There is a clear difference between this place and big cities like Beijing and Haizhou.
The air is fresh, the light blue sky is cloudless, there are no high-rise buildings and no busy traffic. Most of them are single-family houses. In the evening, they stayed in the best hotel in Guyue County. The hotel is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and they can see it from the terrace.
The mountains are beautiful in the distance, and the winding river is like a white ribbon that winds around the village at the foot of the mountain. In the village, there are farmland, green trees, and a five-hole stone bridge spanning the river, like a rainbow.
It was already evening when he checked into the hotel. Qin Luo went back to the room to tidy up, and personally took Xiaotuanzi's hand downstairs for dinner.
Yang Xiu stayed close to protect Qin Luo, while Yang He went out to inquire about the situation.
Yun Qi's two little hands held the local glutinous rice snack. The glutinous rice was sweet, soft and delicious, but sticky to the teeth.
The five-year-old Xiaotuanzi chewed the dumplings with big mouthfuls, but also had to be careful of the unsightly glutinous rice sticking to his teeth. His cheeks bulged, and he looked like he was eating very seriously and very hard.
Qin Luo sat upright on the sofa chair opposite, his eyes were clear and clear, and his eyes seemed to be splashed with a layer of thick ink. His beautiful pupils were smudged, and his whole body was handsome and elegant. He silently held a glass of water and watched the little dumpling eating opposite him with a smile.
This pleasant scene reminded him of the little squirrel he would open the window and wait outside looking for food every morning.
When I feed it peanuts, its cheeks bulge and its big eyes round.
Yun Qi finally finished eating a piece and sighed hard.
As soon as the man finished speaking, the crowd burst into fierce applause.
Countless red silk threads crisscrossed the altar, and it was covered with shining golden talismans and cloth banners.
"Yeah!" Yun Qi nodded heavily and stretched out her little finger.
It’s really not easy to eat something delicious.
The sacrificial activities for Celestial Master Huang Mingzhuo have ended, and the procession to worship the gods will begin next.
Qin Luo nodded, leaning forward slightly, his dark eyes as dark as devils were shining brightly, and his voice was refreshing and sweet, "Then we have agreed that no one can laugh at the other when the teeth are replaced."
Yun Qi shook her head, her big eyes sparkling with water, and she looked particularly endearing. "You can't eat it. Grandpa said it's time for Xiao Qi to have her teeth replaced. She can't eat anything that is too sticky to her teeth."
As soon as Yun Qi finished speaking, a local man standing behind him couldn't listen anymore.
Yun Qi stood on tiptoes and stretched her neck hard to look at the Taoist priest on the altar, "Strange."
Seeing that his younger brother had done this, Yang He turned his head and looked at Qin Luo aside, "Master, how about..."
Yun Qi and Qin Luo had just finished packing when they heard the loud sound of gongs, drums and firecrackers coming from outside the hotel, so they followed the sound and walked towards the largest temple in the area.
Yun Qi looked full of expectation, "Of course I want to go."
"What is your local god?" Yang He asked.
Qin Luo nodded and looked at Yun Qi.
***
The so-called God Sacrifice Parade was derived from the ancient Nuo culture and has a great influence among the people.
"Oh, then after a while, won't she turn into a leaky front-toothed girl?" Qin Luo teased with a chuckle.
Qin Luo picked up another piece and handed it over.
Yun Qi stood on tiptoes to look, but could only see a crowd of people vying for the first place.
"Why are you talking nonsense, little girl? Are you from out of town? This is the most famous Celestial Master Huang Mingzhuo in our local area. He can offer sacrifices to gods, pray for blessings, subjugate demons and subjugate demons. You can't talk nonsense. Offending Master Huang is equivalent to offending the local gods.
.”
Unexpectedly, it was this cute and pink little dumpling in front of me with a red mole between his eyebrows.
"Lei Shougong and Lei Gongjiang, in our Guyue County, believe this is the most effective."
"Okay, my brother will have his teeth replaced in a while, so we're even."
As he spoke, he lifted Yun Qi onto his shoulders.
"Brother, to be able to host such a grand event, a Taoist priest must be no ordinary Taoist priest, right?" Xiao Nai's voice was particularly clear. The light in front of the temple fell into the phoenix eyes, and her beautiful and delicate eyebrows were frowned tightly, as if
A crescent moon hanging on the treetops.
"However, I didn't feel any spiritual energy from him. Even a young Taoist priest who has just entered the Taoist sect will have a fresh spiritual energy after practicing for two or three years. The higher the cultivation level, the thicker the spiritual energy. But there is nothing about him.
There is no spiritual energy at all. How strange!”
"No, I don't have to." The cold and dignified young man refused Yang He's offer to hug him without thinking.
Xiao said softly, frowning along the way.
Qin Luo's ear moved, and he half-bent down, "Xiao Qi, what's wrong?"
The atmosphere here was pleasant and relaxed. Yang He walked in quickly and said, "Master, I've heard that the annual God Sacrifice Parade will be held in the town tonight. It is the most grand event in this place. I heard that every household will participate."
Yun Qi was still young and didn't feel shy when being held by others. She hugged Yang Xiu's neck as a matter of course and narrowed her eyes, "There are so many people."
The crowd moved forward with the parade, and Qin Luo and others were swept up by the crowd and joined them.
Yang Xiu chuckled, "I didn't expect that the little master would be stumped one day."
Before, even he thought that Master Xuankong was an old man in his seventies or eighties with gray hair and a childlike face.
Qin Luo was slightly startled, but then he realized what he was doing. He also stretched out his slender little finger, hooked it with the white and slightly stubby little finger, and pressed it heavily with his thumb.
If you look carefully, you will see that there are all kinds of monsters and ghosts in the team. As the largest local folk event, the costumes, makeup, props, etc. are all of a very high standard, and it is not something you can just fool around with.
"Yes, what's wrong?" Qin Luo looked at the Taoist priest who was reciting sacrificial inscriptions in front of the altar. He looked about forty or fifty. Although he did not have the celestial spirit as imagined, he must be a local Taoist priest who could preside over such a grand ceremony.
Have a higher status.
Xiaotuanzi imagined in his mind that he was missing two front teeth, talking and eating, and then he crossed his arms and let out a cold snort.
It's not completely dark yet. An altar has been set up in front of the temple. A Taoist priest in yellow robe is burning incense and candles to the gods. There are three traditional animals worshiped on the long table. Then firecrackers are blasting and the Taoist priest is reciting sacrificial inscriptions.
.
Xiaotuanzi made a comeback, raised his eyebrows excitedly and asked, "Does my brother also know how to speak out?"
Several parade teams have gathered in front of the temple. Each team has as few as three or four hundred people and as many as five or six hundred people. There is a clear division of labor. Some play gongs and drums, some set off fireworks and firecrackers, and others dress up as monsters and monsters.
They walked into the long street and paraded along the long street with the sound of gongs and drums and the mighty sound of silk and bamboo.
Qin Luo saw that she was extraordinarily cute, but she was really not worthy of Master Xuankong, whom everyone in the capital respected, so he couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
The nine-tailed fox is all white, and I don’t know what mechanism is installed in the costume. The nine tails on the back of the buttocks stretch with the actor’s movements, and the effect is very realistic, as if the nine tails really grew by themselves.
The maid puppet's face is painted white, her lips are painted scarlet, and she wears a huge and heavy bun and crown on her head. Thin ribbons hang from the crown, hanging her arms. The actor's hands and feet are dull, like a puppet being manipulated.
There are also the hanging ghost with his tongue sticking out, the wedding ghost with disheveled hair and blood-red body, the frightened ghost with his mouth open and screaming, the black and white impermanence with a high hat on his head, etc., each of them is lifelike, flexible and vivid, perfectly blending the weirdness and fear.
and aesthetic.
There is only one update tonight, because the next one is a bit scary, and I am so scared as I write.
