Chapter 81: Ghost and Witch Thaumaturgy [Ask for Recommendation]
The sun was still shining brightly, shining golden light from the blue sky, covering every inch of the earth.
But even though it is under the bright sun, the Bashu ghost village area is a gathering of yin qi, far darker than the ordinary place, and there is a faint layer of cold fog, enveloping the whole village.
The gate of the village is made of a huge wooden structure, two load-bearing main pillars, as thick as five people hugging, the column depicts countless strange patterns, ghosts, gods and demons, and even the content of the underworld and the yang world is all-encompassing, showing the strangeness of the Bashu ghosts and witches.
Fang Di walked to the outside of the gate of the wall, and was immediately stopped by several guarding Shu warriors.
They have a common characteristic, that is, they are all thin and thin, with a pale complexion, and a kind of femininity that lacks blood.
The costumes of several people are also special, all of them are made of a kind of vegetation around the waist, and after being rendered black, the skirts depicting ghost patterns are full of weird, absurd and terrifying national characteristics.
Among them, the first one is about 30 years old, with sharp eyebrows, raised cheekbones, and a strange pattern tattooed on the center of the eyebrows, which looks like a strange-shaped doorway.
This person's pupils had a trace of abnormal blackness, looked Fang Di up and down, and said in an unkind tone: "You are not from my clan, where did you come from?"
Fang Di said calmly: "People who travel to the party, passing by here, see that there is an extraordinary qi in the village, and just want to take a look!"
Fang Di's words implied praise, but the leader did not appreciate it, his eyes sparkled, and he said coldly:
"We don't admit outsiders here, except for those who practice witchcraft, and only those who come to exchange for goods are allowed to enter. You don't have the same two, leave immediately!"
Fang Di said: "How can you be regarded as a sorcerer who cultivates ghost arts. ”
One of the Shu warriors said proudly: "I worship the ghost king in my heart, and those who can be spiritually connected, that is, those who practice ghost arts, if they can summon and enslave ghosts, they can be called ghosts and witches, and we will welcome them in." ”
Another warrior chimed in and mocked, "There is another person who can depict the totem of the Ghost King, and we revere him as the Witch King." Seeing that you are full of qi and blood, you are definitely not a cultivator of ghosts and witches. If you don't leave, hehe, you won't be allowed to leave if you want to. ”
Fang Di said unmoved: "How do you define whether the thing that summons slavery is a ghost thing?"
"This is simple, all ghost things, the yin qi must be heavy, you can know it at first sight!" several people replied in unison.
Fang Di thought that if according to this standard, the Necromantic in the Underworld must be regarded as a ghost, so he didn't know if the undead of an alien entity like a mummy would also belong to the list of ghosts in their opinion.
The thought in his mind turned, and he said, "You have seen it, I have indeed practiced the art of ghosts and witches. ”
Several people of the Shu tribe suddenly condensed, and the leader said gloomily: "If you dare to lie in front of my ghost king village, you will be punished, you need to tear off a piece of human skin on your back, engrave the ghost totem, and then stick it back on your back, so that you can carry the ghost day by day, and you will be tired, and every night, the little ghost will suck your flesh and blood, so that you will be punished for life, and the pain is unspeakable." ”
Fang Di was not afraid, but was curious, and was moved by the strange ghost and witchcraft he said.
The ghost village guard said: "Since you have practiced the art of ghosts and witches, then let me ask you, there are two major levels of ghost and witchcraft are innate and acquired, and they are divided into two major directions of summoning yin ghosts with totems, enslaving them as servants, and carving ghost totem sacrifices on their bodies, gathering the power of the yin in the world, and practicing their own bodies, which one are you good at?"
When the words fell, he laughed, stared at Fang Di, and said in a playful voice: "Or are you a genius who cultivates the art of ghosts and witches, you can cultivate your own body, and you can enslave the yin spirit imp?"
Several other Shu warriors laughed in unison, their faces showed disdain, and at the same time they looked at Fang Di, and suddenly a person stepped forward, and on the totem of a fierce ghost face on his shoulder, the strange force flowed, and the yin qi around his body grew, and he opened his mouth to spew out a cold and faint breath, rolling towards Fang Di.
This is exactly a witch and ghost art, the breath it spits out, cold and invisible, but if it is invaded, the vitality in the human body will weaken day by day, becoming weak and sickly, it is really a trick that is difficult to prevent.
Unexpectedly, the breath came and was wiped by Fang Di's hand as an understatement, and it dispersed silently, without any waves.
The faces of these people suddenly changed in unison, and they were taken aback and felt surprised.
Fang Di said: "Whether I have cultivated the magic of ghosts and witches, you will know at first sight!"
As he spoke, the black air around him roared, like a portal opening and closing, and a black shadow appeared lightly, it was a dead spirit in the underworld, full of death, and extremely pure.
The Shu warriors were even more surprised, just because of the methods shown by Fang Di, several people had never seen and heard of them, and they were all stunned, and one of them was greatly frustrated, and he snorted: "Your ghost has manifested during the day, and the yin qi has not weakened at all, what kind of yin ghost is it?"
Fang Di thought in his heart that this is a foreign ghost of the ancient Egyptian species, but you don't understand it, so you don't have to waste your tongue.
He made an unfathomable look on his face, and said lightly: "I can enter the village now!"
Those few people glanced at each other, the color coefficient of the previous contempt and mockery disappeared, and the leader was also intimidated by Fang Di's mysterious and unpredictable methods, and his attitude changed, and said, "Then please enter the village!"
The scene in the village opened the eyes of Fang Di who walked in for the first time.
It is like an ancient city, with a radius of more than ten miles inside, and characters of various ethnic groups such as Ba, Shu, and Youchao live in it.
The buildings are mostly wooden, with different images, and the most special thing is that there are naturally houses built on big trees, and the houses on the trees are like giant nests, which are the residences built by the remnants of the Youchao clan of the ancient strong clan.
There are also many wooden palaces, which can be as high as three floors, and each floor is several zhang. The entire hall is depicted with countless patterns, with secret power and yin energy.
The ghost village is densely populated, and the number of people is not below 10,000, showing a prosperous scene that is rare in this era.
Before Fang Di came in, he didn't expect that the ghost village of this era and the ghost city of Fengdu in later generations would be so prosperous.
On both sides of the rammed, solid stone-like dirt streets, you can occasionally see a few people playing tricks on ghosts and witches, and all kinds of strange and secret arts are endless.
The streets are also lined with stalls of all kinds, most of which are in the form of bartering and trading.
Fang Di summoned the guards at the gate of the fortress that the guards had never seen before, which made several guards despise them, and the leader of the guards personally accompanied Fang Di into the village at this time, he seemed to be obsessed with the other party's dead spirit, and wanted to find an opportunity to inquire.
His name is Wupan, according to his own introduction, he is the strongest of the acquired ghosts and witches in the village, and is expected to break into the realm of congenital ghosts and ghosts in the future.
At this time, this Wupan saw Fang Di looking left and right at all kinds of strange items along the street, and took the initiative to say:
"If you want something, you can say it, and I'm willing to give it to the Great Witch, in exchange, can you give me a Yin Spirit that I summoned earlier. ”
Fang Di didn't come here without a purpose, it was because he thought of ghosts and witchcraft, and he had something in common with his own book of death.
Fang Di wanted to see if he could refer to some of the essences in the art of ghosts and witches, so as to play an auxiliary role in his own cultivation.
When he heard Wupan's words, he replied bluntly: "I want to see the cultivation of ghosts and witches here. ”
Wupan was stunned and said: "It's not impossible, but the cultivation method of each clan is a secret that is not transmitted, it depends on what level of cultivation method you want to see, if it is the highest ghost king totem visualization technique, then there is no reason to show you at will." ”
Fang Di's eyes flashed and said, "Ghost King Totem!"
There was an awe-inspiring look on Wupan's face, and he said: "The true face totem of the ghost king is a secret that is not passed down by our clan. It is the cultivation method left behind when the ghost king came to the world in ancient times, and it contains the mystery of the heavens!"
He sighed again: "It's a pity that the real ghost king's true face totem has disappeared inexplicably in the process of inheritance, and the ghost king map that our clan currently has is a jade plate rubbing that has been preserved from the ancient inheritance." Every time you contemplate the true face of the ghost king's totem, you can increase your cultivation. ”
Fang Di thought about it when he heard this, how come the legends of immortals and demons in each civilization are strikingly similar, almost all the supreme cultivation methods that have been passed down are derived from the gods and demons of the 'lower mortals'!
He asked, "What other ways to practice?"
Wu Pan gushed endlessly: "There are also many different levels of ghost and god visualization totems, and there are also cultivation techniques such as the depiction of witchcraft totems. ”
Fang Di secretly thought that he couldn't chew too much, among these cultivation techniques, the most matching with the witchcraft and death spells I practiced should be the method of depicting the ghost and witch totem, so he said: "I want to see the method of ghost and witch totem depiction, how to get it?"
Wupan said: "The method of ghost and witch totem depiction is to use spiritual power to connect some kind of unfathomable qi between heaven and earth, and integrate it into the ghost totem depicted, and use it to form a map, gather the yin qi between heaven and earth, or use it to detain the yin ghost to be born, or absorb the yin power into the body and temper one's body. ”
He continued: "This cultivation technique is not hidden, you just need to look at the pattern on the totem pole of the hundred ghosts in front of you." Of course, if you really have a harvest, you will need to pay the price for my ghost village!"
Fang Di looked in the direction of his finger, and his eyes lit up in an instant.
