Chapter 246: Land Temple
At this time, I was already completely stupid by this news, and when I saw that Mrs. Chang had disappeared, I immediately panicked, looked at the time, and secretly screamed badly, because it was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, and it would be almost time soon.
Thinking that when Mrs. Chang said that the ghost would come to detain Yang Qing's soul, my heart was so anxious that it was burning hot.
I didn't believe that Mrs. Chang would lie to me, but she showed up to inform me, and it was obvious that this was true.
If I really killed Yang Qing because of my lonely life, I would hate myself for the rest of my life.
At that moment, where did I have time to feel sad about my lonely life, I didn't dare to delay at all, turned around and hurriedly went out.
At this time, there was a night market outside, and the night in the city was even more prosperous than during the day, so I found a night market, fried a few side dishes, bought a few bottles of liquor, and then hurriedly trotted towards the west according to what Mrs. Chang said......
After crossing a few streets and passing a river, I broke a few willow branches, put them in a bottle of liquor, and continued westward.
At first, everything in front of me was very familiar as during the day, but after I trotted for more than ten minutes, the scenery in front of me suddenly became different and extremely unfamiliar.
I have lived in the city of Ganzhou for several years, not to mention that I am familiar with every place, but I have been to every street, and I still remember the image. However, what I saw now surprised me, because everything here was completely different from the West Side in my image.
I see, now the street around is no longer asphalt pavement, there are no high-rise buildings on both sides, there are no vehicles and night markets, but it has become a wide bluestone road, both sides of the bluestone avenue are full of blue and blue ancient houses, these houses do not know how many years, antique, after the vicissitudes of the old sense, the wall is high and the courtyard is deep, the gate is closed, as far as the eye can see, it is all this kind of ancient house, not a modern high-rise building.
These are located on both sides of the bluestone-paved streets, all of which are closed, and the locks on the dilapidated gates are rusted, and it is clear that the houses here are long uninhabited.
In the middle of the night, the streets were deserted, and the night wind was raging, rolling up dust, and it seemed desolate and lonely.
Looking at everything in front of me, I couldn't even believe my eyes, and I thought I had returned to ancient times.
However, after thinking about it, I realized that this street must be the intersection of the netherworld, and what I saw in front of me could actually be said to be not a thing in the yang world.
Thinking about this, I relaxed a little. Mrs. Chang said that if I keep walking towards the west, I will see a land temple. You must know that there was no land temple in Xicheng in Ganzhou, and I was worried about whether I could find a land temple before, but now I believe that Chang land temple must be ahead.
The land temple is the place where the land father-in-law lives. The land lord is the immortal who is in charge of a piece of land in ancient Han legends, lives underground, and is the lowest level among the immortals. As the saying goes, "Don't take the land lord as a god". As a local protector god, the land lord protects the peace of one party, so it is popular all over the country, and in the old days, there was a phenomenon of worshipping the land god wherever there were people living there.
The land temple, some of which are made of stones at the intersection, and some of the land temples are a temple, and the folk believe that the land can protect the peace.
However, most people in the world think that the land is to bless the peace and tranquility of one party, but no one knows that the land temple also manages the life and death of the population.
In fact, there are land temples in every place, some of which are invisible to the naked eye of our yang people, but they are real. It is said that the Land Temple is the interface of the underworld, and no matter whether the local people are alive or dead, they have to pass through the Land Temple. The land lord has the local "household registration book" in his hand, which records the local mountains and rivers, population, livestock, and the number of people. As the saying goes, one side of the water and soil supports one side of the people, one side of the land protects the other side, and the birth and death of a soul must pass through the local land temple.
Although the land is a lowly god, it is a well-known god, and everyone does not dare to collide. It is also an important messenger of communication between all walks of life in the world and the divine realm, from the transmission of expressions to the incineration of worshipping money, it is inseparable from the help of the father-in-law of the land. When someone has reached the end of his life, the Yin soldier will take the soul card and the ticket to the land temple to clear the customs, and the land father-in-law will open the local "household register" for verification, the deceased belongs to the local clan, and he is indeed dead, and one by one to verify that there is no religious belief, so the local land seal will be stamped on the ticket, so that the ghost can detain the soul. There is a passage on both sides of the land Gonggong God case, which is the Huangquan Road to the Yin Cao Difu, and after the Yin soldiers are detained to the soul, they will turn into a yin wind and set foot on the Huangquan Road.
Since the Land Temple belongs to the entrance to the junction of the underworld, and now that I have entered the boundary of Yin and Yang, I believe that there should be a Land Temple ahead.
Thinking of this, I quickened my pace even more urgently and continued to run.
After walking a few hundred meters, a land temple finally appeared in front of me!
When I came to the gate of the Land Temple, I looked up at this Land Temple. There is a couplet written on both sides of the temple door, and the upper couplet is: There is a temple without a monk to sweep the floor; The next link is: incense and candles and less moon lighting; Horizontal batch: Land Temple.
The Land Temple is the same as this couplet, an indescribable sign of ruin. It's not as ornate as the government administrations of the Yang world, and it's even a lot worse than the houses on both sides of the street.
I saw that this land temple was not big, it was an earthen house that entered and exited, covered with black tiles, and the earthen walls were full of cracks, and the whole thing looked like an extremely dilapidated and dilapidated house, which looked so desolate in the night wind. If it weren't for the fact that I saw the three big characters of the Land Temple written above the gate, I would not have believed that this would be a place of underworld administration in charge of the land, water and population, because this land temple is too much like a dilapidated house that has been abandoned for a long time.
It is said that the land is the poorest of the gods, and only on the second day of the second lunar month every year does someone sacrifice incense to him.
It is said that the legend is that the land is the most loyal and honest, there is a legend that says that he often sees the three lepers eating fish and meat, and he can't even eat. Once, he asked the three lepers, "Why do you have fish and meat to eat every day?" I didn't even eat. ”
The three lepers said, "I have a hoop, put the hoop on my head, and the man will have a headache, and he will make something to eat for me." If you want to eat, I'll lend you this hoop. ”
The landlord borrowed the hoops of the three lepers, and the three lepers told him to tie the heads of those who rode horses and sat in sedan chairs. One day, when the landlord saw a man on horseback, he put a hoop on the horse's head, and the horse was immediately in terrible pain and ran forward with all his might. The landlord is so tired that he has nothing to eat. The landlord took off the hoop and told the three lepers that he had not been fed.
The three lepers said, "Don't be in a hoop to go, but not to go." ”
One day, when the land lord saw the human figure tied with straw, he thought it was a person who had not left, so he put the hoop on the head of the human figure tied with straw, and after a few days he did not get anything to eat, and when he came back, he told the three lepers truthfully.
The three lepers told him again, "You want to hoop people who can walk slowly." ”
One day, a beggar walked slowly on the road, and the land lord thought that he had seen it this time, so he put a hoop on the head of the beggar man, but who knew that the hoop was wrong again, and he did not get food. Originally, the beggar himself had no food to eat, so how could there be fish and meat for the land to eat! So the landlord returned the hoop to the three lepers.
The common people think that the land lord is very honest, and there is nothing to eat all year round, so they fry poached eggs on the second day of the second lunar month every year and give them to the land lord to eat, and set this day as the birthday of the land lord every year.
This couplet in front of the door of the land temple in front of him speaks of the hardships and poverty of the land lord, there are temples without monks, the wind sweeps the floor, and there are more incense candles and less moons to light the lamp.
I didn't dare to delay, and when I saw that I had come to the Land Temple, I walked into the temple.
As soon as I entered the land temple, I saw a long case above the temple, a pile of old books and pamphlets on the desk, and an old man sitting behind the desk.
The old man looked very old, a hundred and eighty years old, but he was in good spirits. With white hair and white beard, his wrinkled face gives people a kind kind attitude, but he is dressed like this land temple, very shabby, not a god at all, more like a beggar hiding in a broken temple.
When the land lord saw someone coming, he was very surprised, got up and asked me, why did you come here all your life?
I knew that this old man must be the land father, and I thought that there was also a yin spell in the Yin Yang Immortal Sutra, so I stepped forward and waved at him, and said, "Yin and Yang disciple Chen Ergou, passing by your land, I came to meet the land father." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be a disciple of Yin and Yang Xing." The land lord suddenly realized that the so-called yin and yang disciples also have a myriad of relationships with the underworld, and the previous yin and yang masters could pass the yin, and even help the yin in the underworld to do things and get people.
The land lord looked a little happy, maybe it was because it was rare for him to have someone here, so he smiled and said: "I really didn't expect you, a yin and yang disciple, to have this heart, and come to see me, an old man, but I don't have much to entertain you, how should this be good." As he spoke, he was a little embarrassed.
I hurriedly raised the wine and food in my hand and said, "Disciple is here, and I have sent it to share it with the land." ”
After speaking, I put the wine and food on his desk, and when the land lord saw that there was wine and food, he was immediately overjoyed, his eyes lit up, and he even changed his name to me, and said with a smile: "My brother really has a heart, it's rare!" ”
I smiled, looked at the time, and found that the time was coming soon, so I put the wine and food on the table, and said to the land lord: "The land lord is to ensure the peace of the party, and he works hard and does not complain, and the disciple is the people of this place, and it is also appropriate to send wine and food to honor your elders." ”
When the land lord heard this, he was very happy, I poured a glass of wine for him, and was about to clink glasses and drink it all, when suddenly the wind outside the temple was blowing, I looked outside the temple, and I didn't know when two people appeared at the door of the temple, and they were walking into the land temple......
