Chapter 247: A Marriage Sign!
As soon as the old man entered the thatched house, I couldn't help but ask Caixia, "Miss Caixia, do you say that the land temple that the strange old man said is this small temple?" As I spoke, I also gestured to the size of the small box just now.
Caixia frowned, "I don't know what to do, but it's always right to go and take a look!" ”
"That's right." I seemed to be thoughtful.
After a while, the old man walked out of the thatched hut, put on a jacket, and turned his head to tell the old woman to walk out: "Old woman, you stay at home, I will take my daughters and them to see the Land Gong Temple, and I will come back soon!" ”
"Be careful on the road!" The old woman shouted with concern behind her.
The old man smiled, didn't speak, and led us out of the courtyard.
Looking at the old couple in front of them caring for each other, listening to the voice of a slight trembling because of old age, I suddenly sighed, in this life, the most important thing is to have a lover who is close to each other to accompany you to old age, and then watch the sunset on the horizon slowly fall, this is called happiness!
Follow the old man all the way out of the village, and I don't know how far the road has gone, the old man looked for the way and walked over step by step, and only stood on a slightly flat snow for a while, then looked around, raised his hand and pointed to a place and said: "The land temple you are looking for is there!" ”
We followed his fingers and saw a small inconspicuous snowdrift standing there not far from the ground, the snowdrift was only knee-deep, and if we didn't pay attention, we couldn't really see it.
The old man didn't speak again, walked up and brushed away the snowdrift, and suddenly a small earthy gray house like an architectural model appeared in front of us, with doors and windows it looks very exquisite, and the most important thing is that there is an old man squatting in the clay sculpture, who is looking out with a smile, and at a glance he knows that the road is the image of a land lord.
"This land temple, every winter when the snow closes the mountain, no one will come to worship again, so this snow covers the small temple!" The old man said meaningfully.
I glanced at the small temple, then turned my head and quietly looked at Caixia, the strange old man only gave this one message, but there were still no cliffs and abysses around me.
"Brother, are there any cliffs around this land temple?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Cliffs?" The old man looked up at me puzzled.
"It's ......," I don't even know what to say, "it's ...... Particularly cold place, where there is ice! ”
"Where there's ice?" The old man continued to look at me puzzled.
I'm going crazy looking at his innocent eyes, what can I say? Scar? Abyss? What would I think if suddenly a strange old man asked me? I'm sure I'm wondering if this group of people is ready to die because of something they can't think of.
Xiaodouzi looked at the old man and slowly explained: "Uncle, in fact, we want to know if there is a place with ice near Lu Dao, which is the kind of ...... Ice that doesn't melt! ”
"Ice that doesn't melt?" The old man turned his head and began to look at Xiaodouzi in confusion again.
Caixia glanced at me and Xiaodouzi, stepped forward and looked at the old man with a smile, "Uncle, in fact, we are here to worship this land!" ”
"Oh!" The old man nodded in disbelief.
A bunch of people said a lot of inexplicable things, and then simply said that they came to worship the land lord, if it were you, would you believe it? I don't believe it anyway!
In the puzzled gaze of the old man in front of her, Caixia bent down and bowed to the land of the clay sculpture with great reverence.
Belch...... Well, shouldn't Xiaodouzi and I also bow down? Maybe we'll be able to find what we're looking for.
However, all of a sudden, I noticed that Caixia, who was bowing, was stunned and seemed to realize something.
Damn, is there a major discovery? As soon as I saw this, I also bowed to the ground, and whispered as I bowed, "Miss Caixia, what did you find?" ”
Caixia knocked to the ground and didn't speak, but her eyes looked at one place obviously.
I quietly followed her gaze, and saw the clay sculpture of the land squatting in the small temple smiling calmly, but it seemed to be holding something in the palms of the two flat hands. Damn, there's a big discovery!
I looked closely, and saw that there was a bamboo stick in the palm of its two hands, which is the kind of bamboo stick that is often seen in temples for fortune telling.
I wondered, what is this thing doing here? Thinking about it, I reached out and took it out.
After straightening up, I carefully looked at the bamboo stick, and saw four lines of poetry written on it: Hugh Yan others are crazy, the lotus flower is more fragrant than the chrysanthemum, so that the eyes of the clouds are open, don't make the crow a phoenix.
Caixia and Xiaodouzi on the side saw that I had taken the bamboo stick, and hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, I handed the bamboo stick to Caixia, and then looked at her suspiciously, "What does this mean?" ”
Caixia looked at the four lines of poetry with a puzzled face, "This seems to be ...... A sign for marriage! ”
"Asking for a marriage sign?" I muttered.
The old man saw that I had gotten a bamboo stick from the land lord, and he also came over, but after only one glance, he said: "This signature looks like a sign for marriage!" ”
"Brother, what do you say?" I turned to look at him.
"Look," the old man stretched out his hand and took the bamboo stick in Caixia's hand, "The first two sentences of 'Don't say that others are crazy, lotus flowers are more fragrant than chrysanthemums', which means don't worry about what others say, and don't feel that other people's opinions are not in your ears, although the lotus flower in the water is not as fragrant as the chrysanthemum in the mountain, but the lotus is a gentleman, it may not be as good as the chrysanthemum!" ”
I nodded hurriedly, the lotus flower came out of the mud without staining, and I understood this truth when I was in middle school!
"What about the back?" I couldn't help but keep asking.
The old man continued to explain: "The last two sentences 'good life goes back to the clouds and opens your eyes, don't make the crow a phoenix', which is to say that the road under your feet is to come out step by step, don't always feel that the things in front of you are all good or bad, one day you will understand!" ”
I listened to this old man's analysis, and breathed a sigh of relief, hey, I really don't know that this old man in front of me still has the ability to divinate fortunes!
Caixia listened to the old man's words, frowned and said slowly: "This stick, is it telling us where the things we are looking for?" ”
"Huh?" I turned to look at her.
Caixia glanced at me and continued to analyze: "'Don't say that others are crazy' is about not listening to other people's advice, 'Lotus is more fragrant than chrysanthemums' seems to be talking about two kinds of flowers, in fact, it is also saying that you must stick to your own goals and cannot be easily changed, 'Good Life Returns to the Cloud Open Your Eyes' is telling us to persist and find your goal, and 'Don't make the crow a phoenix' is about not thinking that what is in front of you is the best, maybe we haven't encountered it yet." ”
I tilted my head to listen to Caixia's analysis, "Is that what you mean?" Could it be that we need to go through something to find the Ice? ”
Xiao Douzi, who had been silent on the side, suddenly spoke: "Bi...... Butler, these four lines of poetry seem to be a riddle! ”
"Riddles?" Several of us looked at her together.
Little Beanzi looked up at us and nodded very seriously, "Hmm! ”
I thought to myself, hey, it seems like a riddle.
Hugh said that others are crazy - admit that the lotus flower is more fragrant than the chrysanthemum - grass, so that the life is back to the cloud and open the eyes - the cliff, don't make the crow a phoenix - chicken.
I muttered, "Recognize, grass, cliff, chicken? What is the mystery? ”
Caixia and Xiaodouzi looked stunned when they heard me say it, and then they both nodded slowly - it seems that my guessing ability is also quite good!
The old man turned his head to look at me, "Are you talking about 'chickens recognize grass cliffs'?" ”
"Chicken recognizes the grass cliff?" The three of us looked at him together.
