Fangzheng did not doubt Lone Wolf's words. Although Lone Wolf was often unreliable, he would not lie to Fangzheng.
Lone Wolf continued, "Master, look. You aren't full, and neither am I. Why don't I go get some so that we can fill the bottom? "
Fangzheng rolled his eyes at him. "No matter how rich I am, I have no obligation to entertain you for free. Receiving them was a form of kindness. How could he feel resentful just because the other party had surplus food? Don't even think about stealing things in the middle of the night! "
After being reprimanded by Fangzheng, Lone Wolf smacked his lips in silence. After a while, he still didn't give up and asked, "Master, that's what you said, and I understand the logic. But this hunger is real … Forget it, let's just let it be. Aren't you curious why she made so many delicious food? "
Although Fangzheng wouldn't go as far as stealing, he was still curious. It was definitely unusual for a Daoist temple to suddenly make so many delicious dishes. Was she going to hold a banquet? That's not right. Wanderer Tranquil said that she basically didn't have any customers. Even if there were passersby, there would be tea and tables and chairs at the entrance. There was no need to enter the Taoist temple. They could leave after eating and drinking at the entrance.
This was also what many Daoist temples did. Perfected Letian did the same as well. It was so that he would not be tainted by the karma of the mortal world and not come into contact with outsiders.
How could such a person possibly host a banquet?
Just as Fangzheng was feeling curious, he heard footsteps and the sound of something being moved.
After Lone Wolf and Fangzheng exchanged looks, they immediately went to the window and looked out. They happened to see Wanderer Tranquil carry a long table and place it in the yard. She then untied a piece of red cloth from her left arm. This red cloth was originally folded and tied to her arm. Now that she took it off and unfolded it, Fangzheng estimated that the cloth was about a meter and a half long and eighty centimeters wide. The red edge and about ten centimeters of black edge were very conspicuous.
What was even stranger was that Wanderer Tranquil didn't completely open it. Instead, she opened it halfway and draped it over the table.
Upon seeing this, Lone Wolf could not help but sweep Fangzheng's thigh with his tail and ask, "Master, isn't she too stingy? I can't even bear to unwrap the entire red cloth. I only used half of it. "
Fangzheng slapped him to silence him before whispering, "What do you know? This was a Daoist rule! This was equivalent to the precepts of Buddhism. Unlocking all the rules represented supreme reverence. Opening it halfway represents the reverence of the Exalted Immortal. "
When Lone Wolf heard that, he lowered his voice and exclaimed, "Could it be that there are immortals in this Daoist temple?"
Lone Wolf wasn't making a fuss. From his point of view, if Fangzheng could rear a demon as a child, it was understandable that there were immortals elsewhere.
However, Fangzheng didn't think so. He had long confirmed from Red Boy and the System that there were no demons or ghosts in this world. As for the reason why Wanderer Tranquil did so …
Fangzheng silently took out his cell phone and checked the date on the lunar calendar. Upon seeing it, Fangzheng was enlightened. "I see. I never expected today to be the Lower Prime Festival."
"Lower Prime Festival?" Lone Wolf's eyes immediately lit up. He had experienced the Upper Ghost Festival and the Middle Ghost Festival before. Now that he had finally encountered the Lower Ghost Festival, his first impression was that there would definitely be food during the festival.
Fangzheng knew his disciples too well. All that was left on his mind was food. However, he patiently explained, "The Upper, Middle, and Lower Prime Festivals are all known as Ghost Festivals in China. However, the Lower Prime Festival is slightly different from the other two festivals. It's pure and indigenous. It's a festival inspired by Daoism.
Daoism has three officials — Heavenly Official, Earthly Official, and Water Official. It's said that the Heavenly Official bestows blessings, the Earthly Official pardons sins, and the Water Official resolves misfortune. The Lower Prime Festival is the day when the Water Official resolves misfortune and Empyrean Lord Yanggu's misfortune. It's commonly known as the Day of the Water Official's investigation and report to the Heavenly Court to resolve misfortune. "On this day, the Daoist temple would become a Bodhimanda, and the people would offer sacrifices to the dead and pray to the Lower Prime Water Official to resolve misfortune. In ancient times, the imperial court prohibited massacres and delayed the execution of the death penalty.
However, today, the number of people celebrating the Lower Prime Festival has dwindled. This ancient culture is also rapidly dying out. Even One Finger Monastery rarely celebrates this festival. I never expected to see it here. "
Lone Wolf didn't fully understand. After all, he had never come into contact with Daoism, so he couldn't understand what the Heavenly Official bestows blessings meant. He kept staring at Wanderer Tranquil in the yard …
At this moment, Wanderer Tranquil took out another piece of cloth and walked out of the yard. She hung it on a flagpole by the door! Lone Wolf looked up and saw the words: "The country is prosperous and the people are at peace!"
Lone Wolf subconsciously looked at Fangzheng. Fangzheng said, "This is a method often used by Daoists in ancient times. It's also a way to pray for blessings during the Lower Prime Festival. The words on the flag aren't static, but under normal circumstances, it's usually 'Heaven, Earth, Water Palace,' 'Favorable weather,' 'The country is prosperous and the people are at peace,' etc. This is for the Water Official who descends from the heavens to see. However, this custom has basically vanished to this day. I never expected Wanderer Tranquil to still use it. Furthermore, she hung it with 'The country is prosperous and the people are at peace,' and 'The country is prosperous and the people are at peace.' Wanderer Tranquil's heart sure isn't ordinary. "
Lone Wolf chuckled when he heard that. "I don't know if her heart is big or not, but her chest is really big. If she were to give birth, she definitely wouldn't starve to death. It wouldn't be a problem for her to rear eight to ten. "
Fangzheng blushed when he heard that. He raised his hand and slapped him. This slap was a little too ruthless as Lone Wolf flew out with a howl. He slammed into the wall and slowly slid down.
After landing on the ground, Lone Wolf said with an aggrieved look, "Master, why did you hit me?"
Fangzheng snorted coldly. "Stay away from Jingxin in the future. He doesn't learn the good stuff, but he does learn quite a bit of hooliganism."
"Master, that wasn't what Jingxin said," Lone Wolf said.
Fangzheng was taken aback. Apart from Jingxin, who would study such nonsense every day?
Lone Wolf continued. "It was Salted Fish who said it. He has been learning how to use a cell phone from Jingxin recently. I wonder what he's looking at on the Internet every day. " With that said, Lone Wolf sneakily came over and whispered. "Master, I suspect that Salted Fish has become addicted to gambling!"
"What?" Fangzheng jumped in fright when he heard that. He wasn't worried that Salted Fish would be scammed, but he was afraid that the fellow would learn bad things and scam others!
Fangzheng tried his best to calm down and asked, "How did you know?"
Lone Wolf whispered. "That day, when I went out for a stroll, I saw Salted Fish fiddling with his cell phone. At the same time, I heard something like 'Macau's first online casino is online.' The moment he saw me, he immediately put away his cell phone. Seeing how sneaky and sneaky he was, there's definitely something wrong. "
Fangzheng said with a heavy expression, "Does anyone else know about this?"
