[I'm sorry, I wrote it, I changed it, and I tossed it to the present. Oh, tomorrow's chapter will be later]

"Immortal law" and "witchcraft", in the eyes of the original Xiahoudun, are all absurd and ridiculous.

Prior to this, although he was not as dedicated to "looking for witches and asking immortals" as Wu Luo, he had also had a lot of contact with the so-called "immortals, witches, and alchemists" because of his childhood experience.

He died at the age of six.

At that time, Ah Mu was seriously ill and bedridden, and Ah Weng saw that the medicine stone was ineffective, so he invited the famous Wu Zhu of Peiguo.

The witch wished, set up an altar, prayed to ward off evil spirits, and did a whole three days of rituals. And until the expiration of the third day, it did not change the awakening of the mother.

Since then, Xiahoudun has a hypothesis in his heart - if there is really magic in the world, what will happen to his mother? What will happen to me?

As a result, he became interested in witchcraft, spells, and the immortal magic that had been circulating for a while.

and as an older man, when he traveled all over the world, he studied in Xiangkai, Plains.

This Xiangkai Xiang Gong Ju is a famous scholar in the world, known as "looking up at astronomy and looking down on personnel".

Xiahoudun followed him to learn the art of astronomical yin and yang for half a year.

Xiang Gongju is an upright person, eager to learn and erudite, and is indeed a rare teacher. And Xia Houdun also benefited a lot during this period of study.

However, this is not in line with his imagination of the Fang Shi who "knows yin and yang, and makes wind and rain".

Half a year later, he left the plains and turned south to the land of Wuyue.

The reason why I went to Wuyue Jiangnan was because of "Mrs. Ding".

Mrs. Ding, surnamed Ding, is named Mrs. Ding. It is a famous witch family in the former Han Dynasty.

Bangu Ban Meng Jian once mentioned this person in his "Hanshu Suburban Ritual Chronicles".

"It's a year old, the Western Expedition to Dawan, and the locusts are rising. Mrs. Ding, Yuyang Yu and others cursed the Xiongnu and Dawanyan with the Fang Ancestral Hall. ”

This Mrs. Ding and Yu Chu built the temple of Fangshi, cursed the army of the Xiongnu and Dawan, and thus left a name in history.

This is a passage found by Xiahoudun, one of the few that records the deeds of "Wu Zhu" in the official history.

Yu Chu, although he was known as the "originator of novelists" in later generations, has always been not highly evaluated in the official history.

This was especially true at the end of the Han Dynasty in 183.

More than ten years later, Yu Chu's "Zhou Shuo" was burned clean by those orthodox literati under Zhong Changtong's proposition of "Hundred Schools" miscellaneous sayings, please use fire.

And the "Yellow Car Yu Family" is also "the beginning of success, and the beginning of failure", gradually declining, not visible in the world, and there is no way to find it.

On the contrary, Mrs. Ding, who was originally a little less reputable, left the "cursed army Ding" vein and has been living in Yuedi. And it is still a "Wuzhu heirloom", which is quite famous in the land of Wuyue.

Xiahoudun stayed in the "Cursed Army Ding Family" for nearly a year, and although he didn't learn it, he had a general understanding of the so-called "witch".

The functions of the "cursed soldiers" can be divided into five types: traffic gods and ghosts, divination and auspiciousness, warding off evil spirits and disasters, sacrificing and funeral, and curing diseases and saving people.

The so-called "traffic gods and ghosts" are a joke in Xiahoudun's opinion, because he saw a "god of welcoming the river" Ding Wuzhu who fell into the water and died.

As for warding off evil spirits and disasters, curing diseases and saving people, he experienced it when he was a child, and he did not believe it.

The sacrificial funeral is only a ceremonial host, and there is no miracle at all.

Only the "Divination Question" remains. After experiencing countless times, Xiahoudun lost interest.

The most commonly used divination method in Yue Di is "chicken bone divination". "Curse the army Ding family" is still good at this method.

The specific process is that the diviner slaughters the chicken and cooks it, and takes the two eye bones of the chicken, which have holes and cracks.

The Yue people who came to divination believed it without doubt. And Xiahoudun traced and compared many times, repeatedly investigated and studied, and finally came to a conclusion - "divination is a kind of speech".

The disappointed Xiahoudun returned to his hometown, and in the following years, he devoted himself to martial arts.

Later, when the cultivation method of "autopsy immortal" spread in the land of the thirteen states of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he shifted his attention slightly.

But he still found nothing.

It wasn't until the news of "King Yan distributing immortal treasures" came, until he rushed to Baihu Mountain, until he was frozen in ice, that he finally had a turnaround.

The Immortal Law, the real Immortal Law, appeared.

Before coming, a friend had denounced King Yan's immortal method as "tricky acrobatics".

What is Juggling Acrobatics?

In the downtown area of the county, on the court platform of the wealthy and wealthy families, the unbelievable actions made by those advocates - Himaru jumped the sword and took the sword on his chest.

Of course, there is also the "spit fire in the mouth, self-restraint and self-liberation" from the Great Qin State in the far west; Or the "phantom people" of the Shan Kingdom in the southwest, who possess the illusion of spitting fire, self-supporting, and changing the head of a cow and a horse.

However, the "Frost Immortal Method" that Xiahoudun personally felt was not an astronomical yin and yang technique that was entangled with political affairs, nor a farcical drama between the villagers, nor was it these blinding juggling.

That is the real immortal method, the "real magic" that Xiahoudun has been pursuing for many years.

For it, Xiahou is willing to give everything he has - wealth, martial arts, fame, all qiē.

With such a mentality, Xiahoudun came to Yan Xiaoyi's stage.

The first thing he saw was Pan Feng, a Pan Feng who was in good spirits and couldn't see the slightest injury.

Xiahou was stunned for a moment, and then he figured it out. This should be the credit of the rumored "one-finger healing" immortal method of King Yan!

His heart was even more fiery because of this.

Immortal law!

Next, no matter what expressions Pan Feng and Wu Luo made, Xiahoudun respectfully bowed to Yan Xiaoyi on the Taishi's chair, and then said, "King, Xiahoudun asks the king to give him another chance in the preliminary round?" ”

If you can get into the ring again, you will definitely have a place in the finals! There must be one of the nine places to get the fairy treasure!

However, Xiahoudun did not wait for a yes or no answer. He was waiting for three questions.

"If you get the fairy treasure, you will have to wait for a year and a half, can you wait?"

"Yes!"

Xiahoudun replied without hesitation.

"If you get the fairy treasure, you must be by my side. A few years or decades, can you do it? ”

"Yes! If I pass the finals, I will serve the king for the rest of my life! ”

Xiahoudun still replied without hesitation.

"If one day, I have a grudge or enmity with your good friends, relatives and friends, what should you do?"

After asking this sentence, not to mention Xiahoudun, even Wu Luo, Pan Feng, and even Li Jin, Ren Xiu'er, as well as Nachen County Order, Zhao County Lieutenant, and hundreds of thousands of people in the audience were stunned on the spot.

Loyalty and righteousness cannot be both!

This is a difficult question to answer since ancient times! How many sages and heroes have been restrained and helpless in the face of this problem. Not to mention these ordinary mundane characters.

"Send my good friends and relatives back to their homeland, and then go back to the mountains to apologize to the king."

After a long time, Xiahoudun replied.

After Yan Xiaoyi heard this, he did not make an evaluation, but allowed him and other defeated people the opportunity to "take the stage again".

After Xiahoudun knelt down and thanked him, he went thoughtfully, while the people around him fell into deep thought.

Pan Feng didn't think about it so much, he just kept fiddling with the balance of "Ah Weng and the King" in his heart. Wu Luo, on the other hand, thought of more and farther.

For example, what is the purpose of the king's question today? What was the king's purpose in attracting believers? What will the king do in the future? What should I do in the future?

Until sunset and the end of the "preliminary competition", they did not come up with the most suitable method in their hearts that could perfectly solve the problem of "the king and his relatives and friends".

And the fifty-three people who passed the "preliminary competition", except for Xiahoudun, who had expressed his position before, after coming to Yan Xiaoyi's front salute, they all said, "If the king takes a fancy to him, he will live with this body, and he will work for dogs and horses!" ”

And Yan Xiaoyi still hasn't made an evaluation, he and Ren Xiu'er are carrying the Taishi chair alone, and they are about to go up the mountain to the house.

There was a plop, and someone next to him knelt down.
