Chapter 127 The Weird Ritual of Entering the Mountain
"Mr. Zhang Hao."

Wu Liang raised his hand in greeting.

Zhang Hao also smiled when he saw him, as a greeting.

Then, stepping on straw sandals, he stepped forward.

"Uncle Zhao." After greeting the villagers, he looked at the Jiaxian Temple behind them.

The villagers leave.

Wu Liang seized the opportunity and introduced: "Mr. Zhang Hao, hello, this is the chief director of our program group, Li Piyi and Director Li."

"Director Li, this is the mountain walker from Zhaojia Village, Mr. Zhang Hao."

"Mr. Zhang Hao, I have long admired your name, hello." Li Piyi offered to extend his hand with a kind smile on his face.

Zhang Hao also smiled and stretched out his hand: "Director Li, hello."

"I heard that this family fairy temple was built by Mr. Zhang Hao?" Li Piyi asked straight to the point.

Zhang Hao didn't intend to hide it, nodded and said: "Yes, I did build it."

"Then can I know why this family fairy temple was built?" Li Piyi asked again.

Zhang Haodao: "At that time, the foxes on the mountain kept yelling, maybe something happened, so I built this family fairy temple at the foot of the mountain. If you can accept the incense, be more peaceful."

"The effect is not bad. Since the construction of this family fairy temple, the foxes on the mountain seem to have been incensed, and they have stopped making trouble. Even the villagers have lost chickens and poultry much less."

Li Piyi nodded thoughtfully.

I have to say that he has seen a lot of this kind of magical family fairy temple or customs in various places over the years, and they all say it is useful anyway, but whether it is useful or not is unknown.

The same is true of this fairy temple. It is also unknown whether the foxes stopped making trouble because of the incense, or whether it was because of other reasons that made the foxes rest in peace.

"Director Li, we Zoushanren have a rule that we cannot be interviewed on camera." Zhang Hao glanced at the camera with concern.

Li Piyi immediately pressed his hand towards Zhang Wen behind him.

Li Piyi sized him up and asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhang Hao, are you going into the mountains with your outfit?"

Zhang Hao nodded: "Yes, as a mountain walker, you have to walk mountains for a living."

Li Piyi smiled: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Zhang Hao. Maybe you will inevitably disturb me in the future. You may need to consult something about the mountain. I hope Mr. Zhang Hao will not be stingy."

They just went into the mountains to shoot documentaries. After the filming, editing was inevitable. But in order to make the edited documentary look good and reasonable, he might really ask Zhang Hao for advice.

After all, as a mountain walker, Zhang Hao must be more familiar with the mountains than "laymen" like them. This can be regarded as saying hello in advance, and he will not be too abrupt when he really looks for Zhang Hao in the future.

Zhang Hao didn't immediately refuse: "If there is a chance, welcome."

Looking up at the sky, he checked the time and said, "Director Li, I'm getting ready to go into the mountains."

Everyone was stunned.

They raised their heads, looked at the path leading to the mountain, and looked at Zhang Hao in puzzlement.

If you want to enter the mountain, shouldn't you take the path at the foot of the mountain?
No matter what Zhang Hao meant, it seemed that he wanted to go behind them. Could it be that there is also a road leading to the mountain?

Li Piyi was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that Zhang Hao might want to pay homage to the Immortal Family Temple, so he stepped aside quickly: "Okay, Mr. Zhang Hao, do you mind if we take a look?"

"You can watch it, but you can't shoot it." Zhang Hao said.

Li Piyi was taken aback, and asked, "Mr. Zhang Hao, can you tell us why you can't be in the camera?"

Zhang Hao looked serious, and said: "I am worshiping the mountain god. This is the folk custom before entering the mountain. But on such a serious occasion, what is the proper way to take pictures here? And the most important thing is to be afraid of bad luck."

"Afraid of bad luck?" Li Piyi said.

Zhang Hao nodded: "When this kind of ceremony is held, if you use a shooting device to shoot, it is easy to shoot something that you don't really want to see. This is the same as not being able to look in the mirror in the middle of the night."

Everyone was a little thoughtful and a little surprised.

Then, Zhang Hao glanced at the crowd and warned: "If you take a picture, if you want to enter the mountain, it will not be good for you, and you will offend the mountain god."

Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed one after another, some were puzzled, some suddenly realized, and some frowned tightly and said nothing.

Li Piyi squinted his eyes, nodded, and then turned his head: "Since we are here, we will be safe. Everyone is strictly prohibited from filming, and filming must not be done. Did you hear that?"

"Understood, Director Li, we will definitely not shoot." Wu Liang took the lead and shouted.

The rest of the people also nodded, expressing that they would absolutely listen to the director's words and abide by the rules here.

After all, in the program group, the words of the chief director are orders and ancient imperial edicts.

Zhang Wen also nodded silently, and deleted the video captured by the camera.

Under everyone's suspicious eyes, Zhang Hao came to the fairy temple with a basket, straw sandals, and a dog.

Then, he didn't take out the incense sticks from the basket, but took some incense ash from the incense burner that the villager had just enshrined, and held it in his hand.

Don't pay homage to family immortals, but take incense ashes?
what is this operation...

What everyone didn't understand was that before Zhang Hao entered the mountain, he really didn't have the habit of visiting the fairy temple.

It is enough for the foxes to enjoy the incense every day relying on the villagers to come to worship the family fairy temple, and he brought the fox wood carvings there, which has created a causal relationship with the foxes invisibly. Every time the foxes receive a little incense, they will Keeping him safe invisibly is an added layer of protection.

However, this guarantee alone is useless.

And the incense ashes he obtained were the first incense ashes of Jiaxian Temple, which was the first stick of incense offered by the villagers after the sun rose that day.

The purpose of taking the head incense and ashes is naturally to prepare for the following ceremony before walking the mountain.

Before walking the mountain, Zhang Hao observed the sky, and at the same time, he used the [Mountain Observation Jue] to see some clues. This is a basic ability of mountain walkers. If you can't easily distinguish weather changes, it is not conducive to walking in the mountains.

But this time watching the sky, Zhang Hao discovered that in the next two days, there will be a heavy rain on the mountain, and this rain will be very heavy.

Picking the head incense is because of this matter.

And the main reason for going into the mountains knowing that it will rain heavily is mainly because Zhang Hao mentioned it in the records he saw in the "Mountain Travel Records".

Entering the mountain in special weather, or entering the mountain in different weather, the harvest will be different, and the mountain treasures you can encounter are also different.

Therefore, Zhang Hao wanted to give it a try, and see what difference he could get from entering the mountains under the condition of heavy rain.

If luck is overwhelming and you meet another mountain treasure, wouldn't it be a fortune!

And when it rains and enters the mountain, it is natural to pray and make some preparations.

After taking some incense ashes, Zhang Hao walked a few steps to the path leading to the mountain under the eyes of everyone.

In front of everyone, take out the censer from the Guling basket one by one and put it on the ground, put the incense ash from the head incense into the censer, and this time take out the standing incense and put it aside.

Just when everyone thought he was going to start worshiping,

Zhang Hao took out some strange things from the basket.

A few pieces of yellow paper, a few bamboo leaves, and a few short, but tough bamboo pieces.

This is what Zhang Hao prepared in advance, specially prepared for paper-making skills.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this, Li Piyi approached a few steps curiously, but still cautiously did not step forward to disturb, and just stood not far away to watch.

I saw that Zhang Hao picked up a piece of yellow paper, picked up the leaf with the other hand, and flew up and down with both hands at such a high speed that the few people watching didn't know what happened, so Zhang Hao picked up another piece of yellow paper , also picked up the remaining bamboo pieces.

Li Piyi squinted his eyes, and after looking at it for a while, he could vaguely recognize that Zhang Hao should be making paper from the technique and the state of gradual formation?
But why Zhang Hao tied the paper, he didn't know.

Soon.

In Zhang Hao's hand, there was an extra creature that looked like a fox, but also had the hooves of a deer, and the pattern of the word "king" of a tiger, but was shaped like a cow.

Although it is made of yellow paper, it is lifelike, almost indistinguishable from the real thing except for the color and texture.

Li Piyi couldn't help being surprised, his pupils shrank slightly.

To be honest, he has traveled all over the world for many years, whether in daily life or in various mountain villages, he has never seen a person like Zhang Hao who is so strong in paper-making skills, and who can make paper-making so similarly.

The rest of the people were also secretly surprised, and their impression of Zhang Hao deepened.

After piercing the "four different things", Zhang Hao didn't stop in his hands, picked up the yellow paper and leaves one after another, and continued piercing.

Afterwards, he stabbed hedgehogs, snakes, and weasels and other house immortals one after another.

In the end, after pulling out a tiger, he stopped.

However, there is nothing strange about this tiger, the only strange thing is that it seems to be holding a person in its mouth, which is very strange.

After finishing all this, Zhang Hao stopped what he was doing, picked up the standing incense on the side, lit it, and bowed three times to the "four different images" and the things that were stuck out. Lixiang was inserted into the incense burner.

After doing all this, Zhang Hao got up, and then took out his mobile phone, as if he was giving instructions to someone.

After receiving Li Siyu's response in the chat window, Zhang Hao put his phone back into his pocket, and stared directly at the "Mountain God" made with paper-making techniques, as well as the followers of the "Mountain God".

It is recorded in [Zoushan Travel Notes] that the "mountain god" is not a real thing, it can be said to be a consciousness, but it can also be said to exist in every spirit in the mountain.

Therefore, the image of the "mountain god" is a collection of mountain spirits, such as the eyes of a fox, the body of a cow, the hooves of a deer, and the pattern of the king character of a tiger. "Image.

Moreover, when he entered the mountain this time, the ritual he performed was different from usual.

It stands to reason that he usually only needs to worship the mountain god, worship the mountain spirit, and pay homage to the family fairy temple by the way.

But this time, he directly tied a yellow paper "Mountain God" out, and also tied out the "Mountain God"'s followers, those family immortals, and tigers.

I have to say that this mountain worship ceremony is very grand, and the tribute is also very powerful.

The purpose of doing this is also to truly get the blessing and attention of the mountain god.

After all, it is known that there will be heavy rain in the next few days, which is very likely to cause natural disasters. Therefore, Zhang Hao planned ahead, in order to avoid the risk of being trapped by disasters or dying due to disasters, so he specially held such a trek into the mountain. ceremony.

Attracting the attention of the "mountain god" and getting the blessing of the "mountain god" is naturally to avoid disasters and travel safely and smoothly.

This is also a ritual that every mountain walker of all ages will perform before it rains and enters the mountain, seeking peace of mind and peace.

And just now, he sent a message to Li Siyu so that Li Siyu could come here every day to enjoy a stick of incense.
