XIII. The Legend of the Three Saints
I clipped the proprietress with a chicken leg and said, "What does that monster look like, tell us." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info We can't go to the monster to ventilate the news, can we?"
The proprietress laughed dryly twice and stopped it no longer, as if he had received a holy decree, Boss Guan tore off a piece of chicken and stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it heavily, saying vaguely, "What kind of monster we haven't seen before." It's just that this man who went into the mountains to hunt came out and said it. Just a few days ago, two more hunters went into the mountain and never came out, and when the others found the body, the man had maggots on his body. ”
When a few of us heard the maggots, they naturally thought of Congjia's ancestral grave, and I wondered if it was the zongzi there who came here to make trouble, and we moved here first to stop us from entering the mountain.
"Brother Guan, when did that monster appear. Jiang is still old and spicy, although the old man asked tepidly, it was like a curious monster casually asked, but he also asked on point. If the monsters in this mountain have been around for a long time and are very ferocious, it is estimated that there will not be so many hunters here, and there will not be so many adventure lovers running around, and this small inn of Boss Guan has already closed its doors.
Boss Guan glanced at the proprietress with a thoughtful look, and the proprietress took over the conversation and said, "It was more than a month ago, I can't remember exactly what day, the first one to have an accident was Brother Wang next door to me, just a day's work, and the corpse brought back can no longer see the appearance." The mouth and nostrils were full of maggots, and the town didn't enter, so it burned hastily outside. ”
Brother Qiang asked why he didn't get close to the crematorium, and Boss Guan pouted, "The people in the crematorium are also afraid of maggots, so they carried the corpse to the car, and before they arrived at the place, it is estimated that they will have to let the maggots arch." ”
Boss Guan glanced at the pheasant, probably thinking that it was unappetizing to say these things during the meal, so he picked up his wine glass and touched it with the old man, "Come on, brother." Let's not talk about this during the meal, or we won't be able to drink this wine. ”
The old man asked what the monster looked like, and said that the boss had not said the point for a long time.
Boss Guan drank the wine dry in one gulp, his nose was a little red, and he felt that his tongue was much bigger than before" I heard Orion say that this monster is the same as a human, but it is covered with white hair. ”
I glanced at the pheasant in front of me, and the three of us hadn't moved our chopsticks yet, so I asked Boss Guan and his wife to clip it. I felt disgusted to watch them smack their chopsticks fiercely, and then put them into the small basin to pick the pheasant to eat. glanced at Brother Qiang and the old man, it seems that these two people have already made up their minds not to eat a bite, and they don't even look at the pheasant.
Brother Qiang put his mouth to my ear and whispered, "I still think you can eat these chickens, you don't know what kind of oil this guy uses." There was something floating in the oil, and it felt like a few bubbles of urine were hiding a poop. ”
I frowned and poked at him, this strong brother is really bad to the bone, they don't plan to eat it themselves, but they want me to taste whether it is poisonous or not. Fortunately, I'm a more civilized person, and I don't do it first if others don't move the chopsticks, otherwise I won't be allowed to spit it out after eating.
After listening to Boss Guan's words, the old man looked thoughtful in his clothes, and asked Boss Guan with a curious smile, "Could it be that these hunters have offended the mountain god, I have heard many stories, and when the mountain god is angry, he will let people die on the mountain." ”
The typical words of the old man are to bring the boss into the ditch and ask him to tell us the story of the mountains. I thought to myself that a fool would fall into such a stupid trap, but I didn't expect Boss Guan to stare at us with stunned eyes and say, "The mountain god here is the birthday star, how can people live a short life." Boss Guan turned around, pointed to a high mountain deep in the mountains outside the house, and said, "Do you know what that mountain is called?"
Seeing me, he shook his head in confusion, Boss Guan seemed to be encouraged, and his voice was much louder, "That's the Three Holy Mountains." Hehe, these three holy mountains are amazing, legend has it that this mountain has three mountain gods, all of them are amazing. ”
When Boss Guan said this, he began to eat chicken and drink wine again, deliberately hanging our emotions, and seeing that we were all looking at him, he wiped the grease on his mouth with satisfaction, and then said, "The three mountain gods of the Three Holy Mountains are all famous people. The first one is the birthday star, and the birthplace of the birthday star is western Sichuan. The more Boss Guan spoke, the more excited he became, and he almost regarded himself as a relative of the birthday star, and pointed to his feet with a mouthful, "I am a native of western Sichuan." ”
The proprietress sitting next to me pecked the chicken in her mouth. I got goosebumps when I heard this, and I leaned back in my seat and asked Boss Guan, "What about the second mountain god?"
Boss Guan cleared his throat, slowly took out a small bottle, and rolled up the cigarette. Brother Qiang handed over a cigarette, Boss Guan looked at the brand first, and then lit it with satisfaction, "This second one also has a great background, guess who it is?"
I almost want to go up and slap him on both ears, and I really want to ask him?
It's still an old man who can endure it, and he asked with a smile who it is. Boss Guan took a big puff of cigarette and spit out a smoke ring with great enjoyment, "This second mountain god is Xu Fu." Xu Fu, you know, right? It's the one who found the elixir for Qin Shi Huang. He is also Yo from the west of Sichuan. ”
Boss Guan laughed, it seemed that he was a little drunk, and when he spoke, the mouth was like a stick, which could no longer be bent, and with a strong western Sichuan accent, I had to listen carefully to barely understand what he meant.
"Legend has it that Xu Fu received the will of Qin Shi Huang back then, asking him to find the elixir of life, but Xu Fu was originally half an immortal, how could he listen to Qin Shi Huang's arrangement. He told Qin Shi Huang that he needed three hundred boys and three hundred virgins, and Qin Shi Huang gave him so many men and only obeyed his orders. Boss Guan suddenly burst out laughing, and the sudden wild laughter startled me, "Xu Fushan God brought all these boys and girls to the west of Sichuan and made a dojo in Sansheng Mountain, and later those boys and girls became Xu Fu's disciples. Many of today's people in western Sichuan are also descendants of those boys and girls. ”
"Xu Fu?" I felt ridiculous when I heard this story, the story of Xu Fu's Dongdu has been legendary for more than 2,000 years, and it would not have been spread so widely without electricity, and the legend is that the Wa Kingdom is the descendants of those boys and girls, and when I arrived in western Sichuan, I heard such a bizarre version. I just listened to the story, Brother Qiang laughed on the side, only the old man looked clear, and seemed to have thought of something.
Boss Guan shoved the vegetables into his mouth, and the proprietress on the side directly picked up the pot of pheasants and drank the soup. I was sick to my stomach for a while, and I didn't plan to eat it, but this kind of eating is really rare.
This time, there is no need for us to urge, Boss Guan continued, "This third mountain god is actually the biggest mountain god, and he is the eldest of the three mountain gods. His name has a longer history, he is the Great Demon God of Chiyou. ”
As soon as I heard Chiyou, I straightened up and asked how it could be Chiyou. Didn't Chi You die in battle with the Yellow Emperor?
Boss Guan firmly believed in the local legends, scoffed at the textbooks, pointed at me with chopsticks in his hand, and said, "You little doll has read too many books, and some things are either written in the book or what's going on." ”
Boss Guan coughed loudly, twisted his head and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, I listened to the sound and was also sick to my stomach, Boss Guan rubbed his head and nose and put the chopsticks on the table with a snap, "Chiyou was defeated, but he didn't die." He was exiled to a barren land, which is now western Sichuan. He took his retinue and re-established his homeland here. ”
The old man laughed twice: "Didn't you say that Chiyou is the ancestor of the Miao people?
I know that the old man deliberately pretended to be very ignorant, and he didn't talk about the Miao people, but he said the Miao people. Unexpectedly, Boss Guan was stunned when he heard this, and he was stunned for a long time before he said, "It is true that there are three Miao left in Jiuli in the end, and there are many Miao people in western Sichuan." ”
Boss Guan was drunk, and his words were a little incoherent, but the proprietress on the side put down the clean pheasant soup at this time and turned at Boss Guan's face. Stretched out his hand and grabbed Boss Guan's ear, "Let you drink less, you just don't stop, look at the smell of alcohol in your body, hurry up and wash me and go to sleep." ”
Boss Guan smiled awkwardly, and seemed to understand why the boss lady suddenly broke out, didn't she agree with him to drink before.
The proprietress simply cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, politely said a few apologies to us, and suggested that we go to bed early.
I walked into the room rubbing my stomach that had not eaten the grains of rice, and my stomach was a little sour when I smelled the unpleasant musty smell. It's more intimate to sign one, and handed over a pack of compressed biscuits, "Just he cooks that meal, I just starve to death and don't want to eat a bite, you didn't go to his stove to see, it is estimated that you don't need to buy oil for a year, dig it on the wall with a spoon when you need it, and a meal will be made up." ”
The old man asked me, "What do you think?" and I nibbled on a compressed biscuit and asked him back, "What is it?" Mountain God? Don't you think he's talking nonsense? Or is it a monster, a white-haired monster, it sounds like a legendary savage. ”
The old man waved his hand, "You didn't hear his words in your heart." The old man snapped his fingers and said, "First, the monster he said is white-haired. He is nothing more than hearsay, since he is said to be a monster, and he is said to be in the form of a man. You say it can't be that person, or the same existence as those people in the ancestral tomb of the Cong family?"
I put the compressed cookies aside and thought about it over and over again. However, this inference of the old man is a bit arbitrary, after all, we haven't seen anything, and Boss Guan also categorically said that it is white hair. There is an essential difference between white hair and white clothing.
The old man stretched out a finger again, "Second, the way he said that those people died, and what they looked like after death, is exactly the same as what we saw in the ancestral grave of the family. ”
"Third, the three mountain gods he mentioned, the first is the birthday star, after all, this is a legendary thing, and it is not good to say what era to label that person as a birthday star. The second one is Xu Fu, which is a little suspicious. Xu Fu's eastward crossing has historical research, but in the end, Xu Fu disappeared from the sight of King Qin, whether he really ran into the mountains of western Sichuan, this is completely possible. ”
