The Premier League's winter break begins.

Liu Yun's family and Qu Bai flew directly to Yanjing on a British Airways flight.

In Yanjing, Qu Bai's uncle, Mr. Qu of Qizhi Investment, warmly invited Liu Yun's family to have a sumptuous lunch. Then he enthusiastically dispatched his own driver and drove Liu Yun's family back to their hometown in Handong at high speed.

Upon arriving in the village, Liu Yun was taken aback. The courtyard of the second aunt's house is gone, replaced by a beautiful three-story small western-style building.

Liu Yun suddenly remembered that Zhang Qing, the boss of Bairun Group, had promised to build a small western-style building for his second aunt's family. It seems that Zhang Qing has fulfilled his promise.

"Second aunt, second aunt, I'm back!" Liu Yun pushed open the door of the small western-style building and shouted loudly.

Whether it is a small farm yard or a small western-style building, as long as the relatives are there, it is home.

Isabella's belly was already bulging high. Liu Xiaoyan carried her British pregnant mother into the small western-style building.

"Yunzi is back!" The second aunt walked out of the room tremblingly.

"Where's the second uncle?" Liu Yun asked.

The second aunt said, "Knowing that you are back, he went to the town to catch the big market and buy delicious food." ”

Not long after, the second aunt rode a bicycle and returned home. On the handlebars of the bicycle, a vegetable basket hangs.

The second aunt and the second aunt went into the kitchen and were busy. Not long after, stewed pork ribs with wild vegetables, fried crucian carp, roasted green carp, steamed hairy crab... A series of authentic Handong delicacies were served.

When Liu Yun returned to his hometown in Handong, he originally wanted to spend a vacation quietly and accompany the two old people at home. But how can a Premier League superstar enjoy a quiet holiday for ordinary people?

All kinds of Chinese media flocked to the city. Even the CCTV Football Night column team sent an interview team.

The second aunt's house simply became the scene of a press conference.

The second aunt is quite happy, and her nephew is out of business. If he didn't make it, how could there be so many reporters interviewing him?

Two days before returning home, Liu Yun dealt with various media during the day, and it was not until 8 p.m. that the media reporters dispersed. The inns in the town are all wiped out with Liu Yun, and they are full every day.

On the third day, Liu Yun's house came to a guest - Zhang Qing, the boss of Handong Bairun Group.

After all, Zhang Qing built a small western-style building for his second aunt's family. Liu Yun warmly received him.

Everyone sat down, drank a cup of tea, and Zhang Qing explained the intention: "Brother Liu, when your contract with the Coventry team expired, you chose to stay in Europe and did not return to Handong Bairun. Now, it's the right choice. I have come today to ask you. ”

Liu Yun asked, "Mr. Zhang, please speak." ”

Zhang Qing said: "That's right, tomorrow is the last round of the Chinese League. Our Handong Bairun is now ranked third, with the same number of points as the third-ranked Jiangsu, Zhejiang Silly Haha team, but only behind by a goal difference. Tomorrow's game against Jinmen Donkey Master is the decisive battle of Handong Bairun. I hope you, the Manchester United superstar, can be here to cheer on our hometown team! ”

This is not an over-the-top request. Liu Yun happily agreed: "Okay, I will definitely arrive." ”

Zhang Qing said again: "It would be better if Brother Liu's wife and daughter could go. You know, your daughter's current nickname is Manchester United's little princess. The whole of China knew about it. ”

Liu Xiaoyan said, "Dad, I'll go." After the competition, I can also go and see my classmates in Jingzhou. ”

Zhang Qing said: "Haha, great. With the cheers of the old lieutenant and his family, I think our Handong Bairun team will definitely be able to win the game. ”

The next day, Zhang Qing sent a special car to take Liu Yun's family to Jingzhou.

The home stadium of the Handong Bairun team is located in the Jingzhou City Stadium.

Zhang Qing personally led Li Yun's family to visit the home stadium of the Bairun team. After the visit, Zhang Qing said to Liu Yun: "This game is too important. I invited the masters of the Tsing Yi Temple of Funiu Mountain to do a blessing ceremony in the city stadium. It's about to start, so let's participate together. ”

Liu Yun was surprised at first when he heard this. Pre-match prayers? Thinking of the news of Falang Sports again, Liu Yun was indifferent. In the news of Falang Sports, it has been repeatedly said that there is a Chinese Super League team that invites monks and Taoists to hold a blessing ceremony before the game. There is also a talk here, the northern team likes to ask Taoist priests to do things. The southern team loves to ask monks to do things. Huachao's Lingnan twin heroes neither believe in monks nor Taoists, but only believe in feng shui. Every time there is an important game, there must be a big array of five elements gossip and Qimen Dunjia in the stadium.

Liu Yun agreed to Zhang Qing's suggestion with curiosity. Follow Zhang Qing to the center of the City Stadium.

This blessing ceremony of the Handong Bairun team is more like a farce.

On the arc of the center circle of the city stadium, there is an offering table of eight immortals. There are pig's heads, sheep's heads, and 。。。。。 on top A donkey's head?!

In Chinese culture, there is a saying that three animals lead to heaven. In ancient times, three animals would be sacrificed, pigs, cows, and sheep would be sacrificed.

However, this is the first time I have heard of the donkey's head.

Next to the Eight Immortals Offering Table, there are two large flagpoles, and the flagpoles are covered with charms.

A middle-aged man in a yellow robe, holding a peachwood sword. On each side was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old Taoist boy with a bell in his hand.

A group of players and staff of the Handong Bairun team lined up on the side.

The blessing ceremony has officially begun!

The old man in between, holding a peachwood sword, jumped around like crazy. There are words in the mouth: "Heavenly Spirit, Earth Spirit, Taishang Laojun will soon show his spirit, Handong Bairun will definitely win~ must win, must win!" ”

The old-fashioned lines are quite rhyming.

Liu Xiaoyan whispered to her father: "Dad, why does that old man seem to be dancing awkwardly?" ”

Liu Yun hurriedly told his daughter to shut up: "Don't talk, just watch." ”

The old man waved his peachwood sword and pointed to the dog's head on the offering table: "Wow, Tai Chi gives birth to two instruments, two instruments give birth to four elephants, four elephants give birth to gossip, gossip will give birth to good luck, good luck and evil will set a great cause!" Bless the old man! Cut off the donkey head of the donkey master of Jinmen! Wow, yes, yes!"

The two Taoist boys waved the bell in their hands, matching the old mantra's spell.

The old Taoist danced and repeatedly stabbed the donkey's head on the table with his peachwood sword.

Liu Yun suddenly felt a wave of nausea. Did the Huaguo Club match win by relying on the feudal superstitions that these cows, ghosts, snakes and gods engaged in before the game?

But what kind of blessing ceremony are you doing, at least decently, right? Liu Yun feels like a rural dancing god.

Zhang Qing looked at Liu Yun with some embarrassment. He himself felt that this prayer was powerful。。。。。 It's kind of like a farce.

At the end of the ceremony, Zhang Qing said to Liu Yun: "Brother Liu, don't laugh. Let's do this in China. This kind of thing, it's better to believe it than not to believe it. ”

Turning his head, Zhang Qing scolded his assistant: "I'll let you find a master." Are you looking for a master? Why do you look like a country dancing god? ”

The assistant hurriedly explained: "Mr. Zhang, this master of Funiu Mountain Tsing Yi is very effective. Although his prayers are somewhat 。。。。。 Fantastic. But he 。。。。。 It's really a master. ”

How did Zhang Qing know that his assistant had eaten the old fifty percent rebate of the practice fee。。。。。

Liu Yun persuaded himself in his heart: Chinese people have loved to do this since ancient times. It's not about the game.

Liu Yun really wants to see if the technical and tactical level of the Huaguo League, where the price of players is now speculated, has really improved.

(The fat author says this chapter isn't.) In the last round of a super league, a certain team invited a Taoist priest before the game. A certain university is the birthplace of Feng Shui metaphysics in the Super League. ）
