"Worship the mountain god" is the old rule of putting the mountain, according to the reason, the first day or two into the mountain is the need to worship the mountain god.

I have worshiped the mountain god today, and I can only enter the mountain tomorrow at the earliest, which is an iron-like discipline on Changbai Mountain, and no one dares to violate it.

Jiang Sen, the old leader, had already set up the earthen platform for worshipping the mountain god in advance, which was about a little smaller than the big earthen pot in the northern countryside, but a little higher, and on it were placed steamed buns, apples, peaches and a staple food that I can't name. In front is a small incense burner, and in the back hangs a picture of an old man.

It is said that the old man in the picture is the grandfather of the mountain god, he is actually the first generation of the old leader of the mountain, and later died on the mountain, and the heroic soul is not gone, and he has become a fairy who guards the mountain release of Changbai Mountain.

Old Jiang led us to stand in front of the earthen platform, then turned around, turned his back to the portrait of the mountain god's grandfather, took out several stacks of paper money from his pocket, and handed it to us. While handing us the paper money, he whispered: "Come on, come on, burn some paper for Grandpa Mountain God in a while, pretend that you bought these papers, and Grandpa Mountain God will bless you, remember, remember......"

I took the paper, but I felt funny in my heart: Lao Jiang respected the mountain god grandfather so much, but on the other hand, he made these small actions in front of the portrait of the mountain god grandfather, could it be that he felt that with his back to the portrait of the mountain god grandfather, the mountain god grandfather would not notice much of our cheating?

Sometimes faith is a strange thing, the lips are pious, but the behavior is often easy to deceive themselves, Lao Jiang is a living example.

After dividing the paper money, Lao Jiang took us to kneel down in front of the portrait of the mountain god's grandfather, and this old thing had words and shouted: "The old man of the mountain god!" Open your eyes to me! Wait until I get rich! Enshrine your mountain god and keep your head forever~~ Alas! ”

The so-called "opening eyes" in this sentence refers to helping the head of them to find the wild ginseng on the mountain, and the people before the mountain are released must shout like this, so that they can ask for good luck.

After going up the mountain, the first ginseng dug up is called "opening the eye", also called "the key to opening the mountain", which means that with the first one, it will be easier to dig up wild ginseng later, and the mountain is such a big treasure house, it is opened by this "key".

Lao Jiang shouted, we have to shout a sentence, we shouted three times, and Lao Jiang beckoned us to burn paper.

At first, a few of us thought this behavior was a bit strange, but after shouting a few times, we thought it was very fun to go through this experience, and I began to look forward to this "mountain" activity in my heart.

However, things are not entirely smooth.

In the process of burning the paper, something happened suddenly.

When we were about to finish burning the paper, the earthen platform in front of the old boss who was dedicated to the mountain god Grandpa suddenly made a loud noise, and then the earthen platform collapsed without warning, and directly rolled the tribute, incense burner, and even the portrait of the mountain god Grandpa on the platform to the center of the platform!

This accident came suddenly, and all of us held paper money in our hands, knelt on the ground and looked at the strange things in front of us, stunned, speechless, and no one could speak......

After a long time, the old cat stood up and asked Lao Jiang in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

At this time, Lao Jiang's whole face changed, and the originally ruddy strong man became like gold paper, and cold sweat poured down......

Lao Jiang gasped for a while, then looked up at the old cat, his lips moved, and asked in a deep voice: "Big brother, you also know that we have the rules of this industry, since I have been your leader, you can't hide anything from me, even if you are a murderer on the run, you have to tell me the truth about going up the mountain to kill people and throw corpses, you know?" ”

The old cat nodded lightly and said "yes".

The old man continued: "Big brother, the price you gave me is not low, I told you before, even if we are opened by the mountain god Grandpa, and we can dig up five or six grade of ginseng, your price may not be recouped...... Although my old man has lived in the deep mountains and old forests all his life, he has seen a lot of people, I am not stupid, I know that you are not here for ginseng, right? ”

The old cat smiled and didn't say anything.

Only then did I realize that the old cat invited the old man to go up the mountain, and did not tell him to understand our intentions, but only lied to people that we were here to dig ginseng.

In fact, the old cat's approach is also right, no matter what kind of leader, the most feared thing in his life is the gods in Changbai Mountain. And the white dragon that Hong Ming wants to hunt is the master of the spirits and monsters in Changbai Mountain, it is simply the incarnation of the mountain god, if they really know that we are here for the white dragon, eighty percent will not dare to lead the way for us.

I saw that the old cat and the old Jiang were talking to an impasse, so I hurriedly stepped forward, stood in front of the old Jiang, deliberately diverted the topic, pointed to the collapsed earthen platform on the ground and asked, "Boss, what does this mean?" ”

Old Jiang smiled bitterly and said, "What do you mean?" The meaning of this is obvious, that is, the mountain god Grandpa knows that you have ghosts in your hearts and does not want you to enter the mountain. ”

I was stunned when I heard this, and I couldn't help but be in awe.

It seems that this mountain god grandfather is really very effective, and even we know what we are thinking about when we enter the mountain, and it can be reflected from the earthen platform.

But think about it again, it was Hong Ming who went into the mountain to hunt the white dragon, we went into the mountain to protect the white dragon, if the mountain god grandfather really knew everything, he should know this, so he should bless us to enter the mountain.

So I smiled and said to Lao Jiang: "Boss, is it that you didn't have a stable platform, and you accidentally had an accident?" Grandpa Mountain God is so busy every day, where can he take care of our little things! Isn't it? ”

However, Lao Jiang is a stubborn temper, he seems to be sure that we must be plotting to plan something sorry for the mountain god grandfather, looking at the collapsed earthen platform on the ground, Lao Jiang shook his head and said: "I have been in the mountain all my life, and I know when I can enter the mountain and when I can't." I know Grandpa Yamagami's temperament best, so I know what it means for this earth platform to collapse......"

The old cat glanced up at Lao Jiang and asked, "Then you're not going to enter the mountain?" ”

Lao Jiang smiled lightly: "Big brother, to be honest, you give a lot of money, which makes me very worried, but we also have our rules, if you have a life to make money, it is not appropriate to spend money without a life...... So either you tell us what you're going in for, or we're going our separate ways. It's that simple. ”

An accident to worship the mountain god instantly made our situation tense.

If the old cat doesn't tell the old man the truth, then it seems that we will have to go up the mountain by ourselves.

A few of us didn't rush to tell Lao Jiang the truth, but discussed it with our own people. The old cat felt that even if he told Jiang Sen the truth, he might not take us up the mountain, but General Night felt that we had to try, because it was too difficult to find another leader for the time being......

After some discussion, everyone decided to vote.

As a result of the vote, except for the old cat who was unwilling to tell the truth, everyone else was willing to tell Lao Jiang the truth.

The old cat had no choice but to obey, and I stood up and said to Lao Jiang: "Since you want to know, we will tell you the truth, we are not looking for ginseng, but to find the white dragon." ”

"White Dragon?" Old Jiang turned pale with fright when he heard this, and said tremblingly, "You want to hunt the white dragon?" ”

I saw that Lao Jiang was frightened like this, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "It's not that we want to hunt the white dragon, but someone else is attacking the white dragon, we are all environmentalists, and we are here to protect the white dragon......

I'm not going to let Lao Jiang know who we are, so I'm just talking nonsense about being an "environmentalist". And although Lao Jiang didn't know whether we really wanted to protect the white dragon or hunt the white dragon, he understood that our activities were related to the white dragon.

This old gentleman must know some legends about the white dragon, so when he heard these two words, the whole person changed his state.

He said to the old cat with a trembling voice: "Big brother, if you had said earlier that you went up the mountain to find the white dragon, I wouldn't have dared to take over your business if you were killed...... Well, I'll give you the deposit back tomorrow, and if you're in a hurry, you can do it today...... Anyway, I don't dare to take you into the mountains, so please be smart! ”

As he spoke, Lao Jiang began to pack his luggage, while his nephew Jiang Yuan was beside him to help him...... For mobile phone users, please visit m.. Read
