Fairy Tea Temple Notes

Ke Shicheng took a bucket of water and climbed up the cliff to water the tea trees. Under the morning sun, Daoist Ke looked dignified, fluttering his sleeves in the wind.A four-legged snake with a red mark on its head looked up at the cliff, and what it saw was not Ke Daochang, but the verdant fairy tea tree, although it knew it was just an afterimage.

When it was young, it used to pick up the falling tea leaves under the cliff. Whether it rolled off the cliff, broke its claws, or fought with other animals, injured its eyes or abdomen, as long as it chewed the tea and paste it on the wound, See you now.

Ke Shicheng jumped down the cliff, seeing this familiar land male snake, he thought it had come again.

30 years ago, a thunderbolt struck the fairy tea temple and also the fairy tea tree. Both the tree and the temple were burnt down.

It is easy to rebuild a Taoist temple, but it is not easy to revive a fairy tea tree. Therefore, Ke Shicheng's master has to go out every year to find a way to revive the wood spirit.

This year, I have been away for a long time, and it has been almost two months now. Ke Shicheng guards the ancient fairy tea temple by himself, living a leisurely life.

Ke Shicheng left the well and came under the old tree where he rested on weekdays.Sitting under the old tree is a familiar partner He Qing, and there is a yellow-brown little gray on the stone table.Xiao Hui was flying around on the table, as if he was practicing flying. Every time it was about to fall off the edge of the table, He Qing would pick it up and put it back in the center of the stone table, quite patiently.

"He Qing, I'm going to Shajin Town today, and I have a mission."

Ke Shicheng sat down opposite He Qing, he picked up the tea set familiarly, and boiled water to make tea.

"Is Shajin Town far from us?"

"It's not too far, just sit down and go."

Ke Shicheng washed the tea set with the water for the first brewing, poured the tea into the cup after making the second tea, clamped the cup with a wooden clip, and handed it to He Qing.

He Qing tapped the table with his fingers, which is the local tea drinking habit, which He Qing learned when drinking tea with his old uncle and Archie.Seems like a ritual of honoring the tea pourer?

Frequently coming to the Fairy Tea Temple, He Qing developed the habit of drinking tea unknowingly.Sitting in the quiet Taoist temple, tasting a cup of good tea, looking at the dense vegetation on the mountain and the clouds in the distance, you will feel surprisingly peaceful and comfortable.

But it probably has something to do with the people who drink tea together.

He Qing sipped his tea and glanced at Daoist Ke sitting beside him.

"Shi Cheng, can I follow?"

He Qing raised his index finger and poked his own chest, no matter his movements or expressions, he looked dumbfounded.He Qing is still quite curious about the life of Taoist priests catching ghosts and subduing demons.

"can."

"Do I need to prepare anything?"

"Need not."

With me here, I will protect you.

"Shi Cheng, what kind of commission is it?"

Curiosity is curiosity, but also ask what kind of entrustment, what kind of monsters and ghosts.

"It is said that the foundation has provoked ghosts."

Ke Shi became He Qingxucha, speaking indifferently.

"The foundation laying is to build some important building. Before breaking the ground, bury a stone tablet in the soil, right?"

"almost."

After receiving Ke Shicheng's reply, He Qing turned on his mobile phone and checked the information about the foundation laying.

"It turns out that this kind of ceremony is to notify the unowned ghosts in the ground, or things like spirits to move quickly, and to dig here."

He Qing put down the phone, drank the cup of cold tea, put the empty cup back on the table, and Ke Shicheng immediately refilled He Qing's tea. As a tea maker, he was very considerate.

"Shi Cheng, what if they refuse to move?"

"Well, usually people with status and reputation are invited to attend the foundation laying ceremony and shovel the soil with a shovel."

He Qing looked down at the information found on the phone, asking and answering.

"It turns out that ghosts are also afraid of power."

He Qing muttered to himself.

"Shi Cheng, what will happen if the ghosts refuse to move, but the land is occupied by people to build?"

"There are many scenarios."

Ke Shicheng still drank tea calmly.

"What happened to the client?"

Something bad must have happened, so Ke Shicheng was invited to help.

"The client's name is Li Hui. 20 years ago, when a stage was built in the village, his father participated in the foundation laying and was the first person to hold the shovel. Three months after the foundation laying, his father died."

Ke Shicheng used calm words to describe what the client told him.

"After three months, could it be a coincidence?"

This is the first time He Qing has heard of such a thing, and he has never been in contact with it on weekdays.

"Shi Cheng, this happened 20 years ago, why did he entrust you now?"

"He Qing, read his story."

Ke Shicheng handed He Qing his mobile phone. Since he promised to let He Qing follow up, he should let He Qing know what kind of entrustment it is.He Qing took Ke Shicheng's mobile phone, read the message sent by the client, and learned about the general situation.

The client is Li Hui, a wealthy businessman.

Li Hui's father, Li Jinfu, made a fortune in clothing accessories business and was keen on public welfare in his hometown.That year, Li Jinfu donated money to the village to build a stage and participated in the foundation laying of the stage.The foundation laying ceremony was completed, the villagers held a banquet, and Li Jinfu had a drink. On the way home that night, he bumped into a terrifying monster near the construction site of the stage.In Li Jinfu's description before his death, this monster was a black mass, very huge, with eyes like lanterns.The monster stood in the way, lowered its head and glared at Li Jinfu, and at the same time made a strange sound similar to "Suo Suo Suo".Li Jinfu suddenly sobered up with fright, and ran away.

Li Jinfu told the villagers what happened to them. None of the villagers had seen this monster, but they all connected with the foundation laying the day before yesterday and thought it might have offended some evil thing in the ground.Li Jinfu went home feeling uneasy, and told his wife about the strange things he had encountered.His wife thought it was because he was drunk and misunderstood, and advised him not to care.Unexpectedly, three months later, Li Jinfu died unexpectedly.

Twenty years have passed, and this year, a large-scale ancestor worship event was held in the village, and many clan relatives from other places came back to participate.People from the village committee contacted Li Hui and invited him to return home.

Li Jinfu was old enough to have a son. When he died, Li Hui was still a child.Li Hui had heard about his father laying the foundation for the stage and encountering monsters, although he didn't quite believe it.On the second night of Li Hui's return to the village, the village invited an opera troupe to sing on the stage, and Li Hui went to watch the opera.Li Hui is not very interested in traditional drama, that is, he went for a walk when he was bored, and he didn't stay on the stage for long.He left from the east side of the stage. Not far away, he was suddenly stopped by a monster. The monster was very huge and terrifying, and it was not something in the world.It was very similar to the monster that Li Hui's father described before his death, and it frightened Li Hui to paralyze on the spot.Fortunately, a group of villagers came from behind, and the monster disappeared after hearing the noise.

Having encountered such a bizarre incident, Li Hui was so frightened that he almost had a heart attack. He left the village in a panic and returned to G City where he settled.But after Li Hui returned home, he was restless all day long. He began to suspect that the death of his father might really be related to ghosts, and he worried that ghosts would also haunt him.

Later, Li Hui was introduced by someone and knew that the master of Xiancha Temple could help people exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts and demons, so he contacted Ke Shicheng.

On WeChat, Li Hui sent a recent photo of himself, and wanted Ke Shicheng to see if there were any evil things entangled in him.Li Hui is in G City, which is relatively far away, and it is not convenient for him to come here for the time being, so he can only use this method.He Qing looked at this photo carefully and found nothing unusual.

"Shi Cheng, what kind of ghost do you think it will be?"

He Qing thinks about the past 20 years, this ghost is very grudge.He couldn't help but think of that snake demon who tried so hard to kill him.

"Hard to say."

Ke Shicheng still drank tea quietly, and he would not know until he went to the village, thinking too much for the time being was useless.

There is a bustling commercial street in the township of Shajin Town, which seems to be a wealthy town.Ke Shicheng drove through the streets of the small town. He Qing sat beside Ke Shicheng and looked at the bustling pedestrians on the street. He reminded Ke Shicheng: "Shicheng, Dongdi Village is still 1.7 kilometers away."

Ke Shicheng is going to Dongdi Village to do a survey, which is one of the contents of the client's commission.

"Ah."

According to the navigation, Ke Shicheng drove away from the commercial street, drove into a road on the right, and drove forward slowly.In local villages, where the road into the village connects with the highway, there will be an archway with the name of the village written on it.Driving slowly, it is convenient to find the archway in Dongdi Village.

"Shi Cheng, just ahead."

He Qing pointed to an archway in front of him. It stands at the intersection of the boring township road, which is particularly conspicuous.

Ke Shicheng drove the car into the magnificent archway and entered Dongdi Village.

The roads in the village are spacious and clean. Like most of the villages in the area, the village is lonely and there are not many residents.

As soon as the car entered the village, at the head of the village, I saw two men looking around on the side of the road.The two recognized the car from outside, went up to meet it, and asked doubtfully, "Is it Master Ke?" Ke Shicheng nodded.The older one said: "Master Ke is really young and promising." The younger said: "Of course, when Master Ke helped my family exorcise evil spirits, he was only sixteen or seventeen years old."

The young man's words caught Ke Shicheng's attention, and he remembered that his name was Li Qingjie.There is a pond on the field of Li Qingjie's house, and a strange thing happened.Li Qingjie's father originally wanted to ask Mr. Lin to take a look, but Mr. Lin was busy and sent Ke Shicheng over.At first, Ke Shicheng was suspected of what little Taoist priests could do, but in the end the Li family father and son were overwhelmed with admiration.

It seems that the person who introduced Li Hui to Ke Shicheng should be Li Qingjie.

"Who is this young man?"

The old man looked at He Qing, he thought He Qing was also a Taoist priest.

"Abo, my name is He Qing, and I'm Shi Cheng's friend."

He Qing replied politely.

"My name is Gui, come, drink tea at my house in front."

The old man introduced his name and greeted him warmly.

"Qingjie."

The young man also showed his temper and shook hands with He Qing and Ke Shicheng respectively.

Li Hui couldn't come to Dongdi Village in person, so he asked his relatives in the village to receive Ke Shicheng instead.The people in charge of the reception are undoubtedly the two people in front of them.

Uncle Gui and Qing Jie are not grandparents, they are relatives, and they are also relatives to Li Hui.The villagers in Dongdi Village are all surnamed Li, and the villagers are all clan relatives.

In such a village composed of clansmen, ancestor worship is usually held every year. If there are many overseas Chinese in the village or the villagers are wealthy, the annual ancestor worship ceremony will be very grand.
