Chapter 5 The New Temple of Mazu
5 Mazu New Temple
I glanced at the blood on the ground and prepared to walk towards the ruined temple. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Far away, just out of the bamboo basket, a fat figure on the opposite side came to meet me, the female boss looked at my hurried figure with a heavy face and said, "Little brother, it's raining so heavily, where are you going?" Besides, it will be dark after a while, and this is located in the middle of the mountains, and it is easy for you newcomers to get lost. ”
This was a good intention, and I immediately replied with a smile: "It's okay." Just go out and walk around, and if you really get lost, I'll call you. With that, I went out.
The moment I went out, I turned back with a feeling. I saw that the chubby boss was walking upstairs, and she was followed by a cute little boy. Before, because the boss was wide and fat, he couldn't see the slightest figure of the child, but at this time, it seemed that the little boy was wet, could it be that he had just come back from the rain.
With this question in mind, I plunged into the rain, and the cold raindrops kept slapping on my cheeks from the opposite side. Lao Yang is in danger, and the situation is critical and does not allow me to walk slowly. The footsteps moved quickly on the steps, and there was a constant rattling sound among the bamboo leaves, and the sky gradually darkened.
After running for less than twenty minutes, a building suddenly appeared in front of me. A huge incense burner was placed in the central square, and three thick yellow incense sticks were constantly smoking, and even the humid air could not contain the burning of the incense. The square is spread out with white stone slabs, and there is a constant flow of water flowing through the cracks, and it is surrounded by thick green bamboo.
At the end of the square, a red building comes into view. The building was seven or eight points similar to the ruined temple that Gillian had entered before, but it was at least twice as large in size. Could it be the hallucination of fighting corpses that I experienced before? With such a thought in my mind, I kept approaching the front.
The vermilion doorway of this temple is flanked by two strange statues, a unicorn carved in red sandstone on the left, and a pixiu carved in gray-white limestone on the right. What does this mean exactly? I have never seen or heard of two different kinds of mythical beasts placed in the same doorway.
At this moment, the door opened, and an old Taoist priest poked his head out of the door. Seeing that I was obviously stunned, I then said: "I don't know where the layman came from, this Mazu Temple has been closed, if you still want to offer incense, please come back tomorrow morning." ”
"Nope. I don't make incense, I just want to come and find something. I had walked down the road up the hill and then I had come to a temple, but it was very deserted. But now...... I can't find that place anymore. I said, watching his reflection carefully. The corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously at the mention of temples and desolation, but they quickly hid themselves.
The old Taoist priest said to me again: "The layman laughed. The reason why this bamboo mountain is famous all over the world is because of the existence of this Mazu temple. Zhushan is one of the top ten seaports in Guangxi, and the Mazu Temple is full of incense. Please also ask the layman not to whisper. ”
I looked at this old Taoist priest, no matter how I looked at it, I was so unhappy. But at this time, I was ready to ask for help, so I had to lower my posture and suppress the anger in my heart. "Dao Chief, someone in my family is critically ill, and some masters say that the illness is related to the broken temple I have seen before, and I need to take out a medicine primer from it. Please also ask the Taoist chief to be accommodating and tell me where to go? "I really don't have any excuses, so I can only put the title of superior on Gillian's head, and then take out my few red hairy grandfathers from my pocket.
When the old Taoist priest saw the renminbi in his hand, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and the deep folds began to bloom. "It seems that the layman has a relationship with Mazu, and he has visited Mazu Temple before. The old Tao will tell you that the broken temple in the layman's words is actually not barren, but the Mazu Temple before the 70s, and then the country was turbulent, and the cultural relics and monuments were destroyed and destroyed. The temple was so shabby that the Mazu Temple was later built under the auspices of the local government that Lao Dao now lives. ”
"How can you get there?" I asked busily.
The old Taoist priest pointed to the bamboo grove on the side, and I saw that the bamboo there was actually tilted to the sides, revealing a quiet path in the center that could allow a person to pass through. I didn't care about entangling with this old fellow here any longer, so I turned and ran there. But suddenly there was a force behind me that held me in place.
When I looked back, I saw the old Taoist priest looking at me with a smile and saying, "Layman, the merit is immeasurable. "People say it so clearly, if I don't understand it, it's really an elm head. He shoved the few renminbi in his hand, turned around and ran towards the trail.
By this time, it was slowly getting dark, and the path looked much grayer. If you delay for a few more minutes, you may not even be able to see the road under your feet when you get into this bamboo forest. Just as I stepped on the path, the voice of the old Taoist priest came from behind: "Layman, please remember that Mazu will always be here to protect you." ”
What nonsense is this ******, Mazu is here to guard. Isn't Mazu the god of the sea? Isn't God everywhere? This old Taoist priest didn't even know this, and the appearance of seeing Qian was simply a complete miser.
Such people are not worthy of waiting in the Mazu Temple, I thought so, and ran on the path for a while. The surrounding bamboo leaves kept scratching over the body, and large raindrops fell on the scalp on the top of the head, bringing a burst of coolness. I don't know how long I walked, the sky was completely dark, I could only see less than a meter in front of me, and when I turned around, I found that the road behind me had disappeared.
Everything seems so weird, the road in front of him can be seen less than a meter, and I don't know what is waiting on the road ahead. And if you want to go back, there is a bamboo behind you, and the scattered and dense bamboo knots bury all the roads in the depths of the jungle.
Could it be that he strayed into some strange formation? In ancient legends, there are many about the bamboo forest formation. In fact, I have always been skeptical of these so-called formations. But at this time, I couldn't allow me to think wildly, not only did I not find a broken temple to solve Lao Yang's problem, but I even trapped myself here.
At this time, it would be nice for Cousin Key to be around, and its strange nose must be able to smell in the right direction.
A gust of wind blew from the path ahead, and the bamboo forest rattled. A sudden burst of sweat on the back is purely a physiological reaction, as the road ahead is unknown. People, for the unknown, are always full of fear.
I touched my forehead, it was cold, and I didn't know if it was rain or cold sweat.
