Chapter 57: The Nobleman
This seems to be a newly built courtyard, the courtyard gate and courtyard walls are all new, and I saw that in the center of the courtyard, there was an incense burner the size of a grinding plate, and a bundle of incense was inserted in the incense burner at this time.
I heard my grandmother say that the incense burned in the temple in the middle of the night is called "Sue Xian Xiang" (homonym, it may be "Sue Xian Xiang", we have some dialects here, really, I really can't write it in written words. This is the new temple when the immortal family burned, must be burned overnight, burned until dawn, there must be someone next to the incense burner to keep vigil, see the incense burned to the end of the hurry up and continue. To put it mildly, it is the same as the incense of the spirit, the incense cannot be extinguished.
At present, this is used to attract immortals, from the superficial meaning of the word "sue the immortal incense", it is to tell the immortal family, we have a new temple, you come over, or that is, the old temple is not good before, and find a place to build a new temple, some immortals, unwilling to move the place, people will burn incense in the new temple overnight, tell the immortal family in the old temple, you see how sincere and pious we are, move from the old temple. Generally, when the old temple is abandoned, when the new temple is moved to the immortal family, the procedure is very troublesome, and most of the immortal families are reluctant to move the place back and forth, especially the old temple that is very old, some have built a new temple for the immortal family, but they have not invited the immortal family over, and when they go to demolish the old temple, there will be an accident. Let me say a few more words, to the south of our village, more than a dozen miles away, is the "labor market" I mentioned in "Last Generation 1", and there is a village in their area, or it may be their village. They are closer to our city, more prosperous than we are here, the government on the top of their land, that land is estimated to be a good place, however, there is an old temple on this land, the government plans to demolish the old temple, but a demolition will hurt people, either death or injury, has been tossed for several years, promised to build a new temple is not good, this old temple just can't be demolished, in addition to their village people obstructed, there are other factors in it, this year's spring, people came to demolish the temple again, and the result hurt people, The government backed down again, and it was no longer done. What does this mean, this shows that the immortals in the temple are unwilling to move places, and if they want to move places for the immortals, they have to show sincerity and make great efforts.
To get back to the point, at this time, next to the incense burner, there was indeed a vigil, an old man, who was sitting on a chair next to the incense burner and dozing off.
At this time, Luo Wu and Scarface were standing next to the old man with their backs to the courtyard gate, and the two of them were looking at the main hall in the courtyard, and after looking at it for a while, Luo Wu opened his mouth and asked the old man, "Old man, what kind of immortal are you offering here?" The tone of speech gives people a sense of arrogance and sneering.
The old man was dozing off, and when he heard a spirit, he woke up, turned his head to look at Luo Wu and Scarface beside him, and asked in amazement: "You, who are you, and when did you come in?" ”
"Who you don't care, what do I ask you?"
At this time, the fool could see that Luo Wu and the two comers were not good, the old man held on to the armrest of the chair, stood up from the chair tremblingly, and said in response to the question: "There is incense on the side of the incense burner, if you want to incense, you can go to the pillar incense, and if you don't want to incense, go away." ”
Luo Wu raised his voice: "Old guy, are you deaf, let me ask what immortals are offered here!" ”
The old man had a good temper, and said calmly: "It is for the village god in our village." ”
"What village protector?"
The old man looked Luo Wu up and down, "Listen to your accent, it's not our local, if you want to burn incense, burn incense, if you don't want to burn, just leave." ”
Luo Wu laughed, "It's just a bunch of rats, and you still treat them as gods!" ”
When the old man heard Luo Wu's words, he was a little unhappy, "You don't care what we are offering, she has saved the lives of our entire village, let's go, don't burn the incense." ”
Luo Wu said coldly: "I didn't come to burn incense. As he spoke, he was about to enter the main hall.
The old man stopped him, "You are not allowed to enter, the immortal family is not rare to you." ”
Luo Wu ignored it, and pushed the old man away, and the old man hurriedly grabbed the clothes behind Luo Wu again, "Don't go in!" ”
"Ahh Scarface beside Luo Wu yelled twice, like a dog, went up and grabbed the old man, and pressed the old man to the ground. Luo Wu reached out and took out a thin rope from the backpack on Scarface's back, and said to Scarface, "Tie the old guy to the incense burner's leg." ”
The old man is seventy or eighty years old, of course he is not Scarface's opponent, the old man wanted to shout, but he choked Scarface's throat in advance, Luo Wumao's body also went up, and the two of them worked together to tie the old man to the leg of the incense burner, and used cloth strips to strangle the old man's mouth.
I peeked outside the door at this time, and I was very angry, but I knew that even if I rushed over, I would not be able to help the old man, and if I could not get it, I would have to tie myself to the incense burner.
Luo Wu looked at the old man struggling on the incense burner's legs, and said coldly: "If the village protector can really protect you, ask him to save you." With that, he swaggered into the temple. The scarface saw Luo Wu enter, and he followed him one by one.
I gritted my teeth outside the door, wanting to sneak in and untie the old man, but after thinking about it, no, I can't take this risk, but Luo Wu's last sentence reminded me, "Call him to save you", yes, I can call someone to save the old man.
As soon as I turned around, I quickly ran towards their village, at this time, the dogs at the entrance of the village were gone, as soon as I entered the village, I knocked on the door door door from door to door, "Open the door, open the door, there is something wrong in the temple in your village!" ”
Soon, I opened the door of the house, and a man in his thirties came out, the man looked sleepy and puzzled, and before the man asked me what I was doing, I quickly said to him: "The temple at the head of your village is guarding the village, and two southerners have come to tie up the old man who is watching incense in the temple, and those two southerners may want to burn your temple!" ”
When the man heard this, he opened his mouth to ask me something, but I quickly said, "Tell you villagers to hurry over, or the old man will beat the two southerners to death!" ”
The man didn't ask me anything anymore, he slapped the door with me, he shouted the door easier than me, surrounded by his neighbors, and after a while, he called more than a dozen people, each with an iron drill or something, and came to the village temple here, and I followed them with a fake tiger.
A group of people poured into the Hucun Temple, and I followed in, anyway, there are so many people, don't be afraid of the two of them, as long as Luo Wu and the two are caught by these dozen villagers, there will definitely be no good fruit for them to eat, I will take the opportunity to see what this Luo Wu looks like, he has always had his back to me just now.
As soon as a group of people entered the door, they heard someone in the group shouting, Dad!
It turned out that the old man who was tied to the leg of the incense burner was the father of one of the men, and the man suddenly carried an iron chisel and looked for it in the temple like crazy.
The electric lights in the temple were all turned on in an instant, and the main hall and courtyard were brightly lit, but a group of people didn't find anything, and Luo Wu and Scarface seemed to have left.
The old man who had been tied up before had been untied at this time, and he ordered everyone to hurry up and see if there was anything lost in the temple.
A group of people checked in the temple again, but in fact, there was nothing in the temple, there was really nothing to lose. At this time, I walked into the main hall as if nothing had happened.
Look inside the main hall, and the layout of other temples is almost the same, and finally raise your eyes to look at the statue placed in the main hall, it is a fairy in a black robe, what is in the right hand, forget, holding a whip in the left hand.
After I looked at it, I felt that this statue was a little awkward, as if something was missing, and finally, I saw it, and I was stunned, at this time, a villager happened to pass by me, I grabbed him, and asked: "Uncle, don't you have eyes in this temple?" ”
The uncle turned his head to look at the idol, and immediately shouted, "Come here, come here, the eyes of the idol are gone!" ”
The eyes of the idol are two black holes, at first I thought it was like that, and then the more I looked at it, the more weird it became, which temple statue can have no eyes, when placing the idol, but also to open the statue of the god, point the facial features to open the spiritual light, how to open it without eyes. The statue of the god of this village temple is not the kind of clay pottery, the kind of gypsum mold that was already popular at that time, this kind of is very light, more image than the clay pottery, and the outside is powdered with a layer of painted paint, but it is not strong, if you use a knife to rip it off, it is easy to tear off any part of the statue.
The old man who had been tied up before, when he saw that the statue had no eyes, he couldn't calm down anymore, and shouted angrily: "Go to the village again to call people and chase those two southern barbarians, those are two little men, one is hunchback and scarred face, and the other is black and ugly, and his face is full of pimples!" ”
As soon as the old man's voice fell, a group of people chased him out, and in the end, there were only two left, me and the old man, and the old man walked out of the hall in a huff, and walked to the incense burner in the courtyard. At this time, the incense in the incense burner had long been extinguished, and the old man lit the candle next to him, took a bundle of incense, and lit it against the candle.
I also walked out of the main hall, approached the old man, and asked in a low voice, "Old man, did you say that the two southern ...... Those two southern barbarians, one of them is black and ugly, and his face is full of pimples? ”
The old man was busy lighting incense, didn't look at me, nodded, and when the incense was lit, he turned his head to look at me, and was stunned, "Who are you?" ”
I was also stunned, and hurriedly explained: "I went to the village to call someone to come over, just now I passed by here, and I saw two people tying you up, so I ran to the village and called someone to save you." ”
The old man looked me up and down a few times, "So it's the person you called?" ”
I nodded.
The old man suddenly looked a little disappointed, and while inserting the incense into the incense burner, he said, "I should be a fairy of the fairy family." ”
After inserting the incense, the old man kowtowed three times, stood up and patted me on the shoulder, "Thank you, little brother, if it weren't for you, I guess I would have tied them up until dawn." ”
I hurriedly asked, "You just said that there is a southern barbarian with a pimple on his face, right?" ”
The old man nodded, "That Southern Barbarian is fierce, not only has a pimple on his face, but also has a wide mouth, just like a toad." ”
I nodded secretly, I probably had a facial outline of Luo Wu in my heart, at this time, even if I didn't know what Luo Wu looked like, after I met him, I could recognize him at a glance. The old woman who watched feng shui before only said that Luo Wu looked fierce, but she didn't expect to be so ugly.
The old man looked at me a few more times, and said suspiciously: "A few days ago, I calculated a hexagram for myself, and the hexagram said that I had a bloody disaster recently, but I would meet a noble person to save me." After a pause, the old man looked at me and said, "You can't be my nobleman, right?" ”
(It's still a chapter, I'm very busy, and I've been singing a few lyrics lately: grasp every minute of life, go all out to the dream in our hearts, don't experience wind and rain, how to see a rainbow, no one can succeed casually.) Thank you. )
