For the Mongolian people on the Peacock Ping grassland, the traditional form of Ao Bao sacrifice is roughly "blood sacrifice, sprinkle sacrifice, and fire sacrifice". The first is the blood sacrifice, that is, the slaughter of strong cattle and fat sheep and the enshrinement in front of Ao Bao. Nowadays, this method of blood sacrifice is not used much, except in very special and important circumstances. The second is the sprinkling ceremony, that is, the "sprinkling ceremony", that is, sprinkling fresh milk, cream, milk wine and other things in front of the Ao Bao to pray for happiness, and later added sacrifices such as liquor and snacks. The third is the fire sacrifice, that is, in front of the Ao Bao pile of dry branches or dry cow and horse dung to ignite, the sacrificers line up around the fire three times, while turning around while reciting their own surname, and then offer offerings, and even put the whole sheep into the fire. The more the fire burns, the better, because it symbolizes prosperity.

Later, some special rituals were derived from the Ao Bao Festival, of course, which varied greatly from region to region. Mongolian herdsmen on the Peacock Ping grassland, if they do not want to relocate or it is inconvenient for their families to offer Buddha statues, they have to move away the stones of Ao Bao on the nearby mountains, put the Buddha statues inside, and then pile up the stones as they are.

This time, the Sarentai Gacha herdsmen's sacrifice to Ao Bao is a spontaneous action with only one purpose - to pray for the blessing of the "heroic mother" Matoya!

…………

Before the action, when planning this Ao Bao sacrifice activity, Tong Enhe specially convened several elders and influential young people in Gacha to discuss. This does not include Gacha's cadres.

Everyone sat around Tong Enhe's house, drinking freshly boiled milk tea and talking about their thoughts.

Tong Enhe said: Praying for Matoya is our own initiative, and the people of Gacha voluntarily participate, so there is no need to force it, which is why I did not look for Secretary Bai Baozhu and Alatan Cang Gachada them. Let's talk about what form is better.

Double Happiness couldn't wait to say: Of course, it is the highest "blood sacrifice"! I will produce a sheep and go to my place to catch the best.

The induction cooker bought for Toya's family has not yet been delivered, and Shuangxi is very willing to contribute to the sacrifice of Ao Bao.

Laiwang echoed: Yes, I will also produce one! In order to pray for Matoya's blessing, I am willing to do it.

Yushan, who had just returned from Ajinai's pastoral point, teased him: Come to Wang, are you really willing? Look at your daughter-in-law and won't clean you up when she goes back.

Laiwang laughed, and some others laughed along, and some were silent.

Tong Enhe said: Don't be joking, this is a serious matter!

The person who was still laughing just now quickly stopped it, embarrassed by his gaffe.

Tong Enhe said again: By the way, I forgot to praise our Yushan just now, I helped Aginai take care of the pasture in the past few days, and I had to take care of the two families in the first two days, and it would be better for Huhelu to go back. It's really hard.

Yushan scratched his head very unnaturally and said: This is nothing.

Double Happiness once again said: Uncle Tong, I am really willing to produce a sheep, and both are no problem!

Some people also expressed their willingness to give out sheep, Tong Enhe looked at the other elders and asked: What do you think?

One of the elders said: Everyone's mood is understandable, but I don't think this "blood sacrifice" is appropriate, this prayer is more special, try not to see blood.

Others nodded and noncommittal.

Tong Enhe said: I also agree with not engaging in "blood sacrifices". I think so, this Ao Bao Festival must be frugal, several people have said that they can take out the sheep to "blood sacrifice", I think it is better to save the sheep and sell the money to donate to Matoya, which is more affordable.

Double Happiness is eager to express its opinion: I agree! In addition, this "fire sacrifice" is probably even more inappropriate, right?

Tong Enhe: yes. Because of the fire, talking about the change of fire color, we must not use "fire sacrifice" this time, it can be regarded as a kind of evasion.

"Then you have to use the 'sprinkle sacrifice'? This is better, everyone can participate, there are wine shops, there are milk shops, including fried rice, dim sum, sugar cubes. An old man offered his opinion.

Everyone nodded.

Shuangxi suddenly thought that all this had been planned a long time ago, so he asked: Uncle Tong, do you already have a score in your heart, why do you deliberately want to ask everyone?

Tong Enhe pretended to be angry and glared at Shuangxi, and said: Usually everyone says that you are a straight kid, and it's true. This is a big guy's business, and we must discuss it together, how can I be the master alone?

Lai Wang and Yushan coaxed and criticized Shuangxi, and Shuangxi's face turned a little red.

Tong Enhe: Now that the general direction has been set, let's discuss the specific details......

This discussion was discussed until late at night. As a result, there was a smooth progress of the Ao Bao Festival for Matoya's blessing.

…………

The weather is sunny and the grasslands are bright.

The elder man who walked in front held the sacrifice in his hand and looked solemn. The man walking in the second row is holding a blue hata in his hand. The herdsmen who followed behind religiously carried items such as wine and milk.

When they arrived in front of Ao Bao, under the command of Tong Enhe, the sacrifices were arranged, and everyone stood in line.

Tong Enhe led the sacrifice and sang the blessing speech: The Holy Ancestor is above, and the blessing is on the Peacock Ping Grassland, Taogs Sumusa, Rentai, Gacha Matoya. self-sacrificing to save others, heroic feats, admired by thousands of people; The loss of his beloved son, the fire burned and the serious injury, and the people wept! Today, all the herdsmen of Sarentai sincerely pray to the Immortal Heaven and bless Matoya with a speedy recovery and return to the grassland......

Tong Enhe sang the traditional "Song of Ao Bao" with everyone——

You can see it from afar to the west

It is the peak on which the Holy Ancestor jumped on horseback

Thirteen Ao Bao neatly arranged

Worship of the patriarch Hassar

……

You can see it from afar in the East

It is a large mountain peak that towers into the sky

Thirteen Ao Bao in a neat row

It is the sacrifice of the Peacock Ping grassland

……

You can see it from afar to the south

It is two peaks like a jade pillar

Thirteen Ao Bao neatly arranged

It is a symbol of prosperity

……

The north can be seen from afar

It is a sacred peak where ancestors once lived

Thirteen Ao Bao in a neat row

It is a symbol of boundless good fortune

……

After singing, he began to respectfully offer Hada to Ao Bao.

Tong Enhe led everyone to circle around Ao Bao clockwise, and from time to time spilled the wine and milk in his hand on Ao Bao, and threw dairy products and candy into Ao Bao......

…………

"White Dragon Horse" returned to the pasture, but lost its "dragon nature" and "horse soul".

On the slope of the pasture hill, Bai Aginaimu lay there in a daze, his beard had not been shaved for a long time, his face may not have been washed for a few days, and he picked up a wine bottle from time to time and drank a few sips.

Agina usually doesn't say anything, and he keeps everything in his heart, and during this time, he even uses wine to drown his sorrows. When he got drunk, he took the big black dog "Hari" as the object of confiding, and said more than he usually said in a year.

"Hari" lay down beside his master, his eyes fixed on the sheep in the distance.

Agina took a sip of wine, touched the head of "Hari", and said: "Hari", don't look at it, these sheep will not be with us in a few days.

"Hari" made two "Wang" sounds.

Agina took another sip of wine and said, "What? Are you reluctant? If you don't sell it, you can't do it. "Hari", you say, is it not okay not to sell? "Hari", you say, why is Mattoya so stupid? If—
