I looked at the vixen's look and guessed the ** score, so I asked, "Have you never dreamed of it?" ”

The fox spirit said regretfully: "The third grandmother is a fairy. It is a great honor to be able to dream of her. If you can't dream about it, there's nothing to complain about. If she can keep us safe, we will be content. ”

Speaking of this, the fox spirit sighed faintly and said, "There are already many people who have not dreamed of the third grandmother anymore. The people who had dreamed of her before were dead. After death, he is a ghost, and the ghost is reincarnated. Now that I know the background of the third grandmother, there is only one ghost left, and this ghost is also very old. I don't know why, he has always refused to be reincarnated. He is here, and there is a person who knows the background of the third grandmother, which is a good thing. But he delayed any longer. And his soul was gone. ”

I asked, "Why is this ghost so stubborn?" ”

The vixen shook his head: "This, I don't know. Everyone once asked him if he wanted to pass on the deeds of the third grandmother, but he refused to agree. ”

The three of us talked all the way, and we had already walked out of Huaicheng. Everyone was silent for a while, and Mr. Lu asked again: "I heard you say before, this time your three brothers helped you get justice, and the third grandmother agreed. So, have you seen the third grandmother? ”

The fox spirit said: "Since the third grandmother claims to be a living immortal. Then of course we'll see. I have seen her not only when I was alive, but even after I died. It's just that she never talks to us, just nods or shakes her head. ”

I thought to myself, "The great people of the past and the present, in order to create a sense of mystery." Often in seclusion. Otherwise, it will not be enough to establish prestige. But no matter how deep and simple you are, you should also speak and let people pass on the news. Like the third grandmother, she can only nod or shake her head, but there are very few. ”

I don't know why, but I always feel that these three grandmothers won't hurt us.

We walked after the vixen for half the night. Later, my legs hurt a little. Suddenly, the vixen pointed to the light in front of him and said, "Did you see that?" ”

I nodded. said, "I see." It's weird, it's early in the morning, there are still lights, is there still someone who hasn't slept? ”

The vixen said, "This lamp is from the temple of the third grandmother. In our village, there are people who take care of the temple of the three grandmothers, day and night. There are people on duty, lest the third grandmother have something to pass down. But no one was found. ”

I nodded, thinking, "You're really religious." ”

We walked for a while, and suddenly the vixen said, "It's about to dawn, and I can't send you anymore." If you follow the lights, you will naturally find the Three Grandmothers Temple. The people in our village are very kind. You don't have to worry. ”

Then, she said with some anxiety: "When you go to the village, don't ask where my home is." Even if they happen to meet my parents, don't talk about me, I don't want them to know what I did in Huaicheng. Not only my parents, but also my fellow villagers. ”

I nodded and said, "I understand, don't worry." ”

The vixen thanked us, and then vanished. A few minutes later, I heard the crows of chickens coming from the direction of the village.

The three of us walked in the middle of the night and wanted to sit down and rest for a while. However, Mr. Lu said, "Let's go." Wait until you get to the village, have a meal, and get a good night's sleep. It's better than settling in this wasteland. ”

We walked for a few more hours, and when the sun was peeking in the east, we finally reached the entrance of the village.

Mr. Lu pointed to a big stone at the entrance of the village: "Look, it says Sanma Village here. ”

The three of us were about to make some comments. Suddenly, a small child jumped out from beside the stone and shouted to the village: "Come." ”

Immediately afterward, the village remembered the bells. Then I heard a cacophony of human voices, like ocean waves, rushing towards the entrance of the village.

This voice made me a little frightened, I looked at Mr. Lu and said, "What's the matter?" How do I feel like this is going to be a group fight? ”

Xue Qian also said with a bitter face: "Didn't the fox spirit say that the people in the village are very kind? What does that mean? ”

Mr. Lu waved his hand and said, "Don't be nervous, the bell is not necessarily a warning. Maybe it's to tell the time. ”

I said, "Let's not kid ourselves, okay?" Is it necessary to tell the time with so many people coming to the entrance of the village? ”

As I was speaking this, I suddenly heard a few bangs in the village, sparsely sounded, but the hearts of those who listened were shocked.

Xue Qian hesitated and said, "It seems to be a gunshot." ”

I tilted my head and glanced into the village, and by this time I saw that two gray-haired old men had rushed to the front of the village, both of them carrying old-fashioned, almost one-man shotguns in their hands.

Mr. Lu grinned and said, "Run." ”

The three of us didn't know what was going on, so we fled outside the village in a panic. However, we had not run a few steps before a group of villagers came out in front of us. They came together and trapped us.

The three of us shouted loudly, "We didn't do anything, you can't be unreasonable, right?" ”

However, the villagers held on to us. Pushing, supporting, wrapping. They swept us into the village like a torrent.

We were shoved into a big room. Then the villagers put more than a dozen dishes on the table in front of us, urging one by one: "Eat, eat quickly." ”

The three of us looked at each other to make sure we weren't kidnapped.

I looked at the villagers, who were black and yellow-faced, apparently working in the fields all year round. A few of them grinned, and most looked at us curiously.

Mr. Lu whispered: "Those few gunshots just now may be out of some kind of etiquette, just like in ancient times, pirates met their accomplices at sea and wanted to fire a few cannons. ”

I grinned and said, "That's scary etiquette." ”

Xue Qian said: "It seems that the fox spirit did not lie to us, the villagers here are indeed enthusiastic." We are so popular, I don't know, I think it was Tang Seng and his apprentice who entered the daughter country? ”

At this time, an old man sat down across from us and asked, "Three distinguished guests, why don't you eat?" ”

Mr. Lu laughed dryly: "It's really flattering to be treated with such a warm welcome when I first arrived." ”

The old man laughed and said, "Don't be surprised, this is what the third grandmother ordered, of course we have to do it." ”

Mr. Lu said curiously: "The third grandmother ordered it down?" ”

The old man nodded: "Legend has it that a long time ago, the third grandmother would say a few words from time to time to manage the village. It's just that after that, she talked less and less. Since then, there have been special people in the village, waiting around the clock for the third grandmother. If she speaks, get it across. ”

The old man sighed, "I'm over eighty years old now. But since birth, I have never heard the third grandmother speak. Unexpectedly, last night, the third grandmother suddenly said, at sunrise, there will be three distinguished guests from the east, you should be entertained, after nightfall, let them wait for me in the main hall. ”

The three of us suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder these villagers have welcomed us so warmly, it turns out that the legendary living gods have spoken." ”.！

However, there was a new doubt in my heart: "Since the third grandmother claims to be a living immortal, we are near the village, she can sense it, this is not strange, the strange thing is that why do you want to entertain us?" Is there any reason for this? ”

I was thinking of this when I suddenly heard Mr. Lu ask, "Recently, has there been a Taoist priest surnamed Ma here?" ”

When Mr. Lu mentioned Daoist Ma, the villagers' faces all changed greatly, and then they asked vigilantly, "What is your relationship with Daoist Ma?" ”

Mr. Lu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, we are not all the way with him, not only are we not all the way, but we also have a little hatred." ”

All the villagers suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder the third grandmother ordered us to come down and let us entertain you, it turns out that you don't deal with the surnamed Ma." ”

They asked expectantly, "So, the three of you are here to help us?" ”
