After the war ended, Nikan returned to Durga.

To the west of Durga City, near the mountains and forests, a new high platform was built. On the high platform was a large iron pot filled with butter and firewood.

On the high platform, ten shamans from Sauron's tribes, headed by Mergen, were all dressed in black, with their hair disheveled, and a large number of skulls hanging on their chests - they were the heads of shamans from all generations in the tribe, and some of them were still there.

There are six bronze drums and a lot of instruments that can make sounds.

When the first ray of sunshine in the morning shone on the world, Morgan shouted loudly, and then started to hum. At this time, the masks on the faces of these eleven people were changed to bright red.

Morgan threw a burning piece of firewood into the iron pot, and the fire burst into flames.

"Ouch..."

There were a thousand people standing under the high platform. In addition to the 500 standing troops who stood solemnly, there were also all the representatives of the Uza tribe.

The long sounds hummed by the eleven shamans suddenly reminded Nikan in the audience of the shiver-inducing long tunes hummed by primitive African shamans when watching programs on the African grasslands in later generations.

The long tune seems to be the incarnation of grassland and forest. All the changes of cloud and sunshine, heavy rain and drought, the weak and the strong are hidden in this long sound. All the fair, unfair, cruel, peaceful, strong and weak scenes are all hidden in this long sound.

Transformed into tones.

Nikan couldn't help but be fascinated for a moment.

When the sun fully rose, the dance of the shamans began. Eleven people formed a circle, dancing heartily one by one, as if they had melted into one with the sun, and seemed to be telling something to the sun.

The dance towards the sun lasted for about half an hour. As the shamans danced on the high platform, the fire in the big iron pot flickered on and off, as if they were also receiving the shamans' prayers.

By this time, the sun had fully risen, and the fire was still burning fiercely. People wearing red masks kept coming to add firewood and butter.

At noon, under the direct sunlight, the shamans changed their masks again, which vaguely looked like mountains. At this time, the shamans began to dance towards Kent Mountain to the west. Compared with the dance of worshiping the sun from a distance,

The dance of worshiping the mountains must be more steady, much slower and more orderly.

However, the sudden shouts of the eleven shamans from time to time during their slow movements still caught the attention of everyone in the audience.

The next step is to worship the water god. Compared with worshiping the mountain god, the dance to worship the water god is much more complicated. At one time, the eleven shamans were like weak women dancing in the wind, at another time they were like a rushing river, and at another time they were still dancing.

It imitates the squeaking sound of a frozen river and when it thaws.

Then a ceremony to worship tigers, black bears, black wolves, eagles and giant snakes began.

When worshiping the tiger, the eleven people all wore tiger masks. Each person seemed to be the incarnation of the tiger, with their teeth and claws showing, as if they wanted to choose who they liked.

When worshiping the black bear, each person put on a bear skin and crawled slowly and heavily on the high platform. The dull shouts from time to time reminded the audience that they were Etyriken and Atizhiken.

When worshiping the black wolf, the hunting movements of a pack of wolves are completely imitated, and the roar emitted by Morgan is very much like a wolf.

When worshiping the eagle, each one performs gliding and striking with claws, as if they are the incarnation of the eagle.

When worshiping the giant snake, the eleven people were connected together, swaying and crawling to the rhythm of the dance, sometimes like a graceful dancing beauty, sometimes like a python striking with thunder.

The dance lasted for half a day, and the shamans only took a break while others added firewood and butter.

When night fell and a crescent moon hung on the treetops, a grand ceremony to worship the moon god began again. At this time, the male shamans offering sacrifices were replaced by several female shamans from the tribe.

With the gentle dance, graceful singing, and screams from time to time looking up at the moon, the female shaman seemed to be integrated with the moon. When the moon was hidden behind the dark clouds, the shamans also lay on the ground motionless.

When they broke through the dark clouds and came out, the shamans suddenly "awoke" again, and a clear whistle pierced the silent night sky.

The shaman's dance continued all night long, and the fire burned brightly all night long.

…

This is a grand funeral held by the Sauron people. This specification can only be enjoyed after the death of a big man like the Great Khan. It worships the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, tigers, black bears, black wolves, eagles, and giant snakes.

Only the warriors of the tribe who died in battle can enjoy it.

Yes, this was a funeral held specifically for Suha, one of Nikan's generals. Nikan named him the deputy khan of the Sauron people, so there was this grand funeral.

Although Suha was not killed in the battle, he was a valuable general under Nikan, and he grew up with Nikan. This friendship could not be separated after all. After much thought, Nikan finally decided to hold a ceremony for him.

The most solemn funeral of the Sauron people.

On the second day, under the watchful eyes of Nikan, Suha's parents, and all the shamans of the Sauron tribe, Suha's body was placed into a birch tree stump about three feet in diameter, six feet long, and hollowed out in the middle.

Suha, who was wrapped in white cloth, was put into the tree stump, covered with the tree cover and tied tightly with birch bark ropes.

Eight warriors from the standing army began to walk towards the jungle carrying the stump.

In the jungle, a huge pine tree had already been trimmed, and there were eight other standing army warriors on the tree.

As the tree stump was slowly hoisted onto the pine tree, all the shamans began to dance wildly. When the tree stump was placed, the dance stopped immediately.

After death, it is the dream of every Sauron person to be integrated with the earth and the jungle, and tree burial is the most desirable burial method for the Sauron people.

On a carefully selected tree, the soul shines with the sun and the moon. After two years, the soul should completely return to the eternal sky, and then be lowered from the tree and buried underground. This is the complete process of tree burial.

On that day, Nikan adopted Suha's younger brother, Chakdan, who was only fifteen years old, as his adopted son and placed him in the personal guard for training. At the same time, he asked Mergen, who was the Harada of Uzabu, to take care of Suha's parents.

The funeral of Suha, who was just a shepherd slave in the past, quickly spread throughout the entire north of Mobei. After hearing about it, all the young Sauron people became excited.

"I want to die for Aslan Khan" suddenly became the new dream of every Sauron boy.

Compared with Suha, Chakdan is taller and has fewer words. Compared with Suha's agility, Chakdan (pine tree) is more stable.

Compared with Suhana's amazing horseback shooting, Chakdan prefers to use firearms and sabers. He is also a young man who has studied at Chita School for three years.

The funeral held by Sauron for Suha was unprecedented in the forest in recent decades, and it spread rapidly from Durga to the north.

It first spread to Ye Lei's subordinates in the Wendo tundra, then to the Yakuts in the northern mountains, and finally spread through the Lena River to the largest gathering place of Yakuts - the place that later became Yakutsk.

No, we can't talk about future generations, because at this time, the Russians still came to this area.

Naturally, they abided by their agreement with Nikan - they would never go beyond Windo Castle. Windo Castle was a wooden fortress built at the mouth of the Wendo River where it merged into the Lena River. There were a hundred people stationed there all year round.

However, north of Lake Baikal, Central and Eastern Siberia is vast. In addition to the Lena River, there are many ways to reach Yakutsk. Among them, passing through the Upper Tunguska River and the Vilyui River is a shortcut.

As a result, the middle reaches of the Lena River Valley were still occupied by the Russians, and Yakutsk was built in advance.

Compared with the fierce Buryat Mongols, the Yakuts entrenched in the middle reaches of the Lena River are much easier to get along with.

Because their nation has been migrating since its birth. They originally lived in the grassland area on the west side of Lake Baikal and the upper reaches of the Yenisey River. Later, in order to avoid the Turks, they moved to the alpine zone in the northwest of Lake Baikal, and later in order to avoid the Mongols.

, and moved along the Lena River to its current location.

In the original history, with the arrival of the Russians, they began to migrate north and east, until they finally covered the entire eastern and central Siberia.

On both sides of Yakutsk, there are two tribes, which are also the two largest Yakut tribes in the Lena River Basin. The one on the west bank is called Omogoy, and the one on the east bank is called Orle.

Yakutsk is on the west bank. The Omogoy tribe is firmly controlled by the Cossacks. The Cossacks braved the cold and came to the vast Siberia, not just to occupy the land, but more importantly, to control the humans on the land.

.

The Omogoy tribe is under control, and the Orle tribe is also under control - at least that's what the newly appointed governor of Yakutsk thinks.

The river valley near Yakutsk is home to the largest number of Yakuts. Like other people in the forest, it is not uncommon for members of the same tribe to fight each other for pastures, woodlands, and livestock. In fact, now it stretches from the Lena River to the Aldan River.

The vast area between them is almost the territory of the Yakuts, and their total number of households is only just over 10,000. They can live in peace in such a vast territory.

But ignorance and bloodthirsty prevented them from doing this. Therefore, bloody things were staged in these places again and again, no less than the war between the wild people of the North Mountains and the Sauron people of the Nerchinsk Steppe.

The story of Suha's funeral and the entire Sauron tribe finally reached the Orle tribe on the right bank. The new Toyon (Halada) was Kuchuk. Kuchuk means "little one" in the Yakut language.

"Meaning (the Yakuts speak Turkic language), he was very small when he was born, much smaller than ordinary babies, but when he grew up, he was not small at all. He is now twenty-five years old and about 1.7 meters tall.

He is still a very tall person in the tribe.

Azige in the south is similar. Its name originally meant small, but it later grew into a giant.

The news about the Nikan and Sauron people from his fellow tribesmen in Beishan made Kuchuk fall into deep thought. Without this, under the pressure of Russia, he would have led his tribe to migrate eastward along the Aldan River, eventually paving the way.

The Bering Coast, the Okhotsk Coast and the mainland to the west are all covered, but now there is one more choice.

southward.

Different from other people living in the far north, the Yakuts are a nation that raises horses, sheep, cattle, and sheep. The Yakut horses with their thick fur will also be a wonder in later generations.

Kuchuk’s father’s name is Botha, which means “little camel.” However, there are no camels around the Yakut people today, which is nothing more than the good wishes of their ancestors.

However, if you want to migrate south, the best way is to go up the Lena River, reach the mouth of the Windo River, and then go south along the Windo River. However, you will definitely not escape the eyes of the Russians. They will not

Let the Yakuts leave.

Then we need to cross the entire wasteland composed of tundra, frozen soil, and forest to reach the Amgar and Aldan rivers east of the Lena River. From these two rivers, we can go south. The former was opened up by the Evenki people and leads directly to Heilongjiang.

The ancient road, which can resist the Jingqili River basin through a series of rivers.

Kuchuk decided to go directly to the Jinqili River Basin - Cossacks had already appeared in the Amga River Basin in the middle.
