Chapter 131 Chapter 49: The Temple of the Insect King

Liu Ye saw that my complexion was not very good.I was sweating again, and I was a little worried, so I quickly handed over a piece of facial tissue and motioned for me to wipe off the sweat first, so as not to catch a cold again when the wind blows. Da Ya and Li Chun secretly squeezed their eyes at me, and they covered their mouths and laughed secretly. I squinted my eyes and glanced at Da Ya, Da Ya restrained himself a little, and then remembered to ask me what happened just now, why did I sleep so hard, and couldn't wake up no matter how much I screamed. I don't know how much strength Da Ya used just now, but I couldn't knock me out of the concussion, and I still have a dull pain until now. over again.

When I talked about the situation in the dream, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, Liu Ye frowned and said nothing.Both Da Ya and Li Chun also opened their mouths, dumbfounded. After a long time, Da Ya froze his head.Only then did he wake up, and spit on the ground vigorously: "Damn it, it's so fucking evil, and we still said, why is it sleeping like a dead dog, and it can't wake up if you bark? What? I was still covering my head, thinking you were stunned from sleep!" Speaking of this, I seemed to think of something again, frowned, and smashed my tongue at me: "I didn't mean you, come to Liang, you say you dream, so do it, why do you make me so useless in your dream? , I think we are also brave and strong, brave and good at fighting, why am I so useless and unlucky in your dream?"

Lichun pursed his lips and smiled at Da Ya: "Brother Da Ya, have you heard of it? Dreams are all reversed, good is bad, bad is good, maybe Lai Liang is usually jealous of you, so I only dreamed of you in my dream. Ugly you like that." When Da Ya heard what Li Chun said, his eyes rolled, and he gave Li Chun a thumbs up: "Sister Li Chun is beautiful, and her words are pleasant to listen to. I always heard that the person who dares to tell the truth now is Less and less. Now that I think about it, it's bullshit!" I saw Da Ya's neck was stiff, seven of them were dissatisfied, and eight of them were displeased, and I "hummed" at him: "There are very few people who dare to tell the truth, I don't know, but like you, no matter what you say There are not many people who listen to it as the truth!"

Da Ya just wanted to deal with me a few more words, I quickly got up and walked towards the bumpkin, without giving him a chance to retaliate. As I was walking, I recalled the scene in my dream, walked back and forth on the bumpkin by feeling, and finally stared at the puddle dug yesterday in a daze, closed my eyes and felt it carefully, there should be nothing wrong, the dream The haunted building in the movie must be here. They didn't make a sound when they saw me walking up and down on the bumpkin, and they didn't dare to disturb me. It wasn't until I stopped that Liu Ye asked me if I found anything.

I looked back at Liu Ye: "I think the haunted building in my dream seems to be here, why don't we go to the town and buy some vinegar, and pour it to see if it works. If it doesn't work, let's find another way." Liu Ye was startled after hearing what I said.Then he laughed and pointed to the trees where we rested just now. I just noticed that there were two plastic buckets side by side under the tree. Looking at the eyes of the willow leaves, I walked over with some doubts. I unscrewed the lid and sniffed carefully. It turned out to be rice vinegar. At this time, Lichun told me that she and Liu Ye went to the restaurants in the town to buy them at a high price when the day was just dawn.

I smiled gratefully at Liu Ye and didn't say anything. This scene happened to be caught by Lichun. Lichun looked at me sideways, coughed twice on purpose, and said mockingly: "Eyes and eyes are so enviable! Sigh, you say this person is different. I have been Those who grew up eating cucumber tails have a hard life, and they are not rare!" Liu Ye heard Li Chun's implication, blushed, took a sneak peek at me, then turned around and talked to Li Chun. Three women in one drama, two women can also act in a drama! Seeing that the situation was not good, I hurriedly greeted Da Ya and escaped with two vinegar buckets.

We evenly poured two buckets of rice vinegar on the "gray back". Although this "gray back" cannot be soaked in water, the vinegar just poured down.Just like being poured into a sponge, it seeps in with a "swish". It seems that it is really a bit of tofu in brine-one thing drops one thing. Looking at the meaning, it is probably really interesting. After pouring two full buckets of rice vinegar into it, less than five minutes later, the "gray back" began to deflate outwards, that is, a layer of white foam was soaked out in the time of one cigarette, and the bustling gathering together.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the bubbles gradually disappeared again. Da Ya and I estimated that it was almost the same, so we tried to dig with a shovel. Before we used much force in our hands, the shovel head seemed to be cut into tofu. As above, it cut directly into the gray back. Da Ya and I were overjoyed. We turned the handle of the shovel in our hands, and then pushed it upwards vigorously. With one shovel, we dug out a large mass of plaster, which was soft and sticky, and the "gray back" layer was a foot thick.But it didn't take long before a large hole with a diameter of nearly one meter was dug out.

After digging through the "grey back" layer, some gravels were continuously dug out below. The stones are not much bigger than corn kernels and are very fine, so it is easy to dig. It is estimated that after digging about half a meter, the shovel finally touched the ground. When it came to a hard object, it should be a stone by touch. After Da Ya and I cleaned up the surrounding soil, there was indeed a broken stone pile underneath, so I squatted down and took a look.It feels like a big stone tablet is buried underneath. Seeing that we had dug something here, Lichun and Liuye stopped joking, and surrounded them hand in hand. They were also very surprised when they saw the stele.

Da Ya and I shook our arms and continued to dig. Unexpectedly, the stele was so big. We didn't rest for a while. We dug for more than three hours. It wasn't until noon that the stele was finally seen. The stele was only discovered after it was exposed. It is not as good as how it was done. The stele was inserted upside down in the ground, with the base of the stele buried at the top and the head of the stele at the bottom.The body of the stele is more than three meters high and less than one meter wide.Except for the slightly damaged cloud patterns engraved on the head of the stele, the rest of the parts are well preserved. The front and back of the stele body are engraved with text. After a cursory look, I couldn't recognize what was written.

Da Ya pointed at the stele base and exclaimed: "Wang Ba Tuo stone stele, this thing seems to be exquisite! It should be something in the temple, why do you think this stele is turned upside down? Now this is really Wang Ba turned over!" In fact, I have seen it a long time ago, but this thing is not bastard at all, but called "赑屃" (pronounced bixi), also known as "Baxia", one of the nine sons of the dragon, it looks like a turtle and can bear weight , loves writing, and likes to be in the limelight. You can usually see it carrying a stele in temples, ancestral halls, and tombs. Although it looks very similar to Wang Ba, there are many differences. Bixi has a row of teeth, while turtles have a row of teeth. No, there are also differences in the number and shape of the carapace between the underarm and the turtle. Legend has it that in ancient times, Bi Xi often carried three mountains and five mountains on his back to make waves in rivers, lakes and seas.Later Dayu subdued it when he was controlling the flood.It followed Dayu's command, pushed mountains and dug ditches, dredged rivers, and made great contributions to water control.After the flood was subdued, Dayu was worried that it would run wild again, so he moved a huge stone tablet that pierced the sky and made it unable to walk casually under the pressure. Liu Ye has been looking at the stone tablet on the head and feet, and carefully cleaned off the soil on the top of the tablet, only then can he see that there are exquisite lotus flowers and lotus petals carved on the four sides of the tablet, and two long dragons are also carved on both sides. . Liu Ye pointed to this stele and told us that this stele should be from the Yuan Dynasty, that is, from the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty.This can be seen from the pattern on the stele base. On the stele bases of the Tang Dynasty, the carvings of lotus petals would be very close, but after the Yuan Dynasty, the distance between the two lotus petals would be much larger. Hearing what she said, we also took a closer look, but it was just for fun. We didn't pay attention to the stele carvings of the Tang Dynasty, so we couldn't compare them, but we had to admire what she said. Even if you have knowledge and culture, compared with us, even if you are well-informed, you will not be able to accept it. After Da Ya cleaned up the soil on the front of the stele, Liu Ye took a look at it, and then told us that it was engraved on it: "General Tian Cao Gu Yi". "General Tiancao? Who is this man?" Da Ya and Li Chun asked Liu Ye in unison. Liu Ye shook her head, and said with some embarrassment: "For a while, I couldn't figure out who General Cao is today, but it should be the title of a general." "Tian Cao?" As soon as I heard these two words, my head buzzed. I shook my dizzy head, looked at them, and told them that I knew who "General Tian Cao" was. "General Tian Cao" is exactly the "Lord of Worms", the God of Worms in charge of the world's bugs!Only folk villages enshrine his incense, praying that he can bless the fields without pests.Zong Wangshen's real name is Liu Mang. He was a famous anti-gold general in the Southern Song Dynasty, and he commanded the famous "eight-character army" (all the soldiers in the army have the eight characters "serve the country with heart and swear to kill gold thieves" tattooed on their faces). " and "kidnapper horse", made illustrious military exploits. Later, he was stripped of his military power and changed to Zhijingzhou Prefecture.During his tenure, he rectified the fields and controlled the floods, and did a lot of good things for the people.Because of his meritorious service in repelling locusts and fighting disasters, he was later named "Yangweihou, General Tiancao" by Song Lizong, and became the king of insects after his death. If it is said that the villagers in the past built a temple of the King of Insects in order to repel locusts and fight disasters, it is also reasonable to say that, but this stone tablet weighs three or four tons at least, and it is buried here upside down. , and sealed with stones and gray backs, this is not the way to worship and worship, it is blasphemy to do so, not only will you not get blessings, but it will backfire and attract pests. what…… I suddenly thought of the scene in the dream again, and remembered the flat forehead that suddenly turned into the "Insect King Temple". Could it be that there really is an Insect King Temple here? Thinking of this, I couldn't help being a little excited, I waved my hand at them, tried my best to suppress the excitement in my heart, and glanced at each of them: "I suddenly had a guess just now, that the reason why this stele was turned upside down was not accidental, but because someone did it on purpose." made." "It can be seen from the stones and gray backs above that the people who did this were definitely not ordinary civilians, nor were they buried in a hurry. I didn't figure out what the purpose of doing this was at first, but I Suddenly, I thought of a possibility, that is, 'thousands of insects are crushing my body'!" Looking at their expressions, I knew that they didn't understand very well. After thinking about it, I told them that, to put it bluntly, the "Insect King God" was buried upside down in the ground, and the top was sealed and airtight. In order to offend the insect king god and make him angry, this will attract insect disasters, and the holes everywhere here must be spider holes.Tens of thousands of spiders have burrowed and lived underground, which will naturally destroy the geomantic omen here, and break the earth veins here. The trick of using insects to break geomantic omen has been tried since ancient times, and it has been tried and tested. As soon as I finished speaking, Liu Ye suddenly let out an exclamation of "ah", and then nodded at me incessantly. Seeing that we were all staring at her, Liu Ye realized that she had lost her composure just now, smiled embarrassingly, and said to me: "If you hadn't mentioned the Zongwang Temple just now, I would have almost forgotten it. I also read a story about using the Chongwang Temple to break Fengshui, but I didn’t know much about Fengshui at that time, so I didn’t take it seriously after reading it. What you said just now made me suddenly I remembered it, so I was a little surprised.” After all, Lichun was still young, and was extremely curious about such strange things. When Liu Ye said there was a story about it, she called out one by one, asking Liu Ye to tell her quickly.Da Ya and I also wanted to hear it, so we motioned her to come and listen. Liu Ye looked at us, thought for a while, and told us that she had read a record in a book before. It is said that there is a mountain on the north bank of the Yehe River. The mountain is very round, like a steamed bun. There is no grass growing on the mountain, so people call it Beiguang Mountain.On the opposite side of Beiguang Mountain, there is a big ditch, and on both sides of the ditch are two low Mangangzi Mountains. At that time, some people who knew Fengshui said that the two Mangangzi Mountains were two unborn dragons, one was a stone dragon and the other was an earth dragon. These two dragons were still young, so they walked day and night. Stretching his neck and stretching his waist, the day is an inch long, and the night is half a foot long, trying to reach Beiguang Mountain first.Because whoever's dragon head crosses the Yehe River first and reaches Beiguang Mountain, whoever can be reincarnated as the real dragon emperor. But before the dragon head reached the edge of the Yehe River, the Empress Dowager Cixi heard about it, because at that time there were Boxers everywhere, killing foreigners, killing corrupt officials, and attacking states and counties, which made Cixi worry all day long. Chong Chong was restless, and after knowing this, she felt even more angry, so she sent a very powerful Mr. Yin Yang and ordered him to go to Yehe Town to catch the two evil dragons. After that Fengshui master came here, he first dug a four-eye well on the hillside of Shilong in the east to cut off the dragon's blood; The worm crushes the body, preventing it from elongating. It's strange to say that the two Huanggangzi mountains that had been growing in the past really didn't grow any longer, and they haven't reached Beiguang Mountain, and it is said that until now, the four-eyed well and the insect king on the two dragon waists The ruins of the temple are still there, and it should be not far from us, in the mountains across the river. After listening to Liu Ye's story, everyone believed in my judgment. So it seems that what Liu Ye said here and Beiguang Mountain is using the same routine - tens of thousands of insects pressing down on the body, and the location of this stele is naturally the "feng shui eye" of this ancient city of Yehe.
