(v. 181) Shaman
"Good at crossing the vicissitudes, my Buddha is immeasurable. Good at crossing the vicissitudes, my Buddha, immeasurable?" Ling Muyu looked at the words on the old paper and muttered.
These eight characters are hidden in the belly of the wood carving, but whether it is the words of the scholar or the words of the wood carving, they are obscure and difficult to understand, and they do not know their understanding.
And Ling Muyu didn't have the heart to think about these things at this time, he solemnly and carefully collected the sawdust scattered everywhere that was broken by himself, wrapped it with the old paper stained with blood, and put it in his arms.
Ling Muyu looked around, but he had already lost his way, he looked at the moon in the sky through the dense forest, and said with some self-deprecation: "How long have I been running here?" "The sense of loss is beyond words. He didn't think about how to go back, and after looking at the starry sky and discerning the direction, he walked forward.
"Big brother, although I also want to be with you a lot, I just want to give up, whether it's as your friend, or a healer, or a Wudang Shenjizi. I can't do it. Ling Muyu suddenly knew such bad news before, and he couldn't accept it for a while, and lost his mind, but now, he temporarily discarded those sorrows, and between his eyebrows, only calmness and firmness remained.
"Regarding the matter of this 'Hundred Ghosts and Five Immortals Gu', it was said by Senior Brother Baili Tassel, this Gu has no cure, and the conclusion that there is no way to explain it is also what he said. Although I was indeed helpless after checking before, after all, I was only casually chatting with the Baili Shaman before, and I didn't have a deep conversation about it. Ling Muyu thought in his heart: "He has been creating the Five Poisons Sect for hundreds of years, studying Yungui and other places for a hundred miles, and the techniques of the Han and Miao tribes have also been for a hundred years, so he won't be completely brainless." ”
Ling Muyu himself also understood that he might just take it for granted that he was just a fool's dream, but for now, he could only be so optimistic and hopeful.
"The most important thing at the moment is to specifically ask to see the Five Poisons Shaman on this matter, Senior Brother Baili is humble and should be willing to help me solve my doubts. Besides, it's all here, and it's time to go and meet the predecessors of the Five Poisons. Ling Muyu thought so, stepping on the bright moonlight, performing light skills, and running forward, not caring at all about the little strength that had been consumed in his body.
Baili's family was originally from the Central Plains, and according to legend, they were also the descendants of Baili Xi, the "Five Sheep Doctor" of Qin, who came to Yungui hundreds of years ago, and was amazed by the variety of medicinal materials and beautiful scenery here, so they settled here. The Baili family improved the law of the witch god in the early years into a medical Gu technique that can be recorded, learned, studied, and inherited
He helped the aborigines learn the written language, make money, confirm weights and measures, and teach them Chinese. They have been here for many, many years, intermarrying with the locals, but they have always maintained their father's surname, and maintained the habit of the Han people in the Central Plains to form a family centered on their father.
In the Five Poisons Sect, most of the families are formed with the mother as the center, and both the sect leader and the saint are served by women, but in terms of values, women are never inferior to men, and of course, men are not inferior to women. Unlike the selection of sect leaders and saints through martial arts, the five poison shamans are passed down from generation to generation, and they are only produced from the lineage of the Baili clan, and when the successor is not determined, the sect leader will be the master when the predecessor dies suddenly and unexpectedly, and the inheritance is selected from the descendants surnamed Baili, and this generation of the five poison shaman Baili tassel is like this.
A few years ago, the leader of the Ferris Alliance, Hong Defeat, had intended to cooperate with his subordinates to enter Yungui and other places, when the leader of the Wuyue Sword Sect Linghu Yusheng originally wanted to send disciples from the door to help the Five Poisons, but because it was located in southern Xinjiang and had little contact with the Central Plains, he was afraid of causing misunderstandings and causing trouble. As a result, under the unfathomable and almost terrifying martial arts of the Hung Defeated Heaven and the Heaven Alliance Sects, all the local sects and sects surrendered, with the exception of the Five Poisons Sect.
The head of the Five Poisons Sect and the Defeat Heaven agreed to fight to the death, and then everyone joined forces to use the power of the Five Poisons Great Array to severely damage the Defeat Heaven and the Seven Stars Demon Cloud Envoy, and the Ferris Alliance withdrew from Yungui and no longer got involved. But in this battle, the former Five Poisons Sect Leader Lan Wangji and Yun Xiu and Shen Minghe, among the three holy maidens, died, and the former shaman Baili Shaohua was also seriously injured and finally died. And Lan Xiyue, the only remaining of the three holy women, took over as the leader of the Five Poisons Sect, led the sect, and appointed Baili Tassel, the only son of Baili Shaohua, to take over as the Five Poisons Shaman and assist in management. Since then, the Five Poisons Sect has formed a mortal enmity with the Ferris Alliance, and it will never die.
The five poisons are good at using poison, and they have fought in the Ferris League, Ling Muyu once came to Yundian to inquire because of the investigation of the scattered rain, and the five poisonous shaman Baili tassel received him, although in the end he did not get any useful information about the scattered rain, but in those days, the two talked about the world, studied Wencai, talked about medical skills, and talked about each other, Ling Muyu was also able to meet the Five Poisons Sect Leader Lan Xiyue, after that, Baili Tassel once told Ling Muyu that when they took over the Five Poisons Sect Master, they made an oath:
"From then on, I gave up my self and took the Five Poisons Sect as my self; Abandon wealth and take the wealth of the people as wealth, and give up your life to protect all the people. As the leader of the sect, he teaches the martial arts of his clansmen, has no selfishness, manages the affairs of the sect, has no resentment, and beware of enemies and beasts, and never sleeps. Until the end of life, or the passing of the position of the head of the church to the saint, he will not relax. This oath is witnessed by the spirit of heaven and earth and the common testimony of all things. ”
After knowing this paragraph, Ling Muyu's reaction was to show deep respect for the Blue Sect Master who had only met once,
and a sentence to him about the hundred miles of tassels that told him about them: "For the disciples of Wudang, I am the same for the master, the rain is scattered, the Ferris League, these things, one day, I will investigate the water, and I will not die!"
With this fate, Ling Muyu's relationship with Baili Tassel and the Five Poisons Sect is not bad. Otherwise, something like the "Hundred Ghosts and Five Immortal Gu", Ling Muyu would not have thought of consulting the Five Poison Shaman.
At this moment, in front of the Bailu Gate of Jiuli Valley, one of the Five Poisons General Altar, one mountain and two valleys, Ling Muyu Long Sword was stationed, standing a little out of breath. Opposite it, there was also a person standing, with a delicate and handsome appearance, fair complexion, and elegant behavior, about three or four years older than Ling Muyu, it was the Five Poisons Sect Priest, a hundred miles of tassels.
"The subtle latent rides the wind, and the Tai Chi Xuan is as clear as a mirror. Ling Muyu said loudly, Baili Tassel smiled, and received: "There is no obstacle to the movement of Biluo, and there is no trace of the abyss in the silence." ”
"Wudang apprentice Ling Muyu. "The Five Poisons High Priest has a hundred miles of tassels. After the two finished speaking in turn, they looked at each other and smiled. Baili Tassel stepped forward and hugged Ling Muyu, his eyes were full of pleasure, and he said: "I received a report from the disciple guarding the mountain gate that there was a stupid-looking scholar who asked to see him, and he knew that it was you kid. ”
