Chapter 104: Chinese New Year's Eve

Returning home for the New Year is a mark engraved in the bones of the Chinese, and there is such a custom in the countryside of Qilu land: please God. The gods invited here are not the Jade Emperor and the gods of Tai Bai Xing, but the ancestors who are invited to go home to see the scene of the children and grandchildren and the prosperity of the family on this day of reunion of ten thousand families, and enjoy the offerings of the children and grandchildren of future generations. This may be the most simple belief of the Chinese nation, the ancestral law, and the bloodline inheritance.

Tang Yunfeng's hometown commonly refers to "inviting God" as "inviting grandpa and mother", which has a complete set of processes. On the morning of the thirtieth day, the ancestral bamboo had been hung on the north wall of the main house, and on both sides were couplets written by my grandfather himself. In front of the bamboo is an old-fashioned table of eight immortals, on which are placed all kinds of tributes carefully prepared by grandparents, chicken, duck, fish, snacks, melons and fruits.

Before setting off to invite his grandfather, he and his grandparents first burned the paper money in front of the Eight Immortals table in the main house. After kowtowing respectfully, he set off with his grandfather, who was at home preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. Tang Yunfeng was holding a handful of incense in his hand, which he had just lit before going out, and this incense was the first pillar of incense to be offered in front of the ancestral bamboo after inviting his grandfather and mother to come back. When he went out, his grandfather would put up the barricades prepared at the door and the main gate by the door, which meant that the door was opened.

"Please grandpa niangniang" is in the courtyard of the house within the five suits, and as soon as they go out, they see small stones waiting in the alley. Uncle Huzi, the second uncle, the grandfather of the other branch and the two uncles all waited on the street with their respective children and grandchildren. After the crowd converged, under the leadership of the grandfather and the eldest grandfather (another grandfather of the Edamoto family), a group of more than a dozen people set off in a majestic manner.

There were people coming and going on the streets, all in groups to invite grandparents and mothers, most twenty or thirty people, as few as five or six people. In a village of more than 300 people, from the ancient age to the three or four-year-old nurses, almost all the men came out. The adults said this on the road, and the children lit firecrackers and two kicks (two kicks) along the way, and some naughty children deliberately threw firecrackers at the feet of the crowd to scare others. But on this day of universal celebration, adults are often very tolerant and will not clean up these little ones because of this.

The place to invite the grandfather and the mother is often at the entrance of the village, depending on the direction of the tomb of one's ancestors. Tang Yunfeng's family needs to invite grandparents and mothers in the east, south, and west directions, so a few firecrackers should be placed in these three directions, and three heads should be kowtowed together to show that future generations of children and grandchildren sincerely invite their ancestors home for the New Year.

When the prayer was over, everyone went home, and when they went home, Grandpa would always wait for him to enter the door before putting down the barricade. It is said that this was done to keep guests, indicating that the ancestors were sincerely left at home to receive offerings.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the doors of every house are open and the lights are always on. I heard my grandfather say that this is to light the way home for some ancestors who have no descendants in the future, so that they can be worshiped by blood relatives, and not without a trace of incense. Tang Yunfeng feels that it is very reasonable, which reflects the most simple values of our nation.

Eating Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and watching the Spring Festival Gala have been the main theme of Chinese New Year's Eve for many years. Although even the grandparents kept complaining about the Spring Festival Gala program, it did not prevent them from staying in front of the TV with a sense of ceremony. There is no time for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and grandpa will usually drink slowly until 12 o'clock in the morning, lighting firecrackers to welcome the New Year.

Soon after the party started, Xiao Shi came to look for him, and his grandfather waved his hand to send Tang Yunfeng, who was drinking with him, to his house. Tang Yunfeng toasted his grandfather with another glass of wine, and then came to his room with Xiaoshi, with two landers on the bed. Xiao Shi's broadband has not been upgraded, and he can't bring the game of "Vast Continent", anyway, it is only two hours a day, and Xiao Shi simply put the lander on his side.

After Tang Yunfeng went online, as soon as he went out, he saw the fat face of the money shopkeeper, as if he was waiting outside the door. The reason why the money shopkeeper is so active is that he wants to reach a separate cooperation with Tang Yunfeng. It's just that the ambition of this product is too big, if he should do this errand, let alone talk about the New Year, he doesn't even have to think about it. Without waiting for him to speak, Tang Yunfeng decisively refused.

"Money shopkeeper, I really can't do anything about the thing you said for the time being."

"My lord, we'll talk about that later. Let's do a good job of this event first, my brother is quite demanding, don't you tell me to wait for you to come, and then improve the venue. ”

As long as he doesn't mention that matter, he has an unshirkable responsibility for the event. In this "God of War Cup" event, a total of ten Phantom Moon Spirit Arrays of different sizes were created, corresponding to ten different ranks.

When he started working, Tang Yunfeng felt that he had lost money this time. In the past, if he made something, the system could copy it, and he only needed to authorize it, and he didn't have to do it himself, including his talent and skill identification technique. But this time, all the formations need to be done by him, because the Phantom Moon Soul is the only item in the Huaxia District, and without the help of the Phantom Moon Soul, the effect of the Phantom Moon Spirit Array cannot be realized at all. From this point of view, the Soul of the Phantom Moon is more precious than his natural skills.

No wonder the two profiteers who are greedy for money are so generous this time, no matter how they fight, they don't have the idea of fighting his share of rights. To put it bluntly, this event can't be played without Tang Yunfeng at all.

The range of the Phantom Moon Spirit Array in the new method position is the largest, and it is made up of ten Phantom Moon Spirit Arrays connected together, and there are two hundred rings set up. In the next nine ranks, the number of Phantom Moon Spirit Arrays decreased in turn as the ranks increased, and the God of War rank only had the scale of twenty rings of Phantom Moon Spirit Array.

Fortunately, the system can provide formation base drawings, otherwise, Tang Yunfeng would not be able to complete such a large workload. His main job is to set up the formation, and then let the soul of the phantom moon inject energy and set up different identification methods. The Phantom Moon Talisman is generated through the Phantom Moon Spirit Array, and as for the energy consumption replenishment, the system is responsible for the money manager.

The cost of a Phantom Moon Spirit Array is about 3 million gold coins, and 55 Phantom Moon Spirit Arrays require a total of 165 million gold coins, which are paid in advance by the system on behalf of the money manager, and finally deducted from the event income. If the income from the activity is less than this amount, Tang Yunfeng is equivalent to working for nothing, and the official representative Qian Jin is responsible for filling this hole.

With the scale of more than 50 million players in Huaxia, it is estimated that the registration fee alone is more than that, so Qian Jin is not worried about the input and output at all. Besides, isn't it just a cost of more than 100 million? It's a huge amount for an individual, and it's really not a big deal for officials. Fortunately, Tang Yunfeng is also the owner of money, if he just entered the school and participated in such a big investment project, he would have to sweat nervously palms.

The money shopkeeper came to him this time, just to ask him to solve the problem of the connection between the formation and the energy, without the help of the Phantom Moon Soul, the energy could not be connected to the Phantom Moon Spirit Array at all.

For this event, the two fat men spent a lot of thought. In order to ensure the fairness and unity of the venue, they did not allow Tang Yunfeng to create the scene through memory at all, but directly created a real ring. What Tang Yunfeng needed to do was to let the Phantom Moon Spirit Array cover this field, in fact, it was to use the immortal and indestructible attributes of the Phantom Moon Spirit Array.

Placing a blue crystal handed over to him by the money shopkeeper and connecting it to the formation is considered to complete the task. Tang Yunfeng placed the blue crystal while observing this mysterious thing, and could feel the pure energy contained in it.

"Money shopkeeper, what is this?"

"The high-purity energy magic crystal is the best energy substance on this continent."

"Someone got it?"

Tang Yunfeng feels that everything that the system comes up with is discovered or invented by players, which should be one of the underlying logics of the system. Otherwise, the order of the Vast Continent would soon be chaotic.

"Of course, there are many adventurers in this world, as well as many adventures and gods. Your Excellency, you have to come on! I'm optimistic about you! ”

“……”

Tang Yunfeng held back the feeling of nausea and hurriedly lowered his head to busy with his own affairs. This kind of energy magic crystal is simply an excellent staff inlay material, but unfortunately he doesn't have it, and it is estimated that the money shopkeeper will not be able to sell it to him. He can use it because it is a systematic business, but if no one sells it to the conscience shop, he will definitely not let it flow into the trading market. It is precisely because of this rule that he has a long-term cooperation with the conscience store.

After figuring out the formation, Tang Yunfeng and the shopkeeper checked back and forth, and after confirming that there was no problem, he went offline. The Phantom Moon Talisman doesn't need him to condense it one by one, the money shopkeeper can do it himself.

When Tang Yunfeng quit the game, Xiao Shi had already gone home, and he came to the house to continue drinking with his grandfather. Grandpa's amount of alcohol is actually good, and he can drink about a pound when he drinks slowly, Tang Yunfeng naturally doesn't dare to accompany him openly, and strictly controls it within three taels. In this way, the two of them drank a bottle of wine until nearly twelve o'clock.

When it was close to twelve o'clock, Tang Yunfeng hung a long whip in the yard early, and his grandfather also took out a dozen or two fireworks that he was reluctant to buy before, and after thinking about it, he put another one back, ready to release it again tomorrow morning.

As the clock for the New Year's countdown came to the TV, the villages in all directions began to hear the sound of firecrackers and fireworks shining in the sky. If you look down from the air, the entire land of China is shining with brilliant light, symbolizing the prosperity of the motherland. Tang Yunfeng lit the firecrackers, and then set off fireworks and two more with his grandfather.

The dense sound of firecrackers and fireworks lighting up the sky lasted for about a quarter of an hour before slowly subsided, and she helped her grandmother clean up the dishes and chopsticks for Chinese New Year's Eve before returning to her room. This night, every light in the house will be on. Tang Yunfeng lay on the bed, replied to his classmates and friends with New Year's greetings, and grabbed a few red envelopes by the way. There are not many of his groups, except for the group in the village, which is a few groups of classmates in the school.

Young people are more energetic, and most of the people who are active in the group at this time are young people, all of whom are playing the game of grabbing red envelopes. In the group of the village, a symbolic red envelope of 20 yuan was sent to join in the fun, after all, he has been away from home for many years, if he doesn't show his face at this time, it is easy to break away from the organization! A big red envelope was distributed in the dormitory group and the friendship group. The class group symbolically participated in two rounds of the game of grabbing red envelopes, and this New Year's red envelope activity is considered to be the completion of the task.

sent New Year's greetings to Mr. Zhu and Dean Jiang, but did not send red envelopes, after all, he is still a student, and it is not appropriate to send red envelopes to teachers. Dean Jiang estimated that he had rested and did not reply to his messages; However, Mr. Zhu quickly replied to the message, both young people, probably playing the same game.

Putting down the phone, Tang Yunfeng quickly fell asleep, and he had to get up early tomorrow to pay New Year's greetings.
