Chapter 105: Changes in the Sacrificial Ritual
At night, the Zhou family's house was brightly lit, and the whole family gathered in the backyard to prepare for the sacrifice ceremony.
Under the dim moonlight, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and an altar is erected in the ancestral hall, with an offering table, a couplet, a sacrificial banner, a coffin, and an ever-bright lamp are all particularly eye-catching, and in front of the altar is an offering table, on which are placed all kinds of application offerings.
The people of the Zhou family began to worship the ancestral shrine in turn, starting from the old man Zhou, and the scene was grand.
By the window of the mourning hall, several drummers collected suona gongs and drums and were chatting leisurely together.
"Well, when are we going to play?"
A drummer asked his companion.
The companion replied: "The owner said that there will be auspicious light in the sky at the time of the child, and it is an auspicious time, and we will work at that time." ”
"Rui Hao Xiangguang?"
The questioning drummer looked curiously at the sky, but caught a glimpse of a dark cloud flying from the sky, shrouding the darkness below the ancestral hall.
He was surprised: "Don't you say that there is auspicious light?" This face hit too fast, right? ”
Seeing the dark clouds covering the top, Zhou Houran pursed his lips with a cold face, a little panicked in his heart.
"Dad, this ...... What's going on? ”
Zhou Houran asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say that there will be a Rui Hao auspicious light when the child is born?" I didn't see the auspicious light, why did the dark clouds drift over? ”
Old Man Zhou sat calmly on the Taishi chair, and said calmly: "What are you panicking about? The auspicious clouds that will appear in the time will be calculated by Daoist Bu himself, and there will be no mistake! ”
His tone was firm, but after Zhou Houran heard Dao Bu's name, he immediately pursed his mouth high.
Cha Cha Cha, who was sitting at the banquet, looked up at the celestial phenomena, and felt strange in his heart.
Today's astrolabe was originally extremely ordinary, and it is impossible for auspicious light to appear, but under the clear sky, there should never be a cloudy situation!
She pouted, and her soft little face was rounded into a small bun: it's really weird.
At this time, I heard the Yin Fu Sutra in the Hundred Treasure Bag whisper: "Little master, there is Yin Qi around here. ”
Cha Cha blinked and said in surprise, "But I didn't catch a ghost nearby?" ”
"It's not necessarily only spirits that have yin."
Yin Fu Jing explained: "Originally, the Zhou family worshiped their ancestors at the entrance of the ancestral hall tonight, and the ancestors of the Zhou family should normally accept it with a smile, but now it is cloudy, which means that the ancestors of the Zhou family do not want their descendants to worship their ancestors now." ”
"It is very rare for an ancestor to refuse to sacrifice to his descendants, unless there is a great traitor in the family, or the sacrifice environment is not good."
"Most of the Zhou family members are upright, although they have shortcomings, they are never traitors, so it is definitely not the first possibility. Then it must be that the sacrificial environment does not satisfy the ancestors, such as the altar surrounded by yin qi, in other words, there are unclean things. ”
Seeing that the clouds have not dispersed for a long time, there is even a faint sound of thunder, which has the potential to attract thunderstorms, as if the ancestors of the Zhou family are whispering.
Seeing this, Old Man Zhou couldn't sit still, walked to the altar and bowed deeply, and said: "The ancestors and the ancestors are above, and the descendants of the ancestors will set up an altar to worship today, and I hope that the ancestors will protect them, so that the sacrifice ceremony can clear the clouds and see the blue sky." ”
However, the voice still fell for a long time, and the dark clouds still covered the top.
Zhou Houran frowned and whispered to his father, "Dad, did we do something wrong to make our ancestors angry?" ”
"Nonsense! When we worship so sincerely, it's too late for our ancestors to be happy, what's wrong? ”
Old Man Zhou scolded in a deep voice.
Zhou Houran said coldly: "Perhaps, what kind of liar should you befriend?" ”
Listening to him teasing, Old Man Zhou's face was very ugly, and he said sharply: "Shut up your stinky mouth!" Bu Dao Chang is a fairy wind bone, how can you blame him? Perhaps, today's incident is all because you have angered the heavens with your disrespect to Dao Chang, and this dark cloud has descended. ”
Zhou Houran knew that the father and son would quarrel endlessly if they continued to raise the bar like this, and he didn't want to quarrel in front of his ancestors, so he asked: "Then what should I do according to you?" ”
Old Man Zhou sighed and said angrily, "Then what else can be done?" Wait! ”
He glanced at his watch and said, "Anyway, it's still early, since Bu Daochang said that auspicious light will appear when the son is born, it will definitely appear, let's just wait." ”
Zhou Houran had no choice but to order: "First cook the sacrificial meat and noodles and use them to entertain guests and workers." ”
The Zhou family turned on a fire in the kitchen, used the large bone broth simmered before to serve dragon beard noodles, cut smoked ham and charred bacon, and stacked them neatly on the noodles, and finally sprinkled green onions, beckoning the guests to come and eat.
The drummers snored, ate a bowl of noodles, wiped their mouths and thanked them, and went to the window to chat.
Cha Cha took the noodle bowl and sniffed it carefully.
Wow! The soup is fresh and thick, the meat is charred and fragrant, and the noodles are also chewy and elastic.
Good noodles, what a bowl of good noodles.
"Suck, suck ......"
"Oh, this noodle is so delicious!"
Cha Cha said intoxicatedly.
It can be called the best delicacy in the Three Realms!
A bowl of noodle soup is in the stomach, and the tears of delicious tea and tea are about to come out.
Zhou Houran smiled and said, "Is it delicious?" If it's delicious, you can eat more bowls. ”
"Naturally, I'm going to have to eat a few more bowls."
Cha Cha held the bowl and smiled and pointed the bowl at him.
A servant quickly took the bowl and went to serve the noodles again.
Jun Yue glanced towards the altar and said, "Who are these people?" ”
"You said those uncles who played suona and beat gongs?"
Zhou Houran explained: "A few of them were invited by my father to play suona, and they happened to live far away, so they will spend the night in my mansion tonight." ”
Cha Cha suddenly asked, "Are they specially invited by Grandpa Zhou?" ”
"It's not."
Zhou Houran shook his head and said, "They came on their own initiative." Originally, there was no such link in the sacrifice, but my father said that suona was festive, peaceful, and common for red and white ceremonies, so he asked them to stay. It won't cost much anyway! ”
Yin Fu Jing suddenly said in Cha Cha's divine sense: "Little master, I'm sure there is something wrong with those three suona-blowers. ”
Cha Cha asked curiously, "What's the problem?" ”
"They're not people."
Yin Fu Jing smiled coldly and suddenly said, "I just understand!" It turned out that it was because of the arrival of these evil spirits that the ancestors of the Zhou family were dissatisfied and attracted this black and thick cloud. Little master, tell the Zhou family the truth of the matter, otherwise today's sacrifice ceremony will not be held. ”
Cha Cha couldn't help frowning, and immediately said to Zhou Houran, "Uncle Zhou, come over for a moment." ”
Zhou Houran was puzzled and walked in front of Cha Cha.
Cha Cha Chubby grabbed the back of his hand and asked him to squat down, and then whispered in his ear: "Uncle, the three drummers over there are actually evil people, your ancestors think they are dirty, why don't you send them away?" ”
Zhou Houran suddenly said, "No wonder there is a big dark cloud in the sky!" ”
He hurriedly came to his father and said, "Dad, I now know that this big dark cloud in the sky was originally caused by my ancestors. ”
"Ancestors? Why would they do this? ”
Old Man Zhou asked puzzled.
Zhou Houran said: "The reason why they did this is because there were unclean and dirty things in the sacrificial ceremony, that is, those few drummers, they are not human, they are evil. ”
Old Man Zhou half-squinted his eyes and asked lightly, "Who did you listen to these words?" ”
Zhou Houran replied: "Of course it's Chacha." ”
"Hmph, you are also a middle-aged man with a lot of life experience, why are you manipulated and manipulated by a little girl all day long?"
Old Man Zhou coldly disdainful: "I invited the suona craftsmen, I like their festive energy, even you have to stop this?" Hmph, I think it's that little girl who should go. ”
He spoke loudly, and a few drummers were chatting and didn't care, but Cha Cha could hear it clearly.
She used her divine sense to say to the Yin Fu Sutra: "Yin Fu Sutra, can you think of a way to make those evil spirits appear in their original form?" ”
"It's too easy."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Cha Cha jumped out of the chair, walked to Zhou Houran's side and said, "Uncle, since Grandpa Zhou doesn't believe that those drummers are evil, I'll let him take a look." ”
Old Man Zhou was stunned for a moment, and sneered: "You little girl, you are pretending to be a ghost again, I am a lot old, how can I be deceived by you?" ”
"Okay, you're casting a spell, I'd like to see if you can make those goblins in your mouth show their original form."
After speaking, he sneered faintly, and his attitude was extremely disdainful.
"Of course, don't be afraid."
After Cha Cha finished speaking, he gave the Yin Fu Sutra an order to cast a spell.
