Chapter 2: The Wizard's Tomb
Zou Kun didn't refute: "You say come and listen." ()”
Jia Qing cleared his throat "In 1484, Pope Innazon VIII issued an edict: "[Witches] must not be forgiven, they are heinous and shameless. He then mobilized all the clergy to participate in the suppression of witches. Two years later, the notorious friars Heinrich Cramer and Jecob Spranger published The Witch's Hammer, which further complemented the edict of Innazon VIII. For the first time, the book summarized the knowledge of the devil and witchcraft that was popular in the 15th century, and even provided detailed methods such as how to identify witches and how to report them, and became a "bible" for witch hunting, and the myths about witches recorded in the book were taken as fact by blind people - which meant that thousands of women were innocently burned at the stake.
In fact, the sorcerers in the West predate the origin of Christianity, in fact, the religion that the ancient Romans believed in at the beginning was polytheistic. The religious beliefs of the Indo-European peoples who entered the Italian peninsula around the 20th century BC merged with the local pre-inhabitants. Nature worship is mixed with ancestor worship and there are no temples and priests. The images of gods and myths are not yet anthropomorphic. Because the Romans were mainly agricultural, the gods were mostly related to crops[1]?. For example, Chupitt was originally the spirit of grapes, Mars was originally the spirit of grains (later became the god of war), Diana was originally the spirit of trees, etc. In the 8th century BC, the tribal group dissolved and the Etruscan dynasty arose. Emphasis is placed on worship etiquette, forming a complete set of complicated etiquette and rules and regulations. The funeral ceremony is solemn, and the house-style tomb is built, and the color map is painted, and the image of evil ghosts and other images is often in the picture. He has a rich imagination of the other world, and often offers flowers, milk, and firstfruits to please the gods. He is keen on divination, and often predicts good luck and evil by observing the liver of a sacrificial animal or the wood and stone that has been struck by lightning.
In fact, during this time, Christians have been suffering from persecution, and this persecution has lasted for two hundred years, and during these two hundred years, Xiwu has developed very freely. They had little religious affiliation, and the brains of the ancient Greeks left them behind, so they learned a lot from the natural world.
So, it is normal for shamans to come to China with the army, and they should start studying the witchcraft of Western witchcraft in China until now.
If we find the original owner of this book, we should be able to find a deeper relationship between them. ”
At this point, the witch was no longer objecting: "Well, even if you say that there is no problem, but what about we go and find the descendants of these people?"
"Then ask the guy who sold you this thing and see how he got his hands on the book. ”
In the early hours of the morning, before the sun had risen, some people appeared on the first street of the city and began to set up stalls on the ground, and there were many strange things on the stalls.
This is the ghost market, and everything sold here can be said to be shady, full of fakes, local goods and even evil things.
But it's also a very popular place for some people, because there's always something unexpected here.
The witch took the two of them to step into the ghost market for the first time, and when they entered the first floor, Jia Qing looked a little lost, and Zou Kun asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, what kind of good place should I be, it's all a bunch of fakes, no different from Pan Jiayuan, I guess it's used to deceive novices, I don't know what we're doing here." ”
"You don't need me to remind you, but you asked for this place?"
Jia Qing looked at Zou Kun with disgust: "I know, if I knew that it would be like this, I wouldn't come." ”
The witch sneered and shook her head: "Where is this? ”
After walking for a long time, they came to a large gate, and at the door stood two bodyguard-like people, and the witch handed over a business card, and after the two looked at it carefully, they let the two in.
When they entered the courtyard, the two were really stunned, there were many stalls in the courtyard, but these stalls were like another world, and in the first booth stood a beautiful and enchanting woman, wearing only a Kezi, with an excellent figure.
Zou Kun's eyes widened: "What's the matter, there is still human trafficking here?"
The witch smiled: "That's not a human, it's a banshee, it should be sold voluntarily, and the banshee can sell her body, abilities, etc." ”
Zou Kun breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to walk inside with the witch, Jia Qing's eyes widened when he fell, and he was a little overwhelmed by these dazzling things that he had never seen before.
The three of them walked to a corner, and saw a man nestled in a corner, looking very decadent, holding an empty wine jug in his hand and trying to pour a drop of wine from it, but still failed, seeing his appearance, it was really no different from the homeless man on the side of the road.
The witch took out a small jar of wine from her bag and threw it at him, and the man immediately opened the cork and drank it very eagerly, and after drinking half a pot in one gulp, he stopped, and looked at the witch: "I have nothing to sell to you, and I don't want to be a mercenary." ”
The witch threw him another money bag: "Tell me where you got that book, these have redeemed you." ”
The man looked at the witch with a look of intoxication: "You know, the rule here is that you don't ask where the goods come from. ”
"Of course I know, so I don't ask, I buy, there is a rule here that you can sell anything, including life and secrets. If that's not enough, I've got it here. ”
Saying that, the witch threw over another money bag, and the man looked at the money bag, with a very painful expression on his face, as if he was struggling, his brows were tight, and Jia Qing Nannan said, "You were removed from your legion?"
After hearing this, the man was slightly stunned: "How do you know?"
Jia Qing pointed to his arm: "The brand on your arm should be used to eliminate the tattoo, and your tattoo should be the symbol of the legion." You're also a descendant of that First Legion?"
He laughed a little maniacally: "Not anymore, this book is the book of the descendants of the doctors in our legion, but she is dead, dead for many years, and I dug up his grave and stole the real book, and sold it." ”
Zou Kun heard this: "Where is that tomb?"
When the three of them stood at the gate of Zou Kun's school, Zou Kun was very embarrassed: "He can't lie, right?"
The witch and Zou Kun shook their heads: "Probably not, although it is said that he dug the grave of his comrade-in-arms, but why is this tomb here?"
Without much thought, the three of them walked into the campus, and at the end of the campus there was a small forest, although this was a holy place for trysts, but no student dared to come here at night.
As soon as he entered the woods, there was a cry of owls, and Zou Kunda frowned slightly: "Owls, how can there be owls in our school?"
The three of them didn't think much about it, and continued to walk towards the depths of the woods, and after walking for a while, they saw a firefly flying, and the witch immediately did it, and began to light a candle, and then began to chant words, and then took out a packet of powder from the pouch and threw it on top of the candle, and the candle soon burst out with a large string of flames.
The witch began to chant the incantation, and soon heard a slight vibration on the ground, and when she looked closely, a stone tablet came out of the ground.
Zou Kun looked at each other for a while, and began to dig next to the tombstone, and soon dug out a coffin, after opening the coffin, there was a dry bone in the coffin, and there was a diary-like thing, Jia Qing took out the notebook like a treasure: "It's a good thing, I like it, you say, is she a descendant of the Roman legion or herself?"
Zou Kun's face was fixed: "Of course it is a descendant, there are very few Western witches who have a long lifespan, and the Western Han Dynasty has been thousands of years now, right?"
"But didn't the Eastside Witch live for long?"
"The East End Witch has a backstage. Just look at that diary. ”
The two stopped arguing, but after filling in the bones from the new, they left the school, Jia Qing opened the notebook and looked at it carefully, the text on it was incomprehensible to herself, and she handed it to the witch embarrassedly, and the witch looked at it carefully: "The location of an ancient city recorded here should be in the area of Ningxia, Gansu." It looks like we need to go to Gansu for a walk. ”
After the three of them arrived in Lanzhou, they began to discuss the next plan, and the witch began to say after studying the notebook for a long time: "It seems that the big record in the notebook shows that they should settle in the area of Jiayuguan, and we can go around Jiayuguan to see the specific situation." ”
After arriving at Jiayuguan, the majestic city wall made everyone very emotional, and when the night came. The bright starlight in the sky shone on the desert, and the bright moonlight exuded a quiet light on the city wall, which made people can't help but start to think about it.
When the witch saw this, she was a little touched, as if she remembered something, she took out the parchment, and turned to the night, and the page was painted with a starry sky and constellations, and a village on the earth under the constellations, and the witch, after carefully looking at everything in front of her, began to say: "Those Romans must live in that place." ”
The two of them began to look towards the place she pointed at as she said this, and the witch pointed to the underside of the tail of a constellation: "We have been following this direction, and we will definitely find something." ”
Zou Kun looked at the place she was pointing at: "Keep walking, how long will it take?"
Jia Qing stood up: "What are you afraid of? Go buy a few horses, at most you will go to Xinjiang, or Qinghai." ”
After buying the horses, the three of them rode their horses and kept thinking about riding their horses away in the desert, and after running for more than an hour, the witch stopped: "You wait. ”
The witch looked at the picture on the parchment, and began to mumbled some words in her mouth, as if she had recognized them earlier.
When they had finished reading, there was a sudden whirlwind from the ground, and the three horses turned their heads and tried to flee as if they were frightened, but the huge suction force still swept everyone in......
