It turns out that I too have been robbed.

Although I grew up in Zhoulanguan, the place I often go to is the military camp.But General Pei was strict in discipline, and Pei Ruzhou didn't learn bad words or habits from some of the soldiers.

However, even so, at the moment when he saw the statue, Pei Ruzhou couldn't help but silently cursed a curse word in his heart.

These ones... aren't they the people I saw at the banquet in the Nine Heavens?

Before coming here, apart from making excuses to hide for a while, Pei Ruzhou also wanted to ask for auspiciousness.

But seeing this, Pei Ruzhou's heart was completely lost.

Although Pei Ruzhou still doesn't know exactly which gods and immortals came from, he can at least guarantee that this group of people who are eating, drinking and having fun at the banquet in the Nine Heavens will definitely not care about trivial matters in the world.

The most important thing is that some of these people have survived the calamity here!

How do you say that proverb?

When the mud bodhisattva crosses the river, he cannot protect himself.

At this moment, Pei Ruzhou understood clearly.

This is not self-defense, or what?

Speaking of which, in addition to the gods of Jiuchongtian, this temple also enshrines some other gods and Buddhas.

Today Pei Ruzhou is in good condition, so after entering, the monks here and some people whose names Pei Ruzhou can't remember, took them around for a tour.

Completely different from Pei Ruzhou's state of being absent-minded, and even vaguely feeling a little funny, Pei Ruzhou saw... his mother, and even his usually noisy younger brother Pei Yufeng, have now calmed down.

All are patiently listening to the history of this temple.

Only Pei Ruzhou thought it was ridiculous.

Especially after walking back and forth here, Pei Ruzhou saw in the deepest hall - two gods were enshrined in this hall.

One of them was the Heavenly Emperor whom he had met once at the Nine Heavens Banquet.

And the other one is... Eternal Night God Venerable.

The Yongxiao God Venerable here is wearing a mask, portrayed incomparably majestic.

However, as soon as Pei Ruzhou saw him, he remembered how he was meditating beside the Styx River, and the black mist that night...

Wait, wait, wait... Stop, don't think about it!

Pei Ruzhou only glanced at the portrait of God Venerable Yongxiao, and then quickly looked away.

Although Pei Ruzhou's expression adjusted very quickly, others still noticed the strangeness in him just now.

The people in the temple were a little embarrassed to ask, but Princess Shuming was different.

She was different from Pei Ruzhou. When she lived in Fengcheng, Princess Shuming would follow the queen mother to pray for gods and worship Buddha every now and then.

Seeing Pei Ruzhou's expression, Princess Shuming frowned slightly, and then asked Pei Ruzhou: "What's the matter, Zhou'er? This is the God Lord Yongxiao, didn't you ask me about the God Lord before?" ?"

When Pei Ruzhou first started going to Jiuchongtian and Netherworld, he also learned many myths and legends from his mother.

"Uh..." Pei Ruzhou felt a little embarrassed when he heard Princess Shuming's words.He couldn't tell his mother what he was thinking just now.

Therefore, after a short pause, Pei Ruzhou said, "It's nothing, I'm just thinking wildly..."

Pei Ruzhou has been ill recently, and Princess Shuming's attitude towards him is like going back to when he was a child.But now, Pei Ruzhou's performance in the temple still makes Princess Shuming feel a little dissatisfied.

So Princess Shuming asked again: "Well, what are you thinking?"

Do you have to ask this!

Pei Ruzhou paused for a moment, then he pursed his lips lightly and said, "I'm thinking... now we ask their gods to bless us when we encounter something. And if they encounter something, who should we ask for blessing? ?”

Because it was in a temple, Pei Ruzhou didn't wear fox fur to keep warm like he did in Zhoulan Pass.At this time, he was wearing a light blue brocade cloak, which was embroidered with dark patterns of epiphyllum, which made Pei Ruzhou more luxurious.

It even overwhelmed the elegance of the Eternal Night God Venerable on the wall.

Dozens of people around were paying attention to Pei Ruzhou all the time, and when they heard this sentence from Pei Ruzhou's mouth, everyone was shocked.Before that, none of them really thought about this problem.

Everyone in the world knows to ask gods to worship Buddha, but they have never thought about gods and Buddhas, and they will also encounter problems.

Princess Shuming didn't expect that Pei Ruzhou was thinking about this matter.

"This..." Princess Shuming paused for a moment, she didn't tell Pei Ruzhou that it was impossible for a god like Yongxiao God to encounter problems.She just thought for a while and replied: "Actually, the world is the same as the gods. If you really encounter problems, no one can help you. Praying to gods and Buddhas is worse than asking yourself..."

Pei Ruzhou didn't expect that Princess Shuming's answer would be like this.

Is it better to pray to gods and worship Buddha than to pray to oneself?

But the answer seems to be true.

When he was on the battlefield back then, although Pei Ruzhou never prayed to God, let alone God Eternal Night.But in fact, he also silently begged his father in his heart, as well as the countless soldiers who died in Zhoulan pass, but in the end, Pei Ruzhou broke through every pass by himself.

Princess Shuming smiled, and she patted Pei Ruzhou on the shoulder and said, "We worshiping them today is equivalent to worshiping ourselves."

Just now they passed many statues along the way, and every time they passed one, Princess Shuming and the people around would light three sticks of incense.Only Pei Ruzhou has not been involved in this matter.

But this time, by accident, after hearing what Princess Shuming said, Pei Ruzhou walked forward slowly.He took three sticks of incense from the hand of the maid on one side, and then lit them in the oil lamp on the other side.

Pei Ruzhou had never tried to pay homage to anyone in such a grand manner before.

So this time, his movements were a little slow, but at the same time he looked extremely respectful.

Pei Ruzhou held up the three sticks of incense and bowed three times while recalling the actions of Princess Shuming and those people.

After a while, he gently inserted it into the incense burner.

Pei Ruzhou's movements were very elegant, and the light blue cloak slid down from his wrists with his movements.

At this moment, the young man didn't have any murderous aura from the battlefield. He was like a noble son who lived in Fengcheng and didn't know how to kill.

Seeing his appearance, everyone suddenly felt a kind of intolerance.

——Actually, Pei Ruzhou should be like this.

Most of the people who follow him have known him since he was a child.Those people had seen Pei Ruzhou's carefree appearance as a child, and also seen his high-spirited youth.

In the eyes of these people, although Pei Ruzhou has made great achievements and has become a hero in people's hearts, he is not as happy as before.

There even seemed to be an invisible shackle that trapped him in it.

Fate somehow drew Pei Ruzhou here.

No one dared to question the right or wrong of fate, no one even dared to ask Pei Ruzhou, he never regretted this step.

Maybe...Pei Ruzhou didn't dare to think about it himself.

He respectfully placed the incense in front of God Venerable Yongxiao.

The lingering smoke rose from the fine incense, and the face of God Venerable Yongxiao was also hidden behind.

At this moment, Pei Ruzhou suddenly felt that this statue, which was not similar to the God Venerable Yongxiao himself, became familiar.

……

Pei Ruzhou stayed here.

I have to say that the location of this royal temple was really well chosen.

It is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with excellent scenery, fresh air, and the most amazing thing is that it is in a valley, and it is clearly in the middle of winter, but it is not very cold.

At least Pei Ruzhou has lived for so many years, and has never experienced such a warm winter.

There was not even a heavy snowfall in the temple, looking at the lush and lush surroundings, Pei Ruzhou thought he was still living in spring and summer in a trance.

I don't know if it's because the surrounding environment has improved, but Pei Ruzhou feels that he has become more energetic recently.

His daily life has become very simple.

Pei Ruzhou would sleep until he woke up naturally, and then the imperial physician would come over for consultation, and occasionally give him a few needles.Although the medicine is a bit bitter, it is not unbearable.

After drinking the medicine for so long, Pei Ruzhou was already used to the taste.

Day after day repeats like this, Pei Ruzhou feels that he will no longer be able to feel the passage of time.

From the eyes of others, the current Pei Ruzhou can be said to be extremely calm.However, unlike Pei Ruzhou, the group of imperial physicians were like ants on a hot pot, they were in a hurry.

——Although there are so many people around Pei Ruzhou, his body is still getting worse day by day.

Countless herbs were filled in, but Pei Ruzhou still showed no signs of getting better.

Not to mention the second task that Qi Baili left for them before he left - to help Pei Ruzhou detoxify the snake.

If this continues, what will Pei Ruzhou's body do...

During the recent period, the imperial physician has been changing methods to treat Pei Ruzhou's illness every day, but Pei Ruzhou himself is not in a hurry.

The experience on the battlefield, as well as those memories about the Netherworld, the God of Eternity and the Nine Heavens, really made him look down on life and death.

In the past few days, Pei Ruzhou has found something new to do - Qi Baili is currently fighting in Weiguo.

It was a country further south than Dayi.To be honest, not only had Pei Ruzhou never been there before, he had never even thought that one day he would go there to see it.

With this in mind, every time Qi Baili went to a new place, the first thing he did was not to set up troops, but to carefully write down what he had seen and heard during the recent period in the letter like a foolish king. The surrounding scenes are clearly written.

Sometimes, when he is in the mood, he will even draw a picture.

Recently, Pei Ruzhou has received a letter from Qi Baili almost every day.

At the beginning, Pei Ruzhou, who had experience in the battlefield, was still worried. He was afraid that this would delay Qi Baili's business.

But when he found out that the good news was still passed on one after another, Pei Ruzhou felt relieved.

He fell in love with the feeling of constant correspondence with Qi Baili.

Under Qi Baili's pen, the scenery of the mountains and rivers south of Dayi Fengcheng gradually became clearer, and then imprinted in the depths of Pei Ruzhou's mind.
