Chapter 1 Remembering Mei Xia Xizhou
As the Middle Yuan Dynasty approached, many women and children were already wearing ghost masks, and they wore sachets to ward off evil spirits obtained from Anle Temple around their waists.
The Midyear Festival is the day when ten thousand ghosts come out of the nest, and it is rumored that only by wearing ghost masks can the evil spirits not find the enemies of the past life, and they cannot find the troubles of the people of this world.
Therefore, women, children, and the elderly all day long without makeup, wearing ghost masks and ghost headdresses. Men all wear dark clothes and must wear a silver sword specially made to ward off evil spirits around their waists, but there are also people who deliberately do not wear ghost masks and boldly travel at night, just to get rid of evil spirits and become famous in one fell swoop.
Compared with the crowds of pilgrims in Anle Temple, Anle Long Street is even more lively, with a dazzling array of goods to drive away evil spirits and save lives, and the streets are full of shouting and selling.
"Girl, buy a peace charm, you can keep you safe! "
"Freshly baked Jushen steamed buns, eat one and you will have a fairy body, ensuring that the evil will not dare to approach you for half a point"
"Young man, you have a fierce face, there will be female ghosts haunted tonight, buy a pure heart exorcism pill, eat it to ensure that the female ghost will not come to the door." ……
In the Heart Sutra Pavilion of the Imperial City, a young girl was standing in the middle of the lobby listening to the teachings of the national teacher. The girl had a very gentle and attractive face, and although she was only eight years old, she had a bit of adult stability and calmness in her eyebrows.
Inside and outside the imperial city, there have already been attendants who began to hang lanterns with the words "avoid" and "drive", and the maids and ladies in the palace must also follow the customs left by the ancestors of Anle Kingdom.
An An was wearing a white plain gauze skirt with a gold leaf mask around her waist. The cuffs are embroidered with a faint white lotus, and silver threads outline a few auspicious clouds at the hem of the skirt. The hair ornament is combed very simply, but the bangs are scattered neatly at will, and there are two waterdrop hairpins on the head.
"Xin'er, can you memorize the Qingjing Sutra?"
"The heart in the scriptures has no heart, no form, and no thing, but the emptiness benefits the students a lot, and the students should memorize themselves. "
"I know why I came here for the teacher."
"The students don't know."
"Zhongyuan is coming, ten thousand ghosts are out of the nest, watching the stars at night for the teacher, and when the day of Zhongyuan comes, it is a big turning point in your life. Whether it's a blessing or a curse, you alone know. ”
Although the girl was only eight years old, she could understand the importance of what the national teacher said, and her father, queen and mother had already increased the guards in the palace, and recruited Buddhist people and immortal monks to check them.
In order to help An survive the catastrophe safely, she was named An An from the time she was born, which means to obey her heart and survive all dangers safely.
The girl replied, "The national teacher is bothered, and the students must pay attention."
"Go down, remember, don't forget your heart."
"Students should follow the teachings of the national teacher."
