Chapter 394 Chapter Two Incense Girl

"How?" I asked in surprise. "That's to watch a few dragons control the water and a few oxen plow the fields." Grandpa said casually. "How many dragons control the water? How many oxen plow the fields?" I was puzzled. Grandpa nodded and said: "It sounds very mysterious, but the truth is very simple. It is determined according to the date of the first Chen day of the first lunar month. The Chen day is the Dragon day. If the Dragon day falls on the fifth day of the first month, then It is called five dragons to control the water, and on the sixth day, it is called six dragons to control the water. And so on. The number of cattle plowing the field is determined according to the date of the first ugly day of the first lunar month every year."

Being smart, I asked, "The more dragons, the more rain, right?" Grandpa smiled and said: "More dragons lead to drought. If there are too many dragons, there will be severe drought. If there are too few dragons, there will be flood disasters. Think about it, dragons are for controlling water, not for spitting water. The more dragons, it proves that the water is better." Difficult to manage, that means drought." "Then what's going on with the cattle plowing the fields?" I didn't dare to guess wildly, so I asked cautiously. "The same goes for plowing the field with nine oxen. It is better to have fewer oxen. If one oxen plows the field, it means that the oxen spend less energy, so the field will be easy to plant this year. If there are more oxen, it means that the land is hard and the crops are difficult to feed." Grandpa said.

"Oh, it's so simple." I nodded. Grandpa said: "But many people think that the more dragons, the more water, or the more cattle, the better the fields can be planted. Comparing Longri and Niuri, it turns out that this is not the case, and they suspect that such calculations are inaccurate. Finally, I don’t believe it anymore. Of course, you can’t predict rain just by calculating the dragon’s day and the ox’s day. This is just a main law.” After talking about this, I talked with my grandpa about the missing things in "Hundred Shu Drive".Grandpa still hasn't found any clues. I don't know who got "Hundred Skills Exorcism" into the hands of someone, or whether it was cleaned up by some of my classmates as garbage.

Grandma thought about it, and said to grandpa and me: "The older these things are, the more fate they have to pay attention to. Since they are gone now, maybe the fate has come to an end. Your grandpa and you, don't touch these things again in the future. As for your grandfather, take good care of your body and take a rest. As for you, study hard and don't delay the business." Then we discuss roses again.She's been coming to my dreams less often lately and I don't know why.Grandpa didn't explain it either. Grandpa suddenly asked me about crooked Taoist priests.

I shook my head to indicate that I haven't paid attention recently.Many familiar teachers from my junior high school alma mater have been transferred to other places to teach, so I seldom visit my alma mater after returning from high school.During the period, I went there once or twice for accidental reasons, and only saw the white-haired woman coming down the stairs from a distance. It's just that the ruined temple is even more decadent and dilapidated, and the wild grass around it is deeper and denser.If it weren't for the woman with white hair and two white eyebrows, people passing by would have thought that no one lived in this house long ago.If you meet a lazy cowherd boy, the gluttonous cow will definitely break into the ruined temple to eat.

That time I saw that white-haired woman coming down the stairs. She came downstairs to drive a big bull that broke into the ruined temple recklessly.The big cow also pulled a pile of cow dung at the gate of the ruined temple.The white-haired woman timidly yelled and drove away the big bull, but I didn't see the Crooked Taoist show his face from the beginning to the end. When watching the white-haired woman tremblingly drive away the big bull, I suddenly saw in a trance that the ruined temple was the old house where my grandfather lived. In fact, this is not the first time such an illusion has appeared.

Grandpa said that he had heard others say that crooked Taoist priests had long since died.The debt collector has been chasing him in the underworld, making his soul restless.The white-haired woman went to sing filial songs to appease the souls of crooked Taoists. I was surprised by what Grandpa said.But since that time, I have never seen the crooked Taoist priest again, so I don't know whether what Grandpa said is true or not.After that Chinese New Year, I entered into a more busy preparation for the college entrance examination, and after I was admitted to the university, I went to the far northeast, and I only went home during the winter vacation every year, let alone going to my alma mater in junior high school.

In the end, I don't know where the lonely ghosts collected from the crooked Taoist's ruined temple went.However, I guess either the crooked Taoist priest converted them all before his death, or the crooked Taoist priest was converted by the white-haired woman after his death. Time flies.In a blink of an eye, the sound of firecrackers in every household rang.The couplets on the door and the red lanterns under the eaves all wantonly exaggerate the atmosphere of the Spring Festival. When we were celebrating Chinese New Year, something happened to the old farmer in Lishu Village.At that time, I was celebrating the New Year at my grandfather's house, and the old farmer was celebrating the New Year at his own house.What happened to him, I have no idea here.But for the convenience of narration, I put the things recounted by the old farmer and his granddaughter at the same time.

It was the morning of the first day of junior high school.The stars have not completely receded, and the sky is still hazy.But the people who got up early couldn't wait to light the firecrackers.Crackling explosions resounded from every corner, and the smell of gunpowder and sulfur filled the air. Because the first meal on New Year's Day is very rich, adults have to start preparing it in the middle of the night.After setting off the firecrackers to welcome the new year and eating the first meal of the new year, some adults go back to bed to sleep again, and some get together to play poker.The children's excitement was at its peak, so naturally they wouldn't go back to sleep, and they didn't have the hobby of playing cards. They set off firecrackers or played games on the ground in groups of three and four.

The old farmer's granddaughter is not yet eighteen years old, and she still has a playful heart.She took a few incense sticks after lighting the firecrackers, and went to the ground to plant incense. Just as she was throwing herself into the soft soil, a handsome man in white clothes came towards her. The girl was startled, and stood up blankly, with the incense in her hand flickering and extinguishing. The handsome man smiled and gently took her hand.She was at a loss, and asked him to hold her hand in a daze.She still holds incense in her hand. The man bowed his head and blew lightly on the incense burner.The ashes of the incense fell with his breath, revealing red spots that were so hot that they were almost transparent.The girl stared at the red dot in her hand in a daze, as if her soul had come out of her body.
