The Chongyang Boat is a small boat used by the people to pray for blessings in the rivers, lakes and seas during the Chongyang Festival.

The bow and stern of the Chongyang boat are all tied with dogwood, and when the boat is sailing, the dogwood grass and flowers sway on the surface of the river and lake, which is very elegant and beautiful.

"Huh?"

Ling Rong looked at the many boats moving slowly on the lake, and suddenly said:

"Huh? It turns out that this is the Chongyang boat? I've heard about it before, but I've never had a chance to see it with my own eyes, and it's all because Grandma kept me from running around. ”

She asked suspiciously, "But, why are these boats so small?" Such a narrow boat can't fit a few people. ”

Zhuo Qingtan smiled lightly: "Because these boats are not needed for the whole family to take a boat to the lake, they are specially used for a very small number of people. ”

Ling Rong looked over and asked very puzzled, "Huh?" The Double Ninth Boat, as the name suggests, isn't it used to pray for blessings during the Double Ninth Festival? Shouldn't the whole family come together to pray for blessings?

With such a small boat, where can a family sit down? I'm afraid we won't even be able to sit down for the five of us, right? ”

Zhuo Qingtan explained with a chuckle: "Because, the common custom of the Double Ninth Festival is to climb the mountain with the whole family to overlook the mountain, and to climb the mountain with dogwoods to pray for blessings.

However, considering that some elderly and frail old people are inconvenient and not conducive to walking, and some ladies and ladies in the boudoir are not suitable for showing their heads, so there is this Chongyang boat.

At that time, during the Chung Yeung Festival, individuals who are inconvenient to climb high and overlook can also take the Chung Yeung Boat to the lake to pray for blessings. ”

Ling Rong nodded thoughtfully and said, "I see, then I understand!" To put it simply, those who can climb the mountain go to climb the mountain, and those who can't climb come by boat. Anyway, people who want to pray for blessings have a way to fulfill their wishes, right? ”

She is so cute, Zhuo Qingtan couldn't help but chuckle, bowed his head lightly, and praised: "Lingrong is so smart." ”

Ling Rong smiled and said, "That's nature, who am I?" I'm the first bunny spirit! Ah, not the first demon! ”

She thought about it and looked at Zhuo Qingtan and An Luofu in shock.

"It's just that Xie Yuci and my grandma know 'Chongyang Zhou', and you two mortals actually know it? I'm the only one who doesn't know? ”

An Luofu frowned and said, "Miss Lingrong, although Senior Sister and I are mortals, we are not fools. ”

Ling Rong glared at him: "An Xiaolangjun!" What do you mean? Am I a fool? ”

An Luofu was speechless for a while: "Miss Lingrong, I didn't mean that. ”

Ling Rong looked at him with an unkind face, and said thoughtfully:

"An Xiaolangjun, you seem to be loyal, I didn't expect to point to Sang and scold Huai?"

An Luofu glanced at her helplessly and said, "It's just a gaffe below." ”

The big furniture is smiling and watching them bickering, or the late youth really can't see it in the end.

She shook her head with a smile, interrupted their quarrel, and persuaded with some helplessness:

"Silly Lingrong, do you think this is a rare thing? In the past, I always said that I knew everything about mortal folklore, and I had never even heard the allusions of Chongyang Zhou. Not to mention the two immortal elders, just a random child on the street, maybe they all know what Chongyang Boat is. ”

Ling Rong was speechless for a while, and she snorted and quibbled: "What's wrong with me, I haven't even memorized a thousand words, where do I remember so many miscellaneous things?"

- These mortals, too, have nothing to do all day, invent so many solar terms and festivals, either trek through mountains or wade through waters, and I see that they are just too idle. ”

An Luofu frowned and looked at her, as if he wanted to say something.

However, he remembered how difficult Ling Rong had been before, and he kept his mouth shut very sensitively.

Wanqing shook her head lightly: "You, it's obvious that you don't learn and don't know how to do it, and you still blame others for being biased and vibrate." ”

Zhuo Qingtan had been smiling at the quarrel between them before, and then opened his mouth to explain:

"In ancient times, the mortal people felt that the mountains, rivers and lakes all had spiritual energy, and they could convey their prayers and blessings to the heavens and let the heavenly gods and immortals know, so there were many rituals.

Some are to commemorate the ancestors, some are to pray for blessings and seek the fulfillment of the future, and some are to remember the martyrs of their predecessors.

For example, the mountaineering and dogwood planting of the Double Ninth Festival, the boat near the water to seek good fortune, and the moon worship festival on August 15 some time ago, the river lanterns placed by the people near the water are derived from this. ”

When Ling Rong heard this, she looked back at her with a grin.

"So I'm just saying, these mortals are really stupid, one day in heaven and one year on earth. They have to spend so many festivals in the mortal world throughout the year and pray to the gods so many times, where can the gods in the heavens have the leisure to listen to their prayers and wishes one by one?

People are very busy every day! These mortals, isn't this self-deception? ”

Zhuo Qingtan and Xie Yuci were silent when they heard this.

Ling Rong's words were ugly, but the truth was that this truth was correct.

When they were in the Nine Heavens, one had been a high-ranking emperor, and the other had been a dignified and majestic priest of the Fallen God Ting Temple, so they naturally knew how busy the many immortal gods in the Heavenly Realm were on weekdays.

Since the time of the two realms of immortals and mortals is not equal, the daily heavenly immortal officials have to deal with a lot of things, which is equivalent to many major events accumulated in the mortal world for a year, and they have to complete them in one day in the heavens.

Therefore, it is true that there will be no time and leisure to listen to the wishes and blessings of the mortal spirits of the Nether on many festivals.

Speaking of this, Ling Rong suddenly made a fuss "ah" again.

She subconsciously raised a hand, covered her mouth, and looked at Zhuo Qingtan and An Luofu with a pair of big round eyes.

"That's what. I'm not scolding you when I say 'mortals are stupid'! The people in your immortal sect are different from their ordinary mortals, so they are naturally not stupid! Not only is it not stupid, but it is also monkey tip monkey tip one by one. ”

It is better not to add this explanation.

Zhuo Qingtan shook his head with a smile, naturally he wouldn't bother with her.

However, An Luofu, the only one in the private room who was a mortal from beginning to end, suddenly said:

"Miss Lingrong, this is wrong, mortals pray to the heavens every festival, this is not self-deception. In fact, there are many things that you want to do at the moment, so you do it.

As for whether others will know, what does it matter what they think of you?

Pray for blessings and wishes, with the intention of peace of mind. Not only pray to God, but also self-discipline.

At the very least, when they petition for blessings, their hearts are full of hope and joy, and then they can be regarded as having their wishes. ”

When Xie Yuci and Zhuo Qingtan heard his words, they couldn't help but subconsciously glance at each other.

Both of them remembered the conversation they had on the day of the Moon Worship Day, when they watched the mortals release the river lanterns on the moat of Yanzhou City.

Xie Yuci chuckled suddenly.

"It's not a family that doesn't enter the door, it's really worthy of being the junior brother you taught by hand."

Even the thoughts of this kind of thing, the two sisters and brothers are actually the same, very similar.

Zhuo Qingtan lowered his head and smiled, then shook his head slightly.

"Luofu is a child with his own ideas, and I didn't teach him this."
