Originally, Mo You didn't plan to stay in Linghua City for a long time. Her original plan was to rent a car from Linghua City and travel.
But half a month later is the flower viewing party in Linghua City. There is still half a month left, and the festive atmosphere in Linghua City is already very strong.
The room where Mo You lived was located near the window. Because Mo You did not turn on the soundproofing circle in the room, the sounds from the street outside could always reach her ears.
Linghua City was very lively, and the people below were discussing Mrs. Qian and the upcoming flower viewing party.
Maybe what they were talking about was too lively. After a while, Mo You opened the window again.
Without the barrier of the window, the sounds outside came through more clearly.
"Would you like to buy Fuze lamp oil? My Fuze lamp oil has a peculiar fragrance when burning, and is especially suitable for lighting when viewing flowers!"
"They sell balm~ I have all kinds of flower scents!"
“Flower balls, paper flowers and branches! Don’t miss it when you’re passing by!”
The vendors shouted loudly, and the monks passing by looked at this, commented on that, and from time to time told interesting things that happened during the flower viewing party.
And even if we worship, how long ago should we worship our ancestors? Or should we worship all the dead ones?
Some big families may still have ancestors from the beginning of the family, and the ones on the family memorial tablets are all the little ones he has seen, wearing crotchless pants and having runny noses. Such a high-profile worship ceremony makes the still-living elders
What do you think? Will you also feel sad and lament that things have changed and people have changed?
"Fellow Taoist, come and take a look. The talismans I sell here are the best!"
Linghua City has no special requirements for stall owners in the flower viewing party. Anyone can do it. All you need to do is register at the special registration office of the City Lord's Mansion and get a small sign representing the stall!
These stalls are planned from the beginning, so there are not many of them, and they will be gone once they are distributed.
As Mo You walked in, a faint light lit up at the stall. The stall owner and nearby stall owners saw it, and greeted Mo You warmly when they saw him coming.
The flower viewing party in Linghua City is quite lively. It’s almost boring to stay and just watch it, so Mo You also wants to become a stall owner!
"Fellow Taoist, I have ready-made talisman paper here. Come and take a look. It was drawn by the winning stall owner from the previous session!"
"Fellow Taoist, are you the stall owner participating in the flower viewing party this year? Come and have a look at my place. The balms and powders I have here come in all kinds of flavors, and they can look fake and real!"
After all, it’s rare for a customer to pay for such an expensive item without even negotiating the price!
Despite the fact that Mo You didn't buy much, she actually bought the best products from this stall, and each item was very expensive. Every stall owner who got the spirit stone laughed so hard that they couldn't help but laugh!
She deliberately went to the stall she was assigned to have a look, and found that the stall was still occupied by people selling things, such as talismans, paper, and ink.
…
Mo You's luck was quite good. There was still a stall when she went to register, and there was also a holiday gift from the city owner to the stall owner.
What they said was interesting, and Mo You also found it interesting, so she lay by the window and listened for a while, and finally decided to stay in the city for another half month to participate in what they called a flower viewing party!
The flower viewing party in Linghua City lasts for three days. On the first day, people will draw talisman to appreciate talisman and shoot talisman for good luck during the day. At night, they will set off talisman lanterns, burn talisman bamboos, lay out talisman paintings, and perform various talisman paintings.
After all, the dead ancestor may not have much ability, nor may he have much contribution to the family.
Mo You signed after confirming that it was okay, and then left with the gift and small sign.
On the contrary, the ancestor who is still alive is the hope of the family.
…
On the third day, you need to wear plain clothes and flowers, and you are not allowed to make loud noises or eat meat, even outsiders.
Monks in the world of cultivation live long lives, and there are very few large-scale festivals like this to worship ancestors. Even some aristocratic families with long heritage rarely hold such large-scale events.
The third day of the flower viewing party is the ancestor worship festival in Linghua City. The excitement of the first two days is just to dilute the sadness of worshiping ancestors.
There will be a show on the night of the third day, including various performances of playing, playing, playing and singing. However, no one can go out on this night. The performers will perform in an empty place. This is a performance for the ancestors to see.
Each of the eliminated stall owners must take out something as a lottery ticket, and the monk who recognizes the most talisman flowers can get the lottery ticket.
The stall owner who loses on the second night will perform on the stage on the third night!
On the third day, all the residents of Bailing Flower City will worship their ancestors.
Flower viewing the next day.
During the day, real flowers are mixed with talisman flowers. You can tell which ones are fake flowers without touching them. If all the talisman flowers in the stall are found, then the stall owner will be eliminated. Otherwise, you can identify the fake flowers.
The monk with the most talisman flowers wins.
What's more, monks in the world of cultivation take death relatively lightly, and don't need spiritual sustenance. After all, those with a slightly weaker spirit have been tortured to death by their inner demons, and they don't need the blessing of their ancestors at all!
Therefore, there are not many places like Linghua City that carry out ancestor worship activities on a certain day every year at a fixed time. In the world of cultivation, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are rare!
If you miss this village, you may not be able to see this scene, so Mo You listened to the hustle and bustle outside the street for an afternoon and decided to stay and participate!
If one were not careful and caused the ancestor to have inner demons or make him no longer want to live, then that would be a real sin.
The stall owners were very enthusiastic, and Mo You was inexplicably infected by them. He walked over to take a look, and bought two large gourds of talisman ink, several kinds of good-smelling balm, and a few talisman papers.
You don’t need flower spirit stones to apply for a stall, but you need to sign a contract. The contract clearly states that once you apply, you must set up a stall. If there is really a reason for not being able to set up a stall, you need to go to the registration office and hand in the stall certificate. You cannot throw it away without reason, or
Empty stall.
On the night of the second day, the talisman flowers were mixed with real flowers. It was stipulated that each stall could only keep one real flower at night. The stall owners who were also found were eliminated. The monk who found the most real flowers won, but this time
The lottery is not provided by the stall owner, but by the city lord's mansion in Linghua City.
The ink vendor enthusiastically gave Mo You an ink stick the size of his thumb. The ointment vendor saw it and gave Mo You a handful of flower seeds after thinking about it. The talisman vendor was reluctant and looked around.
Later, he quietly told Mo You a piece of news.
"Fellow Taoist, if you walk along this road and look to the left, you will see the door with the cyan curtain. The real flowers they sell look just like fake flowers. The fake ones are especially real."
Mo You blinked, looked in the direction the shop owner said, and then thanked the stall owner.
She actually went to the store the shop owner mentioned.
Indeed, the flowers in this house are very special, they look like real flowers, but if you look carefully, you can see some "flaws", but they are indeed real flowers, and there are no traces of covering up on them.
