RPAGF Chapter 77 Summer Festival in Longyuan Town (1)
Chapter 77 Summer Festival in Longyuan Town (1)
When Yufei mentioned that their Longyuan Town had a summer festival, I became very interested in her description of it.
He expressed his inquiries about whether he could participate in the summer festival and document the event.
The fish took the bait! Yufei pretended to be hesitant but offered to contact the town leaders for him. After waiting a day, she replied to Director Yang, saying she had persuaded the town leaders, making Director Yang feel that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that must be taken seriously.
At the same time, Yufei invited Master Mudan out of her spatial dimension to represent her friends from the Mysterious Agricultural Science Academy, to help with the rehearsals.
Large-scale group dances such as "Rainbow Feather Dance", "Sacrificial Dance", and "War Dance"
Solo dances "Dance on the Palm" and "Phoenix Rising"
Then came the procession of the gods through the streets. Yufei made arrangements for the townspeople, preparing various snacks and setting up many small shops along the way to the ancestral temple.
They planned to sell all sorts of snacks and various kinds of snacks that would later become popular throughout the country.
The school extended an invitation to students, welcoming them to participate in the summer festival reported in Longyuan Town.
Wear the clothing of your favorite dynasties of the Great Xia Dynasty and embark on an encounter between eras.
Everything was ready, and they were just waiting for the right time. The respected elders of Longyuan Town checked the lunar calendar and selected an auspicious day.
August 20th will be designated as a carnival day in Longyuan Town! This day, eagerly anticipated by the people of Longyuan, finally arrived, with every household dressed in clothing from their favorite dynasty.
Students who were away from home accepted the invitation from their alma mater and, accompanied by their parents, dressed up as people from the dynasty they wanted to visit.
Looking at the newly transformed town, a strange sense of belonging welled up within me, and I quickly immersed myself in the town's celebratory atmosphere.
When Director Yang stepped off the ferry bound for Longyuan Town, he felt a sense of temporal dislocation.
After three years of hard work by Yufei, the main street of the town has been transformed into a picturesque Jiangnan water town, with white walls and gray tiles arranged in a charming and orderly fashion, and people dressed in various dynasties strolling through this ancient town.
The street vendors were also dressed in the clothes of people from ancient times, as required. Director Yang felt as if he had entered the famous film and television base, Hengdian World Studios.
It's definitely more natural than there, with a strong sense of everyday life.
"The auspicious time has arrived!" A resounding voice echoed across the town.
Then Director Yang and his camera crew saw the crowd disperse from the direction they had come from.
Two people wearing ghost masks, dressed in priestly attire, and carrying path-clearing sticks were leading the way.
Behind them, people wearing various masks walked solemnly, humming ancient tunes they couldn't understand.
The melody was solemn and mysterious, as if it came from an ancient and mysterious land, causing those around to involuntarily clasp their hands together and pray silently.
Immediately afterwards, a group of masked boys and girls were seen surrounding an ancient-style sedan chair.
The sedan chair was covered in mysterious patterns, and chains made of stones of various colors connected the four pillars of the chair to the roof.
Through these thin sheets painted with mysterious patterns, one can vaguely see a person sitting inside, wearing a mask.
Several sedan chairs followed behind, carrying elderly people from Longyuan Town who were highly respected and respected in the town.
Further on, there was another group of masked people, but this group was holding up signs that said "Keep Out".
They walked all the way, and Director Yang and the people who came to participate in the summer festival followed along.
Until we arrived at a solemn Taoist temple, which was the ancestral hall that Yufei had invested in building.
The procession stopped in front of the ancestral hall, and that majestic voice rang out again: "Alight from the sedan chair!"
Please, esteemed elders, offer sacrifices to our ancestors, praying that Longyuan Town may enjoy smooth sailing and abundant harvests year after year! After saying this, except for the first sedan chair which remained still, the elderly people inside the other sedan chairs all alighted.
Aside from the fact that the person inside the first sedan chair hadn't gotten off, the boy and girl beside him also didn't make any move.
The others, wearing masks, followed the elder, their faces solemn, into the ancestral hall to begin their elaborate sacrificial ceremony.
After the ancestral worship ceremony, the person who had removed the masks put them back on and invited the elders to sit at the table. The elders then stood around the platform.
"Please offer sacrifices to Heaven, so that Longyuan Town may have good fortune year after year, and may everything go smoothly forever."
As the sound faded, a pair of pale feet adorned with bells emerged from the sedan chair. Yufei stepped out; aside from her pale feet, the rest of her body was completely covered by her ceremonial robes.
He wore a kind and benevolent mask, smiling solemnly, holding a bell in one hand and a beechwood staff in the other.
They arrived at the altar, and at the same time, the people around the altar also came up.
The sacrificial dance began. As Yufei rhythmically rang her bells and danced, the audience felt a mysterious aura emanating from the movements. The young boys and girls standing before the stage scattered flower petals.
Although there weren't many petals, everyone felt the fragrance was intoxicating. After Yufei finished her dance, the previously somewhat gloomy sky...
Under a clear blue sky and bright sunshine, people didn't feel hot at all; a gentle breeze seemed to caress their hearts.
Some people who felt constantly dizzy and foggy-headed experienced a sensation after this dance, as if a celestial being had touched their head, granting them eternal life; their minds had never been so clear.
This is one of the benefits that the space brought to Yufei after the space upgrade.
After ascending to the third level, the towering mountain in the space revealed its true form, except for the seemingly endless Silver River Waterfall.
The dragon baby told her that this mountain also had a special product, somewhat similar to the spirit stones she had seen in her later life.
However, its effects weren't as powerful as those described in the book. They then pulled out another book from the storeroom, which contained several different formations.
Refreshing Array, Growth Array, Spirit Gathering Array, and Teleportation Array
The Spirit Gathering Array only works on plants and lower animals; it has no effect on humans. When asked how she knew, she said she'd tried it. The old tortoise placed in the array is now incredibly cunning and much stronger than before. And that miniature chili pepper—it's insanely spicy!
The Refreshing Formation, which is the formation Yufei used today, can keep the mind absolutely clear all day without any side effects, and even has a slight ability to enhance intelligence.
She set up formations at both schools, using some of the minerals found on abandoned mountains.
However, she believed everything. The dragon baby also said that this ore was renewable, but it required more species capable of exchanging bioenergy with the space.
Needless to say, growth-enhancing formations are formations that help plants and animals grow quickly, having a growth-promoting effect.
However, this formation is not recommended for baby dragons, as it consumes too much of the creature's lifespan.
What interests Yufei most is the teleportation array. The dragon baby said it's an array that can randomly teleport people, but Yufei's abilities aren't yet sufficient, and the space's energy is also lacking.
There's no way to activate the teleportation array; where she'll be teleported to depends on Yufei's luck.
