Elf’s Shorts Boy

Chapter 577: The festival begins

Latest website: Although staying as a guest at Liu Qing's house, Liang Ren and Bi Diao still have no relaxation training, and urgently prepare for the imminent Divine Bird Festival.

Every day is busy and fulfilling, which makes Liu Qing and Liu Hong admire this.

Obviously, he has left his peers far behind, and his beloved and his Pokémon still have strict requirements on themselves. Only this hardworking spirit and attitude makes Liu Hong, who is his age, very ashamed.

Two days later in the blink of an eye, the whole Yinyu City became lively in the early morning.

The citizens are still preparing breakfast at home, and the early bird Pokémon has already circled and sang in the sky above Yinyu City.

As a colony of bird trainers, every household in Yinyu City is cultivating bird Pokémon, whether it is Kanto, Chengdu, Fangyuan, Shenao..., all kinds of bird Pokémon are in the sky above Yinyu City. can see.

Proud Swallows, King Swallows, Long-winged Gulls, Big-billed Gulls, Bizarre Birds, Toucan, Cat-headed Nighthawks...

In this grand festival, there are no gorgeous banners, streamers, hydrogen balloons, or festive fireworks, but the vibrant silhouettes and sweet singing of various beautiful bird Pokémon.

But even so, in the fresh and verdant city of nature, Yinyu City, the bushes wiping shoulders and shoulders became frolic in this festival.

He ate breakfast with Liu Hong and Liu Shi. As the president of the Bird Trainer Association, Mr. Liu Sheng, today's "Divine Bird Festival" needs him to coordinate and direct the whole process.

Liu Qing is the leader of the bird trainer's line in Yinyu City. He and his younger generations are the main participants in today's God Bird Festival activities.

"Xiaohong, my dear, if you two are ready, we will set off to the downtown square." Liu Hong's father, Liu Shi, shouted downstairs from the villa.

"Alright, alright~"

"Uncle Liu Shi, I am also ready here."

Bringing the Drifting Beast and Leo Road downstairs, Bi Diao had already been partnered with the bird Pokémon of Liu Qing and Liu Hong, and joined the "Bird Guard of Honor" in the sky.

"Okay, then let's set off." Liu Shi's face was red, and he looked very happy.

"My dear, Xiaohong, you two must cheer for today's challenge event~"

In the long car with the Liu family and his daughter, the three rushed to the central square where the sacrificial activities were held.

Liu Shi has no talent as a trainer, and is not a distinguished bird trainer. He cannot participate in many ritual activities today.

Liu Hong is a girl, her beloved is an outsider, and the two of them don't need to participate in the ancestor worship of the bird trainer's line.

However, in this grand and solemn festival, both father and daughter are still wearing traditional national costumes of bird trainers.

The Liu family is very warm and hospitable. He stayed for three days and his relationship with this family has become very close.

For this reason, whether it is going to the village to follow the customs, or simply showing closeness and respect to the Liu family, the beloved today also asked Liu Hong to help him prepare a set of traditional costumes from the line of bird trainers.

Dark blue embroidered short sleeves with narrow sleeves and right cardigan trousers with pleated wide trousers, wearing a black cloth hat with bird feathers on the head, and a black cloak-shaped ornament called'chava' Pieces, a pair of cloth shoes with green face and white bottom on the feet.

I usually dress in a casual urban style. Suddenly wearing such a set of strong ethnic costumes, the beloved raised his hand and looked at himself left and right, which seemed very strange.

"Giggle~" Looking at the funny appearance of her lover, Liu Hong who sat opposite him couldn't help but chuckled.

"My brother, don't look at it. You are a walking hanger. No matter what style of clothes you wear, you are very handsome." Liu Hong said with a sigh in his voice, holding the dumb beast.

"Really?" The beloved was a little doubtful.

As a youthful girl, Liu Hong is wearing an embroidered blouse and a white pleated skirt today. The bottom edge of the skirt is inlaid with multiple layers of colored cloth.

Different from Liu Shi's black dignified appearance and heroic and handsome appearance, Liu Hong's dress today is brightly colored but harmonious and beautiful, giving people a very unique charm.

The sun is getting taller. After breakfast, more and more citizens rush to the central square of the city. The closer to the central ceremonial square, the greater the flow of people. The car they ride in the beloved cannot continue to go far away.

"If the car can't get past, let's walk over." Liu Shi asked the driver to pull over and said, turning his head to Liu Hong who was chatting.

"Good~"

"Wow—"

The soundproofing effect in the luxury car is very good, but when the three people pulled the door and got out of the car, all kinds of sounds came over instantly.

"It's so lively!" Liu Hong approached her beloved and shouted and preached to him.

"It's really lively." The beloved picked Leo Lu, who was not tall enough, turned his head and shouted at Liu Hong with a smile.

Some time ago, I took the Pokémon alone to experience in the rainforest, and stayed as a guest in the Liu's Manor these two days, and the environment was also very quiet and peaceful.

Suddenly in the noisy crowds, the beloved was a bit uncomfortable for a while, but in this beaming festival celebration, everyone had a smile on his face, so the beloved did not reject it.

Following Liu Hong and his daughter, they squeezed towards the sacrificial square, near the sacrificial square, the trainer of the bird trainer lined up a circle of wooden fences forbidden to be approached by outsiders.

Foreign tourists carrying cameras are blocked at the outermost level. Even if they sign up for the "Divine Bird Festival" challenge activity, they are not allowed to enter at this moment.

But the beloved is different.

Dressed in traditional national costumes, with Liu Hong and his daughter opening the road next to him, not only did he pass unimpeded, but the young trainer who was responsible for maintaining order looked at them and his group with respect and proper VIP treatment in his eyes.

A group of young people carried out sacrificial activities under the leadership of the surrounding middle-aged and elderly people. The leader among the younger generations was Liu Qing, who followed Liu Sheng out early in the morning.

The square could not be entered yet, but a high platform for viewing had been built around the square with wood. The beloved was sitting in front of the high platform behind Liu Hong and his daughter.

Looked down--

In the center of the central square, there is a huge banyan tree, and the dense canopy stretches out in the sky like a canopy. The beloved glanced at his heart and estimated that the ancient banyan tree is at least two hundred meters long.

The entangled tree trunk is at least thick with seven or eight people. The trunk is tied with a rope, and the branches are tied with red cloth strips of various wishes. The incense smoke from the surrounding sacrificial offerings curls up.

"What a big ancient banyan tree." The beloved couldn't help sighing.

"Of course, this is the tree king of Yinyu City. It is more than 3,000 years old. The huge root system has covered the entire Yinyu City. Except for the "Forest of the Elderly", the entire city is made of banyan trees. The descendants of the tree king. "

"Furthermore, according to the records of the clan, it is said that when the sacred bird festival was held in the ancient times, the sacred bird once landed on the branch of the tree king and accepted the sacrifices of the ancestors to celebrate the festival with the ancestors."

Liu Shi was chatting with his peers in the surrounding tribes, and Liu Hong could not help but explain when seeing his beloved sigh.

"Did the 3,000-year-old tree and the legendary divine bird dock on its branches? No wonder it can be called the tree king." The beloved nodded, full of admiration in his heart.

He is a traverser, and he is very interested in the things with a long history in the Pokémon world.

"..."

The tourists outside the square are very noisy, and the sacrificial activities on the white marble square below are in full swing.

On the stand where the beloved is, there are many women and children. Women are not qualified to participate in sacrificial activities, and men in the tribe are not qualified if they are not bird trainers.

Seeing Geng Liuhong sitting with her beloved, Miaomiao and Yuou who came with her family, they also ran over after saying hello from a distance.

There are still many children in the stands playing and playing, children who are not yet thirteen years old and have no Pokémon on hand, regardless of whether they are men or women, are currently spectators.

"..."

The "Divine Bird Festival" had been prepared for nearly a month before the arrival of the beloved, and it was determined through divination that today was the festival day. The younger generations of the clan entered the "Elder's Forest" to use the spirit tube and had already invited their ancestor spirits back.

The sacrifice officially began at nine o'clock in the morning. Under the leadership of Mr. Liu Shi as the chief priest, Liu Qing and the younger generations behind him started the sacrifice one by one according to the process.

Burn incense and paper, recite sutras...

In the magnificent music of the Spring Festival, Liu Qing and other juniors in the tribe took off their shirts and bare-armed their feet, their bodies were doused with balm, and their faces were painted with color.

First, they held hands in a circle, danced a sacrificial dance around the tree king, and sang chants of blessing.

Sacrifice to divine birds and worship ancestors, first by kneeling down to the ground, and then a blessing ceremony.

After a while, the younger generations left the ceremonial square carrying the spirit tube in twos.

Follow the route planned at the beginning, make a circle around the old city, return the spirit tube from house to house to the ancestral hall, and finally return to the sacrificial square.

The sun rose higher and higher, and all the sacrificial ceremonies ended, it was already noon.

Some women and children who are responsible for preparing food for the festival have already arranged a dam feast around the sacrificial square with their sleeves in arms.

Everyone on the stands, men and women, young and old, went down to the dams around the square and sat with the sacrificial team. The aroma of the food spread out in all directions, and the tourists' Adam's apples outside the wooden fence were seen rolling.

It's a pity that this is a bird trainer's line. Only people who are famous in the clan genealogy can participate in the banquet. Foreign tourists can't participate even if they give gifts and money. However, the beloved is a guest of the Liu family, and there is no problem with eating a meal.

The "Blessing of the Divine Bird" challenge will not take place until the afternoon~lightnovelpub.net~ The bird Pokémon who have flown all morning also landed in the whistle of the owner.

"Bi Diao, replenish your energy, and I will look at you in the afternoon~" After feeding the prepared grains to Bi Diao, the beloved glanced in the direction of "The Forest of the Elder" and said confidently.

"Beep Eagle--"

At the dam banquet, there was no complicated rules and regulations during the morning sacrificial ceremony. The respected old people gathered in a small circle, the dignified middle-aged people gathered in a small circle, and the younger generations who were going to participate in the challenge in the afternoon were also gathered together. Have something to talk about.

As a guest of the Liu family, Liang Ren thought he was just coming over to eat at the banquet. Except for the Liu family siblings and the two daughters of Miao Miao Yuou, no one at the table should know him.

However, to his surprise, he followed Liu Qing and the others at the table. The others at the same table looked at him and looked at the silly beast and Leo Lu in his arms. Someone shouted directly. Got his name.

"Damn, Yuan Hua~"
