Chapter 184 Eye-opener

Xiaoqiong was instinctively shocked. She sensed the danger signal and stopped. She wanted to see who the owner of the eyes was, but these eyes did not come again. There were only tourists coming and going in front of her. It was still bustling. It was a peaceful scene. Xiaoqiong rubbed her eyes and searched with her eyes. It was still the same in front of her eyes. Well, there was nothing left. Seeing that she was strange, Erhei couldn't help asking, "Joan, Joan, are you--?"

Xiaoqiong didn't want to affect the mood of the parade, which made Erhei lost interest. She thought that since Erhei didn't see it, she might be dazzled and didn't think deeply. She casually said, "Erhei, it's okay. Let's continue!"

The two swam until noon, and the sun became hot. Xiaoqiong felt hot and her stomach was a little hungry. She took Erhei into a bar-like street snack bar and stopped. She found that the boss would sit in business. The table was placed outside the store, which was convenient for guests to stay and rest. There was also a willow shade on the street, and there was one in front of the small shop. The river flowed through. Xiaoqiong felt poetic, cool and comfortable. She sat down and bought two bowls of soybean noodles. It can be regarded as the first side of Lijiang. The noodles are translucent. The ancestral secret recipe is made of 10 yuan per bowl, and rice enema. It is also a unique flavor food in Lijiang. It consists of pig blood, rice and various spices. According to A certain ratio is mixed together, and the rice sausage made by pouring into processed pig intestines is cut into round slices when eating, or fried in hot oil, or steamed in a steamer. The most important thing is that the rice anema is simple and oily color, rich in fragrance and high nutritional value. It is a good product for nourishing blood and qi, which makes people can't help but want to pay for its taste.

While eating, the two enjoyed the amorous feelings of Lijiang. Under the shade of willows and in the soft wind, they watched the clear water flow quietly. Xiaoqiong and Erhei chatted and enjoyed the unprecedented leisure in the city, so that the body could completely relax. But Xiaoqiong's appearance was eye-catching wherever she went, and people in the past would When she came back and looked at her, Xiaoqiong saw a wandering artist carrying a clip on his back and looked at herself admiringly. Without any evil thoughts, she suddenly became interested. She invited the wandering artist to come over and asked him to sit down. He looked a little flattered. Xiaoqiong asked him not to be nervous and explained that the map was to let him give Erhei and himself. Painting portraits is a special collection in the ancient city.

The artist sat in the water and drew attentively. Xiaoqiong and Erhei finished eating. When they had enough rest, the artist also drew it. Xiaoqiong wanted to pay, but the artist shook his head and refused. Xiaoqiong was a little puzzled. The artist staggered and explained, "I'm from Taiwan. I don't live by buying paintings here. I can It's my honor to meet a woman like you and smell the wild roses on your body. Can I invite you to Naxi Street to dance Sanxuan dance in the evening?"

Xiaoqiong saw that he was eye-catching, and it was not easy to refuse. She thought that after dinner in the evening, she would also go to the street to take a look at the local folk customs, and then agreed. Xiaoqiong took Erhei to visit the murals of Mufu. These murals were relatively well preserved. There were Taoist, Buddhist gods, and Lama's tantric Buddha statues, and There are Chinese, Tibetan, Naxi, and integrated, fine drawing, smooth pen, well-proportioned lines, bright colors, strong three-dimensional sense, so that Erhei can truly appreciate Naxi culture.

Xiaoqiong also took Erhei to listen to classical large-scale music and Lijiang ancient music "White Sand Fine Music". This music is tragic and fierce, lingering, sad and touching inner feelings. It is said that when Kublai Khan crossed Lijiang in the Southern Expedition, he was welcomed by Mai Liang, the chief of the Naxi ethnic group, and Assisted him to conquer neighboring areas. When leaving, Kublai Khan gave some bands and some movements to Mai Liang as a souvenir. After Kublai Khan returned to Beijing and ascended the throne, he asked about the band, and Mai Liang sent him an unnamed movement. Kublai Khan replied that this movement is called "A Book", and "A Book" is a sign of attachment after parting.

Another legend is that the Mu Tianwang in the Ming Dynasty wanted to annex the area where the Xibo people lived. He first married his daughter to the Prince of Xibo, and then took his daughter back to Lijiang to plan to kill the Prince of Xibo. When the daughter knew that his father was careful, she wrote a letter on the neck of the dog who followed him and put it back to inform the prince. The prince led the army to attack the Mu Tianwang, but he was ambushed and died in the white sand.

Mu Tianwang locked his daughter in the dragon pavilion in Yuhu and tortured her to death. The two movements "A Book" and "Princess Cry" describe this matter. Xiaoqiong explained the reason and legend she heard this music to Erhei. Erhei listened with relishly. She shook her head and was silent for a while. Xiaoqiong felt The second black elephant entered the role. He didn't want him to drill into the horns of the ox, and took him to a small square. There is a performance of "Wenmaida", "Arere", "Sanduo Dance" and other tunes that are widely spread in the folk poetry and dance. It comes from the Dongjing music and Huangjing music of the Han nationality. Because this set of music has been in the past for a long time. It is widely played in the Western region, and gradually integrates the style of the Naxi people in the spread. Some musical instruments add a large jumping decorative sound when playing, and the smooth and trill with a large interval, which dilutes the original beautiful and elegant silk bamboo music style of the Han people and turns it into a rough and powerful music full of strong national color, making this ancient The music glows with new vitality, which will be refreshing to listen to.

Going further, Xiaoqiong also saw that the people of the Dongba Sect held the Dongba ceremony here. In fact, it was to sacrifice to the sky. Two yellow chestnut trees and a cypress tree were erected in the center of the sacrificial place. It is said that it represented the Heavenly Father, the Heavenly Mother and the Heavenly Uncle respectively. Under the sacrificial tree, they put incense, made offerings, and sacrifices were painted on one face and hung on his body. Some branches and some plants almost expose half of their upper body. People recite the Dongba Sutra "Chongmotu", that is, human migration, remembering ancestors, praising heroes, and praising creation. They are used to pass on the historical origin, strengthen national unity, and pray for good weather, and peace in the world.

Xiaoqiong guessed that she might be a priest, immediately following the sacrificial office. According to the records of Dongba, the department and people are half-brothers. The department is in charge of farming and animal husbandry. Later, people constantly destroyed forests, polluting water sources and killing wild animals, resulting in the department's retaliating against people, causing people suffering from diseases, plagues, floods, earthquakes and other disasters. In order to express people's faults and pray for disaster relief, mankind asked Dimbasuro to coordinate and establish a harmonious relationship with him.

The purpose of sacrificial wind is to surpass the souls of the undead of abnormal dead such as suicide and war disasters. According to the owner of yesterday's inn, the Naxi people believe that people's dead souls are immortal, and the souls of abnormal death will be entangled by ghosts and become evil spirits. Therefore, the Dongba priest has to recruit souls and comfort their souls. The undead who died in love were extradied by the priest to the mysterious Jade Dragon Third Country, where white clouds, blue sky, high mountains and flowing water, green pines and cypresses, grass flowers, tigers as mounts, white deer ploughing cattle, men ploughing and women weaving, talking about love, carefree, is the paradise of love and a happy world.

Finally, it was a sacrifice for Dingbashiro. Xiaoqiong did not listen to the strange name, that is, set up a sacred altar in the field, hold a divine image, set up a supply table, set up white yaks, white horses and other gods' faces, bamboo weaving, wine tea and other sacrifices, and also set up ghost realms and ghost villages. The scene was grand, and the atmosphere was warm and tragic. In the ceremony, in addition to arranging the altar, hanging the sun, moon, cranes, seven-star flags, placing sacrifices and divine stones, Xiaoqiong felt that it was like a Han Chinese to welcome the gods, seeking longevity and blessings.

After looking at it for a while, the Dongba people in the field sprinkled wine and rice on the crowd. Xiaoqiong knew that the most ** had arrived, and it was over soon. The crowd would be chaotic, so she pulled Erhei and turned around and walked out of the crowd. At this time, I don't know who sprinkled a handful of rice on Erhei's head from behind, splashing around and splashing a grain on Xiaoqiong. On the back of her neck, Xiaoqiong felt a burst of cold air, and there was a "Weng" in her head. In front of her eyes, she instinctively reached out and grasped Erhei, and smelled a familiar smell. She was sure it was him. Her heart fell down and felt that as long as Erhei was there, she would not be afraid of anything.

Xiaoqiong calmed down and calmed down. Xiaoqiong turned her head and spread it. Except for the Dongba who painted his face and couldn't tell whether it was a man or a woman, it was a group of people who desperately squeezed in and begged for God Zefu. Xiaoqiong didn't see anything, and was squeezed a little stuffy by the group of people. .

Xiaoqiong turned her head, and Erhei disappeared. Xiaoqiong's brain was stunned, and her cold sweat came down. She began to be anxious and panicked. Just now, Erhei was still next to her. Why didn't she disappear in a blink of an eye? There were only strange faces in front of her. Xiaoqiong's heart fell down, and her feet were about to stand. He stopped and shouted loudly with a crying voice, "Erhei, Erhei, where are you?" But he felt that his voice was submerged in the crowd, so he had to look around on tiptoe and suddenly saw that it was not far away. Erhei was squeezed into the crowd. Xiaoqiong was shocked and raised an ominous foreboding. The black situation is a little abnormal. He inherited the savage-like strength and sensitive sense of smell from his savage father. No matter how crowded the crowd is, he escapes in advance, and no one makes him like this.

Xiaoqiong shouted desperately, "Erhei, Erhei, come back quickly!"

But the Erhei elephant did not hear it and was brought in by the chaotic crowd. Xiaoqiong gritted her teeth and instinctively protected her stomach with her hands. As the crowd squeezed in, she wanted to squeeze into Erhei's side, but she felt like a leaf. As the crowd floated in the sea, she couldn't help but be squeezed into a sardine, a person. For a while, the group was crowded and dizzy, but Xiaoqiong was thinking about Erhei and had to try her best to stay awake and dare not let herself lose her way.

It was not until the beginning of the crowd dispersed. Xiaoqiong quickly looked around and looked for the trace of Erhei. Suddenly, she saw a man sitting in an inconspicuous corner in a mess. His eyes were dull and his hair was entangled, as if he had been soaked in wine, wet and dew, and his clothes were also twisted- .
