After graduating, I became the Dragon King

To enter Yangnan Ancient Town, you need to pass the road by the Yangnan River, which happens to be not far from the old locust tree. Jin Jiuheng cared about his godmother, so he asked the driver to detour for a while.

"It's almost there, drive slowly." Jin Jiuheng said to the driver, and then turned around to introduce Xue Chen and Jane Lance, "If I remember correctly, my godmother is ahead, and you can see it a little further."

He didn't know it before, but now that he knew that the tree had blessed him, his tone became a little more filial, "What a great tree!"

The driver who didn't know the inside story: "..."

At this time, the twilight has completely faded, and the night is shrouded. Yangnan River is dark. Fortunately, there are street lights on the highway.

The trunk is about as thick as two people hugging each other, with luxuriant branches and leaves, and the crown of the tree extends out to the stream.

Xue Chen only glanced at it, and casually reminded: "Your godmother seems to be gone."

Jin Jiuheng:? ?

He hurriedly looked over again, and was surprised when he saw that his godmother was surrounded by ice cream cones and simple guardrails. Next to the guardrails were two chainsaws for logging, and a crane was parked beside them. .

Several workers wearing hard hats were sitting on the ground, smoking, looking like they were ready to start work at any time.

"They won't kill my godmother overnight! How can this work!" Jin Jiuheng's expression changed, and he quickly called the person in charge of the town again.

After asking, I found out that Master Zhuguang of the Dragon King Temple received the order of the Dragon King in the morning, asking them to prepare three animals, six animals and one dry sacrifice. The Dragon King will come to Yangnan again tonight and will bring heavy rain to Yangnan.

At the same time, the Dragon King requested that the repair of the bridge should be carried out as soon as possible. When he appeared tonight, he should also supervise the work by the way.

So the town hurriedly hired an engineering team to prepare next to the old locust tree, and Master Guang was in charge of preparing the sacrificial ceremony. Now several responsible persons gathered at the Dragon King Temple, waiting for the Dragon King to appear before starting to cut down the tree.

Xue Chen let out a "tsk" after listening: "This liar is really idle...Kangyangjiang Dragon King Feng Ping was killed."

Jin Jiuheng was still in the mood to joke, so he immediately asked the driver to turn around and go straight to the Dragon King Temple.

The Dragon King Temple is on the edge of the old district of Yangnan Town, not far from Yangnan River. They arrived at the place quickly. When they got out of the car, they saw that many electric lights had been installed inside and outside the whole temple. Although it was night, the lights were bright. brightly lit.

The area of ​​the temple is not large, only the courtyard at the entrance, which can be seen for some years, the tiles are gray and decayed, and there are many traces of spider silk and moss, but the outer wall is newly painted white.

It is estimated that the incense has been prosperous again recently, and it is too late to rectify and renovate, so I just painted the walls in a hurry, so as not to look too dilapidated.

But Xue Chen only took one look, then showed a look of disgust, and sneered: "It smells so strong."

Jin Jiuheng was puzzled and asked, "What's the smell?"

Xue Chen glanced at the wall and said, "Bad paint."

Jin Jiuheng: "..."

Jane Lance let out a "hmm" and said, "Even poor-quality paint can't cover it."

... This gloomy and evil aura.

The gate was open, but the guard was pulled, and there was still a person guarding it to prevent people from entering or leaving at will. Jin Jiuheng had no choice but to make another phone call. After a while, a middle-aged man came out of the temple.

This person is an old friend of Jin Jiuheng, named Yi She, who is well-known in Yangnan Town, and he will be consulted on every matter in the town. He is also one of the decision makers for this bridge repair. Jin Jiuheng communicated with him in the morning phone.

"Old Jin, why are you here? Could it be because of the tree?" Yi She looked a little surprised, but Jin Jiuheng hadn't been back to town for many years.

In person, Yi She's tone softened a lot, and persuaded, "It's really not that I don't want to help you this time, nor is it that the town refuses to give you this face, it's really that we can't make the decision, I told you on the phone It's all true, this is the will of the Dragon King's manifestation... why don't you go back to rest first, and Master Guang will invite the Dragon King later, and I will explain it to you in detail later."

"This..." Jin Jiuheng saw that he had no room for discussion, his face turned green with anxiety, and he didn't know how to speak for a moment.

At this time, Xue Chen suddenly stepped forward and smiled at Yi She: "You misunderstood, Mr. Jin didn't come here because of the tree."

Only then did Yi She notice the two young men next to him, and when Xue Chen opened his mouth, he gave him a suspicious look: "What is that for?"

Xue Chen looked solemn, and said sincerely: "To be honest, Mr. Jin heard about the Kangyangjiang Dragon King's manifestation in the town this morning. He was greatly shocked and felt the pride of being a Yangnan person even more deeply. , I very much hope to see the divine power of the Dragon King... It just so happens that I heard that the Dragon King will appear tonight, so he can't wait to come here."

Jin Jiuheng: "..." As expected of a student, he is really good at writing!

Yi She heard that his face softened a little, but he still said: "Not everyone can see the Dragon King Shenwei, you should go back first..."

Before he finished speaking, Xue Chen continued: "President Jin also said that if he is lucky enough to see Long Wei with his own eyes, he must build a golden body for the Dragon King."

Jin Jiuheng:? ? ?

He couldn't help but glance at Xue Chen slowly. Ever since he got to know Xue Chen, he felt that his money was being lost very quickly.

The golden body is of great significance to the gods. It is not only a promotion of force, but also a symbol of worship and belief.

Most importantly, very expensive!

Ordinary temples can't afford it.

Sure enough, when Yi She heard the golden body, his eyes changed, and he quickly asked Jin Jiuheng: "Is what he said true?"

Although Jin Jiuheng didn't know what Xue Chen was going to do, but he couldn't lose the chain at the critical moment, so he endured the pain in his heart and began to excerpt Xue Chen's good words and sentences: "Yes, I was very touched after hearing about the deeds of the Dragon King. I deeply feel the responsibility of being a Yangnan person..."

"I understand, I understand. I didn't really believe in this before, until I saw the Dragon King appear with my own eyes, and my mentality suddenly sublimated." Yi She did not doubt that he was there.

Not to mention Jin Jiuheng's proposal to build a golden body for the Dragon King, just because of the money he donated to the town, as long as he doesn't stop the bridge from being built, the town will definitely give him face.

Yi She immediately told other people in the temple about the situation, and then politely invited Jin Jiuheng to enter the temple, but it was Jin Jiuheng who insisted on bringing two young people in to experience Longwei.

With Jin Jiuheng's investment, it is not too much to bring two more people, but it is these two people who make Yi She a little confused.

Let’s forget about the one who spoke first, and the other one has a western face, so it’s too out of harmony to come to the Dragon King Temple.

This is not a church.

Yi She looked at Jane Lance with doubts in his eyes: "Is this also worshiping the Dragon King?"

The implication is very clear, those who don't believe this will not be admitted.

Jane Lance calmly took out a few yellow talismans from his pocket, and said softly, "I've always hoped to see (Fubo) the might of the Dragon Lord."

Xue Chen: "..."

stationery!This is stationery!He felt guilty again because he couldn't reply to the beauty's letter!

He coughed lightly, and Su Rong added, "Yes, he burns amulets for Dragon Lord every day. If I were Dragon Lord, I would not be so moved."

Yi She: "..."

How pious this is, and he also carries a yellow talisman with him.

In this way, he no longer doubted, and led the three of them into the gate together.

After entering the temple, the sense of dilapidation became more and more obvious.

The yard should have just been repaired, and the weeds have all been pulled out, but the broken water tank and rotten bricks in the corner still give off a bleak look.

The main body of the main hall is a wooden structure. The painted paintings on the lintel have long faded, revealing a decayed foundation. A plaque with gold letters on a black background hangs in the middle. It has not been maintained for a long time, and the handwriting has long been mottled and peeled off. "Smooth weather" four characters.

There were not many people in the hall, except for Guang Shigong who was in charge of the ceremony, there were only a few people, including a respectable old man and a pious old lady, and the others were wealthy local businessmen.

Xue Chen knew it clearly. Although this liar Dragon King appeared frequently, he probably wasn't seen by everyone. He had to be someone in power with a status or a noble person who could make a confession.

This is the same as the MLM organization in the world, as long as you control a few top-level general agents, and then let the general agents develop offline.

A foolish rich man like Jin Jiuheng who has the strength to donate a golden body is undoubtedly a strong candidate for the general agent, so he can be specially invited to visit the headquarters.

Seeing Jin Jiuheng enter the door, the rest of the people immediately gathered around to greet him enthusiastically. Even if it wasn't for the golden body, Jin Jiuheng's net worth and the pride of spending a lot of money in his hometown these years are worth making friends with.

Master Guang was even more grateful, and he stepped forward to lead the way for Jin Jiuheng himself, and said, "Mr. Jin, you have a heart, I believe that the Dragon King will definitely feel your sincerity after knowing your kind deeds. I will protect you and keep you prosperous forever."

There was a bit of pride in his tone that couldn't be concealed.

Guang Shiguo is in his early fifties, and has been doing temple celebrations in the Dragon King Temple, but he has never formally practiced, but Yangnan is a small place, and he is the only one in the temple.

In order to make ends meet in his early years, he held multiple positions in the temple. In addition to managing incense, he also helped people read signatures and perform rituals. Over time, he also taught himself some rituals and techniques, and he was also good at making incense and drawing symbols.

But it's not professional after all, and even he himself doesn't know whether what he does has any effect.

With the decline of the Dragon King Temple in recent years, Guang Shigong's life is not easy.

Years ago, the town planned to promote the Dragon King Temple to build a square, and he was already planning to find another way out, but unexpectedly, a dream changed his fate again.

Master Guang has been in charge of the Dragon King Temple for half his life, and this is the first time he has seen the Dragon King manifest. The might of the dragon certainly made him feel excited, but along with it, there is a revival of incense and a rising status in the town.

These are things Master Guang didn't even dare to think about before.

At this time, Jin Jiuheng made a special trip back to his hometown to sculpt a golden body for the Dragon King. Once the golden body is sculpted, the Dragon King Temple in Yangnan will definitely become more famous.

How many gods in the surrounding temples haven't had a golden body yet!

Thinking of this, Guang Shigong was very polite to the two young people brought by Jin Jiuheng, arranged for them to stand at the place closest to the altar table, and carefully explained: "President Jin, let me remind you first, wait for the Dragon King When the spirit manifests, you must not be too excited, and be careful not to bump into the god."

"I know." Jin Jiuheng responded cooperatively, but the doubts in his heart deepened.

I don't know how the Dragon King's apparition made these people so serious.

At this time, the time was almost up, and the rest of the people stood aside deftly, without saying a word, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn.

Xue Chen stood beside Jin Jiuheng, approaching the altar, glanced roughly, but saw that the altar was huge, with three tables of Eight Immortals side by side, and the table was very full, incense candles, ingots, flowers, melons and fruits. Having said that, three animals and six animals are the same.

Especially in the position directly in front, there are three complete cow heads, sheep heads and pig heads side by side, which can be seen as a heavy investment.

Except for large-scale pujas these days, there are few places where sacrifices are so extravagant and wasteful.

How hungry is this liar?

Xue Chen twitched the corners of his mouth unobtrusively, and his eyes followed the offerings. There was no light behind them, and it was a little dim. Under the dilapidated banners, there were three wooden statues of gods.

The one in the middle is wearing a python robe, with a dragon's head protruding from behind, and phoenix eyes lowered, as if overlooking all living beings. It is the statue of the Dragon King of Kangyang River.

Standing on the left and right of the Dragon King are two servants, holding a sword on the left and holding a seal on the right. They are the two civil and military officials.

Master Guang started to do it, and he did it in a very rough way. He chanted scriptures and prayed, then took a mouthful of oil, sprayed it on the candle, and the hall suddenly burst into flames.

Xue Chen: "..."

If he remembered correctly, with the improvement of the knowledge level of the masses, this kind of juggling ceremony is not very popular among the people, right?

Before he could finish thinking, there was a sudden gust of wind in the hall, the flags fluttered and bulged, the clothes of the people were blown up and down, and the candle flames even rose up.

Everything seemed very abnormal.

Master Guang and the rest of the group showed joy on their faces, and said in a low voice: "Dragon King, it's the Dragon King who is here!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a dull and loud whistling sound out of thin air in the hall, which shocked everyone's hearts.

"Long Xiaosheng! It's Long Xiaosheng!" Several people shouted.

Master Guang hurriedly went to see Jin Jiuheng, his expression excited: "President Jin, did you hear that, this is the roar of the dragon when the Dragon King appeared!"

Jin Jiuheng naturally heard it. He looked at Xue Chen almost reflexively, and finally his firm belief was shaken again: "Student Xue, did you hear it? There is really Long Xiao!"

Xue Chen: "..."

Your uncle's howl!Whose dragon dared to howl like that, it would have been sent to correct its pronunciation overnight!

Jane Lance glanced at Xue Chen's face, silently stretched out her hand, and gently pressed his shoulder.

The beauty's reassurance made Xue Chen calm down a bit, but he endured it, but he still couldn't hold it back, put his hands on his chest, and said with a sneer, "Is the Dragon King here? Come out and spray water."

Everyone in the hall:? ? ?
