The origin of witchcraft has been spread, almost in the era of human barbarism, and for thousands of years, things that have been handed down may have changed, but the things handed down by the ancestors are often inadvertently flashed, and there will be an amazing effect of earth-shattering.

The origin of witchcraft is no longer known, after all, it is difficult to decide according to the limited historical data, and in the minds of the Miao people, witchcraft and Miao knife have always been the glory of the sacred ancestors, even if it is an old guy like Mo Tianxi, who is already a monster, he will hang the origin of witchcraft on his old ancestor and idol Chi You.

Witchcraft is one of the oldest beliefs, also known as quasi-religious phenomena, in which it is the illusion that supernatural forces impose control or influence on objects in order to achieve their own desires. The biggest difference between witchcraft and religion is that it does not involve gods and does not worship objects. In witchcraft, there is a kind of stand-in, similar to the idol of the god, but plausible, similar in appearance but different in quality.

In the Han Dynasty, there was a "witch prison". According to the Book of Han. Jiang Chong's biography recorded > that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was ill, and Jiang Chong thought it was caused by witchcraft. Jiang Chong had a grudge with the prince, framed the prince, and the prince killed Jiang Chong angrily, burned the witch, and committed suicide. Houtian Qianqiu sued the prince for injustice, only to get Zhaoxue, Emperor Wu Sui Jiang Chong's family in the "Han Book. The Legend of Southwest Yi also said that King Yelang "carved wood like a Han official and shot it on the side of the road." "These witchcraft uses puppets to symbolize each other, as witchcraft stand-ins, and mutilates them to achieve the purpose of cursing and killing each other. This belief was more popular in prehistory, and many talc dolls were unearthed at the Neolithic site of Houwa in Dandong, Liaoning, which were witchcraft stand-ins, as were the terracotta figurines of later tombs. It can be seen that witchcraft doubles have a long history and are very popular.

Liangshan Yi priest Bi Mo is good at witchcraft, the clan in the clan between the family and branch of the enemy, not only choose the military to stand, sharpen the knife and gun, and actively make military preparations, the priest also makes combat mobilization, the enemy to carry out witchcraft warfare, Bi Mo to pinch a clay figure or pierce a straw man, put the bones of dead animals, take it as the leader of the enemy, convene the clan branch meeting, curse the clay man, and cut or prick with a knife, and then secretly placed in the enemy village, thinking that so, the enemy will be leaderless in the war, and the army will not be formed.

The Yi nationality is popular with aunt and uncle's cousin, which cannot be violated. Once someone destroys it, the girl is allowed to another person, and the man asks Bi Mo to set up a branch, tie a sheep and a chicken, curse it, and then kill it, and at the same time pinch a clay figure or a straw figure to symbolize the other party, and use an ancient stone knife to dismember the clay figure and the straw man, saying: "Whoever destroys my uncle's cousin's marriage will end up like a clay man." "

When the Dai people encounter diseases, they always think that the plague ghosts are worshipped, and the plague ghosts have different grades, when the plague ghosts are sent to the village, the wizard will pinch people with mud, and also fabricate many chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, dogs, cows, horses, elephants, etc. 100 each, as well as clothes, decorations, rice, vegetables, wine, meat, firewood and grass, etc., these things are given to the plague ghosts, and then put the plague ghosts in a basket made of banana leaves, throw them at the intersection outside the village, or on the garbage heap, and read: "Plague ghosts, you go quickly, now you have everything ready, don't stay in the village." "To drive out the plague ghost on a person's body, the sorcerer makes a clay puppet, puts it in a banana box, closes the lid, and the clay puppet symbolizes the ghost that harms people, and then buries it outside the village, or throws it outside the village like garbage. In order to recover the patient, the anti-patient carried the patient to the cemetery, burned the clay puppet or the straw man, and killed a sheep at the same time, symbolizing that the sheep died for the person, so that the grass man could take away the sheep's soul, so as to bring back the patient's lost soul

In ancient times, the Han people had a kind of "reincarnation" witchcraft, that is, putting wax people in water in order to have children. In modern times, there are more stand-ins for children, such as the mud son in the south, the doll in the north, and the boy snatching in Sichuan, all of which are witchcraft for children. The dolls are made of clay and pottery. The first is to use a thread to tie the doll to symbolize that the son will not be lost, and the second is to practice contact witchcraft, and the woman who seeks to raise the doll eats the doll's genitals or other parts in order to conceive a child.

When the Yi people ask for a child, they are presided over by Bi Mo, killing a sheep, a pig, a chicken, a duck, and two goose eggs, and using the thatch on the nine mountains to tie a pair of straw figures, or using the soil of the nine mountains to pinch two clay figures, and put on colorful clothes, symbolizing a pair of men and women. At night, Bi Mo let the young people sing and worship their ancestors outside the master's house, and the master, the husband and wife, hugged the straw man or the clay figure to sleep face to face, and two young people fought ghosts outdoors to protect the master, and finally entered the house, tied the straw man or clay man, let the breeder carry it, put it down at the crossroads outside the village, kill the pig and worship the ancestors, and pour the pig's blood on the grass man or clay man, the blood symbolizes life and looks forward to childbirth.

When the Pumi sorcerer heals the mother, he will cut the wooden man instead, the wooden man has a big belly, and if the menstrual irregularity is cured, the female pubic area of the wooden woman will be painted with blood and buried in the ground. After chanting mantras and searching for ghosts, the puppet was finally dug up and thrown outside the village, and it was thought that the wooden man had taken away the illness of the pregnant woman.

Similar to all kinds of witchcraft that is beyond science, it has become a skill to worship the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods from Mo Tianxie's mouth, and his expression has become solemn and awe-inspiring, as if he is just talking, and must be treated religiously.

"What kind of sorcery is Jiyin going to learn from you?" Yang Ming asked.

"Westerners see it as a form of black magic in the dark arts, that is, summoning ...... I'll teach this witchcraft to this female doll, and with her by your side, I guess you won't have any unbreakable abilities. Mo Tianxie said with a faint smile, and then asked about some things about Yang Ming's body, and in the end, he himself sighed and said, "Although I am familiar with yin and yang gossip and witchcraft, but for you after the drug transformation, it is really a little difficult to understand, the human body always comes from flesh and blood, and our witchcraft and yin and yang miscellaneous theories must be built on a basis that although it is mysterious, it is actually based on the power of heaven and earth...... But your body's super-powerful ability to recover and unexpectedly powerful is more in line with the genetic modification of modern humans, as if your healing abilities may be taken from a plant or animal, but they should not belong to humans, and your powers may be more complex...... This is a bit similar to the ancient legend of the ropeway to cultivate immortals, but those who practice alchemy and cultivate immortals have never really cultivated, and I have read those Taoist classics, which are all just some philosophical doctrines of Mu Lingke, and there is no real method for transforming the function of the body......"

Yang Ming also sighed helplessly: "It's very strange, until now, I can feel that my body is getting stronger and stronger, but when I think of the tragic situation when Sha Ying died, I can't help but often worry about whether one day I will face such a situation myself, and suddenly explode and die...... And wolf fangs, I still don't know his life and death! ”

"Alas! I have some medicine here, it is the effect of calming the mind and concentrating the mind, there is no other strange effect, just to calm people in the case of restlessness of qi and blood, I usually use it to practice meditation and enter meditation, and when you go down the mountain, take some down the mountain, if you have an abnormal situation one day, and I am still alive, then you will come to me, but if I die, if you come here, you can only sleep in this waterhole to try...... I don't know if your physique is good, it's very likely that you will die with your extreme yang physique, but it may also be yin and yang, and now I'm not sure, so don't try, I'll help you guard your waterhole for the time being, if I die, someone will send a letter to you, if this waterhole should be guarded, it's up to you to decide......"

"Hehe, I won't say anything about Xie, anyway, my life was saved by you, this old guy. If I hadn't escaped to the Taishan Mountains to meet you that time, I guess I would never have been qualified to become a super soldier of the Seven Divisions, let alone survive after that test. I can't do anything for you, so this can only be regarded as your contribution to the world, and I will help you make more money outside, and use it to help others when the time comes......"

Mo Tianxie suddenly shook his head and sighed: "Money is something outside the body. If you don't take it out, it is because you are cultivating your own good heart and accumulating virtue, and in my opinion, Tianxingjian is a gentleman who strives for self-improvement...... Anyone who has self-esteem will live with their own hands, not waiting for your relief or other relief! But the Heavenly Dao cycle, who is sure? Some natural and man-made disasters cannot be predicted and avoided, from the saying that evil turns into good fortune, you should indeed extend your hand to some people to help them, but for example, at the moment this Miao village and the mountains here, I don't want you to donate money or change this place...... This is also heaven and earth, and it is also the world, there are joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and this place itself is complete, there is death and rebirth...... So it's good here, you just do what you want to do, and you don't have to repay me for anything like a bad old man, my one qiē, my own fixed number, come and go is the same, empty as empty as empty ......"

"Okay, I can't reach your realm for the time being, I not only love money, but also love women, so although I like the paradise-like environment here, if I practice here, I'm afraid I can't bear the loneliness in my heart, so my practice ground should be in the city, because I have unforgettable women!" Yang Ming smiled calmly.

"There are three thousand ways of red dust, and the Tao is a mystery, and when you see through the red dust, it is the day of the vicissitudes of your face! Okay, that girl doll is almost there, I brought her in, you can live at the foot of the mountain for the next few days, and I will let Ayido take you down the mountain, you will come up at noon every day to see, and the rest of the time you will go around the village, maybe it will help you understand! Mo Tianxie said.

"Is Ayido male or female?" Yang Ming suddenly asked curiously.

Mo Tianxie's face suddenly showed a playful look and smiled: "Ayiduo is a flower in this village...... It's famous far and wide, but you can be careful, she has been following me for a long time, and the witchcraft is hard to prevent, if you fall for her love Gu, I won't help you unravel it......"
