"Wow, you know so much!"

"No more. With a smile on her face, she replied humbly.

Liu Kayan smiled on the side: "You forgot that Xianniang is the ancestor of his family!"

"Oh, no wonder. He nodded in agreement.

Before a few people arrived at the square, Mu Sheng saw some people sitting on the hillside from a distance, but most of them were young men and women of the same age as Liukar Yan, but there were no adults. Mu Sheng smiled and knew that it was the adults who didn't come because of face, but he didn't want his children to miss the opportunity to study, so they were all half-grown children.

"Why didn't you see Du Rau?" asked Tan Taixin, who didn't see Du Rau in the crowd.

"He, if you call him to hunt and fight, and you call him to study, then you might as well kill him. Qi Qi smiled: "Basically the descendants of the witch family who come here. ”

Mu Sheng glanced at the people in the audience: "I see, since everyone has some foundation, then I will directly talk about the truth of the talisman." ”

Mu Sheng thought about it, and suddenly remembered what Elder Jiang once said: "The talisman is actually derived from witchcraft, the traces of birds and beasts, the principle of clouds and mist, the sun, moon and stars, and the trajectory of heaven and earth. The so-called Taoist book "Fu has no positive form, and it is spiritual with qi".

After a day of study yesterday, Mu Sheng is now able to converse in Youhu dialect, but he will inevitably stumble and not be so flexible in language.

"This rune is the rune we use, and the rune you are using now belongs to the original rune. Mu Sheng said and took out a fire talisman from his bosom and threw it into the air, and the talisman instantly burned into a ball of fire. There was an exclamation in the audience.

"Does it seem that your talisman is more powerful?" asked Liukayan, whose eyes lit up.

Mu Sheng shook his head and said, "No, your talisman also has your strengths, but it is much more complicated to draw, and the effect is a little slower." ”

Qi Qi said: "That is, otherwise, the old ancestor would not have united with other villages to repel so many attacks." ”

At first, those young boys and girls were still a little restrained, but seeing that Qi Qi and Liukayan were chatting happily with Mu Sheng on the side, they also put their restraint aside and slowly communicated with Mu Sheng.

At the beginning, Taixin was still quite interested in listening, but because he didn't learn the language of the Yu people with Mu Sheng yesterday, as soon as the freshness passed, he was like listening to the book of heaven, and he couldn't understand a few words. Coupled with the fact that Mu Shengsu talked about the art of talismans, Taixin was not interested, and he couldn't help but fall asleep later.

Mu Sheng couldn't cry or laugh when he saw it, so he had to let him meditate on the spot and cultivate on the spot. After settling down here, Mu Sheng continued to communicate with everyone until the evening.

After a day of communication, Mu Sheng also generally understood the origin of the inheritance of the witches of the Oribe clan. They choose a successor to the wizard, have strict moral character requirements, and are subject to a "physical examination" assessment. After a personal examination of the sorcerer in charge, if he is considered to be a person who is faithful and kind, believes in magic, respects his teacher, is sincere in learning his art, and can speak well, he can be absorbed as a preparatory apprentice and begin to learn rituals, rituals, and spells. After being able to recite the sacrificial words, the "physical examination" test is conducted.

If you want to become a wizard in charge, you must abide by the precepts and consistently adhere to good daily behavior: do not eat animal meat with five claws, do not touch the corpse of a dead person, do not help people carry coffins, if there is a dispute with someone, you must not hurt someone, do not eat all kinds of animal meat that is killed by a tiger or die of disease, and it is not allowed to fight or use foul language with others, let alone robbery, theft, or gambling.

Inheritance is divided into two types: yang transmission and yin transmission, which are called "yin transmission". Think it's divinely granted. The so-called divine endowment means that when someone suddenly gets a serious illness and is unconscious for a long time, it is considered that the patient is dealing with God, receiving God's teachings, understanding God's will, and becoming God's spokesman after recovery. This kind of wizard thinks that there are always at least twenty or thirty kinds of souls attached to him, and if he does not become a wizard, the ghosts and gods will come and sow him and make him crazy, so once the ghosts and gods possess him, he has to do it. At that time, a piece of red paper was cut into a row of human shapes, pasted in front of the ancestral incense, and a horizontal board was nailed to the wall, and two or three teacups were offered on it. In the future, the heads of oxen, pigs, and dogs used in hunting ghosts must be brought back for sacrifice. If the ghost is hunted with chickens and ducks, it is not necessary to bring them back for sacrifice.

The second way of inheritance is to learn from people who understand witches without going through divine instruction, and learn from them sentence by sentence, which is called "Yang Chuan". In addition to worshipping ghosts and gods, they are also very familiar with the heavenly stems and earthly branches, the five elements of yin and yang, divination and astrology, chanting spells and drawing talismans, etc., and are also proficient in medical skills, familiar with the calendar, real estate customs, stories, national history, etc. Generally speaking, they have a strong sense of comprehension and perception, extraordinary hearts, and many of them have been different from ordinary people in their life experiences, such as being cured of diseases that are difficult to recover, or having miraculous immortal experiences.

Those who learn witchcraft must go through three stages of investigation: "selecting disciples", "examining oneself", and "tailoring". "Selecting disciples" means that the sorcerer conducts a character investigation on the disciples who come to study; "physical examination" mainly examines whether the disciples can enter the role, and those who cannot enter are vulgar and persuade them to quit the school. "Tailor-made" is after three years and five years of study, and he became a teacher. Disciples can propose to the teacher to be "tailor-made" to become a teacher, and another legal altar (hereditary ones do not have another legislative altar), and a solemn ceremony must be held for "tailor-made". "When you are old, you will be a disciple.

Most of the young men and women who came to communicate with Mu Sheng in Luoyun Village were hereditary witch heirs. But they are not really witches, they can officially become witches after tailoring, and if they want to be tailor-made, they must pass the test of the sea of fire on the knife mountain, "on the knife mountain" is commonly known as "stepping on the knife", according to the different personal abilities are divided into "stepping on the sky knife" and "stepping on the ground knife" two kinds. "Treading the Sky Knife" is held by the altar master holding the horn in his hand, reciting a mantra, leading the boy to pass the test, and climbing barefoot on the knife bar composed of 12 or 24 or 36 sharp knives. "Stepping on the ground knife" is to put the sharp knife mounted on the knife bar flat on the ground, the blade is facing upward, and the master of the altar pulls the boy barefoot to walk over the knife.
