When Yun Shu, who was in charge of killing and not burying, carefully returned to the east chamber, Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang were already fast asleep.
She didn't enter the house either, she just climbed up the wall and jumped up to the roof of the main house in three or five steps. Holding her aching chest, she couldn't help but look up at the sky.
The moon hangs high in the night sky and the stars are shining brightly. When you reach out your hand, you feel as if you can pick the stars with your hands.
But mortals are mortals after all, and all of this is just elusive.
Yun Shu was born as a human and died as a ghost. He understood the sadness of life, old age, illness, death, and the uncertainty of fate.
Since we are all ants under the law of heaven, and I dare not say anything against the heaven, then I will be the strongest among the ants. Maybe one day, I may not be able to make the heaven follow me.
At this moment, Yun Shu's eyes burst out with a light that was brighter than the stars in the sky.
If it was because she was bored in the past, she went to seek the opportunity, now she has a better reason - look at how high the sky is and how wide the earth is, let me have my freedom in this world.
Such great aspirations agitated Yun Shu's heart to death, and he could not calm down for a long time.
Until a ghostly figure came into the courtyard.
Yun Shu's consciousness is now a little stronger, and with the help of divine power, if she wants, the entire Changbai Village can be reflected in her sea of consciousness.
Naturally, as soon as the figure appeared, Yun Shu discovered that it was Lao Cangtou, one of the two elders guarding the warehouse.
She waved to him, and Lao Cangtou easily jumped onto the roof and stood next to Yun Shu.
"Ni Chuhe went up to the Holy Mountain by herself when the whole family was attending the Flowing Water Banquet. She had a strong figure and nimble movements, and at least possessed the martial arts cultivation of the Anjin stage. Her expression was very strange, and she seemed to have some kind of madness and desperation.
Her target is the mountain temple. Because of the clan regulations, except for the mountain guards, outsiders are not allowed to approach the mountain temple within one mile. In addition, there are sacred crows warning around, so the old slave can only wait one mile away and wait. I don’t know why she went to the mountain temple.
About half an hour later, Nichukhe came out of the mountain temple. Although the expression on his face did not have the frightening madness, it was still very strange and confused, like... like a lost child, As if he didn't know which way to go. "
Lao Cangtou did not mix in any personal emotions and just told Yun Shu what he saw word for word.
Yun Shu subconsciously looked towards the ridge of Changbai Mountain, where there was a temple that had been built for who knows how many years - the Changbai Mountain Temple.
The reason why I don’t know how many years ago is because it has existed since it was established in Changbai Village, and it was here that Nurhachi received the blessing of the mountain god.
Today's Mountain Temple was rebuilt by Changbai Village on the original site of the former Mountain Temple. The unclear clay sculpture was replaced by a Changbai scroll. The majestic palace is lit with lanterns day and night, and the bright yellow glazed tiles represent the location of this place. A temple of Zhengshen recognized by the Emperor and the Taoist Court.
As a civil guardian, it is not surprising that Ni Chuhe came to the mountain temple. What is strange is why she chose to come alone when all the clan members are gathered together!
Nichuhe? Mountain temple?
What's the connection here?
"Cang Lao, tell me about Ni Chuhe in your eyes."
Hearing Yun Shu's words, Lao Cangtou didn't have any doubts. The reason why he and Lao Wutou were left to Yun Shu by Jin Alin was not only because of their sincerity, but also because of the survival rules they had learned since childhood - —Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, don’t listen to what you shouldn’t hear, and don’t look at what you shouldn’t see.
So at this time, he just thought about it briefly and said: "When the old slave came to Changbai Village, Ni Chuhe was just twelve or thirteen years old. At that time, we were very nervous and only thought about what we had learned in the palace. We must serve the Lord well and we must not let him drive us away.
The reason why I noticed Ni Chuhe was because of her birthday - February 12, 1912. "
Yun Shu didn't know why, but when she heard about this date, her heart skipped a beat. When she thought about it, her surprise was palpable, "The last emperor of the previous dynasty issued an edict to abdicate, does it represent the day when the previous dynasty was destroyed?"
Ni Chuhe was actually born on that day!
Then she can still obtain such a high status in Changbai Village?
Lao Cangtou seemed to see Yun Shu's doubts, and continued: "It is said that Ni Chuhe was not favored by the tribe when she was born. Even the Lord at the time, Lord Alin's father, thought she was not good enough. Geely, let’s drown.”
Speaking of this, Lao Cangtou couldn't help but glance at Yun Shu, because this master also said that Nichukhe was "unlucky" this morning.
Yun Shu's face didn't change, "Then, I think someone must clear her name." And this person must have a high status in the clan.
Lao Cangtou nodded, "Yes, that person is your ancestor, Young Master Alin, who has just succeeded the ninth generation of shaman. He told the oracle that this girl is in good time. And he also gave her a nun. The name Chuhe'. It is said that Nichuhe held Lord Alin's hand and nodded vigorously, as if responding to the oracle's decree."
Later, she really agreed to Jin Alin's words. Nichuhe was able to speak at the age of half a year, and was familiar with various books in the family collection at the age of three. If Lord Alin hadn't been afraid that her "extreme intelligence would inevitably hurt her", he forcibly refused to allow her to participate in literary studies. Shou Shou, Ni Chuhe might be able to create a miracle like Yun Shu who became a shaman at the age of eleven and become Lord Wen Shou at the age of ten.
"Before Nichuhe became the civil servant, because of the love of Lord Alin, he had been with Da Gege (Jile Tajileta, Daya's grandmother) and Abu Kemaolin (the chief of the Fucha tribe, Nichuhe's husband). ), Namuchokko (the old lady of the Nala clan) Nerji (the husband of the chief of the Sochuro tribe) Yiqifenhe (the matriarch of the Sochuro tribe), Zaksaka (the wife of the chief of the Niugulu tribe) ) and wait for the best boys and girls of that generation to shoulder the responsibility in the sacrifice."
Yun Shu only inherited the shaman inheritance from ancestor A Lin. Even though the donkey Ah Hui tipped her off, she did not grow up in Changbai Village and was not very clear about many things in the clan.
This is one of the reasons why senior executives of the Eight Departments can openly ask to "mentor" her.
And Ah Hui is only ten years old now, so of course he doesn't know about these things that happened decades ago.
Now Yun Shu understands the benefits of "having an elder in a family is like having a treasure".
The so-called "Zaili" involves shamanic inheritance.
Generally speaking, shaman inheritance is not hereditary, but uses various unique methods to identify whether some people are qualified to be shamans.
After you are qualified to learn shamanism, you still need to pass a period of arduous study and specific test rituals. This is the "apprenticeship period" before becoming a true shaman.
Apprentice shamans and new shamans generally serve as assistants to older shamans during sacrifices.
The so-called "Zai Li" refers to the person who serves the gods and plays an important role in the entire sacrifice. In shamanism, there is even a proverb of "three parts shaman, seven parts Zai Li".
But the biggest difference between the shamanic inheritance in Changbai Village and other shamanic inheritances is that it is a hereditary system and follows the relationship of blood inheritance.
If the Jin family wants to become a true shaman, in addition to inheriting the spirituality of the mountain spirit, they also need to obtain the spirituality left in the body of the mountain guarding beast by the previous shaman.
Therefore, the old and new shamans are like the flowers and leaves of the flower of the other side, which cannot be seen in life or death.
In addition, the Jin family has fewer and fewer heirs, so it has become a tradition in Changbai Village to select outstanding boys and girls from the eight mountain guardians to take over.
But Yun Shu smelled a conspiracy.
