Cha Wenbin looked down at his left hand and said: "But I really haven't practiced the ghost way, which is what you said witchcraft, are you sure that my hand is the backlash of witchcraft?" ”

"Yes, I can feel the aura of my clan's witchcraft in you, although it is still weak, it has begun to eat away at your body."

"Is this sorcery only known to the high priests of your past?"

"We have been guarding the sacred mountain behind us for generations, and it is said that a long time ago there was a tribe that escaped from here, and they took away some of the things that belonged to the Qiang tribe, and also took away the patriarch who was still in infancy, so now we have no patriarch here, and I, the high priest, have the right to temporarily take the patriarch."

Then they were taken out of the tent, and a sumptuous dinner had been prepared for them.

The Qiang people were very hospitable, and they prepared fine wine, a kind of local wine made from barley. On the fire is roasting a fat sheep full of fragrant fragrance and golden dripping oil.

High Priest Yun arranged for Cha Wenbin to sit with him, while the others surrounded the city around the fire in the middle.

Many teenagers and girls wore masks woven of feathers and danced the most primitive dances around them, and sang beautiful and high-pitched melodies in their mouths with their voices peculiar to the plateau. They used animal tendons as strings, large pieces of cowhide as drums, and held the bones of various animals in their hands to collide with each other as an accompaniment to the banquet.

Although they don't understand their language, alcohol is the best communication tool between men. The horizontal meat face is not only good and powerful, but the amount of wine is naturally not covered, the man who was knocked over by him to the ground during the day and he is still fighting at the wine table, and the two use a somewhat simple mud pot to fight directly, quite a bit of a sense of seeing each other late.

It's the old knives that they just symbolically raised the bowl, as an excellent soldier, always a clear mind is the most important thing.

Cha Wenbin and High Priest Yun made clear their intentions, he came here to find an ancient ruin, which now seems to be roughly the so-called sacred mountain.

High Priest Yun said that as long as they could enter, he would not stop them, just like the ancestors let the person surnamed Chang in, they believed that this sacred mountain would only allow those who were destined to come out alive.

There is another thing, which has always been Cha Wenbin's heart disease, and he took this opportunity to say: "Today I found that the waist plate on that strong man's body is engraved with a character, I want to ask High Priest Yun This is the script used in the clan?" ”

After receiving the affirmative reply from High Priest Yun, Cha Wenbin was a little overjoyed, he immediately spread out a piece of paper, dipped it in red cinnabar, and copied the seventy-two big characters that had already been printed in his brain word for word, and even the handwriting was basically based on the original manuscript, and then presented it to the High Priest.

The high priest took it and looked at it, squinted his eyes by the light of the fire, and immediately his face changed and asked, "Where did you get this thing?" ”

Cha Wenbin described the fact that this thing came from the General's Temple to the high priest, and the old man listened to this story with some incredulity, and then exclaimed: "The use of witchcraft by the Central Plains people has reached such a magical point, and it is really a kind of creation for that person to be able to walk out alive." ”

High Priest Yun hurried back to his house with Cha Wenbin, and he translated it word for word into a man according to the words on the manuscript, wrote it on the parchment scroll, and handed it to Cha Wenbin.

High Priest Yun said with some excitement: "Every generation of our high priests has been reading these Taoist knowledge passed down from the Central Plains to cleanse their eroded souls, but no one has ever thought of combining this witchcraft with Taoism, but this person has done it, no wonder he can get out alive." ”

Cha Wenbin took the parchment scroll and looked at it, there are many Taoist cultivation methods that he is familiar with in the full text bytes, and some are those that he has never seen, and the text records in detail the use of this Taoist method and the interpretation of the most profound ghost seal in Taoist charms.

On this night, the two sat down to talk, and a priest who was proficient in witchcraft and a generation of Taoist masters finally completely unraveled the true text of this "Book of Ruyi".

On the desk of the high priest of Yun, there are many books on Taoist thought in the Central Plains, including Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, and the book of all the later Taoist theoretical knowledge, known as "the head of the group of classics, the source of the avenue" of the "Book of Changes".

As early as 5,000 years ago, Fuxi painted gossip and created sixty-four trigrams. Fuxi draws gossip based on the phenomena of nature. At that time, the Fuxi clan discovered many mysteries of the universe, but there was no written record and they were lost. By the time of King Wen of Zhou, King Wen exposed the mystery discovered by Fu Xi, and after King Wen penetrated the mystery of gossip, he found that the inside was encompassing the mysteries of the universe, and at the same time had all the principles and principles related to life. Later, the king of Wen made an change, and used the hexagrams and epigrams of the sixty-four hexagrams to record the sixty-four great truths that exist in the universe and pass them on to future generations.

The other is Lao Tzu, the true god who is said to be the Taishang Laojun in Taoism is said to be a descendant of Peng Zu, in the first year of Shang Chaoyang, the god turned into gas, and Lao Tzu was born in the womb of the daughter of the King of Xuanmiao.

According to the inference of the two of them, if the Kunlun gods and men are the origin of everything, then this is the birthplace of the first generation of Chinese mythological figures, and that was about five years ago.

Then three thousand years ago, a tribe migrated out from here, and finally arrived in the Sichuan Plain, forming a new ethnic group, this race is the ancient Shu Kingdom established by the silkworm cong and the king of Yuyu, since then the Shushan line opened the second ** of Chinese mythological history, and again there will be no blowout legend in the future, because the country was finally destroyed by Qin in the Warring States Period.

And Peng Zu is the great-great-grandson of one of the five emperors of antiquity, according to legend, he lived for 800 years and was listed as an immortal by Taoism. And Emperor Zhuan unified the Qiang that migrated out, and the Silkworm Cong and the King of Yuyu are also his descendants, which means that Emperor Zhuan is very likely to be the patriarch who was taken from here.

Taoism is based on the Book of Changes and Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching as its own theoretical basis, it absorbs Taoist thoughts, but there are differences, and eventually this kind of religion based on Taoist ideas is called Taoism.

However, Cha Wenbin called him the most primitive form of Taoism, because Taoism at this time was still a religion of propaganda and ideology disseminated by theoretical knowledge, and it did not evolve into various charms, methods and formations, and it should not have the ability to channel the gods at that time.

And in that mythological era, the only thing that had the ability to use the supernatural was Qiang witchcraft!

According to the explanation of the high priest of Yun, there are several main things about their witchcraft:

The first is qi and blood: it can make the injured person recover as soon as possible within a period of time, mainly used to treat diseases and disabilities, which is vividly reflected in the body of the three-legged toad, and its greatest ability is to allow the injured person to heal in a short time.

High Priest Yun said that according to records, there was indeed a divine beast on this mountain that could have such abilities before, but it was rumored that it was taken away by the clan branch at that time, and now it seems that it was taken to Qifeng Mountain!

The second is Linghui: in ancient times, the combination of strength and wisdom could dominate the fate of others, and Linghui was also the high priest, his wisdom was supreme, he could call the wind and rain, and had a major leadership position in the tribe.

Here, the high priest is the cloud opposite Cha Wenbin, and in Sichuan, it is the golden mask!

At this point, the high priest of Yun is different from the golden mask, maybe they are the origin of the gods here, there are enough animals to sacrifice themselves, and the one in Sichuan has to force the people of their own tribe to sacrifice their gods at the cost of their lives in order to sense the gods.

The third is premeditation: taking the best men or women of the tribe as seedlings, training their premonitions, a bit like prophetic feelings, to judge the future direction, mainly the weather, harvest, and so on.

The last one is the soul dementor: similar to Taoist priests like Cha Wenbin, but they are good at performing death techniques, including techniques that bring people back to life and resurrect their souls, as well as immortal witchcraft that makes people immortal. But every time a dementor is performed, the high priest has to pay a terrible price, and the immortality is only a long life.

Cha Wenbin said that these witchcraft are very close to the Taoist school he is learning now, because Taoist Taoist thoughts: respectively, they correspond to the use of charms to cure diseases, that is, to exorcise evil spirits, and then it is to pray for rain and pray for blessings, and the other is to tell hexagrams and divination to see numerology, although Cha Wenbin does not dare to say that he can bring people back to life, but another ability of Taoist priests is to deal with those invisible things.

The two of them suddenly discovered that this ancient witchcraft was the prototype of the Taoist art used by Cha Wenbin now. It's just that Taoism has a more complete theoretical thought and academic system.

Cha Wenbin drew some of his commonly used charms to show the high priest of Yun, and many of them were proved to be from this ancient Qiang culture that even Cha Wenbin himself could not understand.

At this point, a true source of Taoism had been fully revealed to them.

According to their calculations, the man surnamed Chang must have been here two five hundred to three thousand years ago, and he brought with him a large number of Middle-earth Taoist ideas and texts, and in exchange, the high priest here taught him ancient Qiang witchcraft and allowed him to successfully get out of the birthplace of this first generation of mythology.

After that, the person with the surname Chang began to try to combine this witchcraft with Taoist thought, and gradually gave Taoism the most primitive prototype: Taoism at this time had its own theoretical system and corresponding cultivation methods.

But because the patriarch here, that is, the king of the tribe, had fled, there were still some higher witchcraft in the hands of the king that were not passed on, until many years later, a genius of Tianzong arrived in Qifeng Mountain.

The migrated tribes found that it was impossible to accomplish rebirth and immortality by witchcraft alone, so a disciple of the rudimentary form of Taoism used the Five Elements of Yin and Yang and the Eight Trigrams to help them fulfill this wish, and should have obtained a more advanced witchcraft method, thus creating the real "Book of Wishes" that is now in front of their eyes.

There are seventy two words in a line, and the things contained in it seem to Paul that the whole world has, and the translated words alone may require Cha Wenbin to decipher it all his life!
