This place is like a giant eye. All the trees and rocks around it have been flattened, presenting the appearance of a huge square.

At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark, but bonfires were lit everywhere, and countless mountain people came and went, roasting delicious food, singing and dancing, or playing all kinds of strange musical instruments, and laughter filled every inch of the land. The surrounding debris had been cleared away, and there were many tents and wooden houses built in groups on the periphery. In the distance, there was a smooth mountain wall, and it seemed that there were many caves!

This scene reminded Xu Feng of the scene in Journey to the West that he had seen on Blue Star, where Tang Monk was forcibly taken to marry the daughter of a certain king, and everyone was singing and dancing!

"So many people, so lively!" Li Nianshuang couldn't help but sigh! Jian Yi and Dao Er also showed amazement! Xu Feng first confirmed that Xiao Hei was not lost, and then saw the mountain villager who brought them here, leading a group of mountain villagers towards them from not far away!

"Master, among these people, there are several mountain villagers who came to ask for help a few days ago, and the mountain villager who fell ill is also among them!" Jian Yi looked at a group of mountain villagers approaching and whispered to him.

Xu Feng nodded. It seemed that the other party had a high status among the mountain people.

"You have come from far away, and I am sorry for any neglect I have shown you!" The leader walked with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, and it was obvious that he was a high-ranking official. He smiled and bowed.

Xu Feng and the others also hurriedly returned the greeting. "It is we who are the ones who have made the mistake of visiting!" Xu Feng said.

"You are too polite, my friend. My name is Luo Kun. My child suddenly fell ill that day. If it weren't for your generous help, the consequences would be disastrous! I am grateful to you from the bottom of my heart!" the other party said!

"Qing'er, these are the people who saved you that day. Why don't you meet them quickly!" He turned around and instructed a young mountain villager who was about sixteen or seventeen years old beside him.

"Thank you very much for saving my life!" The young mountain man stepped forward and bowed deeply to Xu Feng and others politely.

"Please stand up quickly. This is what we doctors should do!" Xu Feng said hurriedly!

"You have come from far away, and I should have personally entertained you warmly. Unfortunately, I have a lot of trivial matters to attend to before the celebration, and I am really too busy to do so. I hope you can forgive me!" Luo Kun said with a hint of apology.

"You are too polite. We are just curious and want to see the grand ceremony of the nobles."

"Well! Qing'er, your father is busy with worldly affairs and cannot get away. You don't have to go to the temple's sacrificial ceremony. Just stay here and entertain your benefactors!" Luo Kun ordered.

"Yes, father. I will definitely greet several benefactors!" Luo Qing said respectfully.

"Then I will take my leave first. If you need anything, just tell Qing'er!" Luo Kun bowed and said goodbye!

Xu Feng and the others also hurriedly returned the greeting. The other party quickly disappeared from sight!

"It has been a long time since outsiders have come to participate in our mountain tribe's celebrations. This is where foreign guests used to rest. I have asked someone to clean it up. I will take you to the celebration venue first!" Luo Qing said.

"Okay, thank you! By the way, how is your illness?"

"It's fine now. This is a family hereditary disease. There is no cure. It's dangerous if it occurs from time to time when you're young, but it basically won't occur after you become an adult."

"Oh, all right!"

As they talked, they came to a high platform. It was carved from the entire mountain, forming a long platform and stone benches. You can roughly see the entire huge venue, with a good view! It's a bit like a VIP seat.

"Please take a seat, my benefactors!" Luo Qing asked Xu Feng and the others to sit down. Soon after, a maid brought a sumptuous meal and drinks to the long table.

"By the way, this is a little gift from us, please accept it!" Xu Feng took the gift from his two apprentices and gave it to Luo Qing!

"My benefactor is so thoughtful!" Luo Qing took it with a smile. Seeing the wine, he had no reaction, but glanced at the exquisite snacks, his eyes lit up slightly! Then he handed it to the follower behind him!

"It seems that your branch has a high status among the mountain tribes!" said Xu Feng.

"Haha, to be honest, in addition to the clan leader and the people in the temple, our mountain tribe has a total of six elders who are in charge of the affairs of the entire clan. My father is one of them." Luo Qing explained.

"I see!"

After a whole day's journey, Xu Feng and the others were already a little hungry. With the delicious food in front of them, they no longer hesitated and started to enjoy it.

"Delicious, really delicious!" Jian Yi and Dao Er couldn't help but praise it again and again. Even Xu Feng thought the food was quite good. Whether it was meat or mountain vegetarian food, they were all carefully cooked and tasted delicious, which made people's appetites grow! Not only that, even the wine was fragrant and mellow, far better than the so-called fine wine that Xu Feng asked the villagers of Xiaogou Village to bring from the town.

I can’t believe that the mountain people living in the mountains have such skills in this area that are far superior to those outside!

"The celebration hasn't officially started yet. After the clan leader and the elders complete the sacrificial ceremony in the temple, they will go down the mountain to preside over the celebration ceremony. There will be various programs after that for three consecutive days! Of course, if you are tired, you can go back to the guest room to rest!" Luo Qing explained.

"Oh? I wonder what programs are there?" Xu Feng asked curiously.

"There are many, including wrestling, archery, stone lifting and so on. The winners will also receive rewards from the clan leader! Huh? My dad and the others are coming down. This year's sacrificial ceremony is quite fast. The celebration will officially begin soon!" Luo Qing's expression suddenly moved, and his eyes fell on a group of people coming down from the distant mountain!

The leader was naturally the chief of the mountain people, a very strong white-haired old man, like a lion king among a group of lions. Behind him followed a group of people, including Luo Kun. It seemed that the six people in the front were the six elders of the mountain people!

The tribe leader went up to the platform to speak, and all the villagers stood up and waited respectfully for his lecture, even Luo Qing was no exception. Xu Feng and the others naturally did not dare to be arrogant, and they also stood up honestly and faced the direction of the tribe leader!

After an impassioned speech, which roughly meant the blessing of the ancestors, the grace of the mountain gods, and the unity of the people, the mountain leader announced the official start of the annual celebration. Thousands of mountain people cheered and their voices resounded through the sky!

In Xu Feng's opinion, the mountain people's celebration is like a combination of Blue Star's New Year's Eve and a large-scale sports meeting. The mountain people celebrate, eat and drink to their heart's content, and compete with each other. The mountain people are tough and have a strong fighting spirit in their bones!

Soon all kinds of fights began amid cheers. Jian Yi and Dao Er were young and energetic, and were very interested in these kinds of competitions. It was hard to see clearly from the stands, so they wanted to get closer to watch, and Xu Feng did not stop them.

Luo Qing tied silk around the necks of the two men, which represented that they were guests invited by Luo Kun's lineage, so other mountain people would not be surprised!

Xu Feng and Li Nianshuang also tied their belts. After all, the celebration lasted for three days, and they couldn't sit on the mountain all the time! Even Luo Qing himself signed up for the archery competition. Winning the championship and standing out among peers would not only gain prestige and rewards, but also allow him to perform well in front of his ideal partner!

After eating and drinking, Xu Feng watched the fierce competitions in various places for a while. Cheers and applause could be heard from time to time. At this time, the night was getting darker. After briefly explaining a few words to Li Nianshuang, he took Xiao Hei to rest!

The mountain folks were strong, so even if they reveled from night to day and then back to night, it was no big deal, after all, this kind of event only happened once a year. Of course, those who participated in the competition generally would not indulge themselves so much, and needed to conserve their energy and stay in the best condition!

Xu Feng slept until the next day when it was just dawn. A servant brought him water to wash. It must be said that Elder Luo Kun took good care of them!
