Chapter 1349 It’s time to fight
When Xia Zihan and his party arrived at the fire ceremony, the fire ceremony had already begun.
I saw many young unmarried men and women, wearing foreign clothes and foreign hats on their heads, all sitting next to each other on the ground, three floors inside and three floors outside, forming a big circle. It's a pile of burning flames.
The firelight illuminated the entire vegetable market, and also illuminated everyone's face. Here, everyone's appearance was invisible, and everything was visible to everyone.
There were many people watching the excitement around. Xia Zihan noticed that the people around the fire were all teenagers and girls, while some older ones could only stand aside and watch the excitement.
"People who dance to drive away ghosts can only be boys and girls. It is blasphemous for a broken body to dance to drive away ghosts."
A middle-aged woman on the side explained her doubts.
Only then did Xia Zihan realize that it turned out that the men and women sitting around the fire were all unmarried, and the man's family didn't even need to have a maiden who lived with him. It is blasphemy and the gods will punish you.
For this reason, no matter how rich, powerful and status a man in Wangu Town is, his family will not arrange for a girl to marry him before marrying his wife, let alone a concubine. Otherwise, if the man's body is ruined, he will Lose the opportunity to show your face in front of everyone on this day every year.
"Chu Yu, look, they are dressed differently from us." Princess Qinghui excitedly pulled Xia Zihan, got into the crowd, pointed at the girls in the fire and said.
Xia Zihan smiled and said, "The customs here in the southwest are very different from those in the capital. The dressing customs are different. Look at these women, they are all dressed differently from the women in the capital."
Only then did Princess Qinghui notice that among the women watching the excitement, more than half were wearing clothes similar to those of foreigners, but there were still less than half who were dressed similarly to her.
Chu Yuexi followed her daughter-in-law closely. Seeing her curiosity, she showed off some information he had learned before, "Daughter-in-law, the people here in Wangu Town not only dress differently from those in the capital, but the people here also believe in gods." , but the people in the capital believe in Buddha.”
"Hey, isn't the Buddha a god?" Princess Qinghui looked at him in surprise, "Isn't the Buddha a god?"
"It's a god. Buddha is a god, but it's different from the gods they believe in." Chu Yuexi was confused and didn't know how to explain it.
"What is that spirit?" Princess Qinghui asked him.
"I don't know what it is. Anyway, it's a kind of spirit, which is different from Buddha."
Seeing Chu Yuexi perfunctory her, Princess Qinghui snorted, turned away, and asked Xia Zihan, "Sister Chu Yu, are Buddha and gods the same thing?"
"Of course not the same one. Let's put it this way, the Miao people believe in gods. They believe that their witchcraft is given to them by the gods. The Buddha we believe in is a Bodhisattva, which is different from the gods. Although they are all gods, But there are differences between gods. For example, Buddha is the god of heaven, and Lord Yama is the god of hell. As for the god worshiped in the southwest, I don’t know.”
Well, actually, Xia Zihan doesn't understand these gods or anything. She doesn't believe in gods and has never even heard of them. How could she know?
The reason why she used what she understood to explain to Princess Qinghui was because Princess Qinghui had the attitude of breaking the pot and asking questions. If she didn't say a few words to her, Princess Qinghui would keep arguing. she.
Sure enough, after hearing her words, Princess Qinghui said oh, and then her mind turned to the fire ceremony.
At this time, the gongs and drums had already sounded. In the several fires in the encirclement, more than a dozen boys and girls got up, holding hands, surrounding one small fire after another, dancing in a way that Xia Zihan had never seen before. dance.
And the people sitting in the large circle were clapping their hands along with the dance, and from time to time they would shout along with the rhythm of the dance. The momentum was truly earth-shattering, and the momentum was like a rainbow.
Xia Zihan watched with great interest, and she didn't even know that Chu Jingqi had hugged her waist at some point.
At this time, the boys and girls who had been dancing for half an hour seemed to have finished dancing. They all returned to their seats. Then, another twenty girls got on board. They also held hands and began to dance in circles, saying something in their mouths. Singing.
When Xia Zihan listened carefully to the lyrics, he discovered that they were from the Diamond Sutra.
"It turns out that what is being sung is the Diamond Sutra." She murmured in a low voice, "Buddhist music is still very nice."
"Baby, when you get home, sing to me."
Suddenly, there was a burst of hot air in her ears, and then a deep voice, which made her blush and her heart beat. She turned her face and glared at someone fiercely, "Young boy, don't lick my ears, so many people are watching. ”
"No one is watching, everyone is watching the dance." Chu Jingqi tightened her hands slightly, and her whole body leaned into his arms, half-carried by him, "Let's go over there and watch."

He pointed to the roof of a building not far away.
Without waiting for Xia Zihan's consent, he pulled her out of the crowd. Then, while no one was paying attention, he hugged her and flew up to the roof. In a place where the firelight was not visible, he could clearly see the entire sacrifice fire. Sit down at the meeting place.
He pulled his wife into his arms and asked her to sit on his lap. Holding his wife in his arms and sitting like this was much more comfortable than standing up just now.
"Be more careful with your hands." Xia Zihan raised his hand and slapped the claws that were about to reach into her clothes.
Chu Jingqi laughed a few times and joked, "I'm used to it, this hand deserves a beating."
"It's just your skin." Xia Zihan scolded.
Chu Jingqi, however, smiled and said nothing. He just stared at her face with eyes full of endearment and warmth, which made Xia Zihan blush and her heart beat again.
The couple sat on the roof, watching the fire ceremony and chatting sweetly.
Chu Jingqi always liked to tease her. After making her furious, he would coax her with a shy face. Every time, he would make Xia Zihan blush and her heart beat wildly. However, he became more and more unscrupulous and had already put his hand into her clothes. Inside, he gently kneaded her, making Xia Zihan's whole body go limp, and she completely collapsed in his arms.
He became more and more gentle, "Ayu, have you noticed that you seem to be a little bigger again? I used to touch it with one hand and I could just grasp it, but now I can't."
As he said that, he measured it again with his hands to confirm that it was really bigger. He said excitedly, "Ayu, did you eat something in Wandu Valley recently that can make meat grow here?"
"Don't talk nonsense, this... has already been finalized, how can it grow longer." Xia Zihan's pretty face was as shy as Hongxia.
