Chapter 164: Make the World a Little Cleaner
Finally, when the two came to the top of the mountain, they found a place to shelter from the wind and rain.
On the top of the mountain, there is a dilapidated mountain temple, and the mountain temple is unevenly scattered around nearly 100 large and small graves. Because of the age, the inscription on the stone tablet in front of the grave is no longer clear.
Only half of the gate of the mountain temple remained, and several holes were exposed in the walls.
There was a musty smell in the temple, the ground was full of fallen leaves blown in by the wind, and the corners and pillars were covered with cobwebs.
In the center, a collapsed statue of the god was covered with a thick layer of dust on the altar in front of the statue.
In the incense bowl on the offering table, there are still three pillars of incense, but only half of them are left, and the color has changed.
If you gently tugged on the monk's robe, she hid behind him and whispered, "I think, let's get out of here......!" I can get through it. ”
felt a Buddha name and comforted: "I'm here, it's okay." ”
"But ......" If you bend your neck and stare timidly around, you always feel that something is watching you nearby.
Feeling calm, he came to the statue that had collapsed for a while and observed, but he didn't see which god was offered here, so he could only fold his hands and confess.
"The little monk travels far away, passing by here, borrow a night temporarily, don't be surprised!"
If you are in a hurry and follow the example of the little monk, fold your hands, bow and worship, and say again and again: "Don't be strange, don't be strange." ”
When the two finished speaking, a gust of wind suddenly blew, blowing half of the temple door open and closing, smashing against the wall with a loud bang.
The dead leaves on the ground were rolled up, cobwebs fluttered in the wind, and choking dust was raised in the temple.
"Ah............h I think, it's bright, it's bright. ”
I felt that I turned my head and looked at the three pillars of incense that suddenly lit up, walked over and snuffed it out.
The moment the incense broke, the wind stopped, the temple gate was quiet, and the dead leaves fell with the dust.
Raising his head and looking around, he felt softly said: "We have borrowed this night, and it is useless if the host's family does not welcome it, so don't use these scaring tricks!
After a long time, there was no movement in the temple, and he turned his head to Ruo and smiled brightly and said, "Look, the host has agreed, and it seems that it is quite hospitable." ”
"Where's the hospitality?" if you want to cry without tears.
I didn't bother with it, but pulled something out of the package.
A wordless scripture, three pillars of incense, and a red candle.
Although I have seen it before, I still don't understand why the little monk always takes a red candle.
After taking out these, I felt that some paper money was cut with yellow paper and pressed copper coins into the four corners of the temple.
I lit the candles, felt that I had gathered some dead leaves, spread them evenly, spread a thin mat on them, and said to Ruo, "Okay, let's sleep here tonight!"
After speaking, he walked out of the temple gate.
When I felt that after lighting the red candle and pressing the paper money, the temple was no longer gloomy, and if I was not so afraid, I sat on the mat and looked at the outside of the temple in a daze.
Then I didn't know what came to mind, I glanced at the red candle, and my face was slightly red.
It was not yet completely dark, and I felt that I had strode into the grave mounds of the mass grave, collecting dead branches and observing the surroundings, occasionally reaching out to dust off the dead branches and leaves on the stone monument.
After a few laps, he felt that he had stopped for a quarter of an hour in front of the largest grave, bowed to the grave, and stretched out his hand to pick up the soil near the tombstone little by little.
After the stele was almost revealed, he smiled slightly and said, "Sure enough." ”
Then he brought the dead branch back to the ruined temple and lit a fire, and hurried back to the largest grave.
Staring at the stone monument that was back to normal, I felt a little headache.
Digging a monument with bare hands is a lot of hard work!
After saying the Buddha's name, I felt that I dug up the stele again, tied a rope made of rags to the stele at one end, wrapped the other end around my waist, and dragged it back to the temple little by little.
By the time he returned to the temple, it was already completely dark.
"What do you think you're doing?" If you feel nervous for a long time, but you just dragged a stone back, you are speechless.
But when she looked closely, she broke out in a cold sweat.
"Why did you drag the tombstone back, and you won't let me sleep at night?!"
I felt a simple smile, and after dodging the hand that wiped my sweat for myself, I wiped it on my face with my sleeve, and replied mysteriously: "It's useful!"
"Hmph!" the action of feeling obviously caused If's dissatisfaction.
"Follow you, not to starve to death, but also to be scared to death by you. "If you mumble, your eyes scratch hard.
"Then if, why don't you go find ......" I felt and scratched my head, and suddenly my voice became louder, "Ah...... Pain Pain Pain Pain ......"
He withdrew his hand in a huff and warned, "If you let me hear this again, you're finished!"
I didn't dare to continue talking, but I just took out the dry food from my pocket and ate it by dividing it by two.
During the day, the weather was still very good, but at night it was cloudy and there was a gust of wind.
The curtain on the idol was torn off to block the hole in the wall, and even the offering table was temporarily "borrowed" by him to block the door.
However, gusts of wind still passed through the cracks, blowing like a hairy heart.
"I think ......" shouted weakly, pulling the corner of the clothes that I felt.
I felt that after receiving the signal, I slapped it back but it was empty.
"Well, I forgot, I moved the offering table. Scratching his head, he felt his face flush, and got up and patted the platform where the statue was seated.
"Hear that, be quiet for a while!"
The idol shuddered, and the wind outside became louder.
He nodded and said to Ruo with a satisfied face: "Don't be afraid, this is just welcoming us!"
If she believed this nonsense, then she must have a bad brain.
"Don't scare me, tell me what you want to do!" If there is already a cry in the voice.
I felt that I was no longer selling off, the corners of my mouth rose, and I said softly: "Let this world be a little cleaner!"
If you were stunned, you quickly whispered: "The two of us don't even have cultivation, you don't want to die?!"
Even though the sound is low enough, it is still heard by the unclean thing.
"Hey, hey, hey......" A strange laugh of gloom came, and the offering table and half of the door blocked at the gate were instantly lifted away.
"I thought you really had some Taoism, so after enduring it for so long, it turned out that you didn't have any cultivation at all!"
"In that case, then you pair of wild mandarin ducks are ready to die!"
