Now that we have met the powerful soldiers and horses, we naturally don't need to trouble the City God anymore.
After Hua Jiunan handed over all the mine boils to the God of Death and asked him to inform the underworld of what happened here, all the "people" said goodbye and left.
Since it was already late at night and the situation was difficult, Chen Daji casually found an empty room in the mine to rest.
I plan to wait until dawn to return to the small courtyard with Chen Fu.
Early the next morning, Hua Jiunan had just gotten up for morning exercises when he heard this benevolent businessman calling him through the window.
"Jiu, Xiaojiu! What, did you ask you to drive away the dirty things?! Can uncle come out?!"
Hua Jiunan quickly ran over and opened the door.
"It's okay, Uncle Chen, you can come out!"
"I thought about letting everyone sleep a little longer, so I didn't call you too early."
Chen Fu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Hey, Xiaojiu, you also know that my uncle is timid."
"How can I sleep when such a big thing happened..."
It’s hard for Hua Jiu to take a closer look, isn’t it?
This benevolent businessman's eyes were dark, as if he was wearing thick smoky makeup.
There are three miners with the same "makeup".
The person who bragged about inviting a ghost to drink yesterday is now acting the most cowardly.
While looking around in fear, he was like a Japs stealing land mines.
While trembling, he asked Hua Jiu Nan: "Little, little fairy, do you really want to collect the dirty things in the mine?!"
Hua Jiunan shook his head gently.
"That's not true."
"But dirty things will never come to the mine again in the future."
This is not to say that Hua Jiunan lied and deceived people, but that the guy who caused the mine boils will definitely not make trouble again.
You must know that the main purpose of evil ghosts seeking lives is to conceal the truth.
But now that the "evidences" have been handed over to the top ten Yamas, why are they still making trouble?!
Do you think the matter is not big enough and you are not exposed quickly enough?
Hearing what Hua Jiunan said, the miner who invited the ghost to drink was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground. He wanted to ask more questions but was stopped by Chen Fu.
After many things, Chen Fu had no doubts about Hua Jiunan's ability and character.
If he says it's okay, then it must be okay!
Xiaojiu is a big shot, not the little brat from my family...
"Well, Jiu, uncle, I want to ask you something again."
"The Ghost Festival is the day after tomorrow, why don't we at the mine prepare something to say goodbye?!"
"It's not like I don't believe you! Goodbye Xie Xinkuan!"
Hua Jiu nodded slightly after hearing the words.
"It's okay to say goodbye, Uncle Chen."
"The three days of Tomb-Sweeping Day, the first half of July, and the first day of October should indeed be celebrated."
"Get ready to order some wine, food, incense, and candles. I'll just draw some more "Three Yin Yuans" for you!"
Hearing this, Chen Fu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I will listen to you, Xiaojiu."
"Let's arrange for people to prepare!"
While talking, Chen Daji yawned and walked out of the room.
As he walked, he played with the white breath he exhaled out of boredom.
"Oh daddy, you can't sleep well this early in the morning, why are you making such a fuss!"
"Boss, the immortal brother said yesterday that he would sacrifice his strength, and today you asked our father to sacrifice his strength again. What do you mean?!"
Hua Jiunan answered with a smile while helping Chen Daji fasten his buttons to prevent him from catching cold.
"Sacrifice to the emperor is an ancient tradition in China, but few people know about it now."
"At that time, people not only offered sacrifices to heaven and gods, but also offered sacrifices to ghosts, that is, to sacrifice the gods."
"So that they won't cause trouble and life can be peaceful."
Having said this, Hua Jiunan added again.
"The "County Chronicle" that Uncle Zhao brought back also has records."
"Yi Li Tan is about 150 paces north of the city. In the 25th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the Qingfu was discussed and established, and it was promulgated to the world. Every year during the Qingming Festival, it falls on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month and on the first day of the 10th lunar month.
The three sacrificial rites department issued the sacrificial text."
The last sentence, Hua Jiu Nan is just playing the piano to an ox, because Chen Daji doesn't understand it at all.
"Boss, boss, who are you talking about offering sacrifices to?"
"Which boss, King of Hell, or Brother Niu Ma and the others?!"
"As long as I pay you a visit, that day happens to be your birthday anyway... No matter what the hell, you will always be honest when you meet us..."
Chen Daji's question really hit the key point.
Chen Fu, who was preparing to worship, hurriedly listened.
There is nothing trivial about offering sacrifices. If you worship the wrong "object", you will be in serious trouble!
Hua Jiu could not help but smile.
"Being me doesn't work!"
"The orthodox sacrifice is to worship the 'Lord of the Netherworld, the Lord of the Underworld, the King of Ghosts, the Great Emperor' (Note 1)."
Chen Daji was shocked when he heard this.
"What, what the hell?"
"Boss, what you said is too long. We, we don't understand and we can't remember..."
Hua Jiunan gently patted his good brother's big head.
"You can respectfully call him 'King of Ghosts with Burning Face', 'Master with Burnt Face', or 'Master with Burning Face'."
"The souls in the underworld are under the jurisdiction of the ten kings of hell, while the lonely ghosts wandering in the upper world are honored by the 'King of Ghosts with Burning Faces'."
Note 1: Mianran Dashu is a Buddhist god, also known as Mianran Ghost King, Jiao Mian Dashu, Yankou Ghost King. Commonly known as Dashu Ye, Dashu King, Dashu Holy King, and Great Maharaja.
Later, it was absorbed by Taoism and was renamed as "The Master of the Netherworld, the Master of the Netherworld, the Face of the Ghost King, and the Envoy of the Prison, Yulin Great God" or "The Master of the Netherworld, the Master of the Netherworld, the Face of the Ghost King, the King Zongji".
He is referred to as the Great God of Yulin, the Great Emperor of Zongji, and is honored as Lord Pudu.
In many places, before worshiping the souls of the dead during the Hungry Ghost Festival, they will first worship the great master.
Believers believe that in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, all the souls of the dead in the Yang world will be managed by the "Grand Master".
In Minxiong, Chiayi, an island in my country, there is a Tai Shiye Temple dedicated to worshiping Tai Shiye.
