It means that he is about to kneel down.

Bai Youping has never seen this before, he hastily dropped the tea egg, and went to help:

"Master, if you have something to say, please say it well. You kneel down to me at such an old age. Isn't this shortening my life?"

The old man's eyes were yellowish, and he didn't know if he hadn't had a good rest recently. The bloodshot eyes made him look a little scary.

"Master Bai, to tell the truth, I'm just pretending to cheat some money. My surname is Wang. You can call me Wang Laoqi, because I'm greedy by nature and loves to gamble. My wife left with the child when she was young."

"Master, there is nothing wrong with knowing your mistakes. You just need to do small business in the future." Bai You is not that cruel, especially for this kind of old man.

"I also want to change my past, but I'm in trouble." Wang Laoqi sighed uncontrollably.

"What happened at the stall?" Bai Youping was curious.

"Once I was selling sweet potatoes in the streets and alleys, and I heard someone say that worshiping gods can bless you and make you rich. At that time, I quit gambling for a long time, and I didn't take it seriously. There are so many, I am also curious, so I will go in and have a look.”

Bai Youping couldn't eat too much in the morning, Wang Laoqi said that he pushed all the buns from his side to Ye Xun'an, and even peeled an egg for him.

"What is the origin of this temple?" Bai Youping asked.

"Listen to me, this temple is not the Guanyin Temple we often see, or some kind of orthodox religion. Anyway, I have never heard of it. After entering the door, I saw many people offering incense and praying there, and then someone asked me, Whether you want to make a wish or not, you don’t need money.”

"Oh? Isn't this very good, it doesn't cost money." Bai Youping wiped his mouth and said.

"Yeah, at the beginning I also thought that this temple is very popular, maybe it's not bad for this little money, I didn't take it seriously, anyway, I just worshiped when I came in. The man in Taoist robes came over and told me that it’s okay to make a wish, but you have to undo it, of course, the harder your wish is, the more expensive the gift to fulfill your wish will be.”

Speaking of this, Bai Youping became interested, and this is still an equivalent exchange:

"What wish did you make, and how did you pay it back?"

"At first, I didn't believe that this thing could be real, so I just made a random wish, saying that I want to make some money and don't work so hard. When I got up, the man in the Taoist robe handed me four paper ingots, telling me I put it in the main room at home, if the ingot remains in its original state within three days, then this wish will be fulfilled, if it is held back, this wish will not be fulfilled, and as for the conditions for fulfilling the wish, I will know when the time comes."

Ye Xun'an frowned while listening: "You agreed?"

"I thought it was nothing, so I took the ingot and went home, and put it in the middle of the room. Three days later, the ingot was still there intact, and I didn't take it seriously. As a result, on the fourth day, the strong wind When I got up, I wanted to close the stall early. On the way home, I passed a lottery shop. I have quit gambling for many years, but occasionally I still buy lottery tickets to try my luck. I just remembered the wish I made, so I bought a lottery ticket. Scratch lottery, I won 2000 yuan at once, it’s the first time I’ve won so much money after buying it for so many years.”

"Do you remember what was written on the plaque on the temple?" Ye Xun'an already had a rough guess in his heart, but he still had to ask clearly.

"It's in traditional Chinese characters. I didn't read it carefully. There is a 'five' in one, two, three, four, five."

"Go ahead." Bai Youping said.

"I thought, this is a manifestation of the gods. I took the money, bought a few dishes and wine, and went home. I had a dream that night, and asked me to go to the temple the next day to fulfill my vows. In addition to bringing Bring the four ingots and the pig's head."

"So, you did it?" Hearing this, Bai Youping also felt a little wrong. Basically, the orthodox gods rarely bless partial wealth, and even if they do, they seldom have such an immediate effect. This efficiency doesn't seem like an orthodox sect.

"How dare I not do it, anyway, there is not much money for a pig's head, and there is still a lot of 2000 yuan left. On the day I paid off my wish, I made another wish, just wanting to make a living that is not so tiring, and then I I went home with four ingots. You said it was a coincidence. On the way home that day, I picked up a book. It was a fortune-telling book. I thought this was a hint for me. The next day, I went to There was a stall in that place, and the people who came to me for fortune-telling were all asking about marriage and future. I have been in business for so many years, and I am still accurate in judging people. I followed her words and made up things. Earning 300 yuan, I feel that this fairy is a real spirit. This time, I would like to bring a paper man, and I will get three animals. Although the three animals are expensive, it is not a huge profit. I will go with cattle, sheep, pigs and paper figures. In fact, I haven't made much money recently, this time not only spent all the money I won in the previous lottery, but also used my own savings, and I'm begging the gods once to make me a big one."

"So, you went to Hualan County to lie to Feng's family?" Bai Youping asked retortly.

"They came to look for me by themselves. I thought it was an opportunity given to me by the gods, so I went, and you saw it later. When I got home, all the ingots I begged for this time were held back. Knowing that it was broken, I planned to send the ingot back to the temple, but at night I had a dream again."

"What's the dream?" Ye Xun'an asked.

"I dreamed that I was too greedy and broke the rules of the gods. Not only will he not help me, but he will also ask me to pay back the principal and interest."

Bai Youping burst into laughter, what kind of god is this, it sounds like a loan shark:

"Repay the principal and interest? Didn't you threaten your family if you don't pay the money, and even splash paint on your door?"

"That's right, Master Bai, that's what he really said. He not only wants my luck and longevity, but also my daughter's if I don't have enough. Master Bai, although I am not kind and honest, but I am Daddy doesn't have the face to implicate his daughter, I'm afraid, because I don't think that fairy is a righteous way, I always feel like a monster, if I don't look for you, I'm afraid that something will happen to my daughter."

Bai Youping wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that this is the retribution of the present world, but seeing Wang Laoqi's hard work as a father, he also lost his mind:

"What do you think we should do?"

In fact, Ye Xun'an knew from the very beginning of Wang Laoqi's description that he must have gone to a place he shouldn't have gone, and all the things that followed only further confirmed this guess:

"You went to the Wutong Temple. There are five men enshrining gods in the temple, and five wives sitting behind them?"

"Yes, yes, little brother, have you been there too?" Wang Laoqi's yellow eyes were filled with tears. Hearing Ye Xun'an's words, he felt that he had found the right place.

"Do you know this temple?" Bai Youping felt that Ye Xun'an sometimes had great contrasts, and often had no common sense in the world, like a child who just learned to walk, but sometimes he knew the origins of ghosts in the underworld like the palm of his hand.

"The Wutong Temple is dedicated to the Wutong God. Although there are five people in the painting, there is actually one person. The portrait is upright and solemn, with a dignified appearance. In fact, the Wutong God has been banned and destroyed many times. He is an out-and-out evil god. "

The author says:

There are different opinions about Wutongshen, but this evil god, I need his character design very much, hiahiahia~

The vacation balance is insufficient, the nose has stopped, I really hope that I can wake up naturally every day!

27. Wutongshen lends money ([-])

◎It's like a hooligan in the world of demons, not only lending usury, but also collecting protection fees first. ◎

"Evil God?"

Bai Youping is not very clear about the concept of gods and ghosts. The current understanding is only through fairy tales or online novels.

However, as Zhao Dapeng said, people are divided into good and bad, so "God" cannot be generalized.

"Yes, Wutongshen, also known as Wuzhang, Wuxian or Wufang in the folk, is a kind of 'ghost' among the ghosts and monsters. There are legends that it is a mandrill spirit, one-legged, with a long head, a big face, and small eyes. Concave, with sharp long teeth, it was actually called 'Wutong ghost' in the early years." Ye Xun'an recalled.

"Ah? It's like the animal in Shan Hai Jing. Someone wrote it when I read it before. It seems to be a baboon spirit?"

As he spoke, Bai Youping took a look at the photos on Baidu with his mobile phone, and handed them to Ye Xun'an.

Ye Xun'an took it over, and was about to tell the description of Wutong in the underworld manual intact, but found that Wang Laoqi was still on the side, he thought for a while and wanted to avoid the important thing:

"We... our book has no pictures, and it has been printed for too long. There are only some hand-drawn drawings, which are exaggerated. Because Wutong is cruel and lewd by nature, the people are afraid of it, so we have to call it 'Wutong God'. In the temple Although there are five statues of gods enshrined, they are all nameless, and in ancient times, "five" is a false finger. Therefore, "five connections" also means the king of demons."

"Huh? Still a goblin leader?" Bai Youping still had lingering fears about Hua Sha and Huang Pizi last time, but he didn't expect to meet the goblin leader so soon.

Hearing Ye Xun'an's words, Wang Laoqi was even more frightened: "Master Bai, this little brother, you must save me, even if you can't save me, you can't let that Wutong hurt my daughter!" ah."

Bai Youping poured a glass of water and handed it to Wang Laoqi: "Don't get excited, just listen to what he has to say. What is the origin of this Wutong, and is there any way to restrain it?"

"There are different opinions about its origin. Because it has long been classified as evil and heretics, it has been destroyed several times in history, and it has gradually faded out of the Three Realms. There are few folks offering sacrifices. The latest records about Wutong also stay in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Wutong was good at Transformation, or a handsome man of scholar-bureaucrat, changes according to people's preferences, and has a cruel temperament. The people fear and loathe him. In ancient times, three stones were often seen stacked together on mountain roads and forests. This is the "Shandrill Temple". As long as the villagers who enter the mountain meet them, they must bow down and offer incense, and they must leave some food with them as temple sacrifices. Otherwise, Wutong will definitely blame
