Chapter 118: Exploring the Mountain Temple at Night
Walking deeper into the forest, the trees become denser and denser, and the sun shines through the leaves on the fallen soil, and the ears are filled with insects and birds.
Xia Weiliang always turned off the different language when he didn't need it, and he didn't always hear the sound of conversation.
Maybe it's the reason why the woods are too lush, and when I got closer, I suddenly saw a small temple with a height of an adult on the slightly raised ground compared to other places, and there was a mountain god with a copper green hideous face in the small temple, holding a giant axe in his right hand, and putting his left hand on his chest, wearing copper yellow armor, and the armor on both shoulders was indigo, and there was a cloud pattern Tibetan blue silk floating around, a golden beast face around his waist, wrapped in a large green belt and floating naturally, and stepping on a pair of black-on-background green, red, black and gold intersecting head shoes, the whole body occupied the small temple, and looked at the past to give people a sense of oppression.
"Let's go, go to the pillar incense." Before leaving, the man brought some incense, paper money, and a bowl of chicken.
Tutu followed the man forward, and Xia Weiliang hesitated for a moment and walked over.
Now the fire is forbidden, and after three worships, only the incense is inserted on the cement incense platform in front of the small temple, and the paper money is pressed on the side of the incense platform with stones.
"Uncle, is this mountain spirit?" Tutu looked very curious and couldn't help but ask.
Xia Weiliang pulled the rabbit back, and subconsciously glanced at the mountain god with a terrifying face.
The man looked at Xia Weiliang's movements and laughed, "Hahaha, it's okay, the mountain god is very good, but he is a little greedy." ”
"Hmm." Xia Weiliang nodded, and Tutu didn't speak again.
Then led Xia Weiliang and them to walk around casually, and after sending them home, the man went to pick tea again.
"Wow, when was the mountain temple built?"
The woman's hands kept moving, "That's been a long time, probably before the founding of the country." ”
"So long? But I don't think the mountain temple is dilapidated at all, have you rebuilt it? ”
"We haven't rebuilt it, and the place where the gods live must be clean."
Xia Weiliang sorted out the tea leaves in her hand and looked at the woman again, "Widow, do you all believe that the mountain god has magic power?" After all, their family didn't seem to be wealthy, but they took a big bowl of chicken and offered it to the mountain god.
"Yes, we have lived here for decades, there has never been any disaster, and the harvest is good every year, and the mountain gods are blessing us. It's that the mountain god is more greedy, and every year each family has to prepare some food incense, but his favorite food is chicken. ”
Favorite chicken?
Xia Wei coolly and quietly combed the tea with the woman for a while and continued to ask: "Son, has anything strange happened on this mountain recently?" ”
"Strange things?" The woman's hand paused, and then continued to sort out the tea leaves, "No, we have always been so good weather, and every family is happy." ”
Xia Weiliang continued to ask, "Excuse me, what are you talking about when my uncle took us to the mountain temple to offer chicken to the mountain god, what are you usually talking about?" ”
"Oh, it's just some peace and security."
"That's right." Xia Weiliang looked very curious, "Son, do you often go to worship the mountain god?" ”
"It's the New Year's festival and worship, and sometimes I will bring some food and incense when I pass there."
......
At night, the couple turned off the lights and lay in bed.
"Boss, nothing happened to you taking those two children to the mountain temple today, right?"
"Why did you suddenly ask about this?"
"The girl named Xia Liang today is asking me about the Mountain Temple."
"Maybe I'm going to see the mountain god, I'm curious."
"No, I always feel wrong, and she asked if anything strange had happened recently."
"What then?"
"You shouldn't mention the Mountain Temple, now you can only find some reason to let them leave tomorrow."
"I didn't think it would be a pleasure for someone to come here. Alas, tomorrow I will go to pick tea early, and you can do whatever you want. ”
Xia Weiliang lay on the bed and listened to the conversation between the couple and waited quietly.
The night is getting deeper.
"Tutu, get up." Xia Weiliang shouted Tutu on the side, but Tutu didn't react at all.
Xia Weiliang shook Tutu again, "Tutu? ”
"You're coming alone." Strong Yunnan dialect flavor.
Xia Weiliang looked around and saw no figure.
"A man comes to the mountain temple." The hoarse and low voice sounded again, Xia Weiliang stood up and heard again, "Bring the food in your bag." ”
Xia Weiliang walked to the suitcase and opened the suitcase of himself and Tututu, took out the snacks inside, and casually found a woven bag in the house and put it all in, "Okay, you come to the Mountain Temple." Xia Weiliang could clearly hear the joy in her voice.
Xia Weiliang used the speaker's words and the surrounding animals and plants to guide the way, and soon arrived in front of the mountain temple, and saw the mountain god again, especially at night, which was even more terrifying.
Xia Weiliang stepped forward and put the woven bag in front of the mountain temple, then sat down and took a bag of snacks from the woven bag out to eat.
"How can you eat it?" The voice is hoarse and low, and there is a clear feeling.
"Anyway, if you don't come out, naturally I ate it myself." When the words fell, Xia Weiliang felt a pull in his hand, and when he looked at it again, the snacks in his hand were gone, and the same was true of the woven bag on the ground, but there was still nothing around.
"I don't know what you are, but after the founding of the People's Republic of China, you are not allowed to become a jing, you have always been worshiped by the incense of the villagers here, and now you have to register if you are fluent." Xia Weiliang still sat on the ground.
"Why, I've been cultivating for so many years, and no one has ever said anything like this, besides, I'm guarding the villagers here, and I've never had an accident, and I've never harmed anyone." The sound of eating was mixed with the sound of eating.
"Registration is for the convenience of management, registered you are the mountain god of the country, the country can find you if you have something, you can find the state if you have something, of course the state can give you a salary, such as chicken that can't be eaten."
"Chicken!" A cloud of white smoke appeared in front of Xia Weiliang's eyes, and after it dissipated, Xia Weiliang saw a small yellow figure, holding a bag of snacks in his hand.
"What you say is true? Is there really endless chicken? ”
Xia Wei smiled coldly, "Yes, I can't finish the chicken, but before you can do it, you have to register, I have to ask you a few questions." ”
"Okay, you ask."
"How did you become the god of the mountains here? What was the reason for the natural vision here the other day? ”
"I have been worshipping the villagers since I was born, and my mother told me to protect them. A few days ago, it was because I ate a fruit, and my mana increased greatly, and I attracted some thunder to hack me, but I have been worshiped and hidden in the mountain temple, so there is nothing to do, and I can speak human words. ”
"You're the only one left now? How long did you live? What kind of fruit is that? ”
"It's true that I'm the only one left now, and I don't know how long I've lived, but I've been born for a long time before this mountain temple was established." The little mountain god stopped halfway through speaking, poured all the snacks in his hand into his mouth and swallowed them, and then continued to take out a bag and tear it open, "I don't know what that fruit is, I just thought it would be delicious and ate it, fortunately, I am usually worshiped by incense, otherwise I really can't beat it." ”
Xia Weiliang was interested when he heard this, "You can take me to have a look." ”
"Yes, yes, but I want to eat chicken."
"I don't have it now, wait until you take me to see it first, and I'll buy it for you tomorrow before I leave."
The little mountain god's bright little eyes rolled, "Okay." ”
