Chapter 98: Insatiable
The elder said everything to me when he saw it, and he didn't intend to hide it from me, so he said bluntly: "This bead was given by the water god Niangniang!" There is no one in our village who is in his teens or twenties. ”
Lin Zhu almost softened his feet when he heard this.
My day, ten or twenty hundred.
The Hu here is not the ancient kind of Hu that can only hold dozens of grams, but a big thing that is boxy and wide at the top and down the house, which looks a bit like the "fight" used to harvest grain in the countryside when there was no harvester.
It is said to be Hu, but it is actually a fight.
The golden shark pearl in front of him alone is already priceless.
Ten or twenty hundred, what kind of concept is that?
It is not an exaggeration to say that there are a few pearl mountains, and every household has them.
What else did the elder say just now?
This golden shark bead was given by the water god Niangniang.
You must know that the shark beads are all made of the tears of the shark people, and the golden shark beads, only the tears of the shark emperor can turn into gold. There is not even a shark in this lotus river, how can there be a shark emperor?
If there were, they would have told me yesterday when I had gone over the white cloth.
There's really nothing but them in the Lotus River.
I hurriedly asked the elder: "You said that this golden shark bead was given by the water god Niangniang, so.... What kind of giving is it? ”
The elder didn't want to speak, but the people under the altar also gestured at him one by one to tell him not to speak, and when I turned my head down to look at them, they pretended to be nothing, as if they hadn't made any small gestures just now.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Hanako rushed up and flipped it behind me, turned the silver collar with the Heavenly Master Bell out of the bag and hung it around my neck, and said solemnly: "At the critical moment, the identity certificate should be brought." ”
I was looking puzzled, but I saw that the elder's face changed drastically, and he pointed to the bell around my neck: "You..... You are from the Heavenly Master's Mansion!? ”
"Yes,"
Before I could speak, the little Hanako held his hand behind his back and said, "Everywhere in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, you have the right to explain the things that the Heavenly Master asked, especially if your place is still evil. ”
"Okay."
The elder suddenly lowered his head like a frosted eggplant: "I'll tell you everything." ”
Surprised, I looked down at the silver bell on my collar.
How good is this thing?
It's like the token of the ancient emperor, no wonder so many people in the Xuanmen sharpened their heads to drill into the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
Under our gaze, the elder said slowly: "These beads are all given by the water god Niangniang. Every year we sacrifice a bridegroom to the river, and the next day a fortune boy will carry a basket full of golden shark beads to our door. ”
And this kind of operation?
also sent a wealth boy, it is really getting more and more mysterious. 1
What's going on?
It turned out that 20 years ago, their village was still very poor due to geographical reasons.
In addition, the people in the mountains love the mountains deeply, and they are about to starve to death and refuse to go out to find another way out, so they only stay in the mountain village and live on one acre and three points of land.
One year, the harvest was not very good, and everyone was hungry and thin, and they tightened their belts to survive.
There was a young man who went to wash clothes on the banks of the Lotus River, but he was so hungry that he fell into the river. The young man never got up again, and his body seemed to have been washed away by the water.
After all, the elders sent a lot of people out, but they didn't find them.
At that time, the elder thought that everyone was hungry and dizzy, and he didn't bother to look for it, so he could only forget it. But it's a person anyway, it's a pity that it's so alive and gone, and it's depressed.
That night, the elder had a dream.
In the dream, a graceful woman came out of the misty lotus river, soaking wet. Although she couldn't see clearly, the elder subconsciously felt that she was a beautiful woman and very majestic.
The elder wanted to kneel when he saw her figure.
But the woman said, "Your sacrifice today is delicious, and God is satisfied." To repay you, I decided to give your village something good. Tomorrow morning, you will open the door and you will see. ”
After saying that, it was gone.
The elder had a dream, but he didn't pay attention to it the next day.
The next day, his wife, as usual, got up early in the morning to open the door, but not long after he went out, he heard his wife exclaim: "Ah! ”
The elder hurriedly put on his clothes and went out to take a look, and he was also stunned.
On the stone soil at the door, there is a large mussel shell.
The mussel shell is full of shiny beads.
The beads are round and jade, glowing with a light that can blind the eyes of titanium alloy dogs. That thing, at first glance, is genuine.
The elder was stunned for a moment, and the dream from last night suddenly flashed through his mind.
It's hard to be successful, it's really a gift from the water god.
He took the beads to a laboratory in Beijing overnight, and was told that they were very precious golden shark beads, and that the appraiser had bought all the beads in one of the mussel shells of the village chief with a large sum of money.
The elder took the money and returned to the village happily.
It turned out that every household in the village was like him, and one morning when he woke up, he found a mussel shell at the door, which was full of golden beads.
When the elder returned, he told them that it was called Jin Shark Pearl.
The villagers rejoiced, went out with the golden shark beads, and it didn't take long to find a buyer, and they came back with a large sum of money, and the village has lived a good life since then.
There is no end to human desires.
Like the king of the Ring, he has chopsticks made of ivory, and he also wants a bowl made of ivory. With a bowl made of ivory and a wine glass and cutlery, and then a gorgeous palace, Lutai picked up the star platform to match this ivory.
When the people in the village have food and clothing, they want clothes.
With clothes, I want beautiful women, I want beautiful women, I want a house, I want a better house with a house, so that in the end, it develops to the point that I can't get tired of eating and drinking.
This village has built pavilions and pavilions, and lives like Suzhou gardens and even the Forbidden City. The delicacies of the mountains and seas are better than those of the Empress Dowager Cixi.
Of course, where did so many things come from, of course, they were bought with money.
Where did they get the money?
The golden shark beads were exchanged.
Because the money given by the water god for the first time in exchange for the golden shark beads had already been spent, the villagers asked the elders to ask the water god how to get more golden shark pearls in order to satisfy their various desires.
Because the elder knew how to do witchcraft, he remembered the first time he met the water god in a dream, and the water god came out of the lotus river, and he firmly believed that it was the water god who gave the golden shark pearl.
So he set up an altar by the water's edge and said that he would like to invite the god of water.
Who knew that this water god really met him in his dream.
Although he still couldn't see his face, he was very happy and said that the water god Niangniang thanked you for the golden shark beads you gave us.
The god of water said in the fog that there is no need to thank you, you should sacrifice me and return the salute.
The elder did not understand and asked what the sacrifice was, but the water god smiled and said nothing.
Although he couldn't see it, the elder just felt that the water god was laughing, and the smile was so unpredictable that it made people shudder.
The elder shuddered before remembering the purpose of this trip, and hurriedly stiffened his neck and asked the water god, how can I get more golden shark beads?
The water god had ten slender fingers, and said slowly, as long as you sacrifice a beautiful man to me at this time of year, I will give you the same gift of gold shark beads as now.
When the elder heard this, he remembered the young man in his village who fell into the Lianhe River and didn't find it.
I thought to myself, could it be that the water god gave us a salute, just because we ate that young man?
The human heart is also made of meat.
Thinking of this, the elder felt a heartache, and said to the wet woman who crawled out of the lotus river: "Water God Niangniang! Everyone was raised by their parents. You told me to find a young man to feed you every year, and I really ......"
"Who said I was going to eat?"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the woman unhappily: "I want the young man to come down and marry me, I'm too lonely." It's good to have more people to keep you company. ”
When the elder heard this, he was relieved.
When he returned to the village, he relayed the words of the water god, and asked if there was any young man who would marry the water god and benefit the whole village.
At the beginning, some men who couldn't get their wives were still eager to try, and they heard that they were going to marry the water god instead of sending them to death, so they couldn't wait to go one by one, and they were willing to be thrown into the lotus river as a sacrifice.
At the beginning, the families of those men could still receive their dreams, saying that they were living well with the water god, telling them not to worry, and to enjoy the water god's return gift with peace of mind.
But gradually, the villagers felt that something was wrong.
