Chapter 164: Baby Gourd
"Fourth aunt, I'm not a ball, you two kicked me around, you're not tired, I'm tired." Although I like this old way of doing things, I still can't accept kicking me to this sloppy old way so easily. "By the way, just now Wang Daoren said that he planned to let me go shopping with him in the afternoon, so where are we going?" Well, I didn't want to be a ball just now, but at this time I suddenly remembered the old promise, because my own curiosity is relatively strong, so after weighing the pros and cons, I decided to make a ball for the time being.
The fourth aunt said to me very seriously: "Tree, being able to go out with the royal people is an opportunity that many people in my generation dream of, you must cherish this opportunity." "Why do I sound so awkward, isn't it just going out with this bad old man, in retrospect, I was really young and ignorant. Wang Daoren ignored the fourth aunt and me, pinched his fingers with his left hand and calculated, and said to me: "Your name is Jia Shu, and in the future, you will call me Wang Daoren like the fourth aunt." Now the time is just right, how about you and I go out for a walk? Wang Daoren's words instantly made me interested, listening to the words of the fourth aunt just now, it seems that this old way can be calculated if something happens, such an interesting thing is not going, then I'm really sorry for my character, so I nodded at the sloppy old Taoist in front of me in agreement.
The sloppy old man picked up his big gourd from the table, put it behind his back, and walked towards the door of the fourth aunt's house, followed by me. The road was also calm, the old road walked in front, I followed closely, walking, I began to be interested in the big gourd that the old road was carrying. Because Brother Cao is a feng shui master, he always uses gourds, so I still have a certain understanding of gourds.
Gourd: There are many records of gourd in ancient China, and there are many names for its name, such as "gourd", "gourd", "pot", "sweet gourd", "pot lu", and "pulu" all refer to gourd. "Pot" and "Lu" were originally two kinds of utensils for wine and rice, and because the shape and purpose of the gourd are similar to them, people combined "pot" and "Lu" into the word "Hu" as the name of this plant. And "gourd" is colloquial and does not conform to the original meaning. However, later on, people conventionally wrote "gourd", which has continued to this day.
The gourd not only occupies an important position in the material life of the ancient people, but also has a very close relationship with literature, art, religion, folk customs, myths and legends and even politics. China's thousands of years of splendid culture is broad and profound, and the gourd culture has experienced thousands of years of historical accumulation, and still occupies an important position in modern culture with its unique historical origin, profound cultural connotation and broad mass base.
The gourd is one of the most primitive mascots of the Chinese nation, and people often hang it at the door to ward off evil spirits and attract treasures. The branch "vine" of the gourd is homophonic with Wan, and there are many gourd seeds in each mature gourd, and the Han people associate it with "descendants of all generations, lush and auspicious"; The gourd homonym "Hulu" and "Fulu", coupled with its own different forms, beautiful shape, without artificial carving, it will give people a sense of joy and peace, the ancients believed that it can drive away disasters and ward off evil spirits, pray for happiness, and make the descendants prosperous. The sub-waist gourd is composed of two spheres in appearance, symbolizing harmony and happiness, implying mutual respect and love between husband and wife. If the relationship between husband and wife is thin, one can be placed at the head of the bed to strengthen the relationship between husband and wife and increase the relationship between husband and wife. The gourd is also used to remove diseases, and only needs to be hung at the foot of the patient's bed or placed on the patient's sleeping side. You can absorb the sick qi from the patient and make it get better quickly. If you are a healthy person, you can absorb the bad luck in your body and improve your luck. The gourd is hung outside the gate, which has the effect of keeping the people in the house safe.
And the gourd and Taoism also have a very close connection, the Taoist priest wears the gourd, generally contains the Taoist pills, for the purpose of giving medicine to cure diseases, in the wandering Taoist priests are more common. The typical representative inside is the iron canopy plum with a gourd among the eight immortals, which contains the elixir in order to save the world. (Of course, I can't remember it so comprehensively, I just had a general understanding at the time, and this passage was basically a question about Du Niangdi.) "Wang Daoren, what kind of magic weapon is that gourd of yours? "To be honest, I'm genuinely interested in his gourd." You kid was going to call me sloppy and old in the first place. "Wang Daoren directly said what was in my heart, but I was already surprised, after all, none of the people around me were normal. However, I was still a little embarrassed to be asked directly by this sloppy old man, so I laughed a few times to hide the disrespect in my heart, "Tell me about your gourd." "Since I'm more concerned about other people's gourds at the moment, it's better to use this as the best means to divert the topic.
"My gourd?" Wang Daoren glanced at the gourd on his back, "Yes, it's this gourd." I told them with certainty, "This is a good baby." "Tell me about it." I continued to ask, "It can be loaded with any color, it can store all kinds of flavors, it can carry different kinds, it can solve all kinds of troubles, do you think this gourd is a treasure?" "Wang Daoren gave the effect of this gourd. As soon as I heard it, good fellow, the color, the taste, the kind, the troubles, this Nima is equivalent to being able to do anything, and it is amazing, and I asked on a whim: "Then can the royal Taoist pretend to be two living people for me?" When the old man heard my words, he stopped and glanced at me with his little eyes, "Rotten wood cannot be carved." With that, he continued to walk forward.
Peat, it's so amazing, when you show your hands, you actually threw such a sentence to the little master, you are an old stubborn, sloppy old man with a big wood, I don't know what it means to "don't look at the advertisement to see the curative effect", really, if you don't show it, you won't show it, I actually said that I am rotten wood, even if I am rotten wood, I am also rotten wood white, much stronger than you, a sloppy king.
But scolding and scolding, I still have to obediently follow behind other people's butts, and I can only complain in my heart. Since I saw the sloppy old Dao Lu last night, I don't dare to easily call people to the board, after all, people's skills are there, based on last night's data, I came to the conclusion that it is to call with this old way = find death, the conclusion is over.
Just after the sloppy old road took me to the northeast for about 40 minutes, we found that there were a lot of people surrounded by the outside of a farmhouse, which was really three floors inside and three floors outside. This group of people is not counting, many people are still talking to each other there, and it seems that what Lao Dao said happened here.
