Chapter 448: Sacrifice to the Moon

With the assistance of everyone, the glasses brother successfully hugged the beauty and envied a group of Wangwang.

If it weren't for the principle of not burning true love, this group of great magicians would be afraid that they would rub the fireball on the spot!

"Ahem, next!" Ruoshui shouted as he took a pen and paper to make a note.

The next one to come up was a tall and thin man, looking at his appearance and dress, a youthful temperament came to his face.

"In ancient times, Cao Zijian wrote poems in seven steps, and today I will follow the example of the ancients and improvise a poem!" said the tall and thin man with a wine glass in his hand.

As soon as these words came out, those pilgrims who didn't have ink in their stomachs couldn't help but shed tears of remorse, the same nine-year compulsory education, why can others be so good?

Xuan Wei also showed a little relieved smile, this is the correct way to open the moon viewing party!

Under the gaze of everyone, the tall and thin man suddenly raised his head and drank a sip of wine, which really had a bit of the style of a writer.

Syllable!

The tall and thin man took a step with great confidence, shook his head and chanted: "The title of the poem "Praise for the Bright Moon", please appreciate it!"

Hearing the name of this poem, the pilgrims who were full of anticipation suddenly showed a little strange expression, why did they feel a little white?

The tall and thin man continued to walk, and said as he spoke: "The bright moon in the sky is really round! really, very round, very round! very, very round! extremely round! thief round! It's almost round~~~"

The voice fell, just as the seventh step was taken, the tall and thin man raised his glass and drank the wine in an extremely chic manner, which is called a romantic and uninhibited!

There was silence in the clearing, and the pilgrims who were eating and drinking were all stunned, looking at the tall and thin man in the field stupidly.

A few seconds later, a burst of laughter erupted.

"It turns out that it is so easy to compose poems, then I can also become a great poet in the future!"

"I have read Xiaobaiwen for more than ten years, and I thought that all poisons would not invade, but I didn't expect to die on a mere poem today!"

"This is simply an all-purpose template, the Chinese teacher can smile at Jiuquan!"

"I'm kind of obedient to this buddy, you're really good! Honestly, have you secretly attended cram school, and you still suffer from a herniated disc in your waist when you wash your hair every day?"

Xuanwei was also shocked by the "talent" of this tall and thin man, and it was poetry at his fingertips, this son was so terrifying, I am afraid that I can't keep it?

"Next!" Ruoshui shouted as he wiped the wine on his hand and said speechlessly.

"Wow~~~" but seeing Erha's fart and about to run to the middle, it is rare for so many people to watch, and Erha is a little difficult to press his singer's soul.

Xuanwei's face changed, he could even accept someone dancing in the square, and he didn't want to hear Erha open his voice.

As long as Erha opens his voice and sings, it is estimated that tonight's moon viewing party can end early!

Sou~~~

A cold light flashed and stuck straight in front of Erha's claws, forcing Erha to stop urgently.

Erha looked at it, wasn't that the flying knife that Xiaoyu was playing?

A cold sweat broke out on his back, and Erha turned his head stiffly, and saw Xiao Yu with an innocent smile on his face, skillfully holding a cold and shining flying knife in his hand.

Out of the instinct of survival, Erha picked up the flying knife on the ground and ran back to Xiaoyu's feet in a gloomy manner.

The appearance of sitting precariously is really weak, pitiful and helpless!

……

Among the next pilgrims, there are many who have performed well.

For example, a little girl who was only a little more than ten years old, she danced a neon dress and feather dance with the accompaniment of Xuan Wei.

The little girl has a sweet appearance, a slender figure, and a solid basic dance skills, even if she is not dressed up on stage, her beautiful dancing posture still amazes many pilgrims.

Even Xuanwei was amazed by it, and took out a jade talisman from his sleeve on the spot and gave it to the little girl.

This piece of jade is of high quality, not to mention that it is carved with a talisman seal, which has the protective effect of driving away evil spirits and warding off disasters.

The little girl was still young and did not know much about the value of jade, but her parents were a little apprehensive and felt that they should not accept such a valuable gift.

Xuan smiled gently, and bluntly said that if a mere piece of jade can make this little girl grow up healthy, then it will be worth it!

In the end, the little girl's parents pulled her to thank her again and again, and then accepted the gift with great difficulty.

Several other performances attracted a lot of applauding pilgrims, and Xuan Wei also prepared various rewards.

It's hard to say whether it's worth the money, but what Xuanwei gives is definitely the kind that can save lives at critical moments.

……

Happy times are always short-lived.

The wine in the cup was drunk, the food on the plate was eaten, and the moon viewing party was coming to an end.

"Supreme Heavenly Venerable, in the end, Benguan will lead all the laymen to worship the moon together, and end tonight's moon viewing party!" Xuan Wei got up and said.

Since ancient times, China has had the custom of "autumn twilight and sunset", the so-called "sunset moon", that is, worshipping the moon god.

Worship the moon originated from the worship of the moon by the ancient people, the royal family called the moon god the god of the night, and after the rise of the Daomen, the moon god was called the Taiyin Xingjun, and the folk believed that the moon god was a woman, such as the well-known Chang'e.

Although it is not the Mid-Autumn Festival today, there is a full moon in the sky, and it is not impossible to hold a moon worship ceremony to pray for the moon god to bless the world.

"Ruoshui, you will be the main priest, and the teachers and others will be praised as a salute, and the deacon will assist you!" Xuan Wei said to Ruoshui.

"Obey the master's orders!" Ruoshui replied softly.

According to traditional customs, there is a saying in China that "men do not worship the moon, women do not worship the stove", which means that when a family worships the moon, the chief priest in charge of the work is often served by women, while men assist as praisers and deacons.

Tomorrow night, a few people brought a sacrificial table, on which were placed incense candles and offerings, and in the center of the sacrificial table were placed three wine glasses and a pot of wine, and then a straw mat for worship was placed in front of the sacrificial table.

Xuanwei took out the moonshine paper prepared in advance, as well as the blessings used to worship the moon.

Sacrifice the moon blessing text, short and beautiful is appropriate, four words, five words, seven words poems and other forms can be, and the blessing should be brushed, neatly transcribed on the rice paper.

With all the props needed, Xuan Wei signaled to Ruoshui that he could start the moon worship ceremony.

As the main priest, Wakasui came to sit on the straw mat in front of the sacrifice table, and instead of sitting in an ordinary position, he sat solemnly upright, that is, his knees were tight, his buttocks were sitting on his heels, his feet were close to the ground, his hands were on his knees, and his eyes were looking straight ahead.

Offering incense, sacrificing wine, reading blessings, and then burning blessings and moonlight, the tedious and solemn process made the pilgrims present speechless.

However, in addition to being amazed by the variety of moon worship processes, the pilgrims also felt the solemnity and piety revealed in every detail of the ceremony.

For example, when worshipping the moon in the future, it needs to be subdivided into several steps: "worship-xing-worshipping-xing-flattening".

Worship, needless to say, pilgrims who often enter incense understand.

Xing is to lift the hips, straighten the upper body, support the body with the knees, and then slowly bow to the hands, in the process of the hands to the ground, head to the hands, and then slowly get up.

Flat body means standing up from a sitting position with both feet at the same time.

Many people just bow their heads and bow down, but they don't know that there are so many details.
