Yao Jun returned home and told Yao Laohan about Qiusu, and also told the old man about his determination to develop free-range animal husbandry.

Yao Laohan's thoughts are actually similar to Wu Laosan's, and they all think that Yao Jun's wild animal breeding is a very unsound thing, but looking at Yao Jun's high spirits, the old man can't sweep away his enthusiasm.

However, there is one point, Yao Laohan's opinion is completely opposite to Wu Laosan, Wu Laosan wants to poach national protected animals from Phoenix Mountain, Yao Laohan is resolutely opposed, and his attitude is very resolute.

His old wrinkled hand came to Yao Jun's palm, and said in a serious voice: "Dajun, Dad has always known that this protected animal is valuable, but we can't do it, no matter how valuable it is, a few years ago, Dad had no way to take you to the mountains to poach wild animals, every time I think about it, my heart has been held accountable by the Bodhisattva, so many years, Dad has not encountered protected animals, but Dad has let them go, why?"

Yao Laohan paused, and said with a righteous face, "First, we won't do anything illegal, and second, the animals protected by this country are all endangered, and this root can't be broken in the hands of our two masters, otherwise, we will be sinners of the country!"

This is not a profound truth, but Yao Laohan also came up with these words after searching his stomach, and the old man has never done anything bad in his life, and the biggest bad thing is poaching.

Even so, his conscience has been tormented by pain.

Yao Laohan is a very pious person, he not only worships the gods on the fifteenth day of the first month, but also fixes three incense sticks on each god every night, just like a few days ago, he couldn't get out of bed, and he also asked Yao Jun and Xiao Tao to help him with incense.

It can't be said that Yao Laohan is superstitious, this is a kind of faith, but also a kind of spiritual sustenance and redemption.

"Dad, don't worry, I will never do anything about buying and selling nationally protected animals!" Yao Jun clenched the old man's hand and nodded firmly.

Looking at Yao Jun's eyes, Yao Laohan nodded with satisfaction, and said with a pleased smile on his face: "That's good, that's good, Dajun, go to bed early tonight, you have to get up early tomorrow, the experts in the county, you go to find the right one the day after tomorrow." ”

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Yao Jun got up early in the morning, it was only five o'clock, the sky was still bright, and the sky in front of him could still look at the shining stars.

Yao Laohan and Xiao Tao got up earlier, and got up before four o'clock to prepare, and today is going to hold the opening ceremony of Phoenix Mountain, but they can't be sloppy.

As early as Yao Laohan knew that Yao Jun had obtained the contract for Phoenix Mountain from Li Dafu, the old man asked someone to bring Yao Jun's two birthday posts, one to Bifengyan Dafeng City to ask the Buddha to open the light, and the other to the Lord of Lianghe, asking the Lord for instructions.

Yesterday, when Yao Jun went to the town to find Wu Laosan, these two posts were sent back, the Buddha's spiritual approval was "auspicious", and the reply of the lord of Lianghe was "can".

And the good time to hold the ceremony happens to be today.

The county seat where Yao Jun is located is a place where beliefs are very mixed, and there are many ethnic groups, and the transportation with the outside world is not convenient in the past few years, so all kinds of sacrificial activities are popular in the local area.

In recent years, although the government has opened mountains and built roads, many young people in the county have gone out, and the population of outsiders has also increased.

Xiao Tao has been prepared since the other day.

She spent several days folding a lot of "gold and silver ingot pagodas" and "money treasure boats", and prepared three portions of chickens, ducks and fish for sacrifice, twelve major ingredients of boiled white cut meat, and eight portions of various melons, fruits, peaches and plums, totaling 120 catties.

Cigarettes, foreign wine, and old tea are a portion of each god, and a large pot of sweet noodles is steamed, and the red pulp is boiled out with dragon fruit skin, and it is lit on the blessing bag, which looks very happy.

After Yao Jun finished washing, he changed into new clothes specially prepared for him by Xiao Tao, a pair of red shirts and gowns, black trousers, and leather shoes on his feet, and his hair was also carefully trimmed, making Yao Jun's whole person look very energetic.

Although the village has maintained various sacrificial activities left over the centuries, it has not remained unchanged for so many years, just like the cigarettes and foreign wine, just like the style of Yao Jun, they are all the products of the fusion of foreign things and local beliefs.

Fifty years ago, it would have been strange to put a cigarette on the table when someone was sacrificing, but today, if you don't have a single cigarette on the incense table when you are sacrificing, the big guy will also wonder.

Even non-smokers will be prepared, otherwise, people will think that your family is so poor that you can't even afford the ancestral gods.

Yao Jun first cleaned his hands, tidied up his clothes, first started from the "Emperor of Heaven and Earth's Parents", saluted incense and kowtowed, and then went to the "Buddha of the Quartet" to pray in his heart, and then saluted the "Lord of the Stove", "Land Lord" and "Day and Night Tour Bodhisattva", this first stage, the sacrifice at home is over.

Judging from the names of the gods and sages of the immortals, we know that this is also a local characteristic, whether it is the Buddha and Bodhisattva of Buddhism, the emperor of Taoism and the Lord of the land, these gods have become inconsistent with their original appearance, but the locals still firmly believe that they can get their protection.

This is a kind of spiritual sustenance!

Yao Jun doesn't believe in these Shinto things, but if you come to invest in the land and water, and don't follow some local customs, people will scold you behind your back at most, and give you a stumbling block in some small places.

If Yao Jun didn't follow the customs of the time, he wouldn't be scolded by the backbone. In these places where beliefs and customs are prevalent, you break the law, kill someone, get caught, or at most send you to the police station.

However, if you offend the faith and conflict with the gods, I am afraid that you will not even be able to get out of the village.

Yao Jun meditated at home, and when the sun rose in the east, he carried two baskets to the foot of the mountain.

Yao Laohan held two copies of the post, carried a pair of big red lanterns in his hand, and walked ahead of Yao Jun to open the way.

Kowtow, worship incense, pray, and get the consent of the king of the three mountains and the god of Phoenix Mountain, and that's the end!

The children in the village are very fond of this kind of activity, because the chicken, duck, fish and meat used in the sacrifice and all kinds of blessing and vegetarian dishes will be sent to every household, and the men who like to smoke and drink are also happy.
