Chapter 117 Panda Dance
"Girl, you are not from our Bashu land, are you? Is this your first time here?"
"When you come to our Huanglongxi Village, you are a distinguished guest. Come, come, and enjoy the best wine."
"How can a girl hang a wine gourd around her waist like a man?"
……
Shen Anzhi was sitting in the tea shed at the entrance of the village holding a long sword. The boss here was very enthusiastic. He saw that Shen Anzhi was a foreigner and brought her a pot of good wine and a plate of peanuts soaked in vinegar.
This is the first time Shen Anzhi has set foot on the legendary land of Bashu, and the journey has been full of travel and dust.
Huanglongxi Village is a place full of charm and poetry.
Walking into Huanglongxi Village is like stepping into a peaceful and beautiful landscape painting.
The ancient buildings are arranged in an orderly manner, with green tiles and white walls, telling the story of the years.
Beside the village, a clear stream flows, that is Huanglong River.
The stream is like a flexible ribbon, sparkling in the sun.
There are weeping willows beside the stream, and the willow branches dance with the wind, adding a touch of gentle greenery to the village.
Because he was deceived by the spiritual snake in Sanqing Mountain, with hatred and expectations for the future, Shen Anzhi must find a way to adjust the balance of spiritual power in his body here, and kill the black python general.
Seeing Shen Anzhi enjoying the vinegar-soaked peanuts without saying anything, Grandma Liu, the owner of the tea shed, wandered to the table while looking up and down.
"Grandma, I heard that the land of Bashu belongs to cultivators..."
"Yes, yes, yes, those who are cultivating immortals, those who are leisurely, and those who are trying to fish in troubled waters all come to Bashu. Our land of Bashu is full of outstanding people and is a good place for cultivators."
"Oh." Shen Anzhi nodded and smiled after hearing this. He didn't expect everyone here to be so enthusiastic.
"By the way, girl, where are you from? Where are you going?" Grandma sat down.
Shen Anzhi put down the chopsticks in his hand: "I come from Sanqing Mountain, my name is Shen Anzhi. I heard from my master that the land of Bashu is a paradise for cultivators, so I came here."
Grandma Liu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, the name Shen Anzhi sounds nice, nice, haha."
After finishing speaking, Grandma Liu poured the wine and continued to introduce: "There are holy places for cultivation everywhere in Bashu, including Shu Mountain, Emei Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain, Shunan Bamboo Sea, the Sacred Mountain, and the mysterious Daocheng. There are too many. , Taoist friends and immortals from all over the world gathered here.”
These words touched Shen Anzhi's heart. Sure enough, he came to the right place. Now his level is a ten-dollar demon-slaying master, but his spiritual power, cultivation, and skills are not even as good as a seven-dollar demon-slaying master. He must find a place to work hard. Adjust the spiritual power, cultivation, and skills in his body to achieve balance.
"Where is the best place?" Shen Anzhi asked curiously.
Grandma looked around, pondered for a moment and said: "Looking at what you practice, and looking at your appearance, you should be a demon slayer. The best place is the Bamboo Sea in southern Sichuan, where you have many peers."
Bamboo Sea in southern Sichuan.
The image of Zhuhai in Shen Anzhi's mind was ready to come out, and then he nodded repeatedly.
"By the way, grandma, have any monsters appeared in the village recently? For example, the black python."
Shen Anzhi wants to find out the whereabouts of General Black Python who has fled to Shu,
Grandma didn't seem to listen to Shen Anzhi's words. She looked at the pretty girl standing up and nodded repeatedly.
"Girl, look, it's getting dark today. Just in time, our village is having a bonfire party tonight."
"Bonfire party!"
This was the first time Shen Anzhi heard about the bonfire party and the first time he came to the land of Bashu. Of course he was very curious. In addition, it was getting late, so he decided to stay in Huanglongxi Village.
"Come on, come on, fill up your glass with wine. This vinegar-soaked peanut is the best dish to go with wine in our village."
"Thank you, thank you grandma, it's really delicious."
"By the way, how can you, a girl, get a man's wine gourd?"
"This, haha, belongs to an old friend."......
As night falls, Huanglongxi Village is lit up by blazing bonfires.
The flames jumped in the night sky, reflecting the cheerful faces of the villagers.
In the open space of the village, people gathered around the bonfire, and laughter echoed throughout the village.
Children were playing among the crowd, holding homemade toys in their hands, with innocent smiles on their faces.
The women, dressed in brightly colored traditional costumes, chatted and swayed slightly to the music.
"Anzhi, Anzhi, come on, put this on and dance."
"Dancing?"
Facing a skin bag and a panda hood brought by Grandma Liu, Shen Anzhi wanted to cry but had no tears. Although she had a slender and agile figure, she knew nothing about dancing.
"Grandma, grandma, forget it, forget it, I really can't dance."
"Oh, today is the annual Panda Festival in our village. Everyone is happy."
Following Granny Liu’s eyes, she looked at the open space in front of the village,
With the beating of original music, a group of dancers dressed in panda-like costumes began to dance the traditional panda dance.
Their costumes are furry, black and white, and realistically mimic the appearance of pandas.
The dancers wear panda hoods, and their round heads sway gently with the movements, which is extremely cute.
At the beginning of the dance, the dancers took light and elastic steps, imitating the panda's short and fat forelimbs with their hands, bending and swinging slightly, as if they were naive pandas strolling.
"This panda dance has a history of thousands of years, we are here to teach you."
"Go, go, together, together."
In this way, Shen Anzhi joined the ranks of dancers at the urging of Granny Liu and the other two women. Although she didn't know how to dance, she followed the instructions and laughed and laughed.
Seeing the audience applauding, the smile on Grandma Liu's face disappeared.
"Old woman, is this girl you are talking about reliable?"
The old village chief Yang Daiwu on the side walked slowly to Grandma Liu's side with a cane.
"Hey..., there is no other way. Who is willing to sacrifice their own children? She just arrived in the village today. She seems to be from Sanqing Mountain. Now that I have met her, I..."
"Over the years, our village has probably sent ten girls to Wollongong. Hey, I really feel sorry for their family, so guilty, hey..."
Yang Daiwu seemed unwilling to mention the unbearable past, so he wiped his tears and walked towards the ancestral hall.
Just tonight, Huanglongxi Village is actually holding a sacrificial event. "Panda Dance" is a sacrificial dance. After the sacrificial ceremony, a little fairy will be sent to Wollongong.
It turned out that this little fairy was a little fairy from the village who had just turned eighteen. When the whole family was crying over this incident, Shen Anzhi's arrival gave them hope.
"Grandma, grandma, it's so fun, hahaha."
Shen Anzhi, who was tired from dancing, was about to take off his hood but was stopped by his grandma.
"Anzhi, don't take it off. If you take it off, the best blessings will be gone."
"Ah? There is another way to say it, okay."
"Yes, look at you, you are the only white cat in the team, and you are blessed by them."
"Wow,
New story, new beginning
