Chapter 198 [Baptism Specifications for Tiger Baby]

The big war is about to break out, and there is nothing to be soft about!

Some are only one word......

Kill!

Ma Sanbao's face sank like water, and his eyes were like fire, piercing through the distance, looking at the Turkic army like a tide at the bottom of the mountain.

There are more than 10,000 people, boundless, and the dust covers the sky and the sun, as if even the heavens and the earth are about to be overwhelmed by the momentum of the Turks.

But Gu Jiajun's three thousand iron armor was not taken away by the momentum.

On the contrary, there was a wave of excitement on everyone's faces.

"General, kill?"

"General, kill or not?"

"General......

The soldiers' voices were filled with fanatical tremors.

But Ma Sanbao never gave a military order, he just held his iron lance tightly with both hands, his body was straight, not moving like a mountain, like a sculpture, standing in the mountains and forests.

Without his orders, the three thousand ironclad could only continue to hide, and many warriors' eyes flashed with longing, but they could only watch the Turks continue to pass through their lines.

This is half an hour.

At least seventy or eighty thousand cavalry roared by.

There were seventy or eighty thousand cavalry, and they were Turkic cavalry......

A hint of caution flashed in the hearts of the three thousand iron armors, but no fears or fears were born.

What if there are 70,000 or 80,000 cavalry? Their Gu family's iron cavalry still dares to rush up and kill, even if they only have 3,000 people, but they are the most fierce iron cavalry in the world, what about 70,000 or 80,000 people, we will launch a ruthless attack to kill you in the same way.

It's just that I don't know why, General Ma Sanbao never gave the order to charge.

Since there was no order, they had to keep waiting.

Until, all the cavalry of the Turks roared by......

The cavalry of this era was extremely fast, half an hour was enough to run for thirty or forty miles, as if in the blink of an eye, seventy or eighty thousand Turks had disappeared on the horizon.

And at this time, there was suddenly dust in the rear again.

"It's coming!"

Ma Sanbao finally spoke slowly, with a hint of excitement in his tone.

The soldiers were slightly surprised, and couldn't help but look down the mountain forest, and suddenly all of them were shocked in their hearts, and great ecstasy appeared on their faces.

As far as the eye could see, there were countless Turkic armies, which also numbered seventy or eighty thousand, but they were not the kind of cavalry that had rushed before.

Rather, it is an auxiliary.

It was a Turkic auxiliary with a bullock.

This auxiliary army is so huge, so big that it is like a giant dragon winding along, standing on the top of the mountains and forests and looking at it from afar, I see that this team extends out for five or six miles, and it cannot look at each other from the end to the end, and it is full of rhinos.

"Whew!"

Ma Sanbao exhaled a breath of hot air, slowly raised his cold iron lance, and suddenly his face was hideous, and he let out a cruel smile like a night owl, and said: "Today, the little master is baptized by the full moon, and I want to give the little master a heavy gift......

He paused slightly, turned his head to look at the three thousand iron armor, and said in a deep voice: "Three thousand iron armor, listen to the order." ”

Bang!

The knights instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

A great killing intent permeated the sky.

Ma Sanbao's eyes were clear, and he suddenly let out a loud shout, and roared: "For decades, the Central Plains has suffered from the Turks, and every time autumn comes, there are Turks who go south to plunder, they rob us of our wealth, they kill our relatives, they regard the Central Plains as their granary, and when they want to eat grain, they bring the bullock over, just like transportation, and they are proud and don't care, we can only endure this kind of indifference before, because our Han family is weak and can't beat them......"

"We survived, our eyes were full of tears, we listened to the cries of the people, and we witnessed our relatives being tortured and killed by them."

"But today, we're no longer trying to survive."

"They are coming to rob the wealth again, and they still have the Qianniu auxiliaries with them, and they think that the Central Plains is still their granary, and they can transport the grain back casually. Where did all that food come from? They robbed it after they killed the people of the Han family. ”

"If they can rob, we can rob, and today, we want them to know that those who plunder people's wealth will be killed one day......"

"Brothers!"

"Raise our roar, raise our butcher's knives, today we will make the strongest noise, so that everyone in the world knows one thing......"

"This place, from now on, the surname Gu!"

"Kill!"

Three thousand iron armors, like a tiger out of a cage, like a torrent of steel, instantly rushed down the ambushed mountains and forests.

There is no mercy to each other's enemies.

Yes, just a kill.

The Gu family's iron cavalry is too fierce, and it can be regarded as the fiercest cavalry in this era.

If there were tanks in ancient times, each of these 3,000 ironclad cavalry could be called a tank. All the cavalry were wearing thick iron armor, and even the war horses were covered with a thick layer of armor, and no flesh and blood could stop the whole army from charging.

The huge butcher's knife was raised......

Rapid horseshoe impact......

With a flash of cold knife light, a human head flew up.

It was indeed a massacre.

At the peak of these three thousand iron armors, Ma Sanbao turned into a powerful ghost who harvested human lives, and every time he swung out of the iron lance, two or three Turks flew out upside down.

But there was one more fierce than him.

It was a madness of killing people like mowing grass.

But seeing that Li Yuanji rode alone, as if he had returned from the Nine Shadows to kill the gods, he also used an iron lance, and there was no living cow in the place where he passed......

This guy really deserves to be a battlefield maniac, and once he kills sex, there is no way for any creature to live.

But as long as he can breathe, all those who stand in front of him will die.

The three thousand iron armor has only one purpose today, that is, the tens of thousands of bullocks symbolizing wealth in front of them, and as for the seventy or eighty thousand Turkic auxiliaries that came with them, they were just a stumbling block to prevent them from collecting the bullocks.

Since it's a stumbling block, just move away.

It's just that the way to move away is a bit inhumane.

They want to give a generous gift to the little master......

……

The iron pot was steaming, and the water was boiling and boiling.

The wormwood that grows best in autumn is cut off by the eldest blind man in the village, and then the most vigorous old leaves are selected, picked and thrown into the iron pot.

While the hot water is boiling, the aroma of wormwood is gradually boiled.

Xiaoqing was holding an antique copper basin, Xiaorou was holding a soft cloth as white as snow, and the two women stood together and stood solemnly next to the iron pot.

Li Jiancheng's wife, Zheng Guanyin, is the former crown princess, and at this time she is holding a golden spoon in her hand.

Li Shimin's wife, Changsun Shi, is the current crown princess, but at this time she can only hold a silver spoon in her hand.

The two daughters are the aunts and uncles of the baby tiger, and they are responsible for serving the wormwood soup from the iron pot today.

Since ancient times, uncles are like fathers, and uncles are really like mothers, so the biggest pampering of every child's full moon baptism is the love grass soup from the aunt, which symbolizes the protection from the mother's mother's family, which can make the child grow up more healthily.

Under the gaze of countless people, Zheng Guanyin and the eldest grandson took the first pot of wormwood soup.

Then, Xiaoqing Xiaorou walked into the house with a copper basin and a soft cloth.

According to the ancient rites of the Han family, the baby's full moon baptism should have three washes. [Note: This is not a feudal superstition, but the traditional culture of the Han family]

The first wash, washing away the filth, is done by the father to wash away the smell of the underworld brought by the birth of the child.

Gu Tianya's movements were very gentle, and he took a soft cloth dipped in warm water and wiped it gently. After wiping it, he leaned down, kissed his son, and smiled: "Little thing, congratulations on surviving the full moon tribulation." ”

This sentence is said with a sincere joy.

Even in the era of incomparably developed generations in later generations, the full moon of children is also a great calamity, and there are often accidents if they are not careful, so the full moon of children can pass the first calamity after being born.

After the first wash, it is the second wash.

In the courtyard outside the house, it was densely packed with people, and the people who could stand in the courtyard to watch the ceremony must at least be the wives of the prince and the marquis, but seeing many noble ladies with smiles on their faces, they couldn't help but say some words of blessing, and between the blessings, the two aunts of the tiger baby took a second pot of wormwood soup.

The second wash, to eliminate disasters and pray for blessings.

This baptism is a mother's baptism, and it needs to be performed by Zhao Ning himself, but not only Zhao Ning, but all blessed people who have been mothers can participate.

So under the envy of countless people, several Tang ladies walked into the seemingly ordinary cottage in front of them.

Being able to baptize the Gu family's tiger baby represents a kind of status and strength in itself.

Lee Hyo-gong's wife......

Fang Xuanling's wife......

Mrs. Cheng......

Mrs. Qin......

More than a dozen noble ladies stood by the bed, all looking at the baby with loving faces, offering blessings together, with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "We are all mothers, since ancient times, mothers are strong, and now with the fierceness of motherhood, warn the ghosts and gods, the tiger baby of the Gu family, should be sheltered by our maternal love, anyone who dares to covet the baby, we will devour its flesh......"

This is an oath and threat from motherhood, symbolizing the declaration of war and intimidation on certain levels, and the concept of the ancients is different from that of modern people, and even the prayer is full of ruthlessness...... The general meaning is that we mothers are not begging for the blessings of the ghosts and gods, but threatening you beings to get out, and after you get away, our children will naturally be healthy.

Women are mothers and dare to fight for their lives with ghosts and gods.

In the cognition of the ancients, competing with ghosts and gods is to lose life, so these noble ladies can baptize the tiger baby, which is actually a great gift. [Note: Although this is superstition from a modern point of view, it does not prevent us from respecting the ideas of the ancients.] 】

Zhao Ning was obviously very moved, and bowed to a few noble ladies, and said solemnly: "Thank you sisters-in-law for blessing the child." ”

Everyone hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Whatever the princess says, we are all good friends." Although the baby tiger is your son, the baby is our junior. If we can pray for our children's disasters, we won't care about whether we live or not. ”

The second wash is complete.

Xiaoqing Xiaorou once again took the copper basin out of the house and asked the two princesses to take the third pot of wormwood soup.

This is followed by the third baptism, wishing the child to grow up and become a talent.

There were dozens of noble ladies in the courtyard, all of whom looked at an old man with envy, that was the world-famous Wen Zhongzi, who claimed to be a figure who chased the sages of the Confucian family, this was almost a mortal existence of Wenqu Xing, and he never imagined that he would personally baptize the tiger baby of the Gu family.

To be baptized by this old man, the tiger baby was immediately covered with the identity of a Confucian son, no matter how naughty and mischievous, and even when he grows up, he will not learn or learn, but as long as the world mentions the tiger baby, he must give a thumbs up and praise, and solemnly say: "That is a child who can read." ”

Therefore, this third baptism is also called the blessing of the elderly. The elders here do not refer to the elderly, but to the people who are profound in learning and penetrate the world, implying that the baby has grown up and become a talent, revealing the essence of the traditional Han culture.

After the three baptisms, the liturgy is not over.

I saw two slightly elderly ladies walk into the house, and they lit an oil lamp with a loving face, and then handed the oil lamp to Gu Tianya's mother.

Gu Shi held the oil lamp, and symbolically illuminated a few circles above the forehead of the tiger baby, and his eyes showed incomparable pampering, and he blessed with soft and loving kindness: "The forehead is like a red light, the life star is loud, this day finally took off the yin body, when you live in the yang world for a hundred years, grandma's good baby, welcome you to be reborn in our door." ”

The two elderly ladies stood aside and shouted outside at the same time, "Please come into the house and cut off the hair from the child." ”

This is the most important part of both ancient and modern times.

Whether in ancient times or in later generations, when the child is full of the moon, the uncle must pick up scissors and cut off the fetal hair, because the fetal hair is born, which means that there is still a connection with the other world, so the mother's brother or brother has to cut off this connection with the strength of the man's blood.

Of course, it is certainly not really scissors to cut off the child's hair, but just a symbolic shake and a little haircut. [This description, presumably readers who have been parents have experienced ^-^]

"Invite Uncle Tiger Baby into the house......"

The two noblewomen shouted softly again.

In the courtyard, Li Jiancheng suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed Li Shimin, and said with a smile: "Second child, you go." ”

Li Shimin was obviously stunned, and said in amazement: "Big brother, you are the uncle of the tiger baby." ”

The implication is self-evident, he is not qualified to do this etiquette as the second child.

Li Jiancheng smiled and said: "I am already a 'dead man', it is a little unlucky to cut the child's hair, and you are the new prince, with the luck of the whole country, panicking and lucky, ghosts and gods, you go to cut the tiger baby's hair, in order to bring him the greatest protection......"

Li Shimin was stunned again, still a little reluctant, and said, "Big brother, I think you are qualified." As long as you live for one day, I, Li Shimin, can only be the second in the family. ”

Li Jiancheng got up helplessly, sighed and said: "My cough is not good yet, entering the house may affect the baby, let's be an uncle, all for the child." ”

Li Shimin came to his senses at this time, and suddenly said with a solemn face: "Then I'll go in, don't go in." Although Gu Tianya said that you are already fine, our brother should be careful, the tiger baby is too small, but don't pass the cough to him. ”

"That's exactly what worries my brother!" Li Jiancheng also looked solemn.

Li Shimin nodded slowly, raised his feet and walked into the room.

The people who watched the ceremony all over the courtyard, the eyes of dozens of noble ladies all flashed with envy, and some people subconsciously spoke, and said with deep meaning: "The life of Gu Jiahu's baby is really good, and the hair in the womb will be cut off by an emperor......"

Although Li Shimin is not yet the emperor, everyone knows that he is about to ascend the throne.

The emperor of a country, with the luck of a country, between the panic and the great luck, the heavens, the earth, the ghosts and the gods have to be changed, and the tiger baby enjoys such blessings, I am afraid that there are few children in the whole world who can compare.

This baptism specification is unique in the world.

Next, it's time for gift-giving.

This is the most striking moment, because no one knows how many rare treasures the baby tiger will receive today......

……

…… Today it's still a two-in-one chapter.
