After a gong sounded, the exorcism ceremony officially began. A group of people in the front jumped around randomly, beating small gongs and drums they brought with them, doing it as boldly as they could.
But you can't run too fast. After all, the street is not long. If you run across it in a few seconds, there will be nothing to see. It's not a real ghost exorcism, so the faster the better.
If you have lots of energy, just run and jump back and forth, anyway, just do your best.
You know what, when hundreds of people moved together, some running, some jumping, some twisting, and with the random beating of the small gongs and drums in their hands, and the reflection of the fire, it really felt like a group of demons dancing wildly.
Since the demons and monsters were on the way, the exorcist boy naturally started to move as well.
A hundred or so strong men in red shirts and black pants, wearing boy masks, turned over in unison, their feet hitting the ground at the same time with a loud noise, and they shouted at the same time: "Ah Zha~"
The terrifying atmosphere that had just gathered was immediately suppressed, and people's expressions were no longer panic-stricken. Instead, they became enthusiastic and clapped and cheered.
Therefore, the most interesting part is the intersection between the exorcist boy and the demons and monsters. Those who have no experience like Ying Niang can only jump in front, but they can also attract the attention of some little kids and cause some exclamations.

"Either your little kid sincerely admits his mistake, or we have a private fight between our two families on the fourth day of the New Year."
A man in his thirties came out, looked at Wang Zheng and asked, "Young man from the Wang family, what can I do for you?"
On the way back, Wang Wu asked Wang Zheng how he lit the firewood pile. Wang Zheng said it was none of his business, and that the person guarding the firewood pile must have lit it himself when he saw that the time was almost right.
"They are all acquaintances from the village. What else do you want?"
The man nodded, brought out the three kids, kicked each of them on the buttocks, and shouted, "Kowtow and admit your mistakes."
There were more than twenty bonfires on both sides of the more than 100-meter-long street. It took about five minutes to run through the fire. The monsters and demons had to run out of the fire, take off their masks and then come back.
On the way, Wang Wu cursed and said, "Are you just going to let it go like this?"
As for when it is midnight, people in other places can just estimate it themselves, while people around Chang'an City can listen to the bells inside to determine the time.
When the exorcist boy turns around, moves and retreats, experienced demons and monsters will pounce towards him. When the exorcist boy steps and moves forward, the demons and monsters will jump and retreat as if they are frightened.
After the show, Yingniang ran to Wang Zheng with the red-haired mask in her hand and asked excitedly, "How was my performance? Was it good?"
After the three kids admitted their mistakes, Wang Zheng bowed to the man and said, "The matter is over. Goodbye."
Wang Wu was full of disbelief. He was always keeping an eye on the daylight. It was still some time before dark, and according to the rules it was impossible to pile the firewood so early.
But it’s no problem for ordinary people to perform as monsters and ghosts. Even if they can’t afford the clothes and props, they can still lend them to others for their own enjoyment.
After a few minutes, it started again. After a few rounds of this, everyone got a little bored and the show was completely over.
Wang Zheng narrowed his eyes, "You have heard these things, so just ignore them in the future. You can come back and tell your family. It is our business whether we should care about it or not."
The middle-aged man turned back for a while, and when he came out again, he looked guilty, "What do you want to say?"
Wang Wu said, "He was always looking at the performance in the middle and didn't even look at the front."
"Wait a minute."
"Your little kid just insulted my father. I'm here to ask for an explanation."
That was actually the black gunpowder that Wang Zheng had obtained for self-defense. Although he had never used it, Wang Zheng still carried it with him from time to time, just like the high-temperature porcelain bulletproof vest on his body.
"Then let's go find their parents and have some fun."
Wang Zheng immediately said, "You almost got into a fight with them in front. If Yingniang hadn't pulled you away, you would have definitely suffered. There were three of them. Didn't you take the situation into consideration?"
The exorcist boy will rest on the spot and can eat and drink something, which is bought with collective money. The demons and ghosts can only eat themselves.
After returning home, the family members gather around the fire and chat. They have to stay up all night on New Year's Eve, and can only go to bed after bowing to their elders at midnight.
Wang Zheng immediately took Yingniang and Wang Wu to the door of that family's house and shouted to the house, "Come out and talk to the people inside."
The performance officially begins, and there are experienced ones among the demons and ghosts who can cooperate with the exorcist boy in the performance.
If villagers have an irreconcilable dispute and are at a stalemate, they can apply to the government and the village elders for a private fight, and killing people will not be against the law.
Wang Zheng sighed and said, "That's it. Except on the battlefield, no matter when, never kill people at will. After all, when people die, there is nothing left. He just said something he didn't think of at the moment.
Yingniang explained, "Those guys were saying weird things, using Second Uncle's body to ridicule us."
"I don't know now, but I wanted to kill them then."
"But I'm not happy, what should I do?"
Suddenly you are wearing nice clothes, and your life has changed in every aspect. Your former relatives, friends, neighbors, etc. will naturally be jealous. Can't you let others say a few weird things? Of course, there must be a limit to saying weird things. Such things that insult our ancestors and elders are definitely not allowed. After all, if we don't react to these words, we can't even think about raising our heads in the future. "
"You have the courage."
It's a very interesting performance. The key is that everyone can participate in it. The three identities of audience, demons and ghosts, and exorcist boy can be switched back and forth. However, the performance of the exorcist boy is more difficult and has certain requirements for the identity.
Wang Zheng nodded and smiled, "It looks very nice."
When the bells in Chang'an City rang, it was midnight.
First, Wang Yu brought his entire family to kowtow to the old man and his wife, saying all kinds of auspicious words. Then Wang Zhong brought his brothers, sisters, and wife to kowtow to Wang Yu and the other two, also saying all kinds of auspicious words.
Wang Zheng no longer cared about kowtow, but Yingniang was happy about it because she could get copper coins. This little girl was very persistent about money and didn't care about the amount, as long as she had some.
After bowing, each person drinks a glass of Chinese medicinal wine and then can go to bed.
Wang Zheng’s Chinese herbal wine is made with some Sichuan peppercorns, which makes it numbing to drink. Well, it has the effect of expelling insects and removing dampness, but the taste is a little hard to accept.
