Chapter 54 The Lantern Show
Ghost house?
I quickly asked Yang Ying, what is the meaning of Yin Zhai Feng Shui?
Yang Yingdao, "As you know, Yangzhai houses should be oriented north to south and west to east, while the Feng Shui of Yinzhai is the other way around."
My pupils shrank: "Isn't it possible that all the people in Zhaojiagou died?"
"That's not true, but it's very windy here. I always feel like something bad will happen."
Yang Ying said worriedly.
I comforted him and said, "You are following me closely. You are not afraid of being haunted."
"Yes, my hands have been itchy for a long time." Ao Sanye said eagerly.
I saw Sister Su frowning and staring at the village, and asked her: "Sister Su, in your previous life, were all the houses in the village built like this?"
Sister Su shook her head, "No, at that time, most of the houses in the village were made of earth and straw. Nowadays, these houses are all made of blue bricks. It has changed a lot."
I asked further, "At that time, there was a Chuma Immortal disciple like you, were there any other Chuma Immortal disciples?"
Sister Su still shook her head, "There can only be one disciple in a village. Apart from me, there should be no other disciples."
After learning these two pieces of information, I hummed and said, "Let's go into the village and have a look. You can see where your family's house was and maybe your relatives."
Sister Su nodded with complicated eyes and took the initiative to walk in front of us to lead the way.
"Beep, bab, bab..."
"Didi da da..."
As a result, as soon as we entered the village, we heard strange singing and the playing of various musical instruments from the village, which was very lively.
Um?
I immediately stopped, turned around and said to the three of them, "Something is happening in the village, but I don't know yet whether it's people or ghosts."
"Brother Ziwei, it's definitely not ghosts. There is no yin energy in the village, and the musical instruments are not loudspeakers. Besides, ghosts won't be so lively."
Ao San said quickly.
Makes sense.
Ao San, a disciple of Maoshan, should know best about how ghosts work.
When he and Bai Yuniang teamed up to use the red and white demons, I only heard the sound and a weird atmosphere.
"Perhaps there is something big going on in the village. You see, every house has lanterns lit only at the door, and only the lights in the middle of the village are the brightest."
Yang Ying also followed suit.
I hummed and said, "It's right to be more careful. If Zhaojiagou wasn't evil, there wouldn't be so many illegal car drivers who wouldn't dare to come."
"That should be the custom in our village, the lantern dance."
At this time, Sister Su spoke.
Lantern dance?
Hearing Sister Su's words, I quickly asked what the lantern dancing show was?
Sister Su said, "I thought such an old custom had disappeared long ago, but I didn't expect it still exists now."
The so-called lantern dancing show is a long-standing custom in Zhaojiagou, for worshiping ancestors and praying for blessings.
Whenever there is a lantern dance show, everyone will gather in the open space in front of the ancestral hall in the middle of the village.
Everyone put up lanterns together, killed cows, sheep, and pigs, then danced and sang around the lanterns, and had dinner and drinks at midnight.
"Is there still such an activity?"
This is the first time I have heard of such a custom.
Sister Su hummed and continued, "In the beginning, the lantern dancing performance was indeed for worshiping ancestors and praying for blessings, but later some changes also occurred."
What changes, I ask?
Sister Su said that at that time, life was difficult for every family and they were all poor. Even when it was time to get married, many families could not afford to set up a banquet. Therefore, several families often did not set up a banquet when they got married and waited until the lantern dance performance.
When the time comes, everyone pools money together to set up a banquet.
Therefore, the lantern dance show gradually became a wedding banquet hosted by several families, and it was the most lively event in Zhaojiagou.
After hearing this, I couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
It seems that very early on, our ancestors knew that it was the cheapest to hold a collective wedding.
"Let's go, let me take you to see it."
After Sister Su finished speaking, she walked towards the village ancestral hall.
The closer you get, the louder the excitement becomes.
"By the way, I forgot to remind you."
When we were about to reach the ancestral hall, Sister Su stopped and told us again.
"What's wrong?"
I asked.
Sister Su said: "Our villagers in Zhaojiagou are very hospitable. If outsiders catch up with the lantern dance show, they just need to say a few words of blessing and they will be invited to a banquet."
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will still say our blessings."
Sister Su shook her head and said: "The lantern dance is actually more than just ancestor worship and collective wedding banquet. Many young people will also take the opportunity to secretly go on blind dates. There are few people in the village, so don't drink other people's toasts at will."
Ao San and Yang Ying both seemed to understand.
When I heard this, I was really shocked. I remembered what the driver of the black car had said!
