Chapter 26 The Human Heart is Good and Evil
Hundreds of years ago, who remembers so clearly how many years? At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there was a wizard in the Kui family who was keen on practicing black witchcraft, and he was gradually rejected by the family and expelled from the house.
However, he still looks for boys under the age of sixteen who are born with spiritual energy, in a vain attempt to use the spirit child's body to live forever. Each chosen spirit child will become his forbidden child, absorbing the aura from these children. Later, it simply developed into sucking the brain marrow and making the bones of the spirit child into magic weapons.
The Kui family found out that he was still using the witch family secret method after he was expelled from the family, so they abolished his witchcraft in accordance with the clan rules to make the people angry. In the end, the man escaped and fled to Tangut (in the area of Naqu Amdo in the present-day area). )
Tangut is a good place to practice, this wizard skills, at the beginning was not accepted by the locals, cunning rabbit three holes, when he escaped, he lurked to his own private treasure to the place and took a lot of money, plus he did have real skills, and he could speak some local languages, and soon became a local wizard.
By chance, Qiqi's life happened to meet the conditions of his "girl born with aura", but he didn't expect this child's sister to be willing to go for his sister. According to the locals, people who voluntarily sacrificed to the gods are glorified in things. Therefore, the person who was expelled by the Kui family felt that this sister's qualifications were also good, and in order to maintain his image in front of outsiders, he agreed to this sister to sacrifice and make a magic weapon for the gods. It didn't take long for the person who was expelled by the Kui family to be secretly executed by the Wu family, so Sister Gou was taken back to Shu by the Kui family.
Later legend is that Qiqi saw that after her sister was adopted by the locals, she still kept looking for her sister.
"You didn't directly release the resentful spirits in the drum and take them away, but let Qiqi do it, and it was the people behind you who made what agreement with whom. Or what is the cause and effect with the previous life of the dragon seven-seven or the dragon seven-seven. It will definitely not be the Long family, if it is the Long family, your attitude towards Long Qiqi will not be like this. Jiang Hao was immersed in self-speculation and reasoning, and didn't care whether the cloaked man answered right or wrong, which was his bad taste in recent years.
"That's right. Long Qiqi and my master do have some cause and effect. But it's her own choice. When Long Qiqi was dying in his last life, he met my master ......"
The cloaked man tells another story: when Qiqi died in the previous life, the master came to her and opened her soul memory, and she remembered the past life. Long Qiqi, who was in that life, said regretfully, "No wonder I have been looking for something in my life, and the knife doesn't know what I'm looking for in the end." She asked the man in black to help her reincarnate with this soul mark, hoping that one day she would be able to remember the past when she met her sister. Then Long Qiqi in the previous life was reincarnated with regrets and wishes for the next life.
"Having said so much, everything today is Long Qiqi's own choice. It's done, say goodbye. After the cloaked man finished speaking, he was about to leave, but Jiang Hao took another step to stop: "Put down the things in your hand, you can go wherever you like." ”
The cloaked man quickly made a decision and threw a mirror in his hand in front of Lu Jia, and then jumped out of the window. When Jiang Hao looked down from the window, he saw a figure jumping downstairs under the street lamp and rolling a few times, and then quickly disappeared into the heavy rain. Jiang Hao weighed himself, but still didn't jump down.
The mirror that fell to the ground shattered into pieces. The black qi rolled out from the shattered mirror, and at this time, the stones of other mountains in Lu Jia's body moved, absorbing all those grievances. The soul that had been stripped of its resentment also revealed its true face: a beautiful girl, still maintaining the clothes that had been torn from that era, combing the two braids on her head on her chest, standing barefoot in front of Qiqi, looking at her and smiling and saying, "Little sister, you came to me." ”
Qiqi stretched out her hands to hug her, but her hands only passed through the air and couldn't touch anything.
"Sister, the cloaked man said you would hate me, did you hate me?"
"No, Sister likes you the most."
"Sister, my name is Qiqi, Qiqi."
"Qiqi, it turns out that your name is Qiqi now, it's so good, you have to live well for me......"
The blurred figure of my sister slowly disappeared. Qiqi's tears dried up, and his whole soul was taken away by his sister, looking at the place where his sister disappeared as if he was shelled, motionless.
The other two people present were also so quiet that they could barely hear the sound of breathing.
After a long time, Qiqi came to his senses and asked Jiang Hao: "Uncle, can my sister still be reincarnated?" ”
"I guess I can." Jiang Hao touched his nose when he said this, and his eyes wandered away.
……
"Master, the Kui family you said seems to have a lot of background?" When she returned home at night, Lu Jia, who had been unable to sleep for a long time because of her fright, sat on the edge of the table in the study with her uninjured hand flipping through a book on the origins of witchcraft and religion. Jiang Hao poured a cup of tea next to him and sat down and began a tirade.
"The surname Kui has a long history, and it is an ancient surname."
"During the Xia Dynasty, most of the people surnamed Kui were psychic, that is, the earliest sorcerers, and sorcerers were responsible for divination and sacrifices at that time. Speaking of wizards, we have to mention the Ghost Zone. Legend has it that the ancestor of the ghost clan was an ancient physician, but he was an incomparable figure who assisted the Yellow Emperor among the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.
"That's amazing." Lu Jia's eyes didn't blink.
"It's nothing, know who invented the Five Elements? It was this ghost district who helped the Yellow Emperor invent it. Not only that, but the Ghost Shadow area has studied the meridians, yin and yang, and luck. ”
Jiang Hao raised his eyebrows again and again as he spoke, it seemed that he really admired this ancestor of the ghost clan.
"No wonder even the saints hold him in such high esteem." Lu Jia nodded while listening, expressing his approval.
"[Ghost] is a spirit, and the [ghost] here is not what we call a ghost in our folk, but a spirit. Therefore, the descendants of the Ghost District were also called the Ghost Clan at the earliest. Hidden as the surname Kui. In this way, the person surnamed Kui is amazing, not only fine medicine, but also understands yin and yang, longitude and latitude, and ghosts and gods. Because the ghost people have always been called wizards. ”
"This ancestor of the ghost clan is simply like a god." Lu Jia praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Yes, the Manchu shaman is called a sorcerer, also known as a psychic messenger. The folk called their ability to predict and divinate something as witchcraft, and later people only knew about the witch clan, but did not know that [witch] began with the ghost clan. Modern people know even less, and only those who can use witchcraft are collectively referred to as witches. Jiang Hao took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued, "Where did you just go?"
"Speaking of the descendants of the Ghost District, they are called wizards." Lu Jia refilled a cup of hot tea for the master.
"Yes, after the ghost area, there are historical records, and there are historical records that during the Shang Dynasty, the invaded Deng State also had people surnamed Kui live. War, ah, brings about killing and at the same time brings about the integration of peoples. Therefore, this person with the surname Kui later became a multi-ethnic surname, and there were also people who changed their surnames to other surnames, and there were also people who changed their surnames to Kui...... After several years, the ghost people continue to move, and it is said that only the branch of Shu is the real descendant of the ghost area, and during the Qing Dynasty, it experienced a separation, and the branch that separated came to the west of Beijing. I think the woman who left just now is hidden in Jingxi. ”
Lu Jia, who had gauze wrapped around his arm, listened for a long time, tilted his head and thought for a long time, blinked his big eyes twice and said, "In this way, the ghost people are not all black witchcraft." ”
"Girl, good and evil are at ease in people's hearts, and it has nothing to do with their nationality or culture." Jiang Hao chattered for a long time, felt thirsty again, drank a good sip of tea, and said, "Go to bed early, don't think so much." Learning is not something learned in a day. Then he went out of the study.
