After the old man Li finished speaking, I said in my heart that this is too coincidental, Liu Cheng only talked about the mountain temple not long ago, and now someone has mentioned the mountain temple.

Liu Cheng also felt that this was a bit of a coincidence, but he didn't say that we just found the mountain temple, he said, to observe the heart and stop talking, disaster comes out of the mouth, some words have to be buried in the heart can not be said, Liu Cheng answered the old man Li's question seriously, said, "There was indeed a mountain god before, the function of the mountain god is the same as the current land, the difference is that most of the mountain gods are held by some living and some feng shui occult people, but living people are too emotional, and many times it is easy to be swayed by personal emotions, so there have been a lot of demons and monsters during that time." By 1966, the establishment of the mountain god was abolished, and the mountain temple was replaced by the land temple, and the land was also held by the dead people in other places, and the system of one township and one land was implemented, because the land was transferred from other places, and there would not be too many personal feelings, so since then there have been many fewer demons and monsters. ”

I once heard the old people in the village say that there were indeed many demons and monsters in the vicinity during that time, such as hairy dogs, incarnatal children, and so on.

Old man Li listened quietly and did not interrupt, and when Liu Cheng finished speaking, Old Man Li suddenly said, "I remember, the mountain temple on the mountain behind our village was demolished in 1966." ”

Liu Cheng smiled, "So the woman you saw, even if she was a mountain god at the time, is not a mountain god now." ”

Old man Li nodded with relief, sighed and said, "I don't know if she's dead, and that female doll, it's a pity." ”

Liu Cheng didn't continue the topic of the Mountain Temple, but said to Old Man Li, "Can you show me the shoe you picked up?" ”

Old man Li naturally had no opinion, got up and went to the corner where he had piled up waste, and after rummaging for a while, he took out the broken shoe from a small sack, and handed it to Liu Cheng, when I saw the shoe, I was a little stunned, because the shoe was exactly the same as the one that killed my grandmother.

However, because Liu Cheng explained that he wanted to look at his heart and stop talking, although I saw it, I just buried it in my heart and didn't say it, Liu Cheng naturally saw it, took the shoes and looked at them a few times, and returned them to Old Man Li.

After Old Man Li asked these two questions, he got up and went to the stove house to cook.

During this period, some villagers should have seen me and Liu Cheng go to Old Man Li's house, put down the farm work on which they depended, and rushed to Old Man Li's house to meet Liu Cheng.

On weekdays, no one at Old Man Li's house wanted to come, but at this time, many people came, and after entering the house and sitting down, they chatted with Liu Cheng, first asking Liu Cheng's name, where he was from, how old he was and other simple questions.

I knew that they must have something to ask Liu Cheng for help, and sure enough, after chatting about these simple questions, they began to trouble Liu Cheng, either because the descendants were unlucky, or they had a sore back and leg pain, and they all came to ask Liu Cheng how to solve it.

For a while, almost half of the people in the village gathered at Old Man Li's house, and their respective problems overwhelmed Liu Chengying, and I couldn't look at it from the side, so I said, "Master is just a Taoist priest, not an immortal, and I have a sore back to see a doctor." ”

My tone full of complaints made the villagers laugh, but they didn't know me like a child, and after laughing, they continued to ask Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng's temper and patience are much better than mine, and he tries his best to answer so many questions from the people in the village, until the villagers have no more questions to ask, Liu Cheng turned around and asked them a question, "When the mountain temple was demolished, were you all present?" ”

The matter of the mountain temple is the most ungrateful thing that the people in the village have done, so I haven't heard them mention it for so many years, and now Liu Cheng asked, and they replied, "Actually, there are not many people who push the mountain temple, just Old Man Li and the two brothers Sun Wenjing and Sun Wensheng are present, and this thing is done by the three of them, but there is no way, the above documents, someone has to do it." ”

Chen Qiu nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "What do you think of the two brothers, Sun Wenjing and Sun Wensheng?" ”

When it comes to grandpa and grandpa, everyone in the village has something to say, you say a word to me, and in the end, it is the old man in the village who has a relatively high generation who gave an objective evaluation, saying, "Sun Wenjing is a mysterious person, and he doesn't like to talk to us much, and some of the things he does are not authentic." Sun Wensheng, he is a very good person, he has taught before, and we all love to greet each other when we see him, and he is more enthusiastic, and he wrote the etiquette books and couplets in this village. It's not that a family doesn't enter the door, but these two brothers are like the grandsons of the same grandfather. ”

Because in front of me, they said that my grandfather deliberately restrained a lot, and if I was here, maybe what came out of my mouth would be something like thunder and thunder.

Even if they relented, I was still not happy to hear it, so I said dissatisfiedly, "My grandfather only took care of those orphan girls and widows, and did not make peace with them, believe it or not." ”

The villagers laughed again, in their eyes, I was just a child, and they only treated me as a child, they didn't care what I said, they only believed what they guessed.

I'm afraid that grandpa has already seen through this, so for so many years, he rarely explained it to them, and let them chew the root of his tongue behind his back.

Talking about it at noon, Old Man Li made a meal, and the people in the village were very conscious of leaving, but they were left by Old Man Li, because it was rare for a Taoist priest to come to the village, and they also wanted to talk to Liu Cheng for a while, so they stayed on the spot.

Squeezed at a table at noon, during which Liu Cheng deliberately provoked various topics, chatted most of the time between meals, and rarely moved chopsticks.

Liu Cheng glanced at me after eating half of it, and I immediately understood, and while they were chatting and distracted, I replaced my empty bowl with Liu Cheng's bowl, so that no one would find out that Liu Cheng was not a living person and could not eat a living person's food.

After the meal, he stayed at Old Man Li's house for a while, and it wasn't until late in the evening that Liu Cheng got up and said, "If you are okay tonight, you can follow me to Sun Qing's house to have a look, and his house will have a lively scene tonight." ”

The favorite thing for the people in the village is to watch the excitement, and as soon as Liu Cheng said this, they immediately responded and didn't even go home, and went back to my house with us.

When we went back, the grandfather had already arrived at my house, and the grandfather and grandfather were a little unhappy when they saw that almost everyone in the village had come, but because they came with Liu Cheng, Liu Cheng didn't say anything, and the grandfather and grandfather naturally didn't say anything.

The eldest grandfather was the first to greet him and asked Liu Cheng, "Master Liu, you said that there will be results in the evening, but it's almost dark this day, is there a way?" ”

Liu Cheng looked at the eldest grandfather and smiled, didn't say the specific method, just beckoned the grandfather They demolished the shed that blocked the sun, and then turned to the people in the village and said, "After a person dies, someone will come to hook the soul when he has a child, and generally the matter of hooking the soul is the responsibility of the land temple, but I found that you have not only a land temple here, but also a mountain temple, so I will do the practice of summoning spirits in a while, and see whether the land temple is here to collect people or the mountain temple to collect people." If it is the land temple to collect people, it means that Sun Qing's father is collected by the land temple, and when the land lord comes, please intercede together and let the land master release Sun Qing's father. ”

The people in the village have never seen the land lord, although Liu Cheng is a Taoist priest, but the land lord is a fairy in the eyes of everyone, the village people only feel magical, and feel unbelievable, so they said, "Can the land master listen to us?" ”

Liu Cheng said, "The public is angry, the new official of the local land lord takes office, he does not dare to offend all of you, as long as you open your mouth to beg him together, the land lord may consider releasing people, and when the time comes, I will do a spell to borrow the corpse to return the soul, and Sun Qing and his father will be able to live for a few more years." ”

Grandpa, they also listened all the time, only heard Liu Cheng talk about the land temple, but didn't say anything about the mountain temple, so they asked Liu Cheng, "Master Liu, what if the mountain temple comes to collect people?" ”

Liu Cheng smiled slightly, stared at the grandfather and said, "The local mountain temple was toppled decades ago, and the mountain god doesn't know where to go, if the mountain temple comes to collect people, it means that someone has stolen the big seal of the mountain god, took the book of the mountain god, and is pretending to be the mountain god to harm people, as long as he dares to come, I dare to send him to the land temple to be tried." If he doesn't dare to come, Sun Qing and his father's soul land temple will not accept it, and the mountain temple will not accept it, I will have the right to do the spell of borrowing the corpse to return the soul. ”

Wang Duangong's means of walking in the shade, looking at feng shui, and choosing auspicious days are magical enough in the eyes of the villagers, and now Liu Cheng is even more talking about summoning spirits, borrowing corpses to return souls, and it is also related to the land temple mountain temple, and the people in the village feel even more incredible.

However, there were also older people who were suspicious, and the old people in the village immediately pulled me, grandpa, and grandpa to the side, and carried Liu Cheng behind his back and said, "This Taoist priest is young, and he runs the train with his mouth full, you have to keep an eye on it, be careful that he is here to cheat you out of money, and the dead man also involves the mountain god and the land, and it is too big to say." ”

After listening to this, Grandpa said with a cigarette gun in his mouth, "I believe in Master Liu." ”

The eldest grandfather also said, "Let's see." ”
