Chapter 40: Thirty Years Ago
"Old sir, this is not the place to talk, go. Talk inside the house." Second uncle hurriedly and politely said, this may be the biggest charm of second uncle, I found that he can handle any role, the village bully of the lock-head village, the hooligan who flirted with the boss's wife, to now with this sorcerer respectfully like a believer.
The sorcerer was still pounding the ointment and didn't get up, which made Uncle Two's invitation to move very awkward, but Uncle Two still didn't get annoyed, and just stood there silently as the sorcerer poured all of the pounded ointment into a basin and continued to pound the ointment, which gave off a strange aroma. This is a very ordinary-looking herb, I stand here waiting for sleepy, but the second uncle and Chen Jiuzi two are over there standing respectfully, even if I yawning day in and day out is not good to say anything.
The process lasted more than two hours, and only then were all the herbs piled up in a big heap finished off. The basin was also filled with unusually disgusting looking but fragrant medicinal juice, the old sorcerer glanced at Uncle Two and commanded him to say, "Pull this white cloth away."
The second uncle, like his men, pulled open the white cloth on the body of the gopher, the sorcerer took out a small brush from the room, and used the brush to slowly and evenly apply those medicinal juices on the body of the gopher, I got a little depressed and asked Chen Jiuzou, "What is he doing? Making a mummy?"
"I don't know, now I also feel that this old man is very mysterious." Chen Jiuzou said.
This is another hour, and at this time the sky is almost warehouse black, we froze in front of this sorcerer as a grandson waiting for a few hours, until the sorcerer to the gopher's body all over the body of that ointment, he only counted the right eye to look at the second uncle, but he looked at the right eye I would rather that he did not look at it, because his pair of eyes that are all whites of the eye, looks very scary.
"Come inside and talk." The old man beckoned.
When I entered that wooden attic, it was very simply decorated with some fortune telling stuff, but as soon as I entered I saw the incense burner offering. It was two paintings, and I was instantly attracted to these two paintings, they were being honored before the incense burner. This position was definitely a god position, but where were these two gods gods, it wouldn't be too much to say that they were demons. One of them can be seen as a woman, a gorgeous dress, but the head on the head, but a weasel head.
Because of the relationship between the lock head village, I have a considerable sensitivity and rejection of weasel species, and the other picture, looks even more bizarre, this is a full body armor of the general dress, but the head, but a cobra's head.
This is an offering to two goblins, a weasel and a snake.
This sorcerer, sorcerer offerings to God, I still clearly remember how helpless and helpless he was when He Zhenzhen kneeled to the yellow weasel, cultivators and monsters are incompatible, here but incense offerings to monsters, this old sorcerer can be a good person is strange.
And the second uncle also stared at these two idols, he and I looked at each other for a moment, each knew what the other was thinking, he shook his head at me, signaling me not to say anything while he continued to give this sorcerer a go at getting close.
"No matter what you say, you can't go into the mountain, the last time those few people went into the mountain, they have already angered the mountain god master, I worship day and night before I can stop, and you are also rushing to the mountain god master's place, if I don't stop you, it's a small matter for you to die, but if the mountain god master gets angry, the village will be in trouble." The sorcerer said.
"Which one is the Mountain God Master?" Uncle Two asked.
The sorcerer pointed to the idol and said, "The Dragon Snake God is the Mountain God, and the other one, is the Yellow Immortal Lady."
I almost laughed out, although there are ghosts and monsters in my grandfather's notes, but I feel that those are real, those monsters are flesh and blood, but I feel that this what the dragon snake god weasel niangniang, after he said so, it feels very funny, also is to deceive a level of elementary school students.
A nest of snakes and rats A nest of snakes and rats, is that what they mean? Snake and weasel or two?
"Little doll, what are you laughing at!" The sorcerer's whitish eyes stared at me and said coldly.
"Sorcerer, today I saw you pull out that little snake in my friend's body, and I adore you, so I'll definitely listen to your words, but you should at least explain what's going on." Uncle Two said.
"This village dropped Broken Tail Walled Village, the walled village is not always there, is the Qing Dynasty when the old ancestors brought us over to settle, and from the old ancestors over to start, there is a rule here, that is, there is a mountain god master, I can also probably guess what you are doing, inverted bucket you are afraid that you have come to the wrong place, there is a forbidden place inside the mountain, it is true that it looks like a tomb, but it is not, it is a mountain god master's home From the beginning of this village, the old ancestors set up a rule that it's okay to live off the mountain, even if it's killing snakes, because it's a gift from the God of the Mountain, and that's how we live together peacefully, but thirty years ago, this old blind man suddenly opened his eyes, although he still looks blind, but he can't see, only I know, and then there was a snake plague, and the snakes came down from all over the place, just like a madman, and this village almost disappeared. This fortress are almost gone, and then I realized that the original is a man and a woman from abroad broke into the forbidden land, stole the mountain god's things angered his old man, the villagers all know is that I kneeled in front of the mountain god for a few days and nights, but no one knows that in fact that a pair of men and women later put something into it, which only to save the fortress. It was they themselves, who begged for the Mountain God Master's forgiveness." The sorcerer said.
"And then?" Uncle Two suddenly tensed up.
"Then there was peace and quiet for almost thirty years, but some days ago, there were inverters who slipped into the mountains, broke into the Mountain God Master's chambers, and stole the things that the man and woman had offered to the Mountain God Master, which opened my eyes again, and if I'm not wrong, the Mountain God Master is about to be angry, so a few young people, I really don't mean to frighten you, go into the mountains and play right now all you can, and the Mountain God Master may be angry at any time, so a few young people, I really don't mean to scare you, go into the mountains to play right now, and the Mountain God Master may be get angry, another time you guys come, I'll find a few young juniors to take you into the mountain." The sorcerer waved his hand, signaling a farewell.
But at this time, the second uncle's face was very strange, and it was not natural to look at this sorcerer.
"Old sir, I believe you, but since you have told me the truth, I will also tell you the truth, I am not the only one who wants to enter the mountain right now, there is also a group of people who are still behind, and the group of people behind are very powerful, and will definitely not listen to persuasion, you can't stop them." Second uncle said.
"Come and say, really want to find death by themselves, what can I do, you guys go, mind your own business." The sorcerer waved his hand, signaling to send off the guests, his attitude was very resolute, making me very upset, just so haphazardly fooling around with a few sentences, just send us off?
But the second uncle's face at this time is very bad, pulling me and nine two left the wooden attic, out of the attic after he even changed into a trot, it was not easy for us to keep up, to the hospitality, the second uncle pulled the boss lady, grabbed a handful of one hundred yuan bill to the boss lady's bra a plug, said: "big sister, to help my brother a favor, go to call a few village elders, preferably the best, to the village of the old man, to the village of the village of the old man, to the village of the old man, to the village of the old man, to the village of the old man, to the village of the old man, to the village of the old woman. a few village elders, preferably those who have experienced that snake disaster thirty years ago, and take this money as a running fee."
After two days of observation I know that this boss's wife is in fact a money-minded slut, not with the Dragon Inn boss lady like a woman of the world, grabbed the money and went into the village, I'm puzzled by this sudden excitement of the second uncle, asked him he just waved his hand at me and said, "You'll know later."
Not long after, the boss's wife invited a few old people to come, Uncle Two instructed the boss's wife to cook a few dishes, and after eating for a while he took out a photo and asked, "Old gentlemen, I heard the sorcerer say today that the snake plague back then was due to the man and the woman that stole the mountain goddess's belongings thirty years ago? Can you still recognize that man and woman?"
"Why not? I'd recognize those two even if they were ashes." An old man with a mouth full of teeth said.
The second uncle almost trembled and handed over the photo, the old man took a look at it and exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost: "Right! That's them, what kind of person are you with them?!"
"Not familiar, I won't hide it from you, these two are demons, the three of us are Taoist priests, we are here to take charge of catching these two demons." The second uncle said, after finishing he put away the photo and said, "Come on, eat, let's not talk about this, we came here following the demonic aura, it looks like these two are gone, we have to continue to chase after the demon to be subdued."
Waiting for these few old people to send away, the second uncle pulled us both to the room, threw me a cigarette, he himself took a breath and smoked three mouthfuls, said, "Great nephew, I think I probably understand what is going on."
"Second uncle, you don't sell the secret, I'm in a hurry." I said.
"Thirty years ago, don't you feel familiar? That was exactly the time when your grandma Xiu'e and that Zhuo Anu, the know-it-all, eloped!" Second Uncle frowned.
