Chapter 79: Build a Jiaxian Temple at the entrance of the village
Early the next morning.
Zhang Hao opened the door to the room and looked at the rising sun in the east and the warm, soft sunlight spreading over the earth.
Taking a deep breath, the fresh air rushed straight to my brain.
With mountains at the back, the oxygen content in the air is extremely high.
This is the advantage of living in such a small village. In terms of living, it is much better than big cities with bustling traffic and steel buildings.
At least, it's very quiet here and the pace of life is slow.
While it was still early, Zhang Hao picked up Xiaobai, who seemed to be still sleeping, walked out of the gate and walked along the muddy road in the village.
"Good morning, Aunt Zhang."
"Uncle Li, you have to go to the ground so early."
"Brother Hai? What are you doing so early?"
Zhang Hao greeted casually, always with a smile on his face.
When he reached the entrance of the village, he glanced at the road up the mountain on one side, turned around silently, and walked back.
Two or three villagers came towards me, carrying hoes and rakes. They looked like they were going to the fields.
"What was that sound last night? It came from the mountains. I don't know what was screaming there."
"It sounded like a fox barking to me."
"Me too, I heard it all at home. What the hell, what the murderer said yesterday is true, right? There are monsters on the mountain!"
"There is a fart monster! Can the fox become a spirit?"
"Don't say that. It's better to believe that this thing exists than to believe that it doesn't exist. On the day of Old Zhaotou's funeral, didn't Gao Hai and the others encounter dirty things?"
A group of villagers were chatting with each other. When they saw Zhang Hao across from them, everyone smiled and said hello.
Zhang Hao also said hello and then asked: "Hey, uncles, were there any foxes barking on the mountain last night?"
He slept so soundly last night that he fell asleep as soon as he fell down. Not to mention a fox barking on the mountain, he couldn't hear an elephant coming up the mountain.
One of the villagers said vividly: "That's not true. There are still many foxes barking there, as if someone dug out the fox's nest."
Zhang Hao paused and then smiled.
Missing all the villagers, he walked back with Xiaobai in his arms, smiling helplessly.
Good guy, it seems that after taking away the [Thunder Tribulation Wood], those foxes almost went crazy.
Thinking about it, [Thunder Tribulation Wood], but they just took away the things they had been enshrining, which is a bit unreasonable no matter how you say it.
But fortunately, I had already thought of this and prepared something in advance.
Next time you go into the mountains, bring it to those foxes.
As he was thinking about walking, he came to the door of Zhang's third courtyard. He pricked up his ears and listened to the sounds coming from the direction of the kitchen in the courtyard. He walked squarely and entered the door with the corners of his mouth raised. .
Needless to say, Li Siyu was already preparing breakfast.
……
Just have breakfast.
Li Siyu changed into a simple undershirt, picked up farm tools, and walked out with a basket.
It just rained yesterday. Today I need to go to the fields to tidy up and see the condition of the crops.
And Zhang Hao is also ready to devote himself to his own affairs.
He picked up the shovel, took the masonry knife, trowel and other tools, put the two small fox statues into his pocket, and walked out the door.
He followed the muddy path all the way to the entrance of the village, near the foot of the mountain, and then he stopped.
Putting the tool on the ground, he looked around.
The best location for the Fox Temple to be built is with a mountain at its back, no people on the left and right, no water in front of it, and it needs to be in a cool place all year round, that is, a place not exposed to direct sunlight. Because foxes are mainly dominated by yin energy. If the fox temple is built in the sun and receives the influence of yang energy all day long, then there is no need to talk about worship.
After looking around, Zhang Hao finally found a good place.
It is directly west of the village entrance. There is a wall here that can block the sun. It is completely on the shady side, with the mountain at its back, no people on the left and right, and no water in front of it.
After the location is selected, the biggest problem is solved.
Zhang Hao didn't stop, picked up the tools, put them on the ground, then found a big rock to sit down, and waited quietly.
He lowered his head and played with his mobile phone for a while, and then raised his head when he heard the sound of a car driving not far away.
A van parked steadily not far away.
Zhang Hao then stood up and shouted to Gao Hai, who was sitting in the driver's seat: "Brother Hai, unload this thing!"
Gao Hai made an "OK" gesture, stepped on the accelerator, and rushed over.
Suddenly, dust rose everywhere.
Gao Hai got out of the car and opened the back cover of the van, and Zhang Hao followed suit.
Behind the van was a small half-pack of cement, some sand, and dozens of red bricks.
"Haozi, you want this because you plan to build a kennel for your dog?" Gao Hai joked.
Zhang Hao rolled his eyes: "Who built the kennel here? Stop talking, Brother Hai, help me move it down quickly."
Gao Hai didn't care, smiled and stepped forward to help.
It didn't take them long to get everything down.
Pick up a shovel and pour the cement on the ground. Start digging in the middle and spread it around to make it look like a bowl. Then, pour water directly into the middle. Then add sand and stir constantly with the shovel.
During this period, you should always pay attention to the degree of dilution of the cement. If it is too thin, it will not be strong enough after solidification. If it is too thick, it will definitely crack after solidification, which will also affect the solidity.
With Gao Hai's help, the cement was mixed soon.
"Haozi, what on earth are you doing?" Gao Hai held the shovel with one hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with the other hand.
Zhang Hao also wiped the sweat on his forehead: "Build a family temple."
"Family Immortal Temple?" Gao Hai was startled, then realized what he was doing, and smiled subconsciously: "Why, are you planning to worship the Five Immortals?"
"That's right." Zhang Hao responded casually.
As he spoke, he had already begun to pick up the red bricks and build the prototype of the Immortal Temple bit by bit.
Gao Hai just smiled helplessly and helped.
Time passed little by little, and soon, the sun was high in the sky.
The two of them were still building a family temple here, and all the villagers passing by stopped to take a look curiously. At this time, it was time for everyone to come back from the fields and prepare to go home for dinner.
Therefore, many villagers were attracted by this place and came closer to watch Zhang Hao and Gao Hai working.
"Xiao Hao, Xiao Hai, what are you doing here?"
At this time, someone asked.
Zhang Hao raised his head, looked at the person who asked the question, and responded with a smile: "I am going to build a family immortal temple here specifically for the five immortals."
The villagers were thoughtful.
"Haozi is such a careful kid. The foxes on the mountain were barking like crazy last night. Maybe it was because of that. If Haozi builds a temple here to worship the five immortals, maybe those foxes will stop barking. ." A villager laughed.
"Xiao Hao understands these things, but we don't understand them at all. When something happened at the funeral last time, it wasn't Xiao Hao who told everyone how to do it."
"Haozi, is this temple spiritual?"
Some villagers asked in confusion.
