[Chapter 113] Zhongyuan Ghost Festival

Seeing our disdainful and sarcastic looks, Xiao Sheng actually calmed down.

"It is indeed unbelievable, but it is a fact! Let me tell you first. If you still don't believe it, you can go in and see for yourself!" Xiao Sheng told us seriously:

The Dragon King Temple is just opposite the old county government office. There was no temple before. There was just a hole in the ground the size of the Eight Immortals' Table. It was cold and dark, and I don't know how deep it was.

Normally, that hole doesn't have a big impact on the people around it, but during the three days of Qingming, Zhongyuan and Hanyi, it's terrible. There will always be people who throw themselves into the trap for no apparent reason and jump out of nowhere.

Entering that unfathomable hole made the people around him stay away from that area, including those who complained about injustice, etc., and they also actively avoided it for three days.

The customs and habits in our place may be similar to those in other places. Tomb Sweeping Festival, Tomb Sweeping Festival, and October 1st, burning cold clothes. These two ghost festivals are not too serious, but the most terrifying one is the Ghost Festival.

The Ghost Festival is the fifteenth day of the seventh month in the lunar calendar. It is originally a day for people to worship their ancestors. This day is also the day when hell opens. It is the most important of the three major Hades festivals here.

As soon as the Hungry Ghost Festival arrived, the entrance to the cave seemed to be more lively than the temple fair. There was no one nearby, but people and horses were shouting happily, scaring the people around them and trying to avoid it.

The excitement is a trivial matter, but more importantly, every year during the Ghost Festival, there are always more people nearby rushing into the cave for no apparent reason, as if possessed by evil spirits.

Later, a Taoist priest gave advice to the county magistrate, saying that the entrance to the cave was the gateway to the underworld in the world of hell. During the Ghost Festival, there would always be souls of evil ghosts, and without anyone to offer sacrifices, it would inevitably cause harm to living beings.

Therefore, it is best for the county government to come forward and conduct public sacrifices to protect the safety of one party!

The county magistrate was quite open-minded and readily accepted the suggestion. Every year on the Hungry Ghost Festival, the officials would arrange for the officials to place three animal sacrifices to honor the homeless ghosts and ghosts who had no one to offer sacrifices.

The evil spirit wronged the spirit.

It is strange to say that since the public sacrifice, except for the Ghost Festival of the Ghost Festival, there have been no strange things that hurt people's lives on other days, including Qingming and Hanyi Day. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and the enlightened county magistrate Ren

Man Tiaoli, the new transfer is a middle-aged man, he doesn’t believe in that at all!

On the Ghost Festival of July 15th of that year, although the government officials repeatedly suggested to the new magistrate to abide by the old rules and perform sacrifices, the magistrate refused to allow it. What could a small hole in the ground do?

What's the big deal about magical powers? If it also needs to be sacrificed, do I, the magistrate, have to kneel down and worship all the pits and pits in the future? How unbecoming! If it really dares to cause trouble, I will order it to be sealed!

On the day of the Ghost Festival, no sacrificial activities were held, but nothing strange happened. The master and the government officials also breathed a sigh of relief, secretly admiring the courage and courage of the county magistrate!

What is unexpected is that it is calm during the day, but at night, the wind is wailing, mixed with cries like a stormy sea, like ghosts crying and wolves howling, making people around panic.

The magistrate was greatly puzzled, thinking that someone was playing tricks on him, so he had to go to the cave opposite to see what was going on! The master and the government officials tried to dissuade him in vain, so they had no choice but to accompany him.

After leaving the Yamen, everyone was so frightened that they lost their minds.

During the Ghost Festival, just a moment ago there was a clear breeze and bright moon, just like daytime, but now there is rolling sand, dark winds, branches dancing wildly, and passers-by running wildly.

"Sir, sir, we, let's go back quickly!" The master was so frightened that his face turned pale and he started to tremble.

"That's nonsense! The moon is full and the moon is waxing and waning, wind, thunder and lightning are created by nature, so why should we fear it? All government officials, come with this county to see what happens! If there is really any evil spirit that blames Yama Xiaoban, this county should argue with it.

, If you eat people, I will never harm you and everyone else!" The magistrate was so proud that he took the lead and walked in the direction of the cave with his head held high.

The master and all the officials were afraid to move forward because of their numbness, but when they saw the county magistrate talking about this and taking the lead, they had no choice but to pray secretly in their hearts that all kinds of immortals, Buddhas and gods would bless the villain and be safe.

One side followed closely.

When we were about ten feet away from the cave, we saw that the wind was getting louder, the cold air was getting stronger, and the moon had already penetrated into the clouds. There was a faint sound of whimpering coming from the front, and the master and all the government officials had their legs crossed.

I was shaking so badly that it felt like a huge boulder had fallen on my feet, and I couldn't move forward.

"Hurry! Come back quickly, sir!" The master screamed as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

"What's going on?" When the magistrate heard the master's voice, he felt that something was wrong, and quickly turned around and backed away, coming to the master's side.

At this moment, in the cave in front, a black smoke rose into the sky and shot straight into the sky. The surrounding area immediately became gloomy and cold, like a giant mouth of a monster, producing great swallowing power.

A government servant who was walking at the front couldn't hold his feet and rushed over with a scream. In full view of everyone, he jumped into the hole in the ground.

The master and other government officials were too frightened to care about the county magistrate. They all ran away with their heads in their hands and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye!

Seeing everyone fleeing in all directions, and the strange and terrifying scene ahead, the magistrate's scalp went numb, and he turned around and ran towards the county government office without caring about anything dignified or disrespectful.

The next day, the magistrate faced the master and all the government servants. He first made a heartbreaking review, saying that it was due to his ignorance and rash actions that a government servant was injured in the cave!

The master and the other government officials were ashamed and afraid because they did not care about the safety of the county magistrate and escaped from the battle last night, so they did not dare to say anything.

"Everyone, thank you for your warning in advance, especially Mr. Master's life-saving grace last night. This county has thanked you all." The county magistrate changed the subject, "However, under the rule of this county, how can we tolerate a strange hole that poisons all living beings?"

, harming the people? Now that the Ghost Festival of the Ghost Festival has passed, and the sky is clear and the sun is bright again, it is your duty to eliminate harm for the people! If it doesn’t work, you have to fill up the hole with earth and rocks!"

"Sir, you can't do it! Do you still remember what happened in the Song Dynasty? Hong Taiwei, Hong Xin, forced the abbot to open the "Devil-Subduing Palace" where the Tang Dynasty Dongxuan Guoshi had blocked the demon king in Longhu Mountain, Jiangxi Province. As a result,

Let go of the thirty-six Tiangang stars and the seventy-two evil stars that were suppressed in the palace! The "Palace of Demon Subjugation" is just like this, a dark cave of ten thousand feet! We must not make the same mistake again." The master said bitterly

persuade.

"Haha, Master, you're wrong! The demon-suppressing palace in the Song Dynasty was originally harmless to all living beings, but this underground cave poisoned living beings and harmed the people. It is really abominable. Last night, they killed one of my yamen servants. If you don't take revenge,
Chapter completed!
