Chapter 14: The Poseidon Festival
In the East Bay in the evening, the sun fades from its heat, like a pickled duck egg yolk, far away on the sea level. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The slightly fishy sea breeze blows on the beach, setting off waves of waves that blow against the reef with a soft rustling sound.
However, what does not match the calm sea view is that at this time, the East Bay is full of well-dressed tourists, these people gather in groups of three or five, from the direction of the city gate, slowly gather here on the beach, the lights are like a long dragon, illuminating the dark road.
In the middle of the beach stood a huge wooden bonfire more than three feet high, and from time to time someone threw wood into it, and some strange people such as goddesses stood not far from the fire, pointing and talking something.
When he arrived at the East Bay Bay, Qin Lu saw such a scene. It was as if half of the residents of Jianye City had run out, and the beach was full of black figures. The lively scene is comparable to a superstar concert in a previous life.
"This is the Poseidon Festival, when did it become so lively?"
Qin Lu stood on a relatively high hill, with Fu Xian Xian and Xiao Snake Charm on both sides of his body, Qin Baozhen led the Xiaohua sisters to stand behind the three of them, and was looking at the beach with great interest.
Compared to when the two of them were young, the Poseidon Festival has obviously become much more spectacular. Qin Lu still remembered the scene when he participated in the last time, there was no such a big boat in that era, and the sacrifices were not as many as now, they were messy, and they were nearly 100 meters long.
"I heard that the Poseidon Festival and the celebration of the East China Sea Dragon Palace are combined, and the scene is so big, probably there is a part of the reason for this......"
Qin Baozhen was wearing a light cyan dress, her long hair was uncovered, she was holding a paper lantern in her hand, and the faint candlelight was reflected on her slightly green little face, which actually had a somewhat charming feeling.
Qin Lu glanced back at her, couldn't help pinching her little nose, and said with a smile: "The big scene is worthy of my sister, I haven't been here for a long time, today my brother took you around, it can be regarded as compensation for all these years!"
"This is what you said~" Qin Baozhen stuck out her tongue, "Don't walk a few steps for a while and complain about being tired, this time I won't be soft-hearted~"
"Of course, when did I lie to you. ”
While speaking, Qin Lu led everyone down to the vicinity of the bay.
This is a very grand festival, and the vendors in the city have already smelled the smell of copper coins, and from the hill, you can see that the beach of the East Bay is full of vendors who have come out to set up stalls during the festival.
Foodsellers, ornaments, lanterns, and even fortune tellers came to join in the fun, sitting behind their desks and shaking bells.
Qin Lu felt that the surrounding environment was a bit like a country gathering in his previous life, but the scale was much larger. And the style has become much rougher, especially near the campfire, and even around a group of huge beasts.
The fierce tigers of Aolai, the giant turtles of the East China Sea, and the huge black bears covered in stiff hair, under the control of their masters, kept carrying the materials needed for the festival, and when Qin Lu walked over, they had already begun to build a second fire.
Directly in front of the bay are several huge merchant ships, connected to each other by planks. When the festival begins, the Tokai dragon clan performs a prayer dance in the middle of the bay, and it becomes the main stage to watch the festival.
Qin Lu finally understood why Li Guofu left him that invitation, because next to the main ship of the festival, there was the Li family's merchant ship parked, and it was obvious that Li Shanren's purpose in giving him the invitation was to invite him to participate in the Poseidon Festival.
"I forgot about this stubble......
Qin Lu's face was a little embarrassed, the scholar's memory was too vague, and he actually forgot about the merchant ship. I also said that I wanted to compensate for the treasures, and I didn't even have a boat, so how could I take them to see the Poseidon Festival?
After looking around, there were some small boats in the bay, but after asking, I found out that those boats had already been booked, and Rao was three times the price of Qin Lu, but no one was willing to let them.
It was obviously too late to think of a way now, and just as Qin Lu was walking around the venue, the sea had already lit up with a huge blue light, and nine huge blue dragons rose from the sea and burrowed into the clouds with a long roar.
At this time, on the shore of the East China Sea, there are more than one festival like the Poseidon Festival, from Jianye City all the way to the north, all the way to the vicinity of Aolai Kingdom, countless seaside residents have seen this spectacular scene.
Nine blue dragons emerged from the sky, pulling a gigantic coral throne straight into the clouds. The surface of the sea burst into a large splash of water, like a cloud, spreading away......
"The Dragon Clan of the East China Sea is really a group of people who love to talk about pomp......"
Outside the East Bay, on a luxurious merchant ship with exaggerated decorations, several men stand with their hands in their hands, looking at the dragons flying and circling on the sea level.
At the front of the crowd was a man in brocade with a big belly, but it was the head of the Li family, Li Guofu, who had just come into contact with Qin Lu two days ago!
"It's so exaggerated every year, as for it?" Li Shijun stood behind his father and yawned long, "It's just bullying these little fishermen who haven't seen the world, it's boring!"
It is not surprising that Li Shijun made such an exclamation, the Poseidon Festival was originally just a gathering of coastal fishermen, but now, it has become a show dominated by the dragon clan, which really feels like putting the cart before the horse.
Li Guofu obviously agreed with the eldest son's point of view, nodded and said: "Although the words are good, but this is also an opportunity to contact the dragon clan, if you want to deal with the sea, it is indispensable to interact with these people, they love to pretend not to be tight, and endure it." ”
After that, he turned around and glanced at the huge wooden boat in the middle of the bay, and said: "I will be on the boat for a while, this year is extraordinary, it is said that the eldest princess of the Dragon Palace will also appear, and nothing can happen!"
"Eldest princess?"
Behind the crowd, a muffled snort came from the cold, "Daddy, I haven't seen what the dragon girl looks like, take me to see it!"
The two immediately swept their gaze over, and saw a young man with a bruised face sitting at the table, tearing the chicken leg in his hand while talking to the two men standing at the bow of the boat.
Li Shijun sneered and looked the person up and down, "I said second brother, that's the eldest princess of the Dragon Clan, are you sure that your current appearance won't scare people?"
As soon as the words fell, Li Shikun's face instantly became stiff, he had just slipped out of prison, and the wounds on his face had not yet healed. At this moment, he was mentioned by his eldest brother about the sad matter, and he was naturally a little unhappy in his heart.
