Chapter 1894: Rumors Flying Everywhere

When he rushed out of the temple gate, he also saw several commoners sneaking into the hall, stealing sacrificial vessels and fruits. The Miaozhan Heaven main temple was beautifully built, often decorated with treasures like agate and shell jade, and the gold and silver sacrificial vessels on the altar were set in dozens.

The invisible majesty that usually shrouded this place had disappeared, and the less pious commoners suddenly had the heart to steal.

When Xun Tongwei rushed out of the temple gate, he saw over a dozen pilgrims crying on the ground, as if their own parents were gone; but most people were at a loss, looking back three times for every step but slowly dispersing.

Wasn't the main god omnipotent? Since she died at the mouth of the Dragon God, it meant she wasn't powerful enough.

A god who wasn't powerful enough, how could she still gain everyone's faith?

Xun Tongwei hurriedly got into the carriage: "Send me to the Situ family, immediately!"

This shocking major event must be reported immediately!...

Four days later.

Another ocean-going ship docked at Julu Port. Fang Canran walked along the gangway onto the pier, and a mother and son in front were almost squeezed into the water by the surging crowd.

Fang Canran helped them up, then looked up, only to see heads moving.

He had come to Julu Port once five months ago, and at that time he had already marveled at the earth-shaking changes here; but today, when he got off the ship and looked again, he almost didn't recognize this place.

The port and piers had been expanded, and two long new gangways had been built on the pier, otherwise, there were too many ships entering and leaving to dock.

The fish and fresh pier had been moved to the east coast, and the west bank was only for passenger and cargo ships, so guests no longer smelled the pungent fishy smell.

As soon as the ship docked, the dock workers hurried over to unload the cargo, like industrious worker bees.

The buildings on the shore were more and more imposing, and even the trees were exceptionally spirited.

It seemed that everything was thriving.

However, he hadn't walked a hundred paces before his keen hearing captured the name "Dragon God" appearing no less than ten times.

The merchants coming and going seemed to be discussing this. And many people were standing at the pier, pointing at the sea.

Before he even left the pier, a carriage driver came up to grab a guest, asking Fang Canran with an enthusiastic/fake smile, where is the master going? A chartered car is only twelve copper coins, and you can go anywhere in the port.

The price had gone up; it was only ten copper coins before.

Fang Canran shook his head and turned to go to the Conch Tavern at the pier. The yellow croaker noodles he had eaten here last time made him unforgettable.

Let's have a bowl first, then go to the Yangshan Chamber of Commerce.

This tavern had also been expanded to the second floor, obviously living very comfortably in the fierce competition around it.

Fang Canran walked in, just sat down and ordered a bowl of noodles, when he heard someone ask: "That beacon island? Black dragon?"

"Don't listen to their nonsense, they're lying to us outsiders."

"Why would I lie to you, do I get money?" A local man said, "The black dragon hovered over our Julu Port last night, I saw it with my own eyes!" "Ask the people here, which one didn't hear the dragon roar? The whole Julu Port was awakened."

The outsider didn't believe it: "You saw the black dragon land on the island with your own eyes?"

"Uh..." Not really.

Just then, the waiter walked over and pointed out the window: "I saw it."

"That night, I was sleeping on the second floor of this shop, and was suddenly awakened by the dragon roar in the middle of the night. I got up and looked, hey, the divine dragon soared in the sky!"

Fang Canran joined the questioning: "How long?"

"About a quarter of an hour. There were no clouds in the sky last night, and the appearance of the divine dragon could be seen clearly." The waiter continued, "Then the divine dragon landed on the beacon island, that island!"

Looking out from the large window of the Conch Tavern, there was a small island made of a large piece of reef in the inner bay of the port, with an area of over 300 square meters, bare, with only a few trees growing on its forehead. Passing ships used it as a beacon for positioning, hence the name Beacon Island.

"In the moonlight, the divine dragon's scales were all shining with black light. You didn't see it with your own eyes, so you can't realize how majestic and heroic it was!"

"And then?"

"Then the divine dragon went into the water, played in the harbor for a while, and dived out of sight." The waiter was righteous, "It wasn't just me who saw it. There were plenty of people in this port, and the sea guests on the ships also saw the divine dragon swimming in the water! You can ask anyone outside, do you know, just ask, plenty of people saw it!"

Just then, a man in a long robe walked into the tavern, forty-something, tall and thin, holding a folding fan.

"Old Ding is here."

Fang Canran had seen him a few months ago and knew that this was a storyteller who made a living by telling stories and throwing segments.

He had many routines and scripts, but since a black dragon appeared in the port a few days ago, everyone naturally asked to hear the Dragon God story.

Fang Canran's yellow croaker noodles were served, a steaming large bowl.

When he picked up his chopsticks, Old Ding also pulled up his robe and sat in his special seat, drinking a cup of free tea to moisten his throat, and the first sentence was shocking:

"Let's just say, the Dragon God killing Miaozhan Heaven that night is a nailed-down fact..."

In the error-free version!

With two "da da" sounds, the chopsticks in Fang Canran's hand fell to the ground.

Everyone else turned to look at him, and Fang Canran said "sorry sorry" while picking up the chopsticks, shocked in his heart.

The first news he heard after going ashore, was it this shocking?

Did these people in the tavern know what the weight of the five words "Miaozhan Heaven was killed" actually was? Fortunately, someone had already asked for him: "Hey hey, why do you say it's a nailed-down fact?"

Old Ding talked about the strange phenomena that appeared in the Goddess Temple in Maiqiu, vividly and colorfully.

Fang Canran could tell at once that he was telling it according to a script, and the details and key points were very comprehensive.

But it didn't matter, the listeners liked it this way.

Old Ding continued: "Oh my, within a radius of three hundred miles, not only did the Miaozhan Heaven Temple have strange phenomena, but also the Fenghe Temple, the Jinna Temple... all had ominous signs. Overnight, these divine powers disappeared!"

"What is the Dragon God trying to do?"

"What to do? The Dragon God pities the world and eliminates the suffering of Flash Gold. Whoever bullies the people, whoever oppresses Flash Gold, the Dragon God will destroy them!" Old Ding shook his head and recited, "Kill gods when gods block, destroy demons when demons block!"

Someone in the corner asked timidly: "Do gods, do gods also bully us?"

"You think, only officials and robbers bully you?" Old Ding obviously recognized him, "I remember, your mother worshiped Jinna God very piously."

"Yes, the money she earned from needlework was all given to Jinna God for incense oil."

Old Ding asked again: "How did your brother die?"

"He went into the mountains and was, was eaten by wolves."

"And then?"

"My brother passed away, she went to the temple to cry and complain, and the temple said that the karma of my parents was too deep, affecting their children. If she didn't want me and my sister to have accidents, she had to be more pious to redeem her sins."

"Did she finish redeeming?"

This person was stunned: "I, I don't know."

"Then what about your family's money?"

"It's gone. My father got sick this year, and there was no money at home to treat him, so he was almost carried out."
