The bonfire was held in the open space in front of the ancestral hall. In the middle of the clearing, there was a huge fire. The firelight illuminated the entire clearing. Around the clearing, there are small fires. On the edge of the small fire, a crowd of people sat around. All of them were dressed in costumes. It was women of different ages who were singing. The charm in their voices, the melody in their voices, seem to be interpreting the joy and brightness in their hearts. After the women had finished singing a song, some of them performed the next, while others took out bowls of wine and passed them on, singing and drinking as they sang. No wonder their singing is so intoxicating.

When the people sitting around the fire saw us approaching, they warmly invited us to join us. Someone moved out of place for us, someone handed us bowls of wine. The wine is made by their family, and the alcohol content is very low, sweet and sour, which makes people feel refreshed after drinking. Our group joined them, drinking mellow and warm wine, and felt that the women's singing was more and more full of deep intoxication. After the women's singing, the men began to join in. The men's singing was so reined in that it seemed that they were not singing with their voices, but that they naturally flowed from the bottom of their hearts. Their singing voices are both desolate and sad in Mongolian songs and high and passionate in Tibetan songs. There is a kind of momentum in this song, which is agitated and inspiring, making people listen to the blood boiling and passionate.

Then came a group of sturdy men. The men were all wearing masks, and their bare tops were draped only with some decorative stuff. As soon as they appeared, they brought out an impassioned momentum. Their dance is strong and powerful, more like a martial dance. After that, a group of women came down, and these women were heroic and cool, and their dancing was also more martial arts.

The old cannon sitting on the other side of me said that this dance made people's blood boil, and it was more like a group martial arts. I said that this was a dance that was danced before the expedition to motivate people to fight bravely and kill the enemy. A sister in the distance leaned in and asked me how I knew? When I say that I understand dance, I understand it, and no one can tell how I understand it.

In the middle of the event, the tribesmen began to toast. As soon as I saw this posture, I hurriedly made an excuse to slip away. I slipped to the back of the ancestral hall. At this time, the moonlight is like water, and the mountains stand in the moonlight, giving people an indescribable sense of sacredness. I saw a figure standing not far away, but I couldn't tell who I was seeing from the back. I got closer and found that this person was Ah Mei. I called softly, "Sister, don't you watch the song and dance of the tribe, why are you running here?" ”

Ah Mei glanced back at me and said, "As soon as I got here, I had a very strange feeling. I felt that everything here seemed familiar and intimate. ”

I nodded, "I feel the same way." ”

I found a stone and sat down on the side, feeling the coldness of the stone rising. I took out a scarf from my pocket, put it on the stone, and asked Ah Mei to sit down as well. Ah Mei looked at me with some gratitude and sat down gently. said, "Unexpectedly, you are quite careful." ”

I said, "No, the girls praise me for being a good lover." ”

Ah Mei said, "The skin is thick enough." It seems that he can't stand the praise, and as soon as he praises it, his tail cocks. ”

I said, "Actually, I'm quite thin-skinned, like I like a girl, and I've never dared to say it to anyone." But it's true that I can't stand up to praise because growing up, I rarely received praise. When you are praised once in a while, it is natural to behave flattered. ”

Ah Mei smiled, "It seems that you are quite hypocritical. Would you dare not say that you like girls? At first glance, it is a stalker, and I am afraid that it will sound better than singing. ”

I said, "You've wronged me." Don't dare to say it's fake, don't say it's true. In fact, I'm humble and leave good opportunities to girls. ”

Ah Mei shook her head, "I've seen a thick-skinned person, but I've never seen a thick-skinned person like you." ”

I said, "Don't praise me like that, I'll be proud." ”

By this time, the moonlight had dimmed, and bits and pieces of starlight twinkled in the sky. Ah Mei said. "I don't know if you've ever seen the nebula map of the universe, in the universe, all the stars are arranged in the shape of a vortex." Ah Mei's eyes were firmly fixed on the sky, "It is said that the human heart is a small universe, and I finally understand the meaning of this sentence now." You see, if that's our mind, we never pay attention to and don't care about the light of our mind, but whether we pay attention or not, these lights are running. Isn't this a universe that we've overlooked? ”

Ah Mei said, her hand touching mine. I shook my sister's hand. I felt a noticeable tremor in my sister, but she didn't break free. I held Ah Mei's hand and found that her hand was unusually cold. I asked Ah Mei to hand me the other hand as well, and I warmed Ah Mei's hands with my palm. Ah Mei pursed her lips tightly, just staring at me with her sparkling eyes.

I said, "From the first time I saw you, I felt very familiar and familiar. It's like we knew each other before, or even we already knew each other. ”

Ah Mei nodded and said, "I feel the same way." ”

I said, "Perhaps, we were lovers in the last life!" ”

Ah Mei glanced at me, lowered her head, and didn't make a sound.

After a long time, Ah Mei opened her mouth again. Ah Mei told me that in fact, the village we are in now does not seem to be a complete tribe, but only a part of a tribe. The main part of this tribe also lives in seclusion in the mountains. The real name of this tribe is Bogda. There are nine divisions in Bogda, and the nine divisions are actually nine tribes, namely lions, tigers, wolves, leopards, eagles, vultures, elephants, sharks, and crocodiles. The nine clans are all the guardians of the temple and live in the eight directions of the temple. Legend has it that the temple was a place dedicated to the gods of the Bogda. There are sixteen gods in the Bogda, each of which has its own division of labor, and each is in charge of a different tribe. Together, the sixteen gods are called the Bogda gods. Ah Mei said that in this mountain, the legend hides a huge secret. The secret is in the temple. But if there is no one to lead the way, the people outside will not be able to find the temple. I've heard that there are a lot of strange things on the way there. There are places where you can hear the elves singing, but no one can see where the elves are singing. There are places where you will encounter ghosts at night and these ghosts will turn all the flowers into lights. There is also a sea of flowers, but once you walk in, you can't get out again. In short, there are many biting flowers, man-eating trees, and strange things.

I know that in the arrangement of the tour group this time, the temple is also a point to visit. But it was a surprise to me that Ah Mei knew so much about the temple.
