Chapter Twenty-Six: The End of the Red Dust, Bloody Bath of Mount Tai (I)
Xianghong carried the nameless to the west, through the dense woods, stumbling along the way, about half a day's effort, in front of their field of vision, a towering mountain range stood in front of them, at the foot of the mountain there is a village looming in the sunset, like a brown mushroom emerging from the mountain wetland, the countryside lies quietly at the foot of the dragon-like mountain, the green trees and green forests cover the farmhouse, the fragrance of flowers and birds entangle the farmhouse, the crops and fruit trees surround the farmhouse, at this time the sunset is like a soft ribbon to wrap the countryside, A cool night breeze blows slowly, sending a warm earthy smell and the faint fragrance of crops; The night breeze is like a pot of old wine, and the trees and pines in front of and behind the house are slightly drunk, and the small branches and leaves are swinging around, making some rustling sound of drizzle. The glow shines through the gaps in the leaves, like fine flowers, pouring into the courtyard dotted, and a few windows are dyed with salallow light, faintly transmitting through the veil and blending into the moonlight.
Xianghong's eyes lit up as if she had been thirsty for a long time to meet Ganlin, and she suddenly became excited, and said to Nameless: "Childe, Childe, wake up quickly, there is a village in front, we don't have to sleep in the open tonight." ”
Nameless licked his dry lips, barely opened his eyes, smiled, looked at her, and seemed to express his joy for her to discover a new continent, and then said to Xianghong gratefully: "Thank you for your hard work, I really don't know how to thank you for walking so far behind my back." I don't want to go. Let me down, I'll go by myself. ”
Xianghong was very angry, put Nameless on the ground, and said angrily to Nameless: "You, you, you, you say again, I ignore you, your life is saved by you, you still say this to me, how can I be embarrassed?" After speaking, he snuggled up in Nameless's arms with a crimson face.
After resting for a while, Xianghong once again put on his nameless back and walked towards the village.
After Xianghong and the two entered the village, they knocked on the door of a farmer's house, and Xianghong apologized to the owner and said: "I'm sorry old man, we husband and wife got lost here, I hope to stay here for one night tonight, I don't know what the old man thinks?" ”
The old man hurriedly welcomed them into the house, and then said, "Everyone is a family, so don't be so polite." Our Ji Ze clan hasn't had anyone here for a long time, so I'll notify the whole clan to come and celebrate together tomorrow. ”
The old man continued, "Let's rest early!" Call me if you need anything, and I'm right next door. "With that, he left."
Nameless said to Xianghong: "Xiaohong, you are tired for a day, you lie down and rest!" I'm by your side tonight. ”
Xianghong said: "Childe is injured, or you are lying in bed, I will make up for one night." With that, he pulled Nameless towards the bed.
Nameless took advantage of the situation and took Xianghong tightly into his arms, Xianghong struggled desperately, and said: "Childe, don't be like this, didn't we say that we should keep our distance before worshipping?" ”
Nameless pulled Xianghong towards the door and came to the courtyard, and then, both knelt on the ground, and said namelessly: "The sky is above, Mingyue testifies, I am nameless." ”
Xianghong: "I'm Xianghong." ”
Nameless: "Now the two of us are officially married, the mountains are edgeless, the heavens and the earth are united, and they are not separated, and they will always be united and will never lose each other." ”
After speaking, the two kowtowed three times in a row to show that they were married.
Nameless said with a wry smile: "When others get married, they are all picked up by ox carts, mansions, and maids, but we are not our own, but the waning moon, dead trees, mountains, sky, and broken houses are not our own." ”
Xianghong smiled and said, "It's not your own, that's what you call the grand pie?" This is called a match made in heaven, more precious than anything else? ”
The two walked into the bedroom and said namelessly: "Our hometown has the habit of making a hole in the house, but tonight, I am going to make a hole in the hole room myself" After speaking, hahaha laughed.
Xianghong scratched the nameless itch with her hand, and the two of them made trouble until late at night before slowly falling asleep.
As soon as the next day dawned, the old man called the two of them up and said, "Today is the day when Bixia Yuanjun ascends to heaven, and at this time of year, the whole clan, regardless of age, will go to worship Bixia Yuanjun." ”
Xianghong asked in surprise: "Uncle, who is this Bixia Yuanjun!"
I saw that the old man stroked his gray beard and said with a smile: "Bixia Yuanjun is the head god who protects all beings, responds to Kyushu, commands the gods of Yuefu, and takes care of the good and evil in the world. For thousands of years, there has never been a famine in our clan. ”
Xianghong said: "Then we can also meet this Bixia Yuanjun grandmother today." After saying that, he took Nameless's hand and was about to walk out.
I saw the old man come over and said: "Girl, don't be so anxious, at present, this Taishan (Mount Tai was originally called Taishan, not the name of the current Mount Tai) jackals, tigers and leopards are raging, in addition, in recent years, our clan has often been harassed by another tribe in Taishan, the Feng Boling clan, and the Shuang Jiu clan in Qingzhou also kills our tribe at every turn, we are not under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou, but they want us to pay taxes." If you don't obey at all, you will meet each other, hey, now my tribe is also in a situation of many disasters and difficulties. Therefore, this sacrifice to Bixia Yuanjun is of great significance to our tribe. It is related to whether my tribe can spend the next year safely. ”
Nameless said: "Don't worry too much, uncle, as long as everyone is united, I believe that all the difficulties will pass." ”
The old man said: "I hope so! Heaven willing. ”
Nameless Xianghong was led by the old man to the gathering place of the villagers.
The old man waved his hand, and the audience was silent for a moment, and then said: "Today is the annual ceremony of our clan to worship Bixia Yuanjun, and at the same time, our clan has two guests, and they will be our clansmen in the future, everyone must unite with each other, and there can be no slightest neglect of him." ”
Everyone cheered for this and said, "Ji Zeshi remembers the ancestral teachings, unity, friendship, hospitality, and tolerance. ”
The old man nodded, and continued: "Now the patriarch announces the official opening of the worship ceremony. ”
I saw an old man come to the front desk. Facing everyone: "Blind date, in recent years, our clan has suffered a huge crisis, first, the bullying and harassment of the Feng Boling clan, and second, the bullying of the Shuang Jiu clan. 3. The Xia Dynasty was tyrannical. As a result, the situation of our clan has deteriorated, from a large tribe of more than 10,000 people, and now there are only more than 2,000 of us left, and this situation is still deteriorating, so today our clan must take out the most pious heart to worship our Bixia Yuanjun and bless the prosperity of our clan. ”
As he spoke, he was already in tears, wiped his moist eyes with a handkerchief, and continued: "Handsome and martial young men, beautiful and generous girls of the Ji Ze clan, are your gifts ready?" ”
"It's all set." Everyone replied in unison.
The patriarch said, "Very good, very good, let's go!" With the patriarch's order, the team walked towards Taishan.
Known as the world's first mountain reputation of Taishan, under the moisture of spring, all things are vibrant, the flowers and plants of purple and red, the towering mountains are dressed up more beautifully, the woman who seems to be tender and like water snuggles in the arms of men, the mountains are beautiful, Tianzhu Peak is like an optimus giant pillar, connected between heaven and earth, the dense air permeates the peaks, as if it can be called a fairyland on earth, even the heavenly palace is difficult to compare with it.
The team passed through the trickling Wenshui, and in a blink of an eye it had reached the foot of the mountain, and the patriarch took the lead, overcoming all the thorns and thorns all the way, until three o'clock in the afternoon, when everyone reached the top of the mountain.
However, the moment they reached the top of the mountain, a lurking crisis had quietly descended, and the Feng Boling clan had quietly lurked at various intersections of their descent from the mountain.
