Taoist temple in the mountains

Chapter 109, Memorial

Every oil paper boat present had a little bit of fluorescent light floating around, there were many, and there were few, but there was nothing missing.

The old people believed that this was a wandering spirit returning home, and kept praying, but most of the young people thought it was a stunt.

However, it is undeniable that this scene of lighting up the stars is so beautiful that almost everyone is infatuated for a while, wanting to take pictures to record this perfect scene.

"It is said that every star is formed by the condensed soul of the dead. Is this true?" A pretty fashionable girl looked at her paper boat full of words and muttered to herself.

No one answered the girl, they just prayed silently and missed the ancestors.

The paper boat surged with the stream and flowed downstream, where there were special villagers responsible for recycling the wreckage of the oil-paper boat to avoid unnecessary pollution.

Li Yun also took out the oil paper boat that he had prepared, um, Hanxiang, lit a joss stick, and followed the stream away.

Not to pay homage to others, but to pay homage to the lonely souls and wild ghosts here.

Legend has it that ghosts have no homes to return to, and no one worships them. The rituals of the Ghost Festival every year are to pay homage to the ghosts who are homeless and to make atonement for the ghosts.

As the oil paper boat went down the stream, a little bit of starlight also flew up, but this starlight was much more than the combined starlight of the people around.

"May you find your way home and not get lost in the fields."

After the Zhongyuan sacrifice was over, Li Yun greeted the villagers and went back to the Taoist temple alone. Han Xiang seemed to be addicted to playing, and became friends with these children. They were all in Xiangtou Mountain anyway. As a mountain spirit, incense can teleport at will in Xiangtou Mountain.

After returning to the Taoist temple, Li Yun turned around and saw that he couldn't see the foot of the mountain, but he could see the stars floating towards the sky.

"Being homeless is the saddest thing. It's human or ghost, it's all the same. Maybe this is the meaning of Zhongyuan Daochang." Li Yun sighed.

"Zhongyuan Zhi, the gate of ghosts is opened, it is a dojo of insidious affairs, attuned to lonely souls, you can get incense merits, today's host enlightened lonely souls, and gained a lot of merit, I hope the host will continue to work hard." After the system finished speaking, it continued. silence.

Li Yun also stopped looking at the stars, and returned to the Taoist temple, took out the paper money and paper ingots he had prepared in advance, and burned them.

This time, the burning of the paper money was not for the lonely souls of the ten miles, but to pay homage to the ancestors.

The Hungry Ghost Festival is a festival of filial piety, and the real theme is to pay homage to ancestors.

Take out two plaques, one is an empty plaque, and the other is the spiritual seat of Xuandaozi's generation, which is burned twice, one for Xuandaozi's ancestors, and one for the ancestors of his biological parents.

"Next time, I will burn a Ferrari for you to experience the wonderful life of modern people." Li Yun smiled and burned the paper money.

"Host, your ancestors are [-]% reincarnated now, no matter how much paper money you burn, it's useless," the system said.

"Brother System, this is wrong. Many people don't believe in gods and Buddhas, gods, and reincarnation, but they still burn paper money for their deceased relatives and ancestors every year during Qingming. Do they all know that the paper money they burn is real?" Can it be conveyed?" After burning the last paper ingot, Li Yun said to the system with a smile: "Burning paper money and worshiping ancestors has more symbolic meaning than practical significance, because most people, worshiping, just entrust their own The condolences of the deceased are just to express my thoughts.”

The system was silent and did not say any more.

After clearing away the ashes of the paper money, Hanxiang also returned to the Taoist temple, with a happy smile on her face, as if she was still unsatisfied.

"It's fun playing hide-and-seek with the kids." Li Yun said with a smile.

Hanxiang nodded heavily, and said with a happy smile: "At first I played hide-and-seek, and later I played eagle catching chickens. Well, although I've always been an eagle, I'm still very happy."

"Eagle! Got an eagle? Where is it!"

Brother Ji closed his eyes and raised his head with a sharp face, watching vigilantly.

"Um, there are no eagles, it's just a game, don't be so nervous." Li Yun said helplessly, this chicken brother is always very sensitive in this regard.

"Don't make a fuss if there is no eagle, I'm going to scare the chicken to death." The chicken brother flapped his wings, and began to shrink into a ball again, huddling on the yellow straw ball.

The weather is getting colder, and the activity time of this chicken brother is getting shorter and shorter. Sometimes even the pandas don’t molested. Get into its warm straw nest, looking for warmth.

At the same time, a person stood at the door of Sanqing Temple.

Li Yun had a feeling in his heart, so he went out to receive him. At the same time, he was a little curious, how could someone come to the Sanqing Temple on such a late night.

You must know that this mountain road is difficult to walk. Anyone with a little brain will not choose to walk at night. Even people who are very familiar with Xiangtou Mountain will try to avoid night walks.

Even though the road has been repaired, none of the beasts that should have been left.

When I came out, I saw a very young and fashionable girl with short hair, light makeup, and a pretty face. She looked about 18 years old. Although she was dressed in fashion, she had a high school student's unique style. green taste.

Li Yun had a little impression of this girl. When she was doing things at the foot of the mountain, she was on the shore not far away, holding an oiled paper boat in her hand.

He is also from Xiangtou Mountain Village, but Li Yun doesn't know him.

"Daozhang Yun, hello." The girl was a little reserved, and she couldn't let go when she spoke.

"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, what is the reason for the layman to go up the mountain at night? This barren mountain and ridge, where wild beasts run rampant at night, is not a good place." Li Yundao.

"Don't worry, I'm a native of Xiangtou Mountain. I know where I can go and where I can't go in the mountains. Besides, the roads here are so well built, so there won't be any problems." The girl scratched her head in embarrassment, and then Said: "The main reason is that there are some questions, I have to ask them today."

Do you have to come and ask?

Li Yun was a little puzzled, but he still said, "If you have any questions, you may as well speak up."

"Daozhang Yun, are there really ghosts in this world? Can you really see ghosts?" The girl stared at Li Yun seriously.

Li Yun said lightly.

"Believe or not. Believe it or not."

"If you believe it, you have it, but if you don't believe it, you don't have it?" The girl lowered her head with a complicated expression, and finally took a deep breath, and said, "I believe it now, can you show me a ghost?"

"Let me see him."
