Chapter 138: Great Sage, Please

From Xi'an to Taiyuan. It takes more than a dozen hours. We were safe and smooth along the way. But I didn't like it very much.

I hope something happens, the train is delayed, the car runs out of gas, I can't get a taxi, I get lost, and I even hit the wall in a ghost. I went to school in Taiyuan for four years, and I have never been so afraid of the city as I am today. I hope to go back later. Just like in the exam back then, knowing that he couldn't do this question, he still wanted to give five more minutes, not to solve the question, but to linger for a while before the bell rang for death.

However, all my expectations were disappointed. Fate escaped all the accidents I imagined. We arrived in Taiyuan smoothly and arrived at the Dasheng Temple.

This temple is only me and Wushuang who have been there. Fat, thin, and Wen Yu followed us like tourists, looking left and right.

I haven't seen it for a month, and the river in front of the Dasheng Temple is still so smelly. We were a group of five, each covering our noses, and walked over slowly.

We crossed the stinky river, and we were already close to the time of the Great Sage Temple. The fat man suddenly said nervously: "Brother, I'm a little scared." "

The thin man asked casually, "What are you afraid of?" "

The fat man pointed to the front and said, "There are ghosts." "

The thin man was furious, kicked over, and scolded: "We are ghosts, and we specialize in catching ghosts." You tell me you're afraid of ghosts? How will you do business in the future? "

The fat man looked aggrieved: "Brother, we are both wanted, how can we do business?" "

The thin man was furious: ", can't wanted criminals do business?" "

The thin and the fat are entangled on the sidelines. And I looked in the direction that the fat man was pointing at just now. Something was wrong there.

I saw a lot of small red dots, faintly, and black shadows. They gather around the Great Temple. It's moving slowly, and it looks like it's going around in circles.

I was a little scared and scared.

I grabbed Wushuang, who was still walking forward: "Don't go, don't you see, is something wrong ahead?" "

Wushuang glanced back at me, then pointed to the figures in front of him, "You mean those?" "

I nodded, "Those dark shadows may be unjust souls. This great temple is not peaceful. "

Wushuang gave me a strange look, snorted, and smiled: "Xu You, are you stupid in school?" "

I was a little annoyed in my heart. As we all know, it is not easy for us college students to find a job. The most hated thing is that others say that we are stupid in school, and it is better to drop out of school and work.

So I asked viciously, "What do you say?" "

Wushuang didn't care about the change in my tone at all, pointed to the figure in front of him and said, "That's a group of old ladies, living people, how can there be any grievances." "

When I heard this, I looked forward with all my might, but I still couldn't see clearly. I sighed: "Maybe it's because I have been studying for more than ten years, and my eyes are a little bad." "

I followed Wushuang vigilantly and slowly walked towards the Great Holy Temple. As the distance got closer, I could see clearly that the group of people in front of me was indeed an old lady. However, the fear in my heart did not go away, because these old ladies were a little abnormal.

They were all dressed in old-fashioned button-up clothes, which no one wore at all. So, these old ladies give the impression of jumping out of the coffin board.

Most of them have gray hair, and their faces are sallow, illuminated by the street lamps from afar.

Wushuang and I stood still from afar, looking at these old ladies, their hands stretched out in front of their chests, holding a stick of incense like a minister of the court holding a wat board. Then, their demeanors were extremely respectful, and they slowly circled around the Great Holy Temple.

Wushuang was also a little puzzled, and couldn't help but ask me: "Xu You, do you know what these people are doing?" "

I whispered, "Wushuang, you have been lying in the coffin for a long time, and you may not understand the customs of the countryside. I remember when I was a child, watching the excitement and following the funeral procession to watch people cry and mourn. After the coffin is put into the ground and the grave is erected. The women had to circle around the grave. It's called a round grave. It's pretty much the same as the behavior of these old ladies today. "

Wushuang looked at me in surprise: "You mean that someone died in the Great Holy Temple?" It can't be the abbot. "

I shook my head: "I don't know what to do yet, let's be careful." Let's go in and see. There is something wrong with these old ladies, and it is better not to alarm them. "

Wushuang agreed, but she said, "I don't feel any ghosts in these people. At most, it's not mentally normal, don't worry. "

The two of us were discussing, when we suddenly heard the fat man behind him cry out in a panic: "Oh, mom, it's terrible, brother, let's run away quickly, the people from the underworld are chasing after us." "

His voice frightened me and I clutched my chest, and I turned around and said, "Where are they?" See us? Hide. "

When I turned around, I saw that the thin man was pale, his hands and feet were trembling, and it seemed that he was terrified.

Wushuang casually pulled out the peachwood sword and asked the fat man, "What about them?" Where is it? Wen Yu, how long can you hold on? "

Wen Yu said: "If there is only one ghost, it can be delayed for half an hour." Fatty, how many do you see? "

The fat man trembled and said, "I don't see anyone." "

I was a little angry: "You don't see anyone, what are you talking about here?" "

The fat man trembled and pointed to the wall: "But I see that they warned us." You see, there is a big red letter on the wall, which says "Chop", isn't this to kill us? Oh my God, they had expected us to come to the Great Temple. "

I looked back in confusion, and sure enough, I saw a big red letter circled on the wall of the Great Holy Temple. But I looked at it twice, turned around sharply, and kicked the fat man: "Paralyzed, you scared Lao Tzu to death." Is that chopping? That's demolition. "

After beating the fat man, I suddenly realized something. The Great Holy Temple is about to be demolished.

The five of us calmed down and slowly walked towards the temple gate.

At this time, an old lady suddenly broke away from the circle and said to me in a hoarse voice, "Don't go in." "

I was startled and asked her, "Why don't you let us in?" "

The old lady's expression became respectful and mysterious: "We are asking the Great Sage." If you break the rules, the gods will blame you, and you will be guilty. "

After saying this, she ignored me again. Rejoined the team, and spun round and round.

At this time, these old ladies are close. As they walked past me, I could hear them chanting syllables at a blistering pace.

After two or three minutes, the originally neat line suddenly dispersed. The old ladies held incense in their hands and walked in all directions.

We looked at them with some confusion. I don't understand these weird behaviors at all.

The old lady I had been talking to was halfway down the road when she suddenly turned around and waved at me.

I looked at her for some reason, and then followed in confusion.

It's already a suburb. The old lady walked quickly on her little feet, walked to a courtyard, went to the main house, and then inserted incense into an incense burner.

When she was done, she turned on the light. The room was bright.

I took a look and noticed that there was a clay Buddha statue in front of the incense burner just now. To be honest, the workmanship of this Buddha statue is very bad. It took me a long time to identify it, and then I realized that it was modeled after the statue in the Great Temple. It's just a few size smaller.

After the old lady put the incense on, her whole person suddenly became normal, and she looked at me kindly and asked, "Is your name Xu You?" "

I wondered in my heart and asked, "Do you know me?" "

The old lady said, "I don't know you, but the abbot master of the Great Holy Temple knows you." He told me as he was leaving that one day you might come back to him. You also said that you look stupid, but you are with a very beautiful girl. Just now I was asking the Great Sage, but I didn't recognize you, but when I finished the invitation, I suddenly remembered that you might be Xu You, so I asked you to come and sit at home. "

When Wushuang heard this, he laughed, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Abbot, this person, Ha Luha, is really good at speaking. "

I ignored Wushuang's jokes, and I asked the old lady, "You just said that when the abbot was leaving?" Is he already gone? "

The old lady nodded: "Yes, the Great Holy Temple is going to be demolished." said that it was going to build a community. Hey, we old people have been incense in the Dasheng Temple for decades, but we are old, and no one listens to what we say, so we stopped it several times, but we never stopped it. The abbot had no place to live, so he had to leave. "

I asked the old lady, "Do you know where he went?" "

The old lady shook her head: "I don't know what to do." "

I was a little lost for a moment. Then I scratched my head and said, "He told you that one day I would come to him." Did he say anything else? "

The old lady seemed confused: "Something else? It seems to have been said, but I don't remember clearly, you let me think about it, I remembered, he said that if you want to find him, you will go to the Great Sage Village and wait for him. "

I grinned, "The Great Holy Temple? Dasheng Village? Why are they all called great sages? Is there any connection here? "

The old lady smiled proudly: "If you ask young people this, they will definitely not know what to say, you have met me, and I can tell you one, two, three." "

I hurriedly asked respectfully, "You said." What's going on in Dasheng Village? "

The old lady said, "Dasheng Village is twenty miles south of our village. This village is not small. It's no different from an ordinary village. However, there is one thing that is very special, that is, all the hosts of the Great Sage Temple in the world are from the Great Sage Village. "

I was even more curious: "What is this for?" "

The old lady said: "Because the ancestors in this village once followed Tang Seng to the west to learn scriptures. He led the horse to his old man. So he's"

I couldn't help but correct the old lady: "What you said is Journey to the West, how can mythological stories be taken seriously?" "

The old lady looked unhappy: "Are you old and confused?" Can't tell the difference between storytelling and truth? I'm telling you, what I'm saying is true. "
