Chapter 3824: : Legend of the River Temple

People born and raised here, even people passing by here, must drink Red River water, and since the Red River water is non-toxic, why does it cause the people here to have an extra finger?
"Do you think this finger has any effect on you?" Ye Chen asked.
"Doctor Ye, this extra finger has no effect on me," the young patient said.
No effect?
Because many villagers in Honghe Town are like this, they have long been accustomed to having an extra finger.
However, Ye Chen always felt strange.
It was almost lunch time, and there were not many patients.
And Ye Chen didn't charge them much for the doctor's consultation. They gave as much as they gave. Even so, Aya and Ale also received a large bag of copper coins.
Originally, I had a rest at this inn for one night. After breakfast, Ye Chen was going to continue on the road. However, now that these patients were delayed, Ye Chen could only stay and leave tomorrow.
Before he left, Ye Chen wanted to know why these patients had an extra finger?
Because in the secular world, although occasionally there is an extra finger, this is a kind of deformity, and in Honghe Town, it exists as normal.
Ye Chen and Aya, two daughters, and Mr. Kui left the inn, going to see the red river.
"Uncle, the red river is there."
The Red River is not big, about a few meters wide, but what Ye Chen didn't expect is that this Red River is really red, especially under the sunshine in the afternoon, it looks even redder.
However, when he got there, Ye Chen didn't smell any peculiar smell, not even the fishy smell.
If that were the case, this red river would be strange.
If you are outside the secular world, you can find someone to check whether the chemical substances contained in this river exceed the standard and whether it is poisonous, but Ye Chen doesn't understand this now.
And from what he knew about those patients, except for those people who drank the Red River water for a long time and caused multiple fingers, in fact, those people here have a long life.
It is normal to live eighty or ninety years old, and there are many more than one hundred years old.
If that were the case, Ye Chen felt that certain minerals in this river might exceed the standard, causing these people to drink for a long time, which would cause an extra finger.
Ye Chen stood there and found that some people were fishing in the river by boat.
This shows that there are fish and animals in this river.
"Uncle, I heard that there is a river temple here, which is very spiritual."
The river temple?
"What river temple?"
There are also river temples in the outside world, and Ye Chen has also seen them. This is just a folk belief, a belief in rivers.
"I heard that they worshipped the Red River. Those people felt that drinking the water of the Red River caused them to have an extra finger, and felt that the river was amazing."
"That's the reason?"
"It should be."
If that's the case, Ye Chen would like to see it.
Regarding the existence of ghosts and gods, Ye Chen's attitude is that he can believe it or not. However, if you don't believe it, it's better to stay away instead of provoking the other person.
This is what Confucius said, staying away.
When Ye Chen and the others came to the river temple in a horse-drawn carriage, they found that there were people actually worshiping the river temple.
Ye Chen and Aya Ale got out of the car and headed for the River Temple.
The Heshen Temple is right by the river, and there is a large tree beside it. It may take a dozen people to surround the tree trunk and hug it.
And the canopy of this tree is like a very big umbrella, under the canopy is the river temple.
The incense here is so strong that Ye Chen could smell it from a distance.
Ye Chen took Aya Ale over and asked Mr. Kui and the others to wait outside the door, fearing that they would frighten those people by following along.
When he got inside, Ye Chen found that there were really a lot of believers in men and women, and there were everything for marriage, sons, and wealth.
And there was a of river inside, who looked not angry and mighty.
When Ye Chen and Aya Ale came in, a host from the temple came out.
This host is an old man in his sixties, who still looks very energetic.
"Doctor Ye."
"How do you know me?"
Ye Chen was surprised that all the monks in the temple knew him.
"The doctor Ye has treated so many patients, and his medical skills are so powerful, your reputation has long been spread, but I didn't expect that the doctor Ye will be here too. I don't know what the doctor Ye wants?"
"Senior monk, I am not here to beg for anything. I just want to know why the villagers in Honghe Town have an extra finger. Although this extra finger does not seem to have much influence on those people, in fact It will still affect their appearance."
Why is there an extra finger?
"Mr. Ye, there is a legend about this."
legend?
Most of the legends may be fake or exaggerated, but some may exist.
"I want to hear the high monk talk about it and see if I can keep these villagers from having that extra finger."
Ye Chen and Aya followed the old monk to his room. The old monk and Ye Chen talked about the situation in Honghe Town.
"A long time ago, Honghe Town was not called Honghe Town, but once, there was a very serious killing incident in this town, which caused all the river to turn blood red overnight, that is, at the beginning, this The color of a river is this color."
A very serious killing?
What is this again?
"Senior monk, I don't know what the killing was?"
"It is said that several big mountain villages near Honghe town killed each other. Tens of thousands or even more people died overnight, and all the blood flowed to a river here. After that, there was a respected man in the river. Bian swears a poisonous oath that if this kind of mutual vendetta killing occurs again in Honghe Town, then the whole family will not die. If someone still wants to fight, then cut off one of their fingers, which means that they have been killed. At the beginning, I don’t know why, the villagers near the town of Honghe all grew one more finger. If these villagers had a fight, or even what happened, one finger was chopped off and restored to ten. It's normal, but if there are only nine fingers, then this person is disabled and not a good person."
Ye Chen became more surprised as he listened. He didn't expect that there would be such a legend.
"Then I don't know who the respected person swears by?"
"That's the of this river temple."
God of the river temple?
Is it the idol that you just came in to see?
"He was already an ancient martial artist who had practiced very well before he was alive, but he finally gave up this ancient martial art strength and abolished his meridians.
