Hearing Wu Zhen ask like this, everyone looked at him and smiled, he understood, this question was asked by his son Wu Cheng more than once, and the only correct answer was more than once. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Shui Rong certainly knew his thoughts, and explained: "Many, many years ago, there was a way in and out, that is, through a hole, into the Dragon Gorge, and then out of the Dragon Gorge, other than that, there was no second way.

After a pause, Shui Rong continued: "However, Longxia is firmly controlled by our great enemy, the Dan tribe, and we are like being choked by him. In the past, our Eagle tribesmen went to Longxia from that cave to seek revenge on the Dan tribe, and at the same time recaptured the passage in and out, but the result was that many times ended in failure, and many people did not return. Later, after a heavy rainstorm, the inside of the cave collapsed, and it was never able to get out. We, the eagle tribe, have been like eagles in a cage from now on, unable to fly even if we have wings. If you don't die, you have to die. ”

When Shui Rong said this, he found that with his own story, the mood of all the people present began to become heavy, and he laughed: "However, good and bad are connected, and this is not all bad." Since it is very chaotic outside, and there is no way out, no one can enter, and Longbaokeng is a blessed land, a treasure land. ”

Wu Zhen understands that there is no need to think about the fact that there is no need to think about it anymore.

Wu Zhen has long been relatively weak about fame, and the most uncomfortable thing at this time is that she can no longer see Wu Fang and Wu Ni and her children in this life, tears start from the bottom of her heart, and she looks up and sighs: "The high valley is isolated, the world is also isolated, and the relatives are even more isolated!"

With this long sigh, everyone was drunk. After a while, they accepted the occasion and went to see Zhou Gong.

The time of Longbaokeng does not slow down because of the high mountain barrier, and it is also like an arrow off the string, and dozens of days have passed.

It was the night of the full moon in the middle of autumn.

The full moon, hanging high, the breeze is light, the osmanthus is fragrant, Xinglong Bay, Wanglong Bay, Jielong Bay, and Zuilong Bay in the Longbao Pit each came to more than 20 people, more women and fewer men, less and more old and young, gathered in Longbao Village.

Tonight's theme is the worship of the moon god, one of the major festivals in Longbaokeng, and the preparations for the ceremony began half a month ago, and at this time it was ready.

It is the right of the royal family to worship the heavens, the earth, the sun and the moon, but in the dragon treasure pit that does not follow the weekly rites, it is the privilege of ordinary women.

Moreover, due to the extremely low altitude of Longbaokeng, which may even be negative, the special geographical location allows them to find that the full moon is also a divine object that brings them more salt water, so they do not worship the salt god alone, but worship it together with the moon god, two in one. Obviously, this custom only appeared after they entered the Dragon Treasure Pit. Perhaps, this is the only one in the world.

Tonight, there is no need for a bonfire, and the large stone dam in the front yard of Longbaozhai is warmly and concisely arranged.

Tonight, the people of Longbaokeng put on a variety of festive makeup, some are linen, some are kudzu, some are all kinds of rattans, as well as bark, leaves, animal skins, and bird feathers, it is like an ancient and simple fashion show is about to begin.

Tonight, the protagonists, or performers, are women, who go to the heavenly baths and hot springs in the back mountains before it gets dark, and change into new clothes that they think are the most brilliant.

The men are tonight's audience, or supporting actors, young and old, sitting directly on the clean stone dam and sitting around.

The ceremony began.

First of all, all the women present began to perform a kind of song and dance.

A man knocked on a set of thirteen stone chimes that had been placed on the stone dam earlier, and the low voice was particularly solemn, and the women danced around a small sacrificial platform in the center of the dam, which was not luxurious.

This is a group dance, and it is impossible to see who is the lead dancer, that is, everyone is the protagonist. This dance is called the Moon Dance.

The men in the dragon treasure pit are obviously accustomed to this annual dance, some watching intently, others talking to each other.

If you want to say that the best audience, it must be the Wu three, in their opinion, this dance is very novel, but it is not complicated.

Originally, the Shui Rong Woman invited Lady Wu to dance together, but Lady Wu said that she wanted to observe first, so she sat next to Wu Zhen's left side and became the only female audience.

The song and dance continued, and the witch lady looked up at the bright and lonely full moon in the sky, and missed her hometown, the full moon was not full, and she missed her daughter and eldest son. It wasn't until I heard the women's singing suddenly change their tune and become louder that they lowered their heads.

Undoubtedly, Wu Zhen was the most serious audience tonight, and he did not notice Madame's thoughts, but was observing the unique movements of the Moon Sacrifice Dance, guessing the meaning of some of the movements.

The men in the village, including Wucheng and Shui Hua, were on the left, with their faces facing the dancing women.

Wu Cheng hadn't seen so many people's brains for a long time, although it was really thin compared to the outside, he only saw colorful women, and didn't see the meaning of their dance moves.

The dance is not too long or intense, giving a sense of serene pleasure.

As the last note of the stone chime floated into the full moon in the sky, the women's dance stopped. All kinds of sounds also seemed to have disappeared suddenly, except for the sound of running water in the small stream called Zhuxi in front of Longbaozhai.

The men remained in their original positions as if the event had nothing to do with them, but from this point on, none of them moved, bobbed their heads, or exchanged their heads or ears, as if they were living sculptures deliberately placed for the sacrificial ceremony.

The Lady of the Melting Waters was the main priest tonight, and the Witch Lady also got up, for she was invited as the only tribute of the day, and the two sisters, Shui Jing and Narcissus, were the deacons. The other women stood behind them, all of them raising their heads and looking at Chang'e's home in the sky with serious expressions.

In fact, tonight's altar is just a square table of intricately crafted logs, which is the masterpiece of the carpenter's master Mizuwa.

There were incense burners on several of them, and by this time they had already lit a spice peculiar to the dragon treasure pit according to a familiar procedure.

There are also plates and bowls on the square table, which contain sacrifices such as pepper beans, and the three wine lords contain the drunkenness of the immortals, and there is a wild wolf that has only been hunted today-this is an unfortunate and fortunate wolf, because in the legend of the Longbaokeng people, it was sacrificed to the moon god tonight as a stand-in for the wolf.

Wucheng, a native of Chu, had never seen how the people of Chu worshiped the moon, so he didn't know how different the rituals here were from his hometown, and he didn't have much interest in this activity.

"Cai!" The sudden cheers woke up Wucheng, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that the moon sacrifice ceremony had ended at some time, and the older women such as the mother and the Shui Rong woman, as well as the father and the older men such as Shui Rong, had left at some point; the sacrificial table and the sacrificial offerings on it were also taken away by the moon god; Shui Hua, who was still sitting beside him just now, had already stood opposite at this time, holding a Tao Xun in his hand.

It turned out that the sacrificial ceremony had ended, and the young people began to dance and sing freely. All of a sudden, the men and women giggled - it was the cheers of the crowd at the end of the first show that woke up Wucheng.

At the beginning of the second program, Wucheng saw Shui Hua blowing Tao Xun, Song Qingqing, the son of the elder of Wanglongwan who only met today, played the bamboo flute, and a young man in Longbao Village hit the bamboo tube for the rhythm, and some people made other musical instruments all earth, bone, stone and other products.

Wu Cheng has little interest in music, let alone research, except for the strange shape and sound of the instruments in their hands, and cannot name most of them, and has no intention of studying them in detail.

Shui Jing, Narcissus, Shui Xiang, Shui Ping, and the four girls from Siwan who met for the first time in Wucheng danced to the rhythm of the bamboo knot at the place where the women worshiped the moon just now.

The girls' dance is still not intense, but gentle.

Immediately the hero, the beauty under the moon, under the full moon, the beauty is even more beautiful. Wu Cheng looked at it casually, his eyes were on the dancing narcissus, and he secretly praised: "It's really like a fairy in the moon, even if Chang'e descends to earth, it's nothing more than that!"

After a while, I listened to the eight daughters singing:

The moon and the moon, hanging in the air,

Are you alone, are you afraid or not?

Don't just look, don't say a word,

Your thoughts, I guess not bad.

It's better to come, in the dragon treasure pit,

Wanwan households, all your home.

Yue'er Yue'er, I want to ask you,

Where did you go the other night?

In the middle of the night, I wanted to ask a question,

You burrow into the clouds, and answer shyly,

Isn't it afraid, I'm sad again,

Hide in the clouds, and don't see my tears.

The moon is round and big,

Give it to me, tell me the truth,

At night in Zhuxi, the man was scolded,

Is he not, dying:

The eyes are in a daze, the mouth is numb,

I don't think about drinking or eating, and I can't sleep......

Wucheng is half drunk, listening to a few daughters singing, the tone is very beautiful, but the meaning is very simple and funny.

This song is over, it is a duet between men and women, first Shui Hua sang a song with a woman with a round face and a full chest, Wu Cheng heard that this woman is Shui Hua's unmarried woman, it is rare to listen carefully.

Shui Hua sang with the woman very hard, and Wu Cheng laughed secretly.

Next, Song Qingqing of Wanglong Bay handed the bamboo flute to a young man and came up to ask Narcissus to sing a duet. Just listen to the two of them singing:

Male: Sister Jiuwen, it's a flower, but it's a pity that she was born here, thorny hedges,

If it is moved to my soil, and the rain is moistened, it will be wonderful.

F: Although you have a thick face, your mouth is thin, and you don't play tricks, you only talk nonsense.

Good flowers grow in, from the homeland, which wants you, a lump of mud

......

Wu Cheng saw that Song Qingqing had a beautiful face and a good talent, and saw him singing emotionally as he watched Narcissus, his hair, eyebrows, eyes, nose, hands and feet were all love, very sour, and said secretly: "Listen to Shui Hua, he is a man of Narcissus, and he is really blessed." ”

Under the accompaniment of male and female voices, Wu Cheng began to think wildly: "In the sinkhole, there is neither a sword shadow on the battlefield, nor more satisfactory entertainment programs, even death, it is so silent, if it is really impossible to get out, it is really difficult, let alone survive until old age and death." ”

These days, he was extremely bored, and finally found that in the sinkhole, the only thing that has the effect of eliminating boredom is the beauty, who is thinking about how to start, but he learns that this lovely beauty is about to become someone else's wife.

Thinking of this, Wu Cheng actually found that he had never been so lost tonight, and he was even more bored. He often said that he was full of lust and lust, and he was bored and lustful, and he replayed the beauties he had seen in Chu State one by one in his mind, but the final conclusion was: They are not as beautiful as the beauty in front of him, which is both beautiful and pure and simple, and is also the most realistic, and he can't help but think about it again.

When it was the turn of the next pair of men and women to sing a duet, Wu Cheng suddenly thought: "She hasn't officially married yet, how can she give it up!" It's better to give that kid a little gift, otherwise, he doesn't know how big the sky is outside, and then he will come to Longbaozhai again to get in the way." ”
