Chapter Twenty-Six: Monsters
Shamans?
Ye Nuan heard someone mention this word, and subconsciously his eyes narrowed slightly, with a look of interest. She didn't expect that more than a thousand years later, Rao would be a future world full of high-tech, and there would still be primitive religions with strong subjective colors. It also involves the high-ranking and powerful identity of the national teacher, and the matter is not simple.
Shamanism is a primitive religion, and according to historical records, the matriarchal society has developed and matured. They believe in animism, almost all of which are polytheistic worship, especially the combination of ancestor worship and nature worship. Shamans are known as intermediaries between gods and humans, and they use their personal bodies as a medium for information communication between humans and ghosts and gods, performing exorcisms, divination, begging for blessings, and presiding over red and white ceremonies, etc., mastering the secrets and abilities of super life forms in various spiritual ways, and obtaining these secrets and divine powers. It is very similar to Ye Nuan's witch, but Ye Nuan inherits the ability of the female clan of the Honghuang Continent, which is different from the witchcraft handed down by humans.
The Flood Desolate Continent where the snake lady once lived was actually not the spatial plane where Ye Nuan was located, but an independent continent infested with demons, superimposed on the earth plane, similar to parallel space, and could travel between the two realms through some kind of hub, but the chance was quite slim. There was once a powerful person from the Flood Desolate Continent who came to the Earth plane by chance, and then he couldn't return to his hometown by all means, so he had to stay in that plane and wander around. This group of people has a long lifespan, both good and evil, and has provided help to the primitive and backward aboriginal humans on the earth, and some people have done evil and caused disasters, which is why there are those bizarre and strange ancient legends in the earth civilization.
And the ancestor of the snake lady, the female lineage, is the most capable person among this group of people who accidentally came to the earth plane, and she is also the one who has helped the human race the most, saving the human race from fire and water, and is praised and remembered by human beings. In the end, she had the opportunity to return to the Flood Desolate Continent, but before leaving, she learned that the Earth Plane was not stable, and it was very likely that the plane would collapse, and the Flood Desolate Continent and the Earth Plane were connected, and if one side collapsed, the other side could not be alone. At that time, not only will human beings have no way to live, but even the desolate continent will be destroyed, and they can't bear the misery of the earth.
Her deeds were later spread by the demons who returned to the Flood Continent, making the female clan revered. It's just that the hub connecting the two realms has been completely blocked, and the Flood Desolate Continent and the Earth Plane are completely separated. The snake lady was assassinated and died, probably because she should not have died, her soul crossed the barrier to the earth plane, and finally locked the soul into the human reincarnation. When she met Ye Nuan, she had already experienced countless reincarnations and was about to be reincarnated, but she didn't expect to see that the earth actually had a soul container physique, just like a goblin coveted Tang monk's meat.
What is a Soul Vessel? It is a body that allows a soul to be reborn without being damaged, no matter how powerful it is. Don't look at it and don't sound very powerful, you know, the human body is extremely fragile, and foreign souls live in it, and it won't take long for them to be infected by yin qi and quickly age and die, so after the snake lady comes to the earth, she can only choose to keep reincarnating, rather than taking away and being reborn. But it just so happened that Ye Nuan's body made up for the lack in this regard, not only would it not be damaged, but it could also absorb the soul floating in the human world to enhance its strength. It's just that the snake lady didn't expect that Ye Nuan's body's autonomous defense ability was too strong, and even an otherworldly spirit like her would be trapped in it. At that time, Ye Nuan was still just an embryo in the mother's body, and the snake lady could not get out of her body, so she had to grow up with Ye Nuan day by day. And the long-term relationship made the snake lady love Ye Nuan, and began to teach Xiao Ye Nuan's female clan witchcraft, and Ye Nuan has been talented since he was a child, and he is really decent when he learns witchcraft, even if he is only in his twenties, he is completely comparable to those demons who have been cultivating in the Flood Continent for hundreds of years. In the end, when the three ghosts were scattered, they left all their memories to Ye Nuan, resulting in the fact that although Ye Nuan has not reached the level of the three ghosts now, many things are engraved in the sea of knowledge, just waiting for enlightenment.
Having said that, after being reborn, Ye Nuan inherited the memory of the original owner, and did not find that there were still shamans and wizards in this world, and thought that the future world after more than a thousand years would have no such things at all, but she didn't expect to hear someone mention shamans just now, which made her really surprised. It turns out that it is not that there is no witchcraft here, but that it is too mysterious and hidden from the eyes of the general public.
Listening to the conversation of the group of people under the tree, Ye Nuan probably knew that they were soldiers, and they entered the Southern Prison to investigate something. However, the only thing that made her curious was that someone in Area C disappeared for no reason every month and a half, and it was also involved in the murder of her temporary pet back then. Originally, it was not terrible to die in a sin city like Southern Prison, but the death was so regular that people couldn't catch the handle, so they had to make people want to find out. This kind of thing, if it's not man-made, it's a monster's work, but here is obviously a treasure of heaven and earth, which means that the aura is abundant, and it is not suitable for the growth of monsters. The coexistence of the two extremes of spiritual objects and monsters is too unreasonable.
Before the group of people left, Ye Nuan took a soul mark on them, ready to monitor it, but he didn't expect that the energy fluctuations attached to that group of people attracted the attention of something hidden in the shadows. Before the group could get out of the woods, inexplicably, the scene began to change, and a mysterious force in the dark pulled them back to the original ginkgo tree. Looking at the people under the tree who were being controlled, their faces were full of horror but they couldn't resist, Ye Nuan's eyes flashed, but he didn't move, watching from the wall.
I saw a few thorns suddenly appear on the originally flat ground, and with a 'boom', all the people were rolled up, and the thin and sharp thorns pierced into their bodies and swam in all directions. The faces of the group of people were pale, obviously frightened and frightened, painful and bitter, but they couldn't make any sound, they couldn't even make subtle movements, they could only let the cold sweat get drenched.
On closer inspection, the thorns turned out to be the roots of a moving plant. If Ye Nuan is not mistaken, the root of the tree belongs to the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree in the center of the forest. At this moment, it was like a demon that had cultivated into a spirit, waving its roots and torturing the group of people who entered its territory. The flexible and powerful roots and shoots burrowed into the bodies of the group of people, as if they were looking for something, making the group of people embarrassed and miserable, and the cold sweat kept flowing as if they didn't want money.
After tossing for a long time without finding anything, the ginkgo tree angrily shook the extra roots and whipped them hard at the group. The smell of blood was so thick that it filled the air, and it looked especially strange in the night.
Ye Nuan was suddenly stunned in her heart, she found that things were not as simple as she thought.
(I have a cold, and I just returned from home, and the update is a little late, please forgive me!) )
