We got dressed, Ma Kequ and Hu Yuan were standing in the courtyard and were waiting for us, today Ma Kequ was dressed very beautifully, wearing a lot of silver jewelry on his head, and walking jingling. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info After we said hello to each other, Ma Kequ gave each of us a knife head and a piece of cooked meat for us to bring, I was a little strange and didn't know what the reason was.

Niubi looked left and right at Tsushima Kequ and asked, "What about you, Ada?" ”

"My dad got up before dawn and went to the sacrificial floor to prepare for the sacrifice-related matters, waiting for you lazy worm to go together, and the sacrifice will not be done." Ma Kequ said coldly.

The cow's nose glanced at her and didn't speak, after all, it was on other people's territory, eating other people's and living in other people's homes.

We followed the road to a clearing next to the village, about the size of a basketball court, paved with stone slabs very flat, surrounded by hundreds of Qiang villagers, mostly men, but also a few young girls. Ma Kequ said that this is the sacrificial flat.

Niubi leaned next to me and whispered to me, "Hehe, the girls here are all beautiful!" ”

"I said, can't you rest, now that people are holding a sacred mountain sacrifice ceremony, you can't be less crooked."

Niubi muttered, "Haven't I been resting?" ”

I didn't bother to pay attention to him, but through the crowd, I saw a tower-shaped hill about three meters high and made of stone on one side of the altar. On top of the hill is a stone pillar about half a meter high, on which are placed five white stones the size of the chimney of the house. I looked closely, the first white stone was engraved with the word 'god of heaven', the second piece of white stone was engraved with the word 'god of the earth', and the later ones were engraved with the word 'mountain god', 'village god' and 'tree god', and some sheep's head patterns were carved on the edge of the white stone. Next to the tower hill is an offering table, on which there are incense burners and fruit sheep's heads and other offerings.

I was puzzled and asked Niu Nose, "Why did they offer five white stones?" ”

When Niu Bi heard this, he saw that no one noticed us and whispered: "Be quiet, don't be heard, they will think that you are disrespectful to the gods of heaven, earth, mountains, and so on." ”

"Oh". As soon as Niu Nose said this, I was even more confused.

Bullnose continued to whisper to me:

It turns out that legend has it that the Qiang people were originally a nomadic people living in Shaanxi, Gansu and the Qing generation. During the Qin period, due to the invasion and oppression of the Qin rulers, they were divided into several branches and migrated to SC and other places. On the way to migration, it was suddenly blocked by mountains and rivers, and then pursued by the Goki. When they fought and retreated, they were in a difficult situation, suffered heavy casualties, and faced the danger of the destruction of the entire clan, they were rescued by the ancestor god Abba Mubita. The god Abba Mubita threw three large white stones from the sky, and when they landed, they immediately turned into three snowy mountains, blocking the pursuit of the enemy soldiers and turning the situation of the people into danger.

It is also said that when the Qiang people were fighting with the Goki people, they were helped by the god Abba to defeat the Goji people with white stones, and then they arrived at the rich and beautiful "Ribu Dam" (in today's SCM County), where they were able to live and work in peace and contentment, reproduce their descendants, and continue to this day.

Later, the Qiang people regarded Baishi as a protective god, representing the god of heaven, the god of the earth, the god of the mountain, the god of the village and the god of the tree, offering pious sacrifices on the top of the wall, on the mountain, on the edge of the ground, on the shrine, on the roof "in the tower" and on the mountain king tower in the sacred forest, hoping to get the protection of these gods.

Niubi pointed to the house behind him and said, "Look at the roof again." ”

Sure enough, each house has a different number of white stones enshrined on the roof.

At this time, I saw Ma Kequ's father, Shabichang, in front of the offering table, shouting, everyone facing the white stone, arranging their clothes, and it seemed that the mountain sacrifice meeting had begun.

Lao Shibi shouted a Qiang language in his mouth, only to see two Qiang young men in their twenties brought a bunch of cypress branches, lit them with fire, and the villagers stepped over the fire in turn, and after crossing the fire, the villagers put away the tributes such as knives, cooked meat, and smashed wine brought from their homes.

At the same time, Shi Bi and several young men put on the masks of green fangs, beat drums and sang songs.

Under the leadership of Ma Kequ, we lined up to cross the flames in turn, with Ma Kequ and Hu Yuan in the front, I in the middle, and Niu Bi in the end. As Hu Yuan walked, she asked Ma Kequ, what is her Ada singing? Ma Kequ explained the gist of the lyrics to Hu Yuan.

When we came to the fire, Ma Kequ and Hu Yuan crossed the fire easily like little swallows, and I looked at the fire snake swaying left and right in front of me, jumped hard, and jumped over.

The ox nose followed closely, and just as the ox nose crossed the fire, a strong wind suddenly blew on the sacrificial lawn, and the fire was suddenly blown up by the wind, burning the trouser leg of the cow nose's left leg.

Niu Bi hurriedly extinguished the fire and scolded: "This ****** idea is too back, why doesn't it get windy when Ling Fei jumps?" ”

"Hehe, do you know why you got your pants burned?"

Bullnose raised his head to look at his trouser legs, glanced at me and asked, "Why?" ”

"Because your ancestor saw that the things in your mind were too evil, he deliberately punished and punished you!"

"Get out" Niu Nose was a little angry, it seemed that he cared a lot about me making fun of Master Zu and him.

After jumping over the fire, Hu Yuan ran over again and despised Niu Nose. Niu Bi has been traveling around for many years, and he has subdued demons and caught countless ghosts, and is also known as the disciple of Zhang Daoling of the Zhengyi faction "Guomu Zhenren", but he didn't expect that this time he would cross a small fire in front of everyone and be burned his trouser legs, which is really embarrassing, and he is naturally extremely depressed, and he is going to go back.

I tried to dissuade him again and again, and he decided to stay, and when the ceremony here was completed today, he would go back. Actually, I also want to find the matter of the Divine Domain Enchantment as soon as possible, but it's not a solution for us to look around, and besides, we need a good guide, and we may be able to have some clues if we stay here, so that at least we won't get lost in the mountains like last time.
