What is a pot of gold?
In those days, cremation was not yet practiced in rural areas. After a child died, he could not be buried like an adult. He could only put the child in a pottery jar and take it to the mountain for a hasty burial.
The vicissitudes of life have changed over time. When these pottery jars emerge from the ground, the corpses inside have long been eaten away by insects and ants, leaving only some rootless water at the bottom of the jar.
However, the strange thing is that no matter how dry the weather is, the water in these pottery jars will not disappear and will always be crystal clear.
It is said that if you stand on the edge and look at the bottom of the tank, you will see a face that is different from yours.
This is the pot of gold.
The adults in the village would tell their children to stay as far away from something like this as possible.
No one can guarantee whether there will be any dirt inside.
Of course, "gold pot" is the term used in Chen Jingle's hometown. I don't know what it is called in other places.
However, as far as he knows, similar properties exist in many provinces.
In recent years, many rural hills have been contracted to private individuals to plant trees. After being plowed a few times, gold pots are no longer common. I don’t know how Brother Ji and his nephew came across it. I can only say that he is really unlucky.
Fortunately, I was lucky enough to meet Chen Jingle again.
…
"It must be something that got tangled up."
Facing Brother Ji, Chen Jingle said bluntly: "Put the camera on your calf and take another picture for me to see."
Waiting for the second photo to be sent.
Sure enough, the human face on it became more and more obvious.
Now it's certain.
Brother Ji said: "I think so. But my sister didn't believe that. She thought there was something wrong with the child's health, so she asked me to take my nephew to the affiliated hospital over there in Chuchuan for a checkup. If you get the news later, I guess I will be dead. It’s time to reach Chancheon.”
"It would be strange to be able to check it out."
Chen Jingle was speechless and said, "If you can trust me, just bring your children to Maeda Village, prepare some things, and pay homage to the Land Master, and you'll be fine."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds: "Are you sure?"
Chen Jingle said seriously: "I won't joke about this kind of thing."
The two have known each other for more than 20 years, and they know each other's personality very well, and he will not deceive each other emotionally or rationally.
"Okay, I'll take him back to Maeda Village now!"
On the other end of the phone, Brother Ji gritted his teeth and made up his mind.
At the same time, I called home and asked my family to help prepare the items for worship, so that I could go directly to Jingzhu Temple as soon as I got back.
…
Brother Ji is driving to the village in a hurry, so I won’t say anything about it for now.
It is said that after Chen Jingle chose to occupy the Jingzhu Temple in Guangling Realm, Li Xiang, a villager in Niyong Village, came to burn incense and add lamp oil.
Because the oil lamps in the temple need to be on all the time, each household usually takes turns for one month and is responsible for burning incense, adding oil and lighting the lamps in the morning and evening.
It is Li Xiang's family who is in charge of the rotation this month.
He came to Jingzhu Temple as usual.
However, it is worth noting that when he was adding lamp oil, he suddenly felt that something was wrong when he looked at the familiar statue of Lord Landlord.
"How do you feel... the Realm Lord looks so much more real?"
He was startled by his own thoughts.
Out of reverence for the gods, I didn’t dare to look more.
However, after offering the incense, he took a sneak peek and found that the appearance of the statue was indeed much more dynamic than before. Even the idols that had a lot of dust on them before are now spotless.
It seems that it was a rotten wood before, but now it has been opened to the light.
"Could it be said that the realm master has appeared?"
Li Xiang was excited.
He quickly went to the village elder's uncle's house and told him about the matter.
Although the old village chief was shocked and doubtful, he subconsciously chose to believe out of the deep reverence of rural people for ghosts and gods.
However, compared to Li Xiang, who was overjoyed, the old village chief seemed much more stable: "Don't spread this in advance. When you are doing public worship in the community in a few days, Yao Bei will ask if the Lord of the Realm has appeared. You will know then. "
Li Xiang nodded repeatedly.
After he left, the old village chief took out his hookah and fell into deep thought.
"I heard that some villages are not very peaceful during this period. If the Land Lord really appears and can keep the village safe, it might not be a bad thing. Well, let's see."
As long as he can remember, the village has been dedicated to King Guangling and has been renovated many times.
However, if you want to ask who the surname of Guangling Saint King is, probably no one in the village can answer the question. Everyone is called Jingzhuye Jingzhuye.
"It seems like we need to look through the family tree."
…
Chen Jingle had just finished cooking the noodles and was about to start cooking when Brother Ji called:
"I'll be right back."
Chen Jinngle said: "You take people to Jingzhu Temple, I will wait for you there."
"OK!"
The phone hangs up.
Chen Jingle placed the lid on the large bowl, closed the door and walked out.
When I saw Brother Chicken, he strode over with a five or six-year-old child in his arms, sweating all over his face.
Followed by the child's grandparents.
At a glance, Chen Jingle saw the child's horribly swollen leg, which seemed to have moved higher than the photo he saw during the previous phone call.
"uncle……"
"Um?"
"I don't seem to be in so much pain anymore," the child whispered.
Chen Zhenji was surprised when he heard this. He looked down and his eyes widened in shock.
What did he see?
The black things that were originally as swollen as elephant legs actually retreated from the knees to below the ankles! !
Is this...is this a miracle?
It simply overturned his cognition, and he was stunned.
After coming back to his senses, Chen Zhenji's eyes changed instantly when he looked at the Jingzhu Temple.
He, who had always been indifferent to ghosts and gods, felt a sense of awe and gratitude at this moment.
It’s hard not to accept it, the facts are right in front of you, it’s so convincing.
At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: "Fortunately, I listened to A Le's words."
Several old people behind him also noticed the changes in the child and subconsciously exclaimed. The child's grandparents even cried with joy and quickly prostrated themselves in front of the Jingzhu Temple.
…
Chen Jingle stood aside,
Seeing them putting everything on the table, praying, kowtowing, lighting incense and burning paper money, after all their work, they took out a bowl of water, dipped some ashes from the incense burner in Jingzhu Temple, mixed it, and handed it to Chen Zhenji .
"Drink for the kids."
Chen Zhenji was stunned for a moment because he didn't even notice where the other party took it out.
"Fu Shui?"
Chen Jingle waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, don't worry about it, as long as it can cure the disease, don't forget that it hasn't completely disappeared yet."
It's true that among the seventy-two earth evil techniques, there is talismanic water technique, but he doesn't know it yet.
In fact, this water was soaked by him with the realm master's divine seal, and it has a touch of divinity. Although it will disappear after a long time, it can be used to deal with a small evil aura at this moment. Too much.
Adding incense ash is just to deceive others.
Acting requires a complete performance, just to spread the faith, not shabby.
After the child drank the water, under the nervous and expectant eyes of everyone, the black swelling below the ankles subsided at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally disappeared completely.
Several old people were shocked and surprised. They knelt down and kowtowed to the statue of the Realm Master, and thanked Chen Jingle repeatedly.
Not to mention them, even Chen Zhenji, a young man who had received nine years of compulsory education and claimed to be fairly well-informed, was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say.
Half an hour ago, I was sentenced to death by the doctor in the hospital, but when I came back here, a bowl of water solved the problem.
Don’t accept it!
"But when did this guy A Le get involved in such mysterious things?"
The two grew up together and were extremely familiar with each other.
Except for the few years that Chen Jingle was in college, he had relatively little contact with them, but in the more than a year since he returned to the village, I haven't heard him talk about this topic.
I'll have to inquire more about it later.
