Soon, Zhang Xiaoxiao and the cameraman arrived at Bamboo Island.
They were shocked to see such a grand scene.
As a native of the city, Zhang Xiaoxiao naturally knew about this custom on Bamboo Island.
Ten years ago, because of this custom, Bamboo Island had even appeared on a travel show on television and had a very high viewership rating.
At that time, Zhang Xiaoxiao was still a handyman in the television station.
That time, she had also gone there and witnessed the scene.
However, after that, this scene never appeared again.
At this moment, Zhang Xiaoxiao was a little excited when she saw today's scene. It was as if she had returned to ten years ago.
No, it was even more spectacular than ten years ago.
"Quick, let's film first. After they're done, I'll take the time to interview the person in charge.”
Zhang Xiaoxiao said to the cameraman.
At this moment, Bi Huo had already finished speaking.
They entered the next segment of the Mazu worship.
Bi Huo stood at the side of the altar and said loudly,""Everyone, be solemn. Sound the drums for three rounds!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an elder held a drumstick and struck the big drum beside the altar three times. It could be said that he was full of vigor and vigor.
Dong dong dong!
His voice resounded through the clouds.
Bi Huo continued,"Dancer, get in position and dance!"”
The five old people who were ready were dancing a strange dance while swinging their sleeves and circling around the Mazu statue.
At the same time, the music students who had participated in the ceremony before began to play music at the side.
The melodious music, coupled with the strange dance, gave off a mysterious feeling.
After the dance, Bi Huo shouted,"
"Main Priest, Accompanying Priest, and Priest, get in position!”
Village Chief Bi Longgang and the other two elders walked to the Mazu statue with incense sticks in their hands.
Bi Huo said,"Welcome the gods, offer incense, and recite the prayers."”
Village Chief and the other two inserted the incense into the incense burner.
Then, Village Chief took out a scroll and opened it.
He read aloud "Please enjoy the Heavenly Concubine,""Please board the boat,""Sacrifice to the Heavenly Concubine," and other congratulatory texts.
The recitation ended.
Bi Huo shouted,"Burn Zhu Wen!"
Village Chief stepped forward and threw Zhu Wen into a large brazier.
"Everyone, kneel three times and kowtow nine times!"
Just as Bi Huo finished speaking.
The village chief took the lead and knelt down. Immediately after, everyone behind him also knelt down and kowtowed three times to Mazu.
"Send God!"
Everyone stood up.
Village Chief stretched out his arms and raised his head to the sky.
Everyone followed suit.
He stretched out his arms and raised his head to the sky.
At this point, the entire sacrificial process was completed.
The fans were very cooperative.
Not only did they consciously stand in an orderly line, but the entire process was also very solemn. There was no whispering. Everyone listened carefully to Bi Huo's hosting.
Only after the ritual was completed did everyone relax.
Zhang Qirui stretched and said to the side,""Phew, this is the first time I've participated in such a ritual. I suddenly feel as if my soul has sublimated.”
The people around him laughed out loud.
" I think this ceremony is very good and meaningful," Xu Meili said." I've decided to come again next year!"”
"Didn't you notice that the Sea God is especially imposing today?"”
" Yeah, yeah!" A girl jumped out from the side." I've been watching Poseidon the whole time. I think he's really, really cool today!"”
Zhang Qirui walked up to them and said,"You guys only care about the Sea God. Don't you pay attention to a handsome guy like me?”
The girls rolled their eyes at him and made a vomiting gesture.
Zhang Qirui shrugged helplessly.
On the other side.
The audience watching the live broadcast sighed.
"I can feel the solemnity and solemnity through the screen.”
"This is great. As a traditional culture enthusiast, I'm really awed by such an ancient ceremony.”
"I have a feeling that after this worship, Bamboo Island's August Festival might be revived.”
"There's no need for that. I'm sure that this ceremony will continue to flourish in the future. Look, there's even a television station filming it.”
……
After Bi Huo finished hosting, he drank some water.
He walked towards Xu Meili and the others.
"Xu Meili, gather the people who know how to use bows. We're going to shoot fish now.”
Bi Huo said.
Ge Feifei jumped up when she heard that." Oh yeah, it's finally time to shoot fish. I've never seen it before."”
Zhang Qirui said," That's right, Sea God. I can't wait to show off my ability to pierce through a tree with a hundred steps. Quickly give us the bows. I plan to shoot a hundred fish today!"”
Bi Huo smiled."
"If you can really shoot that many fish, then all the girls here will be yours. You have to know that in the past, this fish-shooting event was a kind of coming-of-age ceremony. At the same time, it was also an opportunity for unmarried men and women to find a partner. Those who shot the most fish often became the target of worship and pursuit of many members of the opposite sex.”
Zhang Qirui raised an eyebrow." Oh, there's such a good thing? I'm going to get serious."”
As he spoke, he began to warm up.
After a while, Xu Meili gathered the applicants. Including Bi Huo and Yue 'er, there were a total of 239 people.
Bi Huo led everyone to the seaside.
Other than the 239 fish shooters, the rest also came to cheer.
When they arrived at their destination, everyone saw that this place looked familiar.
"Isn't this where the Sea God fished up the Eastern Star Spot?”
"At that time, he used a small bamboo hook to hang that Brother Long.”
"Don't mention the deceased streamer.”
"Burn some incense."
Everyone was ready.
Bi Huo found a few strong men and unloaded all the bows and arrows from the Golden Dragon.
Then, he distributed them to the archers.
The arrows from these bamboo bows were also special. There was a long rope at the end of the arrow.
This way, after hitting the fish, he could use the rope to pull it up.
"Everyone, pay attention. I have something to say."
After firing the bow, Bi Huo signaled for everyone to be quiet.
"The rules of shooting fish are like this. First of all, everyone must pay attention to safety. Don't squeeze together and line up in a row. Also, you must not aim at people.
After that, some people will scatter fish food on the surface of the sea, and there will be a lot of fish coming over. We fish shooters only have the time for one incense stick to burn. Whoever shoots the most fish will be the winner today. I've also prepared a gift for the top three, which is a one-day trip to Butterfly Island!”
Everyone cheered excitedly when they heard that.
When the viewers on the bullet screen heard this, they became even more jealous.
After Bi Huo finished speaking, a few uncles in the village each carried a bucket of fish food.
Standing on the reef, he scattered the fish food evenly into the sea.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, many figures swam over from the sea.
When Uncle Gang saw this, he hurriedly lit the incense.
He then ordered,"Shoot the fish, begin!”
An order was given.
All the shooters began to search for their targets.
Zhang Qirui had sharp eyes and spotted a big fish at a glance.
He had learned archery before. Although he was not good at it, it was still passable.
He immediately nocked an arrow and drew his bow, following the fish's swimming trajectory and aiming for a while.
With a swoosh, the bamboo arrow shot out and hit Lonely.
"Pfft! What a good one."
"I know, Boss Lang must be aiming at the algae that we can't see.”
"Impressive, impressive. With this bow technique, I believe that I can even kill a fly.”
Ge Feifei and the others saw this and started to mock her mercilessly.
Zhang Qirui was speechless.
"Wow!"
Suddenly, a cry of surprise came from the crowd.
Everyone hurriedly looked at the voice.
Not far away, a muscular male fan had already shot two fish in just a few seconds!
This fan was Du Kui, a coach of the archery club.
At this moment, he attracted everyone's attention.
At this moment, Bi Huo was still observing the sea surface with his bow on his back.
