Chapter 60: Worship God Split
Liu Cheng started preparing before those paper men and paper horses came to me, obviously knowing about this in advance and preparing early. But the three of us hadn't found the slightest clue before, how did he know that a paper man would come and take him to the execution at night?
Liu Cheng said, "Wang Duangong dares to move the stone of this Taoist temple against the will of the land, there must be something to rely on, I asked the land to ask Wang Duangong, and Wang Duangong told the land that the Heavenly Master Zhong Kui asked him to do this." Unfortunately, I am quite familiar with Zhong Kui, and I will know that Zhong Kui said that he didn't know this Wang Duangong at all, and it happened that I found shredded paper crumbs in Santou Village, and I knew that they were going to do it, so I went down the mountain yesterday and asked them to help choose a cemetery to be a test, and sure enough, it came at night. ”
I thought that Liu Cheng had the ability to predict the unknown, and the co-authorship only knew about it through relationships.
After Huang Yunqiu finished asking, I asked again, "Who is Zhong Kui?" Is it bigger than the City God? ”
Huang Yunqiu answered my question instead of Liu Cheng and said, "It is equivalent to the ancient Qincha, wandering around to solve cases, and breaking cases wherever he goes, his status is higher than that of the Yin Si Palace." ”
In addition to Liu Cheng, Liu Rentong was the biggest official I had ever seen, and now another Zhong Kui came out, and he sighed that there were so many capable people below.
Because Liu Cheng now wants to pretend that he has been beheaded to death, naturally he can't swagger and appear, and it is not good to stay in this Taoist temple, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not come to the door to tempt, so he only explained these things to us, and told us to be careful next, and then left Qingshan Temple.
Knowing that Liu Cheng really didn't die, we all relaxed a lot, and then we still chanted and meditated, eating when it was time to eat, and sleeping when it was time to sleep.
Until the early morning of the next day, there was a crackling sound of firecrackers in Santou Village, we went to Qingshan to look down, and saw a lot of people gathered behind Wang Duan's house, gongs, drums and firecrackers, they were digging a nameless lonely grave behind Wang Duangong's house, not long after, the nameless lonely grave was dug up, and they carried out a dark coffin from it.
In the very center of the gathering of the three dragons, another group of villagers is digging a grave there.
I could see that they were going to carry the coffin in the nameless lonely grave to the place where the three dragons gathered for reburial.
"Shall we go down and have a look?" I asked Huang Yunqiu, now that Liu Cheng is not here, we can only listen to Huang Yunqiu's arrangement.
Huang Yunqiu shook his head and said, "In front of outsiders, you have to pretend that your master is dead, as soon as your master died, you ran to join in the fun, do you think that if they see it, they will be so relieved to move the coffin boldly?" ”
I think so, I couldn't help but watch the excitement, so I just stood outside the Qingshan Temple and waited.
The matter of moving the coffin has been busy for a long time, and it was not until the afternoon of the same day that the coffin was moved to the center of the gathering of the three dragons and buried, and the people in the village also dispersed.
We finished watching the whole process outside the Qingshan Temple before we were about to enter the Taoist Temple, but just as we were about to turn around, there was a woman in her forties at the bottom of the mountain carrying a basket on her back.
This woman had seen her in Santou Village before, she was the owner of a shop in Santou Village, and our daily necessities were bought in her shop, and this person was an ordinary person, and when we saw her coming up the mountain, we stopped and waited for her.
The woman looked at us at the door of the Taoist temple and smiled, and then said, "Today, Wang Duangong's relatives moved the grave, and Wang Duangong paid for everyone to buy things, so I will send them to you." ”
Rural people are used to it, and this temple was uninhabited before, they usually go up and down the mountain to be afraid that they are also resting in this temple, and without waiting for our consent, they carried the basket into the Taoist temple, carried the basket into the hall of incense and put it down, and then took out a scale from it, grabbed a small bag of flour and weighed it.
We watched silently, and the woman weighed three bags, handed them to us, and said, "There is not much left, Wang Duangong said that everyone can get half a catty, just one and a half catties for you guys." ”
Saying that, Huang Yunqiu reached out and took it, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully a few times, but didn't find anything wrong, so he took the three bags of flour, and then asked, "Why did he suddenly send us flour?" ”
The woman said, "It's a good thing to move the grave." ”
Moving the grave is indeed a happy event, and it is understandable to send us flour, Huang Yunqiu then asked, "Who is buried in the grave?" ”
The woman said, "His master, the one who taught him to walk in the yin, if it weren't for his master, he would have starved to death, and now that he has some spare money, it is time to move his master's grave and carve a monument." ”
Huang Yunqiu asked again, "Is it the person who gave the knife on credit?" ”
At the beginning, the credit knife man had been to every household, and this woman must have known it, whether he naturally knew it, but the woman shook her head after hearing it, "No, it's a Taoist priest, I used to live in your Taoist temple, and I had a good relationship with Wang Duangong, and then the Taoist temple was overthrown, and he stayed at Wang Duangong's house for a while when he had nowhere to go, and taught him some skills." ”
Because the killing technique in the dream is only Guiguzi, and it just so happens that the knife man on credit is also Guiguzi's, we always thought that the knife man was the mastermind behind the scenes, but now we know that it is not the knife man, and the previous judgment is all messed up.
But there is no common language with this woman, Huang Yunqiu just nodded, and then said thank you to this woman, this woman waved her hand and said that it was okay, and she was about to leave with a basket on her back.
However, when he was about to leave, he looked back at the idol in this temple and had the idea of worshipping this idol and bless his family.
Rural people believe in these, otherwise every household will not prepare a shrine, the Taoist temple is open to attract believers, we naturally can't stop her, Huang Yunqiu personally lit incense for the woman, the woman took the incense, walked to the statue with a basket on her back and knelt down.
It's just that as soon as she knelt down, before she had time to kowtow, the idol in the lobby suddenly cracked with a click, and the neck of the idol cracked, and her head fell directly to the ground and shattered, which frightened the woman and hurriedly stood up.
This is a rural area, and the Taoist statue is naturally impossible to build with gold, silver, copper and iron, it is made of yellow clay, but this statue has not cracked for so many years, and now it is kneeling by this woman, and the head of the idol is kneeling off.
We were also shocked, and Huang Yunqiu was even more shocked, so she hurriedly put the powder in her hand aside and said to me, "Go and bring a basin of water." ”
I immediately went to fetch a basin of water, and Huang Yunqiu put the water in front of the idol, and then said to the woman, "You put the scales in the basin." ”
The woman didn't explain, "If you put the scales in the water, they will definitely sink." She was afraid that we would blame her for worshipping the idol, so she explained, "I have been looking at this idol for too long, and it has been dry recently, so it cracked, and it has nothing to do with me." ”
Huang Yunqiu said, "You try it first." ”
We thought it would sink, but when the woman put it into the water, the scale floated up, and we were dumbfounded.
At the same time, a wild cat came in from nowhere, passed by the door of the lobby, glanced into the lobby, immediately stopped, and then imitated the appearance of a man, stood up to the woman, and arched his front two feet, just like a man worshipping a god, and bowed to the woman.
The woman was amazed, "This scale doesn't sink, why does this wild cat come to worship me?!" ”
Huang Yunqiu frowned and said, "Cats have nine lives, relying on many lives, they will never worship any living people, even the gods and Buddhas have disdain, there is only one possibility for cats to worship people, and that is begging for mercy." Huang Yunqiu said and looked at the woman, "Even the cat with nine lives begged you for mercy, who are you?" ”
The woman was stunned, "I'm just a farmer, don't talk nonsense." ”
"If a person's life is extremely noble, there will be a situation where the mountains are worshipped and the gods are broken, and water and fire cannot infringe on this kind of person, and naturally they can't swallow the scales of this kind of person." Huang Yunqiu said and looked this woman up and down, her face was full of puzzlement, this woman looked really too ordinary, she didn't look like an extremely noble person at all, if she was really so noble, why did she still stay in Santou Village for so many years.
Huang Yunqiu was puzzled, this woman didn't know what was going on.
Huang Yunqiu looked at it for a while, and asked about the woman's date of birth, Huang Yunqiu didn't know what to calculate with her year, month and day, but her face was still puzzled, and she muttered, "The bone weighs four or two, it is not a noble life, it shouldn't be." ”
As he spoke, he set his eyes on the basket that the woman was carrying, and hurriedly asked her to take out the remaining flour in the basket, and then weigh it with a scale, and the remaining flour was two, two, three.
Huang Yunqiu looked at the weight of the flour, and then asked the woman, "Are you menopausal?" ”
Asking such a personal question, the woman's face was full of embarrassment, but she couldn't help answering, nodded and said, "Absolutely." ”
Huang Yunqiu hummed, only said that this woman was blessed and there was no big problem, and let her go.
After waiting for the woman to leave, we stepped forward to ask Huang Yunqiu what was going on, and Huang Yunqiu said, "Someone used her to worship the statue, and the Taoist temple will not be able to protect us in the future, and demons and monsters can all enter and exit." ”
"Why can she worship the idol?"
Huang Yunqiu said, "Her own bone weight is four taels and seven, plus two taels of flour, a total of seven taels, and the bone weight of seven taels is the bone weight of Emperor Ziwei in ordinary people." In Taoism, it is a high-powered god bones, Taoism is divided into Qiankun, men are the main road, women are Kun Dao, the master of the dry road will cut the red dragon in the end, and the master of the Kun Dao will refine the blood, she just happened to be menopause, so this idol regarded her as the supreme Taoist immortal with a bone weight of seven taels, and naturally could not afford her worship. ”
