The fox has no bad intentions

Chapter 174 Techniques
"嘤嘤嘤!"

The Changxi villagers lifted Ansheng's sedan high. The little fox stood up, arms raised, and jumped on the sedan like a human.

Amidst the blast of firecrackers and the roar of gongs and drums, one of the ritual activities before the opening of the tea-fighting competition, the welcoming ceremony, came to the stage of inviting the master to take his seat and offering sacrifices.

Master Fuli from Changxi Town ranked first and second in the shrine.

Above the shrine, there are several traditional statues of righteous gods placed on top.

"You guys are still as sharp as ever!" Old Chen walked forward with a smile on his face, patting the shoulders of Yu Zhenghong and several other older sedan bearers.

"You haven't brought shame to our village. Come on, we've got some tea ready for you. Go over there and take a rest. Then you can light the first incense stick!"

If it were any other time, the ranking of the gods in the parade would not be a big deal for Lao Chen, but this year the tea-fighting competition was held in Changxi Town. It felt quite strange to worship the gods of other villages in his own village.

Fortunately, the first place did not go to any other village, and there was no plot of apology afterwards.

However, the processions from other villages will probably have to kneel in the ancestral hall when they return to the village.

The energetic young people lost to a group of old climbers in the three or four kilometers of flat road.

and also!

Anyone who almost pushed the master out of the sedan chair must also kneel down!

"The village chief has a snake! A king cobra!"

Yu Zhenghong was so tired that he almost fell to the ground, but he was still panting and explaining to Lao Chen that there was a king cobra in the grass outside the farmers' market.

As Yu Zhenghong explained the whole story, Old Chen looked at Master Fuli with a slightly strange expression, muttering to himself:

"Master Fuli from our village"

"As expected of a boss who's used to big scenes and manages a wildlife crime network."

"As soon as you open your mouth, you can call in a professional killer."

Old Chen complained with a dark face.

…………

With the end of the parade, the human gods of each village returned to their positions in the shrine according to their ranking in the competition. A giant rectangular bronze incense burner was moved to the temporary shrine with the help of young people.

The shrine is built at the entrance of the venue, facing the tea-fighting competition area in the distance. The gentlemen sitting on it can enjoy the scenery of the tea-fighting competition while eating incense and offerings.

As the runner-up, Ansheng had a very good position, sitting in the center with the incense burner right in front of him.

Yu Zhenghong's motorcade was at the front, holding a nearly half-meter-long tribute incense stick in his hand. He was the first to walk to the incense burner and respectfully burn incense and worship the gods in the shrine.

Other members of the procession followed Yu Zhenghong to burn incense, followed by respected elders from other villages and ordinary villagers.

"Is this incense really necessary?" Mo Yiqing looked dully, looking at the incense burner in front of him that had turned into a hedgehog's armor, and said to Aqing.

After the incense sticks are lit, they are generally left alone until they are burned out or it is time to clean them.

When it was the younger generation's turn to burn incense, the incense burner in front of them had already turned into an armed hedgehog with burning flames and wafting incense. If they put their hands in it, they would get burned.

"In my experience, when we see a fire hedgehog, we have two options. The first is to bite the bullet and scrape our arms through the burnt incense ash while inserting the incense in our hands into the incense burner. This way, although it will be a little hot, we won't get burned by the incense."

"The second thing is to clean the incense ash. Although it won't be as easy to rub against, it will still burn you."

"In order to prevent burns when burning incense, every household has a special way of burning incense."

Yu Xueqing had a mysterious smile on her face, and there was some helpless complaint in her eyes.

In the Xiadong area, burning incense is a technical job.

There are even special techniques for burning incense. But the techniques here do not mean how respectful or special postures should be used when burning incense, but how to prevent yourself from being burned by the incense in the incense burner.
Mo Yiqing: “.” So, is this incense really necessary?

Since they were already there, Yu Xueqing invited her father Yu Zhenghong to come over and teach her how to burn incense.

Yu Zhenghong looked at the incense burner, calculated geometric equations in his mind, and instructed Yu Xueqing and Mo Yiqing to use the parabolic incense technique, using the incense sticks as darts to directly pierce the incense burner.

After all the villagers finished their worship.

Yu Xueqing took a piece of red paper, came to the second place where Master Fuli was standing, and picked up the little fox.

On An Sheng's original seat, there was a piece of red paper with An Sheng's style, which read:

[The master has requested leave to relax. If you have any questions, please contact us at the tea competition venue.]

Wait until Ansheng leaves.

The villagers from other villages, as well as the tea merchants and tourists who came later, looked at the second place in the shrine with question marks on their faces.

The shrine is set up at the entrance of the venue, naturally to make it convenient for tourists to burn incense.

but!
The second-place winner asked for leave.
The master took a leave of absence and went out to have fun.

"Grandpa, Grandpa, can the master take a leave? Can we also carry the big nanny to play?"

A child from another village looked at his grandfather who was on crutches with a happy face.

The old man on crutches looked up at the statue of the river god, whom his grandson called "Big Nanny," above the shrine. He swallowed hard and said, "Grandson, I'm afraid we can't handle this."

"Oh? Why not, Grandpa?"

"Because the statue of the Big Breast Goddess weighs more than 200 pounds, it cannot be supported in any sense." The old man complained.

Not to mention whether a person who studies metaphysics can carry the gods on his back, just the statue weighing more than 200 kilograms is something that most people cannot lift, let alone bring to the tea competition venue.

Ansheng weighed fourteen pounds including skin, fur and fur.

Aqing can take off with one hand.

The other tourists didn't know this. They just saw that the runner-up asked for leave and was carried on someone's back to go out and play.

While burning incense, the tourists were muttering in their hearts that the Xiadong people were spending more and more money on worship.

Previously, Mazu applied for an ID card, flew around the world, and rode a Ferrari to show off her skills. Later, someone photographed Mazu sitting in a private cinema, holding a family-sized popcorn in her left hand and wearing 3D glasses to watch a foreign movie.

Now it seems very reasonable for a gentleman to take leave to have fun.

…………

"Red! The wish list is red again"

"Life is really getting better and better."

The little fox brought back by Aqing was sitting at his tea stall with a happy face, checking the wish list flashing in his mind.

It is very normal for villagers to pray and make wishes to the statues when they worship and burn incense.

Ansheng’s wish list, copy all the wishes to your own panel.

Ansheng just clicked on one and saw what was happening on the other side.

[What the hell! First I have to pay federal taxes, then I have to pay state taxes, and then there's this whole local tax thing. Not to mention why there's also a farmland tax, and I have to pay a fine for raising five chickens. That damn farm isn't mine at all! I just help water the plants, why do I have to pay back taxes for the past three years? — Imprisoned, Chen Nian's head was full of question marks, but he seemed to have realized something, and a fierce gleam gradually appeared in his eyes.]

[Wish fulfilled: v me five hundred thousand dollars. ]
