The boy suddenly covered his face and cried, "Dad, someone is bullying me!"
An old man immediately came over and asked, "Who bullied your son?"
"Him!" The boy was really crying, pointing at me with tears in his eyes.
The old man said "Oh", pulled me aside and whispered: "Brother, I'm not his father, but this kid has been stupid since he was young. He can't even find a wife at this age. He has been living by selling candied haws. He is sometimes clear-headed and sometimes stupid. Maybe he will give you candied haws later. Don't bother with this kid."
When I heard what was going on, I frowned and asked, "You are not his father, so who are you to him?"
The old man sighed and said, "I am his uncle. This child has been calling me this since he was an orphan."
The old man sounded quite sincere, and then I looked at the boy, who did look quite stupid. So forget it, it's only a hundred dollars, and I don't plan to ask for the change back, so I'll just consider it as a donation to the poor.
Shen Bing asked curiously: "How did he lose his parents?"
The old man sighed again and said, "Speaking of this child, it's really a strange thing. He was not stupid when he was born. When he was five years old, he was playing in the temple and it rained heavily due to thunder and lightning. He didn't go home all night. The next day his parents found him, and he turned out to be stupid. A few days later, his parents died for no reason. I brought him here to raise him, but this child often sneaked into the temple to live. He has been like this for many years, alas!"
I thought it was strange, and looked at the silly boy carefully. He was scratching his head in a daze. There was a faint black air between his eyebrows. Well, it was contaminated with evil spirits. Then I looked up at the Yangxian Temple over there, thinking that there was a great immortal living in this temple, how could they allow wild ghosts to cause trouble
However, when it comes to temples, although the temple gods protect the area, if the statues are consecrated and there are evil spirits in the neighboring places, it will become an evil temple and attract wild ghosts and evil spirits. There are two explanations for the so-called consecration and evil spirits. One is that the consecration method is wrong, and the temple gods have no spiritual energy at all. The other is that the consecration time is wrong, which happens to collide with the evil spirits. The matter of colliding with evil spirits in the neighboring places...
At this time, I suddenly saw a tomb on the left side of the main hall. The terrain there was quite high, and I could just see the tip of the tomb above the dark crowd of heads. So I pulled Shen Bing through the crowd and arrived outside the temple gate.
Here you can clearly see a lonely grave that is very eye-catching. It is less than two meters away from the gable of the main hall, and the terrain is several dozen centimeters higher than the foundation of the main hall. A red silk cloth is drawn around the grave, and a stall of incense and candles is placed outside. There is also a saying about this, that is, it is called warding off evil spirits.
Turning around and looking at the left side corner of the eaves of the main hall, I saw a drop of water hanging on it. I nodded and understood what was going on.
Shen Bing asked me: "Why are we visiting the graveyard instead of the temple gods?"
I pointed to the eaves and said, "This eaves is facing the grave, which creates a kind of oppression on the owner of the grave, and the ghost will cry non-stop in the middle of the night. Do you see the water drops on the eaves? That is 'lonely yin offends evil spirits and tears ripple'. It must be like rain at night, but in the daytime, it will be dried up by the sun, leaving only a drop of water."
"Your occupational disease has struck again, brother. This is a temple, what's so stupid about it? I think you've really been pissed off by that stupid guy." Shen Bing said with a frown.
I smiled bitterly and said, "That stupid boy must have drunk the Lonely Yin Fan Sha Tears, which infected him with evil spirits and caused his parents to die. He has been stupid for many years."
