Patriarch enjoys meal

Longze is a small town near Xincheng, with a small population, and most of the houses are two or three-story self-built small buildings, not to mention the street planning. They often get into dead ends when they walk, and it takes a long time to find the right one. the way.

Zhou Weiran and Tao Jiang have been walking around the streets and alleys of Longze for a long time. The folk customs here are simple and the Feng Shui is suitable, and there is nothing wrong with it.

As for the temple, they searched for a long time, but they didn't even see any buildings related to the temple.

Afraid of bewildering others, the two dared not ask the locals for directions.

"We won't go to the wrong place, right?" If he didn't believe that Shen Feifei was incapable of lying under Tao Jiang's power of the beast, Zhou Jiran would have suspected that they had been cheated.

Tao Jiang put the map that he had been holding in his hand into his pocket. The terrain and buildings here were so complicated that even a certain German map could not plan the route correctly.

It was already noon, Tao Jiang suggested: "Let's go eat first."

After walking for a long time, Zhou was already tired, so he nodded in agreement with the proposal.

Longze is a small place, there are only two or three small restaurants on the central street, Zhou already carefully shopped around, and finally chose the cleanest one to eat.

Although the restaurant is not big, the food is still delicious and the portion is sufficient. The two of them ate half of it, and the next table was also seated.

Zhou already noticed them because the family of three looked so out of tune with Longze.

The couple are not young anymore. Although the clothes are exquisite and their hair is carefully taken care of, they still can't hide the traces of time.Sitting opposite them was the couple's daughter, about 20 years old, who had been looking at her mobile phone since she sat down. Looking at her eyebrows and eyes, it seemed that she was depressed and was trying very hard to suppress her emotions.

After the family of three ordered and sat down, except for the daughter who was looking at the mobile phone, the couple had been wiping the table with a rough roll of paper on the table, talking while wiping.

"This restaurant is too small, there will be no hygiene problems, right?"

"It's not easy to find a place to eat in such a small place, it's just a meal, bear with it."

"Aren't I afraid that eating bad food will affect the pregnancy? Forget it, you're right, it's just one meal. After paying homage to the fairy queen, we'll go back to the city directly."

......

Zhou Jiran took a look at them, it was really giving them pillows when they were sleepy, they were pregnant and worshiping immortals, they just met 'fellow travellers'.

Before their food was served, Zhou Jiran went to chat with them with a kind smile.He also fabricated a sister who was infertile for a long time after marriage.

The older sister who had been infertile for many years paid homage to the family temple and was blessed with a son. Because the elder sister had difficulty in giving birth and her brother-in-law had to take care of her personally, he, his own brother, came to fulfill the wish on behalf of the older sister. However, he came to Longze for the first time and found I didn't find a place for a long time.Listening to their conversation, it seems that they are going to the same place, so I want to ask them to show me the way.

Although it was made up temporarily, the story is still quite complete. Zhou Jiran has a lovable face again. As long as he wants, he can chat with strangers in a very short time.

After hearing what Zhou Weiran said, Mrs. Bai did not have any doubts, and she took the initiative to explain to him: "The family temple is the local people in Longze, and it refers to the temple outside. Those of us who are famous from other places, They are all directly called Earth Immortals, referring to the gods in the temple."

immortal?Zhou Jiran didn't take this title seriously, but he had a curious look on his face: "I feel that Auntie is very familiar with Longze, have you been here before?"

"The last time I came here was more than 20 years ago." Mrs. Bai looked a bit nostalgic, "This place has changed too much..."

Mr. Bai interjected: "It's good that the Earth Immortal hasn't changed, it's better than Guanyin's gift! Speaking of which, our girl is still begging here..."

Bai Rui slapped the phone on the dining table, snorted coldly, "You guys begged for me here? Then I won't go home anymore, just 'recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors' and go back here."

It's as if she was picked up from the temple by their husband and wife, there must be a limit to superstition!

"Oh!" Mrs. Bai glared at Mr. Bai, took her daughter's hand and coaxed softly: "You also know that your father can't talk, don't be angry..."

In this situation, it is not appropriate to start a conversation anymore. After Zhou Jiran thanked Mr. Bai, he left the restaurant with Tao Jiang.

According to the route pointed out by the Bai family, the two quickly found the family temple that Shen Feifei was talking about - a miniature temple only half a meter high.

Such a small roadside temple, less than one square meter, is usually dedicated to land lords and land wives, but this one does not follow the usual path.

Squatting inside was a thin mud-tired cat.

I can recognize that the thing inside is a cat statue, not a picture made by it, because this thing is so familiar.

The thin and weak body, the weird and disgusting fine hair attached to the outermost layer... Zhou already took it out with a tissue pad, turned it over, and found that what was falling on the back was indeed a mouse Tail.

This thing is exactly the same as the monster in Shen Feifei's stomach.

The small temple is built with earth bricks, and its shape is very simple. There is only an arched temple gate on the front, and a few blue tiles are covered on the top. There are neither couplets nor plaques. It was stuffed to the brim.

"There's something inside." Tao Jiang pointed to the base of the mud tire.

Zhou Jiran turned it over and saw that there was indeed a circle protruding from the bottom of the statue of cat and mouse. He shook it, but didn't hear any sound.In this case, either the inside is empty, or the inside has been filled to the brim.

"You need to find a tool to pry it open." Zhou Jiran looked at the tight circle marks under the statue, feeling a little embarrassed.This temple is built at the outermost part of the Longze building complex, and there are few people. Although it is convenient for them to move, it is difficult to borrow a sharp tool now.

The small temple stood on the side of the uneven road, surrounded by some free-growing low shrubs. Tao Jiang searched for a long time, and finally broke off a branch, and the fracture was barely sharp.

Although the tool was different from what he had imagined, it was better than nothing. Zhou already took the branch and squatted on the ground to pry the mud statue.It's just that the ring under the statue fit too well, the branch was almost broken and it didn't seem to be loose. In the end, Zhou simply stepped on one end of the statue with his feet and went into battle with both hands.

When the Bai family arrived, they saw this sturdy picture of the "Killing God Statue".

Mrs. Bai's angry lips trembled, the old saying is true, people don't look like they know each other, they don't know their hearts!This young man looked innocent and well-behaved, but he turned out to be a destructive liar!

"Stop! Don't destroy the statue of the earth fairy!" Mrs. Bai ran towards this side with her high-heeled shoes 'da da da', and kept shouting as she ran, "Stop! You will be punished by heaven for doing this!"

Seeing the delicate and exquisite Mrs. Bai shouting, the voice was shrill and piercing, Zhou Ji was so frightened that his hands shook, and the broken branch touched a point on the statue, and the circle of base below fell off with a 'click'.

When the Bai family and his wife ran to the front of the temple and were about to condemn him for his extremely bad behavior of destroying the statue of the earth fairy, Zhou already pointed the gap under the statue at them.

"Ugh—" Mrs. Bai and Mr. Bai only glanced at each other, and immediately backed up a few steps with each other's support, squatting on the side of the road and throwing up crazily.

Although Bai Rui, who came a step behind, didn't face the impact like her parents did, she covered her mouth when she saw the things on the ground clearly, her eyes were full of shock.

A baby was stuffed inside the statue that was only as long as a forearm.

It should be said that it is a baby skeleton.

It was loaded upside down, with the skull squeezed into the gap at the bottom of the statue, and the thin skeleton was like a second container inside the clay tire, which also contained some furry objects. As Zhou put it in The movement on the ground, two blacks slipped from the eye sockets of the skull.

A cat's tail and a mouse's tail, one on the left and one on the right, each occupying an eye socket.

It is self-evident what is stuffed in the skeleton.

After vomiting up all the food they ate at Longze Restaurant, the Bai family couple recovered a little.

Madam Bai asked with a pale face, "This is... is this an Earth Immortal?"

Bai Rui covered her nose and said disgustedly: "This kind of thing has the nerve to be called a fairy?! I said long ago that feudal superstition is not good! You still say that this temple is very effective...Dad, I am you here Asked?"

Mr. Bai was rinsing his mouth with mineral water. When he heard his daughter say this, the water almost choked his nose. He said in embarrassment: "...how can I ask for it? Of course you are me and your mother ...Then what, it was born."

"Hmph, now you know! Don't make foolish things about praying to God and worshiping Buddha! Believe in science!" Bai Rui gave her father a white look, and continued, "If it weren't for these two handsome guys who have the courage to break the superstition, you would still come to worship. What! I don’t know what I’m praying for..."

Before Bai Rui finished speaking, he saw the handsome guy who had the courage to break the superstition took out a yellow talisman from his bag, and wrapped it on the statue neatly.

No, it turns out that you are also engaged in feudal superstition!Bai Rui was shocked!

Looking at the little girl's complicated eyes, Zhou Jiran said solemnly: "You are right, feudal superstition is not a thing, you must believe in science! You should consult an obstetrician and gynecologist about pregnancy and miscarriage."

After he finished speaking, he raised his finger and lightly touched the talisman wrapped on the statue, and lightly recited the Sutra with his eyes closed.

While Bai Rui was speechless, the statue under the talisman made a tooth-piercing 'click' sound, which lasted for a moment and then disappeared.Then the Bai family watched in amazement that the clay statue wrapped in the bones began to jump slightly, and finally jumped up and stood up by itself!He began to lean towards the temple gate, as if he wanted to return to the temple and continue to deceive the world into accepting offerings.

It made a lot of noise, but Zhou Jiran didn't open his eyes, and directly tapped the statue with the cut branch that had just pried open the gap. Rolled twice on the ground and didn't move.

I opened my eyes after reciting the Sutra once, and the statue at this time was quite different from before. The hollow statue that was stuffed was much looser now, and the baby skeleton rolled out of it with a clatter. The raw bones were stained with the loess on the ground, so it was safe to put them in the soil.

The three members of the Bai family were dumbfounded from the beginning of Zhou Weiran's chanting.Especially Bai Rui, seeing the black air drifting out of the statue following the scriptures, she felt that her worldview was also drifting away.

"This... what kind of spell is this?!" Isn't it really a special effect! ?Did the statue move by itself just now?The movement of turning over and standing up by oneself!Is there really no transparent fishing line to pull?Are you really not a juggler?

Bai Rui's heart roared like a tsunami.

The talisman attached to the statue ignited spontaneously without fire, and the white ashes were carried by the black air and flew into the air.Zhou already looked at the direction in which they drifted away, watching these tortured souls return to heaven and earth.

"It's not a magic spell," Zhou Jiran said while digging out the bones in the clay statue with a branch, "It's just memorized and silently recited the scriptures for salvation."

Even if you use such a calm tone and an attitude as if you just recited an ancient poem from a junior high school textbook, you can't cover up the vision just now!

Holding her shattered scientific outlook, Bai Rui complained frantically in her heart, but was speechless.

"It turns out that the master is here to clean up the earth fairy... this family temple." Although she was tricked into pointing the way here, Mrs. Bai's attitude was very respectful. Both of them are grateful now. The master came here before them, and his family must have worshiped this fake fairy... Who knows what terrible consequences will happen after worshiping this kind of evil thing stuffed with bones!

"The words I talked to you before are not all false." Zhou Jiran explained, "Although the person who is pregnant is not my sister, there is indeed a woman who is pregnant because of the family temple, and it is considered a 'birth' in the end. Something came out."

What does it mean that a 'thing' is born?The Bai family didn't understand what else a person could produce besides children.

"The reason why it is a thing," Zhou said, pointing to the statue lying on the ground, "is because it looks exactly like this so-called 'Earth Immortal'."
