The whole sect is reborn
Chapter 313 meat and bones
The days passed slowly and leisurely. One day, one of the old men picked up a baby girl at the edge of the forest. The child's wrapping was tattered, but it was clean, and there was a piece of dry and hard cake stuffed in her arms.
"Wow, wow wow-"
The child is too young, and it seems that he is not yet a full month old. At this time, he can only cry with his mouth open and his voice is small, like a newborn cat.
He was crying and smashing his mouth. He looked very hungry and even more aggrieved.
"Hey, which family's child is this that you brought back?"
When they lived here, the five old people had already numbered themselves according to their age, and they no longer used their previous names. Since they were abandoned people, there was no need to use their previous names.
At this time, the third child who had picked it up sighed, the pipe in his hand clicked, and his wrinkled face was full of sorrow.
"I'm worried too. I picked it up on the edge of the forest in the morning, and if I went there a little later, it would be taken away by a wolf and eaten."
There were many scars on the third child's body, and they were still bloody. They should have been injured when he was fighting with the wolf before. For such an old man, he was still alive after fighting with the wolf, and he seemed to have won. It was really amazing.
Lao San used to be a hunter. Most of the five immortals can survive here thanks to Lao San's teachings. Among them, Lao Wu, who has some superficial medical skills, quickly pulled Lao San to apply medicine, while the others looked sad.
"So this is, being thrown away by your own parents?"
The third child nodded with a slumped face.
"It should be. I waited there for a whole day, but no one came. There was a dry cake in the child's arms, and there were a few tooth marks on it. It was probably left by his parents."
"This, what is this?"
Several of them are old and soft-hearted. This child, who was not sick or in trouble, was abandoned by his parents. Who can I ask to explain this?
But when I remembered that the world outside was so chaotic that there was no way for people to survive, I could only sigh secretly and stop thinking about it.
"What about this child?"
"Keep it up. How many mouthfuls of food can a little kid eat? If we have one mouthful to eat, there will always be a mouthful for her. How many days can we feed her?"
No one had any objections, so this longevity village with only five people had one more member. With only five dry old people, it was hard to live a life like this. With such a crying and laughing child, it was
A feeling of living a good life.
Probably because life was really difficult, in the following time, the villagers of Changshou Village picked up many abandoned babies one after another, some big and small, and the people in the village raised them together. Gradually, the village became lively.
.
Originally, the five old people were worried that the children would die before they were brought up to adulthood, but they did not expect that, perhaps in keeping with the name of the village, the five of them actually lived a long life.
They kept stumbling until they raised the oldest group of children to adults, got married and had children, and they are still alive. Everyone said that it was because of the sacred tree in the center of the village that allowed them to survive these years. Over time, this sacred tree became
This is the place of faith in their village. Both men, women and children will place offerings under the tree and pray to it.
In fact, they have not seen the divine tree appear with their own eyes over the years, but with this protective formation that can protect the village, everyone in Changshou Village is full of hope. Because they know that this is caused by the divine tree's love for them.
.
"So, you have never seen the sacred tree appear?"
Second Grandpa came back to his senses from the memories and shook his head.
"It is said that the original old man of Changshou Village once saw a handsome young man covered in snow-white standing on a tree, but before they could say a few words, the young man disappeared."
It was a very ordinary morning. The eldest among the five old men was already very old and not very clear-headed. He was sitting under the sacred tree in a daze when he suddenly smelled a refreshing fragrance.
When I looked up, I saw a handsome young man covered in snow-white standing barefoot on a branch.
He was really a handsome young man. Although his hair, eyebrows, eyelashes and even his pupils were all snow-white, it didn't make people feel weird. He only felt a sense of divine nobility. At this moment, the young man lowered his head to look.
That old man was like a god in the ninth heaven who lowered his head and glanced at his followers in the human world casually. There was no emotion, but it unexpectedly shocked the believers.
The eldest man was startled, but after all he had seen a lot of things, he quickly came to his senses and tried to talk to the young man who was like a god.
"Dare I ask, are you..."
At this time, the old man glanced at the branch where the young man was standing, and suddenly had a bold guess in his heart.
"Could it be that you are a sacred tree?"
The young man said nothing, but looked at him one more time.
The old man knelt down directly and continued to speak hard.
"The sacred tree is up there, can you tell me your name so that I can build a golden body for you..."
The sacred tree seemed to be annoyed by his nagging, and in the end he only uttered three words.
"Meat and white bones."
The voice was ethereal, as if it was coming from the sky, and it always felt unreal. The old man quickly took the opportunity to continue his confession.
"Before, we, the common people, were forced to build villages around the sacred tree due to livelihood constraints. Please, the sacred tree, please don't blame us. We are willing to offer incense every day..."
"It doesn't matter."
After leaving these two words behind, the snow-white young man turned into a point of light and disappeared. When the old man got up and wanted to look for it, he found that he could not find it.
When I told the other old guys about it, although they were shocked, they all believed it. Because the old man himself was not the type to panic, and in addition, the sacred tree had a spirit, which had to be said to give them more spiritual sustenance.
.
Since then, people in Changshou Village have worshiped the sacred tree carefully and even used complex dyeing techniques to tear strips of cloth and hang them on the branches of the sacred tree. Over the years, the sacred tree has gradually become like this.
.
"That's all I know about the sacred tree."
"The sacred tree has spirit. It doesn't mind us mortals building villages around it, having children, and reproducing. It even doesn't hesitate to protect people like us who have nothing to do with it! We people in Changshou Village are only grateful."
The second grandfather sighed and glanced at it with nostalgia. From this angle, he could only see a pointed sacred tree, as if he was looking at his lifelong belief. The red silk hanging on the tree moved with the breeze.
Swinging slightly, like dazzling red hearts. It is the sincerity of the people of Changshou Village, condensed with sincerity and enthusiasm for three hundred years.
For a moment, no one spoke at all.
