Gu Fengchun nodded and said, "I read the relevant records in a notebook novel from the Song and Yuan dynasties, and I always thought that it was just a novelist's words and should not be true. ”

Zhou Dingxuan's breathing suddenly became rapid again, and he said in a loud voice: "Then tell me, what is said in the novel." "Obviously, he didn't know much about the fistula, otherwise he wouldn't be so nervous and longing.

Gu Fengchun lowered his head and was silent, searching for memories related to this man in his mind, and then said slowly after a while: "If you want to talk about this man, you have to start with the servant." ”

Regarding the stump people, he has read some records from a solitary notebook novel of the Song Dynasty, which records some customs and legends in some southwest regions of the pre-Qin period, which are mostly absurd and cannot stand up to scrutiny, so he never pays much attention to it. There is a part of it that says that there is a Hu tribe between Bashu, and the people of this ethnic group are not buried like in the Central Plains after death, but they dig holes in the cliff wall, and the rafters are used as stakes to hang the coffins of the deceased high. This Yu tribe is likely to be the people who invented cliff burials in the Bashu region.

The reason why the servants took great pains to store the coffins of the deceased on the cliffs is what it is, experts and scholars have not yet reached a conclusion; However, in the notebook novel, it is said that the servant worships the heavens, respects the heavens, and believes that the soul will go to heaven after death, so the higher the distance from the sky, the greater the possibility of the soul soaring. Therefore, in order for the ancestors to be able to soar smoothly, the descendants have spared no effort to create a towering burial place for the ancestors. But now, we don't know where to start, and this method of cliff burial is lost.

The servant is tall, according to the current weights and measures, it should be about 1.9 to 2.34 meters (taller than Da Yao, sweat), and his strength is infinite, but the ability to reproduce does not seem to be very good, and the number is not large; They would often raid the territory of other tribes, rob property, and plunder slaves; It was not until he was defeated by the coalition army formed by the legendary silkworm tribe that he hastily withdrew from Bashu and fled to the northern Yunnan region. The silkworm Cong clan pursued relentlessly, and as a result, they caught up with the servants in northern Yunnan, and the two sides launched the final decisive battle, but the servants were finally defeated and withdrew from the stage of history; Later, the Yu people who were called in history were in fact not the original Yu people, but the ancestors of the Bai people. Before the rise of the Silkworm Tribe, the Yu tribe swept through almost the entire Bashu region, and their most powerful combat power was not the strong warriors of the Hu tribe, but a kind of witchcraft.

This form of witchcraft is called ringworm, and it is a rigid state that can make people immortal, but when instructed by a wizard, they become extremely brave and invincible on the battlefield. In modern parlance, this is the walking dead.

When Gu Fengchun said this, his heart was cold, and he couldn't help but think of those people who had been poisoned by fenberry grass before, didn't they also become like walking corpses? And it has mutated into a terrifying monster. Could it be that this ringworm has some close connection with fenberry grass?

Gu Fengchun went on to say that this kind of witchcraft cannot be cracked, and people who fall into witchcraft are generally called sorcerers, and they can only be controlled by wizards to carry out activities, and they often distinguish between friend and foe, except for the wizards who control, as long as they see a living person, they will hunt and kill. The sorcerers had no choice but to use their own blood mixed with a unique potion to mark the foreheads of their own people, and after the blood stains of this mark were cleaned, they still left a faint trace until a month after the sorcerer's death. Anyone with this kind of sign will not attack, this method is to use the blood of the wizard to maintain the safety of the clan, so it is called "blood redemption".

But often a wizard's lifespan is much shorter than the one he controls, and once the wizard dies, the man will gradually lose control. Therefore, the witches can only destroy the people under their control in a unique way before they die, or else they will perform a dangerous ritual to inject their own blood into their offspring, so that their breath will continue to control the people. This ritual is generally carried out by choosing the eldest son, the whole ritual is very dangerous, the eldest son will be placed in the middle of the fistula, and the old wizard will infuse the blood on his body into the eldest son in a unique way, if the fistula people reject the new master, then the grievances that the fistula people have accumulated over the years will be vented to the new owner, and the new master can be torn to pieces in an instant. At that time, the population was sparse, the plundered slaves were strong, and there were not many suitable for being a stump, and it was not easy to refine, the people were a very precious wealth in the tribe, so the servants generally chose the most dangerous way to preserve the tribe's property.

The reason why the servants decayed so quickly is that the means of refining the people are too cruel, arousing the common hatred of other tribes, under the call of the silkworm tribe, the servants were besieged by many tribes, and the house leak encountered a rainy day, at this time, the servants of the new and old wizards had an accident in the succession, and the servants were killed and injured by the counterattack of the Fistula army, and under the attack of the coalition army, they were unable to resist, so they had to transfer the entire tribe to the northern Yunnan region, trying to escape from Bashu, open up a new territory, stabilize it in the future, and then try to take revenge.

How do you know that the leader of the Silkworm Cong Department is a wise lord, and he has long understood the servant's strategy of retreating, and knows that the servant is weird and varied, if it is allowed to ease its strength and establish a powerful army of the Silkworm people, plus the servants are already savage and good at war, then the tribes of the coalition army will have to face annihilation. So the silkworm cong continued to lead the tribe to continue to chase and kill the servants in the lofty mountains, and finally wiped out the main force of the servants in the vast 100,000 mountains and returned triumphantly.

This note is very wonderfully written in the novel, but there is no mention of similar things in the official history, so Gu Fengchun has always been only made up. You must know that about the ancient history of Bashu, there is only one "Huayang National Chronicles" that is slightly detailed, but most of them can only be read as myths and stories, and historians are far from paying real attention to the historical information contained in them. As for the notebook novels of later generations, not to mention the credibility, not to mention that most experts and scholars turn a blind eye, and even Gu Fengchun, a new school who likes to drill the horns of the bull, does not pay much attention to these records.

Gu Fengchun made a gesture to Gu Zhenting, indicating that he needed a little time to sort out these clues; Once you have sorted out these clues, you may be able to discover something from them.

Zhou Dingxuan was drenched in cold sweat when he heard this, and he sighed: "This must be true, this blind spot will be recorded in an unknown notebook novel." ”
