Chapter 3 Ancient Diviners
As night fell, the Yao tribe began to fall silent, with the occasional cry of children and the clashing of furniture. In order to coax the children, the adults lied to them, saying, "If you cry any more, the beasts and demons will come down from the mountain and eat people." The crying child immediately fell silent and stared out the door.
However, no one who stayed in the tribe all the year round had ever seen evil spirits, nor had anyone seen strange birds or beasts. Only when they entered the hunting team in the woods of the back mountain did they encounter some ordinary birds and beasts, and the deeper they went, the more ferocious the beasts they saw, and even some strange creatures that they had never heard of or seen. Therefore, the people of the tribe, the experience summed up over tens of thousands of years tells them that the depths are a Jedi - there is no return.
As for the strange creatures such as evil spirits and evil spirits, basically ordinary people do not have the ability to see them. Only the wizard who opens the Eye of Heaven and obtains the inheritance can see it. Generally speaking, after death, the remnants of the soul wander between heaven and earth, and the sorcerer summons the deceased with his mana, communicates with him, and knows his obsession.
There are no absolutes in everything, and in the human world, there are some wise people who have opened the eye of heaven, but they do not have the power of wizards. As a tribe inherited from ancient humans, the Yao tribe has a great advantage over the clans of various kingdoms outside in terms of recording and inheritance. This is also why in the Yao tribe with a population of more than 10,000 people, there are more than a dozen wizards, hundreds of wise men, and most of the adults can fight ordinary fierce beasts. There are even great warriors, who once fought tigers with their bare hands and killed them with one punch, and there are good shooters who shoot wolves hundreds of meters away.
Luo Zhen found that Yaoluo was not afraid of these rumors, and every time he talked about them, his eyes lit up, and he was curious to ask Luo Zhen to take him to see what was going on. In the end, the old man was afraid of the child, so he simply stared, walked aside, and didn't care anymore.
The light of the burning fire was faint, and the dark corners of the room were dark. Luo Zhen was taking the two pieces of copper he found today, squinting his eyes, and said to himself: "It's not much different from the current one, but the texture is much more complicated, and it is worthy of the artifacts of ancient times." ”
Yaoluo looked up at his grandfather, wondering why he was so fascinated tonight.
"Grandpa, what is this? How is it the same as the two wooden blocks used by the wizards in the tribe?" asked Yaoluo.
"That's a good thing, it's been tens of thousands of years. Luo Zhen looked at the flickering light of the fire and said that he himself was once again trapped in those distant times.
In ancient times, human beings and weak creatures united to expand their territory, and finally had their own domain and homeland. However, it is often attacked by birds and beasts, ruthlessly destroyed by natural disasters, and the entry of evil spirits and evil spirits into the body and devouring the soul of human beings. Under the long-term tribulation, the ancestors of mankind visited the vicious land, collected the qi of heaven and earth, and under the guidance of Our Lady of Secret, a sorcerer appeared. They prophesy the future for mankind, foresee dangers, and drive away evil spirits and evil spirits.
Our Lady and the Twelve Patriarchs saw the emergence of sorcerers with the power of prophets and war ghosts and gods in human beings, so they meditated, crossed the mountains and mountains, collected the heart of the auspicious dragon tree, carved ten pairs of diviners, soaked in the cold spring of Cattelan, burned in the depths of endless flames, after a hundred years, the ten pieces of utensils turned into copper, light and hard.
These ten artifacts were given to the human wizards who were famous throughout the continent at that time.
Later, due to perennial divination, two pairs were torn into powder by heaven. When the Virgin Mary returned to heaven, the human sorcerer divined the cause and effect, peeping at the damage of the invisible. In the other five pairs, in that great chaos, the sorcerer disobeyed the way of heaven and earth and forcibly divined the fortune to seek the loss of profit. There are only two pieces left, and they are on the run, and they don't know where to go.
Some wise people said that the sorcerer used this thing to divinate privately, which violated the harmony of heaven.
It wasn't until a thousand years after humans fled Cattelan that a stunningly brilliant wise man appeared in the Yao tribe, Karn. This man has lived in seclusion in the mountains for hundreds of years, not only has he fashioned himself as a warrior, but he is also rumored to have the power of a wizard, but he has never cast a spell. When his life was approaching, he returned to the Yao tribe and set up a platform to burn incense, and sandpaper covered the sky and the sun, and no one knew what he was doing. I only remember that half of the sky was covered with dark clouds, half of the sky was full of sunshine, and the roar of fierce beasts came from the deep mountains.
After this, he became a different person, and stayed in his house all day, not seeing the world. A few years later, he ran out of life and died quietly. When the tribesmen of the tribe cleaned up his relics, there was nothing. Only on the walls of his room, I found repeated writings: colorful lights, ancient artifacts, and the road of the dead soul...... You can't see it, you can't say it.
Yaoluo, who was sitting on Luo Chen's lap, listened with relish, listened to his grandfather stop, looked up again, and asked, "That old guy Karn is so grinding, what can't you say, you can't die." And then?"
"Later, then it was thunder tonight, when the thunder hits, the world is the quietest, you kid can sleep peacefully. Luo Zhen stood up, carried Yaoluo in one hand, and threw it on the bed.
"Grandpa, continue tomorrow night, I still want to hear it. Yaoluo poked her head out, watched the old man walk out of the room, and said.
The old man did not seem to hear and went out. Yaoluo knew that his grandfather had gone to the ancestral hall in the compartment again, and he had such a habit in recent years.
In the ancestral hall, three oil juice lamps are unusually bright, and these oil juices placed in iron cans are collected from the back mountains of the tribe. Luo Zhen added some oil to it, wiped the spirit position, and lit a few more incense sticks.
At this time, it was already late at night, and the whole tribe was even quieter, and the occasional dog barking startled some sleeping birds to fly away from the tribe with their wings flapping.
Luo Zhen trembled and picked up the pair of divination instruments in his hand and walked around the main hall of the ancestral hall. "Is that good or bad?" he thought to himself, but quickly shook his head again. He shook his head and walked a few steps, then looked at the pair of copper-colored divination devices in his hand, and then seemed to sneak a glance at the ancestral hall.
After hesitating for a while, Luo Zhen seemed to have made up his mind and sighed heavily,
He sat cross-legged, carefully holding up the pair of objects.
Solemnly recited: "The night has come in, the thunder is calling, I soothe the heroic souls of my ancestors, and I pray for the well-being of the world."
Tonight, you are with me, tonight, the Word of heaven and earth, forgive my blinded eyes, tonight I renew the spirit of the ancients, like the Virgin, weeping for love and bravery.
With the eyes of a wizard and the soul of a living being, please make it clear what path the human soul takes?"
After speaking, Luo Zhen closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to swing the divination device in a strange trajectory, and in front of his whole person, a faint white mist suddenly rose and was entangled with the incense mist.
Faintly, a flash of colorful light was seen, and then in the white mist, the vast barren rocky land, the dense and dark woods, the endless ocean, the flaming volcanoes, and the treacherous wetlands were revealed. In these dangerous places, I saw strange creatures of different sizes, wandering creatures, evil spirits, etc., surging from the night.
Beads of sweat dripped from Luo Zhen's face, and his whole body began to tremble. He knew that these sights had given him a glimpse of the heavens, but they were not enough. He is insisting, this is a good opportunity, and the next time he divination, it will not have such a good effect.
He gritted his teeth and continued to dance the pair of diviners. In the middle of the copper-colored diviner, the milky white gas is becoming more and more substantial. With a "poof", dark red blood spat out of Luo Zhen's mouth. But his man was still sitting quietly, his eyes still closed.
And at this time, a cold voice, anti-Buddha came from hell, resounded in his mind: "The dead soul does not take the road of the world, but stays in the world of demons and demons, the heavens determine the people, who determines the heavens?
After a long time, Luo Zhen slowly woke up, and at this time, he was still immersed in the voice, unable to come back to his senses for a while. Why don't the souls of the dead take the road of the world? Who will take the road of the world? Luo Zhen couldn't understand the truth for a while.
Could it have something to do with the fragments recorded in the hides?
Luo Zhen suddenly remembered the moldy tribal historical book, and couldn't help but ponder. He packed up the pair of ancient divination instruments, looked up at the rows of spiritual positions, and turned to walk towards the room.
