Anyue's explanation was simple and straightforward. She was also a village official after all, and it was not convenient for her to get involved in such matters publicly.
If the superiors find out, they may be dragged out of their hair, criticized for being lax in governing the village, supporting superstitious activities, etc.
"Oh, there are so many twists and turns!" Niu Xiaotian roughly understood, then scratched his head and said, "But you do know!"
"Idiot, when I have an excuse, I will say that it is not appropriate to interfere with the villagers' self-initiated prayer activities for the smooth progress of the factory construction." An Yue said plausibly.
"clever!"
Niu Xiaotian gave a thumbs up, but An Yue curled her lips and said somewhat helplessly: "Fooling around with you makes me lose my principles."
"Hey, it's all for the development of Xingwang Village!" Niu Xiaotian chuckled.
In the early morning, it rained lightly.
After the rain, the sky clears up, the sun is high in the sky, the sky is clear, and the water vapor quickly evaporates.
In the gentle breeze, with a hint of sweetness, Niu Xiaotian put on an expensive suit, fixed his hair, applied some of Anyue's usual conditioner, took the kang table and other ritual supplies, and set off on a motorcycle.
Clattering sound.
It was just half past eight.
At the construction site, hundreds of villagers, mostly women, had gathered to watch the excitement. Some people were noisy, and some were making scissor hands gestures and taking photos with the bulldozer.
When An Yue didn't come, Lin Dahai played his role and walked around with Accountant Liu holding his waist with one hand to help maintain order at the scene.
The construction workers were holding cigarettes in their mouths and standing with their arms folded at a distance, as if it had nothing to do with them. They were just passers-by near Xingwang Village.
Niu Xiaotian was undoubtedly the focus of the day. As soon as he stopped his motorcycle, the crowd immediately gathered around him.
"Xiaotian, did you arrange the rain this morning?" a village woman asked jokingly.
"Awesome, you even know this!" Niu Xiaotian praised, proudly puffing out his chest and continuing to brag, "I also arranged for good weather today. After the rain, the sun is shining and the wind is calm, which is perfect for summoning the earth god."
"Xiaotian, please make arrangements for me to go into the mountains and pick up treasures next time." A middle-aged man came over with a smile on his face.
"Okay, how about taking a wife with you?" Niu Xiaotian smirked.
"That's great, we'll have a second room in the future!" the middle-aged man took over.
"I'm busy!" someone shouted.
"How come you have such a strong waist?" The middle-aged man patted both sides of his body proudly.
The crowd burst into laughter, and then the middle-aged man was viciously grabbed by his ears by his wife, dragging him out of the crowd and begging for mercy happily.
Lin Ying is here, probably because he has nothing to do.
Of course she would not mix with the village women, standing far away, lowering her head and fiddling with her mobile phone.
Kan Xiuxiu also came, her hair was combed and she had changed into clean clothes, and she was very quiet.
Kan Fangshan has long declared to the outside world that his daughter's illness is cured, and if anyone continues to be careless, don't blame him for being angry.
Therefore, no one dared to make fun of Kan Xiuxiu.
After joking with the villagers for a while, Niu Xiaotian asked everyone to disperse and immediately prepared to start the altar.
Asking Accountant Liu and others to help carry the materials needed for the work, Niu Xiaotian walked to the center of the construction site with arrogant steps and slowly climbed onto the three-meter-six-meter high platform.
Above, there is an earth platform of 1.8 meters in length and width, which is very flat and solid.
Niu Xiaotian placed the Kang table firmly on it, covered it with a white cloth, and placed the incense burner, water bowl, piece of cooked meat, yellow paper, peach wood sword, etc. in order.
There is also a small bag of black beans, cinnabar, writing brush, ink, mineral water, etc., put aside.
Then, Niu Xiaotian stood with his feet spread apart, facing north and south, looking up at the sky, motionless, like a petrified sculpture.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn and solemn, and the aloof Niu Xiaotian immediately transformed into a young mage with an aura of great aura!
If An Yue were here, she would definitely blame Niu Xiaotian for being mysterious and try her best to get it over with.
The common people don't think so, they think it's just a good idea, and it's just fooling if it's simple.
So, everyone gathered around and stood not far in front. No one was making any noise, and they didn't even dare to breathe.
In fact, Niu Xiaotian was just blinded by the gust of wind just now, and he was blinking, trying to get the sand out as soon as possible!
The sand was washed out with tears. Niu Xiaotian looked at his watch. It was nine o'clock and it could officially start.
There is no Taoist robe and no whisk, but this does not affect the effect of the practice.
It is clearly recorded in "Ling Wen Dao Fa" that when starting work, one should worship the God of the Earth to bless safety and success.
To put it simply, when construction is started on someone else's property and all kinds of noises are made, even if it is out of politeness, you should say hello politely to avoid blaming the owner.
Filling the bowl with clear mineral water, Niu Xiaotian picked up the mahogany sword and dipped it in the water bowl. Then he carved the word "Kui Gang" under his feet and stepped on it with both feet.
After putting incense and lighting it, Niu Xiaotian held the mahogany sword between his hands and began to bow solemnly three times.
At the same time, recite the mantra to invite the gods:
Taiyi Lingyang, with its brilliant purple energy, sets up a table to burn incense, flies to the four directions, is the god of the earth, senses all things, protects the carriages and horses, and ensures good health for all...
Hey, a village woman looked at Xuanhu and couldn't help but grinned. The people around her immediately stared and covered their mouths.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and there was a roaring sound, and a burst of earth mist instantly rose above the ground.
And these black and yellow soil mist actually quickly surrounded the altar, forming a vortex that kept spinning and rising upward.
so amazing!
The land father-in-law has arrived!
Niu Xiaotian can be called Master Niu, and he actually invited the God of Earth.
The people were stunned and secretly admired him, but Niu Xiaotian smelled the fishy smell in the gust of wind and couldn't help but frowned.
There must be a mage nearby, deliberately causing trouble!
It’s so abominable!
Reciting the wind-breathing spell, Niu Xiaotian grabbed a handful of black beans and threw them around.
As the black beans fell, the rising soil fog was immediately suppressed.
However, these soil mist turned into dozens of small whirlwinds, which continued to rotate rapidly around the altar.
According to legend, such whirlwinds are formed by the souls of innocent people.
Niu Xiaotian also seemed to hear the whimpering sound of a ghost in his ears. The mage was still trying to influence his mind and wanted him to be embarrassed in front of everyone.
Continuing to recite the mantra, Niu Xiaotian threw the black beans again. It took half a minute for the small whirlwind to disappear completely.
The ceremony is not over yet, the mage will not give up easily!
"Yingzi, Xiuxiu, you two come here quickly!" Niu Xiaotian shouted.
It is recorded in the book that the perfect woman standing under the altar can prevent the invasion of evil winds and uphold the truth to protect the law. In critical moments, Niu Xiaotian has no choice.
