Chapter 3 About Tengger

I quietly took off my glasses and stared hard at the mage with my right eye, and within seconds I could see the spirit behind her.

This is the first time I've seen this kind of spirit, and I don't know how to describe it. Her spirit wasn't like what I'd seen before, whatever it was at least an entity, such as an animal or a plant.

Her spirit was a mass of blue gas, or a large mass of blue liquid, constantly changing shapes, and because the speed of change was so fast, it could only be seen from the outline, all kinds of animals, sometimes large and sometimes small, sometimes tall and sometimes short. It's like a piece of clay that has been constantly pinched into various shapes, and after being filmed, it is played in a fast-forward way, and it doesn't take long for me to see that I am dizzy.

I put my glasses back on, thinking to myself, is this shaman the real thing the fat brother said? I'm going to ask Uncle Galu for more advice in a moment to see what shamanism is all about. What does it have to do with the spirit that I see that can change?

As I put on my glasses, the shaman stopped talking and turned in the direction of the four of us, blindfolded, but judging by her movements, she was looking at us.

After a pause of a few seconds, Uncle Garu also looked back at us with a puzzled expression, as if we had interrupted the conversation between the mage and him.

I was shocked, could it be that this shaman had noticed that I was looking at her with the eyes of heaven? I don't know if this is a kind of disrespect, in other people's territory, it's irrational to provoke her.

I followed the example of the other three and stood there with innocent expressions, pretending that I didn't know what was going on, hoping that she wouldn't blame her.

After looking at us for a while, the shaman bowed his head again, said a few words to Uncle Garu in a thick voice, and suddenly lay on the ground and did not move, as if he had passed out. After lying on her back for about a minute, she began to get up with her hands on the ground.

Uncle Galu and his assistant aunt hurriedly stepped forward to help, and a few of us also ran forward to help, in fact, there was no need for so many people to help, it was the same as the leader's inspection, just out of politeness.

The shaman waved his hand, signaled that we didn't need help, sat up by himself, pulled off the cloth covering his face, smiled at us, then turned around and whispered a few words to his assistant, and then went back to the yurt on his own, looking tired and needing to rest immediately.

The assistant took a cloth bag from the table, poured a large bowl of milk from a plastic bucket on the ground, and delivered it to Uncle Garu, and then packed up his things and went back to the yurt.

I ran over to help Uncle Garu hold the big bowl of milk, and asked, "What is this for?" Let's drink? ”

Uncle Garu shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not for you to drink, it's for the gods to drink, and spill this bowl of yak milk on the ground." ”

Jiang Li glared and said, "I haven't drunk yak milk yet, leave us some to taste." ”

Uncle Galu patted Jiang Li's back and said, "If you want to drink it for a while, I'll drive it for you, it tastes the same as ordinary milk." ”

Jiang Li is not a child who doesn't understand yes, and when he heard what his uncle said, he hurriedly replied: "No need, no need, I drink milk to have diarrhea." ”

Uncle Galu respectfully poured the yak milk on the ground by the river, and kept saying, "Tengger bless, Tengger bless." ”

The fat brother said very seriously next to him: "The immortals here speak Mongolian, you have to say it in Mongolian." ”

When the three of us heard this, we all laughed, but Uncle Galu was very serious, and said it again in Mongolian, and the fat brother gave up, it seems that the fat brother has found a soulmate this time.

Yan Qiu pointed to the cloth bag in Uncle Galu's hand and asked, "What is that for?" ”

Uncle Galu showed us the mouth of the cloth bag, and then said, "This is fried rice, and it is to be fed to the river gods in the river." ”

We took the bag of fried rice, walked to the river, and you grabbed me one by one and scattered it.

The river, which was as calm as a lake, immediately rippled, and from the clear water, there were countless fish, some of which were fifty centimeters long, vying for food, like fish in a pond that had not been fed for several days. It shows that this fried rice is a high-quality fish food, and fish are very fond of it.

Jiang Li happily looked at the fish competing for food in the water, and asked Uncle Galu, "What does shamanism mean?" Why feed the fish? ”

Uncle Galu said: "Shamanism believes that everything in the world has a soul, not only birds, animals, flowers and trees, but also mountains, rivers, tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, all have spirituality, and shamanism worships these gods. The supreme god is Tengri. ”

I wondered, "What is Tengger?" I just don't know what it means. ”

Yan Qiu preemptively replied: "Tengger is Mongolian, which is what Mongolians often call the immortal sky, which is the blue sky above our heads, since everything has a soul, then the sky also has it, and the sky is the biggest." ”

After a long time, the Tengger that Uncle Galu said is the sky above our heads, and the supreme Tengger he said is translated as my god in the words of the two actors, I can't help but snicker.

But now I understand that the changing spirit of the shaman just now should be the effect of the heroic spirit of all things. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought it was a deception, thinking that the sister-in-law was an acting school, and it seems that there are some folk things that have to be believed.

Legend has it that the Northeast Jumping God, which evolved from shamanism, also makes it difficult for me to distinguish between true and false. They are talking about setting up a hall and writing a hall list, so that those animals in cultivation, that is, the upper body of the earth immortals in their mouths, since the mountains and rivers have souls, the upper body of the animals really has to be believed.

I asked Uncle Garu, "What instructions does that shaman have been communicating with you for so long?" ”

Uncle Galu said, "The Supreme Tenggerian is a faithful believer and will bless me with a safe trip." You must also be disciplined in your words and deeds, do not harm the spirits of the sacred mountain, take only what you need, and do not harm the things in the mountain, so that you can keep you safe, this is what the Master said. Later, the mage said that the gods were pnooped upon by the living, and they were displeased, so they left without other instructions. Can't you stand by and watch? I don't understand either. ”

I knew in my heart that it must be because I used my right eye to spy on the heroic spirit on my upper body, so I made the gods unhappy, and in short, the ritual was successfully over, and I saw the appearance of the gods for the first time, which was quite interesting.

After feeding the fish in the river, we got into Uncle Garu's three blanches, and Uncle Galu went into the yurt to say goodbye to the shaman before carrying us back to his dwelling.

Uncle Galu's son was slaughtering a sheep, a sheep was tied to a pole behind the yurt, Uncle Galu's son was picking sheepskins with a knife, the sheep's entrails were running all over the ground, and the sheepdog was lying on the ground beside him, waiting for his master to give him food.

Because of the bad smell, a few of us went back to the house after seeing it, and Jiang Li also changed his previous curiosity and entered the house with us.

I know that Jiang Li is the most unseemly of hurting animals, but when the meat is served, she doesn't eat a lot at all, she is still a child's character, and she doesn't see things so thoroughly. But the little boy outside the yurt is obviously much more mature, and he can slaughter sheep alone at such a young age, and I definitely can't do it if I am asked to do it.

After confirming that Uncle Galu would give us mutton stew to eat in the evening, we happily went back to the kang in the back room and continued to pack our things.

Pouring out the things in the backpack, I saw that Yan Qiu still brought a small shovel head of the Luoyang shovel and an iron rod that the backpack could hold. I complained about her disobedience, and she kept saying just in case.

Jiang Li held the endless snacks in his bag, ran to the outhouse one by one, and gave it to Uncle Galu's daughter to eat, and after receiving thanks and praises, his face was filled with a happy expression.

While cleaning up, the fat brother said, "Do you feel anything?" This Uncle Galu is not very honest. ”

I asked, confused, "What's dishonest?" Uncle Galu is an honest man at first glance, how enthusiastic, how you say. ”

The fat brother shook his head and said, "You are too tender, you see Uncle Galu and that shaman, they have been talking for so long, but only a few words to tell us, he must have said something, why don't you say it all?" There must be secrets. ”

Yan Qiu expressed a different opinion, she said: "Not necessarily, maybe people's Mongolian communication is complicated, or there are some private matters of Uncle Galu, you can't meet the gods once, just talk about entering the mountain, right?" For example, the family is healthy, the condition is improving, and so on. ”

I nodded in agreement and said with a smile: "Maybe Uncle Galu wants to ask about the development of his relationship with a Russian woman." Either it doesn't matter to us, or it just doesn't matter. The shaman can't tell Uncle SΓΉ Galu to take these people into a secluded place in the ravine, and take them over, and all the possessions will be added to the five, so let's open them up, right? ”

Seeing that we didn't agree, the fat brother didn't continue to speak, just shook his head and continued to pack his things, muttering: "There is a problem, there is a problem." ”
