Zhao Qingyue continued: "There is a chain bridge on the Jieyin River that has not been broken for thousands of years, and it is the Yin-Yang Bridge...... The reason why it is named Yinyang Bridge is that according to legend, it means that the North Mountain side belongs to ghosts, and the North Plains side returns to the Yang Room. So there is the first sentence: no bridge during the day. ”

At night, ghosts can cross the river and come to Beiyuan, but in principle, they are not allowed to enter Beiyuan Village, so there is a second sentence: Don't leave the village at night. ”

"However, there will always be some ghosts who will break into the village, in order to prevent being taken advantage of by the ghosts after falling asleep, it is necessary to use the exorcism candle to drive away the ghosts and protect themselves, so there is a third sentence: The candle is lit by the bed. ”

In the middle of the night, there is often a kind of ghostly ghost, which will transform into people's relatives, lovers, acquaintances, etc., making various noises outside the door, and even knocking directly on the door. ”

"Don't be fooled at this time, don't open the door, so there is a fourth sentence: Don't open the door in the middle of the night. ”

These four ancient proverbs have been observed by our village, and they have become the traditional customs and habits of our village for thousands of years. ”

"That'...... Are there any ghosts or ghosts?" Wang Qiyu touched his chin and asked curiously.

"I don't know. Zhao Qingyue shook her head and said with a smile: "In fact, there are not many incidents of encountering ghosts in legends, and a large part of the incidents turned out to be false in the end, and the rest are also unsubstantiated. ”

Zhao Qingyue said again: "However, whether there are really ghosts or not, this does not affect our life according to this tradition!"

"Why? Is it because 'it is better to believe in what is there than to believe in what is not.'"

"It's not...... Zhao Qingyue tilted her head, a little hesitant.

She thought for a moment, and then said, "Actually, at least there are two things in the old proverb that are fine." ”

Zhao Qingyue said seriously: "The first is not to cross the bridge, whether there are ghosts or ghosts on the other side of Beishan is another matter, but there are indeed many fierce beasts, and those who are not strong enough to cross the bridge are equivalent to going to death." ”

"It's not modest to say that my strength is counted in the village...... Yes, I only dared to pick herbs near the snow fruit forest, and I didn't dare to go deeper. You also saw it, Uncle Li...... It's the one with a broken leg, his strength is not bad, or a few people go into the mountains to hunt together, no, a broken leg!"

"So, it's not a bridge during the day, there's nothing wrong with it!"

"There is also the lighting of the candle to ward off evil spirits, which is rumored to be made by monks, and I don't know if it is true or not. ”

"Look ......"

Zhao Qingyue pointed towards the garden.

I saw that in the open air over there, wisps of white mist were rising from the ground, scattering in all directions.

"It's called Yin Fog, and it's unique to Kitahara and Kitayama. ”

"The mist itself is not poisonous, but if people stay in the mist for a long time, they will hallucinate, and in severe cases, they will kill people. ”

"Moreover, the fog will not be closed by the door, it will drift into the room through the cracks, and the people who sleep will also be affected by the fog, have all kinds of strange dreams, and there have been tragic things like killing people in dreams!"

"That exorcism candle can drive away the fog in a certain range, so ...... The candle is lit next to the bed, and there is nothing wrong with it!"

"Wow! I can't imagine such a strange thing in the world. Wang Qiyu looked at the wisps of mist that had slowly invaded the back hall and sighed.

"Yes!" Zhao Qingyue also nodded repeatedly.

"So, it's bedtime, and we should go back to our room?"

Zhao Qingyue felt a little awkward when she heard this, but she didn't think about it.

"Come, get a candle to ward off evil spirits. ”

In the drawer of the offering table, there was a large bundle of red candles, Zhao Qingyue took one and handed it to Wang Qiyu.

"You take the medicine and worship Master Wang three times. ”

The statue on the altar is the legendary King of Medicine, who is revered by the doctors as the ancestor.

Wang Qiyu followed the customs of the locals, did not refuse, and worshiped three times with a candle.

Then he wanted to light the candle on the altar with the big candle on the altar.

Zhao Qingyue hurriedly stopped, "Hey, no! You can't light a candle like this." ”

"Oh. Wang Qiyu scratched his head embarrassedly, he knew that it seemed that if he lit a candle like this, he would definitely commit some kind of taboo in this world.

"Take this point. Zhao Qingyue took a small cylinder from the offering platform and handed it to Wang Qiyu.

"What is this?

"This is a fire fold! Don't you even know this?"

"I don't know. Wang Qiyu shook his head.

"I'm kind of convinced now that you might really be from the stars. Zhao Qingyue thought it was incredible, Wang Qiyu didn't even know the commonly used fire folds......

"You don't need it, do you?"

Wang Qiyu smiled embarrassedly, "I really don't need it." ”

“......”

Zhao Qingyue looked at Wang Qiyu speechlessly, stretched out her hand, and took back the fire fold.

She just blew on one end of the fire fold, and the fire fold burned.

Then, Zhao Qingyue took the fire fold and lit the candle in Wang Qiyu's hand.

"When I get to the room, I'll put it on the bedside table. Remember, don't blow it out at night, don't worry about the candle burning out, don't look at such a short one, it burns slowly, enough for three nights. ”

"Oh. ”

"Let's go!" Zhao Qingyue walked towards the front yard, and Wang Qiyu hurriedly followed.

The white mist had completely invaded the hallway leading to the front yard, but the mist had the characteristic of being as thin as a light veil.

It only makes it hazy everywhere, but it doesn't completely obscure the view like a thick fog.

Even the moon and stars in the sky can be seen, but it is as if a thin veil is covered.

This makes the moonlight more hazy and charming.

"Chirp ......"

Insects hiding in the corners of the corner are singing their joyful songs.

The evening breeze blows lightly, and the night is as cool as water.

......

Entering the room that Zhao Qingyue had tidied up, Wang Qiyu put the candle on the small wooden cabinet at the head of the bed.

The furnishings in the room are simple, that is, a bed, a utility shelf, a wardrobe, a wooden table, two wooden stools, and a curtain.

Wang Qiyu remembered that there was also a place separated by a curtain in the large ward.

Wang Qiyu was a little curious and asked, "What are you doing there?"

Zhao Qingyue's face flushed, "Wait for you to see for yourself." ”

She pointed to the utility shelf, on which were two plates, one large and one small.

"A small face wash, a big foot wash. ”

She gestured to a large wooden bucket next to the utility shelf, "If you're going to take a shower, use this...... How much hot water do you need? I'll bring it to you. ”

"It's so good to make you so hard, I'll do it myself. Wang Qiyu said embarrassedly.

"What's this? You know, I have a lot of strength, and I'm not a weak lady. Zhao Qingyue seemed to be very proud of her strength, and raised her hand to bend her arm, and her big eyes smiled like a crescent moon.
