Chapter 13: The Cellar

"Shaman" can also be transliterated as "Shanman" and "Yama".

The original word contains: wise, knowing, inquiry, etc., and then gradually evolved into a shamanic shaman, that is, a special name for a person who dances gods.

Shaman, from the Jurchen language and other Tungusic languages. In Tungusic language, this word means "wise man" and "knowing". The Manchu word Mullinde is transliterated as saman.

The combination of shamanic rituals and Tibetan Buddhism was institutionalized as the state religion during the Yuan and Qing dynasties in China, and although shamanism all but disappeared a century after the overthrow of Qing rule by the Republic of China, it is still possible to find the shrine of shamanism and ceremonies (Kunning Palace) in the Forbidden City in Beijing.

Shamanism preceded almost any organized religion, dating back to the Neolithic period, although shamanism's subsequent encounters with organized religion were largely caused by its mystical, symbolic rituals.

Shamans communicate with the gods or immortals of the shamanic sect through a series of primitive dances, including body language, shamanic chanting, and special spiritual communication equipment, while in the Tohoku, the practice of "dancing the great gods" is circulated, which is the only remaining legacy of the shamanic sect.

Shamanism believes that it is possible for all living beings in heaven and earth to communicate, and through various ritual activities of shamans, they can communicate with certain living beings, especially those with cultivation, so as to achieve the purpose of divination, medical treatment, and even weather control.

In the Northeast, this gentleman is talking about shamans, that is, the great gods that the folk say.

The introduction of the sea is not so detailed, but the general meaning and its own understanding make everyone understand a rough idea. After listening to Dahai's simple explanation, Rowan then asked, "Uncle Li, can you still remember where this gentleman lives, or who may know him?" ”

Lao Li wrapped his leather jacket and looked at Luo Wen with a smile: "Don't you talk about it!" If the gentleman were still alive, wouldn't he be a hundred years old? Besides, who knows him! A gentleman from Youfang, today in Hegang and tomorrow in Mudanjiang, if you don't catch up with the year, you may also go to Shenyang and Jilin, where to find it! ”

Luo Wen let Lao Li sneer but didn't speak, thought about it and said, "Uncle Li, can you take me to see the cellar built by the Japanese?" ”

This will make Lao Li Tou's eyes widen and look at Rowan and say, "What is it?" Going to the cellar of the Jap? I don't dare to go, my father died because of the cellar, you have to go there, I don't have a few years to live, so I can't throw my life there. ”

"Can you tell me how to get there to find the cellar?"

"No, my old man Li sells old sentences, where do you say you are going to be a young man? That place is wicked! When I went down with my father, I didn't go inside and my legs and stomachs were tendoned, and if you take your life again when you are young, you can pull it down! ”

After Lao Li Tou finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and walked into the house.

Rowan and the others also followed into the house, Lao Li Tou sat on the kang and licked the cigarette roll and stuffed it into his mouth, lit it with a match and looked at Luo Wen, Luo Wen sat on the edge of the kang and stared at Lao Li Tou.

After a while, Lao Li Tou shouted: "What does it have to do with me, I'm willing to go!" ”

After speaking, he pointed to the mountain through the window: "Go along the mountain road, there is a fork in the road about ten miles, take the one on the left, go down the slope, and you can see it after walking another twenty miles." But I'll say ahead, any of you can go, but Xiaohai can't go! ”

After hearing this, the sea hurriedly shouted: "What is the matter! Whoever doesn't go, I have to go! ”

Before the sea could finish speaking, Lao Li raised his voice and shouted: "Your father is just a single seedling!" ”

The room was quiet in an instant, and Uncle Hai squatted on the ground with his head down, smoking his cigarette pouch, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Rowan patted the sea and said to Lao Li: "The sea doesn't go" The sea was just about to open its mouth and was killed by Luo Wen's eyes.

Rowan and the others returned to the Land Rover, the sea was unhappy and leaned against the door to wipe the reversing mirror, and Rowan stood in the middle to issue an order.

"Yunyi, Hexiang, the sea" When talking about the sea, Rowan glanced at the sea, and the sea didn't dare to lose his temper, and he stood up in a proper manner.

"The three of you went to the provincial archives, and when the four olds were broken, the whole country had a long-term crackdown on feudal superstition, and if that gentleman had been making a living by dancing gods, he might be able to find some eyebrows. Xing Song was at Uncle Li's house to answer, and Zu Long and I went to the cellar built by the Japanese to have a look. ”

The sea was angry and anxious, shaking his head several times and wanting to speak, but he knew that this was an order, and he couldn't help it, so he wiped the windows vigorously.

Rowan and Zulong returned to the mountains with some simple equipment, the more the mountain road went in, the less people lived, caught up with the wind, the wind was like a whip to smoke people's faces hurt, the snow was deep to the waist, the shallow places were also above the knees, and the occasional animals in the mountains and forests on both sides swept by, walking through this endless forest sea, as if in another world.

According to the guidance of Lao Li Tou, it didn't take much effort to find the so-called cellar, the cellar is the place where winter vegetables are stored in the northeast, and the hole dug longitudinally towards the center of the earth is sealed with a wooden door to keep it fresh, which is a simple refrigerator.

Therefore, in the eyes of Lao Li, the cave under the mouth is the cellar, but when he arrived at the cellar, Luo Wen knew that where is the cellar, it is a natural cave, and the entrance of the cave nearly three meters wide is covered with ice and snow.

Zu Long briefly cleared the snow, and then the two turned on their shoulder lamps and walked slowly down. Rowan looked at the downward distance displayed by the watch from time to time, but the more he went down, the more shocked Rowan became, no wonder Lao Li made more than 300 jars in one night, the narrower the hole became, and the narrowest place Rowan needed to take off the combat bag behind him to pass, until the watch reading stopped at a hundred meters underground, Rowan saw an exit.

This exit seems to have collapsed, and it turned out to be a smooth passage from this exit! The size of the passage requires Rowan to squat to move forward, and it is obviously excavated by hand, the surrounding area is very flat, the traces of instruments are obvious, and there are occasional forks, at this time, it feels that it is no longer going down, but beginning to move laterally.

Rowan and the others followed Lao Li's instructions all the way until they saw a square exit. This exit is about five meters high from the ground, and there is a broken rope head tied next to the exit, Rowan and Zulong jumped down, and quickly observed the left and right environment after landing, it turned out that they were in a corridor, the ground was more or less waterlogged, the two sections seemed to be infinitely extended, the visual width of the left and right was about six meters, the top of the head was a typical old-fashioned Japanese electric light, the wires were exposed outside, the roof above was made of cement, and the foot was also a cement floor, and the entire corridor was all made of cement!

This Japanese actually built such a place in this deep mountain and old forest, this is really a big deal, you must know that cement was not as common as it is now, I am afraid that the house where the Japanese emperor lived at that time was still made of bricks!

Shocked, Rowan turned around and looked at the entrance of the cave, but to Luo Wen's surprise, it was actually a vent, it seemed that Lao Li Tou also came in by mistake, and there was a rotten hemp rope under the hole, which should have been left by Lao Li Tou and Sharp Eyes when they came down.

At this time, there was a rustling sound in the earphones of the two, Zu Long glanced at his watch and said to Luo Wen with a smile: "Wen'er, this underground signal doesn't seem to be very good, and the watch can't accept anything." ”

Rowan took off the headphones and put them in his pocket, put the combat bag back on his shoulder and said, "It's half a catty, it's not eight taels." ”

The air quality of this underground building is good, or very good, and the above standards of environmental detection are qualified, which means that the ventilation system here has been operating normally.

Both of them turned on the shoulder lamp lighting area to the maximum, barely enough in this six-meter-wide corridor, Zu Long didn't know where to take out two flying knives hanging with bells, and threw them out in reverse from the left and right, and within five seconds there was the sound of flying knives entering the wall on the left, and the bell also rang chaotically, but on the right side was a small bell after more than ten seconds.

Zu Long glanced at Luo Wen, and then walked to the left first, and after a while, the two of them saw the throwing knife tied to the bell sinking straight into a concrete wall.

It turned out that this was the turning point of this road, and after turning the corner, by the light of the shoulder lamp, there was another promenade, but this promenade was no longer a monotonous cement wall, but there was an iron door every few meters.

There is an obvious switch on the wall next to it, which should control the corridor light, Zu Long turned it up and down a few times, Rowan lit a cigarette and said: "It was all thermal power generation that year, don't count on it." ”

Zu Long shrugged his shoulders and took off the flying knife from the wall, and the two came to the first iron door, the iron door is a side-pull slide door, there is an old-fashioned brass lock on the door, and the perennial underground tide affects the rust of the iron door very much, Zu Long knocked off the seriously corrupted copper lock, and pulled the iron door hard, but the slide has been rusted with the iron door, and now he doesn't even hum.

There was a wooden door sign on the door, but it was so rotten that it was vaguely discerning what had been written in Japanese, and the two of them didn't know anything about Japanese, so they had to throw away the sect and continue to move forward.

The strange thing is that the copper lock of the second iron door has been smashed open and fell to the ground, Luo Wen squatted down and looked at the copper lock, and said: "Li Ergou is talking about this room, judging from the traces of the instrument, the wound on this lock was caused by a tool such as a hoe and an iron pick."

This iron door was ajar, and Rowan and Zu Long barely managed to get by by by taking off the tactical bag, and then the neat piles of clay pots that came into view were all placed on the shelves, stacked layer by layer, and there were no less than a thousand. There were some fragments of the clay pot under Luo Wen's feet, and he guessed that it should have been accidentally broken when Lao Li Tou was transported away.

Luo Wen and Zu Long searched the house separately, and they could be sure that these clay pots and the one in Li Cheng's house were a batch, and it was basically certain that Lao Li Tou had explained the facts so far, which dispelled some of Luo Wen's suspicions about Lao Li Tou.

Rowan looked a little clueless in the face of thousands of clay pots, if this is the night pot of Japanese soldiers, judging from this room alone, there should be at least tens of thousands of people here, which is equivalent to the strength of half a regiment, which is unimaginable in Japan at that time, nearly 10,000 troops pulled to the battlefield It is entirely possible to determine the trend of a battle, there is no reason to be sent to this deep mountain and old forest, this clay pot is inconvenient to carry, and it can't be used to cook on the march, and it is not enough to use it to drink, so what is it for?

Just as Rowan was gradually falling into deep thought, suddenly! A creepy voice came into Rowan's ears, and Rowan shivered at once!
