"You shouldn''t have asked me about fire. You should ask Li Chou. He is the closest person in this tribe to the fire spirit. " After taking a sip of milk tea, ensord looked at the fire under the pot. The fire looked harmless and easy to control, but the White Wolf knew that it was only a representation. No matter how big the fire was, what kind of fire it was, as long as they were given a chance, they could make the whole grassland rise.
"Li Chou, is this tribe Shaman''s name?" Cheese wrote down the name in silence. As long as the name is correct, even if it is not the real name, the mage can get a lot of information, "I heard that your tribe has only one shaman, which is too few for a tribe of this size. Is there any reason for that? "
Instead of asking for personal information about Li Chou, the other party turned to concern about the number of shamans in the tribe. To be honest, the white wolf was relieved. In any case, the purpose and identity of the grey robed man is still uncertain. Although he claims to be a traveler, and what he and his companions do in the city center also vaguely support this point, deception is nothing unusual in that civilization. It seems that all creatures, not just human beings, are born to cheat.
Therefore, ensord didn''t want to reveal more personal information about Li Chou. After all, it was their only shaman.
"The spirit of fire is special." When the White Wolf said this, the expression on his face was somewhat complicated. As the son of the wolf owner, he also survived the ceremony under the gaze of the spirit of fire. This is why even his brothers and sisters and even his father himself did not like him, but he still had to admit his identity. "In other tribes, shamans are selected from ordinary people by the spirits and people who are already shamans. After a long time of training and learning, they can finally become people who serve gods. But in our tribe, shamans are not created by the people. "
The shaman of the tribe is not held by the native people, which is a secret and not a secret in the tribe. It''s a secret because no one will take the initiative to mention it. For the tribe, where the shaman comes from is not important. As long as he comes here and begins to serve the tribe, he is a member of the tribe. What''s more, it is said that those who try to find the places where the shamans of all ages come from often don''t come to a good end. As for the part that it is not a secret, it is that the children in the tribe still know about it. For the people, shamans come from outside the tribe, just as it is natural for the shaman to come from outside the tribe. It is not something that needs to be kept secret, so it is not worth mentioning.
"Don''t you doubt this? If the Shaman is from abroad, I don''t mean that it can''t work, but the gods worshiped by the tribe are the core of the tribe. It''s OK to have a foreign shaman occasionally, but it''s true that every generation has one. " Batu couldn''t help but say that although the water antelope tribe was weak and could not cultivate shamans who were worthy of being used as Wuqi when they were young, they still understood how important the shaman in the tribe was. As the spiritual leader of the whole tribe, Shaman''s existence is far more than a doctor and a diviner.
However, the mage did not show much surprise. As he once said, the existence of the spirit of fire itself is weird. As a shaman who serves this strange god, there are many strange places. But the words of white wolf do give cheese enlightenment. If every generation of Shaman comes from outside the tribe, how are they trained? How can generations of shamans succeed smoothly without ever causing problems? One possibility is slowly forming in the mage''s mind, but it''s not sure.
"It has nothing to do with that. Tribes and shamans have been traditions since ancient times, so it is necessary to understand them as some kind of transaction or contract. " Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. Telling some stories can just pass the time. At ordinary times, ensoud is not likely to be so interested in telling the legend of the tribe to outsiders. "In the era when my tribe did not use fire spirit as the totem, there were terrible disasters in that time, and the suffering led by alai''er swept the grassland. First, there was a three-year drought without a drop of rain; then there was a three-year flood, endless drizzle, and a flood of one person high drowned everything. All kinds of demons come out of the caves, feed on human beings, kill people for pleasure, and scream incessantly day and night. If the tribes are scattered, even the spirits can''t help if they want to help. "
"My ancestors are besieged by the flood. They are a group of refugees from all over the world. They can''t find food, and they are also targeted by demons. They see that the whole tribe will be reduced to their playthings. At that time, the first shaman to serve the spirit of fire appeared. It is said that he has two faces, one kind and the other angry. When his kind face opens his eyes, the flood is calm, the vegetation grows, the disease is cured, and the cattle and sheep are fat. When his angry face opens his eyes, the demons flee, the wind stops, the jackals are not near, and the disaster does not come
"He saved my ancestors and the whole grassland. He convinced the spirit in the rain to stop the rain and fought alai''er back with him. After that, he went to the ministries to help them recover from the disaster and taught them to train new shamans. Finally, he returned to the tribe of my ancestors and died of overwork. In his last years, he spoke of his faith and told us of the existence and greatness of the spirit of fire. The second year after his death, the tribe worshipped the spirit of fire as a totem. Another year later, the second shaman found us, and since then, generations have continued to this day. "Teapot, empty, like the story in the mouth of the white wolf. Batu has heard of the great disaster he mentioned. In fact, not only he, but all the tribes on the grassland have corresponding legends, but in these legends, the people who finally solved the disaster and the solutions are different. But no matter how the disaster was eventually resolved, it was once there, and it''s very credible.
"The spirit in the rain..." Cheese chewed on the name, it reminds him of an evil god he once encountered, wandering in the rain, wet soul. That evil god is completely in line with the image of the spirit in the rain, and may also cooperate with people. This description has high credibility, because compared with most legends that attribute the disaster to gods or heroes in the past, there is a character who has nothing to do with the tribe in the story told by the White Wolf, but it is this character who, together with the protagonist of the story, solves the whole disaster. It''s not good for the shaman itself, is it? And even, to some extent, took away the credit of the first shaman.
"Do you want to see the ugly?" Aware of the mage''s fascination with mythology, ensord said.
"Can you tell me where he is?" Cheese nodded without denying it. One of the purposes of his coming today is to meet the rumored shaman.
"Well, you may be disappointed. Shaman fasts before the fire calls and lives in isolation. He won''t see anyone until the ceremony is over."
