Chapter 1496: : Up the knife mountain

Returning to the highest point of the cottage, where Patriarch Jin's family lived, Patriarch Jin saw Ye Chen and Yang Ling coming back, looked at these two people and asked, "How do you feel?"
"Patriarch Jin, singing folk songs here is similar to my hometown." Yang Ling said.
"These men and women sing very well, but I don't understand." Ye Chen said.
Of course, Ye Chen was not used to wearing this set of Miao costumes, and felt very uncomfortable to wear. If it is summer, it may make people feel like a hot flash.
As for Yang Ling, Ye Chen saw that she was wearing such a big head accessory, and she was wearing those silver accessories, which looked very heavy.
Ye Chen went to talk to Chief Jin about his situation in the afternoon, and finally said: "I have watched all the villagers who participated in the activities of singing folk songs, and for the time being, no suspicious people have been found."
Ye Chen watched even those who played the lusheng and other musical instruments, but he still didn't notice.
Therefore, he can be excluded from those villagers temporarily.
Of course, in the eyes of Clan Chief Jin, those who can play those witches are definitely not young, so ordinary men and women can basically be excluded, and the other party is so hidden, maybe they didn't participate in the past this time.
As for Jin Tianbao, he is the village head. This time he is going to organize this event on behalf of his father. He also knows which villagers in the village will not participate.
Therefore, when Jin Tianbao wrote down the list of villagers who did not participate in the activity, Ye Chen discovered that there were 20 or 30.
These ages are relatively old, some are even 70 or 80 years old.
These old people are naturally inconvenient to go out for activities.
Ye Chen looked at the names of the elderly on the list and could only say: "If it is not convenient for them to move, they are still not allowed to participate. I am afraid that they will fall. I will see after the event tonight. Can I find out? I'll go and see the old people one by one."
Chief Jin also agreed with Ye Chen's statement.
After dinner, everyone went to participate in tonight's Torch Festival and other activities. However, what Ye Chen didn't expect was that the patriarch Jin really respected him and greeted him warmly. In the afternoon, he specially made a suckling pig to entertain him.
These suckling pigs are not big, they may have just been born, and they were grilled with firewood. The skin is fragrant and the meat is tender. However, Ye Chen may have thought of the reasons for the top ten forbidden dishes. He did not like this type of food.
Even though the roast suckling pig is well-known in the recipes of all ethnic groups, Ye Chen thinks of how to make it, he feels a bit too cruel.
Of course, it's not easy to disturb Patriarch Jin's politeness to him. When Patriarch Jin asked him, he asked, "Doctor Ye, how do these roast suckling pigs taste?"
"This roast suckling pig tastes delicious and delicious." Ye Chen said.
After eating this meal, night has fallen. Last night, the lower cottage was still silent with no lights.
However, it is different now. In Xiashanzhai, almost every household is lit with oil lamps, and the whole Xiashanzhai is lit up.
Moreover, Ye Chen saw young Miao people holding torches and heading towards the valley square, like a fire dragon. Ye Chen and Yang Ling were still dressed in the Miao costumes in the afternoon. Now Clan Chief Jin and Jin Tianbao, as well as Chief Jin’s family Go there to participate in tonight's event.
After Ye Chen and them came down from the mountain, it might be because Ye Chen and Yang Ling were already familiar with the Miao villagers in the afternoon. Now when they saw him coming, they naturally regarded them as guests here.
When I came to the valley square, in addition to the surrounding torches, there was also a three to four-meter high wooden tower in the center of the square, which was temporarily erected in the morning. The purpose of the construction was naturally to serve as the torch center of the square, and The fire was lit by the patriarch himself.
If it was before, there were still high priests and great wizards in the Miao Village, they might have come to light them. However, besides being the chief of the patriarch here, the chief patriarch is also the chief of the ancestral hall, so he has the highest status in the village.
In the cheers of the crowd, Chief Jin raised a lit torch, and then took the wooden tower in the middle to be lit.
The wooden tower itself was built with dry wood, and there were flammable items such as pine resin leaves inside. Patriarch Jin quickly lit there.
Soon, the makeshift wooden tower burned, illuminating the valley square brighter.
When Ye Chen and Yang Ling cheered, Clan Chief Jin and the other Miao elders folded their hands and bent over as if they were muttering something. They soon learned that Clan Chief Jin and the others were praying to the God of Fire for the good weather of the cottage. , The safety of the cottage people and so on.
When their prayers are over, tonight’s Torch Festival has officially started. Now that Ye Chen has not reacted, he has been held hand in hand by two enthusiastic Miao girls, as well as other Miao men, women and children, holding hands, surrounding the middle The burning wooden tower began to dance and sing passionately there.
However, the song I sang this time is different from the song I listened to in the afternoon.
Ye Chen seemed a little overwhelmed. It was not that he was dragged by the two Miao girls and looked shy, but that he didn't know the rhythm and movements of the dancing, so it might make people see through him and not look like a Miao. of.
Fortunately, Ye Chen learns quickly, and other people didn’t pay much attention to his dancing movements. After ten seconds, Ye Chen followed the rhythm of dancing and dancing, and then stretched out his right foot. After a while, he stretched out his left foot and then stomped the ground.
This kind of activity lasts for about twenty minutes. Ye Chen and the others circled the circle of fire, jumping around, and he didn't know how many laps they had jumped.
I always feel that I just come to do digestion exercises after dinner.
Ye Chen found that Yang Ling looked at him from time to time, and was still laughing at him at first, and slowly seemed to be a little uncomfortable watching him when he was intoxicated by the two Miao girls.
After the hand-in-hand dancing in the circle of fire ended, they started dancing and singing without holding hands. When Ye Chen was jumping there, I don't know when, Yang Ling jumped to his side, and touched him with his shoulder and asked, "Are the hands of the two beautiful girls very soft just now?"
Ye Chen glanced at her strangely, always feeling that Yang Ling seemed to have something else interesting.
Dancing around the circle of fire ends, and then there are various activities. For example, the Miao people will use to breathe fire through their mouths, and even use those pointed objects to pass from the left of the mouth to the right. Ye Chen could see , This is what the warriors who belong to the real wizard category dare to do.
Because those sharp cones are very sharp, but, passing from the left side of the Miao people's mouth to the right, the other party doesn't seem to feel pain, nor does it bleed.
These are nothing, the most exciting and challenging one is undoubtedly going up to the sword and going down the fire.
First, there is a knife ladder about three or four stories high. One handle is very sharp. If you blow a long hair, your long hair will be cut.
However, a barefoot middle-aged man dared to climb up layer by layer.
Then make the golden rooster independent, stand upright, hang the knife with one arm, and so on more dangerous moves.
Ye Chen knew that the knife was real, and this very dangerous and challenging activity, the Miao who dared to do that must train regularly.
Seeing the other party climb up layer by layer, and then perform various performances, in the cheers of other Miao people, and then come down layer by layer.
At this moment, Ye Chen looked at Yang Ling and said, "Yang Ling, I dare to climb that knife ladder. Go talk to the performing warrior and let me try it myself?"
"Are you wearing shoes? Then even the shoes will be cut off." Yang Ling said.
She knows that Ye Chen's Chinese medicine skills are very powerful, but now the performance of going to the sword mountain is a very dangerous activity. Even the Miao people who practice often may have accidents sometimes accidentally.
