Chapter 67: A Miracle or a Coincidence

It is said that after Zhu Yan and Chen Lan returned to the top of the cliff, the second senior brother and the third senior brother asked about the things in the cliff cave. www.biquge.info Zhu Yan told them all the things he saw in the cave, and mentioned the mysterious altar, the red sandalwood box, and the spherical transparent stone.

After speaking, Zhu Yan took out the red sandalwood box and transparent stone. Who knows, the third senior brother Fang Dawei saw it, and immediately said that this was a Manchu shaman's thing. This surprised Zhu Yan and Chen Lan, both of whom had also come to their conclusions by studying cultivators.

It turned out that Fang Dawei only graduated from university with Zhang Zhongyi, and he had been interacting with the Manchus in the Northeast over the years, and he knew a lot about the Manchu people's writing and customs.

Just now, when he looked at the words on the red sandalwood, he recognized that it was an ancient Manchu script, and this spherical transparent stone was very much like a medium prop for the Manchu shaman's shrine. In addition, Chen Lan depicted the appearance of things scattered around the ball, which was very similar to the divine drum used by the shaman to invite the gods. Therefore, he could immediately conclude that this was the Manchu shaman's Dongding, which coincided with Zhu Yan's previous speculation.

Seeing that the third senior brother knew Manchu, Zhu Yan carefully opened the red sandalwood box, revealing a stack of jute paper. He looked closely, and the strange words on the lid of the box really had many similarities with the words on the hemp paper.

Looking at this ancient red sandalwood box, the third senior brother was also very excited, he thought that what was hidden in this box might really be some ancient shaman's secrets, even the "cultivation secrets". However, when he took the pieces of hemp paper, the expression of excitement on his face gradually dimmed.

Where is this "practice cheats"? Not even an ancient secret, this is simply a myth that has been passed down by the Manchus to this day! Although a few of them also record some of the shaman's divine arts, this is not much different from the so-called sacrificial prayer and purification rituals of the modern Manchus.

Under the urging of Zhu Yan and others, the third senior brother still roughly translated the content on the hemp paper. The text is roughly divided into four parts, the first part is the creation story, the second part is the war between the gods and demons, the third part is the story of the ancestral gods who blessed mankind, and the fourth part records some shamanic magic.

According to the creation story, there was no earth at the beginning of the universe, the heavens were connected to the water, and the water was connected to the heavens, and only the spirits of the gods moved on it. Every star in the sky corresponds to a deity. The great god was the leader of the gods, and he made a man and a woman in his own image, gave them aura, put them in a stone jar, and let them reproduce. From generation to generation, the number of people gradually increased, and the gods made the earth out of earth for mankind to habit.

Humans and animals and plants have spirits, all of which were originally given by the gods, and they dwell on the earth, which is the middle of the universe, and are divided into nine levels. The universe also has an upper realm and a lower realm, the upper realm is the heavens, there are seventeen layers, and the gods reside; The lower realm is the eight-layer netherworld, which is inhabited by all kinds of evil spirits and demons.

Originally, there was no nether realm in the universe, and it was the disciples of the great gods who rebelled and became demons to create the eight-layer underground kingdom, which is the source of all kinds of evil in the world.

The battle of gods and demons is about the fact that after the great god created man, he sent his great disciple down to earth and became the protector of mankind. And his second disciple was not convinced, so he ran down to the sky without permission, and created a group of demons in the earthly kingdom, mutilating human beings, and specifically opposing the senior brother.

When the all-knowing Great Heavenly God learned of this, he was furious and sent his junior disciple to the lower realm to assist the eldest disciple in stabbing the body of the second disciple to pieces, turning it into mountains and peaks.

After the second disciple was stabbed to death, his soul had nowhere to go, so he created a hell, an eight-story underground kingdom. He hated the human race on earth and sowed plague, greed, and wickedness among the earth.

In the third part, human beings live between the heavenly and underground realms, blessed by the gods and worshipped by demons, and only the shaman can reach the upper and lower realms and dredge the affairs of the three realms. The ancestor god Manni was a famous great shaman with great powers, who responded to requests and led his people to find the ideal place to live. The protector god Tuhulie Mafa is a god in the sky, because the demons in the earth stir up trouble and harm mankind, and is invited by the shaman to enter the world to eliminate demons and subdue demons. The god of fire, Tora Ahab, was the daughter of the great god, and when she saw that there was no fire in the world, and it was cold and winter, she stole the fire of the great god, swallowed it in her belly, and crawled to the earth. As the fire burned inside her, she was burned to the form of a half-human, half-beast.

The fourth part remembers some shamanic spells and spells, including how to channel the spirits and invite the gods, how to decorate the soul and send the soul, as well as how to divinate and pray for rain.

Zhu Yan and Chen Lan noticed that the divine drum and spirit stone were mentioned, both of which were magic weapons. Especially the spirit stone, not only can it channel spirits and souls, but also can ingest ghosts and resurrect people. However, not all shamans can use spirit stones, and only women with special physiques can awaken the spirituality in spirit stones.

It turns out that the spherical transparent stone is called the spirit stone, and in terms of function, it is really similar to the crystal ball of Western soothsayers. It seems that it is really not something that ordinary people can use, no wonder they are dizzy after watching it.

After the third senior brother finished translating, everyone fell silent. Judging from the content of the translation, this ancient book does not seem to be of much use, at least there are no secrets to speak of.

But I don't know why, Zhu Yan always feels that this matter is not so simple. Chen Lan also had a similar feeling, always feeling weird, as if it was trying to express a certain strong signal.

The two of them tasted the words of the third senior brother just now, why did the story recorded in the text always feel so familiar? Soon, they found the answer.

These stories are actually similar to mythological stories from all over the world. For example, this creation story seems to be not much different from the Bible's account of God's creation of man, except that the place where he created man to live is different. For example, the story of Torayaha, the god of fire, is very similar to Prometheus in ancient Greek mythology, and they were both punished, but in different terms.

In addition, most of the myths of various ethnic groups are derived from the "myths" of their primitive periods. Because, in the primitive tribal period, people's confusion about the world was often explained by the shamans and shamans in the tribe. These shamans and shamans communicated with the gods and obtained myths through certain religious forms. After these myths were widely disseminated, they became the myths of various peoples.

This is very thought-provoking! You must know that in the primitive period, human beings were very underdeveloped in terms of means of transportation, and it was almost unthinkable to cross continents and oceans. But in such a situation, the wizards of various primitive tribes have "practiced", and the "divine metaphors" they get are so similar, is it just a coincidence?

Chen Lan was very skeptical of her dreams for a while, was it just an illusion of her consciousness as some experts said? And underground, is there really a so-called "hell"? Is there really a "devil" in it? Is it really the source of the evil in the world?

Now she has discovered that as early as the early development of human beings, there were people who were just as conscious of "illusions" as her, and the things that came out of the "illusions" were actually very similar.

This is a chain proposition, if her psychic ability is true, then the psychic ability of the wizards of the ancient tribe is also true, and most of those ancient myths and legends are also true. Conversely, if the ancient myth is true, then her prophecy is also true.

Zhu Yan also felt that it was very magical, if it was a miracle that he and Chen Lan were able to practice, wouldn't it mean that this kind of miracle had been common in ancient times? Is the similarity of various myths and legends a miracle or a coincidence in the history of human civilization?
