Leaving the gate of the school, the three of them walked along the main street. When they passed an intersection, they saw a few people with their robes tucked around their waists hurrying past. They couldn't help looking around when they passed by. , seems to be looking for something.
And the direction behind them is the mountain with hot spring behind Ningshou Town.
It was almost evening at this time, but many people were walking up the mountain on the road, a small number of them were wearing improved Hanfu, while others looked like tourists from outside.
Qi Yuqiu motioned to the two of them, and they took a detour to another road and followed the direction of the crowd towards the mountain.
Just when the three of them were about to turn a corner, a gray-haired woman suddenly crawled out from the shadows, and Mo Jun, who had been holding his heart up all the time, almost jumped up in fright.
The old man's gray hair was messy like a chicken coop, scattered on her forehead and covered her face. She was wearing a dusty coat, and her outstretched hands were black and full of raised dry skin and mud.
Chang Xianjian quickly bent down to help him up, but just as he stretched out his hand, the woman screamed as if she saw something terrible, and crawled back again and again.
"Auntie, don't be afraid, we are not bad people!" Mo Jun knelt down and said softly to the woman.
Seemingly understanding Mo Jun's words, the woman stopped backing and slowly raised her head.
Through the tangled hair, Mo Jun saw a very frightening face. Even though he had seen many ghosts, he was startled by this face.
Red and blue-black birthmarks intertwined and occupied half of the woman's face, while the other half of her face was covered with potholes, although there were no birthmarks, and there were many pustules the size of soybeans.
There seemed to be something wrong with one of the woman's eyes. The entire eyeball was white, without black pupils, and the other eye was bloodshot. When he looked at Mo Jun, that look made him feel chills all over his body.
"Ah~ save, save me... save my daughter!" The woman seemed to have not spoken for a long time, and her voice was hoarse.
Qi Yuqiu signaled Mo Jun to help her up, and asked her, "What's wrong with your daughter? Where is she now?"
"My daughter, my two daughters, they are sick, very sick. Please give me a box of antipyretics, what they have is not the plague, just take the antipyretics and they will be cured, please! I'm rich, really, I'm rich!" Seeing that Qi Yuqiu seemed to want to help her, the woman's eyes lit up, she grabbed his arm and begged.
While speaking, her face was completely exposed, Qi Yuqiu carefully looked at this almost unrecognizable face, and frowned slightly.
Seeing that Qi Yuqiu was silent, the woman's eyes flashed with despair, and she knelt down towards him as soon as her legs softened: "Don't, don't tell them, I don't want antipyretics, don't tell them! They will take Hanhan and Xiaomeng away. If you lock it up, you will die if you lock it up!"
Qi Yuqiu sighed slightly. Judging from the woman's face, her two daughters had passed away long ago, and they were probably bones now.
"Where is your home, let's take you back." He slightly lifted the woman who was about to kneel down, and then let go.
Qi Yuqiu's words made the woman no longer anxious. She seemed to realize that the three of them had no hostility towards her, so she begged again: "You are good people, can you help me and give me a box of medicine? Really, just one box of medicine will do the trick. Save my two daughters."
"They are only four years old. You can't just let them have a high fever all the time. They will be stupid! No, no, no, they won't be stupid, they will be burned to death. Do you know that fever can also burn people to death."
As the woman spoke, her tone gradually became gloomy. She seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly began to pull her hair out violently. The dirt-clumped cuffs rubbed against her face, and a lot of pustules were broken.
"What about my Xiaohan, why doesn't she get up to eat? It's already this time, if I don't get up again, I will be late! And Xiaomeng, Xiaomeng said that he wants to take the university entrance exam and take me to a big city. If you don't study hard, how will you pass the exam? Big city."
The more the woman spoke, the more anxious she became, holding a large handful of hair torn from her head in her hands, and looking around in fear, but no matter how she looked, she couldn't find her two good daughters.
"Hanhan, where are you? Don't play hide-and-seek with your mother. Take your sister out! Mom will take you away. We are not here anymore. Mom will take you back to grandma's house. Don't hide from your mother, okay?" good?"
Hearing the woman's shrill cry, Qi Yuqiu's expression turned cold, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
Mo Jun and Chang Xianjian naturally heard from the woman's words that her two well-behaved daughters were dead, and there would be no chance of leaving here.
The two felt uncomfortable, and couldn't bear to watch the woman go crazy and scream, but when they wanted to pull her back with red eyes, a few people ran over not far away, quickly stopped the woman, and then tied her up with cloth strips. The struggling arms were tied and something was stuffed into her mouth.
The woman's wailing was blocked in her mouth, leaving only a helpless whimper.
Qi Yuqiu said coldly, "What are you doing?"
One of the men, about forty years old, tied the rope that bound the woman's mouth, and said with an apologetic smile, "I'm really sorry, are the three guests not injured? This woman has been crazy for four or five years, and every time she runs out, she hurts people." On weekdays, their family can watch well. Today, there is something in the town, so she escaped while there was no one in the house. If the three of you are injured, I will take you to bandage them. Let's go out of town!"
Qi Yuqiu looked at the woman who was slowly calming down, and said with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, "We are not injured, thank you for your kindness."
"That's good, that's good. By the way, the three guests just came today? In our town, a dozen famous college students passed the exam this year. In the evening, the ancestral hall will be opened on the mountain. It's very lively. All the guests in the town go to enjoy the joy. Go, if the three of you are fine, you can go and have a look." The man looks simple and honest, and he looks more sincere when he smiles cheerfully.
Looking at the restrained woman, Mo Jun held back his anger and said, "This aunt seems to be looking for her daughter. Do you know where her daughter is?"
The deaths of those two children were inseparably related to the people in this town. He thought that these men would at least show some guilt or guilt when they heard this, and they would always have some strange emotions in front of the victim.
However, he was wrong. There was no change in the expressions on the faces of the several people, and there was not even a moment of blankness. Only the man who spoke quickly climbed up with a regretful expression on his face. He glanced at the woman and whispered to Qi Yuqiu and the others: "Three Please don't mention her two daughters, she became crazy just because those two children were gone."
"How could this be? Are the two daughters gone?" Mo Jun raised his eyebrows, as if he was very puzzled, but he was half-cooled by the performance of these people.
"Yeah, it's pitiful. The two twins got a strange disease together, and they disappeared overnight. It's no wonder that she went crazy. No one can bear it!" The man sighed.
Qi Yuqiu chuckled, looked at the man's expression and said, "Yeah, as long as you're a human being, you can't bear to watch your own flesh and blood go away. Even animals have the feeling of licking their calves. Probably not in this world. There are parents who are willing to let their children suffer, otherwise they are even worse than animals."
The man's expression froze unnaturally when he heard this, and he turned his eyes elsewhere, and echoed with a smile: "Yes, children are the treasures of parents..."
"Uncle Shou Cheng, let's take him back quickly, or we won't be able to catch up with the opening ceremony of the ancestral hall." One of the young men who was holding the woman reminded him in a low voice.
The man nodded and apologized to the three of Qi Yuqiu again: "I'm really sorry, we have to send him home quickly, the three of you can hang out here."
After speaking, he turned around and left with the woman.
Seeing the woman being carried roughly by several people, and crying for help, Mo Jun and Chang Xianjian gritted their teeth, but they couldn't help.Once there is a conflict with these people now, they will definitely become vigilant, and it will be difficult to find out the truth of the matter.
But judging by the posture of these people, this woman must be in danger after being captured. Could it be that they just watched the woman die like this?
Seeing their tangled expressions, Qi Yuqiu shook his head and said, "Okay, follow up and save people. They are going to open the ancestral hall, and they will definitely not do it today. After bringing people out, they will be sent out directly. Leave the other things to me." .Remember, don’t be found out, be careful in everything, and notify me immediately if something happens.”
Mo Jun and Chang Xianjian's eyes lit up, they nodded vigorously, and immediately followed carefully.
After the two left, Qi Yuqiu mixed into the crowd along the road leading to the mountain.
The mountain behind Ningshou Town is not too high, and the road leading to the mountain has been repaired evenly. There are lights on the side of the road, leading directly to the Hu Family Ancestral Hall on the mountain.
Hu's ancestral hall is a courtyard, in which there is a house about seven or eight meters high, with carved beams and painted buildings, which is very spectacular.
The gate of the ancestral hall has not been opened yet, and many people stand in line in the open space in front of the gate. There are a few old people at the gate who are distributing something. Go to the end of the line again.
When it was Qi Yuqiu's turn, the old man in a long robe handed him a stone, clasped his hands together and said, "This stone is the guardian totem of our Ningshou Town. As long as you enshrine it sincerely, it will satisfy all your wishes."
Qi Yuqiu squinted through the light and saw a somewhat complicated pattern engraved on the stone, which was the totem in Qin Bing's dream.
He chuckled and said, "Is it really so miraculous?"
Seemingly annoyed by his skeptical attitude, the old man snorted coldly, pushed him away from the line, and started throwing stones at the next person.
Someone from the back of the other team saw Qi Yuqiu being pushed out, came over and pulled him aside and whispered: "Little brother, if you don't believe me, you can give me this stone!"
This person was wearing a denim jacket and glasses, and he looked like someone from outside.
"What do you want this stone for? It's useless. The fools of the other family also take some kind of lucky bag jade pendant. Isn't it too perfunctory for just a stone?" Qi Yuqiu said casually, tossing the stone in his hand lightly.
The man's eyes moved up and down with the stone, and he said hi: "It's the simplicity that is true, little brother, this stone is really useful. This is the second time for me to come here. The last time was a year ago today." , I also happened to meet them opening the ancestral hall, but at that time they didn't let idlers come up, my wife and I came here by mistake."
"My wife is very interested in these cultures. At that time, they wanted to drive us away. I tried to persuade them to let us stay. During the sacrifice, those people said that making a wish here is very effective. We must not Believe it, but I still followed them through the sacrificial ceremony and made a wish."
"My wife and I have been married for many years and have no children. Naturally, our wish is to have a child. As a result, my wife was pregnant within two weeks after returning home. Just say it's a god!"
"That's really amazing." Qi Yuqiu glanced at him, smiled and handed the stone to him, "Since you want it, take it, it's useless for me to hold it."
"Oh, thank you so much. I don't think there are many stones in the basket. It will be gone when it's my turn. I didn't have any hope." The man held the stone in surprise and said.
Qi Yuqiu waved his hand to express that you are welcome, and then asked him: "Last year the priests didn't allow people to be present, why did they suddenly open up this year?"
The man patted Qi Yuqiu on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, did you just enter Ningshou Town today? It has been spread in the town these days that the ancestors of the Hu family in the ancestral hall appeared, saying that people in Ningshou Town will repay their blessings." Spread the word, so that more people can be like them, and everything goes well, so they came to open the ancestral hall for us to visit."
Qi Yuqiu nodded with a smile. That thing has been dormant for more than ten years, and it probably feels that the time has come.
At this moment, a group of young men in black robes came up, separated the crowd, and cleared the open space in front of the gate.
Immediately afterwards, several old people staggered out of the crowd, stood at the intersection, followed the command of the leader and began to kneel and kowtow. They followed the ancient etiquette from the intersection to the gate, and then they had another toss, watching the few old people The spirit became worse, so they knocked on the gate of the ancestral hall.
The black wooden door is majestic and majestic. The copper lock on the door is opened, and with a soft creak, the wooden door is pushed open, and a stream of stale air overflows from the door.
Everyone looked forward, and the bluestone floor in the yard was clean, without any debris, and there were no weeds growing around the corners.
Facing the gate is the wooden door of the main hall of the ancestral hall. The wooden door of the main hall is still black, but there is a red pattern drawn on the black background, which can be vaguely seen. This pattern seems to be the same as the one on the stones distributed by the old people just now.
While everyone was in a daze, several old people stepped into the yard, lit the lamps at the four corners of the yard, and then pushed open the door of the main hall.
The wooden door was opened, and seeing the decorations in the main hall, all the outsiders were stunned. What is enshrined in the Hu family's ancestral hall is not the ancestors of the Hu family, but a big stone!
This, this is really strange, I have never heard of anyone's ancestral hall not displaying ancestral tablets, but other things.
However, the people in Ningshou Town not only didn't find it strange, but when they saw the stone, they knelt down devoutly on the ground, buried their heads deeply, and dared not look directly at it again.
"Wow, is their ancestor this stone? I'm afraid the people in this town are not descendants of the Monkey King!" A young man from outside didn't believe these messy things, and whispered.
His voice was very low, but as soon as he closed his mouth after speaking, he felt someone staring at him.He looked in the direction he felt, and several young men in black were staring at him with terrifying expressions.
"Crazy!" The young man curled his lips, quietly took two steps back and hid in the crowd.These people are really weird. There won't be any weirdness hidden in this town like in the movie, right?
No, he will leave here immediately after going down the mountain, lest anything happen if he stays here.
People from Ningshou Town went up to worship the stone one by one, and then an old man with all white hair and a very rosy complexion stood up, stood in the yard, smiled and held a microphone to introduce the origin of the stone to the outsiders. .
"Our Ningshou Town today is all thanks to the blessing of the sacred stone. Without the sacred stone, the old man would not be able to stand here today. I am 98 years old this year, and my body is very strong. It will not be a problem to live another ten years or so. !"
Qi Yuqiu sneered, let alone ten years, as long as he gave up his humanity, he could live forever.
The old man bent down slightly, and said longingly: "And our fate between Ningshou and Shenshi starts from 13 years ago."
Thirteen years ago, Ningshou was still a poor and dilapidated small village, and this old man's family was a well-known poor household in the village.His son and daughter-in-law died of illness a few years ago, leaving the old man and his grandson Hu Yan behind. In the end, the silly woman who wandered into the village could only be kept as a daughter-in-law.
Speaking of which, there was a hint of disgust in the old man's eyes, and he obviously regarded that silly woman as a stain on their family.
It's a pity that the stupid woman's stomach is not up to date, and she can't give birth to a son. Just when the grandfather and grandson thought that their old Hu family was going to be rooted out, Hu Yan discovered the sacred stone halfway up the mountain when he went up the mountain.
At that time, Hu Yan didn't know the function of the divine stone, and just complained a few words while resting next to the divine stone. As a result, the child who was judged to be a daughter in the stupid woman's belly fell to the ground that night and turned into a son!
At that time, the hospital was not as strict as it is now. They took the idiot to check it several times. It was clearly a girl, but it suddenly turned into a boy when she was born. The grandpa and grandson were so happy.After calming down, Hu Yan remembered the stone on the mountain.
It must be the stone that heard his complaints and made his wish come true, otherwise how could such a miraculous thing happen!
Then Hu Yan went up the mountain to offer up the stone. Later, under the guidance of the divine stone, he let the whole village know the existence of this stone.People in the village built ancestral halls here, and this impoverished small village gradually developed and became Ningshou Town today.
"As long as we sincerely believe in the sacred stone, the sacred stone will keep us safe and healthy and live long!" The old man finally knelt on the right side of the sacred stone, knocked his head heavily, and burst into tears when he raised his face again.
Someone in the crowd echoed: "I can testify that I am not from Ningshou Village, but I came here two years ago. At that time, my father had cancer, and I took him here to relax. Our father and son came up to pay respects, and my father recovered from his illness after returning home, and he is still healthy and healthy!"
"I have been here too. When I was in high school, my grades were not good, and I was depressed before the college entrance examination. I came here and wanted to commit suicide, but was stopped by an uncle, so he took me here. As a result, I went back to take the exam. The college entrance examination that year The question types are all exactly the ones I can do, which is amazing!"
One after another, people in the crowd shared their miraculous experiences here, and those who did not believe began to waver slowly.
At this time, someone shouted loudly: "Since it is so powerful, it is impossible for there to be no news before? Are you afraid that you are bluffing us!"
That's right, with the news of such a god, the small ancestral hall in Ningshou Town must have become a tourist attraction long ago. How could there be no news at all?
The old man caressed his beard and said with a smile: "There is no news outside because we don't allow news to spread. We discovered the sacred stone. Naturally, we regard it as the private property of Ningshou Town. Why should we share it with outsiders? If outsiders Swarming in, consuming too much divine power from the divine stones, what shall we do?"
"That's why we only let fateful people into the ancestral hall, and made an agreement with them in advance not to reveal the secret of the sacred stone, so the news hasn't spread over the years."
"Then why did you make the existence of the Divine Stone public this year?" Someone shouted again.
The old man's face was indifferent: "Naturally, it is because Shenshi is merciful and cannot bear to see the world struggling in suffering, so the dream asked us to let more miserable people come here and find their own way. We in Ningshou Town will not charge any fees, nor will we I will sell anything related to the god stone, if you believe it, it will work, if you don't believe it, it will not work, whether you can realize your wish depends on how sincere you are."
No money is charged, no "peripherals" are sold, it seems that there are no traps?
Many people were about to move, and those who had just called out to testify had come out of the crowd, knelt down in front of the sacred stone, kowtowed a few times, put their hands on the stone, closed their eyes and prayed devoutly.
Then they got up and left without saying a word, and went straight down the mountain.During this process, the people in Ningshou Town did not take any action.
Some people stepped forward to worship the sacred stone, some left dismissively, and more stood outside watching the fun with a skeptical attitude.
Old man Hu was sitting aside supported by his grandson, looking at the people lined up to visit the sacred stone, with a slight smile on his face.
I'm not afraid that those people don't believe it, one day, they will definitely kneel down and kneel before the sacred stone to worship.
When the wish of this group of people is fulfilled, and the news spreads, more people will come here. One day, everyone will know the existence of the God Stone and become its most loyal believers!
The more old man Hu thought about it, the more excited he became, and his eyes became softer when he looked at the sacred stone. This is their treasure. With the sacred stone, he can live to one hundred two or one hundred and thirteen, becoming the oldest old man in the world.
Just when the old man was feeling emotional, he saw the hand resting on the rock dishonestly touching left and right, as if looking for something.
He woke up from the fantasy, frowned and looked at the owner of the hand. The man didn't kneel down at all, but stood straight in front of the altar, with a casual smile on his face, showing no respect for the sacred stone at all.
"What are you doing?!" Old man Hu got angry and shouted at the young man.
The young man turned his head slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his exquisite eyebrows.
"I'm looking at how many granddaughters of yours there are in this stone, no more, no less, exactly three."

And the direction behind them is the mountain with hot spring behind Ningshou Town.
It was almost evening at this time, but many people were walking up the mountain on the road, a small number of them were wearing improved Hanfu, while others looked like tourists from outside.
Qi Yuqiu motioned to the two of them, and they took a detour to another road and followed the direction of the crowd towards the mountain.
Just when the three of them were about to turn a corner, a gray-haired woman suddenly crawled out from the shadows, and Mo Jun, who had been holding his heart up all the time, almost jumped up in fright.

"Ah~ save, save me... save my daughter!" The woman seemed to have not spoken for a long time, and her voice was hoarse.

"My daughter, my two daughters, they are sick, very sick. Please give me a box of antipyretics, what they have is not the plague, just take the antipyretics and they will be cured, please!

Qi Yuqiu sighed slightly. Judging from the woman's face, her two daughters had passed away long ago, and they were probably bones now.
"Where is your home, let's take you back." He slightly lifted the woman who was about to kneel down, and then let go.

Mo Jun and Chang Xianjian's eyes lit up, they nodded vigorously, and immediately followed carefully.
After the two left, Qi Yuqiu mixed into the crowd along the road leading to the mountain.

Seemingly annoyed by his skeptical attitude, the old man snorted coldly, pushed him away from the line, and started throwing stones at the next person.
Someone from the back of the other team saw Qi Yuqiu being pushed out, came over and pulled him aside and whispered: "Little brother, if you don't believe me, you can give me this stone!"
This person was wearing a denim jacket and glasses, and he looked like someone from outside.
"What do you want this stone for? It's useless. The fools of the other family also take some kind of lucky bag jade pendant. Isn't it too perfunctory for just a stone?" Qi Yuqiu said casually, tossing the stone in his hand lightly.
The man's eyes moved up and down with the stone, and he said hi: "It's the simplicity that is true, little brother, this stone is really useful. This is the second time for me to come here. The last time was a year ago today." , I also happened to meet them opening the ancestral hall, but at that time they didn't let idlers come up, my wife and I came here by mistake."
"My wife is very interested in these cultures. At that time, they wanted to drive us away. I tried to persuade them to let us stay. During the sacrifice, those people said that making a wish here is very effective. We must not Believe it, but I still followed them through the sacrificial ceremony and made a wish."
"My wife and I have been married for many years and have no children. Naturally, our wish is to have a child. As a result, my wife was pregnant within two weeks after returning home. Just say it's a god!"
"That's really amazing." Qi Yuqiu glanced at him, smiled and handed the stone to him, "Since you want it, take it, it's useless for me to hold it."
"Oh, thank you so much. I don't think there are many stones in the basket. It will be gone when it's my turn. I didn't have any hope." The man held the stone in surprise and said.
Qi Yuqiu waved his hand to express that you are welcome, and then asked him: "Last year the priests didn't allow people to be present, why did they suddenly open up this year?"
The man patted Qi Yuqiu on the shoulder and said, "Little brother, did you just enter Ningshou Town today? It has been spread in the town these days that the ancestors of the Hu family in the ancestral hall appeared, saying that people in Ningshou Town will repay their blessings." Spread the word, so that more people can be like them, and everything goes well, so they came to open the ancestral hall for us to visit."
Qi Yuqiu nodded with a smile. That thing has been dormant for more than ten years, and it probably feels that the time has come.
At this moment, a group of young men in black robes came up, separated the crowd, and cleared the open space in front of the gate.
Immediately afterwards, several old people staggered out of the crowd, stood at the intersection, followed the command of the leader and began to kneel and kowtow. They followed the ancient etiquette from the intersection to the gate, and then they had another toss, watching the few old people The spirit became worse, so they knocked on the gate of the ancestral hall.
The black wooden door is majestic and majestic. The copper lock on the door is opened, and with a soft creak, the wooden door is pushed open, and a stream of stale air overflows from the door.
Everyone looked forward, and the bluestone floor in the yard was clean, without any debris, and there were no weeds growing around the corners.
Facing the gate is the wooden door of the main hall of the ancestral hall. The wooden door of the main hall is still black, but there is a red pattern drawn on the black background, which can be vaguely seen. This pattern seems to be the same as the one on the stones distributed by the old people just now.
While everyone was in a daze, several old people stepped into the yard, lit the lamps at the four corners of the yard, and then pushed open the door of the main hall.
The wooden door was opened, and seeing the decorations in the main hall, all the outsiders were stunned. What is enshrined in the Hu family's ancestral hall is not the ancestors of the Hu family, but a big stone!
This, this is really strange, I have never heard of anyone's ancestral hall not displaying ancestral tablets, but other things.
However, the people in Ningshou Town not only didn't find it strange, but when they saw the stone, they knelt down devoutly on the ground, buried their heads deeply, and dared not look directly at it again.
"Wow, is their ancestor this stone? I'm afraid the people in this town are not descendants of the Monkey King!" A young man from outside didn't believe these messy things, and whispered.
His voice was very low, but as soon as he closed his mouth after speaking, he felt someone staring at him.He looked in the direction he felt, and several young men in black were staring at him with terrifying expressions.
"Crazy!" The young man curled his lips, quietly took two steps back and hid in the crowd.These people are really weird. There won't be any weirdness hidden in this town like in the movie, right?
No, he will leave here immediately after going down the mountain, lest anything happen if he stays here.
People from Ningshou Town went up to worship the stone one by one, and then an old man with all white hair and a very rosy complexion stood up, stood in the yard, smiled and held a microphone to introduce the origin of the stone to the outsiders. .
"Our Ningshou Town today is all thanks to the blessing of the sacred stone. Without the sacred stone, the old man would not be able to stand here today. I am 98 years old this year, and my body is very strong. It will not be a problem to live another ten years or so. !"
Qi Yuqiu sneered, let alone ten years, as long as he gave up his humanity, he could live forever.
The old man bent down slightly, and said longingly: "And our fate between Ningshou and Shenshi starts from 13 years ago."
Thirteen years ago, Ningshou was still a poor and dilapidated small village, and this old man's family was a well-known poor household in the village.His son and daughter-in-law died of illness a few years ago, leaving the old man and his grandson Hu Yan behind. In the end, the silly woman who wandered into the village could only be kept as a daughter-in-law.
Speaking of which, there was a hint of disgust in the old man's eyes, and he obviously regarded that silly woman as a stain on their family.
It's a pity that the stupid woman's stomach is not up to date, and she can't give birth to a son. Just when the grandfather and grandson thought that their old Hu family was going to be rooted out, Hu Yan discovered the sacred stone halfway up the mountain when he went up the mountain.
At that time, Hu Yan didn't know the function of the divine stone, and just complained a few words while resting next to the divine stone. As a result, the child who was judged to be a daughter in the stupid woman's belly fell to the ground that night and turned into a son!
At that time, the hospital was not as strict as it is now. They took the idiot to check it several times. It was clearly a girl, but it suddenly turned into a boy when she was born. The grandpa and grandson were so happy.After calming down, Hu Yan remembered the stone on the mountain.
It must be the stone that heard his complaints and made his wish come true, otherwise how could such a miraculous thing happen!
Then Hu Yan went up the mountain to offer up the stone. Later, under the guidance of the divine stone, he let the whole village know the existence of this stone.People in the village built ancestral halls here, and this impoverished small village gradually developed and became Ningshou Town today.
"As long as we sincerely believe in the sacred stone, the sacred stone will keep us safe and healthy and live long!" The old man finally knelt on the right side of the sacred stone, knocked his head heavily, and burst into tears when he raised his face again.
Someone in the crowd echoed: "I can testify that I am not from Ningshou Village, but I came here two years ago. At that time, my father had cancer, and I took him here to relax. Our father and son came up to pay respects, and my father recovered from his illness after returning home, and he is still healthy and healthy!"
"I have been here too. When I was in high school, my grades were not good, and I was depressed before the college entrance examination. I came here and wanted to commit suicide, but was stopped by an uncle, so he took me here. As a result, I went back to take the exam. The college entrance examination that year The question types are all exactly the ones I can do, which is amazing!"
One after another, people in the crowd shared their miraculous experiences here, and those who did not believe began to waver slowly.
At this time, someone shouted loudly: "Since it is so powerful, it is impossible for there to be no news before? Are you afraid that you are bluffing us!"
That's right, with the news of such a god, the small ancestral hall in Ningshou Town must have become a tourist attraction long ago. How could there be no news at all?
The old man caressed his beard and said with a smile: "There is no news outside because we don't allow news to spread. We discovered the sacred stone. Naturally, we regard it as the private property of Ningshou Town. Why should we share it with outsiders? If outsiders Swarming in, consuming too much divine power from the divine stones, what shall we do?"
"That's why we only let fateful people into the ancestral hall, and made an agreement with them in advance not to reveal the secret of the sacred stone, so the news hasn't spread over the years."
"Then why did you make the existence of the Divine Stone public this year?" Someone shouted again.
The old man's face was indifferent: "Naturally, it is because Shenshi is merciful and cannot bear to see the world struggling in suffering, so the dream asked us to let more miserable people come here and find their own way. We in Ningshou Town will not charge any fees, nor will we I will sell anything related to the god stone, if you believe it, it will work, if you don't believe it, it will not work, whether you can realize your wish depends on how sincere you are."
No money is charged, no "peripherals" are sold, it seems that there are no traps?
Many people were about to move, and those who had just called out to testify had come out of the crowd, knelt down in front of the sacred stone, kowtowed a few times, put their hands on the stone, closed their eyes and prayed devoutly.
Then they got up and left without saying a word, and went straight down the mountain.During this process, the people in Ningshou Town did not take any action.
Some people stepped forward to worship the sacred stone, some left dismissively, and more stood outside watching the fun with a skeptical attitude.
Old man Hu was sitting aside supported by his grandson, looking at the people lined up to visit the sacred stone, with a slight smile on his face.
I'm not afraid that those people don't believe it, one day, they will definitely kneel down and kneel before the sacred stone to worship.
When the wish of this group of people is fulfilled, and the news spreads, more people will come here. One day, everyone will know the existence of the God Stone and become its most loyal believers!
The more old man Hu thought about it, the more excited he became, and his eyes became softer when he looked at the sacred stone. This is their treasure. With the sacred stone, he can live to one hundred two or one hundred and thirteen, becoming the oldest old man in the world.
Just when the old man was feeling emotional, he saw the hand resting on the rock dishonestly touching left and right, as if looking for something.
He woke up from the fantasy, frowned and looked at the owner of the hand. The man didn't kneel down at all, but stood straight in front of the altar, with a casual smile on his face, showing no respect for the sacred stone at all.
"What are you doing?!" Old man Hu got angry and shouted at the young man.
The young man turned his head slightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his exquisite eyebrows.
"I'm looking at how many granddaughters of yours there are in this stone, no more, no less, exactly three."
