The county seat of Renan, as seen from the map, is in the shape of an eye.

General Fubo and Guan Sheng respectively occupy the corner of one eye, and the middle point of the eye is the Ascending Cloud Tower.

This cloud climbing tower has a high status in the hearts of the Renan people.

First of all, it has a long history, it was built in the 43rd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty and completed in the third year of the Apocalypse, just 400 years ago. Secondly, every time there is a large-scale festival celebration, they will come to the front of the tower to worship the mother of the tower.

For example, the Lantern Festival "Shanggong Slope".

"Shanggongpo", also called "Shangjunpo", is one of the most important folk festivals in Renan to worship the five gods (god of heaven, god of earth, god of man, god of wealth, and god of stove) once a year, and it is said to be a folk worship activity held to commemorate Mrs. Xian Tai, with a heritage of more than 1,300 years.

According to folk sayings, every time Mrs. Xian goes out on an expedition, she will parade on the high slope and compete in martial arts.

In order to commemorate Mrs. Xian Tai, every time on the anniversary of her expedition, many places in Leinan and even Qiongzhou on the other side of the strait, each village will organize Yangge teams and lion dance teams to hold celebrations.

On the 15th day of the first lunar month, starting from early in the morning, a total of 28 teams of lions, long dragons, eight-tone gongs and drums, and floating colored cars from 12 Jingfang and neighboring villages in the city will rush to the concentration place together, and then parade in the streets and alleys of the county town in order of priority.

28 teams, representing 28 gods.

Carrying the public across the border, wearing arrows, marching flags, lion and dragon dances, kung fu performances, etc.

Everywhere you go, firecrackers are set off at the houses and shops to pray for wealth and safety. The crowd of onlookers was crowded with people, and it was very lively.

This is different from other places.

In most areas, this kind of large-scale sacrifice of folk gods is rarely seen in the city, and even if there is, it is more in the form of folk cultural performances, and few gods and statues appear.

The "Shanggong Slope" of Renan belongs to the carnival festival of the whole city, with more than 100,000 participants, and tens of thousands of people gathered under the cloud tower alone. From morning to night, it lasted all day.

Therefore, the Renan government had to set up a security station next to the Dengyun Tower to maintain order.

……

It is the height of summer, and it is naturally impossible to see such a grand celebration as "Shanggongpo".

So Chen Jingle just walked around the city and felt the local customs.

When you're hungry, go to a street shop and order the famous local lamb three flavors, namely mutton porridge, yokan and mutton bone soup. People like him, who rarely eat mutton, think it tastes good.

With his outstanding appearance and temperament, he was inevitably accosted by the proprietress for a few words.

The charm of the proprietress smiled and said, "Your Li dialect is quite authentic." ”

Meaning ~ praising other people's dialect accents is authentic, which is not a good thing, although it is not necessarily derogatory, but subconsciously already regard the other party as an outsider.

Fortunately, the proprietress herself had no malicious intentions, and Chen Jingle wanted to know more about the affairs in Renan and listen to the gossip, so she chatted a few more words.

……

"Brother, do you want to take a motorcycle?"

Huang Ping, wearing his trademark blue T-shirt, rode a 125 and picked up passengers in the shade of a tree.

Because I have gained weight recently, this dress seems to be tighter and tighter, and the belly on the waist is protruding a large piece at this time, which is very eye-catching.

He is a well-known figure in Renan City.

One is that the two people are running around outside all day long, and he knows all the big and small things in Renan City, and there are topics to talk about when he takes a guest.

The other is that there are many temples in the city, and they will look for him if there is anything related to Shinto rituals. He is the ancestral Duangong, also known as the great god of jumping.

If you have the ability, you have it, and if you don't believe it, you don't have it.

Today's Huang Ping came out to run a motorcycle as usual.

When you see someone passing by, you ask, and when no one is around, you chat with your peers next to you and blow water. Then he turned his head and saw Chen Jingle coming out of the roadside store.

Originally, it was just a casual glance, but I was immediately stunned.

Isn't this figure a little too tall? More than a hundred feet!

Huang Ping craned his neck and widened his eyes, only to see the back of the colossus on the opposite side wearing a red robe, surrounded by clouds, extremely majestic, and strangely in the middle with affinity, not feeling fierce.

Just as he was about to see clearly, suddenly a spirit suddenly appeared, and the illusion in front of him disappeared and returned to reality.

Even more outrageous, he found himself on his knees.

There were also a lot of people coming around.

Mo's colleagues saw him come back to his senses and breathed a sigh of relief: "Huang Ping, what are you crazy about?" ”

"Huh?" Huang Ping looked dazed.

"As soon as I talked to you, you suddenly stared at the opposite and knelt down, no matter how you screamed, I wanted to ask you what's going on!"

Opposite side?

Huang Ping suddenly came to his senses, hurriedly stood up and asked, "The young man who just came out of the opposite shop, where did he go, did you see it?" ”

"Which young man?"

"The one in the gray short-sleeved!"

"Didn't pay attention, is there any problem?"

“……”

Of course there is a problem, but it is a big problem!

That's God!

Huang Ping was so excited that he never thought that one day, he would be able to see the true god.

Although many people say that the things handed down by his family are fakes and can only deceive the ignorant and foolish people, only he knows that although some of his own things are changed to adapt to the times, and there are false rituals, some things are still true.

For example, the ancestral soldiers and horses.

When things really happen, the ancestors are used to save lives.

Just now, because of one more look, he was kneeling down by the ancestor with his head on his head.

It's good to kneel fast, otherwise I will really offend the true God, and ten lives will not be enough. Ordinary people may not care, but they can't do it with cultivation.

Some people may say that the true God is not so careful, right?

Actually, the true God deity may not matter, but the "rules" don't allow it. There are many ways to say the so-called rules, which are usually called the way of heaven.

Huang Ping came back to his senses, and suddenly became anxious, wanting to find the figure just now.

Such a thick thigh passing in front of you, if you don't seize the opportunity to hug it, how do you know if you can hug it?

What if? What if!

He got on his motorcycle and chased after him, but ran several streets without seeing anyone. By the time he finally gave up, rumors had begun to circulate in the city that "Huang Ping was crazy".

Huang Ping returned home with a sad face and went to find his father as soon as possible.

Huang Dong, who is 75 this year, is very strange: "What's wrong? ”

Huang Ping sighed: "I saw the true god today. ”

In a word, Huang Dong's expression was solemn in an instant.

"But I lost it."

Huang Dong was suddenly angry: "Stupid, the true god is that you can follow him if you want to?" He doesn't want to see you, so you can't. However, the real appearance of the world means that the world has changed, just take a good look. ”

After a pause, he said: "A few days ago, I heard that many places were arresting people, and many scholars on Renan's side who were bullying and dominating the market have entered, and it seems that they are going to clean up the rhythm." ”

"Big of things?"

"Huge! Tomorrow, I will notify the people of the Twelve Realms in the city to come over and have a brief chat. Then the townships and towns also ran away, and reminded everyone who should be reminded. ”

His father's prestige is much higher than him, and the person who is really capable in everyone's eyes retires when he is old and does not take a job.

It's a big matter, and the old man has to go out in person.

However, Huang Ping's father and son's movements were still slow, and as soon as they finished making the call, something happened to Hai'an.

……

In the vicinity of Hai'an Port, many new homestays have been opened in recent years.

After all, Renan is a place where there is nothing else to see except the sea. Although the quality of the sea water is not as good as that of Lucheng in Qiongzhou, it is better to be affordable, spend a little money, and it is still good to take a boat around the bay.

There are also many people who come here by car and stay overnight before crossing the sea.

Gao Qiang runs a homestay here, and the business is okay.

Making money is secondary, mainly because it is well publicized on the Internet, and many young and beautiful girls come to play and book his room. If you meet someone you like, try to get in touch, and if there is a response, take it with you for two days, say some love words, make some eye contact, and maybe it will be.

Don't talk about love, only go kidneys.

Love? Love your hemp wheat skin!

This year, when you come out to play, you just want to have a good time.

If you're happy, I'm happy, isn't that true?

This time, as usual, he received two girls from other places, each with their own characteristics, one is young and lively, the other is fair-skinned and weak, both are college students who came out to play during the summer vacation.

However, just as he was about to be courteous to see if he could get closer, he encountered something that could not be explained by science, which made him panic.
