Chapter 87: The First Day of the Lunar New Year
In the depths of the void, the aura of rejection became clearer and clearer.
Liu Daode instinctively sensed the danger, so he didn't dare to go out of his body to investigate. Just slightly let out thoughts, feeling the various breaths of the earth under your feet.
Between breaths, the whole person was already silent. With a squeeze of hands, the spirit sat upright on the high platform. In a trance, it seems to be one with the land, and the surrounding water is gurgling and merging into it......
"Crackling......" There was a dull sound in the distance.
The voice reached Liu Daodao's ears, which was not too loud, but he suddenly had a thrill, quickly woke up from his meditation, and opened his eyes.
Looking up at the sky, the moonlight is still bright.
But in Liu Daodao's induction, the void suddenly had a little more coercion, and it continued to permeate, pressing straight towards the top of the Land Temple.
Why is this all of a sudden, Liu Daode subconsciously took out his mobile phone, looked at the time, twelve o'clock, it was the middle of the night, and the new year had arrived.
The sound of thunderclaps constantly coming from several nearby villages is the night watchman setting off firecrackers to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new.
Tonight, it is the "three-yuan" moment of "the year of the year, the month of the month, and the time of the time", and the people go to the sacrifice, which should have been the time when the incense and fire are at their most vigorous, why do they feel suppressed.
Liu Daode looked up at the night sky, only to feel that it was foggy and couldn't see through it at all.
The speculation that once came to my heart again: the laws of heaven and earth have changed!
The gods may no longer be integrated into this piece of heaven and earth, so the Jiao people in the Jiuqu Yellow River Lantern Array will bleed when they invite the gods.
Not only gods, but even animals can't be cultivated to perfection. For example, the weasel, if he hadn't helped himself, I'm afraid he would have bled to death.
Then why is he okay now, will he become an exception? Liu Daode didn't know at all.
He stood in the courtyard and was silent for a long time. The foodie flew back at some point and landed beside his master. On the other side, the sophomore general was also guarding.
If you don't understand, then don't think about it anymore.
Keep going like this, and one day you will clear the fog in the sky and find the answer.
Seeing that the time was not early, Liu Daode sighed, turned around and went back to the house, and put on the tribute.
Then take out a firecracker and light it on the road in front of the door.
Get up early in the morning and go to the old grave to burn the paper again. When I get home, cook the leftover dumplings from last night and eat them. After hastily brushing the pots and bowls, Liu Daode led the general to the village to pay New Year's greetings.
Before heading out, he suddenly remembered that there was one more thing he hadn't done. I went back to the house and got two buckets of water and poured them into the stone jar in front of the temple gate.
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and according to the custom, good men and women from several nearby villages will come to the land temple to offer incense, which is for them to prepare for the purification of their hands.
In fact, before offering incense, you need to clean your hands and face to show your devotion to the gods. It's just that many people are now perfunctory and completely omit this procedure.
Liu Daode thought for a while, stood by the water tank and squeezed his hand, and suddenly the surrounding void fell into it.
Although I can't fulfill the prayers of these good men and women, I can still give a little benefit to the people who are sincere.
Liu Village, Hedong is a big family, regardless of distance and proximity, so every family in the village has to go to it during the New Year's greetings. Sit in each house for a while, say a few words of New Year's greetings, turn around, and half a day will pass.
Just in time, the large army of New Year's greetings in the village had just gathered. Liu Daodao took the lead, and there were twenty or thirty people in a group of people.
Liu Daode said hello and followed the team.
So many people greeted the New Year, and when they entered the courtyard of the master's house, there was a large area of hulala, and the house couldn't sit down at all. Everyone stood in the courtyard and played for a while, ate a few melon seed candy, and then went to the next house.
After a while, it was finally Liu Daodao's turn. He led the way in front, and when he entered the yard, he also took out candy, melon seeds, and cigarettes, and then handed out red envelopes to the children one by one.
Approaching the New Year, I made a small fortune and was happy.
There is not much money in the red envelope, and each one is stuffed with five yuan of new tickets, which is a thought.
After the turn, everyone brushed back to the village and gathered in front of Liu Laosan's shop. Someone moves the table, someone takes a stool. In a few minutes, four or five tables were set up, and poker, mahjong, and chess were put on the table, and anyone could choose.
The atmosphere in Liu Village, Hedong is quite good, and everyone only plays cards for entertainment, and they don't gamble at all. Soon there was a circle of people behind each table, gossiping as counselors.
As soon as Liu Daode set up the chessboard, before he started to move the chess pieces, someone patted him on the shoulder.
He turned his head to look and found that it was Zhao Yue'e, and hurriedly asked, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"
"The temple door is locked, and several relatives of my mother's family want to burn incense. Zhao Yue'e pointed to a few old ladies holding incense candles behind her.
"No lock, let's go directly," Liu Daode smiled at a few people and continued to play chess.
It was almost noon, and there were incredibly many tourists in Liu Village, Hedong. Most of these people drive private cars with family or friends in the car.
Their purpose is the same as that of Tony Chow, they all feel that it is not interesting to spend the New Year in the city, so it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to go out and play. Many people come with quite complete equipment, barbecue grills, beef, mutton and vegetables, etc., and set up stalls directly on the river embankment. Some of them even brought fishing rods, intending to catch fish and wait for barbecue.
Of course, there are also people who travel lightly and are ready to order food at the village farmhouse.
Liu Laosan couldn't sit still at all, and hurriedly put down the sign and began to greet his shop. In half an hour, he sold more than a dozen drinks and beers alone.
Liu Daode didn't have anything to do, and he played until noon, and then led the general Shi Shiran home.
Far away, you can see smoke above the temple.
The power of incense and fire is pouring in. Sensing this breath, the talisman began to churn slightly.
As soon as the bowl was dropped at noon, there were familiar tourists who came to visit, and many people also took a group photo in front of the door.
In fact, the vicinity of Liu Daodao's home has become a famous scenic spot in Liu Village, Hedong. There are dwellings, animals, land temples, and swallow cliffs.
In particular, Swallow Cliff is very well-known among tourists, and it has also been reported on the city TV station. Almost everyone who comes to Liu Village in Hedong for the first time has to go there to take pictures.
Last autumn, there were already thousands of swallows on Swallow Cliff. These things fly into the sky every time they are foraging, and they are black and a large dark cloud, which is very spectacular.
It's a pity that it's winter now, and most of the swallows on the swallow cliff fly to the south to spend the winter, and only a few dozen stick to it here, and you can't see the spectacular scene of the past.
The last time Lin Xiaotong came, he saw that these earth swallows did not fly away in winter, and it was a little strange, so he deliberately checked the information on the Internet. Affection: These birds are not migratory birds in the traditional sense, and they decide to stay according to the climate and the amount of food available in each place.
Of course, in Liu Daodao's view, these soil swallows are likely to be reluctant to the nearby environment. xh:.74.240.212
