128. Ghost Pick Watermelon Up
The whereabouts of the water ripples are not without a clue, Huo Xin heard it mention that the place where it originally lived was called Chu Ting, and there were five-colored sheep infested, and this place was the area of Guangyue today.
Although this clue is a little vague, it is better than completely scratching your head, the place where Shui Lian lives is close to the entrance of the Dragon Palace, and Guangyue is leaning against the South China Sea, maybe a certain boundary gate of the Dragon Palace world is stored there.
With Huo Xin, Mu Feng and his party went to Guangzhou.
In the early 90s, Canton was much more lively than the mainland, and there were many gold diggers from all over the world.
The three monsters were a little stunned, Philip and Duoduo, who had been walking around the capital, were fine, Huo Xin, who had been staying in the deep mountains, was a little dizzying, it had now been sealed with spiritual power, and looking at the vehicles driving in front of him, as well as the high-rise buildings, these were all made by mortals, and the iron bird that flew from the sky could make people cross the distance of the sea, which made Huo Xin have the intention of trying it.
Huo Xin is now an ordinary black dog, it is led by Yingyi, not that he thinks it will suddenly go crazy and bite people, on the one hand, walking the dog on a leash is a civilized quality, and on the other hand, Yingxin is afraid that this black dog from the countryside will be lost in the city. I didn't see that this dog was already a little empty-eyed, and even the road was a little bad.
Huo Xin saw a double-decker bus coming, it moved its nose with some curiosity, this is taller than the other iron boxes running on the road, I don't know if I can let it go up and sit down, it wants to sit on the upper compartment of the bus, it is better to pull over, and go around the city.
If there is no spiritual power, mortals can go to heaven and earth, so can there be another direction for the development of cultivating immortals? I don't know that Huo Xin, who doesn't know science, thinks a little far at this time, it is not a smart dog in the scourge clan, otherwise it would not have been left behind because it couldn't properly comprehend the laws of the mysteries.
The clan dogs treated it well, and left it on the edge of the big tripod cast by several fire gods in Zhurong, and it could make up for its clumsiness, even if it couldn't become very powerful in a short period of time like the clan dogs, it could break through thousands of years of absorbing fire spiritual power.
It's just that even though Huo Xin has been able to transform into a human form, it is still frightened when he thinks of the mysterious laws that need to rely on understanding. Now that it has seen the things made by these mortals, although it is much inferior to the magic weapons, it has made it see a different path, maybe there is a more suitable path for it to cultivate immortals, for example, it is a way of cultivation that can be quantified concretely.
But this thought is now fleeting, until another thousand years have passed, the earth has entered the interstellar age, Huo Xin's name has been recorded in the history books of mankind, and it has become a master dog demon who built the first generation of mecha on the earth.
These are all later words, but now Huo Xin was pulled hard by Ying, not letting it curiously pounce on a private wheel, to study the relationship between the pattern of the wheel and the friction.
"We're going to go into the mountains, and we might find something there." Mu Feng checked the map, they studied the local chronicles of Guangyue, don't underestimate the records left by these mortals, which will not positively record the haunting of such and such cultivators, but will record those inexplicable events, which often hide traces of the cultivation world.
Mufeng and Yingyi found that there is a custom worth thinking about in the Chaoshan area, 'On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, the ghost picks watermelons. ’
There are several versions of the legend about this custom, one of which is that from the sixth son of the sixth month of June to the middle of the seventh month of July, this time is the ghost month, the hundred ghosts travel, these ghosts come back to the sun to choose sacrifices, they will pick up watermelons in groups, so if you want to eat watermelons, please before the sixth day of the sixth month of June, and the watermelons after that may be picked by ghosts, what will be the consequences of eating, it is difficult to say.
Of course, there are other theories. It is said that on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, those new ghosts who died, generally refer to the ghosts who died from the sixth day of June last year to the fifth day of June this year, and they will go home again before crossing the bridge to forget the previous life, so the fifth day of the sixth month should worship the new ghosts, in order to prevent the ghosts from being mistakenly entered, families without new dead people should be inserted in the doors and windows. On the peach branch to ward off evil spirits, and those families with newly deceased relatives have to prepare sacrifices, including a large watermelon, so that the ghost can bribe the ghost when crossing the Nai He Bridge.
No matter how many versions there are, if you believe the legend of such a group of ghosts picking up watermelons, then it means that on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, there will be a hundred ghosts here.
The Netherworld is a world where ghosts often live, but Ying Wei knows that there is no specific path to the human world, let alone the opportunity to come to the human world once a year. Then it is very likely that the hundred ghosts traveled because there was a boundary gate to other worlds opened on this day.
Mortals could not accurately distinguish the difference between ghosts, demons, and demons, and they attributed the incredible scenes they saw to the travel of the hundred ghosts, but the real situation was that there were cultivators from other worlds here.
What the hell is going on, will there be a boundary gate to the world where the Dragon Palace is located, Mu Feng decided to go to the mountain villages where the strange stories recorded in the local chronicles are the most frequent. Now it is not far from the sixth day of the sixth month of June, and there are still two or three days to go, and then we will be able to find out.
Zhong Kui walked in the mountain pass, don't look at him and the legendary Zhong Kui who can catch ghosts, but he is a thin young man. After the reform and opening up, he did not want to continue to live in a small mountain village, but came to the city to seek opportunities to earn money, but his grandfather passed away three days ago, and he had to return to the mountains to give his grandfather a funeral.
It's only been three years since I walked the mountain road, but I didn't expect to be a little unskilled when I walked. At night, the mountains don't look like cities, they are completely unlit. Zhong Kui can only rely on the flashlight for lighting, he is holding the flashlight and muttering, "This light is not bright enough at all, it is not as good as the torch used when I was a child!" ”
Just after Zhong Kui said this, he suddenly felt as if his shoulder had been rubbed by something, he was suddenly startled, and when he looked back, there was nothing. "The most important thing to scare yourself is that the wind must be too strong, and the wind in the mountains is always stronger than in the city."
And right behind Zhong Kui, there were two blue-faced and fanged monsters! The two monsters were laughing when one of them said, "Hee-hee, that skinny monkey's name is Zhong Kui!" It sounds the same as Zhong Kui Zhenjun, who has made a lot of trouble in the demon world! ”
The other monster rolled his eyes, Zhong Kui's real man's power over the demon lord made the monsters lose face, and today it is better to take out anger on this human being. "I thought of a funny thing, and you said we might as well scare him. These mortals don't all say that today is the day of the ghost to pick a watermelon, why don't we ask him for a watermelon? ”
"But I've just flipped through it, and this skinny monkey doesn't have watermelons in his bag."
"If there is a watermelon, I don't scare him, but I don't scare him. He can't give watermelon, so he has to take something else. ”
"Take what?" The monster didn't react, but the one who came up with the idea had already walked in front of Zhong Kui and appeared.
"Ahh
Zhong Kui was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground, why did such a terrifying-looking ghost appear in front of him, why didn't he faint, he wanted to faint!
"Hey, mortal, do you know what day it is?"
Zhong Kui shook his head desperately, what day, he didn't know, he didn't know at all.
The monster frowned and was not happy, how could this human react, everyone here knew that June 6 did not go out in the past, and finally caught one today, but he didn't know this custom?
"Today is June 6th!" The monster grinded his teeth as he spoke, "You know, hand over the watermelon, you can't take it out, hehe-"
Ha? Watermelon? Why watermelon.
Zhong Kui was stunned, he didn't react for a while. Zhong Kui has already left the mountains, and the life in the city has made him forget the old customs of his previous life, and he will no longer calculate what day it is in the lunar calendar.
Finally understood the monster's words after he was stunned for a minute, today is June 6, the day of the ghost picking watermelons.
"But, I, I, don't have watermelons." Zhong Kui's voice was trembling, and the whole person was also trembling.
The monster stretched out its long tongue and licked its teeth, "It's okay if you don't have a watermelon, I just need something round, and your head fits too!" ”
The monster stretched out its claws and grabbed Zhong Kui's round head, and with a 'bang', Zhong Kui was completely stunned.
"The monsters are still scary." Another voice rang out, and the monsters turned their heads suddenly, and they felt a burst of water aura rushing towards them.
