Ye Rongyao looked at only 200 honor points left, gritted his teeth and quit the lottery interface. There was no way, Ye Rongyao had great use for the remaining 200 honor points left.

Forget it, since there is no lottery, Ye Rongyao couldn't help but check that he had no attributes for a long time.

Seeing that his position as a talented and single-skilled farmer, Ye Rongyao understood that this art probably refers to chess and calligraphy. Now he knows qin skills, all of them are single-skills. Of course, these are just Ye Rongyao's own guesses. Ye Rongyao himself doesn't know whether this is true.

I didn't know if I didn't look at it. When I saw it, Ye Rongyao almost forgot that in just three or four months, he actually had so many skills, which made Ye Rongyao feel like he was a little superman.

Monday, November 23, 2015, the twelve month of the lunar calendar (small) month, stems and branches, Dinghai month, Guimao day in the year of Yiwei.

Haircut, consecration, lifting, dismantling, decoration, burial, start construction, transaction, set up coupons, hang plaques, set up beds, and planting.

Enter the house, move, work as a stove, pray for blessings, sacrifices, get married, thank the soil, dig wells, build houses, and visit diseases.

This is the day when the elderly in the village who know how to tell fortunes about feng shui start construction based on the almanac. In China, building houses, building roads, and marrying wives must be chosen based on the almanac to ensure smooth sailing.

The almanac, or the imperial calendar, was produced on the basis of the Chinese lunar calendar and has many calendars that represent the good and bad luck of the day.

According to legend, the Huangli was created by Emperor Huangdi of Xuanyuan, so it is called the Huangli. It is also commonly known as "Tongshu" among the people. However, because the word "shu" in Tongshu is homophoned with the word "shu", it is also called Tongsheng because it avoids taboos.

The main content of the almanac is the date table of the twenty-four solar terms, the good and bad luck of the daily, the fortune of the zodiac signs, etc.

However, before the start of construction, there was a ceremony to worship the mountain gods. In the countryside, people were still relatively feudal. Before opening mountains and building roads, they were always worshipped.

In the eyes of rural people, opening mountains and building roads is about disturbing the gods. If you don’t worship the gods, you will easily be amazed by the gods.

Once you are upset by the gods, the gods will cause disasters, which is a great thing, so the elderly in the village attach great importance to it. All the things needed for the sacrifice a few days ago have been set up. Ye Rongyao doesn't understand this, just sign and pay.

Anyway, Ye Rongyao is clearer that he can be petty about any money, but the money needed for sacrifice cannot be given less than a penny, and he must buy the best of everything. No one can be poor, and no one can be poor in the gods. That would be very disrespectful.

No one wants to make the legendary gods unhappy, not to mention that Ye Rongyao grew up in the countryside and was also very superstitious about these magical things.

At around 7:30 in the morning, the old and young men and women in the village came to the entrance of the village to attend the ceremony of worshiping the mountain gods.

Everyone placed a few square tables in the middle of the road, and placed various tributes on the table, most of which were fruits, with big pig heads in the middle, as well as some incense, paper, candles, etc.

You should know that worshiping gods comes at the cost of offering gifts. When people submit to gods, they can kneel down and kowtow, burn incense and burn paper, but the most affordable way to sacrifice for gods is to offer sacrifices.

In the eyes of the ancients, people have seven emotions and six desires, and the same is true for gods. Since people have prayed for gods, they should be willing to take out their best things to sacrifice them to win the favor of gods.

However, people have different preferences, and different gods also have their own tastes, so the offerings are diverse. The main thing is meat.

After all, in the eyes of the ancients, among many foods, meat was the most important. In the era of primitive collection and hunting, meat was hunted by people with their lives. When primitive agriculture and animal husbandry developed, meat was still extremely precious.

The ideal life conceived by Mencius in ancient times was the important criterion for being able to eat meat at the age of 70. The gifts for disciples to become masters were just two bundles of jerky, which shows that meat was rare.

Because of this, carnivore became the main sacrifice to gods. In ancient times, carnivores used for sacrifice were called "sacrificial", referring to horses, cows, sheep, chickens, dogs, pigs and other livestock. Later generations were called "six livestock". The most commonly used six livestock were cattle, sheep, pigs, and three animals. Fish, rabbits and wild game can also be used for sacrifices, but they are not included in the "sacrificial".

In addition to "sacrifice", the food used as a sacrifice also has grains, called "sacrifice". Fresh and tender fruits and vegetables are also commonly used in folk sacrifices. After Buddhism was introduced to China, the fruits were more abundant in the "fast sacrifice". In addition, wine was also a common sacrifice for sacrificing gods.

As for the origin of the sacrifice, it is said that in the distant ancient times, the ancestors of human beings cut through the mountains and rivers, explored land, and settled the country. After being hit by wind, rain, thunder and lightning, they suddenly felt awe of nature in their hearts, and believed that the mountains, rivers, and all things in the sky, earth, sun, moon, and all the mountains, rivers, and all things have their own gods.

Later, with religious thoughts, this concept of Shinto became more specific and practical, and the Chinese people had a broad mind.

It is always believed that since God comes to protect humanity, the more Gods, the better, so they do not refuse. Buddhism has Buddhist gods and Buddhas, Taoism has Taoist gods, and although Confucianism has not developed religious forms and religious organizations, Confucius once said that "intelligent and upright is called gods", which is equivalent to setting a standard for the "divine nature".

Under this concept, many saints, wise ministers, great scholars, famous generals who have made their mark in the history of the country in history, as well as loyal ministers, righteous men, noble wives, and filial sons who have aspirations in various places. Anyone who conforms to the "godly character" and who has shown his deeds, who are born as heroes and have a spirit after death, has the opportunity to establish a temple to worship.

With the vast land, the population, the long history, the prosperity of cultural relics, and the many sources of gods, it is not surprising that there are gods and Buddhas in China to protect the people of the world and receive incense from all directions.

In addition to essential sacrifices, incense pillars are also indispensable, because in ancient legends, people cannot communicate directly with gods, and they must express their wishes to gods through burning the altar smoke of the incense pillars.

As the saying goes, "When you enter the temple to worship gods, and when you enter the house to call people." This is a kind of respect and politeness. When you enter the temple to worship gods, you need to offer incense, but it does not mean that the gods will suck these incenses. This is a way to greet the gods.

"Start worship the mountain god, play music and set off cannons."

As soon as he arrived at eight o'clock, Ye Kongming, who was the main priest of the sacrifice, shouted loudly, announcing that the ceremony of worshiping the mountain god had officially begun.

After setting off the cannons, he began to light candles and incense, and when he started worshiping, he also had to recite a large string of sacrificial texts that Ye Rongyao could not understand. Ye Rongyao didn't have to worry about anything, just worship and kneel down like the main staff in the village.

It took half an hour to worship the mountain gods, and the sacrifices were removed. These sacrifices were taken back to everyone to eat, so that everyone could enjoy the spirit of immortals. After all, in people's consciousness, after these sacrifices were tributed, the gods would only eat a little, and the rest would be given to people.
