Chapter 173: The Abode of My Body Share Comments
The Divine Dragon Cult's arrival in Weicheng brought not just people, but also totems.
Although the temple being built was not yet completed and only had a rough frame, daily worship was still a must, otherwise, the Vast Sea Chiwen Dragon Crown Prince would be unhappy.
People didn't wonder why this Dragon Crown Prince was so prone to mood swings; instead, they felt that this was how a deity should behave.
Therefore, when Li Yunxin and Old Daoist Liu arrived at the small, relatively quiet courtyard next to the construction site, many people looked at him with complex expressions.
It was the kind of look a group of neighbors who had lived together for more than a decade would give to a peddler from out of town.
This small courtyard used to belong to a widower. On the night of the fight between Lingkongzi and Young Master Nine, it was on the other side of the street and slightly farther away, so it was not affected. But while the house was fine, the man was not. The sixty-year-old man couldn't handle the shock and fainted that night. By the time people found him, his body had already rotted. So no one lived in the house anymore.
However, people believed that deities could cleanse and purify, and people from outside Weicheng were not as particular as the city folk. So they were overjoyed to welcome the "Dragon Crown Prince's golden statue" and the five guardian deities' clay statues that the carpenter had dug out from under his own loquat tree that night, and they settled them in the courtyard.
Now there were always four people guarding the door because the statue was indeed made of gold.
From time to time, people from nearby would come to worship. Being away from home—although in Li Yunxin's eyes, traveling from near White Heron Island to Weicheng was just a long outing—for the people of that time, it was still being away from home. They would always be unhappy, always be worried, and always need some spiritual support.
