Chapter 13: Impeachment of the Shaman

Jurchen, Wanyan tribe, press out of Hushui City, it has been nearly ten days since the arrival of the envoy of the Liao State, it is in the afternoon, the season has entered the depths of winter, the weather is beginning to turn cold, it snowed a few days ago, the temperature has reached below zero, and the ground has a thick layer of ice,

People have long forgotten about this terrible demon (Liao envoys and soldiers), and began to live the same peaceful life as before, and the city is full of smoke, and in this oppressive life, sometimes it is a good thing to forget.

At this moment, the patriarch of the Wanyan tribe, Wanyan Impeachment Libo, was walking towards an inconspicuous small house next to the altar in the city.

He knocked lightly on the door and said politely, "I'm the impeachment bowl, is the shaman there?" ”

The voice of a young and somewhat immature boy came, "It turned out to be Uncle Libo, where is Daddy?" I'll open the door for you. ”

Soon the door opened, and he walked in, and as soon as he entered the door, a young man stood at the door, he was 1.7 meters tall, yellow skin, black eyes, sturdy, wearing a deerskin shoulder, revealing the tendons and flesh on his arms, he was covered with dust, he had just finished making firewood, and this person was a godsend who had just finished cutting firewood on the mountain.

Seeing this boy, he pressed his shoulder, laughed and said, "God, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have grown taller and stronger, like a real Jurchen warrior." ”

Tianci was a little nervous and embarrassed, after all, the person in front of him was the hero he admired the most since he was a child, but he lowered his head and smiled shyly.

And at this moment, the impeachment bowl has entered the house, the room is very warm, the two torches are shining, illuminating the room, and the firewood on the stove is burning. On the walls around the house were several drums painted with various patterns, as well as ritual clothes.

Tianci also walked in.

Tianci is a mysterious child, speaking of Tianci's life experience, it is said that it was more than ten years ago in the winter, when the shaman was not blind, and looked young and handsome, that day the shaman went out to do something, the snow poured down, the shaman walked on the road, suddenly saw a soldier's body in front of him, the soldier's body was half covered by snow, half exposed to the snow, and the body was curled and lying on the snow.

The shaman was startled, pulled out the saber at his waist, and walked cautiously, only to see that the soldier was wearing a suit of armor, which was neither the clothing of the Liao soldiers nor the Jurchen people.

At this time, the shaman suddenly thought of a terrible result, could it be that the soldiers of that distant country, the Song State, which is said to be a vast country, comparable to the Liao State, which ruled all races.

At this time, the shaman unconsciously thought in his heart, could it be that the troops of the Song Kingdom were coming, the shaman did not dare to think about it, and turned around to leave here, but suddenly heard a baby's cry, and the voice was so loud. The shaman hesitated, but hurriedly dug the soldier's body out of the snow, only to find that the soldier was holding something in his arms, which was wrapped in three layers of cotton cloth inside and outside, and the soldier held it so tightly that he would not let go even when he died.

The shaman took great difficulty to pick up the baby from the soldier's hand, opened the cotton cloth that showed a small slit, and between it was a chubby baby looking at him, with lovely eyes, which made people's hearts soften, and the baby still touched the shaman's face with his little hands.

At this time, a token-like thing fell, the shaman picked up the token, looked at it, and there was a word on it surrounded by some beautiful patterns, but the shaman did not know it, but the shaman finally put him away, he knew that this token might be related to the child's background.

The shaman didn't know how to see the child at first sight, but he liked it so much.

He thought to himself that the god of nature he believed in had given him a child, so he named the child a godsend. More than ten years have passed, and the shaman raised the child to adulthood, and there is today's godsend.

At this time, a somewhat hoarse and deep voice came from the room: "God, who is coming?" ”

Impeachment said with a smile: "Shaman, I am Impeachment." He walked into the inner room.

The inner room is not very large, in the house, an old man sits on the kang, there is a small table on the kang, on which all kinds of strange gadgets are slowed down, the old man is dressed in a gray coarse cloth clothes, his withered face is full of wrinkles, there are only a few hairs left on his head, his eyes are completely blind, and his figure is very thin.

The shaman said in a deep voice, "It turned out to be the patriarch. ”

Impeachment hurriedly bowed and said, "Lord Shaman, I have come this time to seek answers from the great nature gods. ”

The shaman nodded and said, "I know what you mean, you can say it." ”

"Now that the situation is turbulent again, will there be a war?" What will be my fate if there is a war? ”

The shaman smiled and said, "You know what to do, don't you?" ”

Impeachment smiled, took out a dagger from his bosom, and slashed it on his finger, and a drop of blood flowed out.

The shaman reached out and touched the blood on the impeached bowl's hand, and licked the hand stained with the impeachment bowl on his tongue.

Then the shaman closed his eyes, his eyes turned white, and his mouth was full of words, and after a long time, he returned to normal.

The shaman sighed and said, "Everyone is born with their own mission, and the gods of nature tell me that the flames of war will be stained, and you are the beginning of the war, but not the end of the war.

This is your destiny, you were born in the flames and will die in the flames, and in this war the Jurchens will rise in the flames, and your souls will be in the temple with the great gods of nature, and your deeds will be sung by posterity. ”

He placed his right hand on his left shoulder, bowed reverently, and said, "Thank you, the great God of Nature, for giving me a glorious mission. ”

The shaman nodded and said, "What other questions do you have?" ”

Impeachment Libo thought for a while and said: "My Jurchen believes in the god of nature, but why were we slaughtered by the people of the Liao country, and why did the god of nature watch all this happen? I don't understand, why didn't the great gods of nature help us, save our people? ”

The shaman said: "Sometimes, the fate of man is determined by himself, and the gods can only look at all this from afar and give the truth instructions, but whether they can succeed or not depends on the strength of man, and the gods have told me that the day of the rise of the Jurchens is not far away, and the flames of war will guide the Jurchens to glory." ”

Impeachment said, "Then can I see this day?" ”

Sa said with deep satisfaction: "Everyone comes into this world, everyone has a mission, you are no exception, follow the will of the gods, complete your mission, you may be in the temple with the great god of nature to witness the glory of the Jurchens." ”

He bowed solemnly and said, "Thank you to the great god of nature." ”

Impeachment stood up and said, "Thank you, shaman." ”

The shaman said, "No, it's my responsibility, you don't have to worry, remember that God can only predict your fate, and the real fate needs to be changed by yourself." ”

The corner of his mouth smiled and said: "It's okay, this fate is also the fate of the Yan family, either to be the king of the world, or to die on the battlefield, the horse leather shroud, there is no third choice." ”

The shaman smiled, but there was admiration in his heart, if this Jurchen world talks about heroes, it must be the Wanyan family, but he didn't say anything.

After a while, he said: "By the way, this child is a good child, and he has reached the age of learning the rite of passage." ”

The shaman shouted, "Come here, God." ”

Tianci quickly ran in from the outhouse and said, "Abba, you called me?" ”

The shaman smiled lovingly and said, "Heaven, you are not too young, and it is time for you to reach the age of the rite of passage, and I hope that you will become a brave and invincible warrior in the future." ”

Impeachment was stunned for a moment and said, "Back then, didn't you say that you would let Tianci take over your class and be a shaman?" It is up to you to teach it yourself, so how can there be a coming-of-age ceremony established to train warriors? ”

The shaman smiled bitterly: "Originally, I had this plan, but I have seen his fate, he is not the fate of being a shaman, his fate is greater, his fate is in the flames of war, he will become a hero who stands up to the sky, not a shaman." ”

Impeachment nodded.

Tianci looked at the shaman and said, "Daddy, you mean that I will become a warrior in the future?" ”

The shaman stroked the head of the heavenly gift with withered hands and said, "Yes, you will become a great warrior." ”

Tianci said a little melancholy: "Abba, then I can't be by your side to take care of you." ”

The shaman smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just find a few servants, you have more important missions to complete." ”

Impeachment also smiled: "What kind of person is your father, he is a shaman, if he needs to be greeted, I don't know how many people in Hushui City want to go." You can rest assured. ”

He patted the shaman on the shoulder and said, "Lord Shaman, take care, I'll go first." ”

The shaman nodded and said, "Patriarch, let's go." ”

With that, the impeachment bowl left.

Inside the house, Tianci said to the shaman, "Daddy, can't I really be a shaman?" I think shamans are very powerful, you have saved so many people, you can also predict the future. ”

The shaman nodded and said in a hoarse voice: "No, everyone is born in the world, and the great nature gods will give him a different mission, this is not your mission, you have to accept it, from tomorrow, you go to training." ”

Tianci nodded obediently.

The shaman said, "I'm sleepy, I'm going to sleep, go out"
