Chapter 106
Now I will tell you the story of Long Kui when he was young. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"If you have a conscience, why should you burn incense and light candles on the fifteenth day of the first month;
This is a couplet of the City God Temple, which means that people in the world only need to act according to their conscience, and they do not need to go to the temple to burn incense and light candles to pray for peace.
On the contrary, if you do not act according to the conscience and heavenly reason, even if you hide at home, you must still beware of Niu Ye Ma Ye or the judge coming to the door to detain the soul.
This couplet can be said to be enough for Ashali.
The temple is located outside the city of Wuxi in Sichuan.
When it comes to Wuxi, everyone in the world is unfamiliar. If you mention Wushan, you are familiar with it!
Because, there are thirteen peaks in Wushan, among which the goddess peak is said to have met a beautiful woman in the goddess peak of Chuxiang back then
And there was a night of lingering.
Afterwards, the woman suddenly disappeared, and the king of Yuexiang called this woman a goddess, and this peak was called the goddess peak, and Wushan was famous
Ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign. Wuxi is located in the north of Wushan, and there is a Daning River between the two places, the river water is clear, not only for fish and shrimp, but also for people to drink and irrigate the fields.
Therefore, Wuxi is a farming and fishing city. This city god temple was built in Gaozhu Village, north of Wuxi City. There are only more than 100 households in Gaozhu Village
People, every household has the surname Gao, and there are bamboo plants inside and outside the village, and the bamboo is high and verdant, and the scenery is quite pleasant.
The most beautiful thing is the bamboo near the City God Temple.
The bamboos in Gaozhu Village are all emerald green or dark green, but the bamboos near the Chenghuang Temple are purple, and the bamboo body is thin and straight, which is not like the rest of the place
Chubby round. When it comes to this piece of purple bamboo, the villagers of Gaozhu regard it as a supernatural event.
They see it more as a manifestation of the gods.
Because, when the temple was built, it was built in the bamboo forest, who knows, within three years, the green bamboo around it has become purple bamboo, and the new bamboo is purple bamboo.
Another miracle is that if a villager is unwell and takes the ashes from the incense burner, he can be cured without medicine. Therefore, this City God Temple has been maintained and intact by everyone.
Although the city god, judge, general Xie Fan and Niu Ye Ma Ye enshrined in the temple have been more than 100 years old, they are still vivid.
However, after nightfall, the villagers of Gaozhu do not enter the City God Temple.
Because, regardless of rain or shine, it only takes night to cool the temperature inside and outside the City God Temple, which is not only cold, but also cold to the bone, which makes people feel good.
The villagers all think that this scene is because the city god is "handling the case".
Therefore, no one dares to enter or approach the temple at night.
On the morning of the end festival of the year of Yiyin, the villagers of Gaozhu went to the Chenghuang Temple to worship with meat dumplings and sacrifices as in the past!
At this time, two men came along the road. Anyone who sees them will surely take a second look, for they are a wizened child and a blind and hunched old man.
Not only was the boy dry and skinny, but he also coughed as he walked, and he coughed so much that he covered his chest with his hands, which was very painful! The old man is not only gray-haired, but also leaves traces of vicissitudes on his face, coupled with a hunched back, which makes people sympathize with him at first sight.
The thinness of the old and the young has attracted the attention of passers-by again and again. A woman stepped forward and asked, "Little brother, how can you cough like this?"
What about this murderer?"
As soon as the child stopped, he coughed and gasped.
The old man said: "Xiao Sun has been weak and coughing since he was a child, and he has not been able to cure it so far. ”
The woman said: "The incense ash of the city god can cure all kinds of diseases, the old man might as well give it a try." ”
"Incense ash?"
"Yes! No matter how old or young the people of Gaojia Village are, no matter what kind of illness they encounter, as long as they eat fragrant ashes!"
"Such a miracle?"
"Yes, let your grandson try it!"
"Okay, where is the City God Temple?"
"It's not far from here, I'm about to go goodbye, let's go together!"
"Yes!"
So the woman went with the seven men, and the child coughed along the way, and all the people looked intrigued.
After a long time, not long after they had entered the bamboo forest, the boy coughed again, and suddenly looked near as he walked, and he quickly noticed it
The bamboo was all purple, and he couldn't help but look at the woman.
The woman knowingly said, "The bamboo color is different, isn't it?" and the child nodded, and coughed six more times.
The woman patted him on the back and said, "Rest!"
"Thank you! ahem...... Auntie, cough ......"
The woman patted her back lightly and said, "There are many bamboos in Gaozhu Village, and the bamboo color is emerald green, only the bamboo color in the area of the City God Temple is all purple. ”
The old man raised his eyebrows, and he asked after a moment's thought, "Is there a purple bamboo near here?"
"Yes! There is a cluster of purple bamboos seven steps away on the right. ”
"Long Kui, lead the way!" the child headed to the right.
The people followed curiously.
When the old man and his party arrived in front of the bamboo, they reached out and touched the bamboo. Soon he held the bamboo and put it on his right cheek. Then he touched the ground beyond the bamboo. He not only touched the soil with his hands, but also pressed the ground with his palms. He inhaled and exhaled repeatedly.
Soon, he got up with a smile and said, "Thank you!"
The woman asked, "What is the old man doing?"
The old man asked, "This bamboo won't become bamboo shoots, right?"
"Yes, the bamboo body is also small!"
The old man nodded and said, "Is the leaf color purple?"
"Yes, is there such bamboo anywhere else?"
"There is a purple bamboo forest in Putuo Mountain, Zhejiang, but the bamboo color and leaf color there are only light purple, and the bamboo color here should be close to eggplant color, right?"
"Yes! You're so clever!"
The old man smiled indifferently and said, "The bamboo color here is all purple?"
"Yes!"
"Where is the purple darker?"
"This ...... This ......"
The woman looked at her companion and immediately saw another woman, "The bamboo behind Fu Ye's grave is darker, right?"
"Ahh
The old man raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is there a grave here?"
"Yes, there are two graves here, and there are Chang and his wife buried in each tomb, and this City God Temple was built by Chang Da himself before his death. ”
"Lord Chang?"
"Yes! Chang Daren's single name is Fu, known as Fu Ye, he is the only one who has ever been an official in Gaozhu Village, and he is also the best person who takes care of everyone. ”
"Mmmmmmmm
"The old man wants to go to the grave to pay respects?"
"Yes, is it convenient to lead the way?"
They are not far behind the temple. ”
"Thank you!"
And they went back to the way and on their way. As soon as they approached the temple, the children saw many people worshipping and burning paper money inside and outside the temple, and soon everyone was looking at them.
As soon as the child was short of breath, he coughed again and again. Seeing a middle-aged man walking quickly, everyone greeted him.
The middle-aged man asked, "What's the matter?" the woman recounted.
The middle-aged man stepped forward and said: "My surname is Chang, my single name is Ren, and I am in charge of the position of village chief, I am slightly involved in Huang, let me take a look at the little brother first?"
The old man nodded and said, "Thank you!
The child handed out his left hand, and Chang Ren put on the vein of his right wrist, and fixed his eyes on it.
Soon, his brows were furrowed, and he quickly took the old man's left wrist again.
Then he rolled his eyelids, then he looked at the child's tongue, and then he said in a deep voice, "Spit on the ground?"
The child coughed three times in a row, and then began to spit and hit the ground. Chang Ren squatted next to the phlegm and watched. Seeing that the phlegm was gray and yellow, and it looked like a ball of mud, Chang Ren picked up the bamboo leaf to pick up the phlegm, and then looked at it in detail.
After a long time, he got up with the phlegm buried in the soil and said, "How long have you been coughing?"
"Sixteen years!"
"What? You're sixteen?"
"Eighteen......! Ahem......"
The crowd changed color. Because this child looks like he is only five or six years old!
The old man said: "When the little grandson gave birth, the cold house was attacked, the little dog was killed, and the little daughter-in-law was injured and died in childbirth, and the little grandson has been injured so far. ”
"It's unfortunate that your old eyes were blind at the time?"
"Yes! Xiao Sun has been with the decoction since he was three years old, and he has been coughing up until now!"
"It's unfortunate, there's nothing I can do about it. ”
"Thank you, you're a descendant of Chang Da, right?"
"Yes! The ancestors were officials in Yunnan. ”
"After the famous family!"
"Don't dare to be! One generation is not as good as the next!"
"You're welcome, can I pay my respects to Ling Zu?"
"Well deserved!"
"You're welcome!
"Please"
Chang Ren accompanied them to the back of the temple, and soon they stopped at the two tombs.
The child couldn't help coughing, and Chang Ren patted the child's chest and back with both palms.
But the old man put down the bamboo pole and stepped forward to tithe.
Chang Ren hurriedly stepped back and replied: "Don't dare to be!"
The old man asked, "Dare to ask if the color of the monument is floodlight?"
"Yes!"
"The monument is cold, isn't it?"
"Yes!"
"The grave is not growing, is it?"
"Yes!"
"You haven't opened a grave, have you?"
"Don't dare! The ancestor on his deathbed specially instructed his descendants not to touch the second grave. ”
"Does Ling Zu have the meaning of saying this?"
"...... this?"
The old man stepped forward and whispered, "Is the coffin of the ancestor crystal or bronze?" Chang Ren's expression changed, and he was speechless for a while.
The old man said in a low voice: "The old decay Qiu Hong is slightly involved in the study of public opinion, and the ancestor and grandmother may be buried in Tiangang Five Thunder Nine ******* Chang Ren sighed, and he changed color for it.
Qiu Hong said: "Can the old decay touch two monuments?"
Chang Ren nodded and said, "Please!" As he spoke, he led Qiu Hong to the left grave.
Qiu Hong squatted down, and his palms were pressed on the tombstone.
Soon, he whispered, "The corpse is intact." ”
Chang Ren changed color and said, "Really?"
"Hmm, there's another grave on the right, right?"
"Yes!" Chang Ren led Qiu Hong to the right grave.
Qiu Hong squatted down again and stroked the monument with both palms, and soon he changed color and said, "Let my grandmother be buried in this grave?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"Do you have offspring?"
Chang Ren sighed: "Gao Ming! I originally had three sons and one daughter, but the three sons died one after another, leaving only one daughter, who is currently living far away in the capital. ”
Qiu Hong shook his head and said, "Ling Yuan should live in this village!"
"The little girl should return here?"
"Yes! The blessings of the house will all gather the grandson of Ling Yuan. ”
"Chengjiao!" he heard the child's cry, and put his hand on his right ear.
Then he pressed his head with both hands. I heard him scream again, and he fell to the ground with a bang.
Qiu Hong hurriedly said, "What happened?"
Chang Ren looked into the distance and said, "Can you see something?"
Seeing that there was only one young man standing in the distance, the young man quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Just shot out of the grave of Mrs. Tai."
A silver light ......"
Chang Ren lost his voice and said, "Come out?" His face was colorless, and his whole body trembled for it.
When the young man saw this, he immediately stopped. But the child clutched his chest and twitched. I saw him clenching his teeth and sweating coldly, looking very painful, but he seemed to be worried that his ancestor would be sad, so he kept silent. Seeing this, Chang Ren's eyes immediately rolled.
Qiu Hong walked slowly and said, "What's wrong?" Chang Ren motioned to the young man to be silent, and the young man nodded knowingly.
Chang Ren said: "Ling Sun may not be able to bear the cold of this place. ”
Qiu Hong pondered: "His snort is so rough, it is clear that he has encountered something shocking, why did he lightly explain this matter." So he crouched down and touched the ground and walked to the child. Soon, he was touching the child's face. As soon as he touched the sweat, he knew it.
He immediately asked, "That man just mentioned the silver light, what is it?" and he touched down the face of Aisun, and soon he was on the right wrist of Aisun.
He quickly knew that the vein of his grandson was very different from the past. He went back and forth to examine Aisun's wrists. Chang Ren kept looking at the child's face, because the child's facial features were twisted into a ball in pain!
Soon, the child had violent convulsions and fell unconscious, and Chang Ren changed color.
Qiu Hong removed his grandson's hands and put his right ear on his grandson's chest.
Soon Qiu Hong sat on the ground and put his hands on Aisun's wrists.
Chang Ren couldn't help but change color again, but the young man could see "foggy rustling", he could be said to be "there is no understanding." This is called "the layman looks at the excitement, the insider looks at the doorway"!
After a long time, Qiu Hong got up and said, "Can you allow your little grandson to lie down for a while?"
"Please," Chang Ren agreed.
Qiu Hong looked at the young man and said, "You just saw the silver light?" The young man couldn't help but look at Chang Ren, but Chang Ren shook his head slightly. Youth poop
"No! The small ones may be dazzled for a while." ”
Qiu Hong pondered: "There is something in Long Kui's body, but they want to hide it, just ask!
Harm. How could he, who has been walking the rivers and lakes for a long time, not know that "people's hearts are separated from their stomachs"?
He immediately said: "Xiao Sun has also been in a coma many times before, just let him lie still, and he will recover slowly, thank you two!"
Chang Ren said: "Do you always need to rest?"
"It's okay! two please!" Chang Ren left immediately.
Qiu Hong sat down and put on Aisun's wrists again. Soon, he secretly said, "How can the veins of Longkui become stronger?" and he cut the veins as he pondered.
In the afternoon, a silver light shot through the child's right ear, and in an instant it had shot into the soil of the right grave. Chang Ren, who had been watching from afar on the left side of the temple, saw it clearly, and he changed color for it.
Soon, he was gone. Qiu Hong was stunned when he heard the sound at first glance. Soon, he immediately felt that the pulse of his beloved grandson was unprecedentedly strong, and this strength was several times higher than that of an hour ago, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Soon after, the child coughed and woke up.
Qiu Hong hurriedly let go and said, "It's hard for you!"
"Grandpa, Long Kui doesn't hurt!"
"Let's get out of here!"
"Okay!" the children came and picked up the bamboo poles. Soon, he had already taken Qiu Hong by the hand.
Xi Hong said: "Thank you for the second grave!"
"Yes!" the child knelt and knocked in the second grave, three and nine times. Qiu Hong solemnly bowed. Then, the two entered the temple and prostrate. After a long time, the two of them started the way. It was more than half an hour before they entered a cafeteria.
