Elf’s Shorts Boy

Latest URL: Even though they were guests at Liu Qing's house, Liang Ren and Bi Diao still did not relax their training, and urgently prepared for the upcoming Divine Bird Festival.

Every day is busy and fulfilling, which makes Liu Qing and Liu Hong brothers and sisters admire for this.

Even though he has left his peers far behind, Liangren and his Pokémon are still strict with themselves. This hardworking spirit and attitude alone makes Liu Hong, who is his age, very ashamed.

In the twinkling of an eye, two days later, just after dawn, the entire Yinyu City became lively.

The citizens are still preparing breakfast at home, and the early bird Pokémon is already circling and singing over Yinyu City, inviting friends and companions.

As a gathering place for bird trainers, every household in Yinyu City breeds bird Pokémon, whether it is Kanto, Chengdu, Fangyuan, Sinnoh..., all kinds of bird Pokémon appear in the sky above Yinyu City can see.

Proud Swallow, Great King Swallow, Long-winged Gull, Toucan Gull, Bi Diao, Toucan, Owl...

In this grand festival, there are no gorgeous banners, hydrogen balloons, and festive fireworks, but only the energetic figures and melodious singing of various beautiful bird Pokémon.

But even so, Yinyu City, a fresh and verdant natural city, also became playful during this festival with the forest tops rubbing against each other.

He had breakfast with Liu Hong and Liu Shi. As the president of the Bird Trainers Association, Mr. Liu Sheng,

Today's "Sacred Bird Festival" requires him to coordinate and direct the whole process.

Liu Qing is the leader of this line of bird trainers in Yinyu City, and he and the younger generations in the clan are the main participants in today's Divine Bird Festival.

"Little Hong, beloved, when you two are ready, we will set off for the downtown square." Downstairs in the villa, Liu Hong's father, Liu Shi, shouted.

"Okay, okay~"

"Uncle Liu Shi, I'm ready too."

Bringing Dumbmon and Leolu downstairs, Bi Diao had already joined the bird Pokémon Liu Qing and Liu Hong in the early morning, and joined the "Bird Guard of Honor" in the sky.

"Okay, let's go then." Liu Shi's face was red and he looked very happy.

"My beloved, Xiaohong, you two should work hard for today's challenge~"

Following the Liu family's father and daughter, they got into the long car, and the three rushed towards the downtown square where the sacrificial activities were held.

Liu Shi has no talent as a trainer, and is not a distinguished bird trainer. He cannot participate in many sacrificial activities today.

Liu Hong is a girl, her husband is an outsider, and the ancestor sacrifice of the bird trainer line, the two of them don't need to participate.

But in this grand and solemn festival, both father and daughter still wear the traditional national costumes of the bird trainer.

The Liu family was very warm and hospitable. He stayed for three days and became very close to the family.

For this reason, no matter whether he is going to do as the Romans do, or simply showing closeness and respect to the Liu family, my beloved also asked Liu Hong to help him prepare a set of traditional bird trainer costumes today.

Dark blue embroidered narrow-sleeve right cardigan jacket and trousers with pleats and wide trousers. He wears a black cloth cap with bird feathers on his head and a black cape-like ornament called 'chawa'. A pair of blue cloth shoes with white soles.

Usually dressed in a casual urban style, suddenly wearing such a set of thick ethnic costumes, the beloved raised his hand and looked at himself from side to side, which seemed very novel.

"Giggle~" Seeing his beloved's funny face, Liu Hong who was sitting opposite him couldn't help but giggled.

"Brother Liangren, don't look at it, you are just a walking hanger, no matter what style of clothes you wear, you look handsome." Liu Hong hugged the dumb beast, and said with a sigh.

"Really?" The beloved was a little skeptical.

As a young girl brimming with youth, Liu Hong is wearing an embroidered blouse with a large breast and a right lapel, and a long white pleated skirt with layers of colored cloth on the lower edge.

Different from Liu Shi's plain and dignified appearance all in black, and her husband's heroic and handsome main color of black basket, Liu Hong's dress today is colorful but harmonious and beautiful, giving people a very unique charm.

The sun was getting higher and higher, and more and more citizens rushed to the central square of the city after breakfast. The closer to the central square, the greater the flow of people.

"The car can't drive, so let's go on foot." Liu Shi asked the driver to pull over, and turned to his beloved and Liu Hong who were chatting.

"Okay~"

"Wow—"

The sound insulation in the limousine is very good, but the three of them opened the door and got out of the car, and all kinds of sounds rushed over in an instant.

"It's so lively!" Liu Hong approached her beloved, shouting and preaching to him.

"It's really lively." Liangren picked up Leolu who was not tall enough, turned his head and shouted to Liu Hong with a smile.

Some time ago, I took my Pokmon alone to experience in the rainforest. I have been a guest in the Liu Family Manor for the past two days, and the environment is very quiet and peaceful.

Suddenly being in the noisy crowd, Liangren was a little uncomfortable for a while, but in this joyful festival, everyone was full of smiles, so Liangren did not reject it.

They followed Liu Hong and his daughter to the sacrificial square, and soon approaching the sacrificial square, the trainers of the bird trainer line erected a wooden fence that strictly prohibited outsiders from approaching.

Foreign tourists with cameras were blocked on the outermost layer. Even those who signed up for the challenge of the "Sacred Bird Festival" were not allowed to enter at this moment.

But good people are different.

Dressed in traditional national costumes, with Liu Hong and his daughter leading the way beside him, not only was he unimpeded, but also the young trainer responsible for maintaining order looked at them with respect in his eyes, and he was treated as a proper VIP.

A group of teenagers, led by middle-aged and elderly people around them, carried out sacrificial activities, and the leader among the juniors was Liu Qing who followed Liu Sheng out early in the morning.

The square cannot be entered yet, but a high platform has been built with wood around the square for viewing, and the beloved sat down at the front of the high platform behind Liu Hong and his daughter.

looking down—

In the center of the central square, there is a huge banyan tree, and its dense canopy spreads out in the sky like a canopy. My husband glanced at it and estimated in his heart that the ancient banyan tree was at least two hundred meters long.

The trunk of Panqiu is at least as thick as seven or eight people hugging each other. Shimenawa is tied to the trunk, red cloth strips of various prayers are tied to the branches, and the smoke of burning incense for sacrifices around is lingering.

"What a big ancient banyan tree." My beloved couldn't help sighing.

"Of course, this is the tree king of Yinyu City. It is more than 3,000 years old, and its huge root system has covered the entire Yinyu City. Except for the "Forest of the Elders", all the banyan trees in the city are made of Descendants of the Tree King. "

"Furthermore, according to the records of the clan, it is said that when Shenniao Festival celebrations were held in ancient times, the divine bird landed on the tree king's branch, accepted the sacrifices of the ancestors and celebrated the festival with the ancestors."

Liu Shi was chatting with his peers in the surrounding clan, Liu Hong couldn't help explaining when he saw his beloved sigh.

"The tree is more than three thousand years old, and the legendary bird has docked on its branches? No wonder it can be called the king of trees." The beloved nodded, full of admiration in his heart.

He is a time traveler, and he is very interested in everything that is full of long history in the Pokémon world.

"..."

The tourists outside the square are very noisy, and the sacrificial activities in the white marble square below are in full swing.

There are many women and children in the stand where the beloved is. Women are not eligible to participate in sacrificial activities, and men in the clan are not eligible if they are not bird trainers.

Seeing Geng Liuhong sitting with her husband, Miaomiao and Yuou who came with her family, they also ran over after saying hello from a distance.

There are still many children playing and playing in the stands. Children who are not yet thirteen years old and do not have Pokémon at hand. Both men and women are currently spectators.

"..."

The "Sacred Bird Festival" has been prepared for nearly a month before the arrival of the beloved. Through divination, it is determined that today is the festival day. The descendants of the family have entered the "Forest of the Elders" and used spiritual tubes to invite their ancestors back.

The sacrifice officially started at nine o'clock in the morning. Under the leadership of Mr. Liu Shi as the officiant, Liu Qing and the juniors behind him started the sacrifice one by one according to the procedure.

Burning incense and paper, reciting words and scriptures...

During a burst of majestic spring festival music, Liu Qing and other juniors in the clan took off their shirts, shirtless and barefoot, their bodies were doused with sesame oil, and their faces were painted with color.

First, they hold hands and form a circle, dancing sacrificial dances around the tree king, and singing carols to pray for blessings.

When offering sacrifices to sacred birds and ancestors, the first step is to kneel down and worship, followed by a blessing ceremony.

After a while, the junior team left the sacrificial square carrying the spirit tube in twos.

Follow the route planned at the beginning, go around the old city, return the spirit tubes door to door to the ancestral hall, and finally return to the sacrificial square.

The sun rose higher and higher, and it was already noon when all the sacrificial ceremonies were over.

Some of the women and children who are responsible for preparing the festival meals have already rolled up their sleeves and carried the cages, and have set up a feast around the sacrificial square.

All the people in the stands, no matter men, women or children, went down to the dams around the square, and sat down with the sacrificial procession. The aroma of the food spread in all directions, and the Adam's apples of the tourists outside the wooden fence could be seen rolling.

It's a pity that this is from the lineage of bird trainers. Only those who are famous in the family tree of the ancestral hall can participate in the banquet. Foreign tourists are not allowed to participate even if they give gifts and money.

The "God Bird Blessing" challenge will only be held in the afternoon, and the bird Pokémon who have been flying all morning also landed with the sound of the master's whistle.

"Bi Diao, recharge your batteries, I'll see you in the afternoon~" After feeding Bi Diao the fine grains prepared in advance, the beloved glanced in the direction of the "Forest of the Elders", and said confidently.

"Beep Eagle—"

At the dam banquet, there is no red tape in the morning sacrifice. The respected old people gather together in a small circle, the dignified and prudent middle-aged people gather in a small circle, and the young and juniors who are going to participate in the challenge activities in the afternoon also gather together. Have something to talk about.

As a guest of the Liu family, Liangren thought that he was just here for a feast, and no one at the same table knew him except the brothers and sisters of the Liu family and Miaomiao Yuou.

However, to his surprise, he went to the table with Liu Qing and the others, and the other people at the same table looked at him, looking at the dumb beast and Riolu in his arms, and someone directly shouted took his name.

"Damn it, Yuan Hua~"
