Flavored candle shop

"It's going to be held today..." Hong Yao looked at the invitation letter with his name on it and asked, "Is there an event in Town God's Temple?"

Li Wu held a piece of milk tea wax, took a sip intoxicatedly, and then smiled: "Yes, there is a Town God Temple Fair tonight, Xuanzhen really couldn't think of any activities to arrange, so he decided to give it to him before the opening of the temple fair. The believers perform a ghost crossing~”

"Temple fair?" Fang Chong, who huddled on a small chair and watched Wangcai Ruyi stacking ingots, was a little strange, "Isn't there a temple fair every night in the Town God's Temple?"

Li Wu, who deliberately changed to a beautiful head, shook his index finger and said meaningfully: "Today is different from usual."

"The usual temple fairs are just gimmicks organized by merchants outside the Town God's Temple for the sake of customer traffic. The main content is food and shopping. Although it is called the Town God's Temple Fair, except for the name, it has nothing to do with our Town God's Temple."

"What about today's?" Fang Chong asked curiously.

"Today's temple fair is hosted by our Town God's Temple, and we are here to attend the fair..." Li Wu raised his eyebrows and smiled with boundless beauty, "That's a lot."

"You can go shopping. You can see a lot of strange things at the temple fair. It's very interesting."

Hongyao caught the key words of business opportunities, and his men paused as they wrapped incense candles: "Are there a lot?"

Li Wu affirmed: "A lot."

Hong Yao: "I will go...can I set up a small stall?"

Li Wu reaffirmed: "Yes, I will add your name to the list of vendors."

Hong Yao nodded his thanks: "Thank you."

"Ham, what's the matter, we are friendly partners!" Li Wu looked at Pei Ci and Fang Chong again, and warmly invited, "You guys also come to play together! The twice-yearly, authentic Town God's Temple Fair is definitely not to be missed! You can see a lot of things that you don’t usually see~”

"But theoretically, the second half of the street can only be entered with an invitation letter. You must follow Boss Hong closely when the time comes."

Fang Chong really wanted to ask, what do you mean by 'something you don't see on weekdays', but he was afraid that if he asked too clearly, he would persuade him before he went, and he would lose the favor of his boss, so he could only avoid the important thing and said lightly: "... What do you mean 'in theory' you can only enter with an invitation letter?"

"That is to say, as long as you are strong enough and fierce enough, you can take a tour group in for a short-distance shopping and overnight trip." Li Wu pouted in the direction of Hong Yao, and whispered, "Like Boss Hong...you just follow him Behind you, you can basically walk sideways in the back street."

Is this... so strong? !Fang Chong was startled.

Although I know that Boss Hong is very capable, but he is always too quick to act, and often things are resolved before his eyes and brain can react. Broken and broken...causing Fang Chong to have no concept of the "strong" of the red medicine.

Seeing Fang Chong's expression, Li Wu knew what he was surprised at. She could understand Fang Chong's psychology at this time: "It's strange why there is no so-called high personality?"

His mind was guessed, Fang Chong nodded subconsciously.

At least... at least the tall people don't wear flip-flops and big pants... right?

Li Wu sighed: "Student, you are still too young to see too many big scenes."

"This lack of high personality is the legendary high personality!"

"The real bosses are always hidden in the city!" Li Wu, a student with a story, gave an example in a passionate tone, "They either run a small incense candle shop in order to insist on inheriting the traditional handmade incense making skills. Or because of the graduation season It’s hard to find a job, so I simply find another way to step into the gate of metaphysics. Or I want to chase my boyfriend with both hands to fix the house, so I have to set up a metaphysics studio..."

"Like me and Abbot Xuanzhen, the job titles sound good, but they are actually civil servants in the underworld!" Li Wuyue said more and more angrily. The key is not to pay wages!"

"Is it so miserable?" Fang Chong suddenly thought, "Isn't there no City God in your City God Temple? How could it be like this..."

Li Wu sighed while sucking milk tea: "There is no City God, there are higher-level leaders of the underworld, and there are too many little leaders of ghosts and gods in the City God Temple, such as civil and military judges, generals of cattle and horses, generals of shackles, day and night wandering gods... last time When you came, they happened to go to the underworld to participate in the study conference of 'On the Effective Development of Underworld Work in the New Era', so I didn't meet you."

Fang Chong: "..."

You underworld civil servants are quite studious.

After chatting with the beautiful girl for a while, the tension and panic in Fang Chong's heart eased a lot. Chen Ken asked Li Wu's name, and planned to buy some incense candles for her at Boss Hong's place later, thanking her for helping him. Popular science to solve doubts.

Li Wu forgot that she changed her head today, and her face is completely different from the last time we met: "My name is Li Wu, didn't I say that when we first met in Chenghuang Temple last time? I forgot it so quickly, brother, your memory is really not very good like."

Fang Chong, whose memory was forced to fail, silently digested the huge and weird information in Li Wu's words for a while, and was really surprised in patience, and asked in a low voice: "Miss Li Wu, may I ask, are you... Huapi? "

That legendary magical ghost!The resident npc in novels, movies and TV dramas!

"No." Li Wu glanced at Fang Chong, and said nonsense in a serious manner, "I am a 'head-changing ghost' one level higher than Huapi! My body has no head. In order to complete myself, I have been On the way to find a beautiful head."

"The biggest characteristic of our ghosts is that they change their heads according to their mood and occasion. When they are happy, they change their heads to be beautiful, when they are angry, they change their heads to hide scars, and when they are sad, they change their heads to red eyes and tails, which are pitiful and tearful..."

Fang Chong: "!!!"

The underworld is full of wonders!

Li Wu: "..."

This brother won't believe it?

"Let's go." After packing up all the stall products, Hong Yao couldn't wait to go to the urban management temple fair to make money.

Li Wu was moved by his urgency, and his interest was also high: "Let's go! Finish the Dushan Dojo as soon as possible and go to the temple fair as soon as possible!"

When mentioning the dojo, Hong Yao suddenly remembered that there was a hundred-year-old kid in his shop waiting to be released.

"Avalokitesvara slave."

With the call of the red medicine, the people covered with wallpaper instantly rustled like the wind sweeping a bamboo forest. After a while, one of the paper people with black hair and long sleeves floated down and turned into a long-haired beauty in mid-air. Hou Rourou bowed to everyone.

Hong Yao said to Li Wu: "Today we will add another ghost to the Taoist Dojo, we bring our own incense candles, okay?"

"Okay, okay!" Li Wu agreed quickly and decisively, and even had a hint of surprise, "Young lady is so beautiful and special! The name is also very nice! She must have been dead for many years, right? Have you ever planned? Do you want to reincarnate or stay in the world to accumulate virtue? Would you like to..."

Avalokitesvara looked at Li Wu's mouth which kept opening and closing, and couldn't find a chance to reply for a while, so she could only fall into silence gracefully.

……

Outside the main hall of Chenghuang Temple, there is a large open space square, where any activities in the temple will be held, and the same is true for today's Duyan Dojo.

When Hong Yao and the others arrived, there were already many people around the square, most of them gathered together to talk in twos and threes, and there were also old people who looked like believers or solemnly kowtowed to the god statue, or chatted softly with the Taoist priests in the temple... Dusk Coming soon, a lively scene.

After waiting for a while, the Dojo Dojo is about to start.

It can be seen that Chenghuang Temple attaches great importance to this event. Almost all the Taoist priests in the temple are dispatched, sitting on both sides of the long table offering incense, flowers, lights, water, and fruits. Ancestral tablet, on the altar there is a statue of Taiyi saving the god of suffering, the three useful high-gong seats hang the portraits of ghost kings, and there are incense tables on both sides in front of the seats, enshrining the portraits of Yan Jun in the ten halls...

After everything was ready, Taoist Priest Xuanzhen, who was wearing a purple cassock embroidered with the sun, moon, and stars, began to summon souls. Following his resounding sound of reciting the list, the ghosts of Changqing Mausoleum who had been waiting outside the Town God's Temple floated into the square one by one.

I don’t know what they were thinking, but they would rather go around in circles in such a big square and enter from Hongyao’s side, and they had to line up one by one to bow to him and thank him, and then they floated happily to the altar to enjoy themselves That incense.

The boy next to Hong Yao who was holding a mobile phone and video chatting with his girlfriend had already sneezed more than a dozen times in a row. The girl on the other end of the video was chattering worriedly, asking the boy not to stand in the wind and take pictures in another place...

Avalokitesvara has been sent into the dojo by Li Wu, and is currently communicating with Wu Chen friendly, Hong Yao glanced back at the ghosts waiting in a long line behind, thought for a moment, and simply exited the crowd.

"Stop watching the ceremony?" Pei Ci followed Hong Yao and left the crowd in the square.

Red Medicine: "This kind of dojo lasts for two or three hours, and there is nothing to see."

"Yeah! That's it! There's nothing to see!" As the dojo progressed, Fang Chong, who had already spotted a lot of 'ceremony observers' whose bodies were looming and whose heels were not touching the ground, nodded quickly.

It's too 'crowded' over there... and it's not like they haven't seen ghosts eating fragrant wax, so it's better not to join in the fun.

It was getting dark, and when the three of them walked out of the gate of the Town God's Temple, they just saw the lights on the roadside and the street light up one after another.

Because of his health, Pei Ci lived a regular life since he was a child, and this was the first time he saw such a scene. Looking at the bustling long street full of people and hawkers, he asked Hong Yao in a good mood: "Boss Hong plans to Where is the stall?"

This section is a "Chenghuang Temple Fair stall" set up by nearby businesses to create an atmosphere and attract customers. Without a business license, it is not allowed to set up a stall.

Red Medicine: "Don't worry, you will find a suitable place naturally when you walk around."

As soon as the words fell, the long street full of lights in front of them suddenly seemed to be covered in thick fog. After a few breaths, the fog cleared again, but the long street was not the long street they saw just now.

Lanterns are still hung, but the light emitted from those white paper lanterns is dim and dim.

It was still lively, but without enthusiasm and vitality, only ghostly whispers, and occasionally a few shrill screams could be heard.

Suddenly there was a huge old willow tree at the intersection, and when I looked back, I couldn't find the Town God's Temple where they came from.

Fang Chong looked at the pale scarf streamers flying automatically in the absence of wind on the old willow tree, swallowed nervously, and asked sincerely, "Hong... Boss Hong, are you eloquent?"

On the fluttering white cloth banner, two black and red distorted characters were drawn bloody with paint of unknown material and bad color - Back Street.
