Fei Yunfan saw that the time was almost up, and was about to get to the point: "May I ask the seniors, is there a lot of evil ghosts in this Xing'anling?" I wonder what the two of us need to pay attention to when we go to the mountains in the future? ”
"You have a nine-character mantra, and you will be afraid of evil ghosts?" Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "If you talk about unjust souls, I'm afraid that this world still belongs to the Central Plains, but the evil ghosts in the Central Plains are rare, do you know why?" ”
"The younger generation guesses that it is because Buddhism is prevalent in the Central Plains, which makes it difficult for evil ghosts to cultivate."
"Not exactly" Mrs. Wang shook her head and added: "There are three mountain talisman seals in Taoism, one of which specializes in defeating evil ghosts, but there is no reason to kill all the evil ghosts in the world. The reason why the Central Plains is so peaceful is only because the righteous path expelled the evil demons from the crooked way. On the other hand, some sects of shamanism instead delve into the way of ghosts, that is, they mainly keep evil spirits in captivity. ”
"What's the use of keeping demons in captivity?"
"Do you know what shamanism is best at?" Mrs. Wang did not answer the question directly, but asked a new question.
"Divination, medicine, psychic."
"Yes, do you know what shamanic divination methods are?"
"The younger generation doesn't know."
"Hey." Mrs. Wang sighed and said: "Taoist divination is based on mathematics, while witchcraft divination is guided by aura. In the final analysis, as long as people in Taoism master the method, they can continue to deduce with the help of mathematics and physics, and finally get the result. But even if a person in witchcraft has a method, it is difficult to get clear instructions without the support of aura. ”
"So you keep evil ghosts in captivity and use evil ghosts to divinate with the help of evil ghosts aura?" When Fei Yunfan heard this, he understood the principle of shamanic divination, that is, to use aura as a guide to spy on the future with the help of some specific methods. To be honest, if you are full of aura, you will see the future very clearly, and you will not miss a single thing. On the other hand, the deduction of Taoism can only be a foreshadowing, although it seems to be extremely accurate, but it is also criticized because of the excessive scope involved.
"Yes, it's a pity that after the fall of the Shang Dynasty, few people are willing to practice according to the secret methods worn by witchcraft, so there are very few people in Xing'an Mountains who can divinate now. However, the old man heard that there are many people who can divinate in Nanling Meishan witchcraft, but he doesn't know if he keeps evil ghosts in captivity. ”
"Or Nanling Meishan?" Fei Yunfan remembered that he had talked about Meishan before, but he was diverted by him.
"Yes, when the Central Plains Witch Sect was expelled, some fled to the Xing'an Mountains in the north, some fled to the South Mountains, and of course some people ran further, and even after thousands of years of inheritance, they are no longer considered to be Chinese people."
"I see, no wonder powerful people like Maoshan Sect and Dragon Tiger Mountain can't enter Nanling, and there is even the inheritance of the Wu clan among them."
"That's natural, there are many foundations in this world that can start a sect, how can it be easily destroyed. However, just like my snake totem lineage, it can only be a branch of shamanism now, and it is no longer the former leader of the witch cult. When Mrs. Wang said this, her expression showed a sense of helplessness: "The taste of this parasitic fence is not pleasant." ”
"Could it be that the snake totem clan is still being excluded in the Xing'an Mountains?"
"Do you know, the other totems are all 'one totem and one nation', but my snake totem is still the Han nationality, as a result, the primitive people of the Xing'an Mountains do not want to see us, and the Han people do not recognize us, so they are forced to stay on the edge of this mountain range, which has been counted for more than 3,000 years."
"The same is true of other Han totems?" At this time, Fei Yunfan had no choice but to follow the topic of Mrs. Wang.
"Not really, some totems are willing to become subordinates of other totems, although their status is low, but after all, they can live carefree in the mountains." When Mrs. Wang said this, she looked disdainful: "Of course, there are also some ethnic groups that have cultivated many great shamans, so they can live in a quiet place deep in the mountains. ”
At this time, Fei Yunfan didn't know how to continue, in his opinion, everyone has their own ambitions, and the choices made by others are not easy to comment on. In the words of his father Qiao Xiaotian, "take care of yourself first."
However, Mrs. Wang did not find out about Fei Yunfan's predicament, but asked her granddaughter to fetch something.
"You and I meet today because of fate, so I'll give you this thing."
Fei Yunfan took the brocade box from Mrs. Wang's hand, and when he opened it, he saw that it was a jade pendant carved with the symbol of the snake totem, about 3cm square.
"This thing is too valuable, and the younger generation dare not accept it." As he spoke, Fei Yunfan pushed the brocade box on the dining table in front of Mrs. Wang.
"Oh? Do you understand this? ”
"If the juniors are not mistaken, this is a piece of bone jade."
"Can you tell that it's bone jade, can you know what kind of bone it is?"
"Juniors can't."
Speaking of which, bone jade is not a rare object, and the principle of formation is not difficult to understand.
Nowadays, many people like to play with handle pieces, such as gourds, walnuts, beads, Hetian jade and so on. There is a term here called pulp, to put it bluntly, the grease in the hand invades the handle, making the thing more shiny. The next step in pulping is "jade quality". However, jade materialization does not make these things really become jade, jade walnuts are still walnuts, and the original variety has not changed. However, because of the "invasion" of long-term slurry, the density of the surface of the handle has been greatly improved, and the slurry mainly relies on human oil, so in addition to the light, it also gives people a sense of jade with its warm appearance.
In this way, it is not difficult to understand the bone jade. However, in the final analysis, human beings are still more taboo about death-related items, and bones are things that are left in this world after the death of living beings, so ordinary people will not hold on to a bone all day long.
So who would fiddle with bones? - Five Teachings.
In the land of China, only the Five Sects had the need to use bones. As we all know, the Five Religions are divided into many totems, and the vast majority of them exist in reality. For example, wolf totem, cow totem, fox totem. Of course, there are also some totems that do not exist, such as dragons, phoenixes, Qingluan, Xuanwu, and so on. And each totem will have a token, which is also a necessary condition for inheritance between wizards, such as the wolf tooth of the wolf totem and the horn of the cow totem. Mrs. Wang is a sorcerer of the snake totem, but now she is a shaman. What are the tokens of the Wizard Legacy of the Snake Totem?
It was certainly not a snake bone, as the snake's bone was too short to be used in a shaman's ritual. Of course, shamans who used to be snake totems often wear snake bone necklaces or bracelets to indicate their identity.
"Actually, it's a tiger bone." Mrs. Wang watched Fei Yunfan guess for a long time, but she couldn't touch the answer, so she could only tell him the truth.
Fei Yunfan was a little puzzled when he heard the answer, so he asked, "Why does the snake totem use tiger bones?" ”
"Of course my totem doesn't use tiger bones to cast spells. In fact, this pendant is cut and carved from tiger bone jade, with a total of five pieces. ”
"What do the seniors mean is that the Tiger Bone Jade was originally a complete piece of Tiger Bone?"
"That's right, this tiger bone is six inches, and it has long been jaded."
"This tiger bone jade is also a totemic thing? Could it be a tiger totem in ancient times? ”
"It is the inheritance of the tiger totem, from the Jiang family in Qishan - Gu Qiang"
