Chen Jingle counted 39 sticks of incense, passed the flat pole through the hemp rope, put two bamboo baskets full of offerings on his shoulders, and then lifted the big red plastic bag filled with paper money, incense and candles with one hand.

This time, it will take at least half an hour to come back.

Fortunately, I usually stay at home, play barbells and do push-ups when I have nothing to do, and I still have this strength.

The old lady spaceman followed, nodding in satisfaction.

As the saying goes, ten miles of different winds, a hundred miles of different customs.

Chen Jingle's hometown, not to mention ten miles, even between the village and the next village, there are great differences in customs.

For example, temples.

There may be only one or two other villages, but Maeda Village, where Chen Jingle is located, has five.

When there are more gods, there are more rules.

For example, the order of worship.

Worship Huaguang.

Huaguang is the Emperor Huaguang, also known as the prince of horses, that is, the four holy horses of the Daomen Protector, Zhao, Wen, and Guanli. "The three eyes of the prince of horses", many people must have heard of this, referring to this one.

It is very important to worship Huaguang, you can only use pork and chicken, not duck, because Huaguang does not eat duck.

Folklore, when Huaguang was reincarnated, he was abandoned in the river because of premature birth, and it was the duck that saved him, so there is a saying that Huaguang does not eat ducks.

Second, worship Taishan stone dare to be.

Shi Kangdang has a wide range of beliefs in the country, from the south to the north, often a stone, written "Shi Kangdang", can be used as an object of worship. It is designed to ward off evil and suppress evil, and to prohibit the oppression of ominous.

Three worship realm lords.

The lord of the realm is the land and guardian god of the realm, the grassroots main god in the city god system of the underworld, usually served by the local respected ancestors or ancient ministers. The most basic function is to block all plagues, evil spirits and calamities that affect the safety of the people in the territory, so as to protect the safety and stability of the residents in the territory.

As far as the local area is concerned, usually a village is a territory, and there are small temples in the territory, and there are realm masters in the temples, and some also have the mother-in-law of the realm masters, and even civil and military judges, black and white impermanence set up in comparison with the Chenghuang Temple.

If there is a city, it is called a city god, and if there is no city, it is the lord of the realm.

For this villager, the importance of the realm master is not only to protect the territory and the people, but also to record his reincarnation from birth to death.

The fourth and fifth are the upper and lower ancestral shrines.

The whole village counts up several generations, and it is the same ancestor.

The problem lies with the realm master.

……

When Chen Jingle carried the burden and came to the Realm Master Temple, he saw an old lady kneeling in front of the Realm Lord Temple, kowtowing respectfully.

He knew this, but he didn't know him very well, and according to his generation, he had to call each other "four women".

The fourth woman, who got up after kowtowing, heard the movement and looked over.

Grandma took the initiative to greet her: "Morning, sister-in-law Mei, are you also worshipping your husband today?" ”

"yes. Ah Ping, you come too. ”

Both old ladies were very welcoming.

Chen Jingle then politely shouted "Fourth Mother", and the other party even smiled and praised him for his filial piety and helping his grandmother carry the burden.

Whew, it's all polite words.

Grandma took the initiative to find a topic: "Zhenling said last night that the chickens should be slaughtered when they are raised, and he will buy a batch of small ones after a while to raise them and raise them until the New Year." I just wanted to take the opportunity to come and pray for peace, but I haven't been in a while. ”

"That's right."

The fourth woman nodded: "This person is old, and the others are not extravagant, just be safe." I was some time ago, I slept very badly, I had a nightmare last night, but I dreamed of a grandfather in the middle, I woke up in the morning and was full of energy, it was rare, it just happened that today was the first day of the new year, I bought some pork to worship. ”

Strange to say.

Last night, she didn't see the realm master himself in her dream, but a voice in her head told her that the one who blessed herself from intrusion was the realm master.

She woke up in the morning, thought about it, and the more she thought about it, the more surprised she became, and without saying a word, she went out to buy pork.

Rural people really believe in the dream of the gods.

……

Chen Jingle heard it next to him and didn't care.

He worships God, but he does not ask God.

Worshipping God can still be understood as respecting traditional folk customs, and praying for God is feudal superstition, which is still clear.

Besides, how can a great husband be born between heaven and earth...... Ahem, you should rely on your own ability to live a happy life.

Counting on that pound of two taels of pork belly, let the gods satisfy your ravine-like desires, and think about it beautifully.

However, when he looked up and saw that under the eaves of the Realm Lord Temple, the words "That Class Realm" were written......

Immediately stunned.

"Wait...... I'm blanching?! ”

He finally knew why he felt familiar with the words "that class realm" when he played that copycat game last night.

Isn't your own village called that class?

Naban, in the local dialect, refers to the village on the edge of the field.

"That class...... I killed a monster in the game last night...... The fourth woman had a nightmare last night, and her grandfather blessed ......"

Chen Jingle is not calm.

It was so coincidental that it instinctively felt something was wrong.

It's so weird!

After the fourth woman walked away with her things, Chen Jingle couldn't help but ask, "Grandma, what's the fourth woman's surname?" ”

"Why are you asking this?"

The old lady was inexplicable.

"Just ask."

"The surname is Liu, her name is Liu Xiumei, her maiden family is from the roadside pond, and all the roadside ponds are surnamed Liu. Your Aunt Guiqin, the daughter of her husband's eldest brother, is married over there......"

The old lady didn't think much of it, and began to chatter.

When he heard that the fourth mother-in-law's surname was Liu, Chen Jingle's brain suddenly exploded, and he didn't listen to what his grandmother said.

Grass!

This can no longer be described as a coincidence.

Chen Jingle's hands were shaking, and he couldn't calm down.

He was now eager to know the names of the Realm Master Temples in the villages next door.

What if it's all true in the game......

His heart was pounding, and he seemed to have encountered a legendary opportunity!

……

After hurriedly worshipping the remaining two ancestral shrines, Chen Jingle ran home and rode out on an electric motorcycle.

"Sure enough, Niyong Village is the Guangling Realm, Dalang Village is the United Realm, Houtian Village is the Three Dynasties Realm, and Datang Village is the Wensheng Realm."

Chen Jingle, who spent half an hour to find the answer, squatted on the side of the road, looking at the map of "Incense" opened in his mobile phone, thinking about life.

"In other words, I am now the realm master of our village?"

"I am God?!"

The world line has changed!!

As a materialist who has received a higher education and advocates science, Chen Jingle's mood is very delicate at this moment.

There are not only the excitement of ordinary people after getting the golden finger, but also the fear and worry about the unknown in the future, and even the second fantasy of the older and hot-blooded young people.

Half an hour later.

"Am I really the realm master?"

"Why don't you think there's any difference?"

"Can you call the wind and rain, move mountains and reclaim the sea?"

"Can you fly to the sky and live forever?"

Chen Jingle checked for a long time, but he didn't find anything special about him.

However, recalling the introduction of Nightmare in the game last night, he subconsciously scratched his head: "In other words, there are really dirty things in this world?" ”

Turtle tortoise!

It's really going to be weird and revived, huh?
