Only then did An Jianhua realize that he had said such a word just now, he scratched his head after thinking for a long time and said:
"My grandma likes to call it like this. This word is not the language of the Yugur people. If you look back, this is a name for Huihe in the Huihe language. After all, we always feel that we are children of Huihe."

Zhou Ning nodded.

"Understood, although Huihe no longer exists, Yugu people feel that they are still Huihe people and hope to be blessed by their ancestors. Even though the belief has branches and is not unified, the belief in their ancestors still exists. Is this what you mean?"

"Yes."

Zhou Ning waved at Da Zhao, and Da Zhao directly turned to the photo of the eight silkworm cocoons. Although there was not enough light in the cave, the photo was taken very clearly.

"This was taken at the entrance of the cave. Before entering the cave of the Buddha statue, eight cocoon-like things were hung on the top of the cave, and blood-red stones were used underneath to make plates. I want to know that your ancestors had such Is it the way of memorial service?"

The old lady stood up, not sure if she couldn't see clearly, she had already leaned in front of the screen, then pointed at the screen, and after a while, An Jianhua quickly translated.

"Is this enlarged? Or is it the open one? Is there a dead person inside?"

Zhou Ning nodded, and Da Zhao continued to click on the next picture, which showed the appearance of a mummy.

"There are children here, both male and female. We just dissected one of them. They lost their eyes, tongue, teeth, and blood. They were embalmed, their digestive tract was emptied, and they were made into mummified corpses. We analyzed the dagger, which is Soaked in the blood released by these eight children, the mark was finally left.

I don't know if you are of the same origin, and I don't know what is the relationship with the Yugu people, but this ceremony did not happen in a very recent time. We roughly estimate that it was about 20 years ago. Do you know about such a ceremony? "

The old lady averted her eyes and remained silent for a long time.

Zhou Ning could see this action clearly, especially because the old lady was still rubbing the huge silver enamel bracelet on her wrist, which was inlaid with turquoise and various gemstones. You can tell from the traces that this thing is definitely very old.

Zhou Ning was not in a hurry. After all, there was no point in urging him. Instead, he waited quietly at this time, and there might be something to gain. Seeing that Zhou Ning and Liu Yufei were so calm, Fang Dongsheng didn't say much. There are not five cases in total, not to mention experience.

The old lady sighed, let go of the hand holding the bracelet, and began to speak. An Jianhua translated sentence by sentence:

"All the ceremonies are handed down orally. There are drawings behind the scriptures. There are many similar ceremonies with different meanings. There are special selection of dumb women. As you said, this process is just a complete skin, making Ajie drums.

After all, dumb girls have never spoken, which is the purest symbol. The Ajie drums they make are also the purest. The Ajie drums are used to ring every time they pay homage, to respond to God and thank God for his blessings.

You may think that such sacrificial rituals are incomprehensible, but in our belief, death is not terrible. It is like a new life, returning to nature. As a part of reincarnation, harmony and happiness are the most important. Suffering in this life, the next life In order to have blessings to patronize.

The eight boys and girls were made into things like cocoons and hung on the ceiling of the cave, and this series of techniques, I think it is the eight senses of closed offerings.

The eight consciousnesses include eye consciousness, ear consciousness, nose consciousness, tongue consciousness, body consciousness, consciousness, mana consciousness (thought) and alaya consciousness (seed), and the eight consciousnesses are closed. There are eight children in total. Yaohuer's holy knife acts as a guide, leading Asura to come. "

Zhou Ning listened carefully, but he really didn't understand some of the words in it. An Jianhua helped mark some of them. As for Asura, he obviously couldn't explain it either.

"I don't know how to translate it. Asura is considered a low-level demigod. There are six forms in samsara. That is to say, people who enter samsara will return in the form of Asura if they have evil thoughts. Such a ceremony is to induce Come to Asura, they may assume the form of gods."

Having said that, he asked the old lady again in doubt, and the old lady explained patiently, and then suddenly realized:
"What my grandma means is that these asuras are like seeds, which are scattered and cultivated in the world, and may one day become demigods admired by the people, or even be regarded as the incarnation of gods, and create their own beliefs.

But I don't believe that this was not done by the ancient Boye. Although they were exterminated by the eight major families, they still believe in Green Tara. The blood lotus symbolizes the vigorous vitality and spreads the tribe like seeds. Yugu people, who doesn't have some Boyogu blood? "

The old lady was very excited, Zhou Ning quickly pressed down with both hands.

"Don't get excited, we're just analyzing. For a cave that has been closed for more than 400 years, there will be someone inside who will perform such a professional ceremony, and even know how to seal the eight senses and summon Asura. After all, there are still eight coffins inside that have not been opened."

Speaking of this, Zhou Ning paused, motioned to Da Zhao to give him the file bag, took out the photos inside, and handed it to the old lady.

"Old man, this is the painted painting on the eight coffins. We analyzed that the age of these painted background colors is consistent with the age when the cave was built, but a large part of it has been repainted. I don't know which one you are talking about. Is the ceremony related?"

The old lady looked at it.

"My grandma said that these scenes are the ritual process described. There are several rituals, no wonder they can understand them in such detail. One of them is to call the warriors to get the blessing of their ancestors.

It seems that the ancestors of Boyegu, before they died, hoped that future generations would use their corpses to summon the next generation to become warriors and lead them to be able to protect the homeland, but future generations may not know this place.

But who found it here?We have lived here for generations without knowing their existence. Who found these, imitated this ritual activity, and summoned Asura, is it for the purpose of creating gods? "

After saying the last few words, An Jianhua was stunned. It is hard to imagine that his grandma would say such radical words.

Zhou Ning nodded in approval.

Yes, he also thinks so at the moment. This is the oblique religion. It has only been 20 years. How far has this god-making plan progressed?
"When we found this hole, we suspected that it was the behavior of the oblique religion. We just don't know whether these people are active in the local area. We will investigate this later. I have one last question. Please ask the old man. You said before that in the 60 Years ago, I went to the big boss's house and saw the holy knife.

So, has this holy knife been kept at the big boss's house?Or do you guys take turns keeping it?And after participating in the ceremony, have you seen the holy knife again?Or have you heard rumors about the Holy Knife? "

The old lady shook her head.

"At that time, it was just a few years after the founding of the country, and our tribe was treated very loosely. A lot of animal husbandry policies were given, and grasslands and gathering areas were divided. After that, there were no ceremonies, let alone similar activities.

After all, life is different now. At first they lived in yurts, nomadic around, and lived a difficult life. Now they live in brick houses in various villages, learning various techniques, cultivating new breeds of sheep with high wool production, and traditional Chinese medicine. material picking.

Every family lives without praying or seeking God’s blessings. As long as they are willing to endure hardships, they can have good income. Moreover, many people in the family now wear ordinary clothes and speak Mandarin, no different from Han people. Remember Holy Knife?Who needs such a ritual? "

The words of the old lady can be said to be quite high-level. This era is like this. It is quite difficult to starve a person to death. As long as you work hard and accept changes, you can have a very good life.

"That is to say, in the past 60 years, no one has mentioned the holy sword, and no one in the clan has cared about it, and no one remembers Boyegu, but you still recognized it at a glance?"
