Chapter 990

The Bai family would certainly not expose the Martial Saint ritual to the public eye.

However, there are many General Temples within the territory of Hantai Prefecture, comparable to the Dragon King Temples in Jianghuai—the incense of ten thousand people brings its own wish power.

It has the benefit of nourishing and strengthening the ritual. Outside the Hantai Prefecture city, the one under Bingjing Mountain is the largest. Even in the middle of the night, one can see it brightly lit, with crowds stretching along the steps. There are even big masters with neatly groomed beards, looking like two strokes of ink from a distance, riding in human-powered sedans up the mountain, with the common people on both sides giving way.

"The colors are bright."

Liang Qu stood on the roof and looked into the distance.

Although the General Temple was somewhat dim under the night curtain, one could still see the colors within.

It is completely different from the style of temples in the Central Plains and Jiangnan. The General Temple is "heavily made up," and the background color of the plaque is also a very bright and eye-catching blue. The entire gate tower can be called colorful.

Not to mention the sacrificial temples.

The architectural styles of the residents in Pingyang and Hantai are also very different.

Pingyang has many sloping roofs to prevent water accumulation and mold, with horse-head walls on both sides, and the walls are mostly brick and stone; Hantai has many flat roofs, covered with a layer of thatch to store grain, which is so-called heat insulation in summer, grain storage in winter, and foundation stones in wartime.

The walls are also not brick and stone, but made of three-in-one soil mixed with camel hair. There are also pottery jars on the roof ridge. Out of curiosity, he poked into one, and inside the jar were withered hair and five grains. As a water-town person, Liang Qu didn't know what kind of custom this was.

This is the feeling of being in a foreign land.

Can't understand.

Can't read.

Looking out, nothing is familiar from his memory.

The first day of missing Pingyang.

Long Eying stood to the side: "Out in the middle of the night, why did you stop here again?"

Liang Qu pointed to the common people offering incense on the stairs: "I originally thought there wouldn't be many people coming in the middle of the night, but I didn't expect it to be so lively during the New Year festival, so I waited by the way."

"Waiting for what?"

"Waiting for the water I drank to sink down."

Boom!

Sparks flew inside the temple, and orange sparks drifted into the night sky, causing an uproar.

"Let's go, it's about time."

The flying eaves of the General Temple protruded with glazed mocking wind beast heads, and the copper bells hanging from the corners of the eaves were engraved with Lotus Sect mantras.

Flipped inside.

The smell of rust and ghee rushed to his face.

Square beams crisscrossed.

In the dim place where the candlelight couldn't reach, relying on the 【Vortex God Armor】 water curtain to distort the light and shadow, Liang Qu held Long Eying's hand and walked freely on it, overlooking the entire General Treasure Hall in front of the temple keeper and the incense-offering masters.

The left wall of the treasure hall depicts the "Ice Plain Slaughter Map," and the right wall depicts the "Horse-Head Wisdom King Suppressing Demons." The mural pigments are mixed with Blue Lake salt jade powder. From a side angle, it will reflect jade-colored scriptures, but otherwise, it will not.

The three-zhang-nine-foot statue is located to the lower left of the two.

Its volume is towering, tall and burly, with the left body draped in a hundred-patch fish-scale armor and the right body covered in a thousand-knot blood mane robe.

Three faces: one bronze face, one jade face, and one winter-limited, frost-covered ice face, beautifully named the "Dark Face." Combined with the geographical characteristics of Hantai Prefecture, it has a unique local cultural miscellaneous feeling.

The hall was noisy, and the common people were arguing about the previous big spender's handwriting.

"Ten thousand taels for a pillar of head incense, Master Ma Zha is really generous. The so-called tight money is all hearsay."

"Ten thousand taels is considered cheap. The one at midnight on New Year's Eve is fifty thousand taels! The first incense of the year, the General will bless you. Twenty thousand on the second day, ten thousand on the third day, and three thousand on ordinary days—"

"Don't linger, don't linger, move forward, move forward."

The dense crowd continued to move.

Tens of thousands of taels for an incense offering?

Damn it!

Liang Qu was resentful. With all his current assets and months of salary, he wasn't even qualified to offer a pillar of head incense here!

Long Eying scanned a few times: "Are you coming now? There are so many people—"

"Wait a little longer, it's impossible for there to always be so many people."

Facts proved that there were indeed many people during the winter slack.

It was about two o'clock in the morning, and the crowd was still dense. It wasn't until four o'clock in the morning that someone started to clean the main hall. Liang Qu, who was lying horizontally on the beams and yawning, was refreshed.

The opportunity has come!

"Finally!"

Liang Qu stood up immediately and unzipped his pants. Long Eying looked away, but couldn't help but glance twice, and then looked away again.

Absurd!

But if you actually think about it, it's not entirely unreasonable.

According to the professional Huai Kong, the triggering of Drowning Karma is highly likely related to the distribution of Lotus Sect believers. Giving everyone a foundation, the reason is unknown, and the General is also a part of the Snow Mountain system. Touching believers, touching statues—

Drowning also has the meaning of urination!

This is the guidance of the Fighting Victorious Buddha!

"Even the Tathagata Buddha can be peed on, and you're still laughing? A general is nothing. I, Earl Xingyi, have no taboos!"

Liang Qu stepped across and moved his pace to the side.

There are generally three types of building beam structures: well-dry style, bucket-piercing style, and beam-lifting style.

Large buildings often use the "beam-lifting style," that is, lifting beams on columns, installing columns on beams, and lifting beams on columns again. This structure can increase the width and depth of the building, so it is the main structure of large buildings, and the General Temple is no exception.

The topmost crossbeam is close to the eaves, and the two beams of the next level are only five feet away from the height of the roof. There is no sufficient space to accommodate the body, and bending over is not beautiful.

Therefore, Liang Qu couldn't stand directly above and on the shoulders of the statue, so he could only go to the third level, a little further away, stand straight, and perform long-range artillery fire.

Aim slightly.

The floodgate that had been held back all night was opened, and the rolling flood poured out!

Swish, swish, swish.

Like a pour, like a pillar.

Worried that the direct artillery fire would be too loud and attract attention, Liang Qu deliberately drew a parabola first, poured it onto the beams, and then slowly dripped it onto the statue through the beams.

"Amitabha, Tathagata bless, Fighting Victorious Buddha bless—"

Long Eying didn't stop rolling her eyes all night.

In the whole world, only Liang Qu could think of such a damaging method to fight poison with poison.

The beams were wide and filled with water, naturally spreading and flowing to both sides.

Drip, drip.

"What's that sound?"

The old temple keeper looked up in confusion, not seeing anyone climbing the mountain to offer incense.

Swish, swish.

The intermittent sound became clearer, continuous.

Sound of water?

Where is it leaking? Is it raining outside?

The temple keeper's confusion grew like weeds, and he looked up at the window.

The sky was clear, the stars and moon were shining, and there was not a single dark cloud to block them.

Strange things, strange sounds.

"Temple, temple keeper! The, the statue!"

The young man raised his hand in surprise.

The temple keeper turned his head, his pupils dilated, and he saw water dripping from the beams, falling right onto the ice head behind the statue!

It was cold in the second month, and Hantai Prefecture was bone-chillingly cold. The water column and the ice surface quickly froze together, like stalagmites growing over the years in a cave, rising high and turning into two chair horns, destroying the original face of the statue!

The old and the young couldn't judge where the water came from or what kind of water it was for a while.

Swish.

The Ze Ding trembled.

【Drowning Karma triggered】

【Drowning Karma accumulation: Four】

Useful! Easy to use!

Wind is tight, pull away!

Taking advantage of the fact that the temple keeper hadn't reacted, he shook himself, fell clean, Long Lingxiao tightened his belt, Liang Qu picked up Long Eying, and with the help of the dimness, without destroying the light and shadow effect, he quickly moved out of the temple.

One fall, one climb, the young man jumped onto the beams and found the roof beam covered with a thick layer of frost along the direction.

The temple keeper asked anxiously: "Look, what kind of water is it?"

The young man looked left and right, surprised and uncertain.

Took a shallow taste.

"Well... seems to be..."

"What is it?"

"Urine?"

"!"

The temple keeper's head felt like it was going to explode. Looking at the "ice bamboo shoots" growing on the statue's head, his heart skipped a beat.

The next day.

Calm and peaceful.

Liang Qu let Unlike Cha Qing go out to inquire, but didn't hear any changes in the General Temple.

The matter was covered up.

"Only three points, not enough—" Liang Qu didn't feel that the four-point Drowning Karma life was any different, so he decided to go all the way, "Unlike Cha Qing, give me the locations of all the remaining General Temples, and those on the Great Snow Mountain across the Blue Lake, and prepare two more water bottles for me!"
