"You're still smart, brother! The man who made the iron box was too cunning. Oh no, it shouldn't be said that it is an iron box, it should be said that it is a drawer, and it actually makes us all mistake that it is a box and is actually a drawer. Hey? Why is there nothing in this and just a book? Chapter 73: The Witch ......"

Abu, they struggled to find nothing in the huge iron drawer, and in the end they found only a witch book with seventy-three chapters of witches written on it. Abu carefully opened the witch book, which was full of some incomprehensible symbols, plus some annotations mixed with Khitan and original characters, it could be seen that this was just an ordinary witch book.

"I think I've seen it there!" Yelu Chu suddenly shouted.

"Big brother, have you seen this witch book? Is there anything special about this witch book? Bao Qianli actually hid it here in such a grand way, and there was nothing else in it. Abu asked, puzzled.

"This ...... By the way, I also found this witch book when I searched another adult's house before, but this one is blue, and his one is red. Yelu Chu thought for a while, and finally remembered where he had seen this witch book.

"Could it be that the family you copied was also given a three-star unicorn gold medal by the emperor?"

"Huh? Brother Xian, I thought of it when you reminded me like this, and that's really the case. Speaking of which, this Bao Qianli has been the third household whose ancestors have a three-star unicorn gold medal and were raided, the previous two households are Yelu Sun, the descendant of General Pingxi, and Ye Lu Nan, the descendant of Long Shen, these two people's behavior is similar to Yelu Bao Qianli, they are all relying on their ancestors to have that meritorious service, so they began to do whatever they wanted. The two of them didn't know how thick they offended people who shouldn't be offended, one was raided when the emperor was in power, at that time the eldest brother I had not yet become the governor of the palace, so I was not responsible for the raid of the house, and the later Yelu Nan's house was copied by me, when I was busy moving his things in the officials, I first came to look through the books on the bookshelf without incident, and saw this exactly the same witch book. ”

"Big brother, surely this is the witch book you saw?"

"I'm not sure that the book is still in my house! Except for the different colors, the names on the outside are exactly the same as those in the book. Brother Xian, don't laugh at the eldest brother, to be honest with you, I wouldn't have cared about this witch book originally, after all, you know, the eldest brother actually doesn't believe much in this cow, ghost, snake and god thing. ”

"It's strange, since the eldest brother doesn't believe in these things, why does he pay special attention to this witch book?"

Yelu Chucai smiled awkwardly, "Speaking of which, it's not because during that time, the eldest brother was addicted to gambling and couldn't extricate himself and lost a lot of money, and he was looking for something to get rid of bad luck." That's when I happened to see the witch book. I thought that the witch book that passed through the Western Regions has always been quite mysterious, and I don't know if I can make my luck better and win back all the money I lost before, so I secretly took the witch book back to study, but after studying it for a long time, I didn't even know what it meant, so I kept throwing it aside and didn't care about it, and then I quit gambling inexplicably, and I forgot about this witch book, and I kept it at my bedside, which was regarded as a town house. ”

"I didn't expect this witch book to be so useful." Abu opened the seventy-three chapters again and looked through them carefully. Through the above annotations, I learned that this seventy-three chapters of witchcraft were transmitted to the Khitan from the Western Regions, that is, shamanic witch texts. Judging from the contents, it is only some ordinary teachings about keeping the vows, teaching people to be positive and good, and to quit the bad habits of eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling.

From its own point of view, there seems to be nothing special, but for the Khitan, at this time, most of the Khitan people believed in witches, people believe that the religion of witchcraft is the communicator between the gods and the world, and also the communicator between the ancestors and the world, so the priest is the organizer and worshipper of the gods.

When the Khitan people established their own regime, these primitive witchcraft, which were closely related to the previous life of the Khitan people, were transformed into rituals or some kind of rituals of the Khitan people. These rituals still occupy an important place in the life of the Khitan people. In earlier times, the weight of these primitive witchcraft in the hearts of the Khitan people was very large. In the time of the Khitan emperors, the witches who controlled the sacrificial rituals and determined the mood of the gods and goddesses had extremely high power and social status among the Khitans. It's just that the current Yelu Hongye wants to live forever, but no wizard can fulfill his wishes, so he gradually became cold and turned to Taoism, and Wuwei Daoist was respected because of this.

Although Wu does not hold any social position, he has a strong influence on the election of secular rulers. The great wizard Shen Sugu before the founding of the Khitan state. Although the historical books are vague about Shensugu's account, she is a figure who has influenced the history of the Khitan nation. According to historical records, he was able to understand snake language. "Shen Su Gu, the name of the clan, can know snake language."

If Abaoji wants to "turn his family into a country" and establish a hereditary monarchy system, the first thing to solve is the "three-year generation" hereditary election system that has long been established in the tribe. In order to break the tradition, Abaoji had to reach a tacit understanding with the great wizard Shen Sugu, who had a certain prestige in the tribe. And Shen Sugu also needs to use this to increase her influence in the witch class. Everything is presented to the world according to this intention. Shen Sugu instructed Abaoji to be the true son of heaven, which was given by God and arranged by the gods. People who can be favored by the gods are naturally sacred, so Abaoji can continue to be his tribal leader as a whole.

At the same time, everything he did was also arranged by God, so Abaoji turned his family into a country, completely overthrew the "three-year generation" world election system, and established an unquestionable reason for the establishment of the feudal monarchy. As the conveyor of the providence of heaven, Shensugu's influence in the tribe has also expanded rapidly, and she has a very high appeal, and is known as the "snake whisperer".

Yelu Chu took Abra aside and whispered to him, "Speaking of which, this witch was still very influential in the Khitan before, if it weren't for the arrival of the Wuwei Taoist, I'm afraid the emperor wouldn't have forgotten what the witch sect had brought to the Khitan so quickly." When I was a child, I heard that the great wizard Shen Su Gu around the former emperor was very powerful, and I heard that this witch was still very ambiguous with the former emperor, but then I don't know what happened, and the two of them broke up unhappily, and Shen Su Gu disappeared because of this, and the witch cult gradually declined. There are rumors among the people that the emperor pursued Shen Su Gu and buried his body in the wasteland on the outskirts of the southern part of the city, but it has not been found so far. I'm only going to tell you what you shouldn't be talking about, so don't tell anyone else. If this word gets out, it will kill the head. ”
