The rest of his life is not a stingy person, so he led the master and apprentice to the place at the moment, served tea, and asked the two to wait.

He had just left a portion of the meal in the back, which was originally intended for the Heavenly Master to eat with himself, and now it was just right for the little monk to quench his hunger first.

It's just that after returning to the back kitchen, Yu Sheng saw that the dishes on the pot table were empty, except for some residues.

There was also a door in the backyard in the back kitchen, the door was open, and the rest of my life poked my head out, but there was nothing to see. ，

Yu Sheng couldn't help scratching his head, "Is there a mouse?"

Ignoring these pursuits, Yu Sheng threw the plate aside and didn't use it, and quickly burned another one and served it.

After the little monk saw the green vegetables, there was nothing else in his big eyes, and his saliva flowed out.

After serving it on the table, the old monk folded his hands and thanked him for the rest of his life, and the little monk immediately feasted.

The voice of the system also sounded at the right time: the host is willing to give, and the merit is worth ten points.

I was happy for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect that I would get more merit points for helping others than for daily tasks.

Li Zheng turned his head, bowed his hand to the old monk, and asked, "I don't know where the master comes from?"

The old monk raised his eyebrows, "Oh, the old monk is the abbot of the Xishan Temple. ”

Everyone was shocked.

Xishan is a mountain in the sea of bamboo in the west of the bridge, next to the uphill avenue, about half a day's journey from the town.

There used to be a temple on the west mountain, and the incense was once vigorous, and the villagers in the town often went to burn incense to restore.

But after the death of the powerful host, the temple was rumored to be monsters, and the monks died and fled, and soon became deserted.

There are many rumors about the ruined temple in the village.

Legend has it that at night, the temple lights up to lure passers-by to stay and kill them.

Before Yu Sheng was born, some gentlemen in Yangzhou City came to the town after hearing the rumors.

They settled in the inn and set off for the ruined temple in the middle of the night, preparing to break into the temple and subdue the monsters to eliminate the harm for the people, but in the end they never returned.

This matter was said by the old man for the rest of his life, and it shouldn't be fake.

Since then, the townspeople have rarely entered the bamboo forest.

Now everyone listens to the old monk coming down from the West Mountain, can't help but be surprised and suspicious, if it weren't for the sword bag on the archway to support the waist, he would have run away.

Li Zheng said carefully: "There is only one temple on the west mountain, and it has been abandoned for a long time. ”

The old monk nodded, "Yes, my master and apprentice traveled to Xishan yesterday, and saw a broken temple, so they cleaned up the power to make a place to stay." ”

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master, there are monsters in that temple. Aunt Ma was straightforward and reminded the old monk.

The old monk nodded and said: "Donor, don't worry, a scholar passed by yesterday and drove away all the demon beasts in the temple." ”

Everyone suddenly realized that the matter of the painting fairy passing by yesterday had been spread all over the town.

The old monk paused, and then said: "The old monk also has some exorcism skills, if there is a need in the future, but ask for instructions." ”

When everyone heard this, they thanked each other. Aunt Ma even said that when the Zhuhai is too peaceful, she must go to the Xishan Temple to burn incense and make a wish.

She was a regular visitor to the Xishan Temple when she was young, and this statement is not false.

Speaking of burning incense and making a wish, Li Zheng suddenly asked Yu Sheng: "Have you brought this green vegetable to the shrine for the city lord to taste?"

Because the sword fairy blessed the town, about twenty or thirty years ago, the town built a shrine to worship the lord of Yangzhou City.

In the town, whenever there is any happy event, what game is caught, and what is delicious, a copy must be offered to the shrine.

Yu Sheng was stunned when he heard this, and said: "The city lord, her old man, has a lot of fish and meat all day long, and she must not be used to eating this green vegetable." ”

"Who said that?" Aunt Ma disagreed, "When the shrine was first built, my mother enshrined the freshly steamed nest in the shrine. ”

Her eyebrows fluttered and she said, "Later, when the city lord Edgeworth flew through the town, he specially came down to ask my mother for a few nests to eat. ”

The town knows all the stories.

When the third son was just walking back and was still peeing in front of Aunt Ma'er in open crotch pants, he had been conveyed three times by Aunt Ma.

So much so that the first thing the little third son said was not to call his father, but to the head of the nest.

Yu Sheng sat aside and couldn't help but say, "She's old enough to be greedy." ”

"Huh!" everyone's eyes were fixed on Yu Sheng.

"Smack!" the back of Yu Sheng's head immediately suffered, "You stinky boy, dare to arrange the city lord." Li Zheng said.

Yu Sheng covered his head and fled, "I was wrong, I was wrong, I will burn it seriously and send it to her old man, whether it will be successful." ”

Li Zheng put down his hand at this time, "By the way, don't forget to send some to the shrine next to you." ”

Yu Sheng asked him, "What kind of god is that?"

"Saturnalia or Ceres, I don't remember exactly. Li Zheng said.

The temple is small, and it is estimated that the person dedicated to it is not a big god.

Just after noon, the weather was hot.

Yu Sheng packed two plates of vegetables and a small jar of wine in a food box, left them in the inn to cool off, and walked to the east of the town.

There are not many people on the street, only a few bareback children, playing under the jujube trees.

Seeing Yu Sheng, they came around, "Brother Sheng, Brother Sheng, what is delicious." ”

"Go, go, go, this is for the lord of the city. Yu Sheng pushed them away, "You guys don't go to the river to play." ”

They nodded, and the oldest of them, the skiniest, and the bunched boy said, "Let's go to the lake." ”

"Hey, Baozi, are you looking for a fight? The rest of his life grabbed him by the ear.

"No, no. Baozi shook his head hurriedly.

Only then did he let him go, and after a few more words, he walked towards the shrine.

The shrine is at the east end of the town, and behind the temple is an endless lake.

There is a tall ginkgo tree in front of the shrine, paved with bluestone on the left and right, and four large pillars surrounded by three people support a clean and bright temple.

Next to the shrine, the humble little temple is shabby.

It was less than a quarter the length and width of the shrine, and its roof was overgrown with vasson, and there was grass growing in front of the door.

Only when Li Zheng came to clean up during the New Year's holiday, few people went in at other times, and he never went in for the rest of his life.

He went to the shrine and placed the offerings in front of the incense table.

Behind the incense table is not a stone statue, but an ink painting.

In the painting, the woman is fairy-like, holding a long sword, and is fighting with an evil dragon on the lake, which is extremely handsome.

Legend has it that twenty or thirty years ago, there was an evil dragon in the lake that ravaged the people of the town.

Later, it was the sword fairy who made a timely move and injured the evil dragon with a sword, so that the evil dragon did not dare to come again.

The shrine was built at that time.

The shrine is quiet and cool, and there is only one person for the rest of his life.

"City Lord, your old man, try it and see if it suits your taste. ”

He looked up at the man in the painting, "If it suits your taste, you can come to the inn when you pass through the town." ”

"At that time, there will be more top green vegetables from Xihai Zhaoyao Mountain, which is even more delicious than this. ”

"As for me, I don't ask for much, just forget the money, you can bring a sword bag by the way when you come......

"You don't know, I almost died twice in two nights. It's also a shame that my life is hard, or I will find advice for the rest of my life. ”

After chattering for a long time, he took the food box, walked out of the shrine, and stepped on the wild grass into the small temple next to him.

Contrary to the rest of the business, there was an old man in the temple who was leaning over and wiping the incense in front of the statue.

The old man was dressed in a white robe, with gray hair and fairy bones, and when he heard the sound of footsteps, he turned around tremblingly.

For the rest of his life, he had been rampant in the town for a year and a half, and he had never seen this old man.

The old man was also surprised when he saw the rest of his life.

Seeing him staring at him, "Can you see me?" the old man asked.

Yu Sheng nodded, his gaze wandered between the idol and the old man, except that the idol had fine lines, the old man was old, and he had a sick look, they were really similar.
