in the original room and observed the things in that room with the power of his soul.

This is a room similar to that used for sacrifices. In the middle of the room is an altar and a sacred seat. On the sacred seat is a statue of a god that Shen Luoxing has never seen before.

The altar was very simple, just two candlesticks and an incense burner. The light I saw just now was emitted by two lit candles.

The purpose of the old man entering this room was to burn incense on the statue. The old man took out three sticks of incense made of unknown materials from the bottom of the altar, placed them on the flame of the candle and lit them. Then, the old man looked Holding the three sticks of incense piously, he worshiped the god three times, and then inserted the three sticks of incense into the incense burner.

After finishing these things, the old man quietly exited the room and closed the door again.

And under the observation of Shen Luoxing's soul power, after the old man left, the smoke floating on the three incense sticks disappeared when they passed near the statue!
