On the ninth day of the first month, worship God.

Worshipping Tiangong is commonly known as Tiangongsheng, which is the birthday of the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven presides over the Three Realms, rules over all the gods of the Three Realms and all the spirits in the world, and is the supreme god.

The heir of Shennonghuang, after the branch of the Lieshan tribe entered Oudi from the Central Plains, he called himself a Nannan person. Worship of God is their most important celebration, which is the spiritual totem of their faith.

Northern Song Dynasty Taiping rejuvenation of the country for three years, Quanzhou Nan'an Su Mansion, a big family, a hundred years ago the ancestor of the Su family was a disciple of Kaiyuanguan, in Kaiyuanguan to seek immortals asked. At this point, every fifteen years, the Su family will let the qualified young generation worship the Kaiyuan Temple as Taoist children from an early age, go first, and wait for the crown scarf to pass on the degree after the apprenticeship, before they can practice and ask.

Late at night on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the Su Mansion was really lively, and the servants respectfully held the tribute plate in their hands, and carefully shuttled back and forth in the corridor in the courtyard of the Su family.

The four rows of Taishi chairs in the hall are full of adults from the Su family, and a row of benches is added behind the Taishi chairs on the left and right sides.

The adults sitting on the Taishi's chair all looked leisurely, some of them picked up the bowl of tea on the coffee table, tasted the tea, and made a sizzling sound from time to time; Some talked freely with each other; Some simply close their eyes and recuperate......

"Chang Fu, why hasn't the tribute been placed yet, it's been less than three hours." At this time, an urgent reproach sounded in the lobby of the Su family.

It turned out that Su Dahai, the head of the Su family, was urging the tribute to speed up the placement. When the housekeeper Su Changfu heard the question of the head of the family, he quickly got up, quickened his steps to the front of the head of the house to salute, and explained: "Master, I have already asked my subordinates to hurry up and place the tributes, maybe they will be lazy when I ordered the young master to take a bath and change clothes." Don't worry, the lord will pay a good tribute before the time of the child. ”

After Su Dahai heard Steward Su's assurance, he was relieved, and asked Steward Su to lead the way to see how it was prepared.

Then, they walked towards the indoor compound one after the other......

The gate of the magnificent Su family was open, every room was lit with candles, and red lanterns were hung all over the courtyard, and the candlelight in the lanterns flickered, full of solemn and festive atmosphere. In the open-air courtyard, the Eight Immortal Tables are facing the open door, and they are arranged vertically in a line to form an extra-long tribute table, with a full nine tables, each with a stack of gold paper at the foot of the table. In front of the table closest to the top of the gate, there is a brand new colored cloth, the cloth has a lifelike auspicious pattern, and the four big characters "gold and jade full of gold" are rusted on it, which is particularly dazzling. On top of the table of the Eight Immortals at the back, a new table was stacked and turned into a high altar, on which the throne of the god of heaven made of colored paper was enshrined. There is an incense burner in the center in front of the top table, flowers are placed on the left and right behind the hearth, and there are candlesticks on each side of the hearth, and there is a candle on each side of the hearth. Three cups of tea and three cups of rice are placed on the table top of the candlestick on the left, and three cups of rice wine and three cups of noodles are placed on the table of the candlestick on the left. After that, the five fruit sweet cups (sugarcane, citrus, apples, melons, bananas), the six vegetarian foods (golden needles, fungus, mushrooms, winter noodles, potatoes, red dates), the five animals (whole chicken, whole duck, whole fish, whole pig, whole sheep, etc.), longevity peaches, moon cakes, rice turtles, hair cakes, bowl cakes and other tributes are placed on the entire table.

The time is approaching, and under the supervision and command of Steward Su accompanied by Su Dahai, they are finally ready before the ceremony begins, and it is really hard and difficult for the two of them.

Su Dahai looked at the servants who had placed a full amount of tribute, and looked at the gold paper that had been folded more than a zhang high and placed it in the gold paper furnace before he showed a satisfied smile.

After Su Laifu saw Su Dahai's satisfied expression, his heart fell.

Su Dahai looked up at the sky, and suddenly asked, "Laifu, what time is it?" ”

"Master, wait a minute, my subordinates will go to the side hall immediately to verify the 'drip'." Su Laifu hurriedly replied.

Su Dahai nodded, and asked Steward Su to go to the side hall to verify the exact time.

After a while, Su Laifu, who was panting, saluted in front of Su Dahai and said, "Master, it's less than an hour away." ”

"Oh, I see." Su Dahai paused, and continued: "Laifu, you first go to the hall and invite the clansmen with you, tell them that the ceremony of worshiping the heavenly lord is about to begin, and let the lady bring the prince over by the way." As for my grandfather's side, I personally went to invite it. ”

"Yes." Steward Su replied, bowed, and then turned to leave.

Su Dahai straightened up, and after tidying up his outfit, he took the night running lamp in his hand and walked towards the paved small stone road in the back garden of the Su family.

If the moonlight is bright and dark, the small bamboo forests on both sides of the small stone road can be vaguely seen, the bamboo forest is of the same height, neatly and neatly, the breeze blows, driving the bamboo leaves to swing, and the dancing bamboo leaves make a "rustling" sound from time to time. At the end of the bamboo forest, there is a green brick road more than four meters wide, and the two sides of the road are divided into gardens of different sizes, which are planted with unknown flowers and plants, and the smell of medicinal herbs is pleasant. There is a gazebo in the garden on the right, and there is a well next to the gazebo. At the end of the green brick road, there is a row of five neat bamboo buildings.

Su Dahai, who was in front of the bamboo building, respectfully bowed to the bamboo house in the middle, and shouted, "Grandfather, the juniors will greet you." The time of the birth of the heavenly prince is approaching, and I invite my grandfather to go to worship the heavenly prince and invite my grandfather to burn incense on his head. ”

"Good grandson, get up, grandpa will worship God with you." As soon as the sound from the bamboo building fell, the door was opened. A white-haired old man with his hands behind his back, wearing a Huayang scarf, wearing a red robe, and wearing Taoist boots on his feet, flashed to Su Dahai in a blink of an eye, and his right hand had already appeared on Sun Dahai's head, patted it, and motioned him to get up.

This old man is Su Dahai's grandfather, named Su Yihe, and he likes to be called Su Laodao.

Su Dahai was stunned for a moment, and said respectfully: "Obey my grandfather, I haven't seen you for a long time, I don't know if everything is okay, and the younger generation misses it very much." ”

Looking at the tendoned and full elm head of the grandchild in front of him, Su Laodao shouted unhappily: "How many times have I told you, call me Su Laodao, Su Laodao." You just don't listen, even if you don't call Su Laodao, what will happen if you call Lao Tzu Grandpa directly? Grandfather grandfather, how strange I listened. Isn't it a little closer to Grandpa Lao Tzu? Of course, it is more cordial to call Su Laodao. I, a hundred-year-old person, was originally alive and well, but it is estimated that sooner or later I will have to be angry with you as an unsuccessful tendon. ”

"Don't be angry with your grandfather, I, me, my juniors, and my younger generations just listen to my grandfather." Su Dahai saw that his grandfather was angry, and he was at a loss and stammered and replied.

"I'm angry with you, elm head, don't talk to me, it's annoying to see you, rotten wood can't be carved." Su Lao glanced at him, shook his head helplessly, sighed, and was defeated, and then he disappeared after a few jumps.

Su Dahai saw that his grandfather flew away, and he could only follow the way he came, and disappeared into the night.

The sacrificial venue in the compound, when Su Dahai arrived at the venue panting, he was about to look for his grandfather. Unexpectedly, Su Laodao appeared and walked from the gate to the sacrificial ground.

As soon as the clansmen present saw Su Laodao appear, everyone consciously knelt and bowed.

"Get up." Su Laodao waved his hand, glanced at the audience, and said excitedly: "Before the ceremony began, the younger generation of the clan came to me to receive a sense talisman to hang on his chest. There is no sound at the scene. ”

After Su Laodao explained the relevant matters and distributed the talismans to the younger generation, the time had come. Su Laodao nodded to Su Dahai and signaled the ceremony to begin.

Su Dahai turned to Steward Su and said, "You can start." ”

Steward Su presided over the ceremony and shouted:

"Light the candles."

"Three cups of tea before the gods."

"Burn incense to welcome God."

Su Lao Dao stood in front, and behind the station, the Su family stood in order of eldest and youngest.

Everyone in the venue respectfully held three incense sticks, wrapped incense in their left hand and held incense in their right hand, raised to their chests, and their heads were higher than their eyebrows.

"Kneel three times and bow nine times."

Everyone in the audience prayed silently......

"After the salute, the incense is on the top."

Su Laodao, who was calm, respectfully faced the tribute table, holding incense in his right hand, inserting a stick of incense in the middle with his left hand, the second stick of incense on the left side, and the third stick of incense on the right side.

"Incense again."

After that, all the clansmen present were incense in order......

As the so-called incense should be from the wish of the heart's incense, knock on the sky, go up to the ninefold, reach the heavens and the earth, and spread the letter with incense.

"A glass of wine to the gods."

Su Laodao picked up the first glass of rice wine on the tribute table, placed it on his forehead, clasped his left hand and slowly poured the wine glass on the ground with his right hand.

"Throw the first cup of the sacred basket and ask the gods to rise, and ask if the gods have come?"

Su Laodao picked up the holy basket on the table, held it in his right hand and circled the incense burner three times, knelt on the ground, chanted words in his mouth, and threw it into the air, and the holy cocoon fell to the ground.

The gods have descended.

The young generation of the Sioux people in the sacrificial hall were already sitting cross-legged on the ground next to the table of the tribute table, their hands hanging down at their knees, and the number of them was in three circles.

The adults outside the sideline corridor all stared at the stadium, and they didn't dare to make any noise.

After throwing the holy basket and getting the permission of the gods from heaven, people's fear of the heavens became even greater, which could not help but flow naturally from their hearts.

Only Su Laodao and Su Dahai could feel the reason for the indescribable explanation, although Su Dahai, who had practiced in the early years, could not recover after completely breaking the gong at this time, his spiritual sense was still more acute than ordinary people, and as for Su Laodao, it was needless to say, which made people feel more thorough.

Su Laodao, who was not far away, sensed it for a while, took a deep breath, and relaxed his whole body. Eyes closed, breathless, chanting, pinching, suddenly Su Laodao suddenly moved, and stepped on the Beidou Bugang in one go. Laymen don't know how difficult it is to perform a set of Beidou Bugang, not to mention that Su Lao Dao stepped out of this Beidou Bugang smoothly, which shows that his mana is still quite profound.

Su Laodao sensed that many points of light of different sizes had fallen from the sky, hovering in mid-air.

As soon as 0:00 in the middle of the night arrived, the points of light hovering in the air descended to the earth in all directions like scattered flowers of the heavenly maidens.

A large, three, and five small balls of light floated in the sky above the Su Mansion, and they fell on the tribute table of the sacrificial ground and rotated, but a large point of light fell on the high altar and did not move.

In the field, as Su Laodao silently recited the magic trick faster, the pinch recipe changed faster, and when the last trick fell, Su Laodao spit out lightly: "The trick is successful." ”

The talisman hanging on the chest of the younger generation in the field suddenly emitted a burst of flickering light, covering the whole body of everyone who wore it.

The three middle and five small balls of light on the tribute table were attracted, flew around the young generation in the field, flew into the air and hovered in the air, and then slammed into the corner of a child who was sleeping with a baby bottle, and then the ball of light disappeared without a trace.

The largest ball of light seemed to be shocked by this scene, far away from the high platform, it stopped in the middle of the Su Mansion, hovering in the sky for a while, and going up and down in the sky above the Su Mansion for a while, making people scratch their heads. Like a living thing, the big ball of light wants to escape like a thought, but the heart is unwilling, or maybe hesitant or afraid...... Floating, this scene is so weird.

After a while, the big ball of light seemed to have made a choice, slowly hovering one zhang high above the sleeping child, floating for a while, descending half a zhang, rising another zhang, descending another half zhang, back and forth five or six times.

In the end, the big ball of light seemed to have made up its mind to find out, and it fell on the child's head, and nothing happened in the middle of the sound, and the big ball of light seemed to have the courage to fall towards the child. As soon as it was halfway down, the baby bottle on the child's body seemed to have magical power, forming a strong suction force that pulled the big ball of light hard. At this time, the large ball of light was stretched out of shape, how could it have the appearance of a ball of light, it can be said that the size of the body is smaller than the previous five small balls of light, and only a small point of light remains.

Fortunately, the "big ball of light" was vigilant before, so it was not swallowed by the bottle and turned into a small light spot. After breaking free, Xiaoguang nodded, and fled into the sky without looking back, disappearing.

This vision only happened in the snap of a finger, and even Su Laodao didn't know why. He obviously sensed that there was a lot of gravitational pull from heaven descending on Su Mansion. It was fine when I came, but I disappeared without a trace before I went back. But Su Lao Dao's spiritual sense is not ordinarily powerful, he can feel that this vision may be related to the child sleeping in the corner, but he can't say, how can a little child cause such an abnormal vision. Weird! Weird! I thought about it, or wait for the ceremony of worshipping God to end, and find out the reason, which is related to the future of Su Fu, and it must be investigated.

Su Dahai also sensed that something was wrong, and wanted to ask his grandfather what happened. Grandfather waved his hand, signaling not to panic and let the ceremony continue.

"The gods have descended, toast the second glass of wine."

Su Laodao calmed down and continued the ceremony to worship the gods with two glasses of wine......

"Those who have prayed to the gods, throw the second cup of the holy basket, and ask the gods if they promise."

Su Laodao continued to throw the holy basket twice, and when the holy cocoon fell to the ground, one reversed and one vertical, and the hexagram cup stood, that is, the big murderer.

Everyone in Su Mansion couldn't believe that such a hexagram could happen. Pale face, all heartbroken, can't figure out how this kind of hexagram can happen, I don't know what to do....

Originally, the rituals of worshipping the gods were: toasting the third time, throwing a cup and asking the gods if the meal had been completed, holding gold paper and firecrackers with both hands, burning gold and silver paper and setting off firecrackers, pouring wine and sprinkling gold and silver paper, and withdrawing sacrifices.

It is said that there are generally only three kinds of hexagrams, namely: the Holy Grail [one yin and one yang]; Laughing cup [two yang noodles]; Yin cup [two yin side].

As for the fourth case, playing a cup [hexagram cup standing], ordinary people will not throw such a fierce hexagram. Ay! Who called Su Laodao not an ordinary person?

During the ritual of worshipping God, even if there is a laughing cup or a yin cup, the ceremony of worshipping God can continue. However, when Su Fu encountered Su Lao Dao throwing the holy basket out to play the cup hexagram, the rules have not been allowed since ancient times, and forcing the ritual will anger the gods in the sky.

As the saying goes, "Where you burn incense, you are blessed!" "I really don't know how to explain this kind of case in Sufu, presumably the mood of Sufu is at the bottom, immersed in sadness.

The Su family also has a sleeping little kid, and maybe he should have a dream that doesn't concern him.......

With the end of the ritual of worshipping God in every household in all directions, the ball of light that falls on each family will go back as it should be.

No, balls of light flew towards the sky.
