Hit the yin and yang road

When everyone came out, they subconsciously looked at the wall in front of them. The red thread wrapped around their middle fingers and the wall had already fallen off.And the gorgeous relief on the wall disappeared and turned into a gray one.Chairman Chen Qingdai told them: "Congratulations to you for successfully saving the souls of the dead and sealing the resentment. This operation is very successful, and the source of the resentment will not be able to wake up and harm others for at least ten years."

Chen Yang raised his head and tugged at Du Shuo's sleeve, who knelt down and asked in a low voice.He said: "I'm tired, you support me." Du Shuo lifted him up, seeming to support him but actually hugged him, making Chen Yang completely lean on him.

After President Chen Qingdai finished speaking, he set his eyes on Chen Yang, showing a gratified and gentle smile: "Do you still remember the 'roadblock' that I let you go through before? What can you get out of it?"

Chen Yang pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked directly at Chairman Chen Qingdai, with clear black and white, firm and pure eyes.He said, "Enlightenment."

Chairman Chen Qingdai was shocked, and immediately applauded happily. "You are indeed more talented than I imagined, and you are indeed suitable for the job of a celestial master." He stroked his beautiful beard and laughed, and then said, "Ma Shanfeng should have told you about the election for the vice president of the Taoist Association. We old guys all see your deeds and know that you are a good boy. You can pass the previous tests, and then you can concentrate on preparing for promotion. If you pass, our Taoist Association will issue you certificate, officially appoint you as the vice president of the Taoist Association."

During the promotion of Taoism, the Heavenly Master of the Five Thunders first confers the capital talisman, then confers the prestige of the alliance, confers the five thunders, and further confers the three caves and five thunders.The meaning in Chen Qingdai's words was to ask Chen Yang to surpass the five thunder talisman and directly upgrade to the three hole five thunder talisman, becoming a second-rank celestial master.

Chen Yang looked at the purple-gold tassels on the sign hanging on President Chen Qingdai's waist, and remembered that the second-rank celestial master had golden tassels.He laughed: "I will work hard."

"Okay." Chen Qingdai smiled and walked towards the other young celestial masters, condolences and encouragement to them one by one.When he came to Mao Xiaoying's side, his expression was startled and hesitant: "You...you brought out the souls of the dead from the yin house?" The rest of the people all looked over when they heard the words, and their expressions gradually became serious.

Mao Xiaoying scratched her head: "Yes."

Chen Qingdai asked seriously: "Living soul?"

Mao Xiaoying: "Yes."

Where does the living soul come from in the yin house?Since Mao Zhen fell into the Yin Mansion, the Taoist Association has attached great importance to this matter and strives to keep all the young celestial masters.For more than [-] years, there has never been a celestial master trapped in the yin house and unable to get out, so at this moment, the living soul brought out of the yin house by Mao Xiaoying, who else can be besides Mao Zhen?

Ma Shanfeng, Yi Wuchang and the other four who entered the yin house together with Mao Zhen and survived trembled in their hearts: "Really? That narcissistic bastard Mao Zhen is still alive? Is he still rational if he is not dead or assimilated? Is his living soul alive?" Infected by yin and resentment?"

"Yi Fusheng, do you expect me to die early?" Mao Zhen walked out from behind Mao Xiaoying. He was just a living soul, almost transparent in the sunlight.When Wuchang Yi saw him, he suddenly covered his mouth and crouched down on his knees.Mao Zhen was at a loss for what to do with her appearance. After hesitating for a while, he put his hand on Yi Wuchang's head, and patted him gently to comfort him.

Yi Wuchang's elder brother and Ma Shanfeng and his wife were smiling, their eyes slightly red.After getting the news, Kaixuan ran in with the doll in his arms, rubbed against Chen Yang's leg and looked at the scene curiously: "Is Wuchang Yi crying?"

The doll climbed onto Kaixuan's head and sat cross-legged obediently.He said softly, "Huh? I seem to have seen that narcissistic bastard Mao Zhen?"

Zhang Qiudao: "It is he who is right."

Wawa: "Really? That's no wonder Chief Wu is sad." Kou Xuanling and the others immediately showed gossip expressions, signaling to Waffle to spit out the secrets of Yi Wuchang and Mao Zhen for many years.Wawa said: "Back then, Chief Wu and Mao were really good friends. Later, Mao Zhen failed to come out and was always in a vegetable state. Chief Wu has always been very sad and guilty. He felt that he was dragging Mao Zhen down."

Kou Xuanling was a little disappointed: "Just good friends?"

"That's right." Wawa nodded, and seeing the disappointed expressions on the faces of the people around, Wawa immediately understood: "What are you thinking? Back then, Chief Wu was underage, so he couldn't fall in love. What's more, Chief Wu's brother was in Wuchang. Who dares to get close to Wu Chang?"

Chen Yang coughed a few times, waved his hands and said: "Don't gossip too much, go back to rest." After speaking, he turned his head and leaned on Du Shuo's arms and said, "Old Du, you quietly carry me behind your back. I want to go back to sleep , let’s talk when we’re full of sleep.”

Du Shuo stared down at his side face, hugged him tightly, and then said softly: "Okay."

Seeing that everyone had dispersed, Kou Xuanling also yawned and leaned on Lu Xiuzhi's back and said vaguely, "I'm sleepy too."

Lu Xiuzhi: "I'll carry you on my back."

Zhang Qiudao sneaked out from the altar, otherwise he would be entangled by his family members to ask for their health.When he was alone, he met a fat man who hugged him left and right.Fatty got a cowboy hat from somewhere, and put it on his forehead to cover his bald head. He looked quite handsome.Fatty greeted him: "Old Tie, don't leave me a window at night."

Zhang Qiudao has never opened the door to Fatty, because Fatty usually lives outside, and only recently did everyone let him live with Fatty.But Fatty usually climbs the window and never walks through the main entrance, so it is only necessary to leave the window for him.Fatty made a detour, hugging the big beautiful cat from left to right just to show off in front of Zhang Qiudao.

Zhang Qiudao had no expression on his face, and when Big Fatty walked past him, he used the Seven Star Sword to pick off the cowboy hat on his forehead, and left with a sneer.Poor Fatty was slapped twice by the big beautiful cat and didn't know the secret of his baldness was exposed.

When everyone came out for dinner in the evening, Chen Yang heard Zhang Qiudao mention that shortly after the end of the Taoist Exchange Association, the Tianshi Mansion at the foot of the mountain will hold a lively Longhushan Taoist Cultural Festival, with many performances and the most popular Kongming Lantern session.

Chen Yang: "Kong Ming Lantern?"

Zhang Qiudao: "You can make Kongming lanterns by yourself, or you can buy them at the foot of the mountain. At that time, the residents of the whole town, tourists who come here for the name, and residents of other towns will come to release Kongming lanterns, praying for a safe and smooth year ahead. The teacher will also go to the Taoist Cultural Festival at the foot of the mountain for free to pray for blessings and relief from disasters."

Praying for good fortune and avoiding disasters is a very ancient and distinctive spell in Taoist culture. It has been recorded since the Zhou Dynasty. By praying to the gods, all disasters in the coming year will be quelled, life will be prolonged, and peace will be passed.In ancient times, the imperial court held the ritual ceremony, and the process was very complicated and extremely solemn, because it was related to the fate of the country, and it was usually to pray for the prosperity of the country and the people.

Nowadays, although many families of Celestial Masters still pass on the blessing and disaster relief, only the great family of Celestial Masters has a complete set of blessing and disaster relief and insists on holding it once a year.Longhushan Tianshi Mansion will hold a big sacrifice every year during the cultural festival to pray for blessings and avoid disasters.

So everyone was excitedly looking forward to this big feast, and Chen Yang went down the mountain to buy materials for making Kongming lanterns himself.People who moved back to the Zhongyao branch of Tianshi Mansion came to make their own Kongming lanterns, and Miao Miao, Hu Yingnan and others also found it very interesting, and they went to buy materials to make Kongming lanterns not to be outdone.

Chen Yang folded the white paper to draw a fold line, and said to Du Shuo who was standing beside him while drawing, "Pass me the scissors." Du Shuo handed him the scissors, and the latter took the cut along the drawn fold line. , asked while cutting: "Aren't you going to make one?"

Du Shuo shook his head: "No."

"Or I'll make one for you?"

"it is good."

Chen Yang was suspicious: "Are you waiting for me to do it for you?"

Du Shuo smiled and said, "Yes. I like anything you make for me, including the pig's head embroidered on the clothes."

Chen Yang folded the three cut pieces of paper, and when he heard the words, he smiled and reprimanded him for saying these things at a very old age. "Kaixuan is still here, so be careful what you say." Turning around, he looked for the paste, "Old Kou, hand me the paste."

Kou Xuanling was brushing the Kongming lantern with Lu Xiuzhi sweetly, and said, "I'm using it, you can find Zhang to ask for enlightenment."

Chen Yang looked at Zhang Qiudao, and found that he was a little restless, looking at his mobile phone in a daze.So he asked: "Seek the truth, are you sticking a Kongming lantern or a mobile phone?"

Zhang Qiudao suddenly came back to his senses only to realize that he almost put the paste on his phone, and smiled embarrassedly: "I was distracted." The fat man jumped on the table, trying to scratch his chin with his hind legs, despite his best efforts In the end, I can only scratch the air.But he pretended to scratch his chin, and purred with a comfortable expression. He shook his beard and said, "Mao Xiaoli said that blessings and disaster relief will come that night, and Zhang Qiudao is waiting for news."

"Oh!!" Immediately, there were booing and whistles.Zhang Qiudao threatened Fatty: "Baldhead, don't even try to grow your hair back." The hair was Big Fatty's Nilin, and it immediately jumped up to fight Zhang Qiudao to the death.

The rest of the crowd applauded and hid aside to watch the show, while Mao Xiaoying watched the scene with a smile.Mao Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Your sister is about to be abducted by wild boys outside, aren't you afraid?"

Mao Xiaoying: "My brother-in-law is not a wild boy, he has parents. And he is a good-looking, young talent, I am very satisfied." Mao Zhen rolled his eyes, saying that his elm-headed man would not take this opportunity to investigate Duoduo, but Mao Xiaoying only smiled gently: "As long as Xiao Li likes it."

Mao Zhen curled his lips and snorted.Then Mao Xiaoying asked him: "Twenty years must be difficult." Mao Zhen shrugged indifferently: "It's okay, I'm here."

"It's really hard work."

Mao Zhen couldn't help laughing, Mao Xiaoying's words were like a nonchalant exclamation from a bystander, a sympathy that seemed to reveal a little sense of superiority, which was more unbearable than bad words.He tilted his head unbearably and was about to sneer back, but he met Shang Mao Xiaoying's serious, sad and gentle eyes, like a clear spring in the mountains in summer, ding ding dong dong dong melodiously.Swallowing the ridicule back into his throat, Mao Zhen floated to the stone pillar beside him, looked at the scene of people playing in the distance and said, "It's okay."

All suffering, temptation, hatred and complaints are actually not as good as loneliness. Loneliness is like a drop of water on a cliff, drop by drop can break through a hard rock.When the time is so long that there is almost no hope, loneliness comes from all directions, and it will become a cliff and a waterfall that can easily shatter a firm belief.

Fortunately, they survived.

Mao Zhen wrinkled his face in disgust and disgust: "So I don't want to sing "Taishangdongxuan Lingbao Rescue Suffering and Escape Sin Sutra" anymore." The ghosts and grievances of the dead are almost to the point where you want to vomit.

Hearing this, Mao Xiaoying smiled gently and curved her eyebrows.

Chen Yang suddenly tilted his head and asked Du Shuo when he was dyeing and drawing the Kongming Lantern: "What do you want to draw on it? Or write something? I heard that the Kongming Lantern flies to the sky, and the higher it flies, the immortals in the sky can see it." The wish written on the Kongming Lantern may come true."

Du Shuo said without hesitation, "Fake."

Chen Yang immediately lowered his face.Feeling the crisis, Du Shuo quickly wrote and said: "I want to paint, and painting represents what I want to write." Chen Yang nodded in satisfaction, and said to his Kongming lantern: "Then I also paint. I don't look at you, you Don’t even look at me, just look at the difference in our paintings.”

"it is good."

Immediately, the two of them turned their backs and began to paint with their own pens.Du Shuo finished the painting first, and secretly turned around to watch Chen Yang's painting. When he saw the prototype outlined by the brush, he showed a heart-warming smile on his face.After Chen Yang finished painting, he admired it for a few seconds, and when he turned his head, he saw Du Shuo staring at him: "Did you finish the painting?"

"It's painted."

"Take it out and see."

Du Shuo showed him the Kongming Lantern. For comparison, the two painted the same emerald green ring-shaped object.Each has a gap, and together it is a pair.Chen Yang laughed: "We really have a good understanding." What they drew was the seal of Emperor Fengdu, the finger ring that was cut in half and used as a wedding ring.

At that time, when Du Shuo gave him the other half, it was the second day when they confessed their love to each other and officially became husband and wife.

Kou Xuanling moved his head closer and looked at the two unidentified objects painted on their Kongming lanterns in confusion: "What is this? A caterpillar? A caterpillar that is connected end to end and looks deformed?

Chen Yang smiled and let him go.Kou Xuanling laughed at him: "If the painting is ugly, don't let it be said."

"That's why you don't know."

"what reason?"

"The reason why my boss and I love each other."

When the Taoist Cultural Festival came, Chen Yang and his party came to the foot of the mountain, and among the crowd, they held their own Kongming lanterns and lit them, watching the Kongming lanterns slowly rise into the sky.The whole city is full of Kongming lanterns, and the orange light warms the sky above, bringing countless people's hope and expectation for the New Year.When everyone was looking up at the sky, they suddenly heard the clear and loud voices of the crowd, the joy of clanging gold and clanging jade like the joy of heaven.Afterwards, the spiritual sound filled the air and filled the ears, making the melancholy in countless people's hearts cleared away in an instant, filled with warmth and joy.

The Taoist prayer for disaster relief has already begun, and the people slowly poured into the Tianshi Mansion with the crowd, and the open space at the foot of the mountain gradually became empty.Under the protection of Du Shuo, Chen Yang was not pushed forward by the crowd, but leaned in Du Shuo's arms with peace of mind, and could kiss his chin when he raised his head.

Chen Yang pecked the corner of Dushuo's lips, and said softly: "After we go back this time, let's go to Dushuo Mountain. I want to see where you live."

Du Shuo: "Okay."
