Chapter 131: Flowing Fire
Because the official forum of Cloud Dream has announced, there are several festivals in the main city that will be different, with strong regional characteristics, and Liuhuo Village is one of them, so Liuhuo Village should be one of the regions with the largest number of people in the whole world at this moment. At this moment, the long canal is surrounded by water on both sides, and it is bustling with the figure of the player.
As the performance began, people gradually heard the neat drum beats and trumpets, but because the sky had already darkened, they could not see it really. Suddenly, a flash of fire flickered, and it seemed that two torches were lit on the dragon boat in the distance, and the two torches moved to the places near the banks on both sides, as if they had lit a fuse, and the ropes on both sides were suddenly ignited, and the whole canal seemed to be lit up by torches in an instant.
The burned rope snorted when it fell into the water, and the last light illuminated the river with a sparkling red light, and the player's enthusiasm was instantly pushed up, cheering at the slowly approaching dragon boat in the distance.
Gradually, the dragon boat is closer, under the light of the fire, you can see the huge dragon head of the dragon boat and the dragon tail hidden behind it, the finely carved dragon head and dragon tail appear to shine under the reflection of the fiery red light, and people find that the dragon boat is not one, but a series of long dragon boats, slowly moving forward at the same speed.
The dragon boats are huge, each with dozens of NPCs on it, and some of the boatmen are topless, rowing their oars neatly under the beat of the drum, which seems to resonate with the heartbeat, and people can't help but feel excited.
In the middle of the dragon boat stood several people, each holding a metal rod two or three feet long with a hook, one of them had a hollow metal sphere hanging on the hook, and several people were also naked, and the muscular body seemed to be smeared with oil, and it looked even more wild under the reflection of the firelight.
Suddenly, the long rod hooked with the metal ball flicked and swept towards a torch on the shore, and the metal ball was ignited instantly, and the sparks seemed to be thrown onto the shore.
I saw that the man's arm was used again, and the fireball was brought back and circled, and then thrown into the air on the shore, the moment the fireball was unhooked, it attracted the exclamation of the player on the shore, and then the fireball was hooked by another person, and a large circle was drawn in the air, and it was caught steadily, and the fireball seemed to be given an alternative breath of life.
The fireballs flew in the hands of several people, leaving fire marks in the air. Full of masculinity and bulging muscles in the arms, many female players excitedly covered their red faces as if they were roasted by the firelight.
Then the second boat came, this time flying with several fireballs, and several people did not stand still like the first one, but moved lightly on the dragon boat, with several dazzling fireballs, as if they were dancing, and as if they were performing some ancient ritual. The fiery red metal ball seems to have come to life, imprinting their unique trajectory in front of people's eyes.
The performances on the third boat are even richer, in addition to the fireball, there are also fire rings and erupting fire snakes, obviously the dragon boat activity in the fire village is a feast of fire, all the performances revolve around the elements of fire, making people unconsciously feel that the temperature has risen a few degrees, and people's enthusiasm has risen again and again.
One ship after another, the flawless performance is amazing, and it makes you forget that this is only in the game world.
Cheers and applause were endless, and the teahouse where Xiao Ai was blowing the wind was also boiling, and everyone sitting by the window had already stood up, and their excited eyes reflected a bright light. I couldn't wait to fly directly from the window to the river, and Qian Lian shouted that I shouldn't have squeezed it out just now, and it was more enjoyable to watch it below.
"Is this a traditional festival?" Xiao Ai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, even if he went out to play with his parents during the Spring Festival when he was a child, he had never seen such a lively scene, although there were inevitably some traces of carving and rendering in the game, but the traditional festival should be boiling like this.
"The charm of this festival is really extraordinary!"
An Zhiruosu also showed a happy smile, she had never experienced such a holiday scene, even if her life has always been much better than ordinary people, but for safety, even if there are places where such events are held, she rarely attends. In her mind, the holidays are about watching TV shows and coping with countless social interactions. Like this Dragon Boat Festival, there are not many festivals that can make you spend quietly.
And today's festival spent in Yunzhimeng has completely refreshed her perception of the festival, and the hypocritical and flattering face has been replaced by a sincere smile, which is the charm of the festival.
It's nine o'clock after the dragon boat show, walking on the street that is still lively, the surrounding crowd is also excitedly discussing the activities of this Dragon Boat Festival, more than nine o'clock on weekdays, some NPC shops and houses have been closed, only the lanterns that are still lit at the door are left, but these days basically every household is still lit up at night, there are still some stalls on the street, NPCs are smiling and selling festival items that have not been sold out.
"If only we could celebrate the festival like this in real life." Walking on the brightly lit streets, Xiao Ai couldn't help but sigh in the wind.
"In real life, it's a little difficult."
Anju is not as emotional as Momo, and is not optimistic about the realization of this kind of activity in real life, after all, those boatmen, jugglers and other industries, if no one appreciates them, the income will not be very high, but the training time will be longer than ordinary people expect, the cost is too high, and there are too few people who can invest in it.
What's more, the pace of life is too fast now, the reason why everyone is willing to spend the festival in the game, on the one hand, is for entertainment, on the other hand, it is also because it is easier to spend the festival in the game, without any preparation, the game is also played, the festival is over, but I don't think the time cost is too high. At present, the country's promotion of traditional festivals is increasing year by year, but it also needs the support and cooperation of the people.
Take Lingfeng Technology as an example, there are so many festivals a year, if each festival gives employees enough time to prepare to celebrate, it is difficult to do, a day's work represents a day's results, represents a day's profits, and also consumes a day's cost, no one can afford to waste. Even if Lingfeng's working hours are more flexible than any other similar company, it doesn't mean that they can put down their work and follow in the footsteps of tradition.
Although the scene just now made An Ju feel a little excited that was difficult to calm down, he still couldn't help but feel a little melancholy in the face of reality.
Xiao Ai also sighed in the breeze.
Of course, Ai Mo knows what Anke means, even if it is a simple rice dumpling in this era, no one inherits it and no one remembers, and it has lost its original taste, I don't know how much effort Anke wasted to be able to restore, this is still Encore, if it is an ordinary person, how many people can do it?
Perhaps Yun Zhimeng is so attractive, there is really a reason for him, he restores the ancient civilization, but also restores the traditional treasures.
On the street, there were still a few players laughing, and a man in a light gray robe stood in front of a shop, looking at the sachet in his hand and a piece of paper with a few lines written on it, and his grim expression finally changed slightly.
The slogan "Send" hangs at the door of the shop behind him, which is one of the several NPC shops that are open 24 hours a day in Cloud Dream.
