Chapter 50: Shamanic Prophecy 2
Not long after, the cloth with the sacrificial robes was crowded into the field.
In the middle of the field is a circular platform surrounded by a circle of colorful stones, but the main one is blue. Arranged in an orderly manner in the chaos.
At this time, Budu was already standing in the center of the round platform, wearing a mask with a green mouth and fangs, and the image of the mask was a bit like the Four Heavenly Kings. On top of their heads are five small skeletons, which are connected by beads. The eyebrows are like fire, and the tails of the eyebrows are rolled up to the tips of the ears. The third eye in the forehead was all open, and there was a fierce light in his eyes. The bridge of the nose is collapsed, the tip of the nose protrudes, like a cow's nose, and larger than a cow's nose, and the ears are as large as plantains, and the earlobes hang down to the shoulders. The big mouth was open, the sharp fangs were showing out of the lips, and the beards on both sides of the mouth were slightly curled, stretching to the sides. There are five dots from the chin to the ears, and under the neck is a long cloth printed with totems, with yellow, black, cyan and light green vertical lines on both sides of the cloth, and white lotus lines on a red background in the middle, extending from the neck to the ankles.
Yan Muqing secretly poked Naren, "Wearing this mask, how can you breathe?" ”
The answer to her was "shh
The sacred drum, which is an important ritual instrument of the shaman, is indispensable, and it is said that it is only with the divine drum that the gods can be invited. Genghis Khan would ask a shaman to perform divination and pray for the blessing of immortality before each expedition, so shamanic culture also occupies a pivotal position in the history of the Mongolian people.
Budu holds the shaman drum in his left hand, the drum side is made of thin wood baking and bending, or round or oval, the drum surface is a single-sided drum made of wolf, deer, sheep, horse, cow and other animal skins, some of the drum surface is the color of the animal skin itself, and some will draw the image of the animal worshiped and worshiped by the clan, such as snakes, turtles, frogs, etc., some are portraits of the main sacrifice gods, and Budu is holding a totem that vaguely looks like a snake. In the center of the back of the drum is a cross-shaped iron bar, which is used as a gripper. A few copper coins near the drum frame made a crisp sound as the cloth moved.
In his right hand, he holds a drumstick, which is made of wood or bamboo, but also made of animal legs such as deer and roe deer, and a section of the drumstick is decorated with strips of silk cloth of various colors, symbolizing the colorful divine light of the sun.
In the past, the degree of ritual activity was used for divination, but now it can be said to be a manifestation of cultural beliefs, similar to the temple fairs in the Central Plains. There are also tourist areas that use it as a means of attracting guests with unique folk customs.
Today's ritual was invited by the rancher to divinate the auspiciousness for Yinyue's comeback, and the herdsmen in the depths of the grassland are still full of admiration for the shaman. It is not difficult to see the importance of the Silver Moon and the great confidence that people have in it.
A raging fire was already burning in the center of the round platform, and the cloth was singing and dancing around the fire, what was being sung, Yan Muqing felt that no one could understand, and Hao Sijia next to him also showed a confused look. The left hand kept shaking the drum, and the copper coins in the drum made a crisp sound, singing a piece of beating the drum with a drumstick, and the drum surface came out with a "humming" sound, low and long. Singing, reciting, dancing, and playing, repeating these four links, I don't know how many times I circled around the fire, the fire gradually became smaller, and the sound of singing gradually stopped.
When the flames were all extinguished, Bu Du took the shoulder blades of the deer that had been prepared in advance in his hand, with his side facing down, his mouth close to the upper end of the bone handle, and prayed in a low voice, even if Yan Muqing stood in the front row, he didn't understand what the shaman was talking about. After praying for a few minutes, he put the part of the broad side of the shoulder blade in his hand on the charcoal fire and roasted it, and after a while it was taken out, and the shaman Bembu spat on it, only to hear a "sting" sound, and a puff of white smoke came out. Then there was the sound of bones cracking, visible to the naked eye, with a few cracks in the bones.
The people around him, including Naren, shouted and some even threw hats into the air, throwing everything that could be thrown, Yan Muqing and Hao Sijia, as well as a few unknown people not far away, were startled by this battle, what does this mean?
Pulled Naren, who was a little overexcited, "What's the situation?" ”
Naren patiently explained with the excitement in her heart.
It turned out that the result of this divination was good luck. The horizontal stripes of the bones are not broken or missing, and the meaning is good, indicating that the desired thing can be achieved, or that the thing that is about to be carried out is feasible, and the meaning of good fortune is good.
"Isn't it just that Yinyue can continue to participate in professional competitions, why are you so excited?"
"Shouldn't you celebrate a good outcome no matter what?" Naren said it for granted
"Your faith, you have the final say"
"Don't believe it, this one works. Usually whoever loses a sheep, whose child is frightened... If you look for a wizard, Budu will definitely be able to give you a good look," Naren said with a serious look.
Yan Muqing was not interested in listening to it, she didn't believe it at all, after watching the main ceremony, it could be regarded as an increase in knowledge, and the rest didn't want to watch it, so she pulled Hao Sijia out of the crowd.
took out his mobile phone and wanted to send a message to Lu Anming, but when he saw that there was no signal, he had to give up.
The work is over, I only feel that the nerves in my whole body are relaxed, Ulan is gone, no one comes to trouble her, as if there is no pursuit in an instant, I want to sleep well.
"I want to go to sleep for a while, you can move on your own," Yan Muqing said to Hao Scarlett
"Okay, you can go and rest for a while."
"Hey, you can go and find Muren, I haven't seen him in the past two days, what are you busy with" suddenly remembered this person who seemed to have disappeared for a long time.
"Oh, tell me the next day that if you don't have a car, he'll go to the station next door, it seems that there is a relative."
"Ao, have you contacted us, we'll leave early tomorrow morning"
"Got in touch and came back before dinner"
"Okay, I'm going to sleep for a while, and suddenly I feel a little sleepy."
"Do you want me to accompany you, by the way, send Brother Lu a video of the two of us sleeping together"
Scarlett is going to do something.
"Brother Lu will be fine at that time, your brother Li should come to me with a five-meter-long Guan Gong's big knife."
The two joked a few more times and then separated.
Yan Muqing went back to the room to rest, and Hao Sijia didn't know where to play.
The sleepiness came very suddenly, Yan Muqing arrived in the room and fell asleep on the bed.
This sleep is very unsound, always dreaming.
I dreamed of a lot of people, a lot of things. She was in the dream, but she felt like she was really participating in the dream as a bystander.
dreamed of Lu Anming, the wedding of two people, a white wedding dress, and there were many guests, but Yan Muqing didn't see anyone she knew for a long time, and her parents didn't show up. Later, Lu Anming's figure gradually faded, and finally disappeared, and the guests in the venue were gone, and only Yan Muqing himself was left in the huge wedding scene, oh, no, there was a bystander "Yan Muqing".
Yan Muqing, who was wearing a wedding dress, anxiously looked around, and kept shouting Lu Anming and Xiao Ming, mixed with a few mom and dad. The people in the scene rummaged through the wedding scene and did not see a single figure, they all disappeared out of thin air, she carried the hem of the wedding dress, ran wildly, only ran forward, and did not notice the rushing car, the bystander "Yan Muqing" shouted loudly "Don't run, there is a car, don't run, there is a car..." , I felt that my heart was in my throat, but fortunately, the car stopped in time. In her wedding dress, she just fell to the ground, and after coming back to her senses, she still kept running forward.
She wanted to let herself give up in the dream, don't look for it, but no matter how she shouted, she still ran forward in a wedding dress, and gradually the scene changed, the surrounding white expanse, the grass under her feet, a piece of turquoise extended into the distance, the self was still running, tears cost the bridal makeup, the shoes were lost, and the arm did not know where to draw a line, oozing blood outwards. Ahead, the place that the eyes can see is a cliff, there is no way, the bystanders are even more anxious, still shouting and shouting to lift her, "Don't run, you will fall to death if you run over", but she still can't hear it in a wedding dress, her anxious eyes are full of tears, and her voice is hoarse "Don't go, don't go", she wants to pull herself who is running in a wedding dress, but there seem to be countless pairs of invisible big hands behind her to pull her and stop her from taking a step forward.
Closer and closer to the cliff, closer and closer, the man still did not stop, struggling forward. When he arrived at the edge of the cliff, Yan Muqing felt that he couldn't shout anymore, and tears were like pouring rain, washing his cheeks and then flowing to his neck. At this time, he had already taken one foot in the dream, Yan Muqing closed his eyes nervously, his hands were clenched, and the force was too strong, so that the hands that were clenched into fists were trembling... Nervously yelled "Ahh
With this "ah", followed by a "poof", Yan Muqing opened his eyes and looked at a somewhat unfamiliar environment, a little unclear So, who am I and where am I? Instantly closed his eyes, shook his head, opened his eyes again, his eyes were blurred, looked at the quilt wrapped in himself, and then looked at the carpet, I, fell to the ground.
got up quickly and looked around the room, fortunately Hao Scarlett hasn't come back yet, otherwise it would be a big shame, who is so big and still falls out of bed when he sleeps?
patted the dust that did not exist on his body, climbed into bed again, lay down, his head hurt a little, his mood was not beautiful, his irritable little temper came up again, he picked up the pillow next to him and threw it hard, and hit the chair not far away impartially, and the chair legs rubbed the ground and made a "squeak" sound, which made people goosebumps.
Cover her head with a quilt, and start to carp in it, and then suddenly stop, stunned, the feeling in the dream is too strong, and the emotions of the two people are imposed on her alone, and the kind of empathy is particularly empathetic. Anxiety, fear, overwhelm to find someone. Knowing the danger in front of you but doing nothing about it, sad...
I wanted to relax, but I let such a dream go to Huo Huo.
Get up, clean up, and go out for a walk. Maybe it's better to look at the vast grasslands.
As soon as I went out, I met an old man in a Mongolian robe, neither of them paid attention, and their shoulders touched together, and several copper plates in the hands of the old man fell in response. Yan Muqing hurriedly apologized
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay?"
"It's okay," the old man went down to pick up the fallen copper plates, and when he saw the arrangement of the copper plates on the ground, he was stunned.
"Huh!"
