"Look at the seventh day of the first month! Very few people have the opportunity to see such sacrifices! Let's take a look when you're here~"

Wei Yong's excitement instantly aroused my curiosity, to say that the traditional sacrifices of these ethnic minorities, I really haven't seen it, I have heard some, but it is not comprehensive, following the direction that Wei Yong pointed to, I immediately saw a mountain cliff in front of me, it was a group of people dressed in strange costumes, holding red torches, gradually converging together.

"That's ...... Is it a fire pit?! Wei Yong stared at the flames in the crowd with blazing eyes, seemed to forget everything in an instant, and grinned; It's a fire pit! ”

The so-called fire pond is also called "fire pit", and some places are called "fire shop", and the fuel is firewood. Among many ethnic minorities, the fire pit is a very important part of life, and every year it is performed to pray for the safety of the family.

Wei Yong frowned; "What they are dancing is the extremely popular leather drum here, coupled with my understanding of Qiang culture, the prelude to the fire pond sacrifice is the jumping skin drum!"

"Oh?" I was surprised and asked, "What kind of dance is Pi Qi?" Why do you want to jump when it's important to do something like a sacrifice? ”

"Hey, hey!"

Wei Yong is not idle, quickly guide me to approach the scene of the fire pond sacrifice, when the wizard in the field swings a mysterious and strange dance steps, Wei Yongcai said with a hippie smile: "To dance this kind of dance, two wizards must be carried out at the same time, one person holds a short song in front, the other person holds a single-sided drum in his left hand, and the right hand holds a curved drum hammer to strike, and shakes the small iron ring in the drum and rattles, and begins to jump while beating the drum in a warm and tense atmosphere of shouting and drumming, and the feet keep shaking when walking, there is no lack of mystery, and the main footwork is the drum throwing step, The two feet are separated, the drum first falls between the two hips, and then throws upwards, beating the drum at the same time, tiptoeing on both sides, jumping forward with the front foot, and the back foot following out with the tip of the toe, exchanging drums left and right. There are also open crotch squatting and jumping, loose knees around the step, etc., as well as the technical action of playing "spin" on the spot, and its action rhythm is bright, intense and agile. Generally, after the death of the elderly, the fire pond sacrifice to dance the leather drum will be carried out for 3 days and 3 nights, and the relatives and friends of the deceased must participate in the dancing of the leather drum, the number of people is not limited, following behind the wizard, from right to left, or from left to right. First form a curve formation, then form a circle. The dancing drum is accompanied by the sheepskin drum and string bells held by the performer. ”

"Uh......" Although I am curious about the folk customs of this place, those hidden mystical sacrificial dances are discouraged by me, of course, this is based on the accumulation of boundless belief in Taoism, and I think that the Yu steps in the Taoist Gate are no less than their dance steps.

The "Immortal Medicine" chapter records Yu Bufa and says: "Raise the left in front, the right over the left, and the left on the right." The second move is right, the left is over the right, and the right is the left. The second move is right, the right is over the left, and the left is right. In this way, three steps, when the full two feet and one foot, there are nine traces. ”

"Yun Ji Seven Signs" volume 61 "Serving the Five Directions Aura Law" records the Yu steps taken when convincing, clouds: "The steps start from three steps and nine traces, which is called Yu steps. …… Its method is to raise the left first, a step, a front and a back, a yin and a yang, the beginning and the end are synchronized, the feet are horizontal, and each other is like a T-shape, so it is like the meeting of yin and yang.

The Yu step created by Dayu has the saying of repelling a hundred evil tigers and wolves, and it is also a must-match trick used in the Daomen to open the altar, which can make the caster one step closer to success......

Sure enough, as Wei Yong said, the wizard in front jumped in front of him, while the wizard in the back followed with a single-sided drum in his left hand and a bent drum hammer in his right hand - there was also a group of people who followed behind the wizard, chattering around the fire pond without stopping, but many of these people showed a very reluctant scene, saying that it was extremely reluctant, but their faces were covered with a faint layer of black qi, black qi, that is, dead qi!

Wei Yong reminded at the right time: "Those who follow behind must be the descendants or close relatives of the deceased, otherwise ordinary people will not be able to contact such a mysterious sacrifice." ”

I roughly understood something, and I gradually liked the Qiang dance, but just as I was staring intently at Pi Qi, a purple figure suddenly flashed behind one of the wizards, and the figure was so fast that I didn't even have a chance to blink, and just like that, it was fleeting......

I rubbed my palms hard, although I didn't see the person behind the curtain stay, but I still recognized that person, if my eyes didn't deceive myself, that person must be my cheap senior brother, Shangguan Jin!

Shangguan Jin actually arrived here smoothly...... There's no reason for that! How did he appear behind the Qiang sacrifice so easily? Thinking of this, I turned my head and chased in the direction where Shangguan Jin disappeared - "The seventh day of the first month? Where are you going? ”

Wei Yong's shouts came from behind, and then Wei Yong's urgent footsteps gradually approached, I suddenly paused, calmed down, and disappeared in place......

On the edge of a steep mountain cliff, Shangguan Jin put his hands behind his back and stared at my arrival with a cold expression, as if he had been waiting for a long time, as if he should not have come here, and the reason for this was that I had also come here.

"Junior Seventh Senior Brother, don't come unharmed!" The corners of Shangguan Jin's mouth were slightly raised, revealing a cold meaning that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, as if I was already under his control at this moment.

I would not compromise even half a step, and replied coldly, "I wonder what you relied on to get here?" ”

Shangguan Jin actually laughed when he heard this: "Silly junior brother, it's not me who said you, Yang Yuanshan is just picking out an apprentice from the waste heap, and it shouldn't be your seventh year, alas!" You've let me down......"

I glared, and my chest was suffocated for a while, but soon, I still forcibly suppressed my anger: "Shangguan Jin, it's a pity that my master just likes stupid apprentices like me, you, you have no chance in your life!" ”

"You-" Shangguan Jin's face sank, and he said, "I don't know what to do!" It is precisely because I am also a disciple of Maoshan Daomen that I don't let you go to danger in person, whether the other party is a legendary lich or a current corpse demon, I Shangguan Jin didn't pay attention to it, and you ...... I don't even have the ability to protect myself, so how can I talk about winning treasures?! ”

My heart trembled, Shangguan Jin's words were like knives, stabbing at my heart, yes...... My cultivation is not as good as his, and I don't even have the ability to protect myself at some point, so how can I talk about taking treasures? Even if I can successfully destroy the corpse demon, what ability do I have to fight with Shangguan Jin?!

"The seventh day of junior high school will not be afraid of you! I, Wei Yong, will not be afraid of you! Hum! No matter what decision I make on the seventh day of junior high school, I will be obligated to draw my sword to help! ”

Wei Yong who appeared suddenly, really surprised me, even Shangguan Jin on the other side also showed a slight look of consternation, but soon disappeared, his cold eyes were firmly fixed on the saber in Wei Yong's hand, for some reason, Shangguan Jin's face changed again, but he didn't even say hello, turned around and left
