Chapter 130 Shangyuan Lantern Festival (II) (Tomorrow New Year's Day, one shift in the evening)
"Sister!"
"The first one. ”
Tu Shan Ziyi and Ah Li hurriedly turned around to salute when they heard the sound, the person who came was the first Tu Shan Zixun of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, I don't know when she came, and now she has also climbed on this roof.
Tu Shan Zixun continued to maintain his usual pungent style, stepped forward and enthusiastically grabbed the arms of his sister and Ah Li and said, "Tut-tut, is this a pair of master and apprentice?
My sister really hasn't come out for a long time, so how can you be in the mood to come out for a walk today? Usually you don't participate in such a lively activity at all, so my sister followed in surprise. ”
Tu Shan Ziyi said: "My sister said that she laughed, maybe she was thinking about it, so she thought about coming out to see." Shouldn't my sister attend the moon worship ceremony at the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum at this time? Why do you have time to come here to chat with us?"
Tu Shan Zixun smiled and said: "I'm not worried about you, sister, I'm busy tomorrow morning, I can't go to see you off in person, so I can only take the time to say goodbye to my sister tonight, I didn't expect to go to the cave to find you, your maid said that you and Ah Li came out to enjoy the lanterns, so I was curious, and I searched all the way, and finally found the two of you here." ”
Tu Shan Ziyi hurriedly said: "Sister Lao is worried, all the materials on the Danfang have been checked and accepted, and the matters for tomorrow's departure have also been prepared, my sister will rush to the Xuanji faction day and night, urge Xuanjizi to open the furnace and refine the medicine as soon as possible, and then bring the Dan back safely." ”
Tu Shan Zixun hurriedly interrupted Tu Shan Ziyi's words and said, "Okay, okay, Ziyi, I really care about you!
I know that you two don't like to be lively, then you can continue to stay here to watch the lanterns and admire the moon, the moon worship ceremony is about to start, and I, as the head of the fox clan, must rush back, otherwise the ancestors will definitely be angry.
By the way, after the moon worship ceremony, there will be a competition to chase the clouds and the sun, if you want to watch the game, you can also come over. ”
After Tu Shan Zixun finished speaking, she disappeared in a flash, came in a hurry, and left in a hurry, this decisive and capable style is also one of the reasons why she can succeed.
Tu Shan Ziyi and Ah Li looked at each other and smiled, and Tu Shan Ziyi asked, "Ah Li, are you tired at this time?" Do you want to go to see the Moon Worship Ceremony and the Cloud Chasing Sun competition?"
Ah Li said: "Okay, I just want to see the moon worship ceremony of our Xuanyuan Tomb, I heard that it is very grand." Also, I saw that Brother Chong was not in a very good mood this morning, and I don't know if he will participate in the competition in the evening. ”
Tu Shan Ziyi said: "With my understanding of Hanti, he has a very wide heart, and he is worried that he will return to normal in the first half of the day, and he will definitely appear in the evening, so let's go to the main altar of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum." ”
When Tu Shan Ziyi and Ah Li rushed to the main altar of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, they were just in time for the moon worship ceremony to begin.
Today, the main hall and the main altar of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum are also newly decorated, and all kinds of simple and solemn palace lamps illuminate the two buildings brightly, and they look particularly solemn and majestic under the night sky.
And the grandstand under the main altar has been temporarily expanded many times today, so as to meet the needs of tens of thousands of monks of all levels who participate in the moon worship ceremony, and it is also convenient for them to watch the game for a while.
At this time, the bright moon has quickly traveled to the position of the middle of the sky, there is not a single cloud in the bright night sky, the bright moon hangs high in the clear night sky, as if it is far away from the ground, there is a feeling of unattainable, but the bright moon is so big and round, the shadows on the surface are clearly visible, as if it is very close to the top of the head, as if it can be taken off with a hand.
It is really a thousand years to have such a moon appearance on the Shangyuan Festival, and it is a good time to worship the moon.
The annual moon worship ceremony of Xuanyuan Tomb is performed by the seven cave void ancestors in turn, and this year's moon worship ceremony is the turn of the two ancestors of the fox clan to serve as the main sacrifice.
On the main altar, burn the incense, hold the wind candles, offer melon cakes and all kinds of fruits on the table, it is really a moonlight lantern, popular cigarettes, crystal bright, can not be shaped, the ground in front of the table is spread with a front and six back seven worship carpets brocade mattress.
At this time, the melodious music sounded, whimpering, melodious, and the sound of Xiao flute, zheng, bell and drum echoed each other, which was particularly beautiful in the night sky.
I saw that under the sky, the bright moon and clear breeze, the sky and the ground were clean, it was really annoying, and all the worries were removed, and all the children of Xuanyuan Tomb who participated in the moon worship ceremony sat solemnly and appreciated each other silently.
The music played for a cup of tea before it stopped, and everyone present had a sense of sacredness after fasting and bathing.
At this time, the salutation of the moon worship ceremony sings: "The moon festival begins."
The two ancestors of the main fox clan stepped forward and knelt on a brocade mattress of worship carpet facing the offering table, and the sacrifice was the remaining six ancestors of the cave void period, and they knelt on the brocade mattress on the left and right sides of the two ancestors of the fox clan.
Zanli sang again: "Mikami incense." ”
The deacon hands three sticks of incense, and the priest lights the candle, bows to the moon god, and inserts the incense into the censer, and so on three times.
Praise sings: "Three sacrificial wines." ”
The deacon poured the wine and handed it to the priest, who sprinkled it on the ground in front of the mattress, and then placed the wine on the altar table, and so on three times.
Praise and sing: "Read the blessings." ”
The deacon handed over a blessing in praise of the moon, and the celebrant unfolded it and recited it aloud to the moon in the sky and the moon god on the moon by the light of the moon and candlelight.
I don't know who this blessing came from, it is definitely not the work of today's people, an article about the moon, the rhetoric is gorgeous, the love is sincere, if the moon god knows, it will also be moved by this blessing.
Praise and sing: "Burn the blessing and the moonshine paper." ”
The priest got up and put the blessing and the silver moonlight paper in his hand into the small copper basin in front of him, and with a light touch of his finger, he burned it, and the blessing and the silver moonlight paper were all burned out, turning into a wisp of green smoke and floating into the air, flying higher and higher, leaving no residue.
Praise sings: "Worship the moon." Bye-hing-bye-by-hing-flat!"
The chief priest, the servant priest and all the participants perform a "goodbye" salute to the moon god.
Praise sings: "From the offering." ”
The chief priest leaves the feast, and the worshippers go to the feast in the order of the eldest and youngest, kneel down to offer incense, silently pray for their wishes, and then bow to the moon god once.
Originally, the strict moon worship ceremony required all the participants to come forward one by one to worship and worship, but tens of thousands of children from the Xuanyuan Tomb were present, and they came up one by one, and I was afraid that they would not be able to finish it in a few days and nights, so it was represented by the seven ancestors.
At the end of the salute, he sang, "Licheng." ”
At this point, the moon worship ceremony of the Shangyuan Festival was officially completed, and all the participating disciples still knelt on the ground reverently.
The seven Cave Void Ancestors walked to the edge of the main altar together, and there were deacons next to them who brought up seven large plates, which contained various spiritual fruits and three or four grades of pills.
The seven ancestors grabbed the spirit fruit and pill on the plate and threw them at the sacrificial disciples in the audience, all of them were profound, and they cooperated very well, taking care of almost all the disciples in all directions and near and far in the audience.
When the spirit fruits and pills on the seven plates were distributed, many viewers got a small surprise, and the audience erupted in huge cheers, which shook for dozens of miles, startling countless birds and beasts in Qiaoshan.
The second ancestor announced that the finale of the night was about to start, and the audience hurriedly sat back in their seats, eagerly looking forward to the start of the game.
Today's competition is a twelve-player match, which will be contested by two teams of infant monks, a total of 24 people will compete in groups.
One team is dominated by players from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, and the other team is a joint team of the Nine-Tailed Clan and the Lingyu Clan.
The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan's body is light and fast, and it has a certain advantage in this sport, but the Nine-Tailed Clan's flying technique and the Lingyu Clan's telekinesis are also two killer moves, and the strength of the two sides is almost the same.
After comprehensive consideration, Tu Shanchong, a player whose strength was obviously higher than his peers, was designated by the referee to the United Team of Nine-Headed Lingyu, so that the strength of the two groups of rival players was almost equal.
After the grouping, the referee gave the players on both sides a quarter of an hour to communicate, although Tu Shanchong knew most of his teammates in his team, but he usually cooperated less together.
Tu Shanchong gathered his teammates together very professionally, quickly agreed on the command code in the game, and simply arranged three sets of tactics, his superb tactical literacy and simple and clear explanations immediately conquered his teammates, and everyone in the team listened very carefully.
The nine-tailed fox players saw their captain go to the other team, although they were a little regretful, but they refused to admit defeat easily, and the best protest was to speak with their results, so the deputy captain of the nine-tailed fox clan took on the responsibility of the captain, and under his leadership, the team members quickly reviewed their daily tactics.
Because this competition was a cloud-chasing competition for the monks of the Yuan Infant Stage, the monks of the Demon Pill Period could not see the content of the game clearly, and many monks of the Demon Pill Period chose to leave the field early and participate in other activities.
There are also many shrewd monks in the Demon Pill Period, carrying or carrying all kinds of convenient utensils in the audience, the utensils contain all kinds of snacks, spiritual food, spiritual springs, spiritual wine, etc., they take the opportunity to do some small business and earn some spiritual stones.
Many monks have been playing for two or three hours tonight, and there is indeed a feeling of hunger and thirst in their stomachs, although these food and drinks are not cheap, but the wonderful game is about to begin, and no one is willing to go back to Xuanyuan's tomb to eat and drink at this time.
The demand created the superiors, and most of the demon cultivators still chose to exchange a few low-grade spirit stones for some food, and soon these shrewd demon pill stage monks earned a full cup of money.
A quarter of an hour passed quickly, the protective array used in the game had already risen, 40 zhang long, 20 zhang wide, 20 zhang high, the protective array was compared with the New Year's Day and made a lot of improvements, the light curtain became more crystal clear, enhanced the brightness of the light, so that the audience can better see the details of the game.
After the players on both sides entered the game formation, the captains of both sides retreated to the last position of the team, after these days of exploration, we have summed up some tactical routines of the team competition, and the captain is more responsible for observation, command and scheduling in the first half of the competition, rather than charging ahead.
The referee gave an order, the first light was on, and the players on both sides quickly grabbed the position and stuck the position, and the players on both sides have been practicing hand-to-hand combat recently, and some brave players will break through the opponent's position within 20 breaths, and strive to drive away their opponents in front and side, and seize more space for their teammates.
After the second light was turned on, everyone immediately stopped their movements and looked up at the sky together, their eyes wide open, for fear of missing the moment when the lights were turned on.
After the third light, the ball of light appeared, and half of the twenty-four contestants rose into the air, while the other half was under the command of the captain, hindering, interfering, and sneaking up on the opposing player, and various tactics and cooperation emerged one after another.
Infancy players don't need to use flying magic weapons to move in such a small space, and they can maintain high-speed movement by relying entirely on flying skills.
Some players with outstanding physical skills, in order to pursue the ultimate speed in a small space, even abandon the flying technique, relying entirely on the explosive power of the body, often more flexible and faster than the flying technique!
Since the popularity of this kind of activity of chasing clouds and shooting the sun, the children of Xuanyuan Tomb have increased their understanding and attention to physical arts, flying skills and actual combat, and the strength of the participants has been rapidly improved.
And as a loyal viewer of this sport, I also got an unexpected benefit, that is, my eyesight improved quickly, like the competition of the Yuan Infant Stage, the Jindan Stage audience is obviously a big difference in the strength realm, but more and more Jindan Monks can see the movements of the Yuan Infant Monk in the game.
This new discovery surprised the senior management of Xuanyuan Tomb, which was equivalent to opening up the vision and sense of speed of the Jindan period monks in advance, which was of great help to the future promotion, so the senior management of Xuanyuan Tomb worked harder to promote this sport.
The senior management of Xuanyuan Tomb specially provided corresponding cultivation material rewards for the winning teams at all levels of the weekly and monthly competitions, so that this activity maintained its vigorous vitality.
The process of chasing the clouds and shooting the day today is very exciting, the difference in strength between the two sides is very small, and the score has been very close, especially in the later stage, every ball of light may become the key to determining the outcome of the game.
When the number of orbs of light is reduced to less than fifty, the captain's command role will quickly decrease, and then all the team members need to charge into battle together.
Tu Shan rushed into the sky with a scream, completely ignoring that the opponent was his teammate before, and only cared about harvesting the light ball in the air, and the current captain of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan refused to show weakness, leading the team to fight a good counterattack, and they teamed up to present a wonderful game for the audience.
In the end, the joint team of the Nine-Headed Clan and the Lingyu Clan narrowly defeated the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan team with a score of fifty-one to forty-nine and won the competition.
The nervous audience finally breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, more people felt that it was not enough to watch, and they really wanted to fight against the two sides to play a fifty-on-fifty draw, so that they could play nine more balls of light, and let the audience watch a little longer.
However, the result was a perfect regret, the winning team captain was Tu Shanchong of the Nine-Tails Clan, and the team members were players from the Nine-Headed Clan and the Lingyu Clan, so the three clans all felt that this victory was because there were their own clansmen in this team, so they would finally win, which greatly satisfied the sense of honor of the audience of the three clans.
The fanatical spectators rushed to the main altar and enthusiastically surrounded the contestants on both sides, and some people even lifted Tu Shanchong up and threw it into the sky, cheering as they threw it.
Seeing that the disciples of the three veins were like a family, the Seven Cave Void Ancestors were very satisfied with today's activities.
Now the relationship between the three veins of Xuanyuan Tomb has been greatly improved compared with thousands of years ago, and the feeling of being like a family many years ago has returned to the ethnic group, there is more healthy competition within the family, there is less intrigue, and the sense of collective honor is stronger, and everything is developing in a good way.
Tu Shan Ziyi completely released herself today, and she continued to applaud and cheer during the game, which was far from her usual cold temperament, which made Ah Li around her amazing.
After the game, Tu Shan Ziyi returned to normal, and she said to Ah Li: "Ah Li, let's go, we have to get up early tomorrow." ”
"Hmm!" Ah Li got up and followed Tu Shan Ziyi towards the passage of Xuanyuan Tomb.
As soon as he arrived at his cave, Tu Shan Ziyi found that Master Yuheng of the Lingyu clan was pacing anxiously in front of the door of the cave.
For this humble gentleman, most of the monks in Xuanyuan Tomb are very fond of it, and Tu Shan Ziyi and Ah Li are no exception.
Master Yuheng didn't know what was going on in the evening today, that is, he didn't go to the moon worship ceremony, and he didn't serve as a referee in the game of chasing clouds and sun.
Seeing him pacing at the door, Tu Shan Ziyi hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said, "Brother Yuheng, I didn't see you at the Moon Worship Ceremony and the Cloud Chasing Sun competition today, so I feel strange." It turns out that you came to me, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, let's talk in the cave first. ”
Master Yuheng hurriedly bowed down and said, "Doctor Ziyi, you don't have to be so polite, in fact, I still come to bother you at this time, and I am very embarrassed myself." At this time, it is getting late, you two girls' cave, I really don't want to go in as a guest, it's okay, I don't have much to say, I'll leave after a few words. ”
Tu Shan Ziyi said a little strangely: "Okay, since Brother Yuheng refuses to go into the cave to talk about it, what is the matter, please tell me clearly." ”
Master Yuheng took out a booklet that was not thick from his bosom and handed it to Tu Shan Ziyi and said, "I heard that the purple-clothed medical officer is going to visit Brother Xuanjizi, I urgently copied a manual that I have recorded my own experience in nurturing and nurturing the soul, I hope you can help me bring it to Xuanjizi and ask him to help me straighten it out, I don't know if it's okay?"
Tu Shan Ziyi took the pamphlet handed by Master Yuheng and said, "It's naturally okay to help Brother Yuheng bring things, but if Xuanjizi is willing to help you annotate your experience, I can't control it." ”
Master Yuheng said: "It's okay, the purple-clothed medical officer only needs to help me bring this booklet, with my understanding of Brother Xuanji, he is broad-minded and tolerant, and will not be stingy to help other refining craftsmen."
It's not too early, so I won't disturb the purple-clothed medical officer to rest, and I wish you a smooth journey and a successful completion of the task. ”
Tu Shan Ziyi Wanfu said: "Thank you Brother Yuheng for your concern, then I will not be far away." ”
Master Yuheng left, and Tu Shan Ziyi and Ah Li quickly packed up and rested.
Tu Shan Ziyi lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling and began to be in a daze, and the cute fat face appeared in his head again, as if he was smiling at himself, and a poem suddenly appeared in his mind.
Who can sit idly when they see the moon? Where can they not see the lights?
