Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Witch Dance (Part 1)

The tea has been put into the pot, the water has been hot, a water like a silver line rushed into the pot, the faint fragrance of tea suddenly soared, as if how to resist the general drill into the nose, and then emanated from the pores, making people feel refreshed.

Good tea, it's definitely good tea!

It's already like this before you drink it, and you still have to drink it?

"Please tea."

Zhong Wenxin put the teacup the size of a finger in front of Luo Tian and Kong Ying, and patiently waited for the two of them to drink the tea before saying:

"Luo Tian, say it."

Gently putting the teacup back into the tea tray, Luo Tian thought for a while and said, "Witchcraft, I think you have heard of such a thing as witchcraft, even if you don't know much about it, you probably know what it's all about, right?" ”

Zhong Wenxin and Kong Ying nodded together, they really didn't know much about witchcraft, but they also knew that it was ancient and mysterious and strange, of course, in their impression, people who knew witchcraft were often evil.

Looking at Kong Ying and then at Zhong Wenxin, Luo Tian shook his head and said, "I know you don't have much of a good impression of witchcraft, forget it, let's not discuss this issue first, let's talk about the relationship between witchcraft and dance first." ”

"In fact, the dances we are familiar with today came with the advent of witchcraft, and in some of the frescoes found today, we can see that there were dances based on witchcraft as far back as the Paleolithic period, such dances are called witch dances, and the dancers wear the masks of wild beasts, sing and dance songs, and dance witch dances."

"So, why does the combination of dance and witchcraft work?"

Kong Ying was very curious, she was familiar with the dance, but she never thought it was related to witchcraft.

Zhong Wenxin didn't speak, but the expression on his face obviously wanted to know the answer.

"Praying for rain, sacrificing and so on, these are the original functions of the shaman, and in the process of praying for rain, the shaman often has to go through some rituals, and these rituals will slowly develop into dance."

Luo Tian is not vague, the relationship between witchcraft and dance is recorded in many classics, for example, in "Zhuangzi Thief" there is a record: "The world of Shennong...... The people know their mother, but they don't know their father. "At that time, the dance of witch blessings was popular when praying for rain. It is mentioned in the "Shennong Asking for Rain Book" in the fourth volume of "Interpretation History": "In spring and summer, when the rain is said to be not rainy, Jia is ordered to be a green dragon, and a fire dragon, and the Oriental child dances; Bingding does not rain, the life is the red dragon, and the strong man in the south dances...... Gengxin does not rain, his life is a white dragon, and a fire dragon, and the old man of the West dances it. It doesn't rain, and it is a black dragon, and the old man in the north dances it. So it doesn't rain, the diving place closes the south gate, puts the water outside, and opens the north gate to take the bones and bury them...... It was so rainless that the gods beat the drum and burned it. ”

Such a passage is the way for the wizard to ask for rain, for example, A is ordered to be the green dragon, which means that the eastern A and B wood, belong to the green dragon position, when asking for rain, the child should be allowed to dance in the eastern direction, as for the old man dance in the West, etc., it is also the meaning, and then mixed with the rituals of burying human bones, beating drums, burning fires, etc., these are witchcraft. Therefore, in the beginning, witchcraft was associated with such important events as praying for rain and so on.

"But, what does this have to do with Wen Xin's body?"

Kong Ying looked at Luo Tian incomprehensibly, even if what Luo Tian said was right, the dance was indeed related to witchcraft, so what did it have to do with Zhong Wenxin?

"yes, even if dance originated from witchcraft, what does it have to do with me?"

Zhong Wenxin looked at Luo Tian, dancing, fainting, witchcraft, what is the relationship between the three? She couldn't figure out what kind of logic was in this for a moment.

"Witchcraft can ask for rain, and it's not easy to make you faint."

Luo Tian's words made Zhong Wenxin's face suddenly look ugly, like a sky covered with clouds. She was a smart person, so she immediately understood what she meant. How hard is it to ask for rain? It is clearly to move the heavens and the earth, witchcraft can do this, so it is indeed a piece of cake to make yourself stunned, simply put, Zhang Qi used witchcraft to use the opportunity to choreograph for himself, which is the reason why he was stunned. She finally understood why there were so many prostrations and so many other movements in her dance, which meant to "give everything you had!"

"That'...... What is Zhang Qi's purpose in doing this? ”

"Steal your soul, or your spiritual power."

Originally, Luo Tian still didn't understand the purpose of these dances choreographed by Zhang Qi for Zhong Wenxin, but when he saw those people who were prostrate in front of the portrait of the Supreme Ancestor, he immediately understood: Zhang Qizheng was stealing or absorbing people's souls through various ways.

When Kong Ying heard this, she was immediately startled and said, "Huh? Absorbing the soul of man? ”

Zhong Wenxin nodded with a gloomy face and said, "Sister Kong Ying, I think there is a good chance that this is the case." ”

"Why do you say that?"

Kong Ying looked at Zhong Wenxin incomprehensibly.

"Every time I dance the dances choreographed by Zhang Qi, that is, the dances that make me faint, I find that my spirit is becoming more and more concentrated during the whole process, and then condenses into a ball, as for the moment before I faint, I feel that my spirit has sucked something away!"

Kong Ying opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but finally closed her mouth again, hearing Zhong Wenxin say this, her first reaction was that it was really ridiculous, but thinking about it carefully, this is a very reasonable thing:

Zhong Wenxin's spirit was damaged, but her body was not diseased, which is why she went to the hospital for an examination but couldn't find out what was going on.

After all, the spirit is an ethereal thing, how can it be checked?

"Luo Tian, what is Zhang Qi's purpose in absorbing the souls of me and even others?"

Zhong Wenxin's brows furrowed tightly, Zhang Qifei put so much effort into doing this, did not hesitate to use the way of choreographing for himself to slowly approach himself, and slowly "steal" his soul, his intentions must be quite sinister.

"Yes! Luo Tian, what is the purpose of Zhang Qi's bastard? ”

Kong Ying also became nervous.

Luo Tian shook his head and said, "I don't know much about the situation now, I can't judge it, and it's definitely not a good thing." ”

"Ahh

Kong Ying exclaimed in a low voice and said, "What should I do now?" ”

Zhong Wenxin's heart slowly sank, the most troublesome thing in the world is "ignorance" - Luo Tian doesn't know either, which means that the problem is big!

"What now?"

Zhong Wenxin asked a question exactly the same as Kong Ying, but it reflected the deep worry under her calm surface, this is a matter of fate!
