Chapter 36: Can't be moved

Last night, the villagers discussed the night and agreed to move the statue.

Only the third mother-in-law's family was unwilling.

Early this morning, the whole family of the three mothers-in-law set out to protect the mountain temple.

Looking at this posture, no one would want to remove the statue under their noses.

The villagers gathered outside the temple and talked about it, so it was not lively.

Some people feel that the third mother-in-law did something inappropriate, and some people defend the third mother-in-law.

No one can say whether he is ugly, right or wrong.

"The village chief is here!"

When the village chief heard that something had changed, he hurried over.

When he arrived at the entrance of the temple, he saw the posture of the third mother-in-law, and he was quite embarrassed, and said, "The third mother-in-law, why should you be an old man!"

The third mother-in-law had a straight face, not angry and arrogant, "Village chief, my wife and son have been worshiping the mountain god statue since I was six years old, and I have never stopped worshipping for more than 80 years, and today you actually want to move the god statue, I don't agree!"

The attitude of the third mother-in-law is very resolute.

It makes sense.

The old man already attaches importance to the rules and has conservative concepts, not to mention that the third mother-in-law is a devout worshipper of the mountain god.

Suddenly wanted to move the statue, and the third mother-in-law naturally strongly objected.

Her sons, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren all understood the old lady's thoughts, so they surrounded the mountain temple together and confronted the villagers.

The three mothers-in-law's family is prosperous, with children and grandchildren, and there are more than 30 men and women.

She didn't agree to move the statue, and no one in the village dared to move.

The village chief sighed and continued to persuade: "Third mother-in-law, you have worshiped the mountain god all your life, and you should rest." ”

The third mother-in-law sneered, "I said a long time ago, if you don't die for a day, the old woman will worship for a day, and if you don't die for a year, you will worship for a year, what's the matter, you don't curse me to die now?"

That's too much to say.

The children of the third mother-in-law all changed their faces and glared at the village chief.

The village chief shook his head in fright.

"Third mother-in-law, we all want you to live a long life, how can I curse you," the village chief tried his best to explain, "But the Taoist chief helped Chenjia Village to extinguish the demons, we learned that Entu reported that it was not, the Taoist chief said that he wanted to move this statue, and the villagers also agreed, why did you ......"

The third mother-in-law didn't listen to the explanation at all, and it was still those three words: can't move.

She used her body to block the center of the temple entrance, not giving an inch.

The village chief said that he couldn't persuade him, but he had no choice but to call a few strong men in the village, "Go, move the idol out, be careful not to touch the third mother-in-law." ”

"Yes, village chief. ”

Several strong men were stunned, and they rushed to the temple with their legs pulled.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the temple, the third mother-in-law slapped the chair excitedly, crackling, "I see who dares to enter!

"If you want to move the statue, step on the old woman's body!"

The family members of the three mothers-in-law are not vegetarians, and they all come up with shovels and hoes.

While pushing and pushing.

While scolding.

Look at this posture, you have to fight.

The two sides were arguing with each other, spitting stars first.

No one will give in.

"The Taoist is here!"

"Get out of the way!"

At this moment, Lin Yi appeared in the crowd.

The village chief hurriedly invited Lin Yi over to explain the situation.

Seeing the third mother-in-law sitting at the entrance of the temple, Lin Yi had probably guessed it.

It's not so easy to move this mountain god statue.

Sometimes, it's simple to kill someone.

It is much more difficult to convince a person.

Seeing Lin Yi coming, the villagers were very enthusiastic and saluted one after another.

The third mother-in-law also restrained her expression of wanting to die or live, and stood up tremblingly, "Dao Chief!"

After all, it is a fact that Lin Yifu saved people, and he was the benefactor of Chenjia Village.

No one dared to be disrespectful to Lin Yi.

Lin Yi nodded, "Third mother-in-law, please take a seat." ”

He didn't rush to talk about moving the statue, but first resolved the conflict and asked a few strong men to withdraw.

The family members of the three mothers-in-law also stepped back and put down the things in their hands.

A brawl subsided.

"The third mother-in-law is extremely devout to the mountain god and worships every day," Lin Yi smiled faintly, "This point, poor Dao sincerely admires, the third mother-in-law, you are really a model for the younger generations." ”

Hearing this, the corners of the third mother-in-law's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of joy.

Who doesn't like to hear good words.

Lin Yi continued: "But the third mother-in-law, have you ever considered the mountain god you believe in?"

The third mother-in-law was stunned, "Dao Chief, the immortals are omnipotent and omniscient, what can I do, old woman!"

"Definitely," Lin Yi shook his head, "Immortals need mortal incense offerings the most, for immortals, the more incense, the better, just like our mortals' money." ”

"If you worship sincerely, the mountain gods will receive incense from your sincerity. ”

"But how many people are in your village, plus the nearby villages, the mountain god has always had a limited amount of incense. ”

"If you move the statue to the Taoist temple of the poor road, in addition to your continuous incense, there will also be more pilgrims to worship the mountain god and worship incense, which is of great benefit to the mountain god. ”

The third mother-in-law was speechless.

Not only her, but also the villagers were dumbfounded.

They only know how to farm, so they have no knowledge.

Listening to Lin Yiyi's words, Fang suddenly realized.

"Think about it, would your mountain god be willing to stay in this small temple in Chenjia Village, or would he like to go to the Taoist temple of the poor road and enjoy more incense?"

Lin Yi asked.

No one answered him.

Because the answer is obvious.

After a long time, the third mother-in-law stroked the silver hair on the top of her head and said: "I have worshiped the mountain god all my life, and I feel guilty if I don't worship for a day...... How can I go to worship this old bone!"

Lin Yi exhaled, his gaze swept over the children and grandchildren of the third mother-in-law, and said, "The third mother-in-law is full of children and grandchildren, can't you find someone to worship the mountain god for you?"

"To put it mildly, sooner or later you will close your eyes, is it possible that when you close your eyes, these children and grandchildren will not go to worship the mountain gods?"

The third mother-in-law clenched her fists excitedly, "That's not good, our family has to worship the mountain god for generations." ”

"So," Lin Yi smiled slightly, "It's time for you to rest, let this group of juniors worship the mountain god for you, poor Dao thought, they will be happy." ”

The third mother-in-law was silent again.

An old face is cloudy.

The dense wrinkles couldn't help but tremble.

However, the third mother-in-law's Chen Nian is difficult to change, how could she figure it out because of Lin Yi's few words.

She thought about it, but she still couldn't let go.

"No, you can't move the idol!" said the third mother-in-law stubbornly.

The village chief was anxious when he heard this, "Third mother-in-law, what the Taoist chief said makes sense, ...... What are you afraid of?"

"Yes, third mother-in-law, let the Taoist chief remove the idol. ”

"Listen to the sermon for the right time. ”

The villagers chimed in.

The people who wavered before also figured it out after listening to Lin Yi's words.

Even the children and grandchildren of the third mother-in-law began to persuade.

They also don't want the third mother-in-law to be too obsessed.

Annoyed by hearing this, the third mother-in-law waved her old and thin hands, slapped them on the armrests, and said excitedly: "It's Lord Mountain God! Lord Mountain God gave his wife a dream last night, saying that his statue can't be moved, and he must not move it, otherwise it will bring disaster to Chenjia Village!"

As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around.

The villagers were stunned.
