Chapter 194 Bet

On a small hillside not far from the wrestling field, the surrounding trees are sparse. From here, you can see everything in the wrestling field. Several Daba teachers watched and whispered to each other. A fat elder with long eyebrows held his glasses and said to a thin elder, "Do you think this stranger wins or we Did Kurt, who helped him up, win?"

The skinny old man frowned and said, "I can't see that this stranger looks extraordinary, but I think he is a wrestler!"

The fat elder said with some dissatisfaction, "Long eyebrows, don't pretend to be profound. I don't believe you can't come out yet. I have a hidden feeling that this foreigner must win!" Changmei looked at himself with a dissatisfied face and simply proposed, "Why don't we make a bet, and I bet that this foreigner will win?"

Seeing that the long eyebrows were still silent, the fat elder smiled and said, "Long eyebrows, don't you dare to gamble?"

The long eyebrows pulled the corners of his mouth and vaguely felt that the fat elder said that foreigners would win, but the fat elder always annoyed him for seeing through his thoughts at a glance, and had to say it in front of people. He would love to sing against him, and said with some dissatisfaction, "Well, I'll bet - our Kuer wins!"

Seeing that he was tricked, the fat elder was afraid that he would repent. He immediately laughed and said, "Ok, it's a deal. Did you take out the barley wine you have hidden for 20 years to drink?"

The long-browed elder glanced at him and wanted to scold him a few words: "The greedy fat man, it turns out that you have been staring at it for a long time!" But suddenly thought of something, he closed his mouth and turned his eyes, and he had an idea in his heart. He secretly thought that he would find a bottle of barley wine to be perfunctory to you. He quietly looked at the one next to him. The elder glanced at it and said "um" generously.

The two stopped talking and stared at the game between Kuer and Erhei in the wrestling field. When Kuer pushed Erhei to the ground, the long-browed elder pulled a smile at the corners of his mouth. The eyes were obviously a little proud. The fat elder stared at Erhei, and his heart was dark and anxious. Erhei blinked and disappeared, which surprised the people present. I didn't expect that Erhei would have such a speed. It's hard to imagine. It's strange that Kuhl also ran, and there was no way to continue the game.

The long-browed elder Kur won, but such an unexpected thing happened. He took a look at the fat elder and thought that he had taken the lead before. Now he can't let him take the lead and said naturally, "I won!"

The fat elder raised his eyebrows and said, "Long eyebrows, you can say this kind of words. Obviously, the foreigner just fell to the ground and hasn't tell the winner yet. How dare you to say that you won? No wonder people say that people with long eyebrows are thick-skinned. It's really right!"

The long-browed elder's nose snorted, "You don't understand either. Wrestling. As long as you fall to the ground, you will lose. He obviously fell to the ground. Everyone saw it. What else is there to say!"

The fat elder pouted and said, "Kuhl obviously fell down. This is an indisputable fact. You still force it!"

The long-browed elder pulled his mouth and said, "Anyway, the foreigner fell to the ground and lost!"

The fat elder said unwillingly, "Don't play tricks!"

The two of them quarreled one by one, and there was a tendency to compete. A thin elder looked around at them with some dissatisfaction and said, "What are you shouting? You two can't see it except for betting to win each other!" The fat elder and the long-browed elder stopped and looked at each other. It's unnatural. I wonder if it's really that I bet with the other party before, and I didn't notice that something else happened, or the Lord Daba annoyed me and deliberately said this. Both of them looked at the Lord Li in a dause and didn't know what he would say next.

Master Kodaba didn't say anything and looked into the distance. The fat elder shouted anxiously, "Master, what do you see?"

Lord Daba, when you saw that the two did not argue, your eyes came back from someone and said, "This foreigner is unusual. This is what you both saw, but he has two companions?"

The fat elder said inexplicably, "Companion, why didn't I notice it?"

Master Daba said with some dissatisfaction, "You have been busy quarreling. How can you see it!"

The long-browed elder said, "Master, what's wrong with his companion?"

Master Daba said slowly, "That foreigner doesn't want to go out to play at all!"

Chang Mei looked surprised and couldn't help asking, "Master, why did he go out to fall again?"

The master said, "He went out after being used witchcraft!"

Both the long eyebrows and the fat elder were shocked. With an unnatural face, they had been thinking about winning the other party. Someone used witchcraft under their own eyes, but they didn't see it. It was really embarrassing to spread out. The fat elder hurriedly said, "Who dares to use such witchcraft under our eyes?"

The long eyebrows also echoed, "That's right, they simply don't pay attention to us!"

The master said, "He seems to be our fellow!"

The fat elder asked tightly again, "Daba taught?"

The priest shook his head and said uncertainly, "It's very similar, but it's not - Daba!"

The long-browed elder asked again, "Master, what do you think he teaches?"

The Lord of Daba said, "I guess it's Dongba!"

The long eyebrows and the fat elder said, "Oh", and their eyes were a little excited, and asked with some good things, "Master, since they are here, let's take this opportunity to learn from each other?"

The master said, "What are you doing? He is still a child!"

As soon as the long-browed elder heard it, he thought that although he was engaged in religious activities and presided over some activities such as funerals, exorcism, ancestor sacrifices and soul-sending activities, in the eyes of some people in Lijiang, their status is low, they can't preside over major ceremonies, and there are no magic clothes, magic tools, and no systematic scriptures, Daba, also known as beating. Ba, the original meaning is to use knives and axes to cut human disasters. So far, Mosuo people have carved certain symbols on logs to help them remember.

At the beginning, there was only one kind of Daba, presiding over sacrifices, and later there was a certain division of labor to form three kinds of Dabas. Hadaba: equivalent to a priest, who can preside over the sacrifice to heaven, earth and ancestors. He is a high-ranking Daba, and is also the host of sending souls and burying. Budaba: mainly engaged in curing diseases, exorcising ghosts, understanding witchcraft, and can recite scriptures. Paidaba: He is mainly engaged in divination, has divination books, and is a kind of prophet.

Daba has a certain dress, and the hat he wears is "Zaoma", which is sewn with cloth and consists of five pieces. From left to right: the first one is "Kasigmi", which is the god who lives in the sky; the second one is "Oh mother Ganna", which also lives in the sky and is the god of ghosts; the third is " Raji Misho, is the ancestor of Daba; the fourth is Daba; the fifth is "Love Clothes". It is the lion living on the mountain. It is Daba's assistant. When Daba invites the gods, he must invite the first three gods, as the greatest protectors. When exorcising ghosts, the lions, he invites the lion to go out. There are two small pieces on both sides of the crown, as the ears of the Daba jumping god. . In the past, some people said that the crowns of Daba, Dongba and lamas were the same, which were five images of gods, but in fact they were different.

There are also many magic weapons in Daba. When Daba is engaged in activities, it must be a flag. The flag is triangular, with a sun and moon pattern. The flagpole is long and inserted in the ground. There is an iron spear or fork on the top of the pole. As a symbol of Daba, it is also a protective weapon. There are two kinds of Daba's gods: one is a fixed guardian god, such as Daba's ancestor, the Water Dragon King, etc. . The former is wood-carved, which is a pointed square type, which is usually placed in a magic weapon bag and is used on the supply plate; the other is temporary, such as ancestors, mountain gods, dragon kings, etc., which are kneaded and made on the present.

The plate is also made of wood carving, square, and has a shallow groove. It is used for serving grain. The doll is placed in the center. Generally, it is placed in the center of the altar. There is no printing plate. It is carved with wood to make a certain doll or auspicious pattern for printing cloth or paper gods for home, or hanging on the lint, mainly mountain gods, water gods and All kinds of auspicious patterns.

Drum tambourine is a kind of small drum with a diameter of about 25 cm. It is made of wood as a frame and is wrapped in sheepskin on both sides, so it is called a two-sided drum. Commonly known as the small drum, it is also known as the wizard of this religion as the small drum monk; the big drum, called "Kala", is flat and round, and also has two sides. The drum hammer is "beat Kara and fall." It is similar to the standing drum used by Lama, which seems to be influenced by Tibetan Buddhism.

There is also a hand bell, also known as a rattle, made of copper, flat and round, with a hole in the center, with a short handle of yak horns under it, which can be shaken by hand. It is called "Abela" in Mosuo language. When using it, use a hand rope with the bell mouth facing up, because it has a bell tongue inside, and it shakes.

The long knife of the divine stick and the divine knife Daba, about one meter, with a handle, a long blade, and a sheath on the outside. This knife is a practical knife, which is actually the most popular knife in the Qing Dynasty. Daba must wear this knife when dancing and funeral. The amulet is sewn with cloth, or made of copper, with gods and spirits inside, and then wears a cloth belt on his body as a protective weapon to protect Daba. Some amulets are also decorated with bronze, birds, eagles and other things. As ancient relics, pig's teeth are beaded. Beads must be hung around the neck. The beads are made of wood, grass seeds or jade, 108 pieces, and a pair of wild boar teeth are hung below, and some are decorated with suede horns, bells, sea scallops and other ornaments.

When the fat elder saw what he was planning to do, he yawned lazily and said, "Master, it's okay. I'll go back first. I'm brewing a kind of snake gallbladder wine. When it's done, I'll carry you to pay for it first, but it's just a little short of herbs-!"

The long-browed elder found that the priest's lips squirmed next to him. It seemed that he was still talking, but there was still no word, but there was a trace of excitement in his eyes. It was a little strange in his heart. The master has always been clear-hearted. What's wrong with today? There are always some differences. There is a trace of unconscious excitement in the eyebrows. There is something wrong, and the specifics are not clear.

The fat elder left, and Changmei also made an excuse and left. In fact, he didn't go far. He just followed the master. He wanted to see what happened to the master today. The master walked east in the woods for a while, looked at the distance, sighed, and walked west again. After a while, he walked to the end of the woods, walked east for a while, and then slowly returned to religion. Changmei followed him. He always felt that he had something wrong with him today. The strangest thing was that he approached him several times, and the master did not notice it. According to his past experience, this was impossible to happen.
