Taoist temple in the mountains

Chapter 288, Qingming

After returning to the Taoist temple, it was already close to noon, and the sun was strong.

Li Yun could clearly feel that the soul restraining technique blessed on the leash had completely disappeared, and the soul had already reported to the Department of Reincarnation.

"Congratulations to the host for getting 10 points of luck from the God of Fortune, 5 points of luck from the God of Shou, and 5 points of luck from the God of Prosperity."

Listening to the prompt message sent by the system, Li Yun quietly accepted the luck.

This luck turned into a little bit of essence, and entered into the dharma image behind him, and at the same time, a little bit of wish power belonging to the golden retriever also entered into the dharma image.

Suddenly, driven by this bit of willpower, the tree demon's obsession that originally existed in it seemed to be a little bit clearer, of course, only the first word was a little bit clearer, it still looked very blurry, and nothing could be seen. So come here.

"Yeah, it's still very vague." Li Yun looked at this word with a bitter expression on his face. There's only one word for damn, the ghost knows how many words there are in this thread of obsession. If an article is no less than A composition of [-] words will be severely punished.
After dispelling the image of the true self, Xiaobai descended from the sky and landed directly beside Li Yun with a twig in his mouth. Just like Ah Er and Ah Da, Xiao Bai was responsible for finding dry firewood every day and came back. Ah Da and Ah Er still have the labor force, so they can dig up some food and bring them back.

"Xiaobai! Come on, be happy!" Ah Er sticks out his little tongue, desperately throwing at Xiaobai's body.

Xiaobai is graceful and unfazed, and deftly dodges all of Ah Er's attacks. Ah Er continues to attack, and Xiaobai continues to dodge. Both sides know that the other party is playing with him.

Seeing Xiaobai and Ah Er who were playing around, Li Yun smiled slightly, feeling warm in his heart.

At this moment, pilgrims came in one after another, either going inside to worship, or wandering outside.

"Our Taoist temple is becoming more and more popular." The pilgrims who were sifting the fragrance of glutinous rice at the side were bursting with joy.

"It's the so-called fame effect. Judging from the miracle of Xiangtou Mountain and the real-name certification of the Taoist Association, this reputation is still a little bit, especially the number of pilgrims who contribute incense money is more and more." Li Yun smiled, since Hanxiang opened the door in the morning, he has collected a total of 3 incense coins, but what is worth complaining about is that these 3 incense coins were all contributed by Yuelao's portrait. How many desires and dissatisfaction are there in this world? The single dog trying to entrust his desire to find his other half on worshiping God, Li Yun just wants to say that it is useless to ask Yuelao, you are destined to be single
"By the way, little junior sister, what are you doing with these glutinous rice?" Li Yun looked at the fragrant glutinous rice, thinking that the glutinous rice should have been sent by the villagers to thank him, and he hadn't started eating it yet.

Han Xiang washed the glutinous rice, lowered her head, and said shyly, "It's for making wine."

"Glutinous rice? Wine making?" After thinking for a while, Li Yun suddenly realized: "Little sister, you want to make rice wine."

Rice wine is fermented with corn in the north, and glutinous rice is commonly used in the south. Li Yun looked at Hanxiang, and then thought about the half jar of Nurhong, and said a little embarrassedly.

"Junior Sister, could it be that Brother Shi blamed me for drinking half a can of Nurhong last time?"

Han Xiang quickly shook her head and said.

"No, this is the wine I want to make myself. Oh, you don't understand girls' affairs."

Hanxiang fled into the kitchen with a basket of glutinous rice.

Li Yun was in a daze, thinking that the rice wine had nothing to do with the girl's family.

After thinking for a moment, summing up for a while, he murmured.

"Well, it seems that my younger sister loves cooking and drinking rice wine, so she brewed it herself. I'm really envious. I can do things that I like about you."

Hanxiang is steaming glutinous rice in it. After the glutinous rice is steamed, it can be fermented, and you can start drinking it after a while, but this wine is the same as ordinary wine. The longer it is brewed, the more mellow the wine taste , the sweeter and sweeter it tastes.

At this time, a young man came in from the outside. This young man was wearing small glasses. He was gentle and handsome. It was Zhao Qiang.

Zhao Qiang was walking from the outside with big and small bags.

"Master Yun Guan!"

A cheerful voice came.

"Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun, God Zhao, don't come here without any harm." Li Yun looked at Zhao Qiang with a smile on his face, and he knew that he was sending something up from this posture. Since the last heavy rain incident, the villagers are also more grateful to Sanqing Watch, bring something up from time to time.

"Haha, Guanzhu Yun, you're welcome, come here, these are all made by the villagers." Zhao Qiang put down these things with a bold face.

These are in plastic bags that look like pastries.

Li Yun knows this thing, it is made of wormwood leaves, this thing is called [Ai Cake] in the local area, the wormwood leaves are mixed with glutinous rice flour, and then black sesame or peanuts are used as fillings, the taste is similar to rice cakes, but a little more The fragrance and bitterness that does not belong to the rice cake, this fragrance and bitterness is emitted by the mugwort leaves.

In previous years, the villagers would only make this stuff during the Ching Ming Festival.

"According to the days, it seems that Ching Ming Festival will be in a few days, time flies really fast." Li Yun muttered.

"That's right, these are made by the villagers for their own food during the Ching Ming Festival, so don't hesitate to eat them. This year, they have made a lot of them. In addition to eating them at home, offering sacrifices to ancestors, and worshiping the God of Xiangtou Mountain." Zhao Qiang said with a smile.

Worship to the mountain god of Xiangtou Mountain
Li Yun couldn't help complaining, it would be better to accept it for worship, anyway, both the genuine mountain god and the pirated mountain god are here
"Thank you very much." Li Yun didn't refuse Zhao Qiang's gift anymore, but it seemed hypocritical to keep refusing.

After chatting for a while, Zhao Qiang left in a hurry. He had a serious job, and he only came up to the mountain during his break.

Seeing Li Yun taking this huge pile of moi cakes, Han Xiang approached him curiously and said.

"This is Ai Cake. Is it the Ching Ming Festival? Should we hold some religious ceremony or something?"

"Ching Ming Festival, in fact, other Taoist temples of our Taoism have to practice rituals, but our Sanqing Temple doesn't need it. The most important thing is that we have not reached the scale that requires Qingming rituals." Li Yun smiled after putting the cake away Said: "Actually, to put it another way, whether it's Qingming Festival or Zhongyuan Festival, it seems that they are all festivals for the forgiveness of ghosts and souls, but these two festivals are also fundamentally different."

"What's the difference?" Hanxiang asked curiously.

"Hungry Ghost Festival, when the gates of ghosts are opened and local officials amnesty, but Qingming Festival is different." Li Yun said with a scientific face: "Qingming Festival, pay attention to the word [Qingming], which represents Qingming and Ming , the meaning of tranquility at the beginning of heaven and earth, for us, Ching Ming Festival is the most important thing."

"It's ancestor worship."
