Chapter 2038 43 Great Holy War: Monkey Temple of the Starry Sky
,
The Monkey Temple was built on the side of the road at the entrance of Zhangshuchong, which is also the site of Monkey Mountain. And it can be seen that this monkey temple has been built for some time, it is built of some ancient blue bricks and stone slabs, and there are some moss vines on the side of the wall, and even the threshold has become rotten with the passage of time. There are some blue bricks and broken tiles inside, and people who can see passers-by pass by here will come to shelter from the rain or something. The temple is not big, only more than ten square meters, and there is an offering table inside, which is already separated by only a board. However, there is still a clay pot on it, with a lot of incense candles inserted in it, which is the nearby villagers who came to pray for the monkeys to bless the smooth entry into the mountain. The green slab brick is the old kind of long brick and big brick, and the use of the right is also the Ming tile. The whole temple is brightly lit, and the sun shines through the Ming Tile, which adds a warm atmosphere to the temple.
Several of them have watched "Journey to the West", and the image of the great sage's uprightness and hatred is deeply known in their hearts, and when they come to this temple, they are not afraid at all, but they feel close. You must know that the image of Sun Wukong is a character in after all. But this is the side of their lives.
Gou Ersan said shamelessly: "This monkey temple is also hundreds of thousands of years old, right?" ”
Yan Chun couldn't kick this product out, and it was insulting to say such ignorant words in front of an old villager.
The old man on one side continued: "I am not satisfied with you, this temple was built by my grandfather, but those children who herd cattle paint on the wall here, but it doesn't help, presumably the monkey will not blame the children." These must have been made like this, too, by naughty children. ”
When the old man said this, he gave him a wooden plank that was placed on the ground as an incense table, and put it on two bricks as four legs. "In the past, my grandfather would come to clean when he had time, but now after a few generations, those children don't say anything, and they don't care so much. I don't say anything until I see it. But this is to no avail, it can be seen that this monkey belly can support the world. ”
However, when Jin Feng saw the old man move, he also bent down and picked up a broken broom to sweep the dust and broken tiles on the ground in this temple. Yan Chun is not idle, these things seem to be nothing, and the gods can't see them. Use a wooden stick to pick out the cobwebs at the four corners. The dog stammered and stammered separately to clear the excess broken bricks out of the temple.
And what they didn't know was that while they were doing all this, the two ponds on Monkey Mountain were bursting with waves and circles.
The old man was a little happy to see that the young people were not as unreverent as the children. He didn't take this matter to heart, but when these young people mentioned it, they thought of his grandfather's instructions, so he started to give an explanation to his heart or grandfather.
The old man pointed to the tablet above: "It turns out that my grandfather asked the painter to draw an image of a monkey, and because of the age on it, the image of the monkey does not know where it has gone, but it is those naughty children who have been in the old age, and when they see this image, they also paint various statues of gods with stones on those green bricks." This can be regarded as a sustenance for the heart.
The old man looked at everything in the temple and couldn't help but nodded: "This is not bad." None of us have ever seen what the monkey looks like, not even my great-grandfather. He only heard the old man say here, it was a long time before someone saw a monkey come here, and the next day there was this mountain. When there is no Monkey Mountain, there are some fertile fields here. This Monkey Mountain is a protected mountain for the villagers in this vicinity. ”
Yan Chun can still see that although this temple has been around for a long time, these walls and bricks have not been destroyed at all, that is, there are vines around them to protect them, and they happen to be built under a big camphor tree. "It's a good place. There are trees and vines, and even after a few decades, this temple will still stand upright. ”
"Young people don't know that this tree is not very big, when I was young, this tree was not there, and now it has grown so big unconsciously. This is a monkey to bless the peace of the party. As he said this, the old man kowtowed a few more times in the direction of the incense burner.
The old people were so pious, Yan Chun saw Jin Feng on the side, and also pretended to bow down. Jin Feng Gou'er stammered three times, and was affected by Yan Chun, and also kowtowed.
But the two ponds of Monkey Mountain, which they didn't know, turned smartly, like two eyes turning.
"You don't know, there are two ponds on this monkey mountain, I heard the old man say that they were made of the two eyes of the monkey, and the monkey may have been punished by the emperor of heaven because of some heavenly rule at that time." The old man's riddles are more feudal than they come.
These things are said to be coincidental or not, or the monkey encounters some powerful opponent, and its vitality is greatly damaged, and when it arrives, it will turn into a mountain to repair its vitality. Yan Chun didn't want to say this and block the old man. In any case, I have to thank this old man today. After this in his heart, he was even more sure that this god believed in it, and did not believe in it. But maybe the sky and the sky that I see are also a chance factor.
The old man pointed to a round mountain that everyone saw in front of him: "That mountain is Monkey's Head Ridge, how much does it look like a monkey's head here?" ”
Yan Chun couldn't help but sigh at the miracle of the creator: "This monkey's head ridge is really like a monkey's head, presumably this legend is not unfounded." ”
I couldn't help but feel moved, and said to the old man: "Is there still two ponds in Monkey Head Ridge, let's go and see." ”
The old man was more interested when he heard it, and he also had a chance to chat, and it was rare that these young people were still willing to listen to what the old man said about him, and he was even more energetic. Pointing to the mountain in front of me, there is a road from here that can be just right, and I will take you to see it. ”
When the old man passed a stone arch bridge with a few people, he said to a few people: "I heard my father's old man say that my grandfather was rescued here, and the road was not so wide at that time, and my grandfather was driven by a tiger, and he wanted to go up here, where it was high. The tiger followed. A thousand pounds of stone fell from it and smashed it on the tiger, killing the tiger. My grandfather called the people from the village to carry the tiger back and built a temple for it. ”
Yan Chun's eyebrows relaxed: "Is that the unknown position just the shape of a hand?" ”
The old man looked at a large half-buried stone on the ground: "This is the same stone, and now it has fallen into this ditch unconsciously." ”
Dog San continued: "It must have been done by repairing a canal, but fortunately, no one could move such a big stone." ”
Coming to the edge of the pond, Yan Chun looked at the mountain in the middle. The stammering high said first: "Isn't this the bridge of the nose?" "The small ridge separated by this shape is a nose bridge.
The old man knelt down and kowtowed to the pond: "The monkey has appeared again, the water here has not fluctuated like this in the past, and now it has become living water." ”
