Chapter 48: A Hundred Days of Blessing

It was one day nine years ago, and Mama Yang took two-year-old Li Yuqing to the temple to pick up the pendant.

The Zhai Dynasty advocated Buddhism, and after the child was born, the parents or elders would wear it with a red thread pendant and wear it for 100 days, which is called 100 days of blessing.

Most of the dignitaries in the family will wear valuables, such as jade, precious stones, precious wood, etc. The poor family will put on the old copper coin grinding Zhen Liang at home, or pick out some of the old favorites that have been heirlooms for many years, polish and depict a pattern and hang it, this kind of pendant that has added popularity and lasted for a long time is also excellent.

The baby's pendant must be picked when it is not born, and it must be worn as soon as it is born, and it must be worn for a full 100 days, which means that it will lock in a long life. It is also forbidden to take a bath, and if you pick it, it is a taboo and it is to reduce your life, so the baby is taken care of by the closest person for 100 days, so as not to be accidentally manipulated by people who hate you.

Even the red rope with the hanging object is made of thousands of selected materials, and is tanned by parents or elders themselves. The young new parents made hundreds of red ropes, and it was very difficult to find one from that pile in the end.

In short, this 100-day blessing is extremely important, and I don't know where to start, and the reason for the time is not exquisite.

The pendant is worn for a hundred days, the red thread is kept, and the pendant will be sent to the temple, and the pendant is contaminated with the children's initial breath, which means that they have their own masters.

Monks from all over the country chant sutras and pray for blessings, wait for two years, and then go to the temple to pick them up and put them on, and then there is a blessing on the pendant, and the children will be blessed with peace and health when they wear it.

Back then, Mama Yang took Li Yuqing to pick up the pendant, which was a piece of precious jade, in the shape of a droplet, which was prepared by the ancestors of the Zhou family for the descendants of the Zhou family.

The temple is surrounded by sandalwood, and there is an endless stream of devotees coming and going, most of whom come to fetch pendants for babies.

They are well-dressed and pious, and they may not believe in Buddhism, but they are related to the health and longevity of their descendants.

Maybe blood relatives are like this, no matter how much disdain and dislike, they also have a hard head for their children.

Mama Yang took the jade in the hall with Li Yuqing in her arms, put on a few more incense injections, and donated some sesame oil money, and then walked out of the temple with a relaxed face.

After the water drop jade was carefully looked at by Mama Yang, she carefully wrapped it in a thick and soft cloth, strung it with red thread and hung it in Li Yuqing's clothes.

Li Yuqing got up early in the morning, children were easy to sleepy, and Mama Yang fell asleep after holding and walking for a while.

Mama Yang is a woman, with a small child alone, and she didn't pick a busy street when she went back.

Even in a peaceful and prosperous era, there are still abductors, and it is easy to push and shove when there are many people, how can families stand falling and injuring children?

So I chose a road that would neither be remote nor bustling, and Mama Yang walked forward quickly and steadily.

In front of him was a young man in an earthy blue cloth, with a sturdy figure and a steady walk, his black and oily hair tied up high and shining in the bright spring sun.

Mama Yang muttered to herself in her heart, this person's hair is good, and it is even rarer for a man to have such good hair.

Although I was a little curious, I continued to walk quickly and steadily.

Turning the corner to the mouth of a small alley, the alley is not long, but it is sparsely populated.

But I chose to take this street, and this alley is the only way to go back to the house. Sometimes it's always difficult to plan well, so the alley is not long, and you can pass it quickly with a quick walk.

The man went into the alley too.

Mama Yang hesitated, this is really a coincidence, this alley is rarely visited, and it is said to be haunted. But she is not afraid, she is not afraid, she does not believe in these things.

Didn't Mo come with her on purpose? Only then did he come up with this idea, and instantly denied it, this young man had been walking in front of her and had not turned back, not to mention that he had gone into the alley first, how could he be sure that she had also gone in?

Thinking like this, he felt that it was just a coincidence, so he strode towards the alley, wanting to go back quickly.

There were only three people in the alley, and the footsteps of the two were clear.

The road is made of bluestone slabs one by one, because it has years, and has been exposed to the sun and rain, decayed and worn, walking on it in addition to the sound of footsteps, there is also the creaking and clicking sound of the stone slab displacement.

The sound bounced on the two walls of the narrow alley, and spread to the entire alley like a lake wave.

The moss growing at the foot of the wall was full of life, and the smell of decay and dampness floated in the air.

It looks like no one has passed by in a long time.

Mama Yang sniffled uncomfortably, looked at this barren and decaying environment, and frowned.

I heard a clear voice again, as if it was getting closer and closer from a distance, and finally crawled to her ear and whispered, my throat couldn't help rolling, my hair stood up, and a dense cold sweat climbed behind her, hugged Li Yuqing in my arms, covered her ears, and hurried forward.

Go faster!

Mama Yang shouted like this in her heart, her steps got faster, and she walked forward, regretting that she chose this alley, who knew it was so scary!

Mama Yang's pace quickened, but the young man who came in earlier was still at the same pace, and after a while, Mama Yang was about to catch up with him.

Mama Yang looked at the young man a few steps away, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, following the company, she was not so scared after all, and she was a little bolder.

She just begged the two of them to walk out of the alley like this now, and these strange places should not come next time!

Eat a sting, grow a wisdom. Many people say this, there must be a certain reason, no matter how unbelieving, you must be in awe, and you can't try it easily.

Suddenly, the young man fell to the ground, face up.

Mama Yang was so frightened that she suddenly staggered back a few steps, and the cold sweat that had not yet dried became even more fierce, covering her mouth tightly, and desperately swallowing the screams that were about to overflow in her throat.

My sister is still asleep, wake her up, and see this thing, isn't it a nightmare?

This young man is a ghost!

Mama Yang was shocked and scared, the sweat on her forehead had been fascinated into her eyes, sour and stinging, but she didn't dare to close her eyes or rub them, for fear that if she closed her eyes and let go of her hand, this ghost would pounce on her and her sister!

It's okay to eat her, but what about my sister?

Mama Yang trembled and hugged her sister and stepped back, and after a few steps, she lost her strength and sat down on the ground limply.

She hugged her sister tightly, her body covered her sister without revealing anything, and her eyes looked fiercely at the "ghost" in front of her, fierce and fierce, trying to scare "him" away.

I saw that the "ghost" had the body of a young man, with thick black hair, revealing the neck and hands outside the clothes, revealing the flexibility and luster of young skin, but the face was the face of a centenarian, the skin was loose and saggy, and the folds were layered, like human skin from somewhere.

The eyes are blood-red, the eyes are fierce, the lips squirm, as if to say something, the limbs shake slightly but there is not much movement, as if they can't get up.

Mama Yang realized that this "ghost" might not be able to move temporarily, her tense heart relaxed, she took a deep breath to calm the fear in her heart, and wanted to recover her strength and leave quickly!

Mama Yang trembled slightly and got up, planning to pass by this "ghost" and continue to walk forward, and a quarter of it will be at the end of the alley, it is not cost-effective to reflexively go to the loop, for fear that something will happen again, it is the right thing to leave this ghost alley as soon as possible.
