4 Crowning
The crowning ceremony is very grand, the strange thing is the attitude of the elders, each with tears in their eyes, full of emotions, even the villagers who usually meet and hide are also excited, it may be rendered by the atmosphere of the ceremony, it's like, well, it's like looking at their own children, there is a good posture of my family's young growth, and no one has come out to make trouble, although it is not looking forward to making trouble, but according to normal thinking, there are always one or two righteous people who should stand up and accuse the village chief of using the public for personal gain or explain how ridiculous it is to perform the crown ceremony for a criminal, however, no, it can only be said that the village chief is well educated and the people are simpleγ
After the ceremony, Shen Xi realized that the most important thing in the coronation ceremony was not the crowning, but the moon worship!
In fact, this is also a very unbelievable move, because there is a saying that animals worship the moon, such as foxes, rabbits, etc., they worship the moon in order to absorb the moon, for cultivation, and more importantly, worship the moon and worship the moon, worship the full moon!
When the new moon is the first day of the lunar calendar, this day is lucky to see the curved small barbed moon at the beginning of the month, bad luck, nothing can be seen, the moon of the new day is black and wow, so what is the moon worship on this day?
When Shen Xi was thinking nonsense, the village chief appeared with a smile, and the whole ceremony, the village chief just stood aside and watched with the villagers, his eyes were both relieved and happy, but when Shen Xi looked over, he found that the village chief also had a trace of gloom in his eyes, because the village chief who had been in contact with the most in the past ten years, and Shen Xi could also sense the subtle expressions, Shen Xi asked the village chief, "Why don't you crown me?"
The village chief's face became strange, as if he was shocked that Shen Xi would say this, and as if he had already been questioned once, the village chief looked at Shen Xi, but he was silent for a long time, and waved his hand to signal Shen Xi to go back to the grass house to rest.
When Shen Xi turned around and was about to leave, he looked back at the village chief: "Is it important to worship the moon when you are a child?"
The village chief seemed to be immersed in some kind of emotion, and only nodded.
"Then please crown me once. β
The village chief looked at the back of Shen Xi as he finished speaking, and the crowned costume dragged out deep and shallow traces on the ground, and suddenly covered the ground with a layer of understated red, blinking, and seemed to be scattered in the air, leaving only a little fishy smell.
"You don't have to worry about me, if I fall into the darkness, I'll wait for my eyes to get used to it. The tone of the free and easy nature, the person who does not understand the world condenses in front of his eyes, and then dissipates.
"This time, will it be like this?" If Shen Xi turned his head, he might be able to see the doctor and the village chief in the painting watching him together, and the meaning in his eyes was unclear.
Midnight soon came, four willow-like little pink snakes were also in Shen Xi's arms, followed together to the place where the crown was crowned during the day, during the day because of Shen Xi's farce, he himself was a little embarrassed, so he did not carefully observe where this was, at this moment to take a closer look, the village chief is afraid that he has really injected his heart and soul, this is obviously an ancestral temple hall, this hall only has a fire candle lit in the middle tablet, the surroundings are dim, although there is no wind coming in, you can always feel the slightest coolness from the heart, scattered from the inside out, the inscription on the tablet in the middle is also different from the usual, the middle tablet is on the book"Worship the god Candle's Nine Yin Throne" has no birthday, no death day, and the surrounding tablets are in the shape of the Candle's Nine Yin into the arch moon, and the surname is also different, the surname is bamboo, and the book is "so the spiritual position of a certain generation of the Bamboo Family".
This can no longer be regarded as an ancestral hall, like whose ancestral temple, my God, this ancestor is really tolerant, allow me to be an outsider to worship incense to the sky, the village chief is really powerful, Shen Xi muttered in his heart, suddenly thought of the book had read the saying "worship misplace, ghost chase", I couldn't help but feel creepy, and quickly lit three incense sticks before people came, performed three bows and nine bows, and read, "Sacrifice the ancestor in the spirit of the sky, thank the ancestor for blessing and protection" Every time I read it, I bow once, I am extremely pious, and I hope that the ancestors of this ancestral hall will see me so pious, and don't treat me well in the future.
As soon as the ceremony was completed, the village chief and the guest of honor during the day also arrived, and the guest of honor and praise were all old men who were more trembling than the village chief.
"You come forward," said the old man of honor during the day, holding the crown in his hand, because the crown ceremony is to ask for one crown, and then three crowns, and because of this wave of moon worship, the three crowns seem to be added when the last moon worship is kept, "You kneel, the old man will give you three crowns." β
Shen Xi looked at the village chief, he only nodded slightly, meaning to agree, I don't know if I have fought for it, this old man, seeing that you want to crown me, you are going to be depressed, and you have already proposed to let you add it to me, why are you still robbed of an errand by others? After Shen Xi finished speaking, in front of his left hand, he bowed down with a chime, pushed his hand with his palm flat and his chest pushed out, and at the same time folded with his crotch chime, his head and body did not move, and after getting up, he lowered his hand and stood with his forked hand, and performed a standard first meeting, respecting the family salute of the elder.
After the village chief saw this, although he was a little moved, he couldn't help but think in his heart, is this your ancestral hall or your parents, your family is really familiar with etiquette, the village chief pushed back again and again, "Although I have a heart, I am actually unworthy of this position." β
The eldest elder was already teary-eyed, grabbed Shen Xi's hand, kept patting, but said to the village chief, "Little Qi, you teach well, brother is a good one, a good one, just let him do it." The praiser on the side also supported the elder with tears in his eyes.
"No, the Great Elder is still the most appropriate for you to crown," the doctor in the morning, came to mix blindly again, Shen Xi pouted, who knew that the doctor turned his head at this moment, looked at Shen Xi, his eyes were full of seriousness, "I am for your good," and turned to the village chief, "...The three crowns are the most important crown..."
Shen Xi couldn't hear the latter words very clearly, and the sentence kept echoing in his mind, "I'm for your good", "Twilight", "You believe me", "I'm for your good", "I'm all for you" These words kept hitting Shen Xi's head, with a splitting headache, I don't know who kept saying it repeatedly in his mind, Shen Xi knocked his head hard with both hands, trying to throw these pains out of his brain, the doctor also noticed Shen Xi's strangeness at this moment, grabbed Shen Xi's hand and quickly took a pulse, watching Shen Xi keep covering his headache and humming, he noticed that he was afraid of being hit by something, "Relax, try to go with the flow." However, at this moment, Shen Xi's mind was talking too much, and he couldn't hear the doctor's advice, the doctor obviously realized this, his palm gently covered the back of Shen Xi's head, and the fluorescence of the palm fell into the hair, as if penetrating into Shen Xi's mind, he said patiently, "Listen to me, you try not to resist, take your time." β
Shen Xi gradually calmed down, and just tried to recognize the sentence "I'm good for you", when something suddenly broke into his head.
