Chapter One Hundred and Fortieth, Zhongyuan Festival

"What's this?"

"liquor."

"What is this?"

"Sprite."

"Where is this?"

"Coca Cola."

"Great immortal, give me a bottle of Sprite."

"become."

Li Wei took out a bottle of iced Sprite from the refrigerator, and then Bai Shanjun poured it down, and felt from his head to his tail.

A cup of ice is falling, and it is as happy as a god, which means another bottle.

The freezer that the ninth department agreed to was delivered the next day, and it is still a military-grade variety.

Jiang Xing also gave a large number of canned cats in private.

In response, Bai Shanjun said that this old man is good and can handle it.

"Try this turtle beer?"

"Try it..." Bai Shanjun licked it and burst into tears: "Oral area, Daxian, why did you let me drink urine?"

Li Wei smiled and then drank it.

"Daxian, you drink urine? I'll keep it for you..."

"You guy." Li Wei said laughing and crying: "This thing is called wine. Du Kang relieves worries. If you drink it, all the troubles in the world will be gone. You will be drunk for a while and you will not be sad."

"But I drink like urine..."

"Hahaha, wine is a shortage in the human world." Li Wei drank a little beer and poured it into his throat, a little dry and spicy to his nose.

“Why?”

"Because the world is so annoying, you need alcoholic beverages to temporarily forget the sorrows of the world."

Li Wei smiled.

"It's just pretentious."

Baishanjun said disdainfully: "Humans are just worried about life every day. We creatures in the mountains do not suffer so much about life. We will only fight to survive until dawn."

How to live until the next day is something that the creatures in the mountains should and are willing to think about.

Like life, feelings, and sorrow, they are not qualifications that beasts can possess.

In Baishanjun's opinion, humans who have no worries about survival are so worried about this and that, they are simply a thirsty thing.

Then, Baishan Jun took a big coke.

"If you want to explain the worries, Ice Coke will help you relieve worries more."

For Mr. Baishan, the only thing to relieve worries is Ice Coke! Is there anything more to relieve worries in this human world than Ice Coke?

Li Wei was really amused and crying, but what Bai Shanjun said was indeed reasonable.

Many times, the so-called troubles are just troubled by mediocre people.

But Li Wei also liked it very much. In the summer, a glass of cold beer and a bowl of peanuts passed in one night.

At this time, Li Wei not only bought iced drinks in the refrigerator, but also bought some snacks.

It’s also a great pleasure to drink with delicious food.

"It's July fifteenth without realizing it."

"What's wrong with July 15th?"

In his life with Li Wei, Bai Shanjun also learned a lot of knowledge about the world, such as months, techniques, and some ordinary time-calling methods.

At this time, Li Wei said as if he had known it.

"The fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month is the Zhongyuan Festival, the Ghost Festival, the folk sayings, and the Zhongyuan Festival in our Taoism. Buddhism is also called the Ullamban Festival, which is the day when the two Buddhists and Taoists forgive ghosts, and it is also the day when the people use this to worship the incense and the customs."

The annual event of Taoism is divided into three times (collectively called "Sanyuan"), and it is believed that "Sanyuan" is the nickname of the "Sanguan Emperor", the Earth Official Emperor and the Water Official Emperor. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the fifteenth day of the seventh day and the fifteenth day of the tenth day of the first lunar month are called "Shangyuan" - the birthday of the heavenly official, mainly a ceremony of blessing. The fifteenth day of the seventh day of the seventh day is called "Zhongyuan" - the birthday of the earthly official, which is used to forgive the sins of the dead souls. (The Zhongyuan ritual is to forgive the sins of the dead souls, but the sins cannot be completely relieved, but it is only relieved. I hope they will rest as soon as possible.) The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is called "Xiayuan" - the birthday of the water official, which is to relieve the misfortune for those who have mistakes.

People believe that the gate of hell is open for one month in July, and all the masterless and lonely souls come out of the underworld and receive the support of the people in the world. Therefore, all places hold "universal" sacrificial rituals this month to prevent lonely souls from making trouble.

In fact, the folk practices are not much different from those of Taoist priests. Taoist priests just add one

"It seems that sometimes I feel that ghosts and spirits are more active, and that day I especially like to drink water at night..."

Bai Shanjun thought about it and felt that there was indeed an explanation for this matter. When he was in the mountains, he would also feel that there were many ghosts and active things. Maybe that was the Ghost Festival Zhongyuan mentioned by the Great Immortal.

"First of all, some steamed buns and lotus lanterns..."

At this time, Li Wei was going down the mountain to buy some valuable candles and steamed buns for the next rituals and sacrifices.

After explaining the matter, Li Wei went down the mountain to buy some things and sacrificial lamps and smoke candles for the purpose of the rituals on July 15th.

After going down the mountain, I happened to pass by Mei’s tofu shop.

I found that she didn't open the door today. Out of curiosity, she came to the backyard of the store and found that she was also making steamed buns.

"Are you making steamed buns? Prepare for the Zhongyuan Festival."

"Um."

The plum's delicate jade hands were stained with water stains and flour. After all, it was also the body of a mountain god, and there was no sweat stain on his forehead.

"I didn't expect that you, the body of a mountain god, would have to prepare the steamed buns for sacrifice yourself."

In the past, the plum blossoms were the ones that received the worship, but now they have become the ones that need to be made by themselves.

"I am no longer the body of a mountain god." Mei made the steamed buns and put them on the steamer, and said lightly: "Always accept the status quo and accept the current lifestyle."

Li Wei also went to prepare steamed buns and things for sacrifices to the wild ghosts.

Perhaps in modern folk, there are already many people who have passed the Zhongyuan Festival, after all, there are not many people who respect and believe in ghosts and gods.

Perhaps more people gather together through the Zhongyuan Festival to bring family members who have not been together for a long time together for activities and meals.

Xiangmen Mountain Village is also more popular than before. Young people from other places come back here and are called back by their elders to celebrate this traditional festival.

In fact, the elders just want young people to have a reason to go home, that's all.

Xiangmen Mountain Village showed a long-lost active and energetic spirit.

Everyone is preparing for the next sacrificial ceremony on July 15th, and the children help to fold the lotus boat.

What kind of ghost festival is clearly a holiday.

Mei, who was standing by, was also slightly surprised to see the happy scene in the village: "It seems that the current Zhongyuan Festival is different from the Zhongyuan Festival we were back then."

"Let's feel it, our modern people's Zhongyuan Festival is actually... quite interesting."

The next day, after preparing the sacrificial expenses, Li Wei also felt the rising spirit of ghosts.
