Chapter 63 The Festival of Fire

The crying woke up the Qiang people who were in their sweet dreams. Suddenly, the originally dark tribe became brightly lit, and countless figures flew towards Hai Long's location.

The golden light flashed away, and Hai Long used the power of God to disperse his tears. Looking at the figure approaching quickly, he said to himself, "Now is not the time to deal with you, just wait." The figure disappeared out of thin air.

.When the Qiang masters found nothing on the mountain, they found that everything had calmed down late at night.

In the morning, Hongzhi opened his eyes. The night's practice had made him refreshed and full of breath. He looked to his side and Ji Ling woke up just in time. The two looked at each other but neither of them said a word because they found that Hai Long was still in a state of trance.

Hongzhi was surprised to find that Hai Long's face in the state of cultivation was extremely cold and his whole body was exuding a faint golden flame. His temperament seemed to be shrouded in a layer of frost. Feeling the changes in Hai Long, he couldn't help but frown slightly and said to Ji Ling, "Hai Long seems to be

It seems to be different. Normally, the magic power emanating from him gives people a very mellow feeling. Why is it full of killing energy today? Smart, do you know what's going on? Hai Long practices the skills passed down by your ancestors. You should

Let’s learn more about it.” Ji Ling shook his head and said, “I don’t know that Hai Long is practicing the public method of his unknown master. Even my ancestors haven’t practiced it, so I don’t know.”

Hongzhi patted himself and said, "I'm hungry. Let's go. Let's go out and see if anyone brings food. We'll wait for Hai Long to wake up and ask him."

Being smart, he opened the concierge and walked out. As soon as they left Hai Long opened his eyes. His eyes were a little blurry as he looked at the door with a cold light flashing in his eyes. He pulled up his sleeves and looked at the clothes on his right arm.

It turned into a deep purple dragon shape and said lightly, "Old Hong, thank you for your comfort. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Although the Qiang people don't pay much attention to the southern Xinjiang people like the Xi people, they still care about the food. The food is just rough. The people of the Xi people eat about the same on weekdays. For them, as long as they can eat enough, it's not too big.

More means more. But Hongzhi and Ji Ling are different. They are used to eating delicious food and eating these things that are almost like chaff. How can they swallow it? Yesterday's meal was better than today's, so they made do with it. But today, look at it

It's hard to swallow these steamed buns that look like lumps of iron.

Hongzhi said, "I can't bear it anymore. Let's go back to find big brother. He has a lot of food there, which is much better than these."

Ji Lingtou said, "Go back and wait for Hai Long to wake up. I would rather be hungry for a while than eat these things." As the two of them were about to walk back, the doors of Piaomiao and Zhisui's rooms opened and the two women left at the same time.

Come out. Piaomiao looks very haggard today. Her pretty face has lost its luster. Her big eyes, which were originally full of energy, are dim and dull. Shisui also looks like he is worried.

Hongzhi smiled and came up to him and said, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you guys? You're in a bad mood today. The food is really bad. The food is really bad today. I'm sorry for you!"

You are allowed to lie, you are fined, you are fine, you are in trouble, you are in trouble, you are in trouble, you are in love, you are making an appointment to drink an umbrella, and you are buying a fake umbrella!?

Hongzhi was stunned and said, "Brother, he's okay! What can he do? It's just that I feel that his magic power seems to have changed somewhat today. He seems to have hidden murderous intentions, but you don't have to worry about cleaning. I guess he did it because he thought of something that could be used in the house."

This is the way to cause trouble here."

Her ethereal body trembled slightly, but she just stood at the door of her room, looking at the distant sky. The calm on the surface and the sadness in her heart were in sharp contrast. Her heart ached so much. She didn't sleep all night after she came back last night.

She just sat on the bed blankly while sleeping. Shisui woke up in the morning and noticed the changes in her and hurriedly asked about her. When she learned that Hai Long and Piao Miao had fallen out, she couldn't help but be shocked. She thought that Hai Long and Piao Miao's deep relationship was by no means so easy to break.

But she never expected that this incident would lead to such serious consequences.

Hongzhi saw that Piaomiao and Zhishui seemed reluctant to talk to them, and he didn't want to embarrass themselves anymore, so he took Ji Ling back to his room.

Zhi Shui sent a message to Piao Miao, "Senior sister, don't be sad. How about I accompany you to find Hai Long. I think if you say a few soft words, you can get back on good terms with him."

A wry smile appeared on Piaomiao's face and she shook her head and said, "Hai Long did a great job yesterday without even leaving a way out. Our views are completely different. I think he is very wrong, but he never admits that he is wrong. I

I simply cannot convince myself to agree with his views. He will not change himself. Even if I go to him, it will be of no use."

Zhisui lowered his head and said, "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have told you this at all. If you didn't know, this wouldn't have happened."

Piaomiao sighed softly, "How can I blame you for this? You are the victim! But junior sister, I'm afraid there is no way for Hai Long to apologize to you, and I can't force him to do anything now."

Zhisui shook his head and said, "Forget it, I didn't hate him at all. Now I just hope that the relationship between you will not be affected because of me."

Hong Zhi and Ji Ling were startled when they opened the door. Because Hai Long was standing at the concierge, they opened the door and bumped into him. Hong Zhi said, "Boss, what are you doing?"

Hai Long smiled slightly and said, "If you want to eat food from the Central Plains, I have taken it out for you from the Qiankun Ring. Go and eat it by yourself on the bed." Hongzhi and Ji Ling cheered at the same time. They both rushed towards the bed at the same time. Hai Long's ears twitched slightly.

After moving for a moment, a glint flashed in his eyes and he whispered, "There are outsiders here, you eat first while I go out and take a look." Before they could answer, they had already opened the door and walked out. Hongzhi and Ji Ling were enjoying their meal.

They didn't care about anything else. This was the first delicious meal they had after entering southern Xinjiang!

Hai Long came out of the room and saw Piao Miao and Zhisui.

He had nothing but wanted to see the Qiang tribe. Yesterday, the tall young man came over with two warriors. He walked directly to Ribang and said, "The sight of the head of the Xi tribe in the sky is the fire festival of our Qiang tribe. There will be a grand ceremony after dark at night."

The bonfire party. The clan leaders of all tribes have almost arrived. You can also take your own tribe to participate in the evening. Today's bonfire party is a bride-gathering party. If your tribe is interested in men under the age of thirty and men under the age of twenty-five,

All unmarried women can participate, but if you women from the Xi tribe participate, you can only be at the front of the queue. Do you understand? Someone will come to invite you to the clan chief meeting tomorrow morning."

The Japanese leader said, "Thank you for coming to tell us that we will definitely participate in the evening."

The tall young man nodded, glanced in the direction of Piao Miao and Zhisui, and turned away with his men.

Their conversation clearly reached Hai Long's ears. Hai Long clenched his fists and murmured, "A bonfire party? It seems like this is an opportunity." He strode to the side of the daily list and asked, "The clan leader's marriage robbery just now is going on."

What does it mean? What does Fire Festival mean?"

Ribang had just finished breakfast and glanced at Hailong and said, "Actually, this has nothing to do with us Xi people. We are just here to watch the ceremony. The Qiang people are a people who believe in fire. The Fire Festival is their traditional festival and one of the biggest celebrations every year."

1. At that time, bonfires will be raised to slaughter livestock and a grand banquet will be held. As for the bride-grabbing meeting, it means that after the flame worship ceremony is held at today’s Fire Eye Festival party, the bride-grabbing meeting will begin. Judging from the scale of the Qiang tribe, the largest tribe, the bride-grabbing meeting will be held.

Each group will be divided into ten girls to be married. They will stand in the field. Any man who is interested in them will have the right to woo them. The method to get them is also very simple, as long as you can defeat this girl's other suitors.

If you are a warrior, then the girl will agree to marry you. It sounds funny to me. The Fire Festival of the Qiang people is also the day when most girls in their tribe lose their virginity. Often at night, right after the bride-gathering party, couples of men and women can’t wait to find a place to have fun.

"Hai Long snorted and said, "What a barbaric nation. According to what you said, today's Fire Festival should be very lively. If all the ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang gather here to grab the bride, it will definitely cause a lot of fights." Ribang said.

"Today's bride snatching meeting is probably a grand event to prove the strength of each clan. Which clan snatches more beauties in the end proves their strength and will have more say in tomorrow's clan chief meeting. You may think this is ridiculous, but this

This is the style of southern Xinjiang."

There was a sneer on Hai Long's lips and he said, "This style is very good! By the way, the patriarch, is it possible for the great gods Moha and Soto to participate in the flame festival tonight?"

Ribang shook his head and said, "They probably won't participate. They have almost a godly status in our southern Xinjiang. Ordinary tribesmen cannot see them easily. Maybe they will show up at the tribe chief meeting tomorrow. Hey tonight."

I am afraid that the bride-grabbing meeting will become a situation where the Qiang, Miao and Tanla people are fighting again."

Hai Long shook his head and smiled mysteriously and said, "No, it won't happen. Tonight the Xi clan will be the only one to show off. The clan leader's wedding-stealing convention doesn't stipulate how many wives a man can steal, right? |"

The daily list said, "That's not true, but generally in order to grab a beautiful woman, you will often beat her to a bloody head. Even if you win, it will be difficult to have the strength to fight again. If a warrior who has already snatched a woman tries to snatch another girl, he will lose.

Then the beauty he snatched previously will also belong to the winner of the latter, so few people will take the risk. What? Do you want to...?"

Hai Long looked up at the sky and said calmly, "You will know when the time comes. I want the Qiang and Miao Tanla tribes to know that the Xi tribe is not without people. By the way, you must practice the exercises I teach you every day. This will strengthen you."

This is the only way for the Xi tribe. From now on, only those tribesmen who you can completely trust can teach this set of exercises. Do you understand?" Ribang bowed his head respectfully and said, "Senior, don't worry, I know what to do."

Hai Long sighed and floated up and turned back to his room. He had just left Piaomiao and pulled Zhishui to Ribang's side. Piaomiao's eyes were a little brighter and she said to Ribang, "Chief, I want to represent the Xi clan tonight."

See this flame meeting."

Ribang was startled and said in surprise, "But haven't you already..."

Piaomiao stopped him from going further and said, "Don't worry about anything else, just do as I say. Don't tell anyone about this, including Hai Long, do you understand?"

Ripang smiled bitterly and looked at Hai Long's room and agreed.

In the evening, the sky has just darkened. Behind the Qiang Sacred Mountain, the Qiang people have gathered together and started singing and dancing. The Qiang people are known as the largest tribe. At least close to 200,000 people participated in today's fire event. In the center of the open space, there is a huge fire festival with a diameter of 20 meters and a height of more than 10 meters.

The tall pile of firewood is obviously the main bonfire at night.

Directly north of the main bonfire are the representatives of various ethnic groups who have come to participate in the Southern Xinjiang Chiefs' Meeting. There are nearly ten thousand leaders of each ethnic group and their personal soldiers. The major tribes naturally occupy the best positions. The Xi tribe only has the best position.

The twenty or so people who came to attend the patriarchal meeting were naturally squeezed into the far corner.

Hongzhi and Ji Ling were extremely excited as soon as they arrived here. What attracted them were the whole cattle, whole sheep, whole pigs and even many wild beasts that they couldn't name on the wooden racks in the venue. The strong Qiang men were using

The long-haired brush was dipped in seasonings and applied to the animals, and then the wooden frame was turned and roasted by the fire, making a popping sound. The faint smell of barbecue made people's index fingers tickle. Hongzhi was so smart that he even swallowed his saliva.

Reflection of food.

Ribang sighed softly and said, "A rich clan is a rich clan! We, the Xi clan, can't hold a banquet like this no matter what. The food alone is enough for us to save for decades." Hai Long said calmly, why should the clan leader be impatient?

As long as you are determined to lead the tribe to grow stronger, you will succeed one day. What I can tell you is that as long as you work hard, you will gain as much as you want. You must make corresponding efforts to make the Xi tribe develop."

Wei Zhen shook his head vigorously and said, "Senior, thank you. I understand."

Hai Long glanced around the crowd in his room. He was surprised to find that neither Piaomiao nor Zhishui were in the center of the crowd.

The sky is getting darker and each fire is getting brighter and brighter. The aroma of barbecue is getting stronger. Thousands of Qiang women are constantly bringing various kinds of food to the flame festival venue. Due to the large number of people, there are not enough tables and chairs. Only

Only those high-ranking officials and foreign clan leaders had tables and chairs to enjoy. Ordinary people could only sit on the floor. Fortunately, there was enough food to feed the more than 200,000 people present.

Hongzhi sat on the ground and asked the daily list impatiently, "My clan leader, when can we start eating! I can't help it." The people of the Xi clan, who also had no tables and chairs, were grilling a piece of cake not far away in front of more than 20 of them.

A fat deer and a whole sheep are not much for more than twenty people, but together with other things, it is barely enough. What Hongzhi and Ji Ling are interested in are the meat and the full jar of wine.

His eyes are already straight.

Piaomiao and Zhisui were not far from the venue at this time, together with hundreds of girls of all races. The girls were all putting on makeup, and their voices kept ringing. Piaomiao said, "Junior sister, why do you have to attend with me? I don't know.

I want to test it out to see if Hai Long still has me in his heart." Shisui smiled slightly and said, "I just think it's fun. Senior sister, don't worry, even if someone grabs me in the end, I'm afraid he won't be able to be my husband." "Oh, not necessarily."

"A clear voice sounded. Piaomiao and Zhisui looked in shock and saw a young man appearing where they were. The two of them were shocked. With their cultivation level, they did not even notice when the young man arrived. The young man was wearing a

Due to the numerous ethnic groups in Southern Xinjiang, the clothing of each ethnic group is different. They could not identify which ethnic group this person belonged to. But what is certain is that this person is not only a cultivator, but also has a very high level of cultivation and is definitely not lower than them. This young man

He was handsome, tall and tall. Looking at him, Piaomiao and Shisui felt like they had seen him before, but they couldn't remember where they had seen him before.

The young man strode up to Piaomiao and Zhishui and smiled slightly and said, "Sisters, please invite me. Judging from your clothes, they should belong to the Xi tribe. I didn't expect that there are such beautiful beauties in the Xi tribe. I want to order them."

You guys. If you are willing to be my seventy-one and seventy-two concubines, you don’t have to participate in today’s wedding party. "Piao Miao and Zhi Shui both used the invisibility technique at this time, so they don’t have to worry about being noticed by the other party. Piao Miao frowned.

"Who are you? Why is it impossible for us to be concubines?" the young man said proudly, "There are thousands of girls who want to marry me in southern Xinjiang, so why don't you seize the opportunity?" Zhi Shui Leng said

He snorted and said, "What kind of thing are you? You're talking nonsense here. If you have the ability, I'll meet you at the wedding party." The young man didn't get angry because of her rude words and said with a smile, "It's really delicious. I like it."

You are such a fierce woman. Well, I will meet you at the wedding ceremony. I will arrange for you to leave the factory last. At that time, I will snatch you to be my bride in front of all the ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang. "Piao Miao said on her face

He said calmly with a cold expression, "Aren't you afraid that the wind will flash your tongue? Leave here as soon as possible. No matter what your status is, you are not worthy of being with us." The young man was slightly stunned and said, "When did the Xi tribe become so rude?"

"Yeah, but I have always been very patient with beautiful women. Not only do you have good looks and temperament, but your tempers are also very similar to mine. I'm going to settle on you and let's see." Wan said with laughter.

Go. Piaomiao and Zhisui were surprised to find that they didn't even see how the young man left.

Piaomiao frowned and said, "Junior sister, who is this? His cultivation level seems to be higher than mine. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Hai Long to defeat him." Zhishui thought for a while and said, "You don't know me if you don't know me. I feel like this person's

It seems that his cultivation level is not inferior to that of the great God Sotuo we have seen before. Could it be that he is the Earth Demon of the Qiang tribe?" Piaomiao nodded and said, "It's very possible. We can only take one step at a time now. Although he is very strong.

But we sisters can at least remain undefeated by joining forces. Be careful not to eat anything here casually. Dragon, are you really going to come and rob me? If so, maybe we will still have a fate."

At this time, surrounded by a group of people, a brightly dressed old Qiang man walked towards the main bonfire, surrounded by hundreds of Qiang warriors. Hundreds of warriors lined up in front of the bonfire and raised their short knives at the same time. For a moment, all the Qiang people were silent at the same time.

When they came down, they looked at the old man with admiration.

The old man coughed dryly and said, "Compatriots of the Qiang ethnic group, today is our annual Fire Festival. First, let us worship the holy fire that brings us light with the most respectful ceremony." His voice didn't sound very good at all.

The loud but clear sound reached the ears of everyone present. Among the people of the Xi tribe, Hai Long heard that this man's cultivation level was close to the level of Xia Ju. Before the old man made a move, the huge bonfire behind him suddenly lit up.

The red flame suddenly lit up the entire sky and the entire venue lit up. All the Qiang people seemed extremely excited, kneeling on the ground one by one and praying continuously. Even the various people who came to attend the clan chiefs meeting this time.

The clan leader also led his men to bow to the bonfire. The old man kowtowed three times to the bonfire respectfully, then slowly stood up with a look of reverence on his face. For a full minute, the entire sky was filled with

Not one of the people kneeling on the ground made a sound.

"The ceremony is done." Under the old man's command, the Qiang people slowly stood up and their eyes mostly showed fanaticism, looking extremely excited.

The old man said, "As an elder of the Qiang people, on behalf of the respected God Moha, I welcome the leaders of all ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang to attend our Fire Festival. The leaders of all ethnic groups don't have to be polite and just enjoy our delicious food." He thought to the north of the bonfire.

The group leaders of each ethnic group bowed and saluted. The group leaders of each ethnic group returned the salute one after another. The old man raised his hands and shouted, "The Fire Festival carnival begins now. The bride-snatching contest will be held in an hour. Guys from southern Xinjiang, you must eat and drink first, and then we will show off."

It's your time to be brave." The voice rose high into the sky, and the atmosphere of the entire Fire Festival suddenly boiled. Everyone started to move. They shouted and rushed towards the food in front of them. When Hongzhi and Ji Ling saw the people around them, they all moved and stood up quickly.

They rushed straight to the food in front of the Xi tribe. The aroma of the roasted whole lamb kept coming. They couldn't bear it anymore. Just when the two were about to succeed, a tall figure suddenly rushed out of the thorn to block them.

In front of him, Hongzhi was startled and looked up. There was a Juren standing in front of him. He was about two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a broad back. His face was covered with flesh and looked extremely fierce. He stretched out his big hands like cattail leaf fans and said viciously, "Get away."

This food is ours."

Hongzhi said angrily, "How could it be yours? It's obviously something belonging to our Xi tribe." At this time, everyone from the Xi tribe had gathered around, and dozens of warriors with tall figures and shouts came around the strong man.

The strong man earlier said with disdain, "Do you think you, the Xi tribe, deserve to eat such good food? I want Taru to be the most powerful warrior of the Tadi tribe, and I now declare that the food of your Xi tribe belongs to us."

He obviously knew this Taru. He said angrily, "Taru, please don't go too far. Your Treaders have bullied our tribe more than once. Are we really that easy to bully?"

Tarrou said arrogantly, "Yes, you are easy to bully. Look at who from a weak race like you can eat food at the Fire Festival." Indeed, he was right. Not only the food of the Tadi tribe, but also the food of the Xi tribe.

The powerful races have also looted and ate up the food of other races. Although those races are very sad and angry, they are weak after all. In order to avoid the death and injury of their own race, they can only endure it. Some races that really cannot bear it have quietly retreated.

.

Ribang looked at Hai Long who was following him for help. He didn't know what to do. The Tadi tribe is a powerful race in southern Xinjiang. Although there are not many people who admit defeat, their tribesmen are abnormal.

In contrast, he really didn't dare to offend. Tarrou didn't dare to say a word when he saw the sun list. He became even more arrogant and called his companions, "Brothers, don't be polite to bring food." In response, all the big men immediately came up and prepared to carry things. "Wait a minute.

"A moment." A cold voice sounded, and Hai Long strode forward and stood in front of Taru.

Taru looked at Hai Long, who was a full head shorter than him, and said disdainfully, "What? Do you dare to stop this warrior?"

Hai Long said coldly, "Get out of here, I'm in a bad mood today. Don't bother me."

Tarrou was so angry that he grabbed Hai Long's front and yelled, "Do you know who you are talking to?"

Hai Long looked at him coldly, with a cold light in his eyes. Taru felt his whole body go cold, and a huge energy from Dancer Hell rushed into his chest. His huge body flew up and immediately bumped into several of his own tribe. Ji Ling could not bear it anymore.

With a sharp roar, he rubbed himself up without using any magic power and relied on his own powerful strength. With a dense ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong pattern) all the big men from the Tadi tribe were knocked out and fell far away. Cleverly, he pulled off a large leg of lamb.

He took a bite and said, "I will fight anyone who dares to steal my food."

Taru just felt like his whole body was splitting. He managed to get up and looked at Hailong in surprise. Hailong snorted coldly and the tribesmen lying on the ground around him. Taru took a few steps forward and walked in front of Hailong. He gave a thumbs up and said, "You are a warrior."

.No one has ever knocked me down, Tarrou. I admire you. Can you tell me your name?"

Hai Long was stunned for a moment and said, "My name is Hai Long. If you are dissatisfied, you can come to me at any time."

Talu shook his head heavily and turned around to greet his group members who had just climbed up from the bottom of the earth and left. The Xi tribe was placed in a remote corner. The changes here did not attract too many people's attention. He drove away the Tadi tribe.

All the warriors from the Xi tribe immediately cheered and started eating wine and food under the leadership of Hong Zhi and Ji Ling.

Hai Long looked at the back of Taluli District and murmured, "This guy is so cute and honest that he doesn't mess around in anything."

Hongzhi handed a deer leg to Hai Long and said, "Brother, you can eat it too. This meat tastes really good."

Hai Long glanced at him and said, "No need, just eat it yourself. If something happens later, do you and the people who are smart enough to protect the Xi tribe understand?"

Hongzhi said, "Don't worry, I'm here." An hour passed quickly in the excitement of eating and drinking. The old Qiang man who spoke earlier ordered hundreds of Qiang warriors to drive their people away from the campfire and create a circle around the campfire.

A very large place. The old man said loudly, "Hello warriors of Southern Xinjiang. It will be time to celebrate today. All young people under the age of thirty can participate in the bride-snatching contest. Come on, please join our first round today."

Ten beauties." A passage flashed out to the west. Under the guard of Qiang warriors, ten girls walked towards the bonfire. The ten girls were all dressed in Qiang costumes, with extremely fiery arms and graceful thighs. The flesh was exposed and they were all scratching their hands.

The appearance of the ten girls immediately brought the Qiang people to another level of excitement. Some young people who could not hold back jumped out of the crowd one after another. There was no need to deliberately command everyone. Everyone was familiar with the various customs of their own tribe and became ten girls.

As soon as they stood around the bonfire, they immediately rushed towards the beauty in their eyes. According to the custom of the Qiang people, as long as the water can defeat all opponents during the wedding ceremony, he will be the final winner while holding the girl's hand.

Weapons are not allowed.

A hundred young people rushed into the venue. They started fighting like crazy under the influence of alcohol. Even friends of the same race would never show mercy at this time. The scene was already a bit chaotic for a while. There was a whole group of people.

The Qiang warriors entered the area and blocked the tribesmen who did not participate in the marriage robbery. Once someone in the area couldn't afford it, they would be immediately carried out.
