14. The Magic of Witchcraft and the Power of the Beastmaster

The three of them returned to the ice cellar again.

The so-called ice bed was placed in the middle of the ice cellar, and the first time he came in, Han Dang took the two of them straight to the corpses of Yuwenlei and the others, and there were rows of freezers with corpses in the way, so he didn't see them.

It is said to be a cold ice bed, but in fact, it is a huge ice cube in the shape of a huge grinding plate, the surface is pitted, not smooth, look at the texture, like ice and jade, sitting on it is extremely cold, as if the cold air in this ice cellar is all overflowing from this ice bed.

This is probably what Han Dang transported from the ice cave in Nazhong South Mountain. Guo said in his heart.

Guo Yu and Han Dang carried Xian Yuyan onto the cold ice bed and sat down, and Zhou Tianyuan helped him heal his injuries.

Since Yu Yan regained his human form, he has been in a semi-sleepy state, his eyes slightly closed, at the mercy of Guo and Han, without saying a word or a word.

Guo Hua and Han Dang were only speechless when he was not lightly injured, and they were all taken aback when they were in exercise to heal him.

In Xian Yuyan's body, there is no internal force, vitality or anything like that, just an empty body. Moreover, this body was full of vitality and vitality, and the heartbeat was surging and powerful, and that strong force passed through the arms of the two, and the waves came, causing the vitality of the two to vibrate with it.

The two of them were shocked, and immediately expected that Xian Yuyan's injury was fine, so they were about to withdraw their hands. At this time, Xian Yuyan seemed to notice the thoughts of the two, motioned for the two not to move, and said slowly: "You can just transport the vitality to the palm of your hand, and you don't need to enter my body." ”

When Guo Hua and Han Dang heard this, they stopped tacitly, and the two of them went one after the other, each with their palms on Xian Yuyan's shoulders, and the vitality of the movement was in the palms.

After a while, the two gradually realized that Xian Yuyan seemed to have two hearts, one heartbeat was surging and powerful, and the other heartbeat was gentle and slow. This rhythm is very comfortable, very warm, although you are in the ice cave, you are in spring.

Moreover, Guo Yu carefully found that several wounds on his body were healing at an alarming speed, because the healing speed was so fast that he could feel it.

Originally, the two of them wanted to heal Xian Yuyan, but they didn't think about it, but now they have become Xian Yuyan to heal themselves.

This is the power of witchcraft, looking at Xian Yuyan's performance just now, it must be. Witchcraft is a form of witchcraft that has been practiced since ancient times.

In ancient times, the great shaman often combined the functions of tribal leader and messenger of the gods, and was also the person in the tribe who concentrated on many knowledge such as medicine, witchcraft, animal husbandry, planting, astronomy, weapon making, and the law of war.

Of course, at that time, the power of the people was weak after all, and in order to be able to resist the invasion of wild beasts and alien races, the wise men of these tribes have been seeking greater power for generations.

Until one day, people began to use the power of those stronger, smarter, and more cunning animals, and people began to worship those tigers, wolves, bears and leopards, and regarded them as ancestors.

Back then, Chi You fought with Emperor Yan and Emperor Huangdi, and he was able to drive hundreds of beasts into soldiers, and he used the art of witchcraft. The highest stage of witchcraft is to be able to directly transfer the power of the tiger and leopard to himself, and Chiyou is a great shaman who has mastered this power.

At first, Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang were powerless against the Jiuli tribe and the army of beasts led by Chiyou, so they had no choice but to ask for help from a powerful tribe in the west, that is, the legendary Queen Mother of the West and her tribe, and finally defeated Chiyou.

After the defeat of Chiyou, Emperor Yan and Emperor Huang killed all the captives, and sent an army to expedition to Jiuli, punishing the shamans and wizards of the Jiuli tribe, in a vain attempt to eliminate the witchcraft.

Although Chi You was defeated in the end, he still became an immortal god of war and was worshiped by future generations, even the descendants of the Yanhuang tribe. Before the dynasties used their troops to go on the expedition, they had to sacrifice to the military god Chiyou, and the military god Chiyou on the banner was a monster with a humanoid beast face.

In the long history of mankind, farming tribes were the first to develop the technology of cultivation and domestication, gradually gave up hunting and gathering, and finally got rid of the fear and worship of wild beasts, but failed to develop powerful witchcraft. The nomadic tribes, on the other hand, have been hunting and gathering for a long time, and have never been able to get rid of the nightmare of poisonous snakes and beasts, and have had to master the habits and powers of various animals in a difficult life, and gradually develop all kinds of powerful witchcraft.

The Yanhuang tribe, which is a tribe in the Central Plains that is mainly farming, is full of fear of the witchcraft of the Chiyou people, so after defeating the Chiyou, they spare no effort to extinguish the spread of witchcraft.

Nowadays, some people who practice magic have visited the deep mountains and valleys in Baiyue, Nanzhao and other places to search hard, but they have never been able to get a glimpse of the witchcraft, and only collect all kinds of legends and anecdotes, like myths.

Guo Hua has always made friends with three sects and nine streams, and he has a lot of curiosity, and has heard some legends of witchcraft, but he has never seen it. Today, I had to meet such a powerful witchcraft as the nine-tailed demon fox, and I was already surprised and happy at that time, and I saw my good friend Xian Yuyan again, and he actually knew this ancient method, this fat man who was happy and forgetful on weekdays, even hidden, was really surprised, his face was happy, and he wanted to find Xian Yuyan to ask what was going on.

Just after Yin, he felt that Xian Yuyan's heart pulse gradually returned to normal, only to hear him mutter, raise his hand to slap the hands of the two of them, get down from the ice bed, and shout, screaming that he was starving to death.

Guo Yu and Han Dangzao felt that the pain all over their bodies had disappeared without a trace, and the scars on their arms and legs had disappeared overnight, and the two looked themselves up and down, and then looked at each other, except for the tattered clothes, their respective complexions were surprisingly good, as if nothing had happened yesterday.

The three of them came out of the ice cellar and saw Qibao guarding outside, looking sleepy, and it seemed that they had been keeping watch all night. I didn't have time to say anything to him, I just wanted to take a hot shower quickly, eat a full meal, and quickly order him to prepare a hot meal.

On weekdays, there is an old servant who specializes in taking care of Han Dang's daily life and food, and he also lives with Han Dang in Jin Wuwei's mansion. Qibao boiled water, the old servant prepared food, and went to find Jin Wuwei's robes, and chose two suitable ones for Guo Yu and Xian Yuyan to wear.

The three of them took a hot bath, and the fatigue of the night completely subsided. The old servant had already cooked a large pot of hot and sour pork porridge, specially added a lot of pepper, and baked browned Hu cakes. The broth and cakes are filled with heat, and the aroma arouses the appetite and makes the saliva water.

Several people slowly sucked the porridge, chewed the Hu cake carefully, a warm current in their stomachs, and their hearts were infinitely satisfied.

Xian Yuyan drank three bowls of porridge, ate five Hu cakes, wiped her mouth, touched her stomach, and when she looked up, she saw Guo Yu and Han Dang staring at her, with question marks on their faces.

He glanced at the two of them, and saw that Qibao and the old servant had finished eating, and were cleaning up, so without opening his mouth, he took his cowhide pocket and took out a small bamboo tube, which contained a toothpick that he had sharpened himself, he took one out of himself, and handed it to each of them to take one, and Gu Zi picked up his teeth there.

Guo Hua and Han Dang will understand. In fact, they didn't really want to ask about Xian Yuyan's family secrets, after all, whoever this kind of thing was put on, it must be an extremely secret thing. They were more surprised and surprised.

Qibao and the old servant saw it, quickly cleaned up, helped the three of them fetch water and rinsed their mouths, and quickly retreated.

Xian Yuyan didn't say anything directly, but sold it.

Xian Yuyan is a real person, and she has never hidden anything from her friends. This matter is indeed a family motto passed down from generation to generation, unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not use witchcraft, and you must not confide in others, otherwise you will be executed according to the clan rules.

At the beginning, the Ele people migrated to the Central Plains, the royal power became stronger and stronger, the shaman gradually lost power, and the position became more and more embarrassing, and they were often oppressed and blamed by the royal power. In order to avoid the disaster, the Xianyu clan gradually broke away from the power core of the Ele tribe and mixed with the Han people.

However, more than 100 years ago, there was a young man in the Xianyu clan who was unwilling to be lonely, because he was greedy for worldly power and glory, and showed off the power of witchcraft to the authorities, so that he was in danger of being wiped out. Therefore, a very strict ancestral precept was handed down.

Xian Yuyan knew how powerful it was, but she had never mentioned it to anyone. Yesterday, I was in a hurry, and I was seen by Guo Hua and Han Dang, and I woke up early in the morning, and I felt a little embarrassed. But he really didn't want to say anything more about it, so he said to the two: "One is my story, the other is the story of the nine-tailed demon fox, choose one of the two, you can only tell one." ”

After Xian Yuyan finished speaking, she deliberately pouted, looking like I am serious, don't you want to mess with your mind. However, this expression is made by him, which is very cute.

Guo Yu originally thought that he knew one line at a time, and Xian Yuyan probably understood the origin of the nine-tailed demon fox a little bit. Exploring people's privacy is not his character, so he made up his mind, so he wanted to ask Xian Yuyan how much he knew about the nine-tailed demon fox.

Seeing Xian Yuyan say this, Guo Yu smiled, and instead teased: "We are not related to that nine-tailed demon fox, and we don't want to know anything about her." How much do we care about you?"

Xian Yuyan originally wanted them to ask the nine-tailed demon fox, but when she heard Guo Yuyan's words, Xian Yuyan was speechless for a while, and shook her head.

When Han Dang saw it, he couldn't help but be happy. Xian Yuyan saw that Guo Hua was joking with herself, and her expression was twisted, and she said calmly: "Then I'll tell you the story of Uncle Ben, you can listen to me." ”

"The legend of the nine-tailed fox first appeared in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and it was also talked about in "Lu's Spring and Autumn", you should all know this!"

Guo Yu and Han Dang all know this.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas: The Great Wilderness East Classic" records: There is a country of green hills, a fox, and nine tails.

"Lü's Spring and Autumn" says: Yu was not married in the Chinese New Year's Eve, traveled to Tu Mountain, and was afraid of losing his heirs in the twilight. Words: My marriage must be answered. There is a white fox with nine tails and it was made in Yu. Yu said: The white one, I also obey. The nine-tailed one is also the proof. So Tushan people sang: Suisui white fox, nine-tailed Pang Pang, into the family, I am all prosperous, so I married Tushan girl. - Probably to say, Dayu married a woman from the nine-tailed fox clan, and with the help of this woman, he took the world and established the Xia Dynasty, and this woman gave birth to a son for Dayu, which is Qi.

Xian Yuyan smacked his lips and continued: "Why is it so far?, in fact, this kind of Beast King Gu, that is, this kind of witchcraft that can make people turn into beasts and enhance their strength, is called Beast King Gu. This Beast King Gu is not overnight, and it is not even something that can be cultivated by one or two generations. ”

Xian Yuyan paused, looked at the surprised looks of the two, and continued proudly: "This really has to start from the beginning, as early as ancient times, the ancestors were afraid of the power of poisonous snakes and beasts, in order to get their claws and fangs for their own use, the ancestors kept trying to mix the blood and even essence blood of these poisonous snakes and beasts with people. For example, drinking the blood of a leopard or a bear in order to gain divine power, of course, it is impossible to gain any power, only to fill their stomachs; later, they began to try to inject the blood of wild beasts into the human body, but many people did not gain divine power, but died; I think it must have been thousands of years before someone found a way to finally combine the power of the tiger and leopard with humans, and of course, it was also done at the expense of many generations. ”

"What method?" Guo Yu and Han Dang said in unison, interrupting Xian Yuyan.

"I don't know!" Xian Yuyan replied very simply, and shook her head very frankly. "This ancestral training didn't say it, it just said that that kind of Gu art was fused into the bloodline of a clan, not cultivated by later generations, and so on. The first person to obtain the power of the Beast King Gu was not cultivated by himself, but inadvertently discovered that he was born with the power to transform into a beast form, and in a battle with an alien race, under his anger, he turned into a black bear in an instant. Later, among his descendants, some people were found to have this power, but not everyone had it. However, this person is very smart, he thinks that his clan has inherited the position of the Great Shaman for generations, and his ancestors have been studying this Beast King Gu for generations, and it is likely that a certain generation of ancestors used some method to make some of his descendants able to have such power. He kept looking at the classics left by his ancestors, and of course the classics at that time were simple symbols carved on fan bones and wood chips. As a result, he really discovered that among a certain generation of ancestors, someone used a method to hope to be able to fuse the power of the beast, although the classics said that the method failed, but he believed that it must be that method that made his people's bloodline integrate such ability. ”

Guo Hua and Han Dang listened attentively, thinking in their hearts, but they didn't dare to make conclusions. However, the cultivation method of this beast king Gu does not need to be investigated, the important thing is the origin of the nine-tailed demon fox, it seems that Xian Yuyan does know a lot.
