Qi Yu Millennium

King Kong Pao came back the next evening, bringing a lot of joss sticks and two jars of white wine.

"What's the news outside?" I opened my eyes and asked.

"I didn't run that far, I don't know." King Kong Pao shook his head and said.The outskirts of Kunlun Mountain are very bleak, let alone priests, and there are not many ordinary residents.

"Go to sleep, I'll drop by." I stood up and picked up the joss stick brought back by Vajra Cannon.

"Go, go." King Kong Pao didn't intend to follow, he liked being the crane among the chickens, not the chicken among the cranes.

"Give me a jar of this." I turned to pick up a jar of wine.

Seeing this, King Kong Pao rolled his eyes back, but didn't say anything to stop him.

The Earth Lord surnamed Ge has a temple. On a small hill three hundred miles northeast of the cave where we are located, after going there, he searched carefully, and finally found the shabby Earth Temple under a big tree. , there is only a low stone house in the temple, there is not even a statue in it, there is only a wooden tablet with writing on it. I don't know when and who built the Earth Temple, because no one has come here all the year round. When offering sacrifices and offering incense, the entire Earth Temple is covered with knee-high weeds.

It was already night, and he walked into the small temple in the dark, let go of the incense candles and other things he brought one by one, and lit them with a twig of fire, at the same time he said loudly, "This land, Elder Ge, is useful!"

I have said before that this incense has the same effect on gods and ghosts. To them, the gas emitted by burning incense candles is like the spiritual energy absorbed by monks, and the spirit of gods also needs the support of incense.The more incense a temple receives, the more effective the deities enshrined in it will be. This is a virtuous circle process.And vice versa, if there is no one offering incense in a temple all year round, the gods there must also be silent.

In addition, when we burn incense candles and paper money to worship our ancestors, we must read the full name of the ancestors, not just the seniority such as grandpa, otherwise those lonely ghosts will rush to be your grandpa.In fact, the best time to sacrifice is after nightfall rather than early morning, because ghosts dare not come out when the sun rises. Who will you burn in broad daylight and who will dare to come out to take it?

No one dares to go to the cemetery in the dark, and it is useless to sacrifice during the day, so most of the ghosts in the underworld are in a state of hunger, so there is a situation in which they dream of their children and grandchildren.If you are a filial descendant, then go to the cemetery to burn incense and sacrifice in the middle of the night. The premise is that you have a clear conscience.

In addition, we can often see people burning paper money and joss sticks at crossroads. This is not a sacrifice to deceased relatives. To put it bluntly, burning paper money from here is to bribe ghosts, maybe you will meet one or two who can't bear to eat free food and will repay you.

After burning the incense, Mr. Ge soon appeared to meet each other.

This small temple is just a place where he receives incense and offerings. In fact, the Earth Lord does not live here, because he has no body and can live underground, but usually he will not be far away from the Earth Temple.

"Brother, this is really frustrating, brother." Ge Lao was flattered to see me bring incense candles to him.The two chatted for a day a few days ago, and this old talker has already called me a brother.

"Old Ge, the moon is bright tonight, my brother is here to enjoy the moon and have a drink with you." I shook the wine jar in my hand. Earth immortals and ghosts all smell smells. Sniffing is like drinking swig.

"This, this, I can't repay you." Old Ge's eyes lit up immediately.It seems that he is not only a talker, but also an alcoholic.

"You and I hit it off right away, brother, I will definitely come to meet you often in the future." I slapped the mud seal and it was about to fall over.Sprinkling wine on the ground is the correct way of offering sacrifices.

"Wait a minute, brother!" Seeing this, Elder Ge hurriedly stopped him.

"Oh?" I stopped in doubt.

"Brother, don't get me wrong. My old friends live here all year round, and it's rare to see such good wine. I want to invite those friends to come and enjoy it. Is it possible?" Elder Ge asked.

"My old brother's friend is my younger brother's friend. Hurry up and invite me together. There is still an altar in my younger brother's cave, and I will bring it together. I will return in a while." I said and stood up.Great, God help me too.

Seeing this, Old Ge disappeared instantly, and I also urged the Fengxing Jue to the extreme and returned in a flash. Fortunately, the altar of wine and the Vajra Cannon had not had time to move.

"Fuck, what are you going to do?" Seeing me grabbing the wine jar, King Kong Pao hastily left the mouse behind and rushed towards me.Sishu runs in the wild all year round, so it is inevitable to have lice and bloodworms on its body. King Kong Pao pinches the lice and pulls bloodworms for it in his spare time.

"Bribe the land master." I turned and left.

"What is there to bribe the Lord of the Land, no, I can't take it all away." King Kong Cannon stared at me anxiously.

"I want to find out from them where the Queen Mother lived before she ascended." I explained.

"Why are you looking for her?" King Kong Pao curled his lips and frowned.

"Chang'e should regret stealing the elixir, Bihaiqingtian is heartbroken every night." I turned around and recited Li Shangyin's poem at the Vajra Cannon.

"Don't talk to me, I don't understand, what are you doing with Chang'e, Queen Mother?" King Kong Pao shook his head again and again.

King Kong Pao's words instantly made me feel like a cow playing the piano, "Chang'e is Hou Yi's wife. Back then, Hou Yi begged for an elixir from the Queen Mother, and the two of them could live forever as husband and wife after eating half a pill. That elixir was eaten by Chang'e alone, and she became a fairy in the end, leaving poor Houyi behind."

"I know all this, why do you think she did that?" King Kong Pao asked with a frown.

"Some people say that she swallowed it out of fear of being snatched away by others, while others say that she swallowed it out of greed. After fighting for thousands of years, there is no accurate answer." I shook my head and replied.Regarding Chang'e's motivation for swallowing the elixir, Liu An's "Huainanzi" and Zhang Heng's "Lingxian" have completely different opinions.

"That guy is a second stubble, I think it's a shame to be alone." King Kong Pao analyzed self-righteously.His so-called second stubble is a woman who has been married. Many people don't know that Chang'e was actually the woman of Emperor Shun at first, and then followed Houyi. This is also recorded in history books, but later generations are unwilling to beautify her. Speaking of that period of history, it seems that it is not poignant to say that there was a marriage.

"Okay, I'm leaving." I turned to pick up the wine jar and was about to go out.

"Wait, wait, I almost let you go in. We are talking about the Queen Mother. You have been talking about Chang'e for a long time." The King Kong Cannon Detective stopped me.

"It was you who changed the subject, okay?" I had no choice but to explain to Vajra Cannon one by one, "The Queen Mother is also called the Golden Mother of Yaochi. The elixir she asked for can make Chang'e ascend, which shows the magical effect of the elixir. Before she ascended, she lived in Kunlun Mountains. I want to bribe those lands to find the place where she lived before ascending. Maybe I can find a few leftovers. The elixir."

"Here, here is a bottle of ten-year apricot flower red." King Kong Pao was generous when he heard the elixir, and happily took out a celadon bottle from his arms and handed it over.

"Put it away, that's enough." I waved my hand away from the porcelain bottle in Vajra Pao's hand.

I'm not sure whether these two jars of wine can give us any useful clues. Those land lords are old and mature people. I have to go around in a big circle, and I can't ask directly...
