The county seat of Leinan, as seen on the map, is in the shape of an eye.
General Fubo and Guan Sheng occupy one corner of their eyes respectively, and the center point of their eyes is the Dengyun Tower.
This Dengyun Tower has a high status in the hearts of Renan people.
First of all, it has a long history. It was first built in the 43rd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty and completed in the third year of Tianqi, which is exactly 400 years ago. Secondly, during every major festival celebration, people will come to the pagoda to worship the father and mother of the pagoda.
For example, "Shang Gongpo" during the Lantern Festival.
"Shanggongpo" is also called "Shangjunpo". It is one of the most important folk festivals held by Leinan to worship the five gods (God of Heaven, God of Earth, God of Man, God of Wealth and God of Kitchen) every year. It is said to commemorate Mrs. Xian. The folk worship activities held in honor of the lady have a heritage of more than 1,300 years.
According to folklore, whenever Mrs. Xian went on an expedition, she would parade her troops on high slopes to compete in martial arts.
In order to commemorate Mrs. Xian, later generations would organize Yangko teams and lion dance teams to hold celebrations on every anniversary of her expedition.
Here in Leinan, every fifteenth day of the first lunar month, starting from the early morning, a total of 28 teams of lion teams, long dragon teams, eight-note gongs and drums, floating colorful carriages, etc. from twelve Jingfang in the city and neighboring villages will rush together. Go to the gathering place, and then march in the streets and alleys of the county in order.
28 teams, representing 28 gods.
Carrying the public across the border, passing arrows, flag formation, lion and dragon dances, kung fu performances, etc.
Everywhere they passed, houses and shops set off firecrackers to pray for wealth and peace. The crowd of onlookers was huge and lively.
This is different from other places.
In most areas, such large-scale sacrificial activities for folk gods are rarely seen in cities. If they are, they are mostly in the form of folk cultural performances, with few gods and statues appearing.
Leinan's "Shanggongpo" is a carnival festival for the whole city, with more than 100,000 participants. Tens of thousands of people gathered under the Dengyun Tower alone. From morning to night, it lasted a whole day.
Therefore, the Leinan government had to set up a security station next to Dengyun Tower to maintain order.
…
It is midsummer now, so it is naturally impossible to see such a grand celebration as "Shang Gong Slope".
So Chen Jingle just walked around the city and felt the local customs.
When you're hungry, go to a street shop and order the famous local sheep three flavors, namely sheep porridge, yokan and sheep bone soup. For someone like him who rarely eats mutton, he thinks it tastes good.
With his outstanding appearance and temperament, he was inevitably chatted up by the boss lady.
The charming lady boss smiled and said, "Your Li dialect is quite authentic."
Meaning~ It is not a good thing to praise someone for their authentic dialect and accent. Although it is not necessarily derogatory, it subconsciously treats the other person as an outsider.
Fortunately, the landlady herself had no ill intentions, and Chen Jingle wanted to know more about things in Leinan and listen to the gossip, so they chatted a few more words.
…
"Brother, would you like to ride with me?"
Huang Ping, wearing his iconic blue T-shirt, rode a 125 and solicited customers under the shade of the trees.
Because I have gained weight recently, this dress looks tighter and tighter, and now my belly sticks out quite a bit on my waist, which is very eye-catching.
He is a well-known figure in Leinan City.
First, Liang Mo Lao is running around outside all day long. He knows all the big and small things in Leinan City, and there are plenty of topics to talk about when traveling with tourists.
The other is that there are many temples in the city. If there is anything involving Shinto rituals, they will come to him. He is the ancestral Duan Gong, also known as the Great God of Dance.
As for the ability, if you believe it, you have it; if you don’t believe it, you don’t have it.
Today, Huang Ping went out for a motorcycle ride as usual.
Just ask when you see someone passing by, and chat with your colleagues next to you when no one is around. Then he turned around and saw Chen Jingle coming out of the roadside shop.
It was just a casual glance at first, but he was immediately stunned.
Is this figure a little too tall? More than a hundred feet!
Huang Ping raised his neck and stared wide-eyed. He saw the back of the giant statue opposite him, wearing a red robe, surrounded by clouds of glory. It looked extremely majestic, but strangely, there was a mixture of kindness and ominousness in the middle.
Just when he was about to see clearly, he suddenly felt a jolt, and the illusion in front of him disappeared and returned to reality.
What was even more outrageous was that he found himself kneeling on the ground.
There were many people gathered around.
Seeing that he had come to his senses, Mo's colleague breathed a sigh of relief: "Huang Ping, why are you so crazy?"
"Ah?" Huang Ping looked confused.
"Just as I was talking to you, you suddenly stared at the other side and knelt down. You didn't respond no matter how you called me. I still want to ask you what's going on!"
opposite?
Huang Ping suddenly woke up and quickly stood up and asked: "Have you seen where the young man who just came out of the store opposite went?"
"Which young man?"
"The one in the gray short sleeves!"
"I didn't pay attention. Is there any problem?"
"..."
Of course there are problems, big problems!
That is a true god!
Huang Ping was so excited that he never thought that one day he would be able to see the true God.
Although many people say that the things passed down from his family are fake and can only deceive ignorant people, but only he knows that although some of his things have been changed to adapt to the times and are just formalities, some things are still real. .
For example, ancestral soldiers and horses.
When trouble comes, the ancestors are there to save lives.
Just because he took one more look, his ancestor pressed his head and knelt down.
It's a good thing that he knelt down quickly, otherwise he would really offend the true God and even ten lives would not be enough. Ordinary people may not care, but people like them with cultivation cannot do it.
Some people may say that the true God is not so narrow-minded, right?
In fact, the true God may not matter, but the "rules" don't allow it. There are many ways to describe the so-called rules, usually called the way of heaven.
Huang Ping came back to his senses and suddenly became anxious, trying to find the figure just now.
If you don't seize the opportunity to hug someone with such a thick thigh passing by, how will you know if you can hug it or not?
What if? What if!
He got on his motorcycle and chased after her, but ran for several streets without seeing anyone. When he finally gave up, rumors that "Huang Ping went crazy" had begun to spread in the city.
Huang Ping returned home with a sad face and went to find his father immediately.
Huang Dong, who is already 75 this year, is very surprised: "What's wrong?"
Huang Ping sighed: "I saw the true God today."
With one sentence, Huang Dong's expression suddenly became solemn.
"But I lost track."
Huang Dong suddenly lost his temper: "Silly, you can follow the real God if you want to? He doesn't want to see you, so of course you can't. But the appearance of his true body shows that the world has changed, so just watch carefully."
After a pause, he added: "A few days ago, I heard that many places were arresting people. Many scholars and bullies from Lei Nan have gone in. It seems that they are going to clean up the world."
"Is it a big deal?"
"It's very big! Tomorrow I will notify the people from the Twelve Boundaries in the city to come over and have a brief chat. Then I will also go to various villages and towns and remind everyone who needs to be reminded."
His father's prestige is much higher than that of him. People who are truly capable in everyone's eyes only retire when they are older.
This matter is so serious that the old man must take action in person.
However, Huang Ping and his son were still slow in their actions. Just after making the call, something happened in Hai'an.
…
Near Hai'an Port, many new B&Bs have opened in recent years.
After all, there is nothing else in Leinan except the sea. Although the quality of the sea water is not as good as Qiongzhou Lucheng, it is more affordable. Spending a little money to take a boat trip in the bay is still good.
There are also many people who drive here and stay overnight before crossing the sea.
Gao Qiang runs a B&B here and the business is good.
Making money is secondary. The main thing is to promote it well online. Many young and beautiful girls come to play and book rooms in his house. When you meet someone you like, try to make contact with them. If there is a response, spend a little time walking around with them for two days, say some love words, make some eye contact, and maybe it will work.
No romance, just kidneys.
love? I love you Ma Maipi!
These days, when we go out to play, we just want to have fun.
If you are happy, so am I. Is that true?
This time, as usual, he received two girls from out of town. Each of them had their own characteristics. One was youthful and lively, the other fair-skinned and weak. They were both college students who went out to play during the summer vacation.
However, just as he was about to be courteous and see if he could get close to her, he encountered something that couldn't be explained by science, which made him panic.
