147. Ignorance
When the two crossed the swaying chain bridge, they saw that the valley was much wider, and some mountains had been leveled and some food crops had been planted, and many people were already busy working in the fields at this time.
Jiang Yuanlai is not from Wugou Village, and he doesn't know where Chunmei lives, so he went to the field and asked the farmer who was working, and immediately said to Wang Pengyu anxiously: "Sister Chunmei is going to marry Wutongshen, Teacher Liu is going to stop them, let's go over quickly." ”
"Why is Chunmei going to marry Wutong God? Isn't the god of Wutong a statue of worship? Wang Pengyu asked with some confusion.
Jiang Yuanlai said hurriedly: "Sister Chunmei's younger brother is sick, and the temple of Wutong Temple said that Chunmei should marry Wutong Shen Chongxi in order to cure her brother's illness." ”
"Some of the girls who married Wutongshen before were crazy, and some even committed suicide by jumping off a cliff, so they must not let Sister Chunmei marry him."
Wang Pengyu said in a deep voice: "Don't be in a hurry, tell me carefully." Isn't that five-way god just a god? How can you marry someone? ”
Jiang Yuanlai's pace quickened a lot, and he explained as he walked: "I don't know, anyway, sending a girl to the Wutong Temple is to marry the Wutong God." The old people in the village said that if the girl was married to the god of Wutong, the wish would come true, but Mr. Liu said that this was superstition and a bad habit that harmed us, so let's not believe in this. ”
Wang Pengyu did not speak with a gloomy face, followed Jiang Yuanlai and walked briskly, walked through a muddy path, and soon after entering the village, he saw a large group of people surrounding to watch the excitement.
An old man with a clear appearance stopped in front of the single-plank bridge, opposite to a dozen peasant women, and a girl in a new cloth dress, her eyes were full of dead silence, and tears were faintly visible on her cheeks.
One of them was holding a long-rod pipe, and the old man with a somewhat rickety figure frowned and persuaded with good words: "Mr. Liu, you are the teacher of our village for dozens of miles, everyone respects you very much, if it is something else, we will definitely agree to Mr., but this time the second son is seriously ill, and the Wutong Temple Zhu said, only if Chunmei is promised to the Wutong God as a lady, the second son's illness will be cured, are you willing to watch the Tang Erzi family break down?" ”
The old man, who was about fifty years old, dressed in a white-washed tunic suit, stopped the single-plank bridge with open hands, and shouted angrily: "Ridiculous! If you are sick, you have to ask a doctor for treatment, how can you believe in these gods and heresies! I'm not going to get out of the way today unless you push me down! ”
Mr. Liu is a young man in the countryside, and he had the opportunity to go back to the city, but he couldn't let go of the children in the mountains, and he stayed here for 30 years, so he was very respected by the nearby villagers.
The onlookers all pointed their fingers, although many people in Wugou Village believed in Wutong God, but they respected the old man who poured all their efforts into this mountain ravine village, and even many of them had been students of Teacher Liu before, so they did not say anything about Teacher Liu, and some people gently persuaded: "Teacher Liu, I think let them go, anyway, they will stay in the Wutong Temple for one night, and they will be able to come back the next day." ”
Teacher Liu's eyes widened angrily, and he couldn't care about Sven in anger, so he blurted out and scolded: "Fart!" ”
He snapped, "You think I'm old and confused? As long as this girl arrives in the temple, her innocence will be destroyed in the hands of the temple Zhu, how many girls have been driven crazy in the past, and even jumped off the cliff to die, I must not watch Chunmei end up like this! ”
The rickety old man knocked on the dry pipe on the stone next to the mountain road, looked at the sky again, and said in a deep voice: "The time that the temple Zhu said is coming, and it can't be delayed any longer, the third son, the wood, you go and set Mr. Liu away, and when the matter is over, the old man will personally make amends to Mr. Liu!" ”
The two men who were called hesitated for a moment, but in the village, the status of the patriarch is the highest, and even the village chief has to listen to the words of the patriarch of the old man.
Teacher Liu's body was thin, naturally he couldn't withstand the two middle-aged men, and he struggled desperately, so he could only watch the sluggish Chunmei cross the single-plank bridge accompanied by more than ten tribesmen, leaving two lines of tears in his eyes.
Wang Pengyu watched outside, and he couldn't understand a lot of words, but what Teacher Liu said was similar to Mandarin, and Jiang Yuan explained the reason, and barely knew what was going on, and he was puzzled.
After the people who sent off their relatives crossed the bridge, Sanzi and Mu let go of Teacher Liu, said sorry repeatedly, and then quickly crossed the bridge.
That Teacher Liu was held by the two of them before, and he was still struggling, but now he let go, but quieted down, and watched Chunmei and the others go away with blank eyes, and burst into tears.
The villagers who watched the excitement comforted him a few words, and when he saw that Mr. Liu ignored them, he was bored and dispersed not long after.
Wang Pengyu and Jiang Yuanlai walked over, Jiang Yuanlai called Teacher Liu, the thin old man came back to his senses slightly, saw Jiang Yuanlai, reached out and wiped his cheeks, and then asked: "Yuanlai, why did you get here, didn't the teacher tell you to watch your classmates at school?" ”
Wang Pengyu said in a deep voice: "I asked him to bring me here." ”
Teacher Liu looked at Wang Pengyu: "Who are you?" What are you doing here? ”
Wang Pengyu said lightly: "It doesn't matter who I am, I may be able to help Na Chunmei, as long as Mr. Liu tells me in detail." ”
Teacher Liu did not answer Wang Pengyu immediately, but asked Jiang Yuanlai in dialect, and then shook his head and said to Wang Pengyu: "You can't help." The people here are very xenophobic, especially the temple of the Wutong Temple, who is the overlord of the soil here, poor Chunmei, a fifteen-year-old baby, was so harmed by the temple blessing, and my teacher couldn't help her at all! ”
"The temple blessing of the Wutong Temple?" Wang Pengyu asked.
Mr. Liu was more than ten years old, and sighed and said: "Many people here believe in the Wutong God, and the temple is more than ten miles away from here, on the mountainside of Tiebi Peak, I really don't know what those villagers think, they will believe in such an evil god, and they will be bewitched by the temple blessing, saying that they can get the blessing of the Wutong God by forming a family with the Wutong God, in fact, the girls who sent it were ruined by the temple blessing." ”
"I have reported to the county several times, but the power of the temple is deeply rooted here, and the result is all in vain. I heard last night that the youngest son of the Tang Er family was sick, and they went to ask for the Wutong God, and the temple Zhu actually said that Chunmei Xu would be given to the Wutong God to cure her brother's illness, and he rushed over early this morning, but unfortunately he still couldn't prevent the tragedy from happening. ”
Wang Pengyu couldn't think that there were such ignorant things in this society now, so he couldn't help but be angry, and said in a deep voice: "Jiang Yuanlai, you are here to accompany Teacher Liu, I will go to the temple to see what is going on, and I will definitely bring Chunmei back intact." ”
Mr. Liu heard from Jiang Yuanlai that Wang Pengyu was coming by car, and seeing that Wang Pengyu was calm, he might be a person with a background, so he told Wang Pengyu about the matter, even if he couldn't save Chunmei, the girl, he could eradicate the temple of Wutong Temple in the future, and it could be regarded as a good thing for the villagers of these nine villages and eighteen villages.
Hearing that Wang Pengyu was going to Wutong Temple, his face changed, and he hurriedly said, "I can't go!" The Wutong Temple is on the mountain, in case something happens and it is not known to outsiders at all, it is very dangerous for you to go alone. ”
He told Wang Pengyu these things, not to let Wang Pengyu go to the hero, but to want Wang Pengyu to go back to the city and use his connections to let the people of the political axe solve this scourge.
Wang Pengyu waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm just going to take a look, there won't be any problems." A small temple wishes, it's not easy for me to be embarrassed. ”
After speaking, he crossed the five-meter-long single-plank bridge in two or three steps, and disappeared from the sight of Teacher Liu and Jiang Yuanlai in a blink of an eye.
Teacher Liu and Jiang Yuanlai both wiped their eyes, unable to believe that this teenager was walking so fast.
Not long after the Tang family left, Wang Pengyu quickly caught up with them, but he didn't get closer, just followed behind, to see what the five gods and temple blessings were.
After walking on the mountain road for a while, Wang Pengyu probably knew why the Ma family came here to buy herbs.
Because of the inconvenience of transportation, the environment here has not suffered much damage, you can often see a lot of rare herbs in the mountains and forests, the medicinal power of these wild herbs is naturally not artificially planted herbs can be compared, although it takes a little time, but if you establish a purchase point here, if you have a way, you can buy a large number of herbs back at one time, and the profit is not small.
It is not a glorious thing to marry a daughter to Wutongshen, the Tang family did not make a noise, but hurried away, so as not to delay the hour, about an hour or so, everyone went up a small mountain. Although this mountain is not high, the mountain is steep, so it is called the iron pen.
Wang Pengyu quietly followed up the mountain, and after a while, he saw a small mountain temple appear on the mountainside.
This mountain temple is very simple, basically made of wood and stone, about two or three hundred squares, the front is a small platform, and down is a stone step.
Although it was more than nine o'clock in the morning, there were already many people burning incense and worshipping the gods outside the mountain temple, and the five clay statues of the gods were standing in the shrine, and the appearance of the fireworks in front of them was not real.
Wang Pengyu looked at it from a distance and didn't find anything abnormal, these five gods had no mana, and they didn't look like they were casting spells on the father and mother of the horse. Wang Pengyu groaned slightly, took out the nine-turn compass from under his neck and examined the earth qi, and sure enough, he found that there was a faint mana aura in the mountain temple, which was exactly the same as the pink evil qi entrenched in the bodies of the two fathers.
The Tang family had already taken Tang Chunmei into the mountain temple, Wang Pengyu's heart moved, and he walked around the mountain temple outside, and found that there was a wooden window on the left side of the mountain temple near the mountain wall.
Wang Pengyu looked inside the window, then shrank and drilled into the window.
This small house should be the living place of the people in the temple, the layout is a little simple, the wooden bed and bamboo couch, it seems to be a place for ascetics to retreat, but Wang Pengyu found some herbs on the wooden cabinet, these herbs are some silver sheep weed, fragrant aconite, turtle bone, deer antler, golden retriever dog kidney, purple flower and other aphrodisiac herbs, these things appear in the mountain temple can already explain the problem.
A noisy sound came out of the house, Wang Pengyu cautiously approached the door, pushed open the wooden door, leaving a small gap, and saw that the mountain temple was filled with fireworks, and there was a strange five-sided statue on the altar.
Wang Pengyu saw that there was a brass base under this statue, and the body of the statue was carved from peach wood for hundreds of years.
The stone altar in front of the statue is dedicated to a black wood made of male root-shaped utensils, Wang Pengyu felt a yin and evil aura on it, it turned out to be an evil magic weapon, and this magic weapon has a strange connection with the statue, even if Wang Pengyu is clever in magic and has a profound inheritance, he can't see what is famous in it for a while.
A middle-aged and elderly man wearing a square crown and a nondescript gown was picking up the silver evil man's root magic weapon to worship Tang Chunmei, and it was estimated that he was holding a wedding ceremony.
Tang Chunmei's sluggish expression was at the mercy of Miaozhu, about half an hour later, Namiaozhu picked up a stone bowl from the shrine, poured a small bottle of water from it, and handed it to the patriarch of the Tang family who was holding a dry pipe, saying that he would go back and give the divine water blessed by the Wutong God to the second lingzi to drink, and the second man's illness would be cured immediately, and he could come to pick up Tang Chunmei back tomorrow night.
Wang Pengyu's eyes were sharp, and he clearly saw that when Miaozhu poured water, his nails flicked, and some powder bounced into the bottle.
The Tang family left the mountain temple with a thousand thanks, and closed the temple door with the temple blessing, it seems that no one or any time can enter the mountain temple to worship, and usually can only worship the five clay statues outside.
Closed the temple door, the thick and heavy wooden door separated the sound of worship and prayer outside, the temple Zhu's eyes suddenly became obscene, hehe smiled: "Little lady, you are now the person of the grandfather of the five gods, take off your clothes and sit on the altar, open your legs, and wait for the temple to use the treasure of the grandfather of the five gods to open the buds for you, and then love you in the room." ”
Tang Chunmei's expression was blank, and two lines of tears flowed out, but she didn't make any moves.
The temple Zhu's face sank, and he said: "It's best for you to be obedient, anyway, you can't get out of this gate today, if you want this temple to come hard, offend the grandfather of the Wutong God, don't say it's your brother, even if you are a member of the Tang family, you will be cursed by the Wutong God, you don't harm them!" ”
Tang Chunmei, a fifteen-year-old girl from a mountain village, could have much knowledge, she was frightened by this temple blessing, and saw that several pairs of eyes of the Wutong God of the Shentai seemed to emit a strange light to look at herself, and her head was dizzy for some reason, and she couldn't help but reach out to unbutton her clothes.
Suddenly, a loud shout came, Tang Chunmei's confused head suddenly woke up, and subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from, but saw a young man dressed plainly and carrying a backpack walking out of the side door, looking at Miaozhu with a cold light in his eyes.
Miao Zhu was shocked when he heard the loud drink, and turned his head to see a young man walking out of his bedroom, his face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and Sen Leng said: "Who are you, how dare you break into the temple of the grandfather of the Wutong God!" ”
