In the early hours of the morning, before the rooster crowed, I walked out of the room, came to the door of the house where my parents lived, knocked lightly, and whispered, "It's about to dawn, you two should go too." ”

As soon as the words fell, the window next to the door flickered slightly, and the brothers seemed to come out of the window, and then the temperature in the courtyard dropped a lot, and I turned to the empty courtyard and said: "People are people, ghosts are ghosts, and I also know that you are reluctant to let your parents go, but if you stay at home, your parents' illness will not be cured, and you may make their illnesses worse and worse." ”

As soon as I finished speaking, the branches of a small tree in the courtyard shook slightly, at this time, there was not the slightest wind, I turned my head to look at the small tree, and sighed in my heart, it seems that the brothers do not want to leave, but they can't let them stay like this, otherwise, it will not be a good thing for them and their parents.

Just imagine, these brothers are pitiful enough, if the parents know that the two sons are gone, what should they be, I'm afraid for them, it's the end of the world, I immediately thought of the two who burned the black bricks, and I felt that the things I did before were not wrong at all, those two people, they were innocent!

I immediately gritted my teeth and said to Xiaoshu: "Otherwise, you can now go outside and look for who the immortal family in your area is, and come back and tell me when you find out, I will go to the immortal family to help you intercede, and let the immortal family keep you by your side, so that you can come and see your parents every day." ”

After I finished speaking, the whole little tree shook violently a few times, and seemed to agree with my suggestion, and then, the little tree suddenly stopped, and there was no more movement, and I figured that the brothers should go to the immortal family who managed their area.

Insert a sentence here: I often mentioned in the last generation 1 and this book, one immortal family is in charge of one person, just like one side of the water and soil raises one person, the local immortal is in charge of the locals, many people after death, the soul has to go to the local immortal family to report, the common people say that those underworld, bull head and horse face, black and white impermanence, etc., the reason why there are many versions, many people also say different, and even some people who have come back from the dead, the description of the situation in the underworld is also different, this is why, just because of each party immortal family, They all have their own set of management systems, and their general routes are the same, but there are many differences in details. For example, when some people die, they see the sky red, others white, and others yellow. Some ghosts, when they are conscious, are in the grass, some are in the barren mountains, and some are even in the water, this is because of the different local immortals, they see, feel, and the scenes in the underworld are also different.

One more thing: The "fallen leaves return to the roots" mentioned at the beginning of the last generation 1 is also the same reason, most of the people who die in a foreign land will become lonely ghosts, because many local immortals do not accept foreign ghosts, because it is particularly troublesome to accept foreign ghosts, and it is easy to offend the immortal family who manages this foreign ghost, and accommodating foreign ghosts is tantamount to overstepping their authority. Therefore, after death, people have to return to their roots, and some people travel thousands of miles to transport the corpses back to their hometowns, the purpose is to let the ghosts report to the local immortals. Of course, it's okay not to transport corpses, use soul-attracting flags, paper figures, soul-attracting chickens, etc., to directly lure the ghosts home, and let them report to the local immortals.

To get back to the point, after the ghosts of the two brothers left, I turned around and returned to the house, dazed, lying on the cover of the bunk and falling asleep, I didn't feel like I slept for a while, when I heard someone in my ear seem to say: "The old aunt temple of ten miles east ...... east"

I woke up suddenly, opened my eyes and saw that it was already dark, and before I could recall what I had just said, a woman's voice came from outside the door, calling for a few of us to get up and eat.

A few people got up to wash up and wash, and went to the hall to eat, and when they were eating, the woman told us very excitedly that she had dreamed of their two sons last night, and both sons said that they were doing well now, and that they had found work, so that they could rest assured that they would come back when the brothers had made a lot of money...... Listening to the women happily talking about their dreams, I couldn't help but feel sad in my heart.

"Ten miles to the east of the old aunt temple ......" after breakfast, I have not forgotten this stubble, I feel, this should be the letter sent to me by the brothers, the immortal family that manages their area, should be in the east ten miles away "old aunt temple".

A few people packed up their luggage, said goodbye to the two women, and left the two brothers' homes, and then, I told Chen Hui about the events of last night, I mean, go to the east of the "old aunt temple" to see, if there is really a fairy family in charge, I beg him to take the two brothers in.

Chen Hui nodded in agreement, and several people immediately changed their route and walked eastward.

After walking for about ten miles, in the distance, I saw a courtyard on the side of the road in front of me, the yard was not very big, there seemed to be only one house in it, and the house was in the middle of the yard, which was equivalent to dividing the whole yard into two yards.

The front yard looks nothing, but in the backyard, that is, at the back of the house, there is a towering tree, and in the distance, I see that among the three branches of the tree, there is a very large bird's nest, which is about the same size as a large water tank.

This courtyard is located in the middle of two villages, and the surrounding area is relatively desolate, and from the distance, it should be the "Lao Gu Temple".

When a few people approached the courtyard, it was indeed a temple, two gates were open, and there was a large incense burner with a round mouth in the courtyard, which seemed to be made of mud, and the colors were painted on it, which looked very magnificent.

Chen Hui pulled the stupid cow and stopped at the gate of the temple, because he was not sure whether this was Taoist or Buddhist, and he didn't want to go in easily, Qiang Shun and I didn't have these taboos, walked in side by side, bypassed the big incense burner in the courtyard, and walked into the temple to see, there were still people inside, there was a woman in her forties, the women's clothes and appearance were very ordinary, and at first glance it was the kind that often went to work in the field.

In the innermost part of the temple, there is a statue of a god wearing a black robe, the face of the god is covered with a black veil, and the face cannot be seen clearly, giving people a very mysterious feeling, but from the appearance of the idol robe, it looks like a fairy, because there are ribbons like the fairy around the robe.

The woman in her forties in the temple was kneeling on the futon in front of the statue and kowtowing at this time, kowtowing, and muttering in her mouth, Qiang Shun and I couldn't help but look at her a few more times, because now it is still in the territory of Zhumadian, and the dialect is almost the same, and we don't understand the words in this woman's mouth at all.

When the woman got up from the futon after kowtowing, I hurriedly asked her, "Auntie, may I ask if this is a Taoist temple or a Buddhist temple?" ”

The woman seemed to notice us at this time, turned her head to look at the two of us, and replied, "Old Aunt Temple." ”

Lao Gu Temple, I know it is Lao Gu Temple, but I don't know where this "Lao Gu" is sacred, and hurriedly asked: "Lao Gu is Taoist or Buddhist?" ”

The woman blinked twice, she didn't seem to know what to answer, and then, raising her hand, she pointed behind her, and said, "The old lady lives in the big tree in the backyard." ”

Trees? I was just stunned, could it be that big bird's nest like a water tank in the tree? I immediately understood that this should be a bird, and after the nearby villagers found out, they built a temple in front of the tree, and this temple may be dedicated to the bird on the tree.

I thought about it, if I want to say this, this is a fairy temple that has become a climate, and it is also equivalent to a local immortal, the local immortals are mainly based on the Tao, not a Buddhist family, and hurriedly pulled Qiangshun, and the two people went out of the temple and beckoned Chen Hui and the stupid cow outside to come in.

When the four of us entered the temple together, the woman in the temple was talking again, or the same words that were said before, Chen Hui heard it, and said directly, fairy language.

What is the fairy language, as the name suggests, it can be understood as the words of the immortals, and some people, it may also be that the cerebral cortex has been affected, and they can talk directly to the immortals, ordinary people can't understand it, they call it "fairy language".

A few of us didn't bother the women, Chen Hui silently took out the incense from the baggage, put incense on the statue, and when he finished kowtowing to the statue, the women were still muttering there, Chen Hui whispered to me: "Don't you want to intercede for those two brothers, try it now." Chen Hui means that the woman is speaking the fairy language, and she should be talking to the immortal family in the temple, which means that the immortal family is sitting in the temple.

I nodded, walked to the futon, knelt down respectfully, looked at the idol and said, "The old girl is above, and the disciple Liu Huanghe bows." As he spoke, he respectfully kowtowed three times, but I didn't get up after kowtowing, I looked at the statue again, and said without humility or arrogance: "Now the disciples have something to ask for, and I hope that the old aunt will show grace first." Then, I was about to say something, but before I could say anything, the woman next to me stopped muttering, walked up to me and said, "You get up first, the old lady already knows what is going on!" ”

I turned my head and glanced at the woman in astonishment, and the woman urged me again, "Get up quickly, you have a bigger official position over there than Lao Guxian and her old man, and she can't stand it if you kowtow." ”

As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly stood up from the futon, I had already heard my grandmother say that those who do our business are all with the mandate of heaven, and they all have official positions over there, otherwise they wouldn't be able to do this business, and the more capable the person, the greater the official he does over there, and my position in that place may be higher than the current level of this "old girl fairy".

Those who do our business are still divided into civilian and military attachés in the yang world, maybe over there, we are really civilian and military attachés.

Turning around, he said, don't look at me in this business, but I look down on the people who open their mouths and mutter fairy words in the temple, and I feel that they are all neurotic.

The woman said to me again: "Old Aunt Xian, her old man was telling me about you just now, her old man said, you ask her for help, it's not a big deal, it's very easy to do, she will promise you, but hey, this old man can't help you in vain, you have to help her old man do something......

"What?" As soon as I heard it, I almost jumped up on the spot, these immortals, why are they all like this, it's like a thief who doesn't go empty, and if you catch me, you have to get me back.

Of course, I couldn't turn the woman's face, and said cautiously: "The old fairy aunt is an old man with strong mana, so if there is anything she needs my help with?" ”

"Why don't you ask for help?" The woman then said with a Shinto face, "Her old man said it, this matter ......."

"I have to do it, right?" I didn't wait for the woman to say the rest of the story, I said it for her first.

The woman was stunned, "How do you know?" ”

How do I know? I swallowed hard, how many times have I been pitted with this sentence!

But can the woman's words be believed now? I glanced at the woman suspiciously and asked, "Old Guxian, her old man, do you really know what I ask her to do?" ”

The woman immediately smacked, "Old Aunt Fairy, can her old man still lie to you!" ”

I looked at the woman again, and with a look of God, I said in my heart, I am afraid that you will lie to me......
