Fang Zheng had no doubts about Lone Wolf's words. Although Lone Wolf was often unreliable, he would not lie to Fang Zheng.
Lone Wolf continued: "Master, look, you haven't eaten enough, and I haven't eaten enough either. How about I go get some and we'll be at the bottom?"
Fang Zheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Even if someone has a lot of money, he has no obligation to entertain you for free. Being entertained is a favor. How can one feel resentful because he has extra food and doesn't entertain enough? Let's not even think about stealing things in the middle of the night!
"
After being scolded by Fang Zheng, Lone Wolf clicked his tongue without saying a word. After a while, he still asked without giving up: "Master, that's what you said, and I understand the truth. But this hunger is also true.
Ah...forget it, just be hungry if you are hungry, then you are not curious, why does she get so many delicious things?"
This question touched on a key point. Although Fang Zheng was not going to steal things, he was still curious. It must be unusual for a Taoist temple to suddenly cook so many delicious food. Could it be that she wanted to entertain guests? No,
Qingjing Sanren said that there are basically no visitors here. Even if there are people passing by, there are tea, tables and chairs at the door. There is no need to enter the Taoist temple, just eat and drink at the door and leave on your own.
This is also the practice of many Taoist temples, and the optimistic people also do this in order to avoid worldly karma and avoid contact with outsiders.
And how could such a person entertain a banquet with guests?
Just when Fangzheng was curious, there was suddenly a sound of footsteps and the sound of moving things.
After Lone Wolf and Fang Zheng looked at each other, they immediately went to the window and looked outside. They happened to see Qingjing San people carrying a long table and placing it in the yard. Then they took off a red cloth from their left arm.
It was originally folded and tied to her arm, but now after taking it off and opening it, Fang Zheng estimated that the cloth was nearly one and a half meters long and eighty centimeters wide. The red edge and the black edge of about ten centimeters were very conspicuous.
What's even more strange is that Qingjing Sanren didn't open it completely, but opened it halfway and draped it on the table.
Seeing this, the lone wolf couldn't help it anymore. He swept his tail against Fang Zheng's thigh and asked, "Master, is she too picky? She couldn't even bear to open the entire red cloth and only used half of it."
Fang Zheng gave him a slap in the face to make him quiet, and then whispered: "What do you know? This is a Taoist rule! It is equivalent to a Buddhist rule. Fully opening the rule means supreme respect, while half-opening means respecting gods.
, the admiration of the immortals.”
When Lone Wolf heard this, he lowered his voice and exclaimed: "Is there any god in this Taoist temple?"
Lone Wolf is not that fussed. In his opinion, Fang Zheng can raise a monster as a boy, and it is understandable that there are gods in other places.
Fang Zheng didn't think so. He had already confirmed from Hong Hai'er and the system that there were no demons and monsters in this world. And what was the reason why Qingjing Sanren did this...
Fang Zheng silently took out his mobile phone and checked the lunar calendar date. Upon seeing this, Fang Zheng suddenly realized and said: "I see, I didn't expect that today is the Xiayuan Festival."
"Xiayuan Festival?" Lone Wolf's eyes suddenly lit up. He had celebrated the Shangyuan Festival and the Hungry Ghost Festival, and now he finally encountered the Xiayuan Festival. His first impression was that there must be something to eat during the festival.
Fang Zheng knew his disciples so well that he only had food left in his mind. However, he patiently explained: "The Upper, Middle and Lower Three Yuan Festivals are all ghost festivals in China. However, the Xiayuan Festival and the other two
This festival is slightly different. It is a pure, indigenous festival driven by Taoism.
There are three officials in Taoism, the Heavenly Official, the Earth Official, and the Shuiguan. It is said that the Heavenly Official confers blessings, the Earth Official forgives sins, and the Shuiguan relieves misfortune. The Xiayuan Festival is the day when the Shuiguan relieves misfortunes and the Yanggu Emperor relieves misfortune. It is commonly known as this day.
According to the investigation, the Shuiguan recorded the report to the Heavenly Court to relieve people's misfortunes." On this day, Taoist temples serve as dojos, and the people worship the souls of the dead and pray to the Yuan Shuiguan to solve their problems. In ancient times, some imperial courts banned slaughter and postponed the execution date of the death penalty.
Regulation.
But today, fewer and fewer people celebrate the Xiyuan Festival. This ancient culture is also dying out at an accelerating rate. Even Yizhi Temple rarely celebrates this festival. I didn’t expect to see it here."
The lone wolf seemed to understand what he heard. After all, he had never been exposed to Taoism. The lone wolf could not understand what the blessing of the heavenly official meant. He kept staring at the pure Sanren in the yard...
At this time, Qingjing Sanren took out another piece of cloth, walked out of the yard, and hung it on a flagpole at the door! Lone Wolf looked up and saw four big characters written on it: "The country is peaceful and the people are safe"!
Lone Wolf looked at Fang Zheng subconsciously, and Fang Zheng said: "This is a method often used by Taoists in ancient times. It is also a way of praying during the Xiayuan Festival. The words on the flag are not static, but generally they are "
The blessing words "Heaven, Earth, Water," "Good weather," "Guotai Minan" and other blessing words are for the water officials who come down from the sky to see. However, this custom has basically disappeared today. Unexpectedly, Qingjing San people still use it, and they directly display the words "Guotai Minan".
Pray for the world. Qingjing Sanren’s mind is really not that big.”
When Lone Wolf heard this, he chuckled and said, "I don't know if I have a big heart or not, but my breasts are really big. If she gives birth to a child, she will definitely not starve to death. She can raise ten or eight without any problem."
When Fang Zheng heard this, his old face turned red, he raised his hand and slapped him. This slap was a bit harsh, and the lone wolf flew out with a snarl, hit the wall with a snap, and then slowly slid down.
After landing on the ground, Lone Wolf said with an aggrieved face: "Master, why did you hit me?"
Fang Zheng snorted coldly and said: "Stay away from the pure heart from now on. If you don't learn from the good ones, you will learn a lot from the gangsters."
"Master, this is not what Jingxin said." Lone Wolf said.
Fang Zheng was stunned. Who else but Jing Xin would study these messy things every day?
Lone Wolf continued: "That's what Xianyu said. He has been learning how to use a mobile phone from Jing Xin recently. He surfs the Internet every day and doesn't know what he is reading." At this point, Lone Wolf came over to him and whispered:
"Master, I suspect that Xianyu is obsessed with gambling!"
"What?" Fang Zheng was shocked when he heard this! It's not that he was worried that Xianyu would be deceived, but that he was afraid that this guy would learn bad things and go out to trick people!
Fang Zheng tried to calm down and asked, "How did you know?"
Lone Wolf whispered: "I went out for a walk that day and saw Xianyu playing with his mobile phone. At the same time, there was a message from the mobile phone: "Macau's first online casino is online or something. As soon as he saw me, he closed it immediately.
Cell phone. Seeing as he is acting very thiefly and sneaky, there must be something wrong."
When Fang Zheng heard this, he said solemnly: "Does anyone else know about this?"
