Chinese Almanac Master

The timing of Ji Zai's appearance couldn't be more coincidental. Xiao Nanzhu, holding the calendar scripture, is waiting for such a clansman who can help him, so it's best to take this opportunity to recognize each other.

Originally, he was eager to understand what was said in the back of this calendar, because it not only related to the safety of the New Year's Eve that he was thinking about, but also related to the interests of many other calendar gods in the old yellow calendar. Regarding this, Xiao Nanzhu knew Ji Zai, who had already found the three gods in the clan, was naturally responsive to every request, and he would be there almost whenever he was called in the future, and under Xiao Nanzhu's request, he even sent the three gods from the clan The rumored text was sorted out bit by bit for Xiao Nanzhu to read and view.

Two or three weeks later, it will be Grain Rain. During this period of time, Ji Zaihe and Ji Zai will be responsible for the content of the construction, elimination, fullness, peace, stability, persistence, breaking, danger, success, collection, opening, and closing of the twelve gods. Xiao Nanzhu and the two sorted it out one by one. Although most of them were obscure ballads and witchcraft words, at least Xiao Nanzhu knew the meaning of every word. It is a pity that Ji Zai's education level is limited, although I know all the characters of my family, but I don’t know anything about medicine, weaving, mathematics and calendar, so I can’t do anything except help Xiao Nanzhu translate these characters. On the contrary, Xiao Nanzhu can easily call out everyone. The Almanac God's ability shocked him so much that he almost hugged his thigh and called him brother.

Xiao Nanzhu is actually quite puzzled about this matter, because everyone is the descendant of the ancient Han nationality, and it is unreasonable that Ji Zai, who is tall and burly, didn't understand anything. As a result, the boy bowed his head embarrassedly when he heard it Then he scratched his head in shame and explained.

The calendar has been lost since the Qing Dynasty. Although the ancient Han people who lived in seclusion in the mountains had a reputation, they lost the things that maintained their own cultural heritage.Hundreds of years ago, the big witches in the family could indeed attract the calendar gods, but that was all a matter of how many generations ago. Now, even some well-informed big witches would not be able to, let alone them Ordinary clansmen, now that these things have returned to Xiao Nanzhu by accident, this can be regarded as somewhat destined in the dark, but for this, Xiao Nanzhu took the initiative to tell Ji Zai that he wanted to transfer the calendar According to the original volume, both the Black Dragon Skeleton and Tai Sui returned to the Huaxia tribe.

He didn't pay much attention to these things, and the current situation of the Huaxia people described by Ji Zai was too miserable. If you think about it, the local economic development is probably not much different from that of many impoverished counties trapped in the deep mountains.Although he didn't grow up there, after all, his parents and relatives used to live there, so it's reasonable to do something for that place.

Although his parents are long gone, and the funny and strange-sounding real name doesn't touch him too much, but his hometown is his hometown after all, and he still has to go back and have a look if he has the chance.Ji Zai lost his job in City Y, and he really wanted to go back to his hometown after a while, but Xiao Nanzhu thought so in his heart, and wanted to bring this matter up with New Year's Eve by the way.

But for some reason, he couldn't find anyone on New Year's Eve these days, even though he had mentioned it to him before New Year's Eve, these few days he had to deal with some traditional calendar gods about the evil things related to the moon. , may not come out too often, but Xiao Nanzhu still feels a little unaccustomed to not seeing anyone for several days.

After the banquet at Shangsi last time, the mood on New Year’s Eve is obviously much better. From time to time, other calendar gods come to visit on the originally deserted calendar paper. Nian Beast feels relieved because of the enthusiastic feeding of the gods such as Lantern Festival, moon cakes, rice dumplings, and glutinous rice balls. The body has gained a lot of weight, making it look less majestic than a beast should have.

It just so happens that the moon is approaching, and the evil spirits are rampant, and on New Year's Eve, they can no longer spend leisurely time with Xiao Nanzhu like before. Regarding this matter, Xiao Nanzhu must have a big opinion, but he This person has no principles, he can't say anything when he sees New Year's Eve frowning and looking very embarrassed, even if his family's beautiful woman asks for his life, he doesn't care.

New Year's Eve knew in his heart that he was so considerate of his own calendar teacher. He was originally a rigid character who did not understand love, but now he was somewhat enlightened.In the past few days, the moon was approaching, and the number of evil spirits suddenly increased, so he had to take up some private time to discuss privately with several traditional calendar gods.Qingming felt that all of this was within reason, and it wasn't anything unusual. There were a lot of evil spirits at the end of the month, so she shouldn't have cared so much, but Hanshi and New Year's Eve were a little worried, after all, they were older than Qingming. , I would never treat this matter as an inconspicuous matter so casually. I took Nian Beast out a few times in private on New Year's Eve, but found that those evil spirits seemed to be gushing out from a strange source, and waiting After careful inspection, he found that the problem still lies in the original Binjiang Road Bridge project.

The mother snake is dead, and the sons and grandchildren of the snake have long been reduced to ashes. Xiao Nanzhu and him did a good job finishing the work, so there is no reason why there is still some evil left at the bottom of the river. There were evil spirits pouring out constantly, and he tried to investigate several times but found nothing unusual. Just when Xiao Nanzhu and Ji Zai were busy dealing with the calendar for a few days, he went to the old one with Hanshi on New Year's Eve. Under the Binjiang Bridge, who would have thought that in the darkness of night, those thousands of evil spirits crawled out of the river bottom like ghosts from hell. Even though New Year's Eve and Hanshi were forced to show up and kill them one by one, they still couldn't bear it. Less tossing, the body that had recovered a lot on New Year's Eve was directly polluted, and almost turned on the spot and hurt Hanshi.

"New Year's Eve!! New Year's Eve!!! You see who I am!! New Year's Eve!!"

Han Shi, dressed in dragon aura, dragged his unhealthy body, but the stern expression with full hair was also very intimidating. It's a pity that his divine power was far superior to his on New Year's Eve, and the blood-stained red dress set off the pair of hair Looking at the end of the red eyes makes people tremble with fear.Han Shi bit the bullet and fought with him for a long time. In the end, he had no choice but to summon Qingming to lose his sanity and almost killed his New Year's Eve uniform. Qingming was obviously very afraid of New Year's Eve, which had not been abnormal for a long time and now was once again polluted by evil spirits. Han Shi's face was pale but he still brought back the blood-covered New Year's Eve. When he got home, Xiao Nanzhu was still outside and hadn't come back yet, and New Year's Eve, who had regained his sanity for a short time because he was familiar with the abundant blessings in the room, looked at it blankly. Looking at the blood on his hands and body, he spoke to Hanshi and Qingming in a low hoarse voice as if begging for a while,

"Today's matter, you must keep it from the calendar teacher. The evil spirit that is infected this time is different from usual. Although I am awake for a short time now, I can't completely remove it..."

When he said this, New Year's Eve turned his face in embarrassment. What happened tonight was completely unexpected. Even he couldn't believe that with his divine power, he could be so easily taken over and turned into those evil creatures. puppet.Right now, he is covered in dirty blood, and the red clothes scattered on the ground are particularly shocking. Hanshi and Qingming, who have already had a good relationship with him on weekdays, seem a little afraid to approach him, and as long as he relaxes a little It will immediately turn into a dissolute, bloodthirsty monster, and thinking of this, a bleak smile evoked on New Year's Eve's white and miserable face.

"The anomaly at the bottom of the bridge will be checked after I recover. I just hope you don't tell the calendar master about it. What he hates the most... is my current appearance, please."

The situation on New Year's Eve was well covered by Cold Food and Qingming. Xiao Nanzhu only thought that he was still busy with his own affairs and didn't bother him. He didn't know what was going on on New Year's Eve, but there was something wrong in his heart. It just so happened that on the day of Gu Yu, there was an incident that made him put it aside for the time being. Seeing that it was clear outside the window, and there was an ominous sign in the sky, the thin man wearing only a houndstooth sweater was lazing by the window. Yangyang lit a cigarette.

"Oh, it doesn't rain in the Grain Rain, it's a bad omen, I'm exhausted to welcome the birth of this little saint..."

A woman's voice of reproach came from behind, and Xiao Nanzhu turned his head slightly to see the beauty who came out of the calendar wearing a pollen skirt, holding a paper umbrella with a painting of Misty Rain Jiangnan standing beside him.The umbrella is naturally full of rainwater that can usher in a good harvest, but at this time the female calendar god insisted on putting it away, so it was clear outside, and seeing Gu Yu's unhappy appearance, she specially asked her to come back today. Xiao Nanzhu, who just wanted to make the little sage come into the world as soon as possible to stop the rain, also grinned, walked up to her, narrowed his eyes and said,

"When the sage is born from the sage's mother's womb, you can play whatever you want. We can't let customers suffer when we charge money for work, right?"

"Master Li, of course what you said is what, how can I have any opinions..."

Turning his head with a very dissatisfied look, Gu Yu's temper is much more tricky than those little girls like Yuan Xiao and Chun Equinox, so naturally he won't be coaxed into compromise by Xiao Nanzhu with a few words. Holding it in his hand, Xiao Nanzhu pretended to cough deeply when he saw that the young lady didn't buy her own account when she came to work in the morning. Said jokingly,

"Then how do I make amends to God Lord?"

"Well... I want the calendar teacher to give me an allusion!"

As soon as he heard Xiao Nanzhu's words, he quickly opened his mouth. Gu Yu rolled his eyes, his almond eyes were full of passion and loveliness, very agile and pleasant, as if he had long been thinking about getting what he wanted from Xiao Nanzhu , so when Xiao Nanzhu took the initiative to talk to him, Gu Yu quickly opened his mouth, and Xiao Nanzhu, who was not surprised when he heard her words, nodded directly, and said clearly,

"I said, why do you keep picking on me? It turned out to be because of this. A few days ago when I was stunned, Laba and the others also came to ask for their own allusions and taboos. I also searched for them one by one. The girl's family can't talk properly..."

Deliberately prolonging the tone, Xiao Nanzhu looked at Gu Yu calmly with an awkward expression and just smiled. Gu Yu was a little annoyed and kept silent, but his cheeks couldn't help but blush. He smiled and walked to the side of the bookshelf.

The old pear wood shelf is full of translation notes that he copied the calendar by hand during this period, which is mixed with a large number of ancient Wu people's songs and legends, many of which have been lost in modern times.With the help of Ji Zai, Xiao Nanzhu sorted out these things one by one, but he didn't have time to check them carefully.Because most of the traditional story records are more or less related to the origins of the calendar gods, many calendar gods who have been passed down to the present but have long forgotten their origins cannot help but come to Xiao Nanzhu curiously , especially some solar terms that lack legends and allusions are extremely diligent, and Xiao Nanzhu is almost a hundred thousand why.

"How did they come here before? Are there any legends and allusions that I don't know about? Which prophet and sage gave me this name, Li Shili, have you found it?"

Gu Yu bit his lip and looked extremely anxious, Xiao Nanzhu flipped through the Gregorian calendar dates, and finally found the page that belonged to Gu Yu.Xiao Nanzhu lowered his head and glanced hastily, seeing that Gu Yu was staring straight at him a little funny, so he turned the handwritten calendar back and forth several times and muttered,

"Well, Grain Rain, it existed in the Spring and Autumn Period. Thousands of ancestors in ancient times gave you a name to bless the harvest and good solar terms. There is a folk story about Grain Rain avoiding scorpions. It says that in ancient times there was an unfilial son named Ji Sheng, the number one scholar in high school Later, she refused to recognize her own biological mother, Hu Shi, and killed her on purpose. Her mother turned into a poisonous scorpion, and stabbed the champion of the new family to death. Because it was Grain Rain that day, there is also an allusion that Grain Rain avoids scorpions..."

"Why is it such a sad and angry story! My name is Gu Yu and I have never heard of it! Teacher Li, are you lying to me!"

Hearing what Xiao Nanzhu said, his eyebrows immediately raised. These folk allusions are the earliest versions. It is only natural that Gu Yu can’t remember after such a long time. It’s a pity that this female calendar god has a temper. He insisted on taking a look for himself, how could Xiao Nanzhu make her rummaging around, so he hurriedly stopped her, but who wanted to touch like this, he knocked the things on the bookshelf to the ground, and accompanied by that An exquisite painting scroll placed by him fell to the ground. Xiao Nanzhu's eyes first fell on the gorgeous god in red, and then he inevitably saw the inscription in ancient characters that he had seen before, but Because of the angle, he seemed to see something different this time, and almost instantly, Xiao Nanzhu's face changed slightly.
