Chapter 75 The changes brought about by burning incense
Under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.
Seeing Wang Guifen walk away, a group of old men and women discussed curiously.
“What are the big and small bags of this girl? I smell the smell of rice.”
“I also smell the smell of sweet sugar!”
"No way! Who would be willing to buy such a precious thing, which is not only for the New Year!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a child trotted over.
"Grandma, grandma, I want to eat sweets!"
"Ah? You kid, why did you suddenly think of this thing."
"I was in Tianlang just now When I was served, the aunt gave me a piece of sweet candy. It was so sweet, but it was too small to eat. ”
A group of old men and women were immediately dumbfounded.
Is it really sweet candy?
Is it possible that the husband-in-law of Lao Wang’s daughter got rich?
At this moment, suddenly, an exclamation came.
The crowd under the big locust tree went out looking for someone to watch, and saw Wang Guifen running out in a panic outside the Tutu Temple at the entrance of the village.
"Guifen? What's wrong?"
"Second daughter, what happened?"
The two old aunts stood up and looked over, shouting from a distance .
"Auntie, is there something weird in this temple?" Wang Guifen said nervously while panting heavily, glancing into the temple from time to time.
This earth temple has a history of many years. It is only the size of a room and has no yard.
There is only a screen placed at the entrance. On the screen are written the words "Barrier with Thousand Eyes, Mountain God and Land Live Together".
At this moment, two old men and women who were originally sitting under the big locust tree walked over quickly with relatively quick legs.
"Weird? What's weird?"
Wang Guifen picked up the long incense in her hand, pointed at the Tu Tu Temple and said: "I was thinking about offering incense to Tu Tu Lord, but The incense can't be lit at all. Even the candle light is flickering, as if it is deliberately avoiding me. "How is that possible? Don't scare yourself." It happens to be windy, right?" the big-footed lady from before said with a smile.
"But I tried several times and couldn't light it! Aunt Bigfoot, why don't you go in and give it a try!" As she spoke, Wang Guifen handed over the incense in her hand.
Aunt Bigfoot took the scent from Wang Guifen, shook her head and said: "You girl, you are so talkative. Just try it, come with me."
Say it, little old man The wife took the incense and walked into the Tutu Temple first.
Wang Guifen and another old lady also hurriedly followed.
Going around the screen, you can see the clay statues enshrined in the temple.
It had the appearance of a kind old man, wearing a linen gown, holding a cane in one hand and stroking his beard with the other.
Wearing a long-brimmed straw hat on his head, he looks forward with a smile, giving people a friendly feeling.
This is the statue of the Earth God.
In front of the statue is an incense table. On the incense table is a plate of relatively fresh fruits and vegetables. Next to it are two oil lamps and a small bundle of standing incense sticks.
Aunt Bigfoot reached out and held the incense in her hand toward the flame of the oil lamp.
I muttered in my mouth: "Isn't this quite simple? It's not as difficult as you said!"
Soon, the flame burned one end of the incense stick, and the incense stick burned red. It reached the top and was already burning.
“Here, you girl, if you haven’t been back for so many days, you’ve become unfamiliar even with Grandpa Tu, whom you worshiped since childhood, right?”
Wang Guifen smiled awkwardly and took the big cake. The burning incense that Auntie handed over.
Take two steps back and kneel on the futon on the ground. He bowed a few times to the statue of the Earth God in front of him, then stood up and put the incense in the incense burner.
After simply doing this, Wang Guifen exchanged a few words with Aunt Bigfoot, then left the Earth Temple and walked towards her parents' home.
What few people noticed was that they were only a few steps away.
The already lit incense suddenly and inexplicably started to burn faster. After a while, it turned into ashes and then burned out.
At the same time, Xu Boan, who had just installed earth buildings for the villagers in the mountain village and was observing the villagers' housing selection, suddenly felt a feeling of calling coming from the mountain temple. .
Xu Boan subconsciously focused his attention on the mountain temple, and the scene of the mountain temple appeared in his mind.
It was still the vision of the main person being enshrined. The difference was that Xu Boan suddenly found that the scene before him was no longer just the original scene.
In front of him, there were actually two miniature light groups, floating in the air not far away.
The first one is like a miniature version of the scene inside the mountain temple.
The second one was a strange sight that I had never seen before.
Xu Bo'an's curious mind chose the unknown second light group.
Suddenly, there was a change in front of my eyes.
The original scene inside the mountain temple turned into a completely unfamiliar scene.
Xu Boan looked at the scene in front of him curiously.
Not far away is a simple long incense table. On the incense table, there is a plate of apple-shaped fruits, two cucumbers, and a handful of small yellow wild fruits from the mountains.
On the two sides of the incense table are two retro oil lamps, burning flames the size of soybeans.
Next to the oil lamp is a small bundle of standing incense.
There is a small stone-carved incense burner placed in the middle. In the incense burner, a standing incense stick is inserted into it, and the scent of incense rises.
Huh?
Xu Boan immediately realized something was wrong.
This incense seems to burn faster than ordinary incense.
It's like the difference between a person smoking normally and taking two puffs.
After a while, Xu Boan saw that the incense had brightly stained a small section, and a lot of the incense ash had also fallen off.
After observing for a while, Xu Boan felt bored and continued to observe other furnishings in the room.
Not far behind the incense table is a straw futon for pilgrims to kneel down and worship.
Farther away, there is a hollow wooden screen with some words written on it, but Xu Boan can't distinguish it.
Because there was a screen blocking it, Xu Boan could not see more of the scene outside.
But there seemed to be a sound coming from outside.
"Aunt Bigfoot, I'm going back first!"
"Go back quickly, Guifen, your mother will be extremely happy."
Guifen?
Xu Boan's eyes narrowed.
This name seems to come from a villager in Kaoshan Village who just set out in the morning and said he was going back to his parents' home, right?
Is it the sound of her chatting with others?
Xu Boan was just about to concentrate and continue listening carefully, when suddenly, a feeling of fatigue came from his mind.
Xu Boan was quite curious and subconsciously thought of eating something sour to refresh himself.
I grabbed it casually and grabbed a handful of yellow wild fruits from the mountains on the incense table in front of me.
The next moment, a feeling of detachment came from my mind.
The scene in front of Xu Boan suddenly changed, and he returned to the familiar mountain temple again.
Xu Boan searched carefully out of curiosity, but could no longer see the two light groups that originally existed in front of him.
How strange?
What's going on?
Xu Boan muttered and shook his head, subconsciously preparing to pat his thigh, but suddenly he found that he seemed to have something in his hand.
Xu Boan looked at his hand and suddenly showed a surprised expression.
In his hand, there were several yellow wild fruits from the mountains!
Here we go, wasn’t this wild fruit I just caught on the incense table that strangely appeared in the temple?
That place does not seem to belong to the small world that I can see right now!
