The forty-second escape seat traveled

When the banquet was going on until near noon, Princess Mu Yizhen pulled Princess Ala Tenghua over and whispered to Peony Yong: "Let's sneak out to play? ”

Peony Yong saw that Liang Wang Boyan and Zhebei, who came to pick up Princess Mu Yizhen, were drinking happily, so he nodded, and the four of them quietly left the banquet and left the palace. The horses that had been prepared were waiting in front of the door, and they each turned on their horses and galloped away.

Ula quacked excitedly on horseback and shouted, "Princess Mu Yizhen, Princess Ala Tenghua, where are we going?"

Princess Mu Yizhen also said loudly: "In such a good weather, how boring it is to drink in the house!"

Princess Alatenghua smiled and said, "Where do you want to go? Do you want to go to Cangshan to see the scenery, listen to the right songs, or go to the cottage to see Shangdao Mountain?"

Peony Yong and Ula said almost at the same time:

"Look at the knife mountain!",

"Listen to the right songs!".

Princess Mu Yizhen laughed loudly, and then she said happily: "It's this time today, let's go to Erhai Lake first, and take a look at Shangdao by the way." After dinner tomorrow morning, let's choose a long way to go to the mountains or listen to the right love songs! Maybe it won't be as good as my singing. Ha ha. ”

Peony Yong also smiled, he glanced at Princess Arattenhua and said, "Okay, just listen to Princess Zhenzhen's sister!"

Princess Aratan smiled and nodded.

The four of them spurred their horses and walked straight to the east gate through the bustling streets of the ancient city. In this ancient city of Dali, most of the people living in it are Bai people. The Bai people's houses have always been neat in appearance, with white walls and green tiles, simple and generous. Most of the houses here are built of a large number of stones, the wall foundations, doors, window heads, and beams are all made of stone, and the roofs are made of slabs and tiles as ditches and tube tiles as the roof. The inner courtyards of the houses are also very elaborate, and often vary according to the wealth of the household.

At this time, because it is the New Year, the antique Bai dwellings in the ancient city of Dali, every household puts the bonsai in front of the door, builds a "flower mountain", the streets and alleys are full of flowers, the whole ancient city is full of fragrance, and the flowers are attacking. There is also a stream flowing down from Cangshan Mountain through the ancient city, flowing from west to east in the ditch next to the street, and the sound is pleasant.

At this time, the adults and children in the ancient city have eaten, they have gone out to participate in various celebrations, firecrackers exploded everywhere, and the cheerful suona sound sounded everywhere, the young men beat the octagonal drum, the girls sang the Bai ethnic tune, played the overlord whip, and sang and danced under the big green tree in the city, a festival celebration scene.

The four of them did not stop in the ancient city, but rode through the city on horseback. When you get out of the ancient city gate, you will face the new green and the Cangshan Mountains that stretch not far away, and from time to time you will encounter the clear and turquoise waters of Erhai Lake that appear on the side of the road, and you will run under the blue sky and white clouds, and the four of you will laugh happily all the way.

At this moment, Dali, Yunnan, Cangshan contains Dai, the snow on the top of the mountain and the jade belt clouds on the mountainside reflect each other, and on the Erhai Sea with blue waves, a little dragon boat is like in the painting.

Peony Yong traveled all the way, feeling that the color of Erhai Lake is narrow and long, like a sapphire color, lying quietly on the side of the mountain, kind and easy-going like the girl next door, so easy to appreciate her peerless face. While making people jealous, there is also an urge to move to her house for a long time and never leave.

Perhaps feeling the appreciative gaze of this group of handsome men and girls, the sun quietly hid and shyly passed through the gaps in the clouds, forming pillars of light that shone obliquely, creating a dream-like visual effect for them, and making people even more intoxicated by this charming beauty.

When the north is still in the cold spring, "the weather is often like February and March, and the flowers and branches continue to spring at four o'clock" in Dali, camellia and plum blossoms have already bloomed for spring, peach blossoms and pear blossoms are also the first to spit out, and the Cangshan and Erhai lakes have long been filled with a strong sense of spring.

Princess Ala Tenghua led them to a Miao family cottage by the Erhai Lake, where a meeting was being held on the day to reward the gods with a knife ladder. At this time, they came at the right time, and saw the men, women and children of the Miao family, dressed in festive costumes and wearing gold and silver jewelry, with a lofty spirit, coming from all directions.

The place to go up the ladder is on an open flat land, and there is a wooden pole four or five zhang high in the middle of the flat ground. The wooden pole is thick and straight, a dark yellow flag is erected on the top of the wooden pole, and 36 long sabers are inserted horizontally on the wooden pole, the blade is upward, and the cold light is shining. Before the official knife ladder, the knife edge is tightly sealed with a piece of paper, which looks very mysterious and solemn.

The four men tied up their horses, chose a high ground not far away, and waited for the ceremony to begin.

Upper Knife Mountain began. Under the watchful eye, I saw a young, thin, short male votive, wearing a pair of shorts, picking a sharp blade with his bare feet, and climbing to the top of the knife ladder step by step amid the exclamations of the people. He plucked a small strand of hair from his head and broke it in two when he rested it on the blade. Then he performed upside-down golden hooks, Dapeng wings, **** and other actions on the knife ladder, and used superb martial arts and extraordinary skills to worship and repay his vows.

Here, the two princesses were amazed while watching, their expressions kept following the calls of everyone, while the two fairy boys stood still with a smile. But they also had to admire the people of the mortal realm in their hearts for being able to cultivate kung fu to such an extent.

After the end of the game, they each led their own mounts and walked along the embankment of Erhai Lake, and Princess Arattenhua told them an ancient legend of the Miao people about Shangdao Mountain.

It is said that in ancient times, there was a cripple descendant named Zhang Erlang, his parents died, his brothers and sisters died tragically, and he was left alone. One day he lay dying on the side of the road due to hunger, and at this moment, a man surnamed Zhao passed by to rescue him and raise him. Therefore, he changed his name to Zhang Zhao Erlang to express his gratitude to the benefactor who saved his life.

Then one day, a strong wind hit the cottage, and all the people in the village were blinded by the wind and sand, and some people said that only the dew on the moon could wash the eyes. In order to save his father and fellow villagers, Zhang Zhao Erlang decided to go to the moon to get dew. So he carried a yellow umbrella on his back, went to a towering tree, stuck his knife one by one on the pole, and then climbed up the ladder to the clouds.

After 36 days, I saw a yellow umbrella slowly falling from the sky, and the umbrella was covered with dew.

The Miao family used the dew on this umbrella to wash their eyes and see the light of day again. And Zhang Zhao Erlang never returned to the world. In order to commemorate Zhang Zhao Erlang, going up the knife ladder has become a custom handed down by the Miao family.

This story makes Peony Yong and Ula Quaqua laugh.

Ulla grinned and said, "Take the dew from the moon? ”

Peony Yong said: "Don't talk nonsense, if you let Fairy Chang'e hear this, it will be almost your life." ”

Ulla croak and croak funny, and the two princesses thought they were joking, and laughed along.

The dusk of February came relatively early, and the Erhai Lake at this time was so quiet and peaceful. The snow-white clouds in the sky were dyed by the dark blue twilight, and they turned out to be the same color as the sea, and the sun didn't know when it hid, probably to deliberately leave the heavens and the earth a chance to get close to each other.

As far as the eye can see, the Erhai Lake in the twilight flows quietly at the foot of Cangshan Mountain, clear and beautiful, gentle and long. The occasional fishing boat returning from the twilight, the verdant aquatic plants roaming in the microwave of the sea, and the trees growing in the shallow bay water are painted in teal, making London hazy and dreamy. This kind of beautiful beauty between the Erhai Sea and the sky will calm down all the impetuous hearts, and also make the two teenagers in the flower fairy world completely indulge in this natural beauty, and they can't think about it.

Suddenly, across the water's edge, a sweet voice floated from the opposite side and sang a mountain song:

It's another year of camellia flowers

Sister embroidered purse and wanted to love Lang

Embroider the mandarin ducks to play in the water

Caring for my brother's love and righteousness

。。。。

Ula croaked the reins and hurriedly asked, "Is this going to be a song to the mountain?"

Princess Alatin smiled and said, "Whether it is or not, we have to go back." Otherwise, Abba would have sent someone to find us. With that, she turned over and got on her horse, knocked her feet on the horse's belly, and let the horse run along the road by the embankment.

Everyone else got on their horses and followed, only Ula Quack pulled at the back a little reluctantly, and the sweet song came to his ears:

The stilted building is quiet and the bamboo shadow is shaking

Sister embroidered purse to send to the lover

Suddenly, I heard the sound of mountain songs outside the village

Tearing off the thread, busy footsteps。。。。。。
