Ji Aojian galloped quickly, hurried day and night, and came to Jinzhou a few days later......

There are three major cities in the western Liaoning corridor, Suizhong, Xingcheng and Jinzhou. As early as a few years ago, Ji Moli had sent some people out of the customs with the immigrants and into the cars, ships, shops and other industries in various cities to form an intelligence system in the city.

Before, the two banner soldiers in Suizhong went out to harvest, and such a mighty action of dragging the family with the mouth, there was already a fast message in the city to Wuliugou.

Jinzhou is in the middle of the Xiaoling River and the Daling River, is the first important town in western Liaoning, and is also the place where the banner owner of the Zhengbai Flag is located.

The liaison office in Jinzhou is called Kaixuan Shop, Ji Aojian remembered the victory building opened by the seventh sister in Beijing, and it seems that she likes these majestic names.

He asked the shopkeeper, Zu Xing, "Are there any signs of a big man coming near the Japanese city?"

Ji Aojian saw the imperial grandeur of the Gao Gang Master and the Jin Zhuang Master with his own eyes last year, since Na Sajian is the first grandmaster in the Northeast, and he invited the Goryeo Grandmaster and the Rakshasa Grandmaster to come over, maybe he will put on a huge show.

Zu Xing shook his head and said, "I haven't seen any changes. ”

Ji Ao Jian Xin said, yes, these grandmasters are going to secretly round up the fourth sister, so naturally they will not expose their whereabouts.

He asked, "In the past few months, the orders of the Manchurians have been a little different from before?"

Zu Xing said, "There is no abnormality. ”

Ji Aojian said helplessly, "Then have you heard that something big will happen recently?"

Zu Xing thought for a while, "This is true, in a few days the Manchurian people will hold a big horse god festival and pray to the horse god, it is said that this time the momentum will be far better than in previous years." ”

Ji Ao Kendao, "What's going on with the Horse God Festival?"

Zu Xing said, "Dalinghe Ranch is where people raise horses, and every year after the summer solstice, tens of thousands of good horses go out of the circle to graze. Therefore, here in Liaoxi, the most believed in is the horse god. ”

Ji Aojian nodded, "Since you believe in the horse god, there will naturally be a horse god festival, but why is there a big festival this year?"

Zu Xing said, "Last year, many horses grazing on the pasture died inexplicably, and it was rumored that there were demons and evil spirits. This year, we have to sacrifice to the horse god so that we can herd horses with peace of mind. ”

A faint light flashed in Ji Aojian's heart, and he asked, "Do you know what happened to those horses that died violently?"

Zu Xing said, "Those horses are uninjured and non-poisonous on the outside, some of them have broken internal organs, and some of them have no internal injuries, and they seem to have died of madness. ”

He suddenly lowered his voice, "Those who herd horses say that they often hear a low cry at night, and the next day they will find that a dead horse appears in that direction, which shows that there is a ghost asking for their lives. ”

Ji Aojian sighed, "If the ghosts have grudges, they are all asking for their lives, how can they find the horse?"

Zu Xing said, "We Han people say in private that this is the revenge of the Han soul. ”

Ji Aojian was stunned, "Han Soul?"

Zu Xing said, "Yes, you think about how many cities and how many Han people were slaughtered by the Manchu Qing Dynasty when they entered the customs and relied on riding shè kung fu. Wouldn't it be normal for these unjust souls to drift outside the gate and take revenge on the descendants of those war horses back then?"

Ji Ao Kendao, "I see, but why don't you take revenge on the Manchurians directly?"

Zu Xing said, "Actually, it's pretty much the same, do you think, if the ghosts on the grassland kill all the horses, then the Manchu people don't even have mounts, and they still talk about riding shè invincible." They can't keep the country outside the gate, which is tantamount to revenge. ”

Ji Ao Kendao, "This really makes sense, when will this year's Horse God Festival start?"

Zu Xing said, "Just two days later. Fifteen miles outside Jinzhou City, the largest horse temple outside, where the shaman is the great shaman in the minds of the Manchurians, the magic is boundless, and this time the big sacrifice is presided over by him. ”

Ji Aojian stayed in the Triumph shop for one night, and the next day he took his horse and followed the endless flow of people to the Horse Temple.

He guessed in his heart that most of the people who assassinated the horses on the Daling River Ranch last year were the Heavenly Demon Sisters. I think that the grandmaster outside the Guanwai also found out that she had turned her target to the horses, so he rushed to Jinzhou and prepared to round her up.

After walking for two hours, I saw a horse temple leaning against a small hill and facing the pasture. There are also countless tents outside the temple, all of which are herdsmen who have come to participate in the big sacrifice to ask for blessings.

Ji Aojian also pretended to be a shepherd who begged for the blessing of the horse, and entered the horse temple to ask for incense.

There are three main gods in the main hall of the horse temple, the horse god in the center, and the medicine god and the dragon god on both sides. The horse god blesses the horses to reproduce and rest, the god of medicine blesses the horses to be strong and less sick, and the dragon king blesses the abundance of water and plants. These three have their own duties and are most useful for raising horses.

Ji Aojian looked up, only to see that there was also an eye on the forehead on the statue of the horse god, and he said in his heart, he said that the prince of Ma had three eyes, so it was.

After worshipping the main hall, Ji Aojian walked into the side hall, and saw that there were various other gods enshrined here, including Guanyin, Rulai, and Sanqing, and he was a little speechless.

The worship of the people at the bottom is really the most realistic, and only choose the most useful, regardless of the level of the god in your religious genealogy.

The Manchu people in Northeast China believe in shamanism, which means "witch" and worships primitive gods. Later, the Qing army entered the customs, and shamanism also kept pace with the times, introducing a lot of Buddhism and Taoism gods, but still according to the number of ways to worship the primitive gods, not only did not ask about the authentic genealogy, but even the gods and monsters of the wild road did not refuse.

For example, there are several prototypes of this horse god, and one of them is said to come from the image of Yin Jiao in the folk god novel, so it is three eyes. And according to the novel, Prince Yin Jiao has two generals named Wen Liang Ma Shan, both of whom are good names for raising horses.

Ji Aojian turned around, didn't find any clues, and simply went to see the great wizard.

It is also easy to meet the Great Wizard, as long as you ask him to "invite" the artifact, you can see it. However, the "please" fetish is worth money, and the god that you want to "please" is even more extraordinary and valuable to see the great wizard.

The great sorcerer of this temple is named Usai, with colorful headdresses and gorgeous and colorful robes, and his face is a mask of unknown gods, and his eyes are shining, as if he has a great mood in his heart.

It is said that Master Usai invited the gods to be the most spiritual, and all the gods and gods could possess him, and he could subdue demons and pray for blessings.

Ji Aojian saw that on the case in front of the great wizard, in addition to placing all kinds of shamanic weapons, there was no shortage of Buddhist beads, talismans, peach wood swords, etc., thinking that he was eclectic in the witchcraft career, absorbing the strengths of others, and quite having the mind and spirit of a generation of grandmasters.

There are four or five female disciples behind Master Usai, who are also dressed in various gorgeous costumes, wearing masks, and holding a plate of evil spirits for the believers to invite, including tambourine, waist bells, bronze mirrors, copper knives, and so on.

Listening to the master muttering a few words of Manchu, a female disciple spoke, and said in a dry voice, "The great wizard said that he has personally consecrated these divine objects, and you can use them with confidence after you invite them." ”

Nowadays, nine times out of ten, the Manchus will not be able to speak Manchu, but the shaman, as a spiritual teacher, is still insisting on national characteristics. It's a pity that they spoke Manchu language, and even Manchu people couldn't understand much, so they had to ask their disciples to translate it.

Ji Aojian asked curiously, "Are there any differences in the effectiveness of these gods in exorcising evil spirits?"

Master Usai said again, and the female disciple said, "The more precious it is, the more effective it is." This Nine Links is perfect for you. ”

Ji Aojian looked fixedly, and on the plate she was holding in her hand, there was indeed a nine-ring chain, and she couldn't help but be surprised: Even my Chinese educational toys, you all use them as shamanic artifacts, this master is really broad-minded.

"How much money do you have to give to invite these nine links?"

The female disciple said, "Only one hundred taels of silver." After you go, if you can unlock all nine rings before tomorrow, you will be blessed with both blessings. ”

Ji Aojian responded, "Okay, I'll buy it." ”

He bought nine rings and went out of the temple gate, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, why did I really spend a hundred taels of silver to buy a toy just now?

It seems that this religious atmosphere really has a kind of magic power, which can unconsciously affect people's hearts. It is no wonder that from ancient times to the present, no matter how society develops, there is always room for development in religion that can comfort people's hearts.

Ji Aojian returned to his tent, waiting for tomorrow's big sacrifice to come, and when he had nothing to do, he dismantled the nine chains.

In terms of cultural meaning, the nine rings are a symbol of wisdom, and there is a folk proverb, "the differences that cannot be solved are easy, and the nine links that cannot be taken off" can be discussed.

It is connected into a string with nine rings, which can be set into flower baskets, hydrangeas, palace lamps, etc. Its solutions are diverse, can be divided or combined, and there are many changes, and it takes a total of 341 steps to solve all nine rings.
