"Sister-in-law, teach me!"
Liu Zheng looked at Pei Yanran's appearance and couldn't help but smile bitterly and clasped his fists.
Pei Yanran felt quite proud now.
too difficult!
It is really difficult to find some sense of presence in front of the young master Qin Changfeng! She was the most talented woman in Shu, and for the first time, she felt that her IQ was being ruthlessly suppressed. At this time, she finally found some ground. She coughed deliberately, drank a cup of tea, and said calmly: "Young master, you know that since the last Zimo was expelled from Liangshan, these black Yi family members have supported a big Bimo." ?”
Liu Zheng was stunned when he heard it, and made a gesture that he was willing to hear the details.
Pei Yanran said slowly.
Liangshan, in Liu Zheng's perception, is basically full of Yi people. It can be said that even after the liberation of later generations, Liangshan was basically like this. In the very representative places of Liangshan, Meigu and Zhaojue, Yi people account for 97% of the population. Here, the only Han people in the township are village cadres...
One can imagine.
In this era, the Yi people almost occupied Liangshan - of course, there were many other ethnic minorities, but we will ignore them here.
The religious beliefs in Liangshan do not have specific religious names. Because they have a kind of "ancestor worship type" belief since ancient times.
The ancestor worship of the Yi ancestors is based on the animistic view, the three-soul view and the ancestral world view of the Yi ancestors. The ancestors of the Yi people believe that all natural objects and natural phenomena have a mysterious attribute, that is, the existence of gods.
We won’t go into details about this.
Let’s talk about religious beliefs first.
When Liu Zheng came to this world, he rarely had contact with or understood this aspect. Except when I was in Loulan in the Western Region, I had been exposed to Zoroastrianism and Islam.
But in ancient times, when scientific knowledge was not developed enough, religious belief was actually a topic that was difficult to get around.
So.
If you have religious beliefs, there must always be a carrier to carry your beliefs.
The Liangshan Yi people refer to the Yi people who call themselves "Nuosu" and have a population of nearly three million. The Liangshan Yi people have a strong concept of ghosts and gods and a complete belief system.
At this time, the carrier will come out.
Regarding faith, the Yi people have two types of full-time clergy.
They are Bimo and Suni respectively.
Suni "cures diseases and saves people" by driving away ghosts and ghosts through the god Asa possessing it. Bimo uses scriptures and rituals to drive away ghosts and gods that cause illness.
It can be seen from this that Suni belongs to the type of goddess and wizard.
The level of Bimo should be higher, similar to the messenger of God, that is, a priest.
Among the five levels of Yi society: "Zi", "Mo", "Bi", "Ge" and "Zhuo", Bimo's status is also in the third place.
at this time.
Here comes the point.
To what extent will Bimo's status among the Yi people reach what level with historical changes? In real history, during the Tang and Song Dynasties and before, Bimo served as chief and sacrificer among the Yi people, and was in a ruling position. In the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, Bimo became the chief's think tank and assistant, in a position of assisting the government.
And at this time.
According to the approximate time of the wheel of history.
Bimo should be the one assisting Zmo.
Volume 12 of the Yi classic "Origins of the Yi Nationality" "Bu Mo Geng Yuan" says: "Bu Mo has three types of collars: the first specimen collar is to control the soldiers in the sky, hold the spear and halberd in the air, and unload the saddle from the sky; the second specimen collar is to Tuo. Large tracts of land can be opened without Bumou physically visiting it; thirdly, in the palace, Bumou accompanies the emperor and his ministers, during sacrifices, he accompanies the god Bumou, and in and outside the funeral field, he accompanies filial sons."
This "Bumo" is "Bimo", the transliteration is just different.
It can be seen from this.
Bimo's social status in Liangshan is extraordinary.
At least.
In terms of religious belief, he is more recognized by the people of Liangshan than the generals who expelled the Zimo family.
After these generals and warriors expelled Zmo, they quickly promoted a Teemo who they considered "qualified" and "obedient" to the throne.
However……
This posed hidden dangers to the Warring States period in Liangshan.
"What's the hidden danger?"
Qin Changfeng heard this very interestingly and couldn't help but ask.
Pei Yanran rolled her eyes at him charmingly and pouted her lips deliberately. Qin Changfeng blushed and quickly filled her with tea.
Liu Zheng rolled his eyes.
Do you want to feed the dog food like this?
Pei Yanran was then satisfied and smiled: "After the previous Zimo family branch was expelled. What do you think will happen next?"
Qin Changfeng's eyes lit up: "These black Yi people will definitely compete for interests!"
Pei Yanran smiled and nodded: "But it's not that simple to compete for interests. As soon as a few black Yi people turned against each other, the Ma family here shouted that the Da Bimo supported by the An family was not legal, and ours was Orthodoxy. The Shamash family here naturally took out their own Bimo and said that our Bimo is the one in charge of divine power and the envoy who sends spirits and guides the way! After all, the Shamash family has always had the surname Bimo. ...Here, it starts again.”
Hearing this, Liu Zheng felt that the layout of Liangshan was getting more and more exciting. He couldn't help but smile and asked: "Now, how many big bimo are there in the entire Liangshan?"
It stands to reason that the entire Liangshan can only be owned by one big Bimo, and naturally there is no limit to the number of other Bimo.
The status of this great Bimo is equivalent to that of an archbishop, and there can only be one.
However, these former Zimo family generals now wanted to take control of the high priest who was in charge of divine power and even human affairs.
Pei Yanran chuckled and said, "Eight!"
"ah?"
Liu Zheng and Qin Changfeng looked at each other, followed closely, and couldn't help but laugh at each other.
this……
This is too lively. Before the two of them entered Liangshan, they could almost imagine how lively and complicated Liangshan was now.
Eight big bimo, spraying here and there every day?
It makes me happy to think about it.
Qin Changfeng smiled and said, "Can't the common people tell the difference?"
Liu Zheng shook his head, noncommittal.
In fact, he never dared to talk about religious beliefs and theories about ghosts and gods. He didn't believe it. Especially after he traveled through time - he believed that he would not be surprised if any magical things happened.
He was in awe of the unknown.
But when ghosts and gods are mixed with the complicated human heart, everything changes.
"Oh, you haven't said yet how to avoid a war!"
Qin Changfeng was anxious.
Pei Yanran smiled and looked at Liu Zheng.
Liu Zheng was suddenly shocked and his eyes narrowed slightly: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, you mean that we can also create gods?"
Pei Yanran smiled brightly and nodded.
Liu Zheng was very excited.
I go!
This idea is so awesome!
Swish, brush, brush!
Three pairs of eyes looked at Xiao Heitan in the carriage at the same time.
Xiao Heitan was so frightened that he dropped the pheasant legs in his hands.
"What do you want to do?"
