Chapter 236: Bathing and changing clothes and entering the shrine
There are many rooms in Aunt Qi's house, and one of them is dedicated to bathing.
Xiao Cheng soaked in the big wooden basin, bored to pour warm water on his body, and rubbed it on his body from time to time with the fragrant fairy pure leaves, not to mention, although this thing can't catch up with the shower gel, but the smell is very wonderful, and the cleaning effect is excellent.
But he was still not satisfied.
"Isn't it just to go to the shrine of the gods who engage in feudal superstition, why did you drive me to the small black room to bathe and change clothes? Where did you get so many rules? I am a monk, and I can clean the dirt and exit fragrance by running Xuangong, and I can use such a solemn bath, and I don't want to participate in the non-sincere Do Not Disturb, and seduce the gold worshipper girl who is sitting in a BMW and pretends to cry, why do you make such a fragrance?
... Uncle, you don't have to smoke me with this thing, do you?"
Xiao Cheng glanced at the sandalwood lit in front of the large bathtub, and felt resentful. This sandalwood is a rhinoceros horn powder that has evolved to the level of a strange beast, mixed with many herbs to make zuò. "Didn't you say that the rhinoceros horn leads to the yin, is this the rhythm that wants to make me daylight?"
muttered a few indignantly, drenched his body with water, got up and wiped it clean, changed into the red cloth robe that the men of Luoxue Village must wear to enter the shrine, put on a grimace mask, and felt like the leader of the demon legion in Lord of the Rings, so he almost rode a big black horse and carried a long sword to chase down the super strong dwarf with the magic ring in his hand.
"It's so weird, pretending to be like this to meet the gods to worship, will it cause the gods to be disgusted and be slapped to death with a palm?"
The slander never stopped. It's not kind to follow the local customs, and he tosses an atheist in a previous life into what he is now. Also, the worship ceremony is very annoying, Aunt Qi said that she had to bow down, and she fought hard for a long time before she won the treatment of not having to bow down.
"Lao Tzu was born in a new society and grew up under the red flag, although he did not have the Long March 20,000, but he would never bend his knees to worship ghosts and gods. Grandma's, in my previous life, my parents didn't enjoy my kneeling and filial piety, and when I wore it here, could it be that I still had to bow down to the yin gods and ghosts?
Xiao Cheng pursed his lips disdainfully, dressed neatly, and the unknown vanilla-smoked grimace mask on his face made him upset, and he was almost smoked to death by the aroma on it, holding his neck for a long time, 'uh, uh', before suppressing the boiling and churning feeling in his stomach, and secretly, scolded the feudal tradition.
Enduring the feeling of wanting to vomit, he walked out of the hut and saw a red-clothed grimace in the same dress on the opposite side, looking through the mask, and seeing that the figure was not the dead old man Hu Liege?
Aunt Qi watched from the side, her old eyes showed satisfaction, as if this one was many times better looking than Xiao Cheng's original face.
"What kind of appreciation level is this? It's just the level of pretending to be a ghost in a soap opera, and it can't catch up with the spectacular waterway dojos of the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, Aunt Qi, you are old Ott."
Xiao Cheng felt like a monkey, but if he wanted to enter the shrine, he could only follow the rules. It is an exception not to be a man in this village, and if you don't abide by other rules, it is estimated that this matter is really a yellow soup, what else can you do?
"Hehe, yes, this is a bit of a feeling from Luoxue Village." Hu Liege walked slowly, stood on tiptoe, and patted the tall man on the shoulder like an elder to express his appreciation. "What a good child, if only the old man's righteous son." Hu Liege was full of regrets in his heart.
"It's a loss that I didn't become the son of this old guy, otherwise I will be annoyed to death." Xiao Cheng had a smile in his eyes, thinking viciously about this question in his heart.
"Where's your old skeleton necklace?" Xiao Cheng glanced at it and found that Hu Liege didn't wear a necklace, and couldn't help but be stunned. That thing is bald and looks like life, and it never leaves an inch, why is it gone?
"You don't understand this, to enter the shrine, you must have the 'demon bone chain' as the introduction, at this time, the demon bone chain is placed in the altar in front of the shrine, so that you and I can enter the shrine."
"The Demon Bone Chain is equivalent to the key to the ancestral hall?" Xiao Cheng was interested.
"That's exactly what I mean, otherwise, wouldn't it be a bad rule for the little rabbit cubs to drill into it if they have nothing to do?" Hu Liege said proudly.
Xiao Cheng understood why ghost elves like Ding Ding had no chance to enter the Falling Snow Village Shrine. It turned out that it could not be started without a key, and it seemed that it would have to be sent to the altar in advance. There is a need to pay attention to the time, otherwise it will not be opened. Funny, really funny, weird, so weird. Are you sure it's not the Goblin Bank Treasury in Harry Potter, and you still need a key?
Xiao Cheng thought about the dilapidated shrine in the nameless mountain village, and was very interested in the shrine in Luoxue Village. Obviously, the shrine here is the real mystery. The nameless mountain village has long been deserted and cannot be counted.
The village road was crooked, the village chief was in front, Xiao Cheng, who was dressed as a red-clothed grimace, followed behind, and behind them was a large group of snotty little ghosts, one by one, with wide eyes, curiously following behind, wondering if they could fish in troubled waters and rush into the shrine hall to play?
Approaching the shrine on the hill behind the village, the village chief turned around sharply and snorted: "Go home, follow again, and hit the board with one color."
Rumble!
A group of little girls and little boys scattered in a hurry, running faster than rabbits. all know that once he is caught by the village chief because of this incident, he will not be able to run away from the board, and Ding Ding, who is the most popular among the village chief, will be beaten on the board because of this, which is very painful. The children didn't dare to make a mistake, so they scattered in a hurry.
"Uncle is so majestic, domineering enough! The thunderbolt roared and scattered, and the children ran wildly, and the wind and snow stopped. Xiao Cheng picked up the big brother, his eyes were treacherous, and he spared no effort to ridicule the bald old man.
"Do you still want to go in?" Hu Liege asked gloomily with his old eyes behind the mask, and glanced at the young man who was very attentive to him.
"Of course you want to go in, you always please, please." Xiao Cheng secretly wiped his sweat. "I forgot who had the final say here, people had to bow their heads under the eaves, and then settle accounts with this old man after using up the sacrificial shrine, at this time must not be offended, and they have to be coaxed. I'll go, the chickens and dogs that were chased and beaten by Aunt Qi jumped, and they were very capable of playing majestic against a group of children, right? His eyes rolled, and he pondered very hard.
Hu Liege was majestic, his mood was comfortable, and he didn't dare to disobey Xiao Cheng, and he felt that his official authority had been upheld. The grievance of being bullied by Qi Meixian's unreasonable senior sister disappeared. The village chief decided that when he was in a bad mood in the future, he yelled at the villagers a few times, which was really a good way to put out the fire, which was a good habit and worth abiding.
The two walked to the shrine, Xiao Cheng looked up at the place similar to the Buddhist temple, and saw that there was indeed a demon bone chain emitting colorful light in the altar carved from bluestone in front of the closed door, and his heart was awe-inspiring. This ghost place is full of mystery, and he can't afford to be unorthodox.
Hu Liege stepped forward, muttered an indigenous incantation in his mouth, stretched out his hand to pick up the demon bone chain, put it around his neck, knelt down, and bowed three times to the gate of the shrine.
Xiao Cheng pursed his lips, reluctantly, and bowed three times at once, without any sincerity.
From the bottom of his heart, he was disgusted with ritual cutscenes, grinding and chirping, so hurry in and find out what is wrong with him, it's really boring.
Hu Liege stood up, his eyes were solemn, and he suddenly waved his hand to the right, and an aura that covered three miles suddenly appeared, and then, Ding Ding, who was screaming and screaming, opening his teeth and dancing claws to break free from the confinement, was carried into his hand by Hu Liege.
"Bad grandpa, bullying Tintin,... Let go, I'm going to go to the shrine, and if you don't agree, I'll cry to you." Ding Ding clenched his small fist and wanted to knock off the old man's hand, but under the effect of his aura, he always missed.
Tintin insisted, moving his hands and feet together, but he just couldn't hit it. Hu Liege carried the little dot, his eyes full of helplessness.
"Tintin, why are you always disobedient?
"Grandpa is unreasonable, Brother Xiao Cheng said, men and women are equal, men can enter women, women can enter, women will have more meat than men in the future, grandpa is an old feudal brain."
Ding Ding roared with a loud voice, and kept beating with his little hands and feet, and he had to resist if he couldn't fight.
"A woman can hold up half the sky!" Tintin yelled again.
The sound was so loud that the whole village echoed with the words 'men and women are equal, women can hold up half the sky', and the echoes were bursting. In just a few breaths, hundreds of villagers surrounded the place, and they were all stunned when they saw the village chief carrying the little guy.
"Oh, village chief, I'm sorry, Tintin has caused you trouble again." Ziqing stepped forward, picked up the fluttering Ding Ding, looked at the uncertain village chief, and played a round field.
"Sister Ziqing, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, Ding Ding is right, the village elder is too old and feudal. I don't understand, why is a dilapidated building for men but not for women? Everyone was born and raised by their parents, so why engage in gender discrimination? I feel that the village elder's brain is not active enough." Xiao Cheng stepped forward and popped out such a sentence.
Hu Liege glared angrily, and the words that Ding Ding shouted earlier made his heart tremble. Is there any rule for this, do you want to rebel?
"Xiao Cheng, I don't blame you for being an outsider, but the rules here are handed down from ancestors and cannot be broken in my hands."
"Uncle, this is your feudal mentality. Didn't our ancestors also be human beings? The system they laid down at that time was in line with the ideas of the people at that time, and they still used it at this time, so isn't it outdated?
As the head of the village, he should keep pace with the times, and the things of the ancestors should be removed from the dross to extract their essence, and the braids should be cut and kept...... Oh, this sentence when I didn't say it. ...... I mean, you have to be brave in innovation, your ancestors can set rules, you can also set new rules, it's just as easy to make, the big guy said, right?"
"Brother Xiao Cheng is right, Ding Ding likes you the most...... Tintin jumped up and shouted, and the villagers heard this, and their eyes were pensive.
"You, you don't have a backache when you stand and talk." Hu Liege pointed to Xiao Cheng and said this. said to the big guy: "It's all gone, let's talk about it later."
"Later, there is a door". Qi Meixian smiled and waved her hand. Everyone nodded, and the storm dispersed.
"Brother, come back and play with me quickly,...... Sister Tang carved a castle, but it looks good, she also carves her brother to put it by the Luoxue River, saying that you are done, and she will be used as a reference in the past...... , you have to hurry". Ding Ding was taken away by Ziqing and left these words.
Xiao Cheng shook his head with a wry smile, and with the heavy eyes of the village chief, he walked into the gate that opened automatically. The shrine of the Falling Snow Village was opened to him
