the last witcher

Immediately afterwards, the sloppy Taoist held a wad of longevity gold in his hand, looked at it for a long time and put it on the altar, and then said to me: "This thing is called longevity gold, and it is a gift money that is burned to the immortal family every time after asking for a magic talisman." , similar to the burnt paper we have here, is an essential tool for opening altar invitations."

When he realized that I didn't care about burning paper, the sloppy Taoist took a look at me and continued: "Don't think that burning paper is very simple. There is a lot of knowledge in it. Among other things, the paper money for medical treatment is divided into green and green. There are five kinds of paper money, red, yellow, white and black, but it is hard to see them now.

Doll, your family also has deceased relatives, and you will burn paper money for them on certain days, but do you know what kind of paper money you need to burn so that the other party can really receive it? "

I shook my head, thinking that there is no need to talk about this shit, I bought some of everything, and then burned it to the other party.

The sloppy Taoist probably guessed what I was thinking, so he explained to me very seriously: "When burning paper money, you should pay attention to the following points. First: People with Western beliefs, burning paper money has no effect. Those who believe in Catholicism and Christianity The Chinese try not to burn paper money by themselves. Because Western religions are not suitable for Eastern souls, and in the other party's belief, God is the only one, and there is no mention of burning paper money at all. Therefore, most of the paper money burned in the past is invalid. "

What the sloppy Taoist said reminded me of an interesting thing.It is said that my family used to have a neighbor who was a Christian, but every year when burning paper money, they would burn a lot of paper money for their deceased relatives just like everyone else.

But the difference is that when we finish the burning, we burn it. Often, some old people give us a dream, and then we burn some paper money for the other party, and the matter is resolved; the couple who believe in Christianity burn the paper money for their deceased relatives, and the other party continues. Tongmeng, saying that the money they burned was fake money, or that the money couldn't be spent.

When the couple mentioned this to everyone, everyone half-jokingly asked whether it was because of different beliefs that money was not easy to spend?The couple on the other side thought the same way, but since they both believed in Christianity, they couldn't stop believing in Christianity because of this, so they had to find some other reasons to justify it.After listening to the sloppy Taoist this time, I understand the truth.

"Then how to resolve it?" I asked hastily.

The sloppy Taoist said with a smile: "Ask immediate family members to burn it for them, but during the burning process, the person concerned must stay by the side until the burning is over."

Seeing that I suddenly realized, the sloppy Taoist continued: "The second type is the purely printed coins with a large denomination and don't burn them." The sloppy Taoist laughed to himself when he said this, "I've seen ones with a face value of [-] million yuan. Mingbi, and it’s just a piece of paper. We used to use copper coins to calculate, but now it’s good, a piece of paper is [-] million, what is it if it’s not counterfeit money? Even if the relatives below receive it, they can’t spend it, so this kind of Do not burn Mingbi.

The third is not to do things that hire people to burn.Nowadays, many wealthy people burn paper money, one truck at a time. You must know that burning paper money is a kind of sustenance, a kind of intention, and it does not mean that the more paper money you burn, the more deceased relatives will receive.What's more, even hired people to burn paper money, do you think the hired people can burn paper money with nostalgia?It is often just to burn things out as soon as possible, so don't do this kind of things. "

Hearing this, I asked in puzzlement: "Then how should I burn paper money? And what kind of paper money is best to burn?"

The sloppy Taoist took off the wine gourd on his back, took a sip and said: "The best paper money is the kind of paper money with copper coins imprinted on the yellow paper. The printing is completely invalid, just remember this. As for those paper money folded into ingots The gold foil paper is also a waste, as long as you burn a few bundles of fragrance when you burn the paper. What's more, when you burn the paper, you must do it yourself, put your thoughts in the paper money and burn it to the other party. How much is directly proportional to how much you miss, and does not depend on how much you burn."

After listening to the sloppy Taoist, I realized that there are so many things in it just to burn paper money. It seems that I really can't underestimate any kind of thing in it.

Afterwards, the sloppy Taoist put the brush, ink, inkstone and glass bowl containing water from the Four Treasures of the Study on the altar, turned to me and said: "Generally, most of the water needed for amulets is rootless water. Rainwater. But now that the pollution is serious, rainwater can’t be regarded as rootless, so let’s make do with plain water.”

It made me laugh when I heard it, but it’s also sad when I think about it. Human civilization has been progressing, but it was achieved at the cost of destroying the environment. It really makes me very helpless.

The sloppy Taoist took the ink stick and continued to say to me; "This is very good. You must know that the ink used in the invitation talisman must be ground by yourself. You can't use things like ink, otherwise it will be considered disrespectful to the immortal family."

Hearing this, I hurriedly asked, "What if the situation is urgent and you don't have time to study ink?"

The sloppy Taoist gave me a blank look, "It's an emergency, and I still pay attention to what those broken rules do."

Well, I finally understand the meaning of the phrase "rules are made to be broken".

"Go and get an iron pot." Just as I was thinking, this dead bull nose suddenly made out such a sentence for me.

"Why do you want pot?" The sloppy Taoist's words made me stupefied, so I asked hastily.I am kind, if the other party wants to eat hot pot, I can take you to the hot pot restaurant right away, the problem is that it is not until noon, why do you want hot pot?

But after thinking about it, I obediently found a small iron pot for the sloppy Taoist.The slovenly Taoist took the iron pot, put it under the altar, and said to me: "I forgot to ask you to buy a pot for burning longevity gold, so just take the iron pot and make do with it."

I'm so angry with you, uncle, you really drank too much, the little master forgot such an important thing, and used my pot to boil water instead, it's really embarrassing!

After everything was ready, the sloppy Taoist took out a seal with a Tai Chi pattern from his pocket and put it on the altar, then he said to me: "I will give you this seal, and in the future, you will find someone to make some with lightning strike peach wood." stamp."

I figured it out, this is a slap in the face to eat a sweet date, probably to make up for the mistake of using a pot instead of a paper pot.

Just as I was waiting for this dead bull nose to continue explaining, this guy actually asked me: "Baby, you didn't have sex last night (meaning ooxx)?"

Nima, this should belong to the little grandpa's personal **, when will it be your turn to ask, an old guy who is about to die.

Seeing that I didn't speak for a long time, the dead bull nose continued to ask: "Did you have sex last night?"

I shook my head extremely depressed, and then the sloppy Taoist said to me: "Just try not to have intercourse within twelve hours before inviting the gods, because once you have intercourse, the energy will leak out, which is not conducive to opening the altar to invite the gods. "

Well, I think too much, you old man who cares about everything, do I have to ask you for advice next time I want to do anything, but I am still very proud, after all, I had conditions last night, but I don't, I'm proud!
