Chapter 141: The Appearance of the Sea God
The four children shook their heads when they heard this.
"It's not that no one goes there, there are many."
Song Guanqin retorted.
"The statue of Poseidon has been moved. Who can we worship now?"
Qingshan asked curiously, because his children didn't study hard in school and just acted wild all day long.
Unexpectedly, he ran to the Temple of Poseidon in the suburbs without their knowledge.
"Of course it's Sister Poseidon. We've really met her."
……
"Lin Qin made a wish some time ago, and it came true."
Song Guanqin and Song Guanqi looked at each other.
Lin Qin was the youngest son of the owner of Lin’s cloth shop, and went to the same school as them.
Unlike them, Lin Qin has an arrogant and domineering personality, which most teachers dislike.
Lin Qin often argued with his teacher in class, and once even made his teacher faint from anger.
One day in school, the teacher had not yet come to class.
Then Lin Qin swore in the school that the teacher would not come to class.
Naturally, no one believed it. After all, the gentleman was a very punctual person and had never been late.
The result was naturally as Lin Qin said.
As expected, the gentleman did not come and was sick for several days.
Everyone thought it was a coincidence, but Lin Qin was right twice in a row.
Only then did I know that in order to avoid going to school, Lin Qin went to the Poseidon Temple in the suburbs to worship the Poseidon.
As soon as the news came out, many people in the school went to worship the sea god.
All of it came true.
The four brothers of music, chess, calligraphy and painting were naturally also interested and ran to the suburbs happily.
Only when I got there did I realize that not everyone can visit the Temple of Poseidon nowadays.
Just to get in, each person needs two taels of silver.
This is just for getting in. You have to pay extra money to see the Goddess of the Sea and make a wish.
The Song family firm was rich, but they never spoiled their children.
The children in the family have no worries about food and clothing, and never worry about money.
Naturally, there is no money to enter.
Lin Qin kept harping on this and laughed at them harshly.
He also claimed that he had made a wish to the Goddess of the Sea that when he grew up, the Lin Cloth Shop would be opened in Chang'an, Luoyang and other places.
They want to trample the Song family business under their feet.
This is also why Song Guanqin said those words tonight.
"If Lin Qin's cloth shop can be opened in Chang'an, our company will definitely be able to expand its business to the Western Regions."
The child rubbed his nose and tilted his head back, looking very angry.
"That's a good ambition, but what does this have to do with worshipping me?"
Xu Yiyi asked.
"Because you are the God of the Sea! We couldn't get into the Temple of the Sea God, so we squatted outside the temple for several days. We originally planned to sneak in quietly at night when no one was around, but we waited for a long time and no one at the door left.
Just as I was about to leave, you came out, and then the two people at the door followed suit."
It is for this reason that the four brothers of Qin, Qi, Shu and Hua believe that Xu Yiyi is the sea god.
"Are you going to the Temple of Poseidon?"
Jiuya tugged at Xu Yiyi's clothes and asked curiously.
"I didn't even know there was a Poseidon Temple in the suburbs, so how could I go there?"
Xu Yiyi looked a little solemn.
"Maybe these guys saw it wrongly. Wasn't it dark at that time?"
Qingshan guessed.
"Impossible! We saw clearly that even though it was dark, there were lights burning inside the temple. When the Sea Goddess came out, she looked just like Sister Yiyi. And you still say Sister Yiyi isn't the Sea Goddess?"
During the day, no one except the fourth brother Song Guanhua talked about anything without hiding anything.
The other three didn't reveal a single word.
The child thought that Sister Poseidon didn't want others to know her whereabouts.
Xu Yiyi seemed to be lost in thought. "Could it be that someone is pretending to be me and trying to scam people? I haven't even heard that the Temple of the Sea God costs money to enter."
Not only is it free, there is also a temple fair at the Poseidon Temple every year. During the fair, porridge stalls are set up around the temple to provide food for poor people and homeless people.
The temple regularly provides clothing, medicine and other supplies with money from incense offerings or donations from believers.
Why doesn't Xu Yiyi believe that a temple like this charges admission?
"But I don't know many people in the capital. Who would be so blind as to pretend to be me?"
When Qingshan heard this, he was shocked.
Anyone who uses the name of the Sea Goddess to do evil must be thrown into prison.
"Uncle Qingshan, I'll go with you and take a look. If anyone is really using the name of the Sea Goddess to make ill-gotten gains, we'll report it to the authorities."
Xu Yiyi returned to the house and changed back into her neat dress.
Jiuya thought it was getting dark and wanted the two of them to go during the day.
"The Sea Goddess is not here during the day. You can only see her at night."
Song Guanqin spoke quickly, saying that they had gone there secretly while their father was on the ship and their mother was busy at the business.
"Don't worry, Auntie. Let's go and take a look. If they are really thieves, they won't do anything. We will ask the authorities to deal with them."
Xu Yiyi will return to Ping'an Town early tomorrow morning.
Fang Zhiyi's medicine cannot be delayed.
I can only go out at night to find out.
Qingshan was also angry. The Sea Goddess was a deity, and she would not allow such villains to defile her.
The two of them left the house and headed straight for the horse market.
"Old He, please pick out a good and docile horse for Madam Xu."
After saying that, Qingshan walked in and led out a big black horse.
Xu Yiyi fed the fruit in her hand to the maroon pony that Lao He led out, and then the two of them rode out of the city together.
Fortunately, in modern times, her father was so considerate that he enrolled her in equestrian lessons for a few months.
If nothing else, at least he dared to ride out.
When they reached the outskirts of the sea temple, they dismounted and walked over.
"It's been a long time since it's been this lively. A deserted Poseidon Temple is actually brightly lit at night, with people occasionally going in. It's really rare."
Qingshan couldn't help but sigh.
"Uncle Qingshan, do you have money?"
Xu Yiyi asked, and Qingshan shook his head.
"Aren't we just here to take a look?"
Qingshan was planning to turn around and report to the police.
"Since we're here to take a look, we have to go in. If you don't have any, I will. Let's go."
Xu Yiyi said this and walked towards the Temple of Poseidon.
Qingshan took a look and had no choice but to follow.
After handing over the silver, the two followed the instructions and went in.
Besides the two of them, there were actually several other people waiting outside.
While I was thinking, the door opened.
A woman came out from inside, smiling brightly.
He kept repeating words of thanks to the Sea Goddess.
"Do you think this is true or false?"
Qingshan looked at them curiously, and was very satisfied when two people came out one after another.
"Of course it's fake. Even if the Sea Goddess appeared, she wouldn't choose an ordinary fisherwoman like me to possess her. Besides, I don't even know about it. I'm afraid someone has seen me and is pretending to be me to play tricks."
Xu Yiyi spoke in a breathy voice with a mask on her face.
It adds a bit of mystery.
"When I first took a look, there were no less than five people guarding the temple."
Qingshan was shocked when he heard that.
"Then let's go and report to the police."
……
"No rush, I asked Auntie to report it to the police before I left."
