I didn't say a word at the time, so I patted the chopsticks and said in my heart, there are not many masters in these years, presumably he is the third master!

Li Qing looked at me like this, very puzzled, I just remembered, I only knew to bring Li Qing over, but I didn't tell him what to do, it is estimated that in the past two days, just listening to the stories and braggings of the people in the village, I have also heard it in the clouds.

I also realized that my reaction seemed to be a little excessive, coughed twice to cover up the past, pretended that there were mosquitoes around, slapped it twice, picked up the chopsticks and asked: "It's the first time I've heard of the City God Temple, but since you know that there are high-ranking people living there, if there are really any treasures, wouldn't they have been taken away by you a long time ago?" ”

The young man shook his head, drained the beer from the cup, leaned over to us with a mysterious face, lowered his voice, and said, "If it is so easy to find, can a master still be called a master?" The genius of the master lies in the fact that we can't even think of a place where people hide things! ”

The young man's name was Ma Di, the wine came up, and the words became more, I saw that there was a door, and hurriedly took the opportunity to pour him a few more glasses, until Li Qing stopped me and said that if I poured it again, I should lie down, and then I asked Mao. I stopped and asked him, what was the matter with the master?

Madi's face was flushed, of course, he was drinking, his eyes were foggy, and his eyes were gone when he laughed.

He said he forgot how many years ago, anyway, at that time, his grandmother was still a girl.

The reason why girls are called girls is because in that era, unmarried women didn't go out much, and the thing they were most proud of was that as everyone's ladies, they should not go out of the door.

In fact, if you say it this way, I am a little unsure, after all, Madi heard from his grandmother, and his grandmother, it is estimated that she did not see it with her own eyes, but a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, putting together the legend.

However, Madi's following words were not what I expected.

He said that his grandmother was different from the rest of the village, and that she could be regarded as the first intellectual in the village.

Because at that time, my grandmother liked some strange things, and there happened to be a literate gentleman in the village, who was said to have fled.

At first, Ma's grandmother wanted him to live in her own house, but after all, if it was spread out, the girl's reputation would be ruined, and Mr. gritted his teeth and lived in the City God Temple.

It was a chaotic time, and people had long since stopped believing in gods and Buddhas, not that they did not fear gods and Buddhas, but they suddenly found that these gods and Buddhas who worshiped all day long could not save them from suffering at all.

Therefore, the City God Temple has actually been abandoned for a long time, and some people even say that it is haunted.

To be honest, at the beginning when Madi said that he was a literate gentleman, I was a little impatient, and I said in my heart, if you want to talk about a master, you can say a master, why do you have to start with Mr., could it be that he was drunk and confused, and began to talk about his grandmother's emotional history?

But as soon as I heard the three words of the City God Temple, I immediately understood, presumably, this legendary gentleman is the master that Ma Di said, if I guess correctly, it is the third master!

Ma Di said that at that time, in fact, life in the village was not good, although the village was remote and far away from strife, but it seemed to be cursed by some kind Yes, every year the grain harvest in the village was not good, every household was about the same, and the food they grew was only enough to fill their stomachs, as for making money or something, they had not considered it for several years at that time.

Therefore, when Grandma Ma wanted the third master to live in their house, she was opposed by everyone.

The third master finally lived in the City God Temple, but he had a place to live, and he had to support himself for food, because everyone was actually a mud bodhisattva crossing the river, and it was difficult to protect himself, and at the critical moment, no one could say that anyone had no conscience and no sympathy.

The third master spent three days alone in the City God Temple, and Grandma Ma went to look for him, but he didn't see him, only saying that he had something important.

It wasn't until the fourth day that he came out of the City God Temple, and he lost a lot of weight, and he knew at a glance that it was estimated that he hadn't eaten a bite of food in the past three days.

The third master pointed to a mountain not far away, and said, look at that mountain, smooth wind and water, it is said to be an excellent place for feng shui, but now it is cloudy, evil spirit, I am afraid that there is something evil in it, and the current bleak appearance of your village is probably related to it.

At that time, although people did not believe in gods and Buddhas, they were still inevitably superstitious, especially when they were in such a difficult situation.

As soon as they heard the third master say this, they seemed to have found life, raised their heads and asked the third master: "Is there any remedy for that?" Let's ask a Taoist priest to do it? ”

The third master said, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, the practice is useless, this thing is evil, I have to go in person.

For a while, the village was boiling, and they shouted the third master and the old immortal, regardless of whether there was food at home or not, everything that could be taken out was taken out anyway.

The third master had a full meal, and then he was satisfied and went on the road. At that time, he was familiar with the grandmother of the Ma family, so he secretly told the grandmother of the Ma family, at eight o'clock in the evening the day after tomorrow, you go to the City God Temple to wait for me. But the time that the third master told the others was indeed three days before he could go down the mountain.

The grandmother of the Ma family secretly ran out of the house and came as promised, but the third master was not there, and waited until ten o'clock in the evening to see the third master covered in blood limping back from not far away.

The third master was helped by the grandmother of the Ma family to sit down, and took out a cloth bag from her arms, Grandma Ma was already frightened at that time, and hurriedly glanced at the bag, and her attention was attracted by the third master who was covered in blood.

The third master not only came back, but also brought a lot of herbs and commanded Grandma Ma to put it on himself.

Therefore, by the time the villagers came out to greet him on the third day, he had barely recovered, at least, he had the ability to pretend to be able in front of the villagers.

Grandma Ma stood in the crowd, and then understood his intentions.

Later, the mountain turned from cloudy to sunny with the naked eye, but it still took a long time to see the effect of this harvest.

Because of this, the villagers' enthusiasm for the third master quickly passed, and some people even began to wonder if the third master was a liar, and the third master saw that it was not interesting to stay here, which only increased his troubles, so after he recovered from his injury, he left the village.

However, Grandma Ma remembered clearly that when the third master left, there was only one of the two coats left, because the other one was broken when it came down from the mountain, and it was full of blood, so it had already been thrown away.

The third master was shirtless, holding a coat in his hand, and he didn't take anything he brought back from the mountains that day.
