Chapter 38 Guandi Temple 1
In the middle of the last century, in a small village at the bottom of Lingbi County, two mischievous children were squatting on the edge of the ridge and patiently waiting for the opportunity.
Suddenly, the child in the lead slammed the forked branch into the ground......
It turned out that at this time, a relatively thick snake was swimming, and I don't know whether it was injured or had just finished shedding its skin, and it looked very weak, and it was stuck by this branch.
"Wow! Caught, what a big snake! "Haha, brother, you're amazing." The two children seemed to be very excited to catch such a large snake for the first time.
"Let's go, go back to the village and show Da Zhuang them!" "Haha, go back to the village!" And because the big snake was very weak and was stuck by the branches, except for the occasional twisting of its body, it was powerless to escape.
"You two bastards, what are you running for?" There were two other farmers working on the edge of the field not far from the ridge, who seemed to be the parents of the children, and when they saw the two children running crazy in the sun, one of the middle-aged men shouted at the children.
"Dad, look, this is the big snake I caught!" "You two stinky boys, you really dare to catch anything. Hurriedly threw it away. But the two children were apparently not afraid, and held the big snake to show off to the adults.
"Lao Li, don't throw it! Take it back and deal with the stew, it's delicious! "At that time, it was the era of economic management, and people's living standards were generally not high, so one of the adults proposed to stew snakes and eat them, and the children were immediately overjoyed when they heard that there was something delicious!
"You let it go......" Just as the two children were happily holding the big snake and preparing to run home, a small figure suddenly appeared on the edge of the field and stopped the four people.
"Look how pitiful it is! Why eat it? Let it go..."This is a child who looks to be only seven or eight years old, his small body looks a little thin, and his clothes are patched.
"Where's the little bunny, nosy." The kindness of the child immediately contrasted with the greed of the four people, which of course several people present were unwilling to admit, and the two adults were a little unable to hang up, watching him throw down a sour sentence contemptuously.
"Hmph, my father said, you are a motherless child, I won't let it go!" In fact, this child is known to all four people, and he is a child of a foreign family in the village, and he is usually bullied by the children in the village.
The sarcasm of the two naughty children and the contempt of the adults kept the thin child speechless for a long time, but the clean little face showed a stubborn expression.
"Brother, let's go back to this big snake and half of us!" "Hey, there's meat to eat!" The two adults saw that it was not early, turned around and walked out of the village with the child, and no one noticed that the thin child just now did not leave, but stared at the big snake motionlessly.
Suddenly, the kid didn't know where the explosive power came from, so he rushed to the side of several people, grabbed a big snake at once, and ran quickly forward.
"Don't run, you bastard, give us back the snake!" This sudden sudden attack made everyone unresponsive, until the child ran out more than ten meters away The two naughty children screamed and chased after him.
"Give us back the serpent! Otherwise, I won't be able to spare you. "That kid was already thinner than those two Tao boys, and he was about to be caught up by those two Tao boys.
"Bastard, let me catch me and beat you to death." When the child ran to a small cliff, he finally couldn't hold on. He stumbled and fell to the ground, but the boy took the opportunity to throw the serpent in his arms off the cliff.
In fact, that big snake is the red dragon, the red dragon has the blood of the ancient gods in its body, and the way of cultivation is also different from ordinary snakes, other snakes are getting bigger and bigger the more they cultivate, and the red dragon will become smaller after each calamity after growing to a certain extent.
"Dare to let go of my booty, see if I don't kill you!"
"Brother, this bastard has caused us to have no meat to eat."
"Big snake, run away!"
And this time it was the red dragon who had just survived a catastrophe, and his body had become smaller and very weak, but this catastrophe was not over, and he encountered a "child catastrophe" If it weren't for this kind child to save him, I'm afraid he would really die in the womb of others.
At that time, the red dragon was thrown off the cliff by the child, although the body was still weak but it was no problem to escape as soon as possible, the red dragon could never forget the child's face when he looked up, although he was beaten, but when he saw that the red dragon was saved, he still showed a relieved expression.
Chilong escaped because of this child, he recorded this kindness deeply in his heart, and he swore that when he recovered his body, he would come back to repay the child.
But it is really not an easy thing for Chilong to take care of his body, and it has been a year since his body finally recovered!
Chilong searched all the way according to the only trace of breath left on the child's body, but he didn't want to come to a dilapidated small temple gate, and at that time a lot of people were gathered in front of the temple gate, Chilong didn't dare to show up, and observed from a distance.
"At that moment, he turned over and jumped onto the BMW Chitu, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand shouted!" I saw a bald old gentleman in the crowd talking about "Three Kingdoms" like a river, and the people around him also listened to it with relish.
Chilong carefully observed the group, and he found that the child he was looking for was also in the crowd, and he was also fascinated by the hearing at this time.
"If you know what will happen next, please listen to the next breakdown. Thank you! Chilong finally waited for the storyteller in front of the temple to finish the book of "Warm Wine and Kill Huaxiong", but after the crowd dispersed, he found that the child had not left with the crowd.
Seeing that he and the storyteller had moved the table back to the temple, Chilong realized that the child was probably a family with the storyteller, and that they lived in a small temple. Seeing that everyone was gone, Chilong secretly entered the temple gate.
It is said that this temple is generally not allowed to enter the spiritual creatures like the red dragon, but today in order to find that child, I can't take care of it so much.
However, after entering the small temple, Chilong found that this is a Guandi Temple, Guandi Jun and the statue of Zhou Cang Guanping are together, although it is a little dilapidated, but it can be seen that there are still people who take care of it, and at the same time, Chilong can also see that this statue does not have a trace of aura, and I think that the true spirit of Guandi should never come here.
Seeing this, the red dragon was relieved, climbed along the wall to the beam on the roof of the main hall, and then carefully observed.
"It's all in vain, and there are few people who give money." "Forget it, as the saying goes, no gentleman doesn't raise artists, but he can't starve to death for our grandfather." As soon as Chilong climbed the beam, the child and the storyteller carried the desk into the hall, obedient stubble, there is no doubt that they are the two of them, and they make a living by telling stories, but obviously their income is not very good tonight.
"Dad, you must be tired after standing all night!" "Good boy, dad is not tired." The storyteller looked to be nearly fifty years old, and was a little tired from standing and talking for half a night, but the boy was very filial and waited by his side.
"Dad is really not tired, tomorrow there is a big set in the town, Dad will go to the market to tell stories, and you will be obedient at home." Chilong could see that although the two of them had a hard life, their relationship was very good, and he had been thinking about what opportunity to repay his kindness.
"Hahaha~ I saw you!" Originally, I thought I was hiding very hidden, but I didn't want the kid to be very clever, so I had already found the red dragon hiding on the beam, but I just didn't make a sound.
"Who are you shouting? Who do you see? "Dad, it's okay." In this way, the red dragon lived on the beam of the Guandi Temple, and then became closer and closer to the child.
"You're the snake I saved a year ago, aren't you? Are you here to repay the favor? "That kid may not have a playmate, or maybe he is innocent by nature, he is not afraid of this big snake at all, but he doesn't care whether this big snake can understand or not, he will tell the red dragon what is on his mind.
"No, it's me who should repay the favor! You know, I'm an orphan thanks to my dad who took me in. My father has paid a lot for me, his life is not easy, I must repay him! He is really good to me, do you think he is the reincarnation of Emperor Guan's grandfather? ”
In the child's narration, the red dragon learned little by little about the child's poor background.
It turned out that the child's father's nickname "Song Bald" was a wandering folk storyteller, and there were no tools in this line with a mouth, but it was also a hungry and full meal.
But I didn't want him to be woken up in the middle of the night by a baby's cry. This Mr. Song was bold, so he walked out of the temple gate to check the situation, but he didn't expect that he found it strange as soon as he opened the temple door.
It turned out that I don't know when someone put a small quilt bag at the entrance of the temple, and the bag was wrapped in a crying child.
Song Bald understood that life was not easy these years, and some ruthless parents threw the children who could not be supported in front of the temple gate, in order to bless the gods and Buddhas, so that the children could avoid pain and take care of them as soon as possible.
Song Bald picked up the child and looked around, but there was no one around, and he didn't know who threw the child, which made Mr. Song a little embarrassed.
After all, he is also the master of the precarious day! How to take care of a child, but listening to the child's miserable cry, Mr. Song really couldn't bear to throw the child down.
"What other books do you have with children? Let's go home and watch the kids! "Let's go, let's not look at it!" In the end, Mr. Song decided to adopt the child, but at that time the child was small, and the craft of storytelling could not be done, so Mr. Song could only live in the Guandi Temple, reclaiming wasteland and planting some food on weekdays.
"If it weren't for my father, I would have died a long time ago! So I must be filial to my father. After seven or eight years, the child finally grew up, and Mr. Song named the child "Baisheng", hoping that the child would live a long life.
"Huh! It's my dad who is back, and I'll come back to you tomorrow to play with Orochi. After hearing Baisheng's life experience, Chilong felt even more sorry for this poor child, and he came to listen to Baisheng almost every night.
"Dad, you're back, are you tired today?" Chilong also thought of using some ways to make the life of the two of them better, but he knew in his heart that being rich in this world was not necessarily a good thing, as long as the child could grow up safely.
"Good boy, look at the fire that Daddy bought you! Serve hot. "Dad, why don't you eat it?" "Daddy isn't hungry, hehe." Fortunately, Mr. Song really feels sorry for Baisheng, treats Baisheng as his own, and would rather suffer himself than give up Baisheng to suffer a little grievance, which Chilong feels lucky for Baisheng.
At that time, the red dragon only hoped to protect the safe growth of a hundred lives, as long as a hundred lives were safe!
Countless nights under the starry sky, Chilong would listen to Baisheng's crisp voice and sing the song he had learned from Mr. Song.
Baisheng said that he likes to listen to his father talk about "Guan Gongbiography" the most, and he wants to be a big hero like Emperor Guan when he grows up.
"I'm going to tell the story tomorrow, but what I want to say is "The Legend of the Righteous Demon" Ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Bai Chang has become a young man at the age of seventeen or eighteen, but he is not as powerful and tall as the grandfather of Emperor Guan that he longed for when he was a child, he is still thin, with phoenix eyes and red lips, and he is more feminine, but he is a beautiful man.
"By the way, have you ever heard of the Legend of the Righteous Demon? I guess you haven't heard of it, so I'll tell you a little bit about it! "Baisheng inherited his father's business and learned the craft of storytelling, but when he grew up, Baisheng didn't like to talk about "Guan Gong Biography", but liked to talk about another traditional "The Legend of the Righteous Demon......
"Let's go, don't rub it off!" But at this moment, there was a sudden noise and scolding from the road in front of the Guandi Temple.
"The judgment of the masses of the people against you has just begun! Let's go, don't ink. Bai Sheng and Chilong looked for prestige, and saw a group of people pushing an old man wearing a tall paper hat towards the Guandi Temple.
"Down with all the tumors of feudal superstition!" The two took a closer look, and it was Mr. Song who was pressed in front, and for some reason, he was being tied up with a rope by this group of people and kicked and scolded.
"What are you doing? Let go of my dad! "Bai Sheng is the most filial to his father on weekdays, and when he saw this, he couldn't stand it, so he jumped off the roof and rushed to the eyes of this group......
"He propagated the feudal superstitions of the old society all day long, we want to break the four olds, and we must educate him well!" And Bai Sheng couldn't understand the words of that group of people, although he hadn't read a book, but he understood one thing, his father was a good person!
"What do you want to do? Be honest with me! Don't try to run away. The little leader of the gang had a very tough attitude, and when he saw that Mr. Song wanted to step forward to stop his son, he immediately punched him, this Mr. Song was getting older and his health was getting worse and worse, and he couldn't bear the sound at all and fell to the ground.
"You... You guys!! Father! Baisheng really didn't understand what was going on, why these people in front of him couldn't get along with an old storyteller.
After Baisheng reacted, he immediately pounced in front of his father, but as soon as he pulled his father's clothes, Baisheng found that his father's body was full of whip marks! Each one is swollen and high, which makes people can't bear to look at it directly......
"What the hell did you guys do to my dad!" "We must resolutely defeat the remnants of feudalism and break the four old and establish the four new!" It turned out that before Mr. Song was escorted back, there had been two criticism meetings!
"I don't care who you are, but I can't touch my father!" The most important thing in Bai Sheng's daily life is his father, and at this time, when he saw that his father was being abused like this, he couldn't suppress his anger, and he rushed towards the little boss with a fist.
"Bastard, let you beat my dad!" Although Baisheng is weak, after all, he grew up doing rough work since he was a child, and his anger has rushed to the top of his head, and his powerful explosive power should not be underestimated.
"You're ...... Dare to maintain the four olds! Revolt against mass education! This punch knocked the little leader who was more than 1.8 meters away two or three meters away before falling to the ground, and now this little leader is gone!
"Boy, you dare to beat our captain! Grab him, everybody! "This little leader turned out to be the squad leader of the county Revolutionary Committee, although he also defeated many people with a fierce force, but after all, he was outnumbered, and soon he couldn't support it......
A group of people quickly controlled Baisheng, Baisheng was lying on the ground and refused to admit defeat, he didn't understand what he and his father had done wrong? will suffer from these ......
"It's all my fault that you let him go, what's coming at me!" Mr. Song looked at Baisheng, who was not lightly injured, and his tears had already blurred his eyes, and he really wanted to go up for Baisheng to block those punches and kicks, but he didn't get up after struggling several times.
This little boss himself is not a serious person, he is a bully guy who is idle on weekdays, but this time he took the opportunity to gather a group of people, and he is even more like a fish in water, and he does all kinds of evil!
"It's not okay to hurt my father, and I won't let you go if I'm a ghost!" Baisheng, who grew up listening to all kinds of commentaries, just didn't bow his head at this time, he thought he was right, his father was a good person, and he wanted to protect his father.
"Lao Tzu has never been afraid of ghosts and gods!" "Come on, then!" The little leader's stick slammed into Baisheng's head, and blood splattered out......
"Daddy... I ......, "Baisheng has never been afraid of death, if it weren't for my father, he would have died more than ten years ago, but I don't want to die so early now."
"Daddy...... The son can't... Filial piety to you again...... Take care! "I haven't had time to be filial to my father......
But it's too late......
Looking at Baisheng lying in a pool of blood, Mr. Song trembled...... How could his son lose his young life for himself, at this time Chilong was also shocked, he didn't expect things to develop like this......
Looking at Bai Sheng, who was lying lifeless in a pool of blood, the red dragon looked up to the sky and roared, he was really annoyed!
He swore he wouldn't let everyone here go!
Everyone here who has hurt a hundred lives should not want to leave!
