Chapter 4: The Land Dreams
"Anomalous?"
The Sixth Lady frowned in contemplation, but finally shook her head.
"Dong'er, the concubine has been taking care of her, and she is inseparable."
"I haven't encountered anything unusual lately."
"Nothing out of the ordinary?" Monk Xinguang heard this and said in a deep voice.
"Think about it again, what strange places have you been to recently, or what strangers have you met?"
As soon as these words came out, the sixth lady didn't react, but the little maid next to her brightened up.
"Madam, could it have something to do with the Land Temple in the east of town?"
"Land Temple?"
The sixth lady was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then suddenly realized.
"Oh, when you say this, the concubine body just remembers!"
"Half a month ago, the concubine took Dong'er to the temple to offer incense."
"Sir, you know."
Zheng Laohan slapped his forehead when he heard this: "Yes, yes, yes."
"Qinzhuang has a manifestation of the land temple, so you also went to incense."
"That's right!"
"Land Temple?"
"Where did the Land Temple come from?" Hearing this, the Xinguang monk hurriedly asked.
The maid next to the sixth lady looked very clever, and she was the first to react, so she stammered and replied, "It is the land temple north of Qinzhuang, under the desolate mountain."
"It's been abandoned for I don't know how many years."
"However, there was a drought in Qinzhuang a month ago, and the crops in the field were about to die."
"Many farmers really had no choice but to go and ask for rain, but they didn't expect that after asking for it, it would work out that night."
"One spread ten to hundred, and soon everyone in Qinzhuang will know about it."
"The incense of that land temple is also gradually rising."
The Lisao monk, who had been eating at the table, suddenly raised his head and chuckled: "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon."
"It seems that this land temple is the root of this."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded, and Ah Gua cast a look of admiration.
Lisao coughed lightly twice in embarrassment, and subconsciously straightened up.
As a "killing twin", the image must be mastered.
Monk Xinguang came to the child named "Dong'er" with a smile on his face, and thought about it to prevent him from startling the snake, so as not to help him get rid of the demonic energy in his body first.
"Let's take the children to rest first, and tomorrow we will go to the temple to have a look."
The husband and wife did not dare to say more, so they took the servant, picked up the child, and turned to leave.
When they all left the private room, the room became extremely quiet.
In the end, it was the monk Yehui who broke the peace: "How do you feel a little ......?"
It seemed that he couldn't find the right words, and his brows couldn't help but wrinkle.
But it was Lichen who said, "It's too much of a coincidence."
"Yes!"
The two looked at each other and had the same feeling.
Half a month ago, it happened to be the time of "auspicious ***" in the Western Regions.
This land temple suddenly came into play again, and it's hard not to connect the two.
It's like I'm waiting here.
But Lisao shook his head: "Senior brother, we have had quite a twist and turn all the way here, if the other party is really waiting for us, it will be too clever."
When everyone heard this, they also nodded slightly.
As Lisao said, after they came out of the Great Lei Yin Temple, there were accidents along the way.
First, the Flowing Cloud Boat of Monk Yehui was shot down inexplicably, and then everyone fell into the black fog of Xunhuang and entered the Moon Shadow City from the underground tunnel.
After that, he evaded pursuit in the Moon Shadow City and hid in the Taoist temple on the edge of the city.
In order to meet with the monk Yehui, everyone entered the Huanhua Building.
Nine deaths from the Huanhua Tower, escaping the pursuit of the Leiyin Buddha and the Moon Shadow City Lord.
Unfortunately, there was a strange poison in Lisao's body, so the group had to change their route and go to Landa Temple.
Seal the Moro and eradicate the female trunk......
In this way, even they themselves can't help but be surprised.
It was a fateful journey.
"Maybe we're thinking too much." Monk Xinguang smiled.
After saying that, he continued to compete with the food in front of him.
Everyone has been sleeping in the open for a while, and it is not easy to sit down and have a full meal, and naturally no one wants to break it again.
In this way, it was not until the willow tops on the moon that everyone finally ate and drank to their heart's content.
They each went back to their rooms and slept on their beds.
It wasn't until the next day, when the sun was three poles, that they woke up one after another.
It's just that I pity Zheng Laohan and his wife, because they know the existence of "demonic energy", they are uneasy and haven't slept all night.
"Ladies and gentlemen, how did you rest last night?"
Early in the morning, Zheng Laohan was waiting in the hall.
Seeing that he was in a state of low spirits, Monk Xinguang knew that he must not have slept well last night, so he smiled and said, "Thank you Lord Zheng for your concern, you slept comfortably last night."
After speaking, he stretched his waist, and his bones "crackled".
"Master Zheng, you're busy, I'll wait for more shopping today."
It was still morning, but there were already guests in the hall.
It is said that there are many people and mixed mouths, and the Xinguang monk will not say much, how could Zheng Laohan not understand the meaning, so he hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay, if you need anything, you can pick a few guys to help."
"Hahaha, Master Zheng is polite, there is no need for the guy to help, let's just walk around."
After speaking, the two said goodbye to each other casually.
Out of the inn, just a little inquiry, I knew the location of the land temple.
This land temple, said to be a temple, is actually just a small house in disrepair.
Usually no one cares, but since the last time many farmers came here to ask for rain, they were successful.
This land temple has many more good men and women.
Along the way, there is an endless stream of people who go to worship and incense.
After a simple inquiry, Lichen and his party already knew the ins and outs.
Qinzhuang has not fallen since the end of the Chinese New Year this year.
The waters of the rivers have dried up, and the crops of the fields have dried.
Many peasants, naturally, are anxious, and they have tried many methods, but they have no use at all.
Until half a month ago, when an old farmer was asleep late at night, suddenly the land god told him in a dream, as long as he lit three incense sticks in the land temple, there would naturally be a rain to fall.
The old farmer had already reached the end of his rope, and when he saw that all the seedlings in the field were about to die, this dream became a lifesaver.
So early the next morning, before dawn, I came to the land temple to worship and eat, and lit three incense sticks.
Who knows, but after a cup of tea, the rain poured in the sky.
Sure enough, it was exactly as the land god said in the dream.
In this way, inform the townspeople about it.
Sure enough, a few more people received the gift of the land god and fulfilled their heart's desire.
As a result, this land temple, which was originally full of people, suddenly became full of incense.
There is an endless stream of people who come to offer incense.
Tourists and businessmen from a radius of dozens of miles have heard the news.
I think it was at that time that the sixth lady came with her son to offer incense.
Soon the group followed the rapid flow of people all the way north until they came to a stop at the foot of a mountain.
Looking up, I saw a lonely small temple at the foot of the mountain, among the rocks, and a faint incense was rising at this time.
It's just that Lichen looked at the sky above the small temple, but frowned slightly.
