…
Night, the stars twinkle.
In the Miao village, the bonfires shone brightly.
Countless non-Miao people rejoiced.
The Miao people, of twelve branches, --
The most elite and core group of Miao people began their operation in the dead of night.
At three in the morning, --
"boom--"
The people in their sleep were awakened by the sound of thunder.
The non-Miao people who were still playing around the campfire were also startled by the sound of the drum.
"What happened?"
"Does anyone know what happened? That noise is so loud!"
"That scared me to death!"
…
Dozens of bonfires were lit in front of the fruit stall, and thousands of non-Miao people were asking what had happened.
But no one gave them an answer!
All these people saw was that in the Miao village, every household's lights came on after the drumbeats.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Immediately afterwards, --
Fireworks soared into the sky, piercing the night in the early morning, and exploded in the air!
Boom boom--
"Haha, did you believe me when I told you? The Miao family under King Mu had a truly spectacular opening scene. Look at that, isn't it awesome!"
Near the campfire, Han Feng burst into laughter, saying, "Staying up all night was the wisest choice we could have made."
"Look quickly, what time is it? When that drum sounded, I felt the ground shake!"
"I am so surprised!"
"Ha ha--"
"Boom!!"
Before the executive from Mochen Capital could finish speaking, the thunderous sound of war drums erupted around them.
Whoosh!
Fireworks soared into the sky once again.
This is the sound of a signal drum, reminding the Miao villages that they can move about.
Upon hearing the drumbeats, the strong and capable Miao people from various branches near Que Dong Village lit torches and proceeded in an orderly fashion towards the Lusheng field in Que Dong Village.
Under the cover of darkness, --
Torches lit up the entire Miao village.
The surrounding armed and public security personnel, even though they had received orders from above and knew that the Miao people were starting their grand celebration with drums today, still did not expect the sound of drums in the darkness to be so inspiring.
The key point is, it's scary!
The provincial secretary, Deputy Director Cheng, General Jing, and other high-ranking officials stayed at Que Dongzhai last night.
And this first drumbeat came from Quedong Village.
Because they were so close, the sound made their heads buzz and their scalps tingle.
Fifteen minutes later, --
All seedlings have sprouted and are moving!
"Boom... Boom..."
"boom..."
At four o'clock in the morning, the drums sounded once again.
The elite Miao people arrived at Quedong Village, took over the positions of the Miao people on night watch, and blocked the thousands of non-Miao people who were surrounding them, preventing them from crossing the line.
Before long, the nine clan elders arrived!
Each branch's chieftain personally led the Miao people of his branch to arrive in order.
A Night of Starlight, --
The torches between heaven and earth illuminated all things.
now,--
In front of the courtyard of the stilted house on the mountaintop, eight jackals, each leading their own Miao guards, stood waiting.
Not only that, the Holy Maiden and Miao Huang's guards were also lined up in the cold wind.
As for Mu Achen, the prospective Miao king, Amo and Ayun woke him up as soon as the first war drum sounded.
Although I didn't go to bed late last night, Mu Achen had a few too many drinks with Deputy Director Cheng and General Jing.
It's 53 degrees, and the alcohol is quite potent.
A cup, a horn cup!
Fortunately, he had the Nine Realms Space to sober up, otherwise he wouldn't be so refreshed today.
"Ah Chen, it's getting late. You go to Black Wind Village first, Ah Yun and I will go directly to Sparrow East Village to wait for you."
"good!"
Ah Chen walked out of the main room, leading Ah Yin's Red Bird Guards and the guards of the Eight Jackals, carrying torches as they went down the side path.
They first passed through Black Crow Village, and then headed straight for Black Wind Village.
Today's drumming ceremony is a major event for the Miao people. It cannot be as simple as just the nine clan elders; it also requires the presence of the most senior and elderly elders.
These old men were led by the Black Wind Village Elder.
Ninety years old!
So Ah Chen came to pick him up in person.
The scene of them galloping on horseback in the darkness was quite breathtaking.
Several Miao villages nearby temporarily accommodated many non-Miao people. This scene, seen by these non-Miao people, made their blood boil.
"boom!!"
The war drums sounded once again.
When Achen and his group arrived at Black Wind Village, all of the several thousand core Miao people on the Black Miao side were already in place.
When the old man saw Ah Chen, he was very excited and gratified, but he said aloud:
“Achen, you are the future Miao King. You cannot come in person just because of a Miao person. This is Miao etiquette.”
"Grandpa, I am your great-grandson!"
"That won't do either. Ancient Miao customs cannot be abandoned."
It's true that Grandpa is ninety years old, and it's also true that his health isn't as good as it used to be, but the old man's voice is still strong and powerful.
At the Lusheng performance venue in Heifeng Village, a large wooden chair was prominently placed among the core Miao people.
After the old man sat down--
"rise!!!"
The chieftain gave a long shout, --
The strongest and most capable Miao people immediately stepped forward, lifted the large wooden chair, and then the four thousand strong and capable Miao people of the Black Miao branch set off.
Ah Chen wanted to carry his great-grandfather, but he knew that his great-grandfather would never allow it, nor would the Black Miao branch agree to it.
All of this is because Mu Achen is the future Miao King.
If we let him carry it, wouldn't that violate the ancient Miao customs?
Therefore, Mu Achen rode ahead on horseback.
…
It's exactly 7 o'clock.
That is, the Chen hour in the twelve two-hour periods of the day.
