Chapter 57 March 3rd Festival
The deep spring cries without hearing it, and the slight and rain are gone.
Yuan Qingwei, who had just settled many dead souls in the dark world, suddenly felt the cold smoke hanging from the earth.
This smoke is very interesting, without any incense, like the moon, nourishing the entire auspicious land in a silent way. I calculated it slightly in my heart and sighed: "It turns out that it has arrived at the cold food industry!"
The Cold Food Festival, also known as the "Smoking Non-Smoking Festival", "Cold Festival" and "Hundred and Five Festivals", follows the ancient custom of changing fire.
In ancient times, people had difficulty making fire. Every early spring, the climate was dry. The fire preserved by the ancestors was prone to fire, and spring thunder was also prone to wildfires. Therefore, on this day, the ancestors would conduct grand sacrificial activities, extinguish all the fires passed down from the previous year, that is, "forbidden fire", and then drill the flint to remove new fire, which is the starting point of production and life in the new year, which is called "changing fire" or "requesting new fire".
At the same time, in ancient times, flames were very important, and even had special officials to manage and take care of them. Therefore, when changing the fire, the ancestors would also hold grand sacrificial activities, burning the symbols of the Grain God, which was called human sacrifice.
When it was the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, because Duke Wen of Jin cut his thighs to satisfy his hunger during his exile, he later retreated to Mianshan Mountain. His minister Jie Zitui, who died of wildfire, ordered that Jie Zitui not set fire to cook on the day of his death and wanted to eat cold food, which became the Cold Food Festival.
Now, the original meaning of "invite a new fire" in the Cold Food Festival has begun to disappear. Instead, because it is very close to the time of the Qingming Festival, it has gradually become one. The saying of Cold Food and Qingming Festival has been formed, including worshiping and sweeping tombs, banning smoking, worshiping ancestors, cold food, planting willows, outings, Cuju, planting trees, drilling wood to make fire, etc.
It is one of the oldest traditional festivals for the people of Middle-earth, and it is also their rare time to entertain and relax.
Feeling the continuous brilliance falling above and the turbid air rolling back and forth in the dark world, Yuan Qingwei also bounced his fingers, and the breath of the dark world gradually blended and gradually formed a bond.
The dead soul, who had originally worked mechanized, seemed to notice something vaguely. He couldn't help but look up, and a little bit of inspiration gradually emerged in his eyes.
"Cold food is Qingming Festival, March is on the Si Si. I have been busy these days!"
After Yuan Qingwei finished speaking, he continued to improve the structure of Jidi Tulou and tried to build it into a complete circular defense system to ensure that an effective defense mechanism could be formed without Yuan Qingwei's presence.
After all, cold food, Qingming and Shangsi days are not only the time when the power of the Yin world changes, but also the time when the cold energy accumulated in the human body gradually fades away and the yang energy begins to shake.
The yin and yang energy in the human body change, which makes people easily sick and physically exhausted, which is a time period that is more suitable for attack.
Yuan Qingwei learned from the regained totem gods that the natives here had already noticed the qualified characteristics of the Middle-earth people. They targeted the ancestors several times, and they specifically chose this period in recent times.
‘At the beginning, I want to build a complete energy core!’ Yuan Qingwei thought that the powers collected recently were mixed together, and a trace of breath was divided into a seed, with the power of the underworld as the main body, and turned into a seed and fell into the core of the auspicious land.
The seeds take root and sprout, and strands of vitality gather from all directions, merge into the auspicious land, turning into dark patterns and crawling with new seedlings, prompting them to grow faster.
At the same time, some power seemed to fall in the dark. If you want to cut off the connection between the two, Yuan Qingwei took action earlier. The breath of the Jiuxiao Jinshou led it into a divine light seedling to suppress it.
'Gods must not open up spiritual realms, nor resonate with the Yin world for a long time, to prevent the divine realm from merging with the auspicious land and turning into a spiritual realm. Then I will let a god who may exist forever remain at the level of spiritual fetus.' After Yuan Qingwei looked at the success of the first level, he looked at the periphery of the auspicious land again.
‘Dangkang, Ran Yi, Lu Shu.’ called softly, and three totem divine shadows renamed by Yuan Qingwei appeared in front of Yuan He.
As the totem god, the figures projected by the three in the Yin world are not small. Among them, Dang Kang is more than six feet long and less than four feet tall. He is covered in yellow and has two white teeth and two small yellow teeth that extend out of his mouth.
Ran Yi felt a bit like a hairtail. His body, which was nearly ten feet long, was covered with fish scales, looking like a snake and a fish. There were three pairs of fish fins under him, like six feet. He gently moved it, causing waves of water vapor.
The last Lu Shu, named Lu, is actually a big white horse. It is just because it has the authority of land, but it has the authority to reproduce, so it was renamed Lu Shu by Yuan Qingwei.
‘Dangkang, go and plough the underworld near Jidi, and at the same time dig a gully for me on the outermost side. Ran Yi, go and help extradite the water inside Jidi in the gully.’
Yuan Qingwei said that it evolved a piece of land, which was exactly the land that Dangkang needed to cultivate and the gullies.
When the two totem gods heard this, they nodded quickly. These three totem gods were also tortured by Yuan Qingwei and were a little scared. In addition, they could clearly sense that their authority was firmly controlled by the other party and they did not dare to resist at all.
When Kang called Ran Yi twice, he turned around and went to the farmland outside Jidi. Ran Yi also danced with fish fins, rolled up the water waves and took him to the inside of Jidi, and began to extradite the water purification.
These purified waters are the products of Yuan Qingwei's failure after he wanted to create a spiritual pool several times. In addition to providing Yuan Qingwei with valuable experience, these purified waters themselves have certain mystery. They contain the aura of auspicious land and the divine power of Qingwei, and have a very weak effect of purifying the dead souls. They can be regarded as a relatively suitable casting medium.
At this time, being extradited to the periphery of Jidi has not only played a defensive role, but also could reduce the direct contact between Jidi and Yinshi power and reduce its own losses.
Seeing the two colleagues starting to be busy and staying there, Lu Shu was a little worried. It didn't want Ran Yi to be as special as he had alien bloodlines, and still had the authority to drive the dead souls. It was not like Dangkang having powerful power. Because of his usual laziness, he was far inferior to Dangkang's control of the power of the earth because of his usual laziness.
Its only advantage is its strong reproduction ability. It is this ability that makes it regarded by a small tribe as a reproduction god, and has the power of reproduction condensed by its will.
Looking at Lu Shu Yuanqing thought for a moment, he reached out to evolve a strange beast with a horse's head, tiger's markings, and red tail, and said, "Lu Shu, go back and add the power of reproduction to your fur, and then tomorrow, send it to the outside of the earthen building. By the way, remember to turn it into this when you go."
