Chapter 2: The Lion Dances with Claws

"Let me interject, but I don't think there's any need to do this. ”

Su Chen's words made everyone at the scene look at him, and Wu Kun and Li Yi on the side were also surprised, and they didn't understand what Su Chen was doing at this time.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were looking at him, Su Chen smiled and explained: "There is a saying that people rely on clothes, Buddha depends on gold, and the old man is willing to repay his kindness, and it is true that he wants to repair the land lord's shrine, but I think the land lord may not necessarily like it." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, you can still know if the land lord likes it or not, if you want to say that, why do those Taoist temples have to be renovated. When Qi Mingli's grandson heard Su Chen's words, he immediately refuted Su Chen.

"Xiao Xuan, don't be so rude, this young man, you said that the land lord doesn't like it, but what's the reason?"

Qi Mingli was not angry, and Su Chen heard the other party's inquiry, and after a moment of silence, he replied: "My family is also from the countryside, and there is also a land temple in our village, the land temple in our village has a history of almost hundreds of years, and there is a big camphor tree behind the temple, because the camphor tree continues to grow, it has been pressed to the eaves of the land temple. ”

"The old man in the village said that the land lord is different from other gods, and every land lord is changed after the death of an outstanding local figure, so in the heart of the land lord, as long as the people live well, it is okay. ”

"The people are motivated and struggling, this is the best reward for the land lord, the land temple is so well decorated, everyone burns incense and worships the Buddha every day, counting on the land lord to bless, but it will make the land lord unhappy. ”

Su Chen's words made Qi Mingli silent, but Lin Quan on the side answered: "Yes, my father also said this, as long as you respect the land lord in your heart, my father said, the cultivation is too good, maybe the person who lives in it will not be the land lord at that time." ”

"If you don't live in the land lord, can it be that other gods and Buddhas can live?"

Li Yi couldn't help but speak, Lin Quan scratched his head, this was what his father told him, but he didn't know why, his father didn't explain it to him at the beginning.

"I once heard an old man in our village say, the old man said that the land lord is the local outstanding people after the death of the incarnation, they only enjoy the local people's incense offerings, after a long time, the successful can be ranked in the immortal class, and stepping into the immortal class is just like the formal establishment we call in the world, you can enjoy the incense offerings of ten thousand families, if you don't step into the immortal class before, that is a temporary worker. ”

Seeing that Lin Quan couldn't answer, Su Chen took over and continued: "This is the treatment of temporary workers, you suddenly give him a good treatment, the working environment is more comfortable than that of regular workers, and those regular workers are very likely to occupy the magpie's nest." ”

"It's really fake, it's so mysterious, the land lord is not a god. ”

Su Chen's explanation made Wu Kun and Li Yi's faces look incredulous, and the other people present were the same, because they felt that what Su Chen said was too mysterious, and if they said that, there was no difference between the immortals and them mortals.

"It's okay for us in the south, there are many places in the north that worship Wong Tai Sin and the like, can you say that these are immortals?" replied Su Chen.

"Not a fairy, what is that?" someone asked.

"Spirits, there is a popular saying that animals that have cultivated supernatural powers, of course, they are a little different from the land lord, but I don't know the specifics, I just listened to the old people in our village. ”

Seeing the shocked expressions of everyone present, Su Chen smiled and continued: "The old man in our village also told me a story, saying that in ancient times, there was a poor man who didn't work hard to make money to support his family, so he went to worship the Buddha and burn incense every day, hoping that the gods would bless him and make him rich. ”

It's just that this poor man has not read a book and can't write, when he is in trouble, a wandering reading gentleman passes by, the poor man comes forward to ask for words, this reading gentleman is very happy to agree, with a wave of the brush, he wrote a couplet. ”

The poor man was very happy to get the couplet, and found the people in the village to paste it in front of the land temple, but an old man in the village was shocked when he saw this word, saying that the couplet was written by the land lord himself, and that Mr. Reading was the incarnation of the land lord. ”

Su Chen paused when he told the story here, everyone present listened very carefully, obviously a little fascinated, seeing that Su Chen stopped talking, Wu Kun complained: "Su Chen, you continue to tell, why does that old man think that the storyteller is the lord of the land." ”

"I think the problem lies in that couplet, young man, tell us what the couplet is about. Qi Mingli asked thoughtfully.

"Yes, the problem is in the couplet, which is very simple. Su Chen nodded, and then read out the couplet.

"The upper link is: If I have a spirit, I will not pile up ashes everywhere, and the door will fly piece by piece!"

"The next link is: You are delusional, you must know that there is nothing like diligence and thrift, and there is nothing like laziness!"

After listening to this couplet, Qi Mingli sighed with emotion: "This couplet is indeed written in the tone of the land lord, it's just that the land lord is merciful and compassionate, and he doesn't care about these things, as long as he has respect in his heart." ”

After living to such an age, how could Qi Mingli not understand that this young man said so much just to persuade himself not to move the Earth Lord God Stage, and asked curiously at the moment: "What does the little brother do?"

"We are students, we are still in college, and we are studying civil architecture. Before Su Chen could answer, Li Yi on the side took the first step to answer.

"Civil engineering, nice, good professional. ”

Hearing Qi Mingli's words, Su Chen didn't answer, and after smiling, he said goodbye.

However, after stepping out of Qi Mingli's sight, Wu Kun suddenly opened his mouth and asked Su Chen, "Su Chen, you are honest, is there any secret in the divine platform of this land lord just now?"

Su Chen was a little surprised, and asked rhetorically, "Why do you ask that?"

"I'm not stupid, you said so much, it's an old man and a storyteller, isn't it just to not let that old man move the god of the earth?"

"I didn't expect you to be very careful in your observation, that's right, I said so much, the purpose is to prevent the old man from touching the god of the land lord, as for why I did this, it is because the location of the land lord is the same as the location of the land lord in our hometown village. ”

"What do you mean?

"Normally, the land lord will stay in the temple, and the older generation is very concerned about this aspect of things, even if they are poor, they will not dig a hole in the mountain and give the land lord a nest. ”

Su Chen's words made Wu Kun nod, he was also from the countryside, and he knew the situation in the countryside, which was indeed as Su Chen said.

"The reason why our village will settle down in the mud cave in the mountain is for a reason, according to the older generation, it is because our village commits the earth evil, that is, the evil qi in feng shui, which will affect the life of the whole village, and this kind of earth evil is very powerful, and the general things can not be suppressed, and finally the feng shui gentleman in the village thought of a way to use the land lord to suppress the earth evil. ”

"The Lord of the Land himself is blessed with a side of the land, and he is born to restrain the evil of the earth, and the statue of the Lord of the Land is placed here, which can suppress and dissolve the evil spirit. ”

Li Yi is from the city, and listening to Su Chen say this, it was like listening to mythological stories, and he couldn't help but question: "It's really fake, it's so magical, and is this earth evil so harmful?"

Hearing Li Yi's words, Su Chen glanced at him and said solemnly: "Before asking the land lord to suppress the earth evil, the people in our village often got sick and suffered accidents, some would fall while walking, and some would swim and drown, but since the land lord was invited, these accidents have been rare, and everyone is in good health, and it has become a normal birth, old age, sickness and death." ”

"It is precisely because I know these that I am afraid that this is also the case with the land lord here, which moves the statue of the land lord or changes the god platform, which is very likely to lead to the failure of the suppression of the earth demon and harm the people in the entire village. ”

This was Su Chen's explanation, but in fact, there were some things he didn't tell Wu Kun and Li Yi, these were not his guesses, but true.

This mountain is shaped like a lion, but leaning on the mountainside, that is, below the location of the land lord, there are several huge stones, like a lion's claw.

If that's all there is to it, the most important thing is that these stones are just facing the village at the foot of the mountain, and looking up from the village at the bottom of the mountain, it looks like a pair of claws of a lion grabbing the village.

From the point of view of evil qi, this is called the fierce lion dancing claws, which belongs to the shape of the earth's evil, and it is also a naturally formed form of evil, and the lethality is not trivial, if it is not suppressed and resolved, the entire village will suffer.

However, this kind of evil qi naturally formed by mountains and rivers is the most difficult to dissolve, because it takes too long to form, and it will take a long time to dissolve.

Obviously, there are also knowledgeable masters in this village, who used the land lord to suppress this earth evil, and it is impossible to move the statue of the earth lord before the evil qi is resolved, as for when the evil qi can be dissolved, an obvious feature is that the lion's claw disappears.

Some people may wonder how these are stones, how can they disappear, unless they are removed by hand.

In fact, it is indeed artificial, but this artificiality should be put in double quotation marks.

Heavy rain and flash floods, lightning splits, these come from the natural "artificial" removal, which means that the evil qi has been dissolved, and at that time, you can invite the land lord away.

Feng Shui metaphysics, gossip fortune telling, Su Chen didn't understand these before death, these skills were all learned by him in the underworld after death, thinking of what happened in the underworld, Su Chen also had some emotion, if those old men knew that they had miraculously come to life again, I don't know how they would feel.

The sun was shining on his body, Su Chen took a breath of air a little greedily, I have to say that the air in the yang world is still more comfortable than the underworld.

It's just that when he returned to campus downstairs in the dormitory and saw the figure that appeared under his dormitory, the corners of Su Chen's mouth twitched, his expression became a little weird, and a scene in his memory began to slowly emerge in his mind.
