Chapter 087: Mosquito God Ritual
It's a new day in the blink of an eye, and the sky is clear!
On this day, the old temple of Hangcai Village was extraordinarily lively, and once again gathered the men, women and children of the entire village, but this time there was no police to demolish the temple, but to hold a special mosquito god ceremony!
There were originally two stone lion statues in front of the old temple, but one was smashed by Zhang Hongxiang before, and now the villagers paid for the construction of a new statue again.
The new statue is tightly wrapped in a large red cloth, and next to it is a huge incense burner used to make incense!
In front of the temple, the water has been surrounded by the villagers, and even a few nearby villages have come to a lot of people, only to see a white-haired old man walking on crutches in front of the big red cloth statue, he is the most respected old principal Zhang in Hangcai Village.
I saw that Principal Zhang was radiant today, looking at these familiar faces in front of him with a radiant look, everyone holding three sticks of incense in their hands, waiting with bated breath for Principal Zhang to hold the ceremony of this mosquito god statue and unveil the big red cloth.
The mosquito god has been rumored recently, and the reporters of Hangcai Village don't know how many waves have come, and they have been on the news a few times, and they have also exposed this village that was not obvious before.
Many people think this rumor of the mosquito god is quite ridiculous, just a mosquito is actually called a god, which makes the gods and Buddhas of the sky how to deal with themselves, and even if there is this so-called mosquito zài, then at best it can only be called a demon, how can the word god be blasphemed at will!
What many people can't accept is that the villagers of Hangcai Village are still building statues for this mosquito god with great fanfare, which is simply ridiculous.
But the people of Hangcai Village don't care about the doubts of the outside world, because they have witnessed the scene in front of the old temple, the kind of shock will never be forgotten, no matter whether the mosquito god or the mosquito demon, as long as he can protect the old temple and protect the village.
Before the Internet went viral an image of a mosquito forming a word, so that netizens aroused a very strong interest in mosquitoes, and they went to check some information and myths and legends of mosquitoes, but there are too few legends about mosquitoes, and there are too few historical materials that can be studied, because this creature is too small to make a big difference.
The most familiar is the mosquito man in "Romance of the Gods", he is the Hongmeng fierce beast blood-winged black mosquito, and he calls himself the mosquito man.
During the battle of the gods, the mosquito Daoist was captured by the quasi-Tidao people, and the Daoist put the mosquito Daoist in a bag and handed it over to the White Lotus Boy to take care of.
Because the White Lotus Boy did not check and release the mosquito Dao people for a while, the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, one of the four great disciples of the Daozhì Sect, was sucked up by the mosquito Dao people.
After the mosquito Taoist sucked the Turtle Spirit Virgin, he flew to the Western Elysium to suck the Western Sect's Zhenjiao Spiritual Treasure ~ Twelve Grades of Merit Golden Lotus.
The twelve-grade golden lotus was sucked by the mosquito Dao people for three grades, and the level of the twelve-grade golden lotus was reduced, and it turned into a nine-grade golden lotus.
The common origin of the mosquito people in the online novel is that the mosquito people are conceived from the sea of blood in the netherworld, and they appear in the Ten Thousand Immortal Array in the God Tribulation, when the quasi-Tidao people use the white lotus boy to catch the Turtle Spirit Virgin with a cloth bag, they get into the cloth bag, and when the boy returns to the West to open the cloth bag, the Turtle Spirit Virgin has been eaten into an empty shell, the mosquito flies out, the boy can't catch it, and is sucked by it on the twelve-grade lotus platform, and one bite is the third product, and then escapes, calling himself the mosquito Taoist, in addition to his one of his needle mouths, and the thousands of black mosquitoes that follow him, is the sucked three-grade lotus platform.
With the legend of the mosquito man, netizens decided that this mosquito was definitely a demon, and they all exclaimed that the person in the village was crazy, and he actually built a statue for a demon and enjoyed the incense, so he was not afraid that this mosquito would come out and suck their flesh and blood!
After all, more than a dozen people died inexplicably in front of the old temple, but it is well known!
How is the outside world discussing, today's ceremony in Hangcai Village is still held, and the scene is still very huge.
Hundreds of villagers held three sticks of incense in their hands and made a wish to worship the Buddha.
Principal Zhang Lao was gushing about the opening remarks, those decades of teaching career have made him eloquent, even if he is a senior scholar, but he believes in these ghosts and gods very much in his heart, you say he is superstitious, but his heart is very clear!
After talking for more than ten minutes, Principal Zhang finally stretched out a hand and grabbed the big red cloth on the statue, announcing it like a bell.
"The Mosquito God Ritual has started normally!"
The big red cloth was vigorously torn off by him, and this brand-new statue was finally exposed to the eyes of the world.
Hundreds of villagers in front of them were shocked by the statue in front of them, the statue was a huge mosquito, but the statue was not ugly, the statue of the stone mosquito was lifelike, and it was not even beautified to look like a mosquito.
It was as if he had also put on a sacred coat, the most obvious being the long pinhole of the stone mosquito, which was particularly eye-catching with a pair of silver-white wings on his back.
"Oh my God, is this what the mosquito god looks like!"
I don't know who shouted out, and the villagers were excited when they saw the stone mosquito statue in front of them!
The atmosphere at the scene was boiling, many elderly people knelt down to the statue with three sticks of incense in their hands, and many reporters with cameras on the periphery of the crowd began to take pictures, which is big news!
The reporters on the periphery kept flashing their cameras, but they didn't attract the attention of others, and the eyes of the villagers were all on the glorious and unusual mosquito statue.
Almost all the villagers were holding three sticks of incense in their hands, even some nearby villagers were prepared, if they were really unprepared, they didn't squeeze inside, and obediently stood outside and looked around.
Of course, it is even more unlikely that someone will borrow incense, incense cannot be borrowed, cannot be borrowed, you take other people's incense to the temple to burn incense Buddha, it is equivalent to you praying for other people's home.
In addition, just as you can't lend money to your opponent when gambling, you are also lending your luck to him.
The atmosphere in front of the old temple is high, the special mosquito statue stands in front of the temple, it doesn't make people feel a sense of disobedience, Xiaotian quietly fell on the statue that belongs to him at this time, there is an inexplicable feeling of blood connection, this feeling is very wonderful!
Looking at the villagers and elders kneeling in front of him, those were all elders who had grown up watching him grow up, but now they knelt down at him, which suddenly made him sincerely afraid, this joke seemed to be really big.
At this time, Xiaotian actually saw the figure of the old mother and the old sister in the crowd, and saw Ni Xiaolian's eyes staring at the sight in front of the temple, inexplicably having a sense of intimacy, and hearing many people say rumors about the mosquito god in the past few days, which made her very awe-inspired.
Holding incense in his hand, he was about to get up and kneel down with the people around him to pray and make a wish, this scene was seen by Zhang Yue, and he hurriedly hugged his mother who was about to kneel and said, "Mom, you can't kneel!" ”
Ni Xiaolian glanced at Zhang Yue strangely, and said with a smile: "What did you say this kid, why can't mom kneel, you see everyone kneeling down, if mom doesn't kneel, the mosquito god will know and blame us, thinking that we are not religious!" ”
"Come, Yue'er, kneel with my mother and beg it to protect our family!"
Zhang Yue suddenly smiled bitterly, secretly anxious, Mom, do you know who you want to kneel, but your own son, but Zhang Yue can't tell his mother about this matter!
Ni Xiaolian is a rural woman in the end, feudal superstition, even if the scene that happened in front of the old temple, she didn't see it with her own eyes, but the old temple was saved, and the murderer of his son was killed by the mosquito god.
Xiaotian saw his mother in the crowd and wanted to rush down at his statue, and he was so frightened that he almost fell off the statue, what kind of joke, his mother knelt down to his son, this is incest, if his son suffers, it will be a big rebellion, maybe a thunder in the sky will be chopped down.
Xiao Tian secretly celebrated that he had discovered it early, and a wave of consciousness shrouded him.
Ni Xiaolian wanted to kneel on the ground, but her brows furrowed, her knees couldn't bend down, she couldn't kneel, as if there was a pair of invisible hands supporting her knees, not letting her kneel!
"Sister, stop my mother from kneeling, is this going to make me be thundered by the sky!"
Xiaotian's voice appeared in Zhang Yue's mind, Zhang Yue could even think of the little brother's cold sweat and dripping appearance, secretly funny, there were many people nearby, and her mother was beside her, she couldn't talk to Xiaotian, but she heard Ni Xiaolian say: "Yue'er, what's the matter, why can't Mom kneel!" ”
Zhang Yue hurriedly found an excuse: "Mom, maybe the mosquito god sees your age and doesn't let you kneel, for fear that you will be tired!" ”
"What are you scared about, kid, look at the people who are older than me in the neighborhood and knelt down, why am I old, does the mosquito god think that his mother is disrespectful to him, what can I do!"
"Mom, you think too much, you forgot your daughter, I've seen the mosquito god, the portrait of that statue, or I painted it, the mosquito god just said to me, you don't have to kneel at him, you just need to use incense!"
Ni Xiaolian said: "Yes, Yue'er, you can't lie to your mother, otherwise you should talk to the mosquito god, let your mother kneel down, otherwise your mother will be uneasy!" ”
"Mom, if you kneel down, he will be upset, and he will be honestly afraid!"
Ni Xiaolian said in a daze: "Yue'er, what are you talking about, who is really afraid!" ”
"Hehe, Mom, just listen to me, don't kneel, just incense when the time comes!"
"Oh!"
Ni Xiaolian sighed, but she felt uncomfortable, and the crowd of people in the vicinity were basically kneeling on the ground, counting their mother and daughter standing with incense, which was very awkward!
