Chapter 166: On the Midyear Festival, the city gate opens

It was night, and it was drizzling, and the evening breeze carried moisture through the windows into the house.

After 0 o'clock, it is the mid-year festival.

"Zhongyuan Festival" originated from Taoism after the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was a folk ancestor worship festival in ancient times.

The folk call the "Zhongyuan Festival" also known as the "July Half" and "July 14" ancestor worship festivals, and Chinese New Year's Eve, Qingming Festival, and Chongyang Festival are all traditional ancestor worship festivals of the Chinese nation.

The origin of the name "Zhongyuan Festival" comes from the Taoist "Three Yuan Theory".

"The heavenly official is blessed, the local official is forgiven, and the water official is relieved."

The ancients took the fifteenth day of the first lunar month as the birthday of the heavenly official, so it was set as the Shangyuan Festival (i.e., the Lantern Festival), the fifteenth day of July was the birthday of the local official, so it was set as the Zhongyuan Festival, and the fifteenth day of October was the birthday of the water official, so it was set as the Xiayuan Festival.

There is a legend among the folk that on July 15 [the underground house opens the door to release ghosts]!

In the ghost city of Xudu, Ah Piao began to carnival, today is the day when they come and go to the two worlds of yin and yang, and it is also the day when they go back to see.

The city gate opened, and someone hugged a big pillow and smiled honestly: "When I go back, I will ask my granddaughter to burn me a photo." ”

"Burn a picture of Xiao Lingling? Wouldn't it be unlucky? ”

"It's okay, Xiao Lingling is the ghost of our ghost town, she just went out to complete a task, and she will come back in the future, these little bad luck can't stop her."

"You're going to put a picture on a pillow?"

"Yes, yes!"

"My grandson seems to have hacked Xiao Lingling, see if I don't teach him a good lesson when I go back!"

"Who can't be black, openly hacking his ancestor's idol, the kid doesn't want to live!"

Amidst laughter and laughter, a group of undead left the ghost city of Xudu.

Uncle Onicha sat on the rooftop, looking at the city gate not far away.

The bull head and horse face appeared, and the bull head wrinkled his nose: "Why don't you go out for a walk?" ”

Uncle Ghost Cha waved his hand: "It's been three hundred years since I became a ghost chadu, and my relatives in the yang world have all died and been reincarnated, how can the current juniors remember my appearance?" Appearing in front of them is nothing more than scaring people, so forget it. ”

"In that case, why don't we have a drink together?" The horse shook the wine gourd.

"Good! Walk! ”

"Take us!" A group of demons followed.

"You're homeless too?"

"Who else has a home here for hundreds of years?"

"Not really! No one knows us when we get home, so why don't we have a drink here! ”

……

One by one, Ah Piao followed the route in his memory to the old house.

It's a matter of fact, the old house has already changed owners, and Ah Piao has to find descendants according to the fluctuation of the soul.

In a scientific way, it is called genetic resonance, and in the ghost city of Xudu, it is called: soul fluctuations!

"Unfilial son! I actually sold the house! An old man, Ah Piao, was furious.

"Look for it again." The old neighbor who came with him to find his relatives persuaded him: "Don't be angry with the child, maybe you should buy a better house." ”

"Okay, I'll look for it again, you go back first, and go back to the ghost town of Xudu together."

"Done! I'll be waiting for you at the station! ”

The old man closed his eyes and felt the fluctuations from his soul, and his soul trembled and drifted in one direction.

On the other side of the city, an angry girl was talking to her best friend on the phone and complaining: "You don't know how hateful Hua Lingling is!" I'm annoyed when I see a child now! ”

"Didn't you like her very much?" My girlfriend was very puzzled.

"She is a small child, and it is actually about us adults, she doesn't know how much disaster a woman has to suffer when she gives birth to a child, and she is still saying that if she doesn't have a child, Ah Piao will have no way to reincarnate or something like that, this is deliberately scaring me? Am I scared? I won't give birth to !! in my life ”

My best friend also complained: "I don't want to have children, but my mother has been arranging blind dates for me, I wish I would marry out soon, and ask me to have children as soon as possible, saying that she is still young and can help me take care of the children, and when she is old in the future, she can't bring me children!" ”

Just when the two were chatting the most, an old couple floated in.

"Old man, is this our granddaughter?"

The old man Ah Piao nodded: "It's her, when I died, she was already twenty years old." ”

The old lady Ah Piao sighed: "When I died, she was only three years old, and she was really a woman who changed eighteen times, and she became more and more beautiful." ”

"Old man, who is she talking about?"

"Who else, your favorite little cub!"

"Little Lingling?"

"Isn't it just saying bad things about Xiao Lingling!"

The old lady clenched her fists: "It's all to blame that I died too early and didn't teach her well!" ”

The old man rolled his eyes, this granddaughter is not like her when she was young!

"No, I've got to talk to her!" The more the old lady listened, the more angry she became: "Little Lingling is so cute, how can she hold a grudge against a little cub!" And Xiao Lingling didn't say anything wrong! ”

"You don't understand this, you died too early, there were no phablets at that time, and information was blocked. Now that information is developed, freedom of speech, and all kinds of speech have poisoned these young people, and they have a new outlook and cognition, which is completely different from the thinking of us old people. ”

"Anyway, I don't understand, and I don't agree with it! If you don't get married and don't have children, what should you do when you're old? The old lady was angry.

The old man rolled his eyes: "Get married and have children, it's still as miserable when you're old!" ”

The corners of the old lady's mouth twitched: "What are you dissatisfied with me?" Regret marrying me? ”

The old man shook his head: "It's not that I regret it, it's just that you died too early, my son and I are not close, and my daughter and son-in-law went abroad." Anyway, I'm old, and I'm not happy in my old age. The so-called marrying a wife and having children, raising children to prevent old age, for me, who has experienced it, feels cheated. ”

The old lady choked, frowned, and her expression was unnatural: "That...... Then you can marry again, and you can also have a wife to accompany you and accompany you. ”

The old man was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I didn't believe in ghosts and gods before, I was afraid that you would come to me in the middle of the night to settle accounts, not to mention that I got sick later and walked through the ghost gate a few times, and I believed it, let alone look for it." I was thinking, if I find another one, how can I see you in the underworld, you will definitely ignore me, and I won't even have the face to be buried with you. ”

The old lady muttered awkwardly: "Count you as acquaintances!" ”

The old man asked softly, "Why don't you go and be reincarnated?" ”

His wife has been dead for 18 years, but he has been in the ghost town of Xudu, saying that he is not waiting for him, he does not believe it.

The old lady's face became even more unnatural, and she sulked: "Do you think it is so easy to be reincarnated?" I want to work hard for some time in the ghost town of Xudu and accumulate some merit, so that I can also be reincarnated into a good family. ”

"Are you really waiting for me?"

"It's not!" The old lady is awkward.

The old man understood.

Duplicity, she's always like that.

The couple stayed by their granddaughter's bedside until three o'clock in the morning, when the granddaughter went to bed.

The old man was not angry: "It's always day and night upside down, and sooner or later the body will break down!" ”

The old lady snorted: "It's because you didn't teach her well!" ”

The old man was depressed: "After you died, I have not been in good health, I have no time to take care of myself, how can I have the heart to teach my granddaughter, she later studied in international schools, boarding, and I rarely meet her." ”

"Well, she's asleep, and we're in her dreams! Teach her a good lesson! "The old lady is already gearing up.
