Chapter 126: Gods
A series of references to the gods is unsearchable. But the most appropriate saying that has been handed down to this day is that people have created gods, and gods are people's yearning for beauty and ardent expectations for happiness. It is the condensation of layers of willingness.
In ancient times, natural and man-made disasters occurred one after another, and wars continued. Human power is undoubtedly quite small, and many people at the bottom pin their thoughts on the ethereal gods, praying for protection.
In a word, it's appropriate. "There was no God in the world, but when many believers came, God appeared."
God is high up and does not eat the fireworks of the world. But with the change of the times, people began to uphold a belief that people should be self-reliant, the times began to be peaceful, various tools emerged one after another, the reliance on God became smaller and smaller, and there were more and more atheists.
It also caused the withering of Shinto, the so-called success and defeat and defeat, the gods exist because of people, and they are strong because of people, and in the end they have to be destroyed because of people. These are all causes and effects, and they all have their own fate, and they cannot be controlled by the power of one person.
The fear of God in modern times has become less and less, and many taboos have been lost without a trace.
A minor god like the land is actually born from the previous yin spirits contaminated with the power of wishes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are other ghosts.
It is really surprising to see a true god on the ancestral tomb of the Song family.
"The top priority should be to get rid of this land temple." Uncle groaned.
Get it away? Of course, I knew that I had to take it away, but there was one thing I didn't say, it was easier to please God than to send God. The man made the land a home here, how could it be easy to send it away again?
Forced demolition will definitely not work, and the cause and effect cannot bear it.
The worst way is to move the ancestor of the Song family again, which is easier than asking the land god to leave. However, the relocation of the grave for this reason is not good for the luck of the Song family, and it is just a policy, and it is not advisable until it is absolutely necessary.
"Uncle, you go and buy some incense and yellow watches for worship, and then buy five grains and three animals, and ask the land to come out for a while at night to see if he is willing to move the nest." I said softly.
The land was a human being, and it was among the ghosts and gods. The chance of coming out at night is relatively large, but it also depends on whether to talk about it or not, and it is easy to talk about it.
If we can't talk about it, maybe this fight is settled. What about God? Take it as it is! This is not his territory, and he is the one who is to blame.
Then I asked Brother Zhu to go back and fetch my guy, in the end, it's not a cat or a dog that is easy to fool.
"I have already asked the relationship to find out who did something on my Song family's ancestral grave." Uncle said when he returned.
He has always done things without leakage, and he was almost killed to the point that his family was ruined, how can there be a reason not to retaliate. And I also think the same way, I must not give up on this matter, this beam is really married.
The things were quickly bought back on the land of the ancestral grave. A few of us didn't have the slightest anxiety, and even Xiao Tong stood aside very well-behaved.
"Eight o'clock, it's dark." I said lightly.
Although it was a wilderness, there was not the slightest insect chirping, and there was silence all around. The temple of the land seemed to glow with a little white light, verifying the fact that the true gods lived inside.
At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and even if the lights are not turned on, you can distinguish some things.
"Grains are the guide!" I shouted loudly and stepped on the seven stars, corresponding to the spoon-shaped Beidou in the stars.
Seven thin rays of light fell and descended on the Earth Temple, adding brightness to the original white light.
With one hand, he grabbed it into a bag of grains and swayed it into the sky. Five grains refer to rice, millet and wheat. In Buddhism and even Taoism, it has a very high status and is regarded as the mascot of the essence of heaven and earth.
In ancient times, the monarch even sacrificed the gods with grains, and the priesthood of the lord of the land can be said to be lowly, and it is enough to invite with grains. Accompanied by the three animal sacrifices, the sincerity is full.
"Brother Zhuzi, put the three animals on the table!" I carried the sword of money on my back, the talisman pen in my left hand, and looked intently at the temple.
"Uncle, incense. Read it as I said. β
The uncle held a incense in his hand, and the smoke rose. Kneeling in front of the land temple, "Today, the descendants of the Song family prayed for the land lord to come out and see him, and somehow he wanted to move the shrine to my ancestral tomb, and the two collided." Sacrifice five grains and three animals as a sacrifice to please the god of the land. β
A pour of incense was inserted on the pig's head, and then the uncle sincerely kowtowed to the ground three times. This is the cause and effect of the land god and the Song family, and the reason must be asked.
You must know that God has a divine domain, especially the land, which can only move in a certain area, and generally cannot move its position.
My eyes widened, the land was not as big as I thought. The white smoke on the three sticks of incense seems to have been manipulated, rising vertically and not spilling out in all directions.
A red light began to flash in the small temple, followed by three laughs. The pleases to God had been accomplished, and my uncle rose from the ground in amazement.
This is God! Something that only exists in legends, even if it is just a small god land, can be remembered for a lifetime.
"Who called me?" A majestic voice sounded, and a white-clothed figure appeared above the temple.
It's very different from the land shown in those TV dramas. It's not the kind of short and swarthy image that is made up at all, but more like the Confucian scholars of ancient times. There is a bit of civility and politeness between the gestures.
I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief that God and man are similar to each other, they all have their own habits and tempers. If you meet a stubborn or even arrogant and unreasonable, it is really unlucky.
God's grace is like hell, God's power is like the sea! The majesty of the gods cannot be violated, and no matter how weak they are, they cannot be detained or killed at will.
"It's Song Wen, a descendant of the Song family, who has something to ask for to see the land, I wonder if this place is the domain of the gods?" I walked out, neither humble nor arrogant.
The eyes of the land looked at me, "This place is not my jurisdiction, but again..."
His voice stopped suddenly, and he didn't calm down for a moment, "This is not my jurisdiction!" What's going on? β
"It seems that the land lord doesn't know the reason, someone invited you to this place and wants to be a bad guy in the yin house feng shui, with ill intentions." I glanced out of the corner of my eye.
His expression changed abruptly, and his brow furrowed, "I don't know how many years I've been asleep, but I don't know about it. β
At this moment, the stone in my heart is completely let go. In other words, the land did not collude with the man to do this.
"Who is so wolf-like? Even the deity dares to calculate! "Astonishment is followed by anger.
"Lord Land will calm his anger first, can you inform the jurisdiction, and I will send you home."
"My jurisdiction is in Qiliang Village. This was my mistake, so please don't be surprised. β
He is worthy of being a reader, knowledgeable, and the most important thing is to speak well.
"Qiliang Village? Where's that? There is no such village nearby! Uncle said.
I took out my mobile phone and searched it, but I didn't expect that the Qi Liang mentioned by the land lord was not only not near the ancestral tomb of the Song family, but not even in Jiangcheng, not in H Province, but in Yanjing.
It shouldn't be wrong, it's in Yanjing. It is thousands of miles away from here, and there is only one Qiliang Village that has been searched. It is a thousand-year-old village and has even been selected as a three-star attraction.
"Yanjing! Qiliang Village is in Yanjing. I said after a moment of silence.
The initiator was really scheming, and actually moved the statue of the land god from Yanjing to Jiangcheng, just to put the Song family to death.
"That's right, before I fell asleep, that place was renamed Yanjing. Isn't it far? β
"It's a bit of a distance, but it's not a problem, it's still possible to send the land master back."
As long as you can send him away, everything is easy to say, so as not to cause more trouble.
"There's no hurry, I'd like to see which thief moved my idol and moved me out of the realm." The land snapped.
The gods are not allowed to go out of the legal domain without authorization, and the territory of the land is almost a village, and the legal domain in front of him is Qiliang Village.
"If you are caught, you will be severely punished!" The uncle was equally indignant.
A cane suddenly came out of the earth's hand, and slowly pointed it down on the ground, and one ripple after another appeared in front of him. The various lines flicker, and it looks like a map.
"The thief moved my idol and polluted my breath. And there is cause and effect between me and me. β
The pattern on the ground changed again, and a dazzling red dot appeared on it, as red as blood, and the earth took a piece of grass from the ground, and the white light passed on it.
"This grass will show you the way."
I read it right, when the white light disappeared, the figure of the land lord began to become a little indifferent.
I took the grass, and I had some complications in my heart. Originally, people's belief in God was getting less and less, and he used his own rare inventory, especially when he left his own jurisdiction, it was weakened again.
In fact, he didn't do anything and no one blamed him, but he did it anyway, and he didn't hesitate to spend a little strength. In fact, it is to give the Song family an explanation and make up for his mistakes, this land lord still has a true temperament and is worthy of respect.
"Is there no trace of God in a thousand miles? It seems that everything is gone, and I was right to choose to sleep... Perhaps, it's not rightβ" He sighed and entered the temple in smoke.
"Little one, when this matter is over, I have something to ask for, and whether it is successful or not, I will pay the corresponding reward."
The last voice fell into my ears, and I begged for something? What is it that will ask me, a person who has just had a relationship? Of course, it's my own business whether or not to accept it, and even if he is a god, he can't force me.
"I've seen God today." Uncle opened his mouth sluggishly and said, "Can this grass really find that person?" β
"Uncle thinks it's a little fake?" I pinched the grass and chuckled, "We mortals don't know about the gods and spirits. But if you want to bring the crown, you must bear its weight, and these miracles have to pay a price! β
"Maybe that guy didn't think that there would be a day when this land would recover. He, after all, still miscalculated! β
My whole body trembled, the sound was not coming from any of the four of us, and it was somewhat familiar, and I must have heard it before.
"One wrong step, one wrong step, he lost this game again." A figure appeared, with a slightly rickety figure, holding a white sail in his hand, and slowly walked towards us, "Little sir, I said that you and I have an unfinished fate, and we will meet soon, I didn't lie to you!" β
