Now that we have met the powerful soldiers and horses, we naturally don’t need to trouble the City God anymore.
After Hua Jiunan handed over all the mine boils to the God of Heaven and asked him to inform the underworld of what happened here, all the "people" said goodbye and left.
Since it was already late at night, Hua Jiunan and Chen Daji casually found an empty room in the mine to rest.
He planned to wait for dawn to return to the small courtyard with Chen Fu.
Early the next morning, Hua Jiunan had just gotten up for morning exercises when he heard this benevolent businessman calling him through the window.
"Nine, Xiaojiu! What, do you want to drive away the dirty things?! Can uncle come out?!"
Hua Jiunan hurried over and opened the door.
"It's okay, Uncle Chen, you can come out!"
"I thought about letting everyone sleep a little longer, so I didn't call you too early."
Chen Fu smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Hey, Xiaojiu, you also know that my uncle is timid."
"How can I sleep when such a big thing happened..."
It's hard for Hua Jiu to take a closer look, isn't it?
This benevolent businessman's eyes were dark, as if he was wearing thick smoky makeup.
There are three miners with the same "makeup".
The one who bragged about inviting a ghost to drink yesterday is now acting the most cowardly.
While looking around in fear, he was like a Japs stealing landmines.
While trembling, he asked Hua Jiunan: "Little, little fairy, did you really let you collect the dirty things in the mine?!"
Hua Jiunan shook his head gently.
"That's not true."
"But dirty things will never come to the mine again in the future."
This is not to say that Hua Jiunan lied and deceived people, but that the guy who caused the mine boils will definitely not make trouble again.
You must know that the main purpose of evil ghosts seeking lives is to conceal the truth.
But now that the "evidences" have been handed into the hands of the ten Yama Lords, why are they still making trouble? !
Do you think the matter is not big enough and you are not exposed quickly enough?
Hearing what Hua Jiunan said, the miner who invited the ghost to drink was so frightened that he almost sat on the ground. He wanted to ask more questions but was stopped by Chen Fu.
After many things, Chen Fu has no doubts about Hua Jiunan's ability and character.
If he says it's okay, then it must be okay!
Xiaojiu is a big shot, not the little brat from my family...
"What about that, Jiu, uncle, I want to ask you something again."
"The Ghost Festival is the day after tomorrow, why don't we at the mine prepare something to say goodbye?!"
"It's not that I don't believe you! Goodbye Xie Xinkuan!"
Hua Jiu nodded slightly after hearing the words.
"It's okay to say goodbye, Uncle Chen."
"The three days of Tomb-Sweeping Day, the first half of July, and the first day of October should indeed be celebrated."
"Prepare some wine, food, incense, and candles. I'll just draw some more "Three Yin Yuans" for you!"
Hearing this, Chen Fu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I will listen to you, Xiaojiu."
"Let's arrange for people to prepare!"
While talking, Chen Daji yawned and walked out of the room.
As he walked, he played with the white breath he exhaled out of boredom.
"Oh daddy, it's so early in the morning and you can't sleep well, why are you making such a fuss!"
Seeing Chen Fu's unkind expression, Chen Daji quickly changed the subject.
"Boss, the immortal brother said yesterday that he would sacrifice his strength, and today you asked our father to sacrifice his strength again. What do you mean?!"
Hua Jiunan answered with a smile while helping Chen Daji fasten his buttons to prevent him from catching cold.
"Sacrifice to the emperor is an ancient tradition in China, but few people know about it now."
"At that time, people not only offered sacrifices to heaven and gods, but also offered sacrifices to ghosts, that is, to sacrifice spirits."
"So that they won't cause trouble and life can be peaceful."
Hua Jiunan added here.
"The "County Chronicle" that Uncle Zhao brought back also has records."
"Yi Li Tan is about 150 paces north of the city. In the 25th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the Qingfu, the discussion, the formula, and the decree were issued to the world. Every Qingming Festival, July 15th, and October 1st, every year The three sacrificial rites department issued the sacrificial text."
In the last sentence, Hua Jiunan was just playing the piano to an ox, because Chen Daji didn't understand it at all.
"Boss, boss, who are you talking about offering sacrifices to?"
"Is it the boss of Hell or Brother Niu Ma and the others?!"
"As long as I pay you a visit, that day happens to be your birthday anyway... No matter what the hell it is, you won't always be honest when you meet us..."
Chen Daji's question really hit the key point.
Chen Fu, who was preparing to worship, hurriedly listened.
Sacrifice is no small matter, if you worship the wrong "object", you will be in big trouble!
Hua Jiu could not help but smile.
"Being me doesn't work!"
"The orthodox sacrifice is to worship 'the Lord of the Netherworld, the Lord of the Underworld, the Ghost King, the Great Emperor' (Note 1)."
Chen Daji was stunned when he heard this.
"What, what the hell?"
"Boss, what you said is too long. We, we don't understand and we can't remember..."
Hua Jiunan gently patted his good brother's big head.
"You can call him 'King of Ghosts with Burning Face', 'Master with Burnt Face', or 'Master with Burning Face'."
"The souls in the underworld are under the jurisdiction of the ten kings of hell, while the lonely ghosts wandering in the upper world are honored by the 'King of Ghosts with Burning Faces'."
Note 1: The Burning-faced Master is a Buddhist god, also known as the Burning-faced Ghost King, the Burning-faced Master, and the Flame-Kou Ghost King. Commonly known as the Great Master, the Great Master King, the Great Master Saint King, and the Great Maharaja.
Later, it was absorbed by Taoism and was renamed as "The Master of the Netherworld, the Master of the Netherworld, the Face of the Ghost King, and the Envoy of the Jianzhai, Yulin Great God" or the "The Lord of the Netherworld, the Master of the Netherworld, the Face of the Ghost King, the King Zongji".
He is referred to as Yulin Great God, Zongji Great Emperor, and respectfully known as Pudu Gong.
In many places, before worshiping the souls of the dead during the Hungry Ghost Festival, they will first worship the great master.
Believers believe that in the seventh month of the lunar calendar, all the souls of the dead in the Yang world will be managed by the "Grand Master".
In Minxiong, Chiayi, an island in my country, there is a Tai Shiye Temple dedicated to worshiping Tai Shiye.
