According to Big Eye's request, we folded the white paper into a palm-sized paper triangle. I asked him what he did with the paper triangle, mysteriously speaking, the answer would naturally be revealed at night.
Throughout the afternoon, Dayan and I folded more than three hundred paper triangles in the room, and then soaked the paper triangles with red paint water and placed them on the windowsill to dry.
After dinner, Uncle Huang came to the fat aunt's house and said that everything was ready in West Ancestral Hall, so I and the two protagonists Big Eye were left on stage.
Big Eye asked Huang Hai to go first, saying that we would arrive later.
Putting away the dried red paper triangle, Big Eye spent half an hour at the fat aunt’s house before going out. He also said that this is the posture that a big man should have when he appears on the stage. The waiting process is a process that people look forward to. The more I look forward to it, the more mysterious it becomes.
Although I sneered at the big eyes pretending to be profound, it is hard to say anything, after all, he is the protagonist today.
Carrying three cinerary altars to the west ancestral hall, there are a total of six or seven hundred people in the open space in front of the west ancestral hall. Electric lights were temporarily installed around the open space. A "Golden Frog" brand agricultural tricycle was placed at the entrance of the ancestral hall. The carriage was covered with wooden boards, which was a speech table for Big Eyes.
Under the gaze of hundreds of pairs of eyes, Big Eye boarded the tricycle, and then waved to people like a national police, and the buzzing crowd immediately calmed down.
Looking around the crowd with big eyes, he nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Guys, everyone should know what happened today. However, I want to tell you again. Before I talk about it, I have to be myself. Introduction. My surname is Yang, the seventh-generation heir of the Taoist people of Liujia. He has always followed the Tao and followed the Tao. It is his responsibility to kill demons and restrain evil spirits, to exorcise evil spirits, and to act on behalf of the heaven..."
The big-eyed bragging makes me feel that he doesn't seem to be here to do business, but to promote himself.
"... Actually the patriarch died 35 years ago. He was killed by a ghost. Who is this ghost? He is the powerful man in the Huang family's ancestors, Huang Jizu."
People immediately began to whisper to each other, and there seemed to be thousands of flies buzzing in the scene.
Big eyes raised their hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued: "I know it is difficult for everyone to understand, but it is true. As for the specific reasons, I will not say much because of time. If you want to know, you can go to the clan Old man Huang Hai."
Standing next to the tricycle, Huang Hai immediately waved to everyone, quite a bit of the intention of the soon-to-be-appointed leader.
"Call everyone here today
Here, there is mainly one thing. The ashes of the three generations of Huang Jizu’s family were put in the West Ancestral Hall. Why they were put in the West Ancestral Hall? People in the clan should all know that the West Ancestral Hall is not simple. So many people died in it, but it did not harm the village. The people here are because there are soul-staying formations inside..."
When Huang Hai saw that Big Eye never mentioned about being a patriarch, he began to wink at Big Eye, but Big Eye turned a blind eye. He continued to express his long talk, and stopped talking for more than ten minutes.
After breathing for a breath, Big Eyes said again: "Actually, Huang Hai invited us to come to Huangjiazhuang this time. He discovered that the patriarch was haunted by ghosts. He risked his life in order to invite us. Huang Hai …"
Big Eyes praised Huang Hai fiercely. I have never heard of the words of praise used. In short, in short, Huang Hai is a man who sacrifices himself for the public, if he is not allowed to be the patriarch, then absolutely It is the loss of the Huangjiazhuang people.
I can't see the expressions of the people below, but I can see Huang Hai's expressions clearly. It's just a smile.
When Dayan finished the speech, he asked Huang Hai to open the gate of the West Ancestral Hall, and then Dayan and I entered the ancestral hall holding the ashes jar.
It may be that there were many people on the scene, and I didn't have the gloomy feeling of the last time. I put the three ashes altars and Zhao Hongyu's tablets on the table together, and burned a few more paper charms with Big Eyes before we quit together.
Locked the gate of the ancestral hall, Big Eyes returned to the tricycle, thinking that he would give another impassioned speech, but he did not expect that he would say something that shocked the whole clan.
He cleared his throat with his big eyes, and said, "Guys, I entered the ancestral hall just now and found a very bad thing. If the ghosts of the three generations of Huang Jizu's family are put in, the original spirit calming technique is not enough to trap them. live."
The people at the scene immediately turned into a pan of porridge, and the most anxious one was Huang Hai. He said: "Master with big eyes, on behalf of the whole people, I beg you to help us through the difficulties."
I held my chin with my big eyes and muttered for a long time before saying, "I will definitely help if I'm busy, otherwise I don't need to come. This time I came out and brought some evil spirits with me, which can be divided into one for each household. Just press the evil spirits. At the gate, you can keep your family safe."
It suddenly dawned on me that the paper triangles folded in the afternoon were used to ward off evil spirits. It seems that I would have to ask Dayan for two in a while, one on the truck and one on the doorstep. So as to ensure safe entry and exit.
Huang Hai immediately said excitedly: "That's great. Master with big eyes
, You are really a living Bodhisattva, but we can't ask you for nothing, so let's pay for it. An exorcism charm is one hundred yuan, do you think it works? "
Big eyes showed a dilemma and said, "Is this not so good?"
Huang Hai said: "Nothing is good, you have helped us so much, so why are we embarrassed to want your things for nothing."
Unable to withstand Huang Hai's repeated insistence, Big Eyes had no choice but to respond, but it didn't follow the price Huang Hai said, but fifty yuan per exorcism talisman.
Huang Hai asked the people of the clan to go home to get the money, and then they went to the fat aunt's house to get the exorcism talisman, and those with the money went straight to the fat aunt's house for fear that they could not get it.
In an instant, the people in front of the ancestral hall ran away cleanly.
Back at the fat aunt's house, there was already a long queue of hundreds of people at the door, and Huang Hai took a few people to maintain order. Someone asked Big Eye if he could buy more and go home to ward off evil spirits.
Big eyes shook his head and said that the number is limited, and one in each household is not enough. The people at the back of the line were immediately anxious. They wanted to jump ahead for fear that they couldn't buy them at home, and then they were stopped back by the people who maintained order.
I was responsible for collecting the money, and Big Eye was responsible for drawing the talisman on the red paper triangle. Three hundred and sixty paper talisman were sold out in less than an hour.
Even so, there are still more than 300 households who have not been able to buy them. They clamored and refused to leave, so Big Eye had to tell the people outside that they would make some more so that they would come back tomorrow afternoon.
It wasn't until midnight that everyone was sent away.
Big eyes closed the curtains, closed the door, and started counting the money with open eyes, counting the money three times, totaling 18,000.
This money is really easy to make, and it can be said that there is basically no investment, which is more money than I make by driving a truck. Just when I lamented that big eyes are easy to make money, Huang Hai came.
Huang Hai smiled and rubbed his hands and said, "Master with big eyes, how am I doing today?"
Big Eye said: "Yes."
"Look at my share..."
I was stunned for a while. The two of them sang and played together in the West Ancestral Hall for a long time. It turned out that they had colluded a long time ago and made money from the tribe.
"Why are you in a hurry? Will there be more tomorrow. But I want to remind you to find a monk as soon as possible to overtake the injustice in the ancestral hall."
"Don't worry, I'll definitely do this little thing." Huang Hai patted his chest to make sure, and then asked: "Does the evil-shielding talisman really work?"
"Of course it works, if I don't even have this ability, how can I surrender to the ghost patriarch."
"Then you give me one too."
Big eyes smiled and said: "Tomorrow, tomorrow I will leave it for you."
