Chapter 416: Dead Man's Sacrifice
That's a flagpole...... Except for the flagpole at the entrance of the school and some special places, I really haven't seen the flagpole anywhere else.
And the flagpole is useful, it is a flag, this flagpole is bald, and it is so bald without a single hair, is it to imitate the Dinghaishen needle?
No, I guessed it in my head, could it be that this flag was used for ......
"Boss, you're right!" Wang Deguang pointed to this mountain temple and said, "This must be the feng shui eye of the Qinglong Water Bureau!" Why since the big official who built the archway, there have been no new talents here, it is because of feng shui, all gathered here, occupied by things here, and can not nourish other people. ”
"Then, the mountain gods here are really monsters?" Tang Benchu was taken aback: "But what kind of monster is so awesome, can go up to the mountain temple to make trouble?" ”
"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, let's go," I waved my hand: "Let's go over and have a look while there's no one here." ”
The mountain temple is the same as the Longmen Grottoes, it is stuck in the mountain, there is no back door, only the front door can enter, and there are no people around, I carried Lu Hengchuan into it first, and a few of them naturally followed.
This mountain temple is quite magnificent, obviously the residents here have spent a lot of money, the hall is very high, and there is a smell of incense on the face, but I can't tell where it is a little strange - it is different from the City God Temple where my godfather lives, and the City God Temple has a feeling of oppression as soon as you enter, as if the godfather and they are looking down at you, the momentum is overwhelming, and it is a bit unbearable to raise your head.
And this mountain temple is different, it only makes people feel eerie, especially weird, and ...... I smell it, there's a funeral smell, there's a dead person here!
Strange, the mountain temple is not a morgue, how can there be dead people?
When I looked up, there was really a statue of a god in front of me, which was domineering, and I was stunned to scare crying children.
And it's said to be a mountain god - I haven't really seen a mountain god in this shape, but I think it's more like Li Kui.
The statue was pitch black, with a mouth of fangs exposed, tall and large, perhaps twice the size of a living person, and a giant in life, with a tiger skin skirt around his waist and a large axe in his hand, as if he could jump up at any time and give it to you.
According to my usual memory, this mountain god is generally similar to the shape of the land father-in-law, it should be an old man, but the clothing is not as rich and leisurely as the land father-in-law wearing an octagonal hat and wearing a robe, and the face is not as kind as the land father-in-law, generally has a long beard and chest, wears a crown of thorns, and holds a divine whip that can knock the mountain and shake the tiger in his hand, which is very majestic at first glance - after all, there are all kinds of jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains, and they are not fierce and can not be suppressed.
can be molded into this appearance, it's really a bit unbelievable, could it be that Li Kui changed his career to be a mountain god?
If Master Jiang, who specializes in making statues, knew, he wouldn't know what he would say.
"Master, look, that legend must be true!" Tang Benchu hurriedly pointed to the leg of the idol and said, "It's really hurt!" ”
Sure enough, there are indeed traces of sewing on the legs of the statue, and the craftsmanship may not be very good, the color and putty are very rough, and it is very obvious that it has been broken before.
Legend has it that this idol can bleed......
Generally speaking, the formal rule here is a temple, even if the statue inside is a little nondescript, it is also owned by this god, it is impossible to say that the god dislikes the ugly statue and gives it to people, it is written "mountain temple", then what happens here is the mountain god himself is responsible, he can't give anyone the opportunity to let the family do bad things on his head.
"Master, do you think we're going in the wrong direction?" Tang Benchu asked: "If this mountain god harms people, it will be fine, but this village is in good weather, and nothing strange has happened, is it that the disaster came from somewhere else?" It's not good that we have wronged the mountain god......"
No, since the feng shui eye is here, there must be a problem here, and the bald flagpole outside can also prove this, but I really didn't figure it out myself, how did that strange thing come here - the mountain god also exorcises evil spirits, and general things can't come in, unless no one worships it, the mountain god is unhappy and abandons this temple, but it sounds like the incense here has not been broken at all, and the strange thing is even more impossible to turn against the guest, and he became the mountain god.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside, and it sounded like those villagers were coming, so I hurriedly waved my hand and let the group hide behind the statue of the mountain god.
When I took a closer look, I was a little surprised that it was the villagers who had just celebrated the birthday and drank to carry the old man's body.
This is also strange, what are you doing when you don't go home to wrap up your soul and move to the mountain temple?
And those villagers had solemn faces, and they all knelt down and kowtowed to the statue of the mountain god: "The mountain god is above, and this time the sacrifice is here." ”
Sacrifice to? What sacrifice?
Then, after bowing to the villagers, they carried the old man who had just died to the offering table!
, what kind of moth is this, I've heard of three animals and six animals, and even all pigs and sheep come to make sacrifices, but they are all animal corpses, why did they get on the corpses of people this time?
Then, the villagers circled the old man's body three times, and knelt on their sides silently, like a watch.
The old man had already put on a shroud, and he was lying on the offering table like a zongzi, which was really weird.
I said that outsiders are not allowed to be present in the village, no wonder these people do not let outsiders see the funeral, this kind of funeral is really fresh enough!
Then, there was a "director" who presided over the funeral - a middle-aged man stood up, and Mansheng began to chant the sacrificial words, to the effect that this old man is the heart of the people in the village, so that the mountain god smiles, and hopes that the mountain god can continue to bless everyone in the future.
Wang Deguang and Tang Benchu also stared at each other, and they didn't know what it meant inexplicably.
At this time, the villagers who were kneeling in front of them also showed a very puzzled look, and asked the "director": "What's going on today, why hasn't the mountain god come to be sacrificed?" ”
Damn, what does that mean? It's even more incredible, does this "Li Kui" have to come down from above and chew this old man?
The "director's" face changed suddenly, and he asked sharply: "Is there an outsider in the village today?" ”
"It's coming," the villagers hurriedly said, "but we've driven them away!" ”
"Yes, their cars are far away, we all saw it."
"Nonsense, you must have been blinded by someone, and outsiders are still ...... with us" The "director" stomped his feet: "Now that outsiders have collided with the mountain god with sacrifices, the mountain god is unhappy!" ”
"So, what then?" When those villagers heard this, their faces turned white with fright: "Then we ......."
"If you don't want the mountain god to get angry and raze the village to the ground, you can quickly find those people and send them to the mountain god as sacrifices!" The "director" said angrily: "You have to find the time for a meal, and if you can't find it, you can ask for more blessings." ”
The villagers undoubtedly stumbled out as if they had been hit by a thunderbolt from the sky: "This is bad...... Find, find! Don't miss a single one, find them all, otherwise ......"
Some of the villagers had their shoes gone.
And the "director" sighed himself, and also left the mountain temple, and hurriedly did not know where to run.
We also came out from behind the statue of the mountain god, and Tang Benchu looked inexplicable: "This...... What is it called? I've heard of mountain burials, sky burials, and water burials, but I've never heard of divine burials......"
"And what were they waiting for?" Ah Zor also squeezed over, but his cheeks were crimson with curiosity, and he was excited: "How can you eat this sacrifice while waiting for the mountain god?" ”
Wang Deguang also frowned: "Strange...... It's weird......"
"Li Qianshu," Lu Hengchuan, who had been silent on my back, suddenly whispered in my ear: "Look at the left behind you, is there something?" ”
"Huh?" By the way, the eyes of the dead fish are blind now, and the ears of the blind man are the most sensitive, I immediately turned my head to look in the direction he pointed to me, this look didn't matter, and it was blocked in my throat in one breath, and the sentence "your mother" almost didn't scold.
