In ancient times, it was made at sunrise and rested at sunset. It had no specific function of telling time, so it got the name of watchman.
The first update of Xu Shi: The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful about the fire.
Second update at Hai hour: Close the doors and windows to prevent theft and theft.
The third update of Zishi: All is well.
The fourth update of Chou Time: It’s freezing cold.
Fifth update of Yinshi: Take care of yourself.

Depending on the time, the message that the watcher has to recite will be different.
It is also said that if the gong is loud and clear, it is like a bright light. If it is sounded at night, there will be no taboos.
As the saying goes, when the local official pardons sins, Qiqi will be reborn.
Kong Sang walked slowly towards the entrance archway of Wenwan Street step by step.
It was just after midnight in the morning, corresponding to the third watch of midnight, so it is correct to recite "Peace and Nothing Happens".
The sound of the gong was loud and loud, even more like an echo in the silent streets.
But what was surprising was that no one in the shops on both sides woke up.
It was as if there was only Kong Sang in Wenwan Street. Under the night, there was an indescribable coldness and silence.
As time passed by, a burst of white mist suddenly appeared in the quiet Wenwan Street.
The white mist condenses and never disperses, like rolling waves, constantly coming from the darkness in the distance.

Kong Sang swallowed and stopped, only to see that the white fog was getting thicker and thicker, coming from all directions, covering the surrounding streets and alleys.
"Huh... the officials of heaven grant blessings, the officials of earth pardon sins, and the officials of water relieve misfortunes."
There are words in Kongsang's mouth, and these three words of blessing correspond to the high-ranking Taoist immortals - the Three Officials.
On the Shangyuan Festival, the heavenly officials give blessings and receive heavenly wealth.
On the Ghost Festival, local officials pardon sins and forgive evil.
During the Xiayuan Festival, Shuiguan relieves misfortunes and prays for blessings and disaster relief.
In the white mist, there seemed to be bursts of crying sounds.
Kong Sang was suspicious and afraid, but saw a figure walking out slowly.
He was a childish, inexperienced boy, and he seemed to be wearing the uniform of a high school.
The boy suddenly raised his head:

"Ahhhhh!"
Kong Sang screamed, only to see that the boy's face was bloody and bloody, but from a faint look, he seemed to be very delicate.
"You, are you a human or a ghost?"
In panic, Kongsang asked nonsense.
The boy was still crying, his eyes full of grievance, resentment, and unwillingness.
The bloody tears fell from the corners of his eyes and stained the school uniform.
Just like ink soaked into rice paper, little bits of blood and tears quickly dyed half of the school uniform red.
Seeing that the boy's footsteps had not stopped, he was covered by thick fog again, and he didn't know if something weirder would happen if he entered.
Kong Sang took a deep breath and struck the bronze gong hard!
"clang!"

The sound waves were like thunder, and the boy's body shook violently and twisted like smoke.
Immediately, there was a sharp and ear-piercing sound that stung Kongsang's eardrums, like the boy's painful wail.
Just when the boy's body was about to dissipate, a golden light suddenly flashed across his body. The golden light was so majestic and vast that it restored the boy's body to its original state.
Kong Sang's pupils shrank, the bronze gong obviously worked, but the other party seemed to be protected by something!
Suddenly, Kong Sang felt a stinging pain under his feet. When he looked down, he saw blood stains on his feet!
The blood continued to condense, and finally converged into four words - Haichi Garden.
Immediately afterwards, the boy disappeared and the thick fog dissipated.
At this moment, the feeling of deathly silence and coldness all around disappeared instantly.
Kong Sang didn't know why, so he looked at the time and struck the gong again: "It's three o'clock at midnight, everything is fine!"
"clang!"

"clang!"
"You're crazy, who can't open their eyes and bang the gong at night?"
A woman immediately opened the window, pointed out the window and cursed.
"That's right, if nothing happens, I'll hammer his head open!"
The corner of Kong Sang's mouth twitched, it seemed that tonight should be truly peaceful.
I hurried back to the store, washed up and went to bed. I had a good night's sleep.
The next day, after much thought, Kong Sang sent a message to Boss Zheng, saying that he had to take a rest today.
It took almost a second to reply and received a dog head with an OK gesture.
...
I have to say that the map software is quite powerful.

Kong Sang quickly found the address of the Haichi Garden.
At the door, the security guard naturally stopped Kong Sang, who had an unfamiliar face. He let Kong Sang say whatever he wanted, but refused to let him in.
"Let me tell you, young man. Even if you say you are here to see your classmates or something, I can't let you in. The community is not peaceful at this time. If I let you, a stranger..."
Before he finished speaking, Kong Sang trotted all the way to the convenience store next door.
As soon as he got to work yesterday, Boss Zheng generously transferred his salary for that month, which also made him feel a little relieved.
"Boss, give it to Bao Huazi."
Immediately, Kong Sang trotted back to the security room.
The security guard took Hua Zi with a smile: "Young man is very sensible. It seems that you are not a bad person. Come in."
"..." Kong Sang curled his lips, but quickly captured a detail just now, and said: "Master, you just said that the community is not peaceful, what happened?"
"Well, it's quite sad to say that. There is a boy named Zhou Hui in this community. He is a freshman at Shangjing No. 1 High School. He suddenly jumped off the building a few days ago for some unknown reason."
ID card-563743675
"You see, our small high-rise building has about 20 floors. The boy's jump was naturally terrible. But because he jumped from the building, the surveillance camera saw no one else around him, so the police quickly closed the case."
"Children today are probably under a lot of pressure to study, and the school doesn't know how to help with adjustments. It's pitiful."
Boys, high school students, jumping off buildings, Haichi Garden...
Kong Sang thought for a while and lied: "What a coincidence? He and I are from the same school. This is too pitiful. Master, I want to go see his family, I don't know..."
"Oh, it's 302 on the twelfth floor. Now, after registering, you can go in."
"Hey, thank you so much, master."
Kong Sang followed the security guard's guidance and came downstairs.
"I hope I came right."
When I came to the door, I heard a fierce quarrel inside.
"You bastards, get out of here!"
Discussion group 56 ③ ⑦ four three Lu Qi Wu
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was opened, and the two men were kicked out by a middle-aged woman with a little embarrassment.
"Auntie, we didn't mean that..."
"Get out of here, my son is dead, why are you talking nonsense here? If you don't leave, I will call the police!"
While he was cursing, he saw Kong Sang beside him.
Kong Sang quickly said:
"Auntie, I am Zhou Hui's friend. I came here today specifically to see you."
When she heard that she was a classmate, the woman's face looked better.
"That's it, please come in."
Kong Sang walked in, and immediately the security door slammed shut.
Only the two of them were left looking at each other outside the door.

"What should I do?" one of them wearing glasses asked.
"It's normal for family members to be emotional. It's also our fault for being too impatient. Let's wait downstairs first. Maybe we can ask Zhou Hui's classmate."
Inside the house:
The woman looked for a cup in a daze and made a cup of tea.
"Sorry, I haven't done much to clean up these days, so the house is a bit messy."
"You're welcome, Auntie."
The two of them were sitting on the sofa.
"Auntie, Zhou Hui and I met when they visited the university. We didn't have close contact before, but we suddenly heard about it a few days ago... I want to know, how could it be so sudden?"
When the woman heard this, her eyes immediately turned red.
"Thank you for coming to see Xiaohui. This child is usually taciturn. His father left early, and I worked hard to raise him by myself."

"This kid is very sensible and never gives me any trouble."
"That day, he was at home just like any other day off, quietly doing his homework. He just said he wanted to go out for some exercise, so I didn't think much about it, ugh..."
Kong Sang quickly took out the tissue and handed it to the woman, comforting him and saying, "Auntie, I know nothing I say will help. I, I'll give him some incense, and we can be considered friends."
The woman smiled sadly and wiped her tears:
"Okay, okay, it's been so long since Xiaohui's accident, and none of his classmates have been here. Xiaohui would be very happy if he knew you had seen him."
In front of the shrine, a black and white photo of the deceased was placed there.
The boy was a little shy, and his smile was a little stiff even when facing the camera.
But Kong Sang knew that he had come to the right place. Because in the thick fog, the boy who guided him here was exactly the same as in the photo.
The deceased was the oldest, so Kong Sang solemnly took the incense and inserted it into the incense burner respectfully.
Turning his eyes, he saw a statue of a god placed next to Zhou Hui's photo.
Kou Kou Wu Liu ③ ⑦ Four Three Lu Qi Wu
When Kong Sang took a closer look, his hands were shaking, because the statue depicted was very similar to the ghost in the dream, especially the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva on the head of the ghost, which was exactly the same!
As his thoughts turned around, Kong Sang realized that the arrangement of the entire shrine seemed very strange.
Whether it is a religious ceremony or a daily funeral, the photo of the deceased cannot be placed together with the statue of the god.
But now they are not only placed together, but white wine and rice are also offered between them, and white prayer flags are placed.
The weirdest thing is that there is a red wire connecting the two.
That red line is not the true red used to seek marriage in the Yuelao Temple, but a dark red, which is the color left after blood dries.
"Auntie, what is this statue? I have never seen it in the temple or in the temple."
"Oh, this statue was passed down from my grandmother's generation. It seems to be called Mianran Master. Because it is an old object, a statue, and the instructions of the elders, we have been offering it."
Kong Sang nodded, but didn't say anything else. He chatted with the woman for a while, and after understanding Zhou Hui's daily life, he left.
"Auntie, I'm leaving then."

Kong Sang walked down the stairs, and when he subconsciously looked up, he saw that the woman did not close the door, but showed a smile to say goodbye.
However, that smile made Kong Sang feel a little cold.
After going downstairs, the two men who were kicked out earlier immediately surrounded him.
"Hello, are you Zhou Hui's friend? We want to know about Zhou Hui's situation with you."
Kong Sang looked at the two of them doubtfully, thinking that they didn't look like police officers.
"What do you want to know?"
"Excuse me, how did Zhou Hui die?!"
"Excuse me, is Zhou Hui really dead?!"
.......
Kong Sang finally knew why these two people were kicked out.

Is there something wrong with these two people?
According to anecdotal and unofficial records, the vocabulary recited by watchmen when working in ancient times was actually not very fixed. The saying "Heaven is dry and things are dry" is more familiar to everyone because it appears more in movies and TV dramas.
.But the job of the clock watcher in the past was mainly to register the time for the general public, and to remind the poor people to pay attention to safety, so the language recited mostly contained some very simple blessing words!
