Chapter 103 Daotang River and Riyue Mountain ([-])

Chapter [-] Daotang River and Riyue Mountain ([-])

The time along the way passed quickly while browsing the grassland scenery and chatting with the herdsmen, and soon you could see the West Sea from a distance. He Yuanying was also shocked by the beautiful and picturesque scenery on the coast of the West Sea!
On the shore of the West Sea, the sky is blue!From a distance, the sky is connected to the water, and the water is connected to the sky, beautiful and vast.The seaside pasture is luxuriant, which is a rich natural pasture.

The "Nadam" conference is a traditional festival with a long history of herdsmen here. It is generally held according to tribes and natural regions, and plays an important role in their lives!
On the grassland, in July and August every year, when the livestock are fat, the "Nadam" meeting is held.

This is a cultural, sports and entertainment conference held by people to celebrate the harvest. There are no restrictions on the participants. People of all ethnicities and religious beliefs can participate.

"Nadam" means entertainment or game in Shiwei language. At the "Nadam" conference, there are thrilling horse racing, wrestling, etc.; there are admirable archery, weightlifting, etc.There are also competitive chess skills, as well as fascinating singing and dancing and so on.

Before the meeting, men, women and children from nearby tribes rode in chariots and horses, dressed in festive costumes, and regardless of the long distance and hard work, they all came to participate in the competition and watch the program.

When He Yuanying came to the venue with the brigade, the first event of the conference, the wrestling competition, just started.

Wrestling is the highlight of "Nadam". It is the first to be held and the last to end. Even some businessmen from other places have turned "Nadam" into a wrestling competition.

The wrestlers wear high riding boots, wide satin wrestling trousers on their lower bodies, red, yellow and blue headscarves on their heads, leather waistcoats on their upper bodies, colorful ornaments around their necks, and patterned belts tied around their waists.Play in twos, imitate the ancient knights striding forward, circle the field for a circle, and then start the official game.

In the wrestling competition on the grassland, although there are no restrictions on registration, the competition adopts an elimination method. The loser cannot register for the competition again, and the winner enters the next round until the final winner.

In wrestling matches, sumo wrestling, circling and stalemate, and knee-knee fighting are all acceptable.But you can't hug your legs, you can't do anti-joint movements, you can't pull your pants and kick your crotch, etc.

Wrestling on the grassland is a perfect combination of strength and skill.Generally, it is necessary to win by cleverness, and the winner will be determined by one fall!As long as any part of the contestant's body above the knee touches the ground, he loses.

The final winner should take out the fruits and milk food prepared in advance by the conference, and then sprinkle them among the onlookers while running, so that everyone can share his "fruits of victory".

Horse racing is also one of the important activities at the Naadam Conference. These events are carried out successively, but there is no fixed sequence.

After the start of wrestling, the competitions of other sports are almost indistinguishable. The registration of the competition is also relatively casual, and it is possible before the start.

After the horse race started, the riders lined up, all wearing colorful belts and scarves, full of energy and youthful vigor.

At the start and end of the horse race, all kinds of colorful flags are planted. When the horn blows, the riders will fly on their saddles and whip their horses.For a while, the red scarf was flying like an arrow off the string, scrambling to be the first to reach the finish line!The first to reach the finish line is the winner.

After all, the number of people participating in each horse race is limited, and the arrival time of the players is also different, so it is held in multiple times, and each time there is only one winner.

As for the competition among the winners, participation is voluntary, and it can also be said that this is a kind of knockout competition.

Winners can choose not to participate, but losers cannot participate!The final winner will become the most praised hero on the grassland.

After winning the first round, many riders will abstain, because the rider's own skills are only a small part of the strength, and a good horse is the key to victory!Knowing that his own horse is not as good as others' horses, naturally he will not go up and lose face!
The archery competition also attracts many herdsmen.Those with superb skills can hit a hundred shots and win applause from the audience.

The outcome of the archery competition is judged by the number of hits, because archery is held against more than two archers. After the opponent is eliminated, the result cannot be carried forward to the next round!

Once two people hit the target the same number of times, it is like a penalty kick in a football game. The two shooters keep shooting until one misses.

These games, although there is only one winner in the end, but there are several games every day, and they are all confrontational, and the winner of each game is determined.

The finals of each event will be held staggered, so that the audience participating in the conference can enjoy the most exciting competition in each event.

The "Nadam" conference is still a material fair.He Yuanying pretended to be a businessman, so she had to show some of her own things to trade with the herdsmen.

In addition to fur products, agricultural and sideline products and various daily necessities, there are also diets with grassland characteristics, such as beef and mutton and their smoked and dried products, cheese, dried milk, butter, milk lumps, milk tofu, and yogurt.

This "Nadam" conference was held for ten days because of the large number of participants.During these days, He Yuanying also met many herdsmen friends.

As soon as the meeting was over, He Yuanying followed the intuition in her heart, led by her friend, and went upstream along the Daotang River, heading towards Riyue Mountain.

There are many legends about Daotanghe, and there are different opinions.But what most people agree with is still related to the story that the Dragon King of the East China Sea sent his youngest daughter to create the West Sea.

The little princess of the Dragon King of the East China Sea needed [-] rivers to create the West Sea. Because of the interference of the old demon from Montenegro, she poured water into the [-] rivers with difficulty.

When the last river was connected, the little princess had already been injured by the old black mountain demon, so she was unable to do what she wanted, so she hurriedly brought a river from Riyue Mountain in the east.

After the river was drawn, the little princess was exhausted. Although there were still Haixin Mountain and three small islands that had not been cleaned up, she could only escape along the river.

Because the little princess did not fulfill the mission of the Dragon King of the East China Sea well, she couldn't help but shed sad tears and fell into the river.

The dragon's tears are not trivial, and they turned into torrential water in an instant, pouring backwards to the upper reaches of the river, so the river is called the Daotang River by the locals.

Regarding Daotanghe, every legend adds a bit of mystery to it.And when He Yuanying followed the Daotang River to Riyue Mountain, he finally understood the meaning of the Daotang River itself.The water of Daotang River flows from east to west from Riyue Mountain until it enters the West Sea.

Most of the riverbed of the Daotang River is flat, and the bottom of the river is covered with pebbles of different sizes. The water flows calmly and gently, with no waves, and occasionally a snow-white splash appears, which seems to have all kinds of tenderness.
