Chapter 30 Temple Fair
I wanted to refuse, but he directly grabbed my other hand and put it in it.
He chuckled and warned gently: "Go back quickly, the light will go out if you don't leave."
When I lowered my head and looked at the ever-burning lamp, I was immediately frightened. The wick was getting weaker and weaker. It was obvious that the time was coming. Once the time passed, there would be nothing left to do.
Ignoring the pain all over my body, I looked around and walked back quickly while protecting the lamp.
When we arrived at the door of the house, everything was as usual. Chu Yuan was still waiting, looking anxious. I handed him the ever-burning lamp and then said, "The soul has been found. Now we need to let my aunt's soul return to her body."
I didn't dare to delay, so I hurriedly prepared a bowl, a bowl of water and a pair of chopsticks.
I burned paper money on the bedside of my room and placed the ever-burning lamp on the bedside.
This is my first time to attract souls, and I feel extremely nervous.
I picked up the chopsticks and glanced at Chu Yuan. He nodded slightly to me. I took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
Then I used chopsticks to gently stir the water in the bowl, while muttering: "The remaining soul leaves the body, the three souls return, the seven souls are completed, all the spirits return to their places, the spirit enters the body, and everything rejuvenates!"
I muttered nervously, let go of my hand, but the pair of chopsticks stood firmly in the center of the bowl, and then splashed the water on my aunt's face with the water in the bowl, and shouted her name in a low voice.
I glanced at it and saw that the ever-burning lamp on the side turned from green to yellow, and a vague shadow floated over, covering my aunt's body.
"Return to the spirit!"
I yelled in a low voice, and my aunt suddenly trembled all over, and the snake scales on both sides of her cheeks immediately fell off automatically.
At the same time, the chopsticks standing in the bowl fell to the ground with a clatter.
I opened my eyes wide suddenly, as if I had exhausted all my strength, I felt like I was about to fall down as soon as my body went limp. The next moment, a hand firmly grasped my waist.
I looked at Chu Yuan with gratitude.
"Why don't you wake up?"
I supported Chu Yuan and glanced weakly at my aunt lying on the bed.
Chu Yuan said: "She is fine, but her soul has returned to her body and has not returned to the sun yet."
After hearing this, my heart slowly dropped, but for me, he said that I needed a good rest.
When I went back to my room and lay down, Chu Yuan turned into a black shadow and got into the snake bracelet, and whispered: "The Liu family is building a snake temple. According to the rules of the snake temple, there should be a temple fair in the next two days. It is inconvenient for me to show my prominence. You let that old Taoist do it?"
Open your ghost eyes and take a look at the Liu family."
I said with doubts, "Why are you so concerned about the Liu family's affairs?"
Chu Yuan said with a slightly cold voice: "Maybe the Liu family is here for me."
I am even more confused. The Liu family and Chu Yuan should be incompatible with each other, and they should have never met. Why would Chu Yuan say this?
However, the Liu family worships snake spirits, and Chu Yuan is also a snake spirit. Maybe there is some connection there.
The current Chu Yuan is different from the past. It is inconvenient for him to reveal his true identity, maybe because he is afraid of disturbing others.
When I woke up and went out the next day, I saw my aunt had already gotten up, and she was sitting at the door of the main room in a daze.
I asked her if she still remembered what happened last night. My aunt shook her head and said a little confusedly that she had a dream last night.
She dreamed that a snake entered her room, and she didn't know what to do next. When she woke up, it was dawn, but she was exhausted and particularly groggy.
This is the phenomenon of physical weakness after the soul returns.
When I went out, I saw that all the snakes on the village road had disappeared. The villagers were noisily talking about it again.
During breakfast, my aunt said with admiration: "Old Mrs. Liu is really capable. She said that as long as we build a snake temple, the snakes in our village will leave on their own. But as soon as the temple was built, all the snakes really came in."
Damn it, this thing is really mysterious, it seems like the snake fairy has really appeared."
It can be seen that my aunt admires Old Mrs. Liu very much. Don't talk about her. What is discussed in the village is what the old lady said yesterday.
But I have a knot in my heart. I always feel that this is not a good thing.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, my aunt said again: "By the way, I heard that I am going to the Snake Temple for a temple fair at noon. People in the village are going to burn incense and pray for the blessings of the snake fairy. When the time comes, you can also burn incense sticks and dip your hands in it."
The fairy spirit of the Snake Fairy!"
As soon as I heard that the temple fair was going to be held, I immediately remembered what Chu Yuan said to me.
"I'm full!" I put down the bowls and chopsticks, stood up and prepared to go out: "Girl, I have something to do and I will go directly to the Snake Temple later."
When my aunt saw my reaction, she was a little puzzled and muttered something.
When we arrived at the place where Zhang Xianren lived, he was still playing with flowers and plants under the eaves when he entered the courtyard gate.
"Daozhang Zhang!" I shouted.
Zhang Xianren glanced at me suddenly, turned around and walked into the main room.
I quickly caught up and said, "Daozhang Zhang, I came here to see you for something."
Zhang Xianren puffed his beard and glared: "What's the matter with you? Why don't you go to your snake man?"
I bit the bullet and said, "It's the Liu family's business!"
"Okay!" Zhang Xianren stopped me at the door and interrupted me: "You can't enter the house. If you have anything to say, say it outside the door."
I wanted to test my tone first, so I tentatively said, "Don't you think it's strange that the Liu family is setting up a snake temple in the village at this time?"
Zhang Xianren smiled: "We have driven away the snake disaster in the village, built roads and built temples. This is a good thing!"
"Don't you think it's strange?"
Zhang Xianren rolled his eyes at me: "If you have anything to say, you can just say it!"
"Uh..." I coughed dryly and said in a low voice, "I suspect that the snake disaster in our village was caused by the Liu family."
Zhang Xianren's eyes looked a little strange.
"The one the Liu family offers is a snake fairy! If you have the ability to drive snakes away, you will naturally have the ability to control snakes."
I told Zhang Xianren that when Mrs. Ma came to the door two days ago when she was possessed by a snake, the snake's eyes were completely black, as if it was being manipulated.
I continued: "Of course, this is just a guess! You can open the ghost eyes and wait until there is a temple fair to see and you will know."
Zhang Xianren, like a good person, asked with a smile but not a smile: "Is this what you, the snake man, mean?"
My face turned red, and I could only nod my head with embarrassment.
At noon, because Old Lady Liu held a vegetarian banquet, the villagers all ate in the courtyard of the ruined temple on the back hill.
The ruined temple has just been renovated. The so-called temple fair is just a temple erection ceremony.
There was an incense burner as tall as a person placed in the temple, and all the villagers lined up to burn incense.
In the past two days, the village was full of various venomous snakes. The Liu family promised in front of the villagers that once the snake temple is established, the snakes will leave.
Now that what she said has come true, some doubting voices in the village have become convinced.
Therefore, no one objected to the construction of a snake temple in the village.
They even thought that Old Lady Liu had a Bodhisattva heart, and some of them also reflected on themselves because they offended the village and angered the Snake Fairy.
The Snake Temple is being built now because of the great compassion of Old Lady Liu, so that the villagers can wash away their sins.
