The next day, it was also the Chinese New Year's Eve, Luo Ping didn't know about other places, but he had lived in Jiangcheng for so many years, and he had always eaten the New Year's dinner at noon, but his father and Liu Lulu's family of three were used to eating the New Year's dinner at night, but Zuihou and these people still compromised, after all, they followed the customs of the country, so a grand and grand reunion dinner decided to start at noon, but there was one very, very important thing before eating the 'Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in Jiangcheng, that is, going to the grave.)

Generally speaking, the people in the family go to the grave of the dead elders, and the married ones do not count, no matter how far you are on this day, no matter how old you are, if your elders are buried in their hometown, you must go back to the grave, which is also weishenme Jiangcheng people value the Chinese New Year's Eve so much, otherwise they will be poked in the back by others, saying that it is not filial, although Luo Ping was born in the capital, but he is an authentic Jiangcheng person, so after breakfast on this day, he went to the cemetery with his father (the grave is only limited to family men, This is also weishenme Jiangcheng people have a deep-rooted patriarchal thinking, of course, if there are girls in the family to raise and eat 'old rice', you can also let the son-in-law go to the grave. ）

There are many kinds of graves, all of which have their own different methods, and the countryside is all earthen graves, so when they go to the grave, they are men with shovels to fill in the soil and cut down the locust trees and firecrackers that grow around the tomb. (Mulberry trees are a bad omen in the countryside, and if there is a mulberry tree in front of the house, you must not let it go over the roof, otherwise the family will definitely suffer from all kinds of plagues.) \\\\~Yo).

The city is different, the graves are all tombstones, so you only need to bring a few bouquets of flowers and a little fruit, but you can't bring paper money, because according to folklore, the ghost gate is generally closed on the 24th, and if you want to send New Year's money to those who have died, you must be before this day, of course, the day before is the most haode time, at this time those elders will be used to xìng to wait at the place where the money is received (this day is also the small year of Jiangcheng, and most other places are 23 for the Chinese New Year's Eve. ）

There is also a kind of grave, which is neither an earthen grave nor a tombstone, and it is a lonely ghost to say that it is a lonely ghost, because the dead body does not know where it died, so it has always been to bring a pot of sake, and sprinkle a little power in the place where it died, which should be filial piety to the elders.

Previously, Luo Ping had been sprinkling a little sake on his mother on the edge of the East Lake, although now he knew that his mother was not completely dead, but in order not to make his father suspicious and others suspicious, he had to do it more realistically.

The biggest difference between the Chūn Festival and other festivals is that the other festivals are all people rushing to the most prosperous places, while the Chūn Festival is for everyone to rush to the countryside towns.

The two masters didn't speak along the way, Luo Ping deliberately slowed down and let his father walk in front, this is a kind of respect and a silent expression of his mother's miss, looking at the old back of his father in front of him, Luo Ping felt very uncomfortable, just some time ago when he went to Jiufeng Mountain, he still thought that his father was very healthy, after all, the years are not forgiving, once people get old, they will be unusually fast. Even if Luo Ping can use his wealth to restore it somewhat, he will still grow old inexorably, after all, Luo Ping is not an immortal, and wealth is not an immortal elixir.

After arriving at the lake, the two masters looked at the sparkling lake, although the weather was good today, they still felt cold, as if the lake contained endless ice cubes, Luo Xiangdong's body couldn't help but swing, but fortunately, Luo Ping stepped forward in time to hold it steadily.

"It's okay to go out, why is it so cold now, the lake hasn't frozen yet, why do you look cold?" Luo Xiangdong said and tried to jump a few times, so that he could move his body.

Luo Ping didn't answer but looked at the lake in a daze, he remembered that when he was in Jiufeng Mountain before, it seemed that the lake was said to be connected to this lake, and it was the eyes of the entire dragon vein, and the biggest feature of that lake was that the water temperature was high, it was a huge hot spring pool, how could it be that the lake water of the East Lake had become so cold?

"Kowtow to your mother a few times, although your kid is not as good as me, but you are not bad, and you are qualified to kowtow to your mother a few times, so that she will be happy and happy in the sky."

Just when Luo Ping was in a daze, Luo Xiangdong patted his shoulder and motioned for Luo Ping to kowtow.

Luo Ping hurriedly collected his thoughts, and then kowtowed three times to the center of East Lake, and after kowtowing, he was about to look up at his father, when he suddenly found that he was no longer on the edge of East Lake.

He seemed to be in the walls of a cave, surrounded by endless black sè, and could only hear the sound of dripping water, as if it had fallen from the cracks in the stone overhead.

After Luo Ping stood still for a while, he tried to take a step and began to walk inside, which was different from the strange rocks in his imagination, the inside was quite smooth, as if it had been washed by rain all year round, if he was not wrong, it might be a river, just because it was winter and there was no water.

After Luo Ping walked out more than ten meters away, suddenly there was a roar in front, and if you listened carefully, it seemed to be the sound of the stone door opening.

Luo Ping hurriedly trotted over, although he couldn't see the road under his feet clearly and slipped a few times in a row, but Zuihou finally ran in before the stone gate closed, whether it was a trap or not, he had to go first.

After entering, suddenly a dazzling light came from the front, Luo Ping hurriedly blocked his eyes, and after a while, the white light slowly softened.

"It's you...... Uncle? ”

Luo Ping saw that Uncle Longxin and Uncle Long Xin were together, and immediately changed his mouth and called Uncle, but he often didn't shout, feeling a little awkward.

"Hehe, it's good, I haven't seen you for half a year, you actually got another ear, and all of it was absorbed, faster than I thought." When Master Long Xin said this, his face sank and continued: "But the situation is a little tense now, presumably you have also found some abnormalities, the water of the East Lake is unusually cold, this is all because of the lack of the three-legged cloud dragon tripod caused by the uneven dragon veins, and the underground river below is intricate and many have been diverted, and your mother's situation is not stable now, you have to find the remaining parts of the three-legged cloud dragon tripod as soon as possible, you know?" ”

"Me, can I see my mother?" Luo Ping didn't hear anything else, but he looked a little excited, wanting to be seen by his mother, but was ruthlessly stopped by Uncle Longxin.

When Luo Ping wanted to go up to ask Uncle Longxin again, he felt dizzy, and when he woke up again, he was on the edge of the East Lake again, and he felt as if he had a dream just now_m
