I said with a bitter face: "In the Evil Bodhisattva Temple, I was entertained by Mr. Lu's senior brother in the past, and the fasting meal at that time was enough vegetarian, but I didn't expect the villagers here to be even more excessive." ”

Mr. Lu said: "The lighter the food. It means that the more pious. I advise you to eat more, or you won't be able to get through it. ”

I knew I should eat more, but the food was so tasteless that I couldn't swallow it anymore after I could barely fill my stomach.

Xue Qian said vigorously: "Compared with yesterday's meal, this is simply a heaven and an underground." ”

I can't help but drool when I think of the dozen or so dishes I had yesterday. So taking advantage of this feeling, I ate a few more bites of food. I can't eat it anymore.

Only Mr. Lu chewed slowly and ate slowly for a long time. At this time, Mr. Lu also looked like a monk.

After the three of us had eaten enough. He sat down in the house and rested. Two villagers stood outside, guarding us as if they were standing guards. It felt bad, as if the three of us had become prisoners and they had put us on guard.

I said to the village chief, "What do you mean by that?" Why are there guards arranged? ”

The village chief smiled: "Little brother, don't get me wrong. You are the distinguished guests of the third grandmother. And the third grandmother is a living immortal. Naturally, we will receive you with the highest courtesy. The two guards were assigned to you, not to guard you, but to keep you safe. It's like ......"

The village chief thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "It's like the guards outside the palace in ancient times. ”

Xue Qian laughed: "It's the first time I've known that the people in the palace eat so lightly. ”

The village chief laughed dryly twice and left. As I was leaving, I heard him say, "I thought these three men were really urgent. It is too late to fast for seven days. Now it seems that I am afraid that there is no meat and no joy, and I can't bear to be light. ”

The village chief seemed not very pleased with us, shook his head, and left.

The three of us sat back in the room. When I was bored, I said, "What do you two think we mean by those scenes we dreamed of?" ”

Xue Qian said: "Obviously, this means that I am talking about the origin of the third grandmother. ”

I said, "Is this really how the third grandmother came?" It's a bit ......."

Halfway through my words, Mr. Lu coughed lightly. Then he pointed out the door.

I suddenly woke up to the fact that the wall had ears. The village chief looks honest, but we don't know him, so it's better to be careful.

He can become the village head, not necessarily because of his high morality. The two people outside are called beautiful to let us enjoy the status of the emperor, but who knows. Is it to eavesdrop on our conversation?

In their village, no one has dreamed of the origin of the third grandmother for many years. Presumably even the village chief. I also want to know why. So arranging for two people to stay here and see if they can eavesdrop on some news from us and go back, this mind is simply normal.

The three of us stopped talking about these things, but talked about something else. Wait until it gets dark. We all felt a little tired.

I lay on that bed and thought to myself, "Fasting for a day and a night." We've gone one day, and one night to go. The night was long and difficult to get through. I'd better get some sleep, or I'll be hungry and I won't be able to sleep even if I want to. ”

Thinking of this, I closed my eyes. At this time, I suddenly heard the voice of the village chief: "Are the three distinguished guests still there?" ”

Then the two guards replied, "It's still there." ”

The village chief hummed and ordered, "The third grandmother wants to see them." ”

As soon as I heard this, I opened my eyes and sat up.

The two guards asked curiously, "Didn't you say that you should fast for a day and a night?" It's not dawn yet, why does the third grandmother want to see them? Hey? The third grandmother is talking again? ”

The village chief's voice was a little strange: "The third grandmother said that the matter is urgent, and she can't wait for dawn." ”

The two guards pushed open the door in a panic and said to us, "Three gentlemen, the third grandmother is invited." ”

The three of us tidied up our clothes, and then followed the village chief and a few others outside.

After a while, we came to the Three Grandmothers Temple. In the dream, the temple was just a tall temple gate and a small one inside. In fact, the scale of the Three Grandmothers Temple is not small. There are more than a dozen halls here, enshrined in the relics of the three grandmothers. It's more like a museum.

We followed the village chief for a while until we came to a thatched hut in the northwest corner of the temple.

The village chief pointed to the thatched hut and said, "The third grandmother is inside." ”

I looked at the magnificent halls behind me in amazement, and then at the low and dilapidated thatched houses in front of me, I couldn't believe my eyes, and I asked, "How can the third grandmother live in such a place?" ”

The village chief did not answer me, but nudged me.

Xue Qian and Mr. Lu and I walked in.

I saw three futons in the hut. On one of the futons, sat an extremely old man. Her flesh had turned purple-black, as if she had long since died. It is estimated that she is the third grandmother. Next to her, sat two elderly women.

When the two women saw us coming in, they stood up, saluted us, and said, "Three distinguished guests, please be seated." ”

Then they took out a futon and an oil lamp from a cupboard in the corner of the room. The futon was placed on the ground, and the oil lamp was hung on the wall. At this time, two lights were lit up in the room, which was much brighter than before.

I saw the third grandmother slowly open her eyes and say angrily, "You two go out." Let those people outside retreat outside the temple, and no one will be allowed to come near, and you two will supervise them for me. ”

The two women agreed. Then he pushed the door and went out. Then, I heard footsteps, and it was supposed to be the village chief and a few people leaving.

The three of us sat on top of the futon, and neither of us spoke. The third grandmother's voice just now was extremely weak, as if she would die at any time. Combined with her current appearance, it's really worrying.

I couldn't bear to look at the thin old man in front of me, so I stared at the lights in a daze. At this time, Xue Qian next to me suddenly stabbed me, and then pointed at the third grandmother.

When I looked back, I saw that her flesh was turning from purple and black to ruddy, and her eyes were becoming very clear, as if she had become a teenager in just a few dozen minutes.

The third grandmother smiled at us and said kindly, "Hello. ”

The voice is still very old, but it is already full of energy, and there is no longer a feeling of waning.

All three of us said hello to the third grandmother. I couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so much younger in a few minutes?" ”

The third grandmother said, "Do you really want to learn?" It's a pity that I don't have much time, otherwise, it wouldn't hurt to teach you. ”

Mr. Lu asked in a rare and serious manner, "Does the old lady have something to say to us?" "-#~Wonderful Pen Pavilion?++

The third grandmother nodded and said, "The messenger gave you a dream, right?" ”

We all nodded.

The third grandmother sighed: "Originally, I should have done this." But as these days passed, I also got older and weaker. So I had to choose a messenger. These messengers only know the content of the dream, but they do not know the meaning of the dream, so as not to reveal the heavenly secrets. I have called you here today to tell you the meaning of your dreams. ”

My heart couldn't help but get excited, because I always felt that the third grandmother was afraid that she would have to say something important.

I only heard her say lightly: "What you see in your dreams is true." A long time ago, I don't remember if it was hundreds of years ago, or thousands of years ago. There was once a plague here, and the whole village died. The bodies were left in the village, and there was not even one to bury them. ”

"After I don't know how many years, a group of people came. To be exact, no one knew at the time whether they were human, ghosts, or gods. They brought divine water and sprinkled this spiritual creature on the people's bodies, and revived everyone. But those who came back to life became beasts and began to kill each other. Hey, that scene is so miserable, it's better to die. ”
