After asking, it turned out to be the temple I saw last night!

"Eat slowly, I'll go over and burn a few incense sticks for the Fox Fairy." The boss nodded at us with a smile, turned around and walked out of the restaurant.

"Niu Niu, let's go to the temple fair to play, too." Xiao Tutu said, "I also want to burn a few incense sticks for the Fox Fairy."

"Why burn incense for the Great Fairy of Fox?" I took the conversation and smiled, "Let the Great Fairy of Fox bless you to chase Afeng as soon as possible? Oops, hit me again..."

"Niu Niu is good at beating." Xiaotu pouted at me.

"Miss Xin, are you going?" Wei Niu Niu asked.

Miss Bai thought for a while and nodded.

"Then let's go together." Wei Niu Niu said.

"Xiao Hei and the fox are together, I don't know how it is now..." Miss Bai whispered.

After Miss Bai mentioned this, I remembered the fox we rescued in Gaojia Village.

"Afeng, let's just go to the temple fair first, lit incense for the Great Fox Fairy before going to find Uncle Yang." I thought to myself, maybe the Great Fox Fairy can bless us to find Uncle Yang as soon as possible.

Xiang Feng thought for a while and said, "You can do whatever you say."

A group of five of us left the farmhouse restaurant and met many villagers who were attending temple fairs along the way. When we arrived at the Fox Fairy Temple, we saw many people outside, with smoke hanging over the temple courtyard. There were stalls on the open space outside the temple, including those selling antiques, calligraphy and paintings, some selling incense, candles, candy, tea, candy, candy, haws, various local specialties, etc. It was simply a market. In addition, there were also magicians, juggling, sanxian, and monkeys... It was dazzling, and all kinds of sounds were filled with ears.

Infected by this lively scene, each of us was very excited. After I bought a handful of incense and distributed it to everyone, we walked towards the temple.

Compared to the bustling outside, the temple seemed a little deserted. We followed everyone and came to the largest temple house in the north. This room was offering the Great Fox Fairy. In the middle is a statue with a fox head and a human body, wearing a woman's clothes. The table in front of the statue was filled with fruit offerings. There were two little foxes squatting beside the statue, and there were also several boys and girls, some holding trays, and some carrying clay lanterns.

Perhaps because of the age of age, the beams and pillars of the temple house were black and covered with cracks. Based on the principle of women's priority, it was my turn and Xiangfeng after worshiping. After worshiping Xiangfeng, I walked up and bowed three times to the statue. Looking up, the "fox head" narrowed its two small eyes, as if looking at me, and it felt like I was alive.

"Let's go, don't be dazed."

Miss Bai walked over and patted me gently on my shoulder, which scared me.

"What's wrong?" Miss Bai asked in confusion.

I pointed to the statue and whispered, "Do you feel that the fox we saved in Gaojia Village looks very similar to the fox in this statue?"

"It looks very similar?" Miss Bai looked up at the fox, pinched me gently, and said, "Follower, don't foxes all look like this?"

"But…"

"Okay, don't be fox, fox, you're disrespectful to the gods, and you're leaving."

"Master Leng, why have you been worshipping for so long? I think it's because you want the Fox Fairy to bless you to get to Xiaobai as soon as possible."

When I came outside, Xiaotutu said, "I made a face at her."

"Let's go, let's go to this house to worship again." Wei Niu Niu said, pointing to a temple house to the west.

This fox fairy temple is not only worshipped, but also in the temple house to the west, the landlord is a fat and silly person. The temple house to the east is a judge. The temple house to the south is a fairy with green face and fangs, holding a fish in his hand. Suddenly, at first, I thought it was the God of Wealth, but when I looked closely, there was a big clay turtle under the feet of the statue.

"This should be the river god." Xiang Feng said.

Looking at the statue of the god in front of me, I thought to myself, is the thing in the reservoir yours? Xiao Leng burns you a few more incense sticks, please take your roe and fish grandchildren back to the Yellow River...

After a round of worship, there were already many more people in the temple than before.

"Then the three of us will go play." Wei Niu Niu said after coming out of the temple house.

"Yeah." I nodded.

"Be careful when you and Afeng go to find Uncle Yang." Miss Bai reminded again.

Xiao Tutu looked at Xiang Feng reluctantly, and his lips moved a few times, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it, sighed and followed the two of them outside.

"Xiaotutu is good to you, why do you always ignore others?" I smiled.

Xiang Feng shook his head and stared at the roof of the temple house opposite in a daze.

"Let's go and find Uncle Yang." I waved.

We came back to the wind. As soon as we walked towards the temple gate, we heard a loud sound coming from outside.

"Let's make it... let it go..."

Everyone moved aside, and more than a dozen people walked in with paper men and other paper objects in their hands. The owner of the funeral supplies store was followed by the end.

"Yes, just put it there..."

The boss directed the people to place the paper objects neatly in the corner of the yard. I walked up to him and patted him on his shoulder.

"Fuck, which bastard..."

The boss was shocked. Maybe he forgot to be in the temple, so he cursed. After seeing that it was me, he forced himself to hold back the next half of the sentence.

"Leng, Master Leng? Why did you come here?..."

"Come on incense." I said with a smile.

After a greeting, the boss insisted on pulling me and Xiangfeng out for dinner. I pushed us and said we had eaten. The boss said we would go out to drink something. The fish I ate at the farmhouse was a bit salty, and I was just thirsty. I thought to myself, I could drink something and then go to Uncle Yang before, and I could just ask the boss about this temple. I always felt that the statue of the fox fairy was strange.

The boss took us to a stall outside the temple, ordered a fried snail, and ordered three bottles of beer.

"How is it, are you doing now?" I asked after eating a few snails and drinking a glass of beer.

"Okay, it's okay, thanks to Master Leng..."

"Nothing." I smiled slightly, "I remember next time, don't let my sister-in-law go to the reservoir again."

The boss nodded repeatedly.

"I've been making trouble for a long time. The paper people I saw in your store yesterday were all built in this temple." I said.

"Isn't that..."

The boss told me that every year during temple fairs, the town would pay to order a lot of paper-made items in his store. After the temple fairs ended, the paper-made items would be burned in the temple courtyard and sacrificed to the fox fairy.

I nodded, "Brother, ask you something."

"Even if you open your mouth."

"Actually nothing." I smiled, "I think it's quite strange. By the way, wasn't your Qingshi Town a ferry on the Yellow River before?"

"Yeah." The boss nodded.

"Since it is the Yellow River Ferry, then the river god should be placed in the big house. Why did the fox and immortal be placed in the big house? Instead, the river god be placed in the small house on the south side?"

The boss told me that he was an outsider and moved to this town in the 1990s. He also heard about this temple. The boss told us a legend he heard. It is said that in ancient times, the river gods caused chaos, which led to the flooding of the Yellow River for years. Later, when Dayu controlled the flood, he suppressed the river god in the river channel in Qingshi Town and sent a nine-tailed fox to guard the river god. It is strange that in history, no matter how big the water in the Yellow River during the flood season, Qingshi Town has never been flooded. People say that it was because of the blessing of the fox fairy, so a fox fairy temple was built. The fox fairy was worshipped in the temple house in the north and the river god in the south. In this way, if the fox fairy guards the river god, it will never cause trouble...

(After hearing this, I thought to myself that the north is the Kan position, the five elements belong to water, the south is the Li position, the five elements belong to fire, and water overcomes fire. If the fox fairy offered in the temple is used to suppress the river god, it makes sense to analyze from the five elements of birth and restraint)

For thousands of years, the incense of this Fox Fairy Temple has never stopped. There have been various legends about fox fairy circulating in Qingshi Town. It is said that Pu Songling once visited Qingshi Town and included several legends about fox fairy in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio"...

In the early days of the founding of New China, the incense of the Fox Fairy Temple was finally broken because of the feudal superstition. The temple courtyard was covered with weeds and was covered with mess. Later, the Cultural Revolution destroyed the four old days, and the statues of the temple were destroyed by the Red Guards and threw them into the Yellow River. On this day, in order to express their firm revolutionary stance of proletarian atheism, several radical people ran to the Fox Fairy Temple to pee and found a dead fox lying in the temple house. Some of them did not know what they thought, dragged the dead fox into the temple courtyard and criticized and buried it under a tree. After a few days, the few people were all dead, as if they were scared to death by something.

The people in the town were panicked and thought that the dead fox might be a fox fairy. Because the statue was destroyed, they were so angry that they were so angry (the imagination of the townspeople is really unobstructed). For a time, many people ignored the pressure of policies and ran to the place where the fox was buried to burn incense and worship, but nothing happened. After the reform and opening up, the town paid for the rebuilding of the fox fairy temple. The person in charge had a sudden idea and dug out the head of the dead fox from under the tree and shaped it on the body of the fox fairy statue...

"You mean, the head of the fox fairy statue is a real fox head?" I asked.

"Well, the real fox head." said the boss.

I thought to myself, no wonder I think the fox head is weird.

Just as I was thinking, suddenly, a familiar figure walked over to our table. I looked carefully and found that it was the tall father Gao Laosan. The old man walked into the fox fairy temple with a roll of straw paper, hunched his back, and staggered into the fox fairy temple.

I couldn't stop talking for a while. It was indeed the third son of Gao. I read that right, but why did he run here from the other side of the Yellow River?
