Chapter 85: The Holy Land of the Koi Clan

The Koi tribe doesn't live in a big area, and after about 10 minutes of walking, we came to a place that resembled a square.

The square is about the size of a football field, and in the middle of it is a statue of a carp made of red coral, with a small fountain next to the statue. Around the square, there are all kinds of stalls densely arranged, shouting and shouting, and tourists are weaving.

"Come on, take a look, take a look, South Seafood picks big pearls, decorates the rice well, and the beauty is top!"

"The elves' new light yarn, new tricks!

"Ice cream! The hottest yogurt ice cream in the world, you don't have to go to the world, you can buy it at your doorstep!"

……

When I first came in, I thought that the settlement was quiet and there were no people, so it turned out that everyone had come here.

"This is the holy place of the Koi people. Qu Yuan introduced.

Liar!

Shouldn't the Holy Land be very solemn, sacred, and quiet? It is the kind of sacred place where everyone needs to stand in a proper manner, and the slightest misposition or the slightest noise will be reprimanded! What kind of holy place is this kind of living bazaar in front of us?!

"Don't lie to you, this is really a holy place for the koi people. Qu Yuan proudly took us on a tour, and introduced while visiting: "The sacred places of the koi tribe are generally open to the public except for the time of worship. The red coral carp statue in the shrine is a landmark of our koi tribe, and many different races come here to visit......"

"So you developed it into a tourist attraction and built a commercial street?"

"That's right! In your words in the present world, it is 'cultural stage, economic singing', creating characteristic industries, and promoting economic development!" Qu Yuan shouted the slogan in style, his vicissitudes of life wiped his chin full of scum, and his eyes hidden in the messy hair were full of essence: "Speaking of which, you people in this world really have a set! Not bad! Not bad! The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and one generation is stronger than the next!"

I felt that my brain was no longer enough, and my illusions about the holy land of the different races in my heart had been shattered into slag, and I was more desperate for this world of money......

It's really a world that is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient!

"Come on, come on, come and try the special snacks of our koi people!

Qu Yuan waved happily and beckoned us to walk to the stall next to us. When the owner of the stall saw Qu Yuan, he greeted him with a smile, feeling very familiar with him.

"What's on for you?" asked Ellie.

"Pan-fried yellow croaker, charcoal-grilled saury, octopus meatballs, takoyaki, steamed fish intestines, fried fish balls, braised fish balls, dashi fish balls......" The stall owner smiled and quoted a long list of dish names.

Me: "......" why are they all fish?

It turns out that Xiao Yu's love for fish balls is all influenced by you! Aren't you a koi clan? Is it really good to eat your own kind blatantly like this?

Doesn't your conscience hurt?

Obviously, they don't have a conscience at all. In the short time I was complaining, the stall owner quickly sold several servings of fish croquettes and takoyaki.

"Classmate Li, this is quite delicious, do you want to try it?" asked the little fairy Yunmi, holding a bowl of fried fish balls.

I was already dying: "No, thank you." Now I just want to ...... quietly."

After buying snacks, Qu Yuan enthusiastically led us to the next stall. At this time, a leper cat in boots quietly rubbed up from behind: "Little brother, how boring is eating at these stalls? I know that there is a shop with a complete range of bear's paw and deer antler velvets, and a one-stop service for bathing and sauna?...... Oops!"

The leper cat was in the middle of a sales pitch when he was kicked in the back and rolled to the side like a ball.

Qu Yuan's face was full of iron, and he glared at it fiercely: "You leper cat, you're here to trick people again! Look at how I teach you a lesson this time!"

The leper cat finally got up from the ground, and scolded while patting the dust: "You old man, you are really hateful! Don't you just rely on being the street director? You still want to beat me? You ghost with no magic power, I see how you beat me!"

Qu Yuan sneered: "I don't have mana, but that doesn't mean I can't beat you!"

As soon as the words fell, two muscular men with a height of two meters quickly rushed out, beat the leper cat fat, and threw it into the sky. The figure of the leper cat became smaller and smaller, with a series of screams, and finally turned into a little flash of light in the sky, and disappeared.

The tourists and bosses on the commercial street applauded and cheered, and the two strong men immediately blushed, covered their faces shyly, and quickly disappeared.

At this time, Xiao Yu also came back from the Great Elder: "Great! I thought I wouldn't be able to catch up. ”

"Do you want to eat fried fish balls?" the little fairy Yunmi handed over the fried fish balls that had not been sold just now.

"Thank you! Yunmi, you are so good!" Xiao Yu happily took the fish balls, holding Yunmi's little fairy's arm sweetly and delicately.

"Are you here this time, are there any activities?" Qu Yuan asked curiously.

"Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and we are specially here to make zongzi to celebrate. "I opened the plastic bag in my hand and showed him the rice dumpling leaves, glutinous rice and various materials inside.

"Dragon Boat Festival...... what is that?"

I will introduce the origin and various customs of the Dragon Boat Festival to Qu Yuan one by one.

To be honest, the feeling is really subtle. To introduce Qu Yuan to the Dragon Boat Festival to commemorate Qu Yuan, I may be the first person in the ages.

But fortunately, Qu Yuan didn't mind at all, and was faintly even a little excited: "I see, after I threw myself into the river, my soul drifted to the settlement of the koi tribe, and I have stayed here for more than 2,000 years, and I have never gone out, but I didn't expect such an interesting custom to develop in this world." Yes, yes, it's fun......"

Qu Yuan's eyes flashed a few fine lights one after another, and he beckoned a strong man next to him to come over and whispered a few words.

For some reason, I had a very bad premonition from the bottom of my heart.

Sure enough, I saw that the strong man climbed up the statue of the red coral carp, which was said to be very sacred and very important, and shouted loudly with a loudspeaker: "Attention tourists! Attention tourists! In order to commemorate the 2,300th anniversary of the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan's throwing into the river, the first Zongzi Contest was held in the Holy Land Square of the Koi Nationality! All participants can get a beautiful gift! The first place in the contest can get a mysterious prize!"

"Visitors can buy glutinous rice and zongzi leaves at the booth recommended by the conference group. The contest will start in half an hour. Everyone is welcome to participate!

At some point, Qu Yuan had already set up a small stall next to the red coral statue and put pots of glutinous rice and dumpling leaves on the table - just waiting for tourists to pay for it!

Visitors cheered and applauded.

The first zongzi competition of the koi tribe kicked off!
