Crackling!

At the foot of Tianmu Peak Mountain, Tianmu Village, Dawang Village, Xiaowang Village, Dongyou Village and Xiyou Village, almost every household raised some money specifically to send the newly created mountain gods into the mountain today. Firecrackers were blasting and gongs and drums were played.

In the noisy sky, the specially invited suona started blowing, and four burly men with bare arms carried the newly made Kotoushan statues around the five villages to pray for blessings.

“The mountain god is as blessed as the sky, blessing his people with good harvests every year!

Don’t be angry, mountain god, the incense offerings will continue year after year!”

…

A priest in colorful clothes was in front muttering incomprehensible incantations and scattering paper money, while behind him were a group of devout men and women from the village, all of them clasping their hands together and chanting devoutly.

This is how the mountain people at the foot of Tianmu Peak Mountain worshiped and prayed for the mountain god. In the past two days, the mountain god was alarmed and made Grandpa the mountain god angry. The mountain people were frightened and hurriedly carried the newly customized mountain god statue.

When you get out, you have to look around five villages before sending them to the mountain.

In the process of the mountain god traveling around the five villages, it is said that the more pious the villagers in whichever village behave at this stage, the more blessed they will be by the mountain god in the coming year.

"Village chief, it's not good! It's not good... I just received news... People from the city government are coming towards us."

Just when the mountain god statue was wandering around Tianmu Village, Zhao Wei hurried over and started shouting.

"What? The people from the city government must be here to cause trouble. Let the priest speed up immediately and let's go up the mountain. Otherwise, if the government people come later, it will be bad if they say that we are superstitious activities and get the handle...

"

The head of Tianmu Village immediately became nervous and shouted hurriedly.

As a result, the priest immediately speeded up and walked up the rugged mountain road with the sedan chair carrying the dog-headed statue.

However, before these people had time to go up the mountain, seven or eight cars from the city government chased them and stopped at the head of Tianmu Village.

"No! It's really Mayor Chen and the others who are here. Zhao Wei, why are you still standing there? Let the villagers disperse first, don't leave any clues!"

Don't look at it. When the village chief of Tianlao Village goes to the city, he can cry and make a fuss in front of the city hall. Because he knows that making a fuss in front of the city hall and so many people are watching is a public place. The city hall

I don’t dare to do anything to them. But now in this small and isolated mountain village, if the government uses high-pressure policies and brings the police over, and uses them to hold superstitious activities such as mountain god sacrifices, it will be more disadvantageous.

.

Therefore, the first thing the village chief of Tianmu Village thought of was to ask everyone to stop and avoid the limelight.

However, what the village chief did not expect was that all the senior government officials who got off the seven or eight cars were holding gongs, drums and suonas in their hands. He even saw the deputy director and director of the Public Security Bureau.

He took a bunch of firecrackers and crackled them as soon as he got out of the car.

"This...my mountain god grandpa! What is going on? Why are all the officials from the city government...all coming to help us light firecrackers!"

Not only the village chief was stunned, but other villagers were also completely dumbfounded. Why were these city officials wearing the same strange costumes to worship the mountain gods, holding suonas, gongs and drums, setting off firecrackers and throwing paper money like them?

"Old village chief! I'm really sorry! It was the tourism development opportunity in our city that made the mountain god of Tianmu Peak angry. Today we are specially here to apologize to the mountain god."

As soon as she got off the car, Chen Luping came to the village chief with a smile on her face and said sincerely.

"Mayor Chen, you...are you...really here to apologize to Grandpa Mountain God?"

The village chief was a little confused. He couldn't imagine that the mayor, who just yesterday said that the mountain people like him were superstitious, would actually lower his head and come to apologize to the mountain god, and even drag so many officials along with him.

Setting off firecrackers was a bit beyond his imagination.

"Yes! Look, we bought the best incense candles and firecrackers. Let's go up the mountain with you to worship the mountain god later!"

Chen Luping said with a smile, and Lin Feng followed her, covering her with spiritual consciousness, and then found that Dahuang, who had arrived a step earlier, was already heading towards the mountain temple on the mountainside, and he snickered in his heart and waited to see this group of people.

The superstitious mountain people behaved for a while.

"Mayor Chen, you...you are completely superstitious. Mountain people are ignorant and superstitious. Are you, a party member who believes in communism, also so superstitious?"

After getting off the car, Zhou Nan felt happy when he saw that all the department-level cadres in Zhi'an City were dressed like magic sticks. He felt that he had caught Chen Luping again, but he deliberately pretended to be so mean.

said.

"Vice Governor Zhou, I am not using high-pressure policies to intimidate the villagers, but I am integrating into their local folk customs. Where is the superstition? If setting off some firecrackers is called superstition, then every household sets off firecrackers to drive away the New Year during the Chinese New Year.

Isn’t the beast also called superstition?”

Chen Luping's retort left Zhou Nan speechless. However, Huang Tao pulled Zhou Nan over and said: "Vice Governor Zhou, let's just ignore what they do and wait and see what happens. Anyway, when the time comes, we will go back and let the reporters write the report.

Coupled with this superstition, I don’t believe that Chen Luping has not yet fallen..."

"Yeah! I want to follow and see what tricks Chen Luping is playing. But no matter how she pretends to be a ghost, those mountain people will never agree to the policy of developing tourist areas."

Vice Governor Zhou Nan has seen many such superstitious villagers over the years, and it is almost impossible to convince them that the power of superstition is very strong.

"Let's go! Then go up the mountain! Aunt Ping, let's follow the priest's team and send the mountain god up the mountain..."

At this time, Lin Feng had received the signal that Dahuang was ready, so he smiled slightly, gestured to Chen Luping and said.

"kindness!"

Chen Luping nodded, knowing that Lin Feng had made arrangements, so she said to the old village chief: "Village Chief, today we will accompany you to the mountain to offer sacrifices to the mountain god... Let the mountain god also feel our sincerity."

"Okay, okay...Mayor Chen, thank you very much. Thank you also for understanding us..."

On the surface, the village chief nodded happily, but in fact he was wary of Chen Luping. Although he was surprised that Chen Luping would bring so many officials to worship the mountain god, Jiang was still very old. After living for so many years, he certainly knew that Chen Luping must
