Chapter 458: Niangniang Temple
Haixi City is built by the sea, with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate. It is a popular tourist city.
The venue for this film festival was ingeniously chosen to be a luxury cruise ship.
Jiang Xu and Jiang Yu flew to Haixi City first. As soon as they left the airport, there were special reception staff waiting outside to greet them.
The car drove along the coastline, and suddenly, Jiang Xu saw a crowd gathering in the distance.
On the mountainside, there is a magnificent temple with constant burning incense. Believers who come to worship even line up in front of the temple.
Nowadays, everyone advocates science. Apart from his sister's Xuanqing Sect, this is the first time that Jiang Yu has seen such a lively temple.
"What is this?" Jiang Yu asked curiously.
"This is the Niangniang Temple built by the Kong family. As you know, we are a coastal city and many people make a living from the sea. We have this belief culture." The driver was very enthusiastic.
Kong family?
"The Kong family is the richest family in Haixi City and is also one of the organizers of this film festival." Jiang Yu introduced in a low voice.
"Not only that, the Kong family is a great philanthropist here. They donated money to build roads and did a lot of good things. We ordinary people are very grateful to them." The driver added excitedly.
"Did you see that? It's the team on the outside."
Following the direction the driver pointed, they saw another queue outside the temple.
"That's the line for free lunch and medical care. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, poor people can come and have free meals and free medical care."
Jiang Yu: "Then the Kong family is really good people, no wonder the incense is so prosperous."
"That's right!" The driver nodded repeatedly. "Who in Haixi City doesn't know the good reputation of the Kong family?"
"Moreover, Mr. Kong was a love-struck man. It was Mr. Kong who came up with the idea to build this Niangniang Temple."
Although Mr. Kong is the richest man now, he started from scratch and suffered a lot when he was young.
At that time, he had just entered society and was still young. He rented a fishing boat with someone to do business. As a result, not only was he cheated out of all his money, he was also knocked unconscious and thrown into the sea.
The old man can swim, but how long can a person survive in this vast ocean?
Just when he was desperately thinking that he was really going to die here, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared and rescued him.
This person later became Mrs. Kong.
At that time, the old man suffered a head injury and lost his memory, and was taken back to the fishing village by Mrs. Kong to be cared for.
Life in the fishing village is peaceful and beautiful. They work from sunrise to sunset, and the old man and Mrs. Kong also fall in love with each other as they get along.
But later, the old man regained his memory.
Although life in this fishing village is as beautiful as a paradise, he cannot abandon his responsibilities as a son.
Old Mrs. Kong saw what was on his mind and not only did not stop him, but she took the initiative to propose to bring his family to the fishing village to take care of them, and even took out her savings to support him in starting a new life.
In this way, the two of them joined hands to start a business, starting with a small fishing boat and slowly accumulating wealth.
Mrs. Kong was smart and capable, and the old man was courageous and courageous. Their business grew bigger and bigger, and finally they became the richest people in the area.
Later, the old lady died of illness, and the old man was heartbroken.
In order to commemorate his wife and to express his gratitude to the fishing village and the sea for their gifts, he funded the construction of this Niangniang Temple.
"Now, every time our fishing boats are about to go out to sea, they will come here to burn incense."
The driver laughed when he saw that Jiang Xu and Jiang Yu didn't say anything.
"Haha, every time I say this, many tourists from inland areas think we are too superstitious."
"But, how do you put it, there's actually some truth to this."
"My great-grandfather used to be a sailor. Once, he was out at sea when a huge typhoon suddenly hit. The whole boat was blown all over the place. It was the goddess of the sea who protected us that appeared and changed the direction of the typhoon, so that everyone on the boat could return safely."
The driver was very enthusiastic and began to talk about his friend's adventures at sea.
While listening, Jiang Xu looked at the temple thoughtfully for a few more times.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yu asked in a low voice.
Jiang Xu leaned close to his ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear:
"There's a faint sense of resentment surrounding this Niangniang Temple."
Jiang Yu was slightly stunned, and a hint of interest flashed across his eyes.
The famous philanthropist who loved his wife built a temple for the goddess to facilitate people's prayers, but there was still a hint of resentment in it.
"Didn't anyone else notice?"
Jiang Xu: "Something must have suppressed it. Coupled with the incense offerings from the believers, the resentment has been suppressed to a very faint level."
Jiang Yu looked at her: "Are you in trouble?"
Jiang Xu took out his phone and sent a message to Fu Ming. Upon hearing this, he raised an eyebrow and said, "Not bad."
An hour and a half later, we arrived at the harbor.
The boat was already waiting at the shore. Those who could attend the film festival were not small-time celebrities. The assistants and bodyguards were fully armed, and everyone was in a hurry.
When Jiang Xu boarded the cruise ship, he suddenly paused, laughed, and said to Jiang Yu, "It seems that not only us, but also old friends are here."
Jiang Yu understood instantly and smiled meaningfully.
No wonder.
When the time came, the ship set sail on time.
The typhoon season has just passed, the sea is calm and clear, and the sea breeze carries a hint of sea water.
The opening ceremony started in the evening. Jiang Xu enjoyed the sea breeze for a while, returned to the box and rested for a while. Jiang Yu came over and brought her some lunch.
After they finished their meal, someone knocked on the door from outside.
The director was holding the camera with a bright smile on his face.
"Master Jiang! Surprise!"
Jiang Xu slowly turned her head to look at the camera, her long hair draped over her shoulders, her eyes cold yet gentle.
The audience who just clicked into the live broadcast room saw this shocking scene and were so excited that barrages of comments filled the screen.
【Ahhh, screen licking crit. 】
[Why is the lens dirty? I lick it, I lick it, I lick it hard.]
[I thought I was seeing things. How come today is Thursday? How come a fairy has come down to earth?]
[Ahhh, I'm not prepared at all!]
[Is this the last episode? Woohoo! I really miss Master Jiang and the guests!]
[No!]
【Wow, I'm crying and licking the screen! 】
Seeing everyone's enthusiastic feedback, Luo Yan smiled.
“Surprise!”
"In this final episode, all viewers of our Truth Program will follow Master Jiang and his guests on the red carpet for the film festival! Surprising! Isn't that a surprise?"
Luo Yan looked at Jiang Xu with a smile.
Jiang Xu raised his eyebrows expressionlessly.
Jiang Yu's expression was filled with surprise: "...Should we be surprised?"
After understanding his words, Luo Yan stopped laughing for a second: ...
What a mistake. I shouldn't have looked for these two siblings first.
[Hahaha, I forgot what Master Jiang does.]
[If nothing else, you can guess it just by smelling it, right? Hahaha.]
"Ah, it looks like everyone's been pleasantly surprised by us. Master Jiang, how about we go find the next guest?"
Jiang Xu and Jiang Yu followed the director team to knock on the door. Everyone was surprised to see the director.
Tang Yue happily rubbed against Jiang Xu's side: "I was wondering if tomorrow is Friday, why haven't you sent us a notification message yet? It turns out you're waiting for us here!"
Zhao Xin: "So, Director, the last episode won't be thrilling or suspenseful, and won't feature Master Jiang catching ghosts. Instead, we'll just be walking the red carpet in style."
Luo Yan chuckled: "Of course not."
"For the final episode, after the red carpet walk, we will also add a live interactive session. Don't miss it if you pass by."
