The timing of Ji Zai's appearance couldn't be more coincidental. Xiao Nanzhu, who held the calendar, was waiting for such a clansman who could help him. It would be great to take this opportunity to recognize each other.
Originally, he was eager to understand what the content of the calendar was, because it was not only related to the safety of the New Year's Eve that he was thinking about, but also related to the interests of many other calendar gods in the old yellow calendar. For this, I know Xiao Nanzhu. Ji Zai, who had already retrieved the three sacred objects in the clan, was naturally responsive, and in the future, he was almost always on call, and at Xiao Nanzhu's request, he even took the people who were never in the clan back. The rumored texts were sorted out bit by bit for Xiao Nanzhu to read and check.
Two or three weeks later, it will be Grain Rain. During this time, Ji Zaihe’s content on the establishment, elimination, fullness, peace, stability, persistence, destruction, danger, success, closing, opening, and closing of the twelve gods. Xiao Nanzhu and the two sorted them out one by one. Although most of them are obscure ballads and witchcraft words, Xiao Nanzhu knows what every word means. Unfortunately, Ji Zai's own education level is limited, although He knows all the characters in his own family, but he doesn't know anything about medicine, weaving, mathematics or the calendar. So apart from helping Xiao Nanzhu translate these characters, he can't do anything. On the contrary, Xiao Nanzhu can easily call out the great The ability of the Almanac Divine Sovereign shocked him so much that he almost hugged his thigh and called his brother.
Xiao Nanzhu was actually quite puzzling about this, because everyone was descended from the ancient Han nationality, and it was unreasonable that Ji Zai, who was tall and big, didn't understand anything. As a result, the boy immediately lowered his head in embarrassment and made a sound. She scratched her head in shame and explained.
The calendar was lost in the Qing Dynasty. Although the ancient Han people who lived in seclusion in the mountains have no name, they have lost the things to maintain their own cultural heritage. Hundreds of years ago, the great witches in the clan were indeed able to attract the gods, but that was all that happened many generations ago. Now, even some well-informed great witches can't, let alone them Ordinary clansmen, now these things have returned to Xiao Nanzhu by accident. This is a bit of destiny, but for this, Xiao Nanzhu took the initiative to tell Ji Zai that he wanted to change the calendar. According to the original volume, the black dragon skeleton and Tai Sui are both returned to the idea of the Chinese people.
He himself doesn't pay much attention to these things, and the situation of the Huaxia people described by Ji Zai is too miserable. The economic development of the local area is estimated to be not much different from that of many impoverished counties trapped in the deep mountains. Although he didn't grow up there, after all, his parents and clans used to live there, and it made sense to do something for that place.
Although his parents were long gone, and the funny and unfamiliar real name didn't touch him too much, but his hometown was his hometown, and he had to go back and have a look when he had a chance. Ji Zai lost his job in Y City, and he did have to go back to his hometown after a while, but Xiao Nanzhu thought so, but wanted to mention this incident to New Year's Eve.
But I don't know what's going on. He couldn't find anyone on New Year's Eve these days. Although he had mentioned it to him before New Year's Eve, he had to deal with the evil things about the Moon Pass with several traditional calendar gods. , may not come out too often, but not seeing anyone for several days still makes Xiao Nanzhu feel a little uncomfortable.
After the banquet last time, New Year's Eve was obviously in a much better mood. Other calendars and gods came to visit from time to time on the originally deserted calendar paper. The Nian Beast was relieved because of the warm feeding of the gods such as Lantern Festival, moon cakes, rice dumplings, and dumplings. The body has gained a lot of weight, and it looks more and more without the majesty that a beast should have.
It just so happened that the Moon Pass was approaching, and the evil spirits were rampant. On New Year's Eve, it was impossible to accompany Xiao Nanzhu as often as before. Regarding this matter, Xiao Nanzhu's opinion must be quite big, but he This person has no principles, and when he sees New Year's Eve frowning and looks very embarrassed, he can't say anything, even if his big beauty wants his life, he doesn't care.
He was so considerate of his own calendar teacher, and on New Year's Eve, he knew in his heart that he was originally a rigid character who didn't understand love, but now he has opened his mind a bit. In the past few days, the Lunar Pass was approaching, and the evil spirits suddenly increased, and he had no choice but to take up some private time to discuss privately with several traditional calendar gods. Qingming felt that all this was reasonable, and it was not unusual. Yueguan had a lot of evil spirits and shouldn't have been so concerned, but Hanshi and New Year's Eve were a little worried. After all, they were older than Qingming. I would never take this incident as an inconspicuous little thing so casually. On New Year's Eve, I led the Nian beast out a few times in private, but found that those evil spirits seemed to be gushing out from some strange source, and waiting for After examining it carefully, he found that the problem still lay in the original Binjiang Road Bridge project.
The mother snake is dead, and the sons and grandsons of snakes have already been turned to ashes. Xiao Nanzhu and his finishing work did a good job at the beginning. It makes no sense that there are any remnants left at the bottom of the river. Evil spirits kept pouring out. He tried to investigate several times but found nothing unusual. It was during the few days when Xiao Nanzhu and Ji Zai were busy dealing with the calendar and scriptures. On New Year's Eve, Han Shi and Han Shi went to the original one. Under the Binjiang Bridge, who would have thought that in the darkness of the night, thousands of evil spirits would climb out from the bottom of the river like hellish ghosts. Less tossing, most of the body that had recovered a lot on New Year's Eve was directly contaminated, and he almost turned against Han Shi on the spot.
"New Year's Eve!! New Year's Eve!!! You see who I am!! New Year's Eve!!"
Although Han Shi, who is dressed in dragon energy, is dragging his unsturdy body, his stern look is also very intimidating. Unfortunately, on New Year's Eve, his supernatural power is far superior to him. The red eyes looked terrifying. Han Shi bit the bullet and fought with him for a long time. In the end, he had to summon Qingming to lose his mind and almost killed his New Year's Eve uniform. Qingming was obviously very afraid of the New Year's Eve, which had not been abnormal for a long time and was now polluted by evil. Han Shi's face was pale, but he still brought back the bloody New Year's Eve. When he returned home, Xiao Nanzhu was still outside and had not returned, and the New Year's Eve, who had regained his senses for a short time because of the familiar blessings in the room, stared blankly. Looking at the blood on his hands covered with blood, he opened his mouth to Hanshi and Qingming in a low, hoarse voice as if begging.
"Today's affairs must be concealed from Master Li. This time the evil spirit of the body is different from usual. Although I am sober for a short time now, I can't completely remove it..."
When he said this, New Year's Eve turned his face in embarrassment. What happened tonight was completely beyond his expectations. Even he himself couldn't believe that with his divine power, he could be occupied so easily and become those evil spirits. puppet. Right now, his body was covered in blood and blood, and his red clothes spread out on the ground, which was especially shocking. Hanshi and Qingming, who had a good relationship with him on weekdays, seemed a little afraid to approach him, but as long as he relaxed a little bit. It will immediately turn into a debauched, murderous and bloodthirsty monster, and thinking of this, a bleak smile evoked on New Year's Eve's bleak face.
"The abnormality at the bottom of the bridge will be checked after I recover. Just please don't tell Master Li about it. What he hates the most... is what I look like now, please."
The situation on New Year's Eve was well covered by Han Shi and Qingming. Xiao Nanzhu didn't bother him as long as he was still busy with his own affairs. He didn't know what was happening on New Year's Eve, but something was amiss in his heart. It just so happened that Gu Yu had something to do that day and let him put it down for the time being. Seeing the clear sky outside the window, there was an ominous trend in the sky, a thin man wearing only a houndstooth shirt was lazy by the window. Yang Yang ordered a cigarette.
"Hey, it doesn't rain in the Grain Rain, it's a bad omen, I'm really tired to welcome the birth of this little saint..."
There was a woman's annoyed voice behind him, and Xiao Nanzhu turned his head slightly and saw the beauty who came out of the calendar wearing a pollen dress, with a paper umbrella painted on Jiangnan in the palm of his hand standing beside him. The umbrella is naturally filled with rain that can usher in the harvest, but the goddess of the calendar just put it away at this time, so it was clear outside, and seeing Gu Yu's unhappy appearance, she specially let her today Don't rain, Xiao Nanzhu, who just wanted to make the little sage come into the world quickly, also grinned, walked a few steps in front of her and squinted her eyes and said,
"When the sage is born from the belly of the sage's mother, you can order it how you want. We can't let the customer suffer when we collect money to do things, right?"
"Of course, Master Li, what are you talking about, how can I have any opinion..."
Looking very dissatisfied, he turned his head. Gu Yu's temper was much more tricky than Lantern Festival and the Spring Equinox. Naturally, Xiao Nanzhu would not be coaxed into compromise by Xiao Nanzhu's words. Holding it in her hands, seeing the young lady looking like she didn't buy her own account, when she came to work in the morning, Xiao Nanzhu, who saw that she wanted something from her, pretended to have a deep cough, and then she took a few breaths. He said sarcastically,
"Then how do I make amends to you, the Lord of God?"
"Well... I want Li Shi to compensate me for an allusion!"
As soon as she heard Xiao Nanzhu's words, she quickly opened her mouth. Gu Yu rolled her eyes, and her almond eyes were full of love and romance. She was very smart and pleasant. It seemed that she had been thinking about getting what she wanted from Xiao Nanzhu. , so when he saw Xiao Nanzhu taking the initiative to talk to him, Gu Yu quickly opened his mouth, and after hearing her words, Xiao Nanzhu, who was not surprised, nodded directly, and said clearly,
"I said why do you keep picking on me? It's for this. A few days ago, Jingzhe, Laba and the others also came to ask for their own allusions to taboo. I also searched for them one by one, so the girl's family can't talk properly..."
Deliberately lengthening the tone, Xiao Nanzhu calmly looked at Gu Yu's awkward expression and smiled. Gu Yu was a little sullen, but his cheeks couldn't help blushing. He laughed and walked to the side of the bookshelf with a gesture.
The old pear flower and wood shelves are full of translation notes that he copied down from the calendar during this period of time. Among them are a large number of ancient Wu people's songs and legends, many of which have been lost in modern times. Xiao Nanzhu took the help of Ji Zai to sort out these things one by one, but he didn't have time to check them carefully. Because most of the traditional stories and records are more or less related to the origins of the Lishens, many Lishens who have been passed down to this day but have long forgotten their origins could not help but curiously came to Xiao Nanzhu to inquire. , In particular, some solar terms that lack legends and allusions are extremely diligent, and Xiao Nanzhu is only a hundred thousand.
"How did they come from before? What are some legends and allusions that I don't know about? Which prophet and sage gave me this name, have you found it?"
Gu Yu bit his lip and looked extremely anxious. Xiao Nanzhu turned the pages back and forth according to the Gregorian calendar date, and finally found the page that belonged to Gu Yu. Xiao Nanzhu lowered his head and glanced casually. Seeing that Gu Yu was staring straight at him, it was a little funny, so he flipped the hand-copied calendar back and forth several times and said,
"Well, Grain Rain, which existed in the Spring and Autumn Period, the name given to you by thousands of ancestors in ancient times, to bless you with a good harvest and a good solar term. There is an allusion about Gu Yu avoiding scorpions. It is said that in ancient times there was an unfilial son named Ji Sheng, who was the champion of high school. Later, he didn't want to recognize his biological mother, Hu, and deliberately killed her, her mother turned into a poisonous scorpion, and stabbed the new champion of the new division to death, because it was Gu Yu that day, so there is also an allusion about Gu Yu avoiding scorpions..."
"Why is such a sad and angry story! My name is Gu Yu and I have never heard of it! Master Li, are you lying to me!"
Hearing Xiao Nanzhu say this, his eyebrows immediately stood up. These folk allusions were the earliest versions. It was only natural that Gu Yu could not remember after such a long time. Unfortunately, this female calendar goddess had a big temper. He just wanted to come and see for himself, how could Xiao Nanzhu let her turn around, so he hurriedly stopped her, but whoever wanted to touch it like this, he knocked something on the bookshelf to the ground, and accompanied the The delicate scroll that he placed in the innermost fell to the ground, Xiao Nanzhu's eyes first fell on the gorgeous god in red, and then inevitably he saw the ancient inscription he had seen before, but Because of the angle, this time he seemed to see something different, and almost instantly, Xiao Nanzhu's expression changed slightly.
"Except for... Night Demon Map?"
