Chapter 223: Mountain God
Qingyang said gently: "Because I like you, I like you from the moment I met you, I like everything about you, I like everything about you, I can give everything for you, pay my life." ”
Tears flowed from Lian'er's eyes, and she gently raised her hand to touch Qingyang, and said, "Thank you for liking me, but I'm dying now, and I can't like you anymore." ”
"It's okay, as long as you're happy. Qingyang said softly.
In the days that followed, Qingyang did not leave for a moment, stayed by Lian'er's side, took care of her, protected her, until Lian'er swallowed her last breath, at the moment of breathing, heaven and earth felt the affection of Qingyang, and descended a great fortune, and sealed Qingyang as the mountain god of this place, becoming a powerful person of the gods.
And after Qingyang became a fairy, he still couldn't forget Lian'er, and waited in front of Lian'er's grave for thousands of years until Qingyang died.
"You haven't said anything about the scholar, why didn't he come back to see Lian'er. Li Yuxuan said with some displeasure.
"That scholar, some people say that the scholar died of illness while rushing for the exam; some people say that the scholar was killed when he encountered bandits; some say that the scholar did not get fame in the examination, and he returned to his hometown without the face to go back, and lived this life alone; some say that the scholar won the top prize in the examination, married the daughter of the general's daughter, and forgot about Lian'er; and some said......" Xu Shilin said the results of more than a dozen scholars in a row.
"Which of you are telling is true? Li Yuxuan said.
"I don't know, it's a legend after all, maybe it's all true. Xu Shilin said helplessly.
"The mountain temple in front of you has arrived. Just then, the voice of the groom came from outside.
"It's finally here, and there's no need to bump around in the wagon. Xu Shilin got out of the carriage after hearing this, and Zhou An and Li Yuxuan also got out of the carriage.
Although the mountain temple is in the mountain, but the cave entrance of the mountain temple is decorated very solemnly, it is framed by mahogany, and various goat patterns are tattooed on the mahogany, and there is a plaque with gold and silver bottom hanging high at the highest point of the cave, and the plaque has three words written on the mountain temple.
Xiucai on the other carriages got out of the car, including Liu Sanbian and others.
"Came to the mountain temple, let's go to our own games, remember to gather here at noon tomorrow and we will go back, otherwise we will miss the unveiling of the list and post it." Li Yuxuan said.
Everyone said that they understood, walked into the mountain temple, and went to play.
Zhou An and Xu Shilin also separated, but Li Yuxuan did not leave, but on the grounds that she was a woman, she was afraid of meeting gangsters, so she played with Zhou An, Zhou An agreed without much hesitation, and the two walked into the mountain temple together.
As soon as you walk in, you will enter a spacious lobby, and on both sides of the lobby are enshrined many statues of gods in different postures, some sitting cross-legged, some with folded hands, some with four arms outstretched, some with six eyes closed, etc., strange shapes, everything.
This should be one hundred side gods of the Qingyang Mountain God.
There is a futon under each statue, which is used by pilgrims to worship, and there are some men and women who kneel on the futon to bow down to these gods, and their mouths are constantly chanting, praying for the safety of their families, wealth and nobility.
Zhou An doesn't believe in these gods and ghosts, even if there are really things in this world, they are cultivated by people, so he doesn't have the slightest respect for the god of Qingyang Mountain, only a bystander.
And Li Yuxuan next to him is a little different, Li Yuxuan has read the book of sages since she was a child, learned the three outlines and five constants, only believes in the emperor in the court, and the lords, she doesn't believe much in the legendary gods of the mountain gods, after all, this era is an era of no miracles.
So Li Yuxuan just looked at these statues, and often commented on what are the characteristics of this stone statue, and the statue is flawed in its carving, fortunately she speaks in a small voice, otherwise those Qingyang Mountain god pilgrims will not let her go when they hear it.
Li Yuxuan said this, but Zhou An listened carefully, and after listening to it, he felt that these hundred side gods had some strange feelings, but he couldn't say what was weird, in short, he couldn't tell the reason.
While looking at the statues, they walked towards the front.
When they came to the front, they saw the statue of the great god of the green sheep, which was a blue sheep, standing there majestically with four hooves.
Although the god of Qingyang Mountain is very majestic, but his eyes show a trace of sadness, this statue is really very expressive, even the sadness in the eyes can be depicted, and even the hairs of the god of Qingyang Mountain have been carved out, I don't know who the carver is, there must be the level of a master.
At this time, many people knelt down in front of the god of Qingyang Mountain, holding a lottery holder and shaking lots, wanting to draw out a good lot, get the gift of the god of Qingyang Mountain, draw out a good sign related to their fate, and let the temple Zhu come to solve.
"Let's draw a lot and see what kind of lot we can draw. Li Yuxuan said.
"Okay. Although Zhou An doesn't believe that the lottery can predict his future, he still wants to try what kind of lottery can be drawn.
Zhou An and Li Yuxuan each took a lottery holder from the signing table in front of the Qingyang Mountain God, and there were more than a dozen signs in the tube, Zhou An and Li Yuxuan did not kneel, but bowed to the statue of the Qingyang Mountain God, and then picked up the lottery holder in their hands and shook it.
First of all, the stick holder in Li Yuxuan's hand shook out a sign, she glanced at the sign a few times, and then turned her head to look at Zhou An, Zhou An also shook out a sign at this time, but what is strange is that this sign has no words on it, and it is blank.
"The first time I saw a sign without a word, what does that mean. Li Yuxuan said curiously.
"I don't know, let's take a look at Miaozhu and let him sign it. Zhou An said.
The two came to Miaozhu, an old monk with six ring scars on the top of his head, wearing a yellow monk's robe, and a book on his desk that was unsigned.
"This is my signature, please explain. Zhou An put his signature in front of Miao Zhu and said.
Miao Zhu glanced at the sign and said softly: "A copper plate is unsigned once." ”
A copper plate can be taken out even by the poorest people, it seems that the mountain temple is good, unlike the temples that I went to before, which cost a lot of money.
Zhou An casually took out a tael of silver and put it on the table, the smallest money on his body was a tael of silver, and he never had a copper plate on his body: "This is the money I signed with her." ”
Miao Zhu was in a very good mood when he saw a tael of silver, and put a tael of silver in a small box on the table, and three big characters were written on the outer layer of the box, the merit box.
Then Miao Zhu picked up Zhou An's lottery and looked at it, looked at it and said: "Your lottery is very wonderful, it is difficult for tens of thousands of people to come to solve the signature, I didn't expect you to draw it, you won the jackpot." ”
"Isn't there any special significance to this kind of blank sign? Li Yuxuan said.
In fact, the blank sign has a meaning, that is, no matter what you ask, whether it is marriage, or wealth, or even career, it is full of unknowns, no one knows what your future is, and it is possible to become a mustard in the future, or it is possible to become a prince and general. Miao Zhu said.
"Then this blank lottery is signed, won, or signed? Li Yuxuan asked.
"No, it's the only mysterious sign in the lot, the so-called all laws are empty, and cause and effect are not empty. The temple blessed Amitabha Buddha and said.
"Zhou Gongzi, the sign you asked for is really good, there is no one in ten thousand. Li Yuxuan smiled at Zhou An and said.
"How do I feel that this old monk is fooling me. Zhou An looked at Miaozhu and said.
"This is all the will of the god of Qingyang Mountain, and it can't be wrong. Questioned by Zhou An, Miao Zhu said without the slightest anger on his face.
Zhou An doesn't want these gods to talk about things, anyway, Zhou An knows this blank sign, and he can solve it no matter how he does, for example, some people say that it is a marriage sign, and it will be empty in the end. Some people also say that they are on the sign, and they can have whatever they want, although what Miao Zhu said is the theory that is the most sticky to the sign, but Zhou An still listened with a suspicious attitude.
Then Zhou An said to Li Yuxuan: "You let him take a look at your signature and see what your signature says." ”
