Fang Zheng had no doubts about Lone Wolf's words. Although Lone Wolf was often unreliable, he would not lie to Fang Zheng.
Lone Wolf continued: "Master, look, you haven't eaten enough, and I haven't eaten enough either. How about I go get some and we'll be at the bottom?"
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Even if a person has a lot of money, he has no obligation to entertain you for free. Treating you is a favor. How can you feel resentful if you don't entertain him because he has extra food? You can't even think about stealing things in the middle of the night!" "
After being scolded by Fang Zheng, Lone Wolf clapped his lips and said nothing. After a while, he still refused to give up and asked: "Master, that's what you said, and I understand the truth. But this hunger is real... Forget it, just be hungry, then you are not curious. , why did she get so many delicious things?"
This question touched on a key point. Although Fang Zheng was not going to steal anything, he was still curious. It must be unusual for a Taoist temple to suddenly make so many delicious food. Does she want to entertain guests? That's not right, Qingjing Sanren said that she basically has no guests here. Even if there are people passing by, there is tea, tables and chairs at the door. There is no need to enter the Taoist temple. You can just leave by yourself after eating and drinking at the door.
This is also the practice of many Taoist temples, and optimistic people also do this in order to avoid worldly karma and avoid contact with outsiders.
And how could such a person entertain a banquet with guests
Just when Fangzheng was curious, there was suddenly a sound of footsteps and the sound of moving things.
After Lone Wolf and Fang Zheng looked at each other, they immediately moved to the window and looked outside. They happened to see Qingjing San people carrying a long table and placing it in the yard. Then she took off a piece of red cloth from her left arm. The red cloth was originally folded and tied to her arm, but now she took it off and opened it. Fang Zheng estimated that the cloth was nearly one and a half meters long and eighty centimeters wide. The red edge and the black edge of about ten centimeters are very conspicuous.
What's even more strange is that Qingjing Sanren didn't open it completely, but opened it halfway and draped it on the table.
Seeing this, the lone wolf couldn't help it anymore. He swept Fangzheng's thigh with his tail and asked, "Master, isn't she too picky? She couldn't even bear to open the entire red cloth and only used half of it."
Fang Zheng slapped him directly to silence him, and then whispered: "What do you know? This is a Taoist rule! It is equivalent to a Buddhist rule. Fully opening the rule means supreme respect. And half-opening means respecting the gods. , the admiration of the immortal.”
When Lone Wolf heard this, he lowered his voice and exclaimed: "Could there be gods in this Taoist temple?"
Lone Wolf is not that fussed. In his opinion, Fangzheng can raise a monster as a boy, and it is understandable that there are gods in other places.
Fang Zheng didn't think so. He had already confirmed from Hong Hai'er and the system that there were no monsters or monsters in this world. And the reason why Qingjing Sanren did this...
Fang Zheng silently took out his mobile phone and checked the lunar calendar date. Upon seeing this, Fang Zheng suddenly realized and said: "I see, I didn't expect that today is the Xiayuan Festival."
"Xiayuan Festival?" Lone Wolf's eyes suddenly lit up. He had celebrated the Shangyuan Festival and the Zhongyuan Festival, and now he finally encountered the Xiayuan Festival. His first impression was that there must be something to eat during the festival.
Fang Zheng knew his disciples so well that he only had food in his mind. However, he patiently explained: "The Upper, Middle and Lower Three Yuan Festivals are all ghost festivals in China. However, the Xiayuan Festival is slightly different from the other two festivals. It is a pure, indigenous festival driven by Taoism. .
There are three officials in Taoism: the Heavenly Official, the Earth Official, and the Water Official. It is said that the Heavenly Official bestows blessings, the Earth Official forgives sins, and the Shuiguan relieves misfortune. The Xiayuan Festival is the day when Shuiguan relieves troubles and the Emperor of Yanggu relieves troubles. It is commonly known as this day. Based on the inspection, Shuiguan recorded a report to the Heavenly Court to relieve people from troubles. "On this day, Taoist temples serve as dojos, while the people offer sacrifices to the souls of the dead and pray to Yuanshuiguan to help solve problems. In ancient times, there were regulations by the imperial court that banned slaughter on this day and postponed the execution date of the death penalty.
But today, fewer and fewer people celebrate the Xiyuan Festival. This ancient culture is also dying out at an accelerating rate. Even the Yizhi Temple rarely celebrates this festival. Unexpectedly, I saw it here. "
Lone Wolf seemed to understand what he heard. After all, he had never been exposed to Taoism, so Lone Wolf couldn't understand what Heavenly Official's blessing was. It has been staring at the Qingjing Sanren in the yard...
At this time, Qingjing Sanren took out another piece of cloth, walked out of the yard, and hung it on a flagpole at the door! Lone Wolf looked up and saw four big characters written on it: "The country is peaceful and the people are safe"!
Lone Wolf looked at Fang Zheng subconsciously, and Fang Zheng said: "This is a method often used by Taoists in ancient times. It is also a way of praying during the Xiayuan Festival. The words on the flag are not static, but generally they are." Blessing words such as "Heaven, Earth and Water", "Good weather", "Guotai and Min'an" are for the water officials who come down from the sky to see. However, this custom has basically disappeared today. Unexpectedly, Qingjing San people still use it, and directly hang it with the words "Guotai and Min'an". Pray for the world. Qingjing Sanren’s mind is really not that big.”
When Lone Wolf heard this, he chuckled and said, "I don't know if I have a big heart or not, but my breasts are really big. If she gives birth to a child, she will definitely not starve to death. She can raise ten or eight without any problem."
When Fang Zheng heard this, his old face turned red, and he raised his hand and slapped him. This slap was a bit harsh, and the lone wolf flew out with a snarl, hit the wall with a snap, and then slowly slid down.
After landing on the ground, Lone Wolf said with an aggrieved face: "Master, why did you hit me?"
Fang Zheng snorted coldly and said: "Stay away from the pure heart from now on. If you don't learn from the good ones, you will learn a lot from the gangsters."
"Master, this is not what Jingxin said." Lone Wolf said.
Fang Zheng was stunned. Who else but Jing Xin would study these messy things every day
Lone Wolf continued: "That's what Xianyu said. He has been learning how to use a mobile phone from Jing Xin recently. He surfs the Internet every day and doesn't know what he is reading." At this point, Lone Wolf came over mischievously and whispered: "Master, I suspect that Xianyu is obsessed with gambling!"
"What?" Fang Zheng was shocked when he heard this! It's not that I'm worried that Xianyu will be deceived, but that I'm afraid that this guy will learn bad things and go out to trick people!
Fang Zheng tried to calm down and asked, "How did you know?"
Lone Wolf whispered: "I went out for a walk that day and saw Xianyu playing with his mobile phone. At the same time, there was a message from the mobile phone: "Macau's first online casino is online or something. As soon as he saw me, he immediately closed it. cell phone. Looks like he's being thiefy and sneaky, there must be something wrong with him. "
When Fang Zheng heard this, he said solemnly: "Does anyone else know about this?"
"No more." Lone Wolf said.
