Because he changed the direction, he passed a big river this time.
Every realm, every continent, has different topography, and all kinds of strange things, but one thing, one or several mother rivers are a must!
There are small rivers in small places, and then they converge into big rivers, rushing down and nourishing countless human beings. Water is the most basic condition for the production of life, and it is the same everywhere!
Therefore, the dragon god culture that controls rivers is the most widespread phenomenon in the universe.
Of course, there is also a mother river in the place of exile, named Jiangshangjiang! Just by hearing this name, you can know its position in the mountains and landscapes of the place of exile; throughout the place of exile, countless streams merge into small rivers, and the small rivers then merge into tributaries, and the tributaries gather into regional
The river finally formed the great river that surges across the continent of exile. It is the only mother river recognized by everyone, Jiang Shang Jiang!
The Jiangshangjiang River runs through the north and south of the place of exile. It is tens of thousands of miles long and twists and turns, leaving countless beautiful scenery along the way. Various large waterfalls, giant lakes, strange and dangerous water gorges, some are magnificent, some are beautiful, some are gentle, some are rapid...
Exiles are often proud that half of the 100 scenes in exile are on the river! This shows that Jiang Shang Jiang has a sense of presence in the place of exile.
Lou Xiaoyi flew in the wrong direction last time, so he didn't have the chance to see this great river. This time he was lucky enough to go down the river. While browsing the scenic spots along the river, he also discovered a very strange place.
Looking down from a high altitude, one section of the river, which is tens of thousands of miles long, is about three thousand miles long. There are countless people gathered on both sides of the river. Even if they are scattered throughout the three thousand miles of long flow, according to his visual inspection, the crowd gathered is at least
On top of millions!
It is unimaginable that such a large gathering exists in the mortal world. Fortunately, it is spread out over a long distance, so there will be no disorderly stampede!
The largest crowds gathered were at both ends of the 3,000-mile river. There were hundreds of thousands of people surrounding a section of the river downstream, while somewhere in the upstream 3,000 miles away, there were hundreds of thousands of people.
And this flow of people is still gathering!
What are you doing? Lou Xiaoyi is interested!
………………
"I don't want to go! It feels so strange to have to stay on the boat for several days with so many boring people watching!"
Huang Xiaoya turned her head and rejected her mother's persuasion again;
She is a girl in her prime, which is the most beautiful stage in her life. There are too many fun things waiting for her, and there are also better prospects calling for her. Dragon boat racing, let’s see if it’s okay, really
She doesn't want to end up doing it!
The beautiful woman sighed and took out her trump card, "Yaya, if you continue to disobey me, when your grandpa comes, you won't be able to do anything anymore, and you will have to eat the steak!"
Huang Xiaoya turned away angrily and pretended not to hear!
Of course her name is not Huang Xiaoya, it's just her nickname. Her real name is Huang Xiaoya, the name given by her grandfather. She doesn't like either the first name or the nickname! But there is no way, in this family
, Grandpa is God, and no one dares to doubt it!
She also knew that she could not disobey her family's wishes in the end, which was actually her grandfather's wishes, but as an adult, she felt that she had the right to express herself, even if the final result was still compliance...
What she doesn’t want to go to is the Dragon Boat Festival held once every ten years in the place of exile!
This is not a small event, but the only festival in the entire place of exile where all the people participate, celebrate with ordinary people, and enjoy both the refined and the popular!
It’s called the Dragon God Festival, and one of the most important, spectacular, intense, and beautiful events is the Dragon Boat Race!
Take a section of the river in the middle of the river, which is three thousand miles long. Each dragon boat starts from the downstream and goes upstream. Which dragon boat can reach the end first!
The rules are very simple. With such a big scene and so many onlookers, of course it should be as simple as possible. If it is too complicated, it will lose the fun!
Standing on both sides of the river, with crowds of people watching, cheering for your favorite dragon boat, releasing emotions, relieving stress, and enjoying a rare relaxation once in ten years, it is the most important festival in the lives of local indigenous people!
When did this festival start? It’s too long to know! But among the people who participated, there was a clear division;
In the early days of the dragon boat race, the participants were basically ordinary mortals. Tens of thousands of years ago, due to the gradual promotion of cultivation in the exile, it was recognized by more people, so the dragon boat race also began to become a cultivator.
A festival to enjoy with mortals!
This is a very common thing in the world of cultivation. There is no country in the exile, each city is autonomous, and the ruler is the monk. The dragon boat race eventually evolved into a competition for monks, which is a natural thing!
On the contrary, it’s more fun!
How many miles can an ordinary mortal row in the water? Ten miles would be half-dead from exhaustion, and twenty miles would be a big hurdle, and that’s even while swimming down the river!
This festival, which is held once every ten years, ends in a matter of hours, and the interest is gone as soon as it starts. It is so disappointing! Moreover, the distance is too short, and it cannot accommodate too many spectators!
The participation of practitioners has fundamentally changed the situation, hundreds of miles, thousands of miles, and now three thousand miles! Still going against the current!
The fastest dragon boat in history traveled three thousand miles upstream in five days!
Of course, this time is not the time for the monks to row. If there are twenty Lou Xiaoyi sitting on the dragon boat, it may only be one hour. It is not possible to row fast. If you row fast, it will easily fly...
If there were twenty foundations, it would be over in one day, and there would be no appreciation, interest, or linkage; after all, this is a festival that all cultivators share.
Those who row canoes are all Qigong practitioners!
Only they can perfectly combine competition and viewing. Within a few days, they don't have to worry about rest, defecation and urination, food and supplies, exhaustion of physical strength, and weather or weather.
, they couldn’t fly, so they could only row hard... in five to ten days, they could cross the three-thousand-mile river and satisfy the desire of the people along the coast who had been waiting for ten years!
Will be fine!
Mortal people spend a lot of time on the shore celebrating festivals, buying and selling, lantern festivals, food, sideshows, romantic events, cultural gatherings, etc., and then wait for the climax of the dragon boat crossing.
This is a real grand event, and the three-thousand-mile long stream allows more cities to participate! Businessmen have already set up sheds, tents, and stages on both sides of the river for people to consume. This is also their festival. In a short time
The Short Dragon Festival lasts for less than a month, and it can allow them to earn profits for at least one or two years!
Of course, it doesn’t matter if you can’t afford it. You can still enjoy the excitement of dragon boat racing by squatting on the steep slopes of strange rocks on both sides of the river!
Those places with various entertainment facilities should be left to city dwellers and rich people!
There are more than a hundred such viewing platforms on both sides of the river. Each city has its own place, and of course, each city also has its own dragon boat!
