Chapter 288: Two More Ones
My grandfather calculated that in three days, someone would visit, and the luck was unpredictable. I subconsciously thought that it must be Ma Gui.
Unexpectedly, there were still people behind Ma Gui.
"Grandpa, something isn't right! I feel that Ma Gui's words just now are also flawed, he said that his oil and salt were bought in the village under the mountain. However, at the foot of the mountain is our old Jieling Village, which has been barren for many years, even if someone is carrying a pick, they will not go to a deserted village to sell, right? I voiced my doubts.
Grandpa nodded slightly, and he said, "You're right. But Ma Gui may not be deceiving, he is just a tool used by others, everything is careful. ”
"I'll go out and have a look." I said.
"Go ahead, tread carefully." Grandpa reminded.
Behind this matter, a deep smell of conspiracy can be felt. However, for now, everything is shrouded in a cloud of suspicion, which is difficult to figure out.
The second fat and I went out together.
The oil and salt that was sprinkled on the ground, and Er Fat had already found a way to dispose of it. I feel like the problem lies with the oil and salt, and the cloth bag.
I don't know, what is in that cloth bag, and what is the purpose?
After going out.
Er Fat and I were still hiding behind a big rock nearby, and my grandfather had already used a spell to hide the mountain temple. Looking from this direction, you can only see a shrine of less than one square meter on the opposite mountain rock, and the mountain temple couplet with the mighty mountains and rivers is pasted next to it.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, there was no one to see.
However, I knew that since my grandfather said that there were people, there would definitely be people coming. As soon as I thought of this, I saw a person swaying on the road up the mountain in front of me.
I only saw his people, but did not hear his voice.
I secretly said that it was strange, and when I got a little closer, I saw that this man was barefoot and had no shoes on. The mountain road is not only bumpy, but there are even many places full of thorns.
Going up the mountain without shoes is purely looking for excitement. I used illusions to hide my figure, and when I looked closely, I found that the reason why this man was walking staggered was because his feet were injured, which should have been injured by thorns, and the soles of his feet were bloody. Communicating with that person, he was carrying two jars in his hands, and his pockets were bulging, and he must also be carrying the same cloth bag as Ma Gui's hand.
If you say, Ma Gui's matter is a coincidence. Then it is definitely not a coincidence that such a person came again, holding the same thing.
When the man saw the shrine, he hastened his pace to pass it, regardless of the pain in his feet.
Burn incense to the shrine of the temple of Nashan, wait for him to offer incense, and kowtow. I heard my grandfather's voice, and I don't know how he got it, it sounded very ethereal, as if the feeling of a divine manifestation was the same.
"Who's kneeling?" My grandfather asked.
Hearing this, the man was obviously startled, and craned his neck and looked around, as if looking for the source of the sound.
"Don't look for it, I'm the mountain god you're worshipping!" Grandpa reminded.
"Huh? True...... There really is a mountain god! I...... My name is...... Ma Sanshan, the Ma family in Dongwa Village, my wife is lost, the mountain god, can you help me take a look? Ma Sanshan kowtowed as he spoke. He kowtowed very religiously, and blood oozed from his forehead.
Why is it a shame again?
Moreover, it looks like it was really lost.
"Get up and go into the temple and speak." My grandfather said.
Then, a burst of white smoke appeared in front of the mountain temple, showing the temple gate. Er Fat and I appeared, and took Ma Sanshan into the compound of the mountain temple.
At this time, Ma Sanshan did the same thing as Ma Gui. He left the jar and the cloth bag at the door. It seems that this matter should be the key.
Since he did, I couldn't let him do it, and I don't know why, but I had a hunch that something might happen if it was left outside.
Ma Sanshan put down his things, and I immediately said: "Uncle Ma, don't put your things outside, there are many wild beasts in the mountains, I'm afraid they will eat your things." ”
"This ...... It's okay, this thing isn't worth a few bucks! "Ma San Mountain Road.
"Let's take it with you, enter the door empty-handed, it's not easy to see the mountain god, isn't it?" I asked rhetorically. Ma Sanshan was a little embarrassed, he picked up the cloth bag, and said: "The two jars should be fine, just leave them outside, and I will just take the cloth bag." ”
"You might as well take it!" Er Fat also said, the expression on his face was naturally to scare Ma Sanshan.
"Okay, I'll take it!"
Saying that, he was very reluctant, took the altar, and entered the mountain temple. After entering the temple, when I saw my grandfather, I had the same reaction as Ma Gui, because people of the older generation like them had heard of my grandfather's name, and naturally they also knew the old fairy of Laojieling Village.
After the divination, he had already learned the whereabouts of Ma Sanshan's wife, and after thanking him again and again, he was ready to leave.
But just as he was about to take the altar and leave, suddenly, the temple door of the mountain temple was pushed open, and a person asked, "Unexpectedly, there is really a mountain temple here!" ”
"Ma Sanshan, are you here too? I just went up the mountain, and I met Ma Gui, what a coincidence, so many people went up the mountain to burn incense today? ”
I know the man who speaks.
In Dongwa Village, there are many people with the surname Ma, this person is a bamboo craftsman, called Ma Quanfa, who makes a living by weaving bamboo baskets, straw hats, bamboo mats, etc. for others. In the past, I often went to our village to process these things, and my grandfather also invited him to come over and make bamboo baskets and baskets.
When he came in, he was even more surprised when he saw my grandfather.
"Lin Lao Xian'er, are you here too? I haven't seen you in years, and I thought you had gone to another place to develop. Ma Quanfa said.
At this time, Ma Sanshan had not left yet, he said to Ma Quanfa: "What Lin Lao Xian'er, Quanfa, he is the mountain god, you look at it with your eyes wide open, this is a mountain temple." ”
"Ah, Mountain God!"
As soon as he heard this, Ma Quanfa hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, and he muttered: "No wonder, you calculated so accurately, it turned out that the mountain god had descended to earth!" ”
He didn't finish a sentence, but my grandfather asked first: "Ma Quanfa, is there a lost population in your family?" ”
Ma Quanfa waved his hand and said, "No, no, my donkey pulling the mill was lost." You know, I'm a bamboo stalker, and if I didn't have a donkey to pull the stone grinder, I wouldn't be able to make a bamboo mat! ”
"You too, someone told you in a dream that you can solve it by going here to find the mountain god?" Grandpa continued.
"You're really a god, you know this?" Ma Quanfa looked surprised.
"You sit there, write down your own birthday, and I'll settle it with you later." After Grandpa finished speaking, Ma Quan panicked and began to write his birthday eight characters.
That Ma Sanshan was waiting for Ma Quanfa, as if he was ready to go down the mountain with him.
Both of them are from Dongwa Village, and they are probably going to go all the way back.
After that, my grandfather asked about some other things, and the answers of the three people were all similar. It seems that someone deliberately arranged it.
Subsequently, after my grandfather calculated the location of the donkey for Ma Quanfa, Ma Quanfa and Ma Sanshan left together. As we were leaving, my grandfather reminded them that there was oil at the door and told them to be careful.
The two of them walked directly past the oiling sprayer.
Then, left the mountain temple.
After they left, I closed the door of the mountain temple, walked over, and asked my grandfather, "Will anyone else come?" ”
"There shouldn't be, no matter what, it's just three things." When Grandpa said this, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and he asked, "By the way, did the last Ma Quanfa who came just now bring the same altar when he entered the mountain temple?" ”
After thinking about it carefully, it seems that there is indeed none, and it is he who came in by himself.
Because, when he came, Ma Sanshan hadn't left yet, so my grandfather hadn't used magic to hide the mountain temple, and he was able to find the mountain temple directly.
"I don't think I brought anything with me!" I said.
The second fat and the goddess Wang next to him also nodded at the same time, expressing their affirmation.
Upon hearing this, my grandfather immediately went over and opened the door of the mountain temple. I followed and found two jars and a cloth bag at the door.
Grandpa went over and stretched out his hand to lift the two jars, but when his hand touched the handle, there was a loud noise.
The salt jar and the oil jar were broken at the same time, and one spilled the ground, and the salt was also sprinkled all over the ground.
And when Grandpa reached for the cloth bag, the cloth bag seemed to be weathered, and it broke when it was touched, and the contents were scattered all over the ground.
