Chapter 025: Old Mother Lishan
"There is a white light flying out of the well, this is a white rainbow through the sun, a sign of good luck!" The old bachelor shouted.
The villagers cheered with joy, and the white light flying from the well shocked everyone as if they had witnessed a miracle.
The water in the old well became clearer and clearer, and they took the pots and pans in their hands and walked to the old well, scooped up the well water, and drank it. The huge rat lay on its stomach on the well, and when everyone had scooped up the water, it crawled to the edge of the well with its paws, and then went into the grass not far away.
"You see, can't you see?" I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat and pointed to the direction where the big mouse disappeared and asked Uncle Hagen beside me.
"See what?" Uncle Hagen looked surprised, picked up the bowl and drank it all, after drinking it he smacked his lips and said, "This well water is so sweet." ”
Looking at the people around the old well, everyone's expression was filled with the joy of drinking the sweet well water, and no one found the big mouse that crawled out of the old well.
I could clearly feel that the big rat was emerging from the well, and my vision seemed to dim for a moment. Could it be that because I once devoured the relationship between the worm beads, my eyes can see such a strange scene?
But such a big mouse, let alone seeing, I have never heard of it before, how can there be a mouse in the world that is bigger than the size of a big black dog?
"Am I dazzled?" I rubbed my sour eyes, and then denied my idea, because the big mouse appeared for too long, and the whole process lasted more than ten minutes, and I was afraid, so I kept pretending not to see it, and I didn't dare to show my flaws.
I have said before, it is extremely difficult for animals to live to sixty years, among the five immortals of fox yellow and white willow gray, the natural life span of fox yellow and white willow is relatively long, generally about fifteen years, if you want to live for sixty years, you must not only have excellent luck to eat Ganoderma lucidum old medicine, but also avoid the predation and disaster diseases of the weak and the strong, and the natural life span of mice is generally two years, at most only five years, if you want to cultivate into refinement, it is almost impossible.
This is equivalent to Taoist legends, except for Peng Zu, who lived for 800 years, is an exception, and the rest of the Taoist saints are only 200 years old, and the life span of rats is short, not to mention that they also carry various diseases, how difficult it is to survive the 60-year level, not to mention the Taoism of this big mouse, I am afraid it is not as simple as 60 years.
Among the five immortals, the rat is the lowest in the ranking, because the rat steals the grain in the granary all the year round, so the rat spirit is regarded as the god of the warehouse in folklore. The god of the warehouse is the god of the warehouse, but there is no one in the peasant family who does not hate the mouse, and even hates it to the point of trampling the mouse to death when he sees it.
In ancient legends, there are very few mythical stories about mice, except for the rat essence in the lower realm that stole the lamp oil of the Buddha in Journey to the West, there is no glorious image worth mentioning.
But I don't dare to say anything about this, after all, such an evil thing, the turmoil in Wong Tai Sin has not passed, and if there is another rat essence, it will not make people live.
It's also strange to say, since Zhang Fugui killed the white fox, in just two months, all the demons and monsters in this Zhangjiagou have come out to join in the fun, which makes me wonder if Tang Seng is going to be born in our village.
But when I thought about this rat spirit that no one saw, and then contacted several other spirits that appeared, I suddenly seemed to understand something.
I've been talking about the "fox yellow and white willow gray" five immortals, white fox, white-skinned anaconda, yellow scin, big hedgehog, and this big mouse essence, isn't it the five immortals?
People who live in the mountains, which village will more or less make some evil, but Zhangjiagou's evil this time is too fierce, and the five immortals have come out.
I couldn't have imagined that after a white-skinned anaconda came out of the old well, there was a rat essence underneath.
Needless to say, the stone gate pulled up from the bottom of the old well was used to block the rat essence, and the gold leaf on it must be a Taoist talisman, and the iron chain in the well was also used to lock the rat essence?
When I think about it, I can't help but feel a little scared.
The iron chain is locked, the stone door is sealed, and there is a white-skinned water beeper on it that has become a fine in itself, which means that there is a problem with this rat essence, otherwise who bothered so much to suppress it and do something, wouldn't it be over after a few slashes?
Among the five immortal families that came out before, foxes, white worms, weasels and hedgehogs were all easy to deal with, and even a person who had not studied Taoism could pose a threat to them, but this time, I suddenly felt fear.
At noon, after the old bachelor woke up, he began to convey Lao Jun's will, and took the villagers to dig a new well, and said that Lao Jun would send Li Shan's old mother to cure the children's plague. It's just a retarded person like a fool who will believe it.
But in the afternoon, something happened that had a great impact on my worldview—because Li Shan's mother really appeared.
Because what happened in the past few days is too strange, now the new well has been dug out, but the old trouble has not been eliminated, and Wong Tai Sin, who only went up to Widow Feng, has been hiding and waiting for an opportunity to move, and some villagers reacted that they saw a person standing on the hillside at the east end of the village yesterday evening, and looked a bit like Widow Feng.
Therefore, I consulted with the village chief to see what way I could find to lure Widow Feng out and eradicate this scourge.
I was discussing with the village chief when a person came running from the back of the village, and the man shouted: "Village chief, something is wrong, the old mother of Li Shan is really here!" ”
The village chief and I looked at each other, and it was clear that we both thought it was a liar, so we went together to see what was going on.
The person who came was a very old lady, this old lady was wearing a black robe, hunched over, with a sloppy pace, looking at least ninety years old, I said in my heart that such a large age still came out to cheat, it is a bit disrespectful to the old, our road in the mountains is not easy to walk, in case she bumps and falls and no one helps, in the dead mountain, her family does not know how much medical expenses will be paid.
But as if she could hear what I was thinking, the old lady suddenly raised her head to look at me and asked, "Your name is Zhang Yang?" ”
I coughed and said, "Grandma, my name is Zhang Yang, what's your name?" Which village, why did you come to our village, are you lost? ”
"I'm not deaf, you don't have to be so loud." The black-robed old lady said. "My surname is Hua Xu, I am from Lishan, and I have been instructed by Lao Jun to come to your Zhangjiagou to treat the children."
Lishan's mother is also called Lishan's mother, so she is naturally from Qinling Lishan, I just didn't expect this old lady to be so old, and she did her homework in order to cheat, and she actually knew that Lishan's mother's surname was Huaxu, and Huaxu was the surname of Huaxia ancestor, and now no one uses this surname for a long time.
As for the black-robed old lady calling out my name, it is not unusual, I am the only college student in our village, and I can know that in the past, in order to cheat money, those Taoist priests in the traveling party inquired in advance in a village where there was oil and water to fish, and then appeared to cheat money.
"You don't believe me?" The black robe continued. "I also know that you have a mother at home who has just recovered from a serious illness, your father drowned when you were three years old, and your birth date was the second day of the third month of the year of Yihai, oh, you also have a nickname, called Zhang Genshuo."
"Jang Geun Suk?!" The villagers burst out laughing when they heard the name.
I was embarrassed, but at the same time I was very angry, because I didn't expect this old woman to inquire so clearly, I used the name Zhang Genshuo for a few years when I was a child, but then every time I was sensible, every time someone called me, it always made people feel ashamed, so I strongly asked my mother to change the name on my household registration, and many people in our village knew about it.
Obviously, this old lady was specifically inquiring about me, so I no longer had a good face, and said with a straight face: "Grandma, which village is your family from, our mountains have not been peaceful recently, and there are soul-snatching Wong Tai Sins who often haunt people, I think you should go back." ”
The old lady in the black robe smiled and said, "Poor my old woman still wants to bring you good news, I saw a girl in white in your eyes, this girl, her name is Xiaobai, right?" ”
"You, how do you know?" The words of the black-robed old lady made me stunned for a moment.
If my name, birthday and family information can be inquired clearly, but Xiaobai, who I can only see in my dreams, I'm afraid that no one in this world knows except me, right?
Seeing my frightened expression, the village chief obviously realized something, but he still couldn't believe it, so he asked, "Are you really Lishan's mother?" ”
The old lady in the black robe said: "I am only here to save the children this time, those children are infected with the plague, I am afraid that one of them has died at this time, if it is after today, the children will really not be saved." ”
