Chapter 28 28: The immortal entrusts a dream, and the ghost gets married
In Chenze Township, Daxian Temple, located at the north end of the township, is a rather special place.
The goddess Chen who lives in the nunnery is also a special person.
He has quite a lot of experience and is aggressive by nature. When he was young, he was very ambitious and wanted to marry in the city. Once when I entered the county town, I made eye contact with a man on the street, and then ran away with him.
This man seemed to be generous and wealthy, but his true identity was a horse thief who licked blood at the tip of his knife. He had committed many evil deeds of robbing homes, killing people and stealing goods.
Later, they were surrounded and suppressed by officers and soldiers, the man died, and Chen Shenpo escaped.
When she came back, she had a big belly, but later, her belly was gone.
Her family was very angry about her running away with a horse thief and did not welcome her back.
However, Chen Shenpo claimed that she did not have an affair with the horse thief, but went to the mountain to learn supernatural powers from a great immortal, and was given divine magic power. She could ask gods to drive away evil spirits and fulfill people's wishes.
If anyone dares to disrespect her, he will suffer the retribution of the great immortal.
So preparations began to build Daxian Nunnery.
At the beginning, the people in the countryside didn't believe it. How could anyone go to the mountains to learn skills and come back with a big belly?
It's so immoral that even my own family can't accept it.
But then, several people who spoke rudely to Chen Shenpo suffered accidents, either breaking their hands or breaking their legs;
Even the family members who did not accept Mrs. Chen back home had something happen to them inexplicably and became ill.
At this time, everyone in Chen Zexiang was shocked. They no longer dared to make irresponsible remarks to Chen Shenpo, for fear that misfortune would come out of her mouth and they would suffer retribution from the immortal.
In this way, Daxian nunnery was established.
This is a short temple, with a front temple and a back hall. There is a statue of a great immortal in the temple, and the back hall is the residence of the goddess.
The statue was very small. It was placed in a shrine and covered with red cloth. It was difficult for outsiders to see clearly the face of the statue.
In fact, for decades since the establishment of Daxian Temple, the goddess has only claimed to be the "Great Immortal" to the outside world, but has never said which "Great Immortal" is being enshrined.
Such bad names can be seen everywhere, even those fortune tellers who walk around the streets dare to call themselves "Great Immortals".
Therefore, in Chen Zexiang, the incense of Daxian Temple is not that good.
As the years went by, the great immortals in the nunnery no longer appeared, and the awe of the villagers gradually faded away.
In the eyes of the younger generation, Goddess Chen is just a nagging old woman who lives her life guarding a temple.
It's not like the incense has been cut off.
When some villagers encounter accidents or become seriously ill and have no other choice, they will come to the nunnery to pray and make wishes, asking for a glass of talisman water to drink.
See if you can get the mercy of the immortal and be brought back to life.
For example, Chen Abu and his wife, in order to beg for a son, also came here to beg on their knees, but it didn't work.
Fortunately, after taking the medicine given by Chen Jin, spring came back to life.
Seeing Chen Abu's family of three, all of them looking happy, Chen Shenpo asked: "Abu, it's so late, why do you come to the ancestral hall to burn incense?"
In this regard, Chen Abu did not hide it and spoke out.
After listening, Goddess Chen grinned: "That's a happy event."
Inexplicably, facing that smile full of wrinkles and missing teeth, Chen Abu felt a little shabby: "It is indeed a happy event."
Goddess Chen reminded: "Abu, you came to me to make a wish, and now you have got your wish. Remember to fulfill your wish. Otherwise, it would be bad if the immortal blames you and imposes retribution."
Hearing this, Chen Abu felt quite disappointed.
In the past, he took his mother-in-law to Daxian Temple to make a wish, which cost a lot of money. As a result, a year or two passed and nothing happened.
Now that she is pregnant, she has nothing to do with Daxian Nunnery or Chen Shenpo.
However, in front of the other party, Chen Abu would not say that. He replied: "Today is too late. Next time, I will buy something and then go and fulfill my wish."
"That's good, that's good." Goddess Chen's eyes suddenly fell on Chen Min: "This is your girl, I haven't seen you for a few years, and she looks so pretty."
Looking at those turbid eyes, Chen Min felt uncomfortable and subconsciously hid behind her mother.
Mrs. Chen Li hurriedly said: "Don't blame the goddess, girls are shy."
Goddess Chen smiled sinisterly: "It doesn't matter, just grow up and you can get married. As a woman, you won't be shy anymore."
After saying that, he picked up the basket, leaned on the bamboo stick, and left the ancestral hall slowly.
As he walked, he murmured in a low voice: "Son, I also have a son..."
Seeing her back, Mrs. Chen Li couldn't help but whisper: "Master, why is Grandma Chen acting weird today?"
Chen Abu curled his lips and said: "How can a person like her not be weird? This is how she makes money."
Chen Li asked again: "Then should we go to Daxian Temple to fulfill our vows?"
Chen Abu pondered: "Our family's happy event obviously has nothing to do with it. We have no wish to return it, so we will put it off for a while. I will discuss it with Ah Jin tomorrow. He is well-informed and can make up his mind."

Chen Li nodded and said: "Okay."
Chen Min suddenly said: "The way the goddess looked at me just now was wrong. She wanted to eat me. Dad, what does the retribution of the great immortal she said look like?"
Chen Abu thought for a moment: "It's probably a dream or something. It's scaring children, so don't be afraid."
"I'm not afraid. I'm going to be a sister, not a child anymore."
The girl took courage and said loudly.
……
But she said that Chen Shenpo returned to Daxian Temple and walked in.
It was late in the evening, there were no lights on, the nunnery was a bit dark, the place was low and filled with a strong and choking smell of incense.
Pass through the front temple and enter the back hall.
This is her residence.
The place where a lonely old man lives is naturally lacking in cleanliness and tidy, and is filled with a sour and rotten smell.
She walked in, her eyes showed a strange light, and she murmured: "You are going to have a son, okay, very good... I also have a son, okay, very good..."
As he spoke, he came to the old and mottled bed, leaned down, and took out something from the bottom of the bed.
It's an urn.
It's not big, it's completely dark, and the mouth of the altar is wrapped in a red cloth.
The red cloth is very thin and seems to be transparent.
Holding the ashes jar, Mother Chen had a kind face, stretched out her hands like old pine tree bark, and kept stroking the jar: "Son, my good son, our family is going to have a happy event. Mother will give you blessings before. The girl in the wedding has grown up, and you can finally get married.”
Buzz!
The red cloth wrapped around the urn suddenly bulged, as if something was about to rush out.
Goddess Chen quickly comforted her: "My good son, you can't be anxious. She is in the ancestral hall. You have to wait until she returns home and falls asleep before you can marry her back. Do you understand?"

These words had an effect, and Hongbu regained his composure.
Goddess Chen breathed a sigh of relief, walked out again, lit an old lamp in front of the shrine, then sat down cross-legged and began to recite the ritual.
