The joy of near spring lingers in this town, and there are three days left before the legendary New Year.

I heard that firecrackers are set off during the New Year, the first is to scare away ghosts, and the second is to welcome the arrival of the new year.

Oh, by the way, I asked about something, Cai Jinhong went back to Shanghai for the New Year.

……

As soon as it was dawn, I got up early in the morning, and in the morning I said that I wanted to worship the gods, and I had to go and help them.

Sichuan Cai is from the same village as me, so I met him this morning, this guy is wearing a thick tablo leather armor with a white sweater underneath, a scarf around his neck, a pair of jeans underneath, and a pair of sneakers.

That's all there is to this guy.

Seeing me and my mother walking towards the Wanggong Temple, this kid ran over to say hello, I glanced at my mother, she nodded and I walked into the alley with Sichuan cuisine.

As soon as he entered the alley, he handed over a cigarette and asked me very curiously: "Yu, Cai Jinhong said that you can see ghosts...... Is this true?"

Feeling the hidden heat in this kid's fiery gaze, I didn't answer him, but asked him instead, "What did the dog tell you?"

"He told me that he had seen ghosts with you, and they were all terrible and hideous ghosts, and that you had to die to escape your life. Sichuan Cai smoked a cigarette and replied almost without thinking, and then couldn't wait to ask, "Yu, is what he said true?

I looked at him solemnly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "You really want to know?"

He nodded yes, and said yes, so sue him.

"I can see ghosts, and those two ghost incidents were also accidental, but I advise you not to think about it, and don't be curious, it's really not fun at all. After I said this, I threw away the cigarette butt and turned to leave.

The boy froze still, as if frightened by what I had said.

But what I didn't expect was that he wasn't scared, because the next second his face gradually appeared fanatical, yes, you read that right, it was indeed a fanatical gaze.

……

Consciously, I don't seem to have introduced the Wanggong Temple yet, right?

The temple is not large, covers an area of about 150 square meters, the whole is boxy, on the sharp point of the two ends of the ridge on the roof, there are two golden five-clawed golden dragons, and under the ridge are two roofs with red tiles obliquely.

Speaking of the temple entrance, walk up the five stone steps, there are two proud heads facing the sky at the temple entrance, and the mighty stone lions with bare fangs at both ends of the mouth guard the door, followed by the wooden door painted with vermilion lacquer, depicting the portrait of the two door gods.

There are also red candles, and then you can see the prince sitting on a high platform, and the whole carving is very majestic, I don't know what kind of god it is, but it seems to be the biggest god in the whole town.

There are many incense sticks in the incense burner, and the burning cigarette smoke fills the whole room, making this place look misty, and the unique fragrance of the incense makes this place feel like a fairyland on earth.

The statue of the prince occupies a puppet, on his side I remember that there is a mother goddess, it seems to be the queen mother, of course not the queen mother, there are a total of eighteen small gods around the two great gods, each idol is basically dressed in a red robe, rarely decorated with gold and silver.

Oh, by the way, there are some divine diagrams on the four walls of the temple, I don't understand the general idea, maybe it is a record of some of the things that these gods and goddesses have done, right? I don't know very well...... In short, that's all there is to the temple.

I almost forgot to mention that there are four marble pillars in the temple that are still held by one person, which are very cold to the touch, and the ground is also made of marble.

My mother knelt down in front of the prince and queen mother, one of the four red futons, with words in her mouth and a very respectful expression, saw me coming, pulled me to kneel on the futon, and asked me to say goodbye to the prince and queen mother.

I knelt down three times, and then my mother and I went out of the temple and came to the open space in front of the temple, where there was a large stove that burned gold foil, and I stood beside my mother, looking through the head-sized gas outlet, looking at the gold foil burning inside until it turned into black ashes.

I seemed to see these gold foils turn into golden light, leaving the furnace and drifting into the temple, I followed the golden light, looked towards the temple, the golden light attached to the prince and queen mother, the bright golden light bloomed from them, a little dazzling.

And those little god statues are more or less blooming with golden light, but they are much lighter in comparison.

Is this the so-called golden body?

It's incredible, is there really a god in this world? But why haven't I ever seen it, but only seen the existence of ghosts? Then if there is a god, there must be a Buddha, and if there is a Buddha, there must be a demon, and so on, maybe there are really spirits and monsters in this world.

After a few words of greeting with Sichuan cuisine, my mother and I left the Wanggong Temple, and before leaving, I suddenly remembered, where did the old grandmother go?

……

There were many doubts in my heart, and when my mother returned home and was about to take a breath and drink water, I suddenly heard my mother in the kitchen scolding.

I thought my mother was accidentally burned, so I didn't think much about it and shouted to be careful, and then turned on the TV and was about to watch the meeting, but my mother didn't respond for a long time, I put down the remote control, turned around and walked to the kitchen.

Oh no, my mother was confronted by a huge mouse.

The rat was half a meter long, and a pair of rats were bright, and although it was close to evening, the sky was still bright, and the kitchen was a little dim without the lights, and in such an environment, the eyes of the giant rat emitted a green light.

Damn, it's not easy to see this rat.

I pulled my mom and told her to go out of the kitchen first, I'll deal with it here, my mom looked at me worriedly, I smiled and said it's okay, I'm not afraid of mice, I'm bigger than it just because of my size, my mom left the kitchen under my persuasion.

I took the broom, put it back in its place, crouched down to look at the giant mouse, and after a half-rattle I asked, "Can you understand me?"

Before the giant rat could answer me, the red rope on my wrist trembled, and the figure of the old ghost suddenly appeared, floating in the air half a foot above the ground.

It's a rat spirit! A consciousness quietly floated in my heart.

Strangely, even when I looked at it like this, the rat spirit did not escape, but just looked at me quietly, and I did not feel the slightest anger from it, as if it was really good by nature, and not a cunning and insidious rat.

I asked it again, could it understand what I was saying? This time it nodded, and stood up to look at me.

Then it squeaked twice, I didn't understand what it meant, and I couldn't help but look at the old ghost helplessly, the old ghost grinned, and told me that if I want to communicate with it, I need to immerse myself in my heart and call it in my heart.

Because I have yin and yang eyes and gossip tattoos, gossip tattoos are still a gift from Lao Tzu, so strictly speaking, I am also a spirit, that is, a psychic person, who can communicate with all things in heaven and earth, but this kind of communication is like the communication of gods in martial arts novels, and cannot be communicated in words.

I subconsciously touched the back of my head, this old ghost seems to know a lot, even I don't understand this, but I still calm down and call out to the rat spirit in my heart.

However, in the bottom of my heart, the voice of the rat spirit suddenly sounded, it was a woman's voice, listening to the maturity judgment contained in the voice, about thirty or forty years old, about the same age as my mother.

I asked her why she came out to scare my mother, but she disdained to tell me that she was a rat spirit that was rare in a hundred years, and she didn't bother to do scary things, just because she was hungry and wanted to get something to eat.

Moreover, she also told me that she was a demon cultivator who was about to attain the fruits of the Dao, and she had not harmed anyone for a hundred years, and she had never thought that she would encounter a more difficult spirit to see.

I asked her a few more questions in my heart about where it came from, what it was capable of, and how to find it.

I don't know if this rat spirit really hasn't hurt anyone in a hundred years, but in any case, it answered all my questions very seriously, which also gave me some answers in my heart, and then I got up and grabbed a fish that had been peeled and cleaned, handed it to the rat spirit, and sent it away.

Then I got up and went back to the hall, and told my mother the ins and outs of the qiē, but my mother didn't seem surprised, she told me that I was really a rat spirit, but I was stunned.

My mother took my hand and said earnestly: "Child, there are many strange elves encountered by our older generation, but the mother of the rat spirit has never seen it, and such a large rat spirit must be about to become enlightened." ”

In the ensuing conversation, I revealed to my mother that I had yin and yang eyes and gossip tattoos, but my mother just smiled indifferently and said that my son has grown up and will get ahead in the future.

These words were in the clouds, I thought that my mother would be surprised, but I never thought that she was very indifferent and calm.

Before I could ask any questions, my mother told me to cook first, and then we would talk while eating.
