Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The next day was also New Year's Eve. Luo Ping didn't know about other places, but he had lived in Jiangcheng for so many years and had always had a New Year's Eve dinner at noon, but his father and Liu Lulu's family were accustomed to having a New Year's Eve dinner in the evening.  But in the end, these people compromised. After all, they had to do as the Romans do, so they decided to have a grand New Year's Eve dinner at noon. However, there was one very, very important thing to do before having the 'New Year's Eve dinner' in Jiangcheng, which was visiting the graves.  Generally speaking, people within the family visit the graves of the deceased elders, and those who are married do not count. No matter how far away you are on this day, no matter how big your official position is, if your elders are buried in your hometown, you must go back to visit the graves.  This is why people in Jiangcheng value the New Year's Eve so much, otherwise they will be poked in the back by others and said to be unfilial. Although Luo Ping was born in the capital, he is an out-and-out Jiangcheng person, so after breakfast that day, he and  My father went to the cemetery (visiting graves is limited to men in the family, which is why Jiangcheng people have a deep-rooted belief in favoring sons over daughters. Of course, if there are girls at home who are raised to eat 'old rice', you can also let your son-in-law visit the graves.) There are many types of graves.  They all have different ways of visiting the graves. In the countryside, there are all earthen graves, so when visiting the graves, men bring shovels to fill the soil and cut down the locust trees and firecrackers growing around the graves.  (Mulberry trees are a bad omen in the countryside. If there is a mulberry tree in front of your house, you must not let it exceed the roof, otherwise the house will definitely suffer all kinds of disasters.)  It's different in the city. The tombs are all tombstones, so you only need to bring a few bouquets of flowers and some fruit for offerings. However, you can't bring paper money, because according to folklore, the gates of hell are generally closed on the 24th. If you want to give money to those who have passed away  The New Year's money must be sent before this day. Of course, the day before is the best time. At this time, the elders will habitually go to the place where they receive the money and wait (this day is also the Little New Year's Eve in Jiangcheng, and the 23rd is Little New Year's Eve in most other places.  ) There is also a kind of grave, which is neither a soil grave nor a tombstone. To put it bluntly, it means a lonely ghost. Since you don¡¯t know the place where you died without seeing the body, you always bring a bottle of sake with you at the approximate place of death.  Spreading a little power is considered as filial piety to the elders.  Luo Ping had been pouring some sake on his mother by the East Lake before. Although he now knew that his mother was not completely dead, in order to prevent his father from becoming suspicious and others from becoming suspicious, he had to be more truthful.  The once bustling East Lake now has only a few or twos of chaffinches. The biggest difference between the Spring Festival and other festivals is that in other festivals, everyone rushes to the most prosperous places, while during the Spring Festival, everyone rushes to the countryside and towns. No, the whole  East Lake is deserted, which is unimaginable in normal times.  The two fathers did not speak during the whole journey. Luo Ping deliberately slowed down to let his father walk in front. This was a kind of respect and a silent expression of missing his mother. Looking at his father's old back in front of him, Luo Ping felt very uncomfortable.  When he went to Jiufeng Mountain some time ago, he still thought that his father was very healthy. After all, time is not forgiving, and once people get old, they will grow old very quickly.  Even if Luo Ping can use his wealth to restore it, he will still grow old unstoppably. After all, Luo Ping is not a god, and his wealth is not the elixir of immortality.  After arriving at the lake, the two masters looked at the sparkling lake water. Although the weather was good today, it still felt cold, as if the lake water contained endless ice cubes. Luo Xiangdong couldn't help but shudder.  Fortunately, Luo Ping stepped forward in time to hold him firmly and everything was fine.  "It's fine when I go out. Why is it so cold now? The lake has not frozen yet. Why is it so cold?" Luo Xiangdong said and tried jumping a few times to move around.  Luo Ping did not answer but stared at the lake in a daze. He remembered that when he was in Jiufeng Mountain before, it seemed that the lake was said to be connected to this lake and was the eyes of the entire dragon vein, and the biggest feature of that lake was  The water temperature is high and it is a huge hot spring pool. How could the water of East Lake become so cold?  "Kowtow to your mother a few times. Although you are not as good-tempered as me, you are still doing well. You are qualified to kowtow to your mother and make her happy in heaven." Luo Ping was in a daze.  When speaking, Luo Xiangdong patted his shoulder and signaled Luo Ping to kowtow.  Luo Ping quickly calmed down and kowtowed three times to the center of the East Lake. After kowtowing, he was about to look up at his father when he suddenly realized that he was no longer at the edge of the East Lake.  He seemed to be inside a cave wall, surrounded by endless black, and could only hear the sound of dripping water, as if falling from the cracks in the rocks above his head.  After Luo Ping stood still for a while, he tried to take steps and started walking inside. Unlike the jagged rocks he imagined, the inside was quite smooth, as if it had been washed by rain all year round. If he was not wrong, it might be a river.  , just because it is winter and there is no water.    After Luo Ping walked out more than ten meters away, suddenly there was a roar in front of him. If he listened carefully, it seemed to be the sound of the stone door opening.  Luo Ping trotted over quickly. Although he couldn't see the road under his feet and slipped a few times, he finally ran in before the stone door closed. Regardless of whether it was a trap or not, he had to go first.  After entering, a dazzling light suddenly came from the front. Luo Ping hurriedly blocked his eyes. After a while, the white light slowly became softer.  "Is it you uncle?" When Luo Ping saw Senior Uncle Long Xin and Senior Uncle together, he immediately changed his name and called him uncle, but he often didn't shout, which felt a bit awkward.  "Haha, very good. I haven't seen you for half a year, and you actually got another ear, and it was all absorbed faster than I thought." When Uncle Long Xin said this, his face darkened and he continued: "But  The situation is a bit tense now, and you must have noticed some abnormalities. The water in East Lake is unusually cold. This is all due to the lack of the three-legged Cloud Dragon Cauldron, which leads to uneven dragon veins. The underground river water below is complicated and has been diverted. Also,  Your mother's condition is not stable now. You have to find the remaining parts of the three-legged Yunlong Cauldron as soon as possible, you know? " "Can I see my mother?" Luo Ping didn't hear anything else.  He looked a little excited and wanted to see his mother again, but was ruthlessly stopped by Uncle Long Xin.  When Luo Ping wanted to go up and ask Uncle Longxin again, he felt dizzy. When he woke up, he was at the edge of the East Lake again, feeling as if he had just had a dream.
