Chapter 401: The Tree of Life

Do you know what the Living Tree, the Cosmic Tree, and the Ladder of Heaven are?

The shamanic cosmology of the northern ethnic minorities believes that there is a tall cosmic god tree, also known as the shaman tree, which penetrates into the heavens and supports the nine heavens, and its branches connect the abode of the gods and goddesses, and the roots connect to the earth. For more exciting, please visit the Shaman Divine Soul to Heaven is through this tall sacred tree, and the ascension of the human soul to heaven is also to shake the sacred tree and enter the dome.

I remember that "The Eagle Worship of the Siberian Peoples" records that the Xibe shaman held an ascension ceremony in the primitive period, and there was a tall sacred tree engraved with nine heavens.

Later, the concept of the cosmic tree of various ethnic groups in the north derived the high mountains, divine rods, and ladders of heaven, and believed that the high mountains, divine poles and ladders that towered into the sky could support the sky or reach the sky.

Only after climbing the ladder to heaven and paying homage to the shamanic ancestor "Mama Isanzhu" and the gods can you have the ability to reach the heavens and become the "Iltu Shaman". To this day, the Xibe people still have the belief and custom of worshiping tall ancient trees. The Manchus also have the custom of setting up "Sora" to worship the heavens and the spirits of their ancestors in the sky.

The ladder and sacred tree that appear in Xibe folk paper-cutting, embroidery and other works of art are the remnants and embodiment of the Xibe primitive shamanic belief concept of "cosmic tree". In modern Xibe folklore,

The pattern of the sacred tree is mostly used in folk wedding ceremonies, known as the tree of reproduction and the tree of life, or appears alone or with flowers, birds, grass insects, fruits, and characters, becoming the happy flowers of the wedding celebration.

It implies the reproduction of reproduction and life and the good wish of eternal life, and the image of "ladder" is mostly used in folk funeral activities, embroidered on the sole of the deceased's life shoes, becoming a symbol to guide the soul of the deceased to ascend to heaven.

There was a knife ladder not far in front of Xie Yuying, a very long knife ladder.

I don't know where this is, and I've long forgotten how I got here. All she remembered was riding her bike through the fog, with something jumping behind her in pursuit. So she ran desperately, and the things behind her still followed unhurriedly, until she fled home, opened the door, and didn't have time to take off her shoes and desperately got into the bed. Hiding his head, his body trembling with fear.

But the damn voice didn't go away. It actually followed her home, and she didn't know how to get in, but it just jumped the whole room. Then he jumped to his room.

The closed door did not hinder the entry of the thing at all, and Xie Yuying tugged at the quilt tightly, silently reciting the names of all the gods he knew. But to no avail, the thing paused for a moment in front of her bed, and jumped on top of her.

Then, she fainted from excessive fear.

When I woke up, I came to this hellish place.

The surroundings are very dark, and everywhere you can see is a dark red background, and the dim red is shocking and depressing.

The bottom of the seemingly endless knife ladder was full of patches of flowers, blooming with a strange and intense color that was close to red and black, and it was a red that could dye everything shockingly like fire, blood, and in a daze.

She recognized this flower, it was actually the flower of the other side!

Could it be that I have already braided my hair? It's impossible, if you are still conscious, how can a ghost still know pain? She pinched her thigh hard and sighed helplessly. What the hell is this place, could it be that I was caught by a ghost and is about to become a ghost?!

She smiled wryly and looked around again.

There seems to be something in the knife ladder. Xie Yuying built a bridge with her hand in her eyes and looked into the distance, and it was not easy to see clearly. In the place where the knife ladder does not know how far, there is really something. It was a tree, a tree with a bronze sheen.

I don't know why I can see it so clearly, and even the details are clear. The trunk of the tree is about 30 meters high, and the branches are luxuriant. The trunk is slightly conical, the bottom is circular, and the top of the tree is surrounded by a thick mist. There seem to be three strange mountains on the side of the main trunk, and the mountains are also full of clouds and smoke, so I can't see the reason at all.

The trunk of the tree is at the top of the mountain, the trunk is very straight, and there are a lot of roots exposed. The trunk has three layers of branches, each of which has three branches. The ends of the branches seem to have fiery red fruits.

It seems that walking the knife ladder is the only way to choose. After carefully looking at it for a long time, Xie Yuying came to this conclusion. She thought for a moment and decided to take a gamble. The body was still trembling with fear, gritting his teeth, lifting his feet, and finally stepping on it.

My heart was beating wildly with fear, but there was always a voice in my heart encouraging me, supporting my already frightened and imminent collapse.

Either way, it's going to die. At least, see him at the end......

Die in his arms!

It has been said that everything in this world is fair. Give you some, you're bound to lose some. And so something interesting happened. It's very interesting.

For example, this handsome guy standing in front of me with a smile on his lips.

As usual, I introduce myself, I am silent at night, a well-intentioned person, but not very lucky lately.

Otherwise, according to his own personality in the past, this guy who smiled very brightly and kept spreading his hands at me and Yang Junfei would have been finished.

It's good, because he's going to be finished. Because after Yang Junfei and I glanced at each other, they acted quietly and silently.

I leisurely pushed a fake friendly smile at the handsome guy, so fake that I felt like I was smiling very happily, "It's funny, I didn't expect to meet my peers." ”

The man didn't say a word, just smiled, and didn't mean to retract his outstretched hand in the slightest.

I continued to laugh and glanced at the evidence room, "There's a lot of stuff in there, we haven't finished it, please take care of yourself." ”

The man shook his head with a smile, and finally spoke, "I only need a human avatar." ”

Sure enough, it's coming for this thing, and it's getting more and more interesting.

"Human heads? What is it? I haven't seen it at all. "Fools can see that I don't hide that I'm lying.

"yes, oh." The man's smile froze on his face, and he quickly withdrew his hand, his gaze fixed on Yang Junfei.

I frowned, the action was discovered? No, although there are many complaints about the old man, I still trust his strength very much.

The man didn't do anything, just looked at Yang Junfei.

"He." The man gestured to the old man.

Yang Junfei immediately laughed, "Duck to the mouth, do you think we will spit it out?" ”

The man gave us a cruel look, "I can't help you." ”

When he said those words, at that moment, I don't know if it was an illusion, I suddenly felt his eyes light up violently, and his head was dizzy for a while.
