Chapter 37: Burial and Crossing the Water
The cherry blossom trees on the side of the quaint wooden bridge stand or tilt among the intricate petals, and the wind sweeps through the branches, bringing a group of fluttering and waf-hing pink.
There are a few small houses scattered along the streets, which have been uninhabited for a long time and are already overgrown with plants.
It is said to be early spring, but the weather is slightly cool.
April is indeed the time of year when the cherry blossoms bloom, and the cherry blossoms at this temple are not bad.
It's a pity that the burial has spring pollen allergies.
Qing Fu also went to know that Yue Shui invited him to see the cherry blossoms, and Qing Fu felt that the pollen of the cherry blossoms made him extremely disgusted.
But it can't be indicated, so the funeral uses wind charms to block pollen from entering the respiratory tract.
"It's uncomfortable." Qing Fu said softly.
There are not many pedestrians on the road, and there are only enough people to go to the temple to pray for blessings.
Yue Shui jumped in front of him like a child.
But no one should think that this is a child, and Yuqi Temple is the name of that temple.
Weeds had grown along the clean walls, and the giant locust trees that had rushed out of the garden were covered with red ropes and wooden signs.
It can be seen that this temple was once still very glorious, and it seems to be an old thing that has disappeared into history.
"I guess it might be some kind of cultural heritage." The burial complained.
"Hey, come on." Yue Shui has reached the entrance of the temple.
"Got it." Qing Fu responded casually, and followed with a hurry.
The wooden door was painted red, and the iron doorknob on it was rusty.
The door was open, and there was not even a single person inside the temple.
There were no inhabitants or monks.
In other words, the temple has no owner.
Directly across the door was the ancient locust tree.
There is no merit box in front of the tree, and it is estimated that the money in it will be taken away.
On the contrary, there is a quaint incense burner in front of the tree, which looks very ordinary and does not seem to be valuable.
If it's valuable, you won't see the burial.
The quaint incense burner is full of leaves.
Qing Fu felt that this temple could definitely be said to be extremely desolate now.
He leaned against the wall and carefully measured the ancient locust tree.
"Here's it."
Yue Shui didn't know where to take out a carved wooden plaque and red rope and handed it to the burial.
"What's that?" Qing Fu looked at Yue Shui and asked.
Yue Shui smiled and said: "This is used to pray for blessings, put the wooden plaque in the palm of your hand, recite your name silently in your heart, and finally you can hang it on the ancient acacia." ”
The burial vest Abel was Italian.
Yue Shui thought that he didn't know what it meant to pray for blessings, so he added, "It's like a church believing in God, and the ancient tree will bless the creatures who pray to it." ”
"Of course, this does not conflict with your beliefs, this tree is not another god, it is part of nature."
After all, the burial vest was a church member, in order to add credibility.
The burial also compiled a belief system.
In the Church of the Eclipse, the supreme deity that the members of the Church believe in is St. Ayero.
"Oh, really?" Qing Fu pretended not to know and said, "Then I'll try." ”
Qing Fu clasped his hands together and whispered his own name.
After that, the red rope is carefully knotted on the wooden plaque and tied between the branches of the towering ancient locust.
Yue Shui also prayed there for blessings.
"Do you know the history of this ancient temple?" Yue Shui turned his head to look at the masked burial.
"I don't know." Naturally, the burial will not know about the small temple in this wilderness.
It's not like I've never seen a clear burial in a temple, but the burial is the ancestor of the Onmyoji.
There are also many temples for burials
It seems that Yue Shui just wants to see the burial and talk about the history of this small temple.
Yue Shui's eyes seemed to be stained with mist, and she said, "There used to be a big family surnamed Jingye.
They live in a small isolated town and live a largely self-sufficient life.
The people in the town are very harmonious.
In addition to Jingye in the town, there are also two big families, Registered Sheep and Wu Sima.
These three families have been friends for generations.
...
One day, months-long snow blocked the town's roads to the outside world.
The three families that made a living from hunting were almost without food.
I'm going to starve to death here.
However, the temptation of life is always beyond people's imagination, and no one wants to die.
In order to fight the hunger, the then Sho Yang and Wu Sima decided to slaughter the Jingye family.
They agreed that the old people would be registered as sheep, the young children would be returned to Wu Sima, and the young and middle-aged would be divided equally between the two families.
Human flesh is high in protein, as it should be.
They relied on a family to survive the ice that they had not encountered in the past few years.
Spring has come again, and both Shui Yang and Wu Sima have left the town in their own names and gone their separate ways. , and Jingye stayed there forever.
Both sheep and horses eat leaves.
There are nearly 100 people in Jingye's family, and so many people naturally can't eat.
Both of them killed the people who were held alive in the dungeon.
This is for fear of revenge.
The so-called generational friendship is just a cover.
Luckily, one member of the Jingye family survived. ”
Yue Shui paused when he said this, was silent for a while, and then said: "This seems a bit mocking, but I have to say that the surviving two families of Juyang and Wu Sima have eaten too much and actually fell in love with the taste of human flesh."
Both of them hunted living people everywhere, and the surviving person of the Jingye family used this to find clues to the two enemies everywhere.
He vowed to eat the offspring of both families, just as he had done before.
When is the time for retribution? Yes.
But that person had only pathological revenge left in his heart.
Jingye Celebrity is that person's name.
How could one person destroy two great families?
Baume & Mercier eventually got married and had children.
He had a strict education for his children, teaching her to take revenge.
You should be able to guess who I am? ”
Yue Shui looked at Qing Burial and asked.
"Well, your full name is Jingye Yueshui?"
"That's my name, and I'm not done with the story, I'll tell you more."
"Baume & Mercier eventually died of an infectious disease."
Her children don't have the idea of hating innocent people.
Even if they destroyed the Keiye family, that was in the past.
His child also lived well with his mother, and the child changed his surname.
She thinks that now that people may have forgotten about hatred, that is naturally for the best.
However, just because you hide from others doesn't mean that others won't take the initiative to provoke you. ”
...
Yue Shui was silent for a long time.
"Uh, excuse me, what do you say about this temple have to do with it?" The question of the burial is extremely inappropriate to ask Yue Shui.
Yue Shui seemed to know that he would be buried and asked, Yue Shui smiled and said, "This story is very long, I'll tell you again when I have time in the future." ”
"Hmm." Qing Fu responded, but his heart was still full of black question marks.
What do you mean?
It's not like you're going to tell me.
Of course, the burial cannot be said directly.
After all, now his identity is a subordinate of the sailor.
Qing Fu suddenly thought of an interesting thing, he turned his head to look at Yue Shui who was staring at Gu Huai and said.
"Are the six fogs and Zong Yiyan the descendants of the Zhuyang and Wu Sima families?"
