Ten minutes later, the car stopped.
Xiao Chen and others got out of the car, and Li Zhensheng pointed at a building in the distance: "This is the Beihai Shrine."
"A shrine... a place where the gods are said to reside."
Xiao Chen looked at the building with a playful smile.
Is there a God in this world?
In the past, Xiao Chen was an atheist and did not believe in ghosts and gods!
But since he learned about the existence of cultivation, he actually began to believe it!
However, ghosts and gods are too vague and cannot be verified. At least, there is no way to verify the existence of the gods in the Chinese mythology system.
But people like Fuxi, Yan Emperor, Huang Emperor and so on did exist in real life and should have been very powerful!
So Xiao Chen thought, when a person's power is too strong, will he have the legendary "god-like" ability, such as flying...
Both the old fortune teller and Feng Feiyang mentioned that when a cultivator reaches a certain level of cultivation, he or she can fly in the air...
Things like flying thousands of miles in the sky might be a bit exaggerated, but it does exist.
As for the fact that Sun Wukong could travel a great distance with just one somersault, Xiao Chen thought that was a bit ridiculous.
Moreover, it is recorded in the ancient Naga books that they regarded Feng Feiyang as a "god" who possessed great magical powers and could move mountains and seas!
What's more, he also saw the legendary vampires and werewolves in Naga...so, he had more knowledge and speculations about ghosts and gods.
As for people dying and turning into ghosts... and going to hell, Xiao Chen didn't really believe it.
But if there is any existence in an island country that is revered as a 'god', then it is possible!
I just don’t know if he can see such an existence in the island country this time!
"Are these all ancient buildings? They look quite new."
Xiaodao looked around and said.
"It's not an ancient building, but a renovated one... This is also a feature of island shrines. Every few decades or so, the shrine will be renovated."
Li Zhensheng shook his head and said.
"Haha, God, do you think the house is too old? Do you want to live in a new house?"
Sun Wugong grinned and took a sip of wine.
"What is that? A memorial arch?"
"That's not a torii, it's a torii."
Li Zhensheng explained.
"It's actually similar to the memorial archways in China. Most shrines in island countries have this thing... I don't need to tell you about the history of island countries, right? Many things in island countries are related to China. It can be said that China's civilization has a profound influence on island countries."
"But these guys are ambitious and think they are powerful, so they launched an invasion against their former masters..."
Hao Jian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said something coldly.
"Haha, you're already at the shrine, so don't say such angry words. What if there really is a god and he comes out to deal with you?"
Xiao Chen looked at Hao Jian and joked.
"God? I would like to meet the god of the island country... If you dare to come, I will kill him with one sword!"
Hao Jian said coldly.
"Awesome... There might be a chance in a while, but just talking won't help."
Xiao Chen gave a thumbs up and continued walking forward.
There were quite a few tourists around, most of them had oriental faces...some of them spoke Chinese, and they looked like Chinese tourists.
There were also those who came with a tour group, wearing hats of various colors… oh, except green. They followed the tour guide, looking around and discussing from time to time.
Xiao Chen and his group obviously had a different temperament, and Li Zhensheng also brought a few black-clad bodyguards with him. Standing there, they looked like they were not easy to mess with...
Therefore, many people avoided them in advance when they saw them.
"In this island country, the existence of shrines is similar to the temples and Taoist temples in China. Some elderly people in particular believe in them and often come here to worship... Do you see that pool? It is for washing hands. You can only worship after washing your hands."
Li Zhensheng said this, pointing to the Torii gate.
"When one steps into the Torii gate, it is equivalent to entering the divine realm. One must be careful about one's words and actions."
"Can I drink?"
Sun Wugong said this and took another sip.
"If I say you can't drink, will you put down the wine gourd?"
Li Zhensheng looked at him and asked.
"cannot."
Sun Wugong shook his head.
"That's it..."
Li Zhensheng smiled and didn't care about Sun Wugong... Anyway, he knew that Xiao Chen and the others came to Beihai Shrine purely to see the excitement and had no awe at all.
Just like Hao Jian said, if the god dares to come out, he will kill him with one sword!
They are all going to be gods of war, so how can we expect them to have a sense of awe?
How is that possible!
Li Zhensheng acted as their tour guide, introducing the shrine to them. Things like hand washing... didn't exist.
While Xiao Chen was listening to Li Zhensheng's explanation, he looked around, searching for... where did those three guys go? Why couldn't he see them?
"Master, what are you looking for?"
Hong Yi noticed Xiao Chen's gaze and asked.
"Looking for someone."
Xiao Chen said casually.
"Looking for someone? The three people in Haimu Gorge just now?"
Hong Yi's heart moved and he asked.
"right."
Xiao Chen nodded.
"This is a place open to the public for tourists to visit...will they go to the back?"
Hong Yi thought about it and said.
Hearing this, Xiao Chen was startled, then nodded: "Yes, it is very likely."
"Then shall we look in the back?"
Hong Yi asked.
"Not for now, let's take a look around and take a look at the Hokkai Shrine."
Xiao Chen shook his head. If they really wanted to do something, it would definitely cause some noise, so there was no rush.
"These are the messengers of God..."
Li Zhensheng introduced the sculptures on both sides.
"The messenger of God... the one enshrined here can't be Erlang Shen, right? Otherwise, how can they get a few dogs to be messengers of God?"
Xiaodao took a few glances and said.
“This is not a dog…”
Li Zhensheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"The Beihai Shrine enshrines the 'Beihai God King'. It is said that this Beihai God King is the founder of the Tianbei School and is very powerful..."
"The founder of the sect? The ancestor of Tianbei School?"
Xiao Chen was surprised.
"right."
Li Zhensheng nodded.
"There is a statue of him inside, but it seems to have been deified and doesn't look like a human anymore."
"Let's go in and take a look."
Xiao Chen was a little curious and walked towards the main temple.
At the entrance of the temple stood two people in black robes. They glanced at Xiao Chen and the others and frowned slightly.
Who are they?
It looks unusual.
Xiao Chen also raised his eyebrows. Warrior? However, he was not very strong, just like the peak of the early stage of Dark Power.
Xiao Chen had no interest in someone with the peak strength of the early stage of Dark Energy...
Not to mention the early stage of dark energy, he can kill those in the early stage of transformation energy in seconds.
The two men in black robes did not stop Xiao Chen and the others, but their eyes lingered on them for a few times.
Xiao Chen also ignored them, but Li Hanhou keenly realized that they should be warriors.
Li Hanhou lowered his head and looked at them... one punch each?
When Li Hanhou was watching them, the two men in black robes clearly felt a tremendous pressure, as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast, and they had difficulty breathing.
The two men in black robes changed color, and then they thought about the large number of ancient martial arts practitioners from China who came to the island country... Could it be that they are ancient Chinese martial artists?
When Li Hanhou saw Xiao Chen and the others go in, he stopped looking at them and followed them in.
When Li Hanhou looked away, the pressure suddenly disappeared...
“Huff, huff, huff…”
The two men in black robes took a few deep breaths, their eyes filled with horror.
"Quick, go inform the Lord Divine Guard."
One of the men in black robes said to the other.
"good."
The other man in black robe nodded and left quickly.
Xiao Chen saw their reactions, but he didn't care...
At this time, he was standing in front of a so-called "statue of god". It was a very large statue, similar to the statues in Chinese temples. When people looked up at it, they would naturally feel a sense of oppression and awe.
However, Xiao Chen didn't have that feeling at all. He looked indifferent as he looked at the statue... No wonder Lao Li said it was deified. It didn't look like a human being. It really didn't look like one.
Black face, bull eyes, and a horn on the forehead... He looks quite ferocious, similar to the door gods in Chinese temples.
What surprised Xiao Chen even more was that this guy had a tail, but it was behind him and looked like neither a dragon nor a snake.
"He is the God King of the North Sea."
Li Zhensheng also did not have much awe, and said to Xiao Chen.
"Isn't he the founder of Tianbei School? Why does he look like neither a human nor a monster? Could he be a demon?"
Xiaodao was also looking at him, especially the horn on his forehead, which made him want to chop it off with a knife.
“Haha, it’s deified. Maybe they think this is more like being a god.”
Li Zhensheng smiled.
"I'm more curious, why would they make the founder of the sect like this, and then enshrine him here, and let people come to worship..."
Hao Jian crossed his arms and said.
Hearing Hao Jian's words, Xiao Chen's heart moved... and he looked intently at the statue in front of him.
This time, he felt something strange.
Especially... when his eyes met the eyes of the statue, he actually felt like he was 'alive'.
Yes, that’s the feeling, the statue seems to be alive!
This startled him, but when he looked away and looked again, he no longer had that feeling.
However, he felt that the feeling he had just now was definitely not an illusion.
This statue...is not as simple as it seems.
There are many shrines on the island country, and many of them have martial arts sects behind them... This can't be a coincidence!
There must be a special reason behind this!
"Master, what's wrong?"
Hong Yi looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
"nothing."
Xiao Chen shook his head and suppressed some thoughts.
"I think... he's looking at me."
Suddenly, Li Hanhou said something.
"Hmm? Look at you?"
Xiaodao was stunned and looked at Li Hanhou.
"Dahan, who are you talking about?"
"he."
Li Hanhou pointed at the statue and said.
“…”
Xiaodao and others were speechless. What the hell are you looking at, you're just a statue!
Xiao Chen looked at Li Hanhou. He knew that Dahan's senses were always sharp... It seemed that he also had that feeling.
"Is this the god of the island nation? Come on, pray, maybe he can bless us."
There was a Chinese voice coming from the side.
