Verse 402: The content of Tabi
Mu Sheng had no choice but to think about it himself, the witches in Luoyun Village either didn't know it because of their limited level, or they were old and refined like Xianniang, and they would never tell Mu Sheng the secrets of their clan. In fact, this old ancestor has already taken care of the two Mu Sheng, and most of the things they want to learn have been taught to the two of them through Qi Qi.
Feeling his kindness, Mu Shengjiang also taught the "Huang Ting Inner and Outer Classics" to Qi Mi, although this is only a cultivation of the true introductory exercises, but it is the only way to lay the foundation, if Qi Qi can rely on this sutra to cultivate to the realm of three flowers, and then change to other orthodox advanced exercises There is no difficulty, there will be no conflict or sequelae in the exercises, it is the only way to lay the foundation for cultivating the truth.
Unexpectedly, Qi Qi not only learned the talisman very quickly, but also had a good understanding of the cultivation journey, and in just three months, he had already passed Xiao Zhoutian. On the one hand, this is because of its super understanding, and on the other hand, it is also because of the abundant spiritual energy in the ancestral continent.
Mu Sheng sighed when he knew it, and said in his heart: "This reincarnation is really a technical job, if you are reincarnated in Zuzhou, you will have to practice for many years casually, and you can live a long life." It's really not comparable to Shenzhou. ”
Three months passed quickly in the process of learning from each other, Yanyun Eighteen Villages ushered in the once every ten years of the witch heir competition, this big competition in addition to the children of the witch family can participate, there are young men and women in the village who are interested in witches can participate, these people can get the qualification of wizards through the daily accumulation of self-study. In the religious activities they usually attend, they gradually become familiar with various rituals and incantations, and once they encounter a shaman in their village who has no successor due to old age or death, as long as they are willing to do it, they can take the exam, and after the exam, they may be favored by a witch and accepted as a doorman.
At the beginning of practice, those who are called wizards in this way have to sacrifice the "Dong Jia Wei" in their families, and then kill a chicken, and use the opportunity to kill the chicken to predict whether they will be auspicious after becoming a wizard according to the shape of the corn, so as to decide whether to be a wizard. When the white chicken is killed and sacrificed, after the whole chicken has been cooked, if the shape of the chicken's eyes is the same (or open, closed, convex, or concave), it is a sign of good luck after becoming a wizard. Otherwise, it is considered unlucky to be a wizard, so you give up the idea of becoming a wizard. After killing the chicken and getting an auspicious omen, he used a big rooster to worship the ancestors, and asked the ancestors to bless him with good luck after becoming a wizard.
The competition is divided into a primary competition, and an intermediate competition and the final big competition, the initial comparison is only to test the ability of divination, roughly there are shoe divination, rice divination, grass divination, egg cloth and hand divination, whether it is "Yin transmission" or "Yang transmission" can participate.
Shoe divination, first tie the tip of the straw shoes with one or two straws, and then gently wipe the cloth tendons torn from the person's clothes and pants on the shoes a few times, and start divination after wiping. During divination, according to the questions you want to ask, you will recite the words and ask each ghost one by one.
Grass cloth, put a handful of barberry leaves prepared in advance on the ground, then pick three pieces and hold them in your hand, gently wipe them up and down several times with the cloth tendons cut from the person's body, recite the divination in your mouth, and while reading, use your thumb and index finger to pinch the central vein of three barberry leaves, about five inches long, and then use four fingers side by side to compare, one by one, each broken into three equal parts, and is not allowed to break. After folding, the three are lined up side by side, and the comparison is made to see if the traces of each root are neat, if not, how much is the difference, and what shape is formed. In this way, after folding several times, the result of the question is determined according to the state of the traces formed by each folding, which is called the grass divination.
Rice ribs, use a bowl to hold rice and the patient's cloth tendons, the cloth tendons should be shallowly buried in the rice and placed in the dustpan, recite the divination, and rotate the bowl several times to see where the cloth tendons appear in the bowl after each rotation, and what is the shape of the rice noodles, so as to determine what ghosts and gods are doing to the patient;
When divining eggs, first hold a bowl of cold water in a bowl, recite the divination words, and then use chopsticks to stir quickly in the direction of the season. Stir it, put the chopsticks in the middle of the bowl, put in the cloth tendons, and then quickly break the raw eggs, put the egg whites and egg yolks into the water together, and wait for the water to be quiet, see whether the cloth tendons are sinking or floating, which direction they stop, and what signs are on the egg whites and egg yolks, so as to judge the situation asked. This is the method of knowing ghosts and gods.
Hand divination is similar to the palmistry that Mu Sheng has seen, but people of the Oribe tribe can see what is going to happen in the near future from the lines in their hands, but it is a very clever divination method. However, Mu Sheng was not interested in divination, so he did not ask them for advice.
The intermediate competition is the categories of sacrifice, expulsion, prayer, sending, and teaching, and if these categories can be passed, you can basically consider tailoring.
The person participating in the competition wears a half-barrel-type "official hat" with a long pheasant tail on his head, wears a long robe, wears a cotton thread like a knife belt on his chest, holds a long pole shuttle in his left hand, holds a firewood knife and a bunch of barma leaves in his right hand, and walks into the sacrificial field majestically. At this time, one of the participants immediately picked up the gong from the table and struck it continuously for about half a minute. The person who participated in the competition approached the middle of the sacrificial table, reached out and grabbed a handful of rice from the shengzi, kept throwing it forward, reciting the eulogy to the thunder god or the ancestral witch to order, the exorcism needs some real skills, during the competition, the witch will catch some real ghosts from the skull mountain, of course, the grade is low, let these people use spells to drive away, whether it is a talisman or a spell, or whatever, as long as the ghosts can be driven away from the competition field, it is considered to win.
Prayer is a technique that cannot be seen at that time, it is a blessing to others, and it often takes a while to show the results, if the prayer at that time can make the patient heal, needless to say, it must be a good one.
Sending away bad luck and blessing is the same as praying, and the results cannot be seen at that time.
There is some knowledge in teaching one technique, and there seems to be some connection with the new "Cave Sutra" and the secret technique of cultivating the corpse in the Musheng Temple. People have three souls and seven spirits, and some people believe that after people die, one of the deceased returns to the sky, one guards the grave or wanders in the wild, and one enters the house to live on the incense case. In order for these spirits to go where they are supposed to go, after death, a sorcerer must be invited to teach the soul.
