Fantasy: Immortality starts with absorbing demons
Chapter 162 Peach Blossom Village Part 2
After entering Taohua Village, Han Yi walked and looked at the surrounding environment.
"This is the symbol of our Peach Blossom Village, Tao Mo Mo!"
When they reached the center of the village, Tao Gu suddenly stopped and introduced her proudly.
In the middle of the village, there is an old peach tree, which is seven or eight meters high. It cannot be surrounded by four or five people. There is also a circle of protection made of fine green bricks around the tree, and on the outside of Peach Blossom Village, The tattered wooden fence provides a stark contrast.
On the blue brick floor, there is a gold-lacquered incense burner, with three thick brown sandalwood sticks stuck in it. The ashes are piled all over the burner, and even fall to the ground with the wind. On the ground, there is also an obvious circle of long-term kowtows and Traces left by burning paper
In addition, this old peach tree has rough bark and dense branches. Although it is winter and there are no green leaves at all, the branches are covered with red ropes for blessings and longevity, making the branches heavy.
And if you look carefully, you can see that the hanging red ropes are old and new. Some of the red ropes have a mottled appearance and most of the red color has faded. Some of the red ropes are brand new, as if they were just hung up in the past few days.
"Is it peach? I dare to ask Aunt Tao, is there anything special here?"
Han Yi had an idea and asked.
"If I talk about this, it would be a long story..."
Tao Gu couldn't bear the trouble and started to explain.
It turns out that a long time ago, there was a drought in Taohua Village. The rice was wilted and the leaves were scorched black. If it didn't rain, the harvest for the year would be lost!
With no other choice, the villagers first went to the nearby Dragon King Temple to collectively worship, burn incense and make wishes, praying to the Dragon King and his grandmother for rain, but to no avail.
Later, the big guy raised funds and spent a lot of money to hire a stage crew. They came to the Dragon King Temple to sing operas and beat gongs and drums. They wanted to alarm the Dragon King and "lazy dragon comes out of the cave" to entertain the Dragon King and make him happy. The Dragon King's mood When you feel comfortable, you will naturally give rain to the world.
As a result, nothing happened. Now, the villagers of Taohua Village exploded and couldn't bear it anymore.
Some people from poor families rolled up their trouser legs and knelt on the gravel in front of the Dragon King Temple. They put iron wires on the skin of their arms and hung a pair of guillotine blades. They burned incense and kowtowed, while their bodies were dripping with blood. Shout to heaven and earth.
But the Dragon King is very hard-hearted. Even with this behavior, the sky is still cloudless and sunny!
The villagers tried their best, but to no avail. In a fit of anger, they demolished the Dragon King Temple, took out all the statues of the Dragon King with golden bodies, and exposed them to the sun!
At this time, an old man in the village said that it is better to worship oneself than to worship gods. Taohua Village was built because of this old peach tree, so it is better to pray to the old peach tree.
A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor. The group had no choice but to watch their crops die of heat, so they burned incense and prayed to the old peach tree.
Unexpectedly, on the night after I finished praying, several low-pressure clouds appeared in the sky. Immediately, thunder roared and rain fell heavily. It rained all day and all night, saving the crops!
Since then, the villagers nearby have begun to worship the old peach tree, praying for rain and wind, weddings and funerals, construction of new houses, and asking for children and illnesses. On every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, there is no shortage of fruits and melons. Burn incense and paper. During major festivals such as the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year's Eve, funds are raised to build theater troupes, and gongs and drums are played to make it lively.
What's even more mysterious is that not long ago, some villagers had a dream about an old man who called himself "Tao Mo Mo" and couldn't see clearly, and asked them to build a temple and a monument for the old peach tree!
After this person woke up, he spread the story, and the name Tao Mo Mo was spread.
"Build a temple and erect a monument? Tao Gu, if you have this spare money, why not repair the wooden fence around the village? Wouldn't it be safer? Or repair the leaky house at home. Wouldn't this winter be warmer?"
Han Yi couldn't help but speak.
"Young Master, this is wrong. Without Tao Mo Mo's care, how could we in Tao Hua Village have the wonderful life we have today? Building a temple and a monument for Tao Hua Mo Mo is the innermost wish of everyone in Tao Hua Village. !”
Tao Gu said with a pious look on her face, clasping her hands together.
"...."
Han Yi was speechless for a moment. As an atheist, he no longer knew how to respond to this kind of thing.
"Um?"
At this time, he felt his clothes being pulled by someone, and he looked back.
Bai Sanren shook his head gently at him. Han Yi understood instantly and started chatting with Tao Gu about the weather, food and other commonplace topics.
Soon, the three of them walked past the old peach tree and came to a large yard.
Compared with other loess shacks in the village, this large courtyard is much more elegant. The white walls and green tiles are particularly eye-catching, and there is a brick wall made of glutinous rice lime mortar around it.
There are only a few dozen families in the entire Taohua Village, and this family should be the richest.
At this time, Tao Gu stopped and shouted to the children playing and vaulting under the big tree: "Da Mao, stop playing, go home and eat!"
The children squatted on the ground and acted like horses. They seemed to be having fun and did not hear Aunt Tao's voice.
"Da Mao!"
Tao Gu's voice suddenly rose an octave, completely different from the soft, gentle and gentle way she had just spoken.
After hearing the familiar voice, Da Mao stood up suddenly and stood up straight.
"Oh, Da Mao, you are being lazy and promised that the loser will be fooled!"
The child who was originally preparing to jump on the horse was knocked to the ground by him, and fell on his back, causing other children to laugh.
"No more playing, no more playing, my mother is calling me! I won't cheat, I will be a horse next time!" Da Mao ran towards Tao Gu with his feet spread out, running very fast. Tao Gu's words were like the sound of nature to him who was about to be a horse.
"Sorry to make you laugh, this is a child, in the countryside, no one educates, a little vulgar..."
As if she thought of something, Tao Gu turned around and glanced at Han Yi behind her, looking a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, children, fighting and being energetic is normal! I was more naughty than him when I was a child!"
Han Yi smiled and said with understanding.
Tao Gu smiled and stretched out her hand to fiddle with the hair at her temples.
It was not intentional, but because of the large range of movement, the collar of the loose shirt fell down, revealing a large area of snow-white chest and the bottomless ravine.
No underwear... Han Yi glanced at it and turned his eyes away.
Tao Gu fiddled with her collar, squatted down, took out a handkerchief from her bosom, and wiped Da Mao's face clockwise, wiping his dirty face clean.
