Chapter 171 Shaman Temple

On the third day, Xiao Fang told Wuyue that he could not send him away because the sphere of influence of the Liaodong Jurchens was already in front of him.

After saying goodbye and taking care of each other, Xiao Fang turned around reluctantly and walked slowly. He had been with Wuyue and Qing'er these days, in addition to feeling the warmth from his compatriots, he also received a kind of respect. Slaves are not respected here.

Wuyue and Qing'er drove the ox cart and continued to move forward. Then he discovered a seemingly simple but very difficult problem. The old cow was very stubborn and competed with Qing'er. He didn't buy his account at all. He and Qing'er had no experience in driving. Not only could they drive the old cow to pull the cart to the northeast, but Xiao Fang didn't go far away. Lao Niu turned around and followed him. No matter how Wuyue whipped and scolded him, it was useless. This stubborn cow seemed to be very familiar with Xiao Fang and had a very shallow relationship.

He couldn't move forward even though he was away from the ox cart, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly at Xiao Fang: Brother Fang, what should I do?

Xiao Fang tried several times and wanted to sneak away while the old cow was not paying attention. None of them succeeded. In desperation, he had to drive the ox cart to the edge of a forest and wrapped the cow's head tightly with animal skin. He tiptoed through the forest and slipped away.

A quarter of an hour later, Qing'er walked eastward with the bull's nose before unbuttoning the cloth on the bull's head.

The old cow turned his head and looked around. He disappeared from his master. He was so anxious that he mooed and refused to listen to the command of the lover. But he ran around in circles around, as if he wanted to pursue his master, but Wuyue's feet were so painful!

After more than a moment, the old cow was a little tired from running, but still couldn't find Xiao Fang. He stopped dejectedly and seemed very sad when he was still in place. His big cow's eyes were a little red, swollen and wet.

Wuyue was so amused and crying. Look at Qing'er and then look at Lao Niu. Summary: Have you noticed that whenever you glared at me, you almost caught up with these bull eyes.

She indeed glared: You are still intent on ridicule others at this moment. It is the most urgent thing to let the old cow walk!

Wuyue carefully compared it and confirmed that she was not much small. No wonder she and Lao Niu had a comparable stubborn personality.

It is a good thing for the old cow to stop running around, but it is very difficult to get it to walk again. In the sadness, it seems to have broken a can and throw it away, allowing Wuyue to whip it and Qing'er to pull it hard, it is too lazy to move another step.

After a long time of competition between the man and the cow, the discomfort of losing their master passed, and the old cow's daily labor instinct gradually gained the upper hand, so he was willing to pull the broken car and continue walking to the northeast.

It is certainly a good thing that it is willing to leave, but it is all about its happiness when it goes fast or slow or wherever it goes. Wuyue and Qing'er can only ensure that the general direction is not biased. It is really awkward to walk the diagonal line all the way around.

The trouble is not over here. The old cow doesn't play according to the common sense, and he doesn't walk on the road, and insists on going to a deserted place with overgrown weeds, making it difficult to tell the path without the moon. Especially after the sun sets, the stars and moon have not yet come out, and he turns around for a while. He can't even figure out the general direction, so he has to stop the ox cart and dare not walk again.

The night wind gradually rose, Qing'er curled up in his arms, trembling with cold, and he couldn't help but tremble, so he asked Qing'er to get out of the car and light a bonfire to sleep in the open.

The light gradually dimmed, and the old cow suddenly mooed uneasyly, looking around vigilantly, stomping around the four hooves on the ground, sniffing anxiously

He looked at the vast field of darkness and a warning came to his heart. Look at the old cow's behavior, are there beasts lurking nearby?

With a long shrill howl of wolf, wolves gradually gathered around them. With the afterglow of the sky, a wolf walked leisurely from more than ten feet away, seemingly lazily, but in fact, he was carefully observing his prey, calculating whether it could attack, and how to attack it?

These timberwolves are bigger and more ferocious than the grassland wolf he had seen in the Hungry Wolf Valley. They all have black-backed bear bodies, and their eyes emit a faint green light. They look up from time to time to glance at him.

Qing'er, who was collecting dry firewood, was so scared that she rushed into the ox cart, hugged in his arms and did not dare to move. She had seen the terrible wolves in the Hungry Wolf Valley and often caused her to have nightmares!

Surrounded by wolves in the wilderness of the night, undoubtedly waiting for death. Wuyue had to drive the old cow away and run wildly. The wolves followed slowly. After running out of several arrows, the wolves gradually approached the ox cart and began to attack!

He pulled out his scimitar and focused his vigilance, held the love in his left hand, ready to kill the evil wolf who dared to jump onto the ox cart at any time

But the wolves did not attack him and Qing'er, but focused on dealing with the old cow. From time to time, the evil wolf pounced on it and bit its belly

He knew that if the old cow fell down, even if the wolf pack was full, he would no longer attack him and Qing'er, but his legs were inconvenient, how could he rush forward?

With Qing'er's support, he rode the cow's back with great effort, waved his scimitar and chopped the cow from attacking the wolf pack. After the back of the buttocks were bitten a few times, the cow ran hard and started a chase of humans and wolves in the wilderness.

Because You Wuyue's sharp blade was cut over several wolves, the wolves did not dare to force them too much for a while, and chased them all the way, as if they wanted to compete with him for endurance

I don't know how far I ran, and came to the edge of a vast forest. The old cow was so tired that he was breathing heavily. He was anxious when he suddenly heard the love behind him shouting in surprise: Young Master, look, there is a temple over there! After saying that, he pointed to the right

He looked up and saw that under the miserable night, a corner of the eaves was indeed poked between the branches of the forest. He was very excited and drove the cattle to the side. Perhaps the old cattle also knew the principle of working together in times of distress, or perhaps thanked Wuyue for protecting it. This time he became very obedient, and he ran for free for a while, and the outline of a temple gradually appeared in front of him.

In front of the temple gate, he landed on the ground with one foot, swung his knife to deal with the evil wolf that was pounced on from time to time. He worked with Qing'er to remove the shaft, held the cow's head with his hand and asked Qing'er to lead it into the temple. She hurriedly turned around and closed the door and bolted the door. The two of them sat down on the ground with two puffs, panting, and letting the wolf pack howl outside.

Wuyue looked around. The temple faced north and south, tall and majestic. He and Qing'er were in a south-facing courtyard, covering an area of ​​about ten acres. The surrounding area was separated by a rammed earth wall of more than one meter high. The undulating coniferous forests were separated from the temple. Due to the long-term no one was taken care of, I don't know whether it was because the birds spread seeds or the woods penetrated from the underground through the spread of the roots. The yard was also spreading sparse needle pine trees, with ice and snow hanging between the branches and leaves, which were integrated with the white snow.

After his strength gradually recovered, Qing'er helped him climb more than ten steps, pushed open two mottled and rotten wooden doors with a creak, and entered the temple hall. Let Lao Niu dig out the thick snow by the courtyard wall and ate the sparse weeds.

The night was getting darker, and the love lit a dead branch as a torch. The spacious hall under the fire still looked gloomy. In the huge shrine facing the gate, a tall and majestic bronze statue stood with its head held high, with a pair of deer antlers on its head, between the two horns, one head facing forward, and an eagle spreading its wings to fly. The chest of the statue was inlaid with a sun-shaped divine mirror, and there was a cuckoo on each shoulder. It looked like it was a male and female. It was holding a giant axe in the right hand and a long bow in the other hand. It seemed to be hunting. It was full of eyes wide open and its mouth was wide open, as if it was about to roar with a strong aura!

There is a huge incense burning incense to worship before the shrine. Look at the incense ash inside. It should be that no believer has come to worship for many years.

Qing'er held his body and trembled, leaned into his arms and said: The appearance of this statue of god is so scary! Why is it different from the statue of god I usually see in a dilapidated temple?

After following his wife for a long time, the mansion carries a high shaman priest from the headquarters. He has some understanding of the shaman gods she believes in. He explains to her: This is the temple worshipped by the Jurchens of the shaman gods, which is naturally very different from the Taoist temples and Buddhist temples in the Central Plains. It emphasizes the mutual communication between heaven, earth and man through the soul. This is the sun god with a high status among the shamans, and naturally looks like a rainbow

He looked to the left, a small shrine enshrined a stone statue with a mysterious smile. It has a large head, a clear face, and can see its eyebrows and eyes. It is sitting cross-brow in the shrine, as if taking a deep breath, with a qi-like expression, wearing a jade horseshoe-shaped jade hoop on its head, and a pair of white jade pig dragons on its chest.

The shrine of the same size on the right is a goddess with a naked upper body, with a plump and round body, and nine huge breasts were born on her chest. Seeing that Qing'er's eyes were full of confusion, he explained: This should be the nine-breasted mother of the Earth Mother God among the shamans. She symbolizes the vast and fertile earth and the chastity of a woman, and the nine breasts symbolize the nourishment of the earth to mankind.

Qing'er asked strangely: Can a woman's breasts grow so big? Why don't I have it?

Although the situation is bad, Wuyue is still amused by her childish words: How old are you, you have not started to develop yet! Haha~ Besides, adult women cannot grow like her. In order to express their respect for Mother Earth, the Jurchens deliberately exaggerated the goddess statue. Do you understand?

Qing'er nodded in a vague way and asked again: How do you know what the breasts of an adult woman look like? Have you seen them?

Wuyue suffocated, smiled awkwardly, patted her little head and said: Uh~ I have seen it occasionally... Hi~ Why are your child asking this? It's true!

With Qing'er's support, the two walked around the spacious hall, and were already panting. They saw a small door on the right side of the sun statue, which probably led to the back hall. So they said: Let's go to the back to rest, so as not to be disturbed by the wolf howling.

Before entering the door, Qing'er looked at the smiling goddess statue and asked: Young Master, what kind of great god is this goddess?

Wuyue shook her head and said: I don’t know, I haven’t heard from the shaman high priest in the mansion mention it, it’s strange
