Linjiang Township.

"Put all the tables on the table, no one is missing. "The tables in the square in front of the temple were full, and some people were shouting.

"How is it? Have all the villagers, lizheng, and household heads from all the townships arrived?" a strong man in a green round-necked robe looked towards the road, urging the villagers around him.

"If you haven't arrived, don't hurry up and please. ”

As soon as a few villagers ran out, they saw a large group of people coming over on the road at the entrance of the village, led by a few old people who were supported by young people.

"It's coming, it's coming!"

"People from other towns have come. ”

The strong man in the round neck and green robe immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"It's getting more and more popular!" The old man looked at the prosperous scene with satisfaction, looked at the three animal sacrifices in the temple, and nodded constantly.

"Okay! I'm getting better and better. Several other old men also said again and again.

After a salute, everyone sat down, and it can be said that there were people everywhere in front of the temple and behind the temple.

Sun Tieshan, a strong man who took the lead in the confrontation with the Five Poisons Sect River Temple in the past, has now been elected as the common Lizheng of several villages in Linjiang Township.

In the past, the old grandson of Linjiang Township was victorious, but he died of a fever in the summer of this year.

It turned into a tablet and placed it in the side hall of the temple.

Because of the special nature of the empty dust Daojun Temple in Linjiang Township, it was the place where the Daojun was once truly manifested, so the ten miles and eight townships competed to move the ancestral spiritual positions with their heads and faces to the side hall.

Therefore, on the day of the Midyear Festival, people from all over the country came.

Ten miles and eight townships have been prosperous for a year, and it can be said that everything is appropriate.

Everyone said that it was based on the blessing of the Empty Dust Daojun and the blessing of the Daojun.

Today's Midyear Festival, everyone is happy to come here, hoping to worship the ancestors and repay the vows through this festival, and the next year can be the same as this year.

The sky is getting dark, and the candles in the Daojun Temple are full of lights and lights.

A fire also ignited in the big ding in front of the temple, illuminating the front and back of the temple.

"The hour has come. ”

"It's almost time to get started. ”

"Get up!"

Sun Tieshan took the leaders of Shili and Eight Townships, knelt in front of the Daojun Temple, prayed to the Kongchen Daojun about the situation of the entire Shili and Eight Townships last year, and thanked the Kongchen Daojun for his blessing.

Finally, he said.

"Linjiang Township is Sun Tieshan seeking empty dust to bless me for ten miles and eight townships, and the coming year will still be smooth and smooth, and increase people. ”

Everyone shouted in unison, and everyone shouted with Sun Tieshan, with a pious face.

The children who are kneeling on the ground are different, and although they are bowing to the front, their eyes are constantly looking at the table behind them, waiting for the worship to be over.

In the eyes of the villagers kneeling on the ground, only candlelight can be seen, and the statues of the gods in the temple look extremely mysterious in the light and shadow and incense.

But no one saw that the Empty Dust Dao Monarch and the Donkey General were watching them from above the altar.

The donkey general had a smile on his face, and the donkey's head swayed from side to side,

Because in this temple, only his donkey general and the empty dust Dao Jun are enshrined, there is no Yun Jun, and even the Qinglong Boy only has an exposed sword figure.

The donkey general boasted to the other two Dharma Protectors: "Do you see it, do you see it." ”

"Why the world is so stable, why the people here are living so well now, it's all the credit of my donkey general. ”

The Qinglong boy said coldly: "I cut the demon, and you finally took the tail, burned a broken temple, and arrested a few mortals." ”

The donkey general raised his hooves and pointed to himself on the altar: "See, above the altar, my position is so prominent." ”

"What does this mean, what does it mean?"

It means that the eyes of the common people are bright, and they can see that my donkey general is their benefactor in fire and water. ”

In fact, the statue of the donkey general looks hideous and vicious, and even the eyes are red.

It can be seen how fierce and vicious it is in the eyes of the villagers of ten miles and eight towns.

Everyone said that this was a big demon who was subdued by the Empty Dust Dao King!

Kongchen Daojun's gaze swept over, and when he saw the prosperous scene of ten miles and eight towns, the corners of his mouth raised.

Looking towards the entire Linjiang Township again, there are no traces of lonely souls and wild ghosts in the township, and it seems that the ghosts and gods in Jiangzhou are doing a good job.

After some worship, the people of ten miles and eight towns are inseparable from eating and drinking according to the customs of the Great Zhou, no matter what the celebration is.

Tian Ding has to eat, the dead have to eat, the wife has to eat, and the souls of the ancestors are sacrificed on the Midyear Festival, and of course they have to eat.

Kongchenzi sat on the altar and ate a few cups of the sacrificial wine that the villagers offered to him.

The Taoist closed his eyes, as if feeling the rhyme of wine: "Yes, there is the taste of new valley." ”

The wine made by the villagers is not a good wine, but it has the smell of a new valley and the rhythm of life.

The donkey general was unceremonious, and gnawed a plate of pig's head meat that was enshrined, and when it was over, he thought the meat was too greasy, and swept away the melons and fruits under the altar.

One immortal and three gods, just like this, sat on the altar, watching the gongs and drums outside the temple, blowing and singing.

While eating and drinking, the moon slowly climbed up the treetops.

Linjiang Township Land Temple.

The door is windless and automatic, open to the outside.

A deity dressed in earth-gray clothes walked out of the temple, and it was the land lord of Linjiang Township.

The land lord carried a lantern, as if he had been called, and headed towards the river.

When you come to the river, you can see a sparse lotus lantern down the river, which is the lantern that has been lowered from the upstream Jiangting City.

You can imagine what a lively and prosperous scene it is in Jiangting City at this moment.

The land lord of Linjiang Township looked at the lanterns that went downstream, stepped on the river with lanterns, and walked upstream.

And as you get closer and closer to Jiangting City, you can see that the shadows of ghosts and gods appear one after another.

The county gods, mountain gods, land, and wandering gods of all counties and counties gathered here, stepping on the river, and heading towards Jiangting City.

And in each god's hand, he carries a lantern.

Mortals can't see these ghosts and gods, but these ghosts and gods can't see the immortals on the shore either.

On the shore, Kongchenzi carried the porcelain pot of new wine offered to him by the Linjiang villagers, and rode a donkey along the riverbank.

The Taoist took a sip of wine and looked at the river.

The mighty lanterns and ghosts illuminate the rivers and go upstream.

Under his feet, one lotus lamp after another flowed by, flowing downstream.

Strange and mysterious.

In the distance, the walls of Jiangting City loomed, and Yun Jun looked at the lanterns carried by the ghosts and gods, and saw that there was something unusual in them.

"Sir, ...... in this lantern"

"Looks like they're all ghosts?"

The lanterns flickered with fluorescent light, as if carrying countless fireflies.

But every bit of this firefly is a lonely ghost that is confined to the local chaos and chaos.

Although Yun Jun knew that the ghost door of the Midyear Festival was wide open, he didn't know how this Yin Cao Difu sent the Yin Soul into the underworld for reincarnation.

Empty Dust nodded.

"All living beings in the world are born, old, sick and die, and it is impossible to send a ghost and god to greet everyone and open the ghost gate once. ”

Therefore, the Difu Yin Division has set that on the day of the Ghost Festival in Zhongyuan every year, all the ghost gates in all parts of the world will be opened. ”

"The ghosts and gods of all parties used this soul-attracting lamp to gather those chaotic lonely souls and wild ghosts, and gathered in the state city to send them into the underworld when the ghost door was wide open on the Midyear Festival. ”

"Today is the first time that the ghost door of the Midyear Festival has been opened, which is related to the operation of the reincarnation of the entire underworld. ”

"Let's go and see what this Halloween is like. ”

Kongchenzi rode on a donkey, just like he had once entered Jiangzhou City.

Jumping up dozens of feet, overlooking the night view of Jiangzhou from the height of the sky.

Fall into the city.
