The festival lasted until midnight, and the villagers returned home one after another, but the tables, chairs, bonfires, wine, meals, etc. left in the square were still in place. Look at 1 gross 2 lines 3 Chinese net
Seeing Zhang Xiaolong's doubts, Guan Yun explained: "The ones left behind are to pay tribute to the souls of the dead who died in the sea, and it is said that they will come to enjoy these things in the middle of the night, and they will also bless the next day to worship the sea god smoothly." ”
"There are so many exquisiteness?" Zhang Xiaolong didn't know if the underworld really existed, if it existed, no one had ever been there, if it didn't exist, how would those undead explain it, but since it was the rule of the village, then he would follow the customs.
"Hahaha, let's go, when it's over, you can't leave anyone outside. Guan Yun smiled and hurriedly urged Zhang Xiaolong.
Guan Yun's house is still very large, and a guest room has been specially prepared, although the layout is simple, it is also clean, Zhang Xiaolong just didn't understand why Guan Yun let him have to sleep until three o'clock the next day before he could get up.
However, Zhang Xiaolong also drank a lot of wine, and fell asleep a little groggy, and the night in Qiyun Village was very quiet, and occasionally a few gusts of sea breeze blew, which was difficult to stop the villagers' dreams.
When a glimmer of morning light tore through the night and a bright sun rose, no one in the village went out to work, but it was enough to reach the three poles of the sun, and many villagers gathered to the beach with all kinds of things.
When Guan Yun and the others arrived at the beach, they found dozens of fishing boats ready to go to sea, piled with sacks of herbs piled up, as well as bones, plants and other things they had accumulated over the past year to feed the fish.
Zhang Xiaolong still couldn't help but ask again: "I thought you had to sleep lazily to let me get up at three o'clock in the morning, but now it seems that this is another custom." See 1 Mao 2 Line 3 Chinese Network"
"Hahaha, you learn quite quickly, that's right, it's a custom, last night's party was in the middle of the night, so the purpose of setting off after three poles in the sun is to nourish the spirit, and it is also to let the sun disperse the gathered yin qi, and this time is also the warmest period of time, so there will be such an unwritten rule. ”
Guan Yun didn't expect Zhang Xiaolong to learn quite quickly, and he learned the essence of these customs in Qiyun Village so quickly.
There are hundreds of people on the beach who are busy here, and under the command of Guan Lei, everything is ready, and dozens of fishing boats have pushed into the sea, waiting for these fishermen.
Guan Lei took out the prepared live rooster, killed it quickly, took a bowl of rooster blood, drew a strange symbol with chicken blood on each boat, and then threw the remaining chicken blood in the bowl into the sea, causing a splash.
At the same time, he activated the aura and shouted in a deep voice: "Sacrifice to the sea god, go to sea!!"
"Needless to say, this chicken blood symbol should also be a custom, and it is also a custom to bless the peace of the sea. Zhang Xiaolong has been watching everything that Guan Lei is doing, and the surrounding villagers are standing very solemnly on the side.
"How do you know, yes, such a symbol is said to bless the ship that goes out to sea to return safely from the wind and waves. Guan Yun nodded, in previous years, the village chief carried out this work.
"Hahaha, this chicken blood symbol is an ancient inscription! And it is an inscription that plays a role in fixing the wind, using chicken blood as a medium, infused with spiritual power, it will play a role in preventing wind and waves. Of course, Zhang Xiaolong didn't know about this custom, but he knew the inscription painted with chicken blood, and he could clearly feel that Guan Lei had also injected spiritual power into it.
"Inscription? I only know that this is a custom passed down from my ancestors, but I don't know if this is still an inscription. Zhang Xiaolong's understanding of the inscription, Guan Yun is very convinced, it is impossible to admit mistakes, and the origin of the inscription, Guan Yun understands it, it is clearly from the magic weapon rubbing, but I don't know that this custom passed down from ancient times is actually related to the strange inscription.
"In this way, the history of this inscription is really long, and the symbols handed down from the village are all inscriptions. Although Zhang Xiaolong knew the inscription, he didn't know much about the origin of the inscription, and the human race did not have any record of the origin of the inscription.
"As you say, there are a lot of these strange symbols in our village, and they are probably also inscriptions. ”
Mentioning the inscription, Guan Yun suddenly remembered that there are these strange symbols in many places in the village, and there are various different functions, Guan Yun also asked his father about the origin of these symbols, and Guan Lei couldn't tell clearly, only that it had been passed down since ancient times.
"Thinking about it this way, where did the inscription come from?" Even Long Yuan and Zhang Xiaolong, who knew the inscription best, didn't know where it came from, they only knew that it was rubbed from the magic weapon, and how those magic weapons and the inscriptions on it came from still had no conclusion.
Just as Guan Yun was wondering about this inscription, Guan Lei's voice came: "Get on the boat!!"
"Eh, I don't want to, hurry up and get on the boat, go early and come back early. Seeing that the villagers got on the boat one after another, Guan Yun didn't dare to delay, and took Zhou Liang and Zhang Xiaolong to one of the fishing boats.
He was not on the same fishing boat with Guan Lei, because Guan Lei's boat was the main ship, and the surrounding boats needed to scatter around the main boat to throw herbs, so no one else on the main boat could stand on the main boat except for the villagers and Guan Lei who were holding the boat.
This was done to prevent people from being present and obstructing people on the surrounding ships from reading the official Lei's orders, and secondly, to make room for the main ship to put up a drum for transmitting information.
The boat that the three of Guan Yun sat on was loaded with some big bones, and it had been crushed into broken bone foam, which was convenient for feeding, and the three of them sat on the bow of the boat, and stretched their feet into the water, as the boat slid in the cold water, that feeling was a comfort that Zhang Xiaolong had never experienced.
Dozens of ships followed Guan Lei's main ship to the shore slowly, heading into the distance, today is also a rare sunny day, there is no trace of sea breeze, standing on the boat basking in the sun, warm ocean is very comfortable.
About half an hour later, there was a very rhythmic drum sound from Guan Lei's main boat, and then Zhang Xiaolong saw that the main boat was no longer advancing, and dozens of other fishing boats began to disperse around the main boat, surrounding the main boat in the middle like a star arching moon.
The ship they were on was in the middle, and the vessel containing the herbs that attracted the fish was on the outermost side, so that the herbs could float at a longer distance.
Under the command of the drum of the main ship, dozens of ships sailed to their positions in a very orderly manner and began to put medicinal herbs, Guan Yun and their favorite is this link, after the herbs are dropped, about an hour or two of effect, the fish in the distance begin to move here, and part of the food they prepare is for these adult marine fish to eat.
