The amiable and smiling Eskimos and Xiao Fei were in high spirits and chattered about something, and Xiao Fei looked at us with a curious look and hurriedly explained: "These people say that we should not dislike their things too poorly, because they are completely icy and covered with snow and ice, there is almost no plant food here, and there are very few trees, so they eat the sea and settle down by the sea, mainly by hunting marine mammals- Mainly walruses, seals, narwhals and various types of blubber, as well as fish. It feeds on land mammals such as caribou, white bear, musk ox, polar fox and arctic elephant, so it is all meat-based. We especially want to thank the whales. When Heaven sent a flood to punish mankind for its sins, our ancestors did not hide in Noah's Ark, but drifted with the water in their own kayaks. When our ancestors were dying of starvation, a bowhead whale volunteered to provide them with food. Our ancestors survived the storm and landed on shore, so every spring since then, bowhead whales have come to the Arctic to feed us every spring. We are full of gratitude for whales, but we have to eat them in order to survive, and because of this, before we eat them, we have to hold rituals and prayers for each whale that is hunted, bless their souls, and thank nature for its gifts to us. We believe that everything in the world has a life and a soul. All things are spiritual. The Eskimos muttered something to Fei again, and Fei did a good job of translating at the same time, and he immediately translated to us: "They said they wanted to go out hunting later." Hu Jiaojiao said happily: "Then why don't you come to a place to go hunting, I really want to see it with my own eyes, tell them to go out quickly, let's watch the excitement together." Xiao Fei smiled and said, "I just said, but their whole family is hesitant to go hunting, so they are going to invite a wizard to divinate for them, and then decide whether to go out or not after the wizard comes over for a divination." Quicksand said suspiciously, "There are wizards here?" and Fei Fei gushed, "Yes, the Eskimos have a similar religious belief to animism. Their spiritual culture is basically in the stage of primitive spiritual culture, and the religion they believe in is also primitive animism, or animism. They deeply believe that there are many super-material souls in heaven and earth that dominate everything in nature, that the soul can transcend the appearance of matter, and can enter or leave the human body or any other object, and that even if the material is destroyed, the soul still exists in various forms of primitive religion, including totem worship and witchcraft. They worship and fear nature, the dead, and their ancestors. And the people in charge of religious affairs in Eskimo society are shamans, so each of their villages lives mysterious shamans, who are the most important people in the village, and both male and female shamans exist. The Eskimos saw a shaman as a person with a special ability to communicate with or influence the gods. Little Fei's eyebrows fluttered, and as he was talking, the Eskimo had put on the heavy fur coat he had gone out of, and had taken an oil lamp with a lampshade, pushed open the heavy curtain, and hurried out against the fierce cold wind.

We talked and laughed, and talked for a while, and he came back again, but he was followed by a strange-shaped Eskimo, with a very unusual temperament, and there was no doubt that this was the wizard of the Eskimos, who was very tall, dressed in strange clothes, and painted with strange air on his face, and had words in his mouth, and it was too late for the gods to chatter.

After a brief greeting, he began to shake his head and tail, chanting words in his mouth, and holding props in his hands, which is very similar to our local Chinese goddesses and the like, it seems that witchcraft all over the world is in the same vein, and even the pretending expressions are the same.

The wizard took out a small tent made of seal intestines from his bag, A lifelike puppet and a small carved animal skin lamp, and then he carefully put the puppet and oil lamp in the small tent, after closing the tent, the wizard blew out the lamp, let us sit quietly, the atmosphere is weird and mysterious, the wizard began to sing and dance, even rap and sing, the rap kung fu to the extreme, after a while, the wizard will be in the tent lights back on, to our amazement, the puppet in the puppet actually stood up flexibly, began to walk around carelessly, it is really magical, I don't know what kind of mechanism spell was used, we passed through the translucent small tent, You can clearly see the puppets walking, it seems that this wizard is really Zhuge Liang's second, Zhuge Liang can invent an oxcart that can walk, and this wizard made a puppet that can walk, and then this strange wizard began to take care of things, pretending to relish in the puppets, muttering to himself, no one can understand, it seems that those Eskimos are no exception, they are also confused like us, as if they understand or not.

It didn't take long for the puppet to lie down, the lamp went out, and the wizard sang and danced again, and the curtain came down on this sacred ritual, and we had no idea what it meant.

However, looking at the wizard's smiling face, everything should be smooth sailing, and sure enough, listening to Xiaofei's translation is really as good as we imagined.

Then all the Eskimos in the house cheered for joy, and they brought out some precious food and gave it to the sorcerer, and after sending him out reluctantly, they began to prepare themselves for the hunting en masse.
