Although Yan County is close to the sea, few people come to the Houhai area.
There are rows of fishing boats on the surface of Houhai. Since this area has not been developed into a scenic spot, except for the nearby fishing villages near the sea, few locals go there.
Even if there are tourists from outside, most of them go to experience the fishermen's entertainment. After all, there is really not much scenery in that area.
What's more, it's already four o'clock in the morning, and there are no people in Houhai area. That's why Li Guowei is confused, what kind of medicine is sold in Feng Yun's gourd?
Feng Yun's officers and soldiers arrived after the five people arrived. Feng Yun had been waiting here for a long time.
“Immediately form a defense line in this area, with everyone turning their backs to Houhai.
No one is allowed to enter, and you are not allowed to turn around when you hear any sound. "
The reason why Li Guowei was able to get the news was because Feng Yun mobilized many officers and soldiers.
The officers and soldiers nodded after hearing this, and then began to divide their positions step by step to form a defense line.
Although they had been informed that there was a mission tonight, no one understood what happened.
In particular, Houhai is a place where birds don't shit. Coming here at four o'clock in the morning is really unbelievable.
Fortunately, Fatty and others placed the coffin near the seaside so that the officers and soldiers could not see it, otherwise they would definitely be even more confused.
Houhai area is mostly fishing villages. It is far away from the city and has not been developed yet.
It can be said that this is the most authentic appearance of Yanjun in the early years. Since ancient times, Yanjun has relied on the sea and mostly lived in this kind of fishing village.
After the soldiers formed a defense line, Feng Yun came to Fatty and others.
Obviously, Feng Yun knew the doubts in the hearts of Fatty and others, so he roughly explained what he was going to do next.
Sea festivals are not unfamiliar to people who live near the sea. This custom has been around since ancient times.
On certain days, people at the seaside would hold rituals to offer sacrifices to the Dragon King. In the early years, influenced by witchcraft, there was even the bad habit of sacrificing boys and girls.
However, the rituals of worshiping the Dragon King mostly take place in the north of Dayan. In the south of Dayan, sacrifices are usually made to Mazu to pray for good weather and safe sailing in the coming year.
But the sea sacrifice that Feng Yun is going to perform is not a sacrifice to the Dragon King, nor is it a sacrifice to Mazu.
Instead, he wanted to use the ceremony of sea sacrifice to commemorate the soldiers of the Song Dynasty who had died in battle, so as to eliminate Zhao Hu's obsession.
After finding out what happened to Zhao Husheng, Feng Yun finally understood why the zombies were transported to the polling bureau, but strange things continued on the construction site.
What really causes trouble is the obsession in the hearts of zombies. This is also the difference between monsters and demons.
The demon cultivates the inner elixir, while the demon cultivates one thought.
Most of those who can become demons are creatures who are created by nature and have spirits and gods.
Such as flowers, trees, birds, animals, fish and insects.
But those who can become demons are mostly godless and spiritual beings who can become demons only by being immortal with a single thought.
Therefore, unlike demons, the stronger the demon's obsession, the stronger its power, and the greater the impact it can have on its surroundings.
This zombie is a type of corpse demon, so if we want to properly solve this problem, we must start from the root cause, that is, eliminate the obsession in Zhao Hu's heart.
Under Feng Yun's narration, several people finally understood what he wanted to do.
Since Zhao Xue was not a member of the polling bureau, Feng Yun could only let her watch from a distance and could not actually participate in the ceremony.
But even so, Zhao Xue still looked at Feng Yun and others curiously.
I saw them constantly taking out paper figures from the car, covering them with white cloth and placing them on both sides.
Then the fat man found a broken table nearby and temporarily covered it with yellow cloth to serve as the altar.
Common items such as incense burners, cinnabar, writing brushes, and yellow paper were all placed on the altar one by one by the fat man.
The pair of paper figures were placed on the left and right of the altar, looking like two guards.
Zhao Xue could only see what Feng Yun was saying to the three fat men, and the three of them nodded in agreement very seriously.
Seeing that everything was arranged, the fat man took out another cloth bag from the car.
Opening the cloth bag, there were several masks inside.
These masks all have green faces and fangs, and they look ugly.
"What is this?"
The fat man looked at the mask in front of him with some disgust, but little did he know that this was also an important part of the ceremony.
Wearing a mask and pretending to be a yaksha means that during the ceremony, gods and ghosts will stay away and should not be disturbed.
This ugly Yaksha mask can be seen in almost all folk rituals.
In people's minds, Yaksha is not a lucky thing, but it can scare away evil spirits from all directions during the ceremony, thus ensuring the smooth progress of the ceremony.
As Feng Yun lit three sticks of incense and worshiped in all directions, and then inserted the three sticks of incense into the incense burner, the ceremony began.
Fatty, Yan Qilin and Ma Linger respectively put on masks and white clothes like mourning clothes, and stood behind Feng Yun.
This scene really looked a bit weird in the dark night. The stars of the burning incense were looming in the darkness.
Feng Yun held a handful of yellow paper in his hand. After lighting it, he circled the two paper figures twice, then looked at the fat man and said in a weird accent:
"Coffin lifting..."
The fat man wore a Rakshasa mask and walked to the coffin with Tiangang steps. He then opened the coffin lid, held the talisman between his fingers and gently lifted it up. The zombie stood up from the coffin in a daze.
Feng Yun held a cinnabar-filled writing brush in his hand and walked up to the zombie while chanting a weird tune.
"A little cinnabar burns between the eyebrows, and the yin and yang and the five elements are connected together."
"Two dots of cinnabar burn the heart, and the ringing of the bell summons ghosts and supernatural powers!"
As Feng Yun spoke, he put cinnabar on the zombie's eyebrows and heart, and then he pulled off the zombie amulet attached to the zombie's forehead.
In an instant, the zombie's eyes were flooded with green light, and then it thoughtlessly wanted to attack Feng Yun in front of him.
The fat man saw this and was about to step forward, but found that Feng Yun was obviously prepared.
Feng Yun turned around and pulled out the middle incense from the incense burner, inserting it accurately into the zombie's mouth.
Suddenly, the zombie froze as if in a daze.
Feng Yun clamped the incense stick between his sword fingers and gently pulled it forward. The zombie followed Feng Yun forward very cooperatively.
Fatty and the others looked at this scene in surprise. They didn't know that Feng Yun's technique was called 'Spirit Locking' in the ancient Xiangcheng area.
It is to use incense to lock the resentment in the corpse, thereby achieving the effect of temporary control.
Under the leadership of Feng Yun, the zombies quickly arrived in front of the altar, facing the seaside, motionless.
Then Feng Yun returned to the altar, looked at Yan Qilin beside him and nodded.
Yan Qilin understood this and quickly lit the two white candles in his hands, placing them on the left and right on the altar.
Feng Yun picked up a grain of rice from the bowl next to him with his index and middle fingers, and then quickly drew the flame on the candle after standing on the cinnabar.
Zhao Xue's eyes widened in surprise, and she saw that the white rice in Feng Yun's hand was actually covered with flames.
From a distance, it looked as if Feng Yun had just picked up a wisp of flame from the candle.
With a flick of Feng Yun's wrist, this wisp of flame quickly fell into the iron basin. In an instant, the yellow paper in the iron basin was ignited.
Under the light of the fire, Feng Yun's face appeared clear-cut.
Half of the face is illuminated by the firelight, while the other half is hidden in the darkness, giving people a sense of both good and evil.
Soon, Feng Yun put on a strange black robe. The long sleeves of the robe did not have any pattern decoration.
In this pitch-black environment, Feng Yun seemed to blend in with his surroundings, with only his hands vaguely visible.
As time passed by, at the moment when the hands pointed to twelve o'clock, Feng Yun shouted in a yin and yang tone that was difficult to distinguish between male and female:
"The auspicious time has come, let's start offering sacrifices!"
Just as Feng Yun finished speaking, an unknown dark wind blew towards his face.
The yellow paper in the iron basin had been burned to ashes. In this unknown wind, black paper ashes swirled up, and many of them stuck to the bodies of Yan Qilin and others.
…
At this moment, a military vehicle stopped in the distance.
Li Guowei, who had just gotten off the car, heard Feng Yun's strange voice.
Li Guowei looked for the sound and looked into the distance. He could only see firelight lingering in the darkness, as well as Feng Yun and others dressed strangely.
With doubts, Li Guowei quickly walked towards this side, and then he saw the officers and soldiers forming a defense line.
The moment they saw Li Guowei, the officers and soldiers clasped their fists and saluted, while Li Guowei looked at the officer and soldier closest to him and asked:
"What is Chief Feng doing?"
In response, the officers and soldiers quickly shook their heads:
"General Soldier, Director Feng ordered that no one should turn around. So, we don't know anything..."
Li Guowei frowned and walked sideways past the officers and soldiers.
This is the commander-in-chief, who dares to stop him?
Li Guowei walked forward in confusion. He did not notice that as a gust of wind blew by, his body was also stained with ashes from burned yellow paper.
Not far from Feng Yun, Li Guowei stopped. This strange scene made him feel confused.
Since Feng Yun specially transferred officers and soldiers from the military mansion, it was to seal off the scene and prevent others from approaching.
Li Guowei was naturally worried about whether his rash approach would disturb Feng Yun and the others.
Therefore, Li Guowei quickly stopped, but he soon discovered that there seemed to be an extra person among these people.
Feng Yun, Yan Qilin, Fatty, Ma Linger...
Li Guowei knew all four of them, but there were clearly five figures in front of them at this time.
The extra figure has been standing there blankly since just now.
If you don't look carefully, you won't even notice that it is a human figure.
Who is that person?
Li Guowei looked at the black shadow suspiciously and thought in his heart.
Naturally, he didn't know that this extra figure was the protagonist of this sea festival...
There was one thing that Feng Yun had not mentioned to Yan Qilin and others. The sea festival he performed was actually somewhat different from what he said.
Since ancient times, there has indeed been a custom of worshiping the Dragon King in the north and Mazu in the south.
But looking around, no matter where the sea ceremony is held, it is always in the morning and never in the evening.
But Feng Yun specifically chose the time of midnight because this sea festival was not an ordinary sea festival from the beginning.
At this time, Feng Yun's tone became more and more weird, and the sounds he sang were intermittent. Some of them could be understood, while some even Fatty and the others didn't know what Feng Yun was talking about.
Soon, Feng Yun asked Fatty and Yan Qilin to pick up a paper man each.
Guys and Dolls, coupled with the two oozing red dots in the eyes, always give people an indescribable feeling of weirdness.
Looking at the two paper figures in front of them, what few of them expected was that Feng Yun actually cut his fingertips with a knife, and then smudged the two red spots around his eyes again.
After doing all this, Feng Yun hooked his hand again, and Ma Ling'er, who was holding a paper scalper not far away, quickly ran over and placed the paper scalper in front of Feng Yun.
Feng Yun put the two paper figures on the back of the blind ox, one behind the other, and then circled the ox three times, murmuring as he circled:
"The scalpers open the way, and the paper figures greet them. Those who come are guests, and we welcome them from afar..."
As he finished speaking, an extra spell appeared in Feng Yun's hand.
With a flick of his wrist, the talisman was released, and the moment it landed on the scalper, it instantly ignited flames.
The two paper men and paper scalpers were quickly burned to ashes in the flames. Yan Qilin and others looked at each other, not knowing why Feng Yun did this.
However, at this moment, Ma Ling'er suddenly kept patting the fat man next to her.
The fat man looked at Ma Ling'er with a blank expression, but found that her eyes were wide open at this moment, and her face was full of astonishment.
This made the fat man quickly follow Ma Ling'er's line of sight. This glance didn't matter and made the fat man keep rubbing his eyes.
I saw that beside Feng Yun, where the Paper Man and the Paper Scalper were originally, there were several half-real and half-real figures.
It was an old scalper, and there were two children on the old scalper's back. One was wearing red clothes and the other was wearing green clothes. Their faces were red, just like the paper figures.
Both the two children and the old scalper were all looming, and because of this, the fat man felt that he was hallucinating.
"Moo-"
"Kekeke~"
But at this moment, Fatty not only heard the braying of the cattle, but even heard the laughter of two children.
This voice seemed particularly penetrating in the pitch-black environment.
Li Guowei, who was standing in the distance, also widened his eyes at this moment. He was stunned and said to the guard who had been following him:
"Did you see that there was a cow and two children?"
The guard said with a confused look:
"Commander, are you talking about the paper thing from earlier? If it wasn't burned by Director Feng, how could there be scalpers and children?"
Upon hearing this, Li Guowei suddenly took a breath of cold air.
Reminiscent of the scene when he saw Brother Pingtou on Liuhuo Avenue, Li Guowei knew that this was not an illusion.
But if it's not an illusion, why can only I see it?
Li Guowei, who was in doubt, did not notice that the paper dust blown by the wind was still scattered on his shoulders.
The guard next to him was clean and had nothing on him.
At this time, under everyone's astonished gaze, the Yellow Ox Shadow dragged the two children and walked towards the sea step by step.
In that sea, the scalper was still walking on flat ground. Although it was blind, the two children were obviously pointing the direction to the scalper, allowing the scalper to walk forward step by step, and gradually disappeared from everyone's eyes.
"Director, what happened just now? Are those scalpers and children the paper scalpers and paper figures we got?"
Facing the fat man's question, Feng Yun nodded gently:
"You are all stained with yellow paper dust, so you can see yin and yang.
The two children were already riding oxen to welcome the guests. Be prepared. The most important stage of the ceremony is about to begin. "
Fatty and others suddenly realized that no wonder they suddenly saw such a strange sight.
In fact, there have been various interpretations of yellow paper among ancient people. For example, when burning paper, you need to draw a circle on the ground and recite the name of the deceased silently. It is said that the paper money can only be owned by that person.
But in fact, this is not the original saying about drawing circles on the ground, but it was later evolved by the folk themselves.
In fact, the circle drawn on the ground was imitated by King Wen of Zhou Dynasty who drew the ground as a prison, thereby firmly confining the power of yellow paper that can connect yin and yang.
In this way, even if the body is stained with paper dust, it will not blind the physical eyes and open the eyes of the sky.
In addition to this statement, ancient people have always been more concerned about yellow paper ash.
If there are traces of burning paper on the ground, the elders in the family will always tell their children not to step on the traces.
Otherwise, you may bring some unclean things home and get stuck in it.
Most people's attitude towards these statements is to just ignore them and listen to them.
But what Feng Yun did at this time confirmed all of this.
It is worth noting that Zhao Xue, who has been standing in the distance and looking curiously towards this side, is not stained with any paper dust.
But at this moment, her face showed the same shock as Fatty and others just now.
Her eyes first fell on Su Yun's side, and then gradually moved towards the sea, which was almost exactly the same as the route taken by the ox.
Apparently, she could see it.
“Dingle bell…Dingle bell…”
At this time, Feng Yun picked up the hand bell that had been placed on the table, and pressed it three times and then three times regularly, and the ringing sound continued.
Feng Yun stepped back while shaking. Seeing this, Fatty and Yan Qilin quickly took out some food and placed it on the altar.
As the saying goes:
Three sticks of incense are in the center, and the sacrifices are lined up on both sides.
Customers passing by can taste it, and the news will travel far and wide.
"call……"
At this time, a strong wind suddenly appeared on the sea, and the salty and wet wind blew against our faces. For a time, Fatty and others felt that they could not open their eyes.
Strange to say, there was obviously a strong wind, but white mist slowly condensed on the sea. This white mist did not dissipate in the wind, but became thicker and thicker.
"Hahahaha……"
In a daze, the child's laughter came from the dense night again, and the sound came from far to near, making it seem particularly empty in this environment.
But after Feng Yun heard the child's laughter, he nodded happily and took a long breath.
"The guests have arrived."
