The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 284 Ghost Festival Clashes with Ghosts ([-])

Or did Huanhuan sense it too?
At noon that day, Xia Xiangxi ran to the construction site again, and a piece of steel fell from the sky and threw it at her.Fortunately, Xia Xiangxi felt an evil spirit as soon as he entered the construction site, and he had been on guard for a long time!
Here I have to say that most people think that ghosts only appear at night, and during the day when the sun is so strong, ghosts dare not come out.In fact, this is not absolute.As the saying goes, prosperity must decline, and every month must lose.From the theory of yin and yang, at three quarters in the afternoon (twelve o'clock at noon) is when yang qi turns from peak to wan, and yin qi begins to grow.That is to say, Yang Qi has reached the time of decline at [-]:[-] noon, but Yin Qi only begins to develop at this time.Although the gate of the underworld has not been opened, the strong yang energy rushes straight into the underworld, and the conflict between yin and yang will cause the gate of the underworld to open slightly at this time, and ghosts can use this crack to escape to the human world secretly.The so-called hell in broad daylight that people often say is mostly at this time.In addition, for human beings, if the yang energy is too strong and the weather is too hot, people will suffer from heat stroke, which is unbearable.Therefore, the time when the yang energy in the world is at its strongest is actually the time when the yang energy is the weakest in the day.It just created an opportunity for those ghosts to harm people.

The other workers present were frightened to death. They all thought that the piece of steel could directly pat Xia Xiangxi into a steak.After the flying dust subsided, the steel smashed the ground a few centimeters deep, and some timid workers ran away in fright, afraid of seeing the bloody and terrifying scene.After those daring people had surrounded them, they slowly moved towards the scene of the accident with their heads probed.

They all thought that Xia Xiangxi was bound to die, and some workers who knew Xia Xiangxi thought it was a pity that a young girl who was not yet married disappeared in the blink of an eye, how hard her family must be!

Unexpectedly, after everyone worked together to lift up that piece of steel, there was nothing underneath, such as meat sauce and steak, if you want to see it, you should go to the supermarket to buy it!Not here!

Just when everyone was wondering, a weak and trembling female voice sounded from one side, "Hey, you scared me to death!"

Everyone followed the sound and saw that there was a pile of sand on the side that actually moved. "Ghost!" The timid man cried out all of a sudden.

The daring person shouted "Where is the ghost, don't fucking talk nonsense, while picking up a stick on the spot, bravely walked over to the sand pile, and took a closer look, where is the ghost, that's not that Xia Xiangxi, who was killed by Dafuda? It was a false alarm, and everyone felt very lucky that Xia Xiangxi escaped.

Afterwards, the company also knew that Xia Xiangxi had almost had an accident on the construction site, so the supervisor lost his temper with Xia Xiangxi, saying that she was free to go to the construction site for nothing?If she was crushed to death, the construction site would be shut down by the supervisory department because of a major accident, and the construction period would be affected by then, so how much would the loss be...

Xia Xiangxi didn't hear a single word of comfort, and instead had to hand in a self-criticism.

If it was placed on someone else, the tears of grievance would be enough to shed.Xia Xiangxi would not.

She knew it was her fault.Otherwise, the construction site would not be stained with evil spirits.She didn't die because a ghost like Huanhuan was fine against others, but it was not so good against someone like her who dealt with zombies and evil spirits all day long.

If it wasn't because the people on the construction site were just off work and gathered around the construction site to eat, there were too many people, Xia Xiangxi could only protect himself due to the situation, otherwise he would not have allowed Huanhuan to escape happily.

Xia Xiangxi smiled at the fierce supervisor, and said, "I can't do this job anymore, so I won't write the review report, and hand in the resignation report directly!"

The supervisor immediately became furious, looking as if he wanted Xia Xiangxi to leave immediately, and his words became even worse.Xia Xiangxi ignored everything and pretended not to hear.

She wanted to resign at the moment, but it was not a glass heart, and she was vulnerable to setbacks, but she just didn't want to cause any trouble to the construction site because of her.

Xia Mo soon found out that Xia Xiangxi was almost killed at the construction site, so he went to Xiajia Village to watch the fun.In front of his grandfather, Xia Mo didn't dare to make a mistake, and he didn't tell about Xia Xiangxi's distress, he only said that he came to see his grandfather.When Xia Xiangxi sent him out, his poisonous tongue flared up.Staring at him, he asked Xia Xiangxi why he was still alive?He was originally here to give her a wreath, but it was a pity that he spent ten yuan for nothing!
Xia Xiangxi wanted to laugh when he heard Xia Mo say that. He thought Xia Mo was too naive.

At this time, an old friend of grandpa happened to come to see grandpa. When he saw Xia Mo, he greeted him affectionately, counted his seniority, and said that Xia Mo should call him grandpa, because Xia Mo's father also called him grandpa when he saw him.Although the radish is small, it grows in the generation.After an enthusiastic approach, Xia Mo, who was about to leave, was pulled back to Xia's house.

This dragged on until late at night before Xia Mo had a chance to leave.Grandpa asked Xia Xiangxi to see off Xia Mo, and he had to pass the crossroads at the entrance of the village.

Xia Mo said no.Grandpa said that today is the Ghost Festival, when the ghosts from all walks of life come back and wait for the sacrifice, they are too cloudy, and Xia Xiangxi will send them off to avoid any unlucky things.

Xia Mo didn't say anything else when he heard what his grandfather said. No matter how courageous he is, ghosts are taboos. Who wants to make himself unlucky?
Young people are not used to memorizing the lunar calendar.After hearing what his grandfather said, Xia Mo remembered that it is already the fifteenth day of July.Originally, he didn't care about letting Xia Xiangxi deliver it. It would be embarrassing for a big man to let a girl deliver it, but when grandpa mentioned it like this, he stopped talking.

This ghost festival is not only a Chinese festival, but also in the West.There are four major ghost festivals in China, which are July and a half, Ching Ming Festival, March [-]rd, and October [-]st.Among the Western ghost festivals, there are Mexican ghost festivals, Thai ghost festivals, etc., but the most famous one is Halloween.According to Taoism, the day of July [-]th is called Zhongyuan Festival, commonly known as Ghost Festival, July and a half, and Buddhism is called Ulan Basin Festival.

Legend has it that the underground palace is in charge of the gates of hell. On the day of the Ghost Festival, the underground palace opens the gates of hell. It is also the day when the gates of hell open. Ghosts eat. On this day, ancestors are worshipped, graves are visited, and lotus lanterns are lit to illuminate the way home for the dead.The Taoist temple holds a grand puja to pray for the auspiciousness of the dojo, the content of which is to save the souls of the dead.

The Ghost Festival usually lasts for seven days, and there are new dead and old dead.Those who died within three years were called new dead, and those who died for more than three years were called old dead.Superstition says that the old and new dead should go home to have a look during this time, and it is also said that the return time of the old and new dead is different, the new dead return first, and the old dead come back later.Therefore, sacrifices should be made separately.The time to burn the paper money is in the dead of night. First, sprinkle a few circles with lime in the yard, saying that the paper money is burned in the circle, and the lonely ghosts dare not come to snatch it, and then burn it in piles. They kept saying, "So-and-so is here to get the money." In the end, they had to burn a pile outside the circle, saying it was for lonely ghosts.On the day when the dead go back, no matter rich or poor, they have to cook a good meal to respect the dead, which is also called "send the dead".
