Chapter 132 The Strange Event of the Dragon King Temple

Xu Ling and the others went to the side where the charcoal was being burned, and watched the old man who guarded the temple evenly sprinkle the red-hot charcoal into the long pit on the ground.This is real charcoal burning red, the heat can be felt even standing on the side, the heat wave hits the face!A barefoot old man next to him has come out of the temple.

This man was as skinny as firewood, his face was as dry as tree bark, and his hands and feet had dark skin.When he got close to Fo Tan, everyone clapped and cheered loudly. Xu Ling was also excited. He had not seen such a wonderful folk show for many years, and it seemed that he had returned to the scene of riding on his father's shoulders and watching the performance when he was a child.

"Okay!" Seeing that the performers have already stepped into the charcoal, wading across evenly and unhurriedly, the crowd burst into bursts of cheers, which is amazing!After all, it is real red charcoal, and the temperature can definitely burn people's skin.Ordinary folk artists walk this fiery carbon sea by walking briskly, using the short contact time between the skin of their feet and charcoal, so as not to hurt themselves.But today completely subverted everyone's thinking, walking like a normal person, isn't he afraid of being hot?

Xu Ling knew the reason through induction.The root cause lies in the soles of the old artist's feet. The skin is as thick as a rock!This artist is the most famous in the county, just because he was the performer Xu Ling watched when he was a child!It is said that his hand can hold fire charcoal for five seconds without being injured at all.After Xu Ling heard what his grandfather said back then, he thought he was a living god. If he wasn't a god, how could he not be afraid of fire?
Now it seems that this old artist's hands are also full of calluses, coupled with talent and exercise, he has developed a unique skill.If you let the fat man go up, it will probably be oily after a while.

The old man walked steadily through the ten-meter-long sea of ​​flames, then waved to everyone, and then Grandpa Xu Ling came out and began to calm everyone down, "I think everyone must really want to know if it is true that Xiao Xu can catch coals without getting hurt?" Yes. It’s a great honor today, Xiao Xu himself proposed to show this unique skill, cheers! Because Xiao Xu will close the mountain after this year, and will not perform any more!” After Grandpa Xu Ling finished speaking, everyone was stunned at first, and then erupted Shocking cheers, this is a respect for old artists, but also a regret that we will never see such traditional classic performances again.May I ask how many places in the country still have performances like going up the mountain of swords and down to the sea of ​​flames?What's more, this old artist is unique in daring to challenge with both hands and feet above board!

When the old man came to the edge of the brazier, he wiped his palms together, took a deep breath, then went deep into the brazier with his right hand and took out a piece of red charcoal. . "Hiss..." The watching crowd took a breath in unison. I really didn't expect that the old man dared to play like this!Five seconds later, the old artist threw down the charcoal, waved to everyone, and disappeared into the Dragon King Temple again.

"Oh, oh!", the crowd automatically gave way, cheering, applauding, and wishing the old artist like a hero who won the battle.

Xu Ling also felt that it was a pity that starting from next year, he would never see the sea of ​​fire again.Even if there is, it is definitely not as good as the performances of old artists.From him, Xu Ling knew what it means to be calm and calm.This old man really explained that "picking chestnuts out of fire" is more than just an idiom!The tightrope walk that follows makes people feel that there is almost something, and it can't arouse everyone's interest.

The last item in the Dragon King Temple was to release Kongming lanterns. Xu Ling also put 100 yuan in the merit box, and took five to join Xu Bing and the others. They were going to go home after releasing them together.Xu Ling saw that An Xin was having a good chat with Xu Bing and the others, and it was a little strange that Yuhu hadn't come to look for her yet.It stands to reason that even if there are too many people, it is impossible to find them after so long, right?The venue is so big, it’s not enough to shout once, but it’s fine to shout a few more times.I used my mental power to sense it, and found him in Xu Ling, a place with dim lights beside the White Horse River.But what he is doing now makes Xu Ling speechless, he is really talking and laughing with a charming young woman with a good figure.

He gave Yu Ying the Kongming Lantern and said he wanted to go there for convenience.Xu Ling walked around to Yu Hu and said to him, "Brother Hu, let's light up the Kongming Lantern!" After saying that, he looked at the young woman and said, "My sister-in-law was almost pushed to the ground just now, and now she is still a little scared. ", After saying this, ignore it and walk back.

Yuhu was embarrassed when he was caught, so he waved to the young woman and chased after Xu Ling.

One person per person, Xu Ling crushed them with charcoal fingers and wrote a few words lightly. After lighting it up, he put his hands under the ground and pushed it up. Although it was still a little wobbly, it was finally Slowly and steadily up and away.Following the wind, drifting farther and farther, with Xu Ling's longing, drifting towards the sky, towards the moon palace!It also took away Xu Ling's prayers for relatives and friends in his heart, hoping that the days to come will be safe and happy for a long time.As for Guotai Minan, Xu Ling knew that his uncle would write this sentence.

After meeting up with their parents, grandparents, and uncle, the group left the Dragon King Temple and rushed home.Returning home is the real reunion, eating moon cakes, drinking coarse tea, chatting about the happy and interesting events of the year, and talking about future life plans, and then calling out parents, ghosts, monsters, and foxes, laughing and talking, and the voice is the same under the moonlight. Spread farther and farther.

And in the Dragon King Temple, after the temple guards closed the door and turned off the lights to sleep, the earth carvings began to absorb the moonlight, and then began to rotate and combine strangely, slowly twisting and deforming from more than 1 characters, and finally turned into a turtle!Then it turned into a golden dragon flying in the air, surrounded by clouds and mist, its head raised its head to the sky and roared, and its four sharp claws seemed to be able to tear apart the void!And below the golden dragon, a black mist rises, vaguely occupying half of the sky, and there seems to be something roaring in the black mist, making the black mist roll endlessly like a tsunami, surging and surging!Then the golden dragon changed back to the shape of a turtle, and the moonlight poured down like a waterfall and was absorbed by it, turning into a huge net covering the sky to suppress the black mist, and it became smaller and smaller.When the black mist was about to disappear, the black mist swelled suddenly, and the gold net was caught off guard and a small opening was opened, allowing a trace of the black mist to escape!Disappeared in the White Horse River.

The golden net seemed to be provoked and irritated, and suddenly the light shined brightly, and the grid was as golden as if it were made of gold. It was suddenly pressed and closed, and the black mist seemed to be struck by lightning. There was a strange "chirp" sound, and disappeared under the ground carving. !The Ao above looked at the Baima River and let out a soft sigh, then looked toward the reservoir with loving eyes. Then he looked at the Baima River again, as if he had figured something out, and smiled like a human being.Then it slowly faded, the lines twisted, and turned into more than 1 mysterious fonts, stained by the vicissitudes of time, continuing to tell ancient legends and describe that glorious period of time unknown to modern people!
Early the next morning, Xu Ling was woken up by the sun scalding his face.She was naked and covered with a thin blanket, and now the blanket is also hot. Looking at the time, it was only 06:30. "This weather is not only terribly hot, but also not raining. It's unreasonable." Xu Ling muttered while dressing and getting up. Fortunately, Xu Bing and the others should be busy, otherwise they would have to come in again.Walking to the balcony, there is a branch of banyan tree opposite, and many small birds are chirping on the tree. Xu Ling also saw orioles, larks, and sparrows in groups who have already caught insects and fed their young birds, busy practicing singing, Crows, turtledoves, great tits, pulsatillas and more.Many of them make their nests on banyan trees.Except for tens of meters beside the golden eagle nest, there are countless bird nests on the branches of banyan trees in other places.For these little birds, the golden eagle is precisely their patron saint.Their wingspans are too large and their bodies are inflexible. It is impossible to catch them on the branches below. It is because of them that small eagles such as eagle rock carvings dare not stay here, and even large tree snakes dare not appear here.

The village is full of people, a busy day has begun, and the roar of the pharmaceutical factory's machines has begun, which is warming up.The sound of cocks crowing, dogs barking and geese in Houshan, coupled with the children's mischief for another day, made the countryside that had been quiet for one night enter the noisy world again.

After dinner, Xu Ling saw that everyone was busy, and he became a person with nothing to do. He wanted to go to the village by the Pohu Lake to see if he could find the rest of the puzzle, but he went outside and let the scorching sun beat him. Sun, no spirit at all.Still comfortable in the shade.Xu Ling simply took a recliner, carried his laptop under a tree and went online.

Lying down for a long time is not the case. After all, there are many tourists now. People who come and go are either asking questions and chatting or taking photos, and some enter Xu Ling's house to visit.Grandma Xu Ling is at home and never locks the door, and this has become a must-see attraction for tourists.

Xu Ling put down his things. On such a hot day, he might as well go for a swim in the reservoir and catch some shrimps to eat. It would be nice to make garlic prawns.There is a lot of space, but swimming in the reservoir and cooling off is the right thing to do.
