It's night

The location of the activity is in a small open space outside the village, not very far from Ye Kai's accommodation, and it only takes ten minutes to walk along the road.

Fire Festival.

It sounds a bit like the stake at the stake, but it's certainly not the same thing.

It is a traditional ritual of the island nation.

That's right, rituals.

Because it is not even a festival, it is a ritual performed by farmers to protect their food from evil spirits.

The island nation is a nation that worships evil spirits, and even holds many activities related to evil spirits every year, which make the evil spirit culture of the island country still flourish even in modern society.

It was raining lightly.

Some of the tourists who came to visit mingled among the villagers, holding umbrellas and recording videos with their mobile phones.

Wearing pointed hats and ancient costumes, the islanders held orders woven of brocade and kept saying something in a tone similar to that of Tibetan Buddhism.

Even though Ye Kai was already proficient in Japanese, he couldn't hear what he was trying to say.

Ye Kai filmed this scene with a camera, and said to himself: "This set of clothes seems to be white and impermanent......"

The difference is that their clothes are red, very in the style of Northeast large-flower cotton jackets, unlike the plain and pure white of the mythical Bai Wuchang, which looks a little more vibrant.

Holding an umbrella, Ye Kai is recording his Vlog material.

The clothes worn by the tourists are different from the locals, and they look very different from afar.

Some of these tourists are island nationals themselves, and there are only four or five foreign tourists in this circle. Kushiro Marsh is a famous spot, but there are still many people who come here.

The person next to Ye Kai is a resident of Nagasaki, named Matsumoto Ichiro, who is about the same age as Ye Kai, and also holds an umbrella and a camera.

Since Ye Kai didn't tell him that he was from Huaxia, he thought that Ye Kai was an island tourist from Kyoto.

The system's gift in terms of language is quite powerful, as long as Ye Kai doesn't explain to others that he is a tourist from Huaxia, no one will think that he is a foreigner.

"Your first time here?" Matsumoto said.

"Yes, yes. It's the first time I've seen an event like this, and it's still very interesting, so it looks like Matsumoto-san has been here many times, right?

"Hehe, you'll find out when you look at it later. Matsumoto sold it and didn't tell Ye Kai directly.

The local villagers made one 'igloo after another' out of buckets of water, hollowed out and put lit candles in the middle, and soon hundreds of such igloos appeared in the clearing.

Countless candles converged into a bright fire, and the light of the fire reflected on the snow, illuminating the clearing extremely brightly.

"Did you have to do this before?" Ye Kai asked Matsumoto beside him.

"No, I don't. Matsumoto scratched his head and said, "Maybe it's raining that makes you think of using snow to keep out the rain, but it's prettier, right?" ”

Ye Kai nodded approvingly: "I think the same way, it is more ritualistic than lighting candles directly in the open space." ”

Matsumoto suddenly hit Ye Kai with his elbow and said, "Hey, hey, it's coming, look at it......"

The villagers had left, and so had the man in the ancient clothes, and now there were many young and beautiful girls standing in the middle, holding ...... in their hands Firewood?

I think it was rehearsed before, and the positions were very separated, but from some angles they were very neat.

In the winter, he bared his thighs, wore black shorts, and wore a short burlap skirt, which only covered his knees, and it was a stripe, like a hula skirt.

There was a strip of cloth tied around his head, and there were no words on it.

What to see?

Ye Kai glanced to the side, Matsumoto was pointing at the group of girls with the camera, and he couldn't notice his surroundings at all.

Forehead.

Is it the same reason as watching the car show in a dead house?

Do you want to climb over with a camera to shoot?

However, seeing Matsumoto so solemn, Ye Kai also aimed the camera at them. It is very convenient for Ye Kai to shoot this kind of activity with a gimbal, and the picture will not shake.

After zooming in, Ye Kai saw that what they were holding was not firewood, but wheat stalks.

The wheat stalks were connected by ropes, and the girls held the longest rope in their hands, the rope was between one meter and two meters, and it was twisted and twisted, and the leaves could not be estimated.

At this time, someone came forward with a lighter and lit the wheat stalks at the same time.

Rumble!

The flames on the wheat stalks made an explosive sound and burned rapidly, and the sound of this echo throughout the field. Unfazed, the girls took the rope and began to dance the burning straws.

It's like wielding a meteor hammer.

The huge flames swirled around the girls' bodies, and Ye Kai could hear the sound of flames flying from time to time when he stood so far away.

It's dangerous, isn't it? If the flame breaks the rope, isn't it the straw that will fly to someone else?

If someone really breaks the rope in the process of waving, the flaming wheat stalks will definitely fly into the faces of the people around them.

"The rope is special, isn't it?, don't you have to worry about breaking it?" Ye Kai asked Matsumoto beside him.

"Yes, the oil is not easy to burn, so the rope will not break, I have been here several times, and nothing like this has happened. ”

As the flame spins, the girl dances, sometimes jumping up and letting the rope fly under her feet with the flames, and her skirt flutters like a god of fire.

The girls didn't seem to be afraid, and some even laughed out loud.

Terrible.

The sparks of the people closest to Ye Kai after the wheat stalks were burned flew everywhere, and they could even fly to Ye Kai's side, and when they fell to the ground, they were quickly wiped out by the snow on the ground, leaving a black thing.

The wheat stalks burn fast, and there are more and more small sparks like this around.

Ye Kai took two steps back to avoid it, lest Mars fly to his clothes and leave any souvenirs.

Among the dancing girls, there are indeed two young ladies who are particularly good-looking. Matsumoto probably came to see them, otherwise Ye Kai really didn't find any reason why he would be so engrossed.

can only say that some people's world, Ye Kai really doesn't understand very well.

If they play with fire like this, if Ye Kai is an evil spirit, then it is estimated that they will stay away, and it is always known that the evil spirit is afraid of fire, or afraid of light.

Then there will be such activities, and Ye Kai is easy to understand.

Very primitive rituals, those costumes, scarves, skirts, and strange and cute poses, which look very ritualistic. The girls who wielded the flames were also quite happy.

The island nation has been able to protect its own culture, and many of the previous things have been preserved.

In the modern world, these traditional ceremonies are precious.

Ye Kai likes this atmosphere very much, there is a place near his hometown that holds a very grand lantern festival every year, although he will not want to go a second time after going once, but it is still remarkable to be able to preserve such a tradition.

When the girls finished dancing, Matsumoto smiled and said, "Well, it's good." ”

Ye Kai looked at the picture displayed in the camera and said, "It's really interesting. ”
