Now the only people in the village who clearly know what is going on are the patriarch father and son. Casting the Divine Soul Spell is just an auxiliary means, and the tiger baby also has other arrangements, so that when everyone can track down the clues of Shao Jiachen's disappearance, they never thought that this would be related to Rushing Village. After all, the Divine Soul Spell is not omnipotent, and if someone finds a suspicious point, there are still masters who can find out the flaw.

What to do in Rushing Village, what can Tiger Baby and others help, it's all over at the moment. Huwa said again: "I don't need anything else from you, Patriarch of the Rushing Bar, I only have one request, which is to answer what I asked."

The spells I have seen you cast today are very characteristic and ingenious. The bone staff you took out of your bosom at that time was not a normal magic weapon, but it was able to use it to cast a spell, turning the earth into a mud stream and entangled the guard's feet, and easily cooperated with the villagers to deal with this person. Where did you learn this technique, and how did you get into the first realm to cultivate in the first place?"

Rushing Gang looked up in amazement, but asked a very surprised sentence: "May I ask you, what is the first realm? What I have exerted is the divine power given by the witch god." ”

Although this patriarch's mana is low, he has at least three realms and nine turns in terms of cultivation, and he turns the earth into a soft whirlpool with a snap of his fingers, which is not a simple magical power such as manipulating small stones to fly, but a very subtle control. But he didn't know what the primordial realm was, and it seemed that the various sects had different theories.

Huwa frowned slightly and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't know, it's not right for me to ask just now." You just need to tell me one by one, what is the origin of the witch god, how you obtained the divine power given by the witch god, whether you have cultivation on weekdays, what kind of method is used to cultivate, and what is it like when you cultivate and use this divine power?

The unique secret method of inheritance is usually the secret of the monk, and no one will easily say it. But here and now. The tiger baby can be said to have saved the lives of all the clansmen in Benliu Village, and the rushing bar has said in advance, and he must do his best to repay it, so he can't refuse Huwa's request.

With the vision of the tiger baby, of course, she will not covet the secret method cultivated by the rushing bar, if you change someone. may be of interest to its unique supernatural means, which is precisely not the purpose of the tiger baby. What Huwa is most concerned about is the beginning of the cultivation of each lineage, how did the rushing bar enter the path of cultivation in the first place, and what kind of path is this, and what is his understanding of cultivation?

There are too many mysteries, and the rushing bar himself is actually unclear, and there are many feelings that cannot be expressed in words, so he can only try to paraphrase it and rely on Huwa himself to understand.

The Rushing Bar is just the patriarch of a small village. And the more than 300 clansmen in Benliu Village are just an inconspicuous and remote branch of the Benli tribe. Not to mention other tribes, even many people in the Benli tribe have forgotten their existence. There are some totemic symbols for the Benli tribe, but there is no systematic writing, and the history of the clan relies on word of mouth.

All that the Rushing Gang knows is the content of the sacrificial songs that have been passed down from generation to generation.

The Benli Department is one of the Jiuli tribes, and Jiuli is the descendant of Chiyou. Legend has it that Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor captured Chiyou. Chains were deliberately made of maple wood to imprison its divine powers, so that it could not struggle and resist.

Chiyou is a god-like figure in legend. He can even fight with Xuanyuan alone, what kind of shackles can trap him? At least it must be a specially built artifact, and the so-called maple may also refer to "sealing wood". But that's what the rushing bar knows about in the sacrificial song.

Chi You broke free from the shackles, and even used the shackles as a weapon to kill the Quartet again, and was finally beheaded by Xuanyuan. It is said that before Chiyou was killed. Throw the weapon in Li Mountain. The so-called machine is the maple wood he held in his hand, and he threw it into a mountain named Li.

The maple tree took root and sprouted again into a towering maple tree. Later, a god cut open the maple tree, and a butterfly flew out of the heart of the tree. The butterfly laid twelve more eggs, the first egg hatched a person named Jiang Yang, and the other eggs hatched birds and beasts, demons and monsters.

Jiang Yang subdued the birds and beasts, defeated the demons and monsters, became the ultimate victor, and also became the ancestor and leader of the Jiuli Tribe, leading and guiding the people of all tribes to live and reproduce in the world, and teaching people to master all kinds of magical powers to overcome all kinds of hardships and challenges. Jiang Yang is a witch god.

The process of migrating to the south of the Jiuli tribes has been hundreds of years, and they have settled in various places for hundreds of years, each tribe has its own witch history, and the general context of various legends is the same, but many details are also different. For example, the Qili Department is different from the Benli Department, and the witch god they worship is not Jiang Yang, but Chiyou himself.

In the history of the witches known to the Rushing Stream, the legend is like this. The so-called myths are often the alienation of word of mouth, such as today's Ba Yuan, there are many myths about Ruoshan, and there are more myths about the tiger baby.

In Huwa's view, if there is really a shackle made of maple, it may also be an artifact, its material is special and the vitality and spirituality are not lost, or there is another magical use. But it also represents the unyielding spirit in the hearts of the Jiuli people.

In the Yanhuang dispute of that year, the Siyue Department and the Lieshan Department to which the last Yan Emperor belonged were all attached to Xuanyuan, and only the Jiuli Department led by Chi You rebelled again, and finally was convicted of emigrating, and the descendants of Chi You were of course unwilling. Myths carry both history and expectations, but after a long time, most descendants only know how to sing sacrificial songs.

The worship of the gods is also an important spiritual sustenance and historical memory, which can not only enhance the cohesion of the ethnic group in an extremely difficult environment, but also provide the inner spiritual power necessary for people.

If a person or a group loses its inner spiritual motivation and appeal, it is impossible for them to survive and survive despite hardships and dangers. So it has to be, and the only difference is which one is which, and the worship of the gods may not be the best way, but at least it is one of the ways.

The patriarch of the Benli tribe, also known as the Wu Gong, is not only the one who leads the tribe to preside over the sacrifice, but also guides the production and life of the tribe according to the will of the gods. The deity they worship is the witch god, and it can be said that the will of the witch god is the standard according to which all the actions of the people are based, and the witch lord is responsible for conveying and executing it.

The patriarch of the Benli tribe and the chief leader of all the sub-clans is called the Great Wugong, who is known as the god of communication. For some reason, about a hundred years ago, this situation was explicitly forbidden by the Chinese Emperor.

Rushing Bar didn't know what was going on for so long, but Hou Gang secretly explained the reason to Huwa, it was a matter of the time of Emperor Gaoyang. Emperor Gaoyang did not prohibit all the tribes in the world from believing in gods, in fact, he couldn't ban it if he wanted to, but he was extremely dissatisfied with the prevailing atmosphere of witchcraft. And those who practice witchcraft are the most prosperous in Jiuli.

The situation of the various tribes was mixed, and almost every small sub-tribe had its own history of witchcraft, made up its own myths and legends, and the leaders claimed to be able to communicate with the gods through sacrifices. And the will of the so-called gods has become an excuse to wage plundering wars abroad and collect all kinds of offerings and goods internally, and everything has lost its legal norms.

How do people in the world judge and discern the will of the gods? What should be a matter between the so-called gods and spirits has greatly interfered with secular life, and this situation can easily lead to estrangement and even antagonism between various tribes, which is not conducive to the stability of the world.

Emperor Zhuan ordered the rectification of the sacrificial matter, prohibiting the heads of the ministries from interfering in civil affairs in the name of the gods, and the ministries could worship the gods, but did not have the right to convey the will on behalf of the gods.

In other words, it doesn't matter what gods the tribes under the rule of the Son of Heaven believe, but no one can claim to be responsible for communicating with the gods, especially in the name of the gods, driving the tribesmen, looting goods for sacrifices, or waging wars and plundering abroad. If there is such a person again, Emperor Zhuan will kill one if he catches one.

Before Emperor Zhuan issued this order, the situation in many parts of the kingdom of China, especially the remote tribes, was quite chaotic and serious.

Many tribal leaders claimed to be able to communicate with the gods, and in the name of offering sacrifices to the gods, they built a large number of magnificent palaces, looted huge wealth, and consumed great manpower, material and financial resources, resulting in the tribal life is poor, the fields are barren, and the people are poor.

The chaotic witchcraft prevailed, as if the greater the sacrifice to the gods, the more devout and representative of the will of the gods, and also led to a great deal of tribal conflict and mutual raiding and plunder. The people of the various tribes have borne the heavy burden and even the calamity of the large-scale sacrifices, but in reality it is impossible to receive the blessings of the so-called gods.

And the decree of Emperor Zhuan is to solve this matter from the perspective of etiquette and law, and form a tradition. Worship and communication with the gods are only symbols of state affairs, and the affairs of mortals and ghosts and gods must not be confused, and no matter who believes in what gods, they have no right to represent the gods.

After the decree was issued, some tribes were instigated by the Great Witch Gong or the High Priest to oppose and even rebel, and finally they were suppressed by Emperor Zhuan, and the Jiuli tribes were the most severely suppressed and had the most fierce conflict with Emperor Zhuan.

Emperor Zhuan not only imposed edicts by suppressing the rebels, but also used many means of appeasement and tenderness, including in the treatment of the suppressed tribes.

With the foundation laid by Emperor Zhuan, in the era of Emperor Gao Xin and Emperor Yao of Tao Tang, the government decree was unimpeded, the burden of sacrifice was greatly reduced, and more manpower and material resources could be mobilized to reclaim the countryside, dredge rivers, and build roads, and the country of China reached an unprecedented strength.

Of course, the little Rushing Village Patriarch Gong Ye could not understand Chinese state affairs like Hou Gang, he only heard that such changes had taken place since about a hundred years ago, and Wu Gong was gradually just a private name within the clan. The great witches of the various ministries can no longer communicate with the gods, let alone directly order the clansmen in the name of the gods without passing the decrees of the city lord, the monarch, and the son of heaven.
