3.Chapter 3 The fish luring method that began in the Xianqing period of the Tang Dynasty (3)
The sank southeast.
Don't believe in fairies,
The sea is dry and the river is dry.
The fishermen opened their sleepy eyes.
"Adi, come here, who will teach you a song?"
Before he finished speaking, the child shook his head and pointed at the fishermen behind them. The fishermen looked back and found that it was the arrival of "Xi Ci Fairy".
Qiao Wumei's external identity in Guangdong is a family Taoist in the Shangqing School of Maoshan, known as "Xi Ci Xian Gu". Since the late Qing Dynasty, she has been praying for blessings and rains in Guangzhou and Guangxi, which has been fulfilled many times. The Guangzhou magistrate also wrote a plaque for her, saying: "The Taoist law is profound and helps the people in the world; the people have feelings, and have immeasurable merits."
Not far from the beach, there is a big banyan tree with twisted branches circling, flourishing and lush. The oblique branches extend dozens of meters away. The whole tree is like a small forest.
Qiao Wumei came to the banyan tree and hung the red and yellow silk on the tree. The people who accompanied her placed a low incense table under the tree. Qiao Wumei burned three incense sticks and chanted her words.
Afterwards, Qiao Wumei said to the fishermen: "This tree has been occupied by the sea god. You have not done good for a long time. The sea god is furious and recalls all the fish and shrimps to show your power!"
The fishermen said one after another: "Fairy, please help us."
Qiao Wumei said: "No one can help you, only you can help yourself. Donate money to build a Sea God Temple, which will be worshipped every day and incense will keep you safe all seasons."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The fishermen looked at the incense table under the banyan tree and the merit box next to the incense table, and stared quietly in a daze.
At this time, a girl Abao, who pretended to be a kind-hearted person, came over and said, "The Fairy Huici never lies. You have been returning empty-handed these past few months. Why not give it a try. I'll donate some for you first."
As he said that, he threw away some copper plates and oceans in the merit box and wrote down the names of several fishermen on the merit book.
"Whoever donates will benefit you, the name of the Sea God has been recorded. If you go to sea on the fifth day of tomorrow, you will definitely be able to catch fish." said Abao.
At the fifth update of the next day, the fishermen went out to sea half-believingly.
Holding up the boat, the sea breeze blew in the face, and the clear fishing fire appeared and faintly. As soon as the fishermen walked dozens of meters deep into the sea, they found a thick layer of things floating on the sea surface, sparkling and connecting together. They suspected that they had hallucinations, rubbed their eyes, and walked closer, and found that they were all fish, all floating on the water surface, turning their belly, and white under the moonlight!
The fishermen were shocked! They quickly cast the net. In fact, they didn't have to cast the net at all. They just fished it up with the net bag. At first, everyone saw the fish turning their stomachs, and thought it was a dead fish. After they were caught, they found that all the fish could be beaten and moved! The fishermen were so happy that they hurriedly bowed to the depths of the sea.
After dawn, this incident spread and the beach was in full swing. Several fishermen carried baskets of fat fish, and walked along the way, smiling happily, and everyone around them was stunned.
So a large number of fishermen began to donate money frantically, and soon the merit box was full, and later several boxes were placed
