Both money and sex

The next day was New Year's Eve. Luo Ping didn't know about other places, but he had lived in Jiangcheng for so many years, and he always had reunion dinner at noon, but his father and Liu Lulu's family of three were used to having reunion dinner at night. But in the end these people still compromised, after all, do as the Romans do, so a grand and grand reunion dinner was decided to be eaten at noon, but there was a very, very important thing before eating the 'New Year's Eve dinner' in Jiangcheng, and that was going to the grave. .)

Generally speaking, people in the family go to the grave of the dead elder, and those who are married are not counted. No matter how far you are on this day, no matter how old you are, if your elder is buried in your hometown, you must go back to the grave. This is also why the people of Jiangcheng value the New Year's Eve so much, otherwise they will be poked in the back by others, saying it is unfilial. Although Luo Ping was born in the capital, he is an authentic Jiangcheng person, so after breakfast that day, he and Father went to the cemetery (going to the grave is only limited to the men of the family, which is why Jiangcheng people have a deep-rooted patriarchal thought. Of course, if there are girls in the family who eat 'old rice', they can also let the visiting son-in-law go to the grave.)

There are many types of graves, each of which has a different method of climbing. The countryside is full of earthen graves, so when going to the graves, men bring shovels to fill the soil, cut down the locust trees growing around the graves, and firecrackers. (Mulberry trees are a bad omen in the countryside. If there is a mulberry tree at the door of the house, it must not be allowed to exceed the roof, otherwise the house will definitely suffer from various disasters. \\.. \\~you).

It’s different in the city, the tombs are all tombstones, so you only need to bring a few bouquets of flowers and a little fruit offering, but you can’t bring paper money, because according to folklore, the ghost gate is usually closed on the 24th. The New Year's money must be sent before this day, of course the day before is the best time, at this time the elders will habitually go to the place to collect money and wait (this day is also the New Year's Eve in Jiangcheng, most other places are 23rd is the New Year's Eve. )

There is also a kind of grave, which is neither an earthen grave nor a tombstone. To put it bluntly, it is a lonely ghost. Since the dead body is not seen, it is impossible to know where it died, so it is always brought a pot of sake and sprinkled on the approximate place where it died. A little bit of power is filial piety to the elders.

Previously, Luo Ping had been pouring some sake on his mother by the East Lake. Although he now knew that his mother was not completely dead, in order not to make his father and others suspicious, he had to be more realistic. <Jie and other festivals are all rushing to the countryside and towns. No, the entire East Lake is deserted, which is unimaginable at ordinary times.

The two masters did not speak all the way, Luo Ping deliberately slowed down and let his father walk in front. When he went to Jiufeng Mountain some time ago, he still thought that his father was very healthy, after all, time is not forgiving, and once a person gets old, he will grow old very quickly.Even if Luo Ping can use wealth energy to restore it to some extent, he will still age unstoppably. After all, Luo Ping is not a god, and wealth energy is not an immortal medicine.

After arriving at the lake, the second master looked at the sparkling lake water. Even though the weather was good today, he still felt the chill, as if there were endless ice cubes in the lake water. Luo Xiangdong couldn't help shaking his body. Luckily, Luo Ping stepped forward in time to hold him firmly and it was all right.

"It's okay to go out. Why is it so cold now? The lake hasn't frozen yet. Why does it look so cold?" Luo Xiangdong said and tried to jump a few times to move his body.

Luo Ping didn't answer but stared blankly at the lake in a daze. He remembered that when he was in Jiufeng Mountain before, it seemed that the lake was said to be connected to this lake, and it was the eyes of the entire dragon vein, and the biggest feature of that lake was It's just that the water temperature is high, and it's a huge hot spring pool. How could it be possible that the water in the East Lake has become so cold?

"Kowtow to your mother. Although your boy is not as good-natured as I am, you are still doing well. You are qualified to kowtow to your mother, so that she will be happy in the sky."

When Luo Ping was in a daze, Luo Xiangdong patted his shoulder and motioned Luo Ping to kowtow.

Luo Ping quickly regained his composure, and then kowtowed three times to the center of the East Lake. After kowtowing, he was about to look up at his father when he suddenly realized that he was no longer on the edge of the East Lake.

He seemed to be inside a cave wall, surrounded by endless blackness, only the sound of dripping water could be heard, as if falling from the cracks above his head.

After Luo Ping stood still for a while, he tried to take a step and started to walk inside. Unlike the jagged rocks in his imagination, the inside was quite smooth, as if it had been washed by rain all year round. If he judged correctly, it might be a river. , just because it is winter and there is no water.

After Luo Ping walked more than ten meters away, there was a sudden roar in front of him. Listening carefully, it seemed to be the sound of a stone door opening.

Luo Ping trotted over quickly. Although he couldn't see the road under his feet and slipped a few times, he finally ran in before the stone gate closed. Whether it was a trap or not, he had to go first.

After entering, suddenly there was a dazzling light in front of him, Luo Ping hurriedly blocked his eyes, and after a while, the white light gradually became softer.

"It's you... Uncle?"

When Luo Ping saw Master Longxin and Uncle Longxin together, he immediately changed his name to Uncle, but he often didn't call, feeling a bit awkward.

"Hehe, very good, I haven't seen you for half a year, and you actually got another ear, and it was all absorbed, faster than I thought." When Master Longxin said this, his expression sank and he continued: " But the situation is a little tense now, and you must have noticed some abnormalities. The water in the East Lake is abnormally cold. , your mother's situation is not stable now, you have to find the remaining parts of the three-legged Yunlongding as soon as possible, you know?"

"I, can I see my mother?" Luo Ping didn't hear anything else, but his expression was a little excited, and he wanted to see his mother again, but was ruthlessly stopped by Master Long Xin.

When Luo Ping wanted to ask Master Longxin again, he became dizzy for a while, and when he woke up, he was on the edge of the East Lake again, feeling as if he had just had a dream. - No pop-up window reading_m
