Chapter 21 The Origin of the Mulberry Silk Network
Saying that, the door opened with a "creak", and the radish head was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Ding Hong, and everyone looked at it, and there was also a cold sweat.
It turned out that this person was an old woman holding an oil lamp, but seeing that her eyes were sunken, her face was wrinkled or wrinkled, and her fingers holding the door frame were as slender as white bones, as if she only looked at a skin bag wrapped outside, her lips were purple and black, and her white eyebrows hung down long, so that she could only see half of her eyes, and her high cheekbones were the most special sign of this face.
"Old man! We passed by here, just because it was getting late, and we didn't want to wake you up to sleep, could you give us a convenient way to spend the night? Huiqing quickly turned around, bent down and said with one hand.
"It turned out to be a female disciple of the monk? Come in, come in! This humble house is very simple, you can see the stars at night, and you can watch the rain in the house on rainy days, as long as you don't dislike it, it doesn't matter how long you want to stay. The old woman opened the door and went into the house on crutches.
I saw this Huiqing push open the half-hidden door on the left, a smell of incense and candles came to his face, the yellow prayer flags hung down, and a statue of Guanyin appeared in front of him in the middle.
"Sit down as you please! It's really shabby! As long as there is silver, this room will be mended to make up for the leaks, for fear that if it is drenched with immortals, the other inner rooms will be a little dilapidated! The old woman took the green incense on the table, lit it and inserted it into the incense burner.
There was a "whoosh" sound, and I saw a golden light shoot out, and the radish head was suddenly knocked out and fell under the eaves.
"Looks like there's something around you that you can't hurry, right? This Guanyin statue has the effect of warding off evil spirits and suppressing demons, and you are a monk in vain, and you have an evil and awe-inspiring monster, are you not afraid that Guanyin will be angry with you? The old woman turned around, only to see a flash of lightning flashing by, looking at the two of them with a hideous face.
Ding Hong waved his hands to stop this Huiqing behind him, and explained: "Mother-in-law, you misunderstood, this radish head was framed, and his body was in a different place, and there was no way to reincarnate at all, so he begged us to find his body for him, so that he could go to the underworld to report, so that he could be reincarnated in the next life and reincarnated as a human being." ”
"Oooh! Is it? Why don't you speak? Could it be that this kid is telling a lie? Deliberately deceive me, this lonely old woman? The old woman waved her right hand and pointed at this Huiqing and asked.
Outside the door suddenly lightning and thunder, I saw the yin wind gusting, "bang" sound, the door was also brought back, and the "squeak" sound kept coming out.
"Back to the old woman, the poor nun is the Huiqing of this Mingyue Nunnery, just because the family teacher sent to chase this toad monster, so he settled on this Quartet Monument, as for whether this is true or false, but the radish head knows what he says, and he doesn't dare to make a judgment!" Huiqing bent down and bowed his head, and said with one hand.
Ding Hong saw that the sky suddenly changed, and hurriedly ran out of the house, picked up the head of the radish head, put it on the shoulder, and walked towards the house again.
"Whoosh" The golden light flashed out, Ding Hong dodged left and right, and then clasped his hands into fists and said: "Mother-in-law, listen to me!" It's not that you don't believe in this radish head, I'll bring it in for you to confront you, please raise your noble hand, don't kill good people in vain! ”
The old woman turned around, only to see that she pulled out the red cloth on the table, but the things on it did not move at all, and stood in the same position, and the two of them were stunned!
"Come in! Don't say that the old woman is not emotional, if it is really a harmful goblin, forgive him and he will not be able to get out of my door, up! I saw the old woman wave her right hand, and a yellow net suddenly appeared at the gate, blocking everyone's retreat.
"Why is Carrot Head allowed in now? Can my mother-in-law tell me? Ding Hong patted the head of the radish head on his shoulder, and walked quickly to the old woman.
"See for yourself! Now that I have covered the head of Master Guanyin, of course I will not shoot him out again, what about this mulberry silk net? It doesn't matter to you, it's just that the head on this shoulder can't go in and out, unless you give me a satisfactory answer, or keep it for me to look at the nursing home, right? The old woman pointed to the top of her head, and saw a red cloth covering the statue's head, and golden light flashed from below.
"What about you? Tell your mother-in-law, right? What the hell is going on with you? 1510 tells all of it, if there is a little falsehood, you will definitely not be able to get out of this room. Ding Hong patted the head of the radish head and pointed at the old woman.
"No hurry, no hurry! Now that this mulberry silk net has been laid, he can't get out without me unsealing it, so you can sit and drink tea first, and tell me slowly. The old woman brought a teapot of blue and white porcelain and put it on the table.
Seeing the old woman turn around, Ding Hong waved his hand to signal Huiqing, and the two sat down one after another, carrying a teapot and filling the cup with tea.
"Come on! Mother-in-law will pay tribute to you first for this cup of tea, thank you for waiting for you in the middle of the night, but I don't know your name? Is it better to call you? Ding Hong picked up the teacup with both hands, put it on top of his head and said.
"It doesn't matter what my name is, anyway, I'm just purifying sentient beings and resolving the confusion and disasters of the villagers in this neighborhood, but it's the head on my shoulder, I really want to know his story." The old woman took the teacup and pointed to the turnip.
Radish Head originally planned to drink some tea, but Ding Hong was afraid that he was leaking out, so when he heard the old woman's question, he patted him on the head: "Hurry up and tell your story!" We trust you very much, but we don't know the details of your story, so let's tell you about it! ”
Radish looked at everyone, sighed and said: "Originally, I didn't want to mention the past, since everyone wants to know, then I'll tell you, in fact, I am a tailor on the East Street of the city, a little craft in my hands, this day is also good, in addition to the cost of one day, I can always drop a little silver, and after a long time, I have saved enough as much as twenty taels, so I plan to send the matchmaker to tell me the daughter-in-law, I remember that day was the day of the market, I was busy greeting customers in the store." ”
It turned out that the voice of the matchmaker came from the door, so she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, and the old woman pulled the radish head aside, saying that it was for him to fall in love with the daughter of a family, not to mention the dignified appearance, and was about to come to see the door (that is, to touch the man's family, whether he has money or not, so as not to regret marrying late!). )。
The turnip head took off the apron, beckoned the guests to come back another day, and simply tidied up the shop, and waited and waited, watching the people who rushed to the market leave one after another, and did not wait for the people to come, and never saw any trace of the matchmaker, and fell asleep on the table.
When I woke up, it was already sunset, and I had no choice but to close the door with the door panel, and just after everything was in order, I was about to close the door when suddenly a wild cat rushed in.
The turnip head hurriedly picked up the white cat on the ground, which was very cute, and then turned around, but saw a person standing outside the door, and I was so frightened that I broke out in a cold sweat......
