Chapter 666: The Witch Cult

In the Han Dynasty, there have been "Twelve Gods Dance" and "Fang Xiang Dance" from the court to the people, but also in the folk rise of the witch trend, and gradually developed into the official and folk common song and dance sacrifices, the two Song Dynasty, the dance and the style of the court song and dance, drama and began to pay the gods to the nature of the wish, has no longer had the role of curing the disease and asking the ghost, just as a folk song and dance to develop!

Sichuan and Shu region in the Qin and Han dynasties belong to the Bashu country, the wind of good witches prevails, all indecisive things are asked ghosts and gods, there is a very strong sacrifice culture here, after the Huguang filling in Sichuan in the early years of the previous dynasty, the Wu Wu culture is mixed with the Lingnan, Jiangnan, two lakes and Jianghuai region of the sacrifice customs, become more strange and chaotic.

Every year, Jianghuai Nu opera, Huguang Nu festival, Lingnan Nu Shen, Sichuan Shu Nu opera, successively staged in various places, the people dress up and sing and dance, in order to ask for the blessing of the ancestors, get rid of the epidemic and get rid of ghosts, the Jialing River is full of the god-worshipping boat that picks up and drops off the Wu God.

Whenever night falls, the incense boat is brightly lit and reflects the statue of the god, stretching for dozens of miles, and it is even more mysterious and treacherous, and the light is bizarre.

The Cult of the Gods was born in such a soil where strange forces and gods are rampant, and witches are prevalent!

Thirty years ago, at the beginning of the establishment of the Nu God Sect, it was just a guild of the Nu dance halls in various places, just like the Liyuan Guild, which played the role of coordinating disputes, formulating rules and entertaining peers, and later, with the appearance of living corpses in Yinping, some rumors began to appear in Chuanuchi.

The ancestors of the Bashu Witch Kingdom are coming back!

"The ancestors of the Bashu Witch Kingdom?"

Everyone became curious, and Song Siyuan continued to ask: "Xianling, who are you referring to?" ”

The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and said slowly: "The ancestors of the Bashu Witch Kingdom and their soldiers! ”

As mentioned earlier, the Sichuan and Shu regions belonged to the Bashu Wu Kingdom in the Qin and Han dynasties, as early as the ancient period, the ancient Shu region has not yet formed a feudal state, just a few clans and tribes, these tribes have experienced silkworm cong, cypress irrigation, fish after several generations of rule, because of the help of King Wu, by the Western Zhou Dynasty monarch as the "pastoral oath of eight countries", co-rule Shu.

At the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Du Yu, the king of Shu, abolished other monarchs, established himself as the emperor, called Emperor Wang, educated the people, opened up the territory, and made the Shu State completely from the state of scattered countries to become a big country in the southwest region, and was called the Western Tushu State by the Central Plains Dynasty.

From the Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Shu experienced more than 20 generations of monarch rule, becoming a veritable country of abundance, later, King Qin Huiwen coveted the happy land of Bashu, sent generals to expedition to Bashu, Shu perished, the last monarch Du Lu died, the ancient Shu royal family either accepted the surrender of the marquis of Shu, or was directly given to death.

Before Du Lu's death, there was a fable, one day the Central Plains withered, and the ancestors of the Great Shu Witch Kingdom would be resurrected with the help of the people's bones, and once again lead the people of Shu to create the Shu Witch civilization.

It is precisely with this sentence that the Qin State will send the prince to Shu to serve as the Marquis of Shu, change the water vein of Jiangyan, and completely cut off the local atmosphere of the ancient Shu Kingdom.

For thousands of years after that, although Shu was easy to defend and difficult to attack, it became a country by itself, but it has never been able to produce a unified emperor, and only the secession regime is life and death, struggling.

Originally, this fable was only circulated as a myth by the people, until the living dead appeared from the Yinping Wild Mountain, and the local people remembered Du Lu's proverb before his death.

The witch industry was originally a strange force, smelling the breath of the resurrection of the living dead, so he deliberately deified this proverb, telling the people that these living dead can get up from the cemetery because they have been called by the heroic spirits of the Shu kings of the past dynasties, and if the time is right, they can lead the people to rebuild the Great Shu Witch Kingdom.

In the next 20 years, as there were more and more living dead, there were more and more people in Sichuan who believed in the Nu God Sect, and the people in the Wu God Sect had three religions and nine streams, and they also had some water healing techniques.

In the eyes of the people, it is a good person to be able to cure diseases, and it is a good person to be able to help the poor, so that the tablets of the Wu God Sect are about to be placed on the incense table, and these people of the Wu God Sect are mythical themselves, and directly shape the leader of the sect into the reincarnation of the heroic spirit of Du Yu, the king of Shu, so that the people are more convinced of the revival of the Great Shu Wu Kingdom.

I heard that when the trouble was the most fierce, some people gave up their families to join the Nu God Sect, and some people even sold their property and dedicated it to the Wu God Sect leader, just trying to get an official and a half position after the revival of the Great Shu Wu Kingdom.

At that time, it was the last years of the previous dynasty, the government was busy suppressing the Boxers, Bashu itself became an independent country and it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, the previous dynasty had no time to take care of what Wushenjiao, and only regarded them as the likes of the White Sect to suppress as usual, anyway, if they cheated money, they also cheated the people's money, as long as they didn't move the pockets of the government, let them mess around.

Later, the righteousness and fist of the Wushen Sect raged in the north, and the hearts of the people were also a little itchy.

When it comes to rebellion against the country, it is not a small fight by the folk gangs, and rebellion has always been a felony of killing the head, not to mention that this is not the "extermination of the foreigners" of the Boxers, but the "annihilation of the Northern Tartars", and the banner annoyed the royal family and the government.

Originally, the Boxer was enough to be busy in the previous dynasty, and the old queen mother took advantage of the juncture of Xijing to ask the governor of Sichuan and Chongqing and the governor of Shaanxi Province to jointly suppress the bandits, not only through the Qinling mountain road, but also all the way into Sichuan and Shu, and took off the head of the rebel leader.

At this time, the Nu God Cult finally stopped, from preaching in the open to preaching behind the scenes, and the forces also hid in the deep mountains and old forests, but the foundation of the belief of the Nu God Cult has not disappeared, they are still the saviors in the mouths of the people, and there are still ordinary people who are willing to cover for them.

Even if the Divine Cult has disappeared, the living dead have not stopped, and continue to wander in the wild mountains, whether the government has let the Taoist priests do it, or catch ghosts, and even the battalion soldiers have been used, it is always impossible to kill, and seeing the meaning of the corpse coming out of the Yin Pass again, the provincial governor asked for Bai Lao Dao here.

The three strategies given by the old Taoist priest are only a palliative treatment, and as for how to make the living dead disappear, it is still unknown.

After arriving in the Republic of China, Jiangyou Pass was completely closed and tight, no one wanted to cross the Yin Pass again, and the corpse could only wander near Yinping, and the Sichuan was still peaceful.

"Up to now, the Nu God Cult is still active, I heard that many Wu dance groups have the shadow of the Wu God Sect, although the Government Yuan has not supported the Wu God Cult over the years, but it has not found any signs of rebellion against them, so I have to turn a blind eye, as long as I don't do anything against the capital, I don't bother to deal with them!"
