Chapter 60: Inheritance

They are like the tongues of the gods, as superhumans, transmitting the message of the spirit of all things to their people!

Just as shamans have different inheritance systems in different tribes, there are two kinds of shamanic inheritance systems within the clan, one is blood inheritance and the other is the choice of the gods......

In fact, both Inuit men and women can be shamanic heirs, inheriting the magical abilities of shamans in their father's bloodline, if there is no suitable heir in the son's generation.

Then, it is also a suitable path to pass on from grandchild to grandchild, but if there is no suitable heir in both generations of sons and grandchildren...... Then, a suitable stranger will become the right successor to the shaman's position!

In the shamanic system, the gods are important in the selection of shamans......

If there is no one in a shaman's bloodline to inherit, then these gods will personally choose the shaman's successor, and there are two ways to do this...... One is mental torture, the other is a physical blow!

In the eyes of the Inuit, if the shaman of a tribe does not have suitable heirs to inherit it, then the children of the group will be tormented by the spirits of their ancestors one after another!

These children will cry in their sleep, and their expressions will become nervous and sensitive, until eventually, a suitable child is chosen...... This child will become a shaman candidate, and when the child reaches the age of thirteen, he can be chosen as the heir!

During this time, the spirit of the ancestor will continue to lead the child in his dreams, leading the child to communicate with the spirits of all things, and even go down to the underground underworld to sharpen it......

This method is relatively slow, and there is a relatively quick way to choose an heir in shamanism, and that is to be struck by lightning!

Lightning is very important in the process of divine selection, thunder and lightning come from the sky, is a mysterious force beyond human control, therefore, being struck by lightning and surviving has become an important symbol of the gods' choice of shaman heirs among the tribes.

Some shamans' costumes are painted with lightning bolts to prove that the shaman is the chosen one.

Whether it is ancestral torture or the selection of the gods, once the identity of the shaman's heir is established, then it is mandatory, and the chosen human beings have no room for resistance, and can only honestly inherit the shaman's profession among the tribes.

The magical power of shamans is mainly manifested in two aspects, the first is to help the producer survive, which includes helping the pregnant woman to stabilize the fetus and helping the sick child to overcome the disease.

The second aspect is communication with God, which can help the tribe to be in good weather, to multiply, and to predict the future of the tribe and guide the future direction of the tribe.

Inuit shamans, on the other hand, are eaten by wild animals such as bears or walruses, and after completing the ritual, these animals that have eaten the shaman's body will become auxiliary gods to help the shaman exert his divine powers.

These rituals to become shamans, while appalling, are not the actual torturous flesh mentioned above. Rather, it is a spiritual feeling that shamans are on the verge of death when they perform rituals......

In a shamanic ceremony, shaman candidates are left alone in tents or in closed houses, without eating or drinking for days and nights, during which the spirits and spirits of the ancestors will take the shaman through this experience of dying and being eaten by the body.

Those who go through shamanic rituals will feel the power of the gods in the midst of suffering, and through these pains they will be convinced that they have some connection with the gods, and that only by going through a baptism akin to death can humans truly assume the role of shaman.

"Oh...... After your explanation, Miss, we seem to understand, and we still seem to know a little about it, but it doesn't matter, I think our Lord Bian Xi will definitely understand it all, because you are all learned and out-of-the-world masters! ”

"Hehe......"

After a burst of smirks, Boss Kong and his group of dragon team brothers immediately looked at Bian Xi and Hong'er collectively...... In their eyes, there seems to be a kind of worship that is almost crazy!
