Chen Haodong didn't beat around the bush, and directly told the matter of the Midyear Festival, Ma Daochang looked at the crescent moon and pondered for a moment before saying.

"Okay, girl, don't go out of this Taoist temple now."

"Thank you, Daoist, thank you, Brother Chen."

Ma Xiaoxuan naturally knew that Chen Haodong was worried about himself, and thanked him gratefully.

"Is there any way you can help the girl break the curse?"

"Hide from the sky and the sea, use the secret method to crack it, let the crescent moon return to reality, and let him feel the world of flowers."

Chen Haodong replied very plainly, but Daoist Ma was very surprised, although he had vaguely thought of it before, but it was different from Chen Haodong's own words, and now he was not shocked.

Ma Daochang had to admire Chen Haodong for doing this, this is against heaven and earth, this is changing the rules of heaven and earth, if you find out, you will definitely be angry, and licking thunder will scatter Chen Haodong's soul.

"Do you really want to?"

"I've decided, there's nothing to say."

Chen Haodong's eyes decided that Chen Haodong would try it no matter what, so Ma Daochang had no choice but to go down and walk to the hall to tie the paper man.

"Crescent moon, then you stay here for a few days, I'll go to them first."

"I'm afraid, can you stay with me!"

Chen Haodong felt that there was nothing wrong here, and he was pulled by the crescent moon, revealing a frightened expression, and he didn't know whether it was true or false, Chen Haodong actually agreed.

Chen Haodong's idle boredom simply looked at the paper man of Ma Daochang, and the sickle kung fu in his hand was dazzling, and within a while, a bamboo was cut into small bamboo strips, and then the bamboo strips were thrown.

He began to tie it up carefully, first into a human shape, which is also a skeleton, and then pasted it on the cut rice paper on these bamboo strips with a pulp brush.

Brush layer by layer, it's easy to say, it's really hard to do, this needs to be careful, but also experience, and after completing these, you have to wear clothes, that is, paper clothes.

"Ma Daochang, come and smoke a cigarette first, it's hard work."

Then it is to draw the details, the better the details, the better the paper, the better the facial features, I don't know if it's more than three o'clock in the morning, the crescent moon has already crawled on the table and fell asleep

The paper piercing person is not good yet, Chen Haodong saw that Ma Daochang had not rested yet, and handed him a cigarette.

"Didn't I want to be faster? The sooner the crescent moon thing is settled, the better,"

Ma Daochang took the cigarette and sat on the stool in the hall to rest for a while.

"If you don't come out of this gear, you should have helped the crescent moon solve the problem a long time ago."

"People are not as good as heaven, no one knows what will happen in the next moment, but fortunately, I can help the crescent moon solve it."

However, this time the treasure that Chen Haodong got was also very good, and he also did two big things, and he was also very happy, that is, the monk was dead.

In fact, I did this line of work because I expected myself to die, or the people around me died, but when the real came, my heart was also mixed, and after chatting for a long time, Ma Daochang got up and continued to tie the paper man.

"Last night, a few of us waited for you for the night, thinking you would come back, but I didn't expect you to fall asleep here."

The next day, Ma Xiaoxuan and a few people brought breakfast, and they specially went to the town to buy steamed buns and soy milk, sitting on the table, Ma Xiaoxuan complained.

Chen Haodong only cared about eating, looking at a paper piercing man in the hall, with willow eyebrows and big eyes, pink clothes, green library, and a touch of red on his face, which was better than before.

"You're talking, why don't you come back."

"Your dad is here alone, so I have to stay with your dad."

Chen Haodong's eyes rolled and he made an excuse, but he didn't dare to tell the real reason.

"Have you eaten, do you want to sit down and eat a little together?"

Ma Daochang took over the conversation, not wanting to see that he was entangled in the matter of not coming back.

"Xiao Xuan, you will go buy something later, and we will also sacrifice your grandparents in the evening,"

But what Chen Haodong is puzzled about is where is Ma Xiaoxuan's mother? I haven't heard her mention her mother for so long, Chen Haodong just thought about it and didn't ask, after all, this is someone else's family matter.

"Then hurry up and eat, do you want to accompany me to the town to have a look?"

"Okay, it's not going to happen right now, anyway."

When I came out, the weather was dim, there was no sun at all, it was particularly gloomy, and the wind was cold, I didn't expect today's yin to be so heavy.

The town is deserted, on the street, many shops are not open, and the street is empty, which should be the reason why many people do not go out during the Midyear Festival, especially those with children at home, no matter how naughty they usually are.

"Why did your dad call you out? There was no one on the street. ”

The family in the middle of the year will definitely not let the children go out, but it is different in the city, the monkey looks empty, and he doesn't know what Ma Xiaoxuan is doing.

"Buy tribute, the tribute at home is finished for you, and the meat and fruits in the refrigerator yesterday were not all eaten by you alone."

Ma Xiaoxuan looked at the monkey and said lightly, as soon as the monkey heard the tribute, the dishes he ate last night were all tributes, his body trembled slightly, his hands were folded, and he worshipped around, and everyone laughed when he saw it.

However, there are many stalls in the vegetable market that have not been opened, only two or three stalls, and there are not many people, so he soon returned to Ma Xiaoxuan's house, and Ma Daochang went to the kitchen with the things he bought back to prepare for work.

"How about we go and put the river lanterns together in the evening?"

"Isn't it the Mid-Autumn Festival, isn't it the Lantern Festival?"

The monkey glanced at Ma Xiaoxuan, and then said that putting lights on the lights is entertainment, what lights are put on the Midyear Festival.

The river lantern is also called "lotus lantern", the river lantern is generally placed on the base lamp or candle, and placed in the river, lake and sea in the middle of the night, let it drift. The river lantern is released on the mid-year festival, which is said to be from the upper yuan festival.

The lantern custom of the Lantern Festival evolved. Folk believe that Shangyuan is the festival of people, Zhongyuan is the festival of ghosts, people are yang, ghosts are yin, land is yang, and water is yin, so Shangyuan Zhang Lantern is on land, and Zhongyuan is in the water.

The darkness of the water is mysteriously dark, reminiscent of the legendary Netherworld Hell, where ghosts sink. Therefore, the Shangyuan lantern is on land, and the Zhongyuan lantern is in the water.

Today's river lanterns have become a joyful activity. According to the rules of the Bon festival of Buddhism, the river lantern is only one of the small programs, and it does not seem to be very important. In the folk Zhongyuan festival activities, it is more important to put out lights

In fact, in some places, there are also sky lanterns, of course, this custom existed in the past, but later with the development of society, many customs disappeared with time.

"I see, let's go together that night, so that we can pay tribute to our ancestors."

The monkey suddenly realized that this was the case, chatting and chatting while hearing firecrackers outside, and kept thinking about it.

"They're worshipping their ancestors, and we'll go later, are you all together?"

"No, you go."

Chen Haodong didn't even think about refusing, others went to worship their ancestors, and what did he think about in the past.

Ten minutes later, Ma Xiaoxuan followed his father out with the basket, and Chen Haodong then walked out and went to the crescent moon hometown to see, in fact, it was not very far from here, and it took about ten minutes to arrive with navigation in the car.

There was a cry around the foot of the mountain just now, and the firecrackers have not stopped until now, and Chen Haodong's ears have been blown up. One after another, there were people carrying baskets ready to go to worship their ancestors, or come back.

"When is there a new grave here?"

The family is in good condition and burned the paper people, or the paper house, but this scene is basically not seen in the city, just arrived at the door of the house, and saw a grave next to it, and there are wreaths in front of the grave, flowers, and the soil has just been pushed up.

"More is more, there are more people in this world."

After walking in, I found that there was nothing left, and I remember that the monk said that it was arranged here, and it seemed that the formation had to be rearranged.

Chen Haodong returned to Ma Xiaoxuan's house and found that they had already returned, Chen Haodong asked Ma Daochang if the things were ready.

"Everything you want is here, if you need me to do something, just ask, I will do my best to help you."

Ma Daochang took Chen Haodong to a bedroom, the whole bedroom was decorated with magic weapons, magic medicines and the like, and there were two buckets of black dog blood on the ground.

"Thank you very much."

Chen Haodong didn't know how Ma Daochang prepared so quickly, after all, he hadn't come back from last night until now, and he had been sticking paper people.

After the chief of the horse left, Chen Haodong called the monkey over and asked him to learn the doorways and ways here, and he had a long insight.

"Soak the ink fountain line on the ink fountain in the blood of the black dog, remember to soak it all,"

Chen Haodong commanded the monkey to do it, and he picked up the wolf pen and began to draw talismans.

"Ink fountain? I've seen this on TV, but I didn't expect that reality can also ward off evil spirits. ”

The monkey asked as he busied himself with his work.

"Some things on TV are also true, ink buckets, Lu Ban rulers, are left by Lu Banshi, in fact, Lu Ban also taught, is one of the sacrificial gods in the Spring and Autumn Period, he invented the Lu Ban ruler, ink buckets have the effect of warding off evil spirits, okay, don't talk about it, you don't know if you talk too much."

Chen Haodong only explained a little, and he didn't understand the monkey if he said too much, and there were so many deeds of Lu Banshi, when would he be able to finish it.

The monkey seemed to enjoy listening to it, but Chen Haodong didn't want to say anything, so he picked up the wolf pen and dipped it in cinnabar and began to draw symbols on the yellow mounted paper.

"Brother Chen, I've helped you get through the black dog blood."

The monkey walked up to Chen Haodong and watched him draw talismans, so fast. One by one, they are placed aside,

"Brother Chen, do you want me to help you paint."

"Just look at it, you haven't arrived home yet,"

Chen Haodong is telling the truth, don't look so simple to draw talismans, there are a lot of doors and doorways inside, and they are painted with Taoism, otherwise why some people draw talismans with different powers, the difference is very different.

After a long time, the sound of eating came downstairs, Chen Haodong simply cleaned up and then went downstairs, his head was a little dizzy when he just got up, and the Tao consumed too much.

"Brother Chen, you're fine."

"It's okay, let's go and eat."

The monkey held Chen Haodong and asked worriedly
