Chapter 126 A daughter in the Lin family grew up early

Today is the birthday of Lin Mo, the proud daughter of the Lin family in Putian. Anyone who knows anything has to rush to celebrate her birthday.

Xian Yaowen's family picked up Hong Yingdong's family of four, and then met Luo Yingshi's family at the agreed place. Four cars lined up in a row and headed for Yuen Long.

After entering Yuen Long, we met many people with the same purpose on the road. In order not to be left behind, the few drivers stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the car whizzed forward. However, after a while, the speed of the car increased again. After it came down, there were too many pedestrians on the road, so crowded that it was impossible for cars to drive past.

Having no choice, the group had no choice but to get out of the car and jog forward.

After running for a while, they came to a large house full of people. Without taking a breath, they all took their gifts and filed into the house. When they saw Miss Lin sitting on the high platform, the whole group knelt down.

"The Queen of Heaven..." Hong Yingdong's wife muttered.

"Empress Mazu..." Luo Yingshi's wife.

"Our Lady of Heaven..." This is Su Lizhen and Cen Peipei.

"Miss Lin, I wish you a long and prosperous life, and congratulate you on your happy birthday..." The one who was so out of place was naturally Xian Yaowen.

Hong Yingdong and his wife are both Dan family members and believe in Mazu; Luo Ying's ancestors fished and went to Southeast Asia, so they also believe in Mazu; Cen Peipei and Su Lizhen's ancestors did not fish or go to Southeast Asia, but they still believe in Mazu.

Xian Yaowen inherited the glorious tradition of his family, believing in nothing but believing in everything. He has done some research on various religious doctrines and doctrines and will not be swayed by illusory beliefs. At the same time, he also respects the beliefs of others.

For him, coming to worship Mazu is more about getting together with friends.

After worshiping in the temple, several people went to the designated incense burning place outside the temple to burn incense. Then they came to an open space dozens of meters away from the temple and looked at the two thick columns in the center of the open space lifting up the tall trees. Archway, in the middle of the towering archway there are four big characters "protect the environment and the people".

There is also a high platform in front of the archway. The leading figures of Yuen Long's Eighteen Heungs sit on the high platform. In front of the high platform, 108 plum blossom stakes of different heights surround the nine-meter-high Azure Pillar according to the position of the star piles. At this time, the sky The azure pillars have not yet been hung with the azure flowers. They have to wait until the Eighteen Heung Rural Affairs Committee leads everyone to offer incense to the Queen of Heaven and pray to the Queen with the azure flowers before the azure pillars are hung with the azure flowers.

Hong Yingdong pointed to the Tianqing Pillar and introduced to everyone: "There are thirty fireworks festivals in this Tin Hau Temple. In the past, they used to compete for the fireworks to determine the ownership of the fireworks. There were often conflicts, especially the year before last, when more than a dozen people were seriously injured. Two people died, and a happy event turned into a funeral. After the establishment of the Shiba Heung Rural Affairs Committee, it was changed to a lottery method to determine the ownership of the fireworks, and the original fireworks grabbing ceremony was changed to a lion dance and green picking."

[The fireworks here are not firecrackers, but a frame made of bamboo strips, with a statue of Mazu enshrined in the middle. A large number of decorations are hung on the body of the cannon - mascots recognized and appreciated by believers, and various auspicious symbols on the fireworks. The objects will be repeated according to the number of good intentions, or used with other objects with the same meaning.

The fireworks in Yuen Long have various names. For example, the third one is "Ding Cai Liang Prosperity", which is the biggest and most beautiful. It is also the favorite meaning of the villagers, and everyone wants to grab it. ]
As Hong Yingdong's words fell, there was a commotion among the eighteen seats on the high platform. After a series of complicated etiquette, the "leader" spoke again, and then someone went to the Tin Hau Temple to hold out a piece of red cloth from the flower of wealth and prosperity. Tie up a bunch of green vegetables, and the pattern of blooming flowers of wealth is just exposed on the waist of the vegetables. The red and green colors are particularly eye-catching.

On the open space, thirty stations have been designated in advance. Leaders from various martial arts or lion dance halls stand in front of them. The disciples stand upright behind them, waiting for the leader's order to raise the lions and leave the camp, breaking through the flags and breaking the flag. Array.

At this time, there was actually not much difference between the martial arts hall (Southern School) and the lion dance hall. They both paid equal attention to martial arts training and lion dancing. It was just that the martial arts hall regarded lion dance as an input to maintain the operation of the martial arts hall, while martial arts training in the lion dance hall was to improve the performance of the martial arts hall. If the lion dance is good, those who can fight will know how to dance, and those who dance will definitely be able to fight.

Xian Yaowen looked around and saw Ye Wen and Qi Longdao among the team leaders.

Zhang Xuejian Zuolin once said, "The world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relationships." Most of the difficult characters that public security guards will encounter in their business activities in the future are closely related to martial arts schools.

Few people who go to martial arts gyms to practice martial arts are from rich families who have the luxury to regard martial arts training as a physical fitness sport. For most people who practice martial arts, martial arts training is a major investment for them. They dig out the tuition fees for martial arts training, and have to grit their teeth to "eat night porridge" after a day of physical work. If there is no big reward, do they need to be so persistent?
When people who practice martial arts with the intention of using force to protect themselves get through the period of self-preservation, they will naturally enter the period of using force to commit crimes. It is a natural law for dragon slayers to become evil dragons. No one can change it. Only a few lucky people among martial arts practitioners can open it. Martial arts schools make a living by teaching martial arts, most of them will be absorbed into the club, and a very small number will become gangsters.

This small part is the difficult role that public security guards will face in the future, and the main source of security is also martial arts practitioners in martial arts schools. Both parties come from the same place, and have a natural basis of closeness. They are mostly involved in the martial arts world. If the people are more familiar with the activities, when the gangsters choose the target for "starting work" in the future, they will more or less consider human feelings and go around the customers of the public security guards.

Of course, everything has pros and cons, and there is also the inevitable possibility of insiders cooperating inside and outside. This requires discipline and iron-blooded means to scare the security guards, and pay more attention to their lives, so as to reduce the security guards' need for quick money as much as possible.

Looking to the left side of the high platform, the hundred-member drum band is ready. When the lion dance wins the championship, the band will play drum music. During the lion dance stage, the lion dancers must make various movements in accordance with the drum music. Such as rolling, pounce, blinking, shaking the head, etc., and the starting gun for winning the bronze medal is actually a drum song. When the band plays "Broken Formation", it means the winning of the bronze medal has begun. The lion dancers can run from the battlefield to the plum blossom pile to compete for the flowers of wealth and honor. Kaiqing.

Liang Zhifeng, chairman of the Eighteen Heung Rural Affairs Committee, had a bright smile on his face. He stood on the high platform holding a bunch of flower blossoms in his hands and said loudly to the people below the high platform: "Today is the Queen's birthday. Lion kings from all walks of life gathered together to dance and win the gold medal." Pray for blessings. Last year on this day, Five Blessings came to my door and I hung the azure pillar for Master Hong Quan Zhang. I wonder which master will hang the azure pillar on the azure pillar before the Queen Mother is enshrined?"

"We, Cai Lifu Martial Arts School, are willing to honor all of our comrades!"

"The White Crane Sect is willing to pay tribute to all our comrades..."

As soon as Liang Zhifeng finished speaking, the thirty square formations below started shouting.

Although climbing a pillar and hanging a bronze medal is not as eye-catching as winning a bronze medal, it is still something that attracts the limelight. Why do people come to Yuen Long, a rural place, to dance lions and win a bronze medal? Is it to make money and contribute to their own martial arts schools? To become famous, you rely on accepting apprentices to earn tuition fees. If your own kung fu is not famous, whoever comes to apprentice will pay the tuition fees.

However, amidst the shouts from all the martial arts schools, Liang Zhifeng personally appointed the Hongfo Sect.

This left everyone speechless. The leader of the Hong Fo Sect was Hung Shan Po. His father, Hung Chiu-shing, was nicknamed Pak Mao Chiu. He was a disciple and grandson of Hong Xiguan. When Hong Kong fell, Pak Mao Chiu moved his family from Shau Kei Wan to Ping Shan, Yuen Long. The ancestral hall continues to teach the martial arts of the Hong Buddha sect, and it can be said that the Hong Buddha sect is Yuen Long’s own people.

"Thank you, Chairman Liang, for your appointment, and thank you, seniors Shu Shulin, and brothers and sisters, for your support." Hong Shanbao stood in front of the Hong Buddha Sect team and saluted with fists clasped toward the high platform and the surrounding areas.

Liang Zhifeng raised the Wealth Flower Blooming Green above his head with both hands, "Master Hong, please ask the disciples to come and get the Green Hanging Pillar!"

"Disciple of Hong Buddha, take the green hanging pillar!" As soon as Liang Zhifeng finished speaking, Hong Shanbao turned around and shouted loudly to his disciples.

A figure wearing a bright red military uniform with the words "Hong Buddha" on it rushed out from the crowd. He was as fast as lightning. He rushed to the bottom of the high platform in the blink of an eye. He kicked off his legs and jumped up to the high platform. He grabbed Liang Zhifeng's hand before his toes landed. The rich flowers bloomed green, and at the same time, they shouted out loudly: "Hong Buddha sent Hong Tianming to come and get the green!"

"My surname is Hong, Hong Shanbao's son?" Lord."

Hong Lao is the nickname of Milk Baby. It is a tradition of the Dan family to give boys the nickname "Mou Lao", while girls are mostly named after aquatic products.

Hong Yingdong shook his head, "Not sure."

While the two were talking, Hong Tianming took the flower of wealth and blossomed green, climbed down from the high platform, crossed the sand field and climbed the high stake, and took nine steps on the stake. In front of him was the nine-meter-high sky blue pillar, while the plum blossom pile under Hong Tianming's feet was only seven meters. High, although Hong Tianming's own height is almost the same as the Azure Pillar, there is a gap of two meters between the Plum Blossom Pillar under his feet and the Azure Pillar. These two meters are where the real skill is tested. Even if an ordinary martial artist manages to stay green, his movements will be a little awkward. This is one of the reasons why Liang Zhifeng appointed the Hongfo Sect. He had been notified in advance and the Hongfo Sect had also confirmed that the candidate to be sent would be Hong Tianming. With these two meters of kung fu, It has been practiced repeatedly for a long time.

I saw Hong Tianming jumping on the Azure Pillar and taking a step upwards. This step stood on the top of the Azure Pillar, making the most common golden rooster independent posture, but on the top of the nine-meter-high Azure Pillar, This action is a thousand times more sassy than usual.

"it is good!"

Dozens of disciples from the Hongfo Sect were the first to applaud, followed by people from other martial arts schools, and the melon-eating crowd watching the excitement.

"The footwork is really beautiful, better than last year's Xuan Qing." Hong Yingdong said.

Xian Yaowen echoed: "It's beautiful. I wonder if it's him who will perform the lion dance and climb the plum blossom pile. If so, it's a bit interesting."

Hong Tianming hung the blooming flower of wealth on the top of the azure pillar, and with a flying movement of stepping on the pillar, it fell back to the plum blossom pile like a falcon pouncing on its prey. He bounced several times and ran back to the Hongfo sect's team.

Hong Tianming's act of taking the green was a bit rude just now, so Liang Zhifeng was too lazy to make false greetings and directly said to the audience: "The flowers of wealth have bloomed and are hanging on the azure pillar. Masters, you can raise the lion to the music of the drum and offer congratulatory gifts to the Queen of Heaven." .”

Before he finished speaking, someone already made a gesture towards the 100-member drum band that had been waiting for a long time. Suddenly, dozens of large drums were beaten, and the rhythm was the basic drum of lion dance "Lion Raising".

As the drums sounded, all the leaders turned around, faced the disciples behind them and shouted loudly: "Get up the lion!"

The so-called lion raising means that the disciples participating in the lion dance put on the lion head and lion quilt, wait quietly for the sound of the drum to change to "lion rising", and then walk out of the camp to officially appear.

Ip Man calmly said to Liang Xiang, who was holding the lion's head in front of his chest: "Stable mind, good eyesight, body agility, and step control. Don't rush to charge in the battlefield. On the contrary, after climbing the stake, try to move towards the inner stake to avoid being caught. People were culling on the outside.”

Liang Xiang nodded towards Ye Wen: "Master, I know."

Ye Wen looked at the lion head: "It doesn't matter even if you can't win Qing, the most important thing is that you two return safely."

Qi Longque on the side opened the thermos pot and filled two bowls of soup with quick hands and feet. He handed it to Liang Xiang first: "A Liang, this is the soup blessed by the Queen of Heaven that my husband specially ordered to cook. After the lion comes out, be more careful." ."

Liang Xiang smiled at Qi Longque: "Thank you Long Dao."

Qi Longque gave Liang Xiang a bowl, then handed another bowl to Shiwei, and also said a warm and encouraging word.

Although a large number of members of the Armadillo Team did not worship Ip Man as their disciples, they were still part of the Ip Man Martial Arts School. When faced with such a big event, it would be unreasonable for them to come and contribute.

After Liang Xiang and Shiwei finished a bowl of soup, Ip Man roared loudly: "Cross out the lion!"

Looking at the public security guards, Xian Yaowu came to Qi Long Dao with two red bags and whispered in his ear: "Brother has prepared a red envelope and a red envelope. No matter whether he can pick Qingdu or not, Send it to everyone, big brother said, we are just here to show off, there is no need to fight too hard, safety comes first."

Qi Longdao nodded.

The drum sound of "Lion Raising" is about to end, and all the lions in the field are ready. Dozens of lions are standing on the spot, with sharp eyes waiting for the lions to come out.

At this moment, the drumming suddenly stopped, and then started playing again three seconds later. The drumming changed from slow and slow to slow and fast, and finally stopped with a sudden and earth-shattering roar!

As the drum sound stopped, the leader present shouted loudly at the same time: "Leon out!"

There were only a few dozen people shouting, but it was like the angry tide of the Qiantang River, with extraordinary momentum. Following the word "Crossing the Lion", the drum sound sounded again, this time playing "Crossing the Lion".

Thirty lions of different colors made neat movements in the open space to the sound of drums, moving little by little towards the edge of the battlefield. After the lions circled the battlefield, the tune of "Lions Out" stopped at the right time.

The sound of the drums stopped, and the thirty lions raised their legs and raised their heads from time to time, as if they had fleas on their bodies. In fact, the lion dancers were moving their bodies. "Leaving the Lion" had stopped, and then came "Breaking the Formation", which announced the official start of the competition. The sound of command for a group of lions to enter the battlefield to fight.

"Boom."

"Dong dong."

"Boom."

"Dong dong dong..."

Several monotonous drum beats sounded slowly, each lion leaned forward slightly, and the lion dancers all leaned forward, waiting to enter the battlefield at any time.

"boom!"

The biggest drum was beaten.

"Broken Formation"!
At the same time as the drums sounded, thirty lions roared towards the battlefield.

Liang Xiang stood on the outermost side, with no other lions surrounding him behind him. He didn’t worry about others trying to trick him, so he rushed towards the public security guard’s lion without haste. They were all acquaintances and had already discussed it in advance. The two lions must meet first, and the two sides will help each other and fight together on the battlefield.

Xian Yaowen glanced at the lions, and then at Xian Yaowu, who was standing upright in the camp of public security guards with a calm and majestic temperament. He knew that this piece of iron could be tempered into steel and become a watchdog lion of the Xian family.
