029, Jiuli style (above)

The clansmen all gathered around, showing very envious and eager expressions. It was also an opportunity to raise grass and raise grass, so he gathered the elders together and distributed them to each household on the spot, announcing that it was a gift from the distinguished guests, and set aside half of it to be stored in the village warehouse. In this way, this favor is very indebted!

Taiyi has always had a bit of an opinion about Hou Gang, thinking that he is spending too much money and materials, but he has no objection at the moment. Now they really have to listen to Hou Gang's orders on the scene, and on the other hand, they also have people who ask for help. These things were specially brought by them from Ba Yuan, and they prepared a lot, which was useless to themselves, but they were of great help to the people of this place.

When Huwa cleaned up the courtyard and the house, Hou Gang and the others came back, and then people kept knocking on the door. The people of the grass village are very simple, and they feel very embarrassed to get the benefits of the guests, and they have brought their best things to thank them, some people directly put the things outside the courtyard gate and left, and some people will knock on the door to say hello.

The words of receiving the villagers and accepting things are, of course, also handled by the "servant" of Huwa. When many villagers saw him, they said, "You are the child who wants to learn witchcraft, don't worry, we will definitely help you speak and ask the witches to agree!"

At the same time, Hua Cub remained in the patriarch's house, discussing things with several important people. The eldest elder in the village, who was over 100 years old, sat in the middle and said, "Since I can remember, the village has never been to anyone outside Jiuli. Will they be spies in the Northlands? Want to find out the inside story of my Gu Li Division, and also covet the witchcraft of my Gu Li Division?"

Yang Caoyu smiled bitterly: "Are there such generous spies as them? Now the emperor Danzhu is a Chinese angel and is about to inspect the Jiuli tribes." Our village is here, and that's the case. Anyone who can see it can see it, and it doesn't matter if you probe or not. As for Jiuli's secrets, ordinary clansmen don't know about it, and no one will tell them. ”

Yang Cao Yarrow asked again: "That child named Tiger Baby wants to learn witchcraft, will we agree?"

Hua Cub hurriedly interjected: "There's nothing wrong with this, it's a good thing! With the blessing of the Gu God, we can master the power of witchcraft." He wanted to practice the witchcraft of Jiuli. It is necessary to participate in our rituals and follow our rituals, and whether or not we can obtain the power of witchcraft does not depend on us, but on the Gu gods.

I've already told him. If you want to obtain the blessing of the Gu God and succeed, you can't have the slightest hesitation about the belief in the Gu God. Wouldn't it be a good thing if the nobles from the land of China were willing to worship our Gu God?

If the Gu God is willing to bless him. Do we still want to oppose the will of the Gu God? If he sincerely believes in the Gu God and has mastered the witchcraft. Is it necessary for us to object? Whether we succeed or not, we have already received so many gifts from others, and this favor is always to be helped. ”

Yang Caoyu nodded and said, "That's right, I don't think they have any malicious intentions, that Lord Hougang is the son of a powerful person who came to visit the mountains and rivers with his guards, and there is a child among them who is interested in witchcraft." We can agree to the request, but whether it will succeed or not depends on the child himself, and I think the possibility of success is too small!

Recently, because of the emperor's son Dan Zhunan's tour of Jiuli. Rumors spread in various ministries, and the Great Witch Gong also specially told me to wait. It is necessary to pay attention to all kinds of movements in Guli Village. I'll tell the Great Witch Duke about this situation, if they are really malicious, there will be the Great Witch Princess's and the gods of all ministries to deal with, and there will be even more Gu gods!"

They didn't know that Taiyi had just entered this room, and when he left, he left an inconspicuous leaf in front of the door, through which they could clearly understand the situation discussed by the patriarch's family. Huwa got Taiyi's relay, and just smiled slightly.

Huwa and others lived in the grass village, they really came to travel, on weekdays around to enjoy the scenery, tour the mountains and rivers, collect and taste all kinds of specialties in southern Xinjiang. There are occasional dangers in the mountains, such as poisonous insects and beasts, but they are all taken care of. To deal with these small situations, it is enough to cultivate with the trumbling, and this little demon has fulfilled his duties as a guard very well.

Hua cub is the guide, taking them out to play every day, very enthusiastic to introduce the situation of the villages of the Guli tribe, and also lead them to visit the nearby villages. It didn't take long for Hou Gang and the others to become the most popular guests in the villages of the Gu Li Department in the vicinity.

Because every time they go to a village, Hou Gang and others will give a lot of gifts to the local villagers, and they will also receive a lot of return gifts from the villagers. Sometimes, when they arrived at a village far away from the grass farming village and could not make it back on the same day, they stayed overnight in the local area, and each time they were warmly welcomed and entertained.

Although the tiger baby is deaf and clear-sighted, she has no magical power for the time being, but fortunately, she has Taiyi by her side. There is no need to deliberately inquire about the situation, with Taiyi's cultivation, as long as the Yuan Shen is unfolded, he can catch the whispers of the villagers in the entire village. A lot of valuable information can be obtained by compiling and organizing the few words you occasionally hear.

Huwa learned more and more about the various recent situations of the Jiuli tribes, especially the Guli tribesmen, especially their belief in the Gu God, the relationship with the Gu God, and so on. Many clansmen will participate in the festival every year, and occasionally talk about it on weekdays, and the more the tiger baby listens, the more curious it becomes.

It seems that the Gu god here, like the mountain god in Huwa's hometown, is not just an illusory god worship or spiritual sustenance, but a real existence.

The clansmen of Fei Li and most of the Gu Li tribes once dedicated the treasures they collected every year to the Gu God at the festival, and those things would really disappear, and finally the Gu God would give them some more precious artifacts, some of which were rebuilt or restored from the fragments collected by the clansmen.

These signs indicate that the Gu God should be real, but the clansmen do not know his true identity and face, and only worship him as a god. This is very similar to the situation in Huwa's hometown, where people don't know the identity of Li Qingshui, anyway, the mountain god is the mountain god.

Even more interesting could be a different scenario. For example, Taiyi is the god worshiped by the Shenmu people in the Western Wilderness, but the villagers of the Shenmu tribe don't know that Taiyi is actually the Mr. Qing who lives in the village. So is there a possibility. That Gu God also lives among the Jiuli people, but the villagers here don't know about it?

If there really is such a Gu God, why should he "bless" it in such a cruel way. He not only gave the tribesmen a kind of spiritual sustenance and ethereal hope to resist hardships and dangers, but also brought them to this remote and dangerous place. Is he a god who has been around for hundreds of years, or did he only appear after the Jiuli tribes migrated here?

There are no answers to these, and the Jiuli people will not delve into their myths and legends, but they have become questions that Huwa wants to understand.

Hua Cub seems to be particularly concerned about the fact that the tiger baby wants to learn witchcraft, perhaps to thank them for helping him get the treasure from Thor and keep this secret, and also for them to give so many gifts to the villages of the Gu Li Division. Hua cub introduced the various situations in which the people of the Jiuli tribes worshiped the witch god and practiced witchcraft. It is said that in addition to the content of the secret method that is forbidden to be spread in the tribe, almost everything that can be said has been said.

There are many secret methods that are forbidden to be spread by the Jiuli Tribes, such as the formulas and refining methods of various Gu medicines. The ancestors of the past generations have explored all kinds of miraculous means in practice. Hua Cub did not tell Huwa the specific cultivation secret method, but tried his best to introduce the general situation, including the various feelings and gains of the clansmen in the cultivation of the past generations, as well as the various mysterious realms displayed.

When the tiger baby first entered the grass cultivation village, she had already discovered that the witch lord here was good at cultivating spiritual plants. And the Wu Gong of the Gu Li Department is better at refining all kinds of elixirs. They all claim to be passed down by the Gu God, if you go back further, I am afraid that the earliest is taught by Emperor Shennong.

Collecting plants and trees and other materials to refine them, supplemented by various methods to treat diseases, seems to people to be magical, as if they have the power bestowed by the gods. In the primitive tribes, witches are doctors, and they seem to be able to control people's life and death, and the mysteries of life.

Almost all the witches in Jiuli can refine medicine, and they will also use witchcraft to cure diseases on weekdays. As for whether there is an effect or not, and how the effect comes about, that's another matter. The Gu Li Department is the best at this.

Most of the Wugong of Qili are better at refining weapons. Not only can you make all kinds of living utensils, but you can also make tools for war. The legendary Jiuli ancestor Chiyou copper-headed iron body, breathing fire in his mouth, and devouring gold and stone, actually symbolizes that people have learned to mine and smelt ores, and can make various metal utensils, which is of course extremely magical in the eyes of ordinary people at that time.

The Qili Department inherited the skills of its ancestors and was the best at it, so it was also particularly valued by the emperor Danzhu. Forming an alliance with the Jiuli tribes, Danzhu's primary target was the Qili tribe.

As for the witches of the Shanli Division, they are good at driving poisonous insects and beasts, using the secret method of cultivating and feeding essence blood, which can be connected with the mind and spirit, and finally with the help of the unique secret method of refining the form god, and can also obtain the supernatural abilities of various insects and beasts.

In Huwa's view, this kind of secret method is similar to the form swallowing technique, and it is not the form swallowing method created by Emperor Shaohao Tiandi, but it is very similar in thinking, but it is only a "technique" to pursue supernatural powers, and the cultivation process is also extremely dangerous, and the slightest carelessness will be counterattacked.

Emperor Shaohao should have also seen the Jiuli Secret Method back then, and on this basis, he revised it and combined it with his perception of the origin of the Great Dao, so as to create the Swallowing Technique. Whether this is really the case, Tiger Baby doesn't know, but she just thinks it's possible.

The secret technique that Fei Li is good at is similar to that of the Mountain Li Department, which is also to drive poisonous insects and beasts, and has a secret method of cultivating blood and feeding, which can be connected with the mind and spirit. However, their thinking is different, they prefer to directly cultivate powerful insect beasts, and regard them as their own natal Gu worms or natal Gu beasts, as their cultivation becomes higher and higher, the natal Gu worms or Gu beasts will become more and more powerful.

But the cultivation process of this kind of secret art is even more dangerous. It is already very difficult to cultivate suitable insects and beasts, and it is necessary to pay attention to the secret method of cultivating mind control at all times to prevent insects and beasts from attacking their masters. If the cultivation is very successful, those insects and beasts are like their own doppelgangers, and they can be driven to do all kinds of things.

But there are gains and losses in everything, and the growth of those natal Gu worms or Gu beasts must consume the essence blood and life force of the Gu refiner, and it is even equivalent to some form of life sharing, which will inevitably hurt the Gu refiner himself. This requires the witches to cultivate the method of cultivating the form and gods, and they also need to use the secret elixir in the clan to make up for the consumption.

If the Natal Insect Beast is accidentally injured or killed, the Gu Refiner himself will also be severely injured, or even die as a result. It has been hundreds of years since the people of various tribes moved here, and the witch princes of the past dynasties have cultivated many natal Gu worms and Gu beasts. The life span of these insects and beasts is often shorter than that of humans, which also affects the longevity of those witches themselves.

But there are also some particularly powerful insects and beasts, quite spiritual, and have even opened their spiritual intelligence, and Shouyuan is much longer than ordinary people. When Wu Gong's life comes to an end, he will bury the ignorant natal insects and beasts, lest they lose their restraint and leave them in trouble.

But those spiritual natal insect beasts, the owner has cultivated them with essence blood for a lifetime, and he can't bear to destroy them before he dies, and for those particularly powerful insect beasts, it is difficult to kill them easily.

Therefore, before some witches died, they would let these natal insects and beasts cultivate on their own, and made a mental contract with them, telling them not to harm the Jiuli people, and to protect and help the Jiuli village as much as possible when there was an invasion by foreign enemies. This contract is two-sided, and the tribesmen of Jiuli can also swear in the name of the witch god not to harm or offend these powerful insects and beasts that have been freed.

Such insect beasts are called god generals. (To be continued.) )
