Second, under the mountain of swords and sea of ??fire
When the bonfire burned into a pile of red charcoal, some fierce and brave Miao men shouted a few words, faced the red flames, jumped barefoot into the bright red charcoal, danced in the glow of stars and fire, and stepped out sparks
splash.
"Ah! They..." Ye'er screamed, pointing at the men dancing in the flames and hiding her face in Zhu Tong's arms; she was soft-hearted and could not bear to see such a scene.
"Don't be afraid, they won't be hurt." Zhu Tong comforted Ye'er softly. In fact, he can also perform such things, as long as he paints his hands and feet with Qiyousan; but those Miao men don't seem to have similar Jianghu on their feet.
Secret medicine, they rely on long-standing devout beliefs and a pair of well-trained iron feet.
There was a huge tree standing in the middle of the square, with long knives lying across it, and the spotlights reflected the sharp cold light on the blades.
A wizard in colorful clothes emerged from the sea of fire and danced around the giant tree for several weeks; someone sent a rooster.
The wizard pulled out a long knife from the giant tree and cut off the chicken's head with a "Huo" sound. The splattered chicken blood stained the surrounding land red. The wizard exercised his feet in the chicken blood and wiped it with a blue cloth.
, stepped on the blade with bare feet.
The crowd burst into exclamations, and the flashlights shone randomly; but the wizard took his time and stepped up step by step, and also performed various poses such as "Golden Rooster Standing on His Own", "Standing on the Sky", "One-Armed Hanging Knife", and "Hanging Upside Down Golden Hook".
Ye'er didn't dare to look at it anymore, and Xiao Xiao also turned his head.
Duohua ran over. She was also barefoot and pouted: "Brother, I stepped on it and got burned."
Zhu Tong lifted up her white and tender feet and secretly applied Qiyousan on her: "Go ahead, you won't get burned again."
Ye'er didn't hold him back, but Duohua had already run out and really jumped into the sea of fire; she had absolute trust in Zhu Tong's ability, and this time, she didn't feel the slightest heat.
A Miao girl danced in the sea of fire, almost taking away most of the scenery of Shangdao Mountain. Moreover, this Miao girl was still so beautiful.
Many tourists gathered next to the sea of fire and used various digital equipment to capture the passionate dance of the flowers; many of them were professional-level long and short cannons.
After being bored in Shanghai for several months, Duohua felt relaxed in the mountains and rivers of her hometown; she learned a dance in Shanghai, and her light dance posture was unique among the Miao people, blooming with dazzling grace.
Huang Hai walked over and looked at Duohua with eyes full of appreciation and tenderness.
"Are you staying?" Because of the flowers, Ye'er was not so resistant to the sea of fire and said to Huang Hai.
"Why don't you go too?" Xiao Xiao was pushing the Yellow Sea, and also went into the Sea of Fire.
"I can't, Li Xiang, what did you put on her feet?" Huang Hai was more concerned about whether Duohua would be injured. He saw Zhu Tong doing something to Duohua's feet.
Of course, Zhu Tong couldn't completely deny it, nor could he tell the truth. He just said with a smile: "You can go if you want. I'll put medicine on your feet too."
"I'm not going, just take a look." Huang Hai was successfully diverted. Growing up in the city, he did not have the freedom and ease of the Miao family.
Cheng Zhenjiang turned around. He and his girlfriend had already walked around Phoenix City thoroughly, and it didn't look very good.
"Master Huang, let's go to the bar first."
Huang Hai nodded, Cheng Zhenjiang pouted at the flowers dancing in the coals, and left.
The following performances were each more thrilling than the last. Five men went up the mountain of swords one after another, and the first one picked up the hot coals. The Miao mage muttered a spell, waved it in the air a few times, and then threw it into his mouth.
At this time, even Zhu Tong was shocked. Although Qiyousan was powerful, it could not be eaten. When the Miao family mage chewed the charcoal, his face was full of joy.
This is really a strange thing. He seems to be protected by gods; maybe, it's just pure faith...
The excitement will always return to dullness. After the carnival in the square, people dispersed and merged into the night of Phoenix City, the low singing of Tuojiang River, and the picturesque lights, shadows and sounds of the small town in western Hunan.
Zhu Tong and the others followed the stone road to Tiaoyan. There were many fewer people putting out river lanterns today, so Ye'er pulled him up to the center of the river and lit a river lantern.
"First of all, I would like to thank our parents and wish them peace in heaven."
The river lantern folded from oil paper rotated three times in the river and floated away in a small whirlpool. Tears appeared in Ye'er's eyes.
"Every year on the second day of the lunar new year, my sister and I would go to the river in our hometown to put river lanterns, but they were washed away by the water. That year, the river next to our house swelled, and our parents sent us to a higher place to go home.
I rescued some things, but they never came back."
Ye'er sadly recounted the past and asked Zhu Tong: "Aren't you going to put out river lanterns? For my uncle and aunt."
"I haven't let it go before, and I will let it go with Ye'er every year from now on."
Zhu Tong also lit a river lantern, but said nothing. He only slowly dipped his hand into the Tuojiang River and let the river lantern float along the current.
He didn't even know who his parents were? What they looked like? Are they alive or dead now? Of course, he didn't dare to talk nonsense. The old liar said that he picked them up. I hope this is not a lie.
"The river lanterns are bright, the river lanterns are bright, and the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl are full of joy. Brothers and sisters, would you like to put a lantern that will forever unite us?" A little girl in blue sang a song, came over with a basket, and held up a double-hearted river lantern; "Put me down."
With the river lanterns, you will be happy all your life and never quarrel."
The little girl believed what she said, and there was no hint of businessman's hypocrisy on her innocent face.
"Okay, you have a few of these, we want them all." Zhu Tong took it and looked at the little girl's bamboo basket.
"No, I will only sell you one. Yongjietongxin is made by me very carefully. Each team of brothers and sisters will only give one. Could it be that you are very carefree, so you want many Yongjietongxin?"
Zhu Tong was choked and gasped. He didn't expect that a little girl buying a river lantern would say such a thing.
"Yes, we can only be together forever with one person, and my brother is not interested." Ye'er saw Zhu Tong's embarrassment, lit two candles on the river lantern, and held Zhu Tong's hand: "For my sister's river lantern,
We will also be in love with each other and be happy forever. Little sister, go and give them a candle too. Sister will give you the money, so you don’t have to change it."
"You must find it. I don't do it to make money. My grandma told me when she taught me how to do it. We must never be greedy or greedy for money." After the little girl found the change, she jumped over the rock to a flower not far away.
Be with Huang Hai and promote her eternal bond.
"What a good boy." Zhu Tong and Ye'er retracted their gazes and stared at each other.
"We will be happy forever and be united forever."
"Eternal and everlasting, we will always be united."
Following Ye'er's hand, the two sent the river lantern into the Tuojiang River. The warm candlelight flickered, and their wishes floated leisurely along with the quiet river water, so far away.
Zhu Tong and Ye'er hugged each other quietly, watching the concentric lantern float and disappear at the end of the river; this river lantern is destined not to last forever, I hope this blessing can bless him and Ye'er to stay together for a long time.
Xiao Xiao seemed to hang out in the bar by the river every night. After Zhu Tong and Ye'er put off the river lanterns, they followed Huang Hai and Duo Hua into the bar. They saw Xiao Xiao having a drink with a slightly handsome boy in front of the window.
Cheng Zhenjiang and his girlfriend were sitting inside and saw Zhu Tong and Ye Er raising their hands to wave them over.
Zhu Tong even saw two acquaintances, Xie Jing and Hong Jiaxin; one was the representative of the Silver Snake, and the other was the eldest lady of the fourth grade.
Where is Yanzi? Zhu Tong glanced around. Fortunately, the person he was most afraid of meeting was not in the bar.
Xie Jing is like a piece of exquisite crystal, gorgeous but cold, still dressed in bright jewels, with a black and oily mink shawl covering half of her pretty face.
Hong Jiaxin held up a glass of red wine, smiled lightly at Zhu Tong, and turned to say something to Xie Jing. She was also wearing noble clothes, but with her charlatanism in her bones, she looked like a noble mistress no matter how she looked.
Xie Jing glanced at Zhu Tong without any expression and made an orchid gesture, expressing that she was worried about Liu Yilan's situation.
Zhu Tong returned the gesture, indicating that he was thinking of a solution; through a brief exchange, he knew that Xie Jing and Liu Yilan had a deep relationship, and that they had already been to the Chen Family Inn.
The waiter came forward and led them to the corner of the bar, where they were barely seated. Huang Hai and Duohua also came in, and of course they had to sit together with Cheng Zhenjiang.
The bars in Phoenix can actually be regarded as quiet bars. They are generally very small in area and do not have the large scenes of hundreds of square meters in the city.
Originally, a bar like this was very suitable for the quietness and poetry of the small town of Phoenix. It was always a pleasure for a few friends to chat over wine under the dim candlelight while admiring the Tuojiang River not far away.
Perhaps due to the Spring Festival holiday, there were many people traveling to Phoenix, so the music in the bar first started to go crazy, and then the drinkers made a space in the center of the bar to dance wildly; thus, the bar seemed crowded and lively.
Ye'er didn't like liveliness, and now Zhu Tong didn't like crowded places either; their seats were facing the river, and they opened the windows and looked at the tourists on the riverside.
But Duohua liked it. She couldn't sit still and took Huang Hai to dance.
Fortunately, Huang Hai also had an active temperament, and Duohua's coquettish attitude was quite cute, so he followed her.
Zhu Tong ordered a bottle of beer and rolled it in his hand; Ye'er drank tea, and the two of them clasped their hands together under the table and sat quietly.
It was already around ten o'clock, and Zhu Tong was trying to find an excuse to go to the appointment with Suowonda Living Buddha and the Bamboo Taoist priest. Suowonda was the person present at the time, but things would not be that simple. What Mei Lanting said
It kept swirling in his mind, what role did Zhou Banweng play in this matter?
There are also those strange phenomena, the bamboo Taoist priest can actually smile in the starry sky, Liu Yilan moved from Fanjing Mountain to Phoenix City in an instant, these are too much beyond Zhu Tong's understanding.
Auntie Die is now at the foot of Nanhua Mountain, and that location may be the side hall of Tianwang Temple.
Zhu Tong was thinking wildly, and the butterfly god was flying gracefully. Suddenly there was a noise in the bar. Zhu Tong and Ye'er looked up and saw Huang Hai being knocked to the ground. The perpetrator turned out to be a large fire wheel.
