Chapter 205: The Metaphor of the Clan

"Is that really all right?The two, no, the three strangers are all gray-robed companions, is there something wrong with letting them mess around in the tribe?" In the white wolf's tent, two shamans, Lichou and Jinban, sat opposite each other, and the latter asked respectfully. Speaking of inquiry, when the old shaman asked Iwaqiu to help Lothar and them, both of them agreed without the slightest hesitation, because their reverence and respect for Liqiu made them not really doubt the other party's decision, and the question at this time was more akin to asking for advice than questioning. This is also their attitude towards the old shaman all along.

"Isn't that right? Lichou blinked, picked up the tea bowl in front of him and looked at the tea soup inside, "What do you think, what's wrong?"

That's the time to take the exams. As an existence revered by shamans in all tribes, it is true that he often calls on others, which is why wandering shamans like Imoka Jinban, who have given up living with the crowd, are willing to stay here. It's just that the old shaman's point comes and goes suddenly, and many times a word that is just right can benefit people a lot, and the answer that comes from thinking about a question for many years is quite worthless. Therefore, every shaman cherishes this opportunity to the detriment.

"This..."Jin Ban opened his mouth to speak, but swallowed the words back, and after he thought about what he wanted to say bit by bit, he spoke again, "First, the rules on the grassland, the people on the grassland will abide by it." Whether it is Nuisa or Enzord, they are all children of the steppe, and their lives are according to the spirits, and they do not need outsiders to interfere in their lives and deaths. Second, even if the law of the grassland is not considered, this matter is also an internal matter of the tribe, and if these people collect money to do things, it is just that, but they are neither from their own tribe, nor are they entrusted by others, and they can still accept it with just one blood. But as shamans who are supported by the tribe, we really shouldn't help. These three, these three things, even if you want to take care of it, you shouldn't use this way at this time. Although the relationship between my two brothers and you is not well known, the shamans of the clan always know that you are now sitting here and will invite me and me to come, and if someone investigates you later, it will inevitably not be considered that you are biased. ”

The old shaman nodded, what Jin Ban said was right, from big to small, from ethnic groups to individuals, he had no need to help this team. Especially in the here and now, his actions have added to the uncertainty of the already cloudy tribal future. The premise is that things are what Nishiki says, "From your point of view, things do." ”

Lichou drank the tea soup in the cup and raised his eyes to look at the person sitting opposite. Jin Bian's face was as usual, because he knew that since the old shaman asked him, he knew how far he could answer, and what he was going to say next was the real point. Sure enough, Lichou exhaled, "What do you think is the relationship between the shaman and the clan?"

This is a question that many shamans have thought about, many leaders have thought about, and many other steppe people have also thought about it. Their answers are inconclusive, and each has its own reasoning, because they have their own circumstances. What is certain is that as long as the people of the steppes continue to follow this way of life, and the spirits continue to use shamans as their voices in the world, then the discussion and reflection on this issue will not stop. Quite the opposite, because the answer to this question changes with the world, it should be discussed, no matter what time or region, because only by thinking and trying to come up with the answer can people better understand their situation, and then improve it or adapt to it.

Obviously, what Lichou wants to say at this time is a kind of answer to this question in the here and now, his own answer, "I have been trained since I was seven years old, and when I was twenty-four years old, I went here to replace the previous shaman, and I have been serving the fire spirit here for dozens of years. Coupled with the fact that I've witnessed three changes of leadership here so far, this is nothing new. However, the difference is that at that time, the leader of the tribe was still the head man, and the title of wolf lord was only recently obtained. So this time, it is also the most vocal of the three replacements. Do you know what this looks like?"

Of course, Lichou didn't need Jinban to give him an answer, he just wanted to emphasize his tone, "In my opinion, this tribe is like a creature. If I had to say it, it was a woman. The reason is simple, living things, there are flesh and blood, hair, and internal organs. The people and symbols, beliefs, cultures, and languages that make up the tribe are the flesh and blood of this creature. But as long as the living beings live, there will be cycles, the old skin will fade, new flesh and blood will be born from food, and so will the tribe, and it is difficult for me to say that this tribe is still the same as when I was twenty-four years old, and all people and things have changed. And the reason why I say she is a woman is because of the current situation, the tribe is getting stronger and stronger, the size, the population, is increasing day by day. Until the name of the wolf lord is added, just like the female is conceived, it is no longer a problem to feed herself, and there is still enough energy to provide for the fetus. ”

"The prosperity of the tribe is like the growth of the fetus. Now, it's time to give birth. Lichou's words made people feel puzzled, because the female gave birth to a new life, but what can the current tribe bring? At least Jin Ban couldn't sort this out, he only saw the signs of tribal division and mass death, and did not see signs of the birth of a new life. But that wasn't the question to ask now, and Maki remembered what he had said before the other party began to utter the series of parables.

"So where are we? Are we the midwives in this delivery, or are we going to stop the bleeding after the delivery?"

The old shaman laughed, for he thought that the young junior had made a fundamental mistake, "No, remember what I had compared at the beginning? You and I, like everyone else outside this tent, are in the life of a tribe." We won't be midwives and we won't be able to dictate her delivery. We are the umbilical cord. He is responsible for delivering nutrients from the mother to the baby, and then shedding them on his own when he is able to become independent. But the umbilical cord can also transmit viruses when it delivers nutrients. What we can do now is to keep the virus in the mother's body as much as possible before the baby is born. ”

"Forgive me for being stupid, what exactly is the virus you are talking about? How can this virus that already exists in the mother's body be stopped by a few outsiders? I don't understand. ”

"Poison naturally comes from the outside, penetrating the skin and flesh. But the medicine also comes from outside. It is appropriate for foreign medicine to be poisoned from outside. Now I only hope that the amount of this medicine is sufficient. ”
