Chapter 2 Yellow skin burns incense
Although Hou Bin didn't say anything, the three words "running ghosts" have always been hanging in the monkey's heart. But despite this, he could only put this matter aside for the time being. The two chatted and chatted and arrived at the mass grave, this mass grave is not very big, there can be more than 30 graves large and small, some have tombstones, some do not even have tombstones, and some are even overgrown with weeds, it seems that no one has come to fill the grave for a long time. The two of them took a general look, although it was still very early and the sun was still early to go down, but in this kind of place, there was still some indescribable feeling, so the two continued to hurry.
But before he had taken two steps, the monkey suddenly saw that not far from the other side of the mass grave, there was a pile of broken bricks and tiles, and there seemed to be smoke floating faintly. The monkey patted Hou Bin on the shoulder, pointed to the place and said, "Dabin, why does that piece seem to be smoking?" ”
"What's smoking?" Hou Bin looked in the direction pointed by the monkey, and sure enough, it seemed that something was on fire, "Hey, I'll go, what is this thing burning?" If no one sees it, it won't be a joke if it burns. Hou Bin said, and the two walked in that direction, and just after walking far, the two stopped.
It turned out that they saw an incense burner in front of the pile of broken bricks, and in it were inserted several burning incense sticks, and wisps of smoke were emitting. This is not strange, the strangest thing is that there is a yellow skin standing there in front of the incense burner. When I say standing, I mean that my two front legs do not touch the ground, but I only use my two hind legs to support my body and stand there, as if I am burning incense and worshipping the Buddha. The two of them were stunned by this scene, and hurriedly squatted next to a grave, for fear of alarming the yellow skin.
The monkey asked Hou Bin with an incredulous expression, "Dabin, isn't that a yellow skin?" It, what is it doing? ”
Hou Bin also stared intently at the yellow skin at this time, and said in a low voice: "I heard the second uncle say that the yellow skin burns incense, I guess this may be." ”
The monkey looked at Hou Bin in disbelief and said, "You mean that this incense is burned by yellow skin?" ”
Hou Bin nodded and said, "Well, but I don't know why it burns incense." ”
Although the two of them spoke as quietly as possible, they still alarmed the yellow skin. But instead of running, the yellow-skinned man turned around and stared at them. When it turned around, the monkey and the others realized that the guy's beard was actually white. At this time, Hou Bin said with some excitement: "Hey, I'll go, today is considered to be a gain of knowledge." ”
The monkey asked puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”
"I heard the second uncle say that it would take a hundred years for a yellow skin like this white-bearded person." After that, a smile appeared on his face.
"Wouldn't it? I've read in books, this thing is ten or twenty years of life, how can it be a hundred years? The monkey didn't quite believe what Hou Bin said.
"You know, yellow skins like this already have spirituality, this is not a common... Ordinary... The yellow... Skin... Zi ......" Hou Bin said and slowly stood up, and the speed of his speech suddenly changed very strangely. As soon as the monkey saw him stand up, he didn't know what was going on, and he also stood up, at this time Hou Bin slowly turned his head to look at the monkey, the movement of turning his head looked very stiff, his eyes were straight, his eyes were dull, and he said to the monkey in a weird tone: "Can you help me repair the land temple?" ”
The monkey was dazed by Hou Bin's move, shook his hand twice in front of Hou Bin's eyes and said, "Dabin, are you stupid?" What kind of land temple to build? ”
At this time, Hou Bin turned his head again, pointed to the pile of broken bricks and tiles, and said, "Can you help me repair that land temple?" Hou Bin's voice at this time was different from before, and he sounded like a eunuch in the palace.
The monkey subconsciously looked there, and it didn't matter, the monkey found that the yellow-skinned man had his back to them, and pointed at the pile of broken bricks with one of its front paws. At this time, the monkey's mind immediately came up with the legends that he had heard about the possession of the yellow skin. But in the past, the monkey had always thought that those legends were just rumors, that is, to listen to a little story after tea and dinner, and did not take it to heart at all. Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that Hou Bin was possessed by the yellow skin, but he still didn't believe it, so he pushed Hou Bin with his hand and said, "Dabin, are you joking?" Don't you scare me? ”
At this time, Hou Bin twisted his head again, his movements were still very stiff, and he still said the same sentence: "Can you help me repair the Land Temple?" ”
The monkey looked at Hou Bin's strange expression and did not speak, but turned his head to look at the yellow skin, and found that the yellow skin's head was also turned over. At this time, the monkey's heart was a little uneasy, could it be that this Hou Bin was really possessed by the yellow skin? He didn't dare to think about it anymore, and he didn't know what to do when he encountered this situation, so in a hurry, he pulled Hou Bin and prepared to leave here. But who knew that when he pulled Hou Bin, he found that Hou Bin's body was very stiff and he couldn't pull it at all. This made the monkey a little overwhelmed, and he was about to sweat in a hurry. At this moment, the monkey noticed that there was a fast stone on the ground, and suddenly thought of a way, bent down and picked up the stone, and threw it at the yellow skin. When the yellow-skinned man saw a stone thrown at him, he turned around and ran, but he did not go far before he stopped again, turned and stood there looking at them.
The monkey looked at it, and it was really not a mortal thing, if it was an ordinary yellow skin, he would have run away long ago, and he still needed to hit it with a stone. But he can't care so much now, and he is about to leave with Hou Bin, but this Hou Bin is still standing there with dull eyes, and the monkey is also in a hurry, and he is going up with a mouthful. Not to mention, this mouth is really effective, Hou Bin covered his face and looked at the monkey as if he had just woken up from a dream: "What are you hitting me for?" ”
The monkey didn't care about explaining, and dragged Hou Bin as he ran: "Don't ask so much, hurry up." ”
Hou Bin looked at the monkey's panicked look, and he didn't know what was going on, so he ran back with the monkey. The two of them ran to Beili Town in one go, and the monkey really couldn't run, so they found a place to sit there.
At this time, Hou Bin was already sweating profusely, and said angrily: "You dead monkey cub, what kind of crazy are you smoking, why are you running so fast?" ”
The monkey took a breath and said, "Do you really not know or are you pretending to be confused with me?" ”
Hou Bin asked with a puzzled face: "What the hell I'm pretending to be confused with you, I still want to ask you, you don't say a word, give me a mouthful, pull me and run." ”
When the monkey saw Hou Bin's serious appearance, he estimated that he really didn't know anything about what happened just now, so he said to Hou Bin: "You kid just let the yellow skin possess him." ”
When Hou Bin heard this, he looked surprised, and hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about?" I let the yellow skin possess me? ”
"What do you think? You also asked Lao Tzu to build a land temple for you. But then again, we've been together for so long, and it's the first time I've seen your virtue. The monkey burst out laughing.
As soon as Hou Bin heard that he was possessed, he felt a little incredible, carefully recalled what happened just now, and suddenly patted his thigh and said: "It seems to be true, I remember that when I was talking to you, I kept looking at the yellow skin, looking at it, I felt a little confused and sleepy, and then it was as if I was asleep, and then I didn't know anything." Then I felt like I was suddenly hit in the mouth by you. Speaking of this, Hou Bin walked back and forth on the ground, muttering: "I didn't expect that I, a big man, would actually let the yellow skin possess me." ”
At this time, the monkey suddenly said to the fat man with some nervousness: "Dabin, I heard that the yellow skin is very vindictive, I just hit it with a stone, do you think it will entangle me?" ”
"You smashed it again?"
"I couldn't pull you at the time, and I couldn't help it, so I picked up a rock and threw it at it. I just wanted to scare it away, but I didn't want to kill it. When the monkey said this, his mood became a little uneasy.
I didn't want Hou Bin to say nonchalantly: "It's okay, my second uncle is a ghost, don't say it's a yellow skin, even if the white bone spirit is here, my second uncle is not afraid of it." Don't worry, I'll go back and tell my second uncle later, and he'll know what to do. When the monkey heard this, he felt a little comforted in his heart, and the two of them hurried home.
When I got home, I saw the second uncle sitting in the yard with the pu fan, and when I saw them coming back, I said hello. Hou Bin took a stool and sat next to the second uncle, and hurriedly said to the second uncle: "Second uncle, tell you something." ”
Before Hou Bin could say anything, the second uncle suddenly put the fan in his hand aside, leaned next to Hou Bin, and then opened Hou Bin's eyes with his hand and said, "Where have you two been?" ”
Hou Bin looked at the second uncle with a puzzled look and said, "What's the matter, what's wrong?" ”
"Your eyes are dull and dull, you must have collided with something." The second uncle continued to ask, "Where have you been?" ”
Hou Bin looked at the second uncle with a surprised face, and said incredulously: "Second uncle, you are simply a god, before I can say it, you can see it?" ”
The monkey was also surprised at this time, but he didn't know what the second uncle did, he only knew what the relationship between this old man and a person called running ghost work, but it was still unclear what this ghost running job was for. But no matter what, when the monkey saw that the second uncle had such ability, he naturally felt a lot of comfort in his heart.
Hou Bin then told the second uncle about the two of them burning incense in the mass grave. The second uncle also showed a little surprise on his face after hearing this, "I didn't expect that such a spiritual thing could be produced in this poor and remote place." ”
Hou Bin asked puzzledly, "What?" Don't even you think such things are rare? ”
The second uncle showed a smile on his face, picked up the pu fan and said while fanning: "This kind of thing is very rare, and it may not be possible to produce one in a place for hundreds of years." ”
Hou Bin and the monkey looked at each other after hearing this, but they didn't expect to see such a rare thing in the countryside this time, which can be regarded as an increase in knowledge. Hou Bin then asked: "Second uncle, why does Huangpizi burn incense and worship the land?" ”
