42. Causes
Niu Erzhu felt dizzy, almost sat on the ground with a shock, his ears were buzzing, and the Venus in front of him was wild, and he almost vomited blood on the spot. Although Da Shao is only a half-grown child, after all, he has a lot of experience, and he knows that if he spits out this mouthful of blood, he will be wasted, and everything he will do in the future will be in vain, so he hurriedly forced a breath, and reluctantly pressed down the churning blood, looked up in dizziness, and suddenly lost all his thoughts, only to see that the thing had flown in front of him, and he opened his huge mouth and bit it!
Da Shao was so shocked by the thunder that he couldn't move, that is, he had more breaths than the dead, and where could he dodge, he could only wait for death. Although Niu Erzhu has suffered since childhood, he has never complained about the sky, and he is a hot-blooded young man who refuses to accept defeat lightly, and he is determined to do a big career since he was a child, at least he wants to dominate one side like Ma Siye. But the situation is like this, and he can't help but be arrested without restraint, Da Shao thinks of all kinds of previous encounters, and can't help but feel sad, and almost cry on the spot!
The two pillars are waiting for death, there is a sudden loud bang outside the temple, thunder falls from the sky, a huge lightning bolt is like a silver dragon sweeping the sky, the long sword is swinging, Kerala will come down, the sparks splash everywhere they pass, the sky is frightened and angry, the sky is shattered, the earth is trembling, and it goes straight to a person and a monster. Niu Erzhu's eyes were dark, and he was frightened, but he also felt a little lucky, no matter what, being killed by the thunder is better than being a monster's supper, and the teenage boy died well under the power of the sky!
Da Shao is full of pride, the lightning has been shot down, straight to the temple, Niu Erzhu was shocked, thought that he would die, who knew that the lightning was like having eyes, impartial, was hitting the monster, although this spirit who didn't know what was also some magical powers, in the end it was a wild road that could not be seen in the grass, where could the enemy be mighty and mighty, and all evils would be easy to dispel? At that time, I couldn't even scream. Immediately turned into a pile of fly ashes, and disappeared in an instant!
The huge thunder slashed the demon and disappeared immediately, and the pouring rain outside the temple became smaller and smaller, and in less than a cup of tea, the clouds and rain dispersed, and the heaven and earth suddenly became silent, which was a world of difference from the angry rain howling in the sky. The rain stopped for a while, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, a bright moon and the sky were in the sky, the heaven and the earth were suddenly clear, the breeze was cool, and the silver light was like water, and it became a fairyland-like world.
Niu Erzhu was stunned for a long time, and then realized that the earth-shattering thunderstorm just now was not caused by demons and evil spirits, but the anger of the heavenly father, who wanted to thunder and slash ghosts, and couldn't help but feel a burst of relief in his heart, sighing that God finally opened his eyes. The demon has been eliminated, the young man is happy in his heart, he turned around to wake up the three rats, and told the experience before and after, the two brothers talked about it, and they rested in peace, just waiting for the light of day to shine, and went out of the temple to invite the masters.
Speaking of which, you may all be confused, what the hell is going on, don't worry, the ins and outs of this matter, not to mention Niu Erzhu and the three rats, even the monster himself may not be able to say clearly, if you want to get to the bottom of it, we have to start from the beginning.
This temple was originally called the Tiger Temple, and it was originally very fragrant, but it was abandoned for a long time. At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, this place was originally a big town store, densely populated, very prosperous, only because of the chaos of the army, it gradually declined. There is an old man here, born pure and kind, who has never killed in his life, let alone cows, horses, pigs and dogs, and even ants have never crushed a single one. This old man has nothing to do, the ancestral craft of winemaking, every day to pick up the burden, go to the street to sell, not only never mixed with water, but also buy and sell fairly, never short of catties and short two.
On this day, the old man came back from selling wine, passed by a wood, heard the humming and chirping in the grass, I don't know what is called extremely miserable, the old man is kind-hearted, and he opened the grass to see, there is a tiger cub lying inside, blood on his hind legs, and he doesn't know what is hurting. It stands to reason that most people don't dare to take care of things like tigers and leopards, but the old man is too kind, so he takes the tiger cub home and takes it care for a few years. In the blink of an eye, the tiger is getting more and more day by day, although it is extremely docile, never hurts people, but the family can no longer raise, the old man has to endure the pain to release it back into the mountains and forests, since then, the tiger often takes some deer and other wild meat to repay the favor, the locals see it in the eyes, all say that the tiger has spirituality, but I am afraid that it is a fairy family illusion.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng rebelled, the Qing soldiers entered the customs, and the world was in chaos. Even this wild town also suffered, the old man who bought wine had died a few years ago, but the tiger still came every day, and actually worshipped at the old man's grave like a human being. On this day, everyone was making a living, and suddenly a group of Qing soldiers came up on the official road, everyone, when the Qing army first entered the customs, it was not as benevolent and righteous as it was on TV, it was to kill the Han people when they saw them, and they were not much better than hooligans and bandits. As soon as everyone saw the Tartar, they immediately scattered and fled, but where could the two legs of ordinary people run past the world-famous domineering iron horseman, and they didn't run a few steps, and they were caught up by the hitchhiker, one by one, like chopping melons and vegetables, killing a river of blood.
The sky is dark here, killing like purgatory on earth, it alarmed the tiger, this tiger has lived with people since childhood, and has also passed some human nature, since the old man is regarded as a benefactor, love the house and Wu, and the residents of the town are close to each other, today I saw such a tragic situation, where is willing to stand by and watch, when a loud roar, rushed into the Qing barracks, it stands to reason that people see the tiger, there is no fear, but before the Manchurians entered the customs, most of them were hunters, and there were few honest farmers who farmed, and they were used to seeing all kinds of fierce beasts, and the two fought for a whileAfter a while, the corpses were all over the field, although the Qing soldiers finally retreated, but the tiger was too seriously injured, and within a few days, he also died.
The townspeople were grateful for the tiger's life-saving grace, so they made a statue of a god in the jungle, this god is like a tiger's head and a human body, extremely powerful, and people who pass by are all shocked, this is the origin of this god statue in the temple. Every New Year's Festival, the townspeople continue to sacrifice, and the change of dynasty has never stopped, and every time there is a demand, there are also some fulfillments, and over time, it has become a local custom.
If this thing goes on like this, it can be regarded as complete, and it will not cause many things, and the bad thing is that some people have bad intentions and want to accumulate money through the gods and Buddhas. It is said that on this day, a group of old people came to the town, all of whom were five big and three coarse, and the faces were vicious. The leader of this group of people is a villain who walks the rivers and lakes, and he specializes in defrauding people of money, and when he heard this, he suddenly had evil thoughts, and his eyes rolled, but he had a ghost idea!
This group of people was originally just passing by here, but since they knew about it, they stayed, for a few days, there was no intention of leaving, although the townspeople wondered in their hearts, but since they gave the restaurant money, they were embarrassed to ask more, everyone was busy all day long for a mouthful of food, who would care about their business? As everyone knows, this indulgence has cheapened this group of restless and well-meaning people, and also laid the groundwork for future disasters!
