Chapter 1073 - 675: Empress Huangtu
Chapter 1073 - 675: Empress Huangtu
Langao City is not large; it’s just a small county town, but the population is quite significant.The city is shaded with green trees, and tourists can be seen everywhere. The sound of cicadas fills the scorching summer days, occasionally a bit noisy.
Du Yu sat in the passenger seat, observing this unfamiliar city, and only two words came to mind: clean!
Langao City is indeed a tourist city, with people from all over Great Xia coming here with admiration. The reason is the Demon Spirit Realm·Huangtu Temple located in the east suburb of the city.
The quality of the tourists is inevitably varied, yet this tourist city is unbelievably clean.
Langao City has indeed put a lot of effort into managing the city’s appearance.
"So clean." In the back seat, Li Mengnan whispered as she looked out the window.
Lin Shiwei, while driving, replied, "Langao City imposes severe penalties on some uncivilized behaviors, but that’s just one reason."
Li Mengnan: "What else?"
Lin Shiwei said softly, "As a fifth-level Demon Spirit Realm, Huangtu Temple only admits Demon Tamers of Demon Taming General level and above.
Only a few are qualified to train here.
Anyone who comes here, whether an ordinary person or a Demon Tamer, all come for Huangtu Temple."
Li Mengnan curiously asked, "So?"
Lin Shiwei laughed, "Most of these people either have faith or something they seek. Let me ask you, what god is enshrined in Huangtu Temple?"
Li Mengnan: "Empress Huangtu... Oh, I get it. The Lady is the embodiment of the earth."
Since the vast majority come for Empress Huangtu, they will naturally be conscious of their behavior.
The reverence for the earth can be understood from many angles.
And ensuring the earth is clean and tidy, not littering or spitting, is something everyone can understand.
Du Yu said, "You know quite a bit, huh?"
"Read some materials after returning." Lin Shiwei casually replied as she steered, "Asked some elders who had cultivated here in the family."
Upon hearing this, Du Yu couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
"Oh my?" Li Mengnan chuckled, "Third sister is really thoughtful."
Clearly, ever since Du Yu mentioned "Langao" inside the Bottomless Abyss, Lin Shiwei had remembered it.
Back then, Du Yu merely mentioned that Elder Langao had agreed to help if he had any questions.
This meant that one day, Du Yu might come to Langao City.
No matter how likely that possibility was, Lin Shiwei had prepared privately, getting ready in advance.
Lin Shiwei said confidently, "As a Demon Tamer, knowing more about special Demon Spirit Realm cultures does no harm."
The girl spoke lightly, but Du Yu self-deprecatingly chuckled.
This was clearly his own business, yet as Li Mengnan said, Lin Shiwei was more diligent.
Lin Shiwei inquired, "What identity shall we enter with? The routes and areas for Demon Tamers and ordinary tourists differ."
Li Mengnan quickly replied, "Since we’re here once, let’s follow the ordinary tourists first and visit the Lady’s temple, eh?
With so many people coming here with admiration, it must be very spiritual. I might as well go worship the god!"
Lin Shiwei glanced at the rearview mirror, "Aren’t you a god yourself?"
"Haha~ Exactly!" Du Yu burst into laughter, "Mengnan can show off her three-sided Golden Body to crash the venue and snatch incense offerings."
"Pfft pfft pfft!" Li Mengnan reached forward, her soft, fair hand lightly patting Du Yu’s mouth, "Unfiltered words, let the wind blow them away, let the wind blow them away!"
Du Yu: "..."
Li Mengnan leaned forward, staring at Du Yu’s profile, "You must not speak carelessly inside; my parents’ matter depends on the Lady!"
Du Yu nodded repeatedly, and only then did the girl release her hand.
After some thought, Lin Shiwei guessed what Li Mengnan might wish for.
She too was curious, could such a wish really come true?
If the wish were for this year’s harvest or a good yield of Demon Fruit, it might seem more fitting?
As the vehicle traveled, they soon arrived at the East Suburb.
Before reaching the Huangtu Temple area, Du Yu was already stunned!
Huangtu Temple is not a lone temple but a vast complex.
The temple walls reach meters high, entirely made of earth, with buildings of various sizes and heights. Generally speaking, the complex is higher in the center and lower in the four directions.
If one wishes to enter the main hall for worship, the journey feels very much like "Step by Step to Heaven."
With excellent vision, Du Yu naturally saw the highest main hall, seemingly situated at the horizon.
Grand and magnificent!
But as the earth deity, shouldn’t the position of Empress Huangtu be lower and more grounded?
With curiosity and doubt, Du Yu and the others finally found a parking spot and headed toward the complex.
Outside Huangtu Temple, the place was bustling with people.
In front of the Demon Tamers’ ticket window, only a few people were queuing.
The ordinary tourists’ ticket windows had five open, with each line extremely long, crowded with people.
No matter if they are sincerely worshipping the god or seeking their desires,
such a bustling scene provided Du Yu with a clear message: spiritual!
"What’s the plan?" Du Yu lowered his cap brim, looking at the two clearly different queues.
Li Mengnan was a bit troubled, "Why don’t we buy Demon Tamers’ tickets and go inside first?"
Lin Shiwei: "Different routes don’t intersect, the rules here are very strict."
A respectable fifth-level Demon Spirit Realm and concerning the lives of thousands of ordinary tourists, how could the rules here not be stringent?
