Vivi used to work in a small town in Hebei for some reasons (I won't go into details). To tell the truth, it was boring at that time. Because strangers, every day except work is sleeping.
After living there for a while, I became familiar with the local neighbors and friends I met there. Once I chatted with my friend and talked about the place to play. My friend mentioned a fish pond.
There is a legend about this fish pond: it is said that this fish pond used to be called turtle pond, and the water in the pond has never dried up for so many years all year round. Before there were faucets, women in those towns would go to the pond to wash clothes. Once a woman washing clothes accidentally found a turtle in a pond, and later the news spread quickly in this humble town. At that time, many people went there to catch turtles. Strangely, I have never heard of anyone scattering turtle seedlings there, and there are more and more turtles in it. Slowly, some lazy people actually regard catching turtles as a profitable job. At that time, soft-shelled turtle was very expensive, and it was said that eating soft-shelled turtle could make it up. Day after day, year after year, the turtles there seem endless. After a while, people living near Guitang began to get into trouble. Either the house caught fire or the cow drowned, and then it became more and more serious, so serious that all the dead died.
Simon was shocked when he heard about it. At first, everyone didn't know what was going on, because many people in rural areas were superstitious and wondered if it was related to Feng Shui. The people in the village gathered together and invited a famous Mr. Feng Shui from a nearby town to see it.
Mr. Feng Shui came to the pond and squatted down. He looked down at the water in the pond and said, "There is a thousand-year-old turtle essence in this pond. You people caught and killed its offspring, and it will surely get back at you. " When' tis once spoken, some people in the village laughed, others said that we all believed in Feng Shui, but it was nonsense to say that there was such a thing as turtle essence here, and everyone in the village laughed and discussed it.
Mr. Feng Shui just shook his head and sighed, saying that there are five temples around your village, and the other four are safe and sound. Only a humble temple in the north is now in ruins. Some time ago, when the road was being built in your village, the temple was crumbling. However, although this temple is small, it is the key to suppress this turtle essence. If you believe, you can rebuild this temple. I can't help it if you don't believe me.
The villagers were very surprised because no one had ever told him about it.
After Mr. Feng Shui left, the villagers consulted and found several big pumps, saying that they wanted to drain the water in the pond and see what turtle essence looked like. However, after the water was drained, there was nothing at the bottom of the empty pond. Although people dug three feet and found nothing, let alone the turtle essence, they didn't even see a little turtle.
After that, the villagers rebuilt the temple with a grain of salt. Strangely, nothing strange has happened since then.
Later, it was said that the other four temples were all holding up the four legs of turtle essence, and the so-called key and humble small temple was holding up turtle essence's head, so it was the most critical temple.
