One of the origins of shamanism is because of the primitive hunting culture, all shamanic beliefs, and all taboos in life are all related to the object of hunting, that is, wild animals.

Whether it is the Hezhe people who fish and hunt, or the Oroqen, Dahaner, and Mongolian peoples who mainly hunt in the forest, and even the Manchu and Xibe peoples who later turned into farmers, they are all the inheritance of hunting culture.

The areas inhabited by the northern peoples in the era, whether it is forests or grasslands, are inhabited by all kinds of animals, so they have been associated with animals from a very early age, so that they also have enough knowledge of all kinds of animals, know how to deal with all kinds of fierce beasts, and also know the status of these beasts in the natural world, and enshrine them on the throne of the gods, and hold the relationship with their ancestors, and sanctify them.

In addition to the bears and tigers that are most worshipped in shamanism, there are also a number of animals that are divided into mythical beasts, such as the leopard.

Ma Yanqing stood in front of the coffin and said: "I have heard stories about the heroes of my ancestors who killed the leopard since I was a child. ”

When Ni Xiaowan heard this, she couldn't help but be happy: "Lovely god? It's funny. ”

Ma Yanqing looked back at Ni Xiaowan, Tang Qianlin coughed, Ni Xiaowan hurriedly returned to normal, but at this time, Ni Xiaowan thought of the fat cat Jelly Bean at home.

Ma Yanqing looked at Kang Tianji behind Tang Qianlin: "Let me tell you a legend, a long time ago, in the Winterhara tribe, a protective god was called Adag, and this god was the God of the Money Leopard. His father was a leopard, and his mother was a beautiful girl from the tribe of Winterhara, who died of illness at the age of 18, and her parents wrapped her body in birch bark and hung it on a tree, begging the god Abu Kain to take her away. Later, the girl was rescued by the leopard in the mountain, and got married, and gave birth to Adag. The child was born and could walk three days after birth, and he was ...... with a leopard face."

When he said this, everyone couldn't help but look at Kang Tianji, who had a vigilant face.

"Not only that, Adag was born with divine powers, and he grew faster than ordinary human children, when Adag's parents were summoned to the heavens by the gods to become the god of the mountain, Adag's father gave him his leopard skin, telling him that hundreds of black flowers on the skin can subdue the demons, and when he uses 99 flowers, swallow the last one, and he can sit on the leopard skin and ascend to heaven." Ma Yanqing refocused his gaze on Tang Qianlin, "Later, Adag and the demon king Yale continued to fight, almost exhausted the black flowers on the leopard skin, in order to defeat the demon fire in Yalu, he begged the gods to rain heavily, but the heavy rain led to floods and flash floods, Yaluli played tricks to make the people think that Adag did it on purpose, and then rained cold air, turning the flood into ice, in order to eliminate the iceberg, Adag had to use up the last black flower, so he could not ascend to heaven, so he had to wrap his father's leopard skin and turn into a leopard. ”

After listening to this, Tang Qianlin didn't ask a question, but said, "You still haven't finished speaking." ”

Ma Yanqing frowned and said: "Many years ago, I once heard from my father that a flag guard once came to him, hoping that he would hand over a map of his family, which recorded the burial place of our Ma Jia ancestors, and not far from there, there was the legendary leopard skin ...... with divine powers."

Ni Xiaowan asked, "What is a flag guard?" ”

Ma Yanqing explained: "Let's put it this way, the distant relatives who belong to the Eight Banners, the difference between the main family and the separate family, do you understand?" They have always been more radical, and when the Sun Thieves made a revolution, they advocated killing all the revolutionaries, but they failed again and again, and then turned their attention to the study of divine powers, which my father thought was nonsense, but Hu Qi told my father that they were half successful. ”

Tang Qianlin asked: "What does it mean to be half successful?" ”

"They found the remnants of Evil Sa and used the power of Evil Sa to cultivate leopard slaves." Ma Yanqing said this, constantly shaking his head, "The leopard slave is a force founded by Taizu before entering the customs, and it is said that the army founded by Taizu is composed of people who only know how to kill and are tireless, and these people are handed over to special personnel for training after they are born, so that they can be with leopards, wolves and other animals, and they can be one against ten, but that is just a legend, after all, I have never seen the existence of this army in the records, but my father said that he saw the leopard slave with his own eyes......"

Tang Qianlin was taken aback: "See it with your own eyes?" ”

Ma Yanqing nodded, remembering his father's memories -

The flag guard took Ma Yanqing's father on a long journey to the shaman's burial place, pointed to a boy who looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old tied to an iron pillar, and then released some of the captured people and told them that if they could kill the boy, they would be let live.

But the result of the matter was completely unexpected, the child killed fifteen masters with his bare hands under the premise of being bound by iron chains and using his bare hands, and almost all of them were fatal with one blow.

After hearing this, Tang Qianlin hurriedly asked, "Then what?" ”

Ma Yanqing said: "When my father came back, he burned the map, and made me swear that I would never cooperate with the Banner, because they were cultivating demons, and these demons would devour the whole world sooner or later, because he saw with his own eyes that the child was gnawing on their corpses after killing those people." ”

Speaking of this, everyone turned their eyes to Kang Tianji again, and everyone was thinking about whether this child was really a monster born from the combination of man and leopard?

Tang Qianlin thought for a while and asked, "Is the flag guard also looking for the Shaman Spirit Palace?" ”

Ma Yanqing said: "The flag guard said, the method of cultivating leopard slaves comes from the Shaman Spirit Palace, but never say anything else, unless my father uses power and financial resources to help them, after my father burned the map, he was also assassinated by them who were angry and ashamed, which is also one of the reasons why I want to find the Shaman Spirit Palace, in addition to restoring our Manchu world, is to avenge my father and kill these rebellious ministers and thieves!" ”

Yi Mochen said beside him: "To restore the world of the Manchu Dynasty, is it okay to daydream?" Lord Ma, Boss Ma, be sober, what era is it now. ”

Ma Yanqing pointed at Yi Mochen and said, "Yi Mochen, don't forget your identity, don't you know who you are?" ”

Ma Yanqing's words surprised everyone.

Tang Qianlin said: "It turns out that you have always known that the Yi family is Manchurian? ”

"Of course! That's why I deliberately made you two acquainted! Ma Yanqing said this, but shook his head again and said, "However, I have never figured out who told me the news that you came to Guanwai." ”

When Tang Qianlin heard this, he immediately asked: "I also want to ask you about this, how did you know that day that my senior brother and I would meet there, so you deliberately asked Boss Yi to go there?" ”

Ma Yanqing said: "A long time ago, I met with your senior brother, but he rejected my proposal, but I didn't attack him, because I know very well that you don't have any selfish intentions to hunt and investigate these things, so your senior brother only helps me, there is no threat, and before your senior brother had an accident, I once received a news from an unknown source, which told me that your senior brother will die, and the person who will replace your senior brother will be you, and also told me where your senior brother and you will finally meet." ”

Tang Qianlin shook his head: "It's illogical, even if you know, why are you so sure that I will go to find the Shaman Spirit Palace?" Will you also cooperate with Yi Mochen? ”

Ma Yanqing said: "To tell you the truth, I just wanted to see you in person at first, but the news told me Yi Mochen's identity, so I tried my best to investigate the ancestors of the Yi family, and found that it was not from Guannei Hunan that I migrated here as rumored, plus you had no relatives in Harbin at the time, and Yi Mochen has always been interested in the Shaman Spirit Palace, so I decided to give it a try, but I didn't expect this move to be right." ”

Ni Xiaowan walked up to Tang Qianlin and said, "Uncle Shi, the person who gave the news to Lord Ma, I think it must be the one behind the scenes, right?" ”

Tang Qianlin nodded: "It should be him, there can be no one else." ”

Ma Yanqing stepped forward and asked, "What are you going to do?" And what to do with this child? ”

"Since this matter has something to do with the Shaman's Spirit Palace, then I have an excuse to go to Hailar again, as for this kid." Tang Qianlin looked at Kang Tianji, "I'll hide him first, I must not let him fall into the hands of the Japanese, since this child will grow up quickly when he eats raw food, let him grow up a little more." ”

Ma Yanqing exclaimed, "What do you want to do?" ”

Tang Qianlin raised his hand and said: "Don't worry, I know what to do, I won't do anything hurtful, as long as he grows up, he should be able to deceive those Japanese, and I will find a way when the time comes." ”

Ma Yanqing still disagreed: "You are too risky!" It's going to kill us! ”

Tang Qianlin ignored Ma Yanqing, but asked Kang Tianji: "Tianji, let me tell you, Grandpa Yue is dead, there are many people looking for you outside, those are bad people, after finding you, they will kill you, you only have one way left now, and that is to follow me." ”

Kang Tianji shook his head: "I don't know you." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "It's not important, the important thing is that if you don't follow me, you will die." ”

Kang Tianji unexpectedly replied: "I won't die!" Grandpa Yue said, we will never die, we are gods! ”

"God?" Tang Qianlin pressed the mechanism on his wrist and popped out the hidden phoenix blade, "Do you know what a god is?" ”

Kang Tianji obviously had a vague understanding of the word "god", and he didn't know how to answer for a long time.

At this moment, Tang Qianlin suddenly made a move, using the Tibetan Phoenix Blade to make a cut on Kang Tianji's arm, and blood suddenly gushed out.

Kang Tianji didn't seem to feel the pain, just turned his head to look at his wound.

Tang Qianlin pointed to his wound and said, "Did you see it?" You are just like us, you are a human being, not a god, and God can easily defeat man, are you sure that you can overcome me? ”

When Kang Tianji heard this, he raised his eyes viciously and looked at Tang Qianlin.

Tang Qianlin stepped forward and said: "Let's fight with our bare hands, if I win against you, I have to listen to me, and I can't go back." ”

Kang Tianji gritted his teeth and said, "Don't regret it!" ”

Ni Xiaowan stepped forward and said, "Uncle Shi! ”

Tang Qianlin raised his hand and motioned for Ni Xiaowan not to come over.

Ma Yanqing whispered to Ni Xiaowan: "Your uncle is using the method of taming the beast to deal with Kang Tianji. ”

At this moment, Kang Tianji is indeed like a fried leopard.

"Get out of the way." Tang Qianlin stood still, "Tianji, let's start, you take the lead." ”

Kang Tianji roared and pounced directly on Tang Qianlin.

Tang Qianlin stood on his feet, raised his hand and grabbed Kang Tianji's arms, and directly threw him to the ground.

After Kang Tianji landed, he got up like a whirlwind and attacked Tang Qianlin, but Tang Qianlin stepped on his arms when he raised his feet.

Tang Qianlin looked down at Kang Tianji: "Do you accept it?" ”

"Not convinced!" Kang Tianji shouted angrily, turned over and retreated, and kept running back and forth around, like a leopard looking for a gap in his prey.
