Chapter 70: Flying water all over the sky, fire everywhere

The Nanyang horse drawn by the divine brush is fat and strong, full of spirituality. Pulling the drawn carriage tirelessly for three days, pulling the five Cixuan to the beautiful town of Binma. Compared with Ava, Binmana is warmer, more comfortable and less noisy. Compared with Snow Moon City, the strange ** trees are missing, and the emerald coconut trees are all over the city. Generally speaking, it is a natural and peaceful scene, which makes people feel relaxed and comfortable.

Ci Xuan and others were in a good mood and rushed to Binma on the day before the Water Splashing Festival. Find a restaurant to fill your stomach. Stay in an inn and have a rest. Binma City is a small city, and there are not many fascinating places, and there is no need to visit the city. Ci Xuan and others simply hid in the inn and talked about the fun of the world, waiting for the arrival of tomorrow's Water Splashing Festival.

After a good night's sleep, the sunrise on the first day of the Water Splashing Festival is ushered in. The sky is beautiful, cloudless, and the gentle sunshine shines on people's faces, sharing the joy of the festival. People call this day "McDay" to represent the death of the devil and people being saved.

When the "Mai Day" comes, everyone doesn't wash their hair, cut their hair, or work. Men and children put on festive costumes, picked flowers and green leaves to worship in the Buddhist temple, and piled four or five sand towers in the temple. Secular sentient beings sat around the tower, listened to the Buddha chanting the scriptures, and then carried the Buddha statue to the courtyard. The women of the whole village came to clarify the water to wash the Buddha statue.

After bathing in the Buddhist temple, young men and women quit splashing water with each other. People use copper bowls, washbasins and even buckets to hold water, crowd out of the streets and alleys, play and chase, and splash every person. You splash me, I splash you. Water flowers bloom in the air. It symbolizes auspiciousness, happiness and health. The bright crystal drops of water in the young man's hands also symbolizes sweet love. Everyone splashed at each other, full of water baptism, water blessings, and water songs. The water flowers laughed, and the Water Splashing Festival became a sea of joy.

People think that this is auspicious water, blessed water, which can eliminate disasters and diseases, so they pour it to their heart's content. Whether it is splashed or those who are splashed, although they are soaked from head to toe, they are still extremely happy. A splash bloomed in the laughter of the crowd, reflecting a gorgeous light under the sun.

In line with devotion to God, Fat smiled and did not participate in the Buddha bath activities in the Buddhist temple. When they splashed water on each other, he was the one who was the most happy and laughing. His fat body was soaked, and he was still running and jumping quickly without any clumsiness.

As a Buddhist monk, Ci Xuan was particularly "considerated" and a basin of water splashed him into water and Shang. Not only is the water flowing rapidly all over the body, but even the eyes don't have time to open. Fortunately, with Feng Qi's help, Cixuan had a gasp opportunity. As a princess, Suya was also splashed into a phoenix that fell into the water, but she was extremely happy and really had fun with the people. Zaodan protected Suya, and he was sneezing directly by the water, and the damaging mouth was also splashed into the water.

Feng Qi has a lot of ideas. His weak body was a little overwhelmed when he saw a basin of water, and he hurriedly used stealth to hide it. Then he tried his best to splash others. Seeing that the fat man who usually quarreled with him was laughing happily over there, Feng Qi splashed the water on the fat uncle. The fat smile was stunned by the sudden water. He didn't have time to think of Feng Qi, and he splashed dizzy, which made Feng Qi happy!

In the morning, people have to sing and dance in addition to splashing water. From 70 to 80 years old, to 70 or 18 years old, dolls put on festive costumes and gathered in the village square. Men, women and children gathered in a circle and danced with gongs and drums. Some dance "peacock dance"; some dance "Yu La"; some improvise, singing and dancing; the movements are beautiful and the singing is touching; the rhythm is clear and the enthusiasm is full. Jump to the happy, or break out "water! Water! Water!" The cheers may end with the song of "Yu La, Yu La". Some men drank while dancing, drunkenly, and even fell drunk on the dance floor.

Water Splashing Festival is also a good time for unmarried young men and women to find love and cultivate happiness. At this time, unmarried young men and women like to play "lost bags" games to find partners and express their admiration.

The flower bag carefully made with floral cloth in the girl's hand is a token of love. The girls dressed up to the best, and then came to the "bundom" with umbrellas and small flower bags. They lined up with the young men on both sides, 30 or 40 steps apart, and began to throw flower bags at each other. If the young man can't catch the flower bag thrown by the girl, he has to insert the pre-prepared flowers into the girl's hair. If the girl can't pick up the bag thrown by the young man, she has to insert the flowers into the young man's chest... In this way, she gradually selects the other party, and a romantic love story begins.

"Sanlang, Suya, you two should also participate in the "lost bag" game. It's also a funny thing to follow the local customs." Zaodan's happy proposal.

"Yes, the godmother is right! If you want a bag, I'll draw it for you. Is it just that Sanlang's appearance as a Buddhist monk should change? Feng Qi laughed.

A shy smile and look at Cixuan. Ci Xuan thought for a moment and had his opinion. He said, "You don't have to change your appearance and deceive yourself. Since my heart is elegant and doomed to be vulgar, I should show my true face today. Buddha and monk, it's okay!"

Fat said with a smile and said, "For sure, Uncle Fat wants to remind you that most of the people here believe in Buddhism. If they see a Buddhist monk also talking about love, they will be very disgusted. Why don't you return to vulgarity immediately, take off your Buddha's appearance, and return to God's arms as soon as possible.

When the fat uncle said this, Ci Xuan and Su Ya's face became solemn. There are worries in my heart, and I can't help but be in a dilemma. Su Ya said, "In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, we should take into account the people's perceptions. There is no need to be disliked in full view of the public. Sanlang and I are sincere, and there is no regrets not doing this "losing" game.

A sincere sentence makes Cixuan's heart bloom. Listen to it in your ears, honey into your heart. He looked at Suya affectionately and nodded in agreement. It's just that Zaodan felt sorry and looked a little helpless. Feng Qi took the opportunity to pat the fat uncle and smiled, "I think it's better to let the fat uncle and the godmother play this "lost bag" game!" Fat uncle is embarrassed to say it. Feng Qi will say it for you.

"Feng Qi, you boy, dare to make fun of your godmother!" Zao Dan looked angry and shy, which made Feng Qi laugh. He cleared his voice and said, "The godmother is really willing. She is embarrassed in front of our younger generation. It seems that the fat uncle is going to suffer again. If she wants to play this "lost bag" game, she will have to wait for next year."

Zaodan stared at Feng Qi, but couldn't help laughing. Fat smiled sweetly and sourly, and said solemnly, "What Suya just said, Zaodan and I also agree. Near the water, the platform gets the moon first, and the flowers and trees are easy to spring. It will be a long time."

Fat smiled and said so. Zaodan was really shy and couldn't hide his joy. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Feng Qicixuan is still elegant, but he can't laugh. Zaodan stared at Feng Qi and said, "You can make us happy. When you find a daughter-in-law, the godmother will ask her to take good care of your mouth. At that time, let's see if you dare to speak freely."

When Feng Qi heard this, his face darkened and said unhappily, "The godmother is really poisonous, but she exposes the scars. In my thirties, I don't have a daughter-in-law yet. I'm most afraid of who will mention it. However, Feng Qi is not pitiful. She really can't lift any pot. If so, I dare not joke with my godmother anymore.

Zao Dan felt embarrassed when he heard this. He quickly said that he was open-mouthed and advised Feng Qi not to take it to heart. Feng Qicai smiled reluctantly. Ci Xuan and Fat Uncle knew that Feng Qi often felt inferior** and signaled Zaodan to understand. When Su Ya saw Feng Qi like this for the first time, she felt that Feng Qi was a little careful and warned herself not to say anything wrong in the future.

However, Feng Qi is such a person who speaks ruthlessly when he is inferior. After a while, he laughed again. During the day, the activities of the Water Splashing Festival are colorful, and all kinds of delicious food make people feel refreshed and comfortable. Ci Xuan and others also enjoyed it.

At night, the villages rose. High rise is another reserved program of the Water Splashing Festival. This is a bonfire made by the Dai people. A bamboo several feet long is filled with gunpowder and other ingredients at the roots and placed on an elevated bamboo taro. Put on the lead and often set off at night. When it rises, lighting the lead to make the gunpowder burn will produce strong thrust and push the bamboo into the sky like a rocket. The bamboo spit out white smoke and made a whistling sound. At the same time, it sprayed gorgeous fireworks in the air, like clusters of flowers, and the stars were shining and dazzling, which was very wonderful. The festive night sky is particularly beautiful. On the ground, cheers and cheers came one after another, and the voices of discussion and praise were endless, so lively. People also feel more glorious and auspicious when they fly farther and farther. Those who get the highest promotion are appreciated and rewarded.

This time, Cixuan participated enthusiastically. Ci Xuan looked at the rising fireworks, thinking about Taiwan, the remaining territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the continent under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty, and his heart was surging. Su Ya's cheering is really interesting, and Zaodan still thinks that it is not high enough. Fat smiles and prays to God, thanking God for giving him such a beautiful day. Feng Qi simply took out his magic pen and quickly drew fireworks while others were not paying attention. Let the ink and fireworks rise to the highest. Several people are fully integrated into the festive atmosphere.

Dragon boat racing at night is the most exciting event of the Water Splashing Festival. People dressed in festive costumes gathered by the river to watch the dragon boat race. There were green dragon boats moored on the river. Dozens of strong sailors sat on the ship. With the sound of the order, the dragon ship ready to fly forward like an arrow. Suddenly, the sound of drums, gongs, horns and cheers on the whole river, one after another, the atmosphere of the festival has reached a high tide here...

This is the first day of the unforgettable Water Splashing Festival, and it is also the happiest day for Cixuan and others on their way to the south.

In the middle of the night, the people gradually dispersed. After playing for a day, I'm tired enough. Ci Xuan and others couldn't stand sleepiness and went from place to place like everyone else. Back at the inn, undressed, and slept soundly for a while.

The next morning, Binma, who was haunted by thick fog, was still immersed in his sleep. The whole city is a little too quiet. Yesterday's noise is in sharp contrast to today's quietness. Maybe it's really tired. Maybe it's because ** was fully released yesterday. When the second day of the Water Splashing Festival came, the people quietly hid in their homes, and almost no one went out.

It has been a long time for Cixuan to wake up. Seeing Feng Qi and Pang, who woke up earlier, were playing chess with a smile, they asked, "Uncle Fat, big brother. Have you had breakfast? Why didn't you wake me up? Did the godmother and Suya get up?

Pang replied with a smile, "We have eaten, and Zaodan and Suya have also eaten. Seeing how well you slept, I didn't wake you up. Anyway, today is 'Net Brain' Day, and it's just washing during the day. There is no activity. It won't be a problem if you sleep more.

"Yes, Sanlang. Sleep a while more, refresh yourself during the day, and still participate in activities at night. You don't stay up late like us. I play chess with my fat uncle. Let's find a bathhouse together later and wash it well. Feng Qi said while playing chess.

Ci Xuan smiled and said, "Yesterday, I was soaked in water all day. Haven't you washed it yet?"

Fat replied with a smile: "This is a custom. Didn't Zadan say that the second day of Water Splashing Day is considered an unclean day. Because it is said that this day is a day of evil spirits. By the way, what Suya said in the legend, it also has a similar meaning.

Fatty smiled and just spoke, not paying attention to Feng Qi's move of a chess piece. Feng Qi laughed and said, "Uncle Fat, you have to accept defeat now. Feng Qicheng gave in.

Fat looked at it with a panic and said unconvincedly, "I'm not very good at chess for you Han people. It's reasonable to lose.

Feng Qi replied, "I didn't expect that the fat uncle protected by God would also be defeated by Feng Qi. It seems that God doesn't know chess.

Fat said with a smile and curled his mouth, "It's you who don't understand God."

At this moment, Zaodan and Suya came. Zaodan heard the conversation between Pang Zai and Feng Qi and joked, "I don't know if God can know the origin of the Water Splashing Festival? Am I right, or is Suya right?

Feng Qi laughed: "The godmother asked a good question. As soon as the godmother said it, the fat uncle immediately spoke hoarsely. In the fat uncle's heart, is it God or Godmother? This is a big problem."

When Feng Qi said this, everyone laughed loudly. Zaodan wanted to pretend to be angry, but he couldn't pretend to be angry. Fat smiling is staring at Zaodan's face, which is sweet in his heart. Su Ya and Ci Xuan looked at each other and were very happy. Feng Qi was even more happy when he said this. On the stinky day of the evil god, no one feels that there is anything unknown.

Su Ya said, "My godmother and I are going to the bathhouse to wash. So let me tell you. I'm worried that you won't find us."

Ci Xuan said, "Just now, we were also talking about going to the bathhouse to wash. Uncle Fat lost chess, let's go out together.

Everyone agreed, so they went to find a bathhouse outside the inn and cleaned it well. After spending the afternoon, Binma, who had been silent for 100 days, became lively again.

In the evening, Binmana held activities to set off fireworks and lanterns, and the people hoped to get rid of all the diseases, disasters and dirty things of the year. Especially the rush is the most lively. It not only has a temple fair that integrates sacrifices, gatherings, arts and commerce, but also many other lively programs. In such an atmosphere, people feel full of vitality. Zaodan and Suya love all kinds of jewelry. Feng Qi used stealth to play tricks on people for fun. Fat smiled and told Ci Xuan about some of the festivals he attended in the West. Cixuan and the five people, like the people of Binmana, did not expect that disaster was about to come here.

"No, it's on fire!!" Just as everyone was having fun, the crowd shouted like this. This sound was like a bolt from the blue, which made everyone deeply frightened. According to local legend, if there is a fire during the Water Splashing Festival. That means the resurrection of the fire demon. And this fire-headed demon is the evil god who cut off his head in those years.

"Is the evil god resurrected?" Zao Dan also knew this statement and immediately panicked. She really doesn't want to meet monsters again, although none of them are idle. Su Ya, who was beside her, saw that Zao Dan was so frightened and hurried to ask about the reason. Zaodan told him frankly. Suya was also a little worried, but still comforted: "Maybe it's the usual fire, not the resurrection of the evil god." In the legend of the Water Splashing Festival I heard, there is no talk about the fire-headed demon. Mother, don't worry."

Ci Xuan and others also heard the dialogue between Zao Dan and Su Ya. Ci Xuan said, "Even if it is really the resurrection of the evil god, he will become a fire demon to harm people. I can also bring it down. Let it fly away." Zaodan frowned and said, "What else?" I think it's more likely to let the fire-headed demon come here. If any goblin knows your whereabouts, isn't it desperate to chase you?"

Ci Xuan said helplessly, "Gang. I don't know who spread the rumor that I can become the king of the demon world if I eat it. These goblins all have mana, and you should know that this is not true. But they all believe it. However, if the goblins come because of me, I will also take the opportunity to get rid of them. It's also for the people to eliminate harm.

"Sanlang, I don't think it's good. Why is the fire getting bigger and bigger over there? Oh, the whole shop has burned up, and it has burned people!" Feng Qi exclaimed.

As Feng Qi said, the fire came suddenly and spread quickly. Just after Cixuan and the others were talking, the fire had spread. The whole business shop burned down. At first, the people were nervously splashing water and wanted to put out the fire. But I had to give up soon. The fire became more and more prosperous, spreading to people and burning people into firemen. The people struggled desperately and were miserable. Binma, who was originally happy, turned into hell.

"This fire is strange. Could it be that it is evil? Wait for me to open my eyes and watch it carefully. Ci Xuan said, waved his finger in front of him, opened his eyes and looked at the flames in the sky alertly. At this glance, I saw the evil demon clearly.

In the flames, a ferocious firehead is hanging there. The demon looks powerful and sharp-eyed. Ci Xuan concluded that this demon was the legendary fire-headed demon. There will be a fierce battle tonight. And the fiery demon has also felt two magic eyes staring at him. Turning his head, it turned out to be such a young Buddhist monk as Cixuan. Looking carefully, the firehead demon is really surprised and happy. It has seen that the Buddha monk who stared at him is not someone else, but the dragon Buddha prince who can become the king of the demon world by eating it.
