Chen Youcai's hometown is in a remote mountain village far away from the county seat.
It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon when the two arrived at the small village where Chen Youmao was located.
When the little yellow dog at the entrance of the village saw Wang Dachun's tall jeep, he thought it was a monster. He was so frightened that he barked and got into the dog hole on the side.
The village is at the foot of the mountain. The village is not big. There are only twenty or thirty families living here.
It is very remote and the road is very narrow. There is only a narrow cement road.
Chen Youmao's son and daughter-in-law usually work outside, and only the old couple works at home.
Far away, Chen Youcai saw people crowding around his brother's house. He couldn't help but feel a twitch in his heart. Could something have happened to his brother?
"Brother Dachun, please drive faster. Nothing will happen to my brother's house!"
"okay!"
Wang Dachun stepped on the accelerator, and soon the car stopped at the threshing floor.
Chen Youcai immediately got out of the car and rushed towards his brother's house. He pushed through the crowd and said, "What's going on? Did something happen to my brother?"
"Hey, Youcai, you are back. Nothing happened. It was your sister-in-law who asked someone to invite gods from the mountains to exorcise your brother from evil spirits."
Some villagers saw Chen Youcai and quickly explained.
Chen Youcai patted his chest, "Oh, that's good. Where is the old god?"
"In the courtyard, an exorcism ceremony will be held soon."
Chen Youcai immediately came to Wang Dachun and explained the situation, and finally said: "You must not be a liar!"
Wang Dachun smiled, "Now that you're here, let's take a look. If you're a liar or not, don't draw any conclusions now!"
He is well-informed and does not reject these things. There are many things that cannot be explained by science.
So the two simply stood in the crowd and watched the fun happily.
At this time, an altar was placed in the center of the yard, with pig heads, fruits, candles, cloth, etc. placed on the altar.
Chen Youmao and his wife Liu Lianying sat on two stools respectively.
In front of the altar, there is a thin old woman with deep-set eyes. The old woman is wearing a yellow mandarin jacket, a drum around her waist, and a shaman hat on her head. She is burning incense and praying.
Not far away, there was a short old man in a yellow mandarin sitting on a pony, holding a whip in his hand.
Wang Dachun raised his eyebrows. Looking at their posture, these two people seemed to be great dancers!
The so-called God Dance is a ritual in which the gods are invited to ward off evil spirits.
Especially in rural areas, when some people are ill for a long time, or the patient is crazy, the family will think that the patient may be possessed by evil spirits, and then they will ask a magician to exorcise the evil spirits.
But now there are very few people who really know how to dance, and most of them are liars.
The dance master usually consists of two people, one is the master and the other is the helper. This old woman is the master, and the old man with the whip is the helper.
The two are actually an old couple.
After Chen Youmao's son Chen Xinhua lit the fire, the dance ceremony began.
After the old woman (the great god) walked around the fire a few times, she sat down on a chair next to the incense burner and glanced at the assistant, her wife, which meant that it was time to start.
The old man (assistant) swung his whip, cracked it beautifully, and then sang:
The sun sets and the sky turns dark, and every house has its doors closed.
Nine out of ten houses have locks, and one door is left open.
Birds rush to the mountains and forests, tigers throw themselves into the mountains, magpies and old birds rush to the trees.
The house sparrows and pigeons rush to the eaves to help me come here.
Feet on the ground, head on the sky, two steps for one step, three steps for two steps.
In twos and threes I came to the great god.
What I did today when I was young was to go to great lengths to move the gods.
Lao Xianjia——
If you don't come, I will move. If you come, I will move.
Moving to March 3rd of the following year, I picked up this whip again.
The sound of the whip is heard and the chain is ringing. Listen to me and invite the fox fairy.
Lao Xianjia——
Coming out of the ancient cave, raise your eyes and look at the sky.
If it's a sunny day, the clouds will fight, if it's a cloudy day, the wind will whirl.
Riding the clouds to fight, riding the wind whirlwind, the old immortal goes out of his way to do everything.
The old immortal's family, leaving the ancient cave, leaving the mountains, rushing to the camp, please come here and take a look...
When the old man (the helper) sang this, the old woman (the master) began to tremble all over, and the more she shook, the more violently she shook her head.
After shaking for a while, he stood up and began to swing his waist, and the bells on his waist began to clang.
With the cooperation of the bells, she held the sheep's hooves in her hands and beat the donkey skin drum. The sound of the drums and the bells rang together... The more the people shook, the crazier they became, like windmills spinning around, and finally turned into a white light, which even people could see Not sure...
The old woman (the master) kept shaking and banging for a while, then she suddenly fell to the ground and fainted...
The onlookers couldn't help but let out a "yeah" sound.
The old man (assistant) waved his hand to signal everyone not to be nervous.
Soon, the old woman (the great god) made a gurgling sound in her throat and began to speak. The voice was faint, with the coldness of hell, and seemed to be coming from more than ten miles away.
Note: At this time, the old woman has been possessed by the great immortal.
The old woman (immortal) said: What do you want from me?
The patient's wife, Chen Youcai's sister-in-law Liu Lianying, quickly said: "Old Xianjia, we are asking you to treat my wife."
The old woman (immortal) said: "His disease is difficult to cure."
Liu Lianying said: Great Fairy, you took care of my wife's strange disease. I will kill pigs and sheep to repay you. "
At this time, the old woman (immortal) closed her eyes and said, "Just watch!"
After saying that, he shook his head and said something that no one could understand.
Then bang bang bang, bang! Bang bang bang, bang! After beating the tambourine for a while, he began to sing enthusiastically.
It probably said that the old man went to a place he shouldn't have gone, inhaled some yin energy, then walked around Chen Youmao a few times, and gave him a bowl of water to drink.
There were many villagers watching, whispering to each other, as if they were watching a opera, there was an endless stream, smiling and immersed in the fun.
Soon the ceremony came to an end. The old woman (the great god) shook her disheveled head and looked around. At this time, she was ready to go home.
At this time, the old man (the soldier) knew it well and asked the old woman (the great immortal): "I said, great immortal, where do you live and how do you go home? So the old woman (the great immortal) sang Concluding remarks:
The old fairy's family is in the Fox Fairy Cave, and they have to pass three passes of Langya.
The three wolf fangs are guarded, and the three wolf fangs are watched.
The fox sky is flying, the fox sky is red, the fox sky is black, and the fox sky is dragon.
Fox Cuiping, Hu Cuiping, trot all the way to the joint venture.
If it's a sunny day, you can ride the clouds; if it's a cloudy day, you can ride the sails.
Talking and singing, we walked forward and arrived at the Fox Fairy Cave in an instant.
My home is neither cold nor hot, hey, cough, hey, yo...
