Chapter 45 Departure, Xiangxi
From northern Xinjiang to Inner Mongolia to the northeast, they are almost connected, and they are all shamanic territories. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shamanism is not a formal religion, just a general term, different ethnic groups, have different shamanic cultures, just like Taoism is not a formal religious organization, it is also a general term, like Maoshan Sect, Longhu Mountain, Laoshan Mountain, Pure Soul Sect, Quanzhen Sect, all of which are considered Taoist organizations.
The same is true for shamans, in the northern Xinjiang area, where it is already the territory of shamanism, and the part of the Gu masters who fled to northern Xinjiang naturally can't say openly and arrogantly in other people's territory: "I'm here to preach......
In order for their Gu skills to be accepted, these Gu masters absorbed and adopted some of the characteristics of shamanism, and then fused the two, and finally were accepted by the people of Northern Xinjiang.
In this case, the Gu art in Northern Xinjiang has gradually lost its original characteristics, but it has been fused by the shaman, and later the Gu art has fewer ingredients, and there are more elements of dancing gods, psychic, and inviting spirits, and naturally it has become a member of many shamans.
Hunan Province is different, the climate of this place is hot and humid, poisonous insects and beasts are the majority, there is a perennial miasma, deep mountains and dense forests, the traffic is extremely inconvenient, the people who live here are all primitive indigenous people, the Han Empire called it "barbarian land", itself has a kind of discrimination.
In this kind of place, there is no religion at all, so when those refugees escaped, they immediately chose a good place, and then became self-reliant here, so Gu magic quickly spread here, and villages were constantly established.
It can be said that the arrival of Gu art has promoted the development of Xiang Province to a certain extent, especially in Xiangxi, which is even more famous, and the famous corpse chasers are actually from that part of the refugees, although they do not have the most authentic witchcraft, but there are people who are good at chasing corpses, and corpse chasing techniques have taken root here.
In fact, the corpse expulsion technique is a relatively out-of-the-way technique, and no one wants to be a corpse chaser unless it is absolutely necessary, not only has a low social status, but also has a low income, and has to risk the corpse transformation, and accidentally even take a small life.
The reason why the corpse expulsion technique can be passed down may be more because of the need for inheritance, and many people are forced.
The Jiuli people are obviously not interested in the art of driving out corpses, although the geographical location of Sichuan Province is not very convenient, but Shudu is accessible in all directions, even if the relatives die in other places, as long as the corpse is transported back to Shudu, and then transported back to the clan from Shudu, in fact, there is no need to waste much trouble.
In Xiang Province, maybe the corpse expulsion technique is secret, only the corpse chaser family will, but in Jiuli, the corpse expulsion technique is public, you can learn if you want, the clansmen died outside, just pick a few people, go to Shu to drive their corpses back.
On the other hand, the Jiuli people have always liked to live in seclusion, and they will not run out blindly if they have nothing to do, so naturally they don't need to chase away corpses, what they care about is the prayers and spells in witchcraft, this is a broad and profound technique, and in their eyes, the corpse chasing technique is just a side trick.
Most of this information comes from "The Secret Biography of Xuanmen Gu Technique", this book is very thick, it contains a lot of things, it is worthy of being the true legend of Gu art, and people in later generations, even if they are ordinary people, after reading this book, I am afraid they will also learn some Gu arts.
There is also a part, which is naturally told by Wan Qianxi and Huang Yatou, although their identities are different, but the content described is similar.
I took the earliest train in Shashi, this train is directly to Phoenix City, although the geographical location of Phoenix City is remote, but the reputation is very high, here still retains the appearance of the ancient city, although it has been repaired many times, has integrated many modern things, but can still vaguely see the style of the ancient city.
In short, in Zhongzhou, Phoenix City is also a popular tourist city, especially those literary and artistic young people and couples in love, who regard Phoenix City as a holy place, and they must come in this life.
It's December, which is a low season, but even so, there are still many tourists visiting Phoenix.
Among these tourists, they are either middle-aged and elderly, or young college students, and they are the only ones who have such time to travel.
After getting on the train, Ling Xian's brows couldn't help frowning, this train is very old, I don't know how many years it has been running, the carriage is tattered, and there is a mixed smell, I don't know what it came from, the crew on the train is also older, and the whole train feels very uncomfortable, which makes Ling Xian, who has just come down from the high-speed rail, very unaccustomed.
If you are not used to it, but there is no way, you already knew that it was okay to take the bus, after they found their seats, the five of them sat down, Wan Qianxi and Huang Yatou sat on the left side of the carriage, and Ling Xian, Mi Min and Gao Miaoling sat on the right side.
Opposite Ling Xian and them, there were two young girls sitting, looking at their dress, speech and demeanor, needless to say, they must be college students from a certain university.
Ling Xian glanced at it slightly, and quickly withdrew his gaze, these two female college students were both good-looking, and one of them seemed to be a little familiar, but he didn't think much about it.
As soon as they got on the train, the passengers would inevitably look at each other, and the same was true of the two female students, who secretly looked at Ling Xian and the three of them, and after a while, only one of them said loudly; "Brother, it's really you!"
Ling Xian was stunned for a moment, looked back, confirmed that the female student opposite was talking to him, and said inexplicably: "Classmate, did you recognize the wrong person?" I'm not your brother. ”
Ling Xian's brows furrowed, thinking to himself where did this relative come out, why didn't he remember that he had a sister?
The female student said excitedly: "It's you, do you remember me?" I'm Wu Lijuan! A year ago in the summer, when I was still in my third year of high school, you took the bus, and you called me off the bus and told me that the car was a ghost car, don't you remember? ”
"And you guessed my name and helped me test the words, and then I forgot to take the book, and you also stayed at the bus stop and returned the book to me."
Ling Xian was stunned, and finally remembered her, no wonder she looked a little familiar, wasn't this that Wu Lijuan?
At that time, he helped the Chen family choose a yin house, and he hadn't bought a car yet, so he ran to the bus stop, and saw a No. 7 bus coming, and after Wu Lijuan got into the car, he found that the car had committed a seven-evil yang game, so he deceived Wu Lijuan.
Thinking of this, Ling Xian showed a smile and said with emotion: "I didn't expect time to pass so quickly, Lijuan, I remember that you were still in your third year of high school at that time, and now you are admitted to college?" It's changed so much that I almost didn't recognize it. ”
Wu Lijuan smiled and said: "Yes, I was admitted to Shazhou Normal University, and now I am a sophomore in Shashi, brother, it's great to see you here, you have also changed a lot, you have become very mature, and your hair is still dyed gray......"
Shazhou Normal University, Ling Xian has also heard of it, is a key university, and its reputation is no less than that of Fengzhou University, and it is indeed very good that Wu Lijuan can be admitted there.
