This day is the birthday of Lingzu, holding a grand ceremony of holding Yangguan to celebrate Christmas.
Because every weekend, Dabao and Xiaobao also came to watch, and followed Xie Lingya to set a fruit plate for Wang Lingguan.
"Does Grandpa only eat fruit? Yesterday, my mother bought me a box of yogurt. Can I give Grandpa Grandpa a bottle?" Dabao asked.
Xie Lingya said, "Grandpa may not be used to eating yogurt, so keep it for yourself."
"Oh," Dabao nodded and said again, "Today is Grandpa's birthday, why hasn't Grandpa Patriarch come yet?"
Xie Lingya thought about how to explain this to the child. Your grandfather is in the sky, and you can't come down casually, "Uh... Because the grandfather is very busy, but he is very happy to know that we are celebrating."
After placing the fruit plate, Xie Lingya led the two children out.
I was encountering a group of people who were moving the statue of the spiritual official. It was the old statue of the spiritual official. Because I finally got married and went out, I am going to move it now.
Xie Lingya took the child and passed by, but saw a Taoist priest slipping on his feet and not holding his hands steady, and the statue of the spiritual official fell to the side. His face changed, and he immediately reached out to block it.
Others noticed and rushed to the rescue.
Xie Lingya only had a pain in his hand, but it was nothing, but the statue was too heavy, because it had lost its center of gravity, everyone could only flatten it as slowly as possible. Xie Lingya stood in front of the two children and told them to go away quickly, but he took a step back and was pressed under the statue of the spirit official. He felt extremely tight in his chest and slowly lost consciousness.
…
When Xie Lingya woke up again, when he opened his eyes, he saw the blue sky, and there were cold and hard stones under him.
He thought to himself, even if he stepped down, he couldn't do this to me, wouldn't he help me into the room when he fainted? By the way, why did he faint after being pressed a little, it wasn't a smash... Could he be sick
Xie Lingya sat up, but found that he was beside a small stream. There were no buildings around, either trees or grass. Dabao and Xiaobao were also lying beside him.
Xie Lingya felt that something was wrong, and shook them both awake, "Where are we? Wasn't it just the godfather who was crushed?"
They were dumbfounded and didn't know anything.
Xie Lingya touched it, but he didn't have a cell phone on his body, "Is it a prank? Sit down for a while, you can't be fooled, I have to calm down."
Xie Lingya restrained her expression and sat on the stone with a calm face.
After sitting like this for about half an hour, both Dabao and Xiaobao started digging for earthworms to play. Xie Lingya still didn't wait for someone to jump out and shout to make fun of you, but! This is the time to compete for patience!
Xie Lingya didn't believe that he had been cultivating for so long, that he could lose more than patience, so he continued to sit in place calmly.
Until a young man in a Taoist robe came out of the woods, his black hair was tied with a wooden hairpin on his head, he was wearing cloth shoes, and there was a cloth bag behind him. But very stable.
As soon as Xie Lingya saw the Taoist priest, he even felt that his own people were playing tricks on him. Although he had never seen this person, he could not find where the Taoist friends came to help.
Because today was Lingzu's birthday, Xie Lingya also wore a Taoist robe. The young Taoist was going to the stream, and he kept looking at him during the period. Xie Lingya also stared back, thinking that it was almost done, he was hungry.
The Taoist priest cupped his hands beside the stream and asked, "This fellow Taoist, how long will it take for the nearest family to Fuliang County?"
Fuliang County? Where
Xie Lingya also folded his fists in return subconsciously, and said, "What is Fuliang County, enough of you, aren't we all in Diyang?"
The Taoist frowned and said, "Where is Diyang? Isn't Fuliang in Xiangyin?"
Xie Lingya: "??"
Xie Lingya was even more speechless, "Which temple are you a Taoist priest, they taught you how to play with me? Are you trying to lie to me, I passed through?"
He took off the turban, looking depressed.
When the Taoist priest saw Xie Lingya's short hair, his expression became even more strange, "What time travel, fellow Taoist has ever entered Buddhism?"
Xie Lingya was speechless, did you really come
He picked up Dabao and Xiaobao, "I don't want to play with you, where is this, tell me now, I'm going back."
As soon as he hugged, the Taoist priest noticed that the clothes of Dabao and Xiaobao were also very strange, and said clearly: "Are you a foreigner, lost your way here?"
Xie Lingya was a little amused when he heard this standard time-travel dialogue. Who the hell planned this, it's too boring. He simply ignored it and just followed the Taoist priest to prepare to leave here.
The Taoist priest didn't care, only smiled slightly, "Pin Dao Quan Yangzi, what do you call fellow Taoists?"
Xie Lingya heard this name a little familiar, maybe he had heard it before, and said casually: "Then my name is Baoyangzi, junior brother, which palace temple are you from?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to be called Senior Brother." Quan Yangzi smiled and said that he didn't belong to a palace and traveled around.
If Quan Yangzi said the truth instead of lines, it would be quite old-fashioned, and now most of them have to find a unit. Moreover, when Quan Yangzi said that he wanted to call him senior brother, he might not just look tender
Dabao and Xiaobao were tired a long time ago and slept on his shoulders. Xie Lingya had a hard time carrying the two children for a long time, and Quan Yangzi also said to help him hold one.
Xie Lingya didn't think much about it at all, and asked him to help hold Xiaobao.
The two of them hurried on their way and didn't talk much. Xie Lingya cursed the planner depressed in the bottom of his heart, which wilderness did they put them in, and they didn't send a car to pick them up, did they really let them walk into the city
After walking for about an hour, some buildings appeared in the front. Xie Lingya felt wrong when he saw it from a distance, and when he saw it closer, it was like being struck by lightning.
Each of these houses, from the shape to the bricks and woods, has a very sense of age, and the people who come and go on the qianmo all wear antique bunts. As long as you look at it, you can tell that this place is definitely not a film and television base, and these people are definitely not actors! Just this flavor can't be faked!
Xie Lingya's whole body is not well, what are you doing?
Quan Yangzi didn't notice what was wrong with Xie Lingya. He was chatting with an old couple in Tanabe and asked if they could stay overnight at their house. The old couple agreed and asked their eldest son to take them to rest at home.
While talking, they kept looking at a few people, especially the child in their arms.
Although Quan Yangzi has a handsome appearance and delicate skin, he still looks exposed to the sun. Xie Lingya looks frighteningly white to them. So pretty.
Xie Lingya was in a trance and followed Quan Yangzi almost unconsciously. This is not a prank, but a real time travel? He was just pressed down by the spirit official statue. Could it be that this is what the ancestors meant
When they arrived at the farmer's house, it was certain that they were simple. The eldest son of the family made a bed for them, and two adults and two children were squeezed together.
Quan Yangzi put Xiaobao on the bed, saw Xie Lingya absent-minded, and said, "After holding the baby for so long, let's put the child down first. But fellow Daoist thinks this place is too simple? There's no way to go out."
He saw more than those villagers. This fellow Taoist not only has white skin and tender flesh and neat teeth, but also the Taoist robes and scarves on his body look ordinary, but the stitches are incredibly fine and neat, including the two children in strange clothes. , the family must be unusual. When it comes to ordinary people, it is strange to get used to it.
Xie Lingya put Dabao next to Xiaobao, thought for a while, and then simply knelt in the house, silently praying to Wang Lingguan: "Grandpa, what's the matter? , and brought two children! How does this make me live? If this is really what you mean, you have to make it clear, what exactly do you want me to wear?"
After begging Lingzu, he asked Sazu again, "Sazu, please take care of the ancestors!"
After begging the patriarch for a long time, he quickly got him back. I don't know if the two patriarchs could hear him, or, the patriarch who listened to his prayers was not the patriarch who was in normal time.
After praying to God, Xie Lingya got up hesitantly, and saw that Quan Yangzi took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from his bag, and actually started to write.
Xie Lingya is not in the mood to care about what other people are doing now. She just leans on the bed and keeps thinking about what she is wearing, how to go back, and what to do if she can't go back... No, I must go back!
Xie Lingya firmed his mind and cheered up a little. When the eldest son of the master's family came back with water, he asked again, "Is there a temple nearby?"
An inexplicable look flashed across the eldest son's face, and he lowered his head and said, "There is a Temple of the City God."
Xie Lingya's spirit is even more uplifted. It's fine. If the ancestors can't hear, he has to ask other gods to quickly get them back to their original world.
At this time, Dabao and Xiaobaohe woke up, touched their stomachs and said, "Godfather, I'm hungry."
At this time, when they didn't go to eat at other people's house, Xie Lingya was not too embarrassed to ask for something to eat because he had already stayed here, and asked them to drink some water.
Quan Yangzi took out some dry cakes from the bag and let them drink it with water.
But both children grew up eating white rice, of course they couldn't accept it, they couldn't eat after two bites.
Xie Lingya couldn't help sighing.
With tears in his eyes, Xiaobao picked up the cake again, "Godfather, are we getting poorer..."
Xie Lingya didn't know how to answer, "Uh..."
Xiaobao didn't know what story to make up in his brain, so he took another bite of the cake with tears and ate it with water.
Xie Lingya was so distressed that he felt helpless.
Dabao was lying on the bed, his head twisted and said: "If I don't eat, I won't be hungry if I don't move."
Xie Lingya went from being distressed to crying and laughing again. Just for the sake of these two children, he couldn't be decadent. He was refreshed and started chatting with Quan Yangzi, trying to inquire about the current era and the like.
"Imperial Capital? Twenty-seven years ago, I was there." Quan Yangzi heard Xie Lingya talking about the Imperial Capital, raised his head and sighed, "The flowers are like brocade, the market is prosperous, I am watching the moon on the Zhou Bridge, and I can see both sides of the Bian River. The wine flags are fluttering, the singing is endless, and the people of the capital are like the Bian River flowing endlessly…”
Bianhe? Xie Lingya captured this keyword, Bian is another name for Kaifeng, which is Tokyo Bianliang, so the current era should be the Northern Song Dynasty!
Then he thought of another thing. Quan Yangzi went to Bianjing twenty-seven years ago. How old is Quan Yangzi, or is it early in the record? Even if he was five years old at the time, he is now thirty-two. No wonder Xie Lingya can't call him junior brother...
But soon, Xie Lingya's attention was all on Quan Yangzi's words. Listening to him describe the style of Bianliang, as a modern person, how can he have such an experience. Not only him, but even Dabao and Xiaobao listened with gusto, and from time to time asked Quan Yangzi what "Washer" and "Guanpu" were in his mouth.
Fortunately, it was a child who asked. Xie Lingya was afraid that he would be exposed, so he could just listen by the side.
Before I knew it, it was getting late, and all the peasant households came back. Of course, it was impossible to eat white rice for dinner, only wild vegetable bean rice.
Dabao hadn't eaten two bites of cakes before, so when he was hungry, he couldn't control so much, so he grabbed a bowl of bean rice.
After eating, the two of them lay in Xie Lingya's arms and asked, "Godfather, when can we go back?"
"Soon." Xie Lingya patted their heads.
At this time, people went to bed early. Dabao and Xiaobao were children, but they fell asleep quickly, but Xie Lingya was not used to it. Sitting by the bed in a daze was really boring.
This family doesn't talk about the four walls of the family, but there are very few things. After he stared at everything for a long time, his eyes fell on Quan Yangzi's book.
"Fellow Daoist, what did you write?" Xie Lingya asked dryly.
Quan Yangzi didn't sleep either. He wanted to guard Gengshen today and said, "That's the Taoist book I wrote, do you want to read it?"
"Okay." Xie Lingya picked up the book and saw the title of the book on the first page: "Lei Shuo", and the author's name in the lower right corner: Fenyang Sake.
Xie Lingya coughed violently: "cough cough cough cough!!!"
Xie Lingya was completely messed up, and he said why Quanyangzi sounded so familiar, and it was only when he saw Fenyang Sake that he completely woke up... Damn, this "Fenyang Sake" is the self-proclaimed name of the true monarch Chongen, Sazu!
Quan Yangzi sat up in shock, "Fellow Daoist hug Yangzi, are you alright?"
When Xie Lingya heard the phrase "daoist friend", he knelt down beside the bed with his feet soft.
Quan Yangzi: ? ?
Xie Lingya leaned on the bed and reluctantly got up, and said in horror: "Fenyang Sa Ke... Quan Yangzi... You, you are Sa... Sa..."
"Pin Dao Sa Shou Jian." Quan Yangzi said graciously.
Xie Lingya: "..."
Xie Lingya felt that thunder was pounding in his head.
Really Sazu.
He called Sazu Junior Brother, and asked Sazu to help him hold the child...
By the way, the most annoying thing is that he was in front of Sazu before, begging Sazu to bless him to go home.
Sa Shoujian looked at Xie Lingya like that, and thought he recognized him. He has been more than fifty this year, and has traveled the world for dozens of years. He is somewhat famous in Taoism. Moreover, since he became successful in cultivation, his white hair turned black, and he was reborn as a child. I am afraid this little fellow is also surprised by this.
Sa Shoujian was about to comfort Xie Lingya with a few words, when suddenly he heard a movement outside, he quickly made a silent gesture to Xie Lingya, and then leaned against the window to listen.
Xie Lingya was stunned for a moment, and quickly leaned over to listen.
There were the footsteps of many people outside, and there were faint sounds of fire and whispers.
“… two virgins… Taoist priests…”
"Tomorrow...in the temple..."
When some short words came into my ears, Xie Lingya frowned, feeling that something was not right.
Sa Shoujian jumped up and opened the door, only to see a dozen villagers standing outside, including the owner's family.
When they saw that Sa Shoujian and Xie Lingya didn't sleep, they panicked a little, but because of the crowd, they became more courageous, and they discussed with each other: "Catch it! Go get a stick!"
Sa Shoujian frowned: "What are you doing?"
The hostess of the house couldn't bear to say: "Taoist priest, to worship the gods tomorrow, we need two pairs of boys and girls, please hand over the two fat babies, so that you will be released after the sacrifice, and it will not hurt you."
Xie Lingya is cold, is it a sacrifice
He looked at the numb expressions on the black and thin faces of these villagers under the light of the fire, and felt even more terrifying.
Although he read from many sources that there were so many prostitution sacrifices in ancient times, and the officials repeatedly banned him, he still felt unhappy in the face of their intention of targeting living people.
Thinking about it too, the two of them are foreigners, and the two children are so white and tender, it is a good choice. During the day, he was in a trance, and he only felt that the villagers were staring at them. At that time, he only thought that he was curious about seeing strangers. Now that he thinks about it, he will not be thinking about it at that time.
Thinking of this, Xie Lingya was even more chilled.
Sa Shoujian was also angry and said to Xie Lingya, "Fellow Daoist, protect your two children, I will deal with them."
"You come, you come." Xie Lingya replied respectfully, what was he afraid of when Sazu was there!
"..." Sa Shoujian choked for a while, because ordinary people would be worried when he heard that he wanted one-to-many.
Xie Lingya picked up Dabao and Xiaobao and stood behind Sazu, thinking about it, still angry, and accused: "Where are you offering sacrifices to the evil gods, the imperial court has banned prostitution, do you know that this is illegal?"
"What is the crime, I've never heard of it..."
"We sacrificed to the Lord of the City God! Not the Evil God!"
"I see, tied them up and sacrificed to the temple god master together!"
"Yes, he also sacrificed to Master Wang Ei!"
Xie Lingya: "…Who is offering sacrifice??"
Xie Lingya is even more messy, isn't it... Isn't Wang E the real name of his patriarch? !
