Sichuan-Shaanxi border, the sword pavilion is magnificent and Cui Wei, there is a dangerous beach on the bank of the Jialing River, go straight forward for a hundred zhang, there is a big village, there was originally a broken temple on the mountain bag at the east end of the village, and most of it collapsed when it was stung.

It is said that black gas came out that day, and then people in the village fell ill one after another.

The old people in the village said that the temple was called the Snake Fairy Temple, don't look at the land grandfather and land grandmother enshrined in it, but behind the statue of the god, there is also a golden statue of the white snake lady.

This temple was in the Jiaqing period of the former Qing Dynasty, a real person who was a Taoist passed by here, saw that the terrain was treacherous, and the atmosphere was gloomy, and then presided over the construction.

In the hundred years after the temple was completed, this was originally just a gathering place of a small village, but it gradually developed into a large village of thousands of people, and there were several Jinshi and Wuju people.

After the Republic of China, there were some famous literati, and it was also a famous longevity village, which can be regarded as a place of outstanding people.

And the reason why this is so is all because of the blessing of the White Snake Niangniang.

Now the temple has fallen, the feng shui turns around, the blessed land has become a bad land, the evil qi invades, and more than a dozen people will fall ill in a row, although the doctor from the city said that it was a cold, but the root is here.

A group of prestigious old people in the village sat down, had a meeting and chatted together, and decided to scrape together some money to rebuild the temple.

As a result, two masonry teams were found in a row, but within two days there were accidents, either the workers were smashed, or the newly built wall suddenly collapsed in the middle of the night, so that neither the people in the village nor outside dared to take the job.

And several people in the village fell ill one after another, and even an old man died directly, which made people panic.

The old people in the village discussed that they might have attracted evil, and were going to go outside to find a gentleman with great skills to help take a look.

At this time, there was a young man in the village who carried a large wooden box.

Later, Mao recommended himself and said that he would build this temple.

The old people didn't believe in the afterlife at first, and felt that it was impossible to do things without hair, but now the matter is panicked and can't be cleaned up, so they hold the attitude of "dead horses as live horse doctors" and let him give it a try for the time being.

As a result, since the descendant came to the village and began to talk about the construction of the temple, the wall did not fall, the patients improved, and everything seemed to be going in a good direction.

Even the masons who ran away before had the courage to come back to work.

That later life was liked and loved by the old and young in the village, and some people were jealous of this situation, so rumors came out, saying that in fact, there was nothing to do here, and it was this young man named Gan Thirteen who was making trouble behind his back.

Otherwise, why would there be nothing to do as soon as he came?

However, when these words reached the ears of the people in the village, most of the time, they scolded them.

What is a trick behind the scenes?

After that, he was born, while Zhang Luo repaired the temple, managed, designed, and worked personally, busy before and after, he was good at everything, the mason didn't come, he was there, the mason finished work, and he was still there.

That's it, people only need a salary, and don't take anything else, saying that this is practicing and accumulating virtue - that's it, are you embarrassed to say others?

Not only that, but you see that people are really capable, whether it is carrying water or ramming earth, one person is used for five people, and he spits out and cultivates every day, and at a glance, he knows that he has great ability.

This kind of person, it's okay to run into your pimple to make trouble?

The villagers, men, women, and children, all of them were able to count a bunch of benefits of this descendant called Gan Thirteen, and then felt more and more that this young man was really good.

The three aunts and six women in those villages all introduced him to the little daughter-in-law, and those little daughters-in-law and eldest girls, every time they saw him, their faces were red, and their livers were pounding, as if there were deer in their chests.

And even so, they are still willing to appear in front of Gan Shisan, and if they catch a job of delivering water and food, they will rush to do it.

Some big girls, behind their backs, call that the latter "Thirteen Lang", and sometimes in their dreams at night, they will follow him to get it again.

Even in a dream, I'm willing.

It was another day when the sun was setting, the dream lover who was remembered by many big girls in the village, that is, the little carpenter Ganmo, sent away a few masons under his hands, and then walked around the front and back of the temple, and checked all the work he had done today, then wiped a handful of sweat, stopped, and stretched.

A cold-faced Taoist priest walked on the mountain road not far away, walked all the way to him, and asked, "When will it be repaired?" ”

The little carpenter thought for a moment and said, "It's been about four or five days, there will be a lot of ash here, and there will be a top on it, and all the work will be done—what, is the chief of the Innocent Dao leaving?" ”

This cold face is long, but it is innocent.

The reason why he came here was to ask the little carpenter to help him make another set of wood carvings.

This time it is not simple, but it is the eighteen arhats who are exquisitely carved - these eighteen arhats can be exquisite, which are sitting on a deer, rejoicing, raising a bowl, tota, meditating, crossing the river, riding an elephant, laughing lion, happy, probing hands, contemplation, digging ears, cloth bags, plantains, long eyebrows, gatekeepers, descending dragons, and subduing tigers, referring to the eighteen arhats who live in the world forever and uphold the Dharma in Buddhist legends, from the sixteen arhats and two venerables.

These are all historical figures, all of whom are disciples of Shakyamuni, and their images are certain, and they must be tangible and spiritual, and they are very demanding.

This group of eighteen Arhats was not what Wuji wanted, but the elders of his family wanted to give a gift to a high monk, because they saw the set of Tianluo swords of Wuji, so they asked him to do something.
