Tang Qianlin and Ni Xiaowan got up and looked at the other side curiously.

Ni Xiaowan said: "Why are there people here? Where do they come from? Or is it amazing that they've been living here all along? ”

Tang Qianlin nodded and said, "After coming here, everything that happened was so magical and incredible, completely subverting my previous perception of this world. ”

Ye Da, who had just fallen asleep, also walked to the river when he heard the sound and came to the two of them.

Ye Da looked at the other side and said, "Old Tang, is there really someone here?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Yes, I saw them in the evening." ”

Ye Da and Ni Xiaowan were stunned.

Ye Da hurriedly asked, "What are the people like here?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "It's nothing special, it's the same ...... as us."

As he spoke, Tang Qianlin recounted his experience in the afternoon.

After hearing this, Ye Da touched his chin and said, "It sounds like these people are dressed like the bones in the river in the bronze grove above. ”

Ni Xiaowan said: "Yes, is it a kind of martyrdom?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "It won't be a burial, and this is not a tomb." According to Liu Mouzheng, the above is a place that provides nutrients, and the Tiangong Pillar converts the four substances in the river into some kind of nutrients to maintain this layer of ecology, but strangely, he doesn't want me to have any contact with the people here, and he is angry. ”

Ye Dadao: "What about his reason?" ”

Ni Xiaowan was silent.

Tang Qianlin and Ye Da looked at Ni Xiaowan, and Ni Xiaowan said, "Don't look at me, I don't know." ”

Tang Qianlin thought about it, and finally told the two of them what Liu Mouzheng said that everyone else would die one after another.

Ye Da and Ni Xiaowan were shocked after hearing this, because they all knew that Liu Mouzheng had indeed said a lot of things, but Ni Xiaowan, who knew the inside story, was convinced of Liu Mouzheng.

Ni Xiaowan was silent, turned to leave, and walked towards the camp.

Ye Da wanted to stop Ni Xiaowan, but was stopped by Tang Qianlin.

Tang Qianlin shook his head at Ye Da and said, "Forget it, don't be strong, Xiaowan has her difficulties." ”

Ye Dadao: "But, why are we the only ones who survived?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "I don't know, I didn't plan to say it, because no matter whether this matter is true or not, I don't want to cause everyone's panic, and Liu Mouzheng said that he can't reveal the mystery until the last moment, let's go, it's time to go back and rest, and I have to continue to rush tomorrow." ”

Ye Da looked at the riverbank: "Aren't you curious?" Don't want to know what the hell is going on here? Now is an opportunity for us to find out. ”

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

Ye Da frowned: "Do you really believe what Liu Mouzheng said?" ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Whether it's true or not, I don't want to take risks, it's okay for me to take risks, but I don't want to take other people's lives." ”

Ye Da said: "Okay, then I'll go alone." ”

Ye Da said, made a simple preparation, and prepared to cross the river, Tang Qianlin stepped forward and grabbed his arm: "Ye Da, don't do anything superfluous." ”

Ye Da said: "I have to figure out what's going on here, I don't want to be led by the nose, and I also want to figure out where I'm from, Tang Qianlin, have you thought about it?" There are people living here, what if I came from here? ”

Tang Qianlin was stunned, yes, what Ye Da said made sense.

The clue I got before only said that he and Ye Da were brought out of the Shaman Spirit Palace, and now they found that there are people living here, does this mean that he and Ye Da were originally people here?

"Let's go." Ye Da looked across the river, "Maybe the answer is not far away." ”

Tang Qianlin glanced back in the direction of the camp and finally decided to cross the river with Ye Da.

While the two crossed the river, Liu Mouzheng, Jin Gusi and Ni Xiaowan appeared on the bank of the river.

Jinguth sighed, "I finally went." ”

Liu Mouzheng frowned: "There is still no way to stop it." ”

Ni Xiaowan said: "Why do you say that we will all die? ”

Liu Mouzheng just glanced at Jin Gusi, and Jin Gusi raised his hand and knocked Ni Xiaowan unconscious.

Liu Mouzheng then said: "I'll follow them, and you guard the others." ”

Jin Gusi said: "Isn't it okay if I don't follow you?" ”

Liu Mouzheng said: "It's okay, I can probably handle it." ”

"Probably?" Jin Gusi picked up Ni Xiaowan and turned around and walked towards the camp, "I rarely hear you use uncertain words. ”

Liu Mouzheng raised his eyes to look at the five evil stars in the sky, jumped up, easily jumped to the other side of the river, and after standing still, quietly drilled into the grass.

After Tang Qianlin and Ye Da walked in the jungle for a long time, they pushed aside the huge grass and finally saw people singing and dancing in a clearing.

These people were dressed in coarse linen clothes and wore shamanic masks, and they sang some kind of song there.

After hearing the ballad, Tang Qianlin and Ye Da glanced at each other, and both of them could understand it, because the ballad was sung in shamanic ciphers, and the words spoken by the young man lying on the ground in the afternoon were also in shamanic ciphers.

Tang Qianlin said: "The songs they sing are very strange. ”

Ye Dadao: "It's a blessing." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Blessing words? What is that? ”

Ye Da said: "That is, the prayers and blessings of the older generation of shamans to the younger shamans. ”

Tang Qianlin looked at the campfire and listened to the song that was sung over and over again—

May you be the chief of the seventy shamans,

Awarded the title of Great Shaman.

May you be the leader of the ninety shamans,

Gain the glory of the Ikh Shaman. (Ikh Shaman: Meaning Great Shaman)

Put on your colored clothes,

to eliminate the plagues that are lingering.

Do good deeds for the toiling people,

Serve them religiously.

Put on your helmet,

to drive out all kinds of evils.

Do more good deeds for the poor,

Obey Abba's teachings.

Holding a drum in his left hand and a whip in his right hand,

Go and conquer all the wicked and walk the whole world.

……

Tang Qianlin said: "Could it be that they are welcoming the new shaman?" ”

Before Ye Da could answer, Liu Mouzheng quietly approached from behind, and said at the same time: "It's not." ”

The two were stunned for a moment, and turned their heads to look at Liu Mouzheng.

Liu Mou was looking at the people around the campfire: "They are just chanting songs about shamans, hoping to get the attention of the so-called gods in this way. ”

Ye Dadao: "God's concern? ”

Liu Mouzheng said: "That's right, God's attention, these people say it's good, they are the residents here, it's not good, it's just slaves, slaves who don't have any power, and they can't even control life and death, but they are very proud, they think they are God's people, in my eyes, they are just slaves controlled by some so-called faith." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "What do you say? ”

Liu Mouzheng said: "Why is it shamanism, have you thought about it?" In terms of the ideas of most people in the world today, shamanism is either a dance of gods or a simple superstitious activity, but why are shamanic churches prevalent in these places? The reason is simple, it is because of primitive worship, and these places are often too far away from outside civilizations. ”

Shamans are probably the oldest profession in the world, and the profession of shaman includes many people, in today's terms, they can be doctors, psychiatrists, soldiers, prophets, priests, priests and even politicians.

Most of the behaviors of ancient shamans seem to be just fixed rituals and fixed symbols, but in fact these rituals and symbols contain a kind of spiritual soothing, with the effect of stimulating and encouraging, a kind of primitive hypnosis of the human subconscious.

Of course, this is much the same as other religions.

Liu Mouzheng said: "For primitive society, there are many things that need stability and protection, these things are important conditions for the formation of this simple society, such as physical health, the source of prey, the prosperity of future generations, etc., the shaman plays the role of a guardian in this process, and gradually forms a unique position, take what you see in front of you, in this tribal society, there is a leader, but the leader is also subordinate to the shaman, do you know what the reason is?" ”

Ye Da said: "Because shamans are the closest people to God? ”

Liu Mouzheng said: "Yes, all the actions of the shaman are to protect his tribe and clan, he is both a guide and a protector, so the shaman must have insight and knowledge, know what others know, and more importantly, the shaman has the ability to communicate with the gods, that is, the so-called spokesmen of the gods among mortals." ”

In primitive societies, shamans were indispensable in their survival, from what people believed to be soul reincarnation, procreation, growth, work, and family, all the way to wrestling with the natural world, constantly surviving, and dying.

It can even be said that a shaman can also be a poet, a dancer, a singer, a painter, and so on, in short, an artist.

Tang Qianlin asked: "I just want to know now, what's going on here?" ”

Liu Mouzheng said: "Do you want to know? Then ask him. ”

Liu Mouzheng pointed at Ye Da and said, "He knows, because his family is the shaman here." ”

Ye Da was shocked: "What? My family is the shaman here? ”

Liu Mouzheng changed his words again: "No, it should be said that Yi Mochen's family is not yours, from an objective point of view, you and Yi Mochen belong to the same person, it is really troublesome to explain, if you really want to insist on understanding this matter, then you have to be responsible for your own actions." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "What do you mean?" ”

Liu Mouzheng said: "At this stage, I have said everything I should have said, I have my plan and purpose, you have your curiosity, I can't let your curiosity ruin my plan, it's as simple as that, if you insist on investigating, then you have to be ready to sacrifice." ”

As he spoke, Liu Mouzheng suddenly whistled, and the whistle alarmed the people around the bonfire.

Those people immediately looked over here, and while holding their torches high, they found Ye Da and Tang Qianlin in a daze, and then they slowly surrounded them.

After they saw the appearance of Ye Da and Tang Qianlin clearly, suddenly the leader knelt down towards them, and then the others also knelt down in unison, muttering something in their mouths, as if they had seen a god.

Tang Qianlin and Ye Da were stunned, looking at the people kneeling in front of them, dazed and at a loss.

Ye Da listened carefully to what they were saying, and then whispered, "They are saying that we are God's servants. ”

Tang Qianlin frowned: "Waiter? Or a messenger? ”

Ye Dadao: "It's a waiter, not a messenger." ”

Tang Qianlin said: "What does this mean? ”

As soon as he said this, the prostrategies moved away at the command of the leader and made a way, as if inviting them to come forward.
