Liu Xiaoyong is a college student or a fat man - the two are not contradictory.

His hometown is in Yangcheng, and he also studied in a university in Yangcheng. The school was only five stops away from home, and he had never walked 300 kilometers away in his half of his life.

Like many fat guys, his biggest hobby is watching anime, playing games, and being in the middle. He learned from his teacher when he was in school, and also from his teacher during holidays. He learned from his (defense of harmony) casino online; he learned in an easy-to-understand manner and worked hard; he learned eight hundred models running to the north slope, and the infantry even touched the cavalry...

I haven't fallen in love yet at the age of 20. The only reason for buying a box of condoms is probably, well, curious.

"Oh, another short life is over, so boring..."

That night, Liu Xiaoyong held a bucket of turkey noodles and finished the new anime, and couldn't help feeling a little lost. It's like this every time. Every time he just fell in love with a heroine of an anime, he had to say goodbye to him.

He shook his head and stood up rare. He threw away the noodle bucket by himself. He took a dozen Vita lemon tea and sat back on the dragon chaise. He followed it back to the homepage of B station. After refreshing, huh?

It was very surprising that the big picture on the home page was temporarily replaced, and five pictures turned into one, and a line of big words on it: Congratulations on the move, you don’t understand the world of the second dimension!

The picture shows a bearded uncle wearing a Taoist robe, looking down at the camera.

What the hell?

Liu Xiaoyong clicked in casually. The video was long, about half an hour, and the barrage was already full. Wuyang and Wuyang dominated the screen. He simply turned it off first and only watched the content. It was not funny or hype, but it was really a Taoist priest's way.

The location seemed to be at the entrance of the new office building, with three animals, four fruits and three high incense sticks. More than a dozen people were divided into two rows and kneeling on the left and right, and the uncle stood in the middle and made gestures.

Maybe I've worn the wheat and heard it clearly:

"The Supreme Stage Spirit, the faint light is refreshing, protecting my body, and responding without stopping. The divine light is bright, the sky is mysterious, the earth is dark, the cave is clear, the five elements, the three illusions, I am bowing now, the treasure Taoist master's scripture..."

Damn it!

Liu Xiaoyong was stunned. He didn't understand very well, but he could vaguely figure it out that this seemed to be a spell to drive away evil spirits in the clean room. Just say it serious, you can be funny; say it's bullshit, but everyone's expression is solemn and his posture is pious.

The barrage is even more dramatic:

"In the future, just add some yellow talisman paper on the barrage."

"Liuliu, just kill a programmer to sacrifice to heaven!"

"Suppress ghosts (defend harmonious animals) and follow nature."

"It's considered as a way to hire a Taoist priest..."

"The last time I saw this scene, I was in Chechi Country, but there were three Taoist priests at that time..."

Hahaha! Liu Xiaoyong loved these guys so much that he pressed the keyboard for a moment, and followed one: "Heavenly and the earthly and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television will do it!"

After posting this barrage, this matter was considered to be overturned. But he took a casual look and said, "Hey, the video has been more than half an hour. Could it be that it was all done by Taoist priests?"

Liu Xiaoyong held down the drag bar and pulled it back. After about twenty minutes, the content changed, but it was in the celebrity reception room of B station B. The uncle was being interviewed.

"Master Chen, the previous two days was July 15th. As the saying goes, the Ghost Gate is open on the Zhongyuan Festival. Then tell me, are there any ghosts in this world?"

"I don't have a simple answer to this. First of all, I want to tell you one thing, fear comes from the unknown. When you have some understanding of a thing, you will feel much more relaxed..."

The Taoist poses a very handsome figure and has a unique level of character. "According to our Taoist concepts, there are ghosts in this world. But this kind of ghost is not as described in movies and TV dramas or novels, with green faces and fangs, and many evil deeds, without a trace.

Taoism believes that all things in the world are born of Tao. You can understand this Tao as qi. All things in the world are born of qi, and the same is true for ghosts.

When a person dies, his energy cannot be condensed and will separate and dissipate. Some energy disappears directly from the world, some combine with other people's energy to form new vitality, and some undergo changes and become animals, or gold, stone, plants and trees..."

He explained it, it was easy to understand and had a novel idea. The barrage became rare for a while, and I don’t know if it was someone who left or if it was mesmerizing.

Then, the host asked again: "Folk legends have stories about ghosts. How can we avoid them if there is ghosts?"

When Liu Xiaoyong heard this, he was immediately focused. Because just two days ago, one of his classmates finished the first seven for grandma, and the good guy suddenly went crazy.

This incident was very big in the class group, saying that he was imprisoned in a mental hospital. Someone at that time decided that this must be a ghost!

"The body of ghosts is a folk rumor. Taoism calls it 'Yang decline and damage, and Yin Qi conflicts'. Ghosts are the yin energy formed by the separation of vitality. Some people have weak constitutions and are in a trance. The yang energy is not sufficient, so they are naturally prone to provoke Yin Qi... Therefore, lay Buddhists with these characteristics recommend more sunlight to strengthen their bodies and willpower. Don't have dark places last year, or touch some unfamiliar objects for a long time. They are likely to be infected by Yin Qi and are harmful to the body."

"Oh, so that's it! You just talked about strengthening your body, and I suddenly remembered that if you know the physical fitness techniques of primary and secondary schools that the country has now implemented, you might as well learn and learn. It is simple and effective. Master Chen, the last question is, can you talk about some related folk customs and some things to pay attention to?" the host asked.

"Yes, folk customs are different, but the more common one is the first seven, which has a very strict set of procedures..."

Hiss!

As Liu Xiaoyong listened, he felt a chill on his back. Something seemed to appear from the corners of the wall, at the base of the window, under the bed at any time. Even his legs under the table were trembling coldly.

He closed the video and walked to the living room with a slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight slight

My parents were watching TV, which was a news program. By chance, the host interviewed a ministerial official and talked about the funeral tradition.

"The Xia Kingdom has a history of 5,000 years and has left many folk traditions. For example, the common people always talk about weddings, weddings and funerals. This rule is very, very high, and has been passed down to this day.

The two days ago was the Zhongyuan Festival. I happened to have a holiday, so I took my family to visit the grave. What I saw and heard along the way, uh, it was actually quite heartbreaking... In fact, the government has advocated the matter of burning paper for many years, and civilized sacrifices are needed. Some places have also proposed the method of changing flowers to paper money, but the actual effect is not optimistic.

It is quite good in the city, but in the vast rural areas, burning paper is quite common. Our experts conducted a survey. During this year's Zhongyuan Festival, the pm2.5 in Beijing soared 15 times in just one day.

You may not know that after a bundle of paper money is burned, about 3 kilograms of carbon dioxide can be produced! At the same time, there are sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, etc., which are particularly polluted to the air.

So we have considered that we should focus on rural areas, gradually and reasonably reduce paper burning behavior, advocate civilized sacrifices and funerals, including Qingming Festival, Zhongyuan, Cold Clothing Festival, and even the first seven..."

"The first seven?" the host interrupted.

"Yes, many people know that this is also a must-burn paper. Let go of feudal superstitions, we respect these traditions, but we must also know that it is urgent to control environmental pollution! Things that have lasted thousands of years cannot be eliminated in one generation, and people's concepts are slowly changing. Perhaps in several generations, we can all give up burning money and choose to use flowers to express our grief..."

Um?

Liu Xiaoyong instantly realized something was wrong with the sensitivity and sharpness of a fat man. He took out his phone and browsed Weibo. Sure enough, he ranked third in the hot search, with two big words, the first seven!

When I clicked in, I saw that some introduced the first seven customs of the local area, some denounced feudal superstitions, and some sweared and said that ghosts were effective... all kinds of things were very lively.

“…”

He blinked, the website, Weibo, TV, and three major platforms, almost capturing audiences from all walks of life. They all showed their power, just for the funeral and the first seven?

He always feels something is wrong, but he can't say it.

"Hey, we haven't burned paper here for a long time, right? I haven't done anything at first. I just remember that I did it for my grandma more than ten years ago, but I haven't seen you since then."

At this moment, my mother suddenly spoke.

"Well, four or five years ago, I have never seen burning paper in the city, but I still have it when I go back to my hometown." Dad said.

"No wonder people prohibit it. Now that the smog is so heavy, it will increase by pm2.5." My mother said.

"It's no wonder! No matter how pollution is in the factory, the general manager is in charge of the trivialities of the people, driving, cooking, and turning on the air conditioner, which all affect the environment. Now even burning paper, if there is a real ghost, I will be the first to catch them!"

ah!

Liu Xiaoyong almost screamed. His father broke the window paper with just one sentence. He tried hard to figure it out: If there was a ghost!

……………………

"Tsk tsk, I admire those who are planning, and their brain circuits are always different from those of ordinary people."

On Phoenix Mountain, Gu Yu finished reading several rounds of news and couldn't help but sigh.

"It's simple and crude, and the government clearly refuses to admit it, but it secretly allows the public to discuss privately, control public opinion and guide the direction by itself, which is an old routine." Xiaozhai shook his head.

"Even if it's an old routine, but people use it well, and the people have this foundation, they naturally need to expand their imagination space..."

Gu Yu smiled and said, "No matter how technology develops, I believe that there are many ghosts. Let the masses figure it out by themselves. This is the most powerful thing. I guess it is just the first step and there will be follow-up actions."

"Second action?"

Chao Kongtu, who had been drinking tea silently, suddenly interrupted and said, "I have some flaws."

"Where did you pick the ingredients?" Xiaojin was curious.

"My master just sent a message saying that there are too many ghosts now and there are serious shortages of manpower, so he asked me to come and help. And there are a group of people under my management, so it is best to quickly implement some ghost-catching techniques."

Chao Kongtu was quite helpless and continued: "Also, the official invited several descendants of Zhengyi from Hong Kong Island and Nanyang, as well as the direct descendants of the Tianshi Mansion who were exiled overseas."

“…”

When Gu Yu and Xiao Zhai heard this, they were both stunned. Is this the meaning of the gods? The government is going to cause trouble!

Xiaojin was quite straightforward and said strangely: "Why are you asking those despicable people to come? Are you spending money to give me a slap in the face?"

"Previously helping catch ghosts, but in fact...haha, it's nothing more than creating momentum to let everyone watch a monkey show, so that they can promote it."

Chao Kongtu put down his cup, and there was a cold feeling in his chuckling.
Chapter completed!
