Chapter 282
"The local people say that the mountain god blesses them. Looking at the book Lingling, is there really a mountain god in the world?" Han Lei asked curiously.
Wang Lingyun shook her head. "I don't know. I haven't seen it, I haven't heard my grandfather say it, but I think if there are ghosts, there will be gods. Otherwise, if the ghosts were not suppressed, wouldn't the world have been chaotic long ago?"
She thought about it and said. "However, you just said that the mountain people did not encounter snakes when they went up the mountain, probably because those mountain people are very familiar with it, so they know how to avoid snakes. ”
"Oh, by the way, I've heard my grandfather tell me that he used to go to some of the mountains, and heard that the hunters would bring some sun-dried tobacco or some insect repellent hay with them when they went up the mountains. ”
"These are all snakes and insects, and I also told a story about snakes. ”
"Story, tell me a story. As soon as I heard a story, I could listen to it, and Han Lei instantly came to her senses.
Anyway, it's fine, since Han Lei wants to hear it, then telling her about it is also to pass the time. "My grandfather is still following my grandfather when he was out and about. ”
"When they passed through the foot of a mountain, they came across a man who had some bad breath somewhere, which caused him to feel unwell. The man saw that his physical sickness was healed. ”
"It has always been hospitable and invited my grandfather to his house as a guest. It just so happened that my grandfather hadn't found a place to live yet, so he went with him. In the process of chatting with that person, I learned that this person was a hunter. ”
"When the family is busy with farming, they often go up to the mountains to hunt. The evil qi on his body is estimated to be stained in the yin land in the mountains, but that person does not know what the yin land is and where those yin places are. ”
"When I went back to that person's house, I passed by a mountain temple, which was about 20 square meters in size, and many places had collapsed. When my grandfather saw this, he suggested that they find some local physiognomy or feng shui master to tear down the temple. ”
"The temple without incense will become a yin temple, and it is easy to hide some lonely ghosts. Maybe anyone passing by here at night, or going into the temple will be affected. ”
The man looked at the temple and said that he did not know how long the temple had fallen, he only knew that it had fallen for as long as he could remember, but he had heard from the old people in the village that it had been overwhelmed by a big snake a long time ago. ”
"At that time, my grandmother was a little surprised and asked how big a snake must be to overwhelm a temple. Then the man said that he had also heard from the old man in the village that the snake's head was almost the size of a man. ”
"The road where the mountain temple is located is a road that several nearby villages will pass by. At that time, people passing by this road always disappeared every few days and could not find any of them, some thought they had been trafficked, and some thought they had run away. ”
"After reporting to the official, there was no news, and later more and more people disappeared, and people from several nearby villages asked several people to go down the mountain with them. lest no one goes missing and no one knows. ”
"A few days after it was safe, a few people ran back to the village and told everyone that there was a big snake eating people in the mountain temple, and one of their companions was eaten by the snake. ”
"When I heard that there was a big snake, it wouldn't work. With such a man-eating beast nearby, who could be at ease, and perhaps the snake would swim into the village to eat people? ”
"I decided to organize more young strong forces, bring some homemade knives and bows and arrows, and some homemade weapons to kill snakes. In the end, it ended up with several people who died, and there was no way to take the snake, and no one dared to kill the snake again. ”
The villagers opened another path up and down the mountain, and no longer called out from the side of the mountain temple. It's just a seller who came here with a load of goods. I didn't know that there were snakes there, so I walked along the main road of the mountain temple. ”
"The merchant's luck was that the first time I passed there was uneventful. This merchant sells tobacco leaves, and the tobacco leaves are estimated to have been left for too long or accidentally damp, and others are not willing to buy them. ”
"I walked around several villages with my things, but I didn't sell them. The merchant had to carry the goods down the mountain again, and when it was almost dark, the people in the village told him not to leave, and to stay in the village for one night. ”
But the merchant said that he had spent the night in the village, and that he would have to go down tonight to get some goods, and that he must go down the mountain. The villagers said that there was a big snake in the mountain temple, and the merchant walked through it once and did not touch it, so he did not believe it at all. ”
The villagers persuaded him for a long time, but the man still didn't believe it and insisted on going to die, so he got angry and stopped stopping him. Normally, the merchant would be able to go down the mountain before dark. It's just that when the merchant was about to walk to the mountain temple, it rained in the sky. ”
The merchant hid in the mountain temple to hide from the rain, opened the load of goods, and found that the tobacco leaves were drenched by the rain, and these tobacco leaves could not be sold, so they could not be sold. It was raining heavily outside, and it was a little cold inside the mountain temple, and the mountain was windy. ”
"There is no firewood to burn in the temple. Thinking that those tobacco leaves can't be sold, just burn the tobacco leaves, anyway, if they can't be sold, they have to be thrown away, so it's better to let him bake the fire. ”
So the merchant lit the tobacco leaves. It's just that the tobacco leaf was damp, and the smoke was very big, and after a while, the whole mountain temple was full of smoke. The smoke was so big that he couldn't see the place next to him clearly. ”
"It's impossible for the merchant to run out when it's raining outside, so he can only endure it. But after a while, the merchant heard a sound of 'touching' from inside the temple, and the merchant slowly groped over to see that it was a huge snake's head lying not far from him. ”
The snake's body was still outside the temple, and the merchant did not dare to run out. In desperation, he threw the lit tobacco leaves to the snake and hid himself behind the statue of the mountain god. Wait until the last of the tobacco leaves are almost finished. ”
"The mountain temple suddenly collapsed. The rain slowly extinguished the tobacco leaves. The smoke in the temple was gone. The merchant was afraid to die, but he didn't dare to move, for fear that the snake would swallow him in one bite. ”
"I don't know how long it took, but the snake didn't move, and the merchant was bold. When he saw that the snake did not react, he thought that the snake must be dead. ”
At the same time, he thought that the snake's gall was valuable, and the snake gall in such a big snake must be even more valuable. ”
"Qian Zhuang is brave, the merchant took the knife he carried with him and disemboweled the snake. That's how the snake died. According to the villager, the merchant not only found the snake gall in the snake's body, but also found some gold, silver, and jade in the snake's body. ”
"After all, the stomach of the snake can't be liquefied by these things, and that snake is so big, who knows how many people it has eaten before, and which rich people it has eaten?"
