Chapter 41 Sending the Stove God
Under the gloomy sky, every household in the village has the lights off, and as far as the eye can see, the village is not very big, and it is the appearance of one hundred and ten households, each house is built very neatly, and it looks like a renovated urban village, that is, the street is a little narrower, and it is not easy to pass a car, but it is not easy to make a mistake.
I followed the voice from Master Wang and chased over, ran for more than 200 meters, Master Wang's voice was no longer audible, there was a light on the right, could it be that Master Wang found someone? Even if it was, you should have called me, and ran forward in a cranky way, and suddenly found that the houses in the village were all exactly the same, with almost no difference in style and texture.
What village could be more well-organized than a barracks? I was a little puzzled, and wanted to stop and take a closer look, but I found that I ran to the end of this row of houses, and there was a light coming from the right, and I turned to the right, and there was a house with the gate open in front of me, and there were two red lanterns hanging at the door, which added a little popularity to the dead village.
I couldn't help but walk towards the door, and when I got closer, I saw an old lady standing at the door, at least in her eighties, old and festive, wearing a red flower on her head, and standing at the door with a cane.
"Housheng, where did you call you? What are you doing in a panic? I didn't think the old lady was weird, but the old lady looked at me vigilantly, I didn't dare to be careless, I sniffed hard with my nose, there was no smell of dead people, I breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Auntie, I had a car accident, I got separated from the driver, and I came to your village, have you seen a man in his forties, chubby, wearing a blue cotton jacket walking by?" ”
"Nope! I waited here for everyone to come to the door, and I didn't see anyone outside. ”
I looked behind the old lady's door, and there were dried fruits, peanuts, and toffee in the yard...... Looking at the old lady dressed like this, is it possible that his family wants to marry? This is too weird, isn't it? Who's got married at night? I can't help but doubt that there are many such fragrant ghost stories recorded in the old gossip of our country.
The scholar went to Beijing to catch the exam, missed the lodging, went to a large family to spend the night, and then got acquainted with the fox fairy ghost...... I'm not going to be able to do that, am I? I was a little suspicious and asked curiously: "Auntie, you don't sleep at night, and you put on the lights, what are you doing here?" ”
The old lady looked at me very puzzled and said, "Hou Sheng, today is a young year." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and was about to ask again, when the old lady said to me: "Here, Housheng, look! ”
I looked in the direction of the old lady's finger, and the light of flashlights and torches came from the other side of the village, and the light of the fire gradually brightened, and the noise became louder and louder. But when I saw the people who came clearly, I suddenly chuckled in my heart, and intuitively felt that this village was not a good road.
There were about seventeen or eighteen people in this line, men, women and children, their clothes were red, green, and green, all of them were strong colors, and an old man had white hair, wearing a military coat, wearing a felt hat, and a cane, and his face was full of wrinkles, covering his original face, only a pair of small eyes flashed green in the firelight, and behind him two men held torches, and several people behind him were men and women, carrying pastries, smoked chicken, bacon, fruits, and a small jar of wine, and the food was pasted with red blessing characters, There are even a few people with various musical instruments in their hands, and they can't play to a tune.
The strangest thing is that Master Wang is holding a black clay pot in his hand in the crowd, confused and confused, and he doesn't know where he is, and he doesn't look at me, I can't guess what happened to Master Wang, like a ghost who is confused, and wants to save him, and I feel that the tiger can't stand the wolves.
I hurriedly took a step back, holding the treasure seal of the Taoist scripture master in case of accidents, but unexpectedly, the old man didn't look at me, and said to the old lady at the door: "Old Yu mother-in-law, hurry up and invite your stove lord out of the house, let's send the stove prince to heaven......
I was stunned when I heard it, and remembered that today is a small year, but after twelve o'clock is the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, however, different regions, different nationalities, the customs of worshipping the god of the stove are also different. The time to send the stove prince in the northern region is mostly on the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month every year, and the southern region is mostly on the 23rd day of the twelfth month of the lunar calendar, and some ethnic minorities will also have other times to send the stove to the prince.
The days are good, but there is a big night to send the stove to the prince? I was very puzzled, and winked at Master Wang, Master Wang didn't look at me with the black jar, his eyes were stunned, and I didn't have a good way, so I told myself not to be impulsive, find a good time, and take advantage of these people to make a fuss, and drag Master Wang and run.
It feels unlikely, but do I have any good ideas? Just stood aside and pretended to be dead, didn't move, didn't speak, waited for the opportunity, I didn't move and no one paid attention to me, we both seemed to have discussed to continue the play, but the buddy didn't move, but the old Yu mother-in-law moved, and entered the house on crutches, and the people outside began to beat gongs and drums, making a fuss, and lit a small bonfire.
Watching the old Yu mother-in-law enter the door, I always feel that something is wrong, that is not right for a while and can't remember, wait a while, the old Yu mother-in-law trembling out of the house, holding a black clay pot in her left hand, the same as the one in the hand of Master Wang, there is also a statue of the prince of Zhang Zao under the arm, I saw her walk to the door, I suddenly knew what was wrong, the door of the old mother-in-law's house was not pasted on the door.
As a god who guards the gate of folk beliefs, the door god can drive away evil spirits and avoid ghosts, guard the house, keep peace, help utilitarianism, and bring good luck...... Lao Yu's mother-in-law and the people in the village even sent the stove god with such fanfare, it is impossible that there is no door god on the door.
I just thought of this, the old Yu mother-in-law walked to the door, I don't know if it was intentional, I stumbled in front of me, I didn't dare to help, now who dares to help the old lady, that's death, especially in such a weird village, weird night, it's not death, it's just looking for death, buddy dodged, the old Yu didn't fall, slot, and practiced?
I didn't fall, I didn't fall, I stood up straight, put the black jar in my hand with a cane, and said very unhappily: "What's wrong with young people now?" If the old man wants to fall without help, it's too immoral......"
Help it, ruin your life, buddy is a poor student can't afford it, especially the old mother-in-law, I don't know what the hell it is, a mistake in the kung fu, the black jar in the hands of Mrs. Yu came to my hands, I don't know how to get it in my hand, the jar is not sinking, it seems to have no weight.
I looked at the jar and was surprised, and wanted to stuff the jar back to the old mother-in-law, but found that she had arrived next to the bonfire, and said to the big guy: "Send the stove prince!" Immediately the people of the village cheered, and those who burned incense burned incense, those who paid tribute, those who poured wine, and some people brought out hemp candy......
The old man and his wife walked to the bonfire and respectfully said to the idol in their hands: "God says good things, go back to the palace and bring peace!" After saying this, someone next to me grabbed a paper white horse, put it in the fire and burned it, and then someone burned paper money, the rules were correct, but soon I was a little confused, after doing all this, there were still firecrackers.
Firecrackers during the New Year are said to be anti-New Year's beasts, but it also has the meaning of driving away evil spirits and driving away bad luck. It's so unexpected that I don't know if they're humans or ghosts.
The next thing is to burn the stove prince, the stove prince is considered to be the end of the stove, the old Yu mother-in-law stood tremblingly next to the fire, chanting the same sentence: "God says good things, go back to the palace to bring peace!" ......" repeatedly threw the statue of the Stove King into the fire.
Burst! The statue of the Stove King saw the fire, and the flames jumped up, startling the people around him, and hurriedly dodged away, and the buddy was waiting for this time, lifting the black jar and smashing it towards the people next to Master Wang, and an arrow rushed over, thinking about dragging Master Wang away first.
I didn't expect that the jar was on my hand, and I didn't throw it out at all, and I rushed out, without waiting to rush to Master Wang's side, the jar in my hand and the jar in Master Wang's hand, boom! It burned, and all of a sudden the fire became very big, and the accident came so suddenly that I didn't have time to drag Master Wang anymore, so I hurriedly stopped and shook my hand, trying to shake off the jar.
I know why Master Wang is holding a black jar, and I also know why Mrs. Yu gave me the jar in her hand, and the reason why the god of the stove is respected is that in addition to being in charge of people's food and giving convenience to life, the duty of the god of the stove is that the Jade Emperor God sent the official to investigate the good and evil of a family in the world. The god of the stove serves two gods on the left and right, one holding the "good pot" and the other holding the "evil pot", and keeps the record of the family's behavior in the jar at any time, and then reports to the Jade Emperor God after the total at the end of the year.
I and Master Wang were designed to be a boy holding a jar, the stove prince to go to heaven with two jars, burn up, the jar also has to burn, even me and Master Wang also have to burn to ashes, eagerly, remember that Zhang Qingshan taught me Yu step, step gang from three steps and nine traces, is called Yu step. Its method is to raise the left first, a step, a front and a back, a yin and a yang, the beginning and the end are synchronized, the feet are horizontal, and each other is like a T-shape, so it is like the meeting of yin and yang.
I took a deep breath, stepped out with my right foot, and shouted loudly: "The spirit of flying to the sky, the spirit of the earth, the truth of transporting people, the combination of three talents, the combination of nine qi, the ghosts and gods turn the world and ......"
