Chapter 3 Chapter 2 Never offend a woman, let alone a goddess

After noon, Sangyangdi had already walked over the top of the mountain and saw a rather magnificent temple from a distance. If the old store owner is not wrong, this temple should be the "Nvsnail Temple" as he said. Although Sang Yangdi himself has not read too many books, he has heard the legend of the goddess snail several times. According to legend, Gong Gong, the god of water, failed in the battle against Zhu Rong, the god of fire, and angrily knocked down the mountain that was not surrounded by the Tianzhu. At that time, in order to save the common people, the benevolent Goddess Snail killed a big tortoise and used the turtle shell to refine five-color stones to mend the sky. There are also legends that all mortals are created by Nvsnail. The snail uses its loess to knead a human shape and endow it with life. Later, because this process is slow, the rope is dipped in mud, and wherever the mud goes, it becomes a small person one by one.

Therefore, in addition to saving the world, this female god with a human head and a snake body is also a god of creation. In Chaoge City, there are also many temples dedicated to Nuwo. Although Sangyangdi doesn't talk about ghosts and gods, he still dare not show any disrespect to such temples.He walked slowly towards the Nusnail Temple, put down the bag on his back, took out the lamb, and said softly: "Sheep, sheep." The little goat was having a dream of running on the grassland. After being woken up by his father, he wrinkled his nose, opened his eyes wide and looked at the sky, and only half woke up after a while.

"Go to Nvshao Niangniang Niangniang Temple to worship," Sang Yangdi rubbed Yang'er's fat little hands, "ask her to bless the little Yang'er for a long life and a safe life." Yang'er rubbed his eyes, giggled and ran towards the temple. It was about noon, and the sun was shining brightly in front of the Nusnail Temple, and few people were walking in front of the temple. Sang Yangdi followed behind Yang'er. , shouting and drinking. "Don't be busy! Be careful not to fall." The little boy Yanger ran towards the temple gate, his giggles were as sweet as silver bells, but suddenly, a figure flashed from behind the temple gate, and he was about to collide with the little sheep. full of.

With a sound of "touch", the little goat bumped into the crook of the man's foot, and was about to fall if he couldn't stop.Sangyangdi on the side was startled, and was about to come over to help, but the man in white leaned over neatly, and with a backhand, he hugged the sheep in his arms. Frightened by such an accident, Yang'er was about to cry, but when he raised his eyes, he met the man face to face, opened his eyes wide, but forgot to cry. That person turned out to be an extremely beautiful woman, her phoenix eyes were sad, but there was a hint of wisdom on her face.She hugged the lamb, but she was stunned when she saw his face, and then she put the lamb down.

At this time, Sangyangdi had also arrived. He hurriedly took the sheep, and asked in a hurry: "Did you step on it? Did you fall?" At this time, Xiao Yang'er opened his big eyes and looked at the beautiful woman in white.Sang Yangdi followed his gaze, and the father and son stared at her intently. After the woman returned the sheep to Sang Yangdi, she didn't say a word. When she turned around, her white clothes fluttered in the wind, and she walked away. Enter the Nvsnail Temple. Sang Yangdi couldn't utter a thank you word stuck in his throat, and the figure of the woman disappeared at the gate of the temple.He patted the dust on the sheep's back, and before he could stand up, a long copper bell sounded from afar.

When the bell sounded into his ears, Sang Yangdi's face turned serious, he hesitated for a moment, then stood up holding the sheep, and listened attentively. The bells sounded one after another, quite melodious, but there was a faint chill, the long "clank" sound approached from far away, as if it was coming towards the direction of the Nvsnail Temple. Sangyangdi has lived in the capital for a long time, and he is not unfamiliar with this kind of bell, because it is the signal for the opening of the road when the emperor of the Shang Dynasty, King Zhou, is on a tour. In severe cases, a precious life may be lost.

Sang Yangdi knew that today's emperor is a romantic boy who likes to drink and love to play. His absurd deeds in the palace have long been familiar stories to Chaoge people.Now that King Zhou's patrol team was approaching, Sangyangdi looked around and found that there was a plain around Nvwo Temple, and there was no place to hide nearby.His thoughts turned extremely fast, and he thought of an excellent hiding place in the blink of an eye. So he carried the bag and the sheep, and rushed into the Nvsnail Temple. Entering the temple, I saw that the huge space was cleaned extremely neatly and elegantly.On the altar is a rich offering of sacrificial fish, but the altar behind the altar is surrounded by a soft curtain, and it is not clear what the statue of the female snail looks like.

Sang Yangdi looked around and saw a few extremely thick beams on the roof, so he had a clue in his heart.He lowered his head and whispered, "Sheep, sheep." The little boy Yang'er opened his eyes wide and stared at his father intently. "There are fierce people coming, we have to hide," he said in a low voice, "When you hide, you must not make any noise! ​​Otherwise, Daddy will be arrested by them, and the sheep will never be seen again." I can't see Daddy anymore, do you know?" Sheep nodded. "Very good," Sang Yangdi smiled gratifiedly. "Turn back, Daddy will buy candy for the sheep to eat."

At this time, the bells and silk and bamboo music of King Zhou's army were getting closer and closer. Sang Yangdi took a long breath, hugged his son in his left hand, raised his right hand, squatted on his leg, and climbed up the beam. The girder was extremely thick, and it was still more than enough for the father and son to hide on it.Yang'er was probably uncomfortable being hugged by Sang Yangdi, so he struggled in his arms, and Sang Yangdi let out a "hush", and the boy calmed down obediently. At this time, there were already noisy voices outside the temple gate. Sang Yangdi quietly looked around the scene in the temple, but suddenly thought of something.

Didn't the woman in white also walk into the temple?Why didn't I see her figure? Before he had time to think about such a thought, King Zhou's former servant had already entered the Nuwa Temple.Several servants cleaned the ground in the temple carefully, and then opened their voices and shouted loudly: "Welcome to the emperor, enter the temple to worship." I saw figures flickering at the gate of the temple, and there was a burst of heroic laughter. Sang Yangdi leaned over curiously and saw a thick and strong king walking into the temple, accompanied by a heroic general in golden armor.

Sang Yangdi had seen this general Yingwei once in Chaoge City, and knew that he was Huang Feihu, the number one general in the Shang Dynasty. But this is the first time Sangyangdi has seen this legendary emperor of today. Reflecting the dim fire in the temple, he can only see that King Zhou is a strong man who is two heads taller than others, with strong muscles. , with a beard growing on his face, his eyes were a little swollen and absent-minded, but he couldn't hide his confident and smart look. At this moment, King Zhou seemed to be in a good mood. After he entered the temple, he looked around curiously. The servants had prepared the incense table, but he just saluted carelessly, but kept staring at the clean screen behind the divine table. "What is this?" King Zhou frowned, pointed at Lian Mu and said loudly. An old official hurried forward, bowed and said, "The old minister, Shang Rong, told the Son of Heaven that this is the statue of the Nusnail Empress." King Zhou shook his hand impatiently and shouted, "Then why can't I see what Empress Nuwa looks like?" "Return to the Son of Heaven," the old prime minister Shang Rong said: "Nvwa is an ancient god who has great kindness and virtue to the people. I have worshiped Nuwa for hundreds of years. I have worshiped the whole country for good weather and prosperity. It is always dusty, and I don’t want the layman to see the holy image, so I cover it with a clean curtain.” "Then I'm not an ordinary person, am I?" King Zhou smiled and said, "With my dignity as the Son of Heaven, seeing her face is not an insult to her, is it?" The old prime minister, Shang Rong, pondered for a while, and then said in a low voice, "What the emperor said is true." The ceremonial officials at the side hurriedly came over in person at this time, stood respectfully behind the divine case, and slowly opened the curtain of incorruptibility. All of a sudden, the people in the temple suddenly became short of breath. Because of the sacrifice, no one except King Zhou dared to take a breath, let alone speak.But after the curtain was opened, everyone couldn't help but take a long breath when they saw the scene behind the curtain. Even Sangyangdi, who was hiding on the beam and pillar, opened his eyes wide and took a long breath. The little boy Yanger in his arms poked his head, but gave a soft "huh".Sang Yangdi was startled when he heard his son's voice, thinking that his whereabouts would be revealed. Fortunately, everyone in the temple was attracted by the scene behind Lian's curtain, and no one paid attention to the small sound on the beams and pillars. The statue of Nuwa behind the curtain.In the eyes of everyone.It made people amazed, because the carving of the statue was extremely exquisite, as if it was alive, showing the brilliance of jade, although it knew that it was just a lifeless statue, but it was like a rising sun in the sky, beautiful It's so out of place that people dare not look directly at it. But Sangyangdi and Yang'er were surprised that the features of the god statue were quite similar to the white-clothed woman named Xing whom they had just seen at the gate of the temple!But this is impossible, because the woman in white just now is clearly a living person of flesh and blood, how could she become a statue in an instant? Moreover, Sang Yangdi also subtly felt that although the woman and the statue of Nuwa looked a little cool, their demeanors were completely different.Although the woman in white is beautiful, there is an expression of indifference and wisdom between her eyebrows and eyes, but the statue of the female snail in front of her is extremely gorgeous, her eyes are flowing, like a most affectionate woman, always teasing the restless People—for example, King Zhou, the romantic emperor of the Shang Dynasty. Amid the rising and falling breaths of the crowd, King Zhou seemed to have lost his soul. With his hands outstretched, he staggered towards the divine case, but murmured in his mouth: "What a beauty, what a beauty, there are thousands of beauties in my palace!" , but who can compare to your radiance..." His voice was like a dream, not like an emperor ruling the world, but like a young man who is yearning for spring, "...I...my harem Fendai and you In comparison, pearls and jade are no longer pearls and jade, dung... dung..." Sang Yangdi on the beam saw this unexpected situation, and couldn't help laughing.He was a bright and upright man with a magnanimous heart, and he was far away from the statue, so he was not as distraught as King Zhou and others. Apart from being funny, he also noticed that there seemed to be a trace of anger in the eyebrows of the statue. For a moment, Sang Yangdi only thought that his eyes were blurred, and was about to rub his eyes, but saw that King Zhou had already walked up to the divine table, intending to climb up, and reached out to touch the cheek of the divine statue. Suddenly, there was a hoarse and old shout in the temple. "Son, absolutely not!"
