Fire by the bridge at the night market, boats outside Chunfeng Temple.
As evening approached, white lanterns were hung in every household and alleyway in the capital, and teahouses, wine shops, shoe stores, butcher shops, temples, etc. closed early.
All the people gathered on Chongyang Road, the largest street, holding various offerings and lanterns in their hands, with no smiles on their faces.
Standing solemnly on both sides of the road, the children stopped fighting as they used to, the old people stood straight, and no one whispered.
The clothes they wore were all plain in color, and the women did not wear heavy makeup.
The sound of drums came from the highest place.
Boom boom boom.
First, the imperial dragon chariot slowly stepped onto the street, and the people on both sides bowed their heads in salute.
The dragon chariot is spacious and can accommodate four or five people. It is in a square position, with ventilation on all sides. It is hung with light-colored curtains, and the four hooks are all hung with tassels.
The old emperor was wearing a black dragon robe, his face was serious, and his eyes were filled with a look of majesty without anger. His hand was on the handle of the dragon chariot.
He stood up slowly, and the crown on his head swayed slightly.
He took the three incense sticks from Eunuch Fu, raised his hands and bowed to the sky.
The people kowtowed three times and bowed nine times.
The drums were beating loudly.
The old emperor rode his dragon chariot and gradually moved away towards the end of the street.
The main round of street tours has begun.
The people suppressed their inner excitement and looked into the distance.
In front of the long street.
A spacious carriage slowly moved out, and in it sat a girl dressed in a moon-white priest robe made of flowing gauze with purple and gold edges. Her petite figure exuded an unparalleled grace, like a solitary, enchanting green lotus.
There was no expression on her cold little face.
All the people looked at the great country's national teacher with sincerity, their hearts were filled with shock and they were dumbfounded.
What's more, you can see children who can't hold the offerings and just let them fall to the ground stupidly, making a noise. The adults seemed to be distracted and didn't notice the children's actions at all.
It seemed that because of her arrival, white mist slowly rose around her, making it seem as if an immortal from the Ninth Heaven had descended to earth, bestowing the most sacred blessings upon the people of the great country.
They even forgot the most basic kneeling and stared at the scene in a daze.
Little did they know that not only the people of the great country, but also the envoys from various countries sighed when they saw such a spectacular scene: "The scorching sun in July, the clothes are given in September."
I learned the true meaning of the Ghost Festival from the great country.
Then, the girl stood up slowly from the carriage with very smooth movements.
There were three green grass roots in her hand.
At this moment, there was complete silence.
The light mist dissipated, and the long hair that was fluttering in the sea water slowly fell down like a huge curtain, hanging down like the Milky Way falling from the sky.
The smoke was curling up, and the white glazed clothes on her body swayed in the wind, with tassels of necklaces and jingling bells.
The girl opened her red lips slightly, murmuring incomprehensible ancient words, as if she was praying to the gods, or offering sacrifices to all the spirits in the world.
Appease all resentful and angry souls and calm all anger.
Three green branches brushed past her. She raised three fingers and placed them flat in front of her, then brushed them past her sleeves.
The girl's amber eyes were filled with a faint light, and her body was surrounded by a soft white light.
All of this seems to be in a landscape painting.
"This is the great country's national teacher..."
"Oh my God, this great country can't have invited real gods, right? Gods, what did I see? Gods, gods..."
The envoy from the distant country of Ana was stunned, muttering to himself, and making exaggerated movements with his hands.
