The weasel knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Earth Master, saying that this man turned a corner and fell into the ditch to save me and died. He begged his grandfather to be merciful and see that he still had a breath of life and let him not die.
The land man took a look and said, "Oh, this weasel is still carrying a litter of cubs. This man saved the lives of the weasel and his family. This is a meritorious deed."
Gui Cha said that since he has this merit, how about letting him live for two more days?
The Weasel said that two days was too little, and twenty more years would be enough.
The land man chewed the flower seeds and said that was not possible. Two days was too little and he would die if he went back. But twenty years was too many and the merit was not enough to repay it. Moreover, if he was allowed to live a few more years, I don't have such great authority, so I can at most give him two more months to live.
The weasel said goodbye. Not only did he save me, he also saved the baby in my belly. If he can only live for two more days, it is too little. I am willing to use my life to give him ten years of life!
The Earth Master said, "Don't make trouble. How did you get such a long life? You haven't cultivated the Tao yet. You are still in the body of an animal. You can't exchange for ten years of life."
Weasel said, how about fixing it? How about you deduct ten years of Taoism from me, and I will work hard to make up for it in the future.
The Land Master was also a little touched by the weasel. He sighed and said, "You are a little weasel who repays your kindness. Although I can't give him ten years of life, I can help him in another way, which can be regarded as a favor for you." .
Then, the Tu Tuye looked at the few ghost soldiers in his small temple, that is, the ghost soldiers, there were only four in total.
Because the area under the jurisdiction of the Tutu Lord is not large, he only manages three villages in total. The four ghost soldiers are a bit small and not enough, but the superiors have never sent anyone to him. This is also a worry of the Tutu Lord.
The Earth Master brought Li Daguo back to life at that time, and his soul returned to his body, allowing him to go home well.
However, things are not that simple. The Tutu Lord came up with an idea and asked Li Daguo to work in the Tutu Temple every week, and gave him the name Li Wu.
In fact, Li Daguo's name was already on the death register, but the Land Master did not report it to the authorities and secretly added one year to his life span, which was twelve years. However, half of Li Daguo's soul was buried in the temple. inside.
Because Li Daguo is still a living person and cannot use the name of a living person in the temple, and he is the fifth servant in the temple, so he is called Li Wu, which is also his code name.
A living person is acting as an undercover agent. Of course, this kind of thing must be kept secret and no one can know about it.
On the surface, Tutuye helped Li Daguo, but in fact, he also made it easier for himself, because he had one more person to work on, and he didn't have to pay wages, which was so cool.
Li Daguo has been working part-time for more than ten years without any hindrance. He goes to work in the middle of the night. When he wakes up, he does not remember anything, and he becomes confused. To outsiders, it may seem a bit heartless, but in fact it is his soul that has nothing to do with it. Not all of it is on my body, half of it is in the Earth Temple.
Only in this way can Li Daguo extend his yang life, and he has merit as a yin errand, and he will gradually be able to repay this extended life span.
As for the weasel, he was also afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he followed and protected him secretly. Lao Li followed him several times, but the weasel was stunned by him and prevented him from discovering the matter.
Because once exposed, Li Daguo may no longer be able to secretly act as an undercover agent, which means that his lifespan is over, and Land Master will also have to bear some responsibilities.
To put it bluntly, the Land Master is taking advantage of a legal loophole and leaving this bug alone.
The above content is all information obtained by Shen Xing when we were talking with the ghosts at the Tutu Temple. It is definitely reliable.
After listening to Shen Xing's story, we all found it very unbelievable, and our imaginations were really wide open. Because the Earth Master was afraid of touching the porcelain, and because the weasel begged for mercy, he ended up sending Li Daguo to the temple to be a scapegoat?
I didn’t understand a bit. I said it was too troublesome. I had to go there in person in the middle of the night. Couldn’t I go there while I was sleeping?
Shen Xing also didn't understand my question. He said that this was what he was curious about, because he had seen many living people in the past few years, but it was really rare for him to go there in person like Li Daguo.
I asked him, did the ghost of the Earth Temple give an explanation? In addition, now that Li Daguo's matter has been revealed, will it have an impact on him, and will it not be good for Tu Tu Ye, because this is exposed.
Shen Xing said this was still unclear, because when he was talking to the ghost messenger, the land master was not at home, so the ghost messenger didn't say a lot, and just asked Shen Xing to go back and ask.
I said, why are you asking this? Land Master is not at home either.
Shen Xing said don't worry, tonight is July 14th, and the Land Master will definitely come back. We will find out when we go there tonight.
I said wait a minute, who does this "we" include?
Shen Xing gave me a mysterious smile and said, "Of course it's you and me, the two of us will go together."
Seeing Shen Xing's confident look, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous at the same time.
Yes, tonight is July 14th. Legend has it that this is the day when the gate of hell opens every year. Shen Xing wants to go to the Earth Temple with me on the night of July 14th. This thing is a bit scary.
Regarding the day when the Ghost Gate opens every year during the Ghost Festival, each place actually has different opinions. Some say it opens on July 14th, some say it opens on July 15th, and some say it opens on the first day of July.
Let me explain here. In fact, the entire seventh month of the lunar calendar every year is the "Ghost Month" in traditional customs. The gate of ghosts opens on the first day of July and closes on July 30th.
In this month, the gate of the ghost gate is always open and the ghosts can travel to the human world. Generally, at this time, Buddhist and Taoist families will set up Pudu dojos to perform deeds to transcend the ghosts.
During these days, when ghosts from the underworld return to the earth to reunite with their relatives, there are also many homeless ghosts. The ownerless souls from the underworld will flock to the earth, wandering around any inaccessible place looking for food and asking for paper money. .
However, the first day of July is when the gate of hell first opens. This is a process of slowly opening. It is not until the night of July 14 that the gate of ghost opens, and it lasts until July 15.
After July 15th, the gate of hell will slowly close until it is completely closed on July 30th.
Therefore, the Ghost Gate opens on July 15th during the Ghost Festival. It does not just open for one day. Everyone should pay attention. Therefore, those who want to worship ancestors usually do it before July 15th. As long as it is the seventh month of the lunar calendar, Yes, it is not limited to July 15th.
Of course, if you have something to do, it’s okay if you are a day or two late to worship your ancestors. Anyway, the gates of hell are open at this time, but it’s not good if it’s too late.
After all, during festivals, ghosts also need to have a sense of ritual. If you wish them a happy holiday half a month after the festival, do you think the ancestors will be angry?
So tonight, it happens to be the day when the door of hell opens wide.
