Chapter 133: Chenghuangtan Village
With a "bang", it shook like a hill hitting the ground, and Mengsheng's whole body shot straight into the pond embankment on the opposite bank, and only his feet were exposed and swaying. Fortunately, there is a colorful god Aya to protect herself, otherwise there would really be a problem.
"Hurry up, come and pull people out. Several villagers shouted. People seem to have become accustomed to it.
Mengsheng was waiting for the spell to blast open the embankment, and he felt a few hands pulling his feet, and he heard the sound of "hey, hey, hey" in his ears. In front of mortals, Mengsheng can only be mortals again. He let the villagers pull him out of the hole.
"Young man, why don't you look at the words on the tree, but you actually walked into the circle. The villager said kindly.
"I persuaded him, but he just didn't listen, this is his own suffering. The villager said, "Fortunately, I wasn't hurt." ”
Seeing his disgraced face, Mengsheng thought that he was really asking for hardship, if he listened to the words of the villagers, he would not have experienced this, and if he hadn't used the heavy fall method, he would not have been shot so deeply. The was filled with caves of different sizes and depths, and Yusei knew that they were the work of people like himself.
Mengsheng got up from the ground and thanked the surrounding villagers repeatedly, saying that he came from Wanzhangtan, and he didn't know this, which made everyone laugh.
"Uncle, why would a person be shot here if he walked into the edge of the ancient poplar tree in that circle?" Mengsheng asked curiously.
"Young man, I heard that the Chenghuang Pond on our side and the Wanzhang Pond on your side were formed at the same time. An older villager said, "Legend has it that at that time, there was a dragon who was cut off from heaven for stealing holy relics, and his head fell on you and turned into a deep pool, and its lower body fell on our city god's side, and it was stirred into seventy-two deep pools, which were later called Chenghuang Pond." These 72 pools are all made of the organs of its body, and this bow pool is said to have been formed by the loss of a bow-shaped rib on its body. ”
"I see, no wonder this pool is so magical. Mengsheng suddenly realized. It seems that the first wreckage of the lower half of the body in the search for the kiss was this rib.
After the villagers dispersed, Mengsheng took out the cranial kiss and injected his divine sense into it. The white occipital bone of the brain flashed with brilliance, and I saw that the occipital bone of the brain was shining with dim bright spots of different sizes, and there was a brightest red dot in the middle. Mengsheng knew that those bright spots were the various wrecks in the lower half of the body, and the brightest red dot in the middle was the ribs in the pool.
Mengsheng held the occipital bone of the brain in his hand and walked towards the pool along the bright spots.
"Hurry up and save people, someone has thrown themselves into the river. The villagers before had been watching Mengsheng's every move, and he had been blaming himself, why didn't he stop this young man from Wanzhang Pond just now, causing him to be shot on the opposite side of the pond and making him lose his head. After the villagers pulled him out, he still paid attention to him, afraid that something would happen to him again. Sure enough, the young man actually walked to the middle of the pond and wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river. What a deal, and he hurriedly shouted.
When the villagers heard the shouting, they all gathered together and ran to Mengsheng's side. When Mengsheng walked halfway up to the water, he heard the voices of people on the shore and shouted: "Save people." "Busy looking to the shore. But he saw that the villagers on the shore were throwing bamboo pennies and ropes at him. He kept shouting: "Young man, don't think about it, catch the penny quickly, and pull the rope quickly." ”
Mengsheng really can't cry or laugh, but it's no wonder that the villagers are kind, the people's hearts are kind, and the village style is pure. Mengsheng was sincerely moved, good is great, heaven and earth can be learned. Mengsheng felt that his state of mind suddenly became clear, and the door to the sky seemed to be opening to him again. And the people in front of him also flashed a little light.
Mengsheng stretched out his hands to the basket and the rope, and felt the supreme and pure spiritual power coming from the rope, which made his whole body tremble, and the Xuantian Leaf, Xuantian Bead and Xuantian Candle that lived in his body also slowly rotated. The three spirit treasures have formed a cycle with each other, going back and forth.
Mengsheng was finally rescued by the villagers, and everyone surrounded him to ask for warmth. This city god pond nurtures such simple villagers, and Mengsheng has tears in his eyes.
"Young man, go home with me, let's drink and chatter. There's nothing I can't think of. A villager who had been paying attention to him pulled Mengsheng and said.
"Uncle, actually, I-" Mengsheng was busy trying to explain, but he didn't know how to explain.
"Don't think too much, young man, the road has to go on. The old man took Mengsheng and left, "Let's go home." ”
At this moment, Mengsheng could only go home with the old man.
It is a simple courtyard, the courtyard wall climbs with loofahs and gourds, lentils and green peppers grow on the corners of the wall, and all kinds of flowers are planted in front of the courtyard gate. Under the loofah stand is a square table with a kettle and several tea bowls. A cute puppy was circling around the square table. Seeing the old man come in with Mengsheng, he called out affectionately, as if to say "welcome, welcome", and then sat down next to Mengsheng's ankles, stretching out his tongue and looking at Mengsheng.
"Come, young man, sit down, drink a bowl of tea, and settle down. The old man pulled Mengsheng and sat down at the square table. Then he said loudly to the house: "Old woman, stir-fry a few dishes, there are guests coming." ”
"Okay, old man, I'll be right here. The old lady in the house responded.
What a warm home it is, and Mengsheng feels like he is bathed in this warm atmosphere.
Soon, the old aunt brought a few pots of vegetables, including fried beans, scrambled eggs with loofah, loach with tofu, and stewed chicken with gourd. The old man casually took out a jar of fruit wine from the table, patted it and poured a large bowl full of it for Mengsheng.
"Young man, come and drink, get a good night's sleep, and when you wake up there is nothing to do. The old man himself poured a bowl of wine and said to Mengsheng.
Although the old man's words were not sorry for himself at all, and he had always been mistaken for suicide by throwing himself into the river, Mengsheng felt excited from the bottom of his heart, he raised the wine bowl, drank it violently, and choked until his face was red and his neck was thick.
"Hahaha, it's hard enough, it's the first time the young man has been drinking. The old man said happily, "My Uncle Zhang is also old, but he is full of hope for life." Seeing the sun come out is the beginning of the day. This man is afraid that he will not see the sun come out. ”
"Uncle, thank you for reminding me, in fact, I don't want to die, boy. Mengsheng said.
"Okay, it's good to be sober, let's drink wine, it's getting late, and people have to sleep. Uncle Zhang said excitedly, "This west wing has been empty, you can sleep there, you can't go out in the middle of the night." ”
Mengsheng and the strength of the wine, in a daze, followed the old man to the west wing, slept on the bed, looked at the bright moonlight through the doors and windows, listened to the frogs outside the house, and felt that his mood had never been calm. Suddenly, he felt his heart glow red, and when he opened his clothes, he found that the occipital bone of his brain was glowing red. Mengsheng took it out and looked at it carefully, only to see that there was a large red dot shining in the middle of the occipital bone of the brain.
Could it be that there is a wreck of a kiss in this house? Dream gave birth to a spirit, and immediately turned over and got up, and followed the bright spot to find it. He came to the door, and the bright spot was a little dimer, and he moved slowly, comparing them repeatedly, until he finally found that when he came to the bed, the bright light was the remains of the mantis kiss on the bed.
Mengsheng removed the quilt and straw mat, and the bright spot was still bright, but when Mengsheng removed the bedboard, the bright spot was actually dimmed. When I came to the bed, the bright spot was in full bloom again. It seems that this bed board is part of the remains of the mantis kiss.
Mengsheng lifted up the bed board and took a closer look, and found that the bed board was brown and gray in color, with meridians running back and forth in the middle, and he was busy injecting his divine sense, it turned out to be a shark's fin, that is, a tail of the mantiss.
Mengsheng was not surprised, this old man pulled him to drink and sleep, and there was something he was looking for on this bed. It's really hard to find a place to break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.
Mengsheng was about to put this tail into the Xuantian Bead, but stopped halfway. In this true, pure and kind village customs and people's feelings, Mengsheng's heart actually hurt.
The villagers of this city god pool actually do not close their doors at night, this kind of village style makes Mengsheng full of emotion, thinking that he just wanted to steal this "bed board" into the Xuantian bead, he felt embarrassed. Mengsheng laid out the bed again, lay on the bed, listened to the sound of frogs outside, and felt quiet in his heart.
The next day, while Mengsheng was still in a dream, he heard a hearty laugh ringing in the courtyard: "Hahaha, it's another sunny day." ”
Mengsheng knew that Uncle Zhang had gotten up, and he also got up in a hurry. came to the courtyard, but saw Uncle Zhang stretching out his fists and exposing his arms and playing long punches.
"Morning, old man. Mengsheng stepped forward to say hello.
"Young man, did you sleep well?" said Uncle Zhang heartily.
"The cool breeze at night and the sound of frogs are so refreshing. Mengsheng said, "Uncle, you don't close your doors here at night?"
"Young man, in our city God's Pond, it can be said that the road is not left behind, and the night is not closed. Uncle Zhang said, "This has become a habit." I'm sure you're not much worse there. ”
"Uncle here is really pure village style and good people, which makes me ashamed. Mengsheng said.
"What's wrong with the young man?" asked Uncle Zhang.
"Uncle, I'll tell you the truth, I tried to steal your bed board last night. Mengsheng said honestly.
"Stealing the bed board?" asked Uncle Zhang, "young man, there must be some reason, right?" said Uncle Zhang.
"Actually," Mengsheng said hesitantly, "Uncle Zhang, I did come here for something. But it's not for myself, I'm here to save someone. ”
"Young man, make it clear, if there are any difficulties, we will help you solve them together. Uncle Zhang said enthusiastically.
Mengsheng then told Uncle Zhang about the rescue of the kiss thoroughly.
