Chapter 511 Three Saints of the Land
The three saints were ordered to break through three thousand realms, and the land fairy came to Wuxu Village (Part 2)
The three saints picked up the bouquet of flowers and smiled, "Mother-in-law, I'll give them all to you. If you take them and plant them by the bridge, you won't be bored."
Meng Po saw that the purple mandra was the best and smiled, "Well, it's rare for you to give up your love. It's the first time I've seen such a good purple mandra."
The three saints laughed and said, "It's not worth anything. It's also bought in the vast city. You can collect it."
Meng Po put all the bouquets in the universe bag and nodded and smiled, "From now on, I will fall by the bridge and give them a new name. They are all given to me by you. Let's call them parting flowers."
The three saints sighed, "The parting flowers don't sound good, but Bridge, parting, hey, how sad it sounds. Aren't you giving people ecstasy soup on Nahe Bridge? Isn't it good for them to drink your soup, forget all their sorrows and troubles, and walk happily through your bridge?
Meng Po nodded repeatedly and praised: "Good name, good meaning. Look! After this forest, it will be Wuxu Village.
As soon as she entered the forest, she heard the melodious flute from afar. The three saints asked strangely. Meng Po smiled and said, "This is the shepherd boy in the village herding cattle. You often hear it."
The three saints said, "Do the people in Wuxu Village also know you?" What did I say when I saw it? Just say that I'm the new landlady?
Meng Po smiled and said, "Nearly hundreds of families in Wuxu Village recognize me, but they don't know that I am their landlady. They only know that my cottage is far away under Mount Buxian Mountain, and the villagers gather to live together. When you go there, you follow what I said. You are my distant niece. Help me take care of the house and vegetables, and I will live here in the future. I will go back to my hometown for retirement.
The three saints nodded and answered, "So that's it. They thought you were an old woman who moved from other places. Ha ha, you used to live outside the village alone?"
Meng Po smiled and said, "Yes, of course, you can't live in the village. It's convenient to live far away at the foot of Mount Bixian to perform some spells, otherwise it will disturb the people. If you ask, you said that you fled from Suzhou Prefecture to defect to your mother-in-law. In addition, there is a land temple in the village. You can collect incense money every 15th. By the way, listen to the people's wishes, complaints, blessings and so on, and try to secretly help them realize their wishes. This is the duty of the land parents and women.
At this time, the donkey car rushed into Wuxu Village, and a few peasant village aunts who had leisurely chatted at the head of the village saw it and surrounded them one after another and said, "Ah! Where did Mrs. Meng go to the market again? I bought so many things. Whose girl is this?
The three saints can't wait to say that I am a fairy, but after all, they are still mortal. They are all ordinary people under their own rule. Well, they all look simple and kind. They are all looking at themselves curiously, so they have to jump out of the car according to Meng Po's. The three saints smiled sweetly and said, "My name is the Three Saints. I'm from Jiangnan. Shi, who came all the way to Dongshan County to defect to her mother-in-law, and the three saints met the aunts and sisters.
Meng Po also smiled and said, "She is my distant niece. Oh, it's good if she comes, and the old lady can go back to her hometown at ease. The acres of the house here have been handed over to the three saints. You have to take good care of my precious niece."
The peasant women in the village laughed and said, "Oh! It turned out to be a relative of Grandma Meng. What a handsome girl. Don't worry, we will often take care of her after you leave.
The three saints thanked everyone for their great blessings. Everyone looked at the application that Meng Po bought for the three saints from Shuangfeng Town. It was also for ordinary household use. They just laughed and said, "My wife is willing to spend money and buy new things."
In a short time, half of the village knew that the new distant relative of Meng Po was called the Three Saints. She looked amazing and had a sweet mouth. They came out to have a look one after another. The Three Saints were not surprised and generously greeted everyone for all blessings.
At the same time, the three saints are also paying attention to the people of Wuxu Village, remembering the appearance of each person, and listening to Meng Po introduce their names to them one by one. They know that if they want to be a good landlady here, they don't even know the villagers.
And the people of Wuxu Village saw that the three saints were beautiful, and they were also easy-going and generous. Unlike the ladies in the city, they were twisted like jasper, and there was no big lady all over their bodies. They couldn't help praising Grandma Meng for having a good niece.
Meng Po and the three saints finally got rid of the entanglement of the villagers. They led Meng Po's paper donkey cart all the way to the end of the village, went up the stream and turned a corner. The road was full of trees and flowers, and even the barren grass could be kneeless, and the stream flowed, flowing from the mountain, bypassing the Wuxu Village, and through the woods. It should be injected into the river of Shuangfeng Town.
The three saints gently pushed the firewood door, and came into view a more unique farm yard. There were flowers and plants under the eaves. The three saints were good at this. After all, she stayed under the Hundred Flowers Fairy in the Qionghua Palace for three years. When she saw the flowers and plants, she felt very kind. The three saints were happy and took the bedding, teapots and other daily necessities with Meng Po. Move the house.
There are three main rooms in the small mountain courtyard, with a wooden house in the middle, a grass hall and a brick house on both sides.
Meng Po smiled and said, "It will be yours in the future. Come into the room and have a look. My mother-in-law will pack her things in the universe bag and spread yours."
Meng Po took out the Qiankun bag, folded herself neatly quilt, together with the mat sheets, rolled it into the Qiankun bag, blew the fairy air, and cleaned it up. Then she spread a new quilt for the three saints and hung the mandarin net. Meng Po smiled and said, "Three saints, if you have any application that your mother-in-law did not expect, I went to Shuangfeng Town to buy it. I saw the third blue pottery jar over there. There are more than ten taels of silver in it. You can spend it. In the future, the monthly incense money can be divided into 20%, and there is nothing to buy enough.
The three saints refused and said, "It's better for my mother-in-law to take the ghost city flowers. After thinking about it, the three saints have bought all the things that should be used. There's nothing wrong."
Meng Po smiled and said, "Silly boy, you can't use mortal silver in the ghost city of Fongdu. Paper money is popular there, and no one wants silver."
The three saints nodded: "Oh! I heard that after the death of mortals, family members will burn paper money for him to burn gold and silver leaves, which turned out to be circulated in the underworld.
Meng Po said, "Yes, these calligraphy and painting antiques are left to you. My mother-in-law threw her teacup and washbasin into the universe bag and took them away."
The three saints said, "Well, I have a new one, mother-in-law, when will you leave?"
Meng Po smiled and said, "After settling down, I should go back to Chenghuang's death. Do you mean that I was transferred to Bindu Nai Bridge? I guess it will take another day or two, either tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
The three saints were shocked and said, "Mother-in-law, are you leaving today?"
Meng Po said, "Yes, you see, the sun will set in more than an hour. My mother-in-law has to leave early. Is there anything else you don't understand?"
The three saints stayed and said, "Why don't you live here with the three saints first? The three saints have never been alone at night. How terrible it is for these deep mountains and forests and monsters."
Meng Po smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? Isn't my old lady alone here these years? I'm used to living here. If there is nothing to do, the old lady can leave first."
Meng Po said she would leave, but the three saints couldn't stay, so she had to say, "Grandma Meng, I'll see you off tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
Mang Po smiled and said, "Child, no, this is a paper donkey. You have it. My mother-in-law also has a baby, a paper sedan chair. When you break down two cucumbers or some vegetables, you can detain them into human figures to carry the sedan chair, which is even more convenient. Look!"
Meng Po really took off two beans and threw them with the paper sedan chair together. Sure enough, she turned into two people in green carrying the sedan chair. The three saints couldn't help admiring: "Uh-huh, it's the same as the real thing!"
Meng Po smiled and said, "When you close it, you'd better pat the car pole and shout it."
The three saints did the same. As expected, they put away the paper sedan chair and fell two beans. They couldn't help laughing happily.
Meng Po finally walked out of the courtyard and smiled, "My mother-in-law is leaving now. Goodbye, the three saints!"
The three saints said, "Hey! Mother-in-law, where can I get incense money every month?
"The land temple at the west end of the village!"
Meng Po turned into a green light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After Meng Po left, the three saints had nothing to do, so they took advantage of the dusk. The villagers fell asleep and rushed to the land temple to clean up first and familiarize themselves with the environment.
The land temple is in the west of the village of Wuxu Village. The three saints walked into the quiet Wuxu village with lanterns and occasionally heard a few dog barks in the deep alleys, which made the night more silent.
Before the three saints came to the land temple, they first looked at the uninhabited and carried a blindfold method. A fog enveloped the land temple, so that only the dark night could be seen outside and the land temple in the thick fog could not be seen.
Squeakly pushed open the temple door of the land temple, first waved gently with the sleeve of the robe, rolled up a gust of wind, blowing down the wall and the floating earth on the statue of the land god.
The small single temple is the place where the three saints come to do business every fifteenth day of the first lunar month. As long as the three saints do, they hide behind the gods, listen to the villagers' prayers, ask for money, and avoid disaster. If the villagers have any hardships, the three saints have to write them down one by one and find a way to solve it. For the benefit of the people of one side, the kind and hard-working people will be rewarded, and the lazy ones with bad water will be punished. This is what Meng Po taught her how to be a good landlady.
Of course, they are also responsible for collecting incense money. No matter what the people worship and how much incense money they have lost in the merit box, the three saints have to count them out. First, they go to the city God Temple in the vast city, check the incense money, convert it into two pieces of silver, draw 10% by the vast city gods, and the rest are brought back by the three saints themselves.
The three saints thought of this and waited for the dust in the temple to dissipate before she polished the flint and lit the candles.
There are two statues in the temple of the land temple. There are two statues of the land and the land mother-in-law. There are couplets with peach charms hanging on both sides, but they have long been unable to see clearly. The three saints lowered their heads and thought for a moment, and immediately blew their fairy spirit and drew the big characters of dragons flying and phoenix dancing: the temple is small magic power, and the sky is high and the sun is long.
The three saints smiled and secretly said that although she was a small land woman, she was ranked at the end of ghosts and immortals. Who knew that she might be listed as a Yaochi fairy in the future and returned to the heavenly palace, and her merits would be perfect.
The Jade Emperor once said that it would take 3,000 years to enter Pantaoyuan to be a fairy, while Yaochi Fairy would take 9,000 years to practice, but the three saints were very confident to prove to them that they were no worse than the nine thousand years of Taoist fairies.
A journey of thousands of miles begins with a single step.
The three saints picked up the dust and broom in the corner of the land temple, wiped the dust on the two land gods. After hiding with the gods of the land, they experienced it first. They could steal the futon in the temple from the small gap between the immortal's arms and crutches. It is most appropriate to sit here and listen to listen to the sacrifices of the villagers.
After cleaning the statue, the three saints cleaned up the table, the mantle, and set up the incense burner. Everything was ready. Then she picked up the broom to clean up the cracks in the temple.
I was busy for half an update, and it was almost done. The three saints took off the golden hairpin, turned them into a big bucket, carried mana to fly out of the bucket, drew water from the stream by the village, brought them back to sprinkle water, and cleaned the land temple. The three saints washed their hands and took back the golden hairpin. Then they pulled it down and carried the futon to the threshold. Last release, I sat on the futon and slowly became tired. After a short rest, the fog of the blinding eyes dissipated and restored the moonlit and windy night outside the land temple.

Since then, the three saints have lived in the mountain courtyard outside Wuxu Village. Every 15 o'clock on the first lunar month, she came to Wuxu Village to be her landlady. The locals regarded her as a god, and the reputation of the three fairies spread.
Time flies. Until now, it happens to be the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month. In addition to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the land parents and land women also have to come to the land temple for routine business.
On this day, the three saints sat behind the statue of the land mother-in-law and waited for the villagers who served incense. The three saints looked out through the gate of the land temple and saw that every household in Wuxu Village had raised cooking smoke. The three saints knew that when they had eaten, they would definitely come to the land temple to offer incense.
The three saints calculated the date and also calculated the matters handed down to her by the Empress Nuwa. She secretly said that there must be a bright moon prince and a phoenix picking bell from the cold ice gate today, that is, the autumn water mentioned by the Empress Nuwa to come to her.
The three saints had to wait and sit quietly on the edge of the mantle in a daze, as if she were really like a statue of clay and wood carving, and she was always lonely before being burned.
The three saints thought that the villagers living in the west of the village would be the first to come. Who would have thought that more than one came first. The leader is the grandfather from the blacksmith's house in the east of the village. He has a childlike face. He is more than ancient times and usually has a dragon head crutch. Every time the three saints come to Wuxu Village, she often sits at the mouth of the alley. Say hello to grandpa. The three saints know that the elders in the village are also the elders of the village.
Today, there is no exception. Grandpa Lizheng led the people, and the commander handed out chicken, duck, fish, small animal tribute paint plates and incense candle paper and horses. According to the customs of Dongshan County, especially the old system of Mangcang County, the county guard and county magistrates, and then each township should set up three elders, and then each village is highly valued. For Lizheng or the head of the pavilion, only Lizheng or the pavilion chief or a smaller householder can be qualified to contribute three animals during the sacrifice.
The three saints think that the worship she can enjoy is still the little three animals, chickens, ducks and fish. The landlady of the land is still not qualified to be sacrificed by the three animals of pigs, cattle and sheep. She can only sigh and hears of the old village head lead several villagers to kneel down and burn paper horses. Praying for blessings is nothing more than some good weather. May The land mother-in-law can bless the safety of one party, and the people of Wuxu Village can live and work in peace and contentment, etc.
After that, there is the incense money donated to the merit box, plus the burned yellow paper. About how many of the three saints have to register, because the main income circulating in the mortal world is the incense money of the merit box. A few hangings of money should not be wrong, but the burning candle paper horse has to be heard by heaven, and it needs to be clear. Cangchenghuang.
After listening to the Sansheng women's clothing, Grandpa led the villagers' prayers and nodded secretly, so they cleaned it up.
After many times, several villagers came, who donated incense money, asked for money, and asked for disasters. There was a sign box on the divine case. The three saints were asked by them to draw lots by themselves. Seeing that they were loyal and honest, they lost their magic power and signed it. Naturally, they had no money or chance to do nothing.
Later, many people came one after another, and the three saints finally waited for the familiar villagers, but they still did not see the shadow of the Mingyue son mentioned by the Empress Nuwa.
Until later, the three saints hid behind the statue, heard the sound of Feng Cailing and Qin'er, and said secretly: Well, Qiu Shui came, and I think that Mr. Mingyue must have also arrived. Sure enough, it was not as Nvwa's expectation.
Later, the three saints heard the three smiles of Mr. Mingyue and secretly annoyed him. When the bright moon really crashed into the statue and found the three saints, the three saints made a small joke with him with a handkerchief.
