Chapter 463 There is an explanation for being on the mountain of swords

Cai Yi still wanted to hear it, and when he heard this, he immediately ran towards the blade with joy.The other two boys also ran up.

They also undergo a series of prayers chanted by the priest and suddenly start dancing.Cai Yi, who was just a normal guy, suddenly changed his demeanor, dancing wildly like those dancers just now.

Very mysterious!It was inexplicably shocking.

He Huan said: "This is called opening the incense road and dancing the knife dance. It is part of their original ceremony. After this link, Nipa let the gods from all walks of life possess the warriors on the sword pole. Only in this way, he Only then can you go up the mountain of swords without getting hurt."

"Oh!"

"Really?" The elf believed it.

"Because they didn't regard it as an acrobatics or a competition at first, but a religious ceremony, so it was all led by Nipa. Only those who are chosen by God can go to the mountain of swords, not you can go there if you want to. "

"Oh!" Everyone was shocked by the deep canyon and the ancient mysterious ritual!
"Ni Pa belongs to the Yin tradition, not taught by humans. Basically, it is said that one day he suddenly became crazy, and suddenly the gods and ghosts told him something, and he had the ability to surpass ordinary people, and he was able to communicate with ghosts and gods.

So when going up the mountain of knives and down the sea of ​​fire, Nipa also came to pray to the ghosts and gods, don't hurt their hands and feet with knives, and don't burn their bodies with fire.

When ghosts and gods accept it, they will help them, and they also become crazy. They are no longer mortals, but emissaries sent by the world to heaven.

In this state, you can go up the mountain of swords! "

Even those of our own ethnic group who haven't seen such a primitive Shangdao Mountain for a long time, watching Cai Yi dancing and dancing towards Daoshan Mountain, feel palpitating for no reason.

The experts sweated even more, "Is it really okay to go up the mountain of swords like this?"

"Look at those two who are not crazy enough and slightly sober!"

Everyone couldn't laugh or cry, and looked worriedly at the knife shaft gleaming in the sun.Show your sharpness!
The sun also shines on Biluo Snow Mountain, like gods watching the rites and music offered by mortals.

"This is actually a state of ecstasy, that is, within a certain period of time, you abandon all mortal fears and distracting thoughts, and concentrate on going up the mountain of swords. Only in this way can you succeed. From a scientific point of view, it also makes sense. "

Everyone nodded, looking at the crazy Cai Yi, heaved a sigh of relief.

"Before commemorating Wang Ji, who is this worshiping?" Liang Ange asked.

"Before the introduction of Christianity, the Lisu people believed in animistic nature worship. Before they got involved with Wang Ji, they did not have specific personal idol worship.

Although the Lisu people also have ancestor worship, they only worship the ancestors they have seen, which is called near ancestor worship.And there are no tablets and no offerings, but only one direction, representing the ancestors.No specific sacrificial activities are carried out.

The guiding sutra recited by Niba at the funeral: Go back to your ancestors, and don’t go back to the human world again.Although they believe that humans have souls, they also believe that humans and ghosts have different paths, and they don't want souls to wander around the world.

This is different from asking our ancestors to come back to have a look during the holidays.This is the same as their feelings for gods. Ancestors are souls that have passed away and returned to another world. They worship and fear them.

Just like they also regard bears and tigers as the objects of worship and tribal names that they often fight with, making them injured and afraid.It's a mixed feeling.

But the Knife Pole Festival in Tengchong area is quite different. They have obvious objects of worship, as well as a portrait of Wang Ji, and they are held in Sanchong Temple. "

Everyone nodded.

"When nature worship becomes blurred, it will evolve into specific hero worship. But, look!" He Huan shouted.

Everyone saw that Cai Yi had already danced and danced to the knife pole, stepping up the knife mountain with a pair of bare feet, whizzing, swishing, swift as a monkey, and quickly climbed to the top.

The audience was silent, holding their breath for him.

At the last three steps of the knife ladder, Cai Yi suddenly stopped.

Liang Ange tugged at He Huan's sleeve worriedly, "Is he awake? Will he be afraid when he is awake? Or did he scratch his feet? Why didn't he move all of a sudden?"

Experts, including photographers, are very worried. If Bijiacun's knife dancing and Nanjian's dancing vegetables are acrobatics, there is still room for redemption.

It's really dangerous, and it's impossible to ignore your life.

If something really happened on the mountain of knives, the consequences would be very serious, and it is not what everyone wants to see and can bear.

Chen Ying also glanced at Xiao Bailong.

"Don't worry, he is a veteran of the knife mountain. With experience, he will find a balanced force point on the blade and will not be injured." He Huan said in a way they could understand.

He also explained: "This is called opening the lock of the heavenly gate. Don't you see that there is an arched door tied with iron chains? When he arrives, he must unlock the lock before he can go to heaven."

"Go to heaven! Don't be so scary!" Liang Ange said worriedly.

He Huan comforted: "This is a very important ceremony. Only the first warrior on the knife mountain can open the gate of heaven. Opening the gate of heaven means to relieve the sickness of the Lisu people and eliminate the disaster of the Lisu people."

"Oh." Everyone was a little relieved.

Sure enough, Cai Yi took out a key from the colorful satchel that he was carrying across his back and opened the lock, and the iron chain was thrown away.

The gate of heaven has been opened, Cai Yi climbed up the last step of the sword ladder, tore off the red cloth from the arch, and put it on his body.

"This is called hanging red, which means you have reached heaven." He Huan said.

Looking up at the tall figure, everyone held their breath.

I saw Cai Yi's body suddenly rotated, his feet soared into the air, and he went straight to the blue sky, grasping the last step of the knife ladder with both hands, and looked down at the audience below.

"Ah!" The crowd below were thrilled, and cheered in unison, cheering for him.

Liang Ange worried again: "Won't this wake him up?"

He Huan laughed, the elves are so cute!
"Don't worry, this little noise won't wake him up. He's gone to heaven, and he's performing for God! God will bless him!"

The experts were amazed, "Isn't this too powerful?"

He Huan said: "This is an acrobatic movement, but it is not an eagle spreading its wings or a kite turning over, but a heavenly dance. This difficult movement shows the bravery of the Lisu people and is also to please the gods.

This is probably what it means: Hey!Look at the gods from all walks of life, I climbed up to heaven to perform for you, don’t our brave Lisu sons and daughters deserve to live a good life? "

The experts laughed, "Pair it!"

He Huan gave them a white look, "Do you listen to the truth yourself? It's weird!"

Only then did everyone realize that they were like bah bah bah, and laughed again, "It's okay, we are not gods, gods will definitely think they are brave!"

Everyone looked up, it was really amazing!
He Huan also felt that this was more thrilling than the Minzu Garden!Also more mysterious!
Cai Yi turned over again, straightened his body, stood at Tianmen, took out corn, buckwheat and other whole grains from the colorful satchel on his back, and sprinkled them down.

The villagers cheered and rushed to pick it up on the ground, and the experts followed suit.

"This is called a good harvest, which means that there will be no shortage of food in the coming year, and they will entrust their good wishes."

After the rice fell from the sky, Cai Yi turned to the other side and came down from the other side.

The other two warriors danced for a long time, and they also reached a state of madness. They rushed up the knife mountain one after another, shaking the strings of colored balls on their waists.

The crowd below applauded.

Two warriors come from one side, Cai Yi comes down from the other side, and three colorful people hang on the colorful ladder. In this Nujiang Grand Canyon, under the blue sky and white clouds, the unity of heaven and man is extremely magnificent!
Cai Yi finally got down to the last step of the knife ladder. Everyone cheered for him, the strings of the piano were played, and everyone joined hands and formed a circle to sing and dance.

The two boys, one wearing red cloth and the other white cloth, rushed forward, carried Cai Yi on their backs, and ran around the inner circumference of the circle formed by everyone.

"What does this mean?" The experts also cheered and danced for him hand in hand, but after hearing the previous explanation, everyone already knew that this was not a simple celebration, like being hugged by teammates after winning a game.

"It's called riding a god horse! I went up the Knife Mountain to please the gods, and my feet can't get off the ground! And he's not awake yet! So these two big brothers are playing the red horse and the white horse, which are the god horses of the heavens, according to the will of the gods." , Send back the warrior who entered heaven through the knife ladder to pray for everyone."

"Oh!"

"So these ancient traditional activities are not just for entertainment. In addition to making everyone feel peaceful and happy, and have good expectations for life, they can also inspire the people of the tribe to be brave and tenacious, and have a strong cohesion. Because it is for everyone. , everyone will be involved.”

The experts nodded. They, outsiders, danced vigorously. Seeing their singing and dancing, their joyful and proud faces made me feel the same way!
When Cai Yi came to his senses and dismounted, He Huan took his hand, "Amazing! Brother Yi, you are so amazing!"

Cai Yi was full of smiles, not tired at all, excitedly dancing with everyone.

The other two warriors also came down, and they also had a red horse and a white horse on their backs to go around the field for a circle before letting go.

Everyone sang and danced around the knife pole.

He Huan said: "Going up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, is it similar to the Lisu people's migration experience of slash-and-burn farming over mountains and ridges, their arrows flying across rocks and walls, and their brave spirit of not being afraid of hardships?"

The experts suddenly realized and nodded quickly.Qin Huai was filled with emotion, he hadn't studied the little white dragon so deeply!This student can really think!

Several leaders were also fascinated!
They have held countless activities on Daoshan, but they did not listen to Xiaobailong's explanation. They really didn't know so much about their own national culture and their ancestors.

"Cai Yi goes up to the Mountain of Swords every day in the Minzu Garden, which is just a performance, but what is different from today is that he was an old fritter at the time, leisurely entertaining people, not entertaining gods.

So you still have time to listen to my explanation.What I explained to him at the time was the migration history of their ancestors, not Wang Ji's three expeditions to Luchuan. "

The experts laughed.

"En." Cai Yi nodded, "So I was very excited when I got down, because I could feel the blood of my ancestors rushing in my body and feel their spirit after listening to you.

I really didn’t hear your explanation on the Mountain of Knife just now, but I also thought about your explanation and my ancestors when I was at Niba before, and let myself enter that state. "

The experts looked at Xiao Bailong, "It seems that Xiao Bailong can also become a priest! It still has this effect!"

He Huan said with a smile: "In addition to the blessings of the gods and the spirit of the ancestors, the most important thing is yourself. Overcome fear and distracting thoughts, and regard the knife ladder as a real colorful ladder, a bright road, and bravely climb up for the sake of the people!

You really managed to be like your ancestors, sprinting between the cliffs like rabbits and climbing like apes! "

Cai Yi and the other two warriors were so excited that tears filled their eyes, and they were very proud.The folks are very proud.The priest was also full of relief, but it's a pity that Ni Pa was passed on by ghosts and gods, not by the master, otherwise Xiao Bailong would have to pass it on.

"What our ancestors first learned was not writing, but singing and dancing. In addition to writing, singing, dancing and rituals are all ancient history left to us by our ancestors, as well as their spirit."

Those who went up the Knife Mountain and those who watched them go up the Knife Mountain all felt more deeply about their folk culture after listening to Xiaobailong's explanation!
Shangdao Mountain has a long history in the Lisu people and has been widely spread, but it has never been like it is today, so that the villagers have a deep sense of cohesion and pride!
