The first day of October, also known as Halloween, is said to be at this time of year, when the weather suddenly turns cold, and in some places it has even reached the point where people can freeze to death.

Some people believe that this is due to the fact that the door of the ghost is wide open and the cold of the underworld is pouring into the world.

Legend has it that on this day, the ghosts of the underworld can return to the world, see the surviving people, and pour out their thoughts about the separation of yin and yang.

However, some people say that this day is the day of the year when the yin energy is the strongest and the yang energy is the weakest, so the barrier between the yin and yang worlds is weak, and some powerful ghosts will take this opportunity to break through the barrier of the yin and yang worlds and come to the world to complete the unfinished business.

In order to prevent evil spirits from harming people, the people of the yang world will hold a grand night feast every day, lighting up the whole night with lights and increasing yang energy to resist the harm of evil spirits.

Therefore, the night of this day was the strangest.

In some places, there is no light in the night, and it is pitch black, waiting for relatives and relatives to come to complain to each other;

In some places, the lights are bright, as if it were daylight, to prevent the evil spirits from coming here to make waves.

And Linyang City, a prosperous place for fireworks, is the worst place in this situation.

At this time of year, with the Surin River as the boundary, Henan is silent, and every household blows out the lights and goes to bed early, just waiting for their relatives to return to the sun and meet them in their dreams.

However, the north of the Surin River is a bustling and bustling city, with all kinds of exquisite lanterns dotted in every street and alley, and it is very lively among the crowds.

Around the end of the day, someone pushes a colorful three-meter-high paper horse from the east of the city along the embankment to the west of the city.

This huge paper horse is also called the "Moon Horse".

The people of Linzhou believe that the moon horse is ridden by the judge of the underworld, and the ghosts of the underworld are most afraid of the judge, if they see the moon horse passing through from a distance, they will think that the judge is here, and they dare not come here to make trouble.

Therefore, every year when the moon horse passes through the city, the people who see the moon horse will shout loudly: "The iron pen is clear, and the yin and yang are examined." And on both sides of the moon horse, put flowers to eat, to offer, that is, "called the moon horse"!

"It's so hilarious." Sun Wu helped his wife to walk slowly along the Surin River and came to a bright stall.

I saw all kinds of colorful wooden horses on the stalls.

"Look at this moon horse, it's so cute." Sun gently picked up a red wooden horse and said with a smile.

"Then buy it." Sun Wu looked at the vendor with a smile: "How much is this?" ”

"Five copper plates." The vendor looked at Sun's big belly with a smile, and then said, "Old Sun, how long is it left?" ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Sun Wu reached out and touched his wife's belly, then took out five copper coins and put them on the vendor's table: "I want this, I should give my unborn son a gift." ”

"How do you know it's a son?" Sun glanced at Sun Wu: "Maybe it's a daughter?" ”

"Hehe, my daughter is good, my daughter is good." Sun Wu hurriedly said.

"I really didn't expect that you, who used to be lazy and lazy, have now become the ship's driver, tsk, it's really unexpected." Said the vendor.

"Good luck, thanks to the sixth." Sun Wu scratched his head: "If it weren't for him, I would have had a hard time entering the ship, let alone making a trip." ”

"That's right." Sun glanced at Sun Wu: "Didn't I ask you to invite the sixth child to come to the house for dinner tonight?" Why didn't you come? ”

"Don't mention it." Sun Wu sighed: "I've gone to find it." ”

"And then? He won't come? Sun said.

"It's not that you won't come, it's that you can't come." Sun Wu looked at Sun, and then at the vendor: "That sixth, two days ago, he was caught stealing a fish, and he had to be locked up for at least seven days." ”

"Haha." As soon as he heard Sun Wu's words, the merchant suddenly couldn't straighten up with a smile: "Could it be the fish of the old five families?" ”

"It's his." Sun Wu shook his head: "This is Yu Lao Wu, knowing that it will be Halloween soon, why do you still sue Lao Liu?" ”

"Maybe the sixth child asked for it himself?" The vendor said: "After all, as far as the sixth child's leaky clothes lane, even if it is on weekdays, once it is time for this Halloween, it is indeed panicked at night, and there is no shed or wall, it is indeed not as comfortable as the prison." ”

"Having said that, I heard that the prison has been rebuilt, and now it is more luxurious than the Spring Rain Building, is it true?" The vendor asked suddenly.

"It's really been rebuilt, and now it looks spacious and bright." Sun Wu shook his head and said, "But compared to Chunyu Tower, there is still no comparison. ”

"Okay." The vendor nodded.

"Okay, let's not talk about it, let's go home again." Sun Wu said: "My wife wants to wait for Yuema tonight. ”

"Go, go." The vendor nodded: "I guess it's going to be soon." ”

"It's called Moon Horse, it's called Moon Horse!" As soon as the vendor finished speaking, he saw a little boy running from the east of the city, shouting as he ran.

"Yo, it's coming!" Sun Wu smiled and said to the vendors, "Let's go first." ”

"Mmmm, there are a lot of people called Moonhorse, you two pay attention to safety." Said the vendor.

"Okay." Then Sun Wu helped Sun and walked over quickly.

It didn't take long for the huge moon horse to slowly walk along the banks of the Surin River towards the west of the city.

Sun hurriedly put the wooden moon horse in his hand on the ground, and then prayed sincerely to the huge moon horse, hoping that his wooden moon horse would also be blessed by the judge.

In Linzhou, this kind of thing is called "inviting horses".

It is said that this kind of invited "moon horse" can bless the peace of the family and the health and wisdom of the children and grandchildren.

Sun Wu looked at Sun, and then prayed sincerely.

"Whew." At the gate of the southern city, the soldier guarding the city rubbed his arms and looked at the brightly lit south bank of the Surin River: "It's so lively." ”

"Why, you want to go and see it too?" Soldier B said with a smile.

"You don't want to go?" Soldier A asked rhetorically.

"Hehe, I'd rather go to the ghost market." Soldier B smiled and said, "It is said that there are a lot of good things in there." ”

"Gotcha, the ghost world guards are already in a panic, what are you talking about here." Soldier A shuddered and shook his head: "I'm not afraid that the ghost will take a fancy to you." ”

"Haha, I was just trying to see what the hell is...... Soldier B's voice stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking, his eyes wide, and he looked out of the city in horror.

"What's wrong? If you scare me again, believe it or not, you're welcome. Soldier A withdrew his gaze and glared at Soldier B.

"No, no, no!" Soldier B trembled, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he pointed to the outside of the city gate: "Ghost, ghost!" ”

"What the hell......" Soldier A looked at Soldier B's fingers, and then froze in place as if he had been immobilized in the method.

Less than twenty meters outside the city gate, I don't know when a huge team has appeared.

And none of the people in this team are people......
