Chapter Fifty-Nine: True Martial Temple!
"You're asking about the temple? You're really asking the right person about this! I was a teenager at the time, and this incident still haunts our generation and the older generation. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It was not long after the Cultural Revolution began, 65 years. We half-sized children had to eat or not to eat at that time, to wear or not, all day long when we had time to go up the mountain to pick birds and small animals, if we could pick some wild fruits, dig some edible tubers, it would be an unexpected joy! Speaking of which, Liu Hongjun's eyes were a little illusory, obviously, his memory brought him back to that passionate and black and white years!
"It was supposed to be late autumn, I remember it well. The sky and the earth were yellow, and the breeze had begun to bring a chill. Just when a dozen and a half children from one of our villages came back from the mountain, we saw a group of Red Guards wearing red armbands escorting Grandpa Wanshui to the Phoenix Beauty Tree. Oh, the phoenix beauty tree is the big umbrella-like tree at the head of the village. ”
"I followed the adults to squeeze under the big tree, and I heard those Red Guards say that I realized that it was because Grandpa Wanshui showed people feng shui fortune-telling, saying that he was superstitious and confusing the public, so he was arrested and criticized. At that time, many things were untouched, and just like that, Grandpa Wanshui only suffered for three days before swallowing his last breath. Alas! It's a pity, if Grandpa Wanshui's knowledge is put to the present, if he is not a master of easy learning, then at least it is no worse than those professors! ”
"We thought that Grandpa Wanshui would be able to live a peaceful life after that, but we didn't expect the production captain to receive a notice from above, saying that he was going to demolish all the temples of his subordinates. There is only one temple in our village, and the history is unknown, and even the genealogical records say that it was built before Wagyu. Originally, the village was not going to go, but a few days later, several Red Guards gathered two people with the same leadership to inspect the work. At that time, the captain explained that he was not allowed to talk about the existence of a temple. But a child accidentally leaked his mouth, if it weren't for the villagers begging, the captain would have almost been taken away for criticism! ”
"In this way, those two leader-like people took away the young people in the village and planned to tear down the temple! Officer Zhou is very discerning, that temple is indeed not a mountain temple, but a temple of the True Martial Emperor! The old man has passed it down from generation to generation, saying that the reason why this temple was built here is to suppress the evil black dragon! Whoever hears this will not believe it, except for one person, the dead Grandpa Wanshui! Sometimes he drank too much and would tell us about it. It is said that there is a bottomless black hole under the cliff of the back mountain, and there is no grass within a radius of ten meters, and birds and beasts are close to death! Of course, none of us went to see it. First, that place is indeed surrounded by cliffs on three sides, one side is a bluestone slope, which is very slippery, don't think about coming up if you go down! Second, if the parents know, their feet will be broken. When I grow up, my curiosity slowly dissipates, and I won't go. ”
"Oh? There is also a bottomless deep hole in the back mountain? Zhou Yu was taken aback, could it be that the mysterious beam of light he saw last night was emitted from the deep hole?
"Well, there are many legends about bottomless black holes. You can ask two elderly people at random, and they can tell you about a day and a night without repeating. Among them, there was a Grandpa Wanshui who said the most at that time. It is said that this temple was built by a generous scholar of the Qin Dynasty, and this true martial temple is to suppress the demon dragon in the bottomless black hole! Of course, the people in the village have always regarded the true martial god as a god who distinguishes between right and wrong, and is jealous and hateful! In the past, people from ten miles and eight villages would come to offer incense, and the incense was very prosperous! After saying that, the village chief's face became religious!
"Uh, that, why didn't you tear it down later?" , Zhou Yu only listened to a story in his heart.
"Just when the leaders of the two Red Guards took everyone to the Zhenwu Temple and destroyed the two guard statues of the Zhenwu Emperor, the clear sky suddenly rolled black clouds, and the heavens and the earth fell into darkness in less than half an hour! The bottomless black hole in the back mountain made a shocking sound like a mountain and a tsunami, and the sound spread for ten miles! At that time, we were frightened, and the old people even said that they had broken the idol and angered the true god! Those Red Guards were also frightened, and they ran away in a panic, and since then, no one has come here, but they have passed that time steadily! Later, our captain went to the district for a meeting, and I heard that the two leaders who commanded the demolition of the temple died one after another after returning back! Thank you to the great god of martial arts for bless the villagers! Liu Hongjun said to Zhou Yu with emotion.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu, I know almost everything I should know. I'll take my leave! Zhou Yu stood up and thanked him.
"Walk slowly, if you need help, just mention it." , Liu Hongjun sent Zhou Yu out of the gate and said loudly.
Zhou Yu waved his hand at the old man, and walked towards the west of the village according to his instructions just now. He's going to go to the only ethnic minority here, the Tom family, which is also the first resident of Xueyou Village!
"Hello Uncle!" , knocked on the door, and saw the middle-aged and elderly white-haired man in front of him who was about forty or fifty years old, Zhou Yu greeted politely.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" , The white-haired man looked at Zhou Yu with some vigilance.
"You're from the Thom tribe? Can I ask you something? ”
"Well, I'm from the Thom tribe. Please come in. The man saw that Zhou Yu was very kind, and finally let him in.
"This is my wife, this is my grandson, the child is working outside, and he won't be coming back this year! My name is Tom Aller, and you can call me Uncle Aller. Tom Ale asked his wife to make a cup of tea and handed it to Zhou Yu, and the two sat by the fire.
"Uncle Ale, I heard that this village is your Thom family?" , Zhou Yu asked curiously.
"That's right! From generation to generation, our family hid in the troubled times of the late Tang Dynasty to escape the war. There are several other societies out there that are all Thomu. Ale nodded and told Zhou Yu.
"That temple, do your ancestors have any words handed down?" , Zhou Yu asked again.
"There are some things that can't be offended, what can't be defiled in the heart, and so on. We Thom have our own gods, although we don't worship, but we won't talk nonsense! Thom Al said frankly.
"Have you seen anything interesting happen in the last few days? Or is it nearly half a year or a year? Zhou Yu and Ale chatted gossip.
As the chat deepened, Zhou Yu found that Ale was very talkative. Obviously, it has to be his appetite to make people open up the conversation.
When the farewell came out, it was already the time of the sunset.
On the way back, Zhou Yu saw a red figure flash around the corner of a house. By the time he reached the corner of the room, the man had disappeared except for two messy footprints. Zhou Yu looked left and right, didn't care, stepped on the snow, and walked away!
As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Li Zhihai hurriedly came out of the conference room with excitement on his face.
