In the light of the morning, there were large patches of fog all around.

On top of the many plants and trees, there are already a lot of crystal clear dewdrops.

In the middle of Kunlun Lake, there is a small island, and on the island there is a very towering pagoda.

This pagoda is also very exquisitely repaired, under the sunlight, it is like carving countless gold, under the bath of the morning sun, it emits a faint golden yellow light, it looks like a candle that will shine, and it is filled with a circle of golden halo in an instant.

When Runzhi was on the bamboo raft, he had already seen this glittering pagoda.

Runzhi then asked the old man to send a group of many people to the island where the pagoda is located.

The old man of the ferry told Runzhi: "This pagoda is in the middle of this Kunlun Lake, this island is also famous in China called Taishan Island, this Taishan Island is located in the center of this huge lake, inhabited by thousands of people, because this Taishan Island is called Taishan Island, in fact, the terrain of this island is also very flat, the land on the island is very fertile, very suitable for agricultural production, so although there are only a few thousand households here, but the population has reached hundreds of thousands. ”

Runzhi helped the old man row the bamboo raft, while listening to the old man tell a lot of deeds about this Taizhou Island, and listened to it with great interest for a while, only to hear the old man say quietly:

"Since ancient times, in fact, this Taishan Island has been a famous island, this island has raised thousands of people, bred a unique customs and customs, and there is a very magical ethnic group living on this small island. People from the outside world call the people of this ethnic group the Taishan Hui tribe. Taishan gray tribe is a magical ethnic group, this ethnic group as a very inconspicuous small ethnic group in China, but has its own very colorful ethnic culture, in this Taishan Island, Taishan Gui people have their own unique ethnic clothing, has a unique dialect of their own. Including many customs and customs with their own characteristics, which seem incredible to the outside world, but have many mysterious connotations, especially the many collective rituals that contain countless suggestive totems, are even more breathtaking. It is precisely because of this that many people come from afar to explore Taishan Island. This Taishan Island is indeed fascinating, not only because of its beautiful scenery, the unique cultural landscape beyond the imagination of the general, but also the hospitable character, which makes many outsiders come from thousands of miles away. Being a small island seems to be so calm, but in fact it is surging. It turned out to be on this small island. Although all people are Taishan Gray people, different people believe in different spiritual pillars, some people choose to take the Buddhist scriptures as their spiritual pillars, some people choose the Quran as their spiritual pillars, and some people choose to take the Tao Te Ching as their spiritual pillars. It is precisely because of the difference in the spiritual pillars of many people that it is said that on this small island, people have to have a big debate every day, and this big debate itself is a ritual, and every fifteenth day of the new year, people have to carry out large-scale sacrifices, which are required to be attended by all the people on the island, men, women and children. ”

When Runzhi was on the bamboo raft, it was the time of sunset, only to see that in the west, the orange-red fireball was hanging high in the sky, and after a while, the light of the orange-red fireball gradually dimmed, and then gradually along the tall mountain peak in the west, slowly like a turtle hiding in the shell, gradually disappeared into the top of the distant mountains.

The old man paused, then continued:

"In fact, on this Taishan Island, many ceremonies can be said to emerge one after another, because Taishang Island can have a unique love for rituals, which first originated in ancient times. It turned out that this Taishan Hui tribe was a branch of the Xuanyuan tribe, because the ancestors of this group acted as messengers between the two tribes of Fuxi and Nuwa, sending love letters to the two. Because this ethnic group once made a mistake when acting as a messenger, that is, when handing over the tribal documents to the other party, it was actually when Fu Xi wrote a love letter to Nuwa, and accidentally lost a page, which made the two sides almost have a misunderstanding, but fortunately, when the two sides almost had a misunderstanding because of the mutilation of the love letter. With great difficulty, the messenger finally found a love letter written on vellum paper from the mouth of a wolf, which was then stained with blood. It turned out that the love letter was because of this animal skin, and after it was lost, it was used by a woman of the Nuwa tribe as the coat of her illegitimate child, but later because the woman could not afford to raise the child, she threw the child into the wilderness. There are also legends that it is because the woman can't stand the fingering and gossip of others, so the woman threw the child in the barren mountain and was captured by the wolves, but in the end the child did not die, the child was raised by the wolves, he was hungry and ate the raw flesh of the beast, and when he was thirsty, he drank the wolf's milk, and gradually grew up to be a fierce werewolf. Werewolves don't like to talk, and inadvertently become the leader of an ape-like species far away from the West. This werewolf is very brave and fearless when he fights. Chun said that this werewolf once led a pack of thousands of wolves, led a tribe of apes in the west, and launched a provocation and attack on the Xuanyuan tribe, each time it would completely surprise Xuanyuan and lose countless gold, silver and jade. In the end, this messenger sent an envoy to the ape tribe, and touched the apes at that time with his life, so that the man finally committed suicide to apologize. Later, this man not only did not migrate westward, but became the ancestor of the Persian Empire in the Persian state. At that time, the family where the deceased was located, because the deceased had been pregnant with his wife before the accident, and after the initial difficulty of the messenger, and after the life of apology, sacrificed in the wolf's insufficiency, his wife gave birth to the child, so the child became the descendant of the Taishan Hui tribe, and was recognized by the Xuanyuan tribe at that time, the recognition of the Yellow Emperor. When the Xuanyuan tribe created words, it was also the time to create words. The whole island was deliberately named the island where the Taishan Hui people gathered, and a unique character was created, that is, Jiangzi. The so-called boundless love is this story. Since then, this Taishan Gray Clan has stayed on this Taishan Island forever, resolutely unwilling to go out. Never thought of leaving the island and living elsewhere, there is a magical tradition in this Taishang Hui tribe, that is, not to eat mutton. Reading among the Taishan Hui tribe, if anyone dares to eat mutton privately, he will be spurned by all the tribesmen, and will be driven out of this tribe by geeks, and before he is expelled, he will be beaten with a hundred sticks until he dies, and naturally most of them have died before the end of this whipping, so no one has ever been expelled, and those who eat mutton have disappeared from this island. ”。

The sun slowly set down from afar, leaving a sky full of feathered clouds, which slowly turned red, and the whole sky was covered by large red feathery clouds, which was indeed a unique sunset feast.

The starlight, hanging in the vast blue sky, looks very cute in the blink of an eye.

Runzhi listened to the introduction of the old man, and suddenly had a lot of his own understanding of this Taishan Island, he really didn't expect that on such a small island, there is such a group of magical ethnic groups, as well as such a unique cultural style, so the cognitive feet on the bamboo raft, there are already a lot of expectations and longing for this Taishan Island.

When Runzhi came to Taishan Island, it was already nightfall.

In the dead of night, the lights are very brilliant, only to see that on this Taishan Island, there are red lanterns hanging everywhere, these lanterns are also very peculiar, not oval, but gourd-shaped.

Originally, this island can worship the gourd to the south and take the gourd as the beauty, so the lanterns on the island are completely different from the traditional Kong Ming lantern and all other lanterns.

I saw that on the island, there were countless gourd lamps, and two candles were lit in each muddy hole.

It turns out that there is a popular legend on this Taishan Island. 51

In ancient times, on Mount Tai Island, there was a couple who loved each other very much, but the two had completely different family backgrounds, and the woman's family asked the demon king for help, so that the demon king could stop this marriage, and the price was that the woman had to be sold to the demon king as a slave, because the demon king's bid was very high, and the woman's parents finally agreed to the demon king's request in order to increase the family property for the woman's younger brother. The woman's family secretly did everything possible to not allow their daughter to marry a destitute man, and the man's family asked the gods for help, and knelt on the highest stone on the island for three days and three nights, and finally moved the gods, and the gods sent down a gourd lamp, saying that as long as the demon king came, he would show this gourd lamp, and the demon king would be transformed into the pet of the gods again and return to heaven. The gods specially instructed him that such lanterns could be replicated, and the more they were, the better, and they could also bring wealth, peace and good luck to the people on the island. So, after the couple got the lanterns, they asked the neighbors on the island to help make them, and promised to pay them, and everyone on the island learned the story of the two, and they did not hesitate to unconditionally help the couple make a large number of such lanterns.

Since then, the people on this Taishan Island have developed the habit of making a large number of lanterns into this foolish line, and hanging them in every inhabited place on this island, lighting this gourd lantern before the night falls, and gently closing their hands on their chests when lighting the gourd lanterns, silently praying for a stick of incense.

So many years, it seems that this gourd lamp really played a huge role, unconsciously it has become a big custom here, it seems that the gourd lamp has indeed brought countless good luck to everyone, so that this Taishan Island has always been the wind and rain, the five grains are abundant, the people of the Taishan Hui tribe live and work here in peace and contentment, but also live very freely.

When Runzhi and his party arrived at Taishan Island, at this moment, a huge sacrificial ceremony was being held on the island.

The Taishan people on the island call this grand sacrifice the god of grains, and the object of sacrifice, the god of grains, is the god of Taishan people worship very much. In the view of the Taishan Hui people, this is a very important sacrificial activity, because of the existence of such gods, so that this Taishan Island, can keep the wind and rain smooth for many years, so that this Taishan Island, many Taishan people are carefree, food and clothing are worry-free.

Usually such a festival is held once a year, in the spring and summer. Sometimes it's at the spring equinox, sometimes it's summer. Usually in ordinary years, it is on the summer solstice, and in leap years, it is on the vernal equinox.

When Runzhi and his party were on the island, they met a large group of beautiful young women.

These women make a living from singing and acting, and they have very hot personalities and show great hospitality.

Naturally, these young women are also very versatile.

They are very good at dancing a difficult dance, which is known locally as the Tarzan Dance.

The so-called Taishan Dance, in fact, is the same as the neon dress and feather dance written by Tang Xuanzong for Yang Guifei back then, which has amazing similarities, or part-time movements.

The Taishan dance is more majestic and magnificent, with a kind of blue and spectacular atmosphere, which is a typical collective dance.

When dancing the Taishan dance, the lineup is often very large, and the scale is often much larger than dozens of people dancing at the same time.

This Taishan dance often needs dozens of beautiful young unmarried women, one of them has the most beautiful temperament and face dance as the protagonist, the protagonist is always in the middle of the team, becoming the core of the dance, and the rest of the women are like many green leaves lined with red flowers, around the protagonist, this dance with the light rhythm of the gourd silk, slowly dancing, between the clouds and flowing water makes the viewer feel very wonderful.

When Runrunzhi and his party came to Taishan Island, it was when the sun was falling.

At this moment, although a grand sacrifice was being held on the island, the strange thing was that all the people were sitting cross-legged on the ground of a large square in silence, holding a pot of flowers in their hands.

This flower is not some other wildflower, but an authentic peony flower.

Everyone hugged the peony flower to their chests, crossed their legs and knees, sitting on this square, their mouths seemed to be silently chanting something, everyone had words in their mouths, and their eyes were tightly closed.

On the front of the steps, there is a wizard who is dancing and performing something, and the movements are so novel, sometimes like a monkey stealing a peach, sometimes like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing, in short, doing all kinds of strange movements by himself, which makes people feel dazzled.
