White snake fairy in the world

Chapter 24

In Zhuangjia Village, the old village head propped up his trembling body, stood up with difficulty, bowed to the earthen statue of Liu Xian at home, and said weakly: "Master Liu Xian, this is the last time that the villain will burn incense for you. The villain knows that time is running out, so I offer you the last stick of incense.

The villain migrated from Yanzhou in the northeast, and his family enshrines the five great immortals for generations.I never thought that I would meet Master Liu Xian when I came to the south.

In this villain's life, the thing he doesn't regret the most is to stubbornly take the whole village to move thousands of miles to settle in the south.The war in the north is imminent, if you stay here, the entire village may be wiped out.

In the future, the villain will make every household in the village enshrine you, Lord Liuxian, and I beg you to protect our village for the sake of our whole village's pious worship. This is the last and only wish of the villain.I also hope that Daxian will come true! "

After all, the old village head kowtowed heavily.

……

In the village, the boy Goudan was now a father.He also had a fat boy last month, and his wife is also a good girl from the family introduced by Aunt Wang, with a gentle and sensible personality.

He looked up and could see a persimmon tree blooming next door in the yard.

It was the yard of his brother Erniu, and it had not been lived in for a long time.

Brother Erniu's wife and children moved to live in the city, and bought a house in the city with the 100 taels of silver. Brother Erniu's baby has been sent to school for enlightenment. I heard from his wife that the child was praised by the teacher for being very good .

He looked at his newborn baby, and he understood Er Niu brother's choice in his heart, but that Er Niu brother would never come back, Goudan asked the village head to give him a nickname, Zhao Daqian.

Zhao Daqian also decided to earn money for his son's future education, and he didn't want his son to farm all his life.

The four surnames Zhao, Wang, Zhang and Li in Zhuangjia Village add up to eight or nine hundred people, and only three or two can read. The village chief and some tax collectors must be able to read.

Zhao Daqian walked back to the house and saw his wife worshiping the snake fairy devoutly. This is what the old village head said a few days ago that the whole village must worship the Liu family fairy. This is his last wish.The old village head has been the head of the village for decades, and he took the village all the way south when he was half buried in the ground. I don’t know how much suffering he has gone through before he can live here. Yes, so few people do not worship.

Zhao Daqian, who never believed in ghosts, thought about his own child, but also hoped that this snake fairy would really come true.

He picked up the farm incense and bowed down.

The scent of fireworks rose in the village, and the earth danced in the earth temple, but he didn't dare to stop if some monster came and swallowed him in one mouthful.

Upper officials have the way of survival of upper officials, and lower officials have the way of survival of lower officials.The little land priest who seems to be the size of a palm has countless connections.

The land will not meddle in other people's business, and will turn a blind eye to those monsters that have become climates. Even if they enter the village to steal chickens and dogs, they will not meddle, as long as they don't eat people and steal their souls.

If such a thing happened, even the land master would be severely punished by the higher authorities, so this is a limit.

Ordinary monsters will also lure mortals out of the village, eating people and gouging their hearts in the wilderness. Even if the land master sees it, he will not care about it. Tongtian even manages the wilderness and mountains?" It passed.

Therefore, as long as a low-strength low-level god like the land is not unlucky to meet a maddened demon, he will live a long and peaceful life.

Fragrances from Zhuangjia Village floated into the sky and scattered in all directions, vaguely converging on the Valley of the Snake King.In a radius of hundreds of miles, he is the only Liu family who can be regarded as a climate. Who else will fall into his head?
Bai Yan's mind is getting more and more distracted these days, and he still dreams at night, dreaming of mortals bowing down to him, and a skinny old man. This old man is different from other people, with a touch of gold on his head. If you guessed right, it should be a merit.

The longer the doubt in his mind, the bigger it was, and finally Bai Jun decided to go down the mountain to have a look.

In his dream he saw these mortals not far from him, at the foot of the mountain.

A gloomy cloudy sky, with a hazy drizzle,

From the small village at the foot of the mountain came some people with suonas, golden gongs and other objects, with white strips tied on their heads, and were invited into the village.

Bai Yu is hiding at the bottom of the river and slowly approaching along the stream that surrounds the village.

By the river, there are naughty children catching fish and shrimps watching the frantically jumping fishes on the river, and the scurrying shrimps and crabs, and shouting excitedly: "Come on, come on, the fish in the river are diving! The fish in the river jumped into the water!"

A passing scholar saw the children yelling on the bank, and approached curiously with an umbrella and a bag on his back. He saw dozens of fish of various sizes jumping on the river, and some fish scurrying about on the bank. Shrimp and crab.

A group of children happily caught fish and shrimp with their net bags, and the young people in the village also came out to catch fish.

Until a few old people heard this strange thing, they hurriedly scolded the children and some hunters back home.

When the old Huangtou saw the young scholar, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Scholar, but you are on a hurry? If you don't mind it, you can go to our village to have a rest."

Hearing the words, the scholar quickly thanked him and said: "Thank you, old man, Xiaosheng Qi Xiao, from Qijia Town."

The old Huangtou laughed, "My name is Zhao Huangmao, the old man, and everyone in the village calls him the old Huangtouer. My son, there will be joys and funerals in our village, don't you mind?"

Qi Xiao hurriedly cupped his hands in a salute, "At the end of the eighties, those who have both good fortune and longevity in mourning can be called happy mourning. This is also a happy event. It is also a blessing for Xiaosheng to be able to give that old man a blessing."

Uncle Zhao on the side laughed and said: "Scholar, it sounds really nice to speak, come with us into the village for a rest."

A group of people walked into the village, and the originally lively river bank became quiet, empty, and a huge snake's head poked its head out of the river to look at the village.

In the village, a rather thick earthen house compound was full of people, old and young, women who were already mothers, girls who were not yet married, and children playing and playing.

The seven-foot door was full of people, the older ones gathered around the bed, the younger generation knelt in front of the bed, and everyone from older to younger knelt outside the house. A black solid wooden coffin was parked in the next room.

Lying on the earthen bed was the old village chief who was still breathing, surrounded by a few respected old men of the same generation, a copper lamp full of oil was placed on the bedside, but the wick could not burn well.

The old Huangtou looked at the village chief and sighed: "Old Li, it seems that you took the first step, but the rest of us followed you to the south to enjoy more blessings."

The old village head looked at a few people with cloudy eyes, and a gratified smile slowly appeared on his face. They were a group of people who were still by his side after going through the storm. It was a blessing to have them send him the last journey.

Qi Xiao came to the crowd, and the girl who was busy in the back kitchen always blushed and shy when she saw him, such a handsome scholar could be seen at a glance among a group of rural rough people.

He wasn't shy or cowardly, he just chatted with some men in a polite and polite way, and asked them about their customs curiously.

In the house, the son, daughter, and grandchildren of the old village chief knelt down.

Hearing the familiar voices in the house and the warmth of people coming and going, the old village chief felt extremely at ease. The previous generation of village chiefs handed over the dilapidated Zhuangjia Village to him, and now he has lived up to his entrustment after working hard all his life, so he can feel at ease I went to see the old man.

He closed his eyes, and the memories of his whole life flashed in his mind. He grew up with his parents in the fields, learned to do farm work, worked at sunrise, and rested at sunset. He followed a master in the town to work as a waiter in a restaurant. , I asked the old shopkeeper to teach a few words in my spare time, and then my parents asked someone to spend a dime to talk to a matchmaker, and took a woman who was not beautiful but could endure hardships and stand hard work. They had children together. When they were 30 years old In the war-torn villages in the north, many men died in battle. Ren Yazi came to collect the children and forced the village head to death. The mother-in-law also died of illness. The village head entrusted the village to him before he died. , the officials in the county town said all kinds of good things, relying on the little wit who pleases the guests in the restaurant to bring some stability to the village, and worked hard for forty years.

His Majesty the Holy Emperor is going to send troops to the northern barbarians again.He couldn't let the village that had just recovered its popularity wither again.It just so happened that immigrants from the south, who would like to move thousands of miles away to an unfamiliar place?

He resisted all opinions and decided to take the village to the south to avoid the war and was exempted from conscription. He went through untold hardships and came here to settle down.

Now everything in the village is fine, there is no need to experience famine, and it is good to have neighbors who have parents who are troubled, have the strength to gossip, and make noise about trivial matters.

The old village chief has no regrets.

Suddenly, another picture appeared in his mind.

In the small river outside the village, a thick and frightening white snake poked its head out of the water.

Liu Daxian?Did Liu Daxian come to see him too?It turns out that the village is really blessed by Liu Daxian?
The old village head opened his eyes in an instant, and sat up straight with the strength he didn't know where he came from.

The people in the house who were about to mourn were stunned for a moment. When they saw the oil lamp blown out by the wind that the old village chief got up, they suddenly remembered that this is the flashback!

His son hurriedly said: "Father! What else do you want to ask? But what else do you want to eat? My son will make it for you? Or do you want to see who is here?"

The old village head stood up stiffly, walked out of the house under the incredulous eyes of everyone in the house, and walked out of the village without saying a word.

Everyone was astonished, his son grabbed the old Huangtou's hand and said anxiously: "Uncle, what's wrong with my father?"

The old Huangtou also shook his head in confusion, and then said: "Anyway, follow your father quickly!"

So no one dared to speak in the large group of people in the house and yard, and followed the steps of the old village chief and walked out.

Qi Xiao was very surprised. This old man was obviously already thin and his eyes were black, and he was lying on the bed just now and was about to die. How could he suddenly be able to walk now?Could it be that he was bewitched?

He followed the crowd up curiously. It had just rained, and the dirt road in the village was full of mud. The group followed the old village head to the head of the village keeping a distance of one foot.

Aunt Wang asked curiously: "Why does the old village chief have to run here with his last breath on a rainy day? Could it be that he wants to be buried at the entrance of the village?"

Her man was a man with a rough voice, and cursed in a low voice: "Stinky motherfucker! What day is this, your broken mouth is still muttering?"

Aunt Wang gave her man a blank look and stopped talking.

The old village head walked to the head of the village and stood still.

Everyone also stopped, his two sons stepped forward, looked at their father distressedly, and said, "Father, let's go back, it's cold outside, but warm inside."

The old village head just didn't leave, didn't say a word, and looked straight into the distance with his eyes.

The old Huangtou said: "This is not a solution after all. If someone with a heart hears it, they will think that Lao Li is possessed by evil spirits and splash dirty water for nothing.

Call a few young men to carry Lao Li back carefully. "

The young men of several village chiefs went forward when they heard the old uncle's order.

At this moment, the old village chief suddenly raised his hand and pointed forward.

The emaciated black dogs in the village, the captive white geese, and the crows nesting in the trees all screamed in shock and became manic.

Everyone can't help but look.

Following his finger is the dirt road in the village, and in the distance is the farmland under the drizzle, and the green hill standing under the gray-blue sky.

Old Huangtou sighed, "Lao Li, let's go home."

"Crash~"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sound of water from the river not far away.

"Ah! Snake!"

"What a big snake!"

"Oh my god! You monster!"

The old Huangtou looked up, and saw an extremely thick white python crawling out of the small river by the village. The thick snake body, the snake head was different from ordinary snakes, and the jade-white snakes on its body The scales all show that this is not an ordinary giant python.

Fear filled his heart, the old Huangtou looked at the old village chief who was standing not far from the giant python, his heart suddenly flashed, he trembled and yelled loudly: "Shut up, don't shout, this is Baojiaxian!" Already! Get down on your knees and kowtow to Liu Jiaxian!"

A crowd of panic-stricken farmers knelt down when they heard this, and worshiped: "Liu Daxian bless you! Liu Daxian bless you!"

Qi Xiao behind the crowd was full of fear, he was the only one who didn't kneel down, so the perspective of looking at the big snake was more impactful and targeted.

Qi Xiao grunted and swallowed.

Bai Yan looked at the mortals who were kneeling on the ground, and he suddenly realized that the calls came from the beliefs of these people.

Twisting the body, Bai Yu's snake body is not stained with a trace of mud in the mud.Lowering his head, he looked curiously at the old man who was about to pass away.

Is this the human being with meritorious virtues?

Bai Yan curiously stretched out the snake letter to feel the smell of the old man, it was very decayed, and did not have the unique smell of golden light of merit.

The old village chief raised his trembling hand and touched Baijun's head. The cold scales were like iron to the touch, but they were a creation of nature, full of endless mystery and unpredictability.

The old village head looked at the giant python without any fear, but smiled instead. "Thank you Liu Xian for giving the old man a ride, I am very grateful!"

He said incoherently that he was extremely happy to see his life's faith at the last moment before he died.

However, Bai Yan saw a faint golden light flying above the old man's head.

The old man knelt down and said, "I am grateful to Liuxian for protecting the village. I will worship you until the end of my life."

Bai Yan looked at the trace of gold on the top of his head, and suddenly realized that there was still a trace of blood-red ominous light on the top of his head, but now it was disappeared by the faint golden light.

He just felt light all over, and his perception of the world has never been so clear.

Bai Jun nodded to the old man, he didn't care whether the people who went up the mountain were brought up by people from this village, anyway, the people who went up the mountain only survived the three people he let go on purpose.What's more, the little merit of the old village head has resolved his karma, which can be regarded as a reward for this old man of great kindness and virtue.

The old village head turned around with a smile and walked back home without saying a word.

Bai Jun glanced at the old village chief, turned and left, but before leaving, he looked back at the scholar standing among the kneeling crowd.

When Qi Xiao saw the giant python suddenly turned his head and looked at him, he trembled with fright, and almost wanted to run away.

Fortunately, the terrifying giant python swam into the river, causing a huge splash and gradually disappearing.

The villagers reacted after a long shock. When they looked at the old village chief again, he had already left with a faint smile on his face.

After a short while, the piercing sound of suona sounded in the village, as well as the sound of golden gongs striking each other, and vaguely the melodious strings of the erhu, and the sound of crying wafted through the mountains and fields, announcing the death of the old man.

In the drizzle, Baijun turned his head, looked at the village in the distance, vomited the snake letter and remembered its smell.

　Hong Kong Zongwen is a very good seedling, everyone can go and have a look!
