Chapter 13: Flesh and Goddess Statues

“…… Mom, don't read it! Don't read the weird stuff in your mouth! ”

"You're obsessed, Mom!"

No matter how much his mother pushed away his hand, he held his mother's arm tightly.

Listening to his mother's strange words, the young man was even more angry, with some nameless anger in his heart.

"What do you have to go out for! What do you have to do in that Qingming Temple! What the hell are they that have fascinated you! Let Mom, you don't even care about your son's words, and you have to run north up the mountain! ”

"It's night now, and a serious temple still receives pilgrims at night! Mother! I don't think you're serious about trusting it now! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, don't ......"

His mother's face was flustered, and she reached out to cover her son's mouth.

The young man looked away, looking at his mother's appearance, and became even more angry,

"Mom! Just tell me! Why do you have to go out! I've told you it all! Don't go out for these two days! Don't you believe that? People told you everything! Don't go out! ”

“…… Mother...... Mom doesn't want to go out either. ”

At this time, his mother trembled all over, her eyes were red with tears, and she said in a low voice,

"But...... Mom, Mom can't help it......"

"Mom, what did you say?"

The young man listened to his mother's different words, and his spirits perked, and he took his mother's hand with both hands, and then asked,

But his mother refused to say any more, as if he had not said what he had said before, but turned her head away, avoiding the young man's sight, and kept telling the young man to let go of his hand.

“…… Let go of your hands...... Mom went out for a trip and was very soon, and soon to be back......"

"You let go of your hand...... Stay at home, you have dinner, mom will ...... soon Come back soon......"

"Mom!"

The young man watched his mother shrink and push his hand away in a trembling manner.

couldn't help but shout again, and then with red eyes, he lowered his voice a little, and said again with a low body and pleading,

"Mom...... Let's not go out, okay. I beg you to ......"

"Let's eat first...... You see, it's getting cold here. ”

His mother shrunk back, looked up at him, and then at the table next to him.

He lowered his head and did not speak again.

"Mom...... Let's eat first...... After eating, you go back to your bedroom and sleep...... Or watch TV...... Put on the TV and the clock will soon pass. ”

The young man saw that his mother's attitude had changed, and hurriedly spoke, pulling his mother back to the table.

This time, his mother didn't resist anymore, let him pull him, and sat at the dining table on one side.

"Mom, you eat."

The young man sat down on the other side of the table next to him and handed the chopsticks to his mother.

His mother's sack was still in her hand, and she sat with her head bowed, shrunk to her side,

Raised his head, looked at him, and then took the chopsticks.

The young man breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't care about eating himself, he just kept talking to his mother and sandwiching food for his mother.

“…… Mom, now it's dinner, and we're not going out, can you give me that cloth bag and I'll put it up for you? ”

“…… Mom, you can take it if you want...... Mom, you eat this green vegetable, I fried it a little softly, and I didn't use chili peppers, I was fried, I'm afraid it won't ...... with your taste."

“…… Mom, after eating, I'll get you a basin of hot water, and you should be more comfortable when you soak your feet. ”

The young man kept talking, but his mother never answered, but shrunk back, somewhat avoiding his gaze, and bowed her head to eat.

The young man's eyes were fixed on his mother, and he did not dare to take his heart away, for fear that his mother would say those strange things again.

"Mom...... Have you eaten enough...... When you're full, go back to your bedroom and watch TV. I'm going to put you in a basin of hot water. ”

Watching his mother slowly put down her chopsticks, carrying the cloth bag in her hand, and sitting there with her head down.

The young man also stopped his chopsticks and spoke aloud, but his eyes did not want to take away from his mother.

His mother didn't answer, but stood up in silence with her head bowed.

The young man followed his mother until he watched her enter the bedroom, and reached out to close the bedroom door before he went to get the hot water.

He kept looking back to make sure his mother had tried to get out.

When he returned with hot water, he saw his mother still sitting on the edge of the bed, carrying the cloth bag and bowing her head, and the young man breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mom, you soak your feet, and then watch TV for a while, just rest, I'll stay outside, and you can call me ...... if you have something."

His mother looked up at him, but still did not speak.

……

How to watch a big living person who can move around by himself anytime and anywhere?

The young man went out to his mother's bedroom door after his mother went to bed.

He took a futon and spread it directly at the door of his mother's bedroom.

He sat in the bedroom door, with his back to the bedroom door.

As soon as someone in the house opened the door, he would fall backwards.

Just take the key and lock the bedroom door, leaving the key in the keyhole, so that the people inside can't open it.

After doing this, the young man sat down in front of the bedroom door and did not sleep.

Take out your phone and read a novel first, then play a game.

But even so, he still didn't know when he fell asleep unconsciously.

The phone was taken off, dropped to the side, and did not wake up.

Young people who slept past,

First he had a dream, and he dreamed of a vague color of blood, like a mist that permeated from the surroundings and drilled into his body.

Then, immediately after, he dreamed of the 'folklore lover', the gentleman who unsigned the lot.

It seems to be a reproduction of the words that the gentleman said to him that day, but he couldn't see the gentleman's face clearly in the dream.

“…… Go back and tell your mother not to go out these days, let alone go up the mountain......"

When I dreamed of this sentence again,

The young man suddenly woke up.

When I woke up and opened my eyes, I was a little panicked subconsciously, struggling with my somewhat sore body, standing up and looking back,

I saw that the door behind me was still closed, and the key was still on the door.

"Hoo ......"

He breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately after, the young man's face showed hesitation again,

Thinking about the previous dream, I can't rest assured.

After hesitating, he opened the bedroom door lightly.

“…… Mother? ”

"Mom!"

In the bedroom room, his mother's figure, which was supposed to be lying on the bed, was gone.

The young man ran into the house, looked under and off the bed, but found no figure.

His face changed greatly, he was a little frightened and panicked, he didn't know how his mother got out,

He was always at the door of his bedroom, and his house was on the seventh floor.

But his mother was gone.

Obviously, I still went to Kitayama.

Gritting his teeth, the young man ran to the door of the living room,

didn't chase it directly, but went out and pressed the elevator,

While calling the police.

“…… Hey, hello, alarm center, what problem are you experiencing? ”

"Hey, hello, I report, report that there are illegal religious activities going on, they brainwash the elderly, and illegally imprison them! My mom was cheated on by them! ”

"Is it going on now? In what place? ”

"Kitayama! On the North Mountain! It may be in Beishan Qingming Temple! They have weapons! ”

When the elevator arrived, the young man got into the elevator and told him what he knew, and said in a slightly exaggerated way,

"Got a weapon? Yes...... We have notified the SWAT department and will dispatch the police immediately! You take care to keep yourself safe and don't risk it, we will contact you at any time. ”

Sure enough, hearing the young man's words, the operator's tone suddenly became much more serious.

"I know, okay."

After calling the police, the young man was already in the parking lot downstairs and rode his motorcycle.

Even so, he didn't try to go alone.

What did he think, there shouldn't be only one or two people in the damn Qingming Temple, although he was trying to rescue his mother, but he went alone, and he might not be able to save his mother.

Of course, it is also possible that there is nothing to do, and his mother is simple, so obsessed, that she wants to go to Qingming Temple at night to make a vow.

As long as his mother is fine, he confessed to it for two days because he reported to the police!

“…… Hey, Brother Chen, can you do me a favor...... My mother was deceived by a temple, brainwashed, and secretly ran up the mountain at night, saying that she wanted to repay her vows. ”

"Well, yes, I'm just afraid something will happen to her."

"Hmm...... Brother Liu...... Can you do me a favor......"

Sitting on the motorcycle, he picked up the phone again, made several calls to his familiar colleagues and friends, and called several auxiliary police and chengguan.

These friends also agreed to go together on the North Mountain.

The young man picked up his mobile phone again, twisted the handle, rode a motorcycle, and hurried away in the direction of Beishan.

……

The speed is very fast all the way, and I don't know if there is any speeding.

In addition to hurrying, he also paid attention to his mother along the way.

It's just that I didn't see it all the way to the place, which made the young man's heart sink even more.

The young man rushed to the foot of Beishan, but only saw the road at the foot of the mountain, the street lamps illuminated in yellow, and the dark Beishan at night.

The young man frowned,

The police haven't arrived yet?

Supposedly, the SWAT must have arrived before him.

But he didn't see any cars with lights on at the bottom of the hill.

I followed the bypass road at the foot of the mountain and looked back.

But he could still only see the dead and uninhabited road.

The young man frowned, with worry and anxiety in his eyes,

This anxiety became more and more intense as he got closer to Beishan, and standing here at the foot of Beishan, he didn't see the police coming, which even made him a little angry.

Raising his head, the young man followed the mountain path that stretched from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and then looked at the north mountain.

The jungle of Beishan is dense, and most of the roads, temples, and buildings on the mountain are covered by the shade of trees and leaves.

During the day, there are often tourists from the city or near the city, walking under the tree-lined paths and just feel comfortable.

At night, the temple on the hill is closed, and the lights are seen again on the hill.

On the black and oppressive North Mountain, those buildings with dead vines and old trees, and green plants climbing the wall, only make people feel that they are dancing with their teeth and claws, and they are eerie.

Anxious and worried, the young man wandered back and forth beside his stopped motorcycle and hesitated a few times,

Looking up again, the police and the people he called still no one came.

Gritting his teeth, in this eager emotion, he still picked up his weapon of self-defense, a throwing stick, and rushed up the mountain.

……

“…… Immortal, you must bless me for accurate fortune-telling...... Thanks to your blessing, I feel that I am not far from enlightenment! ”

In the south of Wang'an City, a dwelling.

Fortune teller old man, old man Hong since the young master of Youdao told him a hexagram a few days ago,

Keeping him away from Beicheng recently, he decisively took his wife and moved directly to the direction directly opposite Beicheng, Nancheng.

"What about the Bodhisattva again?"

His wife, the old lady, came out of the kitchen, carrying dishes,

Looking at the statue of a god on the table in front of Old Man Hong, there was awe and piety in his eyes.

“…… What a bodhisattva, this is a god! ”

"It's the female bodhisattva, here......"

"Nonsense, this is a goddess fairy...... This is the immortal ...... of our Taoism."

On the offering table covered with embroidered red cloth, there is a pure white statue of the standing god.

Judging from the posture of the statue, it is a goddess, and her facial features are not visible on her face, but she has a mask carved into it.

Just looking at the posture of the idol, I feel that it is perfect and holy, and every point of the idol is natural, and there is no flaw in it.

It seems that this is the most perfect appearance of the human body, and it seems that all the good things are gathered on the statue of God.

“…… Goddess fairy...... Immortal, please bless us, bless my son, bless our family......"

The old lady put down the dishes, wiped her hands, and then went back to the idol and prayed reverently.

“…… Oh, I told you before, you still don't believe it, but now you know how great the gods are. ”

Old man Hong shook his head and said.

"Who knew before...... See the goddess fairy ...... You know, it must be God. ”

Looking at the statue of the goddess, the old lady had some obsession in her eyes.

Old man Hong also turned his head again and respectfully placed the statue of the god.

“…… Thank you, gods, for your guidance...... I am your most faithful believer......"

Old man Hong looked at this idol and only felt that this idol was so perfect.

That's nothing better than anything in the world,

He is like a duckweed mayfly, and this idol is the great firmament,

It symbolizes all truth, all greatness.

And this idol,

He picked it up two days ago.

Now, he only felt that the 'master' at the beginning was actually not only guiding his safety,

He also answered his opportunity to enlightenment!

After he decided to move from the north city to the south of the city, he went to the river to tell fortunes as usual the next day.

I met this perfect, great, divine idol.

At that time, the white idol was lying quietly on the ground, but no one seemed to notice him.

Later, Old Man Hong only felt that it was a coincidence of fate,

can let him meet such a great 'immortal'.

Old man Hong, who was walking with his head bowed at that time, just saw the statue on the ground at a glance,

The statue of the god is like the most perfect masterpiece in the world, and the beauty of the statue alone has attracted the attention of Old Man Hong.

Then, in a trance, unconsciously, he picked up the idol.

And then......

And he felt the power of the idol.

When he was telling fortunes that day, when he opened his mouth to speak, when he met a fortune-telling guest,

There is an inexplicable feeling that the fate of these people is already clear in his heart.

It seems that there is a kind of guidance in the dark, which makes him vaguely feel the fate of these people.

He seemed to know what these people were trying to ask, and he knew the answers they were asking for.

And then...... And he said.

Thereupon...... These days, his fame has begun to spread.

At first, he didn't know where this inexplicable feeling came from,

When he got home and took out the idol again, his eyes were fixed on the idol.

After a few days,

And he offered this perfect and great idol to his house,

I visit the shrine every day.

It's just that he feels that his fortune-telling itself, his own cultivation, seems to be constantly growing, as if he can peek into the ethereal ...... Destiny.

"Great, Goddess...... Bless me, bless me for being more accurate...... Bless me for enlightenment......"

Besides, there was some fanaticism in Old Man Hong's eyes.

It's just that he still has some pity in his heart, and he doesn't know which god this great goddess is.

Also, I don't know...... What will be their fate?

Old man Hong had such a thought in his heart, and then he lingered in his heart.

Retracting his devotion to the goddess and standing up again, Old Man Hong lowered his head and thought, under the greeting of his wife, he sat down to eat first.

And next to there, still standing, it seems to gather together a beautiful statue of the goddess with a flawless body,

There was a slight change in the face of the mask, and it seemed to be smiling.

Laughed extraordinarily perfectly...... It seems that everyone who sees it wants to smile with her, unconsciously happy.
