There is an old saying in the countryside, called "one person does not enter the temple, and two people do not look at the well".

When I graduated from college, I planned to go back to my hometown to raise pigs to make a living, but it rained heavily on the way, so I slept alone in the ruined temple for one night.

That night because I was so tired, I almost fell asleep, and I woke up one night not only did not happen strangely, but I had a spring dream, I can't believe the old words in my heart, but when I looked up at the statue in the middle of the broken temple, my heart chuckled, and then I found that this was an abandoned fox fairy temple!

The fox fairy temple is in the back of our village on a deserted outskirts, when I was a child, I heard the old people in the village say that we had an evil spirit in the anti-Japanese war in the mountains, the children in the village had a high fever overnight, vomiting and diarrhea, the doctor in the village couldn't see why, thought it was a plague, but if it was a plague, it shouldn't only infect children and not adults, right?

Later, a Taoist priest came to the mountain, and the Taoist priest said that as long as a fox fairy temple was built in the back mountain, within two days, the children in the village would be cured.

At that time, the children in the village saw that they were going to collectively swallow their breath, and the villagers could only use the dead horse as a live horse doctor, and the money should be paid, and the fox fairy temple was built in less than two days, and the result was really as the Taoist priest said, the children gradually improved, and the same situation did not occur again after that.

Therefore, the Fox Immortal Temple has gradually become a place where incense is at its peak, and many people from other places have heard the news and come to pray and burn incense.

It is rumored that at that time, there were two Japanese soldiers passing through the mountains, and saw many villagers worshiping the fox fairy, so they went into the temple to make trouble, and when they left, they also took the tribute on the platform, who knew that the two proud Japanese soldiers only walked out of the fox fairy temple a few steps, and suddenly began to talk nonsense, and then fell to the ground, vomiting blood and died.

At that time, the death of two Japanese soldiers was not a trivial matter, and if the Japanese in the town tracked it down, the entire village would suffer, so the village chief went to notify the Japanese barracks as soon as possible.

It didn't take long for a Japanese officer to come to the mountain, and when he saw the miserable death of the two Japanese soldiers, he was extremely angry, so he gave the village chief a shot on the spot, but fortunately, the shot hit the village chief's leg, and there was a compatriot interpreter who accompanied him, and the interpreter stopped the Japanese officer, pointed to the Fox Immortal Temple, and pointed to the two Japanese soldiers who were dying miserably on the ground and whispered something.

The Japanese officer frowned and asked the accompanying military doctor to examine the cause of death of the two Japanese soldiers, but the two Japanese soldiers did not show the slightest external injury on the surface, and strangely, when the military doctor pried open the mouth of one of the Japanese soldiers, a frighteningly large mouse suddenly came out.

At the same time, another dead Japanese soldier heard a gurgling sound in his abdomen, and the Japanese officer had a strange face, and drew his saber to cut the stomach of the Japanese soldier.

The Japanese officer was also frightened for a while, and immediately left the Fox Immortal Temple with people, and in the afternoon, the Japanese officer returned to the Fox Immortal Temple with a group of people, and this time there was a strange-looking man who came with him. The man was dressed in a white robe, with a high hat tied around his head, and his forehead bones were broad, and his eyebrows were not visible, but instead he was replaced by two round scarlets, which I later learned was a profession unique to Japan, called Onmyoji.

After the onmyoji saw the fox fairy temple, he walked in with a calm expression with a little boy, who knew that after a while, the little boy ran out crying wolf, and the rolled out of his trouser leg in fright, and the onmyoji was also pale with fright, and knelt at the door in a panic and kowtowed, not knowing what to say in his mouth, and then beckoned the Japanese officer to flee.

However, even such a temple full of legends failed to withstand the torrent of the Great Revolution that year, as soon as the slogan of breaking the four old came out, the fox fairy temple was destroyed as soon as possible, and it is said that the fox fairy's head was smashed off.

After the revolution, the village chief led people to mend the head of the fox fairy, but no one dared to worship the fox fairy anymore, and over time, the fox fairy temple became a broken temple in the wilderness.

At this time, I was stared at by the statue of a human fox and a fox, so I hurriedly walked out of the ruined temple and walked towards the village.

Our village is called Zhangjiagou, a land of poor mountains and bad waters, my father died early, and my mother worked hard to provide for me to go to school alone.

When I got home, the door was unlocked, but my mother was not.

At this time, I happened to see the neighbor's Uncle Haigen going out, so he asked: "Uncle Haigen, did you see where my mother went, why is there no one in the village early in the morning?" ”

"Yangyang is back." Uncle Hagen looked at me and said. "Everyone went to the village to see the excitement, last night a thunderstorm killed a fox, I was about to go and see."

I wondered in my heart, thinking that there was something nice about a fox, our Zhangjiagou is located in a barren mountain range, and foxes can be seen everywhere, but when I arrived at the head of the village with Uncle Haigen, I found that it was not the case - it was a frighteningly large fox!

This fox is seriously injured, lying under an old locust tree, only faintly visible that it still has a trace of breath, I play a small life in the mountains, the fox has seen a lot, but such a big fox is the first time to see, like a big dog, what is even more strange is that this fox's hair is white!

Don't say it's me as the white fox in the mountains, even many old people haven't seen it!

The white fox's back was scorched by lightning but did not die, and the mouth let out a wail, the onlookers did not dare to come forward, a naughty child picked up a stone and threw it at the white fox, the white fox suddenly opened his eyes and stared at the child, his eyes were fierce, and he was smearing with a faint green light, which frightened the child to hide behind the adults and cry.

"Yo, does this beast still want to eat people?" A villager exclaimed.

The villager is the child's father, named Zhang Fugui, Zhang Fugui is a calf protector in our village, and when I returned to my hometown last summer, I heard that he beat other people's children because of his own children's fights.

It is a common thing for rural children to fight, and they will be reconciled tomorrow when they fight today, but Zhang Fugui is biased and does not want his own children to suffer, at this time, he saw that his children were frightened by a beast and cried, and he was about to shoot the white fox to death when he lifted the shovel in his hand.

But at this moment, an anxious old man suddenly ran from behind the crowd.

"You can't kill it, you can't kill it, you can't kill this fox!"

The old man is a well-known old bachelor in our village, and he is not treated well on weekdays, Zhang Fugui has always had no one in his eyes, and the person who looks at it is an old bachelor, so he didn't pay attention to it, and said loudly: "What kind of thing is your special mother, what can I do if I kill it?" ”

The old bachelor said with an embarrassed face: "This white fox is a white fox fairy, and it is very likely that he is the one who lives in the temple in the back mountain." ”

"Shao Teniang is pretending to be a ghost here, are you scared?"

Zhang Fugui scoffed at the old bachelor's words, and raised the shovel again while speaking, the old bachelor saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug Zhang Fugui's thigh and shouted: "Can't kill it, I'll tell you the truth, last night I dreamed that a girl asked me to come to the village to save her, but I didn't want to be a fox in a hurry, I can't kill it, otherwise there will be big trouble!" ”

"Get out of the way!" Zhang Fugui kicked the old bachelor away, raised the shovel in his hand and slapped the white fox to death, smashing his head to the ground.

Poor white fox twitched his hooves before he died, as if he was unwilling.

After Zhang Fugui killed the white fox, he dragged the white fox home, and Zhang Fugui's son jumped up and down after him, shouting with his eyebrows: "Let you dare to kill me, eat meat at night!" ”

Some women secretly twisted their men's thighs, complaining that the men were not angry, and the big game was carried home by Zhang Fugui in this way.

Although this fox is one of the five immortals of the people, but after all, it is a beast, Zhangjiagou is not rich, not to mention whether the large piece of fat meat is delicious or not, just selling it to the restaurant in the town can be sold for hundreds of yuan!

The reason why everyone didn't dare to move before was because the white fox didn't die, and now the white fox was killed by Zhang Fugui, and they all looked greedy, but Zhang Fugui was very horizontal in the village, and the fox he killed was going to be carried home, who would dare to stop it?

The old bachelor who was kicked to the ground by Zhang Fugui was sitting on the ground at this time, he patted his thigh and cried: "It's over, it's over, it's over, Zhang Fugui killed the fox fairy of the Houshan Fox Immortal Temple, his family of three is going to suffer, wait to collect the corpses of his family!" ”

Hearing the old bachelor say this, I couldn't help but ask, "Old bachelor, are you sure their family will die?" ”

"I'm going to die, I won't live the next day! Killed the immortal family of the Houshan Fox Immortal Temple, the whole family must die, and no one can escape, poor that fox fairy still gave me a dream to let me save it! ”

"Yangyang, what are you asking nonsense?"

When my mother in the crowd saw me, she had always been secretive about ghosts and spirits, and when she saw me questioning the old bachelor, she pulled me away in a panic.

"Mom, I just heard from others that the reason why there was a thunderstorm last night was because this white fox was about to cross the catastrophe and suffered a curse, I ...... yesterday"

"Shhhh The mother was reproachful and her face was ugly.

"I haven't forgotten, the fairy tongue is unscrupulous, don't talk about ghosts and gods." I replied helplessly.

In the afternoon, the news of Zhang Fugui killing the white fox spread throughout the village, and the more people talked about it, the more mysterious it became, especially the old bachelor insisted that Zhang Fugui's family would not survive the next day. It was at this time that I heard the old man in the village talk about the old bachelor's past, saying that the old bachelor had worshipped a Taoist priest as a teacher when he was young, and later became the village's Mr. Yin and Yang.

All kinds of signs show that it seems that Zhang Fugui's family is really in a catastrophe, and even in the evening, Zhang Fugui's woman took out the boiled fox meat and distributed it to the children in the village, but no one dared to reach out and take it!

Zhang Fugui's family and my family are neighbors, and when he saw that no one dared to take fox meat, he wanted to give it to me, I wanted to take it, and I wanted to try it, but the mother behind me coughed as if it had a deep meaning, so I had to retract my hand and go home apologetically.

Zhang Fugui's woman naturally heard some rumors, she was so frightened that she was suspicious, and even Zhang Fugui was nervous, and after nightfall, she didn't dare to turn off the lights all night.

The next morning, several curious villagers came to the door of Zhang Fugui's house together, and someone boldly knocked on the door of Zhang Fugui's house, the door was locked, and no one responded inside, so the villagers exploded the pot, saying that eighty percent of Zhang Fugui's family really died in bed.

The onlookers gathered more and more, and finally everyone decided to pry open the door of Zhang Fugui's house to see what was going on, even if the person died, they had to be carried out, right?

As soon as a few villagers opened the gate, Zhang Fugui's scolding came from the courtyard.

"Who the is making noise at the door early in the morning, and the real mother is blind and goes into the thatched house - looking for death (looking for)?"
