Liang Yuanyuan advised from the side, "Mom, don't get excited, aren't we discussing this with you?"
The old lady said, "Is this a discussion? If you listen to his tone, you will have to leave the house immediately. Let me tell you, if you give up on this idea, my eldest grandson will count on Baojiaxian to protect you."
Zhang Qionnian said, "Okay, you said that the child is counting on the protection of the Baojiaxian, so let me ask you, except for the first few months after the birth, has your grandson not been sick for more than a month?"
After hearing what he said, the old lady was speechless.
Zhang Qionnian continued, "Also, Baojiaxian protects this family. Ask your son if he is better than before since he left this church?"
Hao Yunfei said, "Okay? What's the benefit? What I'm doing is not going well now, and I still want to protect the family immortal. We don't know what to protect anymore."
Zhang Qiaonian said, "Also, aunt, even if the person you offer is really Baojiaxian, let me ask you: Baojiaxian is all destined to have a fate. Did you declare the name of the immortal family on the hall list yourself or did the previous immortal write it for you? ?”
The old lady asked with confusion, "What's the name?"
Zhang Qiaonian said, "You are offering sacrifices to Baojiaxian. At least you have to know who you are offering sacrifices to, right? You can't just write down two names and just offer sacrifices, right?"
The old lady said, "I don't know either. The great fairy from before gave me a piece of yellow paper and I offered it to him. I don't know who they are."
Zhang Qiongnian said, "Take me to see it. You will know after reading it in a while."
The old lady seemed to have figured it out at this time, and took Zhang Qionian to her own room.
Zhang Qionian's head was blown when he saw the decoration in the room.
There is an altar table in the corner of the room. Next to the altar table is the old lady's bed. You can guess from the pillows that the old lady sleeps with her head facing the direction of the altar table every day.
Zhang Qiongnian said, "Auntie, who asked you to arrange this?"
The old lady said, "No one asked me to arrange it like this. I just thought that this house is not big to begin with. Isn't it saving space if I arrange it like this?"
Zhang Qiongian sighed and said, "Auntie, you really don't understand. You are doing this to protect the family immortal. What's the difference between doing this and supporting yourself?"
The old lady asked, "What do you mean? Is this wrong?"
Zhang Qionnian said, "But it's so wrong. I'll be honest, don't mind it. According to your age, you should know how people pay tribute when they just die at the wake, right?"
The old lady said, "It means putting the person on the wooden bed, then placing the tribute incense burner bowl on top of the head, and pouring rice. The incense cannot be cut off during the few days of the wake."
Zhang Qionian said, "Don't you see that you understand quite well? Why are you so confused now?"
The old lady asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhang Qionnian said, "Why don't you understand? You see that you usually sleep with your head facing the altar table. This altar table is lit with incense. Do you think it is for you or for Baojiaxian?"
The old lady slapped her thigh and said, "Hey, young man, look at me, I'm really stupid. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't even notice. I'm cursing myself to die early."
Zhang Qionian thought to himself that if this arrangement had not been made, this old lady might not have reached her birthday so early.
Although he thought so in his heart, he still said consolingly, "I didn't know it was so serious. Besides, why are the sheets in your house covered with cloth?"
The old lady said, "This is just what the great fairy told me before, saying that Baojiaxian and Chumaxian are different. Baojiaxian likes to be clean. If you don't find a piece of cloth to cover it, the children's usual noises will easily disturb the fairy family. Qingxiu.”
Zhang Qionian said, "Then you should find a piece of red cloth. This small floral cloth is bright, but it is of no use."
With that said, Zhang Qionian walked up to the table and lifted up the small piece of floral cloth.
After reading the pamphlet, Qiao Nian couldn't hold it in any longer and burst into laughter.
"Come, come, come. Take a look at what you are offering."
At this time, Liang Yuanyuan, his wife and the old lady came over.
When she saw the name on the list, the old lady opened her mouth and cursed, "You bastard, isn't this nonsense? Is it because I have been offering these things for so long?"
In fact, there wasn't much on the list, just some names. But I don’t know if the previous Da Xian’er was a fan of Journey to the West. If you take any name on the list, you can find a corresponding person in Journey to the West.
There is no need to think about the four like Monk Tang, Monkey King Monkey King, Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha, they are definitely in there.
Some of the more outrageous ones include the One-Horned Si King, the Golden-Horned King, the Silver-Horned King, the Pingtian Great Sage, and the Golden-winged Dapeng Eagle.
This is okay, after all, they are all mounts of the gods in the sky, and Zhang Qiaonian can bear it.
The ones who made him laugh the most were Liuxiaolingtong, Chi Chongrui, Ma Dehua and Yan Huaili.
You heard me right, these are the four actors. Let me make it clear first that I am not making a joke here. There are real actors whose names are written on the list.
After all, the CCTV version of Journey to the West is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Haven't you heard that the actor who played the Jade Emperor has been printed on the underworld coin?
Even now when I go to some remote rural areas, some elderly people offer photos of gods such as Guanyin Bodhisattva and Tathagata Buddha, and many of them are the appearance of Zhu Longguang and Zuo Dabin in Journey to the West.
Let's get back to business. The first person to speak when he saw the name on the list was Hao Yunfei.
"Mom, look what you are offering?"
The old lady felt a little embarrassed when her son said this, and said in a low voice, "The great immortal said not to lift this piece of cloth, for fear of sparing the immortal family's Qingxiu."
Hao Yunfei went out angrily.
The old lady said, "Young man, it's okay to provide these. The mounts of gods are also gods."
Zhang Qionnian said, "Auntie, although many gods in Journey to the West are real, it is just a novel after all, so it is understandable. Just like the List of Gods, many people's understanding of gods now comes from these two books, but this Not everything written in the two books is true."
Liang Yuanyuan also said at the side, "Yes, Mom, these are all written in the novel, and you see there are actors' names written on them."
The old lady said, "How about I hire a new Baojiaxian?"
Zhang Qiaonian shook his head, "No, I've made it very clear to your daughter-in-law that your family has no fate. You can't invite her if you insist on it. Even if you invite her, you won't do anything if she accepts your incense." Method."
When the old lady heard this, she could only ask Zhang Qionian to send Tangkou away.
Zhang Qionian took the bill off the wall, folded it, wrapped it in red cloth, and put it in his pocket.
Then Zhang Qiongnian asked the old lady to pack the plates and incense burner bowls on the table into a cardboard box and take them with him to the temple.
At this time, Liang Yuanyuan walked out of the child's room and said happily, "It's gone. The fever is really gone."
The family was very happy to learn that the child's fever had gone away. Especially the way Liang Yuanyuan looked at Zhang Qionian changed. If I was a little doubtful before, now I am convinced.
Zhang Qiongian pulled Liang Yuanyuan aside and whispered, "Although the child's soul has been called back now, weaning the child still requires a process, and your mother-in-law's longevity is approaching, and she will occasionally show it on her face, which can easily scare her." When you get to the child, find me a piece of red paper and a pen, and I will draw a calming charm for him to ensure the stability of his soul within half a year."
I have to say that Liang Yuanyuan really has everything at home. When she went to the study, she found red paper. As for the pen, just use an ordinary black pen.
Zhang Qionian spread the red paper flat on the table and said silently in his mind, "Please give me the peace talisman from the old immortal to keep Hao Xinghe's soul stable."
As soon as he finished reading, Zhang Qionian felt that the arm holding the pen was numb.
Although he couldn't feel it, his arm moved uncontrollably, writing on the red paper quickly, "swishing, swishing, swishing".
After a while, I wrote a dense piece of paper.
Liang Yuanyuan picked it up and looked at it but didn’t understand it. Zhang Qionian couldn’t understand it either.
"Fold the calming charm into a triangle, sew it in a red cloth, wrap it and put it under the child's pillow."
This is an immortal family that Zhang Qiaonian has never seen before, named Hu Tianlin. In fact, he has never seen any of the immortal families that Zhang Qiaonian mentioned in the hall, but every time an immortal family takes action or tells him something, it will automatically pop up in his head. It's magical when the name of the Immortal family appears.
After explaining how to use the calming talisman, the matter is over.
Before leaving, Liang Yuanyuan asked in a low voice, "How long does my mother-in-law have to live?"
Zhang Qionian said, "There are still three months at most."
"Then do I need to prepare anything in advance?"
Zhang Qionian said, "It's best to prepare in advance to avoid making mistakes when you are busy."
Liang Yuanyuan said, "Wait for me, I'll call my husband, and we'll discuss it when I take you back."
Liang Yuanyuan went to the study and pulled Hao Yunfei into the car together.
"What! You said my mother has reached her birthday? Aren't you cursing my mother to death!"
Liang Yuanyuan said, "How can I curse our mother? It was this little brother who said it. Our son was scared this time because of our mother. I didn't believe it at first, but after the little brother showed the child, the fever subsided. , how do you explain this?"
Hao Yunfei said, "I won't believe you even if you tell me about flowers."
Zhang Qionian said, "Brother, I can understand your feelings as a child, but some things really need to be prepared in advance. I know you don't believe in these things, and I won't force you to believe them, but you must be in awe. I just ask you One thing, do you feel that your aunt's personality has become a little different in the past month or so?"
Hao Yunfei frowned and said, "What's different? My mother has always had this character."
However, Liang Yuanyuan on the side said, "No, my husband and my mother were not like this before. Do you remember how good my mother was to me before? She treated me like a real girl. You see, in the past month or so, she has been like this to me." It’s like a different person, it’s okay if I did something wrong, but I really didn’t mess with her.”
Hao Yunfei also frowned when he heard what she said.
"What you say seems to be true. In the past month or so, my mother has been too lazy to watch her children. She usually loses her temper when something goes wrong. My mother had a pretty good temper before."
Zhang Qionian said, "You said this yourself, I didn't guide you, did I?"
Hao Yunfei asked, "Even if your personality is a little worse than before, you can't say that my mother has reached her birthday, right?"
Zhang Qionian said, "In fact, both humans and animals will have a certain premonition of their own death. Just like some kittens and puppies that have been raised in rural areas for many years, when they feel that their death is approaching, they will find a Choose a burial place for yourself in the wilderness. Generally, you will not die at home. The same is true for people. As long as they do not die of sudden illness, they will have some feelings. Some old people were very good to everyone when they were alive. Suddenly one day You will become grumpy, mostly because you feel that your life is about to end, so you try to use this method to make your loved ones hate you, so that your loved ones will not be sad after your death. This is the legendary saying of not leaving any thoughts before death. "
Although Hao Yunfei still didn't want to believe it, but thinking about his mother's age, he asked, "What do you think we should do?"
