Volume 3: Miao Jiang Gu Realm Chapter 18: Feng Shui Puzzle Thousand Miao Villages (3)
Returning to the stockade was already a different story.
The ancient streets in the village are already full of long tables like long dragons.
All kinds of wine and delicacies on the table, people arrive before the aroma of wine.
The villagers even wore antique Miao costumes, and the whole ancient street was very lively.
As soon as we arrived at the entrance of the village, we saw a row of wooden tables filled with a jar of clay pots, and when we came, there were two men and two women of the villagers walking towards us, the women's hands were holding bowls full of rice wine, and the men were blowing the reeds in their hands, and singing Miao songs that we could not understand.
The fat man and I walked in the front, and before we could figure out the situation, the wine had already been delivered to our mouths, and the fat man and I drank it cleanly in a daze.
Afterwards, I heard Professor Ouyang explain that this is a major custom of their Miao people, a long table banquet for thousands of people, but according to Professor Ouyang, this kind of long table banquet is usually held because of the marriage of relatives, full moon wine and village friendship, but now this place is also semi-commercial, and I don't know if there is really a happy event, or for commercial publicity.
The fat man was insatiable, drank a bowl and shamelessly asked for another bowl, poured it in one breath, and was satisfied", and said, "Whatever, anyway, we have a good mouth today, as the so-called early is not as good as a coincidence, and actually let us catch up, that is a blessing, if you don't eat and drink well, it is a tyrannical thing, just to Professor Ouyang, you are a distinguished guest from the capital." ”
Professor Ouyang shook his head helplessly, and laughed twice noncommittally.
As for the fat man, he had long coveted the wine and delicacies at the long table banquet, threw Professor Ouyang and their luggage to me and the ghost, and under the guise of helping us seize the position, he rushed to the long table banquet like Zhu Bajie saw his daughter-in-law.
But what kind of person am I, I have always been the only one who bullies the fat man, where is the reason for the fat man to bully me.
So I grabbed the fat man who was hungry and pounced, "You don't bother the fat man with this kind of rough work to grab the position!" Dachang Tong and Black Box have already done it for you. ”
I say this because I have already seen Da Cheong Tong and Black Boy in the crowd, and they are looking for us.
After Professor Ouyang and Xiao Kai were seated, we were in charge of the luggage, and then we strode towards the inn on the observation deck on the top of the mountain.
The main reason why I insisted on the fat man carrying his luggage was because this ancient street was still a long way from the inn where we were staying and needed to climb the mountain.
When I came this morning, I took the sightseeing bus directly, and now I can only walk, so I have to call the fat man to come over to help, in order to reduce the burden, I also called Dachangtong, and I don't know what equipment Professor Ouyang brought with them, and the four mountain bags are dead.
The fat man turned back step by step, looking at the laughter behind him, and the long table banquet of boiling sheep and sheep kept complaining to me, and I was all in the ears.
Professor Ouyang and Xiao Kai's rooms were next to our stay, after putting away the luggage.
The fat man is urging three times in one step, and he can't wait to immediately put on his wings and fly to the very tempting long table banquet.
The ghost, who had been laughing at the fat man as he passed by our room, suddenly stopped laughing, "Wait, this door has been opened." ”
His tone changed suddenly, and the fat man and I immediately smelled a strange atmosphere.
Although the ghost left the special forces, because of the industry we are engaged in, his vigilance has only increased, and he habitually makes a mark on the door of the room every time we stay in the hotel, and this mark will not change until he opens the door, and changing it to anyone will change the mark.
Could it be a thief? Although we don't have any too valuable items, and the important equipment is still on the car, after all, be careful to make the 10,000-year-old ship.
We opened the door and went in to inspect it, and after looking around, we found that not only was there nothing missing, but something was more, a dark brown wooden box.
The wooden box was on the table, and as soon as we entered the door, we found it, and at first the fat man wanted to reach out and open it, but I stopped him.
Because I vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the wooden box, but after searching around and finding that there was nothing missing, we set our sights on the wooden box of unknown origin.
This time, the fat man stepped forward to open it again, but just as his hand touched the wooden box, he didn't have time to open it in a hurry, and suddenly heard Dachangtong on the side shouting urgently, "Fat brother, be careful!" ”
Although none of us knew what was going on, Daechangtong's exaggerated tone was full of danger.
Fat man anti
It should be fast! Immediately put his hand away, turned his body sideways, and got down.
This action is obviously a knee-jerk reaction that people who have experienced it only when they encounter danger, which can help to avoid hidden weapons, and if there is an emergency, you can roll on the spot.
Nothing happened, though.
The wooden box didn't bounce off and fly out of anything dangerous as I had expected, and it was all around as usual.
The fat man still maintained a half-squatting posture with his legs, and hurriedly turned his head and asked Dachangtong, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”
Da Cheong Tong may have scared us because of the exaggerated reaction just now, so he laughed twice and said, "I just think it's better to be careful, doesn't my master often say that there must be fraud if you don't know the way!" ”
The fat man let out a sigh of relief, stood up straight, and said nonchalantly, "What a fuss! Your master is a fantasy syndrome, don't follow his example. ”
After that, he was about to open the wooden box again, but Dachangtong looked serious and still dissuaded, "Fat brother! You still can't be careless, this is Miao Village, it's the birthplace of Gu art, aren't you worried about what kind of Gu worms are in this wooden box? ”
As a fat man who has been in Gu like me, when he heard Dachangtong's words, he was obviously jealous, but he didn't change his dead nature, and he just shook his mouth, "This ...... This...... Ay! This is a tourist attraction, where there are so many evil ways. ”
At this point, he turned to me, looked at me and said, "Look at what apprentices you have brought and taught others to be nervous, so if you look at a Miao family here, do you have to guard against it?" ”
I listened to the fat man's more and more unscored, so he said, "Okay! Dachangtong is not unreasonable, after all, the origin of this thing is unknown, and it is placed so obviously, obviously afraid that we will not find it, this is a bit of pie in the sky, there are traps in the ground, it is better to be careful. ”
After finishing speaking, I asked Dachang Tong to take a towel, put it on the wooden box, and then open it, in order to prevent trouble, I naturally opened the wooden box against the wall, and asked the fat man to go away.
Before opening the box, my heart was constantly drumming, but I gritted my teeth and opened it, out of an extra heart, the moment I opened the box, I let go and jumped back.
But the moment the box fell to the wooden floor, only a piece of paper fell out, and there was nothing else, and the fat man waited a few seconds to make sure that there was only one piece of paper, and nothing else, so he approached calmly.
When I picked it up, I laughed at me and said, "Oops! Ngawang, Awang! You can be regarded as a person who has experienced it, and the size is a character, but this courage is too small, you see, isn't it just a piece of broken paper, as for making you have such a big reaction! ”
As the fat man said, it was indeed a piece of torn paper, only to see that the paper was some years old, and it was yellow stains on it, and it looked like it was torn from a notebook or book, because there were obvious tear marks on one side of the paper, and the paper was folded in half, and the fat man opened it and said, "Hey! There's a word on it! It seems to be a poem, and I will read it to you. ”
As he spoke, he pretended to read it.
"Twin peaks and high mountains are stargazing, a water dragon gate is passed at the foot, the stars and the moon go down the mountain to take shape, and the peak is taken by the stars, which must be the Xuanlongmen."
"Oh! It turned out to be the first seven words, but this level is average, the depression is not good, and there is no peace. After reading it, the fat man began to comment.
As soon as I heard that this was not a seven-word quatrain, it was like a mouth absolute, which was somewhat similar to the mouth in Feng Shui, so I said, "Don't shout if you don't understand, this is a fucking feng shui quatrain." ”
I glanced at it again, and then muttered, "That's right! It's feng shui, but it doesn't seem to be out of a book on the secret art of wind arts, or it should be said that it has been artificially modified, which is strange, usually feng shui dragon hunting is based on the book and the scene environment to speculate, why change it? ”
The fat man didn't understand feng shui, so he went through the wooden box again, made sure that there was nothing, threw the paper into the wooden box, and said, "This can't be anyone's fucking prank, it's really full, hey!" Speaking of being full, I haven't eaten yet, no! I've got to get to the long table or my stomach is going to strike. As he spoke, he urged us to leave quickly.
The long table banquet of the Miao nationality is the highest form and solemn etiquette in the banquet of the Miao nationality, which has a history of thousands of years.
In ancient times, it may have been the clansmen of the Alliance, but now it is all about traveling
Guest, when we found Professor Ouyang and them, the banquet was already in full swing, lively, looking at the steaming hot pot on the table, and some seedlings that I couldn't name, I also felt my stomach scream.
What made me feel new was that the soup in the hot pot was red, which I thought was spicy, and Professor Ouyang on the side had already helped me make a bowl.
I tried it, I didn't think it was sour, but it was very appetizing, Professor Ouyang was very knowledgeable, and explained that this is the sour soup of the Miao people, which is made by fermenting small tomatoes with local specialties, which cannot be drunk in other places, and Miao kingfish, which is said to be the chief of the Miao tribe in the past, especially liked to eat, so it was named Miao kingfish.
While the feast was in full swing, I heard someone shouting "Howl wine"! Then there were Miao people who "howled" at will, and then all of them responded in unison, and then drank the rice wine in their hands in one gulp.
When it was dark, and everyone was full of wine and food, they left in groups of three or three, or in groups of three or five.
Our group was still unsatisfied, but they ran out of wine, so they left in a hurry.
When we were about to walk to the inn where we were staying, the fat man, who was still just a hobbling man, suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground like a clay figure without bones.
I was also a little drunk, and I didn't think about anything else when I saw this, and instinctively reacted that the fat man drank down, so he smiled vaguely and said, "The fat man is drunk, a small amount of wine!" After speaking, he smirked while helping the fat man who was like a dead man.
Seeing this, the black boy also stumbled over to help, and said inarticulately, "Oops! This...... This rice wine has a nickname called Seeing the Wind Poured, you see! This...... This is not a fat man who has fallen. As he spoke, he burped, because the black boy had just vomited, and now the wine burp was full of the smell of making me evil.
The black boy tugged at it, but couldn't pull it.
The drunk person is paralyzed, and the four branches are useless, so it is particularly heavy, and the black boy sees that he can't pull the fat man, so he pretends to be a sissy and says to the fat man, "Fat man!" Get up, the slave family will take you home and change your clothes! ”
I also felt my head getting heavier and heavier, and started talking nonsense, "Black boy, you fucking fart, what's the wind about this?" It's just your bad breath. ”
Professor Ouyang is still old, and he naturally doesn't want us young people to drink, he drinks less, and he is still very sober, so he called the ghost who drank an amazing amount of alcohol to help, and the two of them took the fat man back to the room like a dead pig.
I also lay on the bed in a daze, and everything after that was completely blank, and I didn't know when it was, and my dry mouth after drinking woke me up from my sleep.
This kind of thirst after drinking is not like the usual thirst, it is the feeling that the water in the throat has evaporated, and you must be thirsty for water, otherwise the throat will be cracked.
I was confused, but I instinctively reacted to touch the water cup on the cabinet next to the bed, but when my body was just a third of the way up, I was startled by the sudden movement in the room.
"Who?" I didn't know exactly what I asked, I thought it was someone like me who got up in the middle of the night to get water to drink, but no one answered me.
I subconsciously looked at the source of the sound, and suddenly I saw a scene that shocked me, only to see a behemoth squatting on the toilet toilet, I don't know what it was doing, only to hear the sound of water coming from the intermittent noise.
Although there was no light, I could clearly feel that it was not human by the faint moonlight! Its moving forelimbs are so thick that you can hear its thunderous panting.
Suddenly I woke up and thought, "! It can't be a beast from the mountains sneaking into the room, right? ”
Immediately turned over from the bed lightly, the cat bent over and touched the ghost's bed, just patted the ghost lightly, and the ghost immediately opened his eyes vigilantly, saw that it was me, and there was a difference.
However, when I made a silent gesture, I immediately realized that I was in trouble, and I rolled out of bed silently.
I went to turn on the light in the dark, and the light suddenly turned on, which made my eyes uncomfortable, but I endured the stinging pain in my eyes and looked to the bathroom.
The heart said, "Wait for me, master, I will see your true face of Lushan and then find a way to clean you up."
It was also startled by the sudden light in the bathroom, and immediately rushed out, and I immediately saw its face clearly, and I was scared.
