There were many people stopping in front of the ancestral hall square, and everyone was chattering and discussing something, and they seemed to be extremely excited. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"My lord, what are they doing?" Lu Jitong asked puzzled.

Li Canghai saw that everyone looked up at it, so he also looked up.

Fufeng Town is built on the mountain, and behind the ancestral hall is a cliff.

The cliff was like an axe cutting a knife, standing behind the ancestral hall, looking extremely steep.

Li Canghai had excellent eyesight, he looked in the direction everyone was looking, and found that there were faint flashing lights on the cliff.

Li Canghai pointed to the cliff with his chin and said, "Ji Tong, do you see that on the cliff, there is a person standing?" ”

Lu Jitong hurriedly looked up, the eyesight of people who practiced martial arts was much better than that of ordinary people, and he saw a figure standing faintly on the cliff at a glance.

"My lord, that's really a person. But why would anyone stand on a cliff? Could it be that he is going to kill himself? Lu Jitong said in surprise.

Li Canghai frowned slightly, and he was also puzzled in his heart.

If someone wants to jump off the cliff, why are these people so excited?

Could it be that the folk customs here are not as simple as what I see?

After thinking for a while, Li Canghai decided that he still wanted the townspeople to ask.

Coincidentally, there was an old man standing next to him, and Li Canghai hugged his fists and said, "Old man, dare to ask you what you are doing?" ”

The old man saw that Li Canghai was as full of grace as jade, and he was another talent, so he hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Listening to the son's accent, it seems that he came from other places, right?" ”

Li Canghai nodded: "Xiao Ke is a merchant, passing through Guibaodi, I heard that the Guizhen Lamp Market is very lively, so I can stay and join in the fun." Just now, Xiao Ke came all the way from the inn and found that it was very lively, so he came over to make up. I saw that you were looking at the figure on the cliff, as if you were waiting for something, and I took the liberty of asking the old man out of curiosity, and forgive me for the rudeness. ”

"Childe's words are serious, in fact, we, the townspeople, are waiting for the 'Dragon God' to jump off the cliff." The old man said.

"'Dragon God' jumping off a cliff?" Li Canghai was a little puzzled.

"The cliff that Childe saw was called 'Flying Dragon Cliff', and the person standing on the edge of the cliff was the 'Dragon God' in our town. Every year on the seventh day of the first lunar month, the dragon god will jump off the cliff and pray for good weather in this way. The old man said.

When Lu Jitong heard this, he was immediately surprised, and said in disbelief: "That cliff is so high, if you jump down, won't you be crushed?" Is it rare to pray for good weather and disregard the lives of others? ”

The old man smiled and said, "This son is too worried. It's just a ritual, and it's not going to kill anyone. ”

"That cliff is fifty or sixty zhang high, and jumping from such a high place is not broken?" Lu Jitong's voice was solemn, he paused, looked up at the cliff, and said to Li Canghai: "Childe, you wait here, I'll stop the person who jumped off the cliff!" ”

When the old man heard this, he burst out laughing.

"Why is my husband laughing?" Lu Jitong asked.

"Don't panic, and listen to the old man. This 'flying dragon in the sky' ceremony has been held in the town for many years, and there have been no casualties. What's more, the 'Dragon God' is an experienced person, so there will be no accidents. The old man stroked his beard and said.

"Old man, since you are praying for good weather and good weather, why don't you choose to do it during the day?" Li Canghai asked suspiciously.

"Hehe, Childe will understand later." The old man was mysterious.

Li Canghai also smiled and said, "Since this is the case, then Xiao Ke will wait and see." However, I don't understand how this 'dragon god' can avoid falling to his death since he jumped off the cliff. ”

The old man narrowed his eyes and explained, "Childe doesn't know, and it is not easy to be elected as the 'Dragon God' in the town. Not only be bold and careful, but also agile. And this year's 'Dragon God' is a man with a lot of experience. He has been elected as the 'Dragon God' of the town for five consecutive years, because the townspeople are extremely confident in him. ”

As he spoke, a person wearing a dragon king's mask suddenly walked into the ancestral hall.

Seeing the man walk out of the ancestral hall, the crowd immediately erupted in cheers.

Immediately after, there was a drum beat.

The man wearing the mask of the dragon king danced rhythmically to the sound of drums.

"This is the dragon king's parade, and when the meeting is over, the dragon king will light a bouquet of lanterns, and then the 'dragon god' will jump off the cliff, fly around the whole town, and then land in the ancestral hall." The old man explained to Li Canghai.

Li Canghai nodded, and then looked at the dancer.

This dance is majestic and imposing, and even people like Li Canghai who don't know how to dance can see that they are dancing well.

The whole dance lasted for a long time.

After the dance, the 'dragon king' walked to a bunch of lanterns placed in front of the ancestral hall, took the torch from the person beside him, and lit the lantern.

After the lantern was lit, it slowly rose into the air, and then it bloomed like a colorful glow, and the crowd suddenly resounded with cheers.

This really amazed Li Canghai.

He never imagined that this seemingly ordinary lantern could bloom like a flower, with a breathtaking light.

As the lantern rose into the air, the man who played the role of the 'dragon king' slowly took off his mask.

Only then did Li Canghai realize that this person was actually a young and handsome man.

The man bowed to the people, and then slowly retreated into the ancestral hall.

The lantern slowly rose into the air with a soft light like colorful glass, and the time for a cup of tea rose into the air.

At this moment, the lantern suddenly exploded, like a firework.

At this time, everyone looked at the cliff excitedly.

Li Canghai also looked up.

I saw that on the cliff, a divine dragon really jumped down!

Everyone looked at the divine dragon and suddenly burst into cheers.

'Look!' Wyvern in the sky'! This year will be another year of good weather! The old man said excitedly.

Li Canghai was secretly surprised in his heart, the divine dragon jumped off the cliff, and after a period of descent, it suddenly rose into the sky and flew towards the town.

"My lord, this ...... It's incredible, isn't it? Lu Jitong watched in disbelief as the dragon flew in the night sky, and said in amazement.

Li Canghai narrowed his eyes, and when the divine dragon flew closer, he immediately saw through it.

It turned out that the 'divine dragon' was nothing more than a dragon-shaped lantern.

The dragon-shaped lantern was lit with flames, and through the paste paper on the lantern, it emitted a faint soft light, making it look like a real dragon.

What surprised Li Canghai the most was that this dragon lantern was actually driven by a huge kite. (To be continued.) )
