Volume 5 Chapter 21 The Great Carnival

The patriarch led Ji Fa and many young people in the clan to prepare dry food and hunting weapons in advance, and arrived at the location of the tribe where the wildfire festival was going to be held, Bogu, a few days in advance.

When I arrived at the place, Ji Fa found that this place of Bogu was too prosperous compared to the place where the Fengyi people gathered, and the houses were lined up and scattered, and they could almost catch up with Chaoge, although the house buildings were not as atmospheric and magnificent as Chaoge, but the food was all good things, in comparison, the Fengyi people were the real primitive society.

However, the Dongyi people have never paid much attention to these, as long as there is a large piece of meat to eat and a big bowl of wine to drink, it is a good life, and the reason why Bogu is so prosperous is also because of the business between Dongyi and other parties.

As Ji Fa, who has seen a lot of prosperity, although it is lively here, it is still too far from what he has really experienced, so he doesn't feel much, and for many young people of the Fengyi clan who are traveling with him, this is the first time he has seen such a lively place, so it is like the first time a hillbilly enters the city, he is amazed everywhere, and there are a lot of jokes.

When they arrived at the final gathering place, everyone, including Ji Fa, was shocked.

Because really, there are too many people, and it's too chaotic!

On the edge of the endless lake, the same almost endless meadow, is full of all kinds of people!

Usually thirty or forty people formed a circle, some even reaching hundreds, and in the center of each lit a huge bonfire, which was blazing on its own.

And there are a lot of people around the fire, and in the circle, some people are improvising improvisational performances of various animals, dancing wildly, and they are almost all naked, with all kinds of tattoos on their chests, backs, thighs, some are cute animals, some are hideous ghosts, and some don't know what kind of symbols they are.

The faces are the same as the bodies, dyed in various colors, and some simply wear masks made of unknown materials, and there are also tigers, lions, and whatever shapes, and it is estimated that even the most familiar people can't recognize who is who.

When he got a little closer, Ji Fa found that most of the people around each circle were women!

Naked men danced and reveled in the circle, while women watched with only a circle of leaves or animal skins around them.

Oh no, not just watching, to be precise, but also singing and shouting unknown songs, circling around and dancing, just as lively as the inside of the circle.

"This is what you call Wildfire Festival?" , Ji Fa looked at the scene in front of him, and asked the patriarch in shock.

After asking, he found that it seemed to be a little different from his shock, and the speechless Fengyi people who were also shocked by this lively carnival scene had already had red eyes, and seemed to be eager to participate immediately......

"That's right!" , the patriarch said proudly and loudly.

It seems that the warm scene in front of him has also inspired a certain memory of the patriarch when he was young, and the patriarch said excitedly to the clansmen behind him with some nostalgia:

"Athletes, it is up to you whether you can win glory for my clan in the next few days, I won't say anything superfluous, in short, I wish you good luck!"

After speaking, the patriarch waved his big hand, and all the young people of the Fengyi clan brought it suddenly dispersed into the middle of various large and small circles like a river flowing into the sea, and in the blink of an eye, only the patriarch and Ji Fa were left.

Although Ji Fa probably knew the purpose of the Fengyi Clan's coming this time, he didn't know much about the details of the situation, and saw that everyone ran away after the patriarch gave an order, so he stared at one of them curiously to see what he was going to do.

Unexpectedly, the guy ran outside the largest circle with a smoke, took out a mask-like thing and put it on his head, and then tore off the few pieces of bark clothes on his body three times and two times, and then smeared a few thighs with his hands, and then rushed into the circle so nakedly!

Then, like a demon, he danced like crazy!

All this really shocked Ji Fa to be speechless for a long time!

It turns out that this is the legendary "Wildfire Festival"!

The patriarch on the side was quite high-spirited, and seemed to feel that he had returned to his youth in a year, and after looking around for a long time, he suddenly said to Ji Fa:

"Childe, do you want to go down and play first?"

Ji Fa was almost taken aback by the patriarch's words, and quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, I'll take a look first."

Seeing Ji Fa's embarrassed appearance, the patriarch couldn't help laughing, and continued to Ji Fa with a laugh:

"That's right, it's still early at this time, and it's not until the evening that it's lively, it seems that Childe is still very experienced!"

Regardless of Ji Fa's face, he laughed again.

……

When night fell, Ji Fa realized that compared to the evening activities, it was simply a scum during the day!

In the evening, the dancing crowd becomes even more frantic, stepping on the fire and stepping over the fire railing......

Shoot rockets!

Turn the fire circle!

Burst into flames!

……

One thrilling game after another constantly challenges Ji Fa's imagination!

As the soul of a modern person who was born thousands of years late, Ji Fa was forced by a small life, and went to many places to beg, and his vision is not broad, it can be said that he has walked through the south and the north, the train has pressed his legs, and he has seen a mouse kiss his mouth......

But when I got here, I found that I still had too little knowledge after all, and all this in front of me almost blinded my eyes.

Compared with the careful juggling of later generations, this scene is simply indescribably spectacular, violent, exciting, and novel......

It can even be said that the people here are simply playing with fire with their lives!

Yes, this seems to be a festival, but there is a fanaticism and sacredness in everyone's eyes that Ji Fa can't understand!

Even if they were burned by the fire, even if their arms were scorched by the fire, even if they were burned by the sparks, they still did not care, and while they reveled in the grand land, they worshipped, prayed, wept, sang and laughed as if they were pilgrimage......

And all this, after the patriarchs of the twelve major clans, including Huangyi, Baiyi, Chiyi, Xuanyi, Yiyi, Yuyi, Fangyi, and Yangyi, came with their clansmen, and threw the scarecrow, which symbolized a certain symbol, into the largest fire, it finally reached a climax.

In front of the huge fire, men and women of all tribes held torches and sang loudly:

"Flint is the mother

Sickle is the father

Industrious life

Merciful god of fire

Serve a full glass of wine

Offer a rich offering

Pray for prosperity

Pray for the prosperity of the tribe
