Chapter 149: The Mountain God's Temple (1)
The sadness is the most parting, there is a saying that once said: the most painful thing is not parting, but the memories after parting.
Touching the little girl's head, Cha Wenbin glanced back at the old mansion, and said in his heart: Child, I hope you can forget the unhappiness here in the future, and think of the happiness that your grandfather once left you.
The locked door, the patina of the knocker, one day, is going to leave. Zhang Laohan put the key in his hand and looked up at the protruding tile on the old house, which left traces of his life, and today is finally leaving.
The snow in the forest is deep and shallow, Zhang Laohan said, don't look at this endless white place, but the feet are dangerous. There are many caves on this mountain, which will be planted if you are not careful, and there are also those snowdrifts that look at the white flowers, maybe you can kill at any time if you step on the edge of the rock.
The kid and the Great Elder could also play together, and now they were riding on his neck, and having such an elf as a companion added a lot of fun along the way. Facing the rising sun, the earth is covered with a layer of golden light, the snowflakes that fall from the pine branches from time to time burrow into people's necks, and occasionally a few jumping squirrels will hold the dried fruits hanging on the tips for a while, such a scene is a bit like traveling.
Climb to the highest peak, the stretching mountains make people feel that there is indeed a majestic place here, Cha Wenbin took the compass and looked back and forth: "The green dragon is surrounded by the high mountain, the yellow color is golden in winter, the water recognizes the dragon and recognizes the hole, what is the difficulty of three feet across the soil?" ”
"Yo, Cha Ye, is this a discovery?" The fat man said: "It's not difficult to say at this time." ”
Cha Wenbin said with a smile: "This is an old saying, passed down from the ancestors, the ancestors said: one to come to the dragon knot cave is true, the second is to face the mountain but there is love, the third is to the city and Guo Liuxiu, the fourth is to be evenly placed by the dragon and tiger, and the four are not a game." ”
The Great Elder said, "Then is this game done?" ”
Cha Wenbin pointed to the mountain range in front of him and said: "There are mountains, water, and dragons, the feng shui here is excellent, the mountain range is evenly undulating, and there are clouds and mist in the place in front of you, do you feel that there is a golden light when the sun is strung down from above?" If I had to choose, I would definitely choose there, surrounded by mountains in all directions, but its terrain is a step higher, which is called the stars holding the moon. The green dragon on the left and the white tiger on the right, the upper Xuanwu, the lower Vermilion Bird, and the real dragon Guihuang in the middle! ”
"This Mr. Cha has good eyesight." Zhang Laohan said: "That place is Shenxian Terrace, don't look at the distance, in fact, it takes a long time to walk to get there, there is not much time to be exposed outside all year round, this mountain is humid and foggy, catch up with some days, look down from the top of the mountain, and the sea of clouds seems to be layer upon layer." ”
"I didn't expect it, sure enough, Mr. Cha still has a good foundation." The Great Elder put away the stone and said, "It seems that the ancestor did find a good place back then. ”
Zhang Laohan suggested: "Go down from here, to the hill in front, if it goes well, you have to walk for half a day, and then go over two hills, there is a river below, now this season, the river will freeze, tonight we can go down to the halfway slope to camp, there is an abandoned mountain temple there." ”
"It's not an avalanche, is it?" Based on their experience in the Northeast, the fat man was reluctant to choose that location for the camp.
"No, the snow in the south is different from the north, and it freezes at night." Zhang Laohan said: "The temperature here is extremely low at night, adults can stand it, and this child can't stand it either." ”
Indeed, Doudou is a very likable child, especially a pair of big watery eyes, the long eyelashes are fluttering every time, and the pink little face is whirring, teaching people to want to kiss it when they look at it. It was originally a crime to let a child follow them, and Cha Wenbin decided to agree to find a place where they could hide from the mountain wind, and everyone could also make a fire to keep warm.
It's easy to go up the mountain, but it's hard to go down, especially under the feet, which are all a touch of ice and snow. The snow in the south is heavy and humid, and the surface of the snow is like a mirror, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will slip on it. The descent is like walking on an upside-down mirror, and only you can understand the hardships. You can only use ropes to tie the trees, layer by layer down, not long after, several people's pants and shoes are all soaked, people will melt ice as soon as they are hot, and if they don't move, they will freeze again, stop and go, stop and go, and when they reach the position of the small temple, the toes of several people are about to fall.
The fat man tore some branches back and poured alcohol on them, and the live branches were mixed with ice and snow, and the fire that burned made a choking smoke. The mountain temple was really small, and the snow inside took up half of it. Ice edges hung everywhere on the stone walls, and a clay statue that had long since collapsed looked at this group of strangers who had broken in.
Cha Wenbin took incense and candles, this is his habit, to stay in the temple, no matter what is enshrined in it, he will definitely bow down.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the sorted out mountain temple could barely accommodate five people, looking at the stars that had been revealed in the sky, Cha Wenbin breathed the indescribable freshness of the cold air in the mountain.
At night, the bonfire is hot with spicy ginger soup, and the steamed buns that are frozen into stones are thrown inside, and when you eat it, your snot can be hung as if you have noodles. The fat man was so addicted that he didn't care about the smell of the shoes when they were baked.
"Cha Ye, are we a little disrespectful to the gods inside, whether you want to offer two steamed buns to go in, it's always someone's territory."
"You talk a lot of nonsense," Cha Wenbin said: "How many times have I told you, no matter how big or small the god in the temple, you have to control your mouth, and if you say it, you will be blamed." As he spoke, he turned his head back and looked around, and when he saw that the candles burning in it had been extinguished, and the incense had stopped about halfway there.
Looking at the ice ridge on it, Cha Wenbin wondered if there was water dripping down on it and getting wet, so he got up and went in to check it, the incense candles were still dry, and the incense was still hot when he touched it. He looked up at the small space, the stones were covered with moss and covered with a layer of ice, and the people outside the door were hula eating dinner, and a vague uncomfortable feeling began to spread from all around.
"Have any of you touched the incense in here?"
"No, who's going to get those things," said the fat man, "what's the matter, is there a problem?" ”
"The candle is out," Cha Wenbin said in a low voice, "This is not a good sign," he got out of the low room and said to Zhang Laohan: "Uncle Zhang, can we change places, this place is a little too crowded." ”
"It's too late, Mr. Cha," Zhang Laohan said: "It's easy to have an accident if you slip down in such darkness, there is a deep valley below, and the stones are like blades, if you slide down and hit the head, ...... down."
The fat man also said: "That's it, Cha Ye, shouldn't you be worried about the candle?" In a small temple and whether there is a god or not, Lao Tzu lived in today to give it face, we also incense, worship and worship, the mountain is considered to have done a big gift. If there is really something to do, Lao Tzu will tear it down and tell it not to even leave a nest. ”
Thinking that the road was indeed difficult to walk in the afternoon, Cha Wenbin turned around and glanced at the collapsed clay sculpture, weighed it again and again, and said: "Well, take turns on duty at night, I will post a town house charm inside, the fire outside cannot be extinguished, and some fierce beasts in this forest are indispensable." ”
There is a thin blanket on the ground inside, which is said to be a blanket, but in fact it is a layer of plastic skin. The fat man said that this thing was easy to carry and waterproof, and sleeping on it was no different from being frozen, and the excess part happened to be hung at the door as a curtain, and he picked some thick charcoal fire and surrounded it with a few stones, and at night, they needed this to resist the cold. Doudou has been wrapped in his arms by his grandfather with clothes, the first class is the Great Elder, more than ten o'clock in the effort, the fat man came to replace him in the second shift.
The first half of the night was spent in such a peaceful situation, a little more than a scene, it was Cha Wenbin's turn, and when he came out, the fat man was already a little dazed and asleep.
At night, are you okay in the distance? Cha Wenbin's heart began to appear like that woman, but soon, another person appeared in his mind, the woman with a big belly. He shook his head vigorously, patted his head with his hand and said, "What are you thinking, please remember that there is no Yuan Xiaobai in this world." ”
When he was thinking wildly, there was movement behind him, and it turned out to be Zhang Laohan holding Doudou out of the nocturnal urination. Children always have to get up at night, and she is very unhappy that she keeps stepping on it, and the old man is a little embarrassed and says: "Mr. Cha, I'm sorry, this almost got you." While wiping for Cha Wenbin, he panicked and didn't pay attention to his feet, the firewood was stepped on, and a burst of sparks suddenly rose. Cha Wenbin only felt a pain in his eyes, presumably because he had collapsed.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll do it myself." He rubbed his eyes vigorously, and the inside was as uncomfortable as sand, and the tears unconsciously poured out from the inside. Zhang Laohan apologized vigorously, and Doudou seemed to know that he had done something wrong, and sobbed quietly on the side.
Finally cleaned up the dust, Cha Wenbin smiled and emphasized that it didn't matter, and at the same time touched the child with a slight tear stain, and the old and young re-entered the small temple behind.
About three o'clock, Cha Wenbin was ready to go in to replace Ye Qiu, he had been climbing the mountain for the past two days, he was indeed a little tired, yawned and called Ye Qiu up, he lay down by himself, the ground still carried the warmth of Ye Qiu's body, turned over, he also entered the dream, he didn't see the rune paper that was originally attached to the wall, I don't know when it was gone......
