Wu Zheng changed into a brand new dress with a sad face, and then said to Xiao Qing on the side: "Big brother, your family of three will go, Yueming and I will show you the house!" ”

"There are no thieves on the prairie, so you don't have to worry about it. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info this festival is held once a year, and it is more lively than your Chinese Chinese New Year's Eve! Big brother will take you to see and see. After Xiao Qing finished speaking, he handed Wu Zheng a pair of new leather boots, "Let's see if it fits, this is what your sister-in-law made for me during the sacrifice ceremony last year, and I didn't even want to wear them." ”

Wu Zheng put on his boots and said to Xiao Qing: "We are Dahua, and we don't understand Da Liao, what if we are recognized?" Xiao Qing patted his chest: "What about my eldest brother, what are you afraid of?" As long as you stay with me, you'll be fine. Let's go and see how your sister-in-law is preparing. After speaking, he pulled Wu Zheng out of the yurt.

Xiao Xiao Zhen also put on new clothes, he wore a small felt hat, rode on the little red horse and waved the whip to urge the horse to come to Wu Zheng and said loudly: "Uncle Wu, there are many people participating in the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, and all kinds of competitions will be held, which is fun, you will definitely not regret it!" ”

Wu Zheng smiled: "Can you also participate in the competition?" Xiao Zhen shook his head and said, "I'm too young, I can participate when I grow up to be the same age as you." Speaking of this, Xiao Zhen looked at Wu Zheng and said, "Uncle Wu, you can participate, there are so many rewards!" ”

Wu Zheng didn't think about it and said, "Isn't it just to reward the winner with some cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock?" Otherwise, it's just some salt and cloth, or at most gold and silver jewelry, nothing out of the ordinary. When we Chinese hold competitions, we also reward these things. ”

Xiao Zhen couldn't help but be a little unconvinced when he saw Wu Zheng underestimating their heavenly sacrifice ceremony, and he said loudly: "There is another reward, you big Chinese definitely don't have it!" Wu Zheng became curious and asked, "What reward?" Xiao Zhen said triumphantly: "The most beautiful pearl of our Daliao!" ”

Pearl? Doesn't that still belong to the category of gold and silver jewelry? Wu Zheng was speechless for a while.

"Hey! Look who this is! Sister-in-law Xiao stood in front of another yurt and shouted to Wu Zheng and the others, and then pulled out Ding Yueming, who refused to come out.

Wu Zheng's eyes lit up when he saw it!

A long pink corset skirt dragged on the grass, framing her delicate curves, and her large black hair braided down her chest, twisted uneasily by its owner. Her slightly lowered pretty face was full of shyness, and her autumn-like eyes looked at the man she liked opposite from time to time, and she was young and beautiful, charming and moving.

Xiao Qing praised loudly: "Sister Yueming is so beautiful! I see, even more beautiful than last year's pearl! Sister-in-law Xiao pinched her waist and said triumphantly: "You don't look at who dressed her up!" If I had been asked to dress up the girls of our tribe last year, the pearl would have fallen on the heads of the girls of our tribe! ”

Oh, it turns out that this pearl is not the other pearl! It seems that this pearl should be a kind of title, similar to the title of Miss Champion in a beauty pageant.

Sister-in-law Xiao pulled Ding Yueming to walk in front of everyone, Ding Yueming obviously hadn't gotten used to this dress yet, and he walked a little unnaturally. Although she was also wearing Liao clothes before, her hair bun and makeup were still the same. Now Sister-in-law Xiao is completely dressed up from the inside to the outside according to the appearance of a Liao girl, which makes the soft Ding Yueming have a little more heroism.

When walking past Wu Zheng, Ding Yueming tilted his head to look at Wu Zheng, and Wu Zheng gave her a thumbs up with a smile. Ding Yueming suddenly felt a bright light in his heart.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Xiao Qing drove the carriage full of daily necessities over and let Sister-in-law Xiao and Ding Yueming sit in the carriage. Wu Zheng and Xiao Zhen rode horses on both sides of the carriage, and the group sang and laughed happily and went to the location of the ceremony to worship the heavens.

When he arrived at the place, Wu Zheng realized how many "many, many people" Xiao Zhen was talking about, and there were shadows of yurts in the farthest distance that his eyes could see, and all kinds of colorful yurts had completely covered this grassland. Wu Zheng guessed, did all the Da Liao people come here?

Xiao Qing found a place to settle down relatively close to the water source, Wu Zheng helped him set up the yurt, and Xiao sister-in-law and Ding Yueming unloaded things from the car inside and out, cleaned up the bed, and lit a fire to cook. The festival usually lasts for three days, and you have to solve the problem of food and accommodation by yourself.

As the sky gradually darkened, countless people lit fires in front of the yurts, and the lights of the fires echoed the stars in the sky, making it impossible to distinguish between the sky and the earth.

As soon as the meal was ready, a group of strong men pushed open the door of Xiao Qing's yurt. When Xiao Qing saw it, he immediately greeted him with a smile, these people were all good friends he had played with since he was a child.

Everyone sat around and asked about Xiao Zhen, and when Xiao Qing introduced Wu Zheng and Ding Yueming to them, saying that this was the child's life-saving benefactor, these strong men stood up and bowed to them. The benefactor of a good friend is the guest of everyone.

The Da Liao people are heroic, they know that Wu Zheng and Ding Yueming are Dahua, but no one mentions these things, they just toast the two vigorously. Sister-in-law Xiao pulled Ding Yueming out of these drunken and stinky men, leaving only poor Wu Zheng to deal with these drunken men.

Wu Zheng was infected by the enthusiasm of this group of men, he did not refuse to come, and the wine must be dry! When he got drunk, he took off his clothes and howled a song of Pang Long's "Brother Hug", which attracted everyone's applause.

The next day, the festival officially began. The process of the ceremony is not complicated, first of all, the shaman priest will pray to the gods for good weather and prosperity in the coming year. Next, Emperor Liao offered sacrifices and recited scriptures, and announced the start of the carnival.

After that, it was time for the beauty pageant, where a recognized and most beautiful girl was selected from thousands of young girls, and Emperor Liao gave her a pearl. The rest is the climax of the entire festival to the sky, the iron-clad good men of Daliao will have a national event of first competition and second friendship, and the winner will get the heart of the pearl.

After listening to Xiao Qing's introduction, Wu Zheng immediately sympathized with this pearl in his heart. Although she received the title of champion and a rich reward that made all the women blush, she was rewarded as a prize to the winning warrior, and she had no right to oppose it at all, so she could only accept it silently.

What a wicked feudal society!

The two steps of shaman sacrifice and Liao Emperor's sacrifice took most of the day, and finally waited until Emperor Liao announced the end of the ceremony and the celebration began, and people's emotions began to rise. Hand in hand, they gathered around a huge bonfire and began to sing and dance.

Wu Zheng and Ding Yueming also sang and laughed along with the crowd. Xiao Xiao Zhen took Wu Zheng's hand and said loudly: "Uncle Wu, isn't it fun, I didn't lie to you!" Wu Zheng also laughed loudly: "Uncle Wu is happy to die, I really want to stay here forever!" Ding Yueming turned his head, stared at Wu Zheng with a pair of beautiful eyes, and said silently in his heart: "If you want to stay here, then I will stay with you and never be separated from you!" ”

Chirp!

An arrow pierced the sky, and people stopped, closed their mouths, and returned to their tribes to prepare for the next pearl selection event

。 The maidens wore the brightest clothes, put on the best makeup, and walked out of their tribe with the most beautiful ornaments. Holding hands and singing songs in praise of the gods, they slowly gathered into a large clearing. Then they lined up in several columns, waiting for the leaders of the various tribes to make the first screening.

Wu Zheng roughly counted that there were about 2,000 girls participating in the beauty pageant, and there were only 20 tribal leaders who were screened, which means that the ratio was about 100 to 1, and this was only a primary election. It's not easy to stand out from so many competitors.

Sister-in-law Xiao took Ding Yueming's hand, sighed involuntarily, and said regretfully: "It's a pity that you can't participate, sister, otherwise the pearl will definitely fall on your head!" As soon as she finished speaking, another arrow slashed through the sky.

The crowd looked at the shaman priest on the high platform in amazement, only to hear a loud voice coming down from the high platform. After hearing the voice, people began to turn their heads to each other, and their faces were full of surprise.

The voice was in Da Liao, Wu Zheng didn't understand it and asked Xiao Qing beside him, Xiao Qing said with a bitter face: "The shaman high priest said that the gods of heaven decreed that the rules for choosing the pearl this time were changed. All girls of the right age, whether they want to or not, must participate, or the gods will bring disaster on that tribe! ”
