Chapter 2216: Sacrifice to the Sea

Zhong Lao Liu agreed, went in a hurry, and contacted the old men with high prestige among the fishermen to arrange the worship of the sea god tomorrow. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, Zhong Laoliu is a little younger, and he can't preside over the major event of worshipping the sea god alone.

The land of Qilu is the hometown of Confucius and the hometown of etiquette. Therefore, all kinds of worship activities are more complicated than in other places, and the procedures are numerous. What did Confucius do? is not only the ancestor of the teacher, but also specializes in etiquette. Walking, sleeping, and eating, Confucius was particular about it, not sitting on the seat, not eating the meat, this is Confucius's etiquette......

Influenced by Confucius, the various activities in the land of Qilu are relatively orthodox and complex.

Because the time was relatively rushed, Zhong Laoliu and the others almost stayed awake all night, so they reluctantly arranged the preparations for the next day's activities.

The next morning, the beach was crowded and very lively.

The sea worship activities here are very complicated, and the sea god worshiped is well known, the dragon king.

The sea festival is also in front of the Dragon King Temple on the beach.

The three animals to be sacrificed had already been prepared, and they were chickens and fishes and black-haired pigs. The pig had already been slaughtered, and its whole body had been stripped of hair, except for a small handful of black hair on its neck, and the red silk cloth was knotted on the pig's body, and a saffron belt was draped on the pig's head.

In addition to the three animals, there are also steamed noodles and steamed buns. This is a dough sculpture handicraft, which is very large, and each one has three or four catties. The shape is rich, there are fairy peach buns, panlong buns, round flower buns and other patterns. It is then depicted with edible paints, which looks realistic.

All the offerings are placed on the incense table in front of the temple, and then the Taiping text is written on yellow table paper.

Because the leader of the future going to sea is the head of the ghost road, this time the Taiping Wenshu was written by the head of the ghost road himself. The payment is also the pseudonym of the ghost chief, Lin Baiyun, a certain year, a certain month, a certain day.

After this Taiping text is written, write the couplet.

The couplet was also written by the ghost Taoist, who first wrote the couplet on both sides of the Dragon King Temple: "The sea does not raise waves, and the water is peaceful." ”

Then there are five more single frames.

The first single sheet was written and pasted on the first mast of the fleet: "The Great General is majestic"; The second single panel, pasted on the second mast: "The second general is majestic." ”; Then there was the third boat, on which was posted "Three Generals Sending Each Other Downwind";

Then the bow of the head ship is pasted with a single banner: "The bow of the ship travels a thousand miles without waves"; The stern of the stern boat corresponds to it, and a single banner is pasted: "The stern of the ship is a thousand miles away".

Then, it is to leap over the dragon gate to seek auspiciousness.

The dragon gate is tied up by the branches and leaves of the pine and cypress, and the door is a heavy eaves type, very tall, three zhang wide and two zhang high. Tie the frame with wooden poles first, and then tie it with fresh pine and cypress branches. Plaques are hung on the door, and on both sides are banners with patterns such as two dragons playing with pearls and fish leaping over the dragon gate, which is festive and dignified.

The ghost chief took the lead and led everyone to walk under the pine and cypress gate, which means that the fish jumped over the dragon gate, and it was smooth sailing after that.

Next, there is the queue of fishing boats. All the fishing boats are lined up end to end, with the bow facing the sea and the stern facing the shore, anchored and positioned. The colorful flags of the fishing boats were unfurled, and the fishing gear and nets were neatly placed on the boats, and they were ready to go to sea.

After all this was done, the fishermen swore an oath in front of the Dragon King Temple, expressing their obedience to Uncle Lin's command.

After the oath was finished, firecrackers rang out, and there was jubilation.

The whole ritual is very complicated, but fortunately, the ghost path is old and patient. If you change to Ding Ermiao to do this, you will be so anxious that you vomit blood.

After the sea festival is completed, it is a dinner.

Everyone gathered in three boats to drink wine and eat meat.

After tossing like this for a day, early the next morning, the ghost chief took everyone out to sea.

The ghost Taoist took the first boat, and Zhong Lao Liu took everyone behind.

Of course, on the fishing boat of the ghost chief, there is no need for the chief to do anything if there is another person who arranges to drive the boat.

Zhong Laoliu held a notepad in his hand, drove the boat forward, side by side with the fishing boat of the ghost chief, and asked loudly and excitedly: "Uncle Lin, do you know how many fishing boats there are today, going to sea with you?" ”

The ghost chief's eyes glanced at the fleet behind him, and said, "Including my boat, there are a total of ninety-six boats, some with two or three people, and some with three or four people, a total of two hundred and ninety-six people. ”

"Uncle Lin, how do you know?" Zhong Laoliu was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes and asked.

"Hehe, it was the fortune teller in the dream who told me. He knew you were going to ask me, so he told me first. The Ghost Daoist said.

Zhong Lao Liu was stunned, and he was even more dedicated to Uncle Lin like a god, but he said: "Uncle Lin, close to a hundred fishing boats go to sea, if they can all be full, then you will be five boats of fish in one day!" ”

That's true at a 5% commission.

"You know the math, and in the future, I will share half of you every time." The Ghost Dao Chief laughed.

"Thank you Uncle Lin, thank you Uncle Lin!" Zhong Lao Liu was even more excited, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy.

In this way, Zhong Lao Liu doesn't have to fish by himself, and he can get more than two boatloads of fish every day, why not?

The team of fishing boats, the fish sailed into the sea in an orderly manner.

When approaching the fishing area, the head of the ghost road suddenly issued an order for everyone to pause, and after an hour and a half, they would act again.

Everyone didn't know what they meant, and it was inevitable that there would be some discussions.

The ghost chief waved his hand and said, "The fish haven't come yet, and if we sail into the fishing area, we will only scare the fish away." Wait here for a moment, you can be sure that you will return with a full load. ”

Everyone was a little skeptical, but full of anticipation, and stopped the ship and anchored in place.

After all, they all swore an oath, even if what Uncle Lin said was wrong, everyone had to obey.

An hour and a half later, the Ghost Dao Commander waved his hand and ordered everyone to sail at full speed.

When they arrived at the fishing area, the chief of the ghost road instructed everyone to disperse the boats, advancing them in a crescent shape, and at the same time began to cast their nets to fish.

Everyone complied and began the fishing operation.

This fishing is really different from the past, and the harvest is very rich.

Almost every time it came online, it caused everyone to scream.

Seeing the white fish being caught, everyone was surprised and delighted, like a dream.

But there are so many fishing boats that it's not easy to fill them all.

The Ghost Dao Chief smoked a cigarette and saw that the fish here were almost cleaned up, and then waved his hand and motioned for everyone to move on.

Everyone obediently accepted the guy and followed the Taoist leader.

The Taoist chief was still the same as before, predicting the gathering place of the fish, pinching the time, and leading everyone to surround the past.

After three siege battles, by the evening, the 96 fishing boats that had gone out to sea were basically full. The fishermen were all smiling and pinching their fingers to calculate their catch.

"Turn the rudder and return to ......!" The chief of the ghost path gave the order to go down and let everyone return.

"It's back, it's home!" Zhong Laoliu shouted to everyone with a loudspeaker.
