Chapter 101: Campfire Picnic
Bailu Miao Village under the cover of night is quiet and serene.
Thousands of orange, yellow, and red white lights spread from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and the stars shining in the night sky reflect each other, and from a distance, it seems that the sky and the earth no longer have any boundary, and the beauty is not like the world.
On the plains beyond the valley, it was a different story entirely.
Piles of bonfires were evenly spread out within a radius of hundreds of paces, and the stars surrounded a makeshift altar made of thick wooden stakes and thick planks in the middle, and the blazing light of the fire illuminated half of the sky.
Thousands of Miao people sat around the campfire, men and women, young and old, tasting home-brewed rice wine, talking and singing loudly, making the whole field filled with a lively and joyful atmosphere.
Campfire Picnic!
This is a long-standing tradition of the Hmong people, usually held during festive festivals or when welcoming dignitaries, and it is also an important gathering for the tribe to unite people's hearts and minds.
When Wei Changfeng, under the leadership of the Miao maid Shui Yunyao, came to the bonfire picnic banquet, Bai Qi, the patriarch of the Bailu tribe, Bai Haoran, the great Gu master, and Li Zongyang's master and apprentice were already waiting for him.
"Seniors, the juniors are late, please forgive me!"
Wei Changfeng hurriedly saluted them separately to apologize and express his apologies.
Bai Qi waved his hand and said, "Young Master Wei, you are not late, because the sacrifice will start in another moment. ”
His gaze suddenly froze, and he said meaningfully: "I didn't expect to see him for a long time, but Wei Gongzi's cultivation has improved again, which is really gratifying!"
Wei Changfeng's heart froze, the other party was really powerful. He could actually see through at a glance that he had just been promoted to the Seventh Heaven of Body Refining.
"The senior's eyes are like torches. Admire the juniors!"
Bai Qi laughed and said, "That's nothing." Let's sit down, everybody!"
The patriarch of the White Deer Clan was obviously in a very good mood, and warmly beckoned everyone present to take their seats.
Warm and thick cashmere carpets, finely carved sandalwood tables, delicate white porcelain tableware, fragrant aged wine and beautiful Miao maids, the Bailu tribe's hospitality to VIPs may not be as luxurious as the famous families of Daqin, but it is enough to leave a deep impression.
He was accompanied by five or six elders from the tribe.
Bai Qi personally poured a bowl of wine for Wei Changfeng and said, "Master Wei, our Miao people have clear grievances, and you saved my daughter." That's my benefactor Bai Qi, please drink this cup to the full!"
"The patriarch is serious!"
Wei Changfeng hurriedly took the wine bowl with both hands and said, "The junior is really scared!"
He drained the bowl in one gulp.
Bai Qi nodded with satisfaction, and then poured the second and third bowls for Wei Changfeng.
Meeting three bowls of wine is the etiquette of Miao people's hospitality, and the wine is poured by the patriarch himself, which is the highest courtesy, and not everyone can be qualified to enjoy it - Dugu Shen, the master of the martial arts academy who left a few days earlier, did not have that life!
According to the rules, Wei Changfeng must not refuse, even if he is polite, it is disrespectful to the master's family, so he drank three bowls of wine in a row. There is no ambiguity.
Just drank more than a pound of liquor on an empty stomach in one go, and Wei Changfeng felt that his stomach began to turn upside down. The rush of alcohol made his face flush!
"Good!"
Bai Qi smiled and gave him a thumbs up, and praised: "He is worthy of being the young hero of the Upper Court of Jingyun Martial Academy!"
Wei Changfeng sat down, exhaled a strong sip of wine, and said with a wry smile: "The seniors have praised it." ”
Immediately afterwards, Bai Qi also saluted Li Zongyang three bowls of wine.
Although it is the same courtesy, there is also a difference in the order before and after, obviously in Bai Qi's mind, Wei Changfeng's importance is greater than that of this Great Dan Master of the Great Qin Dan Academy!
After Li Zongyang drank three bowls of wine, everyone was free and casual, and there was no need for any formality.
"Wei Gongzi!"
Wei Changfeng was about to pick up the dim sum on the table to fill his stomach first, when a young man sitting next to Li Zongyang picked up a wine bowl and said to him, "I toast you!"
This young man was Li Zongyang's disciple, and he and another female disciple followed their own master and occupied a place in the VIP seat.
He was not very convinced by Wei Changfeng before, but now that he saw that Bai Qi's courtesy to Wei Changfeng was even higher than Li Zongyang's, his heart was even more unhappy, so he picked the opportunity to stand up.
"I'll do it first for respect!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he drank the wine in his bowl with a clatter.
said that it was a glass, but it was actually a bowl of spirits with three or four taels, and this disciple of Li Zongyang undoubtedly saw Wei Changfeng's incomprehensible appearance, and wanted to take the opportunity to make the latter a little ugly.
He was a little clever and knew that his actions were presumptuous, so he drank a bowl of it himself, so that no one else could say much.
If Wei Changfeng is not fooled and doesn't drink, then he can be regarded as sweeping Wei Changfeng's face.
It's just that most of the people present are old and spicy characters, how can they not see his little thoughts, and they all laugh and don't say anything, which makes Li Zongyang a little embarrassed.
The Great Dan Master coughed and said, "Master Wei, this is my apprentice Chen Bufan, who is usually unruly, I still have to honor you for this bowl of wine!"
Li Zongyang didn't want to pour Wei Changfeng's wine in person, but this apprentice of his was too presumptuous, although Wei Changfeng was only a disciple of the upper courtyard of Jingyun Martial Academy, but now he was a distinguished guest of the White Deer Clan.
Therefore, Chen Bufan was the first to jump out after Bai Qi to pay tribute to Wei Changfeng's wine, which was obviously too reckless.
It's just his own apprentice, Li Zongyang still has to maintain it, so he took the initiative to take over the matter.
With his identity, it's completely different.
Wei Changfeng smiled: "The seniors are too polite, then I'll drink a bowl first, and then I will salute the seniors a bowl!"
Li Zongyang and Bai Qi are different, the latter took the initiative to toast three times because Wei Changfeng saved his beloved daughter and regarded Wei Changfeng as a benefactor, so it was well-deserved and etiquette.
But if Wei Changfeng takes the initiative to toast Li Zongyang with a big grin, it will be no distinction between dignity and inferiority!
No matter how you say it, Li Zongyang is his predecessor.
What kind of character is Wei Changfeng, how could he make such a low-level mistake?
He asked Shui Yunyao, who was serving beside him, to pour himself two bowls of wine, drink one bowl first, and then toast Li Zongyang with one bowl.
"This son is extraordinary!"
Wei Changfeng's humble and polite response made Li Zongyang secretly admire it in his heart.
He glared at Chen Bufan dissatisfied.
Compared to Wei Changfeng, his apprentice is really too uncompetitive!
Chen Bufan's face was flushed and he lowered his head, and he didn't know if it was because of his shame or the strength of the wine.
And after these two bowls of wine, Wei Changfeng's face actually returned to normal, and his eyes became clear again.
Not only that, but after paying tribute to Li Zongyang, he also saluted Bai Qi in return to show respect!
Bai Qi, Bai Haoran, and the clan elders present all felt very surprised when they saw it.
The rice wine in the cellar of their Bailu tribe is mellow and strong, ordinary people can't afford to get drunk if they drink a bowl, and the martial artist has a better physique and can drink a few more bowls, but unless he is born invincible or has reached the innate realm, five or six bowls is the limit.
Wei Changfeng drank three bowls before, obviously a little overwhelmed, but now he drank three bowls in a row as if nothing happened, it seems that it is not a problem to continue to drink ten bowls and eight bowls, it is really puzzling!
In fact, they didn't know that Wei Changfeng's cultivation had the Taixu Nine Heavens Zhengyang Heart Technique, and the condensed Taixu Dan Jin could dissolve thousands of foreign qi and foreign powers, and it couldn't be easier to deal with just a few wine strengths.
As long as he wants or his stomach can hold it, it doesn't matter how much he wants to drink.
It's just that he really wants to drink it, and he can't drink a few bowls right now, because the time of the campfire picnic has arrived!
Woo~
The majestic sound of the horn sounded, and in an instant it spread everywhere, echoing for a long time among the mountains in the distance.
The Miao people who participated in the bonfire field stopped talking, laughing and singing, they put down the wine bowl in their hands, and stood up in unison to look in the direction of Miao Village, their expressions all became solemn and solemn.
I saw a long procession out of the walled city and slowly walked towards the place where the altar was.
Walking in front of the team were eight strong Miao warriors, who wore their upper bodies and carried two colorful tigers with thick logs and ropes respectively!
The tigers are obviously alive, but they are tied up and strong, and they have no claws to threaten them.
Behind them were thirty-six samurai in the same attire, only the latter was carrying nine horned oxen, which were also tied.
These horned cows have shiny fur and are strong and strong, and they are all first-class jack bulls.
On either side of the procession, dozens of samurai with torches lit the way.
Under the watchful eyes of thousands of Miao people, the procession finally came to the front of the altar.
They lowered the tiger and horned oxen in turn, lined them up neatly on the ground, and then left eleven samurai armed with Miao swords to stand guard beside the tiger ox.
At this time, Bai Qi left his seat and walked straight to the altar.
He faced south and said in a deep voice: "All the people of the White Deer Clan, we are here today to feast two distinguished guests from afar, they are the Wei Chang Feng Wei Gongzi of the Great Qin Jingyun Martial Academy, and Li Zongyang Li Master of the Great Qin Dan Academy!"
Bai Qi's voice was not loud, but it was clearly transmitted to the ears of everyone present.
"The two distinguished guests have brought luck and hope to our Bailu tribe, which is also the blessing given to us by Wazu Niangniang, let us welcome their arrival together, and thank Wazu Niangniang for their protection!"
"Wazu Niangniang is on top!"
All the Miao people let out a deafening cheer in unison, and the atmosphere of the picnic reached a climax in an instant!
"Wazu Niangniang is on top!"
Wei Changfeng, who was in it, felt the impact of sound waves from all directions one after another, and he was completely able to understand the fiery and simple emotions of these Miao people.
His mind was deeply shaken!
