Chapter 597: Midyear Festival

As the Hummer walked through the streets of Tokyo, Lin Yu was concentrating on his posture, completely oblivious to the awkward atmosphere caused by his words just now.

A snoring sound came from behind, and everyone turned their heads to look and found that it was the tall Tang Er sitting at the back, and he didn't know when he had fallen asleep.

"The second brother is really amazing, he can fall asleep anytime and anywhere!"

Tang Yan shook his head helplessly, and then looked at the Dongying women wearing kimonos outside the car: "The kimono does look very cumbersome, not as simple and atmospheric as the clothes in our inner courtyard!"

Tang Da sighed: "Second brother, this is a bad statement! The customs and customs of various places are different, and the dress is naturally very different, and there is no distinction between superior and inferior!"

Tang Yan was speechless, and nodded helplessly, it's okay if I don't speak!

Tang Yan shut up, and Tang Lu on the side picked up the topic again: "Dongying is really interesting here, it's okay to make a mid-year festival, which is specially used to worship ghosts, it's really weird." ”

Tang Dayi slapped the book in his hand: "Sixth, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" The name Zhongyuan Festival follows the Taoism of self-Huaxia, and there is also an alias Obon Festival, which is the Buddhism of self-Huaxia, and the meaning of these two names is the same, both are Halloween festivals. ”

Tang Wu sighed: "So, this festival is inherited from Huaxia to Dongying?"

Tang Da nodded: "That's right, the Zhongyuan Festival is my Chinese festival, which was introduced to Dongying thousands of years ago, and then took root here and was carried forward. ”

Yumi sighed, and looked at Tang Da with a pair of big eyes: "Mr. Tang, you know so much, I, the tour guide, don't know that the Zhongyuan Festival turned out to be such a source!"

Tang Da's face looked a little colorful, and he coughed a straight color: "Although the Zhongyuan Festival is a festival introduced from Huaxia, it has developed its own characteristics here after hundreds of generations of inheritance, and it can be said that it is out of the blue. ”

Yumi smiled and waved her hand: "No, no, Huaxia has always been a sacred place in my heart, and I must go there to see it in person in the future." ”

Tang Lu clapped his hands: "No problem, when you come, you will look for my eldest brother, he likes to help others, especially young and beautiful girls." ”

Tang Da was choked up at this time, and glared at Tang Lu fiercely.

Yumi smiled awkwardly: "Oh yes, I forgot what I did in my own work, and I haven't introduced the midyear festival here to everyone." ”

After speaking, Yumi sat down and put on a formal smile: "The Dongying culture has great respect for the dead, so the activities of worshiping the dead are very grand, and the Zhongyuan Festival has gradually evolved into one of the three traditional festivals in the long history because of this function. ”

"The Zhongyuan Festival in Dongying is not only on the 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, but a grand festival for seven consecutive days. Tomb sweeping, welcoming the divine fire, and dancing the Bon Dance are all standing items of the Midyear Festival, and the Bon Dance is a very distinctive Dongying folk dance. ”

Yumi was halfway through speaking, and suddenly reached out of the car window and pointed out: "Look, everyone, that's Bon Odori!"

Everyone looked at Yumi's hand, and sure enough, in a square outside, they saw a group of girls dancing.

At this time, when the lights are on, large red lanterns are lit on both sides of the road, and girls in kimonos and clogs stand on a high stage, holding folding fans and dancing.

Tang Wu wowed, his eyes lit up: "These girls dance so beautifully!"

The eighth junior brother sat at the back, and he also looked up at the window from time to time, and he could see that he was very interested in those dances.

Tang Da sighed: "Dongying is really a peaceful world, and the people live a prosperous and healthy life. It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and the ancients will not deceive me!"

Tang Yan pursed his lips and remained silent.

Lin Yu spoke in the driver's seat: "Where are we going next?"

Yumi sighed: "I'm sorry, I forgot to say it before! We are now rushing to the Liuli Hall on the outskirts of the city for dinner, and after dinner, enjoy the fireworks show, and you will stay and rest at the Liuli Hall tonight." ”

Lin Yu nodded: "Then what is tomorrow's plan?"

Yumi hurriedly flipped out the notebook: "Your itinerary is customized, please wait for me to check it, I'm sorry." ”

After opening the book and checking it for a moment, Yumi raised her head: "Tomorrow we will drive to the area around Mt. Fuji, and if the road goes well, we can arrive at an ancient imperial castle near Mt. Fuji in the evening." ”

Lin Yu raised his eyebrows: "Ancient Imperial City?"

Yumi nodded: "Yes, that imperial city was first built more than a thousand years ago, and has always been the private domain of the Fuji family, and it has experienced many wars in history, but it has always stood tall with its thick walls and dangerous terrain, so it has the title of undefeated city." ”

Lin Yu snorted lightly: "Undefeated city, interesting ......"

It seems that the itinerary arranged by the Black Feather is still very reasonable, and after resting here in Tokyo for one night, he rushed to the Imperial City the next day, but he didn't know what the situation was inside the Imperial City now, so he rushed in so rashly, and he didn't know if he could find the imprisoned pheasant.

Tang Da spoke on the side: "Miss Yumi, you said that our trip was arranged by a club called Black Feather, what kind of organization is the club?"

Yumi snorted, a hint of embarrassment on her face: "Actually, the club is ...... Gangs, or as you can call them, the underworld. ”

Tang Da was stunned: "The underworld?"

The people of the Tang Sect do not know that the underworld is a legal organization in Dongying, which needs to be registered with the management department, needs to pay taxes, and will also assist the government in some work to maintain law and order.

Yumi bowed again: "The current society is actually evolved from the samurai class in the past, and as a defeated country, a large number of samurai were deprived of their identity and status, and in order to make a living, they had to choose to enter the society to make a living. ”

Tang Da sighed: "I see, I have no skills but I can't get the recognition of the society, this is the sorrow of the martial arts~"

Yumi nodded: "My grandfather was originally a samurai, and he spent the rest of his life in chagrin and sorrow, so from my father's generation, he abandoned his status as a samurai and reintegrated into society. ”

Tang Da nodded approvingly: "Your father's choice is right, the times are different, and martial artists should also adapt to the new environment." The same is true of our Tang Sect, who migrated to the Snow Mountain Jedi to live in seclusion three hundred years ago, and now has returned to the world, all of which should change with the times, and cannot be confined to the ancient law. ”

A happy smile appeared on Yumi's face: "Mr. Tang, you know so much, I admire you very much!"

Tang Dahaha laughed twice: "Where is ...... there?"

Tang Lu, who was sitting later, leaned into Tang Wu's ear and lowered his voice: "Hey, big brother is talking to this little girl, why is the tone weird?"

Tang Wu glared at Tang Lu: "Big brother is promoting my Tang Sect!
