Chapter 140 Praying for Blessings and Wishing for Peace of Mind

The Double Ninth Boat is a small boat used by the common people to pray for blessings in the rivers, lakes and seas during the Double Ninth Festival.

The bow and stern of the Double Ninth Boat are all tied with dogwood. When the boat is sailing, the flowers and branches of dogwood are swaying on the surface of the river and lake, which is very elegant and beautiful.

"what?"

Ling Rong looked carefully at the slow-moving boats on the lake, and suddenly said:
"Ah? So this is the Double Ninth Boat? I've heard of it before, but I haven't had the chance to see it with my own eyes. It's all because Grandma restrained me and didn't allow me to run around."

She asked suspiciously: "But why are these small boats so small? Such a narrow boat can't hold a few people."

Zhuo Qingtan smiled lightly and said, "Because these small boats are not needed for the whole family to take a boat trip on the lake, they are specially used by a very small number of people."

Ling Rong looked over, and asked very puzzled: "Huh? Chongyang boat, as the name suggests, isn't it used for praying on the Double Ninth Festival? Shouldn't the whole family come to pray together on the boat?

How can there be a whole family in such a small boat?I'm afraid that even the five of us can't sit down? "

Zhuo Qingtan explained with a light smile: "Because, the common custom of the Double Ninth Festival is to climb the mountain with the whole family to look far away, and plant dogwood all over the mountain to pray for blessings.

However, considering that some elderly and frail people have difficulty walking and walking, and some ladies and ladies in deep boudoirs are not suitable for showing their faces, this Double Ninth Boat was created.

During the Double Ninth Festival, individuals who are inconvenient to climb high and look far can also take the Double Ninth Boat to pray for blessings near the lake. "

Lingrong nodded thoughtfully and said: "So that's the case, then I understand! Simply put, everyone who can climb the mountain will climb the mountain, and those who can't climb will come to take a boat. Anyway, there are people who want to pray Is this what you mean by finding a way to make your wish come true?”

She is so cute, Zhuo Qingtan couldn't help chuckling, nodded slightly, and praised: "Ling Rong is so smart."

Ling Rong chuckled, and said, "That's natural, who am I? I'm the No.1 rabbit spirit! I'm not the number one monster!"

She thought for a while, then looked at Zhuo Qingtan and An Luofu in shock.

"It's just that Xie Yuci and my grandma know about 'Chongyang Boat', but you two mortals also know about it? How come I'm the only one who doesn't know?"

An Luofu frowned and said: "Miss Lingrong, although senior sister and I are mortals, we are not fools."

Ling Rong stared at him: "Mr. An Xiao! What do you mean? Am I a fool?"

An Luofu was momentarily at a loss for words: "Miss Lingrong, that's not what I meant."

Ling Rong looked at him with an unkind expression, and said thoughtfully:

"Mr. An Xiaolang, you seem to be honest and honest, but I didn't expect you to point fingers at Sang and scold Huai?"

An Luofu glanced at her helplessly, and said, "It's just a slip of the tongue."

Did Da Zhu watch them bicker with a smile, or did Wan Qing finally find it hard to bear with it.

She shook her head with a smile, interrupted their quarrel, and persuaded helplessly:
"Silly Lingrong, do you think this is a rare thing? I used to always say that I knew the folk customs of the world like the palm of my hand, but I had never even heard the allusion of the Double Ninth Boat. Let alone the two immortals, it is the street Take a random child, maybe they all know what the Chongyang Boat is."

Lingrong was at a loss for words for a moment, she murmured and quibbled: "It's not my fault, I haven't even memorized the thousand-character prose, how can I remember so many miscellaneous things from the past?

——These mortals also have nothing to do all day long, inventing so many solar terms and festivals, either trekking mountains or wading through water, I think they are just too idle. "

An Luofu frowned and looked at her, as if he wanted to say something.

However, he remembered how difficult Ling Rong was before, and shut his mouth in a very sensible manner.

Wan Qing shook her head lightly: "You, it's obvious that you are ignorant and incompetent, yet you still blame others with your own words."

Zhuo Qingtan had been watching the quarrel between them with a smile before, and now he explained:
"In ancient times, ordinary people felt that mountains, rivers and lakes had auras, and they could convey their prayers and blessings to the heavens and let the gods and immortals know, so there were many rituals.

Some are to commemorate the ancestors and relatives, some are to pray for a happy future, and some are to remember the martyrs of the past.

For example, on the Double Ninth Festival, climbing a mountain and planting dogwood, sailing a boat near the water to pray for blessings, and another example, the river lanterns placed by the people near the water during the Moon Worship Festival on August [-]th, all originated from this. "

When Ling Rong heard this, she giggled and looked back at her.

"So I mean, these mortals are really stupid. One day in the sky is one year in the world. They have to celebrate so many festivals and pray to the gods so many times in the mortal world throughout the year. How can the gods in the sky have the time to listen to them one by one? Their prayer wishes?
People are very busy every day!These mortals, is this self-deception? "

Zhuo Qingtan and Xie Yuci were silent when they heard this sentence.

What Ling Rong said was harsh, but the truth is that this truth is correct.

When they were in Jiuchongtian back then, one who had been a high-ranking emperor and one who had been a decent and majestic priest in the Temple of the Fallen God naturally knew how busy the many immortals in the heaven were on weekdays.

Since the time between the immortal and mortal realms is not equal, there are indeed many things that the immortal officials in the sky have to deal with every day. It is equivalent to many major events accumulated in the mortal world for a year, and they have to finish them in one day in the sky.

Therefore, it is true that there will be no time and leisure to listen to the wishes and blessings of the mortal spirits and monsters in the lower world in many festivals.

Speaking of this, Ling Rong suddenly made a fuss and said "ah".

She raised a hand subconsciously, covered her mouth, and looked at Zhuo Qingtan and An Luofu with big round eyes.

"What. I said 'mortals are stupid' just now, but I didn't scold you! The people in your fairy sect are different from their ordinary mortals, so you are not stupid! Not only are you not stupid, but you are also sharp like monkeys."

It would be better not to add this explanation.

Zhuo Qingtan shook his head dumbfounded, naturally he wouldn't argue with her.

However, An Luofu, the only one in the private room who was a mortal from the beginning to the end, suddenly said:

"Miss Lingrong, this statement is wrong. Ordinary people pray to the heavens every festival, this is not self-deception. In fact, there are many things that you want to do right now, then do it.

As for whether others will know, and how will they treat you, what does it matter?

Pray for blessings and wish for peace of mind.Not only to pray to God, but also to respect oneself.

At least, at the moment of praying for blessings, they had hopes and joy in their hearts, and that would be considered as their wish fulfilled. "

When Xie Yuci and Zhuo Qingtan heard what he said, they couldn't help but subconsciously looked at each other.

Both of them remembered the conversation they had on the moat of Yanzhou City on the day of the Moon Worship Festival when they watched mortals release river lanterns.

Xie Yuci suddenly chuckled.

"It's not that the family doesn't enter the family. It's really worthy of being the junior who you taught by hand."

Even with regard to this kind of thing, the senior sister and the younger brother are actually exactly the same, very similar.

Zhuo Qingtan lowered his head and smiled, then shook his head slightly.

"Luo Fu is a child who has his own ideas. I didn't teach him these things."
