Chapter 204: The Shaman Sends God
As the sun rose, the entire Xinjing City was shrouded in dense fog, and there was a slight chill in the air. This should have been a time when pedestrians and vehicles rarely traveled, and I don't know who released the news, Xingren Road, Datong Square and the roadside were full of people, as if they were going to watch the emperor travel, people were watching.
"Fifth brother, what are you looking at?" A merchant asked a man with a fortune telling banner.
"The big guys are all spreading that the Nalan family of the former Qing Dynasty sent God, and the Taoist priest specially invited from Laoshan came to practice for seven days, and today is the seventh day, and he wants to send God."
"What do you mean by sending God?"
"This is a ritual of shamanism, I don't know the specifics, I heard that Nalan Ye's family bought a new house, and it was vacant for a long time, so he asked the Taoist priest to survey the feng shui, and asked the shaman to exorcise the ghosts and send the gods. Look at it, this is the biggest act of sending gods in the history of the new capital. ”
In fact, shamanism originated in the primitive era of fishing and hunting. The theoretical basis of shamanism is animism, and later, just before the introduction of various foreign religions, shamanism almost monopolized the ancient altars of all ethnic groups in northern China, and its influence among the ancient ethnic groups in northern China is deep-rooted. In particular, since Nurhachi's Later Jin and Qing Dynasty ruled China, it has been widely spread in Northeast China and even Mongolia, and successive Qing Dynasty emperors combined shamanism with Manchu traditions, and used shamanism to rule the people of all ethnic groups in Northeast China, especially shamanism played a pivotal role in the court life of the Qing Dynasty. Relatively speaking, among the Manchu families in the northeast, in the Hezhe, Oroqen, Evenki, and Daur in the Sanjiang Valley, as well as among some Xibe people, they have obtained a relatively complete inheritance.
"Here, look------ here--------" the message was whispered.
In the mist, people could faintly hear the intermittent sound of gongs ---- "ClangClang------- and they could also be seen to be dense layers of flags and banners.
I saw a man wearing a roe deer skin nine-pronged god hat, wearing a mask on his face, wearing a colorful divine robe sewn from animal skin, embroidered with snakes, turtles, frogs and other patterns, decorated with colorful cloth strips, wearing a purple leather skirt on his lower body, a cone-shaped copper bell tied around his waist, holding a Taiping drum in his left hand, a drumstick in his right hand, chanting words in his mouth, jumping and swaying while walking, behind this shaman, there are two people wearing similar clothes and wearing five-pronged hats, and one is holding a scepter with a bronze beast on the top. The other, who was holding two deer shoulder blades, was also acting exaggeratedly and speaking words that people could not understand.
Further back is a group of eight, carrying eight large black lacquer coffins, all covered with large apricot yellow flags embroidered with the Big Dipper, each coffin also carries a scarecrow wearing a Qing Dynasty official uniform, and on both sides are strong men in black holding flags of various colors. The team also deliberately slowed down in a crowded place.
At the end of the line, it was still the "Laoshan Taoist" Hua Feihua who was holding a peachwood sword and a copper bell, half-squinting his eyes and babbling in his mouth. At the end, there is a drum troupe of more than 40 people, blowing and beating, so lively.
Nalan Songhan and Luo Shuangchen, dressed in long robes and horse coats, rode horses and walked side by side, followed by Nalan's car and two large trucks full of pigs, cattle and sheep, wine and vegetables, paper horses, paper people, paper cars, paper houses and other sacrificial items.
People have never seen such a magnificent send-off ceremony that blocks the streets.
As the procession was moving slowly, a squad of policemen burst in front of them, loaded with guns. Led by the "Tu Fei Yuan" Yin Luffy, Chen Cong, the new head of the Special Service Section of the Police Department, and Gu Maolin, the new captain of the action team.
Yin Luffy first roared: "Stop------ this police station suspects that you are bluffing, and it has affected the normal life of the citizens of Xinjing, we have to check!" ”
The shaman god general led by the "Divine Machine Military Division" Zhang Shuofei, followed by the "Jianghu Monster" Meng Jiafa and the "red-clothed cannon" Zhao Qianxun. The three of them looked at each other through the masked eyes for a while, and continued to chant the words, ignoring Luffy's words, singing and dancing in place, "Gui Yu Hamimen slammed...... Ken withered right trapped wealth ......"
"What's that? Who knows if you're stealing prohibited items? Must check. O Venerable Master! Yin Lufei knew that there were Nalan and Luo Shuangchen behind him, but he still didn't give up, it seemed that he was prepared.
Chen Cong and Gu Maolin said a bad word, crossed their waists, and looked at them with a wicked smile on their faces.
Nalan and Luo Shuangchen also dismounted and walked to the front of the team. First, Luo Shuangchen spoke, "Director Yin, you don't know about my third brother's family, why are you in the way of your eyes again, what have we done to break the law?" ”
"Deputy Director Lu, under the instructions of Toyotomi Taijun and Director Luo, all suspicious people entering and leaving the new capital have been strictly investigated recently, who are you people with bells and whistles? How come we haven't seen it? ”
"Don't say it's the head of the Toyotomi Agency, or the director of the Luo department, this is my Nalan's family matter, why do you have to check it? I bought a house, according to the tradition of our Eight Banners, ask a feng shui master to survey feng shui, ask a shaman to exorcise ghosts to the gods, what is there to hurt the morals of society? Or has it affected the security of the new capital? Get out of the way, don't block me on the day of this ceremony. Nalan looked angry.
"Deputy Director Lu, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with you, right?" Gu Maolin said softly.
"What do you say? Pretending to be confused, who in Brand New Beijing doesn't know that the third master of Nalan and I are friends for eight worships, like siblings, his business is my business, my business is his business, you have to come to make trouble, beware of me, you're welcome! Saying that, Luo Shuangchen was about to grab Yin Luffy's collar.
"Deputy Director-----, don't look at the face of the monk, look at the face of the Buddha. Brothers are not easy. Isn't it just a check, let them see what is in the coffin, there are no prohibited items, arms, medicines, opium, etc., and let you ...... 'send God' normally, isn't that good? The brothers are too embarrassed, and it's hard to explain. "Chen Cong came over to play the round.
"Damn, no one can do it, in front of Nalan, I can't give in to the things that block me!"
"My Director Nalan, my third master, you can make it convenient." Yin Luffy felt that it couldn't work if he was strong, and he knew that Deputy Director Lu's slap was not given for nothing.
"What? My words are not good-------" someone shouted.
The team of policemen automatically dodged the road, and Toyotomi Hisaki strode forward from behind......
