In the past few days in Jining City, there was first that Jiang Ducicada who visited the Lu Palace's mansion at night, and then there was that laughing and unhealthy and alone in Qinglian Hall, and then to the double harmonious and clever corpses, which can be described as a constant turmoil.This was undoubtedly an eventful time for the Fire Lotus Sect.But there are some things that they should do or have to do......
As we all know, in ancient times, those corrupt officials, local tyrants and shoddy gentry loved to make trouble and make money during the New Year's holidays.Let's take officialdom as an example, except for some extreme examples that everyone is familiar with, such as Hai Rui, generally speaking, even if you are a clean official, when you catch up with the "three festivals and two birthdays", can you not receive some congratulatory gifts and red envelopes or something?
Not to mention the local tyrants and inferior gentry, some shameless, all year round are holding birthday banquets, what three aunts and eight uncles' eighth aunt's nephew has a birthday, they also have to invite all the surrounding neighborhoods, if they don't come, they don't give face, come, even if they give you some "flowers and hairs", you have to wrap a big red envelope.Don't think it's outrageous, this trend still exists, and now it's not the local tyrants and gentry who do it, but anyone can do it, maybe some of your relatives do it.As for this Fire Lotus Sect, it is even more arrogant, they even save a meal for dinner, and directly care about you asking for money and things.What are you looking for?
The Winter Clothes Festival in front of me is a hurdle that the people on the border of Jining have to pass every year.According to tradition, on the day of the Winter Clothes Festival, the folk have the custom of "burning cold clothes" for the souls of the dead.The so-called "burning cold clothes" generally refers to burning the five-color paper that symbolizes the cloth, and then burning some dark paper and fragrant foil or something.But in the territory of the Fire Lotus Sect, the rules of this Winter Clothes Festival are different......
According to the "rules" of the Fire Lotus Sect, on the day of the Winter Clothes Festival, every household in Jining has to carry out a "burning offering" under their organization.What is "burning"?
That is, you have to "give" some real wealth and hand it over to the Fire Lotus Sect, and then the Fire Lotus Immortal will "do" for you, bless your deceased relatives, and bless you.If you don't "give" much, then your family will be unlucky, because you are not religious......
If the "retribution" is bad in the coming day, for example, the ancestral grave of the family is dug up, someone throws stones into the window of your house in the middle of the night, and a chicken or a dog is stolen every once in a while......
Don't be surprised.Of course, if you really don't have any money, if there are any big girls and little daughters-in-law in the family who are willing to dedicate to the sect leader to "open the light", then that's fine.And if you can't give anything, and your attitude is still very uncooperative, then you will be embarrassed - "burn".If you leave it alone, your home will become a "ghost hole" on the night of the Winter Clothes Festival, and when the neighbors don't care about it, they will have to follow the "bad luck" in the future.Therefore, for the sake of "Hello everyone", the Fire Lotus Church will set fire to your house before dark, and only allow the neighbors to extinguish the fire when the fire is almost burned.What?
Do you think this is unreasonable?
In fact, there is an even more unreasonable situation......
That is, if you reach the step of "burning" and still have to resist stubbornly, then you are a "ghost", and you will burn it together.Burned alive, the government doesn't care.But what......
In this case, except for the first year of the establishment of the Fire Lotus Sect, there have been no more in the past few years, after all, with the lessons of the past, even if the common people scrape out three melons and two dates to "offer", it is better than being burned down before the winter.Some families really can't scrape anything, and they don't want their daughters to be caught and ruined by the Fire Lotus Sect, so they simply hang their families before the Winter Clothes Festival, so as to leave a clean slate, and there is a whole corpse.Don't think this is an exaggeration, and don't say anything like "why didn't they leave Jining with their whole family", it was not as good as it is now, and it was extremely difficult to move to another place at that time.If you are a single person, neither old nor young, then it is better to say, just find a distant relative to go to the place, even if people do not accept you there, you can stay in the local area to work or ask for a meal.But if you want to move your family from one place, it will be as difficult as trying to emigrate if you want to emigrate with a family whose monthly income is barely enough to maintain a minimum standard of living.Do you have relatives who can run to it?
Will your relatives be able to take in your whole family?
You go to the government and say that your family's household registration is going to be moved, and you have to go to the road......
Can you get it without a little money?
And where will your family get the money for food, drink, and accommodation along the way?
Do you still need to run with all the money mentioned above?
Isn't it the end of directly "contributing" a part?
In short, in the past few years since the rise of the Fire Lotus Sect, as long as the common people hear the three words of the Winter Clothes Festival, their scalps are already numb, and they can't wait for God to erase this day.This year, just in time for the corpse to encounter a series of unpleasant things a few days ago, he wants to use this "burning" to make a good profit, so that he can "recover his losses".So, early in the morning of the first day of October, the Fire Lotus Sect began their "collection" operation in the city.Since the hall master and Xi Guan of the Qinglian Hall had all been killed a few days ago, and the corpse had not been arranged to make up for it for the time being, the disciples of the Qinglian Hall could only be assigned to the other four halls as followers this year.As for the other four halls, because there is one less family to share the "meat", it is even more frustrating, after all, this is an errand of pure oil and water, who doesn't want to take the opportunity to make more money?
Those big families are okay, because the more rich and powerful the family, the more polite the Fire Lotus Sect is to them; When they come to this kind of house to "receive offerings", the Fire Lotus disciples usually wait at the door and do not enter the house, waiting for the housekeeper to send the money out to see if it is enough, and then send it away.But for those ordinary poor people, the more they have no money and no power, the more ruthless the Fire Lotus Sect will become-that is, kicking in the door, opening the mouth, robbing other people's things, arresting other people's female relatives, and burning their homes if they dare to resist, they are more robbers than robbers.In this way, in just one morning, the entire Jining City was in a lot of trouble, and the people were not happy.In the blink of an eye, when the time comes, according to the current situation, at more than two o'clock in the afternoon, the "collection" of the Fire Lotus Sect is finally over.At this time, at the entrance of the market in the city, the crowd slowly gathered.What are they doing here?
Look at Daxian's "practice".As I just said earlier, after the "offering", the Fire Lotus Immortal will do the method to "bless" everyone.Some people may ask, does he really bless the people?
How is that possible......
Where in the world is there any spell that can "bless" the people of the city at once?
If there is, it is not called magic, but social security.So what is the method that the corpse is going to do now?
It's simple – juggling.First, since he has already said that he will bless the people after "receiving the offering", then what does it matter if he makes a show to the people?
Second, it is also a deterrent to show a few tricks that have little practical meaning but seem very exaggerated in front of the people.And the people......
"dedication" has been paid, let's take a look, from a certain point of view, they are also consumers, don't look at it.At the beginning of the Shen period, finally, the figure of the corpse appeared on the altar at the entrance of the market.This "Dharma platform" is very tall and large, and it was completed in the first two days; The Dharma platform is surrounded by squares and roads, and even if there are thousands of onlookers, people from a distance can see the situation on the stage.At this moment, with the appearance of the corpse, the originally noisy square quickly quieted down.His sense of presence and oppression is indeed strong, just standing on the stage and looking around, it can also make people far away from him feel creepy and silent."
Hmph......" stood on the stage for a moment, and when the surrounding birds were silent, the corpse hooked the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, and then spoke, "Rank beloved disciples, fellow villagers......
Today is the first day of October, the Ghost Day, and this seat is routinely praying for the dawn people of Jining, appeasing the dead and protecting all living beings......
Seeing that so many villagers came to witness, this seat is also very gratifying. ”Speaking of this, he shook the dust on his hand and put on a fairy demeanor, as if waiting for the crowd in the audience to applaud his hypocritical nonsense."
The Sect Master Immortal is alive!""
The Sect Master is merciful!""
Fire Lotus Great Immortal!
The merit is heavenly!
”"Fire Lotus Great Immortal!
The immortal law is boundless!
”The Fire Lotus Sect's group of grandsons were not slow to react, and the hall masters and officials who were standing on the side of the stage immediately took the lead in shouting, and as soon as they shouted, the other minions also followed the rhythm.As for the common people, those who are closer to the Fire Lotus Sect members who are standing on the side of the stage naturally have to shout twice, otherwise they are afraid that they will be remembered for their appearance and settle accounts after the autumn, and those who are far away......
At most, he moved his mouth, and his mouth did not make a sound.After these people shouted for a while, the corpse man waved his hand again, signaled his minions to stop, and spoke again: "Hey~ This seat is just doing what a cultivator should do, why worry about it, I deserve it for you to love me so much." ”And his speech, which was similar to "please step up", undoubtedly led to a second round of sycophant chanting.When the second wave was almost over, the corpse was slowly walked to the side of the altar, came to a table with a few magic utensils, picked up a bell casually, and said: "Okay, then without further ado, this seat will open the altar for ......"
Just as the corpse was about to start the official performance, but unexpectedly, a loud shout came out of the air: "Demon Dao!"
Are you done with your fart!
”The voice fell, and the figure rose.But in the midst of the crowd, a person suddenly flew out.With his outstanding light skills, this person stepped on the top of the heads of the Fire Lotus Sect members all the way forward, and in a few leaps, he had already jumped onto the towering Dharma platform.Before the man could stand still, the corpse had already recognized him by his form......
Isn't this who Jiang Ducicada is?"
It's you ...... again" The corpse was interrupted by the "performance", and he was very unhappy, not to mention that the other party was still the person he wanted to kill before, so he also said unabashedly at this time, "What?
Did you come here today to receive your death?
”"Huh......
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
I won't die if you die. ”Jiang Ducian sneered, "I'm here to take your dog's life today!"
”"Just you?"
When the corpse boy responded to these words, many of the Fire Lotus Sect disciples in the audience had already come back to their senses, and they had drawn out their blades one after another."
I can't do it alone."
Jiang Ducian didn't care about the actions of the minions around the stage, but continued, "But if you add another one, it will be more than enough to deal with you." ”Hearing the words "another", the corpse immediately thought in his heart: Bacheng is the "Xudong Old Immortal".But the corpse was still silent on the surface, and asked in a deep voice, "Oh?
Who is it?
”"Good question!"
Jiang Ducian seemed to be waiting for him to say this, and the next second, he suddenly took out a gong and a small hammer with a cloth head from his arms, and banged like that, as if he was a street performer, and then said, "That's the ......
Xudong Old Immortal sat down as the chief disciple, the living golden body of the Northern Heaven Demon Tianzun - Zhang Baoguo!
”When the corpse heard this, he said in his heart, "Who is this?
It can't be the one who played with the dung fork that day, right?
”But after hesitating for a moment, the corpse still asked, "Then where is he now?"
”Before the words of the corpse were finished, the blade of a trident had already broken through the plank under his feet, and suddenly burst out from under the high platform, and slammed into his crotch!
