Holy Bone

Chapter 407 Erlang Zhenjun Orders Water Talisman Daxing Western Regions Desert

In the desert in the early morning, the heat has not yet risen.

The morning sun shines from far to near, across the rippling sand, over a few solitary Populus euphratica trees, over the sand dunes, and finally the boundless golden light shines into Yueqiang City.

It gets dark late in the desert, and people wake up very late. At this time, everyone is still asleep, and the shops along the street will not open until noon.

The pace of life in the desert is slow.

But today, the city gate of Yueqiang City was uncharacteristically opened early. Under the leadership of the princess of Yueqiang Kingdom and General Kulijiang, the soldiers of Yueqiang Kingdom and members of the royal family solemnly sent a Han Taoist priest out of the city.

The guarding soldiers looked at the scene in front of them that they couldn't believe for the rest of their lives, and there was nothing but shock in their eyes except shock.

They stared in shock at being surrounded by members of the royal family to ask for their health, and told the Han Taoist priests who often came back to see them. They collectively silenced their voices and dared not take a breath.

Many people have already recognized Jin An's identity!

It was the Han Taoist who was hastily invited into Yueqiang Kingdom by General Kulijiang late at night the night before yesterday!
There are many veterans among the soldiers on duty on the city wall. They have been soldiers for most of their lives, and they have never seen such a grand royal family member dispatched collectively, just to send one person off, especially this person is a Han Taoist priest from outside the desert.

Even if envoys from various countries are not qualified for this kind of grand courtesy, the envoys from Kangding Kingdom do not have such a grand courtesy when visiting.

They looked at the young Han Taoists outside the city gate in shock and curiosity.

"There is a saying among us Han people, 'There is always a banquet in the world', everyone, let's just say goodbye, don't give any more, I have accepted your wishes."

Jin An saw that it was getting late, and the sun was about to rise, and the desert was scorching hot again, so he cupped his fists as a final farewell.

There were many old acquaintances present, Gulizal, Kulijiang with a big beard, and members of the royal family, but the king of Yueqiang Kingdom was not present to see him off.

"By the way, I specially left Zhang Erlang Zhenjun's water talisman under the temple of worshiping the gods. You don't have to worry about human-faced clay pots floating downstream to pollute the water source in the future. That yellow talisman can not only purify the water source, but also To solve the problem of the gradual depletion of water sources, the problem of the depletion of underground rivers I have found out yesterday. It is not a punishment from the desert gods to the Yueqiang Kingdom. Erlang Zhenjun is the god of water... You can understand it as the god of water. I used Erlang Zhenjun's talisman to open up a new water diversion tributary for the Yueqiang Kingdom in the depths of the underground river. The sediment in the new tributary has not yet settled. Don't touch the yellow talisman under the temple of the sacrificial god, it will slowly build up new tributaries as time goes by."

"If you are worried that there will be other human-faced stinkbugs or human-faced pottery jars floating from the upper reaches to the Yueqiang Kingdom and bringing disaster to the Yueqiang Kingdom again, you can build a temple for Erlang Zhenjun and his old man in the city. Jun is not only the god of water, but also the god of war who can carry mountains and drive away the sun, search mountains and subdue demons, and protect places. In the future, you will lead everyone to offer more incense to Zhenjun Erlang and offer more incense, so that he can protect the country and the people of Yueqiang forever, and the water source is safe .”

Jin'an gained [-] yin virtues in the Yueqiang Kingdom this time. This is a great harvest. If the princess and Ku Lijiang hadn't invited him to slay the demons, there would be no such rich gains. , From the beginning to the end, a total of [-] Yinde was spent to leave Zhang Zhenjun Erlang's Water Talisman granted three times to help the Yueqiang Kingdom never suffer forever.

Another reason is because, if Zhenjun Erlang didn't order the water talisman this time, he wouldn't be able to kill the cunning human-faced bug so smoothly.

This time, he gave up a lot of money to build a good relationship with the old man Erlang Zhenjun. There are incense believers in a country as a base.

Today, so many members of the royal family sent off Jin’an collectively. The first purpose is to be grateful, and the second purpose is to implore Jin’an to stay and help them. This experience made them know the horror of the devil, and they are afraid of those clay pots with human faces. They will be exiled to the Yueqiang Kingdom again. Now that they heard what Jin An said, they all beamed with joy, and kept thanking Jin An.

Seeing that she was about to part with Jin An, Princess Gulizal, the most delicate flower blooming in Yueqiang Kingdom, finally mustered up her courage: "Master Jin'an, I..."

Gulizal had just plucked up the courage to say five words, but Jin An seemed to have seen through her mind, Wen Xiao interrupted: "Princess, today's farewell may be the last time you and I see each other, and it will be difficult to see each other again in the future." See you, princess, take care."

After finishing speaking, Jin An rode on the camel, facing the vigorous Jinri that had completely leaped out of the horizon at this time, he quickly went away amidst the crisp sound of the camel bells, returning home like an arrow.

When he came, he took three or four camels to transfer. After he left this time, he took ten camels. These camels were presented by the Yueqiang royal family. Milk wine, various supplies.

Kulijiang also left with Jin An. Yue Qiang Kingdom still left more than [-] people to protect the caravan. Those soldiers only obeyed him and the king.

After all, Gulizal was unable to tell the other party what Jin An interrupted. Her eyes were covered with water mist, and tears glistened in the morning sun. She finally gritted her teeth and swallowed the tears firmly, not letting herself shed tears.

Strong enough to make people pity.

baa!
The sheep tied to the hump of a camel by Jin An uttered a low cry to the familiar person behind him, as if to comfort him, as if to say goodbye.

Until he couldn't see the city behind him, he still looked at the direction behind him reluctantly, but his eyes were blocked by the sand dunes, and he couldn't see anything behind him, only a long series of camel hoof marks.

"Daoist Jin'an, the sheep you brought into the desert this time gave me the feeling that he has understood human nature. He seems to have a deep affection for our Yueqiang country and has been reluctant to part with him. Where did you find such a sensible person, Daoist Jin'an?" Sheep with human nature?" Kulijiang said in surprise.

He didn't have much parting sorrow along the way.

Because after sending Jin'an off, he will return to Yueqiang country immediately.

Jin An looked back at the sheep carried by the camels, and said with a smile: "He said he was a sinner, and he wanted to travel far to redeem his soul, and get forgiveness from the desert gods for the Yueqiang Kingdom and his family."

Kulijiang was puzzled when he heard this.

After all, not everyone can imagine that a living person will be turned into a sheep.

……

……

Outside the city of Yueqiang Kingdom, until the camel team could no longer be seen and the crisp camel bells could no longer be heard, Gulizal was comforted by other royal family members before returning to the palace in a depressed mood.

After returning to the palace, her eyes were red and she came to her father's residence. She was like a person who lost her way in the desert, feeling confused and depressed, and wanted to get some comfort and the answer to her future life.

However, when she came to the king's residence, she found that her father was not there. She asked her father who guarded the palace most trusted soldiers, but was told that the king left the palace alone before dawn, and left a letter to Princess.

The princess hurriedly opened the envelope, and when she read the contents of the letter, the tears of grievance she had been holding back could not stop falling.

There were three letters, the king said he was guilty, he listened to the temptation of the devil, and took the initiative to invite the devil into the Yueqiang Kingdom, killing many people, offering sacrifices to several priests in the temple, Hekmaiti shaman, and others Although he didn't kill him directly, he died because of him. He found that he couldn't face his soul calmly, so he wanted to exile himself, hoping that in the exile in the desert, he could get the forgiveness of the gods for his crimes.

There is a saying in the desert that people who approach the devil will eventually be abandoned by the desert gods, and finally die of hunger, buried in the sand, and their souls will never see the light of day...

Only when he leaves the Yueqiang Kingdom, will the disaster of the water source of the Yueqiang Kingdom disappear, and the desert gods will only punish him alone, and will not implicate the Yueqiang Kingdom and his most beloved daughter, Gulizal.

The king was worried that Gulizal would be sad and would oppose his self-exile and redemption, so he didn't tell Gulizal about it. Instead, he summoned all the ministers last night, so that the ministers of the Yueqiang Kingdom and Kulijiang would be able to do so in the future. Help her govern the country with all her strength.

"...If you are really worried about your father's safety, promise your father not to follow my footprints in the desert..."

"...With Daoist Jin'an protecting my father, my father will not be in danger. Daoist Jin'an said that he has a way to redeem the big mistakes I made..."

"...the father is the king of the Yueqiang Kingdom, and also the father of a daughter. How can a father fail to see his daughter's thoughts? When the daughter grows up, it is the most beautiful time in full bloom. The father also thinks that Jin'an Road The father is very good. The father can help his daughter to ask the Taoist Master Jin'an if their Han Taoist priests can marry wives and have children, and if he has someone he already likes. There is a saying in the Han people that "Jinger is still hot when old", and the Taoist Master Jin'an must not have thought of this ..."

"...My father promises you that when my father feels that I have been redeemed and can be forgiven by the desert gods, my father will come back again. I haven't seen my daughter get married and have children, and have my own husband..."

"..."

Gulizal wept sadly at first, and the tears wet several pages of letter paper, but when he saw the last page, Gulizal had forgotten the sadness and tears, and his face was burning red.

After reading all the content, in the golden halo of the rising sun, Gulizal laughed through tears.

Looking at the princess who was crying and laughing for a while, and the guards guarding the door of the king's bedroom, she was so frightened that she turned her back subconsciously, not daring to look more, and not daring to criticize the royal family.

……

That is to say, from this day onwards, the construction of Yueqiang City will be vigorously carried out, and the royal family will build a divine palace next to the palace.

It has been a long time since Yueqiang Kingdom has been so lively, and the people in the city have rushed to watch the excitement.

With the efforts of the whole country, the construction of the Shenyu was completed very quickly. After seeing the appearance of the Shenyu, whether it was the people of the Yueqiang Kingdom or other businessmen from the Western Regions who passed through Yueqiang City, they were all shocked to see that the Shenyu was actually a Taoist temple.

There is a plaque hanging at the entrance of the Taoist temple——

Taoist temple of the five internal organs!

There are three statues of gods enshrined in the Taoist temple.

Lord Erlang,

Young Taoists in five-color Taoist robes,

and a sheep as strong as an ox.

After learning that Zhenjun Erlang is the god of water and resolved the water crisis in the Yueqiang Kingdom, the people of the Yueqiang Kingdom spontaneously went to offer incense.

The desert people's desire for water exceeds their desire for food and gold.

Under the worship of the whole country, the incense burner in front of the statue of Erlang Zhenjun continued to burn.

When it was learned that the young Taoist in Taoist robes with internal organs was more powerful than the shaman, and that a royal family personally stood up to prove that the miracle of the coexistence of the sun, moon and thunder not long ago was from this young Taoist, the Yueqiang Kingdom was in an uproar.

Business-minded businessmen in the Western Regions have already started looking for painters overnight to drive out new door god stickers.

Even, the royal family has always been grateful for Jin An's life-saving kindness, and also kept in mind Jin An's original words. Erlang Zhenjun can protect a pure land and water source. In order to enhance the cohesion of incense, let Erlang Zhenjun and Jin An continue to protect Yueqiang for generations. The water source of the country, specially set up a sacrificial ceremony "Water God Festival", written into the laws and regulations of the Yueqiang Kingdom, as the most solemn day of the year.

Even the goat incense burner is flourishing.

What is the most desert?
There is no doubt that it is lamb skewers!
Everyone wants their shepherds to grow stronger and better, and those incense sticks are filled with the most fervent prayers of ordinary people for a happy life!
