1116 Zha Dalang

This is the story of the old teacher.

He is from Henan. He left his hometown and went to the Northeast in the early Republic of China. That day, he passed Shanhaiguan and walked to a village. It was already late. He knew how to do martial arts and didn't care. He saw a small temple in the distance and wanted to go there to endure the pain.

Forget it for one night.

As he was walking towards the small temple, he was seen by an old farmer. He immediately stopped him. He told him where he came from, and the uncle invited him to his home.

The teacher thanked him and followed the uncle back to the village. The village was small, with only a few families. Outsiders came and everyone came to see it. The teacher casually asked: What kind of gods are worshiped in the temple? The expressions of the people in the village were very strange.

The teacher originally wanted to get up and leave the next day, but a villager fell ill the next day. He knew medical skills, so he naturally stayed to treat illnesses and save people. In the past few days, he found out more about the small temple.

The temple is dedicated to the god Dalang. A few decades ago, a villager suddenly took possession of his body and wanted to build a temple to worship him. The villagers didn't care at first, but then several young men died violently in the village, and everyone became frightened.

The temple was built. In the past few decades, whole pigs, cows, sheep, and other small tributes have been worshiped during the three major festivals every year. It has been peaceful. Dalang God does not have any other taboos, that is, no one is allowed to enter the temple.

When he had something to do, he would entrust the villagers with dreams. Then he was not afraid that someone would use his name to ruin his reputation? He was not afraid. There was once a villager who falsely preached an imperial edict and died that night.

The teacher didn't say anything after hearing this. He just said, since it's August 15th, can I see how you can submit the confession? The villagers said yes, and casually gave the teacher a few more instructions. The teacher agreed one by one.

On August 15th, the teacher also followed the villagers and knelt down outside the temple. At night, he sneaked around to the temple door and heard a scratching sound inside. After listening for a while, the teacher felt that the sound was quite normal.

, it seems that Dalang Shen did not notice anyone outside the temple. The teacher rushed in and saw something lying on the altar table. He nailed the thing to the altar table with a dagger.

At this time, the teacher saw clearly through the moonlight, a big hedgehog, nodding towards the teacher, as if kowtowing to beg for mercy. The teacher pointed at it and said, it's okay for you to cheat for some food and drink, but you have killed a few people, so you can't be spared.

After saying that, he raised his saber and cut it into two pieces.
