The New Year's Eve is coming as scheduled. Even in Mohe on Wangyue Mountain, you can feel that the New Year's Eve in Zi'an County this year seems to be more lively than previous years, and the flavor of the New Year has become stronger.
In the past year, there have been many changes in Zi'an County. The income of most people in Zi'an County has increased compared with the past. Some things in An County are sold, even farmers in the countryside can go to Yuhe Wharf to do coolies to make money, and life will always be better than before.
People have money in their hands, and of course they want to celebrate it on the biggest day of the year, so even if they don't go down the mountain, the festive atmosphere can be felt.
After finishing the morning class early in the morning, Mo He continued to finish today's lecture to Wuyou, and then said to Wuyou: "Today is the end of the new year, and the mountain is very lively. Teacher, I will take you down the mountain to have a look!"
Wuyou didn't react too much when he heard what Mo He said, but just nodded very obediently.
He remembered that at the New Year's Eve of previous years, when he was in Yuhe Mansion, he could hear the people all over the street seemed very happy, and the outside was full of gongs and drums, which was very lively, but he never went out because his master forbade him.
After a few years, Wuyou gradually got used to it, no matter how lively it was outside, he would stay in the yard and not go out, so on this day of the year, in Wuyou's impression, there were not many memories worth recalling .
Mo He walked down the mountain with no worries, and when he came to the ancestral hall of Taoist Qingmei at the foot of the mountain, he entered the ancestral hall and burned three sticks of incense.
"Master, it's the end of another year. Your old man should be doing well in Netherland. My disciples and your disciples and grandchildren can only offer you a stick of incense!" Looking at the statue of Daoist Qingmei, Mo He said softly, going up The last time in Cangzhou, from the mouths of those gods, Mo He learned some news about Taoist Qingmei, knowing that his master was doing well in Netherland, Mo He no longer worried about Taoist Qingmei.
After offering incense to Daoist Qingmei, Mo He took Wuyou directly to the county town of Zi'an County. It was daytime, and the county town was probably the busiest place in Zi'an County, so he happened to take Wuyou around.
When he came to the county seat of Zi'an County, Mo He saw the noisy crowd at a glance, and a group of people dressed as generals or monsters were parading on the street, and a car was made in the shape of a dragon. A burly man stood at the dragon's head, holding a big knife in his hand and constantly brandishing it.
This is similar to those parades and celebrations in Mo He's previous life, except that people in this world don't worship demons and ghosts, nor do they worship dragons. What they worship more is those soldiers of the human race guarding the border, students from hundreds of schools, and those who kill demons and eliminate demons. Monk, so these parade items are all kinds of scenes of slaying demons and demons.
Wuyou followed Mo He, looking at the bustling crowd, he also looked at the parade with curiosity, and then looked at the happy and noisy crowd, Wuyou felt a little strange, "What's there to cheer about? "
It's strange in his heart, this kind of lively atmosphere has indeed affected Wuyou, making him feel the excitement of the New Year's Eve for the first time.
On both sides of the street, many shops have closed, but there are still a few shops that are still open, and it is estimated that they will close before the afternoon.
Taking Wuyou into these unclosed shops, he bought some random things. When he arrived at the county government office, Wuyou had already grabbed a lot of things, and he still carried some on his back, most of which were Snacks, besides Wuyou's own, will be brought to Mo Qing and Mo Liu later.
Wuyou followed behind Mo He, eating what was in his hands while walking, although there was no smile on his face, but the happiness in his heart was naturally needless to mention.
When Mo He came to the county government office, he found that there were a lot of people here today. Some big households in Zi'an County came to visit one after another. Today the county government office is probably the busiest time of the year.
Seeing Mo He coming to the county government, many people smiled and greeted Mo He.
"Master Mo, Sui An!"
"Sui An, everyone!" Mo He replied with a nod and a smile. Someone had sharper eyes and saw Wuyou behind Mo He.
"Mo Daoist, this little Daoist, isn't it Daoist Mo's new disciple?" These big local households are relatively well-informed. They have long heard that when Mo Daochang came back from his travels, he followed behind him. I had a child named Master Mo Daochang. I knew that Mo Daochang might have taken in a disciple when he was traveling. The first time I saw him today, it should be this child.
"That's right. This is a disciple named Wuyou that I took in when I was traveling. I hope you will take care of me in the future!" Mo He smiled and nodded, introducing Wuyou to these people in front of him.
While talking, Su Bai and Zhou Bo also walked in one after the other, attracting the attention of everyone present.
"Everyone, Sui'an!" As soon as Su Bai came in, he bowed his hands to everyone present with a smile.
Looking across the crowd, Su Bai nodded lightly when he saw Mo He, and then also noticed Wuyou beside Mo He, so he turned his gaze to Mo He again, with a hint of questioning in his eyes.
Seeing this, Mo He nodded slightly.
There were quite a lot of people who came to visit, and one room in the county government office couldn't fit so many people, so Su Bai didn't invite everyone to sit down, and directly took the visitors to the outside together, Said while walking.
"Because of the complete opening of the Yuhe River this year, the lives of the people in Zi'an County have improved a lot, so this year's New Year's Day in Zi'an County must be more lively than in previous years. The county government has prepared a lot of celebration programs, why don't you all go together How about taking a look
He spoke in an inquiring and discussing tone, but Su Bai's footsteps did not stop, and everyone naturally had to follow.
With Wuyou by his side, Mo He walked at the end of the crowd, and went out of the county government together with everyone. Now he wandered around the city and saw a lot of programs, except for the parade celebration project when he first entered the city. There are also some folk craftsmen who do not know where they are invited, and they also perform in some places on the street, making the whole city a lively atmosphere.
All the way to the Yuhe wharf, today, there are no hard workers on the wharf, everyone has gone back to prepare for the New Year, but there are still many people here, including local businesses and some people from the county government.
To Mo He's surprise, there were several disciples of the Five Elements Temple here, and beside them, there was a party tens of meters high, covered with a red cloth, and it was impossible to see what it was.
Su Bai walked slowly to the thing covered with red cloth, smiled and saluted several disciples of the Five Elements Concept, "Few Daoists have worked hard!"
"Master Xianzun is polite, it's just a trivial matter, please, Mr. County Zun!" The disciples of the Five Elements Temple also bowed back and made a gesture of please to Su Bai.
Seeing that Su Bai reached out to grab the piece of red cloth, as if he was about to tear it off, Mo He, who was standing at the back of the crowd, almost knew what was behind the red cloth, so he couldn't help smiling and shaking his head.
"brush!"
Su Bai grabbed the red cloth with a little force, and tore off the piece of red cloth. Under the red cloth was a block of ice tens of meters high, and inside the ice block was a strip of the same number. Ten meters long, but very normal-looking fish.
Such a big fish does not have much evil spirit on its body, which means that this fish is just an ordinary fish, and it is really rare for an ordinary fish to grow so big.
"I specially asked several Taoists from the Five Elements Temple to find such a big fish. Today, I will cook it in the city for all the people to eat. I hope that Zi'an County will have a bumper harvest of grain and rice in the coming year, and the people's homes will be rich. Every year is more than enough!" Su Bai said loudly to the people around him, and the big households who followed him, as well as the common people who watched the fun all burst into applause.
Next, this big fish sealed in ice was brought back to Zi'an County to be cooked. Knowing that this was specially arranged by the county government, everyone in the city could eat it. Naturally, everyone was very happy and let The joyous mood in the town was once again high.
Su Bai is destined to be very busy today, so Mo He doesn't want to continue to follow, he said to Su Bai from a distance, and then prepared to leave with no worries.
But before leaving, Mo He had one more thing to do.
He took out some mirrors he bought in Jingzhou, especially those mirrors that could radiate light. He pinched the formula in his hand, and several tall wooden poles immediately grew on the houses on both sides of the road.
The appearance of these wooden poles immediately attracted the attention of many people in the city, but when they saw that it was made by Mo He, everyone didn't panic. What are you going to do.
What happened next disappointed everyone. After the wooden poles appeared, Mo He just hung a few mirrors on the wooden poles, clapped his hands, and left Zi'an County without worry.
After Mo He left, the people in Zi'an County were discussing a lot, and everyone was guessing, what was the mystery of the mirrors Mo He hung on the wooden poles.
"Master, why did you hang those mirrors on the wooden pole?" Walking out of Zi'an County, Wuyou asked suddenly behind him.
"It's nothing, today is the New Year's Eve, everyone wants to celebrate for a while, so I'll let everyone have more fun." Mo He turned his head and said to Wuyou with a smile.
"oh!"
Wuyou nodded lightly, and didn't ask any more questions.
The reason why Mo He did this was of course not only to make this new year more lively, but also had another meaning, that is, to refresh his sense of existence.
Since the arrival of the Five Elements Temple, although Mohe will not be affected too much, but what happened to the villagers in Zi'an County, seeking help from Mohe is no longer the only choice. Now, at the end of the year, the Five Elements Temple is helping Su Bai After getting a big fish, the common people will more or less remember the view of the Five Elements is good. If they don't do something, then their sense of presence in Zi'an County will really decrease in the future.
"Let's go, it's time for us to go back for the New Year!"
