Chapter 5: The Witchcraft of the Ancestors

On both sides of the road, ancient trees are towering.

It's not so much a road as a trail that has been trampled out.

Amazingly, in front of the carriage, whether it was a huge number of trees that were tens of feet high, or weeds that grew wildly higher than the wheels, all of them naturally gave way to the road.

As a result, the path, which was originally only accessible to two people, was suddenly widened into a wide avenue that could accommodate four cars together.

The soft soil is tamped, transpirated, and strengthened by invisible forces, making it easy to drive.

The carriage drove slowly, and wherever it passed, not a single grass grew, and the wild beasts scattered in all directions.

The beasts, whether they were carnivorous or herbivorous, consciously avoided them long before the convoy left, as if they had met the true monarch, the power above all beings.

This is witchcraft.

From the ancient ancestors, grasp the power of nature.

Witchcraft is the earliest attempt of the ancestors of the human race to control everything.

Lin Zhengyang undoubtedly mastered this great power.

"The art of simulacrum, used here, can easily create a wide avenue; The art of repelling beasts can easily drive beasts and subdue them··········· It is no wonder that wizards are more noble than nobles, and if they have this ability, they are naturally above mortals. ”

"I only learned about the notoriety of wizards today."

In the carriage, Lin Zhengyang was sitting, and on a wooden case in front of him, there was a clear water jar and clay.

On top of this is a beautifully drawn semi-finished terracotta map.

With his mind, the clay on which the spell was cast was added to the map by an invisible force, a miniature clay path.

He cast a spell inside the car, and the corresponding outside was the amazing scene.

All changes in the model here will be faithfully reflected in the outside world.

This is the art of simulacrum, an ancient form of witchcraft.

It goes by many other names.

The principle is pictogram.

That is, the so-called idol view of the ancestors.

The ancestors believed that by shaping similar shapes, they could be used to simulate the movement of certain things and grasp the power of their essence.

Based on this, witchcraft was born.

Simulate the rising and setting of the sun to master the power of the solar cycle and achieve eternal life.

The so-called "thinking about the sun and the moon, staying in the face and not dying" is the essence of it, which also originates from this.

This can be considered one of the origins of witchcraft.

From this, earth-shattering supernatural powers can evolve.

This is Lin Zhengyang's innovative witchcraft, opening up new paths where there are no roads.

Originally, this kind of witchcraft used simulacrum or pictogram to manipulate nature.

In the past, witches were also used to open up paths, but the way of temporarily pinching the earth people was very crude.

This kind of witchcraft, the closer the image is created, the more obvious the effect.

For example, without this elaborate sand table model, it would have required at least ten or even hundreds of times more mana to achieve the same effect.

The more similar it is, the easier it is to manipulate, and that's pretty simple.

However, its usage doesn't stop there.

The same principle can be used to inflict curses, give vitality, expel ominousness, and dispel evil...... The magic power of the spell is ever-changing, and the use of it is wonderful, and it is stored in one mind.

The so-called fighting method is the test of this basic skill and adaptability.

Witchcraft can be said to be the origin of all spells.

Whether it is called witchcraft, or the current popular left-side door magic, or the Yuqing Zhengfa of expounding the teachings, the essence of the source is similar, and it all comes from the exploration of nature by the ancient ancestors.

The carriage stopped in front.

A great river crossed the front.

It is about ten zhang wide, the water is shining, and from the upstream downstream, this large river completely blocks the road.

"Wu, there's a big river blocking the way ahead."

Someone came to reciprocate.

Although it was through the curtain, Lin Zhengyang could still hear his actions and knew that he was bowing his head respectfully.

With his ear power, he could accurately feel the subtle vibration of any grain of dust within a radius of tens of miles, the number of times each leaf vibrates, and the rotation and direction of every minute air current················ As a result, a black and white picture without color is sketched in my mind.

This is the application of this magic power that he has gradually developed.

Even if he loses his sight at the moment, he can still use ear power instead.

Divine power is this kind of god-like ability, which is unimaginable to ordinary people.

"Don't worry."

A sound like spring water then came from inside the car.

Inexplicably, it gives people a sense of stability.

"Whoa—"

The sound of water flowing slowly sounded.

A shocking image appeared before my eyes - the river was divided!

Like a real curtain, the river separates on both sides and rises high, like two curtains rolling up, one on the left and one on the right, and like a lid being lifted.

"This, this is ·········"

Rao's guards, who had already seen witchcraft along the way, were still so surprised.

In front of them, in the curtain of water, some strange-looking fish could be vaguely seen, struggling and swimming, but they could not jump out of the water at all.

When the curtain of water was lifted, the river valley was left behind.

At this moment, the voice came from inside the car:

"Keep on your way."

"Yes!"

The group continued to drive their horses through the valley.

The bottom of the river, which should have been wet silt, is now dry and compact, just as it has been all the way.

··········

"Why haven't you waited yet?"

The two foxes, who had been waiting impatiently, had been sleeping on their stomachs on the trees for a while.

From morning to evening, and from evening to dawn.

They've been waiting here for ten years.

"Could it be, not from here at all?"

Figgling with the dry food found on the dead man, a fox asked.

"This is impossible, this is the only way for Jiang Guo to go to Middle-earth, as long as that kid plans to go to Chaoge, he will definitely pass through here."

"We have the cicada chirping Gu fed by Bigan's painstaking efforts, and they will chirp as long as they get close, and they will never admit their mistakes."

A cloth bag that I found out of nowhere was opened, and inside was a golden insect like a cicada, with three pairs of translucent golden wings.

"Tu Shan Niangniang said that within this month, the son of Bigan will leave for Chaoge."

"Wen Zhong really did his best, sent people to such a remote and small country, and set up suspicions, so we searched for so long."

"If it weren't for the news from the sect members, we wouldn't have known that there was such a thing!"

In the snow, the cold wind howled, muffling the conversation between the two foxes and carrying them into the distance.

In the forest, all the way to open up the mountains and open the way, in the convoy of water, Lin Zhengyang is listening.

"Expounding and Intercepting ......"

As early as a few years ago, Lin Zhengyang began to consciously exercise his ability to listen to the wind.

The art of listening to the wind is different from the magic power of listening to the sky, and it is a kind of witchcraft.

As the name suggests, listen to the distant sounds brought by the wind.

It is a form of witchcraft that allows people to hear the sounds of distant cities.

At the same time, he also learned the language of the beasts.

These are the foundations of becoming a great witch.

Every great witch is based on the foundation and comprehends supernatural powers at a deeper level.

With supernatural powers, it is not necessarily a great witch, but a great witch must have supernatural powers.

Lin Zhengyang used the help of listening to the wind and the language of beasts to inquire about the world's major events from the mouths of birds from the south to the north.

Of course, the occasional distant wind can bring some useful news.

At this time, for example, he was listening to the conversation between the two foxes.

The demonic aura of those two foxes can be smelled from such a distance, and there is also blood, which is very eye-catching, especially for a wizard.

If a wizard who deals with non-human beings can't identify the origin of the weirdness and respond to it in a targeted manner, then death will be in vain...... After all, most wizards are still human, and humans are fragile creatures.

"Go farther away, hoping to avoid these two foxes, or else you'll have to do it. Hopefully it won't be so unlucky. ”

As far as the new wizard is concerned, it's no problem to deal with ordinary monsters, but this time it's a bit too much.

The monster that speaks human words has become the climate, and it is quite dangerous to encounter it.
