After the immortal disappeared

When he walked out of the temple, he saw several civilians sneaking into the temple and stealing sacrificial vessels and fruits.

The main temple of Miao Zhantian has exquisite architecture and is often decorated with treasures such as agate and beitui. There are dozens of gold and silver sacrificial vessels on the table.

The invisible majesty that usually shrouded this place disappeared, and the less pious civilians suddenly became interested in stealing.

When Xun Tongwei ran out of the temple gate, he saw more than a dozen pilgrims lying on the ground crying, as if they had lost their parents; but most of them were at a loss, looking back three times but slowly dispersed.

Isn’t the Lord God omnipotent?

Since he died at the mouth of the Dragon God, it means that he is not powerful enough.

How can a god who is not powerful enough gain everyone's faith?

Xun Tongwei hurriedly got on the carriage: "Send me to Situ's house, right away!"

Such a shocking incident must be reported immediately!

…

Four days later.

Another ocean-going ship docked at Julu Port. Fang Canran walked up the gangplank to the trestle. A mother and son in front of her were almost pushed into the water by the surging crowd.

Fang Canran supported them and looked up again, only to see a crowd of people.

He had been to Julu Port five months ago, and at that time he was impressed by how earth-shaking it was. But when he got off the boat today and took another look, he almost didn't recognize this place.

The port and wharf have been expanded, and two long trestles have been built at the wharf. Otherwise, there would be too many ships coming in and out, and they would not be able to dock.

The fish pier has been moved to the east coast, and the west coast is only used for passenger and cargo ships, so guests can no longer smell the pungent fish smell.

As soon as the ship docked, dock workers rushed over to unload the cargo, like hard-working worker bees.

There are more buildings on the shore and they are more magnificent, and even the trees are particularly energetic.

Everything seems to be thriving.

However, he had only walked less than a hundred feet, and his keen sense of hearing caught the name "Dragon God" appearing no less than ten times.

The merchants coming and going seemed to be discussing this. There are still many people standing at the pier, gesticulating towards the sea.

Before leaving the pier, a coachman came up to grab passengers. He asked Fang Canran with an enthusiastic face/smirk, where are you going? It only costs twelve copper coins to charter a car, and you can go anywhere in the harbor.

The price has increased. It only costs ten copper coins.

Fang Canran shook his head and turned to go to the Conch Tavern on the pier. He could never forget the yellow croaker noodles he had eaten here last time.

Let’s finish a bowl first and then go to Yangshan Chamber of Commerce.

The pub has also been expanded to a second floor, obviously surviving the fierce competition in the surrounding area.

Fang Canran walked in and just sat down to order a bowl of noodles when he heard someone next to him ask:

"That Beacon Island? Black Dragon?"

"You listen to their nonsense and lie to us foreigners."

"Why did I lie to you? Do I have any money for it? The black dragon was hovering over our Julu Port last night, and I saw it with my own eyes!" A local man said, "Ask the people here, who hasn't heard the dragon's roar? The whole Julu Port was awakened.”

The outsider didn't believe it: "Did you see with your own eyes that the black dragon landed on the island?"

"Uh..." That's not true.

Just then, the guy came over and pointed out the window: "I saw it."

"That night, I was sleeping on the second floor of this store. I was suddenly awakened by the roar of a dragon in the middle of the night. When I got up, I saw a dragon flying in the sky!"

Fang Canran joined in the question: "How long?"

"About a quarter of an hour. There were no clouds in the sky last night, and the appearance of the dragon was clearly visible." The clerk continued, "Then the dragon landed on Beacon Island, that island!"

Looking out from the large window of the Conch Tavern, we can see that there is a small island made of a large piece of reef in the inner bay of the port. It covers an area of ​​more than 300 square meters and is bare except for a few trees growing on its forehead. Ships passing by use it as a positioning beacon, hence the name Beacon Island.

"Under the moonlight, the scales all over the dragon's body are glowing black. If you haven't seen it with your own eyes, you can't understand how majestic and majestic it is!"

"Then what?"

"Then the Shenlong entered the water and played in the harbor for a while, but disappeared." The waiter said confidently, "I was not the only one to see it. There were many people in the port, and the seafarers on the ship also saw the Shenlong swimming in the water! You guys! Just go out and ask, if you know anything, just ask, some people will see it!”

At this moment, a man in a robe walked into the tavern. He was in his forties, tall and thin, holding a folding fan.

"Old Ding is here."

Fang Canran had met him a few months ago and knew that he was a man who told stories about ancient times and made a living by telling stories and telling jokes.

He has many routines and books, but the black dragon only appeared in the port a few days ago. Of course, everyone wants to listen to the story of the Dragon God.

The yellow croaker noodles ordered by Fang Canran arrived, a big, hot bowl.

When he picked up the chopsticks, Old Ding also lifted up his robe and sat down at his special seat. He drank a cup of free tea to moisten his throat. The first sentence he said was without surprising:

"Let's just say that the Dragon God killed Miao Zhantian that night, but it is certain..."

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

With two clicks, the chopsticks in Fang Canran's hand fell to the ground.

Everyone else turned to look at him. Fang Canran said "Sorry, sorry" while picking up chopsticks, feeling shocked.

The first news I heard after landing, is it so powerful?

Do these people in the tavern know the weight of the words "Miao Zhantian was killed"?

Fortunately, someone has already asked for him: "Hey, how do you say it's a certainty?"

Lao Ding talked about the strange things that happened in the goddess temple in Maiqiu, vividly.

Fang Canran could tell immediately that he was telling the story according to the script, and the details and key points were very thorough.

But it doesn't matter, the listeners like it this way.

Lao Ding then said: "Oh, within a radius of 300 miles, not only the Miaozhantian Temple has abnormalities, but also Fenghe Temple, Jinna Temple... There are also ominous signs. Overnight, all these gods disappeared!"

"What is the Dragon God going to do?"

"What? The Dragon God has mercy on the world and eliminates the suffering of Shanjin. Whoever bullies the people and oppresses Shanjin, the Dragon God will destroy him!" Lao Ding shook his head and nitpicked, "Gods will be killed, and demons will be destroyed!"

Someone in the corner asked timidly: "Gods, do gods bully us too?"

"Do you think that only officials and robbers bully you?" Lao Ding obviously recognized him, "I remember that your mother worshipped the god Jinna very sincerely."

"Yes, she used all the money she earned from needlework to pay tribute to the god Jinna."

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

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

"Then what happened?"

"When my brother died, she went to the temple to cry and complain. The temple said that my parents had committed too many sins and brought disaster to their children. If they didn't want me and my sister to have an accident, they had to atone for their sins more devoutly."

"Have you atoneed?"

The man was stunned: "No, I don't know."

"What about your family's money?"

"No. This year my father was sick and there was no money at home to treat him. He was almost carried away."
