Chapter 53: Totem Deities
"It's really uncomfortable to go to sea! It's no wonder that so many people are reluctant to go there in person, knowing that going to sea is lucrative. The young man who stayed in the cabin, smelling the unacceptable smell in the air, raised his hand to stop his past maid, his current fiancΓ©e from lighting incense, shook his head and said: "You light incense now, it will only make the smell more uncomfortable, you go out first, let me be quiet alone, okay?" β
"Yes!" The woman meekly left the separate cabin.
As the descendant of a small family in Cangyan City, even if he loses, he still has certain privileges, and with the deterrence of the steward, the young man and his party also have a few small separate rooms.
After the woman left, the young man began to communicate with Yuan Qingwei again: "Yazhou, known as Haijiao in ancient times, takes four or five days to sail from Cangyan City, and it is the southernmost place within the Central Plains, and it is also the two most commonly used penal places in the imperial courts of all dynasties. Among them, there are more than a dozen different ethnic groups, each with its own corresponding faith totem, good at driving insects and beasts, and witchcraft......
Yuan Qingwei listened to the young man's explanation, and had to say that these people in the family still know a lot of secrets. At least a small half of what he is talking about now is the content that Yuan Qing has not explored with great effort.
After the boy told him about what he knew, Yuan Qingwei asked, "What do you want this time?" β
'My body is still too weak, is there anything you can do to strengthen my constitution?' It's best if I can also have some self-preservation. β
Of course, you can do it, but you should know my rules. After Yuan Qingwei finished speaking, he concretized the two-point contract again.
Looking at the content of the two-point contract, one is that Yuan Qingwei directly taught him a technique, and the other is that Yuan Qingwei specifically instructed him to practice. The former has a fixed price, and after removing the value of the information just now, there is very little that needs to be repaid in the future. The latter, according to the schedule requirements, has significantly more to repay.
The boy looked at it and chose the latter without hesitation.
'Wise choice. Watching the other party sign the contract, Yuan Qingwei began to instruct the other party to practice the most basic meditation exercises on the ship.
Three days later, the boy and his party arrived at Yazhou.
"Young master, are we going to the Alai tribe or are we going to ......" The steward looked at the young man and asked.
As soon as he heard this, the young man sneered: "The people of the Alai tribe are the most cunning, and they have a close relationship with my good brother, if I really go there, it can be said that I have fallen into the net!" Anyway, we have prepared some weapons this time, and we can set up our own doors outside. It's just that when the time comes, you still need Uncle Liu to help you get a few people to stand up. β
When the steward heard this, he immediately thought about the other party, but he was not very optimistic about his thoughts, so he was ready to persuade one or two: "The young master has the heart to rise up, it is naturally good, but it is just ......"
"Just what?"
"Yazhou is not as good as the Central Plains, there are Gu insects and ghosts in it, if there is no god protection, it will only be difficult to move an inch in Yazhou."
"I know this, but you don't have to worry." The young man smiled when he heard this, he imagined it, and took out a jade pendant from his arms and said, "Uncle Liu, you are not an outsider, I will tell you a secret." β
Watching the young man take out a jade pendant from his arms, he felt the mysterious qi condensed on it, and the steward was also a person who had seen the world, and immediately knew that this thing was a token of a certain god or monk. Immediately overjoyed: "In this way, it is naturally possible." β
Yuan Qingwei, who was hidden in the shadows, looked at the sudden surge of qi on the top of the young man, as well as the gray qi that was entangled, quite interesting, and turned his head to look in another direction. In his heart, he whispered, 'It's almost time to expand your authority.' β
In the days that followed, as Yuan Qingwei guessed, the local tribes showed obvious exclusion of outsiders who were unwilling to integrate into their own system. And those people in the Central Plains, who have long taken root here, also show a certain degree of hostility towards the group of teenagers who want to be independent.
However, with Yuan Qingwei's help behind him, the problems that can be solved by the ghosts and gods bred by just one or two tribes of hundreds of people naturally cannot threaten the young man and his party.
Even Yuan Qingwei even took action several times at the request of the young man to solve several tribal totem spirits who came to trouble them.
These primitive tribal totem gods, most of which have been sacrificed to some animals and plants, have obtained all kinds of magical powers, not only have the incomplete authority of the incense and fire will, but also can provide some materials with divinity.
For example, the god of great power who recently fought with Yuan Qingwei was a wild boar god, and after being defeated in the hands of Yuan Qingwei, his incomplete power of the earth was sent into the Nine Heavens Golden Ribbon by Yuan Qingwei through divine power, and became the god of Yuan Qingwei. At the same time, its pair of fangs, which had been washed by the divine power of the earth for more than 100 years, also became the trophies of Yuan Qingwei, and they were piled up in the Qingwei Palace.
Sure enough, although these totem gods were incorrect in their sacrificial methods and did not have a method to unify the power of incense, most of the condensed authority was broken. But there are some unique features in terms of geography, if I can wipe out all the totem gods in this place, I should be able to get a god position similar to the lord of Yazhou, and control all the mountains and rivers of Yazhou, and the power of all spirits. Even the humanitarian system can be greatly complemented. Yuan Qingwei returned to the Qingwei Palace, looking at the few lines that appeared under the treasure seal, which was really a concrete representation of the power of the earth controlled by several totem gods.
Originally, it was just a few mixed lines, but with the increase of the totem gods defeated by Yuan Qingwei, the authority integrated into it increased, and the surrounding terrain was gradually outlined, so that Yuan Qingwei's original strength made some great progress.
However, to put it bluntly, Yazhou is the edge of the Central Plains, even if the area is not small, it is almost the nature of an island, and it is only a golden deity that has complete authority, and if you want to go further and condense the green will, you can't add a humanitarian system. Or do you need to find a way to condense the authority of the netherworld or the ocean, in which the netherworld is blocked by the will of heaven and earth, and it is impossible to forge a self-contained spiritual realm, let alone establish a yin? So, in the end, we have to start with the ocean...... Yuan Qingwei thought, just thinking about how to incorporate the authority of the surrounding ocean into the seal, or let the boy push himself into the position of the sea god.
However, this kind of thing is not in a hurry, Yazhou is an island, among which there are many tribes that worship the god of the sea, and now there is no conflict with the young man, also because the two sides are far away and there is no direct conflict of interest.
When the young man and his party were completely settled and ready to expand outward, a dispute between the two sides would inevitably arise. At the same time, when the materials brought by the young man and his party from the mainland are consumed to a certain extent, they will definitely try to establish a port.
At that time, it would be much more convenient to push the boat down the river by yourself.
