Chapter 133: The Shocking Spring Festival

Falkenhausen was stunned for a while, so he had to give up the idea of dissuading Liu Yun, Liu Daguan walked away in the night, at this time it was almost close to the second watch, although the night was as cold as ice, fortunately, there was still the moon shining, not far between the villa and the villa, and it was easy to walk all the way.

The next day, Liu Yun waited at home for a long time, and did not wait for the arrival of Falkenhausen, and I don't know if this guy really figured it out, anyway, he didn't go out for a day, but summoned several of his subordinates, who soon left the town of western Sichuan, probably returning to Maoxian or Chengdu.

Spring ploughing is imminent, spring ploughing is preceded by a spring festival, which is an annual traditional event in the town of western Sichuan, which is said to date back to the Han Dynasty, and is intended to pay homage to the gods of mountains, rivers and the earth in western Sichuan, hoping for a bumper harvest in the new year.

Liu Daguan is not only a native of West Sichuan Town, but also a county commissioner and Liu Xiang's Qincha, and has long been favored by the old people in the town, wanting him to serve as the first sacrifice of the spring festival, but Liu Yun has lived in the city since he was a child, and has never participated in such activities, so it is impossible to say that he is not stage frightened.

The old people in the old town are not fuel-efficient lamps, and in the end they still did the work of Liu Ebei, and then the old man Liu personally did the work for Liu Yun, so that this guy reluctantly agreed, but since he agreed, he must do a good job, which is the motto of Liu Daguan's life.

At the same time, Liu Yun is also extremely concerned about the agricultural problems in the county, with the development of steel mills and arsenals, the population of western Sichuan County will become more and more, and in time, it can develop into an ordnance industrial complex, and then evolve into the Ruhr area of China, the population may surge to 200,000, and once the grain cannot keep up, it will cost people's lives, so it is better to prepare early.

Therefore, in a short period of time, or before the completion of the spring festival and spring ploughing, Liu Yun could not take care of Falkenhausen at all, and the German general also needed time to contact Berlin, and he would not leave for the time being, so during his stay in West Sichuan Town, he was accompanied by Pang Taishi and Ding Erbao throughout the whole process.

On the second day of the second month of the second month of the summer calendar, the sting, also known as the dragon raising its head, is the time of the spring festival every year, the residents of the whole town gather on the shore of Heishui Lake, wearing festive costumes, singing and dancing around a pile of bonfires, 1935 is the year of the pig in Yihai, so the time of the spring festival is chosen in the time.

Liu Yun said that it was the first sacrifice, that is, wearing the clothes of the celebration, standing stupidly in the first row, according to the cumbersome etiquette of the sacrifice, kneeling with his head and worshipping the incense, this guy did not have any awe, or pious faith, for these activities, it was extremely boring.

Falkenhausen was under the leadership of Pang Xuezhong, watching Liu Daguan not far away, seeing that this guy was bored with the spring festival, but he had to pretend to be very solemn, which made Pang Taishi laugh so much that his stomach hurt, but the Germans seemed to like this kind of folk activities very much, on the contrary, they seemed to be very envious of Liu Yun, and his heart was a little itchy, and he couldn't wait for him to stand in it.

"The bells and drums are ringing in unison, and the cauldron rings in unison", marking the official start of the spring festival, after the priests sing in unison, it is the residents who collectively worship the gods, and after a busy time, it is the first procedure of the spring festival, to the gods of heaven and earth and the ancestors of China, read the sacrifice of the spring festival.

Reading out the sacrificial text is Liu Yun's own job, to the effect that after a year of recuperation, the residents of western Sichuan have achieved a happy harvest under the protection of the gods of heaven and earth, the grain has been piled up in the warehouse, the cattle and sheep have filled the earth, reading and reading, even Liu Daguan himself is drunk.

Fortunately, a sacrificial text is not long, only about 600 words, because it is a four-character and one-sentence classical Chinese, and the pronunciation is slightly different from now, so it is naturally very difficult to read, and even occasionally out of tune, which causes Liu Yun to read very slowly, and the sweat on his back does not want to flow money.

Finally finished reading the sacrificial text, Liu Yun had a feeling of prostration, and kept thanking God in his heart, thanking the Sanqing Patriarch, and thanking the Jade Emperor, but unfortunately the matter was not over, after the sacrificial text was burned, it was the residents of the town who took out the seeds that would be planted, such as corn, barley, wheat, potatoes and sweet potatoes, and piled them on the altar, asking the priests to bless them.

It is said that it is an altar, but it is actually a flat rammed earth platform, about thirty centimeters high, three meters square, the seeds that are about to be sown are piled up like a hill, Liu Yun happens to be the first sacrifice, and he needs to touch each seed personally, simple, boring, boring, and it lasts for more than an hour, which is simply a challenge for some people with ADHD.

Seriously, Liu Yun is still very disgusted with this kind of witchcraft is not like witchcraft, and science is not like scientific sacrificial activities, but everyone thinks that this is useful, so as their leader, they must also respect their traditions and choices, with the blessing of one grain after another, they gradually get used to it, their hearts are calm, and their actions are becoming more and more serious.

When he was about to get to the last few seeds, Liu Yun suddenly found that all the blessed seeds seemed to have really become different, and I don't know if it was an illusion, the unblessed seeds were dim and gray, and the blessed seeds became shiny and full of vitality.

Liu Yun immediately carefully observed the seeds in his hands, it seemed that there had really changed, he was now a monk in the Qi refining stage, once he concentrated his mind, even if an ant was crawling behind him, he would be accurately caught in the trajectory, not to mention the seeds in front of him.

As the saying goes, "living is easy to be angry, food is easy to eat", Liu Daguan is now a real big man, he can dominate the life and death of tens of thousands of people in western Sichuan County, even if there is something in his heart, he is still calm as water on the surface, and he is still unhurried, and he will complete the activities of blessing seeds one by one.

After blessing the seeds, the priests themselves ploughed and cultivated one acre of land on the spot, which not only demonstrated how to cultivate, but also had an inspiring implication that farming was a sacred thing and that cultivation should be treated with caution and devotion as if it were a god.

Even if Liu Yun had planned that in the near future, the county would implement mechanized farming and harvesting, but the current steel mills and machinery factories have not really operated, so that tractors, cultivators, seeders and harvesters are still a kind of assumption on paper.

Therefore, Liu Yun had to do a good job of the demonstration work in front of him, pulling the ploughing ox in one hand and holding the iron plough in the other, under the skillful leadership of other old priests, the iron plough had to go one foot deep into the ground, and the covering soil that was ploughed up should be seven inches wide, and in less than 30 minutes, an acre of farmland was deeply cultivated.

After plowing the land, there are two young and beautiful women, holding the blessed seeds, mixed with the ashes of the cooled bonfire, one by one into the demonstration field, one by one is Pang Yuyan, because of the outstanding performance during the disaster relief, to receive such an honor, also has the meaning of automatically becoming an official resident of Sichuan West Town, this transcendent treatment, so that many people who are keen on immigration.

Immediately after sowing, more than a dozen young men picked buckets of unmelted snowflakes from the snow-capped mountains far away, poured them on the seeds one by one with wooden melon scoops, and under the guidance of the priests, and then covered the seeds with soil, and the sacrifice was officially over.

Of course, the whole spring festival lasted all morning, and the priests also worked hard, according to the rules, there was a lunch banquet, which was usually presided over by the officials of the county, Liu Yun was really afraid, and hurriedly said that he was a little dizzy, and handed over the important task to the county magistrate Zhang.

Liu Yun said that he was unwell and wanted to go home to recuperate, but in fact, he carried some seeds, secretly went around, and went to the Xingling Courtyard to see the two senior sisters.

It is no accident that such an exception is made, because after scanning the seeds, Zhi Brain found that there is indeed a mysterious power in the blessed seeds, and this power comes from Liu Yun himself, and he himself can't understand it, so he went to the Xingling Academy and asked the two senior sisters for advice.

Yuan Qi'er and the eldest grandson Mingyue, in the past few months, have indeed rarely left the courtyard, and the gate of the courtyard is usually closed, so without the permission of these two fairies, ordinary residents can't enter, and the secret technique is on the stone tablet outside the door, which is suitable for the disciples outside the door to cultivate.

In fact, Liu Yun also inquired with the two senior sisters why they didn't leave in the other courtyard, and they only laughed and didn't say anything, so they had to secretly guess that it might be because the feng shui of Heishui Lake was good, and they were reluctant.

The two senior sisters are both among the best masters, and because they are masters, the true qi in the body and its operation have already formed a fixed pattern, and it is very, very difficult to completely transform into the breath of the Hidden Leaf Master, or the Golden Wheel Dharma King, and it is not an overnight thing at all.

The reason why these two masters traveled around was because their original cultivation methods had touched the limit of a certain cultivation, and relying on their own strength and original cultivation methods, they could not break through the original shackles at all, so they had to absorb the strengths of all families and hope to make progress.

If it weren't for the Hidden Leaf Master and the Golden Wheel Dharma King, who had not broken through to the realm of returning to the void so far, these two fairies would even want to abolish all the true qi in their bodies and re-cultivate the empowerment of the true qi.

In the past few months, Liu Yun has been frequently busy with official duties, and he can only cultivate in his free time, let alone cultivate on time according to the meridian hour, let alone collect the first wisp of purple qi when the sun rises.

As for Yuan Qi'er and Fairy Mingyue, their faces have obviously improved a lot these days, Liu Yun doesn't have to guess, he also knows that the two senior sisters are mostly slightly successful in cultivation, which is also the reason why the first thing that comes to mind when he finds out that the seed is abnormal, and the wisdom brain can't answer it.

When Liu Cheng explained his intentions, the eldest grandson Mingyue and Yuan Qi'er were also very curious, each holding the seeds of blessing and unblessing, and looked at it for a while, but they didn't see a reason, so they closed their eyes and used the way of spiritual inward vision to check, and immediately saw the clue.

Among the blessed seeds, there is a faint abnormal aura, even so thin that it is almost invisible, if it is not for the blessing and unblessed seeds, if they are placed in front of the comparison, even the two masters will not be aware of it, but this kind of breath is familiar to everyone.

The three of them looked at each other for a while, they didn't think about where they had seen it, and when they were about to give up, Fairy Mingyue was suddenly stunned, and suddenly realized, pulled Yuan Qi'er, pointed at Liu Yun, and said with a smile, "Actually, it is a mixture of two breaths in the body of the junior brother."
