Chapter 34 Shanzhai Altar

There was also a group of people around the gate, one by one. It seemed that there was a long queue from inside. Some were holding children, some were holding meat and rice, and some were fresh fruits. They all stretched their necks and looked inside. Xiaoqiong was curious and couldn't help asking, "Dad Zubu, where are you?"

Dad's face became serious and said slowly, "This is the altar in our village for sacrificing and discussing clan affairs. You came just in time, and the village god is also in it. She is praying for disaster and blessing with the people who came here to worship God before!"

Xiaoqiong said "Oh" thoughtfully and looked at the door. Its color was indistinguishable. It was gray, earthy, yellow, but overall it was golden yellow. You will find that it was made of an endangered species - golden camphor. It looked shiny, and there were several pictures like pictures on it. What exactly is the ancient Yi character of Fu? Xiaoqiong can't understand it. She just thinks that it looks very ancient, mysterious and solemn, with an ancient and profound national atmosphere.

Xiaoqiong doesn't know the words on the door. It looks like a picture and a word, more like a charm. What exactly is it? Xiaoqiong didn't understand it, but felt that it was still very mysterious. She stretched out her head and looked inside. This is a two-entry courtyard, with a slope shape. The more straight it is, the more straight it is. I can't see the head at a glance. The queue is very long, thinking, this There are so many people. Besides, she is still wearing a mask. The goddess will not see that she is coming. She also stretches her head to look inside. There is a lot of people, but there is no sound. She can't help walking inside and comes to a mountain gate. There are several steps in front of the door. The steps look smooth and slippery, as if it has been years, and there is a step on it. On the platform, there is a tall round room behind the platform. There is no door, and there is some light smoke floating out. Xiaoqiong feels that such a building is like a treasure hall of the temple, and there are two big birds guarding the door next to it.

Xiaoqiong couldn't help stepping on the steps. There was a strange feeling under her feet. Qingyouyou carefully went up the steps. She came to the door and stretched out her head to look inside. She saw a bird in her hand and muttering something. In front of her, there was a Yi woman holding a child on her kneeling in front of her. She was listening devoutly, like a Han. Kneel down like a bodhisattva-----.

Behind the goddess, there was a fragrant fog and the fog. Xiaoqiong saw that there were cards, golden, as if they were made of gold, and there were words on it. Specifically, Xiaoqiong couldn't see clearly. Next to her, there were two men who operated the magic weapon with their hands. This magic weapon was strange in ancient times. One magic weapon was like a tiger's head, and the other The magic weapon is a wolf-headed Yi youth wearing a mask. He stood solemnly. This atmosphere made the women holding children in front of them and the slightly sensible children dare not come out. The back stretched their necks and looked forward. Although there were many people, they did not dare to rush up and messed up the order.

Xiaoqiong vaguely felt that the hierarchy in this cottage was still very strict. She couldn't help whispering to Zubu's father, "Dad, who are the people holding magic weapons?"

Dad whispered, "They have no parents since they were young. They grew up in the altar in the cottage. They are the green head that was turned by the witch's mother-in-law. When they were young, they were green in the altar. When they grew up, they became the green head in the altar. Among them, the east green head is the head, followed by the south, west and north green head!"

Xiaoqiong pulled Erhei and was about to withdraw quietly, but the black bird in the god's hand suddenly flew up, and everyone's eyes followed the bird. After circling for a week, the bird fell on Erhei's body. Xiaoqiong instinctively wafted it and tried to drive it away. But the black bird did not scare it down, but attracted the stunned eyes around.

The goddess was shocked and shouted at Xiaoqiong, "Where did you come from? Why are you so ignorant of the rules?"

Xiaoqiong looked at it and instinctively knew that she might have caused trouble. She pulled Erhei's hand and ran out. The goddess immediately said, "Catch them!" The two Yi young men behind her chased them with magic weapons. The old man looked at it, didn't this cause trouble? The girl actually dared to chase the black bird, secretly He stamped his feet secretly. He hated that he didn't tell her the rules here before, so he let her in. What should he do now?

Dad didn't think much about it. He knelt down in a panic and said incoherently, "Dear Zhai God, this is --- these are two goods who came down the mountain. I don't know how to come to my house to learn art. I don't know the rules in our stockade, which disturbs the Zhai God and violates the divine bird--!"

Godmother looked at the figures of Xiaoqiong and Erhei and was faintly shocked, but she was not sure. She muttered, "What -, down the mountain for shopping?"

Dad quickly said, "Yes, Zhai Shen, they don't know this rule. They blame me for not telling them!" After a pause, he said, "If God wants to be punished, let me suffer for the two of them!"

The goddess looked at Father Buzu, who was kneeling on the ground, with a blank expression on her face, but she was a little strange in her heart: "Well, why is it not like-----!" Looking around the crowd, they all lowered their heads, as if they were used to listening to her. They were silent for a moment and said, "It's not your fault. Get up. It's the woman at the foot of the mountain who blasphemed the god!"

The two green heads behind her who held magic weapons looked at each other and felt a little strange. What's wrong with the Zhaishen today? Those who went to learn art did not come to register or make confessions. She didn't even mention it, and she didn't know whether she should remind her. However, in front of everyone, she had not closed her mouth tightly-- .

But when the father saw that the godmother didn't forgive them, he still couldn't get up. He continued to beg, "Respected Zhai God, blame me, blame me. I didn't explain it to them clearly. I hurt them. Please forgive them!"

All the villagers sweated for Zubu's father. They thought that his father was so old that he had to blame the Han people at the foot of the mountain. It was a little worthless. However, on second thought, his father was really honorable--but it made people unbearable, and they didn't know how the goddess would convict him. According to the previous rules, who wants it? She dared to drive away these black birds with their hands. Her fingers would be stamped off or cut off a piece of meat under her hands. Everyone stared at her, and their hearts were about to raise their chest. The goddess closed her eyes and meditated for a while. When she opened her eyes, she saw the goddess opened her mouth and said to Zubu's father with a very big belly: "As long as you Just find the divine bird and let the girl come here to accompany the divine bird!"

Dad listened and exhaled a breath. The villagers also exhaled, and some whispered flattery: "The village god is wise and generous!" But soon he was secretly anxious. This man ran away and could still find it back. The god bird ran away. Where did he find it back? However, Dad couldn't take care of it and knelt down again, respectfully. He kowtowed respectfully to the goddess and said, "Thank you, Zhai God. I'm going to find her, and I'm going, this--God bird--!"

At this time, the goddess had closed her eyes and did not say a word, as if to say one more sentence, which was like giving him great kindness. Dad had to get up from the ground with a sad face. Everyone automatically gave him a way, and the expressions on his face were different. Some are sympathetic, some are helpless, and some take it for granted.

Dad hurriedly ran home--. After Erhei hugged Xiaoqiong and ran for a circle, he dropped the two Yi young men with magic weapons behind him. After turning around, Xiaoqiong found that there was no tail behind him, and her heart calmed down. It was a little strange that the bird suddenly stopped on Erhei's shoulder. He observed carefully and found that it was on it. There is some pine resin.

Before going out in the morning, when I accidentally crossed the woods, I rubbed it a little. Xiaoqiong approached the ball of turpentine and smelled it. There was a strange smell on it. She suddenly realized that the turpentine was similar to the pine resin in the woods at the doorstep. She smelled it again and confirmed that it was the kind of pine resin in her own forest. I guess it may be that I accidentally wiped a little bit when I went out and passed through the woods in the morning.

But what does it matter? At the thought that the lazy beast was almost buried in those pine resin, I felt that this pine resin was a little unusual. I suddenly realized something and vaguely felt that it must have something to do with the divine mother. It may be a kind of demon witchcraft she used. Besides, there are often some birds in the woods. You, but it has never been wrapped in by those pine resins.

Xiaoqiong must have attracted the black bird. After thinking about it, she still returned to her father's house. Seeing that her father-in-law had not woken up, Xiaoqiong asked Erhei to pinch his nose. She went to the well and scooped some cold water into his mouth before pouring it twice. His throat moved twice, and then He coughed, opened his eyes, and woke up completely. He looked confused and didn't know what the two were going to do to him.

Xiaoqiong just wanted to tell him that she was in trouble, so she walked quickly, but she heard a shouting voice outside the house. She instinctively stretched out her head and looked into the yard. Seeing that her father had come back, followed by a group of Yi, rushing into the room bustlingly and secretly shouted, "It's not good, I can't run away!"
