Chapter 23 I hold up incense to worship the gods
As soon as Li Zhouquan, the magistrate of Songjiang County, came in, he had a very considerate and considerate attitude on his face. After entering the room, he deliberately arranged his clothes and kept saying: : "Something happened in the town today. Fortunately, Mr. Xiong led someone to help. I am very grateful!"
Xiong Jiushan raised his hands and said humbly: "Sir Li, you have commended me. I have little ability, but I still have merit in taking charge of the overall situation!" "
Xiong Jiushan knew that the other party was not here for him. After exchanging polite words, he turned the topic to Xie Yuchuan.
Li Zhouquan knew Xie Yuchuan.
He is very aware of this man’s great achievements.
The Xie family, is that an ordinary family?
Many generals have made great contributions in the main beam!
To be honest, Li Zhouquan respects the old prince who has spent his life in the military. He doesn’t treat Xie Yuchuan who is standing in front of him at the moment. It’s just that his official rank is not high, he talks lightly, and he doesn’t want to disturb him. Just join in a mess of trouble.
In the evening, Xiong Jiushan came to the government office to report, but he was too lazy to show up, so he only sent the county magistrate to facilitate Xiong Jiushan.
It's just a formality.
He had already received the news that there were Xie family members in the exiled team.
There are a lot of legends about the Xie family in the market, so he is also curious about the Xie family, but no amount of curiosity can offset the black gauze hat on his head.
The staff in the yamen reminded him that the Xie family was despised by the Holy Emperor and suffered this disaster. If the Supreme Master did not want to be contaminated with meat and fish, it would be better to stay away from it, so as not to be splashed with mud.
Li Zhouquan felt that what his staff said was reasonable, so he wished that these exiles would leave the city as soon as possible.
Who would have thought that at night, the town would be in chaos and noisy again. As soon as he went out to deal with it, he came back and saw Xiong Jiushan coming to the door carrying and tying up people.
Li Zhouquan is simply...
The more he fears, the more he gets.
He asked people to make room for them. Xiong Jiushan wanted to report to him, but he just waved his hand and didn't want to hear it at all.
After taking his men out for a walk and coming back, Li Zhouquan was not a fool. The messy fight was clearly an attempt to cause trouble in his realm.
He pretended to be blind. Anyway, Xiong Jiushan was the escort officer. It was his responsibility to have anything happen to the prisoner. He, a government official who passed by and stamped the prisoner, was in charge of those nosy matters.
Just when I was eager to hide far away, someone came to report that the Xie family wanted to use the government office to ask gods to offer incense.
Li Zhouquan’s chubby body suddenly sat up from the recliner!
Xie Yuchuan wants to ask God? !
Didn’t the Xie family destroy the legendary god?
Li Zhouquan only hesitated for a moment in the study, then got up and came over.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, he would like to watch how the Xie family invites gods.
On the way here, the servant had already repeated to him what the old doctor said.
“The doctor said that the man can’t be saved.”
Li Zhouquan asked: “Are you sure the doctor said the man can’t survive?”
"I'm sure, I stopped him outside and asked him in detail."
Then Li Zhouquan became even more interested.
The gossip in Beijing spread that the Xie family was in trouble, but who knows whether it is true or not?
After he entered the room, he deliberately took a few steps forward and endured the discomfort to look at the unconscious Xu Su.
Tu Hua glanced at him from the bedside. Li Zhouquan did not realize that there was actually another "person" in the room.
He looked at Xie Yuchuan and asked: "I heard that you want to invite gods?"
Xie Yuchuan nodded: "Please do it for your convenience."
Li Zhouquan's eyes After turning around, he asked again: "I have heard about the Xie family's worship of gods. I wonder how you want me to facilitate it?"
"Excuse me, sir, please allow me three sticks of incense."
"Three sticks of incense are enough? No need to prepare other sacrifices?" Li Zhouquan asked curiously.
"It may not be feasible. Three Sticks of Incense is already very grateful for your help."
Li Zhouquan felt quite happy after hearing this.
There was no embarrassment, and he immediately asked someone to get three sticks of incense. Although Xie Yuchuan said he didn’t need it, he was too curious about whether the rumors about the Xie family were true, so he also asked someone to prepare some for the offering. Wine, melons and fruits, there is no shortage of things to worship Buddha in the house.
Li Zhouquan's mother also worshiped God every day in the temple at his back house, but after so many years of worshiping, she never saw him rise in official position or have many heirs. Li Zhouquan actually believed this in his heart.
Soon, the things were delivered.
Xie Yuchuan had already communicated with the family god and knew that Tu Hua wanted an independent space to treat Xu Su.
So, on the grounds that the gods wanted to be quiet, he took out all the people in Xu Su's room.
Xiong Jiushan was not at ease and couldn't stand Xie Yuchuan's firm attitude. Li Zhouquan was worried that his stubbornness would make the invitation to the gods come to nothing, and his words brought all Xiong Jiushan's people to the other side.
The entire room is unobstructed from left to right, but from here you can only see the opposite corner, and Xu Su inside is invisible.
Xie Yuchuan said in his mind: "Family gods, please do as you please, don't worry about this."
Tu Hua replied to him: "I will let you know if it's better, and try to delay it as much as possible."
Because she didn't know how long it would take her, given her abilities and Xu Su's current situation.
Xie Yuchuan was in the next room, laying out the tributes in a rare order and lighting incense.
Li Zhouquan, Xiong Jiushan and others were silent on the sidelines.
When it comes to offering sacrifices, we should always do it solemnly and avoid making mistakes.
Xiong Jiushan is a martial artist and doesn’t believe in the Xie family’s stuff, but the people of Daliang have always been more respectful towards the gods.
To sum up, the reason for this matter can probably be related to the Xie family.
In the historical records of Taizu, the gods of the Xie family ask heavenly soldiers and generals to help the king. There are also various folk sacrificial activities from the beginning to the end of each year. Sacrifice to gods has a very broad public base in Daliang .
Xiong Jiushan's attitude was impeccable. He mainly stared at Xie Yuchuan.
Li Zhouquan was in a more excited mood.
He watched all Xie Yuchuan's movements intently, remembering them in his heart.
The legend of the Xie family’s gods really happened. Outsiders don’t know what the Xie family uses to worship the gods on weekdays, let alone the fact that they can watch with their own eyes the process of the Xie family’s worshiping of gods.
Li Zhouquan felt that his family was very pious in worshiping gods, so he went to Hongfa Temple every year to pay for incense.
But none of the things he wanted to do came true.
Right now, there is a ready-made case in front of me.
He stared at all Xie Yuchuan's movements and techniques, and even listened carefully to see if there were any prayers to God in his mouth.
Looking at it, I couldn’t help but feel hot in my eyes.
Look at the ritual of a famous family worshiping gods!
He just said that his mother's method of burning incense, kowtowing, and talking back and forth on the wheel was not working.
Look at people thanking their families and worshiping gods.
From the order and technique of presenting the offerings, to even the manner in which the water is poured, the authenticity can be seen everywhere!
Seeing that Xie Yuchuan's method of lighting incense was also unusual, he secretly watched it, thinking that he would go back to the Buddhist hall to try it later.
Could it be said that the Xie family’s method is the correct way to perform sacrifices?
Xie Yuchuan knew about this and acted urgently, just to cover up the family god and save people.
But he still didn't want to bother with worshiping God.
Since he was a child, he lit incense and kowtowed in the Xie family ancestral hall many times, but there was no sign of the gods.
However, the Xie family was in the most critical moment.
The family god is really here.
This great kindness cannot be repaid.
Since his release from prison, he has never lit a stick of incense or toasted a glass of wine to her.
Now, the tributes are crude.
But he is willing to pay tribute with a sincere heart!
