My life in another world is up to me

Bian Qing fell asleep until the stars filled the sky.

When he opened his eyes, his vision was pitch black, only a faint starlight came in through the door and window, casting white light and shadow on the floor tiles.He supported the bed board with his hands, looked around in a little confusion, and touched a warm body with his palm, it was Su Yulang.

So, it's already night?

He got out of bed in a daze, pulled on his cloth shoes, rubbed his eyes with one hand, and groped for the door.His stomach is a little tangled, and the food he ate before going to bed has long been digested, making him feel a little hungry.Subconsciously, he wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, and as soon as he pushed open the bedroom door, he saw Su Ziyi bathing in the moonlight.

Su Ziyi did not meditate at this time.

In fact, according to his practice experience for more than half a year, whenever the sky is full of stars, the aura in the night sky is also more active, which is a very suitable time for meditation.But today, after watching Xie Shanyi's Nuo opera, he became inexplicably lazy, and suddenly wanted to do something else instead of meditating as before.

According to Bian Qing's instructions, after completing the set of offering procedures, he cooked a sumptuous dinner with the chicken he killed in the morning.He didn't bother to wake up the two people who were still sleeping. After eating a few bites, he moved the small table to the courtyard, cooked a plate of peanuts, brought a porcelain bottle of wine, and leaned on the bamboo chair. On the bed, pondering slowly against the moonlight.

Today, the entire Luoshan Village was too tired. Not long after the sun went down, the whole village was quiet.

Sitting in the yard, Su Ziyi could only hear the occasional sounds of cicadas and crickets, or a few sparse dog barks, and the tip of his nose always felt a burning smell of burnt firecrackers. The feeling that Fangfo was the only one made Su Ziyi feel very calm. He didn't think about anything. With the wine, he felt a little drunk.

But no matter how drunk he was, when Bian Qing pushed the door open, he was keenly aware of it.He turned his head unconsciously, and saw Bian Qing standing in front of the bedroom door like a fool, staring at him in a daze, motionless.This kind of Bian Qing made Su Ziyi laugh a little, the corners of his eyes were pulled down, and the corners of his mouth opened into a smile: "What are you thinking when you stand there?"

After seeing Su Ziyi's erratic eyes, Bian Qing became sober, and the drowsiness that haunted him before was thrown into some corner.He looked at Su Ziyi who was smiling brightly, and was taken aback for a moment. He had never seen Su Ziyi smile so happily for a long time.

This didn't make him feel happy, but it made him frowned. He glanced away, and as expected, he saw the wine glass and wine bottle in Su Ziyi's hand.

He took three steps at a time and stood in front of Su Ziyi, looking down at him with deep eyes, "Are you drunk?" He shook his head: "This kind of low-purity wine, how can it be so easy to get drunk."

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Bian Qing: "It's past Wu o'clock now, you should be hungry too, I left food in the pot, you go and have a look." His tone and content matched his The usual habits and temperament made Bian Qing realize that the person in front of him was indeed not drunk, but because of the stimulation of alcohol, he was a little more relaxed than usual.

Only then did Bian Qing heave a sigh of relief, following Su Ziyi's words, he found dinner in the kitchen.

Today's dinner, Su Ziyi cooked quite well.As soon as Bian Qing lifted the lid of the pot, under the dim light of the oil lamp, he found that it was his favorite food, which warmed his heart. He put the oil lamp on the stove, and took the still warm sea bowl with one hand. He didn't eat in the kitchen, he just walked out with the food in his hands, pulled out a stool, and sat on the other side of the small table.

"That child Yulang won't wake up tonight." Su Ziyi shook the wine glass in his hand, eyes blinded.

"Well, but I'll be starving tomorrow morning."

"That's okay." Su Ziyi drank the wine in his glass in a sip, with a sense of freedom and ease: "Anyway, I got up early, so he will have something to eat tomorrow morning."

"You—" Looking at Su Ziyi who was obviously in a good mood, Bian Qing didn't know whether he should ask.But his call still attracted Su Ziyi's attention, so Su Ziyi looked over immediately, and snorted: "Huh?" Seeing the other party's appearance, Bian Qing breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, and put it in his mouth. He took a bite of the food, chewed it a few times and swallowed it before asking: "You seem to be in a good mood today."

"Is there?" Hearing this, Su Ziyi was a little confused. He squeezed his chin: "It's just that I'm a little lazy today. It just so happens that the moonlight is good today, which makes people feel quite relaxed."

"That's it."

"Well, today's Nuo opera is quite exciting, I've never seen anything like this before." Su Ziyi sighed a little. "You may look a little fresh now, but next year, the year after that, you can only enjoy it if you watch too much." Bian Qing has watched the same performance for ten years, although it is indeed interesting, but watching Too much, and it's kind of boring.

"It's possible, but I think the stories inside are quite interesting." Su Ziyi straightened his legs and crossed his fingers on his abdomen, looking comfortable: "What do you say those stories express?" Without waiting for Bian Qing to speak, he continued on his own: "I always feel that it should not just be a legend."

Hearing Su Ziyi's question, Bian Qing smiled. This crisp laughter was very abrupt in this night, and immediately attracted Su Ziyi's full attention: "What are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." Bian Qing shook his head, and when he looked at Su Ziyi, his eyes slightly bent, showing a sly look: "Although there are some discrepancies, Xie Shanyi is indeed not that simple." "Oh?" Su Ziyi immediately mentioned what Bian Qing said. Spirited, but Bian Qing didn't intend to say more, just winked at Su Ziyi: "You will know until tomorrow night."

His words were like tickling a cat, arousing Su Ziyi's curiosity, but no matter how much Su Ziyi stared at him, he was still unmoved and kept eating the food in the bowl.

Su Ziyi's cooking really suits his taste.

Bian Qing secretly laughed.

No matter how low the purity was, the wine still affected Su Ziyi after all.After he finished his practice in the morning and exhausted all the turbid qi in his body, he immediately regretted his actions last night.But after regretting it, he began to be amazed by Bian Qing's transformation. Unexpectedly, Bian Qing had changed so much that he even dared to joke with himself.

This reminded Su Ziyi of the time when he was in college. At that time, he would often play appetizing games with the people in the dormitory.

But compared to the situation at that time when he cooperated with other people just for fun, this time Su Ziyi was really interested in what Bian Qing said.However, if Bian Qing didn't say anything, he wouldn't be able to pry Bian Qing's mouth open.As for asking Su Yulang, that child is probably more confused than himself, and he can't ask anything.

Fortunately, he is a patient person, since Bian Qing didn't say anything, then he just waited.

His calm appearance discouraged Bian Qing who was waiting to see his jokes.He still wanted to tease Su Ziyi, thought Bian Qing, who was arranging the offerings.

Because today is Xie Shanyi's last day, but also the most important day.

So Bian Qing got up early in the morning to do things. He first picked up the incense candles and other things, and then slaughtered the poultry to be used. The chickens killed yesterday were eaten by them at night, and they were used as sacrifices. For sacrifices, only fresh ones can be used, so all morning, with the light of a knife in Bian Qing's hand, he quickly ended the lives of the chickens, ducks and fish that were specially bought as sacrifices.

With the help of Su Ziyi and Su Yulang, the other fruits and cakes to be washed and steamed were finally put away before evening.

Bian Qing heaved a sigh of relief after preparing all the sacrifices, but he still didn't dare to relax.Because the ceremony started at the fifth hour, before the fifth hour, he not only had to finish the household affairs, but also washed up to ensure that he was clean. Follow the village to perform sacrifices together.

So even with Su Ziyi's help, time is very tight.

By the time the family could go out, it was already half past unitary hour.Bian Qing wanted to walk faster, but was worried that if he walked too fast, he would sweat and let the bath he just took be wasted, but he walked slowly, and worried that there would not be enough time for the arrangement.But fortunately, the Su family was not that far from the entrance of the village, and it only took a quarter of an hour for the whole family to arrive at the venue.

At this time, the venue under the banyan tree at the entrance of the village was very lively.

Fires were already lit in the two iron pots on the nine high platforms, shining brightly in the already blue-gray sky, illuminating the site brightly, just because all the villagers placed their tables under the banyan trees, So it's not very clear what's under the tree.The villagers can only use the dim light coming in from the outside to arrange sacrifices on their own tables, and put the incense burner or rice cylinder in the middle of the table, which is filled with rice or other grains, and wait for the next day. The incense sticks and joss sticks are lit and inserted.

"Light the candles here later." When Bian Qing placed the sacrifices on the table in order, he did not forget to tell Su Ziyi, and put a candle into his hand.

"Just one candle is enough, and it should be placed on the left side of the incense burner." He took the fruit plate with green oranges and pears from Su Yulang's hand: "When the ceremony starts, only one person from each family will be left here to light the incense candles." These things. You are the head of the family, so these things will naturally be left to you." After finishing the last task in hand, he raised his eyes to stare at Su Ziyi and said seriously: "I, A-Lang, stand over there. After you light the incense and salute, we will meet again."

"Okay." Because of the cover of the banyan tree, the light was not so bright, but when he looked at Bian Qing, Su Ziyi felt that Bian Qing's eyes were surprisingly bright.

Time passed quickly, and soon there was not even a trace of the sun at the end of the sky, and the entire sky was black.Bian Qing lit the torch brought from home, and Su Yulang, who was holding the sacrifices to be burned, quickly retreated to the outermost part of the white frame, and squeezed into the front of the crowd with Yang Xu, eyes unblinking Looking at Su Ziyi who was standing straight in front of his square table.

"The one in your family is quite similar." Before the ceremony started, the talkative Yang Xu leaned over and chatted with Bian Qing: "I really didn't see it before."

"En." Bian Qing's reply was a bit perfunctory, he didn't dare to blink, for fear that he might miss any change in Su Ziyi's body.

But Su Ziyi, who was standing in front, didn't feel any discomfort at all. He squeezed the fire folder, incense sticks, and candles in his hand, and then looked up at the altar which was only six or seven feet away from him.The village chief was busy on it alone, but there was no fire in the iron pot on the altar, so Su Ziyi couldn't see the village chief's face clearly.

Soon, Youshi will end.Under the scolding of the elders in other villages, the group of people standing on both sides of the venue immediately silenced their noisy voices, and became as quiet as the people standing in the middle.Then, the fires that were originally lit on the high platform were extinguished one by one, and Su Ziyi's vision became darker and darker in an instant.

But even though the line of sight was getting darker and darker, no one screamed out in a fuss. Obviously, everyone has already adapted to such a scene.

Loss of vision sharpens other senses.Su Ziyi could hear the sound of the village men jumping down from the high platform (they were the ones who put out the fire just now), and he could also hear the sound of the village chief walking down the steps from the altar, but no matter what it was The sound didn't disturb Su Ziyi at all, as if he hadn't been disturbed at all, his eyes were firmly fixed in front of him, trying to find something in the invisible darkness.

Unlike yesterday's noise, the opening of the festival tonight was silent.

As soon as Wu hour arrived, the village chief who was standing under the altar walked up to the center of the altar again. The moment he stood still, the two people hidden beside the iron pot support of the altar immediately lit the wood, and let the iron Flames burst out of the pot, and with a "chi la", the situation on the altar was clearly illuminated.

The altar is still the same as the first day, except for a few old blank tablets and a large incense burner, there are some other offerings on the long table of the altar today, and those offerings are placed on the table with the villagers. It is almost the same as above, but there are more types and it looks more refined.What is more noticeable is that at a distance of more than ten feet below the altar—three or four feet directly in front of Su Ziyi and the others, there appeared a pile of firewood propped up by arm-thick firewood. The pebbles formed a circle.

But at this moment, the village head, wearing a blue-gray high crown and meticulously brushing up his silver hair, and wearing a robe of the same color with auspicious clouds embroidered on the side of his clothes, suddenly elongated his voice. His voice, on the contrary, was like the martial arts singers Su Ziyi had heard before, his voice was tough but not stiff, but there were thousands of twists and turns in just a few words: "——

Respectfully - Xie Shan - Yi! "
