Ming Yi listened with great interest, and hurriedly picked him up in a tiger skin, and asked urgently: "What Qiaozong?" ”

Zhang Qiu pointed to the empty lamp and said deliberately: "Dry mouth." ”

Ming Yi hurriedly continued to serve tea: "Shitai fragrant buds, the marshal will use it." ”

Zhang Qiu saw that the soup was green and pretty, and tasted a few mouthfuls seriously, and felt that the tip of his tongue was fresh and fragrant, like chewing mangs in his mouth, tender and smooth. The accepted saying: "Choose a person who knows how to summon gods and impeach ghosts, talismans and forbidden spells, and regard them as ghosts." He prays for the sick. ”

Mingyi: "Ghost officer, does it have anything to do with the ghost master?" ”

Zhang Qiu: "Yes, listen to me, let the details go first." ”

Ming Yi nodded and respectfully handed over a plate of hydrangea cakes.

Zhang Qiuxin took one in his hand and continued: "The name of the patient, the meaning of the confession, a total of three copies, called three links. One of them is in the sky, and it is on the mountain; the second place of burial; The three sinking waters ......"

Ming Yi: "The tea ceremony has been mentioned, and it is called the Sanguan Handbook." ”

Zhang Qiu bowed his head and ate all the bud tea in the cup, Fang said: "This ghost official is not in vain, and the patient's family needs to pay five buckets of rice for merit." Because of this, the ghost official got the nickname of [Five Bucket Rice Master]. ”

Ming Yi said: "So the Nanzhao sacrifice, the unique content of the ritual is these three official handwritings!" ”

Zhang Qiu took a piece of Luoshen flower fruit fried, nodded and smiled: "At first, maybe three or five families offered a ghost official, and the famous one was powerful, and there were many people who came to meet each other, and it was easy to become the guardian of the local barbarians, and gradually he was regarded as the master, the chief priest, and the name was changed to [Ghost Lord]." ”

Ming Yi said: "That ghost master is only proficient in singing, chanting and fighting, how can he make the magistrates and generals jealous?" ”

Zhang Qiu chewed on the seven-return cake and said with a smile: "As an official, who can not have three disasters and eight difficulties?" Most of them ask the ghost lord for advice to protect the rich and noble. In front of them, nine times out of ten, there are nine times of gratitude, dedication, and care. The knowledgeable ghost lord took advantage of the situation to instigate the local barbarians, and the magistrates and generals held the power of killing large and small in the palm of their hands. ”

Ming Yi: "The one who has a lot of power is the big ghost master, and the other is the little ghost master?" ”

Zhang Qiu nodded: "The big tribe is called the big ghost master, and the hundred or two hundred small tribes are the little ghost masters." And when many people believed in them, they felt that they were omnipotent, not only sick, but also vengeful, life-seeking, childbirth, burial, family and promotion...... All within the prayers of the barbarians. The amount of money you have to pay is more, whether it's a cow or a sheep. ”

Ming Yi smacked his tongue: "In this way, the ghost master is a very wealthy figure in the tribe, and he can also make money for people to work for him, and he has both fame and power!" ”

Zhang Qiu nodded: "At the beginning of the Southern Zhao, the eastern Yunnan region was a tribe where the Eastern Barbarians gathered. In order to effectively control the tribe, the leader took advantage of the belief of his own nation [Shang Ghost Witch] to find ways to establish himself as the ghost master! With the authority in hand, he can firmly control the physical and mental knowledge of his subordinates, and easily sit in his position! ”

Ming Yi: "In history, what are the famous ghost masters?" ”

Zhang Qiu: "The big ghost master of Luoshan is Yanchang, and the big ghost master of Nanning Prefecture is Chongdao, they belong to the big ghost master of the planing family; and the barbarian ghost lord Meng Guyi, who belongs to the Meng clan big ghost master. ”

Mingyi: "I remembered, Cha Yi mentioned that these two belong to the Han nationality and are from a family with the surname Nanzhong. ”

Zhang Qiu: "Yes, in order to stabilize their political achievements, they set themselves up as the big ghost masters. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Wumanians in eastern and southern Yunnan, and the Baimans in western Yunnan, each had its own big ghost master. The leader of the clan and the clan, more noble, calls the ghost lord of the capital. ”

Mingyi: "Then why did you pull out the big and small shamans?" ”

Zhang Qiu: "The things that the ghost is in charge of are gone, where can I still move the kung fu sacrifice?" It is the same to give it to the faithful slaves, and to give them orders. ”

Mingyi: "Let me tell you, Tho Mengchong is not the most capable ghost master?" ”

mentioned him, Zhang Qiu was disgusted: "He's a big deal!" The boat holder is the serious big ghost master, and although Tho Mengchong and Hu Pang are the big ghost masters, they are sent by him. Previously, they were canonized by Li Tang, and if they were disobedient, the local jiedu envoy had the right to use force to replace them. ”

Mingyi: "That doesn't make sense! ”

Zhang Qiu: "What? ”

Mingyi: "Before, Wei Gong found evidence of Tho Mengchong's collusion with I. But he didn't kill him, let alone replace him, but reported it to the authorities. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty did not kill him, but awarded him the title of King Huaihua. Of course, there are also two Lin Bi Pang and Tho Wuxing at the same time. It's just that their gifts are much less than Tho Mengchong! Wei Gong said that in order to divide them and lead to killing, so as to punish him. You say that, it doesn't make sense! ”

Zhang Qiu shook his head: "In the end, he is too young, can he do it himself, he is happy to be a good person!" Don't you understand this? ”

Mingyi: "What did you say?" ”

Zhang Qiu: "Among the ghost masters, he is not the most powerful, but he is the most cunning and ruthless. Closer to him, wasn't Gu Zheng stolen by the witch doctor under his account? is so vicious, he can still be a ghost master, and sit firmly in this position, which shows how stupid the barbarians under his rule are. The Tang Dynasty Emperor dared to kill him, wouldn't it arouse resentment? The DPRK and China are already deadlocked with a group of Tibetan lackeys, and if this happens, they will definitely publicize the disadvantages of subordination to Li Tang. The matter of framing Zhang Qiantuo as King Xiannan Zhao (Ge Luofeng) was said at once! ”

He paused, and then said, "And the hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff." That kind of person, it's easy to kill from the outside, but his minions will still be poisonous for a while. You need to take off his disguise and kill yourself from the inside to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots! ”

Mingyi: "Indeed! What is the Tianzun Pillar that the tea ceremony talks about? ”。

Zhang Qiu: "We mentioned it in our own compilation of "The Legend of the Iron Pillar"...
