92. Chapter 92 What a strange feeling



After all, asking Erlang to worship Erlang Shen always made him feel a little confused about time and space.

The Erwang Temple still looks majestic despite the repairs of successive dynasties. Inside the temple, there are winding stairs, interlaced pavilions and halls, and red eaves and flying pavilions.

"Dig deep into the riverbed and build low dams"; "Cut the corners when encountering a bend, extend the straight line and drain the center" and other water management mottos are deeply carved into the walls of the Erwang Temple.

The old man said that there would be a big opera at the temple fair to commemorate Erlang, and after it was over he would take him to the current Dujiangyan scenic area for a good stroll.

Erlang simply took off the conspicuous silver armor and gave it to the old man.

A man walked slowly inside the temple, which is now filled with Taoist atmosphere, looking at this place which is very special to him.

After a while, he rushed into the main hall with a clear goal.

The main hall consists of Li Bing Hall and Erlang Hall, one in front and one behind. The eaves of the buildings are covered with famous sayings on water control.

A statue of father Li Bing is located in it.

Erlang took a few glances, then shook his head and left.

I feel a little disappointed, but also a little relieved.

The statue of my father Li Bing is beautifully carved, but unfortunately it doesn't look like my father's real appearance at all.

Although Erlang was a little disappointed that they couldn't meet again across such a long distance in time and space, he also understood the situation.

The next target is naturally Erlang Palace.

Opposite the Erlang Hall is a stage, and at this moment the old man is directing the performances of a group of opera troupes on the stage.

Erlang subconsciously stopped and looked at the opera being performed on the stage.

A tour group nearby also stopped, and the leading tour guide began to explain: "The Erlang Temple is in front, where Erlang Shen is enshrined."

"The performance on this stage right now is to commemorate Erlang's birthday, which is the 24th day of the sixth lunar month."

"Everyone knows Erlang Shen, right? He was the one who bit the Monkey King when a dog bit him."

As the tour guide began to explain, the tourists around him subconsciously quieted down and started chattering about Erlang Shen.

Only Erlang, who was standing aside, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Why does the old man say that Erlang Shen released dogs to bite people when he mentioned him, and the tour guide also said that Erlang Shen released dogs to bite people when he mentioned him.

He is so tall, majestic, handsome and handsome. What kind of god did later generations turn him into in various legends? Can the Yong Zhou of the later generations do something about it?

The memory of flood control, the memory of eternal day, and the memory forced upon him by the mythology were all somewhat fragmented.

He really had no recollection of letting his dog bite people.

However, the vague mythological beliefs did have many magical effects on him who was in a higher spiritual state.

Not only did the many techniques he had learned from Yong Zhou undergo strange changes, but it also made it seem as if he actually had a tiny paper dog in his arms that he could throw out at any time and turn it into a divine dog.

Therefore, although Erlang was helpless about letting the dog bite people, he couldn't completely refute it.

In silence, Erlang decided that when the contemporary leader came to take him home, he would definitely ask what the so-called Erlang Shen looked like.

In addition, he was also curious about the notes that the little girls stuffed into his body. He would ask the contemporary leader about the meaning of those strange symbols on them when the time comes.

While Erlang was lost in thought, the tour guide spoke again: "Of course, those are all further adaptations of myths and novels passed down in later generations."

"There are more myths and legends about Erlang near our Dujiangyan."

"There is a classical building complex called Fulong Temple at the northern end of Dujiangyan, and the Baopingkou, the water diversion point of the Dujiangyan project, is just below Fulong Temple."

"It is said that this is where Erlang Shen subdued the evil dragon, and the evil dragon was locked in the deep pool below..."

Seeing that the tourists had almost finished their discussion, the tour guide decisively started to tell another story, successfully getting the surrounding tourists to quiet down and listen to him.

The story of Erlang Shen subduing the evil dragon did happen, although the tour guide's vivid description of the process was far from the truth.

The truth of the story is that not long after he finished controlling the flood and joined Eternal Day, an abyss monster that looked like an evil dragon wreaked havoc on the world.

The person ordered to capture was an entire Yongri combat team, not just him alone.

However, as he was extremely talented in cultivation, he performed extremely well in that battle. He jumped into the river with a knife and fought with the evil dragon for seventy-seven forty-nine rounds.

The monster was not sealed but was dealt with on the spot.

Later, after it was all over.

The members of Eternal Day, who were acting together at the time, followed customary practice to blur the memories of nearby residents who witnessed the scene.

Since then, this myth has been passed down in history.

Over the years, it has undergone various compilations and modifications, and these people's vague memories may be the origin of the Erlang Shen myth.

Recalling the rare clear part of slaying the dragon in his fragmented memories, Erlang's thoughts couldn't help but drift away.

Today is still an era of peace and prosperity.

The smell of fireworks along the way shows that people are still living and working in peace and contentment.

But since he, as a hidden background, has been recalled by the contemporary leader.

This means that the abyss has begun its covetousness and erosion again, and the newly born generation of Eternal Day needs him at this moment.

Thinking, Erlang came to Erlang Palace.

Let’s not talk about the statue of Roaring Sky Dog at the entrance of the temple.

Just looking at the statue in the center of the hall sitting in a strange posture, Erlang had a thousand complaints in his heart, but he didn't know how to start.

It seems that, just like the old chief priest in the Erwang Temple who was so unruly that he dared to strip the clothes of the statue, the statue of Erlang Shen in the Erlang Hall also has a strange and unruly style.

He didn't know that this was because Dayu broke one of his legs while concentrating on flood control, so the statue was made with the right leg on top of the left leg, in an attempt to compare Li Erzi's achievements with Dayu's.

Erlang only knew that this strange sitting posture was really strange and should not appear on the statue.

What kind of rogue god is this? Will this indecent posture be named after him in the future? Crossing your legs? That's too embarrassing, right? !

The feeling of traveling back in time a thousand years to find yourself worshipped as a god, but the statue is an extremely ugly photo of yourself is so damn stupid.

He didn't understand social death, but he knew that he had a very strange feeling now.

Silent, Jilang didn't know what to say.

It was not until a dark, deep, yet extremely familiar aura came from his spiritual perception that Erlang finally came to his senses.

The breath of the abyss?! He was shocked at first, then calmed down again.

Yes, that's not surprising.

If the abyss had not encroached again, why would the contemporary leader recall him as a heroic spirit?

“It’s almost time to revisit the old place.”

"It's time to do what you should do."

Erlang looked seriously in the direction of the Minjiang River opposite the Erwang Temple, and his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the layers of walls inside the Erwang Temple.
