Chapter 17 Banyan God
"Hurry!"
Chen Haoran rode his bike hard across the bridge across Panlong River. This bridge was 1,345 meters long. Before the city was established, this bridge was a pontoon bridge, a pontoon bridge connected by a small landing craft. At that time, he was still young, so he was very happy to cross the bridge because it was shaking and the waves came from time to time, which felt very exciting.
After crossing the bridge, it is the old city, the real old city.
Because this is the city center of Chacheng before the city was established, after the city was established, its status here naturally declined by one level.
However, it is also a very prosperous section of roads, especially the shopping mall pedestrian street near Qiaotou, which is the most crowded, the most expensive, and the most complete goods. It was not until ten years later that it was replaced by the new commercial area in the east, which is still wilderness.
Follow the main road and after riding about one kilometer, I arrived at the famous street garden in Chacheng.
Chen Haoran set up his bicycle and walked straight to the center of the garden with familiar roads. When he saw the banyan tree standing in the center of the garden from afar, he could not help but sigh with emotion. This is the banyan god in Chacheng.
The roots of this big banyan tree cover an area of hundreds of square meters, and many thick old roots have risen from the ground. The diameter of the main trunk reaches more than one meter, the height is almost twenty meters, and the crown coverage is almost three to four hundred square meters.
The age of this banyan tree is said to be over 5,000 years old. I don’t know whether it is true or not. Anyway, the sign on the side is written like this. It is said that the Garden Management Office was planning to fence the banyan tree with a fence, but it was demolished on the same day. After several times, the Garden Management Office had no idea.
It’s not that this ancient tree is not protected, but that this big banyan tree does not need protection at all, because in Chacheng, no one will hurt it, and no one dares to hurt it.
As for the Mao, look at the location in the south. There is a large open space that is several meters above the tree roots, stacked with thousands of large and small incense burners. Countless incense heads are inserted into the incense burners, and the incense ash specially watered is spread there layer by layer. The branches of the southern banyan tree are hung in a row with colorful strips of praying for blessings, wishes, peace, etc.
Well, there are also large signs on the other side, which means warnings that only incense can be burned here, no candles are allowed, and no paper money is allowed to set off firecrackers, and violators are driven out!
You can understand it. This big banyan tree was worshipped by people from Chacheng many years ago. According to the relevant departments' careful consideration when cleaning the innermost incense burner, it was at least a pottery incense burner from two thousand years ago. However, because it was just ordinary pottery products and it was rotten and had little value, the relevant departments would give up, otherwise they would probably sweep away these old incense burners!
You should know that when the relevant departments came to investigate the big banyan tree, they were able to investigate the big riot police by stopping the surging crowds.
Also, when Chacheng was built and carried out construction, I don’t know which guy was so greedy that he was actually going to sell the area where the banyan tree is located for real estate development. Real estate developers patted their chests and said that they would never harm the banyan tree. They specially found the most famous experts in the country to be responsible for poaching and transplanting the banyan tree to other places.
Then the result was that tens of thousands of native people in Chacheng took to the streets to demonstrate. If the superiors had not handled it in time, a major conflict might have broken out.
It is also because of the special mentality of the natives in Chacheng that this commercial development location, which is the best location and crowded, is empty and becomes a street garden that requires government money, but it also allows the big banyan tree to be erected here.
This big banyan tree has become a spiritual symbol of Chacheng. It is not just a superstitious thing. Look at the people who chat, play cards, chess, and play under the big banyan tree, you will know that the big banyan tree has been integrated into the souls of the people of Chacheng. Some people even shout that the children who have never played under the big banyan tree in their childhood are not real children of the natives of Chacheng!
Chen Haoran approached the big banyan tree with awe and reverence because he knew that in the future, this big banyan tree nicknamed the banyan god will really become a banyan god!
Although he lived in another place far away from his hometown and could not witness the heroic scene of the Banyan God killing all directions to protect the water and soil, isn’t there a video? He saw how Banyan God exerted his might and destroyed the invaders to protect Chacheng.
Therefore, for such an existence, whether it is fearing the other party's strength or respecting the other party's qualities, Chen Haoran approached this big banyan tree with a respectful mood.
He reached out and pressed it on the trunk of the big banyan tree. Chen Haoran closed his eyes and said, "Grandma Banyan God, I'll ask you for a elixir furnace. This thing is useless, but it has a huge effect on me. It can give me the strength to protect the people I care about, so I'm welcome."
Chen Haoran just felt that he took it without complaining and took it for stealing it, and after telling it, he went to get it for the purpose of asking for it, so he specifically told the Rong God. After all, within a few hundred meters, there are all the Rong God's territory, and the things in this territory are all the Rong God's territory.
As for calling Mao a grandmother Rong Shen? That's because the appearance of the future Rong Shen is a rich and powerful old woman in ancient times with a cane!
Somehow, after beating, Chen Haoran suddenly felt that his vision was much clearer, and his voice became crisper. More importantly, the air actually became very good. Not only that, but the people surrounding Rong Shen also shouted in surprise: "Why did the air suddenly become fresh?"
Chen Haoran looked up at the entire banyan tree in shock. Seeing that the banyan tree was full of vitality, he felt the feeling of a sudden appearance of a very comfortable and comfortable feeling. He couldn't help but smile suddenly.
Damn, although the Roof God will only show its power when Chacheng encounters crisis in a 10 or 20 years, but it cannot be considered that the Roof God will only have the spiritual consciousness after a 10 or 20 years. It may be said that people have the spiritual consciousness for thousands of years. After all, there is also vitality in the world now, but it is not as rich as when the vitality explodes.
The Banyan God, which has existed for at least five or six thousand years, has absorbed those rare vitality for many years, and has enjoyed incense for thousands of years and gathered so many faiths. It would be strange if you say that this big banyan tree has not changed. Just all the children of all ages have never had any surprises when they play and climb up and down under this big banyan tree, and they understand the meaning.
For some reason, Chen Haoran suddenly felt a sense of admiration. After all, he had been playing under the banyan tree when he was a child. Then he completely relaxed: "Hehe, the things of our ancestors should be used by our young grandchild to play with, so there should be no problem at all."
Thinking that the Banyan God and he were grandchildren, and taking the Banyan God’s things for granted, Chen Haoran naturally started to slip towards the southern slices filled with incense burners, preparing to find the alchemy furnace and find a way to get them away.
After all, he was not idiot yet to search in the incense burner in broad daylight, and this was just a matter of beating and scolding.
