Chapter 26 Xia Ling Has an Accident

The bronze statue of the land father-in-law is not big, about twenty centimeters high and ten centimeters wide. Because it is so rusted, its appearance can no longer be seen clearly. It can only be seen that it looks like a short and fat little old man.With a long beard, a fat body, and a crooked cane in his hand, I don't need to guess, I know it is the land god.

The land god has various titles, including Uncle Gong, Dabogong, Fude Zhengshen, Fude Lord, Land Father, Land Uncle, Ford Lord, Land Lord, Landlord, Land Lord, Ford, Earth Lord, Land, Tubo, Tuzheng, Sheshen, Shegong, Sheguan, etc. belong to the lowest level of gods.

In folk belief, land gods vary from place to place and have term limits.Even after the death of a virtuous person, God can be named the god of the land.For example, in Pu Songling's "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", there is a ghost of "Wang Liulang" who drowned in the river. He was quite loving and could not bear to use a woman holding a baby as a substitute. The town's land god.

In folk belief, most of the gods have a clear origin, but the origin of the land god is many, there are different opinions, and there are too many legends to enumerate. Here are two examples.

One theory is: Zhang Fude, an official of the Zhou Dynasty, was born on February 36, the second year of King Wu of Zhou. At the age of [-], there was a poor family who built a stone house surrounded by four large stones to worship. Soon, they changed from poverty to wealth. Fude Zhengshen", so businessmen often worship it for business development.

Another theory is: During the Zhou Dynasty, Zhang Fude (or Zhang Mingde), a domestic servant of a senior official, his master went to a distant place to become an official, leaving behind a young daughter in the family. Zhang Mingde took his daughter to find his father. On the way to death.At the end of his life, the nine characters "Nantianmen Great Immortal Fude Zhengshen" appeared in the air, and they were titled as loyal servants. The doctor recited his loyalty and built a temple to worship him. King Wu of Zhou was moved and said: "A heart like this can be called a doctor." Therefore, there are people who wear the prime minister's hat in the public land.

Because of the low godhood and low-level beliefs, most earth temples are simple in shape. The simple ones are placed under trees or by the roadside, with two stones as the walls and one as the roof. They can become earth temples, commonly known as "Lei" type earth temples.

Although the god of the earth is not high, but because he belongs to the city god, he is in charge of the household registration of the deceased in the village, and he is the administrative god of the underworld.Therefore, the custom in many areas of the Han nationality is that everyone is born with a "temple king's land" - that is, the land temple to which he belongs, which is similar to everyone's native place; The affiliated land temple is used for sacrificial activities.Or the family members of the newly deceased, go to the earth temple and report the deceased's name, birth date and other information, in order to ask the earth god to guide the deceased.In short, all gods are not to be offended.

Closer to home, Xia Ling took the statue of the land father-in-law, looked left and right, turned it upside down, and then told everyone that this bronze statue should be from the late Qing Dynasty. If it is sold, it will be [-] to [-] yuan It's worth it.

Everyone cheered when they heard it.Then another classmate said at this time, where is the small incense burner?
At this time, Xia Ling went to pick up the small blue and white incense burner to have a look again, then curled her lips and said that it was also from the late Qing Dynasty, it was a folk kiln, and the market price was probably around a thousand dollars!
Everyone was very excited, saying that we will have another reunion in a few days, and then we will also be local tyrants, what do you think?
Everyone applauded one after another, and then they all clamored what to eat and which big hotel to go to after changing the money. Some people also said that they could not organize a trip together, in short, it was just eating, drinking and having fun.

Afterwards, the students said that Xia Ling majored in archaeology, and she discovered this thing, and that others might suffer losses if they sold it, so they decided to let Xia Ling sell it, anyway, whoever sees it will have a share.

Xia Ling was also very excited, and she agreed with her carelessly. Obviously, she is now the focus of her classmates.

Seeing everyone coaxing, I didn't want to get nervous with them, so I turned around and walked out of the woods.This time Xia Ling's words were too hurtful, it can be said that I lost face, especially in front of these students.

Lin Xiaoqi had been standing outside watching everyone silently, and when she saw me turn around and walk out of the forest, she also hurriedly followed.I looked back, and everyone was still having fun, looking at the two things in Xia Ling's hands, as if there were a lot of banknotes in front of them, one by one, they began to plan for the happy time in the next few days... …

Lin Xiaoqi just followed me like this, probably because she saw that my complexion was not good, so she didn't speak, and walked out of the woods slowly like this.

Returning to the small river outside the forest, Lin Xiaoqi picked up a skewer from the grill and handed it over, saying, "What's the matter, are you sad? Here, eat it or not, it's delicious."

I took the skewers, smiled wryly, and said I was fine.

Lin Xiaoqi said, and said she was fine, and she became bitter.But Xia Ling's words are indeed very hurtful, so you don't have to think too much, isn't this beauty like me accompanying you, hehe.

I smiled, and then said: "From the time I graduated, I knew that there would be no possibility for me to be with her, especially when I saw her again last night, she also changed. It's just that we have been friends for several years, see you She went to move the Earth Temple, and I stopped them because I was worried that something would happen to them, but I didn't know that she took my kindness... Sigh!"

Lin Xiaoqi nodded and said, I know you are afraid that something will happen to them, alas, but will they really get into trouble if they move that thing?

I sighed, thought about it, and told her that the gods cannot be offended, let alone such a shrine in the wilderness, and I don’t know if there are still gods in that land shrine. If the gods are still there, then they may really suffer retribution.

After hearing what I said, Lin Xiaoqi couldn't help worrying, "No accident will happen to them, right?"
I shook my head and smiled wryly.Who knows, I've tried my best anyway, and if something happens to them, it's their own fault.As the saying goes, you can live if you do evil, but you can't live if you do evil yourself. In today's words, if you don't do death, you won't die.

But at this moment, suddenly a large number of students rushed out of the woods, all of them panicked, and some girls were so anxious that they burst into tears.

As soon as I saw this, I immediately yelled in my heart that it was not good, and I thought that something would happen so soon?
Sure enough, a boy ran out and yelled at me, something happened to Xia Ling, she knelt on the ground suddenly and couldn't get up, what should we do now?It's scary!
Immediately I asked him, what's the matter, aren't you all together, why are you crazy?

At this time, the boy slowed down and told me the matter.

It turned out that shortly after we left, they followed us out, everyone was talking and laughing, but for some reason, suddenly a crazy old man chased after us, saying that he wanted them to leave their things before leaving.

Everyone thought that this bad old man might want to eat it, because he looked like a beggar, so some girls took out some biscuits from the bag and gave it to the old man, but the old man didn't want it, so they insisted Steal something from his house.

But where have you ever entered other people's houses, not to mention that there are no houses in this barren mountain and wilderness, let alone someone would enter the house to steal things, so everyone thought this old man was a crazy old man, so some people said there was no need to go. Just leave him alone.

But when they hadn't run tens of meters away, Xia Ling among them suddenly knelt on the ground with a "boom". At first, the students thought she had fallen, so they went to hold her, but who knew that People simply can't afford Xia Ling.

At this time, another male classmate also ran over to help, thinking that Xia Ling had sprained her ankle, but this boy couldn't pull her up, as if her two knees were on the ground, no matter what they did Radu couldn't pull it up.

Now everyone was in a panic and asked Xia Ling what was wrong and why she didn't get up.But Xia Ling didn't answer at all, but grinned strangely and smiled coldly.

And when they looked at the old man who was chasing them before, he had already disappeared.However, Xia Ling's appearance in front of her was really scary, and everyone couldn't pull it up no matter how hard she tried. At this time, a girl asked, did Xia Ling bump into something dirty?
This frightened everyone, so they ran out with a wow.Of course, when I heard that there was a ghost, everyone ran in a hurry and didn't care about the friendship between classmates. Those girls who ran slowly were scared to tears.

After listening to what they said, I can probably guess without even thinking about it. This incident is most likely caused by taking the bronze statue before. Xia Ling was probably found by the land father-in-law!

At this time, some students said, why don't we call the police, or call 120?

I said, call the police, I warned you a long time ago not to touch the things in the temple of the land, but you didn't listen to it long ago, and you still made a fucking booing there!
After getting angry, I didn't care about them anymore, and rushed into the woods in a hurry...
