In early antiquity, a prophet founded the Vulcan religion. The name of the prophet was Azra.

Torch Festival is Azra's birthday.

According to legend, the prophet Azra was an incarnation of the god of fire. Before he was born, the whole world was plunged into a dark year.

But Azra's mother finally gave birth to him after 18 months of pregnancy. When Azra landed and cried, the sun rose over the eastern horizon.

Later, followers of Vulcan made Azra's birthday an annual religious holy day.

When the devotees of the god of fire spread throughout the western regions, this sacred day became a festival, which the Turks called the festival of the sun.

During this festival, everyone wavs a torch in their hand, which is used to represent the sun. For this reason, some people refer to this festival as the Torch Festival.

In the eyes of the Turks, the Torch Festival is similar to the Spring Festival.

It will last for six days. During these six days, people do not go to work, but enter the annual carnival.

Bullfighting, sheep fighting, cockfighting, horse racing, wrestling, cabaret shows, beauty pageants, and a variety of entertainment are staged in the city.

Everyone rushed into the street, and for a moment everyone was excited.

Because there were too many people on the street, Xia Yuan did not ask someone to arrange a carriage. He asked Chu Xintian if she could ride a horse. After learning that she could ride a horse, everyone chose to ride a horse.

On the way, Xia Yuan told Chu Xintian about the legend and characteristics of the Torch Festival.

Chu Xintian listened to Xia Yuan's story and was unconsciously familiar with him.

She wondered, where did this intimate feeling come from?

After a while, Chu Xintian figured it out.

Xia Yuan feels a bit like Di Qing.

Both of them are a little moody, Di Qing has good knowledge and knows the local customs very well.

Xia Yuan is the same, dressed as a scholar. When it comes to the Torch Festival, he's chatting too. At first glance, he was a very learned man.

Because of this, Chu Xintian saw Di Qing's shadow on Xia Yuan's body, so she would have another sense of intimacy with this person!

However, this made Chu Xintian feel a little funny.

Although Chu Xintian didn't know much about Xia Yuan.

But she still trusts her instincts.

Xia Yuan gave Chu Xintian a very good feeling, and he was very easy to get close to. Moreover, she didn't feel uncomfortable with Xia Yuan.

Perhaps, Xia Yuan's ability to hide all his emotions is too good.

But in any case, at least now Chu Xintian didn't see malice in Xia Yuan.

In this way, Chu Xintian felt very good.

Alxa Castle is located in the center of Rongcheng. Just two blocks from the castle is the most prosperous and lively market in Rongcheng.

Yesterday morning, Chu Xintian was selling at the market next to the market.

Chu Xintian has been in Rongcheng for two days.

She was forced to come here yesterday. Her life is in danger. She wanted to run away. So, she didn't have the heart to browse the surrounding scenery.

In fact, yesterday the market was quite active.

The biggest torch festival is about to begin, and Rongcheng has long been ready to welcome this festival.

Today is the first day of the Torch Festival. Most of the residents of Rongcheng come out to play in festive costumes.

Xia Yuan told Chu Xintian that the most lively time of the Torch Festival was at night.

Torches and lanterns are hung outside in every house, and the whole town is lit up as if it were daytime.

A huge bonfire is lit in the clearing, around which people sing and dance.

It's daytime and the market is very busy during the day. There are many vendors who come out to sell a wide variety of special toys.

When they came to the edge of the market and saw so many people in the market, they knew they couldn't ride down here.

So, the group dismounted and began to walk.

Xia Yuan followed Chu Xintian and walked side by side with her.

Chu Xintian was also infected by this lively atmosphere. When she sees something new, she stops and stands for a while.

On both sides of the street, there are stalls selling all sorts of things.

There are delicate mirrors, jewelry made of various furs and precious stones.
