Chapter 143 Concentric Words (3)
The mute woman ran out again, chirping and chirping.
I don't know who it was, I played a long note with a piccolo, and there was a "...... sound", and after a while, several villagers from the entire Xiushan Mountain came.
This is called Autumn Pattern and even more overwhelming.
What the hell is going on?
The courtyard door opened, and the villagers poured in, black and oppressive, crowding the entire small courtyard. The mute woman muttered something to them again, and the villagers knelt down to Autumn Pattern.
Someone also got incense, and the people in the whole mountain knelt and kowtowed to the autumn pattern. It's as if Qiu Wen is their leader, their mother, so solemn, so respectful.
Autumn pattern is certainly not a mother. The one who lives in the palace is called Niangniang.
There are not many people in Xiushan, but there are only two or three hundred people. There are more men and fewer women. They moved forward and bowed, and stayed there. When the incense is burned out, come and bow down again. And so on and so forth, and the time dragged on until the afternoon.
The mute woman was very excited.
She knelt down and stepped forward, begging Autumn Pattern to raise her arm again, so that the whole mountain could see the striking marigold brand on her wrist.
The old woman was mute and could not speak. But Autumn Moon understood what she meant.
What's to be done? Is it worth all the fuss they make about a mere brand? The mountain people of Xiushan bowed to her devoutly, as if they were performing some kind of ritual.
Are they going to sacrifice themselves as human beings, and pretend to bow down before they die? Thinking that these mountain people were not from the Central Plains, but migrated from Fanbang, Qiu Wen still felt scared.
But she didn't want to die in a mess, what the hell was, she just wanted to find out.
Qiu Wen recognized that among the kneeling crowd, there were a few women who had met in the morning, so he grabbed the sleeve of a person and asked curiously. The woman was frightened, and replied with trembling mouths: "Marigold Niangniang, you are our Marigold Niangniang. In the morning, I offended my mother, and asked my mother to let me go magnanimously. The woman knelt down again and kept kowtowing.
Marigold Niang?
What do you mean?
Autumn Pattern is completely confused.
An hour ago, she was still racking her brains about how to get out of here smoothly, but now it's okay, the whole mountain people are really afraid of her, and they call her Marigold Niangniang?
She's not a palace lady. However, listening to them talk about this marigold, it seems that there is some origin. Autumn pattern wants to know more.
"I'm not a marigold, you're all kneeling to the wrong person."
"Mother, you are."
"Not really."
"Niangniang, the marigold brand on your wrist proves that you are the real marigold reincarnated."
Reincarnation?
Qiu Wen thought about it, and suddenly understood in her heart: "You mean, the calendula is just like me, after being reincarnated, there will be an extra marigold mark on her wrist?" ”
"Yes, exactly."
"Sixty years have passed since Marigold died. In the past 60 years, a lot of things have happened in Xiushan, and everyone says that it is the reason why Niangniang still refuses to be reincarnated. If the mother is reincarnated, she will bless us with smooth sailing. It turns out that the mother has been reincarnated a long time ago, thank God! ”
The people of this Xiushan are also surnamed Buddha. But they don't worship Nyorai, or Bodhisattva, but they believe in Marigold Niangniang. Legend has it that the calendula is a marigold, which has survived for thousands of years in the back garden of Rulai, silently opened, silently withered, and never complained. One day, the Buddha went to the back garden to see the iron tree flower, but unexpectedly saw the overflowing flower next to the iron tree flower. The Buddha was furious. The flowers on the other side bloom in the Netherworld, not the Heavenly Court, whose fault is it for being so slack? The Buddha eventually became angry with the calendula god. Marigold didn't dare to explain and wept silently. There were many tears, and the flowers withered and died day by day. The dead marigolds used their souls to tell the Buddha that she was innocent. This time, she was about to go through the nether tribulation, and before leaving, she still didn't forget to tell the Buddha.
The Buddha repented. But it was too late. The marigold came to the world, entered the Xiushan realm, and was reincarnated as a beautiful girl. The girl took pity on the poverty here, and with a wave of her hand, the stones all over the mountain turned into ore containing precious jade, just for the mountain people to find out. Each marigold will only live to be sixty years old, and the next marigold will undoubtedly have a natural marigold imprint engraved on her wrist. Every Marigold Niangniang was born in an ordinary family in the Xiushan Mountains. But in recent decades, the entire Xiushan has not been able to find the next marigold lady who has been reincarnated. They thought it must be Marigold Niangniang who was angry and disappointed, and didn't want to leave her soul here, and wanted to go elsewhere. Today, they saw the marigold mark on Akimo's wrist, and it had been 60 years.
Among the mountain people, only one of the oldest grades had seen the previous Marigold Niangniang. The mountain man couldn't say anything excited, he couldn't kneel because of his inconvenient legs and feet, but he still shook his beard and told everyone present: The new marigold lady looks exactly the same as the previous one, providence, providence.
Abang's mother, the mute woman, also gestured excitedly to everyone, to the effect that although she had not seen the previous Marigold Lady, she had seen her portrait. The new marigolds really look alike.
Autumn Moon understood what the dumb lady meant, and she just wanted to laugh in her heart. If she was, why didn't she say it when she walked in the door just now? A small marigold brand, but she quickly turned the danger into a disaster, and Qiu Wen suddenly wanted to laugh, this Xiushan villager is so stupid. Besides, this is clearly just a coincidence, she doesn't believe in Buddhism, and she doesn't believe in any reincarnation in this world. She knew that she was raised by the Wei family, but she also wondered in her heart, this brand was artificially engraved, who is it? Are they your biological parents? But why did she carve a lifelike marigold brand on herself?
However, such a coincidence, by mistake, at a critical moment, also happened to save himself.
Autumn Wen has made a decision in his heart, this is a wonderful and rare God-given opportunity, and he must not let it go. She smiled and reassured them: "It seems that I am indeed the marigold lady you have in mind." I am also very happy to be reincarnated and return to Xiushan, and I wish you all the best. ”
Abang came to plead guilty.
Akimoru pretended to forgive him.
"You don't know, after all, you don't have the eyes of the gods."
Qiu Wen asked where the previous Marigold Niangniang lived?
"She lives alone in the woods."
Upon hearing this, Akimoru was still scared. According to Abang, there are jackals, tigers and leopards in the forest. When she goes in, won't it be their meal?
"Is there a house in the woods?"
"There is a fine house."
If there is a house, there will be people. It's just that Qiu Wen still wants to know whether there are really tigers and wolves in the forest, she wants to confirm it, and asks Abang: "You once told me that there are fierce tigers and leopards in the forest, is this true?" ”
Abang hurriedly shook his head, knelt down and explained: "That's my nonsense, please forgive my sins." ”
Qiu Wen was angry in his heart, and he had nowhere to sprinkle it, and when he heard this, he said: "Dare to deceive Marigold Niangniang, are you really impatient?" You drag him out and find a steep cliff and let him think about it alone for a month. ”
Anbang's mother came to plead, and her mouth whimpered.
Qiu Wen said: "He is your son, and it is said that you have not taught it well." Since the cliff is steep, there is no need to go up, punish your son to go to the mountains to pick stones, and pick hundreds of catties to cut out the beautiful jade inside. ”
"Yes."
Since there are fierce beasts in the mountains, Autumn Moon made a decision: go to the forest to see, is there a chance to escape? Since the forest can enter, there is also a way out.
"Stand down, I'm tired. If anyone wishes, let me lead the way, and I will go to the house where I lived in my previous life, and I will have a look. ”
"Yes."
Autumn Pattern, under the guidance of an elderly man, really entered the forest. I don't want to have a lot of trees in the forest. That Xu Yapo was also wrong, Xiushan is not a barren mountain, and there are still many beautiful trees and trees.
Sure enough, she saw that there was a small and delicate building in the lush woods. The building is in the shape of a tower, and it looks like it has about six floors.
Qiu Wen asked the old man, "What is this building called?" ”
"Niangniang, it's called Marigold Tower."
"Good. You go out. I only need to ask someone to bring three meals a day, and I need to cultivate my self-cultivation for a few days, and no one is allowed to step half a step without my instructions. ”
The old man replied respectfully again.
Qiu Wen looked at the tall small building, and couldn't help but be happy. As the saying goes: Stand tall and see far. As long as you go to the highest point of the floor, you can overlook the entire Xiushan Mountain. Then, it will not be difficult to find a way out.
