Aunt Xue and the others followed the instructions in the dream, and sure enough, in a small cave in the West Mountain, they found a wooden statue of three fox fairies. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info A few people discussed, and simply moved back to the family courtyard to pay tribute, and when the weather was good, they moved to the garden and burned incense to worship. On the other hand, come out in the sun, lest it get too humid and the wood carvings decay.

After listening to Aunt Xue's introduction, I hurriedly asked her again, is the matter of worshipping the three fox fairies and asking for children spiritual? Aunt Xue replied to me very firmly, very spiritual, she knows people, and she has already conceived seven or eight of them in this way. I asked in disbelief, "I heard from the people in our courtyard that more than a year ago, there was a woman named Xie Manhong, who seemed to have worshiped for a long time and was not pregnant. "Actually, I don't know if Xie Manhong worships the three fox fairies for the sake of asking for a son, but it should be easier to get the answer I want by asking this way.

Sure enough, at the mention of Xie Manhong, Aunt Xue's obvious expression darkened significantly, "You don't know who you are listening to nonsense, Xie Manhong went to ask for a son This is true, I have accompanied her twice, but whether there are children or not, it is more of a providence, isn't it? No one can guarantee that there must be children, and no one can guarantee some things." Xie Manhong's suicide, don't listen to the rumors outside, Xie Manhong is a good girl, enthusiastic, diligent, love to help people, you see her suicide, we don't see it that way, I only tell you one person, you must not say it, Xie Manhong is not called suicide, she ascended to heaven to be a boy for the three fox fairies, she has Huigen more than us. ”

Of course, I don't believe Aunt Xue's statement at all. But this trip at least figured out what Xie Manhong's reason for going to burn incense in the first place was.

After coming out of the family courtyard of the Water Conservancy Bureau, I went to the kindergarten by the way, and after inquiring for a long time, I found Xie Manhong's friend, who turned out to be her high school classmate, named Wang Tongxuan. She told me that Xie Manhong had helped her a lot, and before Xie Manhong committed suicide, she had already sensed that Xie Manhong's emotions were wrong and that she had a lot of concerns, but she didn't say anything. At first, she thought that there was something wrong with the relationship between Xie Manhong and Lu Qing, but later found out that it was not, she vaguely felt that it was because of the child. I also wanted to have a good chat with Xie Manhong, but I was too busy with work to delay, and it ended up being a huge regret.

A year before Xie Manhong's suicide, she came to Wang Tongxuan's kindergarten to help, and came once a week in the morning of the rotation, at first Wang Tongxuan really thought that Xie Manhong liked children and was willing to be with children, and later Xie Manhong told her that it was her mother who gave her the idea, saying that it would be easier to conceive with children often. Xie Manhong also told her that Lu Qing likes children very much, and she is an only child, and the family hopes that they can have a child as soon as possible after they get married, but she has been with Lu Qing for seven or eight years, and there is no movement at all.

Coming out of kindergarten, I have sketched a general framework in my mind, Xie Manhong's suicide was by no means voluntary, and it can even be called homicide in a sense, she was bewitched to death, because she wanted to accomplish one thing too much, and she chose a way that ordinary people can't understand. She also died of love, she couldn't tolerate any shortcomings in the relationship between the two people, and chose to take on a responsibility that she couldn't bear at all. Love can be terrifying, and love can also become a demon.

The next morning, the sun was shining and the sky was blue. It was such a good winter day, so I decided to go to Xishan for a walk and see the three fox fairy temples that could no longer be spiritual. According to the route provided by Aunt Xue, before ten o'clock, I arrived at Badachu Park at the foot of the West Mountain. Take a detour along the mountain road to the back mountain, and walk a few kilometers in the direction of Xiangshan.

In November, the red leaves have fallen, and the trees are full of desolation. There are not many tourists in the park, and when you get to the mountain road behind the mountain, it is even more empty. After walking all the way down for about an hour, I came to a fork in the mountain with a dilapidated gazebo on the fork. As Aunt Xue said, there was a stall selling incense and candles in the pavilion, and an uncle in his sixties was sitting in it.

I simply walked into the gazebo, sat down to take a breath, and said hello to the uncle. Maybe it was because there was no one for a long time, but the old man took the initiative to talk to me. He thought I was a tourist walking to Xiangshan to exercise. When I heard that I was going to the Sanshou Fox Immortal Temple, I was surprised to look up and down at me. As soon as I asked, I found out that the people who went to that temple were basically middle-aged and elderly women, and occasionally there were a few young women, and it was too rare for me to do so, because most of the people who came to this temple to burn incense came to ask for children.

He told me again that this temple has been around for many years, according to the old people in their village, there was it in the Ming Dynasty, it was originally called Xianliang Temple, it was the ancestral hall of a great eunuch in the Ming Dynasty, it was destroyed in the early Qing Dynasty, I don't know when, someone funded the reconstruction, and changed its name to Sanqing Temple. During the Japanese occupation, there were no people in the temple, and there was no incense, and it was very dilapidated. About ten years ago, I don't know who moved the statue of the god in a nearby cave and enshrined it. Everyone said that it was enshrined in the disciple of the Nine Heavens Xuannu, a fox with a high level of Taoism, which was also called the Three Fox Immortal Temple.

At this time I came, there were the least number of people, but on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, there was an endless stream of people who came to offer incense, and it was very lively.

I bought some incense candles by the way, said goodbye to the old man who sold incense, and continued down the hill along the fork road, and walked for about ten minutes to a small temple. If it weren't for the smoke rising from the courtyard, you would never recognize it as a temple, it is no different from the surrounding farmhouse courtyards.

When I entered the courtyard gate, I found that this courtyard is not big, and the courtyard is a rectangular copper incense burner, with a lot of incense inserted on it. There is only one row of main rooms in the courtyard, although the main hall in the middle is facing the sun, but the two wooden doors are very small, the light in the room is very dim, and the smell of sandalwood is strong, and the people who enter the main hall are immediately a little dazed.

There is a clay statue of the god in the main hall, which is very similar to the three fox fairy statues I saw in the courtyard of the Water Conservancy Bureau, but the two heads on both sides are covered with two large red flannel cloths, I don't know what the intention is.

However, in the main hall, there are no other statues of gods except for the three fox fairy statues, and black cloth flags hanging to the ground are hung on the east and west walls, as if to hide something.

I walked around the main hall, and there was no one, but the snacks and fruits on the table were fresh, and it seemed that someone should still take care of them. I was curious, what is this black cloth flag used to cover? This temple is very different from the temple in the general sense, one is that there are very few temples where black flags are hung, black flags belong to water, and they are the extreme of yin, and there is a statue of a god on the front and black flags on both sides, leaving only a living door, and this living door is still very narrow, and it is a pattern of a dead place.

Second, the head of the idol was covered with a red cloth. If, as Aunt Xue said, the three heads represent the previous life, the present life, and the next life, it means that the soul here is trapped in a place where there is no life and no death.

From this point of view, this temple must be an evil god, no wonder the evil spirit is very heavy. I walked to the black banner on the side, and there were a lot of spells drawn on it with an ink pen, but they were mixed with the black background, and I couldn't see it realistically for a while. I lifted the black flag, to see what was behind it, the moment I lifted it, it seemed that the wall behind it was a row of dense rows of small wooden signs, each small sign with a white line hanging a small bell, I moved the black flag when I touched the small bell, making a crisp jingle sound. And those wooden signs seem to have some people's birthdays written on them.

I was about to take a closer look when a cold voice came to my mind. "Do not move, for you disturb the gods, and you will be punished with great retribution. ”

I turned around, and a middle-aged man with long hair in a Taoist robe came in at the door. This man is not tall, his robe is shabby, his hair is greasy and unkempt, and the most frightening thing is that the muscles on one side of his face seem to be twisted, atrophied and drooping to the side, as if he has facial paralysis and has not been treated in time. In short, this person doesn't look like a cultivator at all, and people are a little scared when they see it.

I smiled at him and said, "I'm sorry, master, I don't know the rules here, I don't know the rules here, I see that no one is there, and I thought there was a door in the back to pass through other rooms, and you should bear with me if there is an offense." ”

"Are you here for someone?" the man looked me up and down, making him look furious.

"No, master, I was introduced by Sister Xue of the Water Conservancy Bureau to burn incense and petition, my surname is Chang. ”

"Burn incense, we rarely have male guests here, what do you want to ask for?" the man's gaze still didn't leave me.

"Master, I came to ask for my daughter, she has been married for three years, and she is not pregnant yet, Sister Xue said that this temple is very spiritual, my daughter does not believe in this, I can only ask for her. As I spoke, I took out the incense candle I had just bought from my bag.

"Your daughter doesn't believe it, how can she be sincere, this request for a child is her own business, and someone else's representative, even if you are her father, it doesn't work, you still call the child. His eyes were visibly softened when he looked at me, and the corners of his mouth twitched upwards unconsciously when he said the last sentence.

I thought to myself, nine times out of ten young people nowadays don't believe this, it is impossible for them all to come to beg, this Taoist priest must be very clear about this, is it a hint that he twitched the corners of his mouth? I hurriedly said to him in embarrassment: "Master, my daughter doesn't believe it, her mother died early, I told her a few times, but she didn't come, you can see if there is any other way to point out to me." With that, I pulled out a few ten-dollar bills from my bag and stuffed them into his hands.

Seeing the money, the Taoist priest's smile finally appeared on that distorted face, "Sir is so good, please come with me to the next room to talk." ”
