"Golden Autumn of Big Dreams"

"Light rain and coolness"

……

The glitzy hustle and bustle, the joy of the autumn harvest echoed in Daosi Town for a long time.

The villagers were in an endless stream, and under the leadership of the villagers, a torrent was formed, and they rushed to the altar in the north of the town.

Yuyi loves to join in the fun when he is a child, and he is naturally indispensable for this kind of occasion.

The altar in the north of the town is dedicated to many tablets, and the worship of the gods is essential every year in the town of Doji.

This year's autumn harvest, the villagers thought it was the blessing of the gods, after all, Daosi Town was in the east of the continent and the south of the continent, but it was only a bottom town, the land was barren, and there was not much food to be harvested.

But this year is an accident, the harvest season, naturally to sacrifice to the gods, thank the food, pray for the coming year's wind and rain.

Before the ritual began, the bottom of the altar was already dark, and the hands were folded and prayed silently.

Above the altar, there are the villagers and the young people, and then the villagers holding the sacrifices in their hands.

Yu Yi also participated in this kind of occasion a few times, and the sacrificial process was also familiar.

After a moment of silence, Lord Yu Qing waved his hand, and a few people led by Yu Yi under the altar hurriedly stepped forward, took out tools and began to take care of the altar.

This is also a custom in the town of Doji.

The elders said: "Clear the thatch, cut the hazelnut, kneel the grain and rice, and collect and protect." ”

This harvest is the god of the autumn harvest, the so-called: "a leaf of sycamore floating in the world, the harvest of the autumn back dipper" every year before the sacrifice, to take care of it, in order to show respect for the gods.

On weekdays, this altar is a forbidden place in the town, so you must not enter and leave at will.

After the pre-ceremony custom, Lord Yuqing held a long sword, dripping wine as a brake, strode forward, bowed high, and shouted: "Bow up, sacrifice to the gods!" ”

Hundreds of townspeople instantly boiled, sang loudly, stomped on the ground with their feet, and danced to the gods.

Yuyi also danced and sang loudly, looking presentable.

An hour later, the sacrificial god danced, and after the villagers shouted, several strong men in front of them grabbed pigs and sheep on the altar.

"The golden autumn sends dreams, animal husbandry is prosperous, live blood is sacrificed, and Wantai enters peace!"

The villager held a golden bell in his hand, swaying left and right, doing Taoism, and shouting loudly. When several strong men heard this, they raised their knives and stabbed them at the throat of the livestock.

Suddenly, blood poured out, and a piece of crimson fell on the altar, and the strong man took up his sword, cut off the head of the animal, and laid it with fragrant bluegrass to sacrifice to the gods.

Then Lord Yuqing took the good cinnamon wine pepper syrup in his hand and poured it slowly.

"Lord Harvest, God blesses me, I have a good harvest, all the townspeople of Daosi Town, worship you, and hope to bless the people!"

Lord Yuqing bowed his head and worshipped, bowed sincerely, and prayed loudly, as Lord Yuqing's voice fell, the townspeople below also knelt down and shouted!

"Harvest God, Hope to Bless the People"

"Harvest God, Hope to Bless the People"

……

One worship, one knock, one sacrifice and one prayer, the whole Taoist town is extraordinary. The festival lasted until the evening, and the townspeople were all smiling, and when they returned, they did not rest, but became busy.

After the ceremony, Yu Yi followed the fellow head back home, as for Lord Yu Qing, he still has to keep the sacrifice, it is estimated that he will have to leave tomorrow!

"O Arin! It's not early, let's go home with Grandpa Mu, your father is still guarding the sacrifice, and there is no one at home, so let's have dinner by the way! ”

Alin is Yuyi's nickname, everyone calls him that way on weekdays, and the villager's surname is Mu, but he is the township mayor of this Daosi town, so everyone calls him the villager.

The villager warmly invited Yu Yi to go home, but Yu Yi looked dumb, as if thinking about something, and replied slowly after a while!

"No, Grandpa Mu, my father told me to go home and cook by myself, and I will send one to Grandpa Qing in Zhenxi after I am done!"

Hearing this, the fellow showed disdain, this is not to Yuyi, but to Grandpa Qing in Yuyi's mouth.

This Qing grandfather came to Daosi Town twenty years ago, he is a drunkard on weekdays, and he does not farm with other people, do business, etc., the townspeople think that he will only swagger and deceive, saying that he can find out his fate and avoid blood disasters, so everyone hates him, only Lord Yuqing sees him pitiful, and will send some food on weekdays.

"This old guy is just too merciful for him, if your father hadn't stopped him, I would have kicked him out of town a long time ago, and your father is really. Why bother with this old drunkard, and let you go alone, how dangerous it is! ”

The fellow kept complaining, and the more he talked, the more angry he became, but Yuyi didn't care, he was very familiar with the road west of the town.

"Grandpa Mu won't, this is not a big deal, besides, I know this way, there is no danger!"

"Alas, Yu Qing is really blessed to have your son, you will inherit his position in the future, and it can be regarded as a blessing for Daosi Town, unlike me, I haven't seen my son for more than ten years, forget it, don't talk about it, be careful on the road, Grandpa Mu will go back first!"

The villager said that his mouth was already choked, and he called for Yuyi to go first, and he still kept telling Yuyi!

"Grandpa Mu, don't worry about me, you can go home quickly, the kid will come to you tomorrow!"

While running, Yuyi did not forget to turn around and wave goodbye to the fellow, and when the villager saw this, he smiled, responded, and went home.

Yuyi's home is in an alley in the town, after a while, Yuyi arrived home, he remembered his father's instructions, and went home to cook first, Uncle Ye next door also sent, his family sold meat and left a bag of Zangzi meat, after Yuyi thanked him, he cooked skillfully.

People living in this kind of poor and remote country, self-care ability is very strong, and Yuyi and perennial exercise, so stronger than his peers, skillful techniques, so that this fifteen-year-old boy has a bit of maturity, bronzed skin and this dim stove room to form a contrast, the boy is not handsome, but the facial features are slightly delicate, tall figure makes others envious.

After some manipulation, a sumptuous dinner was set out, and after packing it, Yuyi closed the door of the house and walked straight to the west of the town.

The road to the west of the town is remote, full of vegetation and trees, although there are no wild beasts, but now the night is dark, giving people a quiet and gloomy feeling, although Yuyi is fourteen or fifteen years old, but her heart is still worried, a little afraid, and she can't help but speed up her pace.

After crawling all the way, Yuyi finally arrived at Zhenxiqing's grandfather's residence, he was relieved, stepped forward slowly, and knocked politely on the door.

"Grandpa Qing, Alin is here, I'm here to bring you food, open the door!"

Yuyi shouted while knocking on the door, but no one responded after a while, so she couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and continued to shout, raising her voice!

"Grandpa Qing, are you at home?"

"Open the door!"

……

After calling for a long time, Yuyi had already had a dry mouth, and after a long time, she only heard an impatient voice.

"Why are you so late today? It's so rude to make the old man wait for so long! ”

"Grandpa Qing, today is the annual festival in the town, everyone went to participate, and it ended a little late, so I kept you waiting!"

Yu Yi hurriedly explained, slightly embarrassed and touched her head.

After a burst of footsteps, the door was gradually opened, and what greeted him was a sloppy old man, about sixty years old, dressed in a green robe, holding a jar of wine in his hand, his face was full of impatience, if he looked carefully, his facial features were slightly handsome, and there were not many wrinkles, if he was young, he must be a beautiful man.

Seeing the other party appear, Yu Yi first bowed politely, and then handed the food to the other party, but Grandpa Qing did not answer, just let Yu Yi put it on the table in the house, and he continued to drink the wine in his hand.

"What's the use of not learning well, worshipping any gods? Pure! ”

As soon as Yuyi entered the door, Grandpa Qing began to complain and criticize him for his sacrifice.

"It's the custom in the town, and the older generation does it"

Yu Yi also patiently explained, but Grandpa Qing was full of disgust and said, "Worship God, worship God, can God see your groveling prayers?" God is also selfish, and He doesn't care if you live or die! ”

Yu Yi was interested when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "That Grandpa Qing, is there really a god in this world?" Have you ever seen God? ”

Grandpa Qing glanced at Yuyi, and said angrily: "You don't care if he has it or not, even if there is, you can't see it now, besides, how is your kid's cultivation?" Has there been any progress? ”

Yu Yi replied with some embarrassment: "The kid is stupid, and he still can't absorb the qi into the body!" Carving out the Genkai Sea"

As soon as the words came out, Yuyi thought about being scolded, but Grandpa Qing was a little calm, and after taking a sip of wine, he said calmly: "You don't have to blame yourself too much, everything has a fixed number, just wait for the time to come, just let it be." ”

Tonight's Grandpa Qing's reaction was unexpected, and Yu Yi also wondered if he had heard it wrong, on weekdays, Grandpa Qing was very strict with him, and he was meticulous about little things, but Yu Yi didn't think much about it, hugged his hand and answered, and then stopped talking.

Grandpa Qing's face was solemn, and he sighed in a low voice and said, "Yuyi! Disaster is coming, and this may also be your fate, so waiting quietly is the best destination. ”

Yuyi listened with a puzzled face, and hurriedly asked, "Grandpa Qing, what did you say?" , what calamity? I don't understand it! ”

Grandpa Qing didn't explain, but said lightly: "That's it, you'll know right away, you won't practice today, you have insisted on bringing me food for so many years, grandpa will just give you a small gift!" ”

As he spoke, he got up and walked towards the room, leaving only Yu Yi scratching his head in place, and after a while, Grandpa Qing came out of the room with two things in his hands.

One was a short sword, the other looked like a ball of paper with something wrapped in it.

Grandpa Qing paced in front of Yu Yi and said slowly: "These three things are the old man's lifelong collection, and they will be passed on to you today, as for whether it is a chance or a disaster in the end, it all depends on you!" ”

Yu Yi looked surprised and asked, "Grandpa Qing, what are these?" ”

Grandpa Qing took out a short sword and explained: "The name of this sword is called: Fu A, about one foot eight long, it is a sacrificial thing of the gods, and it has many secrets that you need to explore."

Then he took out the paper ball and slowly opened it, and there was a bead inside.

"These two things, one is called: the boundary bead, and this piece of paper is called: Chapter 9. I won't say more, you can study it yourself, but in any case, you must keep these three things safe, and try to show them in front of others, especially the beads and paper."

Although Yu Yi had doubts, she didn't ask much, and after taking it slowly, she looked at it carefully, this Fu'a sword has a decent length and extremely excellent workmanship, and it is a first-class product at a glance. The bead was only the size of a thumb, surrounded by blue light, and looked mysterious, while the paper, called Chapter 9, was yellowish in color, without a word or picture on it, crumpled, and looked extremely ordinary.

After carefully putting away these three things, Yuyi suddenly knelt on her knees and kowtowed three times to Grandpa Qing.

"Grandpa Qing, thank you, Yuyi has learned from you for so long, in fact, you are also my master, but I am too stupid, I am afraid that I will insult your reputation"

Seeing Yuyi's actions and words, Grandpa Qing's heart fluctuated, with mixed tastes, and there were tears in his eyes, and he couldn't help but turn his back.

"You kid, the old man didn't say that he wanted to take you as an apprentice, you are so stupid, who dares to ask you! Hurry up and go home, it's not early today, don't delay the old man's rest! ”

"Then Yuyi will come to see you tomorrow, you should rest early!"

Saying that, Yu Yi walked out of the door, and Grandpa Qing also turned around at this moment, looked at the back of Yu Yi leaving, and muttered to himself.

"See you later, wait until you have the chance"

Although Grandpa Qing's words are straightforward, anyone can see that he is reluctant to give up on Yuyi.

Walking quickly, Yuyi quickly returned home, and Yuyi's father had not yet returned home, but he was used to this situation, and after a simple wash, he quickly went to bed.

During the night he had a dream, a long dream, and it was too chaotic to see.
