"The mountain god marries?"
Isn't this the plot of some TV series, or some kind of story?
How can there really be such a thing?
"No, I've read it in the book."
I replied to Grandma.
"Yesterday I went downstairs to your Grandma Li's house to chat, and your Grandma Li told me a strange custom in her hometown, saying that in their place, every ten years, they would choose a little girl under the age of thirteen to marry the mountain god, saying that it would bless them with good weather and no disease."
If I had changed before, I would have not believed what my grandmother said, thinking it was superstition, but now that I myself am a superstitious existence, I no longer deny this kind of thing, so I smiled and said to my grandmother: "These are natural weather, even if it is a mountain god, this god is going to rain and have a plague, how can he control it." ” "Yes, now that science and technology are developed, those who grow crops and raise ginseng, those who should make money make money, and those who should lose money are still losing money, they were backward before, there was no high technology, and the family was poor, and the children could not be raised, and it was also planted to be dedicated to the mountain gods, and now the children of the family are as expensive as gold, how can anyone want to let their children die in vain."
"That's not enshrined."
"I can't help but send it, the mountain god gave a dream to the people in Grandma Li's village, saying that if they don't worship, the mountain god will cut off their entire village from their children and grandchildren, in the past, the village used to pool money to buy little girls from human traffickers and send them to the mountain to marry the mountain god, but now the human traffickers are strictly arrested, and they will go back tomorrow, you Grandma Li can be worried to death about this matter."
Originally, I listened to this incident as a story, but when I heard my grandmother say that when they bought children from human traffickers in their village, they couldn't drink the porridge with anger, and told my grandmother how could there be such villagers and gods, this god is all to keep people safe, he is good, but he also wants to kill people, isn't there anyone in that village who invites someone to clean up the mountain god?
"I didn't dare to invite before, but now your Grandma Li revealed to me that the people in their village also have this idea, but I don't know where to find someone, I just remembered that you just offered immortals, and I want to ask you if you have a powerful immortal introduction, and also save Grandma Li and those little girls."
Grandma asked this, this is really a little embarrassing for me, the only people I have been in contact with immortals now are Yinggu and Liu Longting, and I have to consider the identity of the other party's mountain gods, some of our immortals must not be able to fight him, but I think that Liu Longting seems to have some cultivation, and there are still a bunch of brothers and sisters in the family, maybe he knows some masters or something.
I first verbally promised my grandmother, and told my grandmother that I would first ask Liu Longting what he said, if he had connections, he might be able to cure the mountain god.
When my grandmother heard me say this, the wrinkles on her face deepened, and she praised me for being a good granddaughter, and then peeled eggs for me and asked me to eat more.
Seeing my grandmother so happy, my heart was also warm, so I quickly ate breakfast, immediately turned around and went to the incense hall, put a few sticks of incense on Liu Longting, and invited him out.
Now that he is at home, there is no one else, Liu Longting directly turned into a white snake and slipped down from the incense platform, coiled on the cushion of the chair, and told me that in fact, he can deal with the mountain god, and he doesn't need to invite others, just want to ask me if I have any ideas?
Originally, I was thinking about how to tell Liu Longting about this matter, after all, I am not very familiar with him now, and I must be humble if I want him to help, but I didn't expect him to directly answer the question I wanted to ask, which made me can't help but praise Liu Longting, he is so powerful.
As soon as Liu Longting heard me say this, he raised his snake head, got down from the chair, wrapped his arms around my neck, looked at me with a pair of round little eyes, and snorted: "I know most of the things you know, and we are separated by a door that has not been closed, you talk to your grandmother, I won't hear it?"
” Not only why, looking at Liu Longting's white body, lazily wrapped around my neck is really cute, and listening to what he just said, he instantly became cute and cute in my eyes for a while, so I leaned over to him with joy: "I thought you couldn't hear it, but the other party is a mountain god, aren't the mountain gods very powerful, how do you deal with him?"
” When I said this, I reached out and gently touched Liu Longting's little white head, Liu Longting didn't hide, but stuck me tighter, but maybe I felt that it was inconvenient to talk to me like this, and turned back into a human body, standing in front of me, looking out the window with my back to me.
"But all gods, especially the gods of mountains and rivers, live in the world because of man's faith, and the stronger man's belief in him, the more powerful his divine power will be; On the contrary, if people say that he is a demon, he is a demon.
The villagers in that place have long lost faith in the mountain god, the mountain god has taken off the coat of a god, without the support of faith, he is also a cultivation spirit like me, since this is the case, we can give it a try. ” After all, it wasn't me who fought against that mountain god, and I didn't know much about how powerful Liu Longting was, so I didn't ask much about the details, and simply asked Liu Longting: "Then what are the chances of winning against him?"
” "Eighty percent, after all, I have also cultivated for more than seven hundred years."
When Liu Longting said this, he glanced at me sideways, the sun that had just risen outside shrouded his body through the glass window, and his face was white and handsome, like a piece of white jade carefully carved, the more he looked at it, the more he wanted to touch his face forward, and ask him how this face looked so good.
I'm relieved, but there's something I still want to ask Liu Longting.
"You came to me last night?"
"Yes and what?
Want to ask what I did to you?
Liu Longting raised his eyebrows and replied crisply.
I'm Cao!
I just wanted to ask Liu Longting what he did to me last night, but he replied so confidently that I was a little embarrassed to continue, so I told him that it was nothing, and we would go back with Grandma Li tomorrow.
Liu Longting looked at me and smiled at the corners of his mouth, but he didn't speak, which was regarded as a tacit acquiescence, and then disappeared in place, leaving a trace of the morning sun like gold.
I told my grandmother the words of Liu Longting as they were, and my grandmother went downstairs to tell Grandma Li the good news, and Grandma Li came to my house with several boxes of gifts, saying that this time it was really troublesome for me, and I heard my grandmother say yesterday that now I have become a fairy family, and she also wants to invite me, but I am afraid that I am a newcomer, I can't deal with it, and I am afraid that I will be involved, and now I take the initiative to help her, and there is such a big certainty, she really wants to thank me for those dead girls, and thank me for the people in their village.
The next day, when I took the bus back to the village with her, I asked Grandma Li why she had already married and was not a member of the village, so why did she follow this rule?
It's okay not to ask, as soon as I asked me this, Grandma Li immediately cried bitterly: "Can't escape, can't escape, people in our village grew up drinking his mountain spring, he remembers each of us, one of my sisters, when she was a child, was selected to sacrifice to the mountain god, was dragged up the mountain by adults, and starved ......to death in the mountain temple." ” I have never experienced this kind of thing, and I can't imagine that in a civilized modern society, there is such a backward and cruel thing, seeing Grandma Li crying so sadly, I don't know how to comfort ...... for a while.
Grandma Li's hometown was so remote that it couldn't be more remote, so we started to take a bus, then changed trains, and then changed buses, and finally we had to take a mountain wheel to walk more than ten miles on a remote mountain road before we arrived at the village, called Qipan Village, behind which were all rolling tall mountains.
The village is very much the same as I thought, the dilapidated ones are no longer the same, and those who remain in the village are all old people in their eighties and nineties, and most of the people in the village, like Grandma Li, have moved out to live, and now they are all hurrying back because of a custom that cannot be violated.
The village chief was an old man, his face was blown into several deep ravines by the mountain wind, and he held a pipe in his hand, and when Grandma Li told him that she had found someone to deal with the mountain god, his expression was still numb, and he snorted, which was considered to be a promise.
In the past few days, after I settled down in Grandma Li's hometown, I asked Liu Longting what method we have to deal with this mountain god?
Liu Longting was not nervous at all, he appeared in front of me, looked at my whole body wantonly, and said to me: "Use you instead of the girl to be worshipped, and sacrifice to the mountain god." ”
