Chapter 3 Listening to Music
"God of flowers, this female ghost said that it was a dream in the back garden, and she died in fright for Hua Fei. But? ”
"Yes, too. He was entangled with Xiucai's dream, and occasionally woke up with falling flowers. The woman died. ”
"Dare you pretend to be a talent and mislead other women?"
"What do you think I'm obsessed with him?"
"You said I don't know!"
...... (Note: Excerpt from "The Judgment of the Peony Pavilion")
"Your Majesty, you always listen to this repeatedly? What kind of story is this singing?"
It is about a girl who went from birth to death because of "love". When she died in the underworld, her beauty shocked the judge, and her "affection" made the judge even more unbelievable. The judge was moved by her "affection", so he gave her the Hades token, allowing her to return to the yang and pursue her love. ”
"The judge mentioned in this book is also very humane, even cute and funny."
"Let's go"
"Little Er, settle the bill" After speaking, he put the silver on the table, walked a few steps, and chased after the woman wearing a blue robe who had reached the door
The shopkeeper cleaned up the teapot and handed it to the back kitchen, while saying to the shopkeeper, "Master, these two people are very interesting, every time they watch a play, they order the same tea, sit in the same position, and listen to the same play"
The shopkeeper gently put the feather duster on Xiao Er's body, and said, "Little rabbit cub, you have a long ability, and you will talk about distinguished guests behind your back."
"Guest?"
"Look at the clothes of these two girls, they are all good clothes, especially this blue color, but it is extremely rare, you must know that a hundred pieces of cloth can produce one, and every time you make a generous shot, you are not a distinguished guest, serve well, this is our family's cash cow"
"It's still the shopkeeper's eyes poisonous."
"Don't be poor, put this list on your guest's table"
"Shopkeeper, this is next month's music list?"
"You light this incense, put the list next to the incense, and go, don't ask. and gave this money to the theater troupe backstage, saying that it was a reward for the distinguished guests. ”
Xiao Er took the incense suspiciously, walked to the table, lit the incense, put the music list and left
After burning the incense for a while, the smoke turned into a small figure, picked up the playlist, and disappeared along with the unburned incense
outskirts
The two who left the teahouse turned around and went to the suburbs
"Your Majesty, but you want to go back?"
"Bai Quan, today is the seventh and a half months?" (The seventh half is another name for the Midyear Festival, also known as the Ghost Festival)
"Your Majesty, this July is a Halloween Festival, it stands to reason that it should be a celebration of the living, a hundred ghosts, why are there so many people by the river, lighting the lamp but praying again?"
"Although it is a ghost festival in the seventh half of the world, it is also a day for people to worship their ancestors, pay tribute to their relatives, and pray for the blessings of their ancestors and ancestors.
Bai Quan looked up at the bright moon that was covered by clouds and mist, and said, "Today is the heaviest yin qi, it seems that it should be a parade of hundred ghosts."
"Bai Quan, you are pinching your fingers again, look at you like a god, you are a god stick in the world"
"Your Majesty, you can't say that, the god stick in the world is Dong Shi Xiaofeng, but I was born with it."
Yun Xi glanced at Bai Quan, pinched his middle finger and said, "Then you look at the yin qi, do you need to pinch your fingers?" ”
"Hahaha" Bai Quan stripped his hair in a sneer, and said angrily, "Your Majesty, this is the ceremony"
"Bai Quan, you are a woman now, I think you are like this... Hmm..."Yun Xi finished and walked down the street
"Huh? Yes! ”
Yun Xi heard a wail behind him
"Your Majesty, you will change me back, Your Majesty, you wait for me"
Today's streets are bustling with lights, with all kinds of lights, but unlike the paper lanterns of the Lantern Festival, the one in July and a half is called Krathong
This kind of lamp is mostly made of paper paste like a palace, there is wax and oil to ignite the fire, there is a colored triangular paper flag inside, known as the "Pudu flag", the flag is written with a brush "worship the yin light", "the dark light shines" and other "Zhongyuan honorifics" words, and write their own names, so that the dead soul knows which donor is worshipped, and there are also those who write directly on the lamp without using the flag
"Brother, why do you put a lamp in the water?"
"Because the lantern will help the dead light the way, invite them to enjoy the incense"
"The farther the lantern floats, the more protected the person who puts the lantern will be" Yun Xi couldn't help but interject on the side
"Is my sister also here to worship the ancestors? Why is there nothing on your lamp? ”
"I'm not here to worship ancestors, I'm here to pray"
"Pray?" The little girl with two balls on her head tilted her head is very cute
"You can pray for blessings today, do you have any wishes?"
The little girl thought about it seriously and said, "Sister, I want my father who went to sea to come back safely as soon as possible."
Yun Xi paused, looked at the cute little girl and couldn't help it, pinched her face and said, "Don't worry, your father will be back tomorrow."
As soon as Yun Xi finished speaking, the hand that pinched the little girl's face was pulled away, and he also got a roll of the little girl's brother's eyes
"Hmph, Yuanyuan, let's go" The little girl's brother left with a girl named Yuanyuan
"Brother, that sister said Daddy will be back tomorrow"
"Don't talk to strangers, you might be a stick"
Yun Xi looked down at himself depressedly, thinking that I was more like a god stick than Bai Quan, in the end, I was mortal with the naked eye, and I couldn't see the fairy posture of this god
"Your Majesty, you have pinched other people's faces" Bai Quan looked at Yun Xi with a coquettish face
"......" Yun Xi slapped at Baiquan's Tianling Gai, "Demons, demons, and monsters retreat"
Bai Quan touched the beaten head and looked at Yun Xi with an angry face, "Yun Xi! ”
Yun Xi hugged his fist at Bai Quan and said, "I thought you were possessed"
Bai Quan pinched Yun Xi's arm, glaring at Yun Xi, his eyes were full of anger, Yun Xi was sure that if it weren't for the people around him, Bai Quan would never just pinch her arm
"I was wrong, don't be angry, you will be unraveled when you return to the Wutong Realm" Yun Xi lowered her head and hurriedly admitted her mistake, don't look at Bai Quan calling her king, according to her seniority, she also has to call Bai Quan uncle, her uncle was famous for his good temper in the ancient god realm back then, and he can be so angry today, it is estimated that he is really angry
Bai Quan let go of his hand and glanced at Yunxi, "Ten thousand years have passed, some people are better for you to let go early" After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left
Yun Xi froze for a moment, looked down at the water lantern in his hand, and shook his head, "Time can't wipe out his"
"By the way, you come back earlier this year, don't let me go to the underworld to pick up the hangover you" Bai Quan turned back and told Yunxi
Yun Xi was gloomy and sad, and was frightened by the voice in his ears, and jumped up, "Baiquan, God is scared, God is scared to death"
"Hmph, it's good to know that you're scared, come back early"
"Well, you go back first, I'll talk to the Red Moon and they will go back to the Wutong Realm"
riverside
After Bai Quan left, Yun Xi walked to the river, at this time it was almost time, the water lantern on the river was like a star, Yun Xi put the water lantern in his hand into the river, closed his eyes, I don't know whether to ask himself or ask the sky, "Father, he is back"
When Yun Xi opened her eyes, the water lantern she didn't light had floated to the middle of the river, a gust of wind blew, and the lamp glowed with red fire, and before Yun Xi could take a closer look, the fire was extinguished, and a bell rang in the distance, and the night walk of the hundred ghosts was about to begin
