"Dad, did Xiao Nian send the stove prince that day?" Li Xiaoqi was in the underworld on the day of Xiao Nian, and he completely forgot about sending the stove prince.

"Yes, it was sent by your mother. ”

The king of the stove is also particular. It is generally sent by housewives. After all, the woman is in charge of the kitchen.

"That's good. "The Lord of the Stove on the Blue Star is just a small god, and it shouldn't be as high as Li Xiaoqi's Taoism. If Li Xiaoqi sent it in person, it is estimated that the Lord of the Stove will not report anything to Li Xiaoqi's family.

Isn't it better for the county official to be in charge now, don't look at the prince of the stove as a small god, he can still make his own decisions about this matter.

Li Xiaoqi thought for a while and said to Li Yongfeng, "This time the Chinese New Year's Eve is the king of the stove, I will come to greet him." ”

Li Yongfeng nodded, "We all think the same way. ”

"Is there anything else going on?"

Li Yongfeng thought for a moment, "There's nothing wrong with it." ”

Time passed little by little, and in a blink of an eye, it was the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve. On this morning, Li Xiaoqi was very busy.

When he got up at six o'clock in the morning, Li Xiaoqi began to take Qiao Na to paste Spring Festival couplets.

Since the snow has not yet melted. The weather in the north is also relatively cold, and Qiao Na wears gloves and follows behind Li Xiaoqi.

And Dabai Xiaobai also felt a strong sense of festivity. This is the first time they have celebrated the Spring Festival with humans. The two foxes jumped up and down, not idle at all.

Looking at the two foxes who were scattering joy, Li Xiaoqi shouted. "Xiaobai, you run slower, don't chase Dabai, Dabai, you look at your daughter-in-law. ”

Jona gasped at her hands. "Xiao Qi, did you say that why did we post Spring Festival couplets in the New Year?"

"You're still a university teacher, so you don't understand anything about it. However, Li Xiaoqi still explained. "Spring Festival couplets are actually a custom that has been passed down to modern times in ancient times, and people in ancient times did not stick Spring Festival couplets, they were hanging "peach charms".

The peach talisman is made from the torso of the peach tree, and the peach wood has the effect of warding off evil spirits.

Just like a Taoist priest, each person will have a peachwood sword in their hand. Although it is a wooden sword, it is a good weapon against ghosts.

And the meaning of their peach talisman is to use this peach talisman to bless the family and be safe and secure in this new year.

It was only later that the peach charm was gradually replaced by couplets. But this is also a matter of ancient times, and it has been passed down to the present.

To put it bluntly, it is a festive picture during the New Year. And couplets are also a continuation of our culture. ”

"Then Xiao Qi, will you make a peach talisman?

Li Xiaoqi smiled and shook his head. "We don't need to hang this, I still have a little ghost at home who can't open my eyes. Besides, now that we are all cultivators, we don't have to be afraid of some imps who are still shallow in their Taoism. ”

Qiao Na nodded, feeling that what Li Xiaoqi said was very right, since she cultivated, her health was very good. I haven't even had a cold for more than half a year.

After half a year of cultivation, Qiao Na's current cultivation has reached the foundation building period. Although she is not a powerful cultivator, she can't enter her body with a hundred or ten ordinary people.

After Li Xiaoqi finished pasting the couplet, he posted a big blessing on the door. There is nothing particular about this blessing word, just to please a good omen, and the family is happy and healthy.

Now some people will paste this word of blessing upside down, and there is also a very interesting meaning, saying that the blessing has arrived.

However, there are different opinions about such statements, some say that it is unlucky to post blessings, and some say that the implication of blessings is better than sticking them upside down. In fact, this blessing word is only for a happy meaning.

After a busy morning, Li Xiaoqi also took advantage of the morning time to calculate the time of the arrival of the stove prince.

Because the time of the arrival of the Lord of the Stove is generally auspicious, some firecrackers will also be set off at this time. Come to welcome the arrival of King Zhao, and then also have a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner after the arrival of King Zao.

However, this rule has been passed down to now, and few people know about it. Many families also eat at eight or nine o'clock in the evening and go to bed.

After all, the taste of the New Year is far less than before. In many big cities, fireworks are even strictly prohibited.

"Xiao Qi, what time will the Lord of the Stove come this year. Wang Chunhua ran over and asked at this time.

Wang Chunhua asked because she was going to prepare a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. After all, there are many people eating at Li Xiaoqi's house today. She has to prepare in advance.

"The time is in the sub-hour, which is between eleven and one o'clock in the evening. ”

After getting the specific time, Wang Chunhua went back to the house. Generally, on the side of Li Xiaoqi's family, from twelve o'clock at noon to twelve o'clock in the evening, there will be no other meal. If hungry. will eat some melon and fruit snacks. Just waiting for this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.

In the afternoon, Li Xiaoqi's uncle and two aunts came to Li Xiaoqi's house with their families.

They had already met Jona's parents in the first few days, so there was no need to reintroduce anything. The men chatted in the house, while the women were busy in the kitchen.

Don't look at it, it's just a lot of things that are busy in the afternoon. They need to cut the dishes in advance, put them on plates, and wait for them to be made in the evening. You also need to prepare dumpling filling.

Speaking of dumpling filling. On Li Xiaoqi's side. Generally, it is eaten with sauerkraut and meat filling. And sauerkraut is also a sauerkraut accumulated by one's own family. The taste is much better than what is sold outside.

After everything was ready, the women came out of the kitchen. Chatting with melon seeds.

In fact, there are still many things that people don't know, there is still a year between the small year and the big year. It was the day before the Chinese New Year.

There are some people who believe in Buddhism. They celebrate the New Year on the day before the Lunar New Year. They do this because they will be vegetarian on the day of the Chinese New Year.

You can eat big fish and meat the day before. On the day of the Chinese New Year, you will choose to go vegetarian. The vegetarian diet will continue until the morning of the second day of junior high school, for three days.

Because people who believe in Buddhism are not all incapable of drinking and meat. They are just faith. They won't choose to quit all alcohol and meat, after all, they are not monks.

And Li Xiaoqi's family has no people who believe in Buddhism. That's why we celebrate the New Year on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Not only Li Xiaoqi's family, but there are no people who believe in Buddhism in the entire village, and most of them still believe in their own family's Baojia immortals.

The sky is gradually getting dark, but there will always be some laughter and laughter in Li Xiaoqi's house, after all, everyone is very happy during the New Year.

In this laughter, time gradually came, and it was time to come.

The women are busy making dumplings and stir-frying vegetables in the kitchen. And Li Xiaoqi and his eldest brother also appeared in the courtyard with their two younger sisters.

As soon as the time came, Li Xiaoqi also lit the firecracker with a lighter, and there was a crackling sound. It also indicates that the old year has passed, and the new year is coming.

When Li Xiaoqi was lighting firecrackers. Open your way to the fullest. This also made his brother and sister far away from him, and they felt close to Li Xiaoqi, and there was a feeling of being overwhelmed.

The reason why Li Xiaoqi did this was to see the Lord of the Stove above the Blue Star.

Although Li Xiaoqi knew that the Tao of this stove prince was not as good as his own, after all, he was also the righteous god of Heavenly Court, and Li Xiaoqi had never dealt with people in Heavenly Court. He also wanted to see what the people of the Heavenly Court were like, so he had such an idea.

Sure enough, in the state of Li Xiaoqi's full drive, a few minutes later, a figure appeared in front of Li Xiaoqi's house.

There is a big difference between the righteous gods of the heavenly court and the ghost cultivation in the underworld, and the ghost cultivation in the underworld is only the body of the soul. Only the mighty have their own bodies.

And the righteous gods of the heavenly court all have their own bodies, just like ordinary people. It's just that usually they hide themselves from being seen.

The people who came were very low in height. About 1.6 meters, on crutches. His back is still a little bent, like the father-in-law of the land played on TV.

The Lord of the Stove walked in front of Li Xiaoqi, and he was originally bent over, but he was even lower, "Little Lao'er has seen Shangxian." ”

The person who came this time was just himself, and the two boys around him did not follow. Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, and he has a lot to do. But as soon as he came, he felt it, and Li Xiaoqi released all the Taoism.

He knew that this was Li Xiaoqi's way to find himself, and it would definitely be impossible if he didn't come, after all, he would have to mix on this planet in the future. So I can only send two boys to get busy first. I rushed over.

"You're the god of the hearth on this planet?"

"It's the little old man, I don't know what the immortal is looking for me?"

"I'm looking for you for nothing. Isn't it the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve? To be honest, I haven't seen the righteous gods of the Heavenly Court. That's why I want to meet you, and please take care of me in the future.

Lord Zao naturally understood what Li Xiaoqi meant, that is, if there were some trivial matters in the future, he would not let him report to the heavenly court. It was a really small thing for him. "Little Lao'er understands. Please take care of it in the future. ”

Although the Lord of the Stove is a righteous god, his Taoism is only two yuan. In his previous life, he was a mortal. In his previous life, he accumulated virtue and did good deeds. There are a lot of merits, so when he entered the underworld, he went through six reincarnations and was directly reincarnated in heaven. And by chance, he became the god of the stove.

The six realms of reincarnation, the way of heaven, and humanity. Hell Dao, Hungry Ghost Dao, Shura Dao, Beast. After death, the underworld will depend on your merits in this life. will arrange which one you will be reincarnated into.

Heavenly Court is not all profound people, there are also some commoners. But the morality of the common people has also reached one yuan.

If the civilians of the Celestial Realm are placed on a weak planet, they can become the rulers of that planet.

"You came down from the heavenly realm and haven't eaten yet, do you want to eat some together?"

"Thank you to the immortals, but the little old man can't eat the food of the mortal world. ”

Li Xiaoqi was just polite, since the prince didn't eat it, Li Xiaoqi didn't force it, "Okay, then you can get busy." ”

The little old man retired. Saying that, the Lord of the Stove emptied and disappeared, and I don't know where he went.

And Li Xiaoqi looked at the disappeared Stove Lord, thinking about one thing, outsiders entering the Blue Star, the Tao can't be more than a thousand years. But the Tao of the Lord of the Stove is two yuan. Now although the Heavenly Dao's restrictions on the Blue Star have weakened, this Stove God is obviously not the first year of the Blue Star. The reason why Li Xiaoqi didn't ask was because even if he asked, the King of the Stove wouldn't say, and if he couldn't figure it out, Li Xiaoqi didn't think much about it.

"Brother, who was that old man just now?" Sun Yu asked strangely as he watched Li Xiaoqi talk to an old man who suddenly appeared.

"He is the Lord of the Stove. ”

"Immortals, my God, I actually saw immortals. ”
