Although it was four or five miles apart, Qi Xiang could hear the sound of gongs and drums coming from the village, as if it was very lively.

Qi Xiang looked through the sound and saw a group of people gathered in a corner of the village, not knowing what they were doing. He squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and he was confused, as if a group of villagers were holding a ceremony.

When Qi Xiang was curious, she followed the trend and walked down the mountain and slowly headed towards the village.

After a while, he walked into the village and felt that the village was wider than what he saw on the mountain. The roads paved with sand were relatively flat, and trees as thick as buckets were sparse or densely distributed throughout the village, which was very shaded.

The whole village should have gone to watch the fun. Qi Xiang walked along the way and saw only houses with locked doors, but there was no one in front of and behind the house.

Qi Xiang walked for a while, and the lively voice became clearer and clearer. After turning a lane, his eyes suddenly became clearer and there was a dense crowd.

"Donglongdonglonglongchoke!"

Among the lively crowds, several old men guided a group of young and old men to beat drums, but seven or eight young and strong men in the field carried the dragon head, dragon body, and dragon tail, and walked neatly, dancing dragons in circles.

Hundreds of villagers, men, women, young and old, were watching, shouting and cheering nearby.

“What kind of festival is today?”

Qi Xiang was a little curious, thinking about it in his mind, but couldn't figure it out. He simply took out his cell phone and looked through the almanac. At first glance, he became even more confused.

Because today, it is very ordinary. It is neither a national legal program nor a celebration of traditional folk customs.

"Are you going to work in the club?"

Qi Xiang was thinking, but she wasn't sure.

The so-called "campus" is actually a social festival. Many people in modern times probably don't know much about social festivals. However, as long as children who grew up in the countryside, they should know what a food club is.

In fact, the society is the land god. In ancient times, the people were very respectful and worshipping the land, so they held activities to worship the land god every year. The day of worshipping the land god is the society day, and the sacrificial activities are collectively called the society festival or the society.

Generally speaking, the Ancient Society Festival is celebrated twice a year.

When spring is held, it is called the Spring Club, and when autumn is held, it is called the Qiu Club. When spring club prays for the valley. Pray for blessings of the gods of the society, the weather is good, and the grains are abundant. When autumn club reports to the gods, they report the good news of the gods of the society after the harvest, and thank the gods of the society.

Qi Xiang estimated the time, and Qiushe should have been there these few days.

Of course, for various reasons, each place has its own sacrificial habits. When to go to the community, it is definitely up to the local villagers to decide on their own, and it is impossible to make unified arrangements.

So, it is not surprising that the people in this village are living in the community.

Qi Xiang looked around and saw through the people watching the fun, she found a blue brick and black tiles temple next to her. The temple worshipped the God of Land, and now she is more sure of her judgment.

"Ping Ping Pong!"

Suddenly, someone set off firecrackers. The sound of bursting was accompanied by the smoke of gunpowder, which added a bit of festive atmosphere to the lively scene.

The smoke rolled, but the young and strong dragon danced did not stop. Instead, he accelerated his speed, holding the dragon's head, dragon body, and dragon tail, dancing even more vigorously.

The long dragon body appeared and disappeared in the smoke, and the dragon saw its head but not its tail, which was extremely effective. For a moment, the cheers and shouts next to it became more and more intense.

After a long time, the smoke of gunpowder disappeared, and the sound of gongs and drums slowly stopped.

Qi Xiang knew that the excitement was not over yet, and a formal sacrificial ceremony was probably to be held. As expected, a group of young and strong men put down the dragon dance and started... waiting, it seemed wrong.

Qi Xiang was stunned for a moment and found that the next plot was unfolding. It was not like he imagined that he would sacrifice the land with things, but instead picked up big hammers, long hoes, etc., and walked towards the Land Temple with great momentum, full of murderous intent!

"What are you going to do?" Qi Xiang's eyes were dull.

"Bang!"

At this moment, a young man with a strong muscle swung his hammer and waved it suddenly. With a dull sound, the outer wall of the Land Temple immediately splashed with sparks, and lightning was shining everywhere.

"Demolition of the temple?" Qi Xiang was shocked and looked around quickly. He found that the villagers were calm and decent, and knew that this was a discussion in advance, not a hasty decision.

"Why should the temple be demolished?"

Qi Xiang was a little surprised. After all, he knew very well that traditional customs were prevalent in the countryside. The people have always respected buildings such as land temples, ancestral halls, Taoist temples, and Buddhist temples. Not to mention demolishing them, some conservative places are not even allowed to enter randomly.

But now, it is strange that the village has demolished temples, but the old people have not stopped them, and even take the initiative to help.

Qi Xiang continued to watch and vaguely understood a little.

Judging from the demolition and smashing, it seems that the land temple has been in disrepair for a long time, and some walls and tiles on the roof are already rotten. When the hammer is smashed, the walls and tiles will fall down, and dust will fly.

At first glance, Qi Xiang understood what was going on, but she had to make sure. He glanced at the left and right, took a few steps, and asked a young man next to him, "Is this going to be demolished and rebuilt?"

"Well……"

The young man was stunned and nodded, "Yes, the temple is old. The tiles fell down a few days ago, and it was hit by people. The elders in the village felt that this was not safe. After discussing with everyone, they decided to demolish the old temple and build another big new temple."

"Sure enough..." Qi Xiang smiled, and was satisfied with his judgment.

At the same time, the young man asked, "Are you here to collect the worn out?"

"What?" Qi Xiang was stunned and didn't understand.

"Isn't it?" the young man gestured with his mouth: "I thought you were in the same group as them. I heard that our village was going to demolish this century-old temple, so he rushed over to see if he could buy something."

"Huh!"

Qi Xiang's heart moved and he quickly looked over. There were indeed a few people around the temple. Even though the dust was flying and the tiles were flying, they had no intention of avoiding it.

If you look closely, you will find that these people are really out of place with the villagers around you. The people are working hard to tear down the walls, and everyone helps them together, and they are busy. But these people are standing by and watching, occasionally turning over the wall bricks to find something.

"Hey, come with me."

This familiar move suddenly aroused Qi Xiang's past memories. Needless to say, these people should be antique dealers who went to the countryside to collect antiques, or collect players.

People like this must be smart and clear-headed. When they hear something, they will immediately hear the news.

Speaking of which, this is also in Luoyang. Luoyang has a strong foundation. If you dig in any piece of wasteland, you will definitely not find it strange if you dig any antiques.

Of course, that was before, and now there was definitely no such good luck. The antique craze began to pick up in the 1990s, and the new century gradually heated up, and a craze formed in 10 years.

During this period, the real good things have been dug up by people. Now it is difficult to say whether the things dug out are true or false. If you dig a hundred times, ninety-nine times were mines buried by others.

As people get caught more often, they learn to learn their lessons and generally have a skeptical attitude towards the unearthed things.

However, the land temple is now demolished. Under normal circumstances, even if the unscrupulous vendors collude with the villagers to bury landmines, they cannot be buried in the temple. The elderly in the village will never allow such a humiliating act.

Furthermore, the Land Temple has been around for some time. According to the previous rules, when building temples, some things must be buried in the ground, or in the walls, on beams, and on the roof.

That kind of thing, either called "Haven-win things or "Super-win things", is somewhat related to Feng Shui. Whether it is traditional customs or Feng Shui things, it is a very valuable thing in the eyes of antique dealers.

Needless to say, these people must have come for the things in the temple.

Qi Xiang smiled, and when she saw Lie, she nodded directly and said, "You are right, I am also a worn-out one. However, she is not the same group as them, but she accidentally passed by and came to join in the fun."

"It's all the same." The young man said indifferently: "Whoever sells is not selling, and whoever gives more money will give you the same one."

"Haha..." Qi Xiang smiled, her expression was very interesting. The young man thought, was this an auction? A few antique dealers were raising the price in order to compete for something? Naive!

Qi Xiang has been working with others to go to the countryside to pay a house, so naturally he is very clear about the inside story.

The few people were obviously in the same group, and it was impossible to raise prices to each other and stab each other. On the contrary, they still had a tacit understanding of the price. They waited until they bought all the things and then slowly divided the accounts after they went back.

In this way, both losses are avoided and benefits are obtained, which can be regarded as maximizing benefits. Young people naively think that they will fight for things, which is purely delusional.

At this time, Qi Xiang left the young man and walked towards the people. Before he could get close, he bowed and greeted with a smile: "Brothers, are you having fun?"

"You are..." A man looked up, his eyes showing confusion.

"My younger brother's surname is Qi. I passed by nearby and found it was quite lively here, so I came over to take a look." Qi Xiang smiled and said, "I didn't expect that it was a good time, so I was moved and wanted to take a tray. I don't know which pier to pay attention to?"

"Traveling the plate?" The man was stunned. His first reaction was to frown. He probably cursed in his heart and actually came to grab a job. It was really unlucky.

"Brother Cao, come and see..."

At this moment, someone greeted him, his tone was very excited and his face looked excited.

“What’s the situation?”

The man ignored Qi Xiang and rushed over. The villagers nearby also came to hear the news. A group of people rushed like tides, instantly surrounding the ruined temple.
