Delicious Delicacy of the Demon Spirit

"Hehe...that's all I said, and you are really good." He Weiran went back to the house, turned to Li Kuer and said to Li Kuer as he walked, "I still have incense here, you take it back, and go home directly at night." , don’t hang around elsewhere.”

Li Kuer got the five tubes of incense from He Weiran, said goodbye to her and went home.After leaving the back door of the palace, Qingqiu Lane, which used to be peaceful in the past, became extremely lively.Every household, the whole family, young and old, came out. In the yard, under the corner, and on both sides of the road, candles were lit, and incense sticks were inserted. The red lights were like stars in the sky, and the air was full of pious spirit. pray.The children were even more hilarious, and they took the burning incense from the adults in the family. They were so happy in groups that they had to light up every corner to be reconciled.

"Hey, look at the old willow tree over there!" A group of children ran over and clicked around the willow tree.

"That chair can also be inserted! Let's go over there!" A group of children ran over, facing the dilapidated bamboo chair under the outer wall of an unknown house, and used every gap.

"Hey? Isn't that Sister Kuer?" Another group of children came and asked around Li Kuer, "Sister Kuer, what is this in your hand?"

Only then did Li Kuer realize that when he became so popular, it was because of the Luosu lamp, so he answered them with a smile on his face: "This is the Luosu lamp, that is, the eggplant lamp. Look, the one in the middle It's eggplant, right?"

"Wow! It's so beautiful!" The eyes of the children lit up, thinking that this thing is really interesting, it's really interesting, but Li Kuer felt that they were so foolish, so foolish, and sure enough, Luosu Deng was called Shisui The following children are fresh and fresh.

"This is taught by the granddaughter of the old prince Qiao who came to the capital. I heard that the children in the capital have to do this on this day every year."

When the children heard this, they were even more alarmed. You and I rushed to make a statement and wanted to be Luosu Deng.Li Kuer pointed to the various parts of the lamp while explaining how to do it. After hearing this, the children were eager to try it, and went home to make lamps.

Li Kuer shook the Luosu lantern in his hand, the incense ash fell to the ground, and the short incense on the waist of the gourd had been burned.She remembered what He Weiran told her, hanging the Luosu lantern under the room for auspiciousness, it seems that she had to reinsert it when she went back.

All the way to the door of the house, Aunt Liu's family next door was busy with their work. Seeing her, she hurriedly asked, "Are you back so late?"

Ku'er explained to Aunt Liu what happened in the mansion today, unlocked the door and entered.

"Then you have to hurry up, everyone is almost busy, there will be no one outside in a while, and it will be scary for you to be outside."

"Don't be afraid, I will accompany Sister Ku'er."

"It's better, Ah Zhao." Li Kuer went into the room with a smile and took out a pair of small candles, lit them with a torch, and put them at the door of the house, then opened the incense that He Weiran sent, took a handful and lit it.This incense is different from ordinary ones. Although it is not visible from the outside, it is very obvious when you smell it.This incense is extremely easy to light, but it only emits sparks and will not ignite a flame. There are wisps of green smoke, which is very faint, but lingers on. It is miraculous to produce incense ash.

Li Kuer planted the incense all over the yard, by the well, by the pigsty, and around Ah Kui. The two hens were forced to the eaves, and there was almost no place for them to stay due to the sparks all over the ground.Li Kuer planted incense sticks while muttering in his mouth: "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, you must see me, see me, and bless me not to get hurt, sick, or bankrupt this year, and to be safe and sound. By the way, my family still has one Only flower spirit, her name is Akui, she is a good child, if Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva really sees my house, she will also bless Akui to achieve the right fruit as soon as possible. Bodhisattva bless, Amitabha..."

After Li Kuer finished inserting the ground incense, he re-decorated the Luosu lantern and hung it under the corner of the eaves. When the evening wind blew, the eggplant turned and turned, and the gourd made of incense sparks also turned and turned, and he held it in his hand. Much more interesting.She stretched and yawned again. Tired and sleepy, she went to the well to fetch water for a bath.

"Creak creak... creak... creak..."

"Huh? Hey..." Li Kuer shook the pulley on the well, but for some reason, it suddenly froze.She increased her strength until her hands were almost weak, and then she managed to make the pulley turn again, as if hoisting a bucket of stones up.

"Hey...hey...is it going to be broken?...hey..."

"Miss Ku'er, how are you doing recently?" Suddenly, a voice came from the well, and as her shaking the pulley got closer, Li Kuer was startled, unable to see clearly, "Ah " let go with a sound.The pulley spun around again, and the bucket fell back into the well with a thud, splashing water.

Li Kuer didn't dare to move, and only recalled the owner of the voice just now, it was very familiar...

"Lord River God!" She remembered, it was the River God Ayan whom she hadn't seen for a while.

"Hey, why did you let go? I was still counting on you to pull me up." The River God rose from the well with a burst of white mist, and his expression and tone of speech were very resentful.

Li Ku'er felt that she was joking, the majestic River God actually wanted to ask her, a little girl, to bring her up, he was actually trying to bully others!She complained so much in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it out, and said gloomily, "Why is Lord River God frightening me so late at night?"

Sitting on the edge of the well, the River God raised his chin to look at Li Kuer: "Didn't you tell me to call me sister last time? Why did you become Lord River God again?"

Li Ku'er had no choice but to change her name and ask again: "Then why did Sister Ayan come to see me at night?"

"What else? Of course it's about Zongzi."

Li Kuer thought about it too, tilted his head and asked, "But I don't know how to make zongzi, so you should go to Sister He."

"I don't dare to go there recently. Anyway, you can tell her for me and ask her to make me a hundred rice dumplings, and I will pay her for it. After you make them, you can throw them into this well." He said God patted the edge of the well, and continued: "I will continue below."

"I can take the message, but whether Sister He agrees or not is not up to me."

"Of course I know that. But she and I are already friends, so she won't refuse such a trivial matter, right?"

Li Kuer thought about it too, He Weiran didn't seem to be unkind to his friends, so he nodded to show his agreement.

The River God was very happy, looked around Li Kuer's yard again, and said to her, "Hey, when did you raise a little flower?"

"Not long ago." Li Kuer heard the river god mentioned sunflowers, and couldn't help becoming vigilant, fearing that she would embarrass Ah Kui.

But the River God didn't care, he just smiled and said, "If this thing is done for me, I'll give you a bottle of spiritual water, and you can water it with spiritual water, and it will grow well."

"Looks good?" Li Kuer felt that these four words had a deeper meaning, and opened her eyes keenly, very excited.Ah Kui got the spiritual water of the river god, which must be very good for her practice.

The God of the River narrowed his eyes, and said, "Who am I, Ah Yan, so naturally I won't let you run errands for nothing."

Li Kuer laughed so hard that his mouth parted, and suddenly noticed a problem, he raised his eyebrows and asked, "By the way, sister Ah Yan, why are you afraid to go to Prince Qiao's mansion recently?"

I don't want the God of the River to change his face immediately when he heard the words, and said without warmth: "You don't have to worry about it. In short, you have to help me with my affairs. Also, if anyone asks me in the future, you can say I don't know." After she finished speaking, she rolled back and went back into the well without making a sound.

Li Ku'er didn't understand that someone would ask her about it in the future, and it seemed that something troublesome was about to come.She shook her head, decided she didn't want to think about it, continued to fetch water to take a shower, and then went to bed.

At night, Li Kuer dreamed of her father, Mr. Li.Mr. Li was wearing a blue-gray robe and a square scarf on his head. He was still dressed in the most ordinary way before he was alive, but he looked much younger.Li Ku'er asked her father if he was doing well there, and if he was with his mother, but her father didn't say anything, he just stretched out his hand and handed over a painting.Just as Li Kuer was about to pick it up, the scroll flew up and became very large, covering half of the sky.

Li Kuer raised his head and stared wide-eyed, but saw the picture scroll unfolding slowly, and there was a portrait of Bodhisattva painted on the scroll. Holding a pewter staff, with a vow seal in his right hand, and stepping on a lotus throne with both feet, judging from his image, he should be Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.Li Kuer hurriedly put his hands together and knelt down to pray, and when he looked up again, the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the painting had opened his eyes and was smiling lovingly at her...
