Chapter 14: Paper Figures
It was still that prosperous bluestone street, and passers-by couldn't help but stop and hope to take another look while walking past the white-clothed figure. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After all, the appearance of such a woman is rare to meet in life, and after seeing it clearly, I have a lot of confidence to talk about it.
"Gollum!"
"Sister, are you sure you have to follow the previous route again, what should you do if you run into that sedan chair again?"
Luo Xiaojiu leaned next to Mo Wushuang, looking at his face was obviously quite frightened, and when he saw the well-behaved Lin Rumeng on the side, he naturally stayed away a little further.
"It's okay, this time I have asked Lord Shaoqing to pay attention to it secretly, if the previous situation reappears, we will definitely get through the catastrophe without danger while obtaining clues. ā
"What's more, if you can face the demons in your heart, maybe you will go further in your skills as Shaoqing said......"
At the same time, Mo Wushuang was also trying to soothe his nervousness, and from the moment the snow-white lotus boots stepped on the bluestone street, his whole spirit was in a highly tense state.
It's just that some "people" may not have such a long memory as Mo Wushuang......
"Sister, are we going to buy candy man first?"
is worthy of the foodie Luo Xiaojiu, the moment he walked on the road, he locked on the target, and immediately stretched out his hand to Mo Wushuang to ask for a copper plate, and his little face looked like he should have been.
"Didn't we eat rock sugar gourd last time?"
"No! It's definitely a sugar man, it must be my sister, you remember it wrong, and even later you gave up your sugar man to Luo Xiaojiu!"
Well, in order to reproduce the original route at that time, Mo Wushuang could only reluctantly buy three sugar figures, and then led the two satisfied dolls at the same time, but stopped in front of the clothing store on the street.
After all, the last time I walked here, I was bewitched by the old lady to visit Daqin Temple, so this place is also a key hub.
"There's no one in there?"
"Sister, do you think paper people count?"
Looking into the house, Mo Wushuang once again saw the cloth like flowers, and at the same time, he saw two paper figures in Tsing Yi of the same height made by the old woman last time.
And until this time, Mo Wushuang inexplicably felt that the appearance of the paper man was very similar to the ghost boy he had experienced, so he tentatively touched it, but inexplicably felt that the weight of this paper man was extremely heavy!
It's as if there's really a little doll in the palm of your hand!
"Ahem, ahem!"
"Yo, isn't this the beautiful girl who came last time, and what beautiful clothes do you want to make, so you brought your two children to look for the old woman?"
The familiar old lady walked out of the inner room with a cigarette pouch, and when she saw Mo Wushuang and the three of them, she was slightly stunned, so she quickly smiled and motioned for the three of them to sit down and rest.
"I actually want to thank you for coming this time, after all, the last time we left here, we did encounter the entanglement of the ghost sedan chair, but fortunately, my mother-in-law reminded us to wear the sigil of the Great Qin Temple, otherwise we would have fallen at the entrance of the alley!"
It's okay not to mention it, hearing this, a fine light flashed in the old lady's eyes at this moment, and she immediately pulled Mo Wushuang to sit at the table, and then while making tea and entertaining her, Luo Xiaojiu frowned under the tasting.
"Fortunately, the girl is a person who knows how to lift, and the family did not listen to the old woman before it encountered an accident, you see that now the paper man is going to be burned to the underworld as a child, and the pain of the two families is the best example!"
"Well, what my mother-in-law said is very true, now that I think about Wushuang, I also feel that day is really thrilling, if it weren't for God's blessing to meet you in advance, I'm afraid that today I will have to bother you to tie three more paper figures!"
Mo Wushuang and the old lady echoed, which led to the latter's pride, and at the same time, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the direction of the two paper figures, and took the opportunity to express the doubts in his heart.
However, Fang Cai Wushuang touched the two paper figures and was a little puzzled, I don't know... Why are you so heavy?"
Hearing this, the old lady's expression was obviously stunned, and then she looked up at Mo Wushuang's pretty face, and at the same time, she knocked on the cigarette pouch twice and smiled.
"It is full of tobacco-ash mixed with the internal organs of beasts, plus the old woman's secret secrets, it should be more effective than ordinary paper figures when sent to the underworld. ā
"Therefore, it is natural for you to say that it is heavy, after all, these dolls are made of real materials!"
Good guy! Mo Wushuang thought that there were beast internal organs and other things inside, and he almost vomited out the morning's meal, and immediately wiped it on the tablecloth covertly twice, and then continued to laugh dryly.
"How do you know it's going to be more effective than a regular paper figure?"
"Hehe, when I heard that the little girl just wanted to trick the old woman, but it doesn't matter if you know, after all, you can do this, and there is no one else in the entire Chang'an City except the old woman!"
Another cup of tea was handed to Mo Wushuang, who just wanted to take it to moisten his throat, but Luo Xiaojiu snatched it and drank it on the side, which caused Mo Wushuang to make a difference, and at the same time made the old lady open her mouth and laugh.
"Do you know why people who have been kidnapped by ghost sedan chairs in these places will look for old women to tie paper figures? It's not just because of the materials inside!"
"The old woman was an old friend of Master Aroben of Daqin Temple in the early years, so she got an oracle in private, saying that every first day and fifteenth day of the new year is to go to Daqin Temple to consecrate the paper figures. ā
"Master Aroben has to carve the sigil and send it to the cemetery to burn it before the children of the underworld can get what they want. ā
"Of course, these girls must think that they can't be believed, but he was the master of Emperor Taizong when he was in power, do you think Emperor Taizong of Yingming I would look at the wrong person?"
After all, according to historical records, since the entry of Rome, the Great Qin Temple has been highly valued by Emperor Taizong, among which the status of Aroben in the court was even lower than the current Heavenly Master Li Chunfeng for a period of time!
"Therefore, Master Aroben's establishment of the Great Qin Temple in Chang'an City is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and you must have been there once before to see his tolerance for all believers. ā
"And today is the old woman who has just returned from Daqin Temple, and later closed the shop and went to the cemetery with her family to burn paper people, which... Would you like to take a look?"
The old lady's gaze was not as muddy as ordinary people, but on the contrary, she stared at the bottom of Mo Wushuang's heart, but she inexplicably had a feeling of hair, and after repeatedly shirking the old lady's invitation, Mo Wushuang bought some more cloth, and then fled from the clothing store in a panic.
At the same time, as the two dolls go farther and farther away......
"Why did you snatch my teacup?"
"The taste is not right, it is not an ordinary flower tea, Xiao Jiu can vaguely smell the smell of mandala pollen from it. ā
Mo Wushuang nodded when he heard this, and after secretly writing it down in his heart, he continued to walk in the direction of Daqin Temple......
