When Lin Wenfeng saw Tang Xiaobao early the next morning, he found that his eyes were red and asked, "What's wrong, crying?"

Tang Xiaobao shook his head, how could a big man admit that he had cried.

But Lin Wenfeng knew that he had definitely cried when he called his parents.

Because Tang Zhongqiang called his son after talking to him, saying that he was causing him trouble, but seeing Tang Xiaobao's transformation made him feel very relieved as a father.

In Tang Zhongqiang's opinion, Lin Wenfeng's invitation to himself is not over in this life, whether it is the love of saving his life, or the friendship of teaching his son.

None of this can be measured in money.

He also clearly told Tang Xiaobao that he should respect Lin Wenfeng as his elder, and there should be no trace of disrespect, otherwise he would not forgive him.

In fact, Tang Zhongqiang wanted to say something that cared about him, but he couldn't say it when the words came to his lips, so it was originally a very warm picture, just because this style of painting changed to a picture of a strict father educating his son.

Lin Wenfeng saw that he didn't admit himself and didn't poke him, and said, "You wait a while to cook more food, boil some water, and the villagers under the mountain will come up at noon." ”

"What are the villagers doing here?" Tang Xiaobao didn't know much about the habits of Liujia Village, he had been here for so long, and he had never seen a villager come to Wenfeng Temple.

Lin Wenfeng explained: "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the villagers under the mountain will come up to receive the happy gods, although my Wenfeng Temple is not as good as those larger Taoist temples outside, but these things can still be done." ”

After hearing this, Tang Xiaobao had a general understanding, so he ran to the kitchen and started to get busy.

Lin Wenfeng was not idle, he first set up an incense case outside the door according to the position of the god of joy this year, and offered the tablet of "happy god"; then prepared a bucket, inside: peanuts, walnuts, dates, money, etc., and the mouth of the bucket was sealed with red paper for later use.

The incense wax and other things are neatly placed on the side of the tablet.

After these preparations were completed, Lin Wenfeng waited in the courtyard for the arrival of the villagers.

The first to come to the door was of course the village chief Liu Jianguo and his son Liu Xuejun, Liu Jianguo said to Lin Wenfeng as soon as he entered the door: "Xiaolin, happy new year." ”

Lin Wenfeng arched his hand and said, "Happy New Year, Uncle Xuejun, the village chief." Come and sit. ”

After Liu Jianguo and the others sat down, Liu Xuejun found that a monkey was staring at them not far away, and he asked, "Xiaolin, you still have monkeys here." ”

After hearing this, Liu Jianguo also looked at the place where Lin Xiaohou was, the last time he came, there was only Lin Dalu, and this time he came up not only with one more person, but also with one more monkey.

So Lin Wenfeng talked about the reason and process of why this monkey was here.

After hearing this, Liu Jianguo laughed and said: "I think you are really fated with animals, the big deer was found when it was injured, I didn't expect this monkey to be like this, if you come like this a few more times, I'm afraid your temple will be changed to a safari park." ”

Lin Wenfeng was also helpless about this, but he agreed with the old village chief's words, he did have a good relationship with animals.

Liu Xuejun smiled, then remembered the gravel road he saw when he came up and said: "Xiaolin, didn't I say you, didn't I tell you, I just came to repair the road, you see, I didn't know if I didn't come up, and when I came up, I found that you had built so much." ”

Lin Wenfeng said: "Hey, I'm idle here, and besides, it's not convenient for me to walk if the road is repaired earlier." ”

After Liu Jianguo heard this, he reacted: "You built this road on the mountain, I'll just say, I thought that this kid in my family was lacking in heart or something, how to repair from top to bottom, and do some thankless work." ”

Lin Wenfeng couldn't say anything about this, so he could only look at Liu Xuejun, who was embarrassed on the side.

Liu Xuejun thought to himself: I'm still your son, why is the first thing that comes to mind when I see this kind of thing is me, I am so lacking in heart.

Time passed in Lin Wenfeng's conversation, and there were more and more people in the Taoist temple.

When everyone arrived, everyone gathered outside the gate and stood in front of the tablet of the god of joy.

Tang Xiaobao spread incense for the villagers when Lin Wenfeng had already told him what to do, and the villagers took the incense to the Xishen case and inserted incense in the furnace, and after three kowtows, they pulled out the incense and walked back to the front of the main hall quickly.

Lin Wenfeng held incense to the front of the Xishen case and also inserted incense in the furnace, three kowtows, holding the Xishen tablet back to the main hall, at this time Tang Xiaobao lit firecrackers, followed Lin Wenfeng and ran back to the hall.

In the main hall, Lin Wenfeng offered the tablet of the god of joy, and stood on the high table with the bucket prepared in advance, shouting, "Is the god of joy back?"

Lin Wenfeng immediately grabbed the red paper on the bucket and scattered the things in the bucket, asked again, withdrew again, three questions, three answers, three scattered, Lin Wenfeng east hand, west hand, front hand, back hand, the villagers crowded and robbed

In the end, after the fight was finished, Tang Xiaobao took the fight. Lin Wenfeng got off the table and shouted: "New Year's greetings to the god of joy." The villagers stood everywhere and kowtowed three times.

After this set was completed, Lin Wenfeng and the villagers greeted each other, and then offered incense and prayers to the three immortals enshrined in the Sanqing Palace.

I don't know if it's because there are too many pilgrims, Lin Wenfeng saw that the three stone statues all emitted a dazzling light that only he could see, and then split into white lights and sprinkled on the bodies of the kneeling people.

Lin Wenfeng used the Zhan Qi technique and found that the luck of the villagers had been improved, but some of them had more people and some fewer people, and the people who glanced at it were all some old people, such as the village chief and their generation, and the few were all younger like Liu Ergou, and there were a few children who were more fortunate than them.

Only then did he realize that the three stone statues built by the creation art were also affected by incense and piety, and the more prosperous the incense, the stronger the ability of the stone statues, and the more devout you are, the better you can accept the benefits brought by the stone statues, and maybe to a certain extent, you can turn the tide of safety.

As for why there are more children than all of them, it can only be said that children's hearts are more pure, not as many as adults think, and what they believe is true in their hearts, and they believe that the fairy grandfather will bless them.

Knowing all this, Lin Wenfeng thought to himself, it seems that this creation technique is not simple, just make something and it's over.

When everything was over, Tang Xiaobao shouted in the courtyard, "It's time to eat." ”

The villagers came to the kitchen one by one with bowls to cook, because there were more people, Tang Xiaobao did not have the experience of cooking for so many people, so the noodles and vinegar noodles were simple and fast.

When the villagers were full of food and drink, they rested for a while and went down the mountain in groups.

And so the first day of the new year passed.
