Chapter 298: The Story of Moon Festival
"His grandma's, is there any mistake! My Jiu Hui Xiang can't even compare to a glass of sea water?" Luo Muzi roared in his heart, but maintained his demeanor on the surface.
"Damn it! This Wu Yihai is cheating and cheating. We are offering tea, but he is offering sea water? He is so thick-skinned! Fairy Siluu actually approves of him like this. It's so irritating, so irritating!" Lun Fei said The fists under the stone table were so clenched that veins popped out.
Fairy Tianlu was busy trying to smooth things over: "The moon is already high in the sky, drinking tea but no poetry is always not beautiful."
Fang Yuan pretended to be puzzled: "Do you really want to recite poems and compose poems?"
He looked unprepared, hearing it for the first time.
Luo Muzi and Lun Fei's eyes suddenly lit up, this is another opportunity!
Another great opportunity to attack your love rival.
"You were tricked and deceived by you last time. This time, I will knock you out of the limelight, and then I will step on you a few times."
Luo Muzi was obsessed with this thought, but on the surface he was smiling and graceful.
Lun Fei was doing the same thing, thinking about the same thing.
But they don't know, who is Fang Yuan?
Comparing poetry? !
Oh My God!
This is more serious than trying to do what you want.
Fang Yuan comes from the earth and has a lot of ancient poems. There are many masterpieces that are famous in history, and there are even masterpieces that shock the past and the present. Just throw out a piece of it and it will make these two people lose face.
"It's true that I want to recite poems, and there's something in it." Qiao Siliu responded to Fang Yuan's words.
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." Fang Yuan followed the words.
"This is a story spread in southern Xinjiang, and it is also the origin of the Moon Festival." Qiao Siliu began to talk.
A long time ago, in a certain village in southern Xinjiang.
A mortal boy fell in love with the daughter of a Gu Master, and the Gu Master's daughter also fell in love with this mortal boy.
The young man plucked up the courage to propose marriage, but was rejected by the Gu Master.
"You are just a mortal, and my daughter is a Gu Master with a bright future. How can you be worthy of my daughter? Get out of here!"
The young man begged hard, but the Gu Master sneered: "You want me to marry my daughter to you, you are simply wishful thinking! You are a mere mortal, but you can't even brew a cup of tea? What are you for?"
The young man said: "Isn't it just a cup of tea? What's so difficult about it? If I make it, will you marry your daughter to me?"
The Gu Master has a headache.
He knew that his daughter loved the young man in front of her very much, and to separate them forcefully would make her hate him as a father.
The Gu Master said: "If you can make a cup of tea that satisfies me, I will give you a chance."
The young man was overjoyed and quickly agreed: "Old sir, I will definitely be able to make it."
When the Gu Master's daughter heard about this, she was very worried: "My family has been famous for tea for generations, but you have to make a tea that satisfies my father. You are just a mortal, without the ability of a Gu Master, how can you make a good cup of tea?" ?”
But the young man said: "Don't worry. Who said mortals can't make tea? Let me tell you three reasons."
"The first principle is that big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps."
So, the young man came to the stream,
I caught a big fish, opened the belly of the fish, took out the small fish, and then opened the body of the small fish, and took out the small shrimps inside.
"The second reason is that people have to eat and poop."
So, the young man ate the shrimps and pooped out.
"The third truth is that poop can make flowers and plants more lush."
So, the young man buried the feces in the soil, and sure enough, the flowers and plants grew luxuriantly and grew taller and taller.
The young man picked out a kind of flower and plant, soaked it in the stream, and the entire stream turned into tea.
The Gu Master took a sip of this tea and was speechless for a long time.
His daughter shouted: "Dad, you don't want to regret it, do you?"
The Gu Master reluctantly nodded: "Young man, you have passed the first level. But as a mortal, it is still impossible for you to marry my daughter. You are too rude, have no talent, and cannot recite poetry."
The young man scratched his head and said distressedly: "Although I have never recited poetry, I can give it a try."
The Gu Master sneered: "Just you?"
The young man asked, "Why can't I?"
Master Gu Master: "Young man, you can either say a few words or recite poems. When we Gu Masters recite poems, we can make the world change color and make people dance. Can you do that?"
The young man muttered: "If you don't try it, how will you know if it works?"
"Okay, then you give it a try, don't say I won't give you a chance. If you fail, get out of here and don't see my daughter again," said the Gu Master.
The young man had to agree, and he began to walk around, trying to recite poetry.
But he had never recited poetry and had no clue.
At this time, he saw the ants on the ground, the birds and the sunset outside the window, and suddenly slapped his head.
He opened his mouth and shouted: "Swallows fly low and snakes cross the aisles, and ants move in as soon as the rain comes."
It’s rainy in southern Xinjiang, and it’s spring again at this time.
As soon as the young man finished speaking, rain began to fall from the sky.
The expression of Master Gu Master changed.
The young man added: "A drop of spring rain and a drop of oil will make us worry if there are more rains."
The rain outside the house became heavier and heavier, and the sky became gloomy and no longer clear as before.
The Gu Master looked a little ugly.
The young man scratched his head and cheeks: "When the elm money has gone yellow, we are busy farming, and when the willow hair has fallen out, we are spreading rice indiscriminately."
At this point, the young man was stuck, only missing the last sentence, but he couldn't hold it in.
"I'll give you a little more time." The Gu Master sneered.
The young man's eyes suddenly lit up, he pointed at the Gu Master and blurted out: "I have collected ten thousand loads of grain, but we are still in famine."
The Gu Master was so angry that he immediately stood up and knocked all the teacups out of his hands.
Then he pointed at the young man and roared: "You are just a mortal, how courageous a dog is!"
But his daughter laughed and clapped her hands: "It's great. This poem makes the world change color, and it even makes you dance."
When the master Gu master saw his daughter siding with her lover, he was angry and angry, but he couldn't refute her.
"Okay, okay, even if you have passed the second level, there is still the last level. You want to marry my daughter, where is the dowry? Can you afford a dowry that satisfies me?"
The young man lowered his head in frustration. He lived in a thatched hut, slept on straw sandals, and only wore patched clothes.
"I am willing to use all my property as a betrothal gift." The young man was very serious.
"Take it out and let me see!" said the Gu Master.
The young man led the Gu Master to his residence, the dilapidated thatched house.
The young man said to the Gu Master: "These are all my properties."
"Just this broken house with loopholes everywhere?" Master Gu Master pointed with great disdain.
"Just this yellow straw mat that is about to break in half?" The Gu Master threw the straw mat away.
"Just these broken stones that were used as stools?" The Gu Master kicked the stone hard and broke it.
The young man lowered his head.
Every time the Gu Master said a word, the young man lowered his head.
By the time the Gu Master finished speaking three sentences, the young man's head almost dropped to his chest.
But at that moment, a moon-like Gu worm suddenly flew out from the stone kicked by the Gu Master. It was shiny and very beautiful.
The Gu Master was stunned.
The young man was also shocked. He just randomly picked up this stone from the foot of the mountain.
The daughter of the Gu master shouted happily: "This Gu worm is definitely enough, let's use it as a betrothal gift."
The Gu Master couldn't refute, he was speechless, and in the end he had no choice but to hold his nose and marry his daughter to this mortal boy.
Fang Yuan has already heard this story, but it is indeed interesting.
The whole story describes a struggle between mortals and Gu masters, which ends with the victory of mortals.
The young man bravely passed through three levels, and finally got a beautiful woman, who was also a female Gu Master. The Gu Master did not use force from beginning to end. None of this conforms to realistic logic, but it reveals the yearning for a better life and the pursuit of a happy life in the hearts of ordinary people at the bottom.
The image of the young man is worth exploring and analyzing.
Regardless of the three principles he said or the poems he recited, they were all easy to understand, very simple, and even crude.
But these are the summaries of ordinary people’s experiences in daily labor.
Especially that poem, although the rhyme is not harmonious, it reveals the truth about mortals being exploited by Gu masters from the side.
"The master collected ten thousand loads of grain, but we are still in famine."
Gu masters are aloof, while mortals act like cows and horses.
Therefore, deep down in the hearts of mortals, there is a desire to fight against the Gu Master.
But the Gu Master is too powerful, how could a mortal defeat the Gu Master? So in the story, in the third final level, the key to the mortal boy's victory is actually a broken stone.
Gu insects appeared in the stone, which was obviously the solution stone.
The activity of breaking stones is very popular in southern Xinjiang. To be more precise, among the five regions in the world, Southern Xinjiang is the first to break stones, because Southern Xinjiang is mountainous and has extremely rich natural capital.
With the help of the solution stone, the mortal boy finally defeated the Gu Master. Although he picked up the stone, he relied more on luck.
This also reveals the weakness and helplessness in mortal hearts.
In their opinion, the Gu Master is too powerful and it is absolutely impossible for them to defeat the Gu Master. If you can win, it will definitely require a lot of good luck!
This folk tale features a mortal as the protagonist, and was most likely created by a mortal.
Because of this, it has received strong resonance from mortals and has been widely circulated in the relatively isolated southern Xinjiang, no less than "The Biography of Human Ancestors".
But in the other four domains, its spread is quite limited, and few people know about it.
It is precisely because of this story that the southern Xinjiang festival of Moon Festival gradually formed. Whenever this day comes, whether they are mortals, Gu Masters, or Gu Immortals, they will come to appreciate the moon, taste tea, recite poems, and interpret stones to spend this festival together.
Note: Wow, it took me a long time to write this chapter and it took a lot of brain cells. I’m in good shape tonight. I feel quite satisfied with this chapter because I have been committed to creating a different and complete world. What do you think? (To be continued.) Biquge Mobile App
