Chapter 155: Past and Future (I)
After the relief star position of the crow spirit base was moved back to its original position by Tang Qianlin, a wave of darkness diffused from under the base.
"Get out of the way, everybody!" Tang Qianlin beckoned everyone to get out of the way, and he hurriedly dodged the darkness that was constantly eroding around on the floor.
The darkness eroded and spread extremely quickly, quickly covering the entire hall floor, and then crawled up along the wall, and in less than ten minutes, the entire hall was shrouded in darkness, only the crow spirit statue in the middle could be seen clearly.
The crowd looked around, wary, fearing that something like the Frozen Priest might emerge from it.
However, after a long time, I saw nothing but the sound of fighting in the darkness.
The sound of fighting is getting closer and closer, as if there are thousands of troops fighting around.
The crowd looked around in horror, trying to find the source of the sound.
"Look over there!" Tang Yushi pointed to the dark distance, where a figure appeared.
At the same time as the figure gradually appeared, goose feather snow also fell in the darkness, but the heavy snow only passed through the bodies of Tang Qianlin and the others and disappeared.
"It's an apparition." Tang Qianlin immediately said to the others, "Don't be afraid, everyone. ”
The figure was getting closer and closer, and Tang Qianlin finally saw clearly that in the wind and snow was a shaman wearing a sacrificial dahu and a mask, and behind the shaman, there was also a group of sturdy warriors.
Armed with shields and long knives and strong bows, the warriors dressed exactly like the frozen priests before them, bowed their heads and followed the shaman as they walked through the wind and snow, following the shaman and chanting in a low voice.
Tang Qianlin turned his head and asked Ye Da, "What are they singing?" ”
Ye Da listened carefully for a while, and then said: "It's a shamanic song to invite the gods, this song originated from the Mongolian shaman, but now they are singing the Manchu, the front is the same as the Mongolian shaman's, but there are some changes in the back." ”
After Ye Da finished speaking, he explained the lyrics to Tang Qianlin-
Turn around and go to the door, stand up,
It's already night, ho, beckon, please, ho.
Facing the door, stand up, ho ho,
It's already dark, ho, beckon, please, ho.
The cup is full of orange juice, lords,
It's a gift with reverence.
Offering upwards ah-ho-ho-ho, then I'm scared ah-ho-ho,
Think about it again, ho-ho, ho-ho.
Isn't this what faith is?
……
An Ran asked on the side: "What do the lyrics mean?" ”
Ye Dadao: "This song is a song sung when the shaman asks the god to possess the body, the shamanic gods Tengri and Ongut are in the outside of the natural world, so the shaman begins to dance the gods, when he summons the gods, he needs to face the door and stand at the door, this is a difference between the black shaman and the white shaman, the white shaman needs to stand in front of the Buddha statue before inviting the gods, and can sing this song only after kowtowing to the Buddha statue. ”
An Ran said: "The white shaman is the shaman who has accepted the concept of Buddhism? ”
Tang Qianlin said: "According to what you say, this shaman is neither a white shaman nor a black shaman, but a ......."
Ye Da continued Tang Qianlin's words: "Yes, it should be Evil Sa." ”
The shaman led his sacrificial soldiers to the Snow Sealed Ridge, and after countless sacrifices, he crossed the obsidian group, entered the cave, passed the ice tower in almost the same way as Tang Qianlin, came to the top of the mountain, and entered the main hall.
However, the strange thing is that the scene does not describe how the shaman led the priests through the test of the Eagle Spirit Hall and the Swan Spirit Hall, but omits everything that happened before, and directly comes to the Crow Spirit Hall where Tang Qianlin and the others are.
When the shaman stood in front of the statue of the crow spirit and took off his mask and bowed, everyone clearly saw that the face under the sacrificial mask was none other than Tang Qianlin!
At that moment, Tang Qianlin was dumbfounded, staring at the shaman's face, while the eyes of the rest of the people were looking at him.
"What's going on?" Tang Qianlin was dumbfounded, "Why me?" ”
Ye Da looked at the shaman, and then at Tang Qianlin: "I don't know, maybe, it's just an illusion, right?" ”
The shaman, like Tang Qianlin, after moving the switch of the base, the darkness spread out again, enveloping the hall again, and then, the shaman suddenly realized something, and suddenly turned to look at Tang Qianlin, as if he could see Tang Qianlin clearly.
What happened? Masaji Maeda, Victor and others in the rear stared carefully.
Bei Zihong also walked behind Tang Qianlin with slow steps, and looked carefully at the shaman's gaze, yes, he was looking at Tang Qianlin, he was indeed looking at him, could it be that in this environment, they could see each other?
When the shaman looked at Tang Qianlin, he spoke, and although he could see his lips moving, he couldn't hear any sound.
After a long speech, the shaman turned and left, and the figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, and then, the darkness gradually faded, and after fading from the roof to the ground, it slowly merged into black figures on the floor.
These figures were the same as they had seen in the Swan Spirit Temple before, and they only saw their human form, but they did not see their appearance.
Tang Qianlin was counting sideways, but he couldn't count how many black shadows there were, because most of the black shadows flickered and flickered, and only the two black shadows that were fighting were always clearly visible.
Finally, one of the shadows restrained the other, and the two seemed to be talking something, and then the one who had the upper hand threw away what looked like a gun in his hand and stepped back step by step, as if he had discovered something surprising and terrifying.
Another shadow pounced on him, hugging the one on the ground.
Suddenly, the black shadow who threw away the pistol turned to look at Tang Qianlin, and the layer of black also faded from the surface of his body, turning into the appearance of Tang Qianlin now, standing there stunned with a look of despair.
Tang Qianlin was already so surprised that he didn't know what to say, he just looked at himself standing there, and couldn't help but step forward to grab it, but the moment his hand touched it, his figure disappeared instantly, and the black faded into the ground, like a snake, and drilled back into the base of the crow spirit statue.
The main hall has returned to its previous appearance, and the expected crow spirit has not appeared, and everything that happened before seems to be just an illusion.
When Tang Qianlin raised his eyes to look at the statue again, he found that it was obviously a statue of a crow spirit, but it had become a magpie spirit statue in the magpie spirit hall that they had not yet visited.
"What's going on?" Ye Da looked at the statue, "How can this be?" ”
Tang Qianlin turned around and ran towards the outside of the hall, the moment he pushed open the door of the hall, the cold current outside poured in from the gap, Bei Zihong stepped forward to close the door, and roared at Tang Qianlin: "What do you want to do?" Kill everyone? ”
Tang Qianlin stood there stunned, anxiously waiting, waiting for the cold current to rush over, then opened the door and ran out, took a compass to take a look, and found that he was indeed outside the magpie spirit hall due north.
"How so?" Tang Qianlin took the compass and ran in the direction of the Crow Spirit Palace, pushed open the door of the main hall, looked at the Crow Spirit statue standing inside, and looked at the base, the base had indeed been moved, and the mechanism had been opened.
But why did he suddenly run into the Magpie Spirit Hall when he was obviously in the Crow Spirit Temple?
At this moment, Li Yunfan, who was chasing in, said to Tang Qianlin: "Old Tang, the entrance to the tunnel has appeared. ”
Tang Qianlin didn't turn around, still looking up at the statue: "Is it the location of the Ghost Willow Star that I determined before?" ”
Before Li Yunfan could speak, Ye Da, who walked in, heard the words and said, "Yes, it's there, let's go down quickly." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Yushi and An Ran also walked in, and Tang Yushi said anxiously: "Dad, those Japanese and Germans have already gone down first, and that old thing from Bei Zihong has also gone down!" ”
Tang Qianlin didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, just turned to look at everyone: "I understand, I seem to understand, I know the correspondence between these things." ”
"What?" Ye Da asked, looking at Tang Qianlin suspiciously, "What do you know?" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Yada, that is, the Eagle Spirit, according to the location of the record is in the northeast, that is, the location of the Red Tutun, representing the evil star of the Arm City, which is guarded by the clan, the Eagle Spirit Arm City represents the memory and spirit, and the Husha Swan Spirit, corresponding to the bone temple of Hailar, belongs to the northwest, represents the Guanjiao Evil Star, guarded by the Ma clan, and represents the power; Ye Da, the crow spirit, in the ruins of the Bohai Kingdom under Gongrong Village, is located in the southeast, guarded by the An clan, corresponding to wisdom. ”
Ye Da hurriedly asked, "What is the rest of the Shashek?" What about the ghost willow? There are only four spirits? How do you deal with the last ghost willow? ”
"Based on what we've seen before, I think the magpie Lingshashek represents the past and the future. You think, we first saw the shaman, and it is obvious that he is the one who found the shaman's spirit palace before the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, and his appearance represents the past. Tang Qianlin analyzed carefully and walked up to Ye Da, "And those dark shadows I saw later should represent the future and what is about to happen." ”
An Ran asked, "What about the ghost willow?" There are only four spirits? What corresponds to the last ghost willow? ”
Tang Qianlin said: "It should be the bear spirit, we saw the statue of the bear-headed human body in the Bohai Kingdom ruins of Gongrong Village, which represents the ghost willow." ”
Li Yunfan still didn't understand: "We see the past and the future, but what about the crow spirit that represents wisdom?" Do you give us any inspiration or test? ”
Tang Qianlin said: "It's very simple, what does our wisdom come from? ”
Li Yunfan said: "Experience? ”
Tang Qianlin asked: "Yes, experience, which can be called experience, means that it is in the past, and wisdom is contained in this process, so when we enter the Crow Spirit Palace, we will have some overlap with the Magpie Spirit Hall." ”
Tang Yushi said anxiously: "Dad, we have to hurry down the tunnel, they have already taken the lead!" ”
Tang Qianlin said: "No, they can't take the lead, only the four of us can enter some places, I can be sure of this now." ”
As he spoke, Tang Qianlin looked at Prajnison who walked in, and followed by Xiao Tianjun behind him.
Xiao Tianjun looked at Tang Qianlin and asked coldly, "Tang Qianlin, now, you should fulfill your promise." ”
