With the sound of bells coming from nowhere, everything around the altar became quiet.Father Qin and Mother Qin handed Su Lele to the Taoist priest, and lined up with Ermao, waiting on the steps of the altar.They were all going to participate in the dance to worship heaven. At this time, an old man gave them a bunch of green grass. This herb grew extremely tall, and the long green leaves were as long as half the length of a Qin father. As for Su Lele ...It is much shorter than this grass!

Everyone on the steps held the bundle of green grass and waited calmly.The sacrifice to heaven is about to begin.

Boom~... Another long bell rang, and an old man on the stage began to sing a confession. The tune was so long that Su Lele didn't understand what he was singing.The Taoist priest quietly explained that he sang to pray for good weather, good harvests, happiness and peace, peace and health, no disease and disaster, etc.; at the same time, he told God that we offered the best wine in this city to God, good food or something...

Su Lele interjected: "And the best beauties? Like my parents?"

The Taoist priest laughed, coughed and said: "No, no, there is really no such sentence in this libretto. Cough, although it is true that the beauties who are chosen for dancing..."

Su Lele said: "Then why use this grass? Is there any particularity?"

The Taoist said: "This grass is called Tongtiancao. It is said that it can connect to the heaven...Of course, this is not true, it is just a rumor. However, it is a folk custom to use Tongtiancao to perform the heavenly dance."

Su Lele nodded and said: "I think the priest understands it quite well, why don't you go, whether it's as a priest to replace the old man, or to dance..."

The Taoist priest touched his head and said: "The priest is a highly respected old man in this city. I am not qualified. I have no fixed place to dance, and my appearance may pass the test, but who knows me. Moreover, sacrificial dance is very important. Generally, the organizers prefer to use their own people to avoid troubles caused by using outsiders. Most people think that successfully hosting the annual Huachao Festival can bring a little luck to the year. If it fails, it will inevitably feel uncomfortable. So you see, the altar Surrounded by soldiers, outside are ordinary people."

Su Lele let out a long oh, expressing that she understood.

At this time, the old man had finished singing the prayer, kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times around the sacrificial table, then vigorously waved the yellow paper in his hand and threw it into the brazier.The dancers lined up on the right began to enter the arena step by step, kowtowing, and the atmosphere was very solemn.After passing the kneeling old man, the person in the front began to circle the sacrificial table while dancing, and the person behind followed closely behind, a distance of a stalk of sky-reaching grass.Gradually, three large dancing circles composed of people formed on the altar, and in the rings were the sacrificial table and priests.

Su Lele couldn't help swallowing in the serious atmosphere, and looked at Qin's father and mother on the stage.The two had dignified expressions, and like everyone else, they danced meticulously to the beating of drums.Finally, with a bell, the dance ended.The two were obviously relieved after stepping down from the stage, and said to the Taoist priest: "Fortunately, nothing went wrong! After playing the piano at the flower god banquet in the afternoon, we can leave!"

The Taoist priest nodded and said, "Okay."

Su Lele asked curiously: "Is there really a God?"

Father Qin hugged Qin and nodded and said: "There are gods, but the flower god feast of this banquet is not a real god. It is just a banquet held by the city lord, under the old tree, which is convenient for unmarried noble men and women in the city to use for blind dates. I just need to play the piano at the beginning to create an atmosphere!"

Su Lele understood.

Ermao chased after him with a wave of his hands from a distance, and said, "Don't rush away, I'll give you a silver ticket. The performance fee!"

Qin Niang took it, nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, yes."

Su Lele said: "How do Hua Chao Festival make money? Those street vendors?"

Ermao walked with them, and said as he walked, "Yes! Vendors are the main income, and part of the income is actually the Flower God Banquet~ This banquet is also the responsibility of a gourmet conference and a blind date. The merchants who provide food, and the participants Guests, in fact, need to pay a little money..."

Su Lele raised her eyebrows: "Really just a little bit?"

Ermao looked honest: "It's a little bit, but it adds up. Hahaha!"

Father Qin smiled and said, "Lele, are you going to the Flower God Banquet this afternoon?"

Qin Niang said: "Let's go, it's a rare time when all kinds of delicacies gather together, usually they are the signatures of each family! We will wait for you while we eat, and we will leave after you finish the performance."

Ermao said: "Why are you in such a hurry, are you really planning to make an effort to find the little shark?"

Dad Qin said: "Yeah, originally I planned to spend more time. It was just a way to find the sharks. I just tried my best. I also arranged a travel route... But I didn't expect it. It was such a coincidence that we got the clue and didn't work hard. Look for it, I'm sorry for my conscience."

Ermao sighed: "In this case, I can't go with you, I have to continue to help the Huachao Festival, this festival is only three days, you can't wait?"

Father Qin said: "The Flower Festival is held every year, but there is only one life. Although we are mermaids, who told us to run into each other." Friends too."

The Taoist nodded in gratitude.

Er Mao patted Dad Qin on the shoulder: "Hey, you are still such a good person."

In this way, when Father Qin went to perform in the afternoon, Mother Qin brought Su Lele and Taoist Priest to taste something together.After Father Qin finished playing the piano, they hurriedly bid farewell to Er Mao and went to the Taoist priest's friend's house.

The author has something to say:

The very boring teaser dad who was still playing in the game yesterday... a grown-up male singer was actually teased to become a master... and he left the stand-alone three in an instant.
