273, Stone Grandma Temple (2/2)

While Gou Shengzi is absorbing and digesting the fire,

Li Yueshan looked at Su Wu, who was frowning in thought, and laughed out loud.

When Su Wu looked at him,

When eyes full of curiosity fell on him,

He slowly took out the new pipe, stuffed it with tobacco leaves, and lit the pipe with a kindling.

Bata Bata closed his eyes and enjoyed the pot of smoke.

But he didn't respond to his disciple's gaze.

"Master, do you know this disciple..." The old naughty boy got angry, and Su Wu had no choice but to take the initiative to ask.

Before he could finish speaking, Li Yueshan shook his hand at him and grinned: "Don't ask me, I don't know what's going on with you.

Do you think I know everything when you are your master?

However, don’t worry too much.

in my opinion,

This kind of difference in you is actually a good thing - it is related to your own destiny.

When did you get the chance?

Let’s find a capable Taoist priest in the Taoist temple.

Ask them to tell your fortune, and you will probably know why you have this strange appearance.

There's no point worrying too much now...

Just put your heart back in your belly!

I think your destiny should be quite suitable to be the stove master of our Kitchen God Sect. "

Listening to Master's words, Su Wu's inner worries finally subsided a lot.

"Go and see if Zhu'er and Qingmiao have finished dividing the rice?

After the division is finished, let them come over.

Also receive a ray of fire. "Li Yueshan saw that Gou Sheng was about to wake up, so he ordered Su Wu.

Su Wu nodded in agreement,

Out of the temple.

Next to the rice box outside the temple,

The mountains of food had been distributed, and the linen bags had been begged by the villagers.

at this time,

Li Zhuer and sister-in-law Zhaodi were opening the rice box.

Check out the ‘merit rice’ harvested this time.

After processing or planting, the 'merit rice' will produce nine orifices and become the real 'soul harvesting rice'.

The two women lowered their heads to check the merit rice in the box, but did not notice Su Wu approaching.

"It's almost full..."

"I heard from Master that this box can hold five hundred kilograms of grain and rice. There should be more than four hundred kilograms in the box now..."

"I really want it.

It’s so much meter, and it’s very hard to carry it back and forth.

It would be great if senior brother could use shadow to hide everything..."

"Um.

Bumping back and forth on the road is always bad;

I hope we can build our own kitchen soon. "

The two girls were full of hope and whispered softly.

Su Wu approached them,

I took a look at the 'merit rice' in the rice box, and sure enough, it was almost full.

He nodded secretly.

He said to the two girls: "Master asked you to go to the temple."

"Ah, senior brother!"

"...Senior brother."

Only then did the two women react. After greeting Su Wu, they went to the temple to collect the firewood.

Su Wu absorbed one third of the firewood in the stone brazier.

The four of them, Gou Shengzi, Li Zhuer, Li Qingmiao, and the mute girl Xiuxiu, together absorbed most of the remaining money.

The master finally absorbed less than one-fifth of them.

The Yinxi Maizao team opened the temple for the first time,

Everyone gains something.

The biggest gain among them was undoubtedly Su Wu. Not only did he successfully upgrade the 'Buddha's Mahamudra Technique' to the level of 'Light Blessing' with the help of those few rays of fire, but he also intertwined the 'Fire Net' with the outside and inside of the body.

Based on his own speculation,

Already discovered,

This kind of flame net can communicate with the fire in the stove and the power of all living beings' wishes.

In the future, you can save a lot of energy when frying the big fish, and the success rate of frying the big fish will skyrocket!

The remaining Li Zhuer and others,

After absorbing the fire, their respective origins were strengthened, and their physical fitness improved to varying degrees.

Stored the stove fire,

Li Yueshan invited the temple blessings selected from Qingshi Nianzi Village.

Ask him to press his fingerprints on the stone brazier.

The destiny is connected with the divine place here.

"What kind of name should this temple give?

Have you village elders ever reached an agreement? "Behind Li Yueshan stood Su Wu and other disciples, and in front of him were the village chief and clan elders with several major surnames. He watched the young Miao Zhu get up from the ground and turned to ask the village elders.

“There used to be a stone roller in our village.

It was by borrowing this stone mill to grind wheat and rice that it gradually gained popularity and formed the current village.

So, we discussed,

This temple might as well be called the ‘Stone Granny Temple’.

The god inside is the ‘Stone Granny’. "

Li Chang hunched over and replied with a smile.

"good."

Li Yueshan was noncommittal: "Then make a plaque as soon as possible and hang it outside the temple.

The village temple has been nameless for too long,

If it becomes a wild temple, it will be difficult to clean up. "

"Yes Yes……"

"Now that the temple has been opened,

We will not stay here any longer.

Immediately, I was ready to set off and go to Xiongxiu Town. "Li Yueshan turned to talk about other things.

"Are you leaving now?

Wouldn't it be better if we don't have to rush to leave early tomorrow morning? "Li Chang said, "Let's go now, I'm afraid we may not be able to reach Xiongxiu Town before dark..."

“There are villages within twenty or thirty miles around Xiongxiu Town where you can stay.

I don’t want to be able to rush to Xiongxiu Town today.

It's also good to go to a nearby village.

After all, tomorrow is the Xiongxiu Town Fair, so we have to go to the market early to have a look and buy some things. "

"I see,

But today we have to leave as soon as possible, so we won’t waste the master’s time.

I'll find a few people to help you pack your things and give you a ride! "

Several people in the temple were talking,

Walked out of the temple.

Several village elders hurriedly asked Qingzhuang to help carry things.

Li Yueshan walked to the open space,

——All the sundries in the open space have been piled on the two platoon trucks.

The rice box containing more than 400 kilograms of merit rice was also moved to the cart by Li Qingmiao and Zhu'er, fixed with ropes, and they were ready to set off after Master's order.

"Just keep this three-burner firewood stove here.

During festivals and festivals, when you offer sacrifices to Granny Shitou in the temple, you can use these three stoves. "

The fat old man said a few words to the chief next to him.

He then took out three fire starters from his arms and used each fire starter to light the life-protecting fire and soul-burning fire in the three stoves.

The head of the fire is red,

He sealed the fire with some kind of special stopper and put it in his arms.

He also took down three lanterns from the paizi cart,

Pour some ordinary lamp oil into the iron bowl and add cotton thread.

It was lit with the flame in the three-burner stove and hung on the front of the car.

At this time,

The young man from Qingshi Nianzi Village came driving a cow and a donkey.

Two big animals pulled two platoon carts,

Everyone gathered around Yin Ximai’s kitchen team as they left the village.

He was sent directly to the village seven or eight miles away.

The villagers had just turned back with their livestock.

“With animals helping to pull the cart, the journey is indeed faster and saves a lot of effort.

We must buy a big animal in Xiongxiu Town tomorrow! "Li Yueshan looked at the retreating figures of the villagers for a while, then turned back and said to Su Wu and other disciples, "Okay, let's set off now!

There is a Siniu Village more than ten miles away.

We will stay there tonight, and at dawn tomorrow, we will rush from there to Xiongxiu Town.

Let's go!

Ah Wu, you pull another platoon car,

Zhu'er and Qingmiao, help your senior brother push the cart.

Gou Shengzi, come here and push the cart for me!

Xiuxiu, follow me, but don’t get lost! "

A group of people pushed and pulled two platoon trucks with debris piled as high as a hill onto the main road.

Walking towards the Siniu Village that Li Yueshan mentioned.

A paizi cart is a large board with guardrails on both sides, a transportation vehicle mounted on a pair of horizontal bar wheels.

This kind of transport truck has two handles at the back and can be pushed forward by people.

There is an iron hook in front,

Put on the leash and you can pull it forward.

The cart that Su Wu was pulling was filled with bedding, clothes and other items that looked bulky but actually didn't weigh much. Even so, the master assigned two young women to help him push the cart. ,

And on the platoon cart pulled by Master,

Rice boxes, weapon boxes, cooking utensils, pottery altars and other things were piled up.

Extremely heavy.

so many things,

Fortunately, the Yinximai Zao team members have all received the blessing of Xinhuo, and their physical fitness has improved, so although pushing and pulling is more laborious, they can still push and carry it away.

If before,

With these things, everyone wanted to rush to Siniu Village before dark, but it was impossible!

This time,

It was also when it was getting dark that we arrived at Siniu Village.

Siniu Village is smaller than Qingshi Nianzi Village.

There is no temple in the village.

There are quite a few dilapidated houses.

Seeing outsiders coming to the village, the good people in Siniu Village can't help but ask a few more questions, where are they from? Where to go?

Are you selling this big girl and your little daughter-in-law?

The questions these people ask are getting more and more outrageous.

But when Li Yueshan revealed his identity as a kitchen leader, they all kept silent, hunched their necks and went back to their homes with their tails between their legs.

Not long after,

A village elder brought some boiled sweet potatoes.

A not too shabby empty house was arranged for the Yinximai Zao team to rest.

Light the lamps in the earthen house,

An earthen kang is reflected against the wall on one side of the door.

The firewood stove under the earthen kang fell halfway down.

Only the eye of fire was left exposed, and there were still some dusty ashes of vegetation in the eye of the fire.

The village elder placed a few boiled sweet potatoes supported by leaves on the corner of the stove.

Turning around, he said with shame to Li Yueshan: "There is not much food in the village, and there is nothing to entertain Grandpa Zhangzao. If there is anything that I have not done well, please bear with me."

Those gossipy bastards,

I will teach them a lesson for you. "

"It was the old man who was harassing you.

How can I blame you for not treating me well? "Li Yueshan took the two horses from Su Wu with a smile, gave one to himself and the village elder, and sat down against the wall. He took the village elder's hand and asked in a warm voice, "These days. Is the surrounding area peaceful? "

"It's pretty peaceful."

The village elder nodded,

On the dark and yellow face, wrinkles are squeezed together.

The cloudy eyes sparkled slightly,

After thinking for a moment, the old man added: "Life in the countryside is just like this, and there are rarely any storms.

Just a few days ago, two corpse drivers stayed in our village for one night.

From what they said, they were heading to Huochuanpu, which was more than a hundred miles away. "

"The corpse hunter?

Is it the corpse exorcists from the Yi Village in the south, or the corpse exorcists from the Maoshan witches? "Li Yueshan asked next.

Su Wu approached quietly,

He listened with open ears to the conversation between Master and the village elder.

What corpse hunter?

What kind of loose connections, Maoshan witch?

"They said it came from the south.

It came from a place called ‘Changfu Yizhuang’. ”

“Then it should be to spread out the network of people.” Li Yueshan nodded.
