Chapter 4: Da Jia asks for a son
Spring goes and autumn comes.
The small, dilapidated shrines of yesteryear are far from yesterday.
The weeds are removed, the mud and dust are far away, the exquisite white stone is paved, the green and green tiles cover the roof, the shrine is washed with thin water, making it bright and bright, and the statue of the god is carved and chiseled, and the image has also changed from the original old appearance to a handsome boy in white clothes, which is forged by the people according to the image of Mo Ling in a dream.
And at Mo Ling's feet, there is also a soft and cute virgin in a neon dress, needless to say, it is Mo Li.
In six months, Mo Ling finally recaptured the incense worship of the ten miles and eight towns, and now the incense has not been cut off day by day, and people with wishes from all over the world have gathered, and at the same time, they have become more and more pious because of the extremely high rate of effectiveness, and the incense provided by the more devout believers has become more and more intense.
It wasn't until it was about to fall that the crowd slowly dispersed, Mo Li's face was full of excitement and hard writing, from which book, it seemed that it was full of petitions, Mo Li was like a small money fan who collected debts, starry eyes looked at these petitions, and then estimated how much incense these things could earn, the more he calculated, the stronger the smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Mo Li, don't go and prepare food quickly, your master is hungry!"
Mo Ling leaned on the top of the green tile, holding the Fengshenlu and looking at the white pages, I don't know if I can see a flower, Mo Li heard Mo Ling's urging, hurriedly put down the pen and paper in his hand, and turned around with a bright face:
"Eh, Mo Li is going to prepare a meal, Childe waits. ”
Of course, Mo Ling no longer needs to be fed, but Mo Ling really can't refuse the temptation of food, he still has a dinner every day, and these meals are not all for himself, but also for the benefit of his subordinates.
The dining utensils are the tributes sent to the worshippers, the food is extremely exquisite, and it also eliminates the trouble of cooking, Mo Li has already been promoted to the eight-grade yin god, has a formal virgin identity, and can also use some lowly spells, the two tables of meals are quickly prepared, these tributes are not physical objects, but the incense and piety attached to them.
But it also retains the deliciousness of the food itself, and the meal is quickly arranged, and Mo Li runs to his small table and chair to be a fan of wealth, dancing quickly with his little hands, and smiling at the corners of his eyebrows.
"Why hasn't this black water come yet?"
Seeing that the meal was arranged, Mo Ling turned over lazily and muttered slightly dissatisfied, but Mo Li instantly turned his head to look at Mo Ling:
"Childe, if you don't eat first, my eldest brother and they may be late, it will be dark this day, and they must still be on the way. ”
As soon as Mo Li finished speaking, a group of black shadows in the distance rushed to the front without stopping, this group of black shadows stopped far away and did not dare to approach, just silently bowed their heads and waited, but Mo Li stood up and ran out for the first time, and quickly erased the evil talisman recorded on the tree with his small hand.
"Big brother, come in, there are a lot of petitioners today, you are going to be busy all night!"
This group of black shadows is the black water and the little ghosts of the Sui River, and now there are a lot of petitions, and it is far from enough to rely on Mo Li and the black water, so Mo Ling chose five little ghosts with their own strengths to do things, and after erasing the evil talisman, Heishui took the five ghosts to approach the shrine:
"Little ghost Heishui/Zhang Yuanbo/Liu Yuanda/Zhao Gongming/Zhong Shigui/Shi Wenye, meet Lord Yin God. ”
I saw the six ghosts standing in front of Mo Ling, in addition to the tall black water, there were five ghosts, these five ghosts were not nameless wild ghosts, but boatmen who ran river transportation in the Sui River all the year round, and drowned in the water one after another.
Mo Ling saw that they were familiar with the local environment and were good at running errands, so he hired them and offered them five incense burns per month and a night's food every day.
Seeing that the personnel had arrived, Mo Ling floated down the shrine:
"Now that everyone is here, let's eat, and finish the petition as soon as possible after eating. ”
The people who got the order immediately sat down, wrapped in a large piece of food, and kept laughing loudly, two tables of food, one table under the shrine, one table in front of the shrine, Mo Ling and Mo Li a table, these meals have no effect on Mo Ling, and they have little effect on Mo Li, but for the six little ghosts such as Heishui, it is a rare tonic.
A meal was a mess of cups and plates, Mo Ling glanced at the six ghosts who were full of wine and food where they received their respective tasks in Mo Li, and he slowly walked around the shrine, every time he passed a specific big tree, Mo Ling would wave his hand casually, and an evil charm was carved on it, exuding dazzling light in the dark night.
In the past half a year, Mo Ling has already memorized the three techniques, and he has never slackened in practicing day and night, and reproducing the divine urn after dinner is one of the daily activities, the six ghosts of the black water in the distance, Gu has completed the task, and they are busy, Mo Ling thought that it was another day, and he went back to the shrine with a trace of melancholy, ready to study the Fengshen Lu again, and see if there is any way to promote himself to the god of the nine grades.
But at this moment, Mo Ling suddenly looked up into the distance, and a group of figures with torches and lanterns came from the road.
...
Li Dazhi, who is seventy years old, is the largest landlord in these ten miles and eight townships, and he is one of the best in the entire Shu County.
"Hurry, hurry, you all hurry!"
Master Li sat on the bumpy sedan chair, lifted the curtains, and anxiously urged the entourage, six strong men carrying the sedan chair ran with sweat on their backs, their legs were weak, but they couldn't stand the urging of their master, and kept speeding up.
The old housekeeper held a lantern and trotted all the way to the left and right, bent his waist, constantly panting, his right hand raised a loose long sleeve and kept wiping the sweat on his forehead, five or six guards before and after, the housekeeper replied to Master Li last time:
"Don't worry, sir, there is the White God Shrine in front of you, and you can reach it in a few moments at most. ”
"Oh! Your lord and I are going to die, can you not be in a hurry?"
Reprimanded the housekeeper Li Lao Fu and sat back in the sedan chair, but there was more than one person in the sedan chair, and there was an old Taoist priest in green clothes at the closing of the closing ceremony.
"Zhao Shenxian, are you saying that this white god is reliable?"
Master Li's face was full of anxiety, and the Taoist priest opened his eyes with a slight sigh, not in a hurry to answer, first made a salute, and then said slowly:
"This white god has also risen in recent years, and I heard that it is very effective, if this is the case, there must still be some Taoism, then invite this god home, and I will protect my wife and the young son in the womb. ”
"What kind of lady do I care, I only need the child in her belly, I am already seventy, if this child is gone, my Li family will really be the last!"
Mo Ling, who was sitting in the sedan chair, listened to the conversation between the two in front of him, it seemed that he was begging for a son again, although he had never done it, but it would not be too difficult to think about it, Mo Ling was not too worried, but the pomp of this person seeking a child was not small, if it could be well encircled, it would be far more rewarding than those villagers and small landlords, and even building a temple was not impossible!
Maybe the opportunity for him to break through the earth god is in it.
Master Li's sedan chair arrived in front of the shrine, the palanquin drivers were almost paralyzed lying on the ground panting, but the housekeeper continued to support his master and walked towards the shrine, Mo Li sat on his own chair with pen and ink and was ready, Mo Ling also returned to the statue, waiting for Li Dazhi to say his wishes.
But this said that it didn't matter, but it made Mo Ling frown!
It turns out that what Master Li is asking for is not as simple as asking for a son...
Master Li worked hard all his life to get this great business, but he married more than 20 wives, but he never dropped a son, until he was nearly 70 years old and almost desperate, he was old and had a son, and the ecstatic Lord Li was naturally a guest at the banquet, and he was obedient to his wife, and even divorced three wives who couldn't see it, but he didn't know who he provoked, this lady seemed to be cursed and his blood was weak, and this weak blood was easy to do.
But there is one thing that is difficult for Master Li, that is, Mrs. Lian said: Hell!
Frightened, Mrs. fetal gas was in a big mess, and even saw several famous doctors who said that there was no cure for this disease, although some fetal medicine was prescribed, but it was not a long-term solution, and many Taoist monks were invited before and after, and even the lamas of the Western Regions came to practice to no avail, until they finally met the Taoist priest in front of them to point out the reason.
Mrs. is not weak in qi and blood, but these three human fires have been cursed and extinguished by two people, and only one is not enough to protect itself, not to mention the protection of the fetus, coupled with the great business of Master Li's family, the number of people who want to reincarnate is countless, and now there is no human fire to protect the body, and even many evil ghosts and powerful ghosts have the possibility of grabbing the fetus, so this is just wandering around every day waiting for the moment of production.
And without the human fire protection, Mrs. was naturally able to see these ghosts every day, and this was the follow-up.
Mo Ling, who understood the cause and effect, knew that this matter was not easy to handle, but that Master Li also came prepared, not to mention the thick incense all over the ground, melons and fruits, and even directly made a wish to build temples and canonize for Mo Ling, the first two Mo Ling had long since ceased to be moved, but the latter two made Mo Ling's heart and liver thump.
After saying the situation, Master Li left in a sedan chair again, watching the group gradually move away, but Mo Ling gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
"If you do it, you will be rich and expensive with a vote, and you will only be able to protect the fetus, and you can drive away those evil ghosts and ghosts, and there should be no big problem! After doing this vote, you will be able to get the temple canonized, not to mention anything else, a land must always be there. ”
Mo Ling's breathing was slightly heavy, and Mo Li looked at the things in front of him with a puzzled expression, I don't know how much incense can be obtained from this kind of thing?
