Chapter 290: Tang Jing

Since the world is decided, Meng Ge no longer has any scruples. After resting www.biquge.info the night, he took Meng Mao and went to the residence of the yellow cripple to ask for an auspicious day.

The yellow cripple was really a cripple, and his left leg looked shorter and smaller than his right leg, and he twisted to the side in an otherwise state.

Mongo knew at a glance that it was a symptom of polio. But this yellow cripple is just like an ordinary person except for the lame.

Looking at the Taoist robes all over his body, Meng Ge knew what this person's religious beliefs were.

Taoism is an ancient traditional sect of the Celestial Empire. Even if Meng Ge has not studied this, he believes that the so-called auspicious day of the zodiac has its own theory.

Huang Cripple looked at the faces of his sister and brother for a while, and explained to him according to the eight characters of Meng Lang's birth date given by Meng Ge, as well as the eight characters of her and Meng Mao's birthday, etc., and then waited for the results of his calculation.

Huang Cripple glanced at the eight characters and said, "You are a female baby, I'm afraid this matter won't help much." However, my parents are the eldest sons, so I am afraid that I can collect the bodies of your parents instead of you. ”

Huang Cripple's words made Meng Ge stunned for a moment, and then he responded with a smile, and asked Meng Mao what to pay attention to at that time.

Huang Cripple said some things that should be paid attention to that day, and specially accentuated the word eldest son of Meng Lang and his wife, and then turned the book to count the days.

Meng Ge smiled bitterly and looked at Meng Mao, who looked ignorant.

Where is her eldest brother, Meng Mao's brother, and the eldest son of Meng Lang and his wife, she still has no eyebrows.

As a result, the task of collecting the corpses of his parents all fell on Meng Mao.

"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job. Meng Mao patted his small chest and said.

After being in the army for so many years, Meng Mao can still face those fragmented corpses calmly, so why not be afraid of the corpses of his parents that have already become bones.

Meng Ge also knew that Meng Mao could do a good job, but he was worried that he would be tired when the time came, and he would have to clean the bones of the couple and place the coffin.

Meng Mao shook his little head and said, "It won't be more tiring than training in the barracks." Sister, you can leave it all to me. ”

Meng Ge rubbed Meng Mao's head with satisfaction and said, "Okay, our Meng Mao is the best." ”

Huang Cripple counted the days when the two sisters and brothers spoke.

"There have been four good days lately, one of which was six days later, on the twenty-eighth of August. The rest is the 9th, 15th and 23rd of the next month, and you can watch the progress of the preparation and choose the date. Huang Cripple calculated the date and said.

If you have an auspicious day, you have to ask for the auspicious time again. This is a complicated process, and Huang Cripple was afraid that the two sisters and brothers would not be able to remember, so he wrote it down carefully.

"If you don't know how to read, then show it to the master of the practice. The yellow cripple handed over the four pieces of paper.

Meng Mao respectfully took the paper, carefully folded it and received it in his arms.

When the matter was done, the sister and brother got up and said goodbye, gave Huang Cripple a gold ingot of ten taels, and left.

Huang Cripple looked at the gold ingot on the table, and said to himself: "The ability of the daughter, the partial life of the man to do the man's business, I am afraid that the marriage will be difficult in the future." ”

Before Huang Cripple finished speaking, as soon as the curtain of the door that he had figured out in the back room moved, a four or five-year-old junior ran over, slapped the gold ingot on the table into his arms, and said, "Mother said that she could eat." ”

The yellow lame man touched the child's head lovingly and asked, "Are all the big characters written today?"

Xiao'er smiled proudly and took Huang Cripple's hand, watched Huang Cripple prop up the crutch to the other armpit, and then said, "I have already finished writing." My mother said that my father had a guest, so I didn't come. ”

As he spoke, they went into the inner room. Soon, a woman's soft exclamation came from inside the room. "Where did this gold ingot come from?"

The child was the fastest, and returned for the yellow lame: "It was given by Dad's guest." This time Dad made a lot of money. ”

Huang Cripple looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, smiled at her gently, and after sitting on the edge of the kang, he picked up Xiao'er and put it beside him, and then said, "Let you two women and children suffer with me." ”

The woman set the dishes and chopsticks, raised her sleeve and wiped a handful of tears, and said with a satisfied smile: "I don't feel bitter." It's you, for the sake of our mother and son, but you have lost your reputation. ”

After that, Meng Ge didn't listen to it anymore, took Meng Mao down the roof, and rode directly to the ancient temple that Ding hated Meng said.

The ancient temple, on a hill eight miles west of the city, is surrounded by towering ancient trees, and the blue-gray walls and reddish-brown glazed tiles loom among the shadows of the trees.

The scale of the ancient temple is not large, but it is a real ancient temple. Looking at the mottled walls, as well as the faded wooden pillars, doors and windows, I don't think it will be a hundred years, I am afraid that such an effect will not be achieved.

However, it is such a small temple, but it can be as stable as Mount Tai in this troubled world, and there is a reason for it.

The gate of the ancient temple is not guarded, as Ding Hate Meng said, as long as someone is willing to walk in, then they will enter and exit freely.

However, except for the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Moon Cave Gate in other places is guarded by special monks, and outsiders are not allowed to enter easily.

The Daxiong Treasure Hall is not dedicated to a single god. This hall is the largest and most neat place in the entire temple.

In addition to the main hall, there are many side halls, which enshrine various gods and gods that people want to worship.

Meng Ge took Meng Spear and tied the horse to the tethered horse stake at the gate of the temple, and then entered the main hall with the vegetarian snacks prepared by the General's Mansion, as well as steamed bread and fruits.

Meng Ge didn't know what kind of god was enshrined in the main hall, but there were a lot of sacrifices on the altar.

The two siblings consulted the monks on the side for instructions, and then put the things they brought on the altar.

I thought that the things I brought were already good, but I didn't want all the things here to be exquisite and complete that outsiders could imagine.

After lighting the incense and bowing three times and nine knocks, the sister and brother came to fill in the sesame oil money, and then asked the monk who was guarding the sign holder about the coffin.

"The donor can wait here first, and the little monk will go and ask the senior brother first. The monk folded his hands and chanted the Buddha's horn.

Meng Ge also said "Amitabha", and sat on the futon on the side with Meng Mao and waited.

After a short time, the monk brought a middle-aged monk who was a little short and stocky.

After the monk met with the Meng Ge sisters and brothers, he asked, "I don't know whose coffin you want to keep, why, and what great things have you done in your life?"

As soon as Meng Ge heard it, he knew that this temple was still very well-behaved, which may be the reason why this temple has always existed.

"Master host, what we want to store is our parents. Our parents ...... Meng Ge unreservedly told the deeds of Meng Lang and his wife's life, and also informed the monks of the cause of death.

After hearing this, the monk regretfully recited a symbol, and read a scripture with the monk who kept the signature, and then agreed to the matter of the Meng Ge sister and brother to put the coffin.
