Chapter 010: Mysterious Witch God
The mysterious cult of the witch gods
The white shell was fascinated, and Houtian didn't mind his reasoning being discovered by others. An urging broke the silence of the two people.
"Brother, go to Fushan Tower for a banquet! Governor Li sent someone to pick you up-" This was Baizhu's voice, and the tail note was deliberately dragged for a long time, showing that the young man was full of neutrality.
"Oh!" Bai Shell patted his head, and finally remembered what was going on. "I came here specially to call you to go with me, in order to pick up the wind and wash the dust of the ancient style and a large number of old-timers who came from Qingcheng and Kuaijun. They came this morning and have been at my place for a day. At this time, Bai Shell came back to his senses and said the purpose of coming to him.
Houtian agreed to go, and went downstairs without changing his clothes, he also knew that his sleeves were stained with ink, but he had always been so reckless, and he didn't care about being unbearable.
Houtian, knowing that the four famous doctors of Gu, Yue, Hua, and Guihai are here. He could tell from the address of the patient who sent it. It's clearly the handwriting of seven or eight people. The handwriting of the three white shell brothers, thick heaven is clear in their hearts, other people's fonts, some use small letters, some directly use wild grass, with the pen is old and spicy, through the back of the paper, without decades of medical experience, it is difficult to write such a calligraphy effect. Anyone who wants to be able to have a free clinic with the imperial doctor, and deal with a once-in-a-millennium event like Bingzhou, is the only one nearby.
This is not a thick heavenly divination, but reasoning.
Houtian still sat in the carriage without saying a word. In fact, there is no need to send a carriage to come, because the post house is only a quarter of an hour's walk from Fushan Tower, and the carriage is mainly prepared for four famous doctors.
The meal was simple, not because the food was not hearty, but because there were only eight people in the room. Houtian, Baike, Li Hetian, Master, Gufeng, Yue Qin, Gui Hongliang, Hua Mingdun.
According to the relationship between master and servant, the master should not sit and eat with the young master Li Hetian, and the master was just standing aside at the last banquet, serving wine and saying some polite words. But today's banquet was not paid attention to by others, and it was also served. Because the master is like the young master's teacher, the six people present did not feel that there was anything inappropriate. Today's main seat is still Houtian sitting, and Houtian can't shirk it. It should be the old man of Gu Feng to be the honorable position, because he is the eldest of the eight people, he is already eighty years old, but he is still full of energy, full of red light, and he looks like a Dao bone fairy wind with a skillful face, and he envies the master who is a few years old. But Gu Feng himself let Houtian sit, and the other three famous doctors also pulled Houtian to sit.
In the seriousness of these medical students, they value the teacher-student relationship very much. Because divination and medicine are the same as the witch god religion, in the religion, the status of the diviner is much higher than that of the doctor. Divination is related to the fortune of the country, and the great doctor who diagnoses the pulse of the rise and fall is not worth mentioning compared to the doctor who comes to see people. Treating people is like a by-product.
Tonight's pavilion looked deserted, because Governor Li had covered all the floors where he was going to entertain distinguished guests. Maybe he had something to say for fear of being heard by outsiders.
The flickering candlelight can't block the moonlight entering the house, and tonight is exactly the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. The atmosphere of the banquet was a little dull at first, and after Li Hetian finished toasting, after three rounds of wine. Everyone began to talk about the free clinic in the past few days. Bai Ke first asked the old man Gu Feng about his opinion on the strange disease in Bingzhou, because Gu Feng was known for his strange tricks to cure strange diseases, and he could find the cause of any strange disease. The method of curing the disease is also strange. What rice worm feces, rusted iron filings, old cow saliva and the like, blame but the curative effect is very good.
Now the old man of the ancient style has a more ruddy complexion, he said that he has not seen this strange disease in 60 years of medical practice, the impact on adults is smaller, but it is not good for the fetus, the usual miscarriage is caused by the mother's lack of blood and gas, kidney deficiency, blood heat, today I prescribe are some conventional wants, the kidney tonic kidney, the blood tonic blood is not a special method.
An ordinary sentence passed by in anyone's ears, but it shocked the white shell and made him suspicious.
What shocked the white shell was not the pathology of the disease, but the old man's sentence "The impact on adults is less" When he gave the pulse to adults with deformed children, it had no effect at all. Practitioners speak with their own professional habits, and the language description should be precise, "less impactful" and "no impact at all", which will affect the amount of medicine prescribed and the compatible medicinal materials when prescribing. So for this problem, the white shell is particularly concerned. A few more questions.
At this time, before Gu Feng could open his mouth, the drunk Hua Mingdun interjected. After all, he is the most authoritative in this area, and what he is best at is "hope". But Hua Mingdun sees a doctor, just by looking with your eyes, you know if you are not sick, but what kind of disease you have. There is no time for inaccuracy. Therefore, Hua Mingdun is also known as "the sick man at a glance" in Kuaijun.
"Bai Xian's nephew, you haven't accumulated experience yet, when you see 10,000 patients, whether it is the pulse or the face, as long as you take the other party's hand, you will know whether he is sick or not, you see so many patients who come today, whether they are men, women or children, in addition to their own symptoms, there is also a common disease, dry and yellowish, cold and cold, shortness of breath and lazy speech, this is a typical hypothermia. It's just that this hasn't happened yet, what is a good medical skill, a good medical skill is that when the disease is still latent, it was cured by the doctor, this is called a good medical skill, Governor Li, I think you should send someone to prepare more medicinal materials in the pharmacy to replenish the qi and strengthen the kidneys and yang. ”
The four doctors all nodded drunkenly. It seems that it is true.
Regarding the treatment of deformed children, Bai Shell expressed his thoughts. This time, these four famous doctors should be surprised. The amputation method is used to remove the extra arms and legs from the children's bodies so that they look like normal people, although there is no medical record of whether ancestors have tried to do this, but this method originated from soldiers on the battlefield who had severed limbs and palms. They are still able to live normal lives.
It's a bold idea, but it's worth trying. ”
For this method, a large number of predecessors first expressed their attitude. But they are not good at this, and can only help with anesthesia powder or acupuncture to stop bleeding. Those who really use knives also look for military doctors who have experience on the battlefield.
This incident did not make it difficult for Bai Shell, because the doctors in Bingzhou were best at this job.
Houtian still drinks and eats at the banquet and listens to others. He didn't say a word, and he didn't tell anyone else what he had discovered. Of course, the white shell will not ask boring questions.
Late at night, Li Hetian watched the four famous doctors go away behind the door of the restaurant, and although Houtian and Baike couldn't go straight, they still insisted on walking back by themselves and sobering up.
But during this period, the two of them didn't say a word, and they lived up to the beautiful scenery of this good day and went back to their rooms.
As soon as Hou Tian entered the room, he closed the door and immediately took off his drunken state. He is a calm and cautious person, how can he let his guard down in front of outsiders.
"Outsiders" who are outsiders, all people. Although he regards White Shell as a friend, White Shell is also human.
He was taught in the Witch God Cult to get rid of the seven emotions and six desires of mortals, we just live in mortal bodies, we can't be contaminated with people's bad habits, sooner or later we will return to our homeland, and we can't defile the holiness of our homeland.
Wicanism, a mystical religion. And they worshipped him, feared him, and feared him. Even the king has to bend his noble knees before the master. People are so humble, they just want the wind and rain to be smooth all year round. The witch god is able to attract wind and rain and control the changes in everything, but he prefers not to interfere, because nature has its laws, and you will survive the fittest and fend for yourself.
If it is the belief of a country, it is not worth writing about, but if it is a belief that is jointly practiced by the six countries! What if it was believed by people thousands of years ago, when there were only 29 tribes and more than 1 million people in Xiniuhezhou? It may be that ignorance has created superstition, but there is conclusive evidence that the witch god really exists.
It was a time when there were only people and no tribes. If you bump into a tiger today, then you are the food of the tiger for a day.
Until one day, it rained rainingly, and the torrential rain was mixed with deafening thunder and lightning that turned obliquely. At that time, some human beings hid in caves, and they had no home but to be exposed to wind and rain. Suddenly, a ball of rolling thunder scurried around, stopped in a mountain forest, and suddenly ignited a fierce fire, the torrential rain failed to extinguish the flames, but like adding fuel to the fire, the fire burned more and more, and the human beings in the mountain forest fled out of the cave to the direction of no fire, but this mountain fire was like having eyes, where people ran, the fire burned, until the human beings were encircled in the fire, the brave people rushed into the sea of fire, wanted to break out, but don't burn alive, the timid knelt on the ground, buried their heads deep in their legs as if praying, in fact, it was not daring to be the death that was coming。
In an instant, a dazzling light appeared in the sky, shooting straight down, and the humans enveloped in it did not dare to break open their eyes.
But I didn't feel the rain or the fire. When they felt the light softer, they opened their eyes and saw that the fire had been extinguished, leaving some unburned stumps and dark scorched earth, and the rain fell on them gently. Suddenly, he found that there was an extra group of people among them, these five people were unharmed, but they were wearing dark clothes, emitting a light like stars. They were holding strange things in their hands, some long and some short with different shapes, and there were some beasts lying on their stomachs, all of which were found in Xiniu Hezhou, but they didn't look like them if they looked closely. It is said that it looks like a lion but its fangs are frighteningly long, and it is said that it looks like a snake, but it has the paws of a tiger, which is very strange.
At a time when humanity is imagining who brought down the rain and frost, it is their presence that explains the existence of God. So people began to worship them and make offerings to them. They were all on their knees when they saw them. Give them their best caves to live in, and give them the best food to eat. But they were all rejected by the gods. The gods came to a hill, and a house appeared out of thin air. Practical and unpretentious.
From then on, people began to imitate the life of the gods, began to build houses to live like gods, and began to keep domestic animals in captivity. At this time, mankind began to take its first steps towards a civilized life. No matter how far away people are to witness the existence of God, they will come from thousands of miles to make a pilgrimage. But no one is seen in the gods. And they were told in a language they could understand that they were forbidden to step on the mountain. Every day, there are immortal beasts guarding at the mountain pass, some people dare to take a step forward, the beasts will roar and shout back them, if someone plays tricks, the light ones are disabled, and the heavy ones are eaten.
But people still want the gods to protect them, so they use wood and clay to sculpt the appearance of the gods and worship them at home. Every year, at the foot of that mountain, bow down. People no longer hurt the creatures on that mountain, and the people who live at the foot of the mountain don't have firewood at home, so they don't cut down the trees on that mountain. Gradually, gradually, that mountain became the most majestic peak in Xiniuhezhou, the trees are green, straight and straight, there is a tendency to rush into the sky, and the halfway of the peak has soaring clouds and mist all year round, which cannot be dispersed. The two divine beasts that once guarded the mountain path are still lying there, and the dust of time has turned them into stone statues. If you dare, take half a step at the foot of the mountain, and your ears will seem to be able to hear the roar of a tiger and a dragon from the stone statue. This mountain is the Liuxian Mountain that stands at the intersection of Shacheng, Yiyun and Guhuai.
The people of Nishishishigaju imitated what the gods were holding in their hands, made weapons, and grabbed their own territory through blood ties and war. Finally, the prototype of the twenty-nine tribes of Xiniu Hezhou was formed.
The gods saw the birth, old age, sickness and death in the world, and intrigued. So he went down the mountain for the last time and told the twenty-nine tribes to select the two smartest people among the various tribes, go up the mountain with him to practice, and pass civilization on to them. The person who came was young, dressed in black clothes, and from time to time exuded a star-like light, but the humans on the ground had changed one stubble after another, and they had never seen a real immortal, but they just felt like it.
The young man saw that they were a little hesitant, so he waved his palm, and with the dance of his palm, the sky suddenly became full of black clouds, and the ground suddenly became a violent wind, and it did not stop for a long time.
It turns out that immortals can really stay young forever.
In order to learn more about the skills of the gods, the tribes would rather choose the smartest than the closest in the selection of talents.
A total of fifty-eight people, men, women, and children, each tribe thought differently, perhaps thinking that the child had a good memory and was younger and more promising, or perhaps the tribe felt that the old man was wiser and more experienced, and could draw inferences from others.
Five years later, only twenty-nine returned to their tribes, and the remaining twenty-nine remained in the mountains. The twenty-nine people who descended the mountain were soon entrusted with important tasks, serving as doctors, soothsayers, and the head of the witch temple, and the country's rituals and meditations were presided over by this person. He is the representative of the gods in the tribe. But when people and even tribal leaders asked him about his life in the mountains, he didn't say a word, as if he had forgotten.
He also said that every ten years he would send two of the wisest men to the mountains to practice.
In this way, the mortality rate of the tribe decreased, and they learned to cultivate the land. At the same time, it also brought territorial expansion, and years of war. The endless war lasted for more than a hundred years, and finally ended with the six-nation situation. But no matter how tense and embarrassed a country is, it will never forget that every ten years, it will send two of the smartest people in the tribe to the mountains to practice.
It's just that now the number of people sent by each country is different. Huwan accounted for eight tribes and sent 16 people, Yiyun accounted for nine tribes and sent 18 people, two tribes in Shacheng sent 4 people, Guhuai accounted for 6 tribes and sent 12 people, and Sangshu accounted for 4 tribes and sent 8 people. Sometimes this is part of the overall national strength.
But those who send out cultivators should not be able to come back. Because it has been many years, none of the people sent have returned, and so far there are people in various countries who have gone to the witch god cult to practice, either a soothsayer born to a saint or an old man who is about to die.
As for Yiyun Kingdom, there are only Houtian and his father.
None of the stories in this series are told by Houtian, but written in this way on the murals of each witch temple. Rather, it's a lullaby for parents to put their little ones to sleep.
Houtian, today I went to the west outside the city again to check the direction of yin and yang. He walked towards the compass pointer, the place where the yang energy was heaviest. It was the graveyard of that animal, the crater. Seeing this five-foot high steep wall, round, towering, huge, and the mouth of the cave was heavily foggy, he suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu in this scene. I definitely didn't see it recently, because the day after tomorrow is also a rare genius, how can I not remember it!
Yes, he had seen it in the temple of the Witch God Cult and practice, but he couldn't do anything else. The rest of the mural was not in the slightest. One problem always implicates another. Why did I see this place in the Cult of the Witch God fifteen years ago? Perhaps, the gods really predicted what was happening in Bingzhou today.
Houtian does not deny the existence of gods, because to deny the gods is to deny himself. I thought he could vaguely feel the existence of spiritual power, although it was very weak, and sometimes it was even nothing. But there is always divine power, his divination, ten divination.
The first batch of people who went to Liuxian Mountain to practice, after coming down, handed over the medical skills, divination, and agricultural skills they learned from the mountains to the people in the tribe, and the people in the tribe could learn everything except divination, so there were very few diviners in each country, and only the bloodline of the holy daughter of the Wushen Sect could take on it.
Houtian walked out of his faint pride and began to think about how to make the two qi of yin and yang communicate with each other. Heal the sick in the city.
When I returned to the room, I received the patient's address sent by the white shell, and began to check the distribution between them. Sure enough, the closer a pregnant woman is to a meteorite, the more likely it is to give birth to a deformed baby.
Lying on the bed after drinking, according to the old man of the ancient style, this meteorite is not only harmful to the fetus of pregnant women, but also to adults. This meteorite is really hurtful. However, it is not this stone that bothers Houtian, but the method of removing the stone or balancing the two qi of yin and yang. About the doctrine of divination yin and yang feng shui, not many people understand, their own knowledge is also learned from the witch god sect, when sent to be a baby waiting to be fed, when you go down the mountain is a child, the time of serious study is only a short three years, and then follow the father to learn. can only divinate good fortune and evil, like changing the wind and water, and really has no ability to move mountains and seas.
Maybe my father would?
