dead child, ghost carrying coffin

Now that he encountered Wu Ran's soldiers and horses, he naturally didn't need to bother the City God anymore.

After Hua Jiunan handed over all the mine boils to God Slaughter, and asked him to tell the Underworld what happened here, all the "people" left.

Since it was late at night, Hua Jiunan and Chen Dage randomly found an empty room in the mine to rest.

He planned to go back to the small courtyard with Chen Fu at dawn.

Early the next morning, Hua Jiunan had just woken up for morning exercises when he heard the benevolent businessman calling himself through the window.

"Jiu, Xiaojiu! Well, did you drive away the dirty things?! Can uncle come out?!"

Hua Jiunan hurried to open the door.

"It's okay, Uncle Chen, you can come out now!"

"I was thinking about letting everyone sleep a little longer, so I didn't call you too early."

Chen Fu smiled wryly when he heard the words: "Hey, Xiao Jiu, you also know that Uncle is timid."

"Such a big thing happened, how can I sleep..."

It's hard for Hua Jiu to take a closer look, isn't it!

This benevolent businessman had dark eye sockets, as if he had painted thick smoky makeup.

There are also three miners with the same "makeup".

The one who bragged about asking ghosts to drink yesterday is now the most cowardly.

Looking around frightenedly, like a devil stealing landmines.

While trembling, he asked Hua Jiunan: "Little, little fairy, did you really collect the dirty things in the mine?!"

Hua Jiunan shook his head lightly.

"That's not it."

"But in the future, dirty things will never come to the mine again."

It's not that Hua Jiunan is lying to fool people, but that the guy who caused the boil will really not make trouble again.

You must know that the main purpose of the evil spirits' killing is to conceal the truth.

But now that the "evidence" has been handed over to the top ten Yamas, why are they making a fuss? !

Do you think the matter is not big enough, and you didn't expose yourself fast enough!

Hearing what Hua Jiunan said, the miner who invited ghosts to drink was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground. He wanted to ask questions but was stopped by Chen Fu.

After many things, Chen Fu firmly believed in Hua Jiunan's ability and character.

He said it's okay, then it must be okay!

Xiao Jiu is a big shot, not that little brat in my family...

"Well, Jiu, uncle, I'll ask you something again."

"It's Ghost Festival the day after tomorrow, shall we prepare something for the mine to say goodbye?!"

"It's not that uncle doesn't believe you! Bye bye Jiexinkuan!"

Hua Jiu nodded slightly with difficulty.

"Goodbye is fine, Uncle Chen."

"The three days of Ching Ming Festival, July and a half, and October New Year's Day should indeed be sacrificed."

"Get ready to order wine, vegetables and incense candles, and I'll just draw some more "Three Yin Yuan" for you!"

Chen Fu nodded repeatedly when he heard the words: "Yes, yes, uncle will listen to your Xiaojiu."

"Let's arrange for people to prepare!"

While talking, Chen Dage came out of the room yawning.

While walking, he fiddled with the white breath he exhaled boredly.

"Oh dad, I don't sleep well in the morning, why are you making so much noise!"

Seeing Chen Fu's unfriendly expression, Chen Dage quickly changed the subject.

"Boss, Brother Immortal said yesterday, and today you asked our father to sacrifice, what do you mean?!"

Hua Jiunan answered with a smile while helping Chen Dage fasten his buttons to prevent him from catching a cold.

"Sacrifice 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 sacrificed ghosts, that is, offering sacrifices to Li."

"In order to keep them from causing trouble, so that life can be peaceful."

Having said that, Hua Jiunan opened his mouth to add.

"The "County Chronicle" that Uncle Zhao brought back also has records."

"Yilitan, about 150 paces north of the city. In the 25th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Qifu, Yanyi, Dingshi, and promulgation were issued to the world. Every year, Qingming, July [-]th, and the first year of October, the Ministry of Sanji issued sacrificial rites. .”

In the last sentence, Hua Jiunan was purely playing the piano to Niu Niu, because Chen Daji couldn't understand it at all.

"Boss, boss, who are you worshiping?"

"Worship the boss of Hades or Brother Niu Ma and the others?!"

"Just ask me to worship you, anyway, that day happens to be your birthday... No matter what the hell, you will be honest when you meet us..."

Chen Daji's question really got to the point.

Chen Fu, who was preparing for worship, hurriedly listened.

Sacrifice is no small matter, if you worship the wrong "object", you will be in bad luck!

Hua Jiu couldn't hear the words and smiled helplessly.

"Being to me doesn't work!"

"The orthodox sacrificial ceremony is to worship the 'Ghost King of the Underworld' (Note 1)."

Chen Dage was astonished when he heard this.

"What, what is it?"

"Boss, the string you said is too long, we, we don't understand and can't remember..."

Hua Jiunan patted his good brother on the head lightly.

"You can respectfully call him 'Mian Ran Gui Wang', 'Jiao Mian Da Shi', or 'Da Shi Ye'."

"The souls in the underworld are under the jurisdiction of the Ten Yama Lords, while the lonely ghosts wandering in the yang world are respected only by the 'Face Burning Ghost King'."

Note 1: Mianran Dashi is a Buddhist god, also known as Mianran Ghost King, Jiaomian Dashi, and Yankou Ghost King.Commonly known as Dashiye, Dashiwang, Dashishengwang, Dawanggong.

Later, it was absorbed by Taoism, and it was renamed "The Lord of the Nether, the Master of the Underworld, the Messenger of the King of Burning Ghosts, and the Envoy of the Prison House, Habayashi" or "The Lord of the Nether, the Master of the Underworld, and the King of Rangui".

Abbreviated as Yulin Dashen and Zongzi Dadi for short, he is honored as Pudu Gong.

In many places, before worshiping the undead on the Ghost Festival, they will first worship the master.

Believers believe that in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, all the souls of the undead in the yang world are under the management of the "Master".

In Minxiong, Chiayi, a certain island in my country, there is a Dashiye Temple dedicated to offering sacrifices to Dashiye.
