Chapter 255 Ghost King Statue
The farmyard has a good environment and is cleaned very clean. Although the house is not big, the conditions are good. Two soft Simmons and a color TV. The bathroom is shared and you have to queue up to take a bath. The owner of the house is a middle-aged man in his forties. His attitude is very enthusiastic, which makes us feel warm at home. After we moved in, the three of us started to draw talismans first, Xiao Ying helped us cut paper, and Dazuirong and I each painted their own.
Each person drew dozens of talismans. My wrists were so tired that my waist became soft and my waist was sore. It was just the evening meal time. The farmyard was equipped with food, which was a farm meal. The big hotel could not eat this kind of delicious food with a farm atmosphere. We ordered a few dishes, including red mushrooms, bamboo shoots, and fresh fish. I asked for a snake soup. Xiao Ying didn't dare to eat it, so he had to change to a mountain rabbit.
Dazuirong was obviously much more cheerful, and he didn't drink so hard when drinking. While discussing tomorrow's route in a low voice, he slowly drank the local Wuyishan wine. The dead girl couldn't get in and went to bed. We ate and drank until after 11 o'clock in the evening.
When I went back to sleep, I found that the hostess was kneeling in the yard to burn paper money. We didn't care. The customs in the north and south were different. Today might be a festival. When I was about to enter the house, I turned around and saw a stone man more than a half-leg high standing in front of the paper money. The carving was vivid and suddenly made me feel a strange feeling.
Maybe it was the sequelae left by the second-vein typhoon. When he saw this villain, he always felt something was wrong. When Dazuirong and Xiao Ying saw me stop, they both looked over and looked over there. Dazuirong also frowned, as if they had discovered something suspicious. He winked with me and walked over and asked the hostess: "Sister-in-law, what kind of god are you offering to?"
My sister-in-law raised her index finger and shrewd her lips with a nervous look, which meant she didn't want us to speak, and she waved her hand and told us to go back to the room as soon as possible.
Now we felt even more suspicious, so we stood behind her and didn't move until the paper money was burned. She muttered a few more words. When we saw that we were still there, we stood up and smiled and said, "Sorry, today is the birth of the Ghost King. You can't be distracted during worship. You must be sincere and have a good heart."
The three of us were all shocked and couldn't help but look at each other. The Ghost King's birth? I just don't know if the Ghost King she was talking about was Chen Yan.
I squatted down and looked at the stone villain and asked, "Sister-in-law, I have heard of a ghost king in Fujian in the north. It seems that he is not a god, but a Taoist priest, right?" The Taoist priest has a yarn, he is just a villain who raises ghosts!
The sister-in-law immediately became nervous, and she whispered again, hurriedly covered the stone villain with a piece of red cloth. She waved her hand to the front hall to eat. There were three guests in the courtyard, and they were already asleep at this time, and they seemed very quiet around.
My sister-in-law made us the most famous local Dahongpao tea, which is the tea produced in Jiulongke. She sat down and whispered to us: "Our local legend says that the Ghost King is a matchmaker between the world and the underworld, and a family protection god who protects the country and can manage people's lives and deaths. Every household here offers the Ghost King's spiritual seat. Every day on the first and fifteenth day of the day, burn incense and worship, he will also worship on his birthday."
This legend is a bit mysterious. He is just a professional ghost raising household. He has no idea how many people have harmed in his life. After his death, he was worshipped by the locals as the family god. What’s even more ridiculous is that he created a matchmaker between the human world and the underworld. He is not a thread, but a soul-catching rope. However, my buddy really admires this old fox. He did evil things in his lifetime, but did not leave any infamy after his death, but was respected.
I smiled and asked her, "That stone villain is the spirit position of the Ghost King?"
My sister-in-law shook her head and said to us: "The spiritual position is made of wooden signs, and every household is worshipping it, and it is not effective. The statue of the ghost king, a few years ago, was brought out from the mountain. After he brought it back, he suddenly died of illness at night. Later, we found the local Yin and Yang gentleman and looked at it and said that this might be the statue of the ghost king. Because there was a legend for a long time that the ghost king would become a boy after his death and live in the mountain. This guest might have obtained this statue by accident and was punished for being disrespectful to the ghost king.
"We were frightened at that time and wanted to send the statue of the Ghost King. Mr. Yin and Yang said that it is easy to ask God to send him to God, so let me worship him well in the future. I have been worshipping him at home for several years. Don't say, this statue is very powerful. My man fell down the hillside when he went to the mountain to pick tea last year and sent him to the hospital. The doctor said that it was no longer possible. I knelt in front of the statue and begged for a night. The next day my man came back to life!"
The three of us looked at each other, and thought that this was not necessarily the power of the Ghost King. Many patients who were on the verge of death would have miracles.
Seeing that we didn't believe it, my sister-in-law said, "My son had leukemia last year and asked for medical treatment everywhere that he couldn't cure it. I knelt in front of the statue of the Ghost King for three days and three nights. A month later, my son recovered from his illness. He went to several hospitals for a follow-up examination, and they all said that this was a miracle and it was rare."
This matter is indeed very magical, and the three of us began to believe it. I said I could take a closer look at this statue of god. My sister-in-law shook her head hard and said to us: "It's not that I'm stingy and don't let you see it, but I'm afraid that the Ghost King will admit his life and bring you any disaster."
I said we were not afraid, so I looked at it from a distance and would never find any trouble. My sister-in-law saw that we were not like bad people, so she nodded, turned on all the lights in the yard, and removed the red cloth. We stood three meters away, squatted on the ground and looked at the stone statue carefully. She sighed that the craftsman who carved the stone statue was so amazing. She actually carved it like a real person. If you put some paint on it, it would look like a living girl!
Why is his uncle a girl? I suddenly realized something wrong when I saw this. The Ghost King is a man, and there are two small braids like garlic on the stone statue, which is definitely a girl. She also has this appearance and has no boyish characteristics. Looking at her fingers again, she instantly got goose bumps all over her body.
The tips of the ten fingers are pointed, without any trace of carving. This is a part that is difficult to deal with in stone carvings. Generally, the gaps between the fingers will be somewhat rough, but the sanding between the two fingers is very smooth, and there is no difference between the real fingers. Looking at the lips and ears carefully, I found that Dazui Rong and Xiao Ying both widened their eyes. That was definitely not carved. If such a fine stone man could be made, this craftsman would be a god!
