The night pearl was taken out, and the room was filled with radiance.

Chang Zijin said: "There are gods three feet above the head. The shopkeeper reminds us not to talk nonsense to avoid offending ghosts and gods. However, I don't mean to be disrespectful. I am just curious, how come there is such a custom in this place? The whole town.

How can we eat and work without lighting a lamp?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Since they know that today is a special day, they must have finished their meal long ago. Besides, there is nothing else to do in the evening."

He looked at Liu Mizhou and asked, "Have you been in Shu for many years, or have you heard of this custom?"

He knew that July 15th was the Taoist Hungry Ghost Festival and the Buddhist Yulan Festival. It is commonly known as the Ghost Festival among the people.

In addition, the four seasons of the year are dominated by gods. Baidi, who dominates autumn, is not only the god of harvest, but also the god of punishment and death. He is the god of death in China. In the past dynasties, the treatment of death row prisoners was placed after the beginning of autumn, which is called the question after autumn.

cut.

In addition, the date of autumn sacrifices used to be arbitrary. It could be any time after the beginning of autumn. In the Southern Dynasties, the fifteenth day of the seventh month was finally set as the day for ancestor worship.

In short, the direct origin of July 15th is the autumn festival in the pre-Qin period.

There are many colorful customs and activities on July 15th, which can be basically classified into eight categories.

First, recommend new people to worship their ancestors.

Second, burn Chu and die.

The third is to pray for crops in the fields.

Fourth, Pudu Shigu.

Fifth, the God Entertainment Competition.

Sixth, gift sheep for educational purposes.

Seventh, he was transformed into Zhu Zi.

Eighth, light lanterns and pray for blessings.

The last one is to light lamps to pray for blessings. "Historical Records" records that during the time of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, there was a habit of lighting lamps to worship gods and ancestors. Lighting lamps is usually said to be lighting lamps to illuminate the underworld. The dead are in the underworld, which is dark.

Lighting lamps illuminates their way back. There is also a saying that it is a sacrifice to the gods, and it is also for the gods to see.

In the customs of various places, there is a saying of "lighting up lights", but why is there a saying of "turning off lights" here? It's really strange that things happen every year, especially this year!

Feng Jiuxiao fell into deep thinking.

When the lights go out, there is no light, and darkness invades.

The so-called will of God is nothing more than some human manipulation, sacrificing the interests of the public for their own selfishness.

"Historical Records" records that in the past years when Marquis Wen of Wei, Ximen Bao was the order of Ye. Bao went to Ye and met with the elders to ask about the sufferings of the people. The elders said: "I am suffering because He Bo married a wife, so I am poor."

He Bo, god, if you want a wife, just marry a wife. How can you marry a wife and make the common people poor? There must be something fishy in it!

Ximen Bao said: "Uncle Huhe is here and thinks she is ugly." The girl was about to come out of the curtain and came forward. Bao looked at her and called the three elders to pray for witches. The elder said: "This girl is not good and she is annoying the big witch."

In order to repay the uncle of the river, I have to ask for a good girl and send her to him the day after tomorrow." Even the officials and soldiers hugged the big witch woman and threw her into the river. After a while, they said: "How long will the witch woman last? Is it interesting for the disciples?" Then one of the disciples threw her into the river.

After a while in the river, he said: "How long will it take for you to be a disciple? Let me have one more person to enjoy it!" He threw one disciple into the river again, and then threw three disciples into him.

This place is absolutely amazing!

I first threw the old witch into the river, but for a while, the key point was that the witch actually "didn't come up"! Is this okay? I asked you to send a message, but you never came back. You are so happy that you are not thinking about Shu. Isn't this looking for my Ximen Bao's face? Send another one

Disciple, go down! Ha! As expected of the same lineage, the disciple did not come up even after he went down, then vote for another one, as many as there are, damn I, Ximen Bao, do not believe that the last one of them did not come up to reply!

Ximen Leopard, with his hairpin and chime broken, stood facing the river for a long time. The elders and officials who were watching were all frightened. Ximen Leopard said: "Witch woman, if the three elders don't come back, what's wrong with you?" He wanted to return to the court and the wealthy elders.

When one person entered the scene, they all kowtowed, and their heads were broken. Blood flowed from their foreheads to the ground, and their color was ashen. Ximen Bao said: "No, I'll wait for a moment." After a moment, Bao said: "The court has lifted up. He Bo has invited guests.

After a long time, everyone will give up and go home." The officials and people of Ye were greatly frightened, and from then on they did not dare to say anything about marrying a wife for He Bo.

Look, He Bo's marriage to a wife is clearly a scam set up by a few magicians to defraud money.

Among them, the witch woman is the main conspirator, uniting the three elders and Ting Yu to plan, build momentum, and seek wealth and death together!

The witch woman deserves to die, but the three elders deserve to die even more! Who are the three elders? He is a prestigious person elected by the common people! He has betrayed the trust of the common people!

Ting Peng was a minor official under the county magistrate. For the sake of petty profit, he ignored the life and death of the people. How many lives of young girls had he sacrificed? Of course he deserved to die!

Nowadays, this Willow Tree Inn actually has a strange habit of "turning off the lights", and everything is weird!

Darkness is the fig leaf of sin.

How many crimes happen in the dark night?

Owls crowed from time to time outside the window, adding a bit of terror.

Li Erni was thinking, today is July 15th, a day when the gates of ghosts are wide open. Will any ghosts appear soon?

The more she thought about it, the more scared she became, and she couldn't help but lean against Zeng Yong.
