"What is it?" Looking at the old man's surprised look, I couldn't help but ask.
"A human face!" the old man said lightly. "There was a human face on that stone. Later, after seeing the person, the face disappeared. Of course, this is just everyone's rumor. No one knows whether it is true or not.
Know."
"In addition to the face, the origin of the stone is also very strange. The whole stone was charred black, and a large part of it was buried in the soil. There were no traces of it rolling around! So some people said that it fell from the sky.
The sacred stone came down to bless everyone. After hearing this, everyone began to worship the stone. Maybe the real sacred stone came to this area. Since then, the weather in this area has been smooth, and the people have lived a prosperous and well-fed life.
Life."
"Therefore, everyone keeps the tradition of enshrining the sacred stone and worshiping the sacred stone during holidays! Originally there was a festival here called the Divine Stone Festival, which was dedicated to this stone."
"Over time, everyone would go to the sacred stone to make a wish if they had any problems, and the sacred stone really fulfilled everyone's wishes. In this way, the sacred stone became not only the belief of people in our town, but also the people around us.
I will come to visit you too.”
"Since the sacred stone is in our village, our village has made a rule that no matter which family marries a wife or daughter, they must go to the sacred stone to pray for peace. This custom has continued for many years, until the sacred stone was dug up, everyone still
Emotion."
"But there is water under the sacred stone, and we have to dig it out. If there is no water, then everyone near us will die! In the end, the sacred stone resisted everything and gave everyone in our village hope to survive."
Having said this, I saw the old man's eyes flashing with admiration for the sacred stone.
This legend is indeed very appropriate, and it is consistent with the legend that a stone turned into a sacred stone and became a legend respected by everyone. However, most of these legends were fabricated by later generations to beautify the sacred stone. This statement is too plain and probably inaccurate.
So I asked again, "Grandpa Zhang, what is the other legend?"
The old man thought for a while and said, "Another legend is that the righteous way kills demons and protects the people with fossils! This legend has the color of a fairy tale, but it is also spread from the mouths of the old people about the origin of the sacred stone in our village."
"The background of the story is the same as the previous one. There is a drought here and there is no rain every year, causing the nearby villagers to have no harvest. It is said that the reason for the drought is because a strange animal appeared here. The animal looked like a bird.
, but it’s not a bird! It has a human face, but it has four eyes and human ears, but its body is the body of a bird.”
When the old man said this, he took a puff of cigarette, and then smiled and said, "Of course, this is just a story, and I am just explaining the story. I think this kind of animal is unlikely to exist."
I said calmly, "No, what exists is the Yong, a strange beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas! According to records in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, wherever this animal appears, drought will occur."
As soon as I said this, several people looked at each other. It was obvious that they found it difficult to believe in the existence of this kind of animal.
But I didn't dwell on this issue. I just said to the old man, "Grandpa Zhang, please continue."
The old man hummed and continued, "The animal didn't hurt anyone at that time, and many people saw it! Some knowledgeable people said that the drought here was related to the strange bird, so they chased the bird away, but no matter how they chased it away,
They couldn't drive them away. At this time, some people said that the animals were spiritual and they had to ask Taoist priests to drive them away and then pray for rain, so that the weather here could be controlled.
Okay."
"Later, someone invited a Taoist priest from Kunlun Mountain to perform rituals to drive away the drought beasts. The Taoist priest had an immortal spirit and looked like a living god. When he came here, he saw the problem!
So they started to raise the altar and fight with the strange bird, and their fight lasted for seven days and seven nights! During these seven days and seven nights, the situation changed suddenly, with thunder and rainstorms all the time. No one knew how well the Taoist priest could fight with that thing.
What happened, no one knows whether Taoist Master won or lost."
"It wasn't until seven days later that the rain stopped, and everyone came to look for the Taoist priest! But where the Taoist priest was doing his work, the Taoist priest was no longer there, but there was a big stone. Everyone didn't know how such a big stone could appear out of thin air.
A big stone, an old man with some experience at that time said that the sacred stone was made by the Taoist priest. He fought with the strange bird for seven days and seven nights. He did not kill the strange bird, but just suppressed it. And his method of suppressing it was
He turned his body into stone and held it here."
"In order to commemorate the greatness of the Taoist priest, everyone enshrined the sacred stone! Praying to the Taoist priest to bless the country and the people. Sure enough, after that, the weather in this area really went smoothly. Over time, everyone became more convinced that the sacred stone was the Taoist priest. That's it.
, enshrining the sacred stone has become a must-do in our area."
At this point, the story is over! The old man put down the cigarette butt in his hand and said with a smile, "Of course, these are the stories passed down by the older generation! We have no way of verifying whether they have any effect. Anyway, I think
There is nothing wrong with having faith while living in this world, and there is nothing wrong with having respect for all things, what do you think? Mr.
I cupped my hands and said to the old man, "Yes, Grandpa Zhang is right. To live, one must have faith."
While we were talking, I also compared the two stories told by the old man, and I got the answer I wanted! As I guessed, that sacred stone really suppressed things.
Only the sacred stone that suppresses things can suppress the evil spirits of the past and influence the evil spirits of the past! It must be said that the Taoist priest who came down from Kunlun Mountain was really a divine man. He not only solved the problems in this area, but also
We have given everyone such a sacred place for worship!
After a conversation with the old man, I got the answer I wanted. After we had dinner, we said goodbye to the old man and the bearded family and left.
They sent me outside the yard, and I asked them to go back!
Fatty Wu asked me, "Mr. Li, where should we go next?"
"Go and have a look at the place where the sacred stone fell! Look at the feng shui of that place, and see how that place is related to the strange things in the town."
"Related? Are the events in the town related to the sacred stone?"
I said with certainty, "I didn't know before, but after listening to the old man's narration, I was sure that the two were directly related. In the old man's narration just now, the second story talked about the appearance of Yong.
It is true that droughts occur, but there are actually reasons why droughts occur."
"Yong is an ancient divine beast, and its duty is to guard monsters. Most of the monsters it guards are sucked by the essence of the earth. After the essence of the earth is sucked, it will cause an imbalance of yin and yang, and the feng shui will be blocked. Therefore, disasters will occur in that place, and sucking it is the reason.
The appearance of monsters from the Lord will cause droughts. The appearance of monsters in the form of vomiting will cause floods. Therefore, the appearance of Yong is not that Yong has caused trouble to this place. In fact, it is just to tell the locals that a monster is here.
of."
Fatty Wu suddenly realized, "So, the three-headed monster you saw is the beast that caused disaster here? Really?" "What is it?" Looking at the old man's surprised look, I couldn't help but ask.
"A human face!" the old man said lightly. "There was a human face on that stone. Later, after seeing the person, the face disappeared. Of course, this is just everyone's rumor. No one knows whether it is true or not.
