I'm catching tricks in the Hong Kong variety show world

He saw the old buffalo raised by his third uncle walking slowly towards this side, and there were several weasels with different hair colors lying on the buffalo.

Chen Aibing also heard the rumor that the old buffalo went crazy and pushed Chen Dahu into a hole. The villagers said that the cow went crazy and warned the children in the village to run away when they saw it and never get close.

Chen Aibing has no such concerns.

He was sure that the old buffalo would not hurt him.

Because this old buffalo has been following his third uncle longer than these weasels.

Chen Aibing struggled to stand up with the shovel. The old buffalo slowly came to Chen Aibing, lowered his head, and looked at Chen Aibing with his nose. Then he lowered his body and put his nose to Chen Aibing's injured leg as if he was spiritual. On the legs, sniffed again.

Like two old friends who haven't seen each other for a long time.

Chen Aibing felt a deep concern and closeness from the gentle movements and anthropomorphic eyes of this buffalo.

This feeling is very strange.

He stretched out his hand and touched one of the other's horns. There was still a layer of dark red blood on it. Chen Aibing gritted his teeth and praised: "Your horns are very good. It's a pity that you didn't gore that beast to death. If I had You will definitely go to his house and kill his whole family. When his two children grow up, they will definitely be as much of a nuisance as his father."

"My third uncle must have been killed by the Chen brothers. This morning I took a kitchen knife to the coal mine to settle the score with Chen Xiaohu, and the result..."

Chen Aibing sat back on the stone again and rambled on about what happened today.

The amazing thing is that this old buffalo is like a close old friend, and it doesn't mind Chen Aibing's nagging. It just stays next to him, its tail wagging from time to time to drive away mosquitoes on its butt.

He never stopped opening his mouth and kept chewing the cud.

Cows are herbivores, and their main food is grass and plants.In order to digest this food, cows need to chew constantly.This behavior is called rumination and is an important part of the cattle digestive system.

Unlike the human digestive system, which has only one stomach, the cow's digestive system has four stomachs.

The four stomachs are the rumen, reticulum, membranous stomach and abomasum.

The cow's food first enters the rumen, then is regurgitated into the mouth, chewed again, and then swallowed again into the reticulum.This process is called rumination, and it helps cattle digest food better.

Usually the lifespan of a buffalo is between 20 and 35 years. The living environment and nutritional status of the buffalo are directly related to their lifespan.

If Chen Aibing remembers correctly, the buffalo owned by his third uncle is already over 20 years old, and his movements already show his age.

He stretched out his palm and touched the rough back of the buffalo, but what came to his mind were his third uncle's words to persuade him to be patient.

Chen Aibing gritted his teeth and said, "If you want revenge, at least wait until my leg injury heals."

"Then finish college and go out and find a job that makes money."

"It's just that when I'm in my 30s and have a certain amount of interpersonal relationships and money savings, the other party's two little kids will have grown up, and we will still be in a weak position by then."

"Third uncle must not have thought of this level."

The Chen brothers are now in their 30s, and each has a son who is almost ten years old.

In another seven or eight years, when these two children grow up, they will still be able to beat the old Chen family, unless he can be admitted to the civil service, but it doesn't matter, it won't be easy.

Chen Aibing frowned for a while.

The old buffalo beside him seemed to have heard Chen Aibing's complaints. It slowly came to the burned ruins and walked straight to the original bedroom, followed by a few chirping weasels as usual.

Chen Aibing looked at the scene in front of him with a hint of curiosity and doubt in his eyes.

I saw the old buffalo picking through the ashes with its hoofs raised, like an old man collecting scraps. Suddenly its limbs stopped, and it lowered its body and used its horns to dig out a gray thing from the ashes.

Chen Aibing took a closer look and found that it was a gray-brown urinal.

This urinal looks similar to a teapot, except that the mouth is slightly larger, like a morning glory. The whole body is made of earth, so it can be preserved in the fire.

The old buffalo turned around, stamped his front foot, and motioned for Chen Aibing to follow him.

The latter curiously came forward with a shovel and wrenched the urinal out of the ashes.

When Chen Aibing was still wondering if there was any treasure hidden in the urinal, one of the old buffalo's horns picked up the entrance of the urinal, then smashed it to pieces on the rock, revealing a well-preserved booklet from inside. .

There was a layer of oilcloth wrapped outside the booklet, but a large piece of the oilcloth had been burned away. Chen Aibing opened the booklet and saw several lifelike animal portraits inside.

In order: cow, dog, sheep, pig, chicken.

On the top of the pattern are three large dark characters - Five Animal Gods.

Chen Aibing had a sudden connection and remembered the portrait that was originally enshrined in the lobby of his third uncle's house. It turned out that his third uncle actually believed in this thing. He had always thought it was landscape superstition.

But look at the old buffalo in front of you.

Looking at the weasels next to me.

Whether it was the old buffalo or the several weasels in front of him, they had become spiritually enlightened. Chen Aibing suddenly became enlightened, opened his mouth and shouted: "I understand, you want me to worship the Five Animal Gods like my third uncle, and then let me Will the Five Animal Gods help me take revenge?"

The old buffalo stamped his feet, then nodded.

Chen Aibing felt as if he had found a treasure for a moment, and he already had hope in his heart.

In their Ji Province, there was originally a story about the Five Immortals, so Chen Aibing did not have too many doubts. He just felt that he had found the direction in his heart. He turned around again to look at Chenjiadun at the foot of the mountain, and found that under the scarlet sky of the sunset, the entire color had changed. Gotta brighten up.

Chen Aibing happily received the brochure and patted the old buffalo on the head, "This is my third uncle's thing. I've taken it away now. You can take care of yourself on the mountain. When I heal my injury, go outside and buy one." When the puppy comes back, I will follow the description in the booklet and worship it at home every day."

Afterwards, Chen Aibing held the shovel and walked back down the mountain step by step.

The old buffalo did not leave, but watched Chen Aibing coming down the mountain. The cow's ears stirred up from time to time, and there was a hint of relief in a pair of cloudy cow eyes.

Then it snorted, and Xiao Jiu emerged from the bushes beneath him. As if he had received some instructions, he followed Chen Aibing's back down the mountain.

The hillside at the end of Chenjiadun Village has returned to calm again.

If someone were standing at the end of the village and looking back, they might be able to spot a standing figure, still standing where Chen Aiyang stood before, looking towards the village with his head held high.

The direction he was looking at was the tile-roofed house of Chen Aibing's family.

Chapter 259: Paying homage to the Immortal

Shortly after Chen Aibing left, an old weasel with sparse hair skillfully climbed onto the buffalo's back.

Its hind limbs stand upright, and the three white hairs on its forehead are particularly conspicuous.

This is the ancestor of the group of weasels in the back mountain, also called Baimao.

Now it has successfully sought the title and has become a 'Great Immortal', and its causal destiny has been linked to Chen Aiyang.

At this time, Bai Mao spread one of his front paws across his forehead, like an ape standing on a branch and looking out, with his eyes squinting, showing a hint of anthropomorphism.

If anyone saw this scene at this moment, I am afraid they would sigh, "You become better with age."

Because every move it makes actually imitates the human form.

Humans are the oldest of all primates and the masters of this world. Most humans follow the habit of sunrise and sunrise, so that other creatures, whether predators or herbivores, try their best to Try to avoid human territory, otherwise you will become a meal on the plate.

Little did you know that the famous iron-eating beast in ancient times has now learned to be cute. The pig-eating dragon in the water has become smaller and smaller, and has automatically evolved into a coexistence mode that is harmless to humans. Its combat power is about [-]-[-] that of a big white goose.

Isn't this another form of survival of the fittest through natural selection?

For this reason, many beasts have gone against the norm and staggered their hunting and eating time with human activity times, changing it to night.

Human beings are the true masters and kings of the earth, higher organisms standing at the top of the food chain.

After this white-haired creature has been with humans for a long time, every move it makes begins to imitate humans.

After a long time, Bai Mao patted the big buffalo's back, and they turned around together and slowly disappeared into the bushes on the back hillside.

Chen Jiadun, Chen Aibing's home.

The latter used the shovel as a crutch and trudged back.

Unable to resist his curiosity, he opened the booklet in his arms and took a look.

I found out that it turned out to be a secret book on how to "worship a fairy".

Chen Aibing thought of the spiritual old buffalo he had just met on the hillside, and then he understood why Chen Aiyang enshrined the Five Animal Gods in the living room during his lifetime.

"It turns out that Third Uncle asked me to be patient, not because he pinned the hope of revenge on me, but to find another way."

Ji Province has had the tradition of worshiping family immortals since ancient times. The famous Five Immortals of the Northeast, among which the 'Huang Xian' and 'Liu Xian' came from their side. The common people are no strangers to worshiping family immortals, and they cannot talk about it. Rejected, just can't find the way.

Baijiaxian comes from the three eastern provinces, which is actually a general term. In fact, the tradition of Baijiaxian is popular in Jilin Province, Heilongjiang Province and the eastern part of Inner Province, such as Hulunbuir, Ulanhot, Tongliao and other cities in Inner Province.

However, because Liao Province is close to the sea and has a developed economy, this thing is no longer popular.

Crosstalk, or Errenzhuan, is popular in Liao Province. This has been included in the Spring Festival Gala and has become an intangible cultural heritage.

Chen Aibing took advantage of the light outside the door and slowly browsed the brochure in his hand. The first step to worship a family fairy is to find a qualified partner. They can spend time together day and night to enhance the intimacy between the person and the family fairy as quickly as possible. Spend.

This is one of them.

The second is to cultivate the spirituality of the family immortals.

If the family immortal you worship is a fool, it will definitely end without any illness.

As for the third step, which is the last step, the family immortal opened his spiritual wisdom under the worship of human beings. Through a certain method of cultivation, his Taoism became higher and higher. Finally, humans used the magical power of the family immortal to manifest their sainthood, and reached this point. You can start teaching in one step.

But nowadays, the market for worshiping Jiaxian is getting smaller and smaller, and people believe more in science than superstition.

For example, the White Immortal among the Five Immortals has been greatly affected. In the past, science and technology were backward, and when one fell ill and had no money for medical treatment, there was a tradition of seeking treatment from the Five Immortals.

What Bai Xian is good at is using talisman paper to cure diseases.

Nowadays, people’s first choice after falling ill is always to go to the hospital or clinic.

Among the Five Immortals, the one that suffered the greatest impact was not the White Immortal, but the Liu Immortal, because the method of offering sacrifices to the Liu Immortal was the most bizarre and cruel. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the three eastern provinces were not at peace all year round. Warlords fought in melee, and countless civilians were killed and injured.

The body of Liuxian is a big snake, that is, a python.

Let the python devour human corpses. Over time, there will be a trace of resentment in the body. Over time, it will have the magical power to swallow yin and yang. Whether it is living or dead, it can be swallowed in one bite.

How can such conditions exist nowadays?

Chen Aibing nodded while watching.

The Five Animal Gods come from the tradition of worshiping great immortals, and can be regarded as a castrated and simplified version.

Chen Aibing is now in trouble. Where can he find such a partner?

Chen Aibing originally planned to go out and buy a puppy, preferably a golden retriever or an Alaskan puppy. First, it is large and can be used as a helper, and second, its IQ is not low.

A 'smart' dog like the Husky certainly does not qualify.

Neither can someone who is too smart like a border collie.

Once in danger, the Border Collie will abandon his master and run away without hesitation.

Buying a dog requires a lot of money, not to mention that Chen Aibing has an injured foot and has difficulty moving.

Chen Aibing sighed and put the pamphlet away silently. Suddenly his eyes lit up. Xiaojiu, who had met him several times before, walked and smelled the sunset in the west and appeared in Chen Aibing's sight.

Chen Aibing was overjoyed and waved to the other party, "Little one, come here."

Xiaojiu seemed to understand Chen Aibing's intention, and stopped one meter in front of Chen Aibing happily and cleverly.

A thought flashed through Chen Aibing's mind. The method of the Five Animal Gods was actually derived from the Five Immortals. Why bother buying puppies at the expense of the near and far away? Isn't this weasel a good 'enshrined' object right now?

First, although this weasel is small, it is full of intelligence and can actually understand Chen Aibing's orders. This alone has already passed many targets.

Second, Xiaojiu should have dealt with Chen Aibing's third uncle many times before. Now that the third uncle is gone, it is only natural that Chen Aibing inherit some of the third uncle's inheritance.

Moreover, this weasel did not reject Chen Aibing at all, and seemed to show a lot of trust in it. This level of intimacy was directly conquered.

There is only the third step left, which is to make the weasel in front of him his partner, and at the same time enshrine it to become an immortal. Then he may not be able to use its power to take revenge.

After thinking about this, Chen Aibing seemed to have found a direction in his heart, and his eyes were no longer confused.

"Come here, I'll prepare dinner for you."

Chen Aibing happily returned to the dining table in the living room and took off the table cover covering the food. He ate one of the three salted eggs before, fed one to Xiaojiu, and left one.

He filled half a bowl of white rice, stirred the salted duck eggs into the rice, poured some vegetable soup into it, and finally pushed the porcelain bowl to the corner of the Eight Immortals table and pointed at Xiaojiu.

The latter didn't need much urging. He climbed up along the table legs in a few moments, looked at Chen Aibing and ate happily.

The rice was cold and the dishes were a little shabby, but it could already feel the kindness radiating from Chen Aibing's eyes.

This is where trust is rare.

Xiaojiu has already developed an inexplicable kindness and trust in Chen Aibing.

Chen Aibing thought of the portraits on the wall of his third uncle's house. He rummaged around in his room and found a piece of white paper and a paintbrush. These were Chen Aibing's unused school supplies in high school and were relatively well preserved.

He took advantage of Xiao Jiu's break to eat, spread out the white paper, used a wooden board as a support, and started drawing Xiao Jiu's appearance. After a while, the sketch of a weasel appeared vividly on the white paper.

The more Chen Aibing looked at it, the more satisfied he became. He found some rice soup that he had not used up at noon, and put up Xiaojiu's portrait on the wall of the living room with great difficulty.

It's a pity that there are no incense candles and yellow paper in the house.
