Chapter 23 Please White Snake
Just when the folding fan was about to lose its hold, Yan Wei, who went to report, finally came back on lotus steps.
I didn't see the White Snake Fairy.
Li Wenzhi's heart suddenly lifted.
Sure enough, the little girl walked up to Li Wenzhi and mustered up the courage to say: "Master White Snake Immortal doesn't want to see the prince, and asked the prince not to come."
"Your Highness, I don't think there is any White Snake Immortal at all. It's just that the people in this temple are pretending to be gods. Let me go and catch it to see what kind of monster it is." The prince's guard captain had long been looked at by the people around him.
He was furious, and when he heard that the other party had not seen the prince, he drew out his steel knife and tried to break in.
"Don't be rude!" Li Wenzhi quickly stopped him.
But the people around him had heard the captain's words clearly, and now they all looked at him in danger. Some even started to use the things around them that could be used as weapons.
Whoever dares to touch the White Snake Immortal will be killed!
"Sorry to bother you, since White Snake Immortal is inconvenient today, I will come back another day."
After that, Li Wenzhi hurriedly left the White Snake Temple with his men.
If I walk any slower, I really won't be able to walk anymore.
White Snake, who was hiding behind the temple and observing secretly, shook his head and didn't take it to heart, and continued back to the experimental site.
But things are not that simple.
In the early morning of the second day, before the sky was completely clear, a bicycle frame had already arrived at the steps of the White Snake Temple.
As soon as the carriage stopped, the prince jumped out of the carriage.
Different from yesterday, today the prince was wearing a low-key gray gown and was only accompanied by two long followers. None of the prince's guards from yesterday came with him, obviously because they were afraid that his subordinates would cause trouble again.
All the way up the steps, the temple door was still closed, but many people had gathered at the door.
Seeing Li Wenzhi arrive, everyone they knew looked sideways. Those who didn't know him quickly found out the whole story from their companions, and they all stared at him.
There are such shameless people.
Li Wenzhi opened the folding fan and did not use any of the prince's privileges to jump in line. He was just at the end of the queue.
When the time comes, the temple door opens.
A pair of golden boys and girls slowly opened the door, and the believers quickly divided into three rows and began to enter and worship in an orderly manner.
Not long after, a young couple praying on the left left with satisfaction. They came to ask for a child.
On the right, a refugee who had just arrived in Xinglong Township rushed out of the road holding a large bag of food. He was afraid that someone would snatch the food he asked for, and everyone laughed at him.
In the middle, an old believer brought in new believers...
Li Wenzhi was amazed when he saw it.
The White Snake Immortal had shocked him too much along the way, and now he wanted to see what the White Snake Immortal looked like more and more.
He also became more determined to worship the White Snake Immortal as a holy beast.
A temple in a township can influence a county. If it is worshiped as a sacred beast, it will definitely solve the disaster in Kan country.
Half an hour later, Li Wenzhi walked into the hall, and he was still greeted by Yan Wei.
"Your Highness, the White Snake Immortal doesn't want to see you, and has asked you not to come again."
Li Wenzhi didn't argue, saluted Yan Wei and turned around to leave.
On the third day, before dawn, the Prince's carriage arrived again, and this time Li Wenzhi stood in the first position.
"……not see."
The fourth day, the fifth day, the sixth day...
The people inside and outside the temple have gone from hostility at the beginning to sympathy now.
The majestic prince of the country would stay in front of the temple before dawn every day. Except for the first day, he would be the first to arrive at all other times, just to meet the White Snake Fairy. It can be seen how firm his faith is.
The purpose of the prince's trip was also spread through his father-in-law, and the hostility of the believers was naturally eliminated.
tenth day
It was still dark, and when Li Wenzhi arrived in front of the temple gate, before it was time to open the temple gate, the temple door creaked open a small crack.
Li Wenzhi was excited, but he didn't show it on his face.
Not long after, a small head poked out from the crack in the door. Yan Yang saw that Li Wenzhi was still puckering his lips and said reluctantly: "My lord, let you in."
Compared with his sister Yan Wei, Yan Yang's attitude is much worse.
The sudden hostility left Li Wenzhi a little confused. He didn't seem to have offended the child in front of him, but this happened a lot during this time. He just followed Sui Yanyang into the temple gate without saying anything.
Pass by the main hall and enter the back room.
Many of the children who were taken in here looked curiously at His Highness the Crown Prince who was visiting the temple gates. They were curious, hostile, and even more filled with hatred... they had all kinds of emotions, except for the lack of goodwill.
Looking at the children's eyes, Li Wenzhi's heart trembled slightly. These are the future of the country. He, Li Wenzhi's future subjects, now regard him as his enemy.
The king has no virtue, natural disasters are merciless, and the people are in dire straits. All these are attributed to the stupid king.
The ones with the most serious negative emotions are undoubtedly the orphans taken in by the White Snake Temple.
All the relatives of these children died due to drought.
Li Wenzhi didn't know how he walked through the backyard of just a few meters. When he came to his senses, he was already standing by a vegetable garden.
He raised his head and saw a giant milky-white snake looking down at him, a pair of golden vertical pupils flashing with agility that only humans can have.
Li Wenzhi never dreamed that the White Snake Fairy everyone was talking about was actually a white snake.
He always thought that the statues enshrined in the temple were just people's longing for the White Snake Immortal, and so were the names.
However, Li Wenzhi is also a prince after all. He has seen the big world. He was only briefly surprised and recovered, but he was slightly at a loss. How should he communicate with snakes?
White Snake took out a special pen and paper from the meson bag and wrote: I visited the thatched cottage ten times and never gave up, but now I have met but didn't speak?
Li Wenzhi's eyes widened. A snake could actually write! It was something he had never heard of or seen before, and it became clear when he thought of the name of the White Snake Fairy.
"Li Wenzhi, the crown prince of Xiakan Kingdom, has been disturbed a lot recently. I really have no choice but to take this step. Please ask the White Snake Fairy to atone for my sins."
Li Wenzhi bowed his body and his posture was extremely low.
Having witnessed the hardships of the people along the way, Li Wenzhi now put aside moving the Imperial Guards.
Saving the common people became Li Wenzhi's primary goal. Even his original plan to find the border army's old General Chen was left to a close confidant to complete.
And he himself stayed outside the temple for eleven full days.
White Snake vomited the letter and felt a little better. He picked up his pen and wrote: Tell me, what do you want from me?
When the main show came, Li Wenzhi hesitated for a few breaths and then vomited out all the words he had already thought about: "There is a severe drought in the country of Kan. There has been no rain for several years. The people are in dire straits, and nine out of ten houses are empty.
In addition, the king was bewitched by evil magicians and indulged in elixirs all day long. As a result, his body was declining and he was unable to attend to state affairs, and the people were in dire straits.
I heard that there is a white snake in Xinglong Township. If you offer it, it will bring rain and if you offer it, you will receive food. It is an auspicious beast. I specially set up the position of the sacred beast to protect the country and hope that the White Snake Fairy will protect our Dakan country."
White Snake has no interest in the affairs of the court, and does not want to get involved in the affairs of the royal family. He wrote: I am an idler in the mountains and have a habit of being undisciplined. I don’t want to be a sacred beast that protects the country, nor do I want to get involved in your royal affairs.
Li Wenzhi gritted his teeth and continued: "White Snake Immortal does not need to participate in the affairs of the Imperial Master and the Crown Prince. You only need to be a good holy beast and end the drought. As for the reward, White Snake Immortal will definitely be satisfied."
It was Li Wenzhi's initial plan to include the Holy Beast in his lineup to fight against Sima Jin, but now Li Wenzhi can't care so much anymore.
Even if White Snake is not on his side, he will still welcome White Snake into the capital.
