When Xie Lingya came back from the city government, she saw that the atmosphere seemed a bit wrong. The small amount and Zhang Daoyu did not say anything, and the expression on her face was slightly nervous. The side of the long-term hangs at the sight of peace, almost carefully, but it seems to be even colder.

"...what is this?" Xie Lingya originally wanted to greet them to start, and could not help but ask.

Zhang Daoyu is also very embarrassed. He just said that Xie Lingya has been chanting to see how the brother Xie has not returned yet. Suddenly he found that Shi Daochang did not speak, and the cold was terrible.

Zhang Daoyu feels related to Xie Shixiong, and he looks at Xie Lingya.

Xie Lingya was looked at a few more eyes, and he smiled a little. "Is it blaming me for coming back late? Shi Changhang has made an appointment with everyone, hey, I don't know how long it has been lined up, I apologize, my Wrong my fault."

Can be used to hang or not talk, this next Zhang Dao and a small amount is even more embarrassing, Zhang Daoyi still feels that something is wrong, is not a moment to say, Xie Lingya is also a little uneasy.

For a long while, Shi Changhang was a bit stunned: "...not your fault, I made a mistake."

Shi Changhang did not know if they heard it, but his own nephew was very tight, and he said that he had spent a great deal of effort in the latter half of his sentence.

Yeah, how could this incident be the fault of Xie Lingya, obviously he made a mistake.

"What's wrong? Is the time wrong? Is it still starting to leave?" Xie Lingya asked. He found that Shi Changhang seemed to stare at himself, and it was a very subtle look.

"... let's go." Shi Chang suspended his eyes and whispered two words. He has no position to blame others, and he can't even reveal his feelings.

"Well, I have a backpack." Xie Lingya said that she went into the room. He and Shi Changhang's room.

After the mistake is made, can you get rid of it anyway?

Shanglu Shen: "You are really..."

Shi Changhang: "Shut up."

Shanglu Shen did not dare to speak.

......

Xie Lingya felt that Shi Chang’s mood was not very good. There were not many words in the original, and now it is more serious. They are sitting on the bus, and when they are hanging up, they sit alone.

Xie Lingya originally thought that it might be to take care of the small amount and let the two of them sit together, but then he tried to talk with Shi Chang, and the long hanging was also a faint look. Not long ago, Xie Lingya and Shi Changhang said that now the smile has become more, and how to get back to the original shape.

So suddenly, is there any problem at home? Xie Lingya saw that he closed his eyes and raised his spirits. He did not want to say more. He had to let him calm down.

Shi Changhang really does not want to say more, and does not want to see Xie Lingya, he is afraid that he will leak emotions.

The bus took more than three hours to arrive in the neighboring city, and then took the shuttle bus to the county seat, which is the county.

The ethos of "Anjiatang ancestor ancestors" in Jixian County is very heavy. The family is also the house where the ancestors were placed. It can also refer to the ancestors, so many people say that "the family" is actually the ancestor.

Many villages in the county have formed a group of villages, as well as the total family church, which is the ancestral hall of the village.

Shi Changhang contacted the visit, which is a village with many years of age. Fengping Village, the majority of the village is surnamed Pang. The history can be traced back to the Ming Dynasty. There are many old buildings in the village. The temple still maintains the style of a hundred years ago. .

Shi Chang suspended in the car and contacted the village director. After getting off the bus, a middle-aged man of forty years old waited for them at the station. He came up and shook hands with Shi Chang. "Teach classmates, hello."

"Director Pang." Shi Changhang also greeted and listened to the names of the two of them. Director Pang did not know that Shi Changhang was a Taoist.

"These two are your classmates." Director Pang heard that Shi Changhang said that he had two more people. He thought he was his classmate and said, "Go, go home. Right, because of the ancestor, the village is a lot." People are back, the accommodation is tight, and the three of you may have to squeeze in a house."

"Yeah. I am in trouble." There is no hotel next to Fengtou Village, and accommodation can only be like this. Fortunately, none of them are critical people.

Director Pang brought them to his home. His house is also very old. There are four mottled words on the threshold: Xing has no capital.

A small amount of looking up, "Thank you... thank you, what is this idiom?"

He didn't dare to call the teacher, and later let Pang misunderstood. I have just walked all the way, and I have seen some old houses with words on the threshold, but they are all cultivating people, quiet and far away.

Xie Lingya took a look. "This is an idiom, very old and very difficult, but with your academic qualifications, you should be able to understand it."

A small amount of guilty confession: "I don't know much about ancient Chinese." I lost money in the absence of culture, and I went to high school. Now I have to look at ancient books and it is very expensive. I have to check.

Xie Lingya: "Stupid, nothing is not productive, capital is capital!"

Small amount: "..."

Director Pang laughed happily. "I didn't respond to it for a while. This is the word that my grandfather shoveled the original words decades ago."

A small amount of scratching his head, I am embarrassed to say: "Yes..."

Xie Lingya stole a glance, Shi Changhang still did not laugh, he knows that Shi Changhang now sees a funny joke, but also can not laugh.

Director Pang has a son and a daughter. He married early and both of them went to college. This time he was called back to participate in the corpse. But when they arrived at Director Pang, his children went out to play.

At the director of Pang, he sat down and gave Shi Changhang three people to explain the origin of the corpse sacrifice in the county. "This custom has been suppressed in the past, and you know it. But this custom is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so it quickly recovered. And, now, I don’t say any superstition. This, this also applies for intangible cultural heritage.

"The whole county, there are more than a dozen teachers and public classes, that is, the host of the ghosts, not only the ancestors, but also some activities such as offering sacrifices to God and blessing, they are also coming."

Shi Chang was hanging around to take notes, he also took the camera and took photos.

The corpse sacrifice is an ancient name, and the rituals passed down can be called the corpse sacrifice and take its righteousness. The local form of Jixian County is called the ghost head. The core is to use the witch as the "corpse" for the sacrifice of future generations.

"I have an uncle, and I will also make a ghost face shell, so I have been exposed to these people since I was a child, and I have a clearer understanding of the rules inside." Director Pang smoked a cigarette and recalled, "Our day of sacrifice, we must divination in advance. In order to determine the time and scale of the event, and the divisions I know are very traditional, they are all divined with turtle shells. Then three days before the sacrifice of the ancestors, these teachers will fast, calm and rejuvenate at home.

"When I was a child, we lived in a teacher's office. Some people often asked him to do things. Every time we passed his door, I didn't dare to disturb. The teacher was really a little mysterious. Once I asked the next county to do something, 掐I ask his ancestors to come to enjoy the sacrifices. When I go to the main family, Zeng Zu, the teacher of the public team said that I don’t know why, the old people never come.

"This teacher has a good reputation, ask the main family, is there a problem with your ancestors' legs? He has inconvenient legs and legs, so he can't come unless he uses a carriage to go. Please, the great family's great-grandfather once broke his leg and left Disability, death is also early, even the main family was listening to his grandfather when he was a child. Then they changed the spell and sent the carriage to the old man."

In all fairness, Director Pang's eloquence is very good. He doesn't know how many times he has said this story. When the answer was revealed, the tone was particularly a bit suspenseful.

Unfortunately, the response was not very satisfactory. Shi Changhang took notes in a cold and indifferent manner. Xie Lingya and Xiaoliang first had no expression. After a while, they reacted and held the venue: "This teacher is a person with real skills, really!"

Director Pang was a little depressed, but he quickly figured it out. "Hey, you will study this and you must have heard more and more mysterious things."

Everyone laughs and doesn't speak.

"Right, is it necessary to watch fast?" Director Pang said. "I have been greeted with the teacher. I can go to the home of the class today and take a picture. His family is in the next door and drive for ten minutes."

Director Pang drove and took them to the master class of the teacher in the next door.

The wife of the class leader received them and said, "He is reading a book. You can go to the door and see."

Xie Lingya took a small amount, and compared him with a snoring gesture, he nodded in a small amount.

Several people walked to the door of the study. The house was also an old-fashioned building. The roof was high, the windows were high, and the room was not very bright. It was much better after the lights were installed.

This place is said to be a study, it is better to say that the teacher is specialized in "cultivation". There are seven or eight wooden masks on the wall. The teacher just sits at the table and looks at a yellowed book. When he heard someone coming, he looked up and looked at it. Because Director Pang had greeted him in advance, he was not surprised. He just nodded and continued to read his book.

Shi Changhang only nodded, and then took a few photos quietly. In the car, Director Pang had explained to them the precautions during the fasting period, so he didn't have to ask the teacher himself.

Xie Lingya’s gaze lingered on the wooden masks. These wooden ghost heads painted the hair of the facial features with pigments, and the corners of the mouth slightly tilted, symbolizing the kind and amiable ancestors.

There are also some expressions that are more majestic, probably the ghosts that represent the gods.

Probably because of the aesthetic style, no matter which one, the blush on the cheeks is particularly heavy, and a layer of varnish is applied, which looks like the face is shiny.

After the sequel was finished, they came out of the house and said in a small amount: "If I look at the mask alone, I feel like singing, but in the house, I feel particularly mysterious."

"Psychological effect." Xie Lingya said, the teacher can please God, but the mask is not attached to the soul every moment.

......

Returning to the home of Pang Director of Fengping Village, Xie Lingya found that there were three young people in the room, two men and one woman. One male and one female and the director Pang were quite similar. They should be his children, another young man holding a selfie stick. There is a mobile phone on the top, and I am in the yard.

When Director Pang saw it, he greeted him: "Two black, what circle do you turn, the dog bites its tail."

"Seven Uncle!" The young man almost didn't pick up. "Don't call me two black!"

Director Pang was happy. "Why, the people in the city want to face, and the two blacks are not allowed to call. This is not what your grandmother gave."

Director Pang’s son said: “Dad, two...Jie Ge is on the air!”

“Is it?” Pang went over and looked at Pang Jie’s mobile phone screen. The small lines in the top row filled the screen. “Hey, you seem to be calling you to shoot them. ”

He looked back and saw a long line of hanging, yes, the screen said that the lens is facing them.

Pang Jie: "..."

"Today's live broadcast is here first. I will broadcast live the village feudal superstitions tomorrow." Pang Jie said, simply shut the live broadcast room.

Director Pang immediately stared at him. "What did you just say?"

"Tomorrow is not to open the house of worship, I am going to broadcast it." Pang Jie said a lot. "Netizens seem to be interested in this superstitious activity."

Director Pang was unhappy and said: "It’s a big deal to sing the ancestors."

"Then how can they shoot, I have heard it, they are also coming to shoot the ghosts." Pang Jie looked at Shi Chang hanging them, "I am still surnamed Pang."

"People are doing academic research, and they have already said hello to the teacher, and they have been divined." Director Pang has been very gentle before, but this time he is very tough. "It is not allowed anyway. You have opinions to ask your father to come. I."

"Oh, forget it, I will go back first." Pang Jie said, swaying out.

Director Pang looked at him again. He was very helpless. He said to the three people: "His grandfather and my dad are cousins. When he was a child, he moved to the city. Only when he returned from the festival, the young people in our village still treated the family. Very respectful."

He had only recently introduced with Shi Chang, and he attached great importance to the ancestral activities in the family. He also came back from the outside world. This is a negative example.

Shi Chang suspends. In fact, there is nothing to explain. In this era, the prevalence of such a trend as Jixian is a minority situation. Most Chinese people are no longer able to provide homes at home. Even Qingming’s graves are getting less and less. Many people may go there once in a few years.

Then they wandered around the village and chatted with some old people.

The family opened the next day. In the evening, the three people were eating at the director's house. They didn't have much entertainment. They slept earlier. Pang's family packed up a room for them. There is only one bed in the room, but the bed is large, it is an old-fashioned wooden bed, and three people are too crowded to sleep.

A small amount sleeps on the innermost side, Xie Lingya sleeps in the middle, and Shi Changhang sleeps on the outside.

"Good night." Xie Lingya turned his head and said something.

Shi Chang suspends to turn off the light, and then sleeps in this position against Xie Lingya.

Xie Lingya: "??"

Everyone slept for so long, and the first time they hanged their backs and slept on him. Not to mention, Xie Lingya has developed so many new habits, which really do not include the long hanging back and the back of the head, he is too strange to the back of the head.

However, Xie Lingya thought, it is not good to let Shi Chang suspend it, it is too strange. So, Xie Lingya fell asleep with a hint of silence.

On the contrary, it was back to Xie Lingya's long hanging, almost no sleep at night, he had been intentionally or unintentionally hiding from the sight of Xie Lingya during the day, the visual line escaped, and the image in his heart was still so clear.

He clearly knows that the wrong one should be corrected. If the long-standing self-control is not strong, it is impossible to cultivate the Taoism to this point, but...

.

The next day, Xie Lingya climbed up early in the morning, watching Shi Changhang still sleeping, thinking that this is rare, I am hanging earlier than Shi Chang. Hey, this is a bit cyan under the eyes.

Xie Lingya quietly touched Shanglu Shen and asked: "Little cute, what happened to your master?"

Shi Changhang called Shanglu Shen to shut up yesterday, and Shanglu Shen was stunned. After he finished, he regretted it. At this time, Xie Lingya asked, and he shy and sighed and said: "Flip the car."

Rollover? Xie Lingya said it, wow, is it that the Tao has failed, and the psychological can't accept it. When Shi Changhang looked at it, he was more self-respecting. When he was a child, he might be the kind of person who made a mistake and solved a hundred questions.

No wonder, it's no wonder that the mood is so bad, and I don't want to see Xie Lingya – whoever fails, is especially reluctant to see Sponge.

Xie Lingya shouted: "Let him want to open, who will roll over, I also turned over."

Shanglu Shen: "Hey."

It’s a coincidence that it’s hard to be self-forbidden, and I’m worried about it. When I hit it, I had a serial car accident. I fell into a long-shouldered body. It’s really sad, and the listener is crying.

Xie Lingya heard its weird laughter: "??"

Later, Shi Chang woke up, Xie Lingya felt that he was very caring for himself, and he also cut an apple.

Shi Chang suspended the apple and licked it. He just gave birth to a little other thought in his heart. He also saw Xie Lingya licking a grapefruit and handing it to a small amount. "Come, the weather is dry, eat more fruits."

Shi Changhang: "..."

......

At the time of the sacrifice, Shi Changhang and his party followed the director of Pang to the general family. At this time, a lot of people had gathered, and the people in the teacher's class arrived early, and they were preparing in the house. This is not allowed to shoot.

The ancestral hall has been arranged for fresh and clean offerings on the table.

There are about seven or eight people in a teacher's class. After the ceremony begins, there are jobs, some singing, and some wearing masks.

Welcoming the ancestors to the "corpse" body, there are specific objects, a total of three pairs of ancestors, ancestors, Gaozu and Zengzu.

The two divisions wore a mask of a man and a woman, and they wore a special ancient robes and sat on two tall stools.

Xie Lingya whispered: "How high."

"Since the pre-Qin Dynasty, the ‘corpse’ in the ritual is ‘the superior’.” Shi Chang’s hanging eyes did not return to the ground. They stood by and took pictures.

The people in Fengping Village listened to the arrangement of the teacher and worshipped them below. The two ancestors who had played the ancestors invited the ancestors and talked with the descendants.

After the ancestor was Gaozu, and the two were seated, and the mask was another pair.

After the worship, the ancestors had to enjoy the sacrifices and put the sacrifices in front of them, asking them to eat a meal. The other villagers looked down and waited for the ancestors to finish eating. They could go and share some of the rest.

Xie Lingya inadvertently swept the person next to him and saw Pang Jie who had seen it yesterday. He also came to the scene without a selfie stick, but with one more on his neck, a mobile phone case and his mobile phone. .

Xie Lingya slightly frowned, in general, only go out to play will deliberately hang mobile phone sets, so as not to lose the phone, everyday seems to be always strange.

Mainly yesterday, Pang Director said Pang Jie, he is not allowed to broadcast live, so Xie Lingya will have doubts.

Pang Jie did not pay attention to Xie Lingya's eyes. He stood in the first two rows and looked at the ritual in front of his head.

The "high grandmother" of the main family picked up a plate of chicken and smelled it under the nose, as if it was very coveted. The people under the head also laughed, but the laughter was very kind. Many teachers would deliberately say something funny, which would have a family atmosphere.

"Grandmother" tore the chicken legs and put them to the bottom of the mask to eat.

A few people screamed in their hearts. "Grandmother" was very gentle in previous years. How did you get started this year? Is it because of changing a teacher, or is it that "high grandmother" is not very good at the bottom?

And the grandfather was also very exaggerated, and it was stuffed into the mouth under the mask.

Don't say them, the other divisions next to a class are also surprised, but they are confused and don't say anything.

Xie Lingya, they thought that the customs here are like this, and they also eat so much original colors.

At this time, the "high grandmother" suddenly stopped, and waved to the next one, "Pang Jie, come over."

Pang Jie stunned, "Call me?"

"Grandmother" nodded, "Come on."

Is there this one in the ceremony?

But this is all presided over by the teacher. Is it that Pang Jie’s family has extra money and asked the ancestors to bless?

Pang Jie wanted to ask his father, but he didn't find a figure. He didn't come back to the toilet. He walked up and confused, and he played with the phone hanging on his chest. The "high grandmother" took a sip of meat out, then turned the meat over and saw several pieces of melon seeds on the plate.

"Grandmother" picked up his arm and slaps a palm on Pang Jie's face. "You are not a filial son, you even spit the melon skin inside the sacrifice!"

Everyone is ashamed, and death is like a matter of life. At this time, the teacher is the true ancestor. The sacrifices given to them must be fresh and clean. Does this Pang Jie dare to spit the seeds?

Pang Jie's mother is not Fengping Village. She screamed and ran over: "What do you do, my family Xiaojie didn't touch it, how could I spit melon skin, and I can't beat you!"

"Pang Jie Ma, this is not the case, worshipping the family is a big event! How can you not respect the ancestors!"

Some people even objected, and even felt that playing well, what is going on with melon seeds.

"Nonsense, is it because you want to ask someone to beat your family?" Pang Jie’s mother groaned and grabbed the collar of the "high grandmother" and took the man off the high stool.

"Grandmother" lowered his head and said: "He didn't spit it today. He sneaked in the early morning, and he slipped in."

Pang Jie looked at him stunnedly. He did sneak up and took a photo. He was licking the seeds. He didn't pay attention to a few pieces on the plate, but he obviously remembered that there was no one at that time.

I know that he spit, and I know what time it was. Where did this person look at it?

Some people are playing round games. It is one thing to play well, but it is true that the teacher is to worship the ancestors. The ancestors hope that the ancestors will protect their children and grandchildren. How can they want to see such scenes?

From this point of view, the teacher should not be beaten, speech education is still almost the same, may be eating melon skin is too angry, had to mix with mud.

"Forget it, the teacher can educate it, continue to eat, change dishes."

"Why do you forget this?" "Grandma" whispered and slowly raised his head.

Pang Jie only saw the mask of the ghost facing him. Because of his posture and angle, he only saw it on the spot:

Originally, the mouth was slightly tilted, and the face was kindly masked. At this time, it was a big mouth, a smile that was very cheerful, and it was very stiff because of the immutability. The dark eyes were very strange, and the varnish on the face was bright and shiny. The group’s original festive blush also added a bit of weirdness...

The inside of the house resounded the scream of Pang Jie: "Ah--"

At the same time, his mobile phone screen is also full of barrage:

"Ah, ah, terrible!"

"The mask is just not the expression -"

"My mother is scared of urine!"

"Mom's anchor must be arranged hype, tricks, but scared me!"

The next moment, the screen slammed and shattered.
