Today, frost is falling, and the bucket handle points to Xu!
Autumn Festival!
The golden color of autumn is about to pass, the temperature in the south will reach a low point, and the threshold of winter can already be seen. Spring plowing and summer hard work, autumn harvest and winter storage, before you know it, the year is coming to an end.
The people of the Akakata clan are also very touched. This is the third year.
Really unconsciously.
After the frost comes, the breeze comes first.
"After the Great Autumn Festival, we need to be on guard against the Houtian clan. The wind has been a bit off lately. It didn't come in mid-autumn this year, but it will probably arrive in late autumn. I saw wild geese flying northwest yesterday."
Yu Zai told several leaders in the tribe that if the Houtian clan arrived, they would strengthen their houses. At the end of the first year, when the Houtian clan arrived, many houses in the tribe flew into the sky and they went on a long journey.
went.
Many people had gathered near Gongtian. It was a beautiful day. Some people had already set off on the road several days ago. At that time, Xiang was still writing the script with the help of Xiong Tao and others.
Rural cooperatives cover many tribes, including Xunshan, but they rarely appear. After the roads were built, it has become much easier for everyone to travel.
But this year, for this first Great Autumn Festival, the warriors of the Xunshan clan brought strange participants.
Those who still wear stone chains on their hands and whose bodies are under witchcraft that cannot be lifted are the Diyou clan.
"Why are they here?"
"What did Xunshan do by bringing them here?"
More than one tribe is asking this question. Everyone does not have a good impression of the Diyou clan, and their labor reform period has not yet arrived. As for what to do after it arrives...
Xunshan seems to have already made plans.
But now, for some unknown reason, the people of the Diyou clan were brought by Xunshan, and after such a long period of "work", they have long lost the arrogance and vigor they had before, and what remains is only numbness and decadence.
"This is the fate they deserve."
Some tribal warriors spoke like this, not sympathizing with their current situation.
When the great wizard arrived, he saw the formation of Xunshan from afar. The great wizard of Xunshan still wore the iconic bird feather robe, and the high priest of the Gao Shi clan was dressed similarly to him.
Of course, the great wizard's explanation to everyone meant that even reform-through-labor prisoners also needed some entertainment. After thinking about it, he thought it would be appropriate to show them what the south looks like today, which would help stimulate their desire for a new life.
"It's time to set an example. People who have reformed can live in the south. I remember that this was the original intention of labor reform."
The great wizard's eyes fell on the people of the Diyou clan. As for the unlucky wizard, of course he would be imprisoned for a long time.
If some people of the Diyou clan are released, then not only the Diyou clan, but also Jiuli will join in the new construction. Although Jiuli's labor reform is different from that of the Diyou clan, after all, Jiuli will
Li still has his own fields, his own home, his own land, and his job is just to cultivate public land, while Di You can only live with earthen walls and mud every day, either building roads or on the road to build them.
The great wizard wants to set up two models and tell the remaining people to be a good person, recognize your mistakes, and you can still start a new life when you turn around. There were no individual cases and XX censorship during the Shanhai period. You will not be released here.
It will influence you to work in other tribes in the future...
The reserved venue has been set up, not far from the oil mill.
The Jiuli clan also came. Compared with the bustle around them, they seemed much quieter, but the young people among the Jiuli clan still couldn't help but look around, especially the big stage.
"If it's just a ritual dance, there doesn't seem to be a need to build such a large earthen platform."
Chi Ke looked around, and more and more tribes were arriving here. Occasionally, some tribesmen looked towards Jiuli, met their eyes, and said hello without being too enthusiastic.
"A good harvest has nothing to do with us."
Because the rice planting was postponed, Jiuli only planted one season of grains. The compost retting method had just been tested, and it was already the end of summer. Moreover, because the land in Harunoye was too shabby, Jiuli had to
The public fields must be cultivated first before the family fields can be cultivated, so of course there will be no bumper harvest.
However, the amount of grain has indeed increased. Compared with expectations, there is not much rice harvested. This year's harvest has indeed subverted Chi Ke's previous experience.
If only the land in Harunoye were better.
But this idea is just a thought. Chi Ke doesn't know how long his tribe will stay in the south, because it depends on the attitude of the Emperor of the Central Plains towards Jiuli.
"The Akagata clan is here."
In Jiulizhong, Chitang pointed not far away and said something to Chike.
Chi Ke recognized it clearly. The little wizard came, bringing his tribesmen and... a group of wild beasts?
"Why are so many strange beasts brought here? Are they going to be slaughtered here and offered as sacrifices to the gods and ancestors?"
"I think that little dolphin looks good, it's quite fat."
In Akagata's team, Douzi suddenly felt a chill in his buttocks.
"The sheep is fine too, but the chicken is a little too small."
Lambo's ears moved, and he heard that someone seemed to be disrespectful to Lambo.
Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the Dou Dou group. The dogs are wagging their tails and sparking lightning all the way. Of course, not all of them are here. After all, the tribe still has to look after its family.
If Qinghu Luoluo goes to steal chickens from the tribe again, that won't work.
There are no stools or anything like that. After sitting on the floor, there are also conflicts among the tribes, claiming that the place is assigned to them. Of course, this is usually because of a mistake.
"If I don't go up, the success of this Autumn Festival has nothing to do with me. I wasn't the one who made it happen. You should be standing there."
Under the call of Yu Zai, many wizards were preparing to go up to the earth platform to show their presence, showing that they were part of the cooperative, and then carried out the important link, which was to recite the sacrificial words. However, the great wizard of Xunshan did not go up.
The great wizard of Chaisang jumped up, and the great wizard of Xunshan said to Yuzai: "You can just do your own thing. This year's harvest will be great, and Xunshan doesn't have much credit. Besides, I'm in Dazhou."
The sacrifices have already been made during the Spring Festival. If we go up there again, wouldn't it be the same as the Spring Festival?"
After the great wizard refused, he listened and watched below. However, after the other wizards went up, they did not run naked. The warrior who once said that he would let his wizard run naked is now wearing a grass skirt on his lower body, and his animal skin has been removed.
, but ultimately did not go up.
The sacrificial words were recited, using the Thousand-Character Classic!
The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, and the universe is vast and desolate. The sun and moon are waxing and waning, and the stars and constellations are spread out.
Cold comes and summer comes, harvest is harvested in autumn and stored in winter. Leap years are more than one year old, and the law is Lu to adjust the Yang.
After the chanting of the high priest, people who perform ritual dances will come up to perform music and dance, and according to the agreed arrangements, performers from each tribe will come to entertain the crowd.
The sacrificial flames burned brightly, and ancient songs echoed in the mountains of heaven and earth.
Just like under the clear sky, there are herds of cattle and sheep on the north side of the mountain, and rich rice fields and barns on the south side of the mountain. The singing of chickens and dolphins plus the laughter of people are walking on the golden road.
On the avenue of sunset.
There are wizards who go up and try to recite rituals with emotion, there are wizards who go up and perform ancient hunting dances, and there are wizards who, when they go up to entertain everyone, they don’t know what they are thinking, and people can’t understand what they are doing.
do what.
"Why are you boiling water?"
There is more than one person who doesn't understand.
"Newly harvested radishes! Five shells each!"
Yan Pan pushed a small cart here and shouted that some tribesmen were going to buy it. People from the Jiuli clan bought radishes. It was the first time they saw this strange crop, and after nibbling it...it actually tasted pretty good.
Chi Ke's eyes were fixed on the bitten radish.
The crops I have never seen before are incredible.
Of course, there are also powerful people. After the three wizards brought a cow up, they grabbed the tail of the cow and started to swing with the old cow. This dance made Yuzai really confused, but he was cheered by a group of people.
!
But this is indeed the best dance I have danced so far.
"This is the joy of Ge Tianshi! The three of them danced on the tail of the ox and sang eight songs!"
The great wizard of Xunshan was also surprised, and of course the even more surprised was the high priest of the Gaoshi clan.
Damn it, there is someone in our south who can dance Ge Tianshi’s music? Which tribe is this talent from?!
Prince Changqin looked at the three wizards dancing and singing while holding on to the oxtail, and was a little surprised. The Joy of Ge Tianshi was not easy to learn. After all, there were eight chapters.
"The music of Ge Tianshi in ancient times was performed in the form of three people holding ox tails and tapping their feet to sing eight songs."
"The first chapter is called 'Zai Min', the second chapter is called 'Xuanniao', the third chapter is called 'Sui Cao Mu', the fourth chapter is called 'Fen Wugu', the fifth chapter is called 'Jing Tian Chang', and the sixth chapter is called
The seventh chapter of 'Dadi Gong' is called 'Yidi De', and the eighth chapter is called 'The Ultimate of All Things'."
Sure enough, the people above stopped dancing after dancing for a while.
"Keep dancing, keep dancing!"
The high priest of the Gao Shi family stood up, and the old man puffed his beard and stared: "Dance, it's your mother's fault! Why did you stop when you were so excited!"
"It won't happen again."
The three wizards scratched their heads: "We know how to dance three chapters. Last year, when we were building a mountain road in the Wilderness of Datang, the Tao Tang envoy from the Central Plains taught the warriors of our tribe how to dance. We learned it and here we are.
Used at the Great Autumn Festival."
The Tao-Tang envoy from the Central Plains?
Oh, Ah Hong!
No, no, no, what a red, that’s the Emperor’s son Danzhu!
The high priest of the Gao Shi clan knew A Hong's true identity, so he suppressed the curse words at this time.
So everyone made some kind noises, and the three wizards laughed and left happily. After all, it was a matter of having a long face.
Ruanzai was chewing a radish in her hand and thought that this "Autumn Harvest Party" was really interesting.
I originally thought that each tribe could only sing one or two lines of songs, but I didn't expect that everyone was really enthusiastic about making everyone happy. Of course, it was very likely because of what Yu Zai said. These things, except for the joy,
In addition to pleasing everyone, we also delight our ancestors and gods.
For wizards, singing and dancing for the younger generations is second best, and the right thing is to show them to the ancestors.
"Okay, the three of them dance pretty well."
Prince Changqin unexpectedly gave a high evaluation. After all, Ge Tian's music is the originator of ancient music. Some parts are rough and unrestrained, which is also due to the times. But in general, it can awaken people's feelings about the era of their ancestors.
A sense of joy, this is the importance and necessity of ancient music.
But for other wizards, the joy of Ge Tianshi performed by these three guys can be said to have put a lot of pressure on them. In front of their ancestors, perhaps their "play" is no longer outstanding.
You can’t embarrass yourself in front of your ancestors!
In the clear sky, the ancestors are watching me from the far side!
When someone in the tribe saw Tong Hong, they greeted the wizard: "Aren't you going to play?"
The shaman of Tonghong family was holding a new cow horn, but his face was a little pale at this time.
He wiped his sweat and saw Prince Changqin not far away, and his confidence collapsed instantly.
"Hey, I'm going."
When Lao Niu's horn sounded, the people of the Tong Hong family thought it would take a long time to listen, but they didn't expect that the Tong Hong family's shaman blew two times and came down, and the tone was just right.
"Isn't this good? Why did you come down?"
You Lao went to ask him, and the shaman of Tonghong clan sighed and pointed to the Prince Changqin not far away.
"Hey! Have you seen him? He took my horn last time and played it very nicely in front of me."
My mentality is broken. If I continue to perform, the sound may be messed up.
Just sing a few lines and achieve the highest level is enough. As for these two voices, I learned them secretly by trying to remember the timbre at that time.
And then, among the tribes in the three mountains and four fields, the wizards of the clans such as Tiel Ya were on top. However, they did not dance or sing immediately, nor did they boil water or fuck the oxtail. Instead, they formed a strange "formation" and stood alone.
In front, three people on the side.
The shamans of the Tier Ya family, Baili Mao began to sing, and the ancient ballads were sung. It sounded fine at first, but suddenly it broke, as if it was over.
But this is just the beginning!
The Jinghua clan, as well as the wizards from the other two tribes, suddenly picked up the broken song, but it was a new song. However, the content of the song closely followed the content of the wizard Heiya clan.
"This is a new ballad!"
Ancient ballads are often short, so they are usually sung twice and paused many times. But this time, their ballads are longer. From the first ballad to the sixth ballad, the four people each have their own role.
At the end, briefly, the four people sang the seventh ballad.
"This is Dange."
Prince Changqin once again commented that the so-called Dange means "one person sings in harmony with three people".
Singing alone is "tu song", which is the most primitive singing method.
"That's right, that's right! No matter whether our ancestors are happy or not, as long as I am happy, that's fine."
The great wizard of Chaisang Mountain has a smile on his face, which is also a matter of having a long face.
"Xiang, it's your turn."
Yuzai patted the elephant, and the wizards around him smiled kindly and said, "Zai, why don't you go up and dance!"
Yu Zai responded loudly: "My dancing is too bad, and I will be scolded by my ancestors! But we have something better. Although we don't dance, it will definitely surprise you!"
So, Ruan Zai found a group of people and carried the big wooden platform up. Xiang was holding the leather figures nervously, while Prince Changqin was holding Baoqin and walked up calmly.
"Is that the Prince's Changqin?"
Only then did Chi Songzi notice him. He was stunned at first, and then he was shocked and confused. Fortunately, Mr. Wu Pan gave an explanation. As for Yijun, he was staring at those little skinned people. He heard that
Cixiang made this thing very beautiful, but he didn't look at it. He felt it was a pity at the time.
Shan Bo ran out from the crowd, holding a bunch of skin figures on his tentacles.
"Where did this mountain spirit come from?"
"Shan Bo, it's Shan Bo!"
Soldiers from all over the mountains and fields recognized this guy.
The wooden platform has been set up and the curtain is ready. Ruanzai is standing behind. This time, without the help of Guzi, Ruizai can shine on his own.
When the witchcraft lights up, when shadow puppets appear behind the curtain.
People's eyes were captured instantly.
Mountains, clouds, birds, giants.
"What's this?"
The wizards were extremely surprised and whispered among themselves, but they were afraid of missing even a single scene, so they quickly became quiet.
Chi Ke and the others were also stunned, staring at the curtain.
When the transparent light seems a little dim, the vast years are suddenly visible within easy reach.
The prince played the harp, and his fingers moved the strings.
"When history becomes a story, when a story becomes a legend."
