Chapter 1: There are gods in the head
Boom——!
The fluttering spring rain came, and in the faint sunlight, it fell on the mountains and rivers.
It was a clear sky rain, but it was rare to see a few muffled thunders.
In the mountains and forests, Li Yin carried a hiking bag on his back, and from here he could see that somewhere in the distant sky was still blue.
The rain would not stop soon, but the thunder always made him a little uneasy.
When I was scrolling through the news on my mobile phone, I could always see some unlucky people who were struck by lightning when climbing the mountain, he was not so bold, and it was better to be cautious in what he did.
He came out alone, hoping to camp in the mountains and watch the stars at night in the mountains, far from the metropolis.
I also checked the weather forecast and confirmed that there had been no rain in the last few days.
Obviously, this weather forecast is not so accurate.
At this point, he was about to reach the top of the mountain, and he had to turn back a little.
Because halfway through, he saw a small temple built in the forest, such a nameless mountain, why there is such a small temple that no one cares about, he really couldn't help his curiosity, and planned to go over to take a look, just to avoid this spring rain like a rain.
Put on your hat and walk carefully on the mountain road.
The mountain road is in disrepair and very steep.
It was very tiring to walk up the mountain, and it was obviously not easy to go down the mountain, but fortunately, it was not far away, and it didn't take long to arrive.
The green tiles and red walls are still dripping with rainwater on the tiles, dripping on the stones on the ground.
This should be a temple, Li Yin thinks so.
The sign hanging in the doorway is gone, and there are still scattered cobwebs under the eaves.
Even when Li Yin approached, he saw a large black spider on the spider web, guarding the dilapidated temple like a door god.
Although spiders are beneficial insects, many spiders are poisonous, and he has not learned about them, so this spider is very dangerous for him.
Although he wanted to pick it out with a stick when he saw the cobweb, it was obviously wrong.
Looking at the red walls around him, the walls were not high, and he could even see inside from the outside wall.
Still deciding to bypass the door god, he stepped on the pile of stones scattered around the red wall, and jumped into the temple while promising that he would not fall because of the moss on the stones.
This temple is really small.
There is no backyard, only a small space in the front yard, and there is a well in the corner, and there is a wooden barrel next to the well, and the sound of the rain falling in it can be ticked.
There were droplets of water dripping down from the high cornices, Li Yin wanted to go in to avoid the rain, his clothes were already a little wet, although this kind of clothes had some waterproof effects, but when they were stained with water, they were also stuffy.
But before Li Yin opened the door, the quaint door was pushed open.
This startled Li Yin for a moment, took a step back, and then he saw an old man wearing a red robe, he was holding a broom in his hand, and when he saw Li Yin, a kind smile appeared on his thin cheeks, and he looked a little sickly, as if he had just had a serious illness.
And he said, "Son, if you want to take shelter from the rain, go in." ”
Li Yin was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect that there would be people here, and he didn't enter here without the permission of others, and he didn't even knock on the door.
Hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't know there was a ...... here."
It should be, live, right?
Li Yin looked at the clothes worn by the old man in red, a bit like the clothes in a costume drama, and he didn't feel like a modern person at all.
This barren mountain and wild forest is a little strange.
But the old man gave Li Yin a feeling that he was very kind, he should be the kind of person who was easy to deal with, he said: "It doesn't matter, my temple is a little smaller, but it is still enough to shelter people from the rain, not to mention, the meaning of the existence of the eaves, isn't it just for us to shelter from the wind and rain." ”
"Thank you. ”
Li Yin thanked him and stood under the eaves, beside the high wooden threshold, looking at the scenery outside.
The light rain was still fluttering, and a beautiful rainbow passed through the clouds until the distance, this scenery was like a picture scroll, which made Li Yin feel a little relaxed.
The spring rain in the city is foggy, and the dark sky there is always sprinkled with noisy rain.
When he turned his gaze back, he saw the old man, carrying a bucket of water from the well, drawing water from the well.
Looking at his thin body, it really didn't match the barrel.
Li Yin glanced inside the temple, untied his backpack and threw it at the door, and walked towards the old man in the rain.
"Uncle, let me help you!"
Li Yin took a few steps faster, ran to the old man's side, and helped him pull the barrel out of the well.
At this time, Li Yin noticed that the well water turned out to be a stagnant water, and the water in the well should have been accumulated in the rain, not too full, but it could be scooped up.
In that case, this uncle may not live here.
Li Yin's enthusiasm was not refused, he took the barrel in his hand and used one hand.
At this time, you should show your masculinity, and you don't look handsome enough with two hands, although there is only one uncle among the onlookers.
However, the old man just looked at him with a smile and followed him into the small temple.
Sure enough, as Li Yin thought, this is indeed not a place to live, the hall is full of dust, only a pile of garbage swept together on the ground.
Li Yin scratched his head and asked, "Uncle, are you going to clean up?"
"Well, there's a rag here. ”
He walked to the side and took out two rags, Li Yin didn't expect that this uncle was really not polite at all.
But since you're sheltering from the rain here, it's nothing to help with some work.
Without saying a word, he got busy.
There is only one statue of a god in the temple, and an old man is carved looking ahead, and there are two half-burned incense sticks inserted in the quaint incense burner under the statue, which have been extinguished.
While wiping the dust, Li Yin asked, "Which immortal is it here?"
The old man also swept the floor with a broom, and after listening to Li Yin's question, he suddenly laughed as if he was laughing at himself: "Where is there any fairy, it's just a bad old man who no one cares about." ”
Li Yin doesn't like to hear this.
He pursed his lips and weighed whether his words would make the old man angry and drive him out.
He still said: "Uncle, even if you don't like him, you can't say that...... How can it be said that there is a temple and incense, it is also a god, and if you are disrespectful to the gods, you will be punished by God. ”
"Yo?" the uncle glanced at Li Yin in surprise and said, "I see that you are quite young, do you also believe that there are gods in this world......?"
However, Li Yin raised his head and gave him an unexpected explanation, only to see him wave his hand and say: "I don't believe in God, I am blessed by science and society, and my idol is the dragon seat of my country!"
The old man raised his hand to the idol and said, "If you don't believe it, why do you defend him?"
Li Yin withdrew his gaze, but the work in his hand did not stop.
"Even if there is no god in this world, you can not believe in God, you can not worship Buddha, but you must not forget the awe of them, this is what my grandmother said." ”
"If you don't believe in gods and Buddhas, but you have to fear gods and Buddhas, do you believe that they will bring you any benefits?"
The old man continued to ask.
Li Yin replied: "You are too realistic, there are gods three feet above your head, remember this to make yourself try not to make mistakes, not to do evil things, the gods and Buddhas will not give you benefits, but as long as you believe that you will be punished when you do evil, you can maintain a pure and kind heart, although ...... It sounds superstitious, but it's not a bad thing, is it?"
The old man looked at Li Yin squatting on the ground, rubbing the table legs of the desk, and there seemed to be some brilliance flashing in his eyes.
muttered to himself, "There is a god three feet above your head...... Is it?"
