Volume 1 Corpse Mountain Ghost Grass Chapter 16 The Road to the Mountain
Did I hear it wrong? I looked at Junko, and his stupid expression told me that he was also a mushy head.
The old woman was also stunned, and then took out five coppers and handed them to Da Zhuang, who took them respectfully. He turned his head and scolded the two of us: "You know a fart, our ancestors in this industry have passed down the rules: don't take more money, don't take less money." On the contrary, as long as you are not a monk and spend money in the world, even if you are a beggar, you have to give enough to these five children after diagnosing the disease. ”
"This, what kind of bullshit rule is this?" Junko has always been straightforward.
"Phew! This is the great love of doctors, we save most of the poor people, the cost of diagnosis is low, then we have to set rules, if the price is sky-high, the people will not look down on the disease; If you don't collect money, and the doctor's status is humble, then who else is willing to practice medicine, and who will treat and save people without a doctor......" Da Zhuang said eloquently.
I suddenly realized that it was indeed great love, and I hugged Da Zhuang and said, "Teachable, teachable." ”
While everyone was talking, the girl in purple had already fried the herbs and gave them to the old woman, and after about half an hour, she saw that the old woman had recovered.
We were about to get up and say goodbye, but I suddenly found that the purple-clothed girl was looking around, her cheeks were crimson, stroking her clothes, revealing the pattern on her arm, this pattern was only a rough landscape painting at first sight, but at this time, I always felt that something was not quite right, and Da Zhuang was also fascinated by it before, so I asked about its origin.
The old woman was stunned for a moment, and began to flicker, and then said the origin, it turned out that the old woman's family did not live in the country of Shache, but the ancestors lived in a remote village for generations, this village is called "Lingbao Village", hundreds of years ago, this Lingbao Village is a rich place, not only there are many birds and beasts in the mountains, but also rich in Ganoderma lucidum, Lingbao Village is estimated to be named after this, the local villagers are naturally relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and live a good life and prosperity.
But that year, there was a villager who was greedy for money, in order to seek wealth and lead a large group of officers and soldiers into the mountain, until they came to a swamp, the villager had lost his way, but there were indeed capable people in the official army, so the villager was sent away, and the officials and soldiers did not know where to go.
It was also that year, the mountain rained heavily for several days, and some people also saw a black dragon flying out of the mountain, since then, the mountain has become more and more barren, even the birds and beasts do not know where to go, not to mention the Ganoderma lucidum, the villagers can suffer, they are simply cut off alive, and the mountain is always foggy, the wind is gusting, which makes people panic.
Later, the village invited a warlock who was proficient in feng shui, and the warlock said that this place is the source of the dragon vein, but now the dragon qi has been dispersed, the yang energy in the mountains has been lost, and the yin qi is extremely strong, and the villagers are afraid of disasters, so they are advised to move away from this place as soon as possible, but the villagers here have lived here for generations, and the ancestral tombs are here, so no one wants to move away.
Fortunately, a high monk passed by here later, felt that there was something strange in this mountain, so he went into the mountain to check, and then built a temple nearby called "Zhenling Temple", which means that the demon spirit in the mountain is evil. This temple really worked, and for more than 100 years since then, although the yin qi in the mountain has not decreased, it has also been peaceful, and the village names have gradually forgotten these things.
But it happened on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival 14 years ago, a villager who returned from hunting looked in a trance, at first the family thought that he was scared out of his soul by some wild beast, and did not care, but after a few days, his condition became more and more serious, he was crazy all day long, in great pain, and there were large black spots on his body, and finally, his appearance changed, like a wild beast, he caught people when he met them, and he bit them when he saw them. The people he had been caught and bitten gradually developed that kind of black spots, lost their minds, and became mad beasts, and then scratched and bit others.
At this time, the villagers realized the seriousness of the problem, but it was too late, many villagers had become such beasts, and finally the villagers could only endure the pain and kill the family members who were infected with this disease.
The old woman's daughter-in-law was among them.
The old woman's son and daughter-in-law were originally husband and wife, but in the end, the son personally took the life of his beloved wife, and then he was discouraged, and became a monk in Zhenling Temple, one came to chant for his deceased wife, seeking relief, and then trying to eradicate the evil in this mountain.
Poor family only left the old woman and the infant granddaughter, and then the rest of the village moved out one after another, the old woman also moved to the country of Shache with her young granddaughter, for more than ten years, the little granddaughter has grown into the purple girl in front of her, and the tattoo on her arm is the map of Huilingbao Village.
This Lingbao Village is located in a remote area, the surrounding terrain is complex, in order to allow future generations to find their ancestral homes in the future, worship their ancestors, the villagers are all tattooed on the arms of the younger generations when they move out of the map into the mountain, this is the origin of the map on the arm of the girl in purple.
After listening to the old woman's words, everyone couldn't help but sigh, the tragedy in this world is nothing more than the life and death of the dearest and beloved people, and the eternal separation of yin and yang.
However, it also gives us a great clue, although the old woman did not go into much detail, but according to her, there is a similarity in the details of the mountain of ten thousand corpses that we are looking for on this trip, and it is probably the place we are looking for.
When asked for details, the old woman was terrified when she learned that we were going there, and persuaded us bitterly: "A few beneficians must not go there, and very few people go there anymore.
Da Zhuang explained to her, saying that we were just trying to save people, and we wanted to pick some herbs around there, and if we didn't go in, there shouldn't be any danger.
After a while, the old woman saw that we had made up her mind, and knew that she could not stop it, so she could only tell us to be careful, so she asked us to copy a copy of the map on the arm of the girl in purple, and said the essentials of entering the mountain, saying that we must first find the Zhenling Temple and get the help of the temple before we can make plans.
The next morning, we set off for a short distance out of the city, we saw the girl in purple holding the old woman trembling standing beside the road, it is estimated that we have been waiting for a long time, the old woman saw us, hurriedly took out a few pieces of dry food, and said: "There is nothing to repay the father, my granddaughter and I want to come to see you off, hard work along the way, these dry food will be used." ”
Looking at the few pieces of dry food in her hand, it is really not too good, it varies in size, one of the buns seems to be a long time old, there are cracked flowers on it, and a piece of cake is actually half a piece. The purple-clothed girl blushed and said in a low voice: "This, this is grandma who went out to ask for it before dawn, a little heart, and I hope that your benefactors will not dislike ......."
Da Zhuang is the most temperamental, tears are rolling in his eyes, and he pretends to be full of indifference and says: "Great, Lao Tzu can eat, he eats a lot, and it just happens that the dry food is not enough, so someone sent it." Haha......" said and took it all.
I grabbed it and broke a piece, threw it in my mouth and chewed it, "It's delicious, it's delicious." Actually, I really think it's the sweetest bun I've ever tasted.
The old woman nodded, her wrinkled face looked very satisfied, and she took off a long-life lock on the neck of the purple-clothed girl and handed it to Hua Bo, and said, "Please, everyone, if you go to Zhenling Temple and see a monk named 'Zhiping', that is my son, give him this long-life lock, and tell him where we live, now that I am old, I am afraid that my life will not be long, if I can see my son again before I die, I will be satisfied." And my miserable granddaughter, if I die......"
"Grandma! Don't say that......" the girl in purple cried.
Da Zhuang hurriedly took the longevity lock, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, old man, I Wu Dazhuang promised you that I will definitely bring the words and hand it over to your son with my own hands." ”
Hua Bo nodded at them as well......
Leaving Shache City, we headed south along the Yehe River, the road was smooth, and there were many villages along the way, and two days later we entered a mysterious mountain.
After entering the mountain, it was a bald mountain at the beginning, and the field of vision was also broad, but the more you walked in, the denser the forest, the mountain stretched out and never saw the edge, thanks to the old woman who pointed out the route, Rao was so, and it took several days to find the "Zhenling Temple" hidden in the deep mountains that she said.
Although this temple is built in this sparsely populated place, but the scale is really not small, and the architectural style of the Han land is completely different, in front of the temple gate is several zhang high to the stone steps, after climbing the stone steps, in front of you is a white marble statue of the Bodhisattva of four or five zhang high, behind is a tall archway temple gate.
Stepping into the temple, a road is almost half a mile long, the pines and cypresses on both sides are dense, there is a faint Buddha fragrance floating around, it is late at this time, the lights in the Buddha hall can be seen faintly in the distance, we go forward in the direction of the lights, the evening breeze blows, a wisp of tranquility, makes people feel more comfortable.
Suddenly, there was a rattling noise in the trees ahead, followed by a scream of "Ahhhhhh ”。
The four of us were startled, and before we could react to what was going on, we saw a green fireball burst out of the bushes, and then, the green flame slowly extinguished, and a huge cyan vicious dog appeared ten paces away in front of us.
Without knowing what it is, I'll call it a big vicious dog, but if it is a canine, this thing is really big, it is a little smaller than a tiger, like a huge blue-green mastiff, but this thing has no hair on its body, but has a body of irregular scales, the skin on its face is wrinkled, and a pair of red eyes are staring at us, and from its sharp fangs you can see that this beast is extremely ferocious.
Da Zhuang exclaimed, "Oh, what the fuck is this monster? It's a tiger, no, no, it's a big dog, it's not, mother......"
