Ye Yingchen listened to Su Ling's words, and instantly felt that his braincase was big.

"What? Ghost jumped into the world? Or a lot?!! ”

Su Ling nodded, then looked at his angry appearance and shook his head and busily disassociated himself from this matter.

"I can tell you, this time it was your people from the underworld who hooked up with humans to make such a thing, you don't blame me! I'm a victim too, and my house is still in shambles! You're going to give me a little mental damage...... "The words are not coarse, friendship is friendship, but the matter of money is still the same thing......

Listening to Su Ling's words, Ye Yingchen instantly became serious, he got up and looked at Su Ling, his eyes were full of surging black gas.

"Are you sure it's the human who bought me off the underworld?"

Su Ling nodded seriously after hearing this, "It's confirmed, it's the Yin soldier who guards the wild soul, it is estimated that he is a little tight in money to make such a thing, but fortunately, the people who are released are some wild ghosts who will not hurt people, and it is not too big ......."

However, before Su Ling could finish speaking, Ye Yingchen disappeared in front of him, leaving only the hoes and flat poles on the ground......

After reading it, Su Ling sighed lightly, and silently walked up and rolled up his sleeves......

She is also really helpless, if it weren't for this big face to put the ghost in the human world, how could she come here to find hardship, and don't say this kind of thing, she doesn't like trouble at home even if she waters the flowers and plants, but now she is here to roll up her sleeves and become a farmer......

The envoys had Su Ling, who was helpless, and she couldn't call on the white ghosts like Ye Mingchen, so she could only exchange for such a condition......

It is said that after Su Ling returned to the prince's mansion with two dark circles under his eyes after being tired all night, he looked at the night and morning when he was chatting and drinking tea with Pu Xingwen in the courtyard......

Su Ling walked up to them suspiciously, picked up the entire teapot and poured it into the corner of his mouth......

"Why are you two talking?" Su Ling drank it and wiped the water stains on the corner of his mouth with his sleeve.

Seeing her with two dark circles under her eyes, you knew that she was really not lazy last night.

"I'm talking to Brother Pu about living in the human world for a long time, and I'm asking which house here is good and I want to buy one."

"Buying a house?" Su Ling raised his eyebrows lightly, "Why did you suddenly want to live in the world?" I remember you never thought of this before," Su Ling asked and sat down directly.

"It's not about the wandering spirits, I did catch a lot of them last night, but some of them jumped to the houses of people nearby, and they will definitely not show their heads during the day, so it's probably impossible to catch them all at once, I've set up an enchantment around here, they can't run out, and I can only wait until the night to act."

Hearing this, Su Ling suddenly realized, "So you want to live in the human world for a long time?" Tut-tut, you should have come a long time ago, I told you that everything in this world is good, I have persuaded you for so long, this is finally you came up for a trip, I will definitely take you to appreciate the beauty of this world! ”

Night, "...... I'm a ghost hunter ......."

Su Ling heard this, "Catch ghosts, catch ghosts, it doesn't affect or conflict, don't worry, I will take you to a place you've never been to before!" ”

Listening to Su Ling's excited voice, Ye Yingchen suddenly had a bad feeling, although the content of Su Ling's words sounded very moving, but this tone made it difficult for him to accept, as if she had been plotting for a long time......

In the next few days, Ye Mingchen was led by Su Ling to go shopping in the market during the day and hunt ghosts in the middle of the night.

During the day, Su Ling originally said that he would come to see the intangible cultural heritage of mankind with the night and the morning, but who knew that in the blink of an eye, he was brought into Yihong Courtyard.

"This, that's what you call intangible cultural heritage?!!"

Ye Mingchen was surrounded by several enthusiastic girls at the moment, seeing that the girls were up and down on him, where could Ye Mingchen just give in, he had retained his virginity for so many years, and he must not let Su Ling be defeated like this.

"Girls, please respect yourself! Dead weight! Ye Mingchen was as firm as an old monk, pushed the girls to the side, and turned around to leave.

Who knows, but Su Ling was caught again.

"Where to go? I'm here to show you the intangible cultural heritage, how can you run away halfway? Su Ling said with a frown.

Ye Mingchen pushed her hand away, "Are you taking me here to see culture?" You're here to make me lose my virginity! ”

There is Su Ling: "...... How are you like a scholar? With that, he forcibly pulled him into Yihong Courtyard, and along the way, Su Ling raised his hand and pushed back the girls who were about to come up to them.

After beckoning and explaining some things to the bustard, he took Ye Mingchen into an elegant room.

Smelling the smell of red dust all over the house, the more uncomfortable it became to sit in the morning, looking at Su Ling, who was waiting patiently, he couldn't help but ask.

"You came to this kind of place, Ziye, does he know?"

Su Ling was slightly puzzled when he heard this, "Does he know what it has to do with me?" Isn't that why you want me to bring him all the way? ”

Night Dawn: "...... Still don't need it...... "If the night and the morning come, maybe he will be uncomfortable here."

"What the hell are you waiting for? I'll tell you first, I don't want all that mess," Ye Mingchen said silently.

Of course, Su Ling knew the meaning of his words, and raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, it's not a girl, who told you that you must come to this kind of place just to find a girl?" ”

"What else can you do in a snowy place like not looking for a girl?" Ye Yingchen spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed the door and several girls entered, all holding exquisite dishes in their hands......

After the people who served the dishes were withdrawn, Ye Mingchen looked at the table full of dishes in amazement.

“…… This is what you call intangible cultural heritage...... "He never thought about it, but he didn't expect that Su Ling actually came to Yihong Courtyard for dinner!" This is indeed the first one, right......

Su Ling listened to it and disagreed, "Otherwise, what do you think?" Let me tell you, these dishes and this wine are really included in the intangible cultural heritage, try it, it's really delicious! With that, I couldn't wait to gobble it up.

"Let me tell you, I've been in the human world for so long, the food here is very appetizing, this bustard is also very good at business, and when the dishes are done and accompanied by beauties, how can this business be bad!"

Ye Mingchen: "......", the Yihong Courtyard, was forced by her to become a paradise on earth.

"Is it really that delicious? Have I ever eaten human food? Ye Mingchen looked at the exquisite dishes on the table in confusion.

Su Ling didn't beep with him, and Lai Lai directly handed him a glass of wine, "Drink this first, warm your stomach, and then eat these, it's almost like flying into the sky!" ”

Seeing that Su Ling was eating so much, he tried to eat a little bit in the morning......

However, it was this taste that he suddenly felt the rainbow of life, and the taste of this dish was different from everything he had eaten in the underworld, and he really didn't know how to express it except for the delicious taste.

You Su Ling looked at Ye Mingchen's touched face and chuckled, "How about it, this thing is better than those insect corpses you ate in the underworld." ”

Ye Mingchen nodded frantically after hearing this, "What is this wrapped in lotus leaves?" It's so delicious, it makes me feel like I've lived for thousands of years in vain! ”

After hearing this, Su Ling looked at the dish in front of him and replied, "This is called flower chicken, also known as Changshu called Hua chicken and simmered chicken, which is to wrap the processed chicken with soil and lotus leaves." Its color is red and bright, fragrant, crispy and tender, the entrance is crispy and fat, and the flavor is unique. ”

"And this, try it, this is a soup-filled xiaolongbao, the skin is thin and translucent, open your mouth and take a bite, the delicious juice inside flows into the mouth, bite the meat soaked in juice, not fat or greasy, the entrance is fresh...... That's beautiful! There is also this, the peak of the purple camel comes out of the green cauldron, and the plate of the water spirit is lined with plain scales; The rhinoceros has not been eaten for a long time, and the luan knife is hollow; The yellow door is not moving, and the imperial kitchen is sending eight treasures! ”

Ye Yingchen looked at the various foods handed over by Su Ling, and was instantly dazzled.

"Let me tell you, there is more to this world than this, the most important thing is that they have many festivals!"

"What is a festival?" Ye Mingchen asked, drinking the soup.

There is Su Ling: "...... Do you really know nothing......" Then she can only silently pity this second fool who doesn't know anything, but then again, this is a normal underworld person, after all, who wouldn't be like her, desperate to run outside......

"It's a very special day, and it's a set of days every year, but in this case, you should know about the Midyear Festival, right? Is that your internal festival? Su Ling looked at Ye Yingchen suspiciously, but looking at his puzzled and hesitant appearance, Su Ling knew a rough idea, this Hades King is estimated to just sit in this seat, and other things should not be taken care of......

"Zhongyuan Festival is commonly known as the Day of the Dead, July and a half, is the ancient traditional festival of our country, and Qingming Festival, Winter Clothes Festival and called the three major ghost festivals, legend has it that the underground palace is in charge of the gate of hell, the Zhongyuan Festival this heaven and earth palace opens the gate of hell, but also the day of the opening of hell, the deceased ancestors can go home for reunion, so it is the Ghost Festival, so the folk should set up a dojo, put steamed buns for the lonely soul and wild ghosts to eat, this day to worship the ancestors, go to the grave, light the lotus lamp for the deceased to light the way home. The Taoist temple holds a grand puja to pray for auspicious blessings, and the content is to transcend the soul of the deceased. ”

Moreover, the mid-year festival is also called the ancestor worship festival, and the folk believe that the ancestors will also return home to visit their children and grandchildren at this time, so they need to worship the ancestors. The worship ceremony is usually held in the evening before the end of July and is not limited to a specific day.

On ordinary days, we have to worship our ancestors, and we generally do not touch the tablets of our ancestors. When the ancestors are worshiped in the "half of July", the tablets of the ancestors should be invited out one by one, respectfully placed on the offering table specially for worship, and then incense is inserted in front of the tablet of each ancestor, and tea and rice are offered three times every morning, noon and dusk until the third day of July is returned. If there is a portrait of the ancestors, please hang it up.

During the worship, according to the order of generation and seniority, kowtow to each ancestor, pray silently, report to the ancestors and ask the ancestors to examine their words and deeds this year, and bless themselves with peace and happiness.

When it is returned, it is called burning paper money and clothes, which is called burning coatings, or the transcendent rituals of Buddhism or Taoism.

Ye Mingchen nodded after hearing this, "I seem to know a little bit about this, but these things are usually done by the ghosts below, so I haven't taken care of it much......"

There is Su Ling: "......" Could this be the legendary handshaker......

"But it's a coincidence that tomorrow is the Midyear Festival, why don't we go and see it tomorrow?" She has never seen the mid-year festival in the world, in the past, when she was in the twilight city, everyone thought it was a reluctance, basically no one cared about this mid-year festival, and finally arrived at the ancient times, this thing was still preserved, how to see it......

Ye Yingchen's brows furrowed slightly, "What's so nice about this?" It's not like you haven't seen a ghost, if you want to see it, go to me, and it's no problem to see it every day. ”

There is Su Ling: "......" is different, okay......

And a few days before the Midyear Festival, there are those who sell dead utensils, those who sell fresh melons and fruits, and those who sell oil cakes, pies, quiches, and rich cakes, which are colorful and endless. There is also the custom of placing lamps on the water, which means to attract lonely ghosts in the water to enjoy the sacrifice. The children played with the lotus lanterns tied with paper, and the big ones were seven or eight feet long, which was eye-catching. There is an endless stream of people who go outside the city to pay homage to the tomb.

That is, the next day, I caught a ghost all night last night, and I couldn't hold it anymore, but Su Ling was extremely excited, and pulled Pu Xingwen to the street.

On this day, someone set up a mage seat and a solitary platform in front of Jiekou Village in advance.

In front of the mage's seat is the Jizo King Bodhisattva, who has a ghost of "hell", and below is a plate of peaches and rice made from a plate of noodles.

There are three spirit tablets and spirit flags standing on the Shi Gu platform, after noon, each family has put the whole pig, the whole sheep, the chicken, the duck, the goose and all kinds of hair cakes, fruits, melons and fruits on the Shi Gu platform.

The presiding officer planted a blue, red, and green pennant on each offering, with the words "Olan Festival" and "Manna Gate Open" written on it.

The ceremony begins with a solemn stream of temple music. Immediately afterwards, the Venerable Master rang the bell and led the monks to recite various mantras and mantras.

Then apply the food, scatter a plate of peaches and rice in all directions, repeat three times. This ritual is called "flame venting".

Pu Xingwen took a turn outside, except for some things that he hadn't seen before, he hadn't seen anything rare, and he saw that the sky was about to get dark, so he pulled Su Ling and was about to go home, he knew that this Midyear Festival, the night walk of a hundred ghosts was not a joke......

However, Su Ling pulled him back.

"Run for what? Isn't there me even if it's a hundred ghosts walking at night this night? What to scare away? I can tell you, if you go back, you may encounter more ghosts, and there is me here, and there will only be ghosts when you go home~"

Pu Xingwen: "......" said that he would not dare to turn off the lights and sleep at night in the future......

At night, every household seen on the street burns incense in front of their house and puts the incense on the ground, the more the better, symbolizing the abundant harvest of the five grains, which is called "cloth field".

There is also the so-called Krathong, which is a small wooden board tied to a lamp, most of which are made of colored paper in the shape of lotus flowers, called "water and drought lanterns", according to the traditional saying, Krathong is to guide those who have died unjustly. The lights went out, and the Krathong completed the task of luring the souls across the bridge.

At night, the shops are closed, giving way to ghosts. In the middle of the street, every 100 steps there is an incense table, on which there are fresh melons and fruits and a kind of "ghost bun". Behind the table, there are Taoist priests singing ghost songs that people don't understand. This ritual is called "Shi Ge'er".

All the day before all the day in the underworld shop to buy gold and silver paper clothes, river silver, ingots and other imperatives, put in a paper bag, sealed, commonly known as "burden", choose the day in the afternoon with livestock, fruit to worship the ancestors, worship the end of the incineration of the imperatives, commonly known as "burning clothes". At nightfall, they will sacrifice all kinds of utensils, rice, wine, and incense paper in front of the door to give the ghost of the ownerless. After the sacrifice is burned, the sacrifice is left outside the door and not withdrawn, commonly known as "burning the ghost"

Pu Xing couldn't help frowning when he saw that all the families were holding sacrificial activities such as wine, meat, sugar cakes, and fruits in front of them.

"What are they doing here? Is it still like the kind of feudalism in the old days, do you believe it? ”

Su Ling shook his hand and slapped him on the head, "It's just a tradition of theirs, just like the tradition in one of your families, you can't look at this kind of thing from your perspective, people are just the products of respecting the times, and it doesn't mean anything, if you want to say it, it really means respect for their ancestors." ”

This way of sacrificing wine and meat is to comfort the ghosts of the families who play in the world, and also to pray for their own safety and success throughout the year. During this time, some people will ask Buddha statues such as Jizo Bodhisattva and Muren Venerable to place high platforms, or ask artists to play the role of the exorcist god Zhong Kui, to eliminate the anger of the deceased. ”

After listening to Su Ling's introduction, Pu Xingwen thought of Ye Mingchen again, "Isn't there a person who specializes in managing ghosts?" Why do you let ghosts run up? ”

Su Ling covered his forehead: "This is probably the promise made by the underworld to the Protoss in order to protect itself, probably the underworld helps manage the human world, and to say that management is actually to make the Protoss a master who can really control the human world." ”

"What do you mean by this, but in fact, human beings can't actually control anyone? So why do people in our world always pray that the God of heaven will save them and bless them? ”

"Maybe it's because one of the effects that has been caused for too long in the past is that God is the master of mankind, just because maybe at some point God used his power to help people, and this thing happened to be seen by another group of people, so God was pushed to a high position in this way, so that now people will seek God's blessing whenever they encounter something particularly unpleasant."
