Manchu ancestor worship is divided into major sacrifices and minor sacrifices.
Small sacrifices, also called family sacrifices, are held every year, while large sacrifices are very complicated. They usually happen every twelve years, in the Year of the Dragon or the Year of the Tiger, and last three days.
This kind of sacrificial ritual was still widely circulated among Manchu surnames in China in the 1930s and 1940s, but after that, it became "feudal/superstitious".
Due to Changbai Village's special identity and status, this traditional culture has not been lost. Family sacrifices are held every year, but the big sacrifice was held when Jin Alin was still alive, and the last time was thirteen years ago.
1965 is the Year of the Snake, which is not among the dragon and tiger. However, although Changbai Village is an orthodox Manchu, the main deity they believe in is the Changbai Mountain God, which is different from the orthodox shaman worship.
Furthermore, this year is the first major ceremony hosted by Changbai's tenth-generation great shaman. Both the Changbai Village clan members and Yun Shu attach great importance to this.
The big sacrifice will be held for three days, starting on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and Yun Shu has already started fasting before that.
He couldn't eat meat, and there were only radishes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, Chinese cabbage, and mushrooms at home. After just two meals, Yun Shu already felt like he had something to eat.
She finally understood why people in this era always said they didn't have enough to eat and had to live with their belts tightened.
A meal consists of a corn pancake, a bowl of porridge consists of a mouthful of sauerkraut and miso, which is enough for an adult man when food was abundant.
There was no oil or water, so I only relied on staple food, potatoes and cabbage to fill my stomach. The work was heavy and tiring, so naturally I became hungry after a while. How could I live without tightening my belt?
Yun Shu only took it for two days and felt that her waist had become twice as thin. No wonder fat people are so rare in this era.
The fourteenth day of the first lunar month is the third day of Yunshu's fast.
Yun Shu opened his eyes and looked at the small alarm clock on the pillow. It was only six o'clock and it was still dark outside.
Due to the "insufficient supply" of energy in the past two days, she did not dare to practice at all. After all, ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum, etc. would not taste good if eaten dry.
But if it weren't for the fasting, she would probably have forgotten all about making alchemy.
After all, there might be situations like this in the future, and she couldn't stop practicing for this reason.
Cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. This saying is true.
So the matter of alchemy was finally put on Yun Shu's agenda.
However, she had the elixir recipe, but not all the medicinal materials and utensils, especially the alchemy furnace and fire.
So Yun Shu has been sorting out the information about the extraordinary forces in Changbai Mountain given to her by Tu Xie and A Lin Ancestor these days.
After much deliberation, only Zhenlongguan is the first choice.
First of all, Zhenlongguan and Changbai Village have a deep relationship and have always had a good personal relationship;
Secondly, the founder of the Zhenlongguan sect is a powerful person in the Huiyang realm. Even if he is not good at alchemy, he may still have a good alchemy furnace.
As for whether she can borrow it, we will decide when the time comes.
And Yun Shu really needs to meet that senior Qing Yun Yi. After all, the news that Tu Xie and A Lin’s ancestors gave her were more than ten years ago or even decades ago. Changbai Village has now... The spiritual world has gone off the rails.
Although Senior Qingsongzi has long since ceased to be involved in worldly affairs, a Qin Xinjing monk is still the head of a sect. He is divorced from the secular world, so how can he really not be connected with the world of practice!
The "immortal families" in the mountains were dying to escape, and few of them became popular. She wanted to manage Changbai Mountain better, but in the end she still had to fall on Changbai Village.
In fact, the conflict between the Jin family and the Changbai Babu has been around for a long time, and it did not arise after the Jin family became weak.
Just by listening to their name in the spiritual world, you can tell that it is the Changbaijin family, not Changbai Village, that represents Changbai Mountain.
In the entire Changbai Village, there is only one person who has a touch of the spiritual path, but there is more than one person guarding Changbai Mountain.
There are definitely many more Changbai tribe members who died in Changbai Mountain than the Jin family.
This is like "standing out from the crowd". It is conspicuous, but the jealousy it arouses is also real jealousy.
Why did the Jin family lead the Changbai Shoushan people for three hundred years, but there was only one Ni Chuhe, a person with a foreign surname other than Jin who could become a "goddess" and there were so many people throwing knives at the Jin family?
Just because they saw hope!
Now that there is a Guarjia family, how far behind are the Fucha family, the Niugulu family, the Majia family, etc.?
As long as the Jin family is gone, there will always be hope for others, right?
After understanding this, Yun Shu had to admire the mountain god of Changbai Mountain. He was worthy of being an innate god that existed from a long time ago. Even if his wisdom gradually faded away, no one could match his grasp of the human heart.
Look at the big hole He dug for the Jin family. This was planned long ago and he had no intention of keeping the Jin family from the beginning.
But now that she's here, even if it's water injection, she has to fill the hole.
It's just profit.
Yun Shu believes that the grand ceremony at this moment will definitely make a mark in the "Changbai Major Events".
Yun Shu got up from the bed. She was going to Changbai Village today, but she planned to let Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang experience her abilities in advance, so as not to find anything wrong during the big ceremony and be sad that she didn't tell them anything.
After discovering that Da Zhuang had hidden so many worries, Yun Shu also thought about it. She was not an ordinary person, so why did she have to let her brothers learn from ordinary people.
If there was a chance, she would rather have her brothers come into her family than have to go through life and death again a hundred years later.
Xiaozhuang is okay, but he is still young and has not yet established his three views. It's just a little troublesome to be strong.
But he can even accept the "immortal family", so it shouldn't be difficult to accept that his sister is not a "mortal"!
After all, he has to learn that "life is full of surprises"!
…
A gray donkey pulled a delicate and compact carriage forward smoothly and quickly.
Yun Shu sat outside the carriage, while Da Zhuang sat in the carriage holding Xiao Zhuang. All the beautiful scenery could be seen through the windows inlaid with transparent glass.
The sun was shining brightly, the sky was blue, and the invisible wind gathered under Ah Hui's hooves, pulling the carriage through the clouds and mist.
Looking down, you can see the green, orange, and yellow forests set against the white snow and black soil. The earth is so colorful.
There are also tall and handsome peaks one after another, and silver-white streams and rivers one after another...
Of course, if you ignore Da Zhuang’s frightened, stunned, and speechless expressions, the sightseeing trip of the three siblings was still wonderful.
There is a barrier formed by the wind, and the carriage does not need a door curtain. However, considering that Xiao Zhuang is suffering from ADHD at his age, Yun Shu made a fifty centimeter-high barrier at the door.
She sat on the car board outside the carriage, where she could see Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang, so she could "comfort" them.
Well, Yun Shu took a look at Xiao Zhuang, who was not afraid at all and would fly out if he wasn't held tightly by his brother. Well, it seemed that only Da Zhuang needed her "comfort".
"Are you surprised, Da Zhuang? Ever since I made this carriage, I've been wanting you to see it. It's specially made for you and Xiao Zhuang!"
Da Zhuang finally turned his dull eyes to his sister, "Surprise! What a surprise!"
I was so surprised that I was so surprised. What the hell is this about a carriage?
Ah Hui is flying! The carriage is flying! And they are also flying!
Da Zhuang closed his eyes and felt that he had to slow down and didn't fly, so he never knew... Oh my god, I'm afraid of heights, I'm scared to death, okay?
