Judging from the outline and clothing of the statue, it is obvious that it is a young woman, carrying a long sword on her back and holding a bottle in her hand. [ ] This image is quite strange.
Lu Sheng and Su Hola grabbed a local man. The man was suddenly grabbed and felt unhappy. He glared at Su Ho and Lu Sheng. He knew they were outsiders by their clothes, so he became even more dissatisfied and unhappy.
He asked: "You two, what's the matter?"
"Excuse me, who is the statue placed at the door of every house here?" Su Ho asked.
"Hey! Who are you?" The man looked up and down at Lu Sheng and Su Ho, as if he was observing something, and said at the same time: "I'll tell you if you want me to?"
Seeing this man being so polite, Lu Sheng was about to get angry, but was stopped by Su Ho. Su Ho took out some broken silver from his sleeve and handed it to the man. Suddenly, the man's face turned 180 degrees.
A big change, "Hey, it's your noble... If you have any questions, please ask, I, Chen Ergou, have lived here for thirty years." Chen Ergou patted his chest and said with a "heroic" look on his face, and returned the money while talking.
He put it on his teeth and bit it: "Hmm... um... this money is real... there is nothing here that I, Chen Ergou, don't know about. If you have anything to say, just ask, you don't have to be polite to me... You're welcome... Haha
.”
"What kind of statue is placed at the door of each house here?" Lu Sheng asked.
"Oh, you're talking about this! That statue is said to be called Sheng Lao Mu!" Chen Ergou said.
"Sheng Lao Mu?" Lu Sheng and Su Ho both had never heard of it before. "What kind of deity is Sheng Lao Mu?"
"I heard they said that the birth mother is a living Bodhisattva, a living deity who saves the suffering." Chen Ergou seemed to have no doubts about this birth mother. He swallowed and continued: "A few months ago, something happened to me.
After a long trip, when I came back I found that every household had a birth mother. I asked around, and guess what?"
Lu Sheng and Su Ho rolled their eyes and said, "Don't be pretentious and continue talking."
"It's not a big deal if I don't ask, but I was really shocked when I asked. This old mother is really a living Bodhisattva, a living god." At this point, Chen Ergou lowered his voice, appearing extremely mysterious, "How many times?"
A few months ago, people in this town suddenly started to fall ill. It was said to be a plague. It was terrible, and many people would die! Later, the birth mother came, and as soon as the birth mother cast a spell, most of the disease was gone.
The birth mother also said that she would come back every month to apply medicine, and she has been applying medicine for three months now."
Hearing what Chen Ergou said, Lu Sheng and Su Ho felt even more strange and confused about this biological mother.
"Is this mother's medicine free of charge?" Su Ho asked again.
"It's free, no money required." Chen Ergou said.
"That's strange." Su Ho frowned, then turned to Chen Ergou and said, "You have nothing to do with me here. You should go back first!"
"Okay! I'm leaving now." Chen Ergou also knew that not leaving at this time would definitely make the two of them disgusted. After walking a few steps, he turned back and said: "I live on the west side of the town. You are welcome."
If you have any questions, just come to me and ask someone casually. Everyone knows my name, Chen Ergou.
Lu Sheng and Su Ho ignored Chen Ergou and walked straight forward. They came to a temple somewhere in the town. Above the temple door was a huge gilt plaque with three golden characters "生 Temple".
.
The temple was obviously newly built, with bright red paint. The flow of people coming in and out never stopped, and those who passed by Lu Sheng and Su Ho kept praising their birth mother.
"Sheng Lao Mu, Sheng Lao Mu, these names are full of evil spirits!" Su Ho said and walked into the temple with Lu Sheng.
At this time, a voice came, "No, no, what the girl said is wrong."
"Oh?" Su Ho looked around and saw a man wearing a Taoist uniform and a Taoist hat walking forward.
The man brushed his sleeves and muttered: "The Tao is life, but there is life, and the mother of life bless the world. You two must not take the essence from the name."
"Who are you?" Lu Sheng asked.
"The way I dress, you two should know that I am the temple blessing of this temple. But the clothes and accents of my two guests make them look like foreigners." The people who claimed to be temple blessings, Lu Sheng and Su Ho, said.
Lu Sheng and Su Ho nodded.
"The birth mother has been blessed by the world. Everyone in the area of 300 miles around here firmly believes in this. How about you two also put incense sticks in this temple to pray for the birth mother's favor?" Temple Zhu suggested.
"How much does it cost to burn incense?" Lu Sheng asked again.
"Each person only needs a few taels. Our clothes and temperament must be the mainstream of nobles, and we won't care about these few taels of silver." Miao Zhu said.
Naturally, Lu Sheng and Su Ho didn't care about the four taels of silver, but this shocked Lu Sheng. Ordinary temples require so much money for incense, usually only a few dollars are enough, but this Shengmiao unexpectedly
If it costs two taels, can these incense-burning believers afford it?
Lu Sheng and Su Ho didn't say anything more. They sent four taels of silver, burned incense, and left the birth temple.
At this moment, the temple priest who had been talking to Lu Sheng and the two at first rushed over and said: "Since the two guests have come to offer incense, they naturally want to take the peace medicine. By boiling it into peace soup, you can be safe."
Peace." Miao Zhu said as he clapped his hands and handed the two medicine packets to Lu Sheng's hands.
Lu Sheng didn't care, he casually put the peace medicine into the five elements bag, and walked out with Su Ho.
"Within a radius of three hundred miles, every household believes in the Mother of Life, and every month they go to the Temple of Life to burn incense and pray for the family's safety. The income from the Temple of Life is really not small!" Su Ho said.
Lu Sheng nodded and said: "There must be something fishy about this, but since this old mother can cure people's diseases, it is a good thing. Let's not mind this business and go directly to Tianshan."
"Yeah." Su Ho nodded.
The two of them rode horses towards the Tianshan Mountains in the northwest. After a while, they suddenly found that the road ahead was blocked by many people. The crowd seemed to be watching something, and sounds of gloating continued to be heard during the period.
Lu Sheng and Su Ho had to stop their horses and dismounted. Lu Sheng patted the shoulder of the man in front of him and asked, "Brother, what happened?"
"Chen Ergou is about to die. Who told him that he doesn't believe in his mother?" The man kept talking and replied without looking back.
"What?" Lu Sheng and Su Ho were both shocked. Chen Ergou was still alive just now. Why is he now... The two hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and saw Chen Ergou lying on the ground, rolling left and right.
He was in unbearable pain, and everyone around him was watching, but everyone stepped forward to help the two dogs up.
Lu Sheng walked to Chen Ergou's side, squatted down, picked up Chen Ergou's wrist and took Chen Ergou's pulse.
This move caused the people around him to turn pale with shock. Some of them shouted: "Let him go! He doesn't believe in his mother, so he has been punished. It's a disaster! Let him go!"
Lu Sheng ignored the various voices of the crowd and thought carefully about Chen Ergou's pulse. He was suddenly startled, and a light flashed through his mind, and he said: "This is obviously a sign of poison!"
After saying that, Lu Sheng took out a pill from the Five Elements Bag and stuffed it into Chen Ergou's mouth.
Ever since I got the Five Elements Bag, it has become much more convenient. All the things that I originally had to carry in my carry-on bags can be put into the Five Elements Bag. Su Ho was also very surprised to know that Lu Sheng got such a treasure, and he was all at home.
I brought a lot of things with me, including Dieda pills, external trauma ointment, three-day detoxification pills, beef jerky, fire starter, etc. I brought a lot of miscellaneous small things.
The pill that Lu Sheng took out was the Three-day Jiedu Pill, which can detoxify hundreds of poisons in the body within three days. It can be regarded as a precious antidote. Then Chen Ergou swallowed the Three-day Jiedu Pill. After a while,
He no longer writhed in pain, but just panted violently, obviously because the strength just now had not passed.
After a while, Chen Ergou finally regained his breath. Lu Sheng said with difficulty, "Thank you... Thank you so much, sir."
"No need." Lu Sheng helped Chen Ergou up and asked, "Ergou, you were fine an hour ago, why did you become like this just now?"
