Once again, I turned my gaze to the mysterious, graffiti-like symbols. In the dim light of the room www.biquge.info the lines of these symbols are sometimes thick and sometimes thin, like astrological charts, like rough topographic maps, like abstract forms of some animals, and like the depictions of many people's movements, but these movements overlap together and become a chaotic mess. Either way, I can't deny that I can feel the hidden power of the symbols, a force that draws people's thoughts and attention into them.

When Liao Huansheng said this, I have to agree with his inference, which is beyond imagination and reasonable. Just as I was deep in thought, Cao Team suddenly spoke: "Huansheng, even if your inference is correct, you still can't decipher the content of these words on the wall, the key is that you can't explain how these symbols ran to those suicides. Could it be that there is still a great witch who has survived all the way to Beijing and left words on the suicides? What is the purpose of his actions?"

Huansheng shook his head, still frowning. "I don't know, maybe by cracking these words, we'll have new clues, but it's not an overnight job, maybe a year, maybe ten years, the same as deciphering the code, sometimes it depends on luck. But I firmly believe that Xiao Fan may have cracked these words, or guessed the meaning of some of them. ”

"Why are you so sure?" said Team Cao handed Huan Sheng a cigarette.

"Because, if the mine accident is an accident, and it is razed to the ground, and everything is buried, it means that everything is over. A secret will always be a secret, and it has nothing to do with outsiders. If he was a professional engaged in the study of ancient characters, it would be understandable, but he was an art teacher, so he might not know anything about them. Xiao Fan was buried in the mine, even if Tang Binwen was full of remorse, but it was common sense that he would not continue to study ancient characters that had nothing to do with him, right? ”

Liao Huansheng paused, raised his eyes to look at me, sighed, and continued: "Sometimes, I think I am a person with very good intuition, but in the supernatural matter, I may not be one-tenth of the usual. At that time, I suddenly remembered what I had often told me about the four techniques of Buyeo, and simply let go of the idea of cracking the symbols, since last night, I have been studying what the four techniques of Buyeo are, but I didn't expect to find the key. ”

Liao Huansheng pointed to a large pile of books stacked on the coffee table, even if he looked at ten lines at a glance, I am afraid it would be impossible to read them in one day. He told us that there are not many scholars who study Goguryeo culture, and it is estimated that it was because Korea de-sinicized Goguryeo culture and prepared to take it for itself that attracted the attention of domestic scholars. In the limited research materials, there are almost no records of the four techniques of Buyeo. However, in several books written by Japanese scholars on the civilization of Northeast Asia in the forties and fifties, he found a few sporadic clues.

Japanese scholars did not know that there was such a thing as the Buyeo Four Techniques, but they only discovered that the great witches of Goguryeo had a great influence on the monarch. And the Great Witch is not appointed and dismissed by the monarch, but is passed down from generation to generation in the relationship between master and apprentice. Of course, the Great Witch will not be just a disciple, but in shamanism this is done very democratically, which is to conduct a secret examination similar to the imperial examination, select the best results, and then lead the Great Witch for a period of time, and pass the mantle to him when the Great Witch is approaching.

This kind of internal material selection examination is very mysterious, and it is difficult for outsiders to understand the specific content. But it is certainly not only witchcraft, but also includes statecraft, internal politics, military arrangement, architectural design and other aspects, which is a comprehensive ability to examine. In a sense, the Great Witch of Goguryeo held the most cutting-edge knowledge and technology of the time, and served the imperial court in a certain tightly organized way, which was the prototype of a government think tank, but with strong religious overtones.

Seeing this, Liao Huansheng intuitively discovered that Dawu is not only the inheritor of the primitive religion of Northeast China, but also has the shadow of the Mo family in many of its thoughts. The mysterious and obscure contents of democracy, technology, inheritance, enlightenment, public opinion, and city defense seem to be the improvement of primitive religion in Mohist thought, and the same ghosts and gods in Mohist thought do not conflict with primitive religious thought.

Liao Huansheng also thought that during the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo was destroyed by Li Ji, but Goguryeo witchcraft did not die out together, but from then on, it went to the people, went underground, and was still active in the vast countryside, and was slowly called shamanism. The folkification of shamanism actually caused the original witchcraft in the Mohist part of the concept of governance, military concepts, and construction techniques to slowly disappear, after all, for the local peasants, food and clothing are the most important, and treatment is the most useful. The things of the Mo family cannot be eaten or drunk, and it is useless to learn.

However, in the long history that followed, there was one thing that has been passed down, that is, the subversion of the Central Plains regime and the tireless attempt to rebel. Especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the fusion of shamanism with the White Lotus Sect and Baiguandao formed a very destructive religious organization, which has been active ever since. It was not until after the liberation that Xianglian Sect and Baiguandao were completely wiped out by New China.

With this revelation, Liao Huansheng thought that there would be no detailed description of witchcraft in the original Goguryeo literature, and perhaps some clues would be found in the later shamanic or White Lotus literature. The hard work paid off, and Liao Huansheng found a book published in the fifties at the county cultural center, called "Research on Shamanism in Northeast China". A thin one, with more than 100 pages, and only 500 copies have been printed judging from the printed information on the book.

The point is that there is also a borrowing record card at the back of the book, and for more than forty years, no more than ten people have borrowed it. Liao Huansheng found a familiar name at a glance, Tang Binwen. Judging from the borrowing time, it should have been after the mining accident. Liao Huansheng couldn't help but feel happy, it seemed that his path was not wrong.

Speaking of which, Liao Huansheng handed me the booklet that was yellowed and full of mold spots, pointed to the author's name on the cover, and told me, "Lao Chang, you see that the author of this book is called Wang Shusen, but unfortunately there is no information about the author in the book, but I have a hunch that another coincidence will appear." ”

"Huansheng, are you saying that this Wang Shusen has something to do with Technician Wang or Wang Baocheng?" Team Cao patted his head and asked.

Huansheng nodded, "This is just my conjecture, and it hasn't been verified yet." ”

Team Cao quickly picked up the phone and called Deputy Director Luo and Xiaolei of the County Public Security Bureau respectively, asking them to investigate the situation of Wang Shusen.

Huansheng went on to tell us what he had found in this humble booklet.

The first half of the book focuses on the origins and changes of shamanism in Northeast China. Wang Shusen also traces shamanism back to the primitive religion of the ancient Buyeo Kingdom. At the end of the book, he introduces the eight secrets of shamanism that he has researched, which are passed down orally by shamans from generation to generation, and are secret spells of the town. Wang Shusen also pointed out that he believes that these eight tips are born from the previous Buyeo Four Techniques, and they are just adding some new content on the basis of the Buyeo Four Techniques.

The book states that the author's account was based on interviews with several shamanic shamans after liberation. Since there were different sects within shamanism later, the descriptions of the content of the eight recipes were also different. The descriptions of the ancient Buyeo secret technique of exorcism and communication are also varied. There are roughly a few theories, one is to exorcise ghosts, which looks similar to the mode of jumping a big rope to invite God, but it has to be operated in the air, and it does not happen at the scene. But Huansheng thinks that this statement is not credible, and it makes some sense to use ghosts instead of shadows, but if you interpret the transmission of messages in the four techniques as the upper body of ghosts and gods, not to mention how to achieve such a long distance, it should not be a concept in terms of transmission method and accuracy alone.

I nodded, Huansheng had the same idea as I did, and the idea of exorcism sounded like a self-transformation of the four techniques of Buyeo by later shamans.

Huansheng went on to tell me that there is also a theory of exorcism and dreaming, which is also a good explanation for the shaman's use of the method of dreaming to transmit information to the recipient. But obviously, this argument cannot be established, and if it is possible, then what is the radio communication technology of later generations? It must be very difficult to implement, and it is difficult to master that it cannot be used on a large scale, so that it has become the exclusive mastery of the great witches.

In addition, there is a very complicated saying, saying that the wizard who can drive away the shadow and transmit the message, not only has to go through a long period of acquired cultivation, but also has a necessary premise, that is, the great witch must be twins, and after the two people are cultivated at the same time, they can communicate in two places. This statement, in Huansheng's view, can be explained in a telepathic way, after all, the twins' telepathic ability is far beyond ordinary people, but the problem is that this is by no means an exorcism?

Liao Huansheng didn't know about the videotape we saw at the Public Security Bureau in the afternoon, and both Cao Team and Xiao Yang couldn't hold back their excitement at the moment, and turned their eyes to me, as if expecting me to make a final answer to the investigation of these two different directions, but in the end, they went to the same end. I nodded at the two of them and said casually: "Actually, it's not twins, to be precise, it should be a twin spirit person, the reason why this secret art is difficult to be passed on is because the double spirit person is too rare." ”

Liao Huansheng looked at me in confusion and muttered, "Lao Chang, what kind of twin spirit people?"

"Huansheng, don't interrupt you yet, after you finish speaking, I'll tell you what we found. I smiled and waved at Huansheng and asked him to continue.
