Chapter 169: Incense is at its peak
Early in the morning, after Li Yan washed up, he and Qing'er went to Li Jiaguan.
There are a lot of believers who come to Li Jiaguan to worship, and many villagers in Ganling Town, after hearing that the statue of Li Jiaguan has been blessed, have come to worship and pray for the blessing of the gods.
Suddenly, Li Jiaguan's incense was prosperous.
Li Yan stood outside, looking at the villagers coming in and out, and his heart was overjoyed.
The more people who come to worship, the more power of faith will be.
In this world, the power of faith is collected by temples and Taoist temples.
Li Yan only felt that vaguely, as if there was countless energy injected into his body, and he was suddenly refreshed.
"Daochang Li."
"Daochang Li, it's early!"
The villagers who came to worship saw Li Yan and were overjoyed and stepped forward to say hello.
"Haha, Uncle Liu, sister-in-law Wang ...... early"
Li Yan said with a grin.
Now, he is in Ganling Town, and he is also a little famous.
Qing'er on the side, with an admiring look in her eyes, looked at Li Yan and said, "Daochang Li is deeply loved by the people, it seems that ...... Daochang Li must have done a lot of good things, right? ”
"No, no, it's a trivial matter, it's not enough to worry about." Li Yan waved his hand.
While the two were talking, they entered Li's house.
It didn't take long for Uncle Jiu, Wencai, and Qiusheng to also come.
These days, since returning to Ganling Town, several people have lived a very comfortable life, visiting the door when they have nothing to do, drinking tea, and occasionally coming to Li Jiaguan to take a look, and life is boundless.
While a few people were talking, an old man half a hundred years old came outside, with white temples and trembling, carrying a basket and walking into Li's house.
"Uncle, be careful, go slowly."
Wen Cai saw that Lao Suo seemed to have some inconvenient legs and feet, shouted, and hurriedly went up to help Lao Suo.
"Thank you, young man!"
The old man said tremblingly, weak.
Wen Cai helped him to the statue, and he slowly took out the offerings in the basket in his hand.
Two eggs, one apple.
Compared with the other pilgrims who came in to offer their offerings, the offerings of this old man were very shabby.
But even so, Li Yan and the others don't mind.
The most important thing in worshipping the gods is sincerity, which has little to do with offerings.
Some businessmen and wealthy people do evil on weekdays, lose their conscience, and vainly want to pray for the blessing of the gods, even if they worship the delicacies of the mountains and seas, the gods will not accept it.
The old man knelt down tremblingly, and kept muttering in his mouth, and kept kowtowing to the idol.
His expression was a little anxious, and his brows were tightly knit.
The ninth uncle on the side said "huh" and said to Li Yan: "Senior brother, is there something wrong with this old man?" Look at him...... Every time I kowtow, I muttered something in my mouth, could it be that something happened? ”
Li Yan smiled and said, "Senior brother, as soon as you say that, I also found out, or ...... Let's go up and ask? ”
"Okay."
Uncle Nine said and stepped forward.
It just so happened that the old man had finished worshipping God and was about to stand up.
Uncle Nine gently supported him with his hand, helped him up, and said with a smile: "Uncle, please come here!" ”
As he spoke, he helped him aside.
Lao Suo showed a look of surprise, looked at Uncle Jiu, and then looked at Li Yan.
Li Yan saluted and said: "Old gentleman, I am the master of this Li family view, I just saw the old gentleman kneeling and bowing, there was anxiety on his face, could it be that the old gentleman encountered something trouble?" ”
Lao Suo's face froze, he slowed down for a long time, and did not speak, but suddenly sighed.
Li Yan said: "Old man, if you encounter something, you can tell me, maybe, I can help you!" ”
Lao Suo raised his head, looked at Li Yan, and said tremblingly: "The Lord has a heart!" I did run into some trouble. ”
Speaking of this, I saw that Lao Suo's eyes suddenly turned red, and the whole person almost sobbed.
Uncle Nine was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, you speak slowly......"
"Old man, sit down!"
Qing'er brought a small bench, put it aside, and helped Lao Suo to sit down.
After Lao Suo sat down, he slowed down for a moment, sighed again, and then opened his mouth and told the matter one by one.
It turned out that this old man was not from Ganling Town.
Where is he?
Xiangxi, a native of Luo Village.
Luocun is located in the mountains of Xiangxi, and it does not see the light of day all year round, which can be regarded as a paradise.
The families in it were poor, but during this war year, they were able to live and work in peace and contentment.
Lao Suo, originally from Luo Village, was in business a few years ago and came here with his two sons.
The eldest son is called Luo Tian, and the younger son is called Luo Hao.
The two sons were strong and industrious, and they went out to do business with Lao Suo.
In a few years, I made a lot of money.
But a few days ago, Luo Tian was seriously ill, and the treatment was ineffective, so he died.
Lao Su and Luo Hao were extremely sad, thinking that when people died, they had to return to their roots.
At that time, people's thinking was still relatively traditional, and even now, this idea is also engraved in the hearts of many people.
However, it is easier said than done.
This place is far away from Xiangxi, the mountains are far away, and the land of Xiangxi is even more foggy, and the mountains and mountains are difficult to cross.
It is not easy for a living person to enter and exit, let alone bring a dead body.
Lao Suo felt uncomfortable, thinking that his son would die in a foreign country, and he couldn't bear it even more.
On this day, I happened to hear about Li Jiaguan, so Lao Suo came here to worship, wanting to find peace of mind.
After listening to what Lao Suo said, Uncle Jiu and the others all showed embarrassed looks on their faces.
Wen Cai was a little depressed and said: "This trouble is indeed not small. ”
Ordinary catching ghosts and subduing demons, they are not a problem, looking for dragon points, you can also try, cure diseases and save people, but it's okay.
But this matter of transporting corpses is very troublesome.
Not long after this Li Jiaguan opened, this first job was so headache-inducing.
Li Yan hesitated for a moment, looked at Uncle Jiu, and said, "Senior brother, do you have a way?" ”
Uncle Nine looked embarrassed, thought about it, and said, "There is a way, but it is indeed harder." ”
When Lao Suo heard this, his expression was shocked, as if he saw hope, he grabbed Li Yan and begged: "Daochang Li, I am old, and I only have this wish left in this life. ”
Li Yan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, old man, we will definitely find a way to help you." ”
As he spoke, he looked at Uncle Nine.
Uncle Nine frowned, thought for a while, and said, "If you want to transport the corpse and go to Luo Village, then you must borrow a spell. ”
"What spell?"
"Exorcism!"
"Chase out corpses?" When everyone heard this, they were shocked.
Uncle Nine nodded and said, "Yes, this technique of chasing corpses originated from the Xiangxi generation, and it was quite prestigious in ancient times, and it is rumored that it originated from the black witch, back then...... Chi You and Yan Huang fought, and the soldiers were all over the field, so Chi You asked his great wizards to use the art of chasing corpses to drive the corpses back to the land of Miaojiang, junior brother, if you want to help...... The only way to do this is to learn the art of chasing out corpses. ”
Li Yan frowned and said, "Is it difficult?" ”
Uncle Nine smiled and said, "It's not difficult, after all, among my Dao Sect techniques, there is also this method of driving out corpses, but it's just ...... This road is far away, and it will take many days to go this way, and this Luo Village is deep in the mountains, and it may not be easy for you to find it, junior brother. ”
Before Li Yan could speak, the old man on the side suddenly said excitedly: "This is no problem, I can let my youngest son go with Li Daochang." ”
"Since that's the case, then ......," Uncle Nine said, looking at Li Yan.
