MTL - Celestial Immortal-Chapter 4 Two skins of the cow
Chapter 4 Skinning Two Cows
In this world of gods and ghosts, if he encounters such weird things alone, Chu Chen must have straight hair in his heart and avoid him far away.
However, there is a long way to go, Chu Chen is not afraid, but faintly expects.
Three steps and two steps, followed up.
After a hundred steps, after passing a big bump, the two met the old man who was buried in crying.
The old man’s linen short coat, washed white, the upper body, trousers, and dark skin are stained with a lot of loess and mud. There is a pair of torn straw shoes on the soles of the feet, and there is nothing surprising in the appearance of an ordinary rural farmer.
"Lao Zhang, what has happened to you?"
The old man suddenly heard the sound, perhaps a little frightened, and subconsciously leaned back.
But when he looked up, he saw two Taoist priests, his nervous heart relaxed again, touched the tearful old face with his sleeve, and sighed.
"I lost my cow!"
The old man confided to the two.
"This afternoon, I went to Uguishan to herd cattle. There are dense streams and plump water plants. The cows eat very happily. They will not move their nests for a long time. The place was hit by a ton, who knew that when I woke up, the old cow was gone."
"So, I went to find the old cow, and I looked everywhere, and it was an afternoon when I looked."
Speaking of this, the old man who had forcibly held back his tears couldn't jump anymore, and lay down with tears.
"The old cow is the lifeblood of my family. My son broke his leg at an early age and couldn't do heavy work. Old man, I am getting older. Thanks to the old cow for helping me to do heavy work, what should my family do without the old cow? No, I can’t pay the tax and the whole family will starve to death. I can’t help but find it back.”
Listening to the old man talking and talking.
Taoist Xu Ping and Chu Chen looked at each other, confused.
Chu Chen is even more creepy.
There is no other reason. Beside the soil bag, there is an old scalper shaking its tail and chewing grass.
On the side, the reins are firmly tied to the thick tree.
This is a little weird.
The old scalper certainly did not come back by himself, let alone tie himself up.
The old man sat here crying for so long, it is impossible not to find the scalper.
This. It’s weird.
Chu Chen swallowed, pointed at the scalper, and said:
"Lao Zhang, isn't this your scalper?"
The old man looked at the scalper and nodded dumbly.
"It belongs to my house, I searched for it all afternoon and found it!"
Chu Chen, Taoist Xu Ping, and Little Guizai will be more and more puzzled.
Since the scalpers are all found back, why does the old man cry so sad?
Is there any secret?
Seeing the Taoist priests and disciples, the old man choked in a low voice and explained:
"What's the use of finding it, it's been a mistake."
"This is the Day of Prayer for Grandpa Mountain God. I have long since missed the hour to find cattle. Grandpa Mountain God will be angry, oooooo, what to do, what to do!"
Talking and talking,
The old man touched another tear and confided:
"Grandpa Mountain God is the most taboo against being disrespectful by others. If someone prays and recites less on weekdays, he will be angry and punished severely, not to mention delaying the most important day of prayer."
"Old man, I really didn't mean to miss class, it's because the old scalper is too important to my family. Without the old scalper, what should my family do?"
"I have tried my best to find cows, but the time is still missed, oh oh oh, grandpa Shan Shen condemned the crime, the whole family will suffer, old man, what should I do"
"I don’t want this either. I just took a nap because I was too sleepy. It was too late to pray and chant last night."
The old man confided in every word, and as he talked, maybe he was under too much psychological pressure, and he couldn't stop jumping, he immediately started crying, crying more sadly than before.
The little devil was dumbfounded, with confusion in his eyes, surprised at the old man making a fuss, and was taken aback.
Taoist Xu Ping and Chu Chen sighed.
With the experience of Chu Chen's two lives, he can understand the old man's howling and crying, and his emotional breakdown.
This is like in the previous life, an ordinary office worker with a mortgage, car loan, old man, and a small worker, who works diligently and conscientiously every day, earns a salary barely enough to maintain the cost, and lives with high pressure every day. , The spirit is tense, making people feel suffocated.
Suddenly one day I was late for work, and the company had to punish and confiscate bonuses. The original stressful life became more and more confusing
At this moment, the backlog of depression, depression, and exhaustion all at once broke out.
is like the last straw that crushes a camel, causing a nervous breakdown and uncontrollable emotions.
When the man has tears, he does not flick it lightly. The old man cries loudly. It is not because of the sadness and helplessness of many people.
There are royal taxes during the day, and life is a heavy burden; at night, there are demons and evils disturbed, ghosts and gods praying for homework, busy and busy, making people breathless.
The cow peels two skins, one after the other, and the blood is dripping with blood.
The difficulty of life, this moment is vivid and unforgettable.
"Lao Zhang, don't be sad, there must be a road in front of the car, there will always be a way."
Chu Chen squatted down, patted the old man's back lightly with his hand, while comforting him, he looked at Taoist Xu Ping.
The so-called "method", it must be the directory Tiancao, the Taoist master who is carrying the Taoist action.
Among the people present, the Taoist leader is the only one who might be able to help the old man solve his troubles.
Furthermore, with a long-faced cold-hearted temper, he will definitely make a move.
Chu Chen knew this.
But, he didn't rashly speak, and take care of others.
This behavior is too stupid.
Tao Master Xu Ping met Chu Chen's gaze, understood his thoughts, and slightly nodded, as if quite satisfied.
Ordinary young man, frizzy, knowing that he is a celestial servant, and he is a celestial servant. This will probably have boasted to the old man and talked about it.
This child has a pure-hearted mind, has kind thoughts, but can calm down, not arrogant or irritable, which is really good.
Daoist Xu Ping did not say much to Chu Chen, he stretched out his hand to help Lao Zhang up, and said:
"Lao Zhang, there is no problem that cannot be solved. Don't cry and break your body. You can also see that we are Taoists and have the skills to communicate with ghosts and gods. It is better to help you talk to the mountain gods. What do you think?"
"Can this work?"
The old man touched his tears, and he was suspicious: "Grandpa Mountain God was entrusted by the court to worship the Mountain God, but not to the Cthulhu. If it fails, I am afraid that Grandpa Mountain God will become more annoyed, and I, the old man, can't bear it."
Taoist Xu Ping patted the old man on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, the poor Tao is also a Taoist who has been to the imperial capital to teach the urn. The mountain **** might sell me a lot of face."
Imperial capital, transmission, and urn.
Hearing this, the old man with little insight couldn't help but stand in awe.
"It turns out that the Master Master is here, and the old man is clumsy, so please don't blame the Taoist master."
While speaking, the old man showed joy on his face, swift hands and feet, and wiped dry tears. He pulled up the old scalper and led the Taoist, Chu Chen, and Xiaoguizi towards the entrance of the village.
Not long, a group of people entered the village.
The village seemed very quiet, and there were no pedestrians on the roadside.
If it weren’t for the barking of dogs and chickens, I’m afraid it would make people mistakenly believe that they have entered a deserted village, quiet and weird.
The old man explained: "Everyone prays and chants at home, and children should chant too."
Chu Chen was taken aback.
listened quietly, and really heard the chanting sound.
The surroundings are solemn and peaceful, as if entering a temple and Taoist temple.
Ask for recommendation and collection!
