Uncle Jianye came here mainly to invite Yun Shu to return to Changbai Village to set up the "Saulun Divine Pole".
"Saulon's pole?" What is that?
Yun Shu was a serious Han nationality in his previous life, and for eight generations his ancestors had never heard of anyone marrying an ethnic minority.
For her, there are many festivals throughout the year, seven or eight from the Spring Festival to New Year's Eve, but apart from eating and drinking, and visiting graves to worship ancestors in rural areas, there are really no special activities.
But when she returned to the human world in this life, she not only became a Manchu princess, but also a being who inherited the "throne" and "priesthood". As a result, Yun Shu had to know all about many ancient customs of the Manchu people. You even need to attend in person.
For example, at this time, Uncle Jianye put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands. Even if he couldn't bear to part with the fragrant dumplings stuffed with pickled cabbage residue, he still had to correct his posture before he could say "stand up".
The Manchu people's "sacrifice to Sauron's sacred pole" was originally to commemorate Nurhachi, which had a strong mythological color.
Later, with the integration with Han culture, the Manchu people also added new content when they "sacrifice Sauron's sacred pole": offering sacrifices to ancestors, admonishing descendants, celebrating a good harvest and foreshadowing a good year.
The so-called Sauron pole is a pine pole with a clamping stone at the bottom and a tin bucket at the top of the pole.
Flags and flags should be placed on the tin bucket, and pig offal and grains should be placed in the bucket for magpies, crows and other birds to eat. This is called divine enjoyment.
The divine food was eaten up quickly and was considered a good omen.
Lanterns or ice lanterns are also hung on the "Saulun pole", and incense is burned on time to worship ancestors.
The "Saulun pole" is erected on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month every year. On the 15th day of the first lunar month, the tribe holds a grand sacrificial activity. It is lifted on the second day of the second lunar month when the dragon raises its head.
Tong Jianye tried his best to use concise language to help Yun Shu quickly understand the Manchu custom of erecting the sacred pole of Sauron.
But Yun Shu recalled the Manchu customs she came into contact with in later generations, and it seemed that there was no such thing as "standing a pole."
"There are many Manchu families in Qingxi Village and even in the surrounding villages. Why have I never heard of this custom?"
When Tong Jianye heard this, the light in his eyes dimmed a little, "Because when worshiping Sauron's pole, a shaman is required to serve as the chief priest, and a shamanic dance is required to communicate between heaven and earth.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, these were all feudal superstitions. In addition, there are very few real shamans nowadays. There are not even many small shamans, let alone big shamans. A dozen years ago, there were not many such customs. The Manchu people did it. The reason why our Changbai Village retains this custom is that it is more important to worship the holy mountain and then the ancestors. "
Speaking of this, a wry smile appeared on his face, "But since Alin Mafa passed away, our Changbai Village has not done anything for five or six years."
Then Tong Jianye looked at Yun Shu, his eyes bright, "But this year is different. Your name has been written on the family tree. Although you said you didn't want to take over the position of Lord, as the only descendant of the Jin family, you He was born as the clan leader and the great shaman who protects the holy mountain."
Yun Shu looked at Uncle Jianye who became more and more convinced the more he spoke, even a little fanatical, and felt that "feudal superstition kills people" was correct to a certain extent.
Do you need to be so exaggerated?
Furthermore, would the earth not be able to rotate without me?
"Uncle Jianye, stop it first. I can handle the pole-erecting thing, but I can't do anything like the great shaman's dance."
When Tong Jianye heard what Yun Shu meant, he agreed. As for what she said, it wasn't a problem.
"You are the divine person chosen by the Holy Mountain. You don't need to learn anything. When the time comes, the mountain god will tell you what to do."
Yun Shu couldn't help but shiver, why did he sound so frightened by these words.
"Uncle, you have joined a new society, so don't scare me?"
Although her own origin belongs to "feudal superstition", can she not feel whether there is a mountain god in Changbai Mountain?
Will the mountain god tell her what to do? What a fool!
Tong Jianye didn't really believe it, but after hearing some of the things his grandfather said, he was still murmuring in his head.
"I have also studied science, but there are some things that I really can't help but think about deeply. For example, the sea turtle I gave you last time.
In our Manchu myths and legends, the shaman is the incarnation of the divine eagle and the god of communication.
And the day after your great-grandfather went back and wrote your name in the family tree with other clan elders, the clansmen on the other side of the Songhua River sent a sea turtle, one that had not appeared for 180 years. Pure black premium condor. If you say this is a coincidence, it is too much of a coincidence. "
Uncle Jianye didn't think much about it before, but after he returned, he told his grandfather about Yun Shu's 'intuition' (Chapter 38). His grandfather patted his thigh and said that this was God's arrangement.
The more Tong Jianye thought about it, the more he felt that there was destiny somewhere.
But Yun Shu didn't know that he had suffered from the second grade disease that day, and then deceived him about Uncle Jianye. Because of the extraordinaryness of the ancestor Jin Alin, the Tong family's grandfather and grandson despised him.
At this time, she was a little frightened, fearing that Uncle Jianye would suddenly ask about the precious sea turtle.
Feeling guilty, Yun Shu naturally promised to follow him to Changbai Village and leave immediately.
And this matter really aroused her curiosity. It is said that skilled people are bold, so this guy relied on the red lotus karma fire and space to decide to give it a try.
After all, Changbai Mountain is so mysterious that even in later generations, the mysteries in this mountain range have not been completely solved.
Moreover, her opportunity lies in this mountain range!
But after looking at and listening to what she and Uncle Jianye said, Da Zhuang, who felt confused and confused, and Xiao Zhuang in his arms, Yun Shu knew that something should come. Always coming.
Yun Shu patted Da Zhuang's head, "Whatever you want to know or what you doubt, I will tell you later. But now, you have to go to Grandma's house with Uncle Jianye and tell him that we are going to live with Uncle Jianye at grandma's house." Two days.”
Da Zhuang's anxious and anxious heart suddenly calmed down at this moment. He looked at his sister's firm and gentle eyes and nodded vigorously.
Tong Jianye also saw Yun Shu like this, and at this moment, his impetuous heart became calm.
No wonder grandpa has been too lazy to talk to him recently. Compared with Yun Shu, he is as old as a dog. He is too impatient.
Although he is a bit funny inside, to outsiders, Tong Jianye is quite capable.
It's almost the New Year's Day. Although it doesn't count as New Year's greetings, Wang Dazhi is still considered an elder, so Tong Jianye brought a bottle of wine and a pack of snacks.
When Uncle Jianye and Dazhuang left the door, Yun Shu quickly packed his things.
The weather was too cold now, so he shouldn't have brought Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang with him, but looking at his uneasy brother, Yun Shu was afraid that he would think too much and get sick during the Chinese New Year, so he just took them with him.
So Yun Shu dug out all the quilts and leather mattresses at home, as well as the fox fur cloak that Da Zhuang was going to wear during the New Year, and the small cloak that Yun Shu made for Xiao Zhuang using the lynx skin that her mother pressed at the bottom of the box.
If it could still stay cold, then she would have to go up the mountain to hunt for minks another day.
