Chapter Eighty-Four: Go to the Mountains to Find Wormwood and Calamus

In addition to the excitement, the readers' minds also become active in an instant.

Xuanzang in that long mythological novel should do the same thing as the real Xuanzang in history, that is, to travel west to seek Buddhism.

Then, on his way west to seek Buddhism, he would pass by Gao Laozhuang.

Then he met the pig Gangguan who was waiting for him in the area of Gao Laozhuang.

Go on and think a little further.

What will happen after the pig just waits for Xuanzang?

The answer is likely to be that Zhu Gangguan will follow Xuanzang.

Together, they will embark on the journey west.

In this way, the matter of Gao Laozhuang was also solved.

Because, since Zhu Gangguan has already followed Xuanzang to the west to seek Buddhism, he naturally can't be the son-in-law of the Gao family anymore.

Gao Cuilan will naturally not be locked up in the back house anymore.

This should be the ending of "Gao Laozhuang", right?

Readers are thinking of these things with great activity.

The more I thought about it, the more excited I became.

I just don't know, right?

The philistine spoke again, "I think so too. I think it should be right. At least it's very likely. Not only that, but Sun Wukong, who was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain in front, should also follow him to the west.

We all know that Sun Wukong will definitely not be crushed under the Five Elements Mountain all the time. He's definitely going to come out.

Only, how can I get out? It was hard for us to imagine before. There is no direction to imagine.

But now, you can imagine it.

That is also related to Xuanzang. Xuanzang should also pass through the Five Elements Mountain.

Then, Sun Wukong will come out from the Five Elements Mountain and embark on the road to the west with Xuanzang.

In other words, Sun Wukong is actually waiting for someone to learn the scriptures. ”

Hearing the philistine say this, the rest of the readers were all brightly lit up.

I think it's a big possibility!

It turned out that Sun Wukong was also waiting for someone to learn the scriptures.

In this way, the westward journey is only afraid to be quite exciting.

Because Sun Wukong is here.

Readers are even more excited.

The philistine continued: "Of course, this is just our speculation. Isn't that the case? It's not 100% certain yet. But whether that's the case or not, that long mythological novel is getting more and more exciting! ”

Readers couldn't agree more.

It's really getting more and more exciting!

Imagine that Xuanzang, Sun Wukong, and Zhu Gangguan, or the fourth and fifth people, traveled all the way west, passing through various places on the way, meeting all kinds of different people, and even all kinds of demons and monsters.

Then, there are bound to be various, very wonderful stories.

Just thinking about it makes people look forward to it like never before.

Now look at the story of "Gao Laozhuang", the sentence Guanyin Bodhisattva asked Zhu Gangguan to wait for the person to learn the scriptures, and it was really quite informative.

There are mediocrities in the struggle.

Otherwise, Li Xianyu obviously left so much information here, and they wouldn't have found it at all.

Everything still depends on mediocrity!

Readers sighed again.

The popularity of the mediocre people in Li Xianyu's reader group is even higher.

The more excited readers are even more excited to continue to talk on the Internet.

Related speculations and claims quickly spread on the Internet.

More and more people are thinking.

Then, they all thought it was very likely.

Including He Wenqing, Tian Bin and other famous children's literature.

It made them all sigh.

They don't want to admit it. But I have to admit that Li Xianyu's ability to structure stories is quite strong.

Once that long mythological novel is written, I am afraid that it will really have a huge impact.

It made them feel mixed.

But what can it be?

There was only a sigh.

Then, what made them even more helpless was that they were looking forward to that long mythological novel more and more.

It's even more just a sigh.

But no matter how they sigh, the heat of related topics is getting higher and higher on the Internet.

The outside world's sense of expectation for that long mythological novel is getting stronger and stronger.

It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a lot of anticipation.

……

Longmen Village.

Regarding the latest discussion of "Gao Laozhuang" and the long mythological novel on the Internet, Li Xianyu has roughly read it.

I have to say, mediocrity is really powerful.

Just based on the sentence that Guanyin Bodhisattva asked Zhu Gangguan to wait for the person to learn the scriptures, so many were analyzed, and they were all correct.

For mediocre people, Li Xianyu's impression is a little deeper.

In addition, the outside world is looking forward to the long mythological novel, which makes Li Xianyu very happy.

That's exactly what he was looking forward to.

"Brother, are you empty?" Ling Xiaoyue's voice came from the courtyard downstairs.

"It's empty, let's go." Li Xianyu responded and walked downstairs.

Together with Ling Xiaoyue, he was going to the mountains to find two plants: wormwood and calamus!

Because tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival.

You need to go find some wormwood and calamus and come back, tie them together, and hang them on both sides of the door of your home.

This is a traditional custom of the Dragon Boat Festival.

Because the folk believe that wormwood has the effect of warding off evil spirits and attracting blessings.

Calamus has a saying to ward off evil spirits.

And the Dragon Boat Festival is the strongest day of the year for all herbs and trees.

Therefore, hanging wormwood and calamus on the door on this day can bless the family with good luck and peace.

Every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, every household in the village will hang wormwood and calamus.

There is also a Dragon Boat Festival in this world.

And it is also one of the four traditional festivals.

In the previous life, there was a saying that the Dragon Boat Festival originated from the commemoration of Qu Yuan.

Because legend has it that on the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, Qu Yuan, a great poet of Chu during the Warring States Period, committed suicide by jumping into the Miluo River.

But this statement should not be accurate.

Because before Qu Yuan, the Dragon Boat Festival actually existed.

The Dragon Boat Festival should be derived from the worship of natural celestial phenomena and evolved from the dragon sacrifice in ancient times.

It shouldn't have anything to do with Qu Yuan.

In fact, the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival is not only derived from the commemoration of Qu Yuan, but also the commemoration of Wu Zixu, the commemoration of the filial piety Cao E, the commemoration of Jie Zitui, the commemoration of the incorruptible official Chen Lin and many other sayings.

It's just that the influence is far less than the commemoration of Qu Yuan.

Of course, even if the origin of the Dragon Boat Festival does not originate from Qu Yuan, people are very willing to use the Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate the great poet.

Li Xianyu went downstairs, carried a back shackle, took a sickle, and then set off with Ling Xiaoyue.

Enter the mountain from the east side of the village.

As soon as they entered the mountain, the two men began to look for a target.

Look for wormwood first.

Wormwood is not very common in this area. So to find wormwood, it's not too easy.

But there are certainly any.

Look a little more and you'll find it.

Not long after, Ling Xiaoyue walked up to a bush of plants and said very happily, "Brother, look." Isn't it? ”

Li Xianyu walked over, looked at it, sniffed it again, shook his head and smiled: "It's not like this." It's just an artemisia that looks a lot like wormwood. This artemisia is very common and is found everywhere. ”

This artemisia is very similar to wormwood, and it is very difficult to distinguish just by looking at the appearance.

But if you look at the smell, it's easy to identify.

Because the smell of wormwood is very strong, you can tell it when you smell it.

And the smell of this artemisia in front of me is very faint, then it is definitely not wormwood.

"That's it! All right. I'll keep looking. Ling Xiaoyue said.
