Chapter 20 What Monster
Lao Pizi said seriously, "Hero, I want to say... There are no fairies in this world, do you believe it?"
If it were before, if someone said this to Jiang Ming, Jiang Ming would definitely believe it! But now... he felt that this old man was deliberately pretending to be pure with him, and shook his head with a sneer.
"Well! Heroes... We spiritual beasts should not go astray. We always feel that... we can cultivate into a personal form, and can change seventy-two times like Sun Wuzi. That's all delusions! Humans are humans, animals are animals, and gods are gods. The boundaries are clearly divided and they are indiscriminate! "
Jiang Mingke wanted to tell him that he had become a beast, so how could he say this? But when he said that, he was holding back.
"Ahem! I met such a person in the county last night! He is a fox that can turn into human form, wood, can be eaten or made..."
Jiang Ming simply told the story of encountering the fox girl. The old man was frightened and blinked with one eye, and the "laser pen" almost lit up again.
"If there is such a guy... it must be an animal!" Old Pizi frowned and said in a stern voice.
"It's not... it's human beings, right? Hey? I'm immortal. Think about it carefully. In this world, there is something that can switch between body, stone, and wood. This guy... can not only turn into wood by himself, but also drive some shovels, mop, etc. into foxes to bite me..." Jiang Ming said.
Lao Pizi moved and pondered: "When I was young, oh... at that time, people were still wearing big braids, but I had encountered something similar to yours..."
Lao Pizi said that there was a village in the north of the capital, and there was an old tree at the entrance of the village, dozens of feet tall! The thick branch... It took five or six men to hug it. It was really a pillar of clouds and a purple gold beam that stood up in the sea!
At that time... Lao Fu was going to build a garden, so the officials below fell in love with the tree and sent soldiers to cut the yamen runners, but they couldn't cut it! The bark was as strong as iron, and it could still burst out with sparks!
Later, a lack of brains suggested that it would be better to... try it with foreign guns and cannons, and he really set up foreign guns and cannons to knock down the tree!
After the shocking cannon, the towering tree trembled violently, but it still did not fall. It was just... a shallow pit as big as a bowl on the trunk was blasted out, with blood and blood inside, and blood was sprayed out...
At this moment, the officials were also scared and began to believe the people's words: This tree is a sacred tree and cannot be cut down! If you cut this tree, you will be punished!
So he fled in a hurry with his subordinates, but the retribution... was fulfilled in a few days!
As for the officials, what about the officials? Lao Pizi didn't know, but the people in the village hanged themselves one after another. The panicked villagers left their hometowns and no longer dared to live in that territory...
"Hero! If... flesh and wood can change each other, this may be the only thing, but it is a sacred tree, neither a livestock nor a human being, nor a person, and we can see and understand..." Lao Pizi said in disappointment with a blink of an eye.
Jiang Ming sucked his teeth and was still immersed in the story of Lao Pizi. He asked in confusion: "This is a bit incredible. These ordinary people... did not provoke the sacred tree and prevented the officials from cutting down... Why did the sacred tree cause disaster and put it on them? This sacred tree is also a fool."
"You can't say that... Hero, you don't understand the temper of a god. I remember when I was young, my mother told me something I had experienced in person..."
Lao Pizi opened the conversation and told Jiang Ming about the past.
It was said that there was a temple in the village next door next door. There was no incense in the temple. It was disrepaired and dilapidated. I don’t know when it was built? Even... Who was the goddess on the shrine table? No one knew it. In short, it was an abandoned house.
Lao Pizi's mother's mother's home is from that village. After gaining some luck, she lives in that temple, just like it now, hiding in the land temple of this village.
Although animals have become versatile in human nature and have some cultivation, they do not believe in ghosts and gods. After all, this world is objective, sugar is sweet, salt is salt, and they are not stupid either.
But one thing completely overturned the worldview of Lao Pizi's mother. It was on a night of thunder and rain, and the rain was heavy, filling the ditch in the village.
A perverted man entered the Niangniang Temple and picked up the wooden carving Bodhisattva in the Niangniang Temple and carried it away. Heavy rain and people stepped on it. The wooden carving of Niangniang was so miserable!
Lao Pizi's mother thought at that time that this is a god... it is a tragic way to achieve it. It's fine if you can't enjoy incense offerings. Now... I'm going to be ruined like this. It's said that a phoenix fell into the water is not as good as a chicken, and this down-and-out god is not as good as a weasel like himself!
Fortunately, at dawn, a kind-hearted old man brought back the Woodcarving Bodhisattva and wiped it clean with a clean cloth. He kept reciting his sins... Sin... He bowed and kowtowed to the Woodcarving Bodhisattva three times and nine times, put on offerings such as eggs, fruits, peaches, and peaches, burned high incense, and left after a prayer.
While my old lady was watching the dazzling array of food and preparing to have a feast, the wood carving that had never spoken before actually spoken!
The one who spoke first... was not the Bodhisattva Empress, but a maid beside her, who was also a wooden carving villain, with a figure as big as a puppy, and murmured: "Empress, that man last night was so hateful. We should bring disaster to him."
The old girl's body shivered and became a lump of wax. She didn't dare to move anymore. When she wondered if she had heard it wrong, the wood carving Bodhisattva spoke: "Cough... If you really want to bring disaster, you will bring disaster to the old man who sent me back this morning!"
At that moment, the old lady almost couldn't pee. She really heard clearly that it was the Bodhisattva who was talking! It turned out... this Bodhisattva who was with her day and night was actually alive!
The little maid from the wood carving asked in confusion: "Empress, why is this? The person in front is disrespectful to you, treats you as a bridge, tramples on you, and the one behind... is respectful to you, and has placed so much food and incense, but you want to bring disaster to him?"
The Woodcarving Bodhisattva sighed: "The fool in front of him doesn't believe me at all. Even if you bring disaster to him, he will not think... it is because of the disaster caused by last night's fault, but the latter... he believes in me. As long as he punishes him, he will think that he is serving me without his heart and will worship us more diligently. Everything is like this. It is useless for you to play the piano against a cow and kill it!"
When Lao Pizi talked about this, he said angrily: "Hero, the truth of this god is not as simple as we think! Those officials don't believe in the sacred tree at all. As for whether they have caused disasters to them, I don't know whether they have caused disasters to them, but... the people in the village believe in the sincerestness of the sacred tree, so... it is only meaningful to bring disasters to them."
Jiang Mingting was dizzy and couldn't believe it... There was such logic, but it seemed... there was another reason.
It seems... this so-called sacred existence is also about people's food. If you take it seriously, it will bring disaster. How many good men and women in the world are burning incense and praying every day, but they don't see any good rewards. It can be seen... it's the same old saying: People cannot treat too well, and dogs cannot feed them too much. This god... also knows the technique of sticking and dates, which hangs your slavery to serve it.
But... the fox head and woman's body monster are a god? Is this too fucking tactful?
"Is it true that I am immortal...that dog is also a god and a Bodhisattva?" Jiang Ming asked frowned.
"Bah!" Lao Pizi spat and said, "Hero, even if I am a god, it cannot be. Didn't you say... it still eats people? From this point of view, it cannot be a god! Don't think too evilly about it. Although I don't know what it is? But I believe... someone can see it."
"Who?" Jiang Ming asked with a frown.
Lao Pizi breathed a sigh of relief, pondered for a moment and said, "30 miles away from Huojia Village, there is a Zhangwang Village... The Baocun Fairy there is a white-haired old mouse with a wide range of knowledge... Knowing astronomy and geography, there is nothing it doesn't know..."
When Jiang Ming heard the words "White-haired Old Mouse", he was shocked. Those smelly mice were simply his nightmare! Now they have psychological shadows, mom! He also knows astronomy and geography. Isn't it the same thing as the fat mice who played with him?
"Ahem," Jiang Ming coughed lightly and asked with a frown: "What is the origin of that old mouse? Is there a bell tied to its tail that is the same as my neck?"
Lao Pizi was stunned by Jiang Ming's question and blinked and muttered: "Belly..."
"No, no, how can a mouse tie a bell on its tail?" It sighed in confusion: "Rats all live by stealing things. If they tie a bell, how can they steal things? Besides... who dares to tie a bell for it? That's the most powerful Baojiaxian within a radius of 100 miles!"
"Uh uh uh," Jiang Ming swallowed, his heart finally dropped a little, and continued to ask: "Then tell me what the guy is from?"
"What's the origin... Let me tell you this way. I'm old enough. I want to call it uncle. How old do you think it's old? That's a mouse of the same generation as my mother!" Lao Pizi muttered.
"Damn?" Jiang Ming slashed his mouth in surprise. Wouldn't that say... this has forced the mouse to live for at least a hundred years? He never thought that a stinky mouse could live for so long.
"Good man! If you can get it to help you, many things will be much easier, but..." Lao Pizi stopped talking.
"Just what?" Jiang Ming asked with a frown.
