Orthodox Taoist disciple Xiao Ye and Yin Yang Eye Xiaoye have been well known to everyone, it happens to be the Midyear Festival recently, and it just happened to be a story of the 2013 Midyear Festival, here I will strike while the iron is hot, and then a 2014 Midyear Festival, this time the matter is twists and turns, ups and downs, and it took a few days to solve this matter. Originally, I planned to put this case into a later one, but for the sake of consistency, everyone seems to have a stronger sense of cognition, so let's write it out in advance.

First of all, let's talk about the Zhongyuan Festival, the saying of the Zhongyuan Festival was first from Taoism, and Buddhism called it the Bon Festival, and in ancient China, it was called Shangyuan, Zhongyuan, and Xia Yuan on the fifteenth day of January, July, and October: Shangyuan is the day of blessing of heavenly officials, Zhongyuan is the day of forgiveness of sins by local officials, and Xia Yuan is the day of water officials to relieve misfortune. Therefore, it will be in the middle of the Yuan to purify the lonely soul and wild ghosts. Taoists believe in three gods and three gods. The three gods refer to the three gods of heaven, earth and water, also called the three officials, and the local officials are called Zhongyuan Erpin forgiveness officials. It is rumored that the local officials will come to the world on the Midyear Festival, that is, in the middle of July, to forgive the sins of the ghosts, and to abstain from the blessings of the sins, and at the same time the door of the ghosts is wide open. As for whether the magistrates really exist or will come to the world, I don't know, because I haven't seen it either.

Many friends think that the midyear festival is only half a day in July, but in fact, in the south, the whole month of July is called the ghost month. So many people think that the whole month of July is Halloween. Some places are also called Shi Gu, saying that from the beginning of July, the king of Hades will let the deceased ancestors return to the world for half a month, so some places will retain the custom of picking up the ancestors at the beginning of July and sending the ancestors in the middle of July. And some places say that the midyear festival is seven days before and after the seventh and a half days, there are many sayings, but they also have their own exquisiteness, as for the midyear festival is how many days, to be honest, I can't give an accurate answer, because the region is different, the saying and customs are also different. It can be said that there is no one definite answer to this matter, but I can be sure that in the first half of July, some souls will indeed be added in vain to the world, and after July 16, it will basically return to normal, so I think that July 16 is the end point, and July 15 is the date of the main festival, so the range of the midyear festival should be on the 14th, 15th, and 6th days. This is just talking about the scope of the festival and not talking about the ghost month, and it is not that only these three days will the soul appear. In fact, from the beginning of the month, there will be some souls coming out of another world, but ordinary people can't see or feel it, so as long as we don't go to the yin places at midnight, then the Midyear Festival has no effect on us. Don't be too scared, just go about your life. Most ghosts only come to the human world for a visit, and basically have no effect on people, and they also have their own constraints.

This time the matter is an exception, speaking of which, this was originally Xiao Ye's task, and he didn't finish it like last time, so he contacted me again.

Early in the morning of the thirteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar last year (2014), Xiao Ye called me and asked if I was free. I wondered why he came to me so soon so soon after he had just finished working with me on that wig factory last month. I said: "Whether I have time or not depends on what you decide, things have a priority, if you just want to talk to me, then I definitely don't have time to ......" Xiao Ye said: "Don't make trouble, to be serious, this time I met the fierce again, and it was very troublesome, I was a little helpless." "Okay, master, you tell me" He may have really encountered something, so he will talk on the phone so seriously.

Xiao Ye cleared his throat and said, "Before I came, I thought it was just an ordinary ghost, but after coming here to see it, I found that it was difficult to deal with the strength of the two of us. ”

"Wait, you say you can't handle it? Who else? "I'm puzzled again, that kid is the same as me, he has been a lone ranger since the day he left school, and he hasn't looked for anyone else except for me, how can there be an extra person suddenly this time.

He smiled and said, "There is also a little junior brother, who has not yet left the school, and the master said to come out and practice it, so I will take him with me." But don't worry, although he hasn't been a teacher, he has a good talent, please do things like you, he has a lot of ideas, and he will definitely not hold us back. ”

I said, "I don't mean that at all, tell me, why are you helpless about this?" ”

Xiao Ye said hehehe: "I'm sorry, my villain's heart, this time the subject is a company that builds a highway, and one of their detachments is building a road next to a village, but a lot of things happened in the past two days, and a few people in their night shift have a high fever for no reason, and many things in the construction site are missing for no reason. Jumping up and down near their mud trucks at night. I believe in these statements, it's the Midyear Festival, even if someone can see a lot of ghosts together, it's not a strange thing, but it stands to reason that the ghosts that come out of the Midyear Festival are all constrained by the Yin Difference, which is already very bold for people to see, not to mention that it makes so many people have a high fever. So I feel that the high fever should have nothing to do with that group of ghosts, and there should be only one source of this matter... ”

"Wait a minute, what are the ghosts you're talking about?" Because the matter must be related to this group of ghosts, not as simple as he said, otherwise, Xiao Ye would not say that he is helpless now. Since it is related to this group of ghosts, I must know how many of them before I can have a substantive idea of what is going to happen next, although I wonder why this group of ghosts is not bound by the Yin Ambition.

"I asked the worker who said he saw a lot of ghosts, he said about five or six, last night I went to look near the mud truck, opened my eyes twice, only saw four, I think there are only five at most, but even three I and my junior brother have a hard time getting together, they are not ordinary ghosts, they should be out of the midyear festival this time, it must be because of some reason out of the control of the yin. This kind of ghost who wants to get rid of even the control of the shadows, there is no reason to talk about it, so he can only see the truth with them. So I think even though it's me and my junior brother, I still don't feel like there's any chance of winning, so I ask if you're willing to help with this. Of course, people build high-speed large companies, and they can't afford our remuneration, as long as you come, you are satisfied. ”

I thought about it for a while, and said in a bright manner: "Hearing you say this, it's very dangerous, I, as your eldest brother, of course have to help you bear some of it." I decided to take a look, as for the remuneration or something, I don't really care, but you can still talk about how much it is, and they are all rich in government projects. If you ask for more price, you can be regarded as robbing the rich and helping the poor. ”

He laughed and looked very happy: "I naturally understand this truth, since you agreed, it will be easy to do, and there is another thing I can tell you." Haha......"

I felt like I was being trapped again, and said in a deep voice: "You kid is yin to me again." "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just because the tunnel was dug here, and a small magnetite was dug up, and the place where the accident happened to be near the tunnel, so I guess your broken compass won't be used here, haha......"

"Is that something to be happy about?" I'm a little displeased, this is a trivial matter, the compass can't be used why should I go, I can't find the location without the compass, what should I do if I don't have a specific location?

He said: "So, smart I have thought of two ways for you, the first is that we use the method of shouting souls to clean up one by one, and the other way is that you waste more cow tears, and I also forcibly open my eyes, although the duration is short, but we break each one, just like you said last time in the wig factory." What do you think of my two approaches? ”

"No, it's not practical to shout souls at all, they're all together, can you do it one at a time? And even if you could, you thought that if you called out one, the other ghosts would turn a blind eye to which one you received? Besides, the ghosts that came out of the underworld are shouted by us little Taoist priests who are rudimentary? The second method is even worse, I wipe the cow's tears and see the soul for no more than half a pillar of incense, your eye-opening spell must be shorter than mine, they are all underworld ghosts, in such a short time, even if you can get one or two, but after the time passes, it will become fish on the knife. If I'm not mistaken, you think you need to rest for at least half an hour at a time, right? "I immediately denied his two methods, this is a method that has not gone through the brain at all, Xiao Ye actually came up with a plan. I don't know if I'm too smart or if he's too stupid.

"Oh...... There is some truth in what you said" Xiao Ye said in a tone of sudden realization, and then said: "If only we had yin and yang eyes, then these would not be a problem." ”<
