Chapter 529: Stone Village
Mo Shaozhi reminded: "I don't know what the situation is ahead, if there are no villages and towns, we have to be prepared to sleep in the wild." ”
"Hey! We're all used to it, and it's a big deal. The little tanuki waved his hand, disapproving.
Mo Shaozhi smiled and nodded, seeing that the horses were almost full and resting, so he got up and said, "Okay, let's get ready to go on the road." ”
Yimei walked to the side of the carriage and said, "This time, let's drive with me and the little raccoon." ”
The little civet cat took the reins of the horse in Mo Shaozhi's hand: "Yes, yes, you two go inside to rest, it's time for us to play." ”
Mo Shaozhi nodded: "It's okay!" Then what do you two call us! ”
"Okay!" The little tanuki and Yimei replied in unison.
The two were chatting and driving, and after a while, they came to a rough path, and the little civet saw a ragged man crawling on the ground next to him.
So he hurriedly stopped the carriage and jumped down, and saw that he was healthy and did not look like there was anything abnormal, so he bent down, put his hands on his knees, and asked strangely: "Why are you lying on the ground?" ”
The other party was stunned, raised his head, it was a middle-aged man, and he immediately said kindly: "Little girl, I'm not lying on the ground, I'm praying and worshipping." ”
Yimei also got out of the car and walked over: "What are you worshipping?" ”
"Worship the Medicine King Bodhisattva on the mountain far away, and bless our family without illness and disaster." The other party said, continuing to crawl on the ground.
"Oh!"
Tanuki and Imi return to the carriage.
Mo Shaozhi was holding a scroll in his hand and was reading in the car, when he saw the carriage stop, he opened the curtain and asked suspiciously, "Why did you stop?" ”
The little tanuki pointed to the humanity in front of him; "Brother Mo, look, that person is lying on the ground and saying that he is praying and worshipping, what kind of medicine king Bodhisattva."
Mo Shaozhi looked at her and said indifferently: "Every place has its own customs and customs, as well as its own gods and goddesses, which is not surprising. ”
"Oh, but I think it's better to worship our brother Mo than to worship any medicine king bodhisattva." Since the last time, I personally experienced Mo Shaozhi helping me detoxify, and Yimei has become more and more adored by Mo Shaozhi.
Mo Shaozhi smiled.
The little tanuki said casually, "Huh? Why didn't Bai Qingqing move? ”
Mo Shaozhi said in a low voice: "Brother Bai is asleep." With the experience of last time, the two of us didn't dare to fall asleep at the same time. ”
The little civet cat and Yimei were a little ashamed and smiled at each other.
The little civet cat stared into the distance and said, "It seems that there is a village in front, so let's see that we don't have to sleep in the wild at night." ”
Mo Shaozhi looked up at the sky: "It's still early, don't worry, you two just drive slowly." ”
After speaking, Mo Shaozhi went back to the carriage and continued to look at the scroll in his hand.
The farther he walked forward, the more bumpy the road became, so that Mo Shaozhi, who was originally reading in the car, had a little dizzy and uncomfortable eyes.
He put down the scroll, lifted the white curtain of the window, and looked out, and saw stones near and far away. The ground is also paved with rugged stones.
"Why are there so many stones here, it shouldn't be called Stone Village?" The little civet cat saw a village gradually appearing in front of him, and muttered casually. delicacies
After a short time, the carriage came to the entrance of the village.
The little tanuki and Yimei got out of the car, walked to a large stone standing up next to it, and looked at the three words engraved on it: "Stone Village!" ”
After reading it, the little civet cat exclaimed: "It's really called Stone Village!" ”
Then he beckoned to the people inside: "Come out, we have arrived in the stone village." ”
Mo Shaozhi heard the cry of the little civet cat outside, and shook Bai Qingqing, who was still sleeping next to him: "Brother Bai, it's time to get up." ”
Bai Qingqing opened his eyes and stretched: "Oops! It's been a long night's sleep. ”
The two also got out of the car in turn.
"It's all stones." Bai lightly squinted and said with sleepy eyes.
"Because it's called Stone Village." The little tanuki said loudly.
Bai Qingqing smiled and said, "No wonder." Then don't be stunned, let's go, go in and have a look. ”
The four of them slowly walked into the village.
As soon as you enter the village, the huge stone statues stand tall and tall. The four of them looked up and saw a huge carved lifelike Bodhisattva, with various chickens, ducks, and fish offerings in front of them.
The houses in the whole village are mainly stone, and the houses are built with stone barriers, which are sparse and dense, and the whole is scattered; Stone roads run through every corner of the village. As far as the eye can see, the whole village is covered with stone roads, stone houses, and stone walls, just like a world of stones.
The walls of the road are generally made of red sand and stone, and the surrounding environment of the village is beautiful, and a skirt-like river flows in front of the village.
Not far from where the four people stood, there was a large banyan tree, about 30 meters high, and the main trunk required five people to hold hands to close the cage. The path paved with red sand and stone next to the tree stretches, and when you step on the steps to enter the village, you can see the broken walls of the red sand and stones, and the old banyan trees seem to tell you about the past of this small stone village.
Mo Shaozhi was a little surprised by the scene in front of him......
It is estimated that outsiders often come in the village, and when they see the four unfamiliar faces of them, they do not make any changes, but pass by as usual.
The little tanuki stopped a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes wrapped in a black cloth towel on his head: "Please ask, is this enshrinement the Medicine King Bodhisattva?" ”
The thick-eyed man nodded again and again: "Yes, little girl, let's worship with devotion and bless you with peace and health in your life." ”
After he finished speaking, he ran to the Bodhisattva again, knelt down, folded his hands and bowed.
Mo Shaozhi looked at the statue, then looked down at everything nearby, and for a while, he was a little puzzled: "This statue should have just been carved not long ago." ”
"The traces of the stone carvings are very fresh, there is no shadow of time, indeed...... "Bai Qingqing also leaned over.
So Mo Shaozhi walked up to the man just now, waited for him to finish worshipping, and said respectfully: "Excuse me, is this Bodhisattva statue just now?" ”
The man thought that they must be coming for the first time, so he beckoned them to come under the banyan tree, sat down on the stone bench, and said enthusiastically, "Yes, it has just been carved for about a month." Speaking of this medicine king bodhisattva, in fact, there is still a lot to say...... Previously, this Medicine King Bodhisattva was enshrined in the fairy cave on the mountainside of our back mountain, and it is a very small statue of a god, which is said to have existed for thousands of years! At first, only the old people in our village knew about it, and there were not many worshippers, but once a strange thing happened......"
The man's expression flickered and became gloomy, and a cold wind seemed to blow, and several people looked at each other with a spirit.
The little civet cat swallowed a mouthful of saliva involuntarily, and then couldn't wait to ask, "What is the matter with you?" ”
"Huh! Don't worry, little girl! ”
