Ren Qiang smiled: "I set up an enchantment, and others can't see it." β/p>
Jiaona: "Scare me with your light!" As he spoke, he gave Ren Qiang a pink fist. /p>
Ren Qiang laughed "haha" and led the three of them into the Hades Palace. /p>
"How can there be a Hades Hall in Cui Mu Temple?" Qi Xiaoting asked puzzled. When I think of my experience in the underworld, I feel a little frightened. /p>
Ren Qiang: "The Hades Palace is the Netherworld, that is, the Hades Palace you see in the underworld. Of all the things you saw in the underworld that day, only the Hades Hall and the Vicious Dog Village were the buildings of the yang world, and they were also manifested in the yang world. Everything else is from another world. /p>
"There are big temples everywhere, and there are Hades halls in all the major temples. When a person dies, he reports to the nearest palace of Hades. β/p>
Qi Xiaoting: "It was also through the Yin City, I received the ghost heart in the 'half step', and took the train to the Xudu Prefecture in the 'one step less', and then went to this Hades Palace to obey the fall?" β/p>
Ren Qiang: "Yes. We are here in the yang world, we can't see the yin market, we can't see 'more than half a step' and 'one step less', we can't see the train. If you go out of your body to the underworld at this time, you will see all this. β/p>
Qi Xiaoting: "So, there are Yin markets in the Hades Palaces everywhere?" β/p>
Ren Qiang: "Yes. The yin market is another world, which can also be said to be invisible, and cannot be seen in the yang world. β/p>
Qi Xiaoting: "What about the Vicious Dog Village?" Isn't there a vicious dog village here, is it the same thing? β/p>
Ren Qiang: "It's the same thing. The Vicious Dog Village is also real, all, there is also a Vicious Dog Village here, which is located in the north five miles of Cui Mu Temple, and the structure is an ordinary house. As for the vicious dogs, only the ghosts can see them. β/p>
Qi Xiaoting: "Why do you let the evil dog Zhuang appear?" β/p>
Ren Qiang: "I don't know. I think it was probably to remind the world that the deceased should be given dry food to fight evil dogs! β/p>
Qi Xiaoting: "I hope so! It seems that the temples with the halls of Hades are all places where people and ghosts live together, but in two worlds. Hades is a hub linking the two worlds. β/p>
Ren Qiang: "That's true. We also have a special feature in the Hades Hall here: every year on March 15th, ghosts are allowed to come out to catch the Cui Mu temple fair. After the death of the parents, especially in the first three years, when they go to the grave, they have to give money to the deceased parents, commonly known as sending the party to the party. /p>
"If the deceased is a man, he will make a blanket, and if he is a woman, he will cut a bag, write 'gold and silver full of clothes' or 'gold and silver full of bags' on it, and then write the address and name of the deceased and send it to the underworld and the deceased before his death, put paper incense and dead coins, and burn it in front of the grave. /p>
"Before I crossed, some old ladies in the countryside still had the practice of going to the grave before March 15 to send the deceased to the party." /p>
Qi Xiaoting: "Before the crossing, my family lived in the county seat, and I rarely followed my grandmother to the grave, so I was not familiar with this. β/p>
After reading all the temples in the temple, a group of four people came to the outside of the temple again. /p>
"Cuimu's temple fair is far beyond the scope of material exchange. It integrates material exchange, entertainment, tourism, prayer for blessings, and wish restoration, and is a place where all walks of life gather. /p>
"Not only the people from the surrounding villages, surrounding cities and counties came to catch this meeting, but also the famous Ruifuxiang and other eight auspicious brands in Beijing, the Central Plains Company in Tianjin, Quanyechang, Tianjin shopping malls, and the big businesses in Baoding, Cangzhou, Sangyuan, Jinan and other places all came to the Cuimu Temple Fair to sell goods. It covers an area of about 1,000 acres, out of the boundary of Jiucui's mother. You say, where are we going to watch first? /p>
"Go to Eat Street." Jiao Na said first: "Let's buy some snacks at the temple fair, and while watching, we can satisfy our hunger, no better than just visiting the temple fair!" β/p>
The group came to Food Street/P >
The main street is in front of the big pavilion, and the streets are lined with greenhouses made of straw or reeds. There are scattered seats in the greenhouse, and there are single private seats, and their respective plaques are hung in front of the shed. /p>
There are also famous dishes from all over the world, such as the hanging oven baked cake in Qinghe, the butterfly baked cake in the ancient city, the rotary cake in Wucheng, the grilled chicken in Dezhou, the stewed cake in Jizhou, the steamed bun in Jingzhou, the donkey meat in Nangong, the pickles and stinky tofu in Linqing, the soles of Zaoqiang, the roasted and bacon meat, as well as flatbread, fruits, old tofu and so on. There are also snack products such as sugar gourd, sesame candy, and peanut candy. /p>
Jiao Na bought some snacks: melon seeds, peanuts, sugar cubes, rock sugar gourds, etc. I also bought a specialty of the state of Thornjin for everyone - soles, fire. The four of them ate as they walked. /p>
Suddenly, a shirtless beggar stood in front of Qi Xiaoting and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Old ladies and gentlemen, it's okay!" Have pity on me, who didn't fix it! Then he stretched out his hand and waited. /p>
Where had Qi Xiaoting seen this, and hurriedly took out some loose silver and gave it to him. /p>
I didn't know that this one had just left, and another one came, still shouting the same words in a hoarse voice. /p>
Qi Xiaoting had to take out some loose silver and hand it to the other party. /p>
"If you give generously like this, at the end of the day, you won't be able to get a few thousand taels of silver." Ren Qiang said with a smile. /p>
"So many?" Qi Xiaoting asked in surprise. /p>
Ren Qiang: "Yes." Cui's mother temple will be big, and there are many beggars from all over the place, commonly known as the 'flower team'. Every year on March 16, Hanako leads thousands of beggars to Hanako's grave. In order to catch up with the big temple fair, there are one or two hundred people, sometimes as many as thousands. /p>
"There were men and women, old and young, those with arms and legs, those with bare arms and open chests, those with dustpans, and those empty-handed, begging from shop to shop along the streets, and asking for money from pilgrims. /p>
They had a rule, they didn't steal or rob, but shouted in a hoarse voice: "Old ladies and gentlemen, it's okay!" Have pity on me, who didn't fix it! Then he stretched out his hand and waited. /p>
"If you don't give it to him, or bully them, they will come up with dozens of people at once, and they will surround you so that you can't leave, let alone do business. /p>
"There are people in the Hanako team who beat the cow's hip bones and counted the treasures. There are small bells hanging from the cow's hip bones, which jingle when they move. Count a sentence and ask for it with good words first: 'Shopkeeper, with a smile, congratulations on today's wealth.' If you give money to the family, the flower will never come to ask for it. β/p>
"If you ignore him, he will say, 'The shopkeeper has a ugly face, and you are not ordinary in sorrow.' You are worried that the business is doing less, and I am worried that there will be no entanglement. β/p>
"If you don't pay for it, he will sing endlessly. Coupled with a group of people watching the excitement behind, the business can't be done. If Hanako is annoyed, she still sings ugly. Such as: 'Go to the east, look at the west, the longevity shop has a walk, this longevity is well done, and the cypress coffin poplar sleeve. One is big and the other is small, and you can't run away if you put it in a dead person. β/p>
Therefore, the old experienced trader, when he saw the treasure coming, did not wait for him to sing, but gave him some money, and beat him away. /p>
"The scariest thing is the one that pierces the head. Dressed in tattered clothes or bare-chested, with a small bright knife in one hand and a pat on the chest with the other, and begging for you with a cry of pity coming out of his mouth. /p>
"If you give him money, he'll leave. If he didn't give him money, he would really pierce the top of his head and get bloody. That's when things get tough. A group of flowers surround you to give you 'reason', not only to give money for charity, but also to take money for injuries. /p>
Therefore, when the old trader saw that the pierced head was coming, he hurried to give him some money, and if he wanted to add more, he sent him away as soon as possible. /p>
"Most of the people give three or five, or a dozen or so money, but they don't give money." /p>
As the two were talking, five or six beggars suddenly rushed in front of them, as if shouting slogans, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Old ladies and gentlemen, all right......" /p>
Qi Xiaoting took out the broken silver again. /p>
I don't think about it, these few haven't finished fighting, and more than a dozen more have come up from behind, and there are many people in the same costume called Huazi to run this side, and soon surrounded Qi Xiaoting tightly. /p>
It turned out that just like Ren Qiang said, Huazi shouted on the street, and people gave money to them, and the most was about a dozen or twenty. /p>
Qi Xiaoting's gift of silver made Huazi very happy, and she immediately showed it to her accomplices. /p>
In this way, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and soon, it spread among the group of flowers. The accomplices were unwilling and came to ask for it, which formed a scene of surrounding Qi Xiaoting. /p>
Qi Xiaoting was dumbfounded, and thought: I just have a silver mountain, and I can't give it away. Moreover, he did not carry much loose silver. Busy with his eyes to ask Ren Qiang for help. /p>
In fact, Ren Qiang had long expected this situation. Seeing Qi Xiaoting asking for help from herself, she sacrificed a large handful of scattered silver and threw it into the air. When people lowered their heads to pick them up, they hurriedly set up an enchantment and covered Qi Xiaoting, himself, Jiaona, and Li Hong inside. /p>
The barrier is transparent, so that people on the outside can't see them, but they can see outside. /p>
After people picked up the silver, when they looked up again, Qi Xiaoting and the four of them were gone. /p>
Because Qi Xiaoting is beautiful, she looks a little like Cui's mother and grandmother, thinking that Cui's mother and grandmother have appeared, and they all kowtow to Bixia Palace. While kowtowing and praying: "Thank you Grandma Cui for blessing!" Thank you Grandma Cui for the money. β/p>
Qi Xiaoting couldn't help laughing and said: "I didn't expect to come to the temple fair and become a grandmother of Cui's mother." If Bixiao hears it, I don't know how to feel? β/p>
The four of them never dared to go out of the barrier again. /p>
Ren Qiang's barrier is transparent bubble-shaped, which is immaterial. In it, man also becomes an immaterial being. They, along with the barriers, are like air, and they are not hindered by the dense crowd. The progress of the four's trip was much happier. /p>
When he came to the porridge shed, Ren Qiang asked: "This porridge is all alms, how about going in and drinking a bowl of porridge?" β/p>
"Alms?" Qi Xiaoting asked curiously: "Such a big temple fair, are you here to give alms?" β/p>
Ren Qiang: "There are many such porridge sheds at the temple fair, and there are various ways to give alms during the big temple fair. Some of them have a few scenes out of their wallets, which makes people watch in vain; Some set up porridge sheds for people to eat for nothing; Some donated money to repair temples; Some donate money for a certain god to repair it. /p>
"There are also rich people who go out of the car and pull the good men and women who come from afar to catch the temple fair to make incense and make wishes, and go back and forth for several days. /p>
"The pilgrims who come to the tea sheds in each village do not need money for food and lodging, which is also a kind of charity. /p>
"For the givers, they all think that this is the accumulation of virtue and good deeds, not only for this life, but also for the benefit of the next life, and for the benefit of future generations." /p>
