The Ojags and Soybulag, located in the village of Kara Pirim, were places of pilgrimage. There was an oak tree growing in front of Black Pirim's hearth, and when it was broken, blood supposedly flowed. A man named Sultan breaks this oak branch and brings it home, he sees that blood is flowing from the tree, he carries it to the molla, the molla says take it back, you will suffer great damage. Soon after, the man's daughter Gamar fell into a tendril and burned to death. And he himself went to war and never came back.
