Chapter 31: Qu Xiaodao

I put the instant noodles on the table, took out my mobile phone to read the news, and saw that there was only one WeChat friend, Zhang Yan, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Eating instant noodles, the carriage was surprisingly quiet, except for the man who had been standing in front of the mirror and doing his hair, who whistled after a while, returned to his seat and sat down across from me.

I pretended to be eating instant noodles casually, but my eyes were focused on the man opposite, because he always turned his head to look at me, and when he saw me look up, he looked back away.

I put away the instant noodle box, wiped my mouth and sat on the seat with my eyes looking at the bag in my hand, but I panicked in my heart, because the man was looking at me again!

I felt uncomfortable in my heart, so I picked up my bag and luggage and changed the carriage, specially found a car with a few people to sit down, and turned my head to see that the guy didn't follow, and I was relieved.

I heard that there were a lot of thieves on the train, and I was afraid of being remembered, not to mention that the man was carrying a very old bag, and his clothes were very old, I was really afraid that he would try to do wrong.

When I saw that there were people around, I slept peacefully, and my important items were tightly tucked inside.

This night except for a little uncomfortable sleep, everything else is fine, when I woke up, I saw that the sky was already slightly bright, asked the flight attendant, she told me that I had arrived in the south of Qiannan.

"Qiannan."

I muttered, and it wasn't long before the train arrived.

I got out of the car with my luggage in tow, and finally got a taxi at the crowded train station.

I stuffed my luggage into the car, got in the car and asked the driver to pull me to the bus station to transfer to the next stop.

After the driver familiarly pulled me to the bus station, I took off my luggage and went to buy a ticket, and the destination was Moutai Town.

At that time, Moutai Town was already famous for its production of famous liquor, and it was located on the bank of the Chishui River with beautiful scenery.

After arriving in Moutai, I found a small hotel to settle down, the people here are simple, the proprietress saw that I was a foreigner, and very enthusiastically introduced me to the local characteristics and cultural tourism, I was very interested in listening.

The next morning I got up to eat, there were very few customers in the shop, and there was an old man sitting at the door, the proprietress said that it was her uncle, because the old man was lonely and widowed all his life and had no children and no daughters, and he would come to the shop to sit in the shop on weekdays, but he always liked to sit at the door in a daze.

I took breakfast and sat down next to the old man, and asked the other party on a whim if he had eaten breakfast, and the old man smoked a cigarette and water bag, and said no, his eyes continued to look at the mountains in the distance.

"It's been raining lately, and the Dragon King is coming out."

The old man smoked his cigarette and water bag and looked at the mountains in the distance and said, I was inexplicable when I listened.

When I went out in the afternoon, I told the proprietress that the luggage would be put for a while, and I would come back when I went out for a walk, and the proprietress readily agreed.

Walking to the southwest, there is a Taoist temple on the west hill of this town, and the town of Moutai is covered by a cage of smoke just after the rain, but only the Taoist hall on the mountain looms.

I climbed up curiously and found that this is really a place with a wonderful view, and it is like being in a fairyland.

There are very few tourists, and it can be said that there are almost no people in sight.

As I walked up the stone steps, I suddenly noticed a rickety figure walking not far away, also heading up the mountain.

I was far away from him, and the two of us walked up the hill one after the other.

When I got to the door of the hall, I saw the man enter, and the mountain gate was ajar, and I followed in with curiosity.

In the view, the incense is burning in the nose, and the prayer flags will flutter with the wind, but except for the empty hall, there is not even half a figure looking at it.

Where did the guy who came in just go?

I walked into the main hall, and saw that there were three statues of gods inside, when I was with Wang Huai before, I probably knew a little about this matter, and the one in front of me should be the three Qings: Yuan Shi Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, and Daode Tianzun.

I looked at the majestic statue and thought to myself that since I had come, I would like to bow sincerely, and after I had finished worshipping, I went out of the main hall.

As soon as I came out, I saw a person standing next to me, and I glanced at me.

I was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the man, and even more surprised when I looked closely, because he had been on a train with me.

I was a little weak and didn't dare to look at him, so I quickly raised my feet and slipped away.

Halfway through, I thought to myself, why is this guy here? Didn't he come after me, did he know that I had two million on me? That shouldn't be.

I hurried down the hill and checked out when I got back to the hotel, not because I was afraid of the person, but because I wanted to live in a clean environment.

When I came to Qiannan this time, I was going to say goodbye to the past, and I was afraid that Wang Huai would come to me, so I deliberately ran a long way. I don't know if my position in his heart is the same as his sister-in-law, worthy of him to come to.

On the recommendation of the proprietor's wife, I rented a house in a village where his uncle lived, surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery, which suited me quite well, and I also felt the benefits of having money.

The neighbors are all local villagers, and it is not at all strange to see me, a foreigner, come to live in such a place.

But suddenly one day, my peaceful life was shattered by the appearance of that person.

The man he had seen twice, he reappeared.

The other party did not come to me, but because of a custom in the village, he had to sacrifice the dragon every year, and specially invited him to set up a magic field.

The first time I saw this kind of scene, their battle was quite large, and a long table banquet was set up, whether it was from other places or locals, or people passing by could eat together.

Speaking of the custom in the village, it is to sacrifice an old banyan tree, also known as Wan Nianqing, and I heard the old people in the village say that the age of the tree varies from 100 years.

I asked the old lady in the village about the man, and they told me that this master Qu was invited from the Taoist temple in the town, and the other party was proficient in strange arts, and the fee was not high, and the dragon sacrifice was originally done by the people in his own village, but the Taoist priest had been kind to their village, so he invited the people to come over for a meal.

After listening to this, I nodded, I see, but this kind of thing is really outrageous, I actually met that man three times!

Thinking of this, my doubts were relieved, and I saw some lively villagers coming up to watch, and I also squeezed into the crowd to watch.

This sacrificial dragon is as lively as the New Year, the man who is called Master Qu by the villagers, he is dressed in rags, but at the moment he is full of energy, holding a sword in his hand, swinging it with a fascination, picking a piece of rune paper and continuing to step, every step is exquisite, and the other hand holds the bell and recites words in his mouth, but I don't understand.

After putting the sword away, he took the brush on the table, and drew a talisman very skillfully on a one-meter-long strip of red cloth, and then the village chief and the young man carefully picked up the strip of cloth in a corner, and tied the red cloth with the charm to the root of Wan Nianqing, which was full of incense and candles.

After finishing it, everyone began to go back to the table to eat, and I was still standing where I was, and the master Qu did not take a seat after doing this, but talked with the village chief about something, and when everything was finished, he turned his head and saw me.
