Flower Demon’s Inn

In the ten years of Tianqing, Dongcheng has opened a royal road and it is a business road. At that moment, the streets are lined with spring, the shops are blooming, and the land is full of gold. The wind and rain bridge was also erected at that time.

Wherever there are people in the wild, there are people who pile a few stones and light incense. They are treated as gods, but they are just peace for mortals. When the rain bridge was built, there was a small pile of stones that could not be built with high calves, and there were some incense in front of it. The Taoist came to see it and said it was the landlord, so keep it. So the stone was piled up into a half-height temple, and it was enshrined as public land.

Who would have thought that the landlord, under the influence of mortal incense, gradually became conscious and became a non-immortal and non-demon spirit. His daily fun is to watch mortals, monsters and monsters passing by the bridge, and occasionally people jump on the bridge, or scold on the bridge, all kinds of things.

In the early morning of this day, when he was sleeping, the nose suddenly smelled of fireworks, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a girl kneeling in front of it, burning a few pillars of incense, and whispering softly, "Bless Saburo to be the champion, and bless Saburo to be No. 1 winner. "

I read it several times in a row before leaving. He yawned and continued to sleep. Although he can help others, he only helps people find the degree of kittens and puppies, so it is useless to make a wish.

The next morning, the girl came again.

It lasted for a month, and when he was almost used to that girl coming on time every day, he never saw her again. After another five or six days, I finally saw her appearing, and was happy, but did not see her holding a scented candle in her hand, walked to the bridge with a stern look, stepped on the stone railing, jumped forward, and jumped in a rush.

He was startled, hesitated for a moment, and immediately rescued her. If she is really included in the life and death book, he will be useless to save. So he saved her from disturbing the underworld and was not afraid to be held accountable by ghosts.

He stood by and looked at the girl. He looked so pretty. He paused, thinking of her wish this month. Didn't the man named Saburo fail the exam?

The girl woke up in a coma and met him, waking up and sitting up. He smiled: "I passed by and saw you jump in the river, and I saved you."

She paused and cried her face, "Why save me ... let me die."

He frowned: "It's not like there is a saying in the world that it is better to live than to die. If there is anything to make you look for life, let's talk about it, maybe I can help you."

The girl stopped crying and choked, "I was the daughter of a small family in Hanmen, and I was in love with the neighbor Lang Qingmei Zhuma. Later, my father made a lot of money in business, and he was not allowed to deal with him, but he also gave me to others. Dad said, if Saburo can pass the first prize, he agrees to our marriage. But Saburo didn't pass the test. Dad found me the day before and married later. Saburo learned that he could not afford the illness and wandered around the ghost gate. I think If so, I don't want to live any longer. "

He sighed: "So it's just ... it's a pity to die like this."

The girl chuckled, helpless: "But what can I do ..."

He was silent, this kind of thing that affects human marriage ... He couldn't change it, and said for a long time, "I can't help you, sorry, girl."

The girl smiled and comforted him: "It has nothing to do with you, so don't blame yourself."

After speaking, slowly got up, leaving lonely. He looked at the girl and suddenly felt that he was useless. He couldn't control things about life and death, and he couldn't control matters about marriage. He didn't dare to inquire about the girl. He was afraid to learn about the follow-up. For example, the girl died, Saburo died, or she had a bad life ... I always felt that I had failed her for thirty-two consecutive days. adhere to.

After a long time, a tea shed was set up next to it, and many people were idle. Somehow I talked about a girl from a big family. The speaker sighed, "The girl from the Lin family grows up well and has a good temper. Why did she marry that unscrupulous son of the Qi family and have everything to eat, drink, and gamble? It's such a blind girl.

One asked, "Don't you say you didn't want to marry?"

"It was said that her mother had forced her to die, and the girl married. The Qi Family did not know where she heard that the Lin family had a good old friend. She was very bad to her, and later ... well, that girl was crazy."

He was stunned, crazy, crazy?

"I heard that there really is a love man, went to Kao Ke to name Sun Shan, and later died of illness at home. It's a pity that they broke the good road for two people alive."

The more he listened, the less it tasted. If he had shot it, it would have been better ... but even then, there is no way to change it.

Ugh.

He tried his best to make himself forget it, and then he really forgot about it, after all, such a long time. It's just that he's not a fairy or a ghost, and he will grow older. After a long time, I am already a middle-aged person.

I was humming a song in the temple that day, and suddenly I smelled a smell. When I looked at the probe, I saw a six- or seven-year-old boy walking towards his little temple! He was furious and raised his palms to blow the wind. Someone came over and said, "Children, this land is very convincing. You cannot offend."

The boy closed his pants and asked, "Really smart?"

The man said, "That's right. It's famous from afar."

"Can anything be achieved?"

The man sneered and made fun of him: "Uh-huh, remember to bring a candle."

He listened with pride and blushing, when did he become such a powerful landlord.

In the afternoon, the boy came again. I took a few broken and dirty incense candles from my pocket and lit them with fire notes for a long time. Then I worshiped in front of him: "Let my mother get better soon."

He looked at the dirty thing in front of the house in disgust, patted it with his hands, and fanned it. But after a while he picked it up and seriously inserted it: "Let my mother get better soon."

He leaned back and leaned there, yawned, and when he was gone, he sniffed. The incense was picked from another temple. Can't you be serious about asking for a wish.

For a few days, the boy would bring this kind of dirty incense candle, after the worship just said "let my mother get better soon". Even the people next to him laughed at him. "Have your mother got better?"

Today, this business road is not as lively as before, and there are fewer people walking. Naturally, there are fewer incenses in front of the door. He occasionally misses the days when the incense was full of flourishes, and he eats very full. But even now he can't tolerate boys bringing that inferiority!

At midnight that day, in the dream, someone slaps him suddenly. He woke up and saw that the boy took the brick and smashed it on his own face. There was a crackling sound. He took his little hand: "Why don't you bless my mother, aren't you very spiritual? Why do you bless them, just don't help my mother."

He was about to beat him, but the boy cried, covering his face: "Return my mother ... Give me back my mother ..."

The cry was so desolate that he didn't feel any good when he heard it. He put his hands away, forget it, and didn't care about him. Turn around and go home, but think about it, is there anything hidden about him? Hesitating for a moment, it's nothing more, he is just a little person, and in a few decades, he will die old and help others.

Want to stop, go back.

A few days later, the tea shed that had been around for more than 20 years suddenly dismantled. He looked at the flag with the word "Tea" written on it, and suddenly remembered it when it was first opened. The front foot is attached to the rear foot. Somehow, I thought of the girl from the Lin family ...

Once upon a time, there was also such a devout man to incense. It seems no different from the boy's. The only difference is that one uses good incense and one uses inferior incense. But no matter what, he didn't help. He thought about it for a long time, and finally found the boy's breath and flew towards it.

Even if he can't help, he can rest assured.

Finding that place, it's not ... it's not a house. Tattered everywhere, pushed the door, and collapsed immediately. Chen Chen went in, not even a table inside. After searching back and forth, I found the clumped boy in the corner, already thin and shaky, holding his arm, and it could be removed almost immediately.

The boy's eyes narrowed, he looked at him for a while, and suddenly grinned, "Dad, you are finally back ..."

He froze, and the boy said, "But the mother is dead ... why are you here now?"

The word came down, and Douda's tears rolled down from the thin eyes. Tears were like lava, and he was trembling all over. He hugged him subconsciously and said, "Dad is back, don't be afraid."

"Well……"

Only in an instant, he heard joy and satisfaction in this voice. Just saying this, is he so happy? Looking at the dilapidated wall, he suddenly understood why the boy always came with those inferior incense, because he couldn't afford it ...

"Don't be afraid, Dad will take you to buy delicious food."

"delicious……"

He picked up his thin body, and just stepped out of the door, a strong beam of light stabbed him, and he stopped suddenly. He held his head down and looked at him, already ... will not move anymore.

The inexplicable sorrow came, and he thought of the Lin family again ...

These were not his faults, but he seemed to ... can save something. But he did nothing and watched them go dead.

Returning to the small temple without thinking, the pillars stained with dirty muddy water are still there, and he remembered the words of the boy, the words of the Lin family, they trusted themselves and made a wish to themselves ... but he had nothing Do not even have half pity. He stared at the residual incense, picked it up, smelled the misty fragrance, and suddenly felt that, in fact, these incenses were the best, no other incense candle could be compared. But why didn't he find out earlier ...

After a long, long time, one day, an old woman went off the road and went into this desolate place. When she saw a small temple in the shape of a ruin, she worshiped in front: "My evil daughter-in-law drove me out The house is here, please beg the landlord to make her treat me better. "

For a moment, I saw a cloud of smoke rising from the temple and wrapped her in it, and then an old voice in my ear said, "If you wish, let's dream ..."

The old woman looked up and saw that she was at the door of her house, her son and daughter-in-law were smiling at her and called out, "Mother, the meal is ready, let's go home."

She froze, hesitating, and was suddenly pushed by someone, stepping into the mist, her voice remained murky: "Let's go to dream. A
