Chapter 323 - The Holy Temple
When he quietly left the village located in the deep mountains, Li Xiaobai's return was very fast.
There is no need to follow the map route honestly like when I came. Qingyao showed his true form of a demon, carrying Li Xiaobai and Xiaohongli, and grabbed the horse that was panicked and neighing, and quickly arrived at the border of the Minlan River again.
It took only one hour to complete the journey of the previous two days.
Because it is a stronghold far away from the Tian Cult, there is no need to worry too much, not to mention that the people in the Tian Cult in that village had no idea that there were already uninvited guests in secret and they were calling back and forth.
I found a fisherman by the river, threw out a ingot of silver, and bought the other party's two-meter-long black-topped boat. Li Xiaobai led the trembling horse into the cabin.
Li Xiaobai watched the little red carp jump, and disappeared into the river in a blink of an eye. Then a big red scale carp about stubbornly rushed out of the water, then fell heavily, smashing a splash of water.
Seeing this scene, the fisherman's old and young man knelt down on the shore. The barbarians' beliefs were mixed. The mountain spirit and water monsters could worship as the mountain gods and river gods. As soon as they saw Xiao Honglin's true body, they immediately took a seat, thinking that they were one of the water gods of Minlan River, and they were pious and devoted to the ground. The ignorant child wanted to take a look, but his father pressed the back of his head, and snatched the ground with his head, knocking out several shallow pits on the ground.
There is no need for a paddle. One end of the tough hemp rope as thick as two fingers is tied to the bow of the ship, and the other end is thrown into the water, and it is quickly stretched straight.
"Get up!"
Xiaobai shook out the folding fan with a graceful demeanor, looking like a young master of the turbid world. The black-topped boat under his feet suddenly accelerated, quickly leaving the simple pier, and quickly went upstream. It was vaguely visible that the hemp rope was digging into the water five or six in front, and occasionally a piece of red scales flipped over the green water surface.
Now, there is Qingyao in the sky, Xiaobai on the ground, red carp in the water, and the three armies of water, land and air are all in the air.
"Da'er! Hurry! Hurry, hurry!"
The witch Ying Jing'er shouted randomly, and was soon knocked back by Xiaobai's chestnut.
"Don't make a fuss, the horse is behind, can it jump into the river?"
Li Xiaobai poked the big monster's forehead and didn't fight for three days. He went to the room to remove the tiles. He was talking about this demon girl.
The rear half of the cabin was filled with horses that acted as mounts and kept sniffing, looking around innocently, with the green river water all over it making it feel a little scared.
Once the fish enters the water, they can exert ten times the power. A ten-pound fish can burst out one hundred pounds of power. With the cultivation level of the transformation realm, Hong Li can easily drag a black-topped boat to gallop on the water surface. Even if the boat behind him is ten times larger, there is no difference.
A strange scene appeared on the river surface about two miles wide. The boats came and went to see a black-topped boat moving upstream at an incredible speed. No one rolled the oars or the boatman. There were ropes. Strangely, the ropes reached under the water. Was the crazy boatman running wildly at the bottom of the water?
On the shore, the boat was stunned and amazed.
A man and a woman on the black-sailed boat stood leisurely at the bow of the boat, looking forward to the wind and water, riding the wind and waves all the way, and quickly leaving in a blink of an eye.
Just after noon, a big city appeared in front of Li Xiaobai and Qingyao. Xiaohongli dragged a black-topped boat to the dock on the shore. Man Yong on the dock looked at the boat docking on his own. He didn't see the boatman who was flying, and the boat leaned on the dock exactly as if it were alive.
"Cache, collect the money from the boat, a hundred cents a day!"
Before he finished speaking, a silver ingot flew over with a shiny silver light. Man Yong, who came to collect the fee, quickly caught it, and immediately smiled and helped to fix the ship on the dock.
Not to mention the one-day stop, this silver ingot is enough to stop for one month.
Although the storage ring and storage dragon scales are large, they do not carry much copper coins. If you can use silver, you will never use copper coins. Of course, you have to save some money.
The sound of water was clattering, and a little red carp in red leaped ashore. The petite body turned three times, and countless drops of water fell down. The clothes were still dry, and even their hair was not wet.
Mon Yong, who had taken a few steps away, suddenly widened his eyes and sat on the ground in fear. He never thought that there was a living person hidden in the water beside the dock.
The capital of Yueqing Kingdom is adjacent to the Minlan River, and the huge capital does not have towering walls. Perhaps for the barbarian wizards, there is no difference between whether there is a wall or not.
The Holy Temple occupies one-third of the entire capital, but as more and more barbarians live here, expanding the city and buildings in all directions, the proportion will become smaller and smaller, and the entire capital is built around the Holy Temple.
The huge temple is like a mountain, with various stone carvings on the surface everywhere, or it is simply made of a huge stone mountain hollowed out. Close to the top, surrounded by a faint cloud and mist, and upwards is the snow that never melts all year round.
The current capital has expanded its urban scope to the other side of the Minlan River. There are docks and warehouses on both sides, and countless ships of all sizes are commuting, making water transportation very prosperous.
Perhaps it was because the barbarians were unwilling to let the stinky smell polluted the holy land in their hearts. There was no vendor in the square in front of the temple, and there were even no shops around. People needed to pass through a forest land about a hundred steps deep to see this square covered with rough and pale rocks over several hectares. Each stone slab about stairs was covered with crystals of fingers, shining brightly in the sun, but no one took it out as a gem for money. Instead, they brought a piece of beeswax to carefully rub it on the ground, grinding out the rough stone slabs to reflect the luster of the figures and the sky, which showed that the barbarians were extremely respectful to the temple.
The stone slabs on the square may have been dug out from the beginning of the mountain. Many barbarians came from all directions and knelt on the ground devoutly, holding sweet beeswax in their hands. While worshiping the ground, they rubbed the ground under them according to their movements.
Every barbarian needs to come to worship the temple at least three times in his life, once in his full year, once in his adult life, and once before his old age and death. However, natural disasters are unpredictable, only a few of them can complete three pilgrims.
As soon as he stepped onto this square with two demon girls, one big and one small, Li Xiaobai immediately noticed the gaze from all directions. The barbarians who were worshiping the holy temple did not like outsiders to come to this sacred place.
"It seems that people here don't welcome us?"
The demon girl curled her lips indifferently. The barbarians didn't get the courage to glare at her. If she was in the Kunlun Demon Realm before, she could eat ten snacks like this in one bite.
"These people are so terrible!"
Little Red Li held Li Xiaobai's sleeve tightly, and many barbarians were exposed, covered with tattoos. Some represented bravery, some represented auspiciousness, some represented health, and some represented many children and grandchildren.
"Help! Help!"
At this moment, a man stumbled into the square and immediately attracted all the barbarians' gaze from one person or two demons.
Chapter completed!
