Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 2215 sacrifice to the sea
Zhong Laoliu agreed and went off to contact the more prestigious elders among the fishermen to make arrangements for worshiping the sea god tomorrow.

After all, Zhong Laoliu is a bit young, and he cannot preside over the important event of worshiping the God of the Sea on his own.

Qilu is the hometown of Confucius and the land of etiquette.Therefore, various worship activities are more complicated and have many procedures than other places.What did Confucius do?Not only is the ancestor of the teacher a teacher, but he also specializes in etiquette.Confucius was very particular about walking, sleeping and eating. Don’t sit on the table if the table is not straight, and don’t eat if the meat is not straight. These are Confucius’ etiquette...

Influenced by Confucius, the various activities in Qilu land are relatively orthodox and complicated.

Because time was tight, Zhong Laoliu and others stayed up almost all night before reluctantly arranging preparations for the next day's activities.

Early the next morning, the beach was crowded and very lively.

The sea worship activities here are very complicated. The sea god worshiped is well-known, the Dragon King.

The activity of worshiping the sea is just in front of the Dragon King Temple on the beach.

The three animals used for sacrifice have already been prepared, which are chicken, fish and black haired pig.The pig has been slaughtered long ago, and the hair has been shaved all over, except for a small black hair on the neck. Red silk cloth is knotted on the pig's body, and a red flower belt is hung on the pig's head.

In addition to the three animals, there are also steamed noodles and steamed buns.This is a dough sculpture handicraft, very big, weighing three to four pounds each.The shapes are rich, including peach buns, dragon buns, round flower buns, etc.It is painted with edible paint and looks very realistic.

All the sacrifices were placed on the incense table in front of the temple, and Taiping prose was written on yellow paper.

Because the future leader of going to sea will be Taoist Ghost, this time the Taiping Essays were written by Taoist Ghost himself.The signature is also the pseudonym of Taoist Ghost, Lin Baiyun, on a certain day of a certain year and a certain month.

This Taiping Wen Shu has been written, and then I will write the couplet.

The couplets were also written by Ghost Taoist Master. He first wrote the couplets on both sides of the Dragon King Temple: "The sea is calm and the water is peaceful."

Then there are five singles.

The first single frame was written and pasted on the mast of the first ship in the fleet: "The general is majestic in all directions"; the second single frame was pasted on the mast of the second ship: "The second general is majestic." "; then there is the third boat, with the words "Three generals send each other down the wind" posted on it;
Then paste a single poster on the bow of the first boat: "The bow of the boat travels thousands of miles without waves"; the stern of the stern boat corresponds to it, and pastes a single poster: "The stern of the boat travels thousands of miles with wind".

Then, jump over the Dragon Gate to seek good luck.

The dragon gate is made of pine and cypress branches and leaves. The gate is of double eaves style and is very tall, three feet wide and two feet high.First tie the frame with wooden poles, and then tie it with fresh pine and cypress branches.A plaque hangs above the door, and on both sides are banners with patterns such as two dragons playing with beads and fish leaping over the dragon gate, which is festive yet dignified.

The Ghost Taoist leader took the lead and led everyone through the Songbai Gate, which meant that the fish jumped over the Dragon Gate, and everything was smooth sailing from then on.

Next, there is a formation of fishing boats.All the fishing boats are lined up end to end, with the bow facing the sea and the stern facing the coast, anchored.The colorful flags of the fishing boats are fluttering, and the fishing gear and nets are neatly placed on the boats, ready to go to sea.

After completing all this, the fishermen swore in front of the Dragon King Temple to obey Uncle Lin's command.

After the vows were made, firecrackers went off and there was great joy.

The whole ceremony was very complicated. Fortunately, the ghost master was old and a patient elder.If Ding Ermiao were to do this, he would be so anxious that he vomits blood.

After the sea ceremony, there was a dinner party.

Everyone gathered in groups of three boats to drink and eat meat.

After a day of hard work, the next morning, Ghost Taoist Master took everyone out to sea.

Ghost Taoist Master took the first boat, and Zhong Laoliu led everyone behind.

Of course, there is another person to sail the fishing boat on Taoist Ghost's boat, so there is no need for the Taoist to do anything.

Holding a notepad in his hand, Zhong Laoliu drove the boat forward, alongside Ghost Taoist Master's fishing boat, and asked excitedly and loudly: "Uncle Lin, do you know how many fishing boats are going to sea with you today?"

The Ghost Master glanced at the fleet behind him and said: "Including my boat, there are a total of 96 boats. Some boats have two or three people, and some boats have three or four people, a total of 290 and six people."

"Uncle Lin, how did you know?" Zhong Laoliu was stunned and asked, blinking.

"Hey, it was the fortune teller in the dream who told me. He knew you would come to ask me, so he told me first." Ghost Taoist Master said.

Zhong Laoliu was stunned, and even worshiped Uncle Lin like a god, but said: "Uncle Lin, there are nearly a hundred fishing boats going out to sea, if all of them are full, then you will be five boats a day old!"

Calculated based on a commission of 5.00%, this is indeed the case.

"You do the math very well. From now on, I will give you half every time." Ghost Taoist Master said with a smile.

"Thank you, Uncle Lin, thank you, Uncle Lin!" Zhong Laoliu was even more elated, grinning from ear to ear.

In this case, Zhong Laoliu can get more than two boats of fish every day without having to fish by himself. Why not?
The team of fishing boats headed into the sea in an orderly manner.

When approaching the fishing area, Taoist Ghost suddenly gave an order to everyone to stop and wait for an hour and a half before taking action again.

Everyone didn't know what he meant, and there was inevitably some discussion.

The ghost leader waved his hand and said: "The fish haven't come yet. If we sail into the fishing area, we will only scare the fish away. Wait here, and we can ensure that you return home with a full load."

Everyone was a little dubious, but full of expectations, they stopped the ship and anchored.

After all, everyone has sworn an oath, even if what Uncle Lin says is wrong, everyone must listen.

An hour and a half later, the Ghost Daoist waved his hand and ordered everyone to sail at full speed.

When they arrived at the fishing area, the head ghost commanded everyone to disperse the boats, advance them in a crescent shape, and start fishing with the nets at the same time.

Everyone obeyed and started fishing operations.

This fishing was indeed different from the past, and the harvest was quite fruitful.

Almost every post online elicits screams of exclamation from everyone.

Seeing the white fish being caught, everyone was surprised and happy, as if they were dreaming.

But there are so many fishing boats that it is not easy to fill every boat.

The Ghost Daoist was smoking a cigarette, seeing that the school of fish here was almost cleaned up, he waved his hand to signal everyone to move on.

Everyone accepted the guy obediently and followed the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest was still the same as before, predicting the gathering place of the fish, timing it, and leading everyone to surround it.

After three encirclement and annihilation battles, by evening, the 96 fishing boats out to sea were basically full.The fishermen were all smiling and counting their harvests with their fingers.

"Turn the rudder, it's time to return...!" Ghost Daoist sent an order for everyone to return.

"We're back on the voyage, we're home!" Zhong Laoliu yelled to everyone with a loudspeaker.
