Chapter 137 Mazu Goes on Tour

After the whole village had fasted for seven consecutive days and had a dojo, the Mazu patrol ceremony began on the morning of the eighth day. The villagers gathered around the entrance of the Mazu temple early in the morning to watch the excitement.

The ceremony band invited two groups to take turns playing music at the Mazu Temple. When the time came around 9 o'clock in the morning, an old woman carefully took out one of the two Mazu statues in front of the Mazu statue, and another middle-aged fisherman girl carried it away. Arrive in the mikoshi, put it upright and tie it with red silk.

The village chief placed three sticks of incense in each of the three incense statues in front of the statue, and then signaled the people outside the temple gate to sound the gong to clear the way.

The ones walking at the front were the gong copycats carrying the "clearing the way" flag and the firecrackers. Behind them were the ones holding "avoidance" plaques on the left and right sides. The young and middle-aged people following closely behind were holding up their hands with the words "peace in all seasons" written on them. , "The country is peaceful and the people are safe", "The weather is good" and other words.

There are a group of ceremonial bands in the middle and at the end of the procession. Mazu is sitting on a wooden palanquin and is carried by eight young adults in the middle. The maids on both sides are dressed as little girls from the village, eight in total.

Ye Huimei was also chosen to be a maid, with a flower basket in her hand and ready to go.

When the children of the Ye family saw it, they all shouted: "It's my sister-in-law, it's my sister-in-law."

"My sister-in-law looks so beautiful after applying powder today~"

It was rare to see the excitement, and almost everyone in the village came out to accompany Mazu on her tour. Since there was no school on the weekend, it was not just the children of the Ye family. All the older and younger children in the village jumped behind.

Ye Huimei heard the screams of the children at home, looked over, and smiled slightly, but when she looked away, she caught sight of A Guang, whose eyes were straight in the distance. She blushed slightly in embarrassment, and then followed the team intently. go ahead.

There were also people in the crowd discussing whether Ye Huimei didn't have a partner yet, wondering if there were any relatives of similar age that they could introduce.

Everyone in the Ye family looks very good, but Ye Huimei has become a little darker after a summer, but today she specially applied powder to make her skin fair, and she is quite eye-catching among the maids.

Aguang listened unhappily to the discussions of others, but was helpless. Everything must be done step by step, so he kept following the mikoshi helplessly.

At the back of the team, there are people carrying firecrackers and firecrackers in two-legged baskets, which are set off by dedicated personnel as they walk.

Accompanied by the sound of gongs, drums, firecrackers and firecrackers, the patrol team walked along the uneven seaside gravel road, climbed up the ancient stone steps, walked through the avenues and paths of the fishing village, either up the ridge or down the slope.

When Mazu goes out on a tour, she will visit all the roads in the village and stop at the doorsteps of all villagers' homes. An offering table will be placed at the door of some homes. The head of each household will burn three sticks of incense until all the people are there. After visiting the village, the honor guard headed to the beach.

I walked along the river bank from east to west, then walked to the beach, and then stopped in the middle of the entire beach.

The ceremonial band also comes forward to perform for Mazu and play a piece of music to bless the fishermen's safe production at sea and their family's good fortune. They also pray for the fishermen's boats to be lucky, to be dispatched from disasters, to have good fortune, and to have full tides and prosperous water.

According to legend, Mazu's real name is Lin Mo. She is a descendant of the Jiumu Lin family, a prominent family in Putian, Fujian Province. She was born on the 23rd day of the third lunar month in the first year of Jianlong in the Song Dynasty. ….

Before she was born, her parents had given birth to five daughters. They hoped that this child would be a son, but were disappointed.

But on the evening before she was about to be born, the neighbors saw the meteor turning into a red light and shooting from the northwest sky. It was so bright that the rocks on the island turned red.

Therefore, her parents felt that she was no ordinary girl, so they loved her very much. Because she did not cry until she was one month old, they named her Lin Mo.

When she grew up, she determined to do good deeds and help others throughout her life. She refused to marry when she failed, and her parents obeyed her wishes. She devoted herself to charity work, studied medical science, treated people's illnesses, and taught them how to prevent epidemics and eliminate disasters.

She has a gentle temperament and is eager to help others, and her reputation spreads far and wide along the coast. No matter who encounters any difficulties, they are willing to discuss them with her and ask for her help. She also enthusiastically helps the villagers who ask for her to resolve difficulties and avoid disasters.

Lin Mo, who grew up on the coast of the sea, is not only familiar with astronomy and meteorology, but also familiar with water properties. There are many rocks in the strait between Meizhou Island and the mainland. Fishing boats and merchant ships in distress in this sea area are often rescued by Lin Mo, so it is said that she can cross the sea on a seat.

She can also predict good and bad luck, and will inform the boat owners in advance whether they can sail. Therefore, it is said that she can "predict good and bad things", and she is called "Goddess" and "Dragon Girl".

The ninth day of September in 987 was the day when Lin Mo, who was only 28 years old, became immortal and ascended. In fact, she died during a rescue operation at sea.

But in later legends, on the day Lin Mo became an immortal and ascended, people on Meizhou Island said they saw Mazu riding on the long wind and riding auspicious clouds, soaring in the bright day.

From then on, sailing people said that they saw Lin Mo flying on the sea in red clothes, rescuing people who were in distress and calling for help. Therefore, it is gradually common for Mazu statues to be enshrined on ships to pray for safe and smooth sailing.

Because of his ability to save people and benefit people, he was revered as the "God of the Sea" in the southeastern coast of China and even in East Asia, and temples were erected to offer sacrifices.

Today's outing to worship, except that there is no banquet, is no less than the standard on Mazu's birthday.

After the ceremonial band performs, you only need to walk to the tide to the temple.

The villagers escorted and followed Mazu from beginning to end. After Mazu took her seat in the Mazu temple, an old woman knelt down with a cup of tea and prayed, and then respectfully returned the statue to its place. This procession ceremony came to an end. Then everyone went back to their homes and dispersed.

"Dad, pee~pee~"

Ye Yaodong suddenly panicked, "Wait a minute, you can't pee. If you do, I will spank your ass."

While talking to him, he hurriedly put Ye Chengyang down from his neck. Because he was small, walked slowly, and couldn't see him, Ye Yaodong directly lifted him around his neck halfway.

Ye Chengyang couldn't wait any longer and shouted anxiously: "I need to pee... pee..."

He had only pulled down his pants a little bit, and he couldn't hold back his pee anymore. Most of his pants were wet, and Ye Yaodong's hands were covered with his urine, but at least he didn't pee on his neck.

"Didn't you know that you had to pee earlier? Do you have to be so urgent? Your intestines are not straight."

Lin Xiuqing muttered a few words, then took off his pants and patted his butt twice. ….

The children on the side stretched out their index fingers to scratch their faces and laughed at him: "Shame on your face~"

"Bare buttocks, shameful face~"

"Ye Chengyang is so embarrassed~"

He immediately buried his head between his father's legs in embarrassment, but passed through it, and immediately found that it seemed quite fun, just stretching and retracting there...

Ye Yaodong lifted him up with black lines on his head, "Go home!"

Lin Xiuqing led her eldest son to follow him, but he refused to leave.

"Pei Shun, if you haven't left yet, why are you standing there?"

"You care about me?"

"Grass……"

Ye Yaodong still wanted to say something disrespectful, but Lin Xiuqing tugged at the hem of his clothes and said, "He's back, what do you care about him?"

"Aren't I asking a few questions about my friend?"

She rolled her eyes. In the past three days, Aguang had been free to send bananas and persimmons to their family. He told them that they had a lot of them, but he still sent them.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see it, but they didn't say it out loud. Anyway, Ye's mother was the one to worry about, and it was not their turn to worry as brothers and sisters-in-law.

Ye Yaodong also understood that she was just a little unhappy. In his previous life, his little sister came to scold him every three days. After scolding, she kept sending gifts to his house. After Lin Xiuqing was diagnosed with cancer, she had no daughter to take care of her, and her daughter-in-law had not yet She had been busy taking care of him for several months, and had helped pay a lot of medical bills. Of course he was interested in who she would marry.

"Go back, it's very late, go back and eat quickly."

Ye Yaodong glared at A Guang before turning around and leaving. .
