Chapter 84 Shamanism

The immortal Weng took Song Laodao's Thunder Soul Demon Suppression Stick and stirred it in the coffin for a while, and as a result, the filthy smell of these countless dead people's heads filled the room, and everyone of us present couldn't breathe, so we could only turn around and run out of the house one after another......

And the immortal who had been insisting on looking at the dead man's head, in the end, finally couldn't stand the stench that could smoke people to death, so he saw that he was going to rummage for a while, and immediately covered his mouth and nose and ran out......

When he came out, he told us that he had found nothing of value in the coffin except for the head of a dead man, and he couldn't figure out why there were so many dead heads in the coffin......

So I swung the dragon sword again to open the next room, and when I opened it, I found that this room was almost exactly the same as the previous room, and there was also a coffin in the middle of the room, and the lid of the coffin also fell to the ground, and the coffin still contained countless stinking dead people's heads......

The immortal weng walked in very reluctantly, and turned the coffin for most of the day, but still found nothing......

After that, we opened a dozen more rooms, but the result was exactly the same as before, and we didn't find any valuable clues......

Next, we all got together to discuss this strange situation, but basically the monks of the second zhang were confused, and they didn't understand what was going on at all, only Director Ouyang bowed his head and said nothing, looking thoughtful......

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly raised his head and told us that this situation was very similar to a shamanic ritual or burial activity.

Director Ouyang said that during the Song Dynasty, some witchcraft and sacrificial situations of shamans were extremely popular at that time, especially the method of burial was strange, cruel and vicious, and some living burials or ten thousand burials were often carried out......

And the coffin full of human heads we see now is very similar to the sacrificial activities of "heaven and earth corpse burial" when shamanism flourished at that time, so what we see is really the shaman's burial method!

As the name suggests, the head of the mortem is placed in a coffin, and the body is buried in a pit.

Shamanism originated in the primitive fishing and hunting era, its theoretical foundation is animism, in the beginning of the Song Dynasty, various foreign religions have been introduced into the Central Plains, but shamanism has long been introduced before other sects have monopolized the ancient altars of the northern ethnic groups in our country......

Its influence was deeply rooted among the ancient ethnic groups in northern China, and the legacy of shamanism can still be clearly seen even later among some ethnic groups in northern China where Buddhism or Islam have become the mainstream religion.

The Manchu, Xibe, Hezhe, Oroqen, Evenki, Daur, Uyghur, Uzbek, Tatar, Korean, and Yamato ethnic groups also have shamanic beliefs to varying degrees.

However, relatively speaking, in the Sanjiang Valley, the Hezhe, Oroqen, Evenki, Daur, and some Xibe tribes have been relatively complete inheritance.

Shamanism is the most well-preserved in Korea, and Shintoism in Japan is also a variant of shamanism, a primitive religion that existed in the late period.

Shamanism is based on the belief that the visible world is full of invisible forces or spirits that affect the lives of living beings, and unlike any other animism or animism, shamans do not form full-time rituals or spiritual organizations like priests, but they allow the consciousness of their followers to enter a state of madness at any time.

Shamanism believes that people have three souls. One is the soul of life, which is given by the god of life, it will never disappear, even if death is only short-lived, and when the time is ripe, life will reappear, so that reincarnation and heaven and earth ......

The second is the soul of thought, which refers to what people see and hear in their thoughts and dreams when they are awake, it is temporarily away from the body and other souls, and it does not disappear after death, so it needs to be sent to the underworld by a shaman, so as not to cause trouble in the world and harm people and animals, which is similar to the Taoist spirit theory......

The third is the soul of immortality, which is given by the god of immortality, and people can be immortal through the assistance of certain powers, field energy or medicines, and shamans often achieve this goal through activities such as rituals or sacrifices......

And the most absurd thing is that shamans have always believed and firmly believed that people can be resurrected after death, and as long as the three souls are not gone, their souls can be re-entered through some funeral rituals or sacrifices, so that they can be resurrected at a certain time......

The shaman believes that the human spirit is above the head, the human essence is above the body, and the inherent spirit is above the upper element.

If there is a spirit and a primordial spirit between heaven and earth, the three souls of that person will not dissipate, and on the day when the heavens and the earth will change, the three souls will re-enter the body, and the dead will be resurrected......

There are many other burial methods similar to this kind of "headless corpse burial" in shamanism, such as "infant and child burial, virgin burial, yang body burial", etc., all of which are some sacrificial activities created to resurrect the dead, and their cruelty is no less than the atrocities committed by the little Japanese invasion of China......

It can be seen that there must have been shamanic activities here in the past, or someone once asked shamanic shamans to hold sacrifices and burial activities here, the purpose of which must be to resurrect the dead......

If we deduce from this, this kind of sacrifice and burial activities must have been prepared for the owner of this palace, and according to our inference, the owner of this palace should be the leader of the rebel army known as Tie Wulang during the Song Dynasty, that is to say, it is very likely that the person who wants to resurrect is Tie Wulang!

If this is the case, then this palace is very likely to be a temple, in other words, this ghost place may be Tie Wulang's spiritual bed, a huge tomb!

Director Ouyang's words shocked everyone present, and at the same time, their minds were full of question marks, because from the structure and decoration of this palace, there is no trace of the appearance of a mausoleum, and there is no underworld, Shinto, tomb, ear room, etc., which the mausoleum should have......
