This trip was exciting and very busy. The non-stop running around made me really tired.
So when I finally returned home to Harbin after several more hours of flying, I was so exhausted that I collapsed on the sofa as soon as I entered the room.
It took me a long time to get up, then I offered incense to the immortals and filled the wine glasses and water glasses.
While I was away from home, I never offered any offerings or offered any incense. Now the wine glass is empty and I don’t know how long it has been dry.
I lit incense, chanted for a while, apologized to the immortal family, then went out and bought some delicious food to offer, and then lit incense twice.
In fact, under normal circumstances, if there is no one at home, the Xiantang will naturally not be able to offer incense and offerings. Therefore, many families who have made offerings to the Xiantang and Baojiaxian have been struggling with this issue.
Because they have not offered incense or offerings for a long time, many people have a suspicion in their minds, wondering whether this will make the immortal family angry, will it bring disaster to themselves, and make them feel uncomfortable?
I have encountered many situations like this, including some people who are offering sacrifices to family immortals. They will also ask me, if I am not at home due to work reasons, and I really can’t make offerings on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, what will be the consequences? Can I not do it to myself? good?
People always have to travel outside for work and life. The nature of some people's work is such that they may be on a business trip on the first or fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year and cannot burn incense in time.
Therefore, it is human nature to have this concern and it is completely understandable.
Let me give you a unified answer here. In fact, as long as the offerings at your home are Zhengyuanxian, you don’t have to worry about this. You can just put your heart in your belly.
If no one is offering incense at home for a short period of time, then when you leave home, you should offer incense in advance and tell the immortal family, and ask the immortal family not to blame you, and they will offer incense when you come back.
Basically, reasonable immortals will not be offended, but will follow you to protect you when you go out.
But if there is something wrong with what you are offering, perhaps even the loose immortals and foreign ghosts are being offered, then there will definitely be something unreasonable in it.
He doesn't care if you go on a business trip or work, he will make trouble with you if you don't burn incense at home.
I have indeed encountered this situation many times.
Therefore, it is said that Zhengxian does not torture people, and he feels very sorry for his disciples. But it's hard to say about other immortals with unfair names.
Why do I repeatedly tell everyone to be cautious and not to think that you are destined to be immortal, so you have to make a horse or offer sacrifices to immortals? Because once you make the wrong sacrifice, there will be endless troubles waiting for you.
Even if you make the right donation, there may be problems of one kind or another in the future. There is no one-and-done solution in the Gongxiang Hall, so don’t be too naive.
But compared to Tangkou, Baojiaxian is much better and more tolerant. If you put incense and say hello when you leave, and then touch up when you come back, it usually doesn't matter.
So this time I went out and walked for a long time, and I had to quickly make up for it when I came back.
But we must put aside the idea of replenishing the incense offerings to the immortal family. We must have the idea of bringing gifts to our families after traveling far away, rather than fearing that the immortal family will be angry and cause disaster.
After lighting incense and making offerings, I felt at ease, so I went to sleep.
I woke up early today and the journey was long. The plane ride alone lasted more than four hours, which was really unbearable.
I slept very soundly, with almost no dreams, but I don’t know how long it had passed before I suddenly felt someone pulling my hair, tickling me, and laughing at the same time.
I woke up from a trance and saw that the room was empty. I was alone and there was nothing.
Looking out the window again, it was already dark, and the dim street lights had already turned on. I don't know when a barbecue restaurant opened opposite. The stove was outdoors, and bursts of fragrance drifted over along with the smoke.
A middle-aged, slightly chubby man held a special barbecue fan in his hand and was fanning it vigorously in front of the barbecue pit.
I took a deep breath, and then shouted subconsciously.
"Shall we go out for barbecue?"
As soon as the words fell, no one in the room answered, and even my voice still had some echo.
It was then that I remembered that both Lao Ma and Xiao Ma had stayed in the mountains to build temples, and I was the only one who came back.
Hey, looking at the deserted house, I really feel a little lonely.
But at this moment, a response seemed to come from his mind.
"Okay, okay, let's have barbecue..."
I was stunned for a moment, then looked towards the hall and couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that I have been away from home for a long time, and the immortals who stayed at home are also greedy. They didn't even eat enough during the day, and now they want to eat barbecue.
Okay, let’s have a barbecue for one person tonight!
So, I put on my shoes and turned around to say hello to the immortals in the hall.
"All the immortals, if you want to have barbecue, come with me. When you get to the place, you can order whatever you want!"
Next, I felt a huge group of people coming out with me...
Alas, it still feels good to be at home. Every time I go out, there are guardians following me around, but I just don't have the feeling of a large army.
I guess they must miss me too after being away from home for so long, right?
Soon I arrived at the barbecue restaurant downstairs. I went over to say hello to the boss, found a table, and sat down to order.
Logically speaking, I can't eat much by myself, but today is special, so many immortals have come out with me, so it will be more abundant.
So I took the menu and clicked a few items. At the same time, my mind was chattering. I wanted to eat this and that, and I didn’t know who was following whom.
I happily ordered a lot and then handed the menu to the boss.
The boss looked at it and asked, "Brother, how many of you are there?"
I touched my chin: "Well...just one person."
The boss said: "It's just one person. If you order so much food, four people can't finish it."
I smiled and said, "It's okay, just bake it. If you can't finish it, I can take it away. There are still people at home."
The boss didn't say anything and turned around to grill the skewers.
There were not many people in the store at this time, so the boss quickly grilled a large number of skewers and brought them to me, along with a head of garlic.
As the saying goes, if you don’t eat garlic when making skewers, the flavor will be reduced by half!
I spread out the skewers, took one in my hand, and whispered to the surroundings.
"Eat, eat, you're welcome, Mr. Wu will pay for all the expenses here!"
Seeing this, some people may be wondering again. Can the Xian family eat barbecue? Can they offer barbecue to the Xian family?
Let me tell you clearly here: if it is mutton kebabs, it will be fine, but beef will not.
Because there are many rules to follow when worshiping gods and immortals. No matter how close the immortal family is to you, there are some taboos that you cannot touch.
Taking advantage of this time of making skewers, let me briefly tell you some things to pay attention to when offering sacrifices to gods at home.
