Chapter 16 Go into the mountains and worship God

Mountains, forests, rivers and valleys and hills, can come out of the clouds, for the wind and rain, see monsters, all say gods, there are two temples in the mountains not far from Lijiagang, and they have been incense for many years.

The mountains are the gods of the mountains, the land is the gods of the land, and Lijiagang is at the junction of the mountains and the soil, and has always worshiped the two gods. Li Feng remembered that when he was a child, every time there were big solar terms, such as Qingming, Dragon Boat Festival, autumn moon, winter solstice, and spring equinox, the elders of the village led the men in the village to carry pigs' heads, incense cases, blowing, playing and singing, and it was very lively.

It's a pity that in the past six or seven years, no one has mentioned the matter of sacrifice, and there are not many people left in the older generation, and even fewer are in good health. The younger generation, there is a mind, to do this, except for the people in the village who have red and white ceremonies, send someone to go up to burn incense and worship it. The big worship has disappeared, alas.

Li Feng's family started building a house today, and the father-in-law of the land must worship it, the mountain god, look at the moving of other people's mountains and stones. Li Feng also prepared a ceremony, in fact, it is much easier to worship God now than in the past.

Li Feng carried a big red bag, full of it, and held a firewood knife in the other hand, without him, the mountain god and the earth temple, in the mountain, the last time I went up the mountain, I still remember vividly, there are many wild grasses, rattans, and branches on the mountain, and no one knows what the trail looks like now.

Li Feng bypassed the bamboo forest and stepped on the mountain road, which was a little better than the mountain road to the dam, the wild grass was not high, and there were traces of trampling. Most of the vine branches have been cleared, and the roadside is littered with yellow branches. Li Feng with a fat boy, hairball, all the way did not encounter any too many obstacles, with a little bit of walking up the mountainside, meet more animals, now spring, the atmosphere warms up, at noon many animals come out to dry bones, especially hibernation grass snakes, four-legged snakes, from time to time from the grass sound. Let Li Feng be shocked from time to time, scorpions, centipedes, poisonous snakes, spiders, and deadly poisons are not much, but these guys give you a bite casually, and they will make you hurt for a few days.

"Fat boy, come back." When Li Feng was frightened, the two little guys were energetic, playing, and from time to time running into the grass to tease four-legged snakes, crickets, dragonflies, especially fat boys, can be described as bold, vegetable pythons dare to tease, it is really a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.

"Furball, you can come back for me too." Li Feng had a headache, he really made trouble for himself with the two guys, looking at the fat boy and hairball who was messing around like a wild horse, Li Feng had to shout in a stern tone.

Cleaning up the fat boy, the hairball let the two little guys walk back to the right path, Li Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief, there are many beasts in the mountains, and he is not afraid, but for the hairball, the fat boy is deadly. Cauliflower snake, also known as vegetable python, a size of more than ten catties, eats mice, squirrels, pheasants, birds for food, no toxicity, just rely on physical strength, roll the prey alive, strangle to death, devour children. The one in front of Li Feng is about two meters long, and it looks like it is thirty or forty pounds, which is considered a big snake.

Usually the vegetable python is very docile, lazy, full, basking in the sun, snake cold-blooded animal, waking up from hibernation at the turn of spring and summer, the most like the noon sun. Li Feng grabbed the hairball, the fat boy, put it into the space, held the firewood knife by himself, and approached cautiously, a dish in front of the vegetable python, the meaning is self-evident, this snake tastes good, it is big, and the people in the mountains are holding a tooth sacrifice. Li Feng thought exactly this in his heart at this time, such a big vegetable python is rare, in recent years, people in the city have often come to buy it, and most of them have been caught.

It's a pity that Li Feng forgot that no matter how docile an animal is, if he sleeps well and is woken up by others, his mood is not much better. Carelessly, sad, Li Feng held the snake's head depressedly, leaning, he was entangled. I can't do it, so I turn around and run into the space, my own turf.

The strength of such a big vegetable python is not small, Li Feng is depressed and about to cry, he is entangled, he can't walk, he can't move. Look at the fat boy here, the hairball keeps screaming, it's useless at all.

"Hiss." I don't know when, the little green snake that was always hiding in the treetops stared at the python tightly at the moment, and the even more strange cauliflower python listened to the sound, tightly wrapped around Li Feng's body, and slowly let go, as if it had encountered an enemy that was difficult to deal with. The body was coiled, the snake's head was raised slightly, and he stared closely behind Li Feng.

Breathing a deep sigh of relief, Li Feng was a little depressed, although the vegetable snake was safe, he almost didn't catch his breath, looking at the vegetable python. glanced at it with palpitations, and left the space with the fat boy who was screaming on the side, chirping and gesturing the hairball of the paws.

After experiencing the matter of the grass snake, Li Feng was more careful, and walked calmly all the way to the Land Temple.

It is said to be a temple, but in fact it is just a small brick house, gray bricks, looking a little old, and the grass in front of the door is messy. It seems that it has not been cleaned up for a few years, Li Feng put down the bag in his hand, took out yellow paper, incense, firecrackers, walked into the temple, and put the rest into the space, these cannot be brought in, otherwise it will be regarded as disrespectful. The fairy old man is also divided into portals, left and right, relatives are distant and close, and the father-in-law of the land looks very cute, holding it on the altar, and there is a villain on the side, the mother-in-law of the land. It is said that when the Jade Emperor appointed the land lord to go down to earth, he asked him what his ambitions were, and the land lord hoped that everyone in the world would become rich and everyone would live happily. However, the land woman objected, she believed that people in the world should be rich and poor, so that they could divide labor and cooperate to play social functions. The landlord said, 'Aren't the poor too pitiful?' The land lady retorted, "If everyone becomes rich, who will help carry the sedan chair when our daughter gets married in the future?" The land public has nothing to say, so this idea of "everyone is happy" has been dispelled, and there is today's disparity between the rich and the poor in the world. The world feels that the land woman is selfish and selfish, and she is a "wicked woman" who refuses to worship her, but she respects the land public.

In fact, it was just a reason for the toiling people to comfort themselves, what, Li Feng didn't believe it, took out the incense paper, divided it into three parts, one was placed on the wooden frame next to the door, and kept it, one for the father-in-law of the land, and one for the mother-in-law of the land. Don't look at the people here who say that the land mother-in-law is not, but on the incense, the paper still dare not slacken, not to say that it is better to offend the gentleman, touch the villain, the two of them, just blow the pillow wind is more fragrant than you, and burn more paper works.

Incense, burning yellow paper, begging for all peace and smoothness, Li Feng picked up the horn on the altar of the house, this thing, Li Feng can't remember what it was called, the horn is divided into two petals, raised above his head, bowed three times, threw it down and looked at the face. Li Feng had good luck today, both sides were facing up, and he was lucky. Although I don't believe it much, it's quite happy to look at it.

The firecrackers are set in the stone cave built on the side, otherwise if something happens to the deep mountains and old forests, it will be terrible, and the disaster of Mars should be cautious. People in the mountains are most afraid of fire, and when they see their children playing with fire on the mountain, a leather whip is indispensable. Imagine that the bull* whip is whipped down, and the skin is absolutely open, which shows how much attention the mountain people attach to fire prevention.

Li Feng knelt on the futon and bowed three times, respectfully put the horns of the ox in his demeanor, stepped forward to clean it up, and his demeanor was dusty and fragrant ash. Someone must be there when the firecrackers are set off, be careful of the fireworks, but not just talk about it, wait for more than ten minutes, watching the smoke dissipate, there are no sparks left and right, Li Feng beckoned to the two small beckons, took the firewood knife, and returned to the road.

There are many ghosts and monsters in the mountain gods, and the mountain gods that Li Feng worships are such a kind, there are many ghosts and monsters in the mountains, and people are puzzled, and they sacrifice for peace of mind. The mountain temple is not far from the land god, maybe the ancestors in the past for the convenience of worship, for the mountain god is more legendary, the mountain has spirituality, turned into a mountain stone and trees, into a variety of forms.

The mountain people have been in awe of the mountain god for a long time, especially the hunters, but unfortunately in the past ten years, there has been no real sense of the hunter, so the mountain god is much more deserted than the land Gonggong Temple, the whole temple is only a few square meters in size, dusty sky, Li Feng put incense paper, leave a copy, light it, firecrackers are not, afraid of disturbing the mountain god.

In fact, it's just that people are afraid of ghosts and ghosts, so people just come to worship every year as usual, and the incense is more than a star and a half less than the land father-in-law, looking at the incense burner, it has been more than half a year for each person to worship, unlike the land temple, the incense is still the same. Li Feng looked so messy, hanging with a thick layer of dust statue, sighed, he did a good thing today. Covering his nose and holding the rag on the altar, Li Feng spent half an hour finally cleaning up the mountain temple, really, the gods are not easy to do. I haven't seen that I have been outdated for a few years, and I see that I am not far from being laid off. Li Feng's generation still knows that there is a mountain god, and few children in the next generation know it.

"Great God, let's go." Li Feng held the fat boy in his left hand, held the hairball in his right hand, threw the firewood knife in his hand in the space, patted the dust on his body, and went down the mountain leisurely.

While walking, picking some wild flowers, Baihua wine is Li Feng's favorite, but unfortunately it is not easy to brew. The most troublesome, few people have free time now, Li Feng picked a lot of flowers a few days ago, today I walked around to see the scenery, picked some back, I can't say that I have enough. Brewing a jar of flowers for spring, hehe, quite accomplished.

Who knows that there is no intention to have a godsend, Li Feng actually found a wild ginseng, there are ten years, not to mention ten years, three or five years of wild ginseng is also rare, a few years ago, many people went into the mountains to dig ginseng, a little year is gone. Li Jiagang was once a treasure, but now it has mostly disappeared into the dust of history.

Stewed soft-shelled turtle with wild ginseng, a big supplement, which man eats it, the old ladies who are absolutely the day * at night scream. Li Feng carefully dug it up, transplanted it into the space with the soil, and poured spring water, so that he could rest assured that the space seemed to have a little more aura at this time. The peach blossoms in the yard have changed from yesterday's shrunk and begun to recover, and a few carp and some crucian carp in the pond are swimming with a touch of life in the spring. The lotus root has already moved, and it will not be possible to see the lotus leaves coming out of the water in three or five days.

As for the cauliflower python that made Li Feng's heart palpitate, he is now hiding far away, coiling in a circle, it seems that the little green snake is very powerful.
