Chapter 6: The Flaming Hairpin (Part II)

"Didn't you say there was something important to do?" Tang Qianlin sat directly beside Yi Mochen and asked.

Yi Mochen said: "Yes, it's being done, I'll introduce you to ......"

Before Yi Mochen finished speaking, Tang Qianlin got up and walked to the table next to him and sat down.

Li Yunfan looked at Yi Mochen: "Who is this?" Such a big temper? Your friend? ”

Yi Mochen said with a smile: "New business partner, he is a catcher. ”

"Catch?" Li Yunfan turned his head to look at Tang Qianlin, who was sitting there, "The hunt you are talking about, is it the kind of hunting on the rivers and lakes that specializes in investigating all kinds of strange things?" ”

Yi Mochen nodded: "Nonsense, besides them, who else can be called a catcher?" ”

Although Li Yunfan is not a person in the rivers and lakes, because of his father's relationship, he also knows that the most mysterious profession in the rivers and lakes is "opening the coffin in western Sichuan, driving corpses in Xiangxi, and feng shui in western Jin", that is, the person who opens the coffin, the hanging foot and the earth.

In addition to these three professions, there are also cargo chasers, hunters, and lone soldiers.

The main task of the chaser is to identify treasures, and the lone soldier is a professional meticulous work, and the hunting is to investigate all kinds of strange things, and the source of its survival income has always been a mystery, and the most important thing is that according to Li Yunfan's father, if there are only 100 people left in today's hunting, they are all about to become extinct.

Li Yunfan asked Yi Mochen with a suspicious tone: "Is he really a catch?" ”

Yi Mochen nodded: "If it's fake, I tried it, it's true, there were originally two, but one died yesterday." ”

After speaking, before Li Yunfan's words came out, Yi Mochen asked again: "By the way, do you know Qinglong Temple?" ”

Li Yunfan shook his head: "I don't know, why do you ask this?" ”

Yi Mochen looked at Tang Qianlin, who was sitting next to him, and asked, "His senior brother died because of Qinglong Temple, and before he died, he said that it was a trap." ”

At this time, Tang Qianlin called the shopkeeper, and after describing the general appearance of his senior brother Chu Lekang, he asked, "Did this person come to the store to drink yesterday?" ”

The shopkeeper immediately said: "Of course I remember, if I change to someone else, I don't think I remember, but who can forget him?" Yesterday he sat there alone, and he drank three catties of smoldering. ”

Tang Qianlin wondered: "Smoldering? ”

The shopkeeper explained: "Yes, smoldering, the spirits we brew in our store, ordinary people pour it after drinking three taels, but he actually drank three catties, which is really a lot." ”

Tang Qianlin asked again: "Has he done anything else besides drinking?" Have you ever met anyone else? ”

The shopkeeper hesitated: "Well...... this"

Yi Mochen stepped forward, took out a banknote and shook it in front of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper immediately put on a smiling face: "Yes, he has seen a woman, dressed very charmingly, very beautiful, at first glance, she is the wife of a big family." ”

Tang Qianlin said again: "Describe it." ”

The shopkeeper thought carefully: "Description? What does it mean? ”

Yi Mochen said: "It's just for you to tell me about the general appearance of that woman, how she is dressed or something." ”

The shopkeeper said: "Wearing a mink, no hat, hair is coiled, and a phoenix hairpin is inserted in the bun." ”

When he heard the phoenix hairpin, Tang Qianlin couldn't help but be shocked: "You said the phoenix hairpin?" Can you see clearly? ”

The shopkeeper said: "The hairpin is very special, fiery red, so I remember it very clearly." ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper was about to take the banknote in Yi Mochen's hand, Yi Mochen took the banknote and slapped it on the shopkeeper's head: "Do you want to take the money after saying two words?" Are you worth it? Dream on you, get out! ”

The shopkeeper walked away with his head down, and when he walked to the door of the back kitchen, he cursed Yi Mochen in a low voice.

Tang Qianlin sat there silent, and when Li Yunfan was about to step forward to talk, Yi Mochen stopped him and said in a low voice: "Now is not the time, I'll tell him when I go back, you can put his name on the roster first, his name is Tang Qianlin." ”

Li Yunfan nodded: "Okay, I have to go, I'll see you later." ”

After Li Yunfan left, Yi Mochen sat beside Tang Qianlin and asked, "Old Tang, why are you asking about that hairpin?" Do you know that woman? ”

Tang Qianlin looked at the desktop and said, "I know a woman who has that fiery red phoenix hairpin. ”

Yi Mochen asked, "Who?" ”

Tang Qianlin raised his eyes and looked at Yi Mochen: "My son is." ”

Yi Mochen said: "Your daughter-in-law?" ”

Tang Qianlin shook his head: "It's not my daughter-in-law." ”

Yi Mochen wondered: "Who the hell is your son, isn't your daughter-in-law?" ”

Tang Qianlin still shook his head: "Anyway, no, I have to find her, she must know something." ”

Tang Qianlin was about to get up as he spoke, but Yi Mochen grabbed him: "Don't worry. ”

Tang Qianlin looked at Yi Mochen: "I didn't ask you to help." ”

Yi Mochen got up and said, "I can still help with this favor, because I also know her, her name is He Chenxue, right?" ”

Tang Qianlin was extremely surprised when he heard this, and looked at Yi Mochen blankly.

Yi Mochen said with a smile: "Don't be so surprised, not only I know, but many people in Harbin know her, because she is the wife of Liu Mouzheng, the master of the Eight Phases Gate." ”

Tang Qianlin was surprised: "The wife of the master of the Eight Phases Gate? Is she married again? ”

Yi Mochen looked at Tang Qianlin with strange eyes: "Hey, how did your daughter-in-law become someone else's daughter-in-law?" ”

Tang Qianlin raised his feet and walked out, throwing down a sentence: "She is not my daughter-in-law!" ”

Yi Mochen chased out: "Your son's mother, who is not your daughter-in-law?" ”

Tang Qianlin walked out of the tavern and walked briskly on the street, but even he didn't know where he was going.

Yi Mochen quickly caught up with Tang Qianlin: "Let me ask you, your daughter-in-law's handiwork must be very good, right?" ”

Tang Qianlin stopped: "What do you want to say?" ”

Yi Mochen smiled and said, "If your daughter-in-law is not good at handwork, how can she knit such a big green hat for you to wear?" ”

Tang Qianlin was completely angry, and grabbed Yi Mochen: "If you talk nonsense again, I will abolish you." ”

Yi Mochen was still smiling, and he didn't push Tang Qianlin away: "If you want to see her, I can arrange it." ”

Tang Qianlin let go of Yi Mochen and looked at him with a suspicious gaze.

Yi Mochen sorted out his clothes: "Really, it's just a matter of one sentence." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "It's not that simple, a profiteer like you will definitely put forward conditions." ”

Yi Mochen gave Tang Qianlin a thumbs up: "Old Tang, who knows me, I really have the conditions." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Say it, hurry up." ”

Yi Mochen said: "Let's go home first, it's warm at home." ”

When he returned to Yi Mochen's mansion, Tang Qianlin couldn't wait to ask, "What are your conditions?" ”

Yi Mochen sat on the sofa: "I want to know, why did your senior brother say that Qinglong Temple is a trap?" ”

Tang Qianlin shook his head: "I don't know." ”

Yi Mochen thought for a while: "Then let me ask in a different way, is your senior brother investigating Qinglong Temple?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Yes, it is indeed investigating, and it has been investigating for ten years. ”

Yi Mochen asked again: "Why?" ”

Tang Qianlin asked him rhetorically: "Aren't you also investigating Qinglong Temple?" You also sent a team over, and for what purpose did you do it? ”

Yi Mochen said: "I suspect that the purpose of your investigation is the same as your senior brother, only two words. ”

Tang Qianlin pondered slightly: "Yes, two words can indeed be summed up. ”

Yi Mochen looked at Tang Qianlin and said, "Say it." ”

As soon as Tang Qianlin spoke, Yi Mochen also spoke at the same time, and the two said the same two words: "Shaman!" ”

What is a shaman?

Shamanism is generally known as shamanism, which has the same connotation as the early religions of mankind, but shamanism is the earliest primitive religion, also known as the original religion. Because shamanism is not created, but spontaneously generated, although there are many famous great shamans in historical records, but unlike other religions, shamanism does not have a clear founder, this sect was formed spontaneously among the primitive clans and tribes of humans.

"The earliest record of shamans is the Song Dynasty's "Three Dynasties and Northern Alliances". Yi Mochen carefully recalled, "The essence of this religion is the same as other sects, it is the belief and worship of gods, but the difference is that shamanism believes that all things are animist, and will personify all natural imaginations, such as the five natural phenomena of wind, fire, thunder, lightning and rain, they are considered to be five gods, and these five gods are inseparable from their ancestors." ”

Tang Qianlin finally sat down: "The great god of jumping in the Northeast is actually a situation of shamanism. ”

Yi Mochen nodded: "Yes." ”

Tang Qianlin thought about it for a while, and decided to test Yi Mochen with some news: "The reason why my senior brother went to Qinglong Temple is because he wanted to find ......."

Before Tang Qianlin finished speaking, Yi Mochen continued: "Shaman Spirit Palace." ”

Tang Qianlin nodded: "Yes." ”

Yi Mochen got up to leave, and came back shortly after, still holding a roll of cowhide in his hand, he unfolded the cowhide on the table, pointed to the strange words on it, and said, "Do you know these words?" ”

Tang Qianlin looked at it carefully and recognized: "It's Mongolian, I only know part of it, it seems to be talking about the soul." ”

"That's right." Yi Mochen pointed to the text on it and said, "This is a shamanic soul song, but the concept of Buddhism has been integrated into this song, so one of the words in it is a foreign language." ”

Tang Qianlin asked, "Which word?" ”

Yi Mochen pointed to one of the words and said: "This word is read 'temple', which means 'temple', and there is no such thing as a temple in shamanism." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "You explain it in detail." ”

Yi Mochen said: "I'll translate the meaning of this soul song for you first." ”

Yi Mochen looked at the words and began to read them word by word-

Now go to the temple and show the way for your soul

So that you will be reincarnated in a beautiful world smoothly and smoothly

You're really dead, don't believe it

The ashes you've stepped on can't leave your footprints

The grass you walk on never falls

Go to the earth and be reborn as a human being, and don't wander in the underworld

Come with me, the road is infinitely wide

Don't be afraid to cross the river beach, and don't be afraid of the high mountains

Come, follow me, and the right path of rebirth is bright and bright

After listening to this, Tang Qianlin said: "This doesn't seem to be the meaning of conjuring spirits, but attracting souls?" ”

Yi Mochen nodded: "That's right, the meaning of this song is to guide the deceased to accept the fact that he has died, and at the same time comfort the relatives of the deceased." ”

Tang Qianlin seemed to remember something: "When you just said that Buddhism was integrated, did you mean that Tibetan Buddhism influenced shamanism after it entered Mongolia?" ”

Yi Mochen nodded affirmatively: "That's right, after Tibetan Buddhism was introduced to Mongolia in the 16th century, it had a great impact on the native beliefs of Mongolia, and because there were many branches of shamanism, some shamans chose to compromise and began to integrate Buddhist ideas into their own scriptures, so words like temples appeared in this spiritualist song." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "As far as I know, shamans were later divided into black and white, the black shaman adhered to the original purpose, and the white shaman accepted Buddhism and began to integrate it. ”

"Yes, but there is no such thing as good and evil in black and white shamans, this song is the spiritualist song created by the white shaman, also known as the shamanic soul spell." Yi Mochen looked at Tang Qianlin and said, "In shamanism, it is believed that there are three human souls, one is the original spirit, the one that must be reincarnated, and after this soul dies, there will be a shaman to lead another pregnant woman to let her be reincarnated. ”

Tang Qianlin nodded: "What about the other two?" ”

Yi Mochen continued: "There are two left, one is the spirit of nature, which is given by nature, so it must be released to nature, and the other is the spirit of sacrifice, which is specially used to worship all things in nature." ”

Tang Qianlin hesitated for a moment: "The Spirit of Sacrifice, does this have something to do with the Shaman Spirit Palace?" ”

Yi Mochen nodded and said: "That's right, the spirit of sacrifice must be sealed, and then at a certain time, the high priest will take it to a special place to worship all things in nature, and that place is the legendary Shaman Spirit Palace, which is the place where your senior brother and I want to confirm whether it really exists." ”
