Cheng Haidong chatted at Lan He's house until the evening before Lan He got up and escorted him downstairs.
"Oh, yes, let me tell you, after I saw dirty things last time, I went to the temple and asked for a peace amulet. I don't know if it was a psychological effect. I slept much more peacefully at night." Cheng Haidong said, He also showed the talisman to him.
Lan He said, "Really? That's good."
Cheng Haidong thought in pieces: "Don't perfunctory me, why don't you believe it."
Lan He said: "I don't believe it either, but I think you don't think about it all day long, the more you think, the worse your spirit will be. And you can go to Juehui Temple, which is more famous. Since you're all buying it, it's better to buy an old brand. "
He had only heard that Juehui Temple was famous, but with previous experience, he knew that Juehui Temple was also famous in the underworld, so he could recommend it to Cheng Haidong.
Cheng Haidong thought for a while: "Yes, I'll go to Juehui Temple later."
When they got downstairs, Cheng Haidong told him not to send them off.
"Drive carefully." Lan He stood at the door of the building and ordered a few words. When he was about to go back, Ying Shao also came back.
Ying Shao also brought two brothers and sisters, either carrying or holding incense and candle offerings.
Lan He's eyes lingered on their roast chicken for a while, seeing Ying Shao also looking at him, smiled slightly: "Are they all liars?"
Ying Shao: "...Yes."
Brothers and sisters: "..."
what!
…
As soon as they entered the door, Ying Shao's apprentices and brothers complained, "What the world is this, and you still call yourself a liar."
Ying Shao said calmly: "Then what do you want me to say, tell the neighbors who don't believe in evil that we are Gu Masters? But he doesn't necessarily know about Gu Masters, so that means we are a kind of 'household type religious service provider'?"
Junior Brother: "..."
Home, home what
Damn, it's different when you go to college, you can't beat Senior Brother Ying Shao every time, and you don't even understand what he's talking about.
Ying Shao greeted them, and the three of them began to set up sacrifices, "Senior brother, the capital seems to be getting more and more chaotic recently. Master said, is the chance to stand out now is now?"
"I think so, but there are many talented people in the capital, and even the master may not be able to... Hey, let's talk about earning enough living expenses." Ying Shao checked it carefully, and then led the younger brothers to sing the "Burning Incense Song" together. I am also preparing to record a video, which is for the employer to see.
In order to make money, everyone's business scope has become more and more extensive these days. Before that, what kind of requiem is it to raise Gu ghosts? The job they took on was to appease the souls of the dead, to convey the words of future generations, and hope that employers would The ancestors lived well, and they also bless their descendants.
300 yuan a day of work, are used to doing.
Ying Shao opened his mouth and sang: "A stick of fragrance arrives in all directions, and the ghost of the city god has come to lead the way—"
The spell is a thing, no matter if it is ineffective or not, it sounds very powerful anyway, and the ghosts lead the way at every turn, and the gods do the work for themselves.
After Ying Shao sang a sentence, he felt that the golden silkworm Gu in his heart was a little restless, as if foreshadowing something, and then there was a great wind in the house.
"Um?"
The younger brother looked up, looking nervous, the windows were not open, where did the cool breeze come from.
The next moment, a white figure passed through the wall, with a tall hat on top of his head, with the words "come here" written on it, most of his face was covered by a mask, with chains around his wrists, and a fan on his waist. It is the impermanence of the underworld, and the opening is: "Which one is called a ghost?"
Three people: "..."
They're all stupid, how did they... really bring in the evildoers? !
It's just bragging, it's never been recruited before, how could the messenger be idle every day, and respond to their small and transparent activities in the industry.
And it only sang one sentence! What level is this, let alone the master, even the master of the master can't do it!
I saw the impermanence walking to their table and eating roast chicken. Because Ying Shao is a little poor, this roast chicken is actually only half of it. As he ate, he said, "What can I do to help? Send a message to the dead?"
"Yes, yes... Excuse me..." Ying Shao didn't think of what happened to him before, but felt incredible.
On the contrary, the junior brother whispered: "Didn't we invite the city god?"
These city gods are like the municipal governments in the realm of the world. Anything that happens is usually reported to the City God first-level organization, and then reported to the Yin Division at the upper level.
To describe it this way, it's like they only planned to call a police officer, but the serious crime team came!
Moreover, the hat on the head of the serious crime team said that they are here, but they have never seen a few times at all, so how dare they ask this, what if they anger others.
Lan He also heard it, and moved unnaturally, "Oh... I didn't hear it clearly."
Three people: "… "
At this time, the golden silkworm Gu moved and transmitted a message. Ying Shaoyi sensed it, and then suddenly reacted: "Did you... save me before?"
Lan He vaguely said: "Maybe, I don't remember."
He said, his eyes fixed on the takeaway fried skewers they brought back.
Ying Shao: "..."
What an undisguised look.
In the face of the life-saving benefactor and the messenger, Ying Shao, who was eating the underworld rice, of course quickly brought up the fried skewers: "This... do you want to try it? There is also incense... "
Lan He directly ignored the incense, not to mention that he missed the long-lost fried skewers at this moment. As a living soul, he was not very interested in eating incense.
Ghosts and gods eat something different from people. In "Zibuyu", it is said, "All food and drink should be smelled but not swallowed. If hot food is smelled, it will immediately become cold."
When ghosts and spirits eat, it is actually "Qi", essence, hot air, that does not need to be eaten. After the essence is consumed, the food naturally loses its taste, and the food remains as it was, and the taste is as pale as water. Hot and cold.
I saw that the impermanence adults had enough to eat and drink, wrote a letter for them and took them to the underworld, and was about to leave.
"Wait, I don't know the name of your lord?" Ying Shao asked nervously.
Lan He didn't even have a stage name in the entertainment industry, let alone the underworld. He thought of the words Yan San called him, so he vaguely said, "Call me brother."
After the impermanence left, everyone looked at me and I looked at you for a long time, and then I really felt that they had just brought in the evil!
Ying Shao tuned up the video and saw that although it was not spent, they were talking to the air after they sang a sentence. Ying Shao's excitement suddenly dropped a little: "Do you think the boss will approve of this?"
Junior Brother: "..."
Of course... not!
Although they really invited the evil, but since they can't make it, they may have to re-record it to explain to the boss.
Ying Shao looked at the skewers. He only heard that the food eaten by ghosts and gods would lose its taste, but he had never encountered the real thing, so he couldn't help but pick up a skewer and taste it...
"How is it?" The younger brothers also stared at him and asked. Speaking of which, this was supposed to be their supper.
Ying Shao tasted it: "Well... it really doesn't have any taste at all, it's a bit like gluten, eh... gluten, then sprinkle some cumin powder and salt, let's bake the gluten and eat it. Don't waste it."
Junior Brother: "..."
…
After Ying Shao finished eating, he went out to throw out the garbage. Just as his neighbor came out with a bag of garbage, the two nodded to each other and smiled.
Although Lan He was enjoying it with his soul, he still felt an aftertaste in his mouth, so he touched his mouth with satisfaction.
"Have you eaten supper?" Ying Shao asked with a smile.
"Yeah." Lan He looked at his trash bag, "You too."
Ying Shao hiccupped: "I ate some roasted gluten."
Lan He: "...Oh."
What, where did the baked gluten come from, why didn't he eat it just now.
Lan He folded all the paper kraft paper horses for Lao Bai, and he happened to come and get it himself when he was free.
"Give me some more money! It's almost April 18th, order all the cattle and horses, and I'll go to Miaogan Mountain!" Lao Bai urged.
"What are you doing up there, attending a temple fair?" Lan He was puzzled.
Lao Bai looked at him in shock, "Fuck you!"
The two goddesses with the most incense in the folk are Mazu in the south and Bixia Yuanjun in the north, one is the sea god and the other is the mountain god. Lan He is a southerner, so he doesn't know much about the relationship.
Who is Bixia Yuanjun? Her dojo is in Mount Tai, and her full name is Bixia Yuanjun, the Jade Girl of the Heavenly Immortals of Mount Tai in Dongyue, also known as Empress of Mount Tai.
That is to say, she is the daughter of Lao Bai's top boss, and others can ignore her. On her birthday, the scoundrels will of course give a gift - like Yan San, he certainly doesn't have to give it. You don't have to rush to Mount Tai, it's too big and too troublesome to fight, there are temples in your area or around, so you can make offerings.
There are thousands of Taishan palaces dedicated to Bixia Yuanjun all over the place. In the capital alone, there is a saying of "three mountains and five tops". They are all her temples. "The saying of Bixia Temple.
On top of the five tops, there is a sixth top, the Golden Top Miaogan Mountain, which was conferred by the emperor.
The paper cows and paper horses that Lao Bai asked Lan He to fold are used as a camel gift to go up the mountain, and secondly, it is also a gift in itself.
"I'll help you deliver it together." Lan He took the initiative. In his mind, this Miaogan Mountain was a folk tourist destination before, and Su Zhai was so famous.
"Oh, it's not that you don't want to go out to work, why are you willing now?" Lao Bai said this in a strange way, but he still said immediately, "Let's go, now the manpower is tight enough."
…
Wonderful Mountain.
This place is more than 1,000 meters above sea level. In ancient times, when the road was not repaired, it was very hard to climb the mountain. It took a long time to get from the capital to the foot of the mountain, and the rugged mountain road took a whole day to climb.
Now that Yangjian has repaired the roads, it is also cheaper to the underworld. After all, many bridges and roads in the underworld are attached to the Yangjian.
Lao Bai was carrying a red light, and in front of him was driving a large group of paper kraft horses full of camels. Lan He also followed behind him with a lantern. If there are people who are a little less angry, they can probably see two red lights floating in the night.
According to folklore, Yin soldiers pass by, which is exactly the case.
Lan He has been in the capital for several years and has never been to Miaogan Mountain. I heard that there will be temple fairs here. This time, it was a "business trip".
The road was dark at night, and there were no insects and birds.
In such darkness and silence, a child's cry suddenly sounded: "Wow-wow-"
The frequency of the child's cry was high. In the middle of the night, there was no one in the wilderness, and the child's cry suddenly came, which made the scalp numb.
"...Why, how come there are children?"
"Go and have a look." Lao Bai said lazily.
To be honest, this movement is quite scary, Lan He hesitated, although he can often see ghosts, his ability to accept is already higher than ordinary people.
"Can you not go? I feel like I'll be startled in the past. Ghost movies have always acted like this." Lan He has been training for so many years. If it's unnecessary, ignore it and don't make trouble.
Old Bai: "Scared? You are impermanent, are you worthy?"
Lan He: "...I don't deserve it."
Unconsciously, she had lost her right to be afraid, so Lan He had to carry the lantern to the place where the sound came from, took a few steps into the grass, and raised the lantern to take a picture.
I saw a bare-ass doll wearing a red apron, sitting on the ground crying, with a slap on the head. There is a steep slope next to it, and it is estimated that it has fallen.
It was scary to hear the cry, but the doll itself was not scary. Lan He relaxed, "Where is the child?"
Lao Bai saw it and said, "Oh, yes, I'm afraid they came out of the temple. In addition to checking the good and evil in the world, Mother Taishan is also in charge of childbirth. There are many children in the temple."
He knew that most of Lan He didn't know, and he explained it. The concubine is kind-hearted, and some child souls will be taken by her side and given to believers to be raised.
"Little boy, are you okay?" Lan He stepped forward, wanting to pick up the little doll.
Lao Bai said: "Be careful, these dolls are very timid, last time I stuck out my tongue and cried like something..."
When the words fell, Lan He had already picked up the child, quite skilled. His parents were both elementary school teachers, and his aunt was a kindergarten teacher, so he could barely be considered a homeschooler, and he was good at dealing with children.
The bare-ass doll didn't seem frightened at all in Lan He's arms, and even drilled into his arms, stretched out his small hand, and took off Lan He's mask.
Lan He took the mask, and because he was a child, he didn't care.
When the child saw Lan He's face, he liked him even more.
"I'll blow my head, it won't hurt anymore." Lan He took advantage of the situation to blow the wound on him. Originally, he wanted to go for an injection, but after thinking about it, everyone is a soul... Forget it.
"Slightly." Old Bai stuck out his tongue again.
Lan He: "..."
Do you know why your child doesn't like you? Your tongue is almost touching your chest.
Lan He put on the mask, carried the fat baby and continued up the mountain, and even made grasshoppers out of straw for him, and the child made him coax him obediently.
Arriving in front of the Puji Temple on the top of the mountain, I saw a woman in a short jacket and skirt counting the bare-ass children around her, and she said anxiously, "Where's the other one? Where's the other one?"
"Taishan Yinsi is polite—" Lao Bai shouted, and then called to the woman, "Miss Hu, see if it's the little brat in your temple who ran halfway up the mountain and was picked up by us."
Of course, with so many children, it is impossible for the goddess to bring gifts everywhere, and it is also impossible for the goddess to come to this altar to collect them. Such a big temple naturally has some errands.
As soon as the woman raised her head, Liu Ye's eyebrows were hanging and her eyes were hanging. , I thought I lost one."
She walked up to her waist and went to Lan He, "Thank you, brother Yin Cha." Glancing at the child's face again, she sighed, "It hurts my face, I'm afraid it will leave a mark."
She reached out to take the child.
The fat doll likes Lan He very much, grabbing the front of his shirt and refusing to let it go.
Lan He saw that the big girl Hu stretched out her hand, and her fingernails were actually long and pointed, and she immediately flashed, "Beauty, your fingernails are too long, it's not suitable for holding children!"
Miss Hu was stunned.
Old Bai said anxiously, "Just give it to her, she has her own measure."
Lan He hesitantly handed the child out, "I think you'd better cut your nails, it's inconvenient to scratch that way."
Miss Hu didn't know why, but she giggled.
To say that Miss Hu's appearance is really very good, she is pretty, but every time she smiles, her beauty is so thick that it is weird.
She smiled. Lan He, who had not seen this much before, had her hair standing on end. She couldn't help but take a step back and was supported by Lao Bai and pushed her back.
Lan He received his hint: Do you still remember that you are worthy
… I don’t deserve it, I don’t deserve to be afraid.
I came to socialize on behalf of Yin Si, Lan He said silently, he laughed dryly: "Well, fairies don't scratch their itch, right?"
Miss Hu laughed even more happily, the flowers trembled, but the fat baby didn't seem to be hurt by her fingernails, she hugged the fat baby and walked while walking: "I'm so stunned, I'm afraid it's impermanent... It's hard work. , let me find something to eat."
After Miss Hu left, Lao Bai said miserably: "In the future, you can't just ask someone to cut your nails, these nails are the same as distraction, the Hu family is very temperamental on weekdays, and you helped her today. Oh, I didn't blame you. As usual, when I come, there is no food to eat, don't think she is so kind. "
"I know that nails are very important, but can't you say it?" Lan He has also heard various legends and stories that people can use other people's hair and nails to cast spells.
Old Bai: "Ma Gu, do you know? When she came to the world, a man named Cai Jing saw it, and thought to himself, wow, this woman's hands are really beautiful, it would be great if she could scratch my back. After thinking about it, I immediately rushed to the street, my eyes bleed."
This is Ma Gu's punishment, that person didn't say it, just thought about it in his heart.
Lan He didn't expect it to be so serious, "Okay, I'm unintentional... I'll tell her I'm sorry later."
Madam Hu prepared the meal, led Lao Bai and Lan He to enjoy it, and walked through the Puji Temple, Lan He saw that there was actually the Guanyin Hall, "Well, don't blame me for saying that, why is there a bodhisattva here? What about the image?"
"Puji Temple is mainly for the goddess, but there are also gods of Buddhism and Confucianism, as well as folk gods, people have needs." Hu Da girl smiled sweetly, "This Guanyin Temple is dedicated to the Guanyin of crossing the sea, which used to be The person who sent Guanyin to his son was not advocating family planning for a while, but was replaced by the scenic spot management office."
Lan He: "..."
... Okay, I can't replace Empress Bixia.
Moreover, childbirth is only one of Bixia Yuanjun's supervisors, unlike Guanyin who sends sons, who specialize in sending sons.
When I got there, I saw six dishes and a pot of wine on the stone table.
Miss Hu said: "The vegetarian meal is gone. This is provided by Fanzi. You can use it."
Lan He saw that saliva was secreting frantically.
Mrs. Hu seems to be a gourmet too, "This mandarin fish is first hit with a peony knife, marinated and then wrapped in egg liquid and cooked. It must be crispy and tender, refreshing and fragrant. Steamed oven duck, look, the cabbage has been blanched. , sucked the oil from the duck, um... "
"Okay, okay, let's eat." Lao Bai was too lazy to listen to her so much.
Before Lao Bai said a word, Lan He quickly started smoking.
For an actor who hasn't eaten enough for so long, is it enough to eat a full meal? Obviously not enough!
What is fragrant but not greasy? What is crispy and delicious? Even the cabbage is full of fragrant soup. Although Lan He is smoking, it does not feel that the taste is affected at all. This is a very wonderful taste. The tender rib entrance made him look beautiful.
This is indeed the case. Both Lao Bai and Hu Da girl saw it. He was an inch taller while eating, but his soul was floating an inch... He was still lying down, holding the mask in his hands, and devoured it.
Lao Bai was stunned, he said how Lan He was actively working in the field this time!
Miss Hu was also dumbfounded and said, "Don't a starving ghost need to pass the test before he is qualified to be a ghost?"
Lao Bai: "… "
Lan He leaned on the table for a while, then sat up slowly, her teeth and cheeks fragrant.
Miss Hu said in shock, "Eat so much."
Lao Bai was also amazed, but it was hard to say: The one who is more hungry than a starving ghost is an actor.
Lan He showed a shy smile, and returned to the handsome and beautiful young man, showing embarrassment in the brown eyes exposed outside, "I'm sorry, I forgot my love for a while."
Mrs. Hu was looked at by him, "It's all right, just eat it."
Lao Bai said: "Our child is still young, so it's enough to eat. To say the best offerings, I think Juehui Temple is still the best. Although it is vegetarian, but the taste - eat it once for three years."
Lan He was moved when he heard it, but the monks in Juehui Temple should not be as fooled as Ying Shao, "Old Bai... Can you take me to eat with you next time?"
Old Bai stared at him: "What do you think of impermanence, a tool for eating and drinking."
Lan He: "I think impermanence is a noble profession. It supports the justice of the yin and yang worlds, especially if you have a senior like you in Taishan's Yin Si, who has brought up the order of the underworld."
Lao Bai was ecstatic when he heard it, and knew that Lan He was touting: "Don't put on a tall hat for me..."
Lan He: "..."
Lao Bai: "… "
Lao Bai held up his hat expressionlessly, "Be sincere."
Lan He said to them, "Miss Hu, Lao Bai, let me treat you to something to eat."
Because it was a gift, Lan He also took all the incense he made. He didn't count the incense when he took it.
But Miss Hu smiled and got a little excited, and the corners of her small mouth grinned again, almost reaching the base of her ears, so she quickly covered it with a handkerchief: "Don't blame me for being straight, you haven't eaten for three years yourself. , what delicious food can you share with us?"
Lao Bai swallowed conditionedly: "You can't say that..."
