Chapter 151 Ginseng Doll
Wang turned his head and continued: "The phenomenon of reincarnation of this mallet is more in the mountains than in the garden, mainly the mallets in the mountains, which are often attacked by wild beasts and insects, and whenever this happens, the growth of the mallet will stop for a year or several years, and then sprout and grow again. ”
After listening to it, I said with emotion: "It turns out that this mallet is so magical, no wonder they all say that this mallet is a treasure." ”
Wang turned his head and said, "This is not magical, the most amazing thing is the ginseng doll, which is a doll like a child." ”
I said, "Is there really such a doll in this Changbai Mountain?" ”
Wang put his head and said: "Yes, we are in the northeast of this Gada, there are many legends about ginseng dolls, a few years ago I met an old Taoist, we hit it off at first sight, two people often talk about ginseng dolls, the old Tao said to me, in fact, animals cultivate immortals, because animals have spiritual sense, in order to cultivate immortals, and plants are different, generally have sex and lifeless, spiritual sense is extremely rare. In other words, although they can grow and reproduce, they have no soul. How can a thing without a soul become a refinement?
I asked Lao Dao, how can that mallet become a fine? Lao Dao told me this, he said that an object, after absorbing the essence of heaven and earth for a long time, is easy to attract ghosts and gods and other things, these ghosts and gods have been attached to this object for a long time, and they think that they are one with this object. Therefore, the pipa essence in the god list, all kinds of peach essence and willow monsters are the same reason.
For thousands of years, it has absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon in the forest, and over the years, it will attract elves and other things to attach to it, and practice with this mallet, so that the elves can use the aura of the mallet to improve their Taoism. Since the mallet itself is a spirit body, it will unconsciously assimilate the spirit attached to it and merge with itself, so it becomes a ginseng essence. This kind of elf is generally very kind, and I haven't heard of ginseng dolls harming people, and there is only a legend of ginseng dolls saving people in the Northeast.
I'll tell you a true story, that is, a rich family in our tunzi made a fortune, and now this rich family has gone to live in Shengjing, and its ancestor saved the ginseng doll, which is what his ancestor said after drinking. ”
I said, "If that's the case, tell us what's going on with that ginseng doll?" ”
Wang nodded his head and said: "Okay, then I'll tell you, this medicinal material of Changbai Mountain is the most precious mallet, and the slowest is the longest, hundreds of years of mallet, only to grow to the thickness of the big mother's toe, this thing is all made of the essence of the sun and the moon, and its medicinal power is amazing."
I'll now talk about the people who let the mountains make a fortune, the thing is like this, in the early years, that is, the Qing Dynasty, at that time, the imperial court was not allowed to go into the mountains to pick sticks and mallets to pan for gold, and the people who broke into the eastern part of the country came secretly, and the nickname of the ancestors was Lao Shiniu, who was very loyal and honest.
He likes to go into the mountains alone to pick sticks and mallets, that is, to run a single gang, this day he went into the deep mountains to put the mountain, walking and suddenly heard someone moaning there, like a child's voice, the old stone cow was startled when he heard the sound, this vast deep mountain, how can there be a child's voice, is it a mountain spirit and a ghost? Thinking of this, the old stone cow ran away in fright, and after running a few steps, he heard the child behind him crying there, and stopped at that time, and listened carefully, it was indeed a child crying there.
He secretly scolded himself for being a bastard, hearing a child crying, if he didn't save him from death, his conscience would not be able to live in this life, thinking of this, the old stone cow hurriedly turned around, and went towards the cry, and when he got there, he saw that it was a deep and densely forested valley, and the child's cry echoed in the valley.
He followed the cry and went down to the valley, and in the valley he saw a child crying there, the child was wearing a red bag, covered with dirt, and there were small red flowers tied on the child's head, and the child looked to be four or five years old at most, and the old stone ox saw that the child's leg was broken, so he quickly asked the child if he was injured, and fell from above.
The child pointed to a steep slope, only to see that a lot of soil had collapsed on the steep slope, and the old stone cow thought that this child must have been naughty, and fell from it when he climbed the hill. Thinking of this, the old stone cow hurriedly said to the child: "You child, really, you dare to climb up such a high place, you can't be so naughty in the future." Where your home is, I'll send you home. ”
After the child listened, he did not answer, but cried there vigorously, no matter how the old stone cow asked, he couldn't ask a clue, the old stone cow looked at the sky, it was not early, and he thought that this child did not say where his home lived, and now it was soon dark, if he did not take the child away, he would definitely be taken away by wild beasts at night, so he picked up the child, and thought that he would go to his shack first, live for one night, and then take the child to his home the next day.
He carried the child on his back, when he was about to get to his shack, suddenly the child wanted to come down, crying and not entering the shack, the old stone cow then put the child down, he just put down the child, the child ran towards a bush, the old stone cow just chased to the bush, but found that the child was gone, the old stone cow was startled at first, thinking that he had really met the monster, but after thinking about it carefully, the child's appearance was the same as the ginseng doll on the New Year's painting, when he patted his thigh, his mouth scolded himself for not knowing treasures with the naked eye, good ginseng doll, I didn't even know it, so I let it go.
He was a little annoyed in his heart, and went back to the shack and fell asleep, and slept until midnight, when suddenly there was a sound outside, and there was a whining sound, which frightened the old stone cow, and he looked out from the crack in the shack, and saw that there was a fireball outside, and the fireball was very large, red, and jumped there.
This can make the old stone cow frightened, quickly put the door of the shack tight, he was scared to lie there trembling, just when he was trembling, he heard a sound behind him, the shack full of red light, he quickly looked back, directly frightened legs weak, the whole person collapsed there, the original fireball did not know when to the house, but the fireball did not ignite anything, the old stone cow was frightened, quickly kowtowed there and begged for mercy.
At this time, a child's voice appeared, and the child said: "Don't be afraid, old man, I am the ginseng doll you saved, old man, you are a good person, this mountain ginseng is given to you, you can take it home." If you want ginseng in the future, come here. ”
After saying that, the fire disappeared, the old stone cow hurriedly lit the fire with the fire fold, looked at the ground, was stunned, only to see that there was a big mallet of more than 100 years on the ground, the roots of the mallet were complete, the old stone cow hurriedly wrapped the mallet with birch bark, and went down the mountain at dawn the next day.
The big stick mallet was sold for a good price, and since then the old Shi Niu has lived a good life, the family has built a house, the son married a daughter-in-law, once drunk, the old Shi Niu told this matter, everyone knew the reason why he made a fortune, and then we had a beard, and the old Shi Niu family moved to Shengjing at home.
The legend of this ginseng doll is that if there are people with great lives among us, we can also meet ginseng dolls, and after eating them, it is said that they can prolong their lives and bring them back to life. ”
When Wang said this, our minds are full of images of ginseng dolls, what will that ginseng doll look like? Is it the same as in the painting? The king turned his head and said, "Let's go, go to Lao Shengou to pick the mallet, the mountain god blesses, let us pick the mallet." ”
After that, let us row to the shore, our stone boat slowly came to the shore, when the feet stepped on the solid ground, our heart was put down, surrounded by flowers, we stood in the flowers, for a moment did not know how to get off the foot, suddenly a few hares ran out of the side, there is a saying in the countryside, that is, faster than rabbits, but these hares, not very afraid of us, are squatting there, looking at us with their eyes, maybe they have never seen people.
I looked at the stupid hare, and at once I raised my hands and screamed, and several of the hares ran away in fright, and in a few moments they ran into the bushes and disappeared. It seems that no matter how stupid the rabbit is, once it encounters danger, it will run fast.
