Tomorrow is the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, and it is also a traditional festival of the demon people - Ganba Festival. The Gamba Festival is a very important festival for the demons. In the legend of the Demon Clan, March 3 is the birthday of the ancestor of the Demon Clan, Braltar. Therefore, this festival is not only a simple traditional demon song festival, but also an important day for the demon clan to worship their ancestors and worship the ancestors of the demon world.

There is also a romantic legend about this festival.

According to legend, in ancient times, the township chief of Zhuangxiang gave birth to three beautiful daughters, the eldest daughter and the second daughter were married to the sons of large families, and only the third daughter named Limei had not yet married. She is smart, can write and sing, is kind-hearted, and often gives generously behind her family's back. When Fang was eighteen years old, although there was an endless stream of wealthy officials who pursued her, she refused them one by one, which made her parents very sad.

Later, I learned that Limei had already had a sweetheart, he was a child of a poor family in his hometown, and the villagers called him Brother Ah Qiang. Although Ah Qiang was born in poverty, he was kind-hearted and often did good deeds for the poor, no matter who had any farm work that he couldn't do, he always found time to help. Ah Qiang is also very smart, although he has not read many holy books of scriptures, but he can export chapters and write into words. In particular, singing poems can touch the scene and improvise. Although Li Mei has read more scriptures and holy books than her, she still worships him as a teacher. Ah Qiang saw that Limei was modest and studious, and always treated her as his own sister, and often discussed together.

In the second half of September of the lunar calendar this year, a singing competition was held, and Limei and Brother Ah Qiang both signed up for the competition. Listening to their duet, everyone was fascinated and lingered. As a result, both won the first gold medal. Through this competition, Li Mei has a better understanding of Ah Qiang, especially his extremely intelligent, ready-written and singing and helpful character, so she has a feeling of admiration. After everyone left, Limei deliberately stayed, confided her love to Cuong affectionately, and vowed: "If Cuong doesn't marry her, she will never marry for the rest of her life." Ah Qiang was very happy with her words, but thinking of his own background, he was embarrassed and said: "I come from a poor background, I'm afraid your parents won't agree to this family business." Limei hugged him tightly and told him, "No, as long as you come to ask for a kiss, they will agree." "Limei's pursuit of Brother Ah Qiang's blind date is known, and they all said that they are willing to donate a bride price for Ah Qiang, as long as Limei's family is gracious.

In the middle of the night, Limei jumped out of the window to find Brother Ah Qiang, and just as they poured out their hearts to each other, the township chief's family Ding broke in and forcibly arrested Limei back, Limei cried silently, praying for her parents to fulfill her marriage with Ah Qiang. It is said that although Ah Qiang's family is poor, with his wisdom and hard-working hands, he will definitely have a good life. But her stubborn parents still didn't agree to her pleas. The infatuated Limei saw that she couldn't marry Ah Qiang, so she was disheartened and had the idea of suicide. After his parents fell asleep, he left a suicide note and committed suicide by hanging himself. The maid outside the door woke up in a haze, heard that there was something abnormal in the boudoir, opened the door and looked, she was simply stunned, Limei had already looked for a short time. She desperately called for help, and suddenly, the township chief's family began to cry, they looked at the suicide note, regretting that they should not interfere with their daughter's freedom of marriage, the villagers heard the cry, and knew that Limei died in anger in order to resist her parents' interference with the freedom of marriage, and they were deeply sympathetic to her, and extremely indignant to the couple.

Besides, Ah Qiang couldn't get married from the township chief's house, and when he got home, he didn't think about tea and dinner, and fell on the bed. When the bad news of Limei's martyrdom came, it was undoubtedly a major spiritual blow to Ah Qiang, and his brain was buzzing, thinking that he couldn't get married in life, and he had to get married in the underworld when he died. Thinking of this, he got up and walked out of the house, took three steps and did two steps, walked to the township chief's house, and pounced on Limei's body with a "wow" sound, saying that it was too late, it was fast, he got up violently and hit the beam and pillar, and he was martyred. This day is the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, and the villagers saw that the good son Lang and the good girl Lang of Zhuangxiang were both martyred, and they were all grief-stricken, choked and cried. Some also sang the praises of their loyal and unyielding love with mountain songs, and sang them for three days and three nights, and only after three days did they ceremoniously bury the two of them.

In order to commemorate them, every year on the third day of March, people steam five-colored glutinous rice, bring sacrifices, go up the mountain to sweep their graves, and sing at the same time, and the song is formed. Because of this legend, the Ganba Festival is also called Valentine's Day by the demons.

This Gampa festival has been passed down to this day, and there are more interesting festival customs. For example, grabbing flower cannons, playing flat poles, playing copper drums, throwing hydrangeas, singing, etc. In addition, every year there will be a three-day holiday in the Demon Realm during the Ganba Festival. At that time, the streets and towns were full of people, and it can be said that it was very lively.

As a prince, I wouldn't have too much to do on a festival like this. On the first day, we will pay homage to the ancestor Braltar, and then we will worship the ancestors and ancestors. At night, they burn incense and bathe, meditate on the Temple of Heaven, and pray for the blessings of their ancestors and demons. Eat and rest after a day and a night. On the third day, accompany Shu Luoling to parade to the magic capital. In the evening, he also attended a banquet held in the palace. I can say that it was arranged plainly.

Thinking about the previous experience of worshipping ancestors and parading the streets, my mood was not very good. At that time, I was surrounded by circles of people, my ears were filled with the sound of musical instruments hitting and chattering, and I had to meticulously complete the assigned tasks, and I was really dizzy at the end of the day. There's a good chance I'll have to go through it again tomorrow. I don't want to go!

Yao Miao saw me lying on the sofa with empty eyes, and came over and said, "Are you bored?"

"It's not. ”

"Then what are you doing? His eyes were hollow and he didn't look very energetic. ”

Ou Yi came over and answered: "I think it's because of the itinerary of the Ganba Festival. ”

Yao Miao: "You really have to work hard for the past three days, but you can rest assured that we will always be with you." ...... "Yao Miao Balabala also said a lot of safety precautions, I didn't listen to them much, now I just want to empty myself and let myself not think about these things for the time being."

After Yao Miao said a lot, she found that Lan Ka's expression did not change at all, and there was no sign of responding to herself, so she said that she should rest early and left with interest.

The next day, early in the morning, I was woken up by the maid, and then I was 'forced' to change into clothes and put on makeup specially prepared for the ancestors. Then I followed Shu Luoling like a machine, and went to the designated place and time to do the designated action.

The busy day passed like this. In the evening, I just need to meditate on the Temple of Heaven until this moment tomorrow night. For safety reasons, the four Dharma Protectors guarded me at the next step of my life, and there were also many guards around the Temple of Heaven standing guard and patrolling, and there were also secret guards watching in the dark.

It's easier for me to meditate quietly. In order to take out the leader of an organization, I spent a week lurking in the bushes around his base camp. I originally received the news that the person would definitely appear at the base camp in three days, so I only brought three days of dry food, but I didn't expect that the wait would be a week, and in the end I insisted on completing the task without moving or eating for a week, and I walked away. But the four protectors were still worried about me, so they gave me magic from time to time, and quietly supported my body with magic.

I have to say that these four people are still good to me. I thought about my transformation again, and I didn't know how I could master this magic with ease. Now I am still too weak, not only will I cause trouble to myself, but I will also affect others. I must hurry up and become stronger.

Thinking about things in my head, time passes before I know it. Now that I'm done meditating, I'm going to go back and get some sleep, and I'm going to march tomorrow.

Accompanying the parade today were also some military dignitaries. We set out from the palace gate and walked mightily through the streets. The streets have been marked in advance, and a special lane has been set aside for us to walk. They watched the street scene and talked about civil affairs, and I had to look at what novelties and things to play along the way, look at this, taste this and that, and buy what I liked. After a while, I couldn't take the things in my hand, so I had to give the old ones to the attendants first.

I bought it while playing, and before I knew it, I slowly fell behind the back of the line. The general Suichuan found that I was not with Shu Luoling, and when he turned back to look for me, he happened to see me eating five-color glutinous rice.

Sui Chuan: "Hahaha, Your Highness seems to be very interested in these things, haven't you seen them before?"

Shu Luoling: "You, leave him alone, he's a foodie, and now he sees so many delicious and fun things, it's strange that he doesn't feel tempted." ”

Suichuan: "Your Highness has been in the magic capital for 5 months, and has been busy with various things, I guess I haven't visited the magic capital well, our magic capital is delicious, fun, and good-looking, and when I have the opportunity, I can let the little girl take His Highness for a good turn." ”

"Don't bother with your daughter, I've been to the magic capital many times. If you come out as a prince today, of course you have to be close to the people, try their craftsmanship, observe their lives, and integrate into them, isn't it good to feel personal?"

Suichuan: "Yes, of course, yes!" But so many people haven't eaten or played, so you should pay attention. Otherwise, you are the only one who is observing the people's situation because of what you say, and we are all here to go through the motions.

The Great Elder said simply, "Then I don't know what His Highness felt?"

"Na, take this glutinous rice as an example, this glutinous rice tastes fragrant and delicious, and more importantly, you can eat a full sense of happiness from it, and being able to make such delicious food shows that the life of the person who makes it must be happy and beautiful. As he spoke, Lanka took another sip, as if to prove what he had just said, and his face showed a happy expression at the right time. "If you don't believe me, try it yourself. ”

Shu Luoling: "Since Xiaoka let us try, then let's try." Just walked for so long, just in time to take a break. ”

Minister: Hmph, everyone is a cultivator, what is this little path? Isn't it just to cover your son. I thought so, but I actually bought sticky rice. Who made his house the king's son?

After the episode, the group moved around again.

"Hey, Zhuo, what are they doing in front of you? ”

"I think I'm throwing hydrangeas. ”

"It's not going to be a hydrangea toss. ”

"Hmm. If you grab a hydrangea, you can marry the girl who threw the hydrangea. ”

"None of you have a girlfriend yet, so why don't you give it a try? Especially Ou Yi, who has a strange temper, you still have some hope for snatching hydrangeas, otherwise I am afraid that you will be single for the rest of your life. ”

Ou Yi looked at me with gloomy eyes: "I have someone I like." ”

Oops, I can't stand it, I can't stand it, why are you looking at me so stunned, and I'm not afraid of being thought of as gay.

"Ah Miao, do you want to try it?"

Yao Miao was also angry when she heard this, who you like, don't you feel it?" "I also have someone I like, don't you have to worry about it." ”

"You have someone you like, who is it?"

Yao Miao: "I won't tell you." Ou Yi felt that Yao Miao and he liked the same person, thinking of a woman who attracted bees and butterflies, so he glared at her fiercely.

"Why are you so stingy. What about the two of you?" I looked at Zhuo Ke and Lin Shan.

Zhuo Kun: "No, no. ”

"Do you have someone you like?"

Zhuo Ke: "No, no. I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry. ”

Lin Shan: "I'm the youngest." This was said very quickly, as if in the next second, it would be pulled to grab the hydrangea.

"What are you all nervous about? I'll just talk about it. ”

Ou Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Then please don't talk about this kind of thing casually next time." ”

Because Ou Yi confessed to me, I never wanted to face him. Now seeing his fierce appearance, I feel that it is better to stay away from him.

Everyone didn't take the initiative to speak later, and the atmosphere was a little awkward. When I was thinking about how to break the embarrassment, I suddenly heard bursts of singing on the river, although I couldn't understand what they were singing, but it was quite interesting to see them in the form of male and female duets.

"What are they singing? Why don't they understand?"

Yao Miao: "They sing in a more traditional language, which probably means to praise the beauty of love. ”

I thought of that folklore, probably something to do with this.

After listening to the song, we found a restaurant to eat. Then he went back to the palace after a circle. Next is the last part of the palace banquet.
