Every year at the end of autumn, there is a "fire lighting ceremony" at the Shenjia Racecourse.
The rules passed down from three generations follow the solar terms. It is said that the fire is to honor ancestors, remove darkness, and fix winter and hide away. Some people also whisper that the fire is burned to show the people who are "ridden over". There are three pillars of incense, three horses, and the palm girl must be present.
Shen Zhi stood by the corridor at the end of the stable, without a hat, his black hair tucked behind his ears, and the wind made his cheeks turn white. She didn't move, looking straight at the wooden jar in the middle of the field. The jar is not high and is made of old locust wood. In the middle are piles of red cloth, yellow talismans, and six reins, arranged neatly, with not one missing.
