In the end, Luo Shixing reluctantly obeyed Alezhen's suggestion, and put the tiger hat on his head, so he had to bow his head under the low eaves.

Hey, Maomao is tired.

Fortunately, the tiger head hat is relatively loose, and it can still be worn, but I don’t know if it looks good.

The ponytail behind him will directly put the tiger head hat into a bag, anyway, he can't see it himself, and if Ale can still laugh at his appearance, then it's okay.

Luo Shixing followed Alezhen all the way out of the county government office, and only then did he realize: "Where are we going?"

He thought that he was following the example of Taoyuan's three-way sworn brotherhood, making a case in the backyard of the county government and paying a few obeisances, and it would be enough to tell the world, why did he go out?

At night, the entire county town was dark and lit, and they were the only ones holding torches, and they always looked like they were doing no good.

Ale really walked in front with his hands behind his back, with a tall and straight figure, and he felt like he stood out from the crowd when he was surrounded by a group of people.

He replied as he walked, "To the altar."

Luo Shixing's heart was shocked: "Ne...do I need to go to the altar?"

The altar is generally the most important place for ethnic minorities, and only those particularly solemn ceremonies need to go to the altar.

Alzhen said: "Of course I'm going, you and I swore to be brothers, and you will be a member of my family in the future, and you will be included in the genealogy."

The more Luo Shixing listened, the more wrong he became: "Is...is that so?"

He has never heard that sworn sworn brothers need to enter the other party's household registration book, what's the situation?

No, you don't even have words, where did you get the genealogy?Is Al really fooling him?

He couldn't help turning his head to look at Wei Siwen who was following behind.

Wei Siwen... Wei Siwen was silent, he didn't know what was going on.

May be the characteristics of the local ethnic group?Anyway, the Han people don’t do this. As for the genealogy, although there is no written language, some tribes have their own way of recording. Most of them draw human figures on tortoise shells or bones to represent this person.

So strictly speaking, there is nothing wrong with what Ale really said, he also has a family tree.

It's just that the genealogy of the Han nationality is in the form of written records, while the genealogy of others is recorded in the form of pictures. If future generations want to see their family trees, they can only talk by looking at pictures.

As they approached the altar, Luo Shixing found that many people were already surrounding the altar.

These people were obviously the people of the county town, and at this time they were dressed much better than what Luo Shixing had seen before, obviously wearing clothes that would only be worn during festivals.

Ale really seemed to really attach importance to this sworn brotherhood, which made Luo Shixing quite nervous for a while.

Alezhen led him all the way up and stood on the top of the altar. After arriving there, Luo Shixing discovered that the middle of the top of the altar was actually a big fire pit.

At this time, the fire pit was burning, and Ale really stood in the middle and said something.

Luo Shixing didn't understand, he only knew that there was a circle of people around the firepit, and after Alezhen finished speaking, they jumped around the firepit.

At this moment, Luo Shixing deeply regretted not asking in advance what the ceremony was going to do, and Ale was really unreliable, so he didn't even tell him.

He couldn't understand what they were saying. Hey!

I feel a little silly standing here.

But soon he unexpectedly discovered that the fire in the fire pit seemed to grow bigger and bigger as the dance progressed. The dancers stepped on the same beat every dance step, very neatly, and the flames also followed their dances. The dance moves.

Luo Shixing was shocked. He didn't know what the reason was, and felt that it couldn't be explained with the scientific knowledge he knew.

As the dance progressed, the flame finally reached a visual height of nearly two meters, and with Luo Shixing's height, he even felt the pressure of the flame on him.

At this moment, the dancing movements suddenly became faster, and even a few dancers surrounded him and began to circle around him.

Luo Shixing was taken aback by them, he wanted to retreat but stopped abruptly.

He didn't know what it meant, was he praying for blessings?

The people in front of him circled around him so much that his eyes were dazzled. After a while, these people dispersed, and Alezhen held an unlit torch in his hand and handed it to Luo Shixing, saying, "Lynx cat, go to the fire pit." Get a fire, and light the brazier."

Luo Shixing breathed a sigh of relief, and finally told him the process.

Although he didn't understand the meaning of this set of procedures, but now he didn't want to understand at all, he could do whatever Ale asked him to do.

Hurry up and hurry back, he's a little sleepy!

So he took the torch and went to the firepit to light the fire. The raging flames in the firepit made Luo Shixing feel the heat, and he felt as if his face was going to be baked dry just by using the fire.

The torch was ignited very smoothly. Alezhen had a smile on his face when he saw it, and said softly to Luo Shixing: "Go, lynx cat, go and light the one in the east, and see if it can be lit."

See if it can be ignited?Is it possible that these braziers are still a little unflammable?

Luo Shixing first walked to the brazier on the east side. Before he lit it, he took a look inside the brazier and found that there was half a pot of black powdery stuff there. He didn't know what it was. Anyway, it should not be carbon, and there was no grease look.

I don't know if the ignition success has something to do with this thing.

He carefully put the burning torches into the brazier. He didn't dare to put all of them in at first, for fear that if the brazier wasn't lit by accident, the torch would go out instead.

But what he didn't expect was that after the torch touched the contents of the brazier, the brazier instantly burst into flames.

There was even a bursting sound at the moment of ignition, and the flames that jumped up with the sound startled Luo Shixing. He even felt as if he smelled a faint smell of sulfur, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.

After lighting this brazier, Luo Shixing was slightly relieved, and continued to the next brazier.

He counted it just now, and it seems that there are nine braziers in total, surrounding the altar, and there is a big brazier in the middle.

The big brazier is a lot higher than the other braziers, and it seems to echo the fire pit.

Luo Shixing lit the braziers one by one, and each brazier was lit smoothly.

At first, he was a little nervous. After all, so many people were silently staring at him. If it weren't for the burning flames around him, it would be weird to be stared at by so many people silently in the middle of the night.

And as the brazier was successfully lit, those people also began to whisper to each other.

Unfortunately, although Luo Shixing could hear their voices, he couldn't understand what they said.

He had no choice but to keep his mind steady and continue to light the brazier, while feeling ruthless in his heart, he must ask Cheng Jingwei to teach him the language here when he gets back.

Now that I have decided to integrate, it is more convenient to learn the dialect.

Luo Shixing thought about this, and lit the last few small braziers all the way.

When it came to the third to last small brazier, the ignition was not so smooth.

Luo Shixing put the torch in, but the contents inside didn't even react at all. He changed positions several times in a row, and finally raised the torch and used the outer flame to barely ignite the brazier.

The penultimate one took more time. This time, Luo Shixing changed several times. The outer flame baked the fuel inside to a relatively high temperature, and then ignited it with the inner flame.

He felt that there might be something wrong with the setting of these braziers. This one was so difficult, and the next one might be even more difficult.

He glanced back at Alezhen, and found that Alezhen's expression was unprecedentedly serious. He raised his chin at Luo Shixing: "Continue."

Luo Shixing was a little uneasy, did Alezhen's expression have something to say?

However, the other party asked him to continue, so... he should continue.

The last brazier, Luo Shixing, simply used the torch to start circling in it, occasionally poking the fuel to stir them up.

He felt that the fuel in the brazier at the back became more humid, and the fuel in the front was still in a powder state. The few that were not easy to ignite just now seemed to be agglomerated, and the fuel in the last brazier was even under the surface. All in a few pieces.

After Luo Shixing knocked them apart with a torch, the fuel began to smoke, and finally produced small flames in different places.

After the flame appeared in the brazier, he didn't rush to raise the torch, but continued to stay inside for a while, and he didn't raise the torch until he confirmed that the fuel on the surface was completely ignited.

After the last small brazier was lit, he looked up at the big brazier, then turned his head and looked at Alezhen again, wondering if this brazier was also counted in the lighting ceremony.

Alezhen's expression looked a little unfathomable under the jumping firelight, and he nodded to Luo Shixing.

As he moved, more and more people were whispering, and even a few old men on crutches came out to salute Alzhen and said something.

Ale really turned his head and said a few words. Although Luo Shixing couldn't understand, he could hear his tone was very serious, so he stood there hesitant.

Are those people against him continuing to light the brazier?

Just when he was hesitating, Alzhen said: "Lynx mantle, continue."

Luo Shixing glanced at Wei Siwen, and found that Wei Siwen also looked confused and didn't look very smart, so he continued to light the last brazier.

He originally thought it would be more difficult to ignite the big brazier, but he didn't expect that after the torch was put in, the big brazier exploded into flames, which was more violent than the reaction of the first brazier just now.

After the flame burns, its height can even faintly match the flame in the fire pit.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a wire of fire coming out of the big brazier and extending all the way into the fire pond. That scene was like a special effect in a later movie.

After the first line of fire appeared, several more appeared immediately, like a shooting star, they flew across the air and fell into the fire pit. The only difference from the shooting star was that the line of fire always existed in mid-air.

At this time, the people under the altar had already started to exclaim, not to mention them, even Luo Shixing wanted to exclaim, especially wanting to communicate with Alezhen, how did this happen?

He didn't see anything connected to the firepit and the brazier in mid-air just now.

A total of seven fire wires formed a fire wire bridge in mid-air, all the way to the flames of the fire pit.

Luo Shixing even discovered that the jumping frequency of the flames in the brazier and the firepit were actually the same!

These ethnic minorities in the mountains may really have something.

He was dying of curiosity, and wanted to ask Alezhen what was going on.

As a result, he was startled as soon as he turned his head—at this time, there was already a whole group of people kneeling under the altar, and all the people who had just stood under the altar were kneeling, and even Alezhen lowered his head slightly in his direction with his right hand on his chest salute.

Luo Shixing hugged the torch in horror: what's going on?
