my weird life.

Chapter 487 Catch the Tiger Lang Temple (12)

The cement road extended for a distance of one or two kilometers into the deep forest before coming to an abrupt end.

the end of the road,

Still lush forests.

A cobbled road winds its way through the forest.

Yun Nishang asked Jiang Yingying about the way ahead, so she drove a black off-road vehicle up the dirt road and staggered on the potholed dirt road. After walking for more than ten minutes, the road ahead finally became clear.

Green pines and cypresses surround a small temple.

The ground was paved with cement in front of the temple.

The three doors on the left and right of the small temple are all open, and the words "Chuhulang Temple" are written on the forehead.

The shape of the ridge and eaves of the gate tower is different from that of many newly built temples and Taoist buildings. It can be seen that this temple has a history.

The off-road vehicle stopped on the edge of the ground.

Su Wu, Yun Nishang, and Jiang Yingying got out of the car one after another.

In the right door of the temple, there is a table.

An old man in plain clothes was sitting behind the table. He saw Su Wu and his party approaching the temple gate, he stood up quickly, and looked at the three people coming from the door, with hesitant eyes, as if he wanted to greet something, He didn't dare to speak rashly.

Jiang Yingying followed Su Wu, and when she saw the old man, she waved her hand and wanted to talk.

Yun Nishang had already stepped forward before her, and said gently to the old man: "Hi, we have greeted the 'religious affairs unit', and we are folklore scholars who came to visit and investigate the Hulang Temple. You should receive news right?"

"Hey, that's right!" The old man nodded repeatedly, looked at Yun Nishang, then turned to look at Su Wu, and reached out to shake Su Wu's hand, "I received a call saying that there are folklore scholars coming to investigate, and the patriarchal unit And specifically asked me,
No matter what requests you two have, I have to do my best to satisfy them!
When I saw you just now, I still dare not recognize you.
Really young and promising, young and promising! "

The old man didn't let go of Su Wu's hand, his eyes seemed to be glued to Su Wu's face, and he kept staring at Su Wu.

Su Wu couldn't bear the old man's enthusiasm, so he withdrew his hand from the other party's hand, and said with a smile: "We travel all over the country, investigate and research everywhere, and eat and sleep in the open, how can we be young and promising?
Sir, stop joking.
Let's take a look at this temple first! "

This old man should be the manager and caretaker of Zhuohulang Temple.

After all, this temple is quite old,
The buildings in the temple are also ancient buildings with a certain historical value, so they naturally need someone to guard and protect them at all times.

"All right, then I'll lead you around and have a look!"

With a warm expression, the old man walked beside Su Wu, guiding Su Wu as a 'tour guide'.

Jiang Yingying followed behind,
Seeing that the old man didn't realize that he was there,

It seems that I can't see myself.

She looked at Su Wu in front of her in a daze, and finally couldn't help calling out: "Grandpa Li!"

Hearing her call, the old man turned around and noticed Jiang Yingying's existence. He grinned: "Yingying is here too, where is your grandpa? Why didn't you come with you?
I harvested a lot of radishes in the vegetable garden today, you can take some back to make soup later! "

finished speaking,
The old man turned to chat with Su Wu again.

He seemed to have a special connection with Su Wu, and he started talking when he saw Su Wu.

Jiang Yingying always thought that the old man who took care of the "Zhuhulang Temple" was a gentle but reticent old man who liked to play chess, but she didn't expect the other party to have such a talkative side.

"How long has the uncle guarded this temple?
Do you know anything about this temple? "

Su Wu, who was walking ahead, asked the old man.

The old man nodded again and again, with a look of knowing everything and talking endlessly, and replied: "This Zhuhulang Temple can be clearly a temple in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. At that time, the local people built this temple for the sake of To commemorate a fairy who solved the disaster for the people here.

The fairy rode the tiger and solved some terrible and difficult things for the local people.

Hence the name 'Catch the Tiger'.

After solving the scourge, "Catch the Tiger Lang" is also missing.

Since then, wandering Taoist priests and begging monks often stayed in this temple, and there were also Taoist priests who borrowed the name of "Tiger Catch Immortal" from this temple to cast down demons everywhere.

Therefore, some magic tools for subjugating demons and demons were left in the temple.

——Those things were left by Taoist monks from outside, not Zhuhulang himself. "

"Solved something terrible?

Master, do you know what's going on? "Su Wu turned to look at the old man.

The old man shook his head: "I'm not from that time either, how can I know what Zhu Hulang solved?

This incident was recorded in our local county annals,
But it is also unclear about the specifics of the matter. "

"County Chronicle?
Where can I find the local county chronicles? " Su Wu then asked.

"You should be able to find it in the county library, right?" The old man was also a little uncertain about this.

He accompanied Su Wu into the main hall of the temple.

In front of the wall facing the door,
A statue of a god was erected.

The statue was dressed in a coir raincoat made of waterfowl feathers, with a round face and big eyes, and sat on the back of a colorful tiger.

The statue of the god is carrying a girdle bag, and the tiger is carrying a basket.

There seemed to be piles of snow-white rice grains in the baskets.

Seeing those shaped rice grains, Su Wu's pupils shrank.

His gaze then fell on the handprint formed in the hand of the young idol—'Heart Lamp Seal'!
Before he established the Zaojun Temple and re-established the "Yin Ximai Zaozhuang", there was no such handprint gesture as the "Heart Lamp Seal" in the world. It was also in memory of his master that he accidentally discovered that this handprint can be a heart pulse. Many gods on the outline continue to light up,

So spontaneously formed this seal,

The younger brothers and younger sisters all followed him to form this kind of India.

Therefore,
The current 'Zhuhulang' enshrined in the main hall is very likely to have a deep connection with the 'Yinximaizao Team'.

The face of the god statue looks like a young man, and it is difficult for Su Wu to get any clues from the appearance of the god statue. After all, no matter who makes the god statue in Taiya, it is impossible to make the face of the god like a human.
There is a big taboo!

On this point, the habits of descending in one continuous line in Taiya are quite different from those in the Secret Tibetan Region.

After the death of many Hutuktus in the Secret Tibetan Region, they will leave gold and bronze statues in the world, and the faces of the statues are almost exactly the same as those in life.

Su Wu can only judge from the various details of this statue whether the young man is the successor of the 'Yin Xi Mai Zao Class'?
Even his own junior?
- Leftover dog? !

Before leaving the Kitchen God simulation, he taught Gousheng the complete "Huyi Mingwang's reliance on chakra practice method". If he really masters the power of Huyi Mingwang, it will not be difficult to subdue and raise a fierce tiger!

Then this statue,
Could it be that the local people set it up to commemorate Gou Sheng?

Su Wu looked up at the tall statue, his thoughts churning unceasingly.

"This clay sculpture has been repaired more than ten times in the middle, and it took five or six times to repaint it with gold paint." The temple guard of Zhuohulang Temple and Su Wu said with emotion as they stared at the statue together.

bow your head,
Su Wu saw one after another magic weapon enshrined in front of the statue,

A round incense burner stands in front of it.

The incense burns in the furnace, and the aroma curls up.

——He didn't see the 'stone-made brazier' that the stove team must have to open the temple, which shows that this temple is indeed a normal mud-bodied temple, not a 'strange mud-bodied temple'.

"How does the old man know how many times this mud tire has been repaired?" Su Wu asked the old man, while picking up a stick of incense from the incense burner, lit it on the candle, and inserted it into the incense burner.

He looked at the slowly burning incense sticks,

The old man's voice sounded in my ears: "Our ancestors have guarded this temple for generations, of course we know this well!

When I can remember, this temple was guarded by my grandfather.

my grandpa passed away

When my father was old, he would come to guard the temple.

When he is gone,
I came back from a part-time job and I was old, so I was the one who guarded the temple. "

"Since this temple was built, your family has been guarding this temple?" Su Wu suddenly turned to look at the old man.

The old man nodded calmly and said, "Yes."

"Then your family has guarded this temple for so many years,
Could it be that there are no written records or records left behind? "

"Hi!

How could there be so many people who were literate before?
Not to mention leaving written records, there were not many people who could write their own names before.

This year, I have started to record the damage and repair records of things in this temple, but you probably don’t want to read this, do you? "The old man shook his hand and said with a smile.

Su Wu was silent for a while.

The old man observed his expression, at this moment he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Su Wu, Su Wu waved his hand and said, "I seldom smoke."

He has barely smoked now.

The old man lit his cigarette,

With a rattling twitch,
The smoke hid his face,
It made his eyes look a little illusory.

While puffing, he said: "Speaking of writing names, I remember that my grandfather told me one thing-this Li in our family, and the local 'Tangzhou Li' in Tangcheng, and the people who escaped later. None of the 'jujube plums' are one-of-a-kind.

The 'Li' in our family is 'Zhuhu Li'.

The immortal who caught the tiger asked my ancestors for help, and gave my ancestors his surname! "

plum!
Su Wu closed his eyes.

Thinking of Master handing me a branch and asking me to write the names of 'Li Wu' and 'Li Yueshan' to him stroke by stroke.

……

"This white radish is crunchy and sweet, stewed with mutton and stewed with soup, it's delicious!"

"It's enough, it's enough, I can't finish it, Grandpa Li."

"Take more, take more!"

After stuffing the plastic bags to the brim with big white radishes, old man Li waved goodbye to Su Wu and his party. He leaned against the temple gate and watched Su Wu and his party get into the off-road vehicle. The black car drove in. Gradually disappeared into the deep forest.

The old man took out another cigarette,
Caught between fingers, not lit,
There was some confusion in his eyes.

Confused about why I am so kind to that strange young male folklorist for no reason?
Is it because our two ancestors are related?
Old man Li was amused by the thought that suddenly appeared in his mind,
He lit his cigarette, smoked it, and turned to the backyard of the temple to see if the rice was cooked, ready for dinner.
