Chapter 584: Laba
The second day was Laba Festival, early in the morning I was woken up by the noise in the temple, after a simple wash, I went out of the room, and saw a few little monks cleaning the courtyard, including the ignorant little monk. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info little boy saw me come out, so he ran towards me, and his little face was very vivid reflected by the snow.
"Sister Hua, you're awake! Come out, we have Laba porridge to eat today! Wuming said excitedly, after he and I got acquainted, he also followed Luo Qiaoyu and called "Sister Hua"
I smiled, reached out and bounced the snow off his shoulders for him, and gave him a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead. Only then did he ask, "Little Master of Ignorance, you got up so early!" What about your master? ”
"Oh, Sister Hua, don't always call me 'Little Master', let's just call me 'Ignorance'!" Wuming wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and was a little embarrassed to return it to me when he saw some stains on the snow-white handkerchief, but I took the handkerchief from him and put it in my pocket.
"Well, Ignorance, you haven't told me where your master is?" I asked again.
"Oh, he's having a morning class with his brothers in the main hall!" Ignorance smiled shyly.
"Sister Flower!" A clear voice came out from the corner of the wall, it was Xiao Wenshu, who was walking here with a plum blossom in his hand.
As soon as Wuming saw the plum blossom in his hand, he raised the broom in his hand and pounced, "How can you pick my master's plum blossom!" ”
Xiao Wenshu was obviously surprised that this little monk would be so angry, but his figure was quite flexible, his body flashed, dodging the momentum of ignorance, and shouted in his mouth: "What to do, what to do, isn't it just a plum blossom, is it necessary to come to this pose?" ”
Ignorance didn't let him go, he chased Xiao Wenshu with a broom, and kept shouting: "I'm going to beat you a flower destroyer!" ”
As soon as the two of them chased and ran, the small courtyard immediately became lively, and I ignored them and walked towards the main hall. Luo Qiaoyu was still doing morning repairs, so I couldn't bother her, so I went to find the great monk Ran first, and wanted to ask if we could let us set off early, I was really worried about Luo Hongxuan's safety.
On the way, I met Ling Daozi, who got up early, Lao Dao was walking slowly with his hands behind his back, his head down, and when he saw me coming, he raised his head and smiled at me.
I took a few steps and saluted the old Tao: "Dao Chang Morning! ”
"It's early for a flower girl," Ling Daozi looked at me with blazing eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have copper coins on you?" ”
I was stunned by his brainless question, and after thinking about it for a long time, I remembered what he was asking, and I remembered that the copper coin was exchanged for catching ghosts and ghosts, and Luo Wantian gave me all the copper coins I had exchanged for it, but it wasn't much. However, every time I go out, I always take it with me.
Lao Dao suddenly asked, I think he must have a good intention, so I replied honestly: "I have always carried it, in the room, the Taoist is useful?" ”
Ling Daozi waved his hand, "It's good to have it, you may be able to use it!" So saying, he walked forward.
I'm a little confused by his play, is it possible to go to the underworld and rely on copper money to buy a road? That thing can be used to add longevity, but I've never used it.
I shook my head, feeling that these were just external objects, and what I was most worried about now was Luo Hongxuan's affairs. I retracted my thoughts and walked towards the main hall.
When he arrived, the morning class had been prepared in the main hall, and the monks were dispersed, and the great monk walked last, and when he stepped out, he saw me waiting outside the door, nodded to me slightly, and motioned for me to go with him.
I followed behind Zhi Ran, and on the way, Zhi Ran said to me: "Flower donor, you can set off after lunch, and the old man will explain to send you down the mountain." ”
I came for exactly this, but I didn't expect that I didn't ask, but I had already explained, and I was overjoyed, and I hurriedly thanked him.
The great monk took me to his meditation room, handed me a string of Buddhist beads, and said, "This thing is an old magic weapon, and I am now giving it to you for self-defense!" ”
I didn't dare to take it, and refused: "Master, such a precious thing, the little girl doesn't dare to accept it!" ”
"How dare you not take it! The old monk gave me a good thing! Ling Daozi walked in from outside the door, followed by Wuming and Xiao Wenshu, the two teenagers were flushed, obviously just caught by Ling Daozi.
"Dao Chief, it is precisely because it is a good thing that the little girl does not dare to accept it!" I continued.
"Oh, Sister Hua, my master told you to continue, you must know that our trip is extremely dangerous, and it can't be done without a self-defense weapon!" Xiao Wenshu stepped forward and took the Buddha bead for me and stuffed it on me.
I couldn't just accept it, but Xiao Wenshu was slapped by Ling Daozi, "You kid is troublesome, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!" ”
Xiao Wenshu covered his head and said angrily: "Master, you beat me again!" ”
"Well deserved!" Ignorance laughed and scolded.
At this time, Wuxiang stepped in and saluted to the great monk and said, "Master, Laba porridge has been prepared at the mountain gate, please master preside over the porridge!" ”
The great monk got up and responded, "Okay!" ”
"Let's go, let's take a look!" Ling Daozi also greeted, and he followed out of the room with him.
Xiao Wenshu walked past me and said, "Sister Hua, let's go too!" ”
I blinked, I didn't want to join in the fun, but I was forced by Xiao Wenshu to follow behind everyone.
Walked outside the temple gate, I saw the monks carrying rice down the mountain one after another, I was curious about what this was going to do, but Xiao Wenshu told me that they were placed at the mountain gate every year in the Jiano Temple, there was an open space, they would set up a few cauldrons in the open space, and then cook the porridge directly in the open air, boil it for a day, cloth people during the day, and cloth ghosts at night.
As soon as I heard this, I suddenly felt strange, even if the cloth people are forgotten, how can there be a cloth ghost.
However, I soon saw it with my own eyes.
When we packed our luggage and followed Wuxiang down the mountain, we saw the scene of the ghost porridge presided over by the great monk Ran at the mountain gate. It turns out that their Jiano Temple has a special geographical location, and the annual Laba Festival is divided into two almsgivings, making porridge with ordinary people during the day and making porridge for ghosts wandering around at night. On this day, they will open up to these lonely ghosts and let them feel the atmosphere of Laba Festival.
When we followed Wuxiang to the mountain gate, it was already night, and we saw several greenhouses set up in the open space of the mountain gate, in which several large cauldrons were placed, and the monks were shaking Laba porridge in front of one of the big pots, and bowls were brought out.
A table was placed in front of a greenhouse, on which were placed bowls of laba porridge, each bowl of laba porridge was lit in front of a pillar of fragrance, and rows of ghosts were lining up in an orderly manner to enjoy Laba porridge.
