Chapter 170: Bafang Town Stone
"Alas......" Hearing Xin Yangzi say this, my grandmother and my grandfather sighed at the same time, it seems that this Xin Yangzi has really reached the point of exhaustion, otherwise he is a monk and a Taoist, how could he pretend to be a god and lie and deceive people, but although he is not right, it is understandable that the sky can learn from the circumstances-
At this moment, there was a series of small footsteps outside, and after a while, a child's voice came from outside the door, as if it was still the child who served the tea just now, and heard the voice whisper: "Master, are you there?" The face is gone......"
When my grandmother heard this, her heart sank, and she saw Xin Yangzi hurriedly standing up from the chair, and embarrassedly arched her hand at her and my grandfather, "The two of you will wait a while, and you will go back when you go to the poor road." As he spoke, he raised his feet and walked towards the door, probably because his mind had flown outside at this time, and his body "banged" on the corner of the table, causing the water in the tea bowl on the table to splash out, but Xin Yangzi didn't seem to notice it at this time, and he didn't stop walking to the door, opened the door and walked out, and then, Xin Yangzi asked in a low voice, and heard the child reply, "It's really gone, there are only a few wild vegetables left." ”
My grandmother glanced at the door, sighed, and then got up and went to the door, but Xinyangzi had already led the child out of the hall.
My grandmother turned to my grandfather and said, "Dad, why don't you go home now, we still have some food at home, I'll go back and bring some over." ”
My grandfather heard my grandmother say this, and immediately nodded, "This Xinyangzi Taoist is the same as his master, benevolent and righteous, and admirable, this kind of person, if you don't help him, then there is no one in this world who we can help, go, call your brother, and then ask your uncle's house, you can bring as much as you can!" ”
"Hmm." My grandmother answered, walked out of the chamber, left the main hall, and went down the mountain road from which she had come before.
However, when my grandmother walked to the second Taoist platform, she suddenly noticed smoke suddenly coming out of the doors and windows of this Taoist temple, which has no chimney, that is, the Taoist temple where the children slept before, it seems that there is a fire cooking inside.
My grandmother couldn't help but walk in and take a look, and saw that the main hall was in the southeast corner of the wall, with a round pot table coiled with stones, and a large pot was supported on the pot table, from which hot steam was bubbling out, and dozens of children of all sizes were surrounded by them, looking into the pot with a pair of eyes, obviously hungry.
In front of the pot, a few older children were adding firewood to the stove. Next to the pot, I saw Xinyangzi holding a large wooden basin with one hand, and grabbing something from the wooden basin with the other hand and putting it in the pot.
My grandmother didn't make a sound, separated a few children next to the pot, walked to the cauldron and looked sideways, it turned out that Xinyangzi was putting wild vegetables in the pot, which is the very common wild vegetables on the mountain, and then looked into the pot, the clear soup boiled wild vegetables, and there was no food in the green soup, can this be eaten by the children? My grandmother's nose was sour.
At this time, Xinyangzi was busy working, and he didn't find my grandmother, and my grandmother didn't alarm him, and after looking at it, he turned around and left quietly.
To be brief, after my grandmother walked more than ten miles back home, she briefly told my grandfather and my grandmother about Huanghuadong.
My grandmother doesn't care about anything, she can do whatever happens at home. My grandfather, sometimes a little stingy in the market, but he is not ambiguous in the righteousness, listening to my grandmother, without saying a word, he went to his uncle Wang Caoyu's house on crutches and asked.
Wang Caoyu's family is also a kind person, and then the two families put it together and squeezed out more than 200 catties of grain and dozens of catties of ready-made rice noodles.
Wang Caoyu asked his grandson Wang Xiaoshun to set up a carriage, carrying grain and my grandmother and Wang Xiaoshun's younger brother Wang Xiaoer, and the three of them went straight to Huanghuadong. Originally, my grandfather was going to come to Huanghuadong to have a look, but my grandmother didn't ask him to come with him because he was struggling on the mountain.
After going back and forth, by the time my grandmother came to Huanghuadong again, it was almost noon.
After Wang Xiaoshun parked the carriage at the bottom of the mountain, my grandmother looked up at the mountain and saw that the mountain was full of children, large and small. At this time, my grandmother thought that they might be playing on the mountain, but this cliff, it is not a good thing for children to play on it, and this Xinyangzi does not care.
My grandmother got out of the carriage, and the two brothers Wang Xiaoshun unloaded the grain from the carriage and carried it on their bodies, led by my grandmother in front, and went up the mountain along the road.
When they came to the vicinity of the first Taoist temple, my grandmother realized that the children who were running around on the mountain were not playing, but digging wild vegetables, and the big ones were responsible for digging and the small ones were looking for them.
Seeing this scene, my grandmother was sad for a while, and saw that some children who were only three or four years old were also looking for wild vegetables with their heads down, and looking at the seriousness, my grandmother's tears couldn't help but flow.
After carrying the grain up the mountain, Xinyangzi thanked my grandmother and them for a thousand kindnesses, and his gratitude was beyond words. At noon, Xinyangzi made a big pot of white rice for the children, just like the New Year, the children cheered happily, and then, one by one, the little belly of the melon was round.
Seeing this scene, my grandmother breathed a long sigh of relief, and felt a little relieved in her heart. However, this is not a long-term solution, so how can these children be fed and live?
During the time my grandmother left, my grandfather and Xin Yangzi talked about some things again. Since their conversation involved many aspects, for the sake of frugality, I will not repeat it in detail here, and I will naturally write about it later.
My grandma and my grandfather had lunch with the kids.
After lunch, Xinyangzi took the children to send my grandfather and my grandmother to the bottom of the mountain, Xinyangzi was still thanking my grandfather and grandmother until this time, which made my grandmother and my grandfather feel ashamed.
Say goodbye to Xinyangzi and get into the carriage to go home, but there is something in my grandmother's heart that I can't figure out, and halfway through, my grandmother asked my grandfather, "Dad, since this Xinyangzi Taoist has a request for us, why did he drive the weir ghost to break into our house, and let us go up the mountain to find him overnight, and he himself went directly to our house to find us, isn't it?" ”
My grandfather smiled and said, "Don't you see it? Although this Xin Yangzi treats people and speaks to the point, however, he also has three points of arrogance in his bones, if he goes directly to our house to ask us for help, then don't we have to underestimate him? My grandfather said, and actually changed the conversation, and asked my grandmother, "When I practiced martial arts with a few martial artists in Caifu, after I learned martial arts, once I heard that others are also practitioners, do you know what your father will do?" ”
My grandfather's words are not related to the previous words at all, my grandmother was stunned, I didn't know what my grandfather wanted to say, and shook her head.
My grandfather continued: "I heard that others are also a practitioner, your father and I will go to compete with others, one is to discuss the superior, the other is to verify their own martial arts, the same reason, Xin Yangzi is also from the Xuanmen, driving the five ghosts, first, want to learn from us, second, if our Taoism is not as good as him, he still comes to ask us what to do?" Let's just say last night, if we don't find him, he'll think of another way and won't ask us for help again. ”
Hearing my grandfather say this, my grandmother suddenly realized.
Wang Xiaoshun and Wang Xiaoer, two brothers, sat in front of the car and didn't speak. My grandfather and my grandmother sat in the back of the car, and at this time they did not speak anymore, except for the rustling of the wheels on the ground.
After walking for a long time, my grandmother probably felt bored not to speak, so she asked her grandfather again: "Dad, after I went down the mountain, what did you say to Xinyangzi Daoist?" ”
When my grandfather heard this, he replied: "I didn't say anything, I passed on to him a method of burying the 'Octagon Stone'." ”
"Octagonal Stone?" When my grandmother heard this, she immediately said, "Isn't it okay to bury the 'square stone', why do you want to teach him to bury the square stone?" ”
My grandfather raised his head and glanced at my grandmother, "Zhi'er, why haven't you thought about it carefully, Xinyangzi wants to ask us to help him revive the Huanghua Temple, the 'square stone' is buried under the ground, and the 'octagonal stone' is buried in the ground." ”
"On the ground?" Hearing my grandfather say this, my grandmother blinked her eyes twice, and then thought about it, and immediately understood, and then, my grandmother showed a strange smile at my grandfather, and said: "Dad, I heard grandma say that your brain was very good when you were a child, and it seems that your brain is really good today." ”
My grandfather also laughed and scolded my grandmother, "You kid, what are you talking about......
Early the next morning, Xinyangzi came to the village, went directly to the village chief's house to find the village chief, Xinyangzi explained to the village chief, prepared eight strips of bluestone, each bluestone is six feet high, two feet wide, seven inches thick, the front is chiseled with the name of the eight gods, painted red with cinnabar, and the back is chiseled with seven big characters of "Huanghuadong bluestone Taoist", and also painted red with cinnabar.
The names of the gods of the eight directions are: Qianfang God, Bian Shikan, Fang God, Cao Gonggen, Fang God, Wei Pengxiang, Zhen Fang, Fang God, Qiu Huaxun, Fang God, Huai De, Lifang God, Bao Yukun, Fang God, Mi Wang, Fang God, Chen Lian.
These eight pieces of "octagonal stone", do not need to be buried all into the soil, buried under the soil two feet four inches, leave three feet six inches on the soil, when buried, the front is facing the outside of the village, the back is facing the village, each piece of bluestone is buried in the village of Qianzheng Nankan, southeast Gen is east, earthquake northeast Xun is north, away from the northwest Kun is west to the southwest eight directions. |
After Xinyangzi explained to the village chief, the village chief hurriedly went out to find someone to do it, because the male laborers in the village were lying at home, and the village chief had to go to other villages to ask for people, so we won't go into details.
Besides, Xin Yangzi, after leaving the village chief's house, went directly to my grandfather's house to visit, of course, it was inevitable that he would be grateful again.
After the two sides exchanged politeness, they sat down to watch the tea. After three rounds of tea, Xin Yangzi asked my grandfather, "May I ask Senior Liu, do you have a way to completely suppress those grievances once and for all, so that they can no longer harm people." ”
My grandfather thought for a while and said: "It's not nothing, but the source of these grievances must be found, and only by laying the foundation of the source of grievances or adapting measures to local conditions, and using other methods to dissolve these grievances, it can be solved once and for all, however, the source of these grievances is extremely difficult to find." ”
When Xin Yangzi heard my grandfather say this, he sighed and looked gloomy, "Your village can only save one of your villages, and the people of other nearby villages are going to suffer?" ”
My grandfather smiled when he heard this, and said: "The Taoist chief is compassionate and compassionate, and sure enough, the bodhisattva has a heart, you can rest assured, we will definitely be able to find out the source of these grievances, and when the time comes, we will never suffer again!" ”
