Chapter 52: A Dance in the City (Part II)
Xianjie didn't walk to the western cliff, but just whispered a few words to the middle valley steward with her ears attached.
Seeing this, some guests wanted to leave, but stopped and stayed again, feeling that there seemed to be something different.
The valley lord was also secretly curious, could it be that this woman had already thought of a way, and couldn't help but bring back a little confidence from the edge of disappointment.
Ma Yi and Chang Feng were naturally curious, they had listened to Zong Zheng's explanation of the subtleties of this question, and knew that the women who had gone up to the iron rope were just quite courageous, but not resourceful, and now this woman did not go directly to the cliff, but attached to the steward's words a few times, could it be that she found some way.
Then the steward ordered the servants who had untied the red cloth to pick it up again.
Several slaves separated from each other and grabbed the two ends of the red cloth, gently shaking and picking it up, the red cloth was more than two hundred meters long, and there was a little dust scattered on it, although it was not a good fabric, but the bright red light under the sunlight made people feel happy and luxurious.
This is the remaining fabric after arranging the entire Beauty Valley, the Talented Beauty Festival is held once every five years, and it is useless to keep the remaining fabric, which can be used to cover the iron rope and surprise the guests, and most importantly, the key to the problem of the valley owner is also in this cloth, and the foreshadowing of the so-called first appearance is just like that.
It's a pity that the valley lord watched all the girls step on the red cloth on the ground and go to the edge of the cliff, but they didn't use it, full of disappointment, and now they see the slave picking up the red cloth on the ground again, and his heart is already clear, this woman is undoubtedly elected as the beauty of this year, thinking that she can get such a spy elite, what is the difficulty of obtaining important information in the future, and she can't help but be secretly happy in her heart.
Several servants folded the red cloth in three layers, carefully rolled it up, and tied logs more than a meter long at both ends of the cloth, and a thick bundle of cloth piers lay across the cliff on the west side of the iron cable.
Xianjie stepped towards the cliff to the west, full of confidence, and seemed to have a bamboo in her chest.
After a while, the two big men collected all the scissors in the whole valley, and used a basket to hold them all, and carried them to the western cliff fairy jie with two wooden planks about half a zhang long.
I saw Xianjie walk to the front of the cloth pier, kicked the cloth away, the cylindrical cloth took two parallel iron cables as the track, rolled forward a few meters, the cloth was two zhang wide, folded three layers and the width reached more than one meter, plus the two ends of the log support, the cloth dun extended was cleverly placed on the two iron cables, like a red gallop, but Xian Jie had little strength, only pushed the cloth pier forward a few meters.
Everyone looked at Xianjie's actions, but they still didn't understand the mystery, but just watched curiously.
Xianjie turned her head to look at the basket behind her, then walked to the basket, picked up four scissors from the basket, and then came to the front end of the chain bridge, bent down and inserted the two scissors straight from the left side of the cloth, the sharp scissors were directly inserted into the hole of the left iron cable through the cloth, like two nails wedged into the stake, and then, Xianjie inserted the other two scissors into the right iron cable, and the four scissors were next to the log at the front end, firmly fixing the front end of the cloth pier.
Although the other end of the cloth is supported by a log, the cloth is supported and floated on two iron cables, but it is not stable, if you step on a step, it is inevitable that the other end will roll back to the place of focus, which is very dangerous, Ma Yi and Chang Feng seem to see Xianjie's intentions, but for the next key point, the two are still difficult to think through for a while, and they are secretly curious about what kind of wisdom the girl in front of them will have.
Xianjie saw that the front end had been fixed, so she returned to take two and a half zhang long planks, and carried four scissors with her, Xianjie put one of them floating between the two iron cables, and then stepped on the first plank, and then laid another plank half a meter away in front of her, and then moved the other foot to step on the second plank, and after moving the plank several times, she finally came to the other end of the cuff.
Xianjie took two scissors, wedged a pair of scissors into the left and right iron cables before the cloth pier, and then pushed the cloth pier for a while, the cloth pier rolled forward a few meters, Xianjie Fu swung the wooden plank as usual, came to the front of the cloth pier, and wedged two scissors into the iron cables on the left and right sides.
When the four scissors were used up, Xianjie had to go back to get the remaining scissors in the basket on the cliff, but, this time it was not ordinary, Xianjie did not return with the help of the two planks, but stepped straight on the cloth, the moment the volley stepped out, everyone pinched a sweat, Xianjie stepped on the cloth, the cloth was only slightly concave in the middle, but it was stable, the four scissors have been firmly like nails that connected the cloth and the iron cable together, Xianjie walked a few steps, returned unharmed, and took more scissors, then everyone suddenly realized, understood the mystery, and couldn't help but admire and admire。
After some tossing, the end of the cloth pier was finally firmly stabilized by four scissors, Xianjie looked back at this time, a red soft bridge hung on the two iron cables, linking the two ends of the cliff, the festive red bridge in the sun's light shined red, reflecting Xianjie's fair face.
Everyone saw a red bridge standing on the cliff, they were all sighing and admiring, and the guests couldn't help but stand up, and some even crossed the boundary of the sector, and a bunch of people crowded in the west area, competing to look at Xianjie, looking forward to what kind of peerless dance skills this woman will bring.
Xianjie looked at the red overpass in front of her, and took the first step on the cloth without any worries, her eyes only had the red cloth under her feet, and she did not look out, she knew that seeing the bottom of the cliff would affect her state of mind, so her eyes were full of red cloth, thinking about it was like walking on a red carpet less than one meter wide.
Xianjie landed steadily on the cloth, although the cloth was dented, but it was stabilized by the logs at both ends and the scissors wedged every few meters, and it was also stable, so as not to fall, compared to walking the iron rope with one foot, it was naturally much easier, and Xianjie had practiced light skills, as if stepping on the flat ground was no different.
Everyone was a little worried at first, but when Xianjie took the first step, they really pinched a handful of sweat, and saw that she was walking steadily on the cloth, and immediately understood the subtlety, and secretly admired Xianjie's intelligence and courage.
Ma Yi and Chang Feng looked at the woman blankly, and Chang Feng couldn't help but sigh: "It's really admirable that there is such a talented woman in Beauty Valley." ”
Ma Yi also echoed: "Yes! As Brother Mei said, this dance is not only about dance skills, but also about courage, resourcefulness and temperament, but it's a pity that Brother Mei has left ahead of schedule and missed such a wonderful scene in vain." He sighed.
Looking at Xianjie's proud figure and smelling the beauty fragrance wafting from Xianjie's body, everyone forgot the heat of the weather, and they were all crazy about this woman.
The valley lord looked at everything that happened from the window, and secretly admired this woman in his heart, he could be said to be the most intelligent and courageous person in the past, and hurriedly asked Bi Yan the name of this woman.
Bi Yan replied: "This woman's surname is Situ, her name is Xianjie, the fairy of the fairy, and the jie of Jieyu." ”
The valley lord happily praised: "Good name, people are like their names, smart and lovely, beautiful, but not losing wisdom, tonight, I will definitely see this girl with my own eyes." ”
After Xianjie laid the red cloth, she turned around and saw the hundred-meter-long red carpet, and couldn't help but sigh that the valley master was very powerful, it turned out that the answer had been ambushed in advance from the beginning, if she hadn't noticed this red cloth, if she wanted to find other ways, I am afraid it would not be so simple.
On the opposite cliff ground, there are all kinds of young heroes and heroes, vying to look forward to Xianjie's magnificent dance.
Ma Yi and Chang Feng saw this scene, they couldn't help but be interested, one stroked the piano, one played the flute, the flute sounded, the sound was moving, and a melodious and beautiful sound sounded on the top of the Nangu Peak, accompanied by the breeze, floating around, and gradually overflowing.
Xianjie heard this sound, immediately danced, from the other end of the cliff, stepping on a light and cheerful pace in a blink of an eye to the middle of the red overpass, an upward vertical leap, is the long sleeves fluttering, falling on the cloth instant, the legs are forked, just coiled between the two steel cables, the legs are gently forced, and then the body bounces up, Xianjie's body is smart, a rotation will dance skirt fluttering up, sometimes the golden rooster is independent, sometimes the crane spreads its wings, wonderful, and the sound of the piano flute, Xianjie forgot to be on the chain bridge, only in that one foot square, up and down flying sleeves, footwork is light and smart, and the dance posture is lovely。
Overhead, the white clouds, around, the breeze gusts, the ears, the sound of silk and bamboo, the white shadow under the bright sun, the spirit is flashing, so intoxicating.
The cloth is already elastic, coupled with the strength of Xianjie, so jumped, can jump very high, Xianjie can make more dazzling movements than when practicing dance in the past, with the rigidity of the iron rope, and the softness of the cloth, the dance posture is rigid and soft, one hand and one foot with a sound to cooperate seamlessly, quite amazing others, as the so-called, a bridge in the sky, a beautiful woman on the bridge, a beautiful woman dance, dumping a city.
Although there is a cloth as a bridge support, if you don't have enough courage and can't stabilize your mind, how can you dance on such a narrow red cloth bridge and be so handy!
Everyone listened to the beautiful chorus of piano and flute, and looked at the thrilling but breathtaking dance, and they all sighed that this trip was in vain, and the previous hard work and grievances were swept away.
The sun reflected Xianjie's flying cheeks, accompanied by flying black hair, and people couldn't help but speculate about what kind of peerless beauty Xianjie would be.
There is a way that the Chinese feast is in the ninth autumn twilight, and the clouds and rain are flying. It is as graceful as a dragon and as graceful as a dragon. The slow state cannot be poor, and the complex posture is curved to the end. The low lotus breaks the waves, and the messy snow lingers in the wind. When the fall flows, the repair wants to go back to the void. I couldn't catch it, so I flew away to chase the shock. It's so amazing that it's breathtaking.
Waiting for the piano and flute to be collected, Xianjie also restrained the dancing, and gave a thank you gift to the west cliff for its accompaniment two, the posture is graceful, and there is indeed the atmosphere and humility of everyone's ladies, so it arouses everyone's curiosity more and more, and the more and more excited people can't hide their inner admiration, all thinking that if they can get this beauty, what do they want in this life?
The cliff was full of people, Xianjie looked at the crowd, looking for Zongzheng's figure, searched carefully, but did not see Zongzheng's figure, and there was a trace of disappointment and sadness in his eyes.
Under the assistant of the head of Wugu, everyone returned to their seats in turn, and Xianjie was safely sent back to Zhonggu Luzhuxuan.
The valley lord staggered on the red carpet from the south attic on crutches again, and everyone calmed down from the noise of the square, and they all looked at the valley lord.
The valley lord thanked everyone present, and made a judgment on this talented and beautiful woman's day, only to listen to his solemn words:
"Presumably, who is the beauty of the Beauty Valley, everyone has already judged in their hearts, if there is some suspicion of the topic at the beginning, then presumably now, everyone will not have any objections, right?"
Everyone nodded in praise without the slightest objection.
Seeing that everyone was quite satisfied with this Talented and Beautiful Woman Festival, the valley lord continued to say happily:
"Since, you have no objection, then according to the rules of the Talented Beauty's Day, tomorrow is the competition between the beautiful woman and the talent, the beautiful Ruosi, if you want to hold the beautiful woman, it depends on your ability, tomorrow at the end of the day, right here, the competition questions by the beauty out of two, the beauty valley out of one, answer three correctly, the beauty can go. The lord of this valley wishes you all the best of luck!"
With that, he politely bowed and left.
Under the guidance of the maid of Beauty Valley, everyone withdrew from the South Valley in an orderly manner, looking at the resting place of the East Valley.
Ma Yi and Chang Feng left side by side, on the way, Ma Yi kept feeling sorry for Zongzheng, he sighed to Chang Feng: "Hey, if Brother Mei stayed for a while, he wouldn't have missed such a wonderful scene, it's a pity!"
Chang Feng didn't care, but teased Ma Yi and said: "I think it's not that Brother Mei didn't see such a wonderful scene, but it's a pity that your kid didn't see the true face of that beauty, right?"
Ma Yi smiled and replied unceremoniously: "Don't you want to see the beauty of Brother Feng?"
Chang Feng closed his eyes, opened them suddenly, and said solemnly: "There is a kind of beauty called invisible beauty, you don't understand!"
Ma Yi also hurriedly followed, and said mockingly: "Don't be serious in front of me, marry the beauty back if you have the ability!"
When the two returned to their residence, they went directly to Zongzheng's room, pushed open the door, and saw that Zongzheng had already packed his baggage and seemed to be ready to leave.
Ma Yi hurriedly asked, "Brother Mei, what are you doing here?"
Zong Zheng replied: "The two eldest brothers came just in time, and I was about to say goodbye to you." ”
Chang Feng patted Zong Zheng's shoulder and asked, "Did you not find the person you were looking for, so you want to leave?"
Zong Zheng nodded, a hint of loss flashing in his eyes.
Ma Yi remembered today's wonderful dance, so he said to Zongzheng: "I wanted to come back and tell you the wonderful scene of the last woman dancing on the iron rope, but I didn't want to, you actually want to leave." ”
Hearing this, Zong Zheng hurriedly asked Ma Yi, "What?
Ma Yi nodded and happily replied, "Guess, how did she do it?"
Zong Zheng naturally knew, so he replied lightly: "It's the red cloth on the ground!"
Chang Feng's face was shocked, and Ma Yi also replied in surprise: "It turns out that Brother Mei knew the answer to this question early in the morning!"
"Two big brothers, tell me quickly, what does that woman look like?" Zong Zheng asked anxiously,
Chang Feng sighed, "She covered her face, and she was far away, so she couldn't really see it." ”
Ma Yi hurriedly added: "However, tomorrow is the competition between the talented man and the beauty, if you can answer the two questions of the beauty and one question of the beauty valley, you can get the beauty, and when the time comes, she will naturally show the true face of Lushan!"
Zong Zheng thought that he had already come, and with the wisdom of Xianjie, he could indeed dance on the iron rope, so he simply stayed for one more day, and it was not too late to leave after determining whether it was Xianjie, so he promised Ma Yi and Chang Feng to stay for one more day.
