Chapter 59: Shaman
"Sister" When the little boy said those two words more clearly in the language that Hong'er and Bian Xi could understand, everyone suddenly seemed a little uneasy!
Little brother, what's your name? Why do you call me sister, do you know me? Hong'er was staring curiously at the little boy in the arms of the old woman in front of her at this moment!
"Well, I remember you, you often appear in my dreams and will bring me many delicious pastries...... I dreamed of you again last night, and in the dream you came to us with a snow-white cat and many people, and a voice told me that you are good people, a group of people who can change the future of our tribe! The little boy said with certainty......
"Dalot, my name is Dalot...... That's what people here call me! ”
Hehe, with the old woman's satisfied smile, she also seemed to understand the strange language that the little boy had just spoken...... So, she immediately danced to Hong'er again, and made a whimper-whimpering gesture......
Bian Xi and the others continued to be confused, and the second monk couldn't figure it out, but vaguely, he seemed to hear the word "shaman", so he hurriedly turned his eyes to Hong'er for help......
I saw Hong'er and the old woman communicate for a while, and then slowly turned around, and she slowly explained to Bian Xi's group of people with a little surprise......
"Yes, Brother Xi, you can still hear the word 'shaman'...... It means that your cultivation is still there, and there is still room for further improvement! ”
This old woman is telling us that she is an Inuit and the shaman of this tribe, and that the little boy is their reincarnated spirit child here, and the only person in the tribe who can inherit the shaman!
Since he was born, he has been different, when he was very young, he was able to open his mouth to speak, he said that he was waiting for a young lady, waiting for a group of people who could change the fate of the entire tribe!
"Oh? Could it be that he has been here all along, just waiting for us to show up? Boss Kong came to his senses at this time, and asked Hong'er very excitedly.
What does "shaman" mean?
"Miss, Master Bian said that he only understood these two words, so if you are tired, you will give us a detailed explanation...... Say? ”
"Hmm...... Shaman, is an ancient term! ”
When it comes to shamans, we always think of masked dancing wizards, cloud-rolling psychics who roll their eyes like crazy, and goddesses who can summon gods to drive away demons......
But, what is the true face of a shaman? But few people know about it...... I saw Hong'er after asking the old woman's approval, and then said slowly.
Shamanism refers to an animistic belief that is widely distributed in Central and North Asia, and the Manchus, Mongols, Hezhes, Evenkis, and Kazakhs all have shamanic cultures with a glorious past.
But the Inuit near the Arctic Circle have an even older shamanic faith! Unlike Western Christian monotheistic beliefs, shamanism believes that everything has a soul of its own......
These souls are good and bad, strong and weak, and the spirits of all things can communicate with specific human beings, who act as intermediaries between the spirits of all things and the human race. This group of people was given the name of "shaman".
The meaning of shaman includes a sorcerer who communicates with ancestral spirits, a doctor who heals people's diseases, a leader who leads people to make decisions, and an exorcist who dispels evil spirits......
These meanings are intricate and often vary from case to case. However, no matter what tribe shamans they are in, they will always be at the heart of shamanism!
