Spiritual History of Manchuria

Chapter 5 Star and Moon Eye

After walking for more than ten minutes, Qin Zhong and others walked farther and farther in the mountains and forests, but along the way, the woman tied a hay to each tree she passed. After waiting for several people to go up the second hill, she suddenly turned around and said, "After getting off this mountain, you have to blindfolded."

"Well, how far is the road?" Qin Zhong asked about this because he wanted to calculate the distance and try to remember the route after they came in. This was a skill he learned from his grandfather's notes.

These people went all the way down the mountain and didn't wait for the foot of the mountain. Qin Zhong and others were covered with black cloth. The sky was about to get dark, and the snow was deep on the road. The woman pulled Qin Zhong with a rope and passed it back: "Everyone grabs the rope. There are still more than ten minutes ahead. We have to go quickly. You can Keep up, don't fall down."

On this road, Qin Zhong obviously felt that he seemed to have gone up another slope, down another hill, and walked through what seemed to be a bridge. It seemed that after being questioned, he had entered a seemingly warm place.

After the black cloth on Qin Zhong's eyes was taken off, there was a vast white room in front of them, but under the heavy snow, there were ordinary wooden and tile houses. Seeing this place called the tribe was nothing more than more than 20 houses, and there was a round stone surrounded in the middle of the whole tribe. The stack lit a bonfire on the stack and surrounded a group of people to set fire outside the bonfire.

The leader is an old man with a white beard, with a tiger hat on his head, a copper cigarette gun in his hand, and a green cigarette in his mouth: "Yingzi, what do you mean by bringing these people back?"

"Grandpa, just now, my granddaughter went out to play alone and was chased by a bear. Thanks to their help, my granddaughter's life was saved; but one of their sisters was injured by a tree broken by the big black monster, so she took her back to heal."

As soon as the old man heard this, the look on his face immediately became very ugly: "Have I told you that outsiders are not allowed to bring them in casually? You should know that once we are told here by outsiders, we will never get the current purity."

"But Grandpa, they killed our bear god. If we don't get rid of the big black monster as soon as possible, we will get disaster, so I must take them back to apologize to the bear god." Yingzi replied.

Qin Zhong didn't say a word at this moment. Guo Dafu's urgent urine was about to come out. It could be seen that Qin Zhong was calm, and he was fine.

The old man called Yingzi and muttered something. Qin Zhong's mind was like a computer and began to recall whether this was recorded in his grandfather's notes. Unfortunately, it was indeed not, so he recalled his history textbook. In the textbook, he once said something, which was Ewenkemin. The characteristics of the two ethnic groups and Orianchun, what they call the Bear God, in their view, is their ancestors.

The bear god is the ancestor of the nation. If you really kill the bear, you must bring back the body of the blind bear, worship it, and then take the bear's bones to the wind burial.

But Qin Zhong had never seen such a ceremony. In his mind, what he was most concerned about was whether the Mona he held could get a quiet healing place and go out to find the evidence of the shaman's anti-Japanese resistance at that time.

The white-haired old man chatted with Yingzi for a long time before he hurried back, but at least 20 people in the tribe came out of the tribe.

Seeing that time has been wasted for too long, Qin Zhong can come to the old man: "Uncle, I don't want to say anything, and I don't want to bother you, but you have to help arrange this. She is very injured. If she is not saved, her life will be in danger."

The old man looked at Mona, put his hand on his face, and touched Mengna's shoulder. The old man slapped twice and said, "He is not in danger to life, but his shoulder seems to have been interrupted. At least rest here for about a month. Hey, since he is Yingzi's benefactor, let's also be bold and give it to her Come out of a room and leave Yingzi's room for her.

"Thank you very much!" Qin Zhong said, and Na Yingzi took him to his room and entered the room. Mengna was put down a wooden ** holding the skin tightly.

Then the old man came out of his wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Mona. He turned around and said to Qin Zhongyan, "There are many of you. Now I will live here for a while. When she is ready, you will leave immediately. Also, tonight, you must attend the ceremony of visiting your ancestors. Please ask our shamans here to help. Busy healing her wounds."

Qin Zhong understood as soon as he heard it. It turned out that the old man wanted to use the shaman ceremony to heal her. It seemed that this was a good opportunity. He could also inquire about some things without effort. Qin Zhong decided to stay here for the time being.

Mona lay quietly on Yingzi's **, which didn't seem to be as uncomfortable as it was at the beginning. Qin Zhong and Yingzi went out of the room. He looked up to the sky and sighed, "Oh, it's really a step-by-step adventure. I didn't expect to encounter such a thing."

"Yes, but you are fast enough. Generally speaking, it is very difficult for the big black monster to kill him."

Qin Zhong nodded and said, "Thanks to the gun today."

"Is she your wife?" Yingzi asked Qin Zhong, but it could be seen from Yingzi's face that she was absolutely un wary of Qin Zhong.

Qin Zhong immediately replied, "No, she is just my good partner, but he is more important than my sister, because I don't have a sister."

"Oh, hehe, you are quite funny. Let's go and take you to the room, but you guys don't have a good place to arrange a room for you for the time being."

Qin Zhong and others did not refute. Under the arrangement of Yingzi, several people were successfully arranged. It was getting late, the bright moon was in the sky, and the morning stars were everywhere.

Qin Zhong used to look up at the moon and look at the stars, but he looked around and was nothing more than enjoying the excitement. But when he looked back at the moon again, he suddenly found that the moon and the weakest star behind it exactly corresponded, and between the moon and the star exactly showed a A small black hole.

At this moment, Qin Zhong's eyes are bright: "Guo Dafu, look, this is what I often call the eye of the stars and the moon."

"What is that? Didn't you say anything to me last time?

"Your uncle, I'll tell you again that the eyes of the stars and moon generally point to the sacred region. Let's remember the coordinates and go there next time." Qin Zhongyan said.

Guo Dafu's expression spread and smiled secretly in his heart: "Ah ha, that means we don't have to bother to find history anymore?"

"I don't care about this. We can go directly then."

But at this moment, more than 20 people came in from outside the tribe. These people, carrying all kinds of animal skin bags on their shoulders and in their hands, fully packed all the bodies of the bear black man back, and the leader carried three animal skin bags in his hand, wrapped in something that seemed very calm. He went directly to the altar that had just been set up.

The old man kept beating the cigarette bag in his mouth and slowly opened three packages. There were three bear heads in the package, but when he saw the head hit by Qin Zhong, the old man was dumbfounded: "Did you hit this head?"

"Yes, one shot to death."

"Hmm, it's all like this. If you don't die, you will meet the attachment of your ancestors."

Qin Zhong sneered. He didn't know why the people of the Orunchun and Ewenke people regarded this blind man as their ancestors, which was too indescable.

He looked down at the bear head cut by the sharp blade. He was really uncomfortable. After all, these bears were killed by himself.

In these two ethnic groups, they believe in shamanism. They respect nature, worship nature, and regard black bears as their ancestors. If they kill black bears, they must bring back the bear head for the shaman to sacrifice. After the shaman sacrifice, they will hold a bonfire meeting for the people to share bear meat and then kill the dog. The bear people kowtowed to the black bear and said good words, praying for the good luck of the black bear's own ancestors in the future.
