Soon, under the powerful dps of the little guys, Princess Yalki's blood volume dropped to 88% again, and the white light flickered again.
This time, the mages moved very quickly.
With a quick swipe, Princess Yalki¡¯s health will be restored again!
Zhuoer exclaimed with joy: "OK! It seems that the mage can counterattack! Pay attention this time! Try again!"
"It's over!" Seeing that Princess Ya'erki's healing spell was successfully countered by the magicians, others were also happy. If the ruguo mages could not successfully counter it, n¨¤me would have to rely on thieves. Just look at Princess Ya'erki's From the mass fear technique, you can imagine how troublesome this would be for ruguo!
So, good luck this time!
Soon, Princess Yalki used a healing spell again, and was successfully countered by the mage again, which made the entire team confirm that Princess Yalki's healing spell could be interrupted by mages." "Please search Gone with the Wind. Astronomy, novels are better and updated faster!.
n¨¤me, continue to fight? Wrong, wrong, wrong! It's a group annihilation!
Who said that after the recent attempt, the legal professional yijing in the team could no longer hold up! Look at the legal professions that have very little mana left, and look at Princess Yalki who still has 61% of her health left. Let¡¯s destroy the group honestly! There is no other way!
bijing, it is very difficult for them to open up the wasteland for Princess Yalki, Lord Cree and Vim. bijing, equipment, equipment, the equipment of the elite group of the Scarlet Cross Guild is indeed good, but unfortunately, sometimes they will encounter strange drops. This As a result, at least one-third of the team members have graduated from T2.
And this is also the fundamental reason why Zall is confident to fill the team with troubles for a month. It¡¯s just that the style of play is probably delayed for a few weeks at most, but ruguo is an equipment, hmm, then it can only depend on Zall¡¯s hand. quack!
After running the corpse again, everyone sat on the floor to recover.
While eating and drinking, Zhuoer said: "In the shihou we were fighting just now, Princess Yalki showed up with a new skill, rapid healing. However, this is meyoushime, bijing, and the mage's spell counterattack can interrupt it. In this case, the mage will be asked to Please pay special attention to what we are fighting!"
Mao Maoyu said: "For a mage, this is nothing. Boss, the real problem is that our equipment seems to be quite different!"
Zhuoer smiled and said: "Even if there is a lot of difference, you have to keep trying! bijing. There are three bosses here. Even if we can't kill three bosses, we have to try to kill one or two of them, right?"
"Yes, yes!" the poor man said with a bad smile: "Maybe we can get a few pieces of equipment first!"
Zhuoer laughed and said, "I'm poor, so just dream! Glass shards won't cause this kind of bug!"
The poor man Chou continued to smile evilly and said: "Boss, maybe someone made this bug?"
??Drow shook his head slightly and said: "Okay, everyone has recovered, let's start buffing, don't talk about anything else. Let's kill Princess Yalki first!"
¡°Zhid¨¤o~~~¡± the little guys protracted their voices.
They also know that being poor and ugly is just nonsense, and it can only be nonsense. So I just laughed and let it go.
Luo Wei also smiled, and then directly prepared to attack the boss, saying: "Everyone, prepare, five, four, three. Two, one! Let's start!"
As Rowe rushed out, Salia, who was in position, and the arrow that pierced the heart also fell on Lord Cree and his son Wim.
While Luo Wei was dragging Princess Yalki's figure towards the palace, Sa Ruo and Warrior's Lament also pulled the boss that Ziji needed to fight, and immediately leaned against the wall!
at the same time. The treatment of each t also followed immediately.
"Hey, Jack, the protective fear barrier on Serena must be maintained! At the same time, increase his blood volume!"
"Boss, don't worry!" The dwarf priests nodded.
"Remote DPS can output now. Don't fight too fast at the beginning! Don't overdo it! Mages, be careful to interrupt Princess Ya'erki's quick treatment!" Drow looked at Princess Ya'erki who had five layers of sundering armor hung on her body. , Drow also let the remote DPS start outputting.
¡°Mingb¨¢i!¡±
"Okay!" The mages also nodded.
The remote DPS also began to output slowly, and Princess Yalki's health began to decrease.
The situation with Lord Cree and Wim is also very good. Bijing, the skills of these two bosses are not too troublesome to look at alone, so they are quite easy to deal with.
Wim was pulled against the wall by the warrior's lament, while Casblanca was doing output with other melee dpsyiy¨¤ng behind the boss., ready to fill in at any time.
The situation on Lord Cree's side is also the same. Sa Ruodian is not able to do anything, but his head is full of venom arrows flying around. Every time, more than ten people are sprayed by the group poison arrows. For the time being, these little guys There is no way to reduce the trouble of this group of poison arrows, and the pressure on the healers will continue for some time.
Lord Kerry's positioning is easy to say, and troublesome to say the least. It's not difficult to be difficult to master. If Lord Kerry has the correct positioning and playing style, it will probably be a bit of a struggle.
Princess Yalki¡¯s two skills have been seen by the team, and the response method has also come out, and it is a response method that strives for. The only difference between players and this kind of boss is just the jingy¨¤n of running in.
After getting used to it, the boss will be very easy to push.
This is the case with Princess Yalki in front of her.
Princess Yalki's mass fear spell was severely restricted by the dwarf priests. As for quick treatment, the mages were not cheating. They counterattacked each spell and forced Princess Yalki to even add a quick treatment.
This makes everyone in the remote profession a little excited, especially the DPS players, who can play hard! Therefore, under the pouring of all the long-range DPS, Princess Yaerji's blood volume dropped rapidly!
Looking at the amount of blood dropped, the little guys were a little excited, because this is a boss fight!
Wait a minute, you won¡¯t think so!
"Boom!"
Even though Princess Yarki¡¯s mass fear spell is restricted by three protective fear barriers of the dwarf priest, the skills that need to be thrown will not stop! But, again, since Yijing has a protective fear barrier, it's useless if you throw a group fear spell! Bijing, there is no one else but Luo Wei within thirty yards. It just so happened that Luo Wei had a protective fear barrier on his body!
Isn¡¯t this just a waste?
Seventy-seven percent!
Forty-nine percent!
Twenty-one percent!
Eleven percent!
With the amount of blood dropped by Princess Yalki, everyone became excited.
The poor Chou of the family stabbed Wim while shouting: "Boss, it looks like Princess Yalki has a new trick!"
"Yes, yes! I'm about to die!" Maomaoyu was also very excited.
But Zhuoer said: "We'll wait until Princess Ya'erki dies! As a princess of the Ahn'Qiraj Empire, she doesn't have any new tricks, so be vigilant!"
"Hey, boss, we know it!" The little guys just said this, and their hearts were alert. The bijing must despise the enemy strategically, and pay attention to the enemy tactically! They were really worried about the boat capsizing in the gutter.
In fact, they seemed to be wrong. Princess Yalki's health quickly reached the bottom. Everyone's hearts were relieved as Princess Yalki finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was something wrong with her. .
But I haven¡¯t finished breathing yet, here comes the problem!
"I'll kill you! This is Shime!" The little guys looked at Princess Yalki after she died. Everyone was dumbfounded by the little bugs that appeared in Tur¨¢n.
Because, these bugs rushed into the remote group in one go, directly killing the remote group.
"Xiaowei! The crowd is laughing! Hold on! Others, please save their lives!" Zhuoer shouted.
"Second brother! I'm pulling!" Luo Wei was also sweating with anxiety. He really didn't expect that so many little bugs would appear after Princess Yalki died. Although he pulled hard, there were still Many of them can't be held back.
Luo Wei was shocked, and everyone else was no exception. Many treatments are caused by being stunned and unable to dodge, and then they are bitten to the ground!
Treatment has arrived. How is everyone else doing? ? Soon, everyone fell to the ground.
¡°Second brother~~~¡± Luo Wei pursed his lips and said a little aggrieved, ¡°I tried very hard to hold him back just now!¡±
"I saw it!" Drow shook his head slightly and said, "I don't blame you! The bijing healers don't have much mana anymore, and they were about to be wiped out. But it's okay, we know that Princess Yalki is here After dying, a lot of little bugs will be summoned, and oh, by the way, there will be no equipment to get. It¡¯s a good harvest!¡±
"Hey!" Others sighed.
Zhuoer waved his hand and said simply: "Okay, we'll come back again!"
"Um!"
So, everyone ran away from the body again!
While running, Sa Ruo and the warrior's lament also said one thing, which made the others have black lines on their heads.
"shime? Just after Princess Yalki died, Lord Cree and Wim's blood volume was restored to full?" Drow shouted.
"Yes, the recovery is full!" The two nodded with a wry smile.
"I'm dizzy!" Others also started to feel dizzy.
ruguo Lord Cree and Wim¡¯s blood volume has just recovered after the death of Princess Yalki. Didn¡¯t n¨¤me say that beating them at the beginning was not in vain?
The poor man said with a wry smile: "I know this is hard to believe, but the recovery is indeed full! I guess our melee DPS can only attack Princess Yalki first, and Wim's fight will be in vain. And the dps is also wasted!¡±
‡å~~~
Maomaoyu rubbed his forehead and murmured: "Oh my God! How powerful are these bugs? Didn't they say that Princess Yalki and Lord Cree are very weak?"
"That was just a casual remark about the title," Drow shook his head slightly and said, "Moreover, the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj is a copy behind the Black Wing Lair, so it must be very difficult! Okay, let's continue. Got it!"
"OK!"
Zhuoer added: "This time the melee DPS also came to fight Princess Yalki. Anyway, it is useful to fight Wim! Even if there is a group fear spell, it can only cause damage! Moreover, it can also help the mages to interrupt the rapid attack." treat!"
"Hid¨¤o!" The melee DPS were helpless, but there was nothing they could do.
So, the battle will begin again soon!
Luo Wei counts down, Salia and One Arrow Pierce the Heart are happy, Sa Ruo and the Warrior's Lament take on the boss.
The three bosses are in place!
All the dps began to pour towards Princess Yalki! Everyone played well this time, and Princess Yalki's health dropped quickly, reaching close to 50% in a short while.
But then the problem came!
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡ Death is inevitable. In the past, everyone just died without resurrecting, but now everyone is tired of lying on the floor.
A few dead guys applied to run corpses into the dungeon.
Zall thought for a while and simply agreed. It is always good to have one more DPS in bijing, but! The problem arises here!
The boss who was fighting well turned around and returned to his position, and his blood volume instantly returned to full. Then they entered the battle at the same time, swallowing up the stunned Sa Ruo, Warrior's Lament and a few others in one go, and then rushed directly into the dumb group.
Well, the consequencesneed to mention the consequences?
Everyone was lying on the ground.
And then there was collective silence.
??Drow sighed and said, "Come on, it seems we can't get rid of the corpses in this battle!"
"But couldn't Scram, the prophet just now, be able to run away?" the blue-purple sky muttered. He was the one who suggested running a dungeon just now, which led to the tragedy in front of him.
"Maybe it's a setting problem!" Zhuoer waved his hand and said, "Forget it, we'll come back again!"
"Yes~~~" the little guys continued to curl their lips, and then ran away from the body. Prepare to start monsters again.
The next battle was spent in constant running to revive corpses, running to revive corpses.
The little shihou bug that bijing Princess Yalki died is actually not too difficult to deal with. The warriors taunted the group in time, and the legal DPS can just AOE them. The problem is that after that, according to the drow plan, they will push their son Wim , but his son Wim is not easy to mess with. A single charge will make the soldiers jump. The whole scene was a mess.
In addition, Lord Cree¡¯s wife died, so the group poison arrows were fired even more happily. Well, the therapists can¡¯t hold it any longer~~~~
Destroy the group directly!
Seeing that Wim¡¯s health could only drop to 30% at most, everyone sighed helplessly. Equipment, equipment is the way to go! Why!
Looking at the boss who was absolutely unbeatable, the drow "very calmly" chose to end the activities in the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj. Well, then go to Blackwing Lair together to find a sense of superiority!
In response, the little guys from the elite group raised their hands to welcome him, cough cough!
Since zhid¨¤oziji¡¯s equipment is insufficient, the next few days will be difficult. The focus of the Scarlet Cross Guild is naturally to farm equipment. Well, in fact, in the bottom of the drow's heart, it is best not to open up the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj in the first place. Bijing is too difficult, although the Prophet Skram was killed by them. , but the drow all knew that they were lucky. If the prophet Scram hadn't been sending the real and fake clones together, they wouldn't have been able to survive!
So, the success of the old prophet Scram is actually a bit of a fluke.Princess Lord Cree and Wim have completely demonstrated this, that is, luck is not allowed!
Since there is no chance of luck, if n¨¦nggou really wants to pass, n¨¤me, the only thing left is to work hard to improve Ziji's strength. Coupled with the words of his boss, a group of people went directly to other dif¨¡ng to find a sense of superiority and buy equipment at the same time. went.
As for the other guilds that are at odds with Ahn'Qiraj, Drow said they have no idea.
?????????????????????????????????????????Two weeks have passed since Drow Murphy once again found his original activity. He still first completed the copy of Rongyi to accumulate equipment, and finally had various fights with the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj!
In the middle, Prophet Scram's land reclamation was considered a success. It took two or three hours to destroy the group at one time, and it took a whole night to destroy the group at one time. This made the little guys even more cautious about Ziji's strength.
Of course, Lord Cree and Wim, the Princess of Yalki, still want everyone to die. N¨¦nggou can kill Princess Yalki but cannot kill his son Wim. Even if he only has the last 8% of his health left, he will not be able to kill him. Still fell down!
Hey, we still don¡¯t have enough equipment!
So, everyone continued to brush their equipment!
In this half-month period, a server in the United States also managed to open Ahn'Qiraj. Naturally, the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj caused them a lot of trouble.
The Temple of Ahn'Qiraj was destroyed so badly by them. It is said that it is still stuck with the old prophet Scram!
And this also made the players in the national server laugh and gloat.
You know, foreign servers are very dissatisfied with the Scarlet Cross Guild n¨¦nggou taking the first place! bijing, Murphy's status as a profiteer helped them a lot, otherwise it would have been done by meyoun¨¤merongyi.
??In fact. Is it a bug?
The most important thing is that the Scarlet Cross Guild did not go smoothly this time. The ruins of Ahn'Qiraj are just copies of the same level as Zul'Gurub. The Temple of Ahn'Qiraj is the target that those people are eyeing.
They have all disliked the Scarlet Cross Guild for a long time.
"But this is the only guild that has just opened up. The Scarlet Cross Guild actually established the first prophet, Scram, on the first night, and then failed to get the second one in the next half month?"
cut. As expected, these Chinese people are not very good, let¡¯s just look at them~~~~
After the US server opened its doors, the ruins of Ahn'Qiraj were quickly completed. Players in the national server said they didn't care about this. The Scarlet Cross Guild's strategy guide had been released. If they still couldn't figure it out, they should find a piece of tofu. Killed, hmm. You really have the ability to go to the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj!
Then, the US server had nothing to say for ten days! Because they can't even get past the old prophet Scram, haha!
The Scarlet Cross Guild doesn't care about this matter at all. To be precise, Drow Murphy doesn't care about this matter at all. There is someone who cares about it. If they hadn't suppressed it, they might not have found Shaltula. He's about to be killed!
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? How many people still remember that there is a passage on the left that leads to Princess Yalki, Lord Cree and Vim? Um? To know, Shartula is extremely difficult as the Three Treasures. Ha ha!
Of course, some people have noticed it, but after more than a year of training from Zhuoer Murphy, these little guys have finally learned that there are some things that should be known to you, and some things that should not be known to you, even if you know them, treat them as not known. . Since the boss and sister-in-law didn't say anything about shime, they naturally shut up and continued to kill them in front of Princess Yalki, Lord Cree and Wim.
By the way, have you ever thought about whether you were deceived by your boss and sister-in-law?
¡I¡¯ve thought about it, but can I say it? Will it be dealt with? or. Are you going to tell me?
(The author retreated, no one wants to be remembered by these two)
Ahem, the above topic is brought back. As the shiji¨¡n passed, the Scarlet Cross Guild continued to work hard to upgrade equipment, and continued to work hard to fight with Princess Yalki, Lord Cree and Wim. Just when the little guys started to get impatient, The next holiday of World of Warcraft has arrived.
Harvest Festival.
Regarding this festival, the little ones were very stunned because they had celebrated this festival once.
"Ah! Has it been a year since Yijin?" the little ones said in surprise.
"Yes! It's been a year!" Zhuoer sighed.
??????????? One year, five months and four days to be exact.
On April 11th last year, he returned to his reading life, eight years ago!
Zhuoer thought about it and turned to look at Murphy. Murphy also looked at Zhuoer with a gentle smile. The two looked at each other and smiled, showing an incomparable understanding.
 "That's it!" Chou Tur¨¢n, a poor man, said a little disappointed: "It turns out to be a festival celebrated by Yi Jing!"
Ping Bo asked curiously: "My family is poor, and Shime is actually a festival celebrated in Yijin! Wouldn't it be better to celebrate the Harvest Festival?"
The poor man Chou shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's not bad, I'm just a little tired of being wiped out recently. I'm going to let my sister-in-law tell some stories!"
The others listened silently, and then shouted in unison: "Sister-in-law, tell me a story!"
They are also annoyed by the ugly and annoying annihilation of the poor family, but they are all in love. Now there is no special reason, so it is best not to bother my sister-in-law. Now that someone has come forward, it is always okay to make some noise, right?
Unfortunately
"M¨¦iyou!" Murphy said unceremoniously, "I told the story of the Harvest Festival last year! Do you want to hear the story again?"
The little ones didn¡¯t give up and asked: ¡°Sister-in-law, have you told all the stories? About the Harvest Festival?¡±
"Of course!" Murphy nodded and said, "I always finish my stories!"
"That's weird!" Chou, a poor family member, muttered very smoothly: "I'll finish the story of "The Well of Eternity"." Since Yi Jing has started to provoke his sister-in-law, even if Ziji is to be dealt with, he still has to get the benefits. Besides, therefore, the poor and ugly family continued to entangle themselves.
Murphy felt weak after hearing this, and said: "You can wait a few days before watching, don't worry!"
Youqing Lily hummed and said, "But haven't Sister Fei'er, Xiao Wei, Big Brother, and Kong Ming all seen it? Is the differential treatment so powerful?"
Murphy felt even more helpless when he heard it, and asked: "How did you find out?"
"Of course it was Serena who said it!" The others unceremoniously betrayed a certain little guy who was staring. These little guys are not kind!
Murphy turned to look at Lowe and shook his head slightly.
In ts, the poor and ugly family is still entangled, "Sister-in-law. Good sister-in-law, since you have told Xiaowei, n¨¤me, tell us too!"
Murphy was silent for a moment and said, "No!" The rules cannot be broken.
"But" The little guys said with a sad face, "Sister-in-law" They also knew that in this situation, Murphy is not easy to talk to, and if you insist on it, it will only make Murphy bite his mouth harder. When listening to stories, you need to learn to act cute.
Others in ts also began to murmur and beg.
Murphy was filled with dark clues. Zhuoer couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
It seems that these little guys have seen through Murphy's temperament. If they beg like this, even if Murphy refuses to change his story, he will provide them with some other stories to tell.
Sure enough, Murphy, who was listening to TS, thought for a long time and said, "I will never tell you the follow-up to "The Well of Eternity." Otherwise, she would have waited to read all the novels. Murphy would not do that. It¡¯s so hard to think about. "But I can tell you something else."
"For example?" The little guys looked at their sister-in-law and relaxed. There is no need to bother with "The Well of Eternity". As Murphy said, they will just watch it later. The reason why they are bothering their sister-in-law is just to hear the story!
Murphy laughed and said, "For example, how about the Harvest Festival?"
The little guys were stunned when they heard this: "Sister-in-law, you don't want to repeat last year's story, do you? This is an old meal with a new twist"
Murphy smiled and said: "Of course it's not something new. Last year's event was about the Harvest Festival in World of Warcraft. This time, can we talk about the customs of various places in the world?"
The little ones listened in silence, and after a moment they said, "Sister-in-law, do you have no stories to tell?" They were really not interested in harvest festival customs from all over the world.
Murphy thought for a moment and then smiled: "N¨¤me. The story of the Mid-Autumn Festival? It just so happens that m¨£sh¨¤ng is celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival!" Today is September 16th, which is also August 13th. Isn't it the m¨£sh¨¤ng who is celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival? ?
The little guys became even more powerless, "Sister-in-law, let's all know the legend of Chang'e flying to the moon!" The little boy just listened. Did sister-in-law fool them as children?
Murphy said simply: "Instead of talking about legends, how about we talk about historical allusions?"
"Historical allusion?" The little guys asked slightly.
Murphy saw that the little guys accepted the proposal, and he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The Mid-Autumn Festival, one of the traditional Chinese festivals, falls on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar every year. Legend has it that it commemorates Chang'e's flight to the moon. August is The second month of autumn was called Zhongqiu in ancient times. Because it is in autumn and in August, it is called Mid-Autumn Festival among the people. It is also called Qiuxi, August Festival, August Half, Moon Eve, and Moon Festival. Because the moon is full on this day, it symbolizes reunion.??Also known as the Reunion Festival. "
"Yeah, yeah, historical allusions, historical allusions!" the little guys nodded fiercely and urged.
Zhuo Er shook his head slightly and said, "It would be great if the teachers at school urged you like this!"
The little guys are so happy.
Murphy also smiled and said: "The word 'Mid-Autumn Festival' was first seen in "Zhou Rites". According to the ancient Chinese calendar, there are four seasons in a year, and each season is three months, which are called Meng Yue, Zhong Yue, There are three parts to the season and the moon, so the second month of autumn is called Zhongqiu, and because the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar falls in mid-August, it is called the 'Mid-Autumn Festival'. It was not until the early years of the Tang Dynasty that the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed festival. "New Book of Tang" "Volume 15, Chapter 5, Rites and Music Five" records that "in the Spring and Mid-Autumn Festival, the memorial ceremony was dedicated to King Wenxuan and King Wucheng", and "in the 19th year of Kaiyuan, the Taigong Shangfu Temple was built to retain the marquis Zhang Liangpei. In the Mid-Spring Festival "Wu sacrifices were made on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the system of animal sacrifices and music was as written." According to historical records, the festival of ancient emperors offering sacrifices to the moon was on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, which happened to be in the middle of the third autumn, hence the name "Mid-Autumn Festival"; Because this festival falls in August in autumn, it is also called the 'Autumn Festival', 'August Festival', 'August Meeting', and 'Mid-Autumn Festival'; it also has beliefs and related customs and activities to pray for reunion, so it is also called the 'Reunion Festival' ', 'Daughter's Day'. Because the main activities of the Mid-Autumn Festival are all around the 'moon' jinh¨¢ng, it is also commonly known as 'Moon Festival', 'Moon Eve', 'Moon Chasing Festival', 'Moon Playing Festival', and 'Moon Worshiping Festival'. Festival'; In the Tang Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival was also called the 'Duanzheng Month'. The popularity of the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Song Dynasty, and by the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was as famous as New Year's Day. It became one of the major festivals in our country. Regarding the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival, There are roughly three types: originating from the ancient worship of the moon, the custom of singing and dancing under the moon to find a mate, and the ancient custom of worshiping the earth god in the autumn newspaper."
"Hehe! I know the custom of worshiping the moon!" Someone laughed.
Murphy also smiled and said: "Now let me talk about the origin of the Mid-Autumn Festival. The most popular Mid-Autumn Festival delicacy is moon cakes. There are many theories about its origin. One is the late Yuan Dynasty. Zhang Shicheng, the leader of the anti-Yuan uprising in Taizhou, Jiangsu, also said It was Liu Bowen, Zhu Yuanzhang's counselor, who took advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival when people gave each other round cakes and put a note in the cakes saying "Kill the Tatars on the night of August 15th". When everyone saw the note in the cakes, they passed it on to ten, and passed it on to hundreds, as promised on this day. The 'Tatars' who did all kinds of evil together at night, oh. Tatar means Yuan Bing. After that, every family celebrated the victory of the uprising by eating cakes, and officially called the round cakes of the Mid-Autumn Festival moon cakes. In a long historical period, even in At the end of the last century, many mooncakes still had a small piece of paper attached to them! Unfortunately, the small piece of paper has disappeared from the mooncakes produced in recent years, and the 'cultural code' passed down from generation to generation contained in the mooncakes has disappeared."
"Ah, I have heard this story before." Someone suddenly understood. But there are also people who don¡¯t know, of course. Maybe he forgot, but the little guys listened with interest and urged Murphy to continue. Generally speaking, Murphy must have a lot of such historical allusions.
It was just as they expected. Murphy continued: "Another theory is that in the early years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, general Xu Da captured Beijing, the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, where the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty were entrenched. The news of the success reached Nanjing, the capital, and Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, who was playing chess, was ecstatic. That is to say, the edict Everyone celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival, and rewards the subjects with mooncakes that conveyed the message during the uprising against the Yuan Dynasty. From then on, mooncakes became the 'legal' food during the Mid-Autumn Festival and must be eaten."
The poor man said with an ugly smile: "This statement is actually the same story just now, it's just that the reward is given by a different person!"
"Haha, almost!" Murphy said with a smile: "Mooncakes originally originated as a food for the Tang Dynasty army to celebrate victory. During the reign of Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, General Li Jing conquered the Turks by relying on mooncakes to convey hidden messages. He returned in triumph on August 15th. Since then, eating Moon cakes have become an annual custom. At that time, some Turpan people doing business offered cakes to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to celebrate his victory. The great ancestor Li Yuan took the gorgeous cake box, took out the round cakes, pointed to the bright moon in the sky with a smile and said: 'You should invite toads with Hu cakes.'" said After that, the cakes were distributed to the ministers to eat together. The word "mooncake" already existed in Wu Zimu's "Mengliang Lu" of the Southern Song Dynasty, but the description of admiring the moon and eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival was only published in the "West Lake Tour Zhihui" of the Ming Dynasty. There is a record: 'August 15th is called the Mid-Autumn Festival, and people use mooncakes as gifts to express reunion.' By the Qing Dynasty, there were more records about mooncakes, and the production became more and more sophisticated."
"Yeah, yeah." This was the first time the little guys heard what Murphy said, and they naturally nodded with a smile.
Murphy continued: "Eat moon cakes to show 'reunion'. Moon cakes, also called Hu cakes, palace cakes, moon cakes, harvest cakes, reunion cakes, etc., are offerings to worship the moon god during the Mid-Autumn Festival in ancient times. According to legend, in ancient my country, emperors There is a ritual system of worshiping the sun in spring and worshiping the moon in autumn. Among the people, every August Mid-Autumn Festival, there is also the custom of worshiping or worshiping the moon. 'August and the fifteenth month are full, and the Mid-Autumn moon cakes are fragrant and sweet', this famous saying It tells the custom of eating mooncakes by urban and rural people on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Mooncakes were originally used as offerings to the moon god. Later, people gradually regarded appreciating the moon and tasting mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival as a symbol of family reunion. Gradually, mooncakes also It became a holiday?A must-have gift. "
"Oh," the poor man Chou asked again, "Sister-in-law, is there anything else?"
Murphy added: "Mooncakes are round, and the dynasty that was given the meaning of reunion was the Ming Dynasty. Liu Tong's "The Scenery of the Imperial Capital" said: "On August 15th, when worshiping the moon, the fruit cake must be round." Tian Rucheng's " "West Lake Tour Zhiyu" said: "August 15th is called the Mid-Autumn Festival, and people also send mooncakes to each other to take the meaning of reunion." Shen Bang also recorded the grand occasion of making mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing in the Ming Dynasty in "Wanshu Miscellaneous Notes": People all make mooncakes for each other, varying in size, and call them mooncakes. In the shops, fruit is used as filling, and the name is strange. One cake is worth hundreds of dollars. The ingenious cake-making workers made surprising innovations, and the mooncakes were made Various patterns are described in Peng Yunzhang's "Ode to the Local Winds of Youzhou": "The moon palace talisman is painted as a jade rabbit on the kiln terrace; the moon palace cake is made into a silver toad and purple mansion shadow. A pair of toads and rabbits fill the world, regretting the year that Chang'e stole the medicine; Running into Guanghan but not returning, the jade pestle is stationed in Danyan with empty labor. In the Qing Dynasty, eating mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival has become a common custom, and the production skills are getting higher and higher. Yuan Mei, a Qing Dynasty man, introduced in "Suiyuan Food List": 'Puff-skin mooncakes are stuffed with pine nuts, walnut kernels, melon seeds, rock sugar, and lard. They taste sweet, fragrant and pine-soft, which is very unusual.' Qianmen Zhimizhai is the first to make mooncakes in Beijing. Looking at the whole country, five flavor series have been formed, namely Beijing, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Guangzhou and Chaozhou. Many dif¨¡ng folk customs have also been produced around the Mid-Autumn Festival to worship and appreciate the moon, such as the "Bu Zhuangyuan" in Jiangnan: cut the moon cake into three large, medium and small pieces. , stacked together. The largest one is placed on the bottom, which is the 'number one'; the medium one is placed in the middle, which is the 'second place'; the smallest one is on top, which is the 'third flower'. Then the whole family rolls dice, and whoever has the most numbers is the winner. The No. 1 winner eats big chunks; the No. 2 winner and No. 2 winner play games for fun. Today, the custom of playing under the moon is far from the old days. But banquets to admire the moon are still very popular. People drink wine to celebrate the wonderful life. Or I wish my relatives far away to be healthy and happy, and to share the beauty of the moon with my family thousands of miles away."
"Wow, sister-in-law, are there any more?" the little guys said in surprise.
"Of course," Murphy said, looking at the little guys who were happy to listen. Naturally, I am willing to say more so that I can let go of the matter about "The Well of Eternity". Then he said: "Let me talk about the customs of various places. The first is the Mid-Autumn Festival and moon worship.
It is a very ancient custom in our country. According to historical records, as early as the Zhou Dynasty, ancient emperors had the custom of worshiping the sun at the spring equinox, the earth at the summer solstice, the moon at the autumnal equinox, and the sky at the winter solstice. The places where they worship are called the Temple of the Sun, the Temple of the Earth, the Temple of the Moon, and the Temple of Heaven. It is divided into four directions: southeast, northwest and northwest. The Moon Altar in Beijing is where emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties worshiped the moon. "Book of Rites" records: "The Emperor rises to the sun in spring and falls to the moon in autumn." As the sun rises, the moon rises. ¡¯ It¡¯s the eve of the eclipse moon here. It refers to worshiping the moon at night. This custom was not only pursued by the court and upper-class nobles, but also gradually affected the people with the development of society. "
"Huh? Ah, it turns out that worshiping the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival came from the royal family!" the little guys said in surprise.
"Haha. Yes!" Murphy said with a smile: "The custom of moon appreciation also comes from worshiping the moon, but the serious sacrifice has turned into a relaxed entertainment. The folk Mid-Autumn Festival moon appreciation activity dates back to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but it has not become a custom. In the Tang Dynasty, admiring and playing with the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival was quite popular, and many poets included poems praising the moon in their famous works. By the Song Dynasty, a Mid-Autumn folk festival centered on moon-appreciating activities had been formed, and it was officially designated as the Mid-Autumn Festival. . Different from the people in the Tang Dynasty, the people in the Song Dynasty were more sentimental about the moon when appreciating the moon. They often used the waxing and waning of clouds and sunshine to describe human emotions. Even on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the clear light of the bright moon could not hide the sadness of the people in the Song Dynasty. But for the people in the Song Dynasty, Speaking of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is another form of the Mid-Autumn Festival, that is, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of secular joy. Tokyo Menghualu said: "Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, all shops sell new wine, noble families decorate their tables and pavilions, and private families compete for restaurants to play in the moonlight." "The music and music are heard thousands of miles away, and we sit and play until dawn." The Mid-Autumn Festival in the Song Dynasty was a sleepless night. The night market was open all night long, and people were enjoying the moon all the time."
"Um."
Murphy smiled and said: "Speaking of worshiping the moon during the Mid-Autumn Festival, let me talk about the folk worship of the moon!"
¡°Yeah, yeah, yeah.¡±
Murphy continued: "It is said that the ugly girl Wu Yan of the ancient Qi State worshiped the moon devoutly when she was a child. When she grew up, she entered the palace with outstanding moral character, but was not favored. She admired the moon on August 15th of a certain year, and the emperor saw her in the moonlight. She felt that she was beautiful and outstanding, so she later made her the queen, and worshiping the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival came from this. Chang'e was famous for her beauty in the middle of the month, so the girl worshiped the moon and wished that she would look like Chang'e and have a face like the bright moon. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, due to the times, In gu¨¡nxi, the realistic utilitarian factors in social life are prominent, the secular interest in festivals becomes more and more intense during the year, the lyrical and mythological literati traditions centered on "moon appreciation" weaken, and the utilitarian worship, prayer and secular Emotions and wishes constitute the main form of the Mid-Autumn Festival customs of ordinary people. Therefore, 'folk worshiping the moon' has become people's desire for reunion, happiness and happiness; they use the moon to express their feelings."
"Oh, that's it!" the little guys murmured.
Murphy said in more detail: "In ancient times, there was the custom of 'autumn twilight and evening moon'."On the lunar month, people worship the moon god. Set up a large incense table and place mooncakes, watermelons, apples, dates, plums, grapes and other offerings. Mooncakes and watermelons are absolutely indispensable. The watermelon should also be cut into lotus shapes. Under the moon, the moon statue is placed in the direction of the moon, with red candles burning high. The whole family worships the moon in turn, and then the housewife cuts the reunion moon cakes. The person who cuts the food must calculate in advance how many people in the family there are. Those who are at home and those who are out of town must be counted together. They cannot cut too much or too little, and the size must be consistent. "
Some of the little ones shouted, "This is how our family celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Murphy laughed and said, "Really?" (To be continued.)
