With the sound of a few rooster crowings, Mojia Village ushered in a new day.

"Get up, Yun'er, the sun is drying your buttocks, and if you don't get up again, your father will give rhubarb your favorite millet porridge." Father's kind voice reached Mo Yun's ears on time as usual.

Wang, Wang, Wang, after three dog barks, a yellow dog broke into the door, the fish jumped onto the little boy's kang, and licked the little boy's face a few times, followed by three dog barks, as if he was demonstrating to Mo Yun: If you don't get up, little master, you are really going to be hungry.

Mo Yun lightly patted the yellow dog's head, and said lazily: "Okay, don't make trouble, Rhubarb, I'll get up right away, day by day, more energetic than my father." After saying that, he slapped the yellow dog's head twice, and then reluctantly stretched his waist!

After breakfast, an old man, a young man and a dog, packed their bags and headed for Tongtian Peak with the rest of the village.

Tongtian Peak is the highest peak of the Wuji Mountain Range, and it is also the closest peak to Mojia Village, located in the southwest of the Wuji Mountain Range, because the peak is towering into the clouds, straight into the zenith and got the name, according to legend, before the establishment of the Seven Stars Temple, the Seven Stars had wanted to open a mountain in this peak, but because the Tongtian Peak is not only high, but also extremely steep, the realm of the Seven Stars and the Eight Heavens can not be successfully climbed to the top, so they retreated to the next best, and chose the Beidou Peak as the location of the sect of the Seven Stars.

Tongtian Peak is covered with snow all the year round, it is difficult for ordinary people to enter the range of Tongtian Peak within a radius of 100 miles, only in August every year, when the temperature reaches the peak of the year, the snow melts, and Tongtian Peak will reveal the true face of Lushan.

Today happens to be August 15, and at this time of the year, all children in Mojia Village who are over 12 years old and under 15 years old will go to the foot of Tongtian Peak accompanied by their families to participate in a unique coming-of-age ceremony.

The coming-of-age ceremony, for the children of Mojia Village, is a long-awaited event, and it is also a way for the villagers of Mojia Village to welcome the Mid-Autumn Festival and celebrate the harvest. On this day, the villagers gathered together, singing and dancing, and it was very lively!

Tongtian Peak is steep and difficult to climb, however, at the bottom of Tongtian Peak, there is an open grassland, trees are scattered in various places, the terrain is not only flat, but also rich in products, it is a rare feng shui treasure land!

At the intersection of this grassland and Tongtian Peak, there is a large lake with a radius of thousands of feet, surrounded by Tongtian Peak, the snow melted every year is merged into this lake, this lake is covered by cold ice all year round, and only on August 15 will the ice melt completely, therefore, there is a very vivid name "Cold Moon Lake".

As for the coming-of-age ceremony in Mojia Village, it is also very simple, which is to let the children who have just become adults enter the Cold Moon Lake and capture a kind of ceremony called "Snow Cold" The fish, the snow cold fish is the endemic fish in the cold moon lake, the body length is about half a meter, not only delicious, and the whole body has many treasures, the fish bones can be made into daggers, extremely sharp, the fish eyes are crystal clear, even after leaving the body of the snow cold fish, it is not rotten for life, and it can also emit a faint white light in the dark night, although it is not as precious as the night pearl, but it is also a rare item, take it to the market to exchange, a fish eye can ensure the rations of a family of four for three months.

The snow cold fish has a certain intelligence, and is active at the bottom of the cold moon lake all year round, and is suspicious by nature, and is only willing to get close to children under the age of fifteen, if adults enter the cold moon lake, there is no trace of the snow cold fish at all. Therefore, Mojia Village will catch snow cold fish as a children's coming-of-age ceremony, on the one hand, to exercise their physique and courage, and more for the fish eyes of snow cold fish, which are an important economic source for Mojia Village.

Since he can remember, Mo Yun has been yearning for the arrival of this day, looking forward to the stars and the moon to come today, how can he not be excited, chattering all the way non-stop, either running all the way with rhubarb, or picking flowers and grass with other friends, so happy and comfortable, watching the children play to their heart's content, the adults are deeply infected, talking about the beautiful scenery in twos and threes, unconsciously, time passes quickly, at noon, Mojia Village and a group of people came to Hanyue Lake in a mighty way, and the annual coming-of-age ceremony is about to kick off.

The village head, Mo Feng, is a forty-year-old middle-aged man, dressed in a cyan robe and a short and capable beard, looking particularly energetic! After arriving at the camp in previous years, Mo Feng immediately gathered everyone together and made detailed arrangements for the coming-of-age ceremony, and at the same time gave a final lecture to the seven men and two women who participated in the coming-of-age ceremony, including Mo Yun: " No matter what happens, don't panic, stay calm, don't be strong, before making a decision, you must ensure your own safety, and remember that before the sun sets, you must return to the shore from the Cold Moon Lake, otherwise the temperature in the lake will drop sharply, the lake will be frozen again, and it will not be opened again until August 15 of the next year, and once the Cold Moon Lake is frozen, the temperature will reach a terrifying point, and ordinary people will not be able to hold a stick of incense in it, and they will die because of blood coagulation. ”

"If you can't come back from Cold Moon Lake before dark, will you be frozen into ice lumps," Mo Yun asked Village Chief Mo Feng with a blink of big black eyes.

"Of course, it's still an ice lump that has been frozen for a year," Mo Feng replied very humorously.

"I don't want to become an ice lump, I still have to eat fish and meat with my father at night," Mo Yun replied very wittily, which resonated with other friends, and everyone said in a gossipy: "Yes, yes, we won't become ice lumps, we will definitely come back on time, don't worry, village chief." ”

Mo Feng looked around, he didn't expect the little guys to be so obedient, a satisfied smile appeared on his face, and he instructed again: "That's right, and you have to remember that no matter whether you catch a fish before Shen Shi, you must return, otherwise the sun will set on time when it comes to the unitary time."

"Got it, village chief!" said the children in unison.

After the explanation, Mo Feng began to work on the camp again, although it was not very complicated, but after all, it was a meticulous job, after several efforts, and at the same time, with the close cooperation of everyone, a small camp finally appeared on the shore of Cold Moon Lake!

Since it is a festival, how can there be less rich food, everyone collects firewood and the flame is high, the kung fu of blinking an eye, the delicious food exudes a strong fragrance, the villagers enjoy it to their heart's content, the beautiful scenery and food are in front, there will naturally be singing and dancing to help the fun, although they can't get on the hall, but the villagers are not stingy with their applause, the laughter is endless, the scene is unusually lively! After the wine and food are full, everyone simply rests for a while, and the annual coming-of-age ceremony officially begins.

The highlight of the coming-of-age ceremony is the most solemn sacrificial ceremony, someone has already placed an incense case on the shore of Hanyue Lake, there is a bronze statue more than half a meter high hanging on it, the bronze statue wears a gold crown, wears a purple-gold cloak, and a belt embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon around the waist.

Mo Feng led the people of Mojia Village, standing respectfully at the bottom of the incense case, and an old voice sounded: "The auspicious time has come, and the sacrifice has officially begun."

Immediately after a twenty-year-old white pure descendant handed Mo Feng three incense sticks, there was still a little white smoke on the incense, Mo Feng took a step forward very solemnly, and said solemnly: "The emperor and the queen of heaven are on the earth, and now my Mojia Village and dozens of people have come to the foot of Tongtian Peak to spend this Mid-Autumn Festival full moon night, and I beg the Yellow Emperor to bless my Mojia Village with good weather and good harvest in the coming year, and at the same time I also implore the emperor to let these descendants of Mojia Village come out of the Cold Moon Lake safely," After speaking, he respectfully bowed three times and bowed nine times to the bronze statue of the Yellow Emperor, and the people behind Mo Feng were also very religious, like Mo Feng, and bowed three times and nine times to the bronze statue of the Yellow Emperor.

After the short and grand sacrifice ceremony, the protagonists of the coming-of-age ceremony appeared, and these little guys couldn't hold back the excitement in their hearts, dancing one by one, and they were eager to try.

With the help of his father, Mo Yun pushed the small wooden boat that had been placed on the shore in previous years into the Cold Moon Lake, and at the same time carefully checked the safety of the small wooden boat, and finally put the fishing tools into the small wooden boat. ”

"Father, don't worry, I will not only come back safely, but also bring you back the snow cold fish, and our family's life will definitely get better and better. Mo Yun thought of his father's hard work to him, and a warmth surged into his heart, now that he is an adult, it is time to repay his father's nurturing kindness, thinking of this, his eyes are more determined.

The father wanted to explain a few more words, but at this time, Mo Feng's loud voice sounded: The coming-of-age ceremony has officially begun, children, set off!!

With Mo Feng's order, Mo Yunfei jumped on the small wooden boat, and the other friends also followed, and the nine small wooden boats quickly sailed from the shore to the depths of Cold Moon Lake like arrows off the string, among which Mo Yun took the lead in rushing to the forefront, and from time to time turned his head to make faces at other friends, and other friends did not show weakness.

Snow cold fish is the only species in this lake, perennial activities at the bottom of the lake, feed on the cold air in the cold moon lake, the whole body is silvery white, the fish scales are wrapped in a thick layer of ice, the fish head is wider than ordinary fish, and the middle part of the forehead is about two inches or so protrusion, like a horn, the most special is the two eyes, brighter than pearls, unusually eye-catching under the dark lake water.

Therefore, the fish feeds on the cold in the lake, resulting in the body temperature of the whole body is colder than the ice, and every year on August 15, when the full moon, the cold in the cold moon lake is the strongest, if the snow cold fish can not suppress the cold in their own body with external objects, there will be the risk of exploding and dying, therefore, the reproduction of the snow cold fish is very large, but the adult snow cold fish is very rare.
