Chapter 6 The Emperor of the City God's Temple

"Where the grass and trees become demons, they must be subject to the essence of the moon, but they must be Gengshen Night Yuehua. Because of the night moon of Gengshen, there is an emperor flow pulp, which is shaped like countless olives, ten thousand golden wires, and hangs down in strings. The plants and trees in the world can become demons by their essence, and the foxes and ghosts can show their magical powers. Plants and trees have sex and no life, and liquid pulp has sex, which can make up for life; Foxes and ghosts have their own lives, so food is beneficial. ”

Emperor flow pulp is biased towards "sex", which is helpful for the plants and trees that have sex and lifelessness, and the ghost fox that has its own life. Cultivation often pays attention to choosing the right time and prescription, in order to achieve twice the result with half the effort and achieve the best practice results.

In the backyard of the City God Temple, there is a tall main hall, the main hall shrine is molded with the City God God, and there are several cow heads on the red lacquered table, which are strung together by a long cow bone like a rock sugar gourd, and it looks like it is some years.

The wind at night in the City God Temple of Centipede Mountain is relatively strong, and a layer of mist gathers from time to time, the blue eyes and black beard are full of red faces, and the statues of fierce gods and evil spirits can be seen everywhere in the City God Temple, and when they are confused, they are really easy to be frightened.

When Tang Mu first came here, this was not as desolate as it is now, and when he stepped into the door, he shivered, and suddenly became emaciated in the next few days, so he ran to the bottom of the mountain and got a native egg to write a soul egg for himself.

"Tang Mu's lost soul, the general of the six dragons and horses of the piercing wind, the soul chasing boy is admitted!" Put it in a bowl of rice and enshrine it in front of the city god for seven days and seven nights, the eggs are boiled, and a small figure on the egg white is attached to it, looking at the surrounding road and being confused, it seems that he has found the way.

Stubborn temper can't be changed, being frightened like this, the courage is getting bigger and bigger, from now on, don't care if you cry wolf howl, for Tang Mu, this is a trivial matter, a straw mat exhibition, and occasionally sleep in front of the city god, in his words, "In the place of the city god master, the demons and monsters know the law and break the law, and there must be no return!" ”

There are two tall statues of gods standing on the left and right sides in front of the shrine, which are the judges that the folk say, naturally, they will not be so good-looking, the fierce gods are vicious and kill their mother's face, there is no performance effect at all, but in terms of expression, it is suitable for meetings, serious!

In his left hand, he holds the Book of Life and Death, and in his right hand, he holds the Soul Hooking Pen. There are gods in the head and three feet, and every move is in the eyes of the heavens, destroying the ant's nest at the age of six, urinating into the river at the age of seven, and peeing at the bath of people at the age of eight...... It is said that such trivial things are remembered clearly for you, and arrangements will be made clear for you after death.

The time of death and death of each person is recorded on the book of life and death, and the time of death has arrived, and the judge ticks the name on the book of life and death, and orders the black and white impermanence ghost to go and arrest him.

On the right side of the hall, there is an iron tree, a tree made of real iron, and the people have not believed in the city god over the years, and the branches have been broken away for you. The branches of the tree cast in iron were full of lamps made of iron, and the lamps were filled with sesame oil, and a wick was placed in the middle, and when all were lit, the fire trees were full of silver flowers, and the fire trees and silver flowers were splendid, and the fire trees and silver flowers did not sleep and the sky was not so. This is what people say: when a person dies, only when the iron tree blooms, can he be reincarnated in the second world.

With the end of the temple, the iron tree oil lamp was never lit again. The people in Changpu have long forgotten its existence. The walls are falling off, the shrine is covered with gray cobwebs, but the iron tree oil lamp is always spotless, that is because Tang Mu is there, no one may know that he has recognized Chenghuang Ye as his godfather behind his back.

If Tang Mu has a little spare money, every fifteenth day of the new year, he will buy some lamp oil, symbolically ignite, one or two oil lamps on the branches of the iron tree, when there is no money to buy lamp oil, he will wipe the thirty-six branches and seventy-two lamps of the iron tree cleanly.

Today happened to be Gengshen night, and the moonlight was pouring down, but it was covered by dark clouds in a few minutes, and they were fighting guerrilla warfare with the dark clouds back and forth.

From the gate of the City God Temple, through the six miles of bluestone long street, there is a bridge, called "Feng Shui Bridge". An old willow tree by the bridge, a bluestone stele, two small stone lions, wearing red grosgrain, the bluestone stele is engraved with the words "Feng Shui Bridge", and there are green incense, yellow paper, and red money stacked in front of the stele.

People who go to the City God Temple to burn paper and repay their vows should start from the Feng Shui Bridge, take three steps and kowtow in the first year, kowtow every two steps in the second year, and kowtow one step in the third year, until they reach the front of the City God's seat to make a paper, which is called "worshipping incense and vows".

Generally, a wish is made for three years, and when the three years are over, the wish is returned. In other places, when people encounter a disease that is not well healed or is critically ill, they will go to the temple to burn incense and make a wish, asking the gods to bless them, eliminate disasters and avoid difficulties, and even some people have poisonous sores that cannot be cured for a long time, they will buy some gold and silver paper money to stick on the body of the sore, and it is strange that the poisonous sores will be cured soon.

It's a pity that the City God Temple on Centipede Mountain in Liulidi can't welcome a person who worships incense for a few years, at least Tang Mu has never seen it.

Peeking at Xiong Xiaoyun, he took a few feet from the old man, came back from the Spring River, the smoke of the six miles of cooking dissipated, the moon gradually became clearer, just arrived at the City God Temple, the wind suddenly rose outside, the leaves of the trees rattled on the high and low stone road, and the large "weather grass" on the hillside shook their heads, as if a spring rain was coming.

Tang Mu was very unhappy, how could Xiong Xiaoyun have such a confused father, he hurriedly returned to the main hall with the newly picked spring buds in his arms, and entertained himself to eat a bowl of cold rice.

The sky was dark, Tang Mu lit a yellow light on the iron tree oil lamp, sat cross-legged on the futon, and with the faint candle flame, the tendons of the spring buds were removed from the branches, and the so-called "spring fang tire".

"Spring prescription abortion" is his specialty secret recipe, especially the fetal medicine in it. In the old days, the methods of abortion were nothing more than drug abortion and external abortion, and those old eunuchs in the royal family were particularly good at external abortion. External force is to borrow pressure, vibration, hitting, etc., to promote fetal abortion, the Qing Dynasty has a folk abortion method of massage, massage, Jiangnan area is used more.

There are many kinds of medical abortions, eating mercury, smelling strange fragrances, and strange methods, but people believe that selling abortion pills is harmful to heaven and will be punished. In addition to people like Tang Mu who live in small markets and eat the last meal, the regular and genuine pharmacies are reluctant to concoct fetal pills, which is also another reason why the blind bear hates him. From the perspective of ethics and morality, the blind bear doesn't like it even more!

But Tang Mu's "Spring Fang Fetus" is indeed a bit level, and it has a nice name, called "Liuli Spring Water". No one in Liulidi doesn't recognize "Liuli Spring Water", just by virtue of this name, it is enough to attract people's attention, rather than being frightened, there is a sale, there is a medicinal effect, it is said that the taste is not bad, are you still worried?

Concentrate, time flies, and before you know it, it's midnight.

The raindrops that had been brewing on the clouds for a long time finally fell, and the bluestone floor was wet all of a sudden.

The light of the iron tree oil lamp emitted a lonely dim yellow and bright on the Centipede Mountain, like a fish lamp on the sea, pale and insignificant.

Night Rain City God Temple, night ghosts in the mountains, most of the strange and grotesque things happen at this time.

Tang Mu salivaed, stuffed the formed "glazed spring water" in a cloth bag, stretched his waist, yawned, and thought in his heart: Spring buds are strong, even if they are pregnant with a giant baby freak with nine heads and nine arms, a pill will be effective! Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel excited, felt dry in my mouth, and got up to find some water to eat.

When he got up, Tang Mu felt uncomfortable and dizzy. As soon as he stood firm, the oil lamp on the iron tree went out, and a wisp of curved green smoke rose and drifted upward.

The main hall was suddenly pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers, and I couldn't even see where the shrine was.

"Oops! It's windy! Tang Mu was shocked, found a match in the dark, re-lit the oil lamp, and looked around by the light of the bean-sized fire, the door of the temple was closed, and the windows were tight.

Tear open half of the temple door and look outsideβ€”

The spring rain was pouring endlessly, and the pavilions of the City God Temple were swarthy, and the clay statues of the gods were unmoving.

Looking up, the moon in the sky is silvery white, and the place where the field of vision can be seen is shrouded in the moonlight rain curtain.

Tang Mu closed the door of the palace, turned around to the iron tree lamp, just walked a few steps, and saw that the oil lamp on the iron tree was extinguished again.

Darkness erosion, Tang Mu scolded He Laohan, who sold oil, always selling inferior water and oil, went to light the lamp in the dark, and just arrived next to the iron tree, the tree lamp was inexplicably lit again, and the flame shook like crazy, making a sound of "bang la la".

This lamp is crazy!

Tang Mu was really surprised. No matter what kind of lamp, there is a lamp god inside, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a person named Han Dongchen who urinated on the lamp and candle, offended the lamp god, and was blind for no reason on the second day, and spent his life in the dark.

The lights were bright and dim, and it was clear that the lamp god was frightened. Tang Mu had never encountered this situation, and he inevitably muttered in his heart: The age of the iron tree oil lamp is older than the Chenghuang Temple, and it is offered like a bodhisattva.

Lao Xiucai is a literati and knows a lot, and once told Tang Mu: The iron tree of the City God Temple is a magic lamp, which should be the number of stars in the Big Dipper, and there are thirty-six Tiangang stars and seventy-two earth-shattering stars in the cluster. The iron tree has thirty-six branches and seventy-two lamps, and it is the tree of heaven, and if it has seventy-two branches and thirty-six lamps, it is the tree of the earth.

The iron tree of the City God Temple is the tree of Tiangang. Tiangang dominates life and death, masters yin and yang, creates life, knows its life, ignores its death, there are outer Tiangang and inner Tiangang, in the outer refers to the seventh star of the Big Dipper to break the military star, also known as Tiangang sage. The practice of Tiangang in the Taoist method is to find out where Tiangang is, and use Tiangang in the human body to the outer Tiangang in the universe, pinch the secret recipe with his hands, recite the secret mantra, and keep his thoughts, so that the inner and outer Tiangang are one, and the spiritual cultivation is true.

However, this kind of cultivation of the Tiangang True Machine is not seen by the people in the practice of the Shenxiao Sect.

As soon as Lao Xiucai said this, Tang Mu was convinced that the ancient town had smooth weather and prosperity for six animals, all of which were covered by this Tiangang iron tree.

Now, the flames on the iron tree lamp, like a convulsion, crackled into a piece, the flames were as high as a burst, the four walls of the main hall of the city god were full of color, and the city god lord in the shrine sat motionless in the shrine, the glass color on his face was shining, and he felt an inexplicable weirdness.

Tang Mu thought of Lao Xiucai's words, and was extremely frightened: Could it be that something ominous came?

The red satin in front of the City God floated up for some reason, wrapping Tang Mu's hands. In a panic, the shouts of begging grandpa to tell grandma filled the hall, but there would be someone who would run to this city god temple without their lives.

With one foot on the desk, the cow's skull shattered and splashed on the red cloth, and Tang Mu was temporarily free.

The evil ghost is afraid of the wicked, one moment the ghost was crying wolf, the next second it was reversed, and he grabbed the long bones of the cow's head: "Where is the demon, dare to use force in front of the city god, get out of the way!" ”

It calmed down for a while, the wind outside stopped blowing, and the rain was a little lighter.

Tang Mu felt a chill behind him, turned around and saw that his long hair had collapsed from the beam, and when he looked up, he saw that the two women were lying on the beam, and their thick hair had covered their entire faces.

In a hurry, he used his long bones to pick some sesame oil and light the fire, which was also what he secretly saw from the hands of the wandering warlock in the early years, whether it was useful or not, he hadn't tried it yet, and at this moment he should be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

The knuckles hooked the long hair and pulled it downward, and the two women stood in front of him, their hair much shorter, and their faces were revealed, and the scene was suddenly a little fragrant.

"It's a bit big, bigger than Xiong Xiaoyun, this name is not good, chest Xiaoyun ......" Tang Mu coughed a few times.

"I said two beauties, Fairy Gu, I Tang Mu must not have peeked at you, but why did you come to scare me?" Tang Mu took the cow bone and pointed to the two long-haired things in front of him, "Look at your red hijab and red clothes, do you still want to marry me!?" ”

replied: "I waited for one of the ancient bricks under the plum blossoms of Zhao Qianhu's family, and on the day of Gengshen, his little daughter picked flowers and injured her hands, dripping blood on my body, so she was angry, and she had a figure, and she had been lying at the feet of the city god for many years. One is Wang Lang's wife embroidered shoes, Gengshen day dipped in moon water, abandoned in the small courtyard, also has to change, the son can forgive the two of us, when the city is far away, never dare to be closer to the world. ”

Tang Mu looked at the masonry in front of the statue, and if there were really two pieces missing, he immediately laughed.

"Once the son kicked the stone, kicked the toe and broke it, and the blood flowed into the stone, and we sensed it, so we ......"

Tang Mu is not a young person, watching the two brick and stone demons keep staring at the long ruler in his hand, he understands that they are so afraid of themselves because of this long ruler.

"Let's go, let you go, but you also have to let me go, don't come to me in the future!"

After saying that, the stone demon disappeared in an instant.

At that moment, the planks of the temple gate turned.

"This talk doesn't count, why did you come back again!"

When I turned around, a huge cat face suddenly appeared on the wooden door, black with a few traces of silver light, reflected on the temple door, dark and dignified, the cat face flashed, and disappeared immediately.

It's really a big game, the fat cat is coming again, Tang Mu was so frightened that he collapsed on the futon, and as soon as the back door was loosened, he was about to burst out of a silk banana.

I only heard the spring rain outside, gloomy and abnormal, and Wu didn't care about changing his pants, so he hurriedly got up, hid a talisman hidden in the shrine of the city god on his body, and waved his hands: "Bodhisattva bless!" Bodhisattva bless! Godfather bless, godfather help! ”

The sound of the wooden door spinning, "twing...... Twitter...... Twitter! "It's crisp to hear.

The door of the temple rang, and the comer seemed to be in a hurry.
