She was referring to the one next to the house where we lived.That small temple seems to have been abandoned a long time ago, and there are usually no people worshipping, it is very dilapidated, and even the stone statue at the entrance of the small temple is full of bird droppings, or I wiped my face!
I hurriedly asked the old lady, what kind of fairy is enshrined here?
The old lady gave me popular science, saying that it was to fill the pit Niangniang Temple.Pit filling......
Empress?
Needless to say, it's the first time I've heard such a term.Other Niangniang temples either send children, or get married, and even bless women with ingenuity, fill in the pits......
What is this director doing?
Who has nothing to do to fill in the pits?
Besides, isn't it the old man who appeared on the edge of the ghost pond?
Why did you get involved with your mother again?
The little fat man couldn't help but interject: "Lao Tie, could it be that this lady is bless the online novel and let the author fill in the hole?"
”Luo Xiaomei pursed her mouth into a catfish: "Your idea is too advanced, the "filling hole" on the Internet has only appeared for a few years, how can this temple be more than a hundred and ten years, right?"
How could it be such a concept. ”The little fat man was not convinced: "What is a fairy, the fairy is known for 500 years, and 500 years later, it is estimated that the temple was built in advance, let's post it on the Internet, let those who write novels and do not fill in the pit come to worship this mother." ”The little fat man chased an online novel eunuch a while ago, which made him particularly angry about the word "filling the pit".I pushed the little fat man aside and asked the old lady to explain in detail how this lady came to be.The old lady was also confused, she didn't know what the little fat man was talking about, she was meditating hard, and when she heard me ask, she hurriedly gave me popular science.It turns out that in the legend, why did this ghost gate county get such a name, it is because this place is at the intersection of the human world and the underworld, and it is the "ghost gate pass".Historically, there have been many people who claim to have witnessed the ghost gate open here, and countless dead people have walked out from here.The people of Guimen County have lived here for generations, and they know the rules, but one year, something bad happened.The local cold began to haunt the ghosts, making a lot of noise, and many people were so frightened that they lost their souls - this thing is strange, the dignified ghost door is closed, shouldn't it be strictly guarded by the underworld, what ghost dares to make trouble in this place?
Later, the locals discovered that a crack had been opened in the mountain in this place, and countless dead people had been drilled out of that crack.This is equivalent to that between the human world and the underworld, there is such an unguarded exit, and the ghost gate county really deserves its name, and it has become a ghost gate.If you can't go on like this, why should you stop?
If you let modern people say that they can't live in it, they will move away, but the ancient people don't think so - the fields and houses in this place are all left by the ancestors, and if you lose your head, you can't lose the property left by your ancestors, so the locals gathered together to think about how to fill the crack.But after all, it is a crack leading to the underworld, and what do some living people fill it with, and how do they fill it?
At this moment, Zhang Tianshi traveled here, and when he heard that something big had happened here, he planned to rescue the locals from the dire situation.He told the locals that if they wanted to fill it, it was not difficult, and that each family had to take out the mirrors they usually used at home, melt them into copper juice, and pour them into the cracks.In ancient times, of course, it was not the current mercury mirror, but the bronze mirror, everyone knows that the mirror can ward off evil spirits, and the evil things are projected on the mirror, and they will be injured back.As soon as the locals heard this, they thanked Zhang Tianshi and went door-to-door to collect mirrors.The girl's daughter-in-law heard that she could help, so she took out her mirror, but there was a girl's mirror, which was given to her by her lover who went to Beijing to take the exam, it was a good mirror, and there was no clearer than that mirror within a radius of ten miles.This is the only token of love given to her by the lover, and when the lover is titled on the gold list, he will carry the sedan chair and carry her to get married, and the mirror is her dowry - the mirror is round, and the person is reunited.But now that the lover hasn't come back, if he takes out the mirror, how will he face the lover when he turns around?
She was a little reluctant - although the mirror was handed over, she still couldn't let go of it in her heart, and went to the gap every day to watch people turn the mirror into the mirror and pour copper juice.Her own mirror was in the big box, mixed with the other tattered mirrors, and she could see her own mirror at a glance every time.She is always unhappy in her heart - how can her good mirror be mixed with those bad mirrors?
People are willing, but she can't be reluctant!
A woman saw it, so she secretly persuaded her, saying that there are so many mirrors, there is no shortage of yours - you can't beat the trough cake without an egg?
When you wait for the craftsman to rest in the evening, you can just take the mirror back, and no one will be able to see it.She felt a little bad at first, but she couldn't bear the woman's persuasion back and forth, and she was reluctant to do it with herself, so she still made up her mind and secretly stole the mirror at night.When it was time to fill the cracks, everyone went to the side of the mountain to watch.She also went, carrying her good mirror, and was glad that if she hadn't stolen the mirror back, her own mirror would have been mixed up like that now.Seeing that the copper juice is about to be poured in, but it is almost a little bit, and it can't be sealed!
The locals sweated profusely, so they asked these locals, is it who didn't send mirrors?
Zhang Tianshi said that every family has to send it, and if there is one less family, this gap will not be blocked!
The girl chuckled in her heart, and then she knew that the problem was her own.And at this moment, she saw that the woman who persuaded her to steal the mirror stood quietly under the tree, covered her mouth, and smiled secretly—that woman had no shadow, not a person.Only then did the girl realize that she had been deceived by a ghost who didn't want to seal the crack.She immediately stepped forward and handed over her mirror.But now there is no fire, no one can burn the copper juice, seeing that the copper juice is about to flow down from the crack again, and the demons and monsters in the crack are scrambling to squeeze it out.The locals knew that it was broken, and I was afraid that all this effort was in vain, and the girl saw that the crack was blocked, and she held the mirror herself, and begged someone to pull her up.One of the craftsmen could not bear her pleading, so he pulled a hand, and she jumped down the hill and filled in the mutilated place.At this moment, the crack was immediately sealed, and the demons and monsters were all resealed inside, and the girl who jumped down with the mirror in her arms was buried in it and could never come back.She made up for her own life.Therefore, the locals thanked her for sacrificing herself and built her the temple of Niangniang who filled the pit.It's just that the time is too long, in addition to filling the pit, she can't bless other aspects, the crack has always been very strong, and no one will go to burn incense to ask for help in order to fill the pit, after a long time, of course the small temple will be deserted.Yes, God is worshiped by people to have the ability to bless people, and if people do not worship, God will lose his faith and will slowly disappear.This Niangniang Temple should be like this.But Niangniangmiao listened, and still couldn't fight with the Rakshasa bird eight poles in this ghost pond, could it be that because the body of the baby girl was filled into the pond, it belonged to her business scope of "filling the pit"?
Besides, what does that old man have to do with the pit filling Niangniang Temple?
As soon as I thought about it, I ran to the Niangniang Temple.Like when I first visited, this little temple was in a dilapidated state, almost like the Temple of the Plague King in Guo Feipeng - even worse than the overgrown Temple of the Plague King, because it was next to the fruit trees, and it was almost drowned in bird droppings.And as soon as I looked up, I saw the general's face that I wiped clean, and I was stunned instantly.Groove ......
Not to mention, why does this stone statue of the general look a little like that old man?
If I hadn't come back and had another look, I wouldn't have seen it at all!
So I immediately asked the locals, why did this Niangniang Temple set up a statue of a general?
The old lady who sold soy milk hurriedly said: "The locals all think that there must be someone here to protect her - you see, Maitreya Buddha has Wei Tuo, Guan Erye has Zhou Cang, Guanyin Niangniang also has a golden boy and jade girl, and so on, since it is a fairy, there must be a protector, right?"
So according to the appearance of the craftsman who pulled Niangniang, he built such a stone statue for Niangniang to be a protector of the Dharma - the name should be called the Dharma Protector General, but since we were children, we have called him the Pit Filling General. ”It seems that this matter has something to do with this general!
But there is no Niang Niang in charge of affairs in this place, how can the general, who is a protector of the Dharma, still be able to manifest his spirit?
At this moment, a woman seemed to remember something, and said, "My mother said that this general will bless people!"
”Then she told the story, saying that when her mother was a child, she went up the mountain to pick mushrooms, and when it rained, she took shelter from the rain under the temple, but she didn't think that the rain was too big, and washed down the stones on the mountain, and she hid behind the pit filler general, and the stone smashed half of the back of the pit filler's head, but it didn't hit her.Her mother felt that it must have been the manifestation of the pit filler who saved her life, and since then, her mother has remembered to burn incense and fruit for the pit filler when it comes to the New Year's holidays - until the end of this year, her mother is gone.So that's what happened, and that's the truth - I figured out what was going on.At this time, the voice of the long hand suddenly sounded: "Look at this. ”I looked back, and the long hand had somehow gotten into the temple full of cobwebs and giant geckos, and hung a shoulder of dirt, but he didn't realize it, and he didn't even shoot it, and was pointing to something and letting me in.
