At the end of Qin, I became a son of the plane

Chapter 14, Sacrificing Ancestors

Chapter 14, Sacrificing Ancestors
  The method of causing trouble is somewhat effective. The Chen family has the lowest taxes in the entire Yang County. People in other places dare not make trouble, so they can only be squeezed by those officials.

This kind of thing has been the same throughout the ages. Although making trouble may be suppressed, it will also make officials afraid. If you endure it silently, they will take advantage of it.

Xu Fan has seen too many such things in later generations, and has seen too many ways to solve these problems, so he knows the greed of officials. As long as you are willing to suffer losses, there will be endless losses.

But Chen Gang, the head of the village, was just a local aboriginal. When the Qin Dynasty came to this land, they killed many people, and he was the most direct recipient. The fear of the Qin court was engraved in his bones.

He had been worried for more than ten days, fearing that they would be caught by the government and become prisoners, but the county government did not take any action, and he gradually relaxed. In his opinion, this matter should just be over.

The people in the Chen family were very grateful to Xu Fan for this matter. In addition, Xu Fan helped them raise their son to be fat and healthy. Now the family has food. After discussing for a while, the villagers decided that each household would give two stones of rice as Xu Fan's gift. This time, Xu Fan did not refuse. The teacher took it as a matter of course. The 23 students received a total of 46 shi of grain.

After struggling in this world for several months, I finally managed to get enough food and clothing. This can be considered a small progress.

But what happened to Chen's family soon left Xu Fan speechless. The villagers, who had a little surplus, were not thinking about reclaiming a few more acres of wasteland with food, but thinking about praying to gods and Buddhas.

Originally, there were many witch gods on the territory of Chu State, and the local people's belief in witch gods reached a very high level. Even though the Qin Dynasty later destroyed the Chu State, the Qin Dynasty's rule over this land was completely rootless and a colonial rule. There were only dozens of officials to help the Qin Dynasty rule the people in this vast area. In this case, the customs of Chu State for hundreds of years are still preserved.

This year, the people in the Chen family had some food, so the villagers began to discuss whether they should invite a powerful witch god to ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings. I guarantee that the children in the Chen family will be free from illness and disaster, and that the harvest will continue to be good next year.

Such a ridiculous thing actually got the approval of most of the villagers. Chen Gang, the village chief, also planned to invite a shaman god who could channel the Taitian Emperor to pray for blessings.

When Xu Fan heard the news, he immediately stopped Chen Gang's actions.

This year, your children are less sick, not because gods and ghosts are protecting you, but because I asked you to drink more boiled water. With all the food you have hoarded, you might as well send them to primary school. I promise to raise your sons to be fat and white.

Of course, Xu Fan would not really say this. After all, this is what people of this era believe in.

Xu Fan pretended to be angry and said: "I am a powerful wizard god. If you invite other wizard gods while I am here, aren't you slapping me in the face?"

At this time, Chen Gang remembered that when Xu Fan came to Chen's house, Chen Lin told them that Xu Fan was a powerful wizard and worshiped a god named Buddha, but he later became a master. Gradually, they forgot the identity of wizard Xu Fan.

They couldn't argue with Xu Fan's face. If they invited outside wizards, they could only leave the sacrificial matters to Xu Fan.

Although Xu Fan didn't understand how to pray for blessings in this world, he had seen too many large parties. Some locals in the Chen family have seen many sacrifices.

The worst case scenario is to get a pig's head as an offering to the ancestors, and then have a bonfire party and let a few people perform. As long as everyone eats well, drinks well, and has fun, the blessing ceremony is over.

So Xu Fan found Chen Xiu, Chen Gang's daughter Chen Lian, and Chen Lin's cousin's daughter Chen Yue. Taught them a set of sacrificial dance, which is actually the "Ji Mingyue" that Xu Fan saw in later generations. The dance movements are not complicated, just holding a fan and shaking it around, and doing a few left and right kicks.

Later, Xu Fan felt that the three girls dancing was too monotonous, so he pulled out his students and taught them a set of radio gymnastics. More than 20 children doing radio gymnastics in unison should be extremely shocking to the grown-up family.

In this way, Xu Fan prepared for several days. The evening of November 20st. Everyone in the Chen family came to the ancestral hall. Ah Sheng and three other children contributed a braised pig head, a plucked chicken, and a -pound big fish as sacrifices to the ancestors of the Chen family.

Although these sacrifices look simple, they are already the most abundant ancestor sacrifices that the Chen family has received in the past few decades.

Then, headed by the patriarch Chen Gang, all the villagers in the Chen family kowtowed to their ancestors and prayed for their blessings.

After worshiping their ancestors, everyone came outside the ancestral hall. At this time, there was a small high platform outside the ancestral hall. Xu Fan was beating the beat, Chen Xiu and other three girls were wearing brand new clothes, holding a folding fan and started to dance the moon dance according to the movements taught by Xu Fan.

Although there was no accompanying music, the villagers were extremely immersed in watching it and applauded it repeatedly.

Chen Gang said to Chen Lin beside him: "Master Xu must be from a noble family, even a great noble."

Chen Lin also nodded. Xu Fan knew how to choreograph, so he must have seen dancing. Those who have seen dancing these days are at least from a noble family.

Xu Fan didn't remember much about the movements of "Send the Moon". They were probably just a few fancy fan-opening movements, kicking left and right, so the dance ended quickly.

Xu Fan then brought Ah Sheng's children on stage, and 23 children stood neatly in three rows.

"The elementary school students' broadcast gymnastics begins now!" Under the leadership of Xu Fan, they performed chest-expanding and kicking movements, which was also extremely shocking.

The parents below even shouted in surprise: "This is my son!"

After completing this set of radio gymnastics, Xu Fan asked someone to bring a desk. He sat in front of the desk, took out the gavel and patted it.

"Snapped!"

Chaos first divided into Pangu, and Tai Chi's two rituals and four images were suspended.
  Zitian and ugly people come out, avoiding beast suffers from Chaoxian.

Sui people avoid eating fresh food when making fire. Fuxi draws hexagrams in front of yin and yang.
  Shennong ruled the world and tasted all kinds of herbs, and Xuanyuan rites the marriage couplet.

Of course Xu Fan couldn't remember all the contents of "The List of Gods". He just said that he remembered the contents, which basically followed the plot of the TV series.

What Xu Fan said was not very good. But in this era, even the Classic of Mountains and Seas has not yet appeared. The villagers in the Chen family only know about the gods, Tai Tiandi, and a few shaman gods. Now Xu Fan talks about the gods of heaven and the ancient kings and famous ministers. How have these locals in the Chen family ever heard of being so powerful? s story.

The witch god who can usually breathe fire is already a very powerful figure in their eyes. Compared with the fairy in Chen Fan's story who holds the sun and moon in his hand and picks the stars, this is simply a dimensionality reduction attack, and everyone is fascinated by it.
