Chapter 767: The Origin of Witchcraft

Historically, Taoists have focused on spiritual practice.

The practice of Taoism is actually borrowed from the previous witchcraft shamans.

Witchcraft is the practice of influencing or exercising control over certain people or things with the help of supernatural and mysterious powers.

'SΓ©ances' and 'spells' constitute the main content of witchcraft.

In ancient times, the female name of the caster was the witch, and the name of the man was the witch.

Ritual performances of witchcraft often take the form of symbolic songs and dances, and use certain objects and incantations that are believed to be endowed with witchcraft magic.

A specific person with natural abilities has been cultivated to become an ability to manipulate anything, mainly qi and blood, spiritual wisdom, forethought, soul dementoring, spirit medium, and sichen.

Qi and Blood: It is a white witchcraft that can make an injured person recover as quickly as possible for a period of time.

Ning Xiaobing and Balloon No. 2 immediately checked the description of witchcraft and related information in their minds.

The more they watched, the more frightened they became.

Linghui: In ancient times, the combination of strength and wisdom could dictate the fate of others, and Linghui was the great sorcerer, whose wisdom was supreme and could call the wind and rain to force his own people to sacrifice to their gods at the cost of their lives.

There is a major leadership position in the clan.

Next is forethinking: take the most handsome man or woman of the tribe as an example, and train them to have a hunch, so that they can easily observe the heavens, govern the place well, and make acquaintances with each other.

In the later period, it was transformed into Taoist thought: "People send the earth, the earth sends the heavens, and the heavens are all many." ”

Seeing this, Ning Xiaobing couldn't help but sigh, "It turns out that Taoism comes from witchcraft!" It seems that witchcraft is not as bad and evil as it is in the movie! ”

Balloon Two sneered and said, "Keep watching!" ”

The system screen in their minds continues to feed them with information.

There is also a dementor: similar to the current priests and Taoist priests, but he is good at the art of red death, the art of bringing people back to life, and the magic of immortality.

Don't look them in the eye, it's as powerful as Candle Jiuyin.

There are also mediums: those who marry the dead and the living. Special sympathy for the dead, but regardless of the life of the living.

When Ning Xiaobing saw this, he realized that the origin of secret marriages in some parts of my country is indeed very evil when I think about it now!

Sichen: That's homosexuality.

But those beautiful boys are very short-lived, and I heard that they are all detached from nature. Surreal.

They can imagine whatever they want, and it will become a reality!

When Ning Xiaobing saw this, he glanced back at Balloon No. 2 in a little surprise.

Balloon Two said, "Look at a ball?" Your earthly stuff is weird, but is this imagination a kind of ecstasy? ”

They thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't guess what the hell this so-called Sichen was.

And what kind of folding witchcraft in the back.

Folding witchcraft comes from the Shundi tribe, and legend has it that when Emperor Shun was in order to produce salt for the common people and meet the lives of the people. Shun let one of his sons go to Wuxian to become a chieftain, and Xian is good at boiling brine for salt, so he got his name.

The people of Wu Xianguo the green snake with their right hand. The left hand is the red dragon, located in the great wilderness, it is called the ten witches with Wu Ji, Wu Pan, Wu Peng, Wu Gu, Wu Zhen, Wu Li, Wu Di, Wu Xie, and Wu Luo.

Wuxian country is in the south of Anyi city, there is a salt pond legend, the salt water is inherited, the water comes out of the southeast thin mountain, the northwest flows, through the north of Wuxian Mountain. Wuxian Mountain is in the south of Anyi County.

The history of Luyan in Yuncheng, Shanxi Province has existed in ancient times.

Legend has it that Shun's son became the chief of the kingdom of Wuxian. Led the country of Wuxian to produce salt. Because the local Wuxian people have mastered the technology of making salt from brine clay. They steamed the brine to make the salt out. Becoming a crystal, outsiders think it is "transformation".

In addition, in the process of salt making, the Wuxian people held various sacrificial activities, hoping that the south wind would bring them a good climate, so as to facilitate salt precipitation.

Their sacrifices are performed in various ways. And with various words of vows and prayers.

Finally, the process begins until the white crystalline salt is produced.

This whole process, in other tribes, is seen as a kind of magic. As a result, people called this kind of magic that turns soil into salt "witchcraft". This is where the term "witchcraft" comes from.

Nowadays, people know that "witchcraft" is to "change magic", in fact, witchcraft first refers to the salt making technology of the Wuxian people.

This salt-making technique is called "witchcraft", in fact, it is "the art of witch salt-making".

This is how today's wizards get their name.

German sociologist Max. Weber believed that witchcraft was a pre-animistic belief that originated in the unwritten period.

The next thing they saw was information on witch hunting in foreign countries.

From the twelfth century to the fourteenth century, it was at its peak. At that time, Christianity had been introduced for some time and had become the mainstream religion in Lotus Island, so in order to consolidate its own power and end the policy of tolerating paganism, it began to have an exclusive policy, that is, witch hunting.

Ning Xiaobing felt that foreign witchcraft at that time had been abandoned by mainstream society.

From the perspective of the nature of witchcraft, witchcraft can be divided into black witchcraft and white witchcraft.

Black witchcraft refers to the witchcraft used when blaming someone else.

White witchcraft is the witchcraft used when praying for good fortune, so it is also called auspicious witchcraft.

From the perspective of the means of performing witchcraft, witchcraft can be divided into two categories, one is imitation witchcraft, and the other is contact witchcraft.

A form of sorcery that uses similar things as a substitute for good fortune or disaster.

If you hate someone, you will take the form of a human and write the date of birth of that person, or burn them with fire, throw them into water, or slash them with a needle or a bayonet, so that they will die.

By nature, this is black witchcraft.

Another example is that children often fall into the well, in order to avoid disasters, often make a puppet instead of children into the well, this behavior is called disaster breaking.

In ancient production customs, rice flowers began, and men and women met in the field to promote rice earing.

If a person has sores, he can draw them on plant leaves or yellow paper to remove the disease, which is also called imitation witchcraft.

For example, the Baiyun Temple tied dolls, folk "stealing melons" and other prayer customs.

Ning Xiaobing said: "Damn! There are a lot of them, as well as resistance to witchcraft and Gu Dao witchcraft! ”

Defiance is a type of witchcraft that can reflect or resist the opponent's attack on oneself, and it can also be called defensive magic.

The most common is the use of amulets.

However, in Western sorcery, orthodox defensive magic requires drawing circles around the body with a short dagger in the magic array, which is a relatively simple process.

When Ning Xiaobing saw this, he guessed that there was more to the real resistance to witchcraft, and there were some things that were not on the information, because the information on it was just published.

Most of them were not published.

Gu Dao witchcraft is the Gu art of the Miao people, which is also a kind of witchcraft.

There is also the head lowering of the demon country, etc., which is also a branch of this kind of witchcraft.

Ning Xiaobing touched his chin and said, "I always think it's a fucking modern Taoism!" It's just that he has changed his name to a nice one, and foreign countries have indeed been surrounded by Christianity, and there are not many believers left. ”

They looked all the way down and saw that all the stone walls were all qigong cultivators.

However, some of the sources say that the prayers and practices and so on do not appear at all.

Ning Xiaobing said: "In fact, the basis of witchcraft is the cultivation of the true qi in the body, which is very helpful to the human body, which is equivalent to our internal strength. ”

They came around a corner, and suddenly a chill came over them.

Confused, they continued to walk in, and saw a huge pool inside.

Ning Xiaobing squatted down and touched it and said, "This water is so cold!" Shouldn't it be a 10,000-year-old cold pool?! (To be continued.) )
