Deep in the mountains, old forests, and secluded winding paths, there is an ancient house built of bluestones and deep tiles hidden. Don't look so far away, but put your sights into the village.In the modern society, the old deep house hidden in the deep mountains and old forests is an idea only after watching too many movies. The Song family ancestral hall is actually standing in the village so carelessly, watching the children and grandchildren of the Song family rest at sunset and sunrise And Zuo, like an elder silently guarding his child.

Not to mention, the old house in the deep mountain in the movie really existed before. It is said that the ancestral hall of the Song family was also hidden in the mountain. Every time the ancestors were worshiped during Qingming and other seasons, the clansmen had to chop branches and step on the mud to enter. None of them were normal. road is passable.Moreover, the ancestral hall built in the mountains is also difficult to take care of. The walls of the courtyard are broken, the tiles are falling off, and the eaves of the corridor have rotten places, which are not easy to repair.There was an earthquake in the local area more than a hundred years ago. The earthquake was not big, but it happened to shake half of the wall of the ancestral hall that had been in disrepair. He felt that he had offended God by doing something terrible, so he punished the Song family.

Afterwards, I found a very capable old man to make calculations, and came to the conclusion that the ancestral hall should be moved out. This is how the current ancestral hall came into being. A hundred years later, the specific process has been unverifiable, and what happened in the past has been regarded as a story from generation to generation. handed down.The Song family does not talk about superstition and feudalism, but they have a strong sense of clan. During the festivals and festivals, ancestor worshipers will come back when they are free. If there is no other way, they will ask their family members to help them burn incense sticks to show their hearts.There are no ancestral halls for the other surnames in the village, but under the influence of the Song family, they are also in awe of the ancestral hall. Although the ancestral hall is built in the village, it seems that there is nothing magical about it, but the villagers will subconsciously walk lightly when walking past the ancestral hall. Lower your voice, and even the ignorant dolls are taught not to chase and make noise in front of the ancestral hall.

The blue tiles and white walls are just higher than ordinary houses. The ancestral hall is so ordinary. There are no carvings, no cornices and corners.

Only the patriarch has the key to the ancestral hall. The village chief has changed into a clean and straight formal attire, and there is faint steam coming from his body. This is a full use of time to take a battle bath. No matter how rushed, I will try my best to do my best.

The formal attire worn by the village head is not the Western style, but a black curvy deep garment full of Chinese characteristics, red piping, and a palm-width girdle. Wearing it on the village head's slightly stooped body, it will also look honest and dull. The peasant man showed a bit of grandeur.The corners of the robes are also embroidered with complicated patterns. If it was more than five years ago in the Song Dynasty, it would definitely not be different. Now it is suddenly discovered that the pattern is actually an array pattern, just because ordinary people use ordinary patterns. The silk thread is embroidered on ordinary cloth, so it has no other function except decoration.If it was done by a monk, it would be a simplified version of the small Zhoutian star array, a small array that gathers spirits and defends in one. If it is engraved on the array plate, it can become a regular item when going out at home.How could this happen to the Song family?

Song Shi suppressed the doubts in his heart and followed the footsteps of the village chief.He doesn't know how many times he has been to the ancestral hall, but he has never felt so special as he does now. In the past, it was just an ordinary house in his eyes.It is only now that I realize that there is a great universe inside, and the entire courtyard is inlaid with formations. It is a blinding formation, covering up the extraordinaryness of the ancestral hall.

If you want to say how different it is, that’s not the case, the house is still the same, but the auspicious beast unicorn in front of the pillars of the ancestral hall is benevolent and compassionate under the night, and its eyes are shining, and the ridge beast on the roof turns its head when it sees them coming in. The stone-carved and wood-carved eyes looked over and seriously examined who came in.The two auspicious beast tools are magic weapons with psychic powers, but all of them are treasures of the town house, but they all appeared in the Song family ancestral hall.

There is also a row of [-] large water tanks at the bottom of the east and west walls. Some goblins stick their heads out and look at them curiously and shyly with their big eyes open.The water tank is a thing for nourishing the soul, and the east and west walls also have the meaning of the sun rising and the moon setting, reincarnation, and endless life. In eighteenth, there is a saying "ninety-nine nourishes the soul, is it transcendent?" Song Shi thought in his heart , The Song family ancestral hall turned out to be a mountain spirit cave ==.It is a shelter prepared by the predecessors for the spirits in the mountains.

Song Shi used to think that so many water tanks were used to collect rainwater to prevent fires and put out fires, but it turned out that they were the residences of some weak mountain spirits.Thinking about it this way, there was a legend in the Song family that the ancestors of the Song family who came out of the depths of the mountains were children born of humans and mountain spirits. At the time of death, the mountains and forests were mourning, and the beasts were mourning. Judging from this, the legend is probably true, and it was not fabricated by later generations to add mystery to the ancestors.

Some small mountain spirits are ugly and some are good-looking. Mountain spirits are not monsters cultivated by animals and plants, but spirits transformed from mountain and forest spirits formed by gathering the aura of heaven and earth and the essence of plants and trees. It can be seen that they like whatever they like. Transform into the appearance you like. If you like strange things, you will have more heads, arms and no legs. If you like to be close to humans, maybe you will be a beautiful Thumbelina or a dwarf.

Humans should not impose their own ideas on them. In their eyes, humans who walk upright and have only two arms and two legs are ugly.

The goblins are timid, but they are extremely curious. There are eighteen water tanks in two rows in the whole yard, and a dozen or so goblins are all lying on the edge of the water tanks, showing half of their heads, blinking their big eyes. The eyes looked curiously at the three people who came at night.

The rustling sound is not from the wind blowing the plants and trees, but their voices.

"Human, there is the patriarch, and there are two people I don't know."

"Stupid, that tall one seems to be Xiao Songshi. He once came with the adults to sacrifice and carried a small apple in his pocket. I ate it."

When I was about six or seven years old, I paid homage to my ancestors during the Chinese New Year. Song Shi put an apple in his pocket, but he dropped it when he was saluting, and he couldn’t find it later. The basket of apples was very delicious, and he prepared the last one. I saved it to share with my sister at night, but it turned out to be eaten by the little mountain spirit.

"Oh, it's that fragrant little apple. I also remember it. Xiao Song Shi has become Da Song Shi. There are two people beside him, one big and one small, the little baby is so cute."

"That's Song Shi's baby, I'm going to hug it when it's born."

"I also want."

Followed by a bunch of "me too", Song Shi couldn't help smiling, what a bunch of cute little guys.

Yin Mingan tugged at Song Shi's sleeve, "What are you laughing at over there?" He pointed to the water tank on the east side, it was pitch black, and there was nothing there!

Song Shi leaned into Yin Ming'an's ear and whispered, "I'll bring you here when the genealogy is done. Many lovely children."

Lighting incense candles and offering sandalwood, the patriarch muttered something, and asked Song Shi and Yin Ming'an to offer incense and prostration to the ancestors. After these things were done, the patriarch took out the genealogy tree from the old cabinet on the side, and opened the top "Yin Ming'an" was written on the back of Song Shi's name, and the last stroke fell, and the boulder that Yin Ming'an was faintly holding in his heart slowly fell.Rubbing the paper, it is such a simple piece of paper that can make people feel so at ease. Turning to look at Song Shi, the handsome young man under the candlelight is so unreal, his expression is erratic and indifferent, his eyes are slightly closed, and his hands Standing here brings out the indulgence and compassion that the sky is high and the clouds are calm, the vegetation is only in an instant, and the world is in charge.

All of a sudden, Song Shi, who was standing beside him, became so far away, Yin Ming'an suddenly became uneasy, and hurriedly grabbed Song Shi's arm, as if it was only true if he held it in his own hand.

"What's the matter?" The smiling young man returned to his handsome, cheerful and optimistic appearance, as if everything just now was just Yin Mingan's illusion.

Yin Ming'an shook his head, "It's nothing, I just felt that you at that moment just now were particularly unreal."

Yin Ming'an stood with the backlight, and the weak candle light did not reach his face, the light and dark intertwined, cold and delicate, not like ordinary people.The inside is the ancestral tablet, the shadows are wrong, showing a bit of eerie mystery, the outside is the mountain spirits and mobs, full of details, with a bit of eccentricity, at this moment, in this situation and in this scene, everything around becomes different. No matter how important it is, there is only this person in front of you and this person in your heart.

The dim candlelight coated Yin Ming'an with a layer of velvet, which made the young man with a light expression, alienated and cold, very gentle. Song Shi took Yin Ming'an's hand, put it on his mouth, and printed a very shallow but full of affection kiss, "The thread holding me will always be in your hand, you tighten it up, hold it tighter, no matter when and where, no matter what kind of me I am, I will be there, follow me not far or near You, I won't leave until you loosen the string in your hand."

Yin Ming'an held Song Shi's hand instead, "The thread is already embedded in the flesh, and I can't let it go."

"There is no knot in the thread that binds me, it cannot be undone, and I do not want to untie it."

…………

After doing all the things he had to do, the village chief became dull-eyed and his eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul. Song Shi raised his hand and said in a quiet voice, "Go back, today's events will be imprinted in your heart, and don't tell anyone. He wanted the patriarch to remember that it was he who wrote Yin Ming'an's name stroke by stroke, and no one forced him to do so. In the future, some people in the clan will read the genealogy and see a saying.It's not that I'm afraid of disputes, but I don't like trouble.

The village chief walked back step by step like a puppet on a string.The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. Some villagers are asleep, and some are watching TV. Exaggerated laughter and funny music come from the house. They are probably watching some reality show. Songjia Village shrouded in moonlight has mysterious , There are also ordinary.

Song Shi and the two also left together with the village head. Song Shi hugged Yin Ming'an halfway up, and the breeze rose under his feet, passing through flowers and leaves, and flying over the roof and courtyard wall, and returned to his courtyard in a short time.

"This, this, this..." Yin Ming'an, who had always been calm and calm, couldn't calm down anymore, his three views have been subverted, okay?Break free from gravity and fly lightly, how can science explain it?Does the law of universal gravitation need to be changed?

Song Shi went to Yin Ming'an's ear and explained softly. Yin Ming'an's eyes gradually widened, and at the end he was so shocked that his expression froze, "Am I dreaming now?"

"Of course not. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to fly again. Let's go to the ancestral hall. There are many cute little guys."

Yin Ming'an turned his head slowly, and looked at Song Shi in the cold moonlight, feeling unreal again, but because of being hugged by Song Shi in his arms, and what he said in the ancestral hall just now, he felt uneasy very quickly Disperse, "Okay." Hearing is delusion, seeing is believing, maybe seeing it, he will wake up from the half-belief and believe it completely, but now he feels that the three views have to be recast.

"Wait a minute, I'm going to get apples, those little guys probably like eating apples." Thinking of what he heard just now, Song Shi couldn't help laughing, "They are all innocent and cute little things, you will I like it. But there are not many apples, what should I do if there are not enough apples?"

"It's not that there are other fruits." After being told by Song Shi, Yin Ming'an also looked forward to it. What little thing could make Song Shi like it so much?

"Take them all. Apples, bananas, oranges, and two red grapefruits. Let me look in the refrigerator. There are crystal pears, small fragrant pears, dried longan, red dates..." In the supermarket during the day, Song Shi wanted to take all the Bring back some of the fruits, domestic, imported, local, and foreign, and then come back one by one to see if they can be eaten by pregnant women.Now some apples, bananas and small fragrant pears are left, and the others are taken out to entertain those little things.

Song Shi had a big bag and a small bag in his hand, Yin Ming'an easily took two red grapefruits, flashed the flashlight, and arrived at the ancestral hall in a short while.The ancestral hall is shrouded in the formation, and the key in the village chief's hand is the object to open the formation, otherwise ordinary people cannot enter, not to say that the ordinary lock cannot be opened, but that when they approach the formation, they will suddenly think of something urgent or suddenly I forgot my purpose of coming here, so I no longer wanted to enter the ancestral hall.Of course, Song Shi couldn't be troubled by the barrier array, so Ling Kong clicked a few times, and the courtyard door opened naturally. Song Shi led Yin Ming'an in, and the courtyard door slowly closed behind them.

"Hey, Song Shi brought his wife back again." The mountain elves wanted to know what Song Shi and Yin Ming'an were here for. From their point of view, the one written next to Song Shi's name was of course his wife.

"Song Shi's mother-in-law is so beautiful, she's just a little bit worse than Xiao Xiao." This title is more down-to-earth ==

"What's so great about a beautiful daughter-in-law, the baby is cute."

Song Shi was ashamed, but fortunately Yin Ming'an couldn't understand what the mountain spirits were saying.

"Cute little guy, when can you play with us?"

"A mortal is going to conceive for ten months, and it will come out in a few months."

"I don't know if Song Shi and his wife will still be in Songjia Village by then?" A lost voice said.

"The good hope is still there." Looking forward.

Song Shi coughed lightly, opened and closed his mouth slightly, and used his spiritual energy to transmit his voice to every elf, "We will leave in a few days, and we will come back after the baby is born. He comes to see you, you can play with him."

"Ah, he can see us."

"He heard what we said."

"He said the baby would come back to play with us after it was born."

The goblins immediately exploded, and shrank back into the water tank with a "swish", and the sound of rustling became more and more intense, so we knew they were very excited.

Yin Ming'an didn't know what Song Shi was up to from the beginning to the end, so he could only stand quietly aside.

Song Shi put down the fruit bag in his hand and asked Yin Ming'an to close his eyes. He put his right hand in front of Yin Ming'an's eyes, and the spiritual power was circulating, and it temporarily gathered in his eyes, and when the spiritual energy dissipated, he couldn't see it anymore.Yin Ming'an only felt his eyes clear up for a while, and when he opened them again, it seemed that his strength had become better. The dark night was no longer thick, like ink dripping into clear water, slowly swaying and fading away, hiding in the darkness Everything becomes clear at a glance.

He quickly noticed the difference between the ridge beast on the roof and the unicorn in front of the porch. He looked at Song Shi suspiciously, and Song Shi nodded, "What you see is true. They are psychic town house beasts, don't be afraid , they have no trace of malice."

People often have vigilance and malicious speculations about things they are not familiar with, and Yin Ming'an is no exception. But after listening to Song Shi's explanation, he put down his vigilance and began to observe the whole yard seriously, and soon noticed the water tank. The difference there.

The little elves can't hold back their loneliness. Who let the curiosity attribute set by God be so strong, some of them poked their heads out and looked at Song Shi and Yin Ming'an secretly, and they would quickly catch their eyes. hide back.

"It's really cute." Yin Ming'an couldn't help laughing, he could feel the peaceful breath from nature from the mountain spirits, pure and peaceful, making people let go of all the irritability and anxiety in their hearts and become peaceful indifferent.

The little elves didn't dare to come out, so Song Shi and Yin Ming'an peeled the fruit. The aroma of the fruit soon attracted some bold ones. Seeing that the first went to eat the fruit, the latter ran out not to be outdone, and soon A large group of all kinds of little guys surrounded the two of them. The biggest one was the size of a basketball, and the smallest one was only the size of a table tennis ball. Most of them were the size of an apple.No matter how they look or how big they are, what they all have in common is that their eyes are big, watery, and the eyeballs are as bright as gemstones, and they are extremely beautiful.

The goblins don't fight for each other, they can share and have fun together. One of them is very courageous and even ran into Yin Ming'an's arms, laying on his stomach and saying that he wanted to play with the baby. At this moment, The child in his stomach also moved, as if he was catering to the mountain spirit.

The baby is still very immature and doesn't know what to play. He just subconsciously approaches the beauty and innocence of this world.

The ridge beast and Qilin in the town house benevolently watched the two of them having fun with the mountain spirits. The Song family is the descendant of the mountain spirits, so the ancestral hall exists because of this. The Taoist priests a hundred years ago were also great benevolent people. , stay guard.The blood of the mountain spirits in the Song family is getting weaker and shallower, and they can no longer communicate with or see the mountain spirits, but they have awe and love for nature in their hearts, and the Song family can do it from the very old to the young children. Pat your chest and say they are true guardians of nature.The strength of the Song family is weak, but they stick to their promise to the nature of the world in their blood. A drop of water cannot change the world, but it is also very precious.
