Chapter 19 Dragon Boat Festival
Although Mu Changli said that he was skipping class, in fact, the Dragon Boat Festival of the art school had nothing to do with class.
The beginning of spring, the Dragon Boat Festival, and the Mid-Autumn Festival are the three major festivals of the art school in a year, and the three holidays are also divided according to these three major festivals. As for Qingming...... On national holidays, everyone goes back to their own homes to find their own mothers, and the school can't control it.
Among these three major sacrifices, the Dragon Boat Festival is different from the other two sacrifices.
The festival of the beginning of spring is the festival of the principal leading all the teachers and students to worship the sky, heralding the beginning of the year of study, and the sacrifice of the Mid-Autumn Festival is the sacrifice of the moon, because the moon has been closely related to magic since ancient times. Whether it's the beginning of school or the holidays, these two festivals have a more or less serious color.
The Dragon Boat Festival is diametrically opposed, the Demon Capital has nothing to do with the Chu State, and everyone is in no mood to care about Qu Yuan anymore. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the students of the art school will get up early in the morning and push the statue of Zhong Kui made of dogwood to the school gate, and then the teacher of the Rites and Law Department will perform the sacrifice, and the one-day "sacrifice activity" will begin.
Dragons, tigers, birds and other beasts are placed in the sky early in the morning, and this activity originated from the ancient "fighting grass". The students of the art school carried it forward, and cooperated with the magic of the Imperial Spirit Science to fight in the air nearby. For a time, the sky was full of dragons and tigers, the birds were galloping, and the scattered grass blades were falling one after another, which was impressive.
On the ground, the martial arts arena was cleared out early, and the surrounding area was sprinkled with realgar, among which a large amount of five poisons were provided by the Gewu Branch. During the Dragon Boat Festival, the poisonous and evil qi is the most abundant, and there are always some restless five poisons just to be disposed of. Students who are willing to enter can follow the rules of ancient polo and ride their bicycles to a big melee to capture the five poison points - no way, even if the family background of the art school is thick, there is no way to solve the problem of horses being afraid of poisonous insects, unless they want to get Ryoma...... I'm sorry, this is military supplies, I really can't handle it.
The scores of different five poisons are also different, with scorpions and centipedes scoring the lowest, spiders slightly higher, and snakes higher. The highest is the toad, basically there is only one toad in a game, and it takes a lot of life experience to catch it. After catching a toad, you can stuff it into the toad's mouth and hang it up to make a toad ingot, which is considered the winner's exclusive prize.
And whether it is an air battle or a land battle, it is not as exciting as a water battle. Dragon boat rowing is a tradition, the north and south campuses of the school are separated by mountains and rivers, and the river connecting the north and south campuses is just used for dragon boat racing. Originally, the dragon boat race was divided according to the department, but there was a big leak in the first session: the martial arts department brushed up twelve stick boys, all of whom were good at Neidanshu, and they played the jumping gang battle at the beginning, and knocked out the people from other families. In the end, the Five Elements set off a flood, and a jade stone was burned.
Therefore, the current dragon boat competition prohibits gang jumping and must correspond to their own boats, second, prohibits the water skills of the Five Elements Discipline, and solves problems on the boat, and third, requires students to organize their own teams to participate.
As a result, the current dragon boat races are much more regular than before: some rely only on one person to support the artemisia rowing, and the rest of the people are lined up with oars to form a spear formation; some are angry and let go of the monkeys, and the explosions are endless: some simply jump into the water and blast under other people's boats, anyway, the rules do not say that it is not allowed, but in this way there are fewer paddlers...... When the means of various departments are mixed together, it will be even more lively.
All in all, a gang of scourge naval, land and air forces are fighting in a scuffle, which is even more lively than a carnival.
Although it is not Mu Chang's business to leave them.
Mu Changli also got up early in the morning that day, and opened his eyes at half past six. As soon as he awoke, he saw Melanfer curled up beside him, like a kitten.
Mu Changli smiled slightly and pinched Mei Lanfu's nose with his hand. After about half a minute, Melanph began to inhale a little heavily. After another half a minute, she opened her eyes in a daze, and shook Mu Changli's hand with both hands.
Seeing this, Mu Changli let go of his hand, and sure enough, Mei Lanfu immediately closed her eyes again and began to sleep. He shook his head and began to reluctantly get up and wash. After washing herself, she helped Melanfer squeeze the toothpaste, then shook her awake, handed her a toothbrush and began to comb her hair.
Melanve's hair has been kept small until now, and it has never been cut, so it is not so easy to take care of it. When she was in the dormitory, she couldn't get it on her own, but luckily she had Irina's help. Mu Changli is very handy, and after combing it neatly, and then tie the hairband, the whole person is almost taken care of - the rest of the steps are not Mu Changli's helper.
Walking out of the door, Mu Changli knocked on the doors of the two rooms next door in turn, reminding the girls that it was time to get up. He himself went downstairs first and began to plan today's route. They stayed at a hotel not far from the little boy's house at night, and the room was booked by lawyer Pei in order to facilitate the day's action.
About fifteen minutes later, the girls also went downstairs. Irina also beckoned to Mu Changli: "Why did I come together in the morning and find that Lan Fu was actually gone?"
"Hmmm......"
Mu Changli was still thinking about how to explain this matter, and General Liu had already come out - today was the most violent, so he could also show himself at will during the day: "Mei Yatou sleepwalked past, almost midnight." β
Mu Changli couldn't help but look at General Liu with admiration: "You know it clearly enough. β
"I'm a ghost, of course I saw it when I stood guard outside the door in the middle of the night. β
Mu Changli recalled, probably ...... Seem...... Possible...... It seems like...... Forget it, I don't remember, anyway, General Liu, as a conservative ancient, has a much higher bottom line than modern people.
"Let's have breakfast first, and then we'll go around the neighborhood and visit separately. Mu Changli called up the map on his mobile phone and compared the range to the four girls, "I have already uploaded the photos of the missing people to the newly created WeChat group, but everyone should also pay attention to the caliber." In case there are still people left here in the Flower Shooting Party, it will be over. β
"And how do you ask?" Irina asked curiously, raising her hand.
Mu Changli looked at the four girls, and then realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the grouping. In his opinion, Mei Lanfu's dormitory belongs to the kind of three stupid people in a typical four, it would be good for Mei Lanfu to take care of herself, Irina is a typical single-celled creature, both Liuli and General Liu think things too simply, and the only reliable person is Wang Hui.
There is a famous saying that ten factions can be divided into four people in a girls' dormitory. This strict adherence to permutations is a joke, of course, but for the sake of a friend's request, I put all my skills into a five-figure dinner...... Wang Hui agreed that it was a matter of her own vision, and she was willing to hand over such an important matter to her friends in the same dormitory, and Liuli herself was naΓ―ve and tight.
And it's not just a matter of visiting, three of the four girls are too pretty. Especially Irina, not to mention being a foreigner, is still wearing a maid outfit, which is really conspicuous to death. Mu Changli groaned for a moment and asked Liuli, "Can you sense the ghosts around here?"
Liuli is a high-achieving student in the second year of the Imperial Spirit Department, and the C-level spell of [Spiritism] is the foundation of the foundation for her. She doesn't even have to prepare a ritual to be psychic like the beggars on the market, as long as her treasure knife "Taishan Treasure Ring" is in her hand, she can perform psychic anytime and anywhere.
Hearing Mu Changli say this, Liuli immediately held the knife in his hand and began to channel on the spot. At this time, it was not even seven o'clock in the morning, and it was the Dragon Boat Festival, and there were almost no people on the street. Even if someone who exercised passed by, all they saw was a little girl holding a knife in her backhand and taking a deep breath.
After closing his eyes and channeling for a while, Liuli Fang opened his eyes and pointed in one direction: "There is a ...... over there." A very noisy group of spirits. β
"Noisy?" is not a good word for spirits. This word often does not really mean that the spirits are noisy, but that the spirits are very quiet, and it is not good to harass the neighbors every once in a while.
Although the Demon Capital is known as the City of Ten Thousand Demons, is the municipal construction so bad?
Wait, I seem to have heard similar rumors, could it be......
Mu Changli suddenly remembered something, opened his mobile phone and searched it, and sure enough, it was so. He rolled his eyes, and said to General Liu next to him, "General Liu." β
"Huh?"
Mu Changli made a gesture that he listened to, and gestured to Liuli with his eyes, General Liu immediately understood, and floated over: "Since Liuli said that those ghosts are very noisy, I want to ask the general to inquire about it." β
"Such a rash action...... Not really, okay?" General Liu hesitated.
"The military order is like a mountain, general, you used to be in the army like this?" Mu Changli first threatened, and then began to persuade again, "Besides, among the five of us, only Liuli has learned spiritism. In case those ghosts want to possess you, the probability of something happening to Ruri must be the greatest - when you stare at the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you, General. β
In fact, there is a lot of truth in what this said, there is not much difference between psychic and possession, it is nothing more than which side dominates and causes the different names. Therefore, spiritism itself is a double-edged sword, and the practitioner is in danger of being occupied by the body when performing psychics.
"That'...... Okay, you're ready to take it, I'll go and go back. General Liu turned into a puff of green smoke and flew not far away.
In fact, the four girls could see that something was wrong, but they didn't understand what was wrong. Liuli asked a little curiously, "Brother Changli, do you let Uncle Liu go...... What the hell are you going to do?"
Mu Changli shook his head and didn't answer. In his place he answered, there was a scream that suddenly rose into the sky not far away and General Liu, who fled towards this side, followed by more than a dozen gray shadows.
"General, what are you running?"
"General, we've all broken the silence for you!"
"Yes, General, you have to take responsibility!"
General Liu fled all the way in embarrassment, and when he was chased tightly, he turned around and threatened: "Wait and retreat, believe it or not, General Ben will punish you for the crime of obstructing military affairs and cut you all down one by one?"
"General Woowoo Woo is going to cut people, I'm so scared!"
"When the general slashes, remember to use the knife on your waist, not the knife in your hand. β
That's right, Mu Changli remembered that there were indeed some ghosts that had not been cleaned up at the beginning. The reason why it wasn't cleaned up was that the mana of these ghosts was so low that they couldn't even show up at night, and they really couldn't harass ordinary people. And the existence of these ghosts can reflect the all-inclusive external image of the magic capital, so they have survived.
Mu Changli searched with his mobile phone just now, and found that there was a steamed bun nunnery in the place where the glass was pointing. The so-called "steamed bun" refers to actually "soil steamed bun", that is, the tomb bag, and the mantou nunnery is the nunnery.
It is said that it is a strange thing that there are ghosts in the place where the Buddha is recited, but in fact, after the advent of the Pure Land sect of convenience, the secularization of Buddhism has become more and more serious. Originally, the temple needed the approval of the imperial court to be built, and more and more people built it without permission. Some women left home after the festival, and the saying of Mantou Nunnery appeared.
Secularization has reached this point, and even if there are ghosts, it is not surprising. As for the noise...... I'm sure you've all seen it.
"Liuli, help me send a message to General Liu. Mu Changli stopped Liuli, who was about to rush forward with a knife, "Ask him to get out of the mouth of that group of female ghosts, the person we want to ask...... No, the family's recent movements. The nun is one of the three aunts and six wives, and they must know. β
After a while, Liuli replied with a little embarrassment: "Uncle Liu said that he won't do this kind of thing of betraying hue......"
"The military order is like a mountain. Mu Changli replied seriously, "Repeat it to me, the military order is like a mountain." β
