When I asked, it turned out to be the temple I saw last night!

"A few of you eat slowly, and I'm going to go over and burn a few sticks of incense for Fox Daxian." The boss smiled and nodded at us, turned around and walked out of the restaurant.

"Niuniu, let's go to the temple fair too." Xiao Tutu said, "I also want to burn a few sticks of incense for Fox Daxian." ”

"What are you burning incense for?" I took over the conversation and said with a smile, "Let Fox Daxian bless you to catch up with Ah Feng as soon as possible?" Oops, hit me again..."

"Niu Niu played well." Little Tutu pouted at me.

"Sister Xin, are you going?" Wei Niuniu asked.

Miss Bai thought for a moment and nodded.

"Then let's go together." Wei Niuniu said.

"Xiao Hei is with that fox, and I don't know how it is now..."Miss Bai whispered.

When Miss Bai mentioned this, I remembered the fox we rescued in Gaojia Village.

"Ah Feng, why don't we go to the temple fair first, put incense on the fox immortal, and then go to Uncle Yang." I said in my heart, maybe the fox fairy can bless us to find Uncle Yang as much as possible.

Xiang Feng thought for a while and said, "You can do whatever you say." ”

A group of five of us went out of the farmhouse restaurant, and met a lot of townspeople rushing to the temple fair along the way. Came to the Fox Daxian Temple, only to see a lot of people outside, rubbing shoulders, the temple was full of smoke, there were stalls one by one in the open space outside the temple, there were selling antique calligraphy and painting, there were selling incense, candles, incense and wax, and selling tobacco, wine, sugar and tea, selling rock sugar gourds, selling all kinds of local products, etc., it was simply a bazaar, in addition, there were jugglers, juggling, pulling the three strings, playing monkeys... It's dazzling, and the ears are filled with all kinds of sounds.

Each of us was very excited by this lively scene. I bought a handful of incense and gave it to the people, and then we went to the temple.

Compared with the bustle outside, the temple seems a little deserted. We followed the crowd to the largest temple house in the north. This room is for the fox fairy, in the middle is a statue of a fox head human body, wearing a woman's clothes, the offering table in front of the statue is full of fruits, there are two little foxes squatting next to the statue, in addition to several boys and girls, some hold trays, some carry clay lanterns.

Probably due to age, the pillars of the temple house were blackened with smoke and covered with cracks. In line with the principle of ladies first, it was the turn of the three girls to worship me and Xiangfeng. After bowing to the wind, I walked up to the statue and bowed three times, and when I looked up, the 'fox head' squinted at me in the smoke, and it seemed that it was also looking at me, and it felt like it was alive.

"Let's go, don't stay."

Miss Bai came over and patted me lightly on the shoulder, startling me a lot.

"What's wrong?" Miss Bai asked suspiciously.

I pointed to the statue and whispered, "Do you feel that the fox we rescued in Gaojia Village looks very similar to the fox in this statue?" ”

"Looks like that?" Miss Bai looked up at the fox, pinched me gently, and said, "Fool, don't all foxes look like this?" ”

"But..."

"Okay, don't be a fox, a fox, disrespectful to the gods, gone."

"Master Leng, why have you been worshipping for so long? I think it's almost as if you want Fox Daxian to bless you to soak in Xiaobai as soon as possible. ”

Coming outside, little Tutu said. I grimaced at her.

"Let's go and say goodbye in this room again." Wei Niuniu pointed to a temple house in the west and said.

This fox immortal temple is not only dedicated to fox immortals, for example, in this temple house in the west, it is dedicated to the lord of the land, fat and fat, and cute, and the temple house in the east is dedicated to a judge. The temple house to the south is dedicated to a green-faced and fanged god holding a fish in his hand. At first, I thought it was the God of Wealth, but when I looked closely, there was a big clay turtle under the feet of the statue.

"This should be the river god." Xiang Feng said.

Looking at the statue in front of me, I said to myself, could it be that thing in the reservoir that you are old? Xiao Leng will burn you a few more incense, please hurry up and take your caviar grandchildren back to the Yellow River...

After the prayer circle, it was already past the meal, and there were many more people in the temple than before.

"Then the three of us will go play." Coming out of the temple house, Wei Niuniu said.

"Hmm." I nodded.

"You and Ah Feng, you two pay attention to safety when you go to Uncle Yang." Miss Bai admonished again.

Xiao Tutu looked at Xiang Feng reluctantly, his lips moved a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, sighed, and followed the two of them outside.

"Little Tutu is good to you, why do you always ignore people?" I laughed.

Xiang Feng shook his head and stared at the roof of the temple house opposite.

"Let's go, go find Uncle Yang." I waved my hand.

Xiang Feng came back to his senses. The two of us had barely taken two steps towards the temple gate when we heard a cacophony outside.

"Let's go... Let's give it a look..."

Everyone got out of the way, and more than a dozen people walked in with paper figures and other paper objects in their hands, followed by the owner of the funeral supplies store.

"yes, just put it there..."

The boss instructed the men to place the paper neatly in the corner of the yard, and I stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"Fuck, what a bunny..."

The boss was startled, maybe he forgot to be in the temple, he opened his mouth and scolded, and after seeing that it was me, he forcibly held back the second half of the sentence.

"Leng, Leng, Master? How did you get here? …”

"Come and incense." I said with a smile.

After a pleasantry, the boss insisted on pulling me out to eat with Xiangfeng, I said that we had already eaten, and the boss said that we would go out and drink something. The fish I ate at the farmhouse was a little salty, I happened to be thirsty, and I said in my heart, I can drink something and then go to Uncle Yang, just enough to ask the boss about this temple, I always feel that the statue of the fox fairy is weird.

The boss took us to a stall outside the temple, ordered a fried snail, and ordered three bottles of beer.

"How is it, is my sister-in-law okay now?" Ate a few snails and drank a beer, I asked.

"Okay, it's okay, it's thanks to you, Master Leng..."

"Nothing." I smiled slightly, "Next time, remember, don't let my sister-in-law go to the reservoir again." ”

The boss nodded repeatedly.

"It's been a long time, and the paper figures I saw in your store yesterday were all tied to this temple." I said.

"Isn't it..."

The boss told me that every year during the temple fair, the town would pay for a lot of paper items in his shop. After the temple fair is over, the paper will be burned in the temple and sacrificed to the fox fair.

I nodded, "Big brother, I want to ask you something." ”

"Just open your mouth."

"Actually, it's nothing." I smiled, "I just think it's weird, anyway, wasn't your Qingshi Town a ferry on the Yellow River before?" ”

"Uh-huh." The boss nodded.

"Since it is the crossing of the Yellow River, then according to the words, the river god should be offered in the big house, why did the fox Daxian be offered in the big house, and the river god was offered in the hut to the south instead?"

The boss told me that he was an outsider who had only moved to the town in the 90s. He also hearded about this temple. The boss told us a legend he heard, it is said that in ancient times, the river god made chaos, and the Yellow River flooded year after year, and later when Dayu ruled the water, the river god was suppressed in the river in the area of Qingshi Town, and a nine-tailed fox was sent to guard the river god. It is strange to say, since history, no matter how big the flood season of the Yellow River is, Qingshi Town has not been flooded, people say that it is because of the blessing of the fox fairy, so a fox fairy temple was built. The north temple house is dedicated to the fox fairy, and the south temple house is dedicated to the river god. In this way, with the fox fairy guarding the river god, it will never cause chaos...

(Hearing this, I said in my heart, the north is the kan position, the five elements belong to the water, the south is out of position, the five elements belong to the fire, and the water overcomes the fire.

For thousands of years, the incense of this fox fairy temple has never been broken. And in Qingshi Town, there have been various legends about fox fairies. It is said that Pu Songling once went to Qingshi Town and included several legends and stories about fox fairies into "Strange Tales from Liaozhai"...

In the early days of the founding of New China, because of the elimination of feudal superstition, the incense of the Fox Immortal Temple was finally broken, and the temple was overgrown with wild grass and a mess. Later, the Cultural Revolution broke the four olds, and the statues in the temple were destroyed by the Red Guards and thrown into the Yellow River. On this day, in order to show their firm revolutionary position of proletarian atheism, several radical people ran to pee in the fox fairy temple, and now there is a dead fox lying in the temple house. Somehow, they dragged the dead fox to the temple and buried him under a tree. Within a few days, several people died, as if they had been scared to death by something.

The townspeople panicked, thinking that the dead fox might be a fox fairy, because the statue had been destroyed and was so angry that it was alive (the imagination of the townspeople is really boundless). For a time, many people ignored the pressure of the policy and ran to the place where the fox was buried to burn incense and worship, but nothing happened again. After the reform and opening up, the town paid to rebuild the fox fairy temple, and the person in charge suddenly thought that the head of the dead fox was dug out from under the tree and molded on the body of the fox fairy statue...

"You mean, the head of the fox fairy statue is a real fox head?" I asked.

"Well, what a fox head." The boss said.

I said to myself, no wonder I think the fox head is weird.

As we pondered, suddenly, a familiar figure walked past our table. I took a closer look, and it turned out to be the tall father Gao Laosan. The old man carried a roll of straw paper, hunched over, and staggered into the fox fairy temple.

I couldn't close my mouth for a while, it was indeed the third high, I was not mistaken, but he... How did he get here from across the Yellow River? …

(Last night, it may be that I made a mistake, and the setting is not allowed to allow readers to reply, so I apologize to everyone)
