smuggler

Chapter 30 Temple Fair
I wanted to refuse, but he grabbed my other hand and put it in it.

He chuckled lightly, and reminded him gently: "Go back quickly, the ever-burning light will be turned off if you don't leave."

I looked down at the ever-burning lamp, and was startled. The wick was getting weaker and weaker. It was obvious that the time was coming, and once the time passed, I would be powerless.

Regardless of the pain in his body, he looked around and walked back quickly while protecting the lamp.

At the door of the house, everything was as usual, Chu Yuan was still waiting, with an anxious expression on his face, I handed him the ever-burning lamp, and then said: "The soul has been found, and now I need to return my aunt's soul to her body."

I didn't dare to delay, so I hurriedly prepared a bowl, got a bowl of water and a pair of chopsticks.

I burned paper money by the bedside of the room, and I put the ever-burning lamp by the bedside.

This is my soul-drawing this time, and I am extremely nervous.

I picked up the chopsticks and glanced at Chu Yuan. He nodded slightly to me. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

Then I gently stirred the clear water in the bowl with chopsticks, and muttered something in my mouth: "The remnant soul leaves the body, the three souls return, the seven souls are completed, all the spirits return to their place, the spirit enters the body, and everything rejuvenates!"

I muttered nervously, let go of my hands, but the pair of chopsticks stood firmly in the middle of the bowl, and then splashed the clear water in the bowl on my aunt's face, calling my aunt's name in a low voice.

I glanced at it, and saw that the long-burning lamp on the side was turning from blue to yellow, and a faint shadow floated by, covering my aunt's body.

"Return to the Spirit!"

I scolded in a low voice, and my aunt suddenly trembled, and the snake scales on both sides of her cheeks fell off automatically.

At the same time, the chopsticks standing in the bowl fell to the ground with a "click".

I opened my eyes wide suddenly, as if I had exhausted all my strength, and felt that my whole body was about to fall, and the next moment, a hand firmly wrapped around my waist.

I looked at Chu Yuan gratefully.

"Why haven't you woken up yet?"

I supported Chu Yuan and glanced weakly at my aunt who was lying on the bed.

Chu Yuan said: "She's fine, but her soul has returned to her body, and she hasn't recovered yet."

After hearing this, my heart slowly fell, but I was like this. He said that he needed a good rest.

When I went back to my room and lay down, Chu Yuan turned into a black shadow and slipped into the snake bracelet, and said in a low voice: "The Liu family is building a snake temple. According to the rules of the snake temple, there should be a temple fair in these two days. Open your ghost eyes and take a look at the people of the Liu family."

I said suspiciously, "Why are you so concerned about the Liu family's affairs?"

Chu Yuan said in a slightly cold voice, "The Liu family may be targeting me."

I was even more confused. The Liu family and Chu Yuan should be at odds with each other, and they should have never met each other. How could Chu Yuan say that?

But this Liu family is dedicated to snake spirits, and Chu Yuan is also a snake spirit, maybe there is some connection here.

The current Chu Yuan is different from the past. It is inconvenient for him to reveal his real body, probably because he is afraid of scaring the snake.

When I woke up the next day and went out, I saw that my aunt had already got up, and she was sitting at the door of the main room in a daze.

I asked her if she still remembered what happened last night. My aunt shook her head and said in a daze that she had a dream last night.

I dreamed that a snake entered her room, and then I didn't know it. When I woke up, it was dawn, but I was weak and drowsy.

This is the phenomenon of physical weakness after the soul returns.

When I went out, I saw that all the snakes on the village road had disappeared, and the villagers were arguing noisyly when they saw the sun again.

While eating breakfast, my aunt also said in admiration: "Madam Liu is really capable. She said that as long as the snake temple is built, the snakes in our village will leave by themselves. As a result, as soon as the temple was built, all the snakes really entered. It's a mountain, this matter is really mysterious, it seems that the snake fairy has manifested."

It can be seen that my aunt admires the old lady Liu very much. Let alone her, all the discussions in the village are what the old lady said yesterday.

But there was a pimple in my heart, and I always felt that this was not a good thing.
Seeing that I didn't speak, my aunt said again: "By the way, I heard that at noon, I will go to the Snake Temple to hold a temple fair. Everyone in the village will go to offer incense and pray for the protection of the snake fairy. Then you will also go to offer incense sticks and get a taste of it." The fairy energy of the snake fairy!"

As soon as I heard that a temple fair was going to be held, I immediately remembered what Chu Yuan had said to me.

"I'm full!" Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, I stood up and prepared to go out: "Gu, I have something to go out for a while, I'll go directly to the Snake Temple later."

Seeing my reaction, my aunt was a little puzzled, and muttered something in her mouth.

Arriving at the place where Zhang Xianren lived, when he entered the courtyard gate, he was still playing with flowers and plants under the eaves.

"Daozhang Zhang!" I yelled.

Zhang Xianren glanced at me abruptly, turned around and walked into the main room.

I quickly chased after him: "Daozhang Zhang, I'm here to find something for you."

Zhang Xianren blew his beard and stared: "What's the matter with you, why didn't you find your smuggler!"

I bit the bullet and said, "It's about the Liu family!"

"Okay!" Zhang Xianren stopped me at the door, interrupted my words: "You can't enter the house, if you have anything to say, say outside the door."

I wanted to find out first, so I tentatively said, "Don't you think it's strange that the Liu family built a snake temple for the village at this time?"

Immortal Zhang smiled: "It drove away the plague of snakes in the village, and built roads and temples. This is a good thing!"

"Don't you think it's strange?"

Zhang Xianren gave me a blank look: "If you have anything to say, you can say it directly!"

"Uh..." I coughed dryly, and said in a low voice, "I suspect that the snake disaster in our village was caused by the Liu family."

Zhang Xianren's eyes became a little strange.

"The Liu family offered a snake fairy! If you have the ability to drive snakes, you also have the ability to control snakes."

I told Zhang Xianren that when Mrs. Ma was possessed by a snake and came to her door two days ago, the snake's eyeballs were completely black, as if it had been manipulated by humans.

I continued: "Of course, this is just speculation! You can open your ghost eyes, and when there will be a temple fair, you can see it."

Zhang Xianren looked like a human being, and asked with a half-smile: "Is that your snake man?"

My face was blushing, so I nodded in embarrassment.

At noon, the villagers ate in the courtyard of the ruined temple at the back of the mountain because the old lady Liu had a vegetarian feast.

The ruined temple has just been repaired, and the so-called temple fair is just a temple erection ceremony.

An incense burner as high as a person was placed in the temple, and all the villagers lined up to offer incense.

There were various kinds of poisonous snakes all over the village in the past two days. The Liu family promised in front of the villagers that once the snake temple was established, those snakes would leave.

Now that what she said has been fulfilled, some doubtful voices in the village have become convinced.

Therefore, no one objected to the construction of the snake temple in the village.

She even felt that the old lady Liu was a bodhisattva, and she was a bit introspective, because she offended the village and angered the snake fairy.

Now the snake temple is being built because of the great mercy of the old lady Liu, so that the villagers can wash away their sins.
