"Oh, what my Chu people worship is the fire god Zhu Rong and the nine song gods. ”

Hearing Mane Bear's answer, Ji Kao was suddenly slightly shocked: "Nine Song Gods, can Chu Jun elaborate?"

The fire god Zhu Rong said that after all, the ancestors of the Chu people were after the ancient fire master Zhu Rong, and it was strange not to worship the god of Zhu Rong.

But the name of the Nine Songs of the Gods is very interesting.

This is the second time Ji Kao has heard the name of the gods of the Nine Songs, the first time is not long after leaving Qishan, when he passed through the two countries, he heard it in Cheng Fang.

Although Cheng Fang was handed down by the nobles of the Xia Hou clan, only a sacrificial song to worship Hebo has been handed down.

"Nine Song Gods, this is what our Chu people have called it for generations, whether it was said before or not, we don't know. During this period, there are nine kinds of sacrificial music, which are called nine songs. ”

According to legend, when he was the queen of the Xia Hou clan, he went to heaven to feast with the gods, and obtained these nine kinds of sacrificial music, which were used to worship the gods of heaven and earth. ”

Mane Bear is not like the original Cheng Fang Zhijun, he knows Jiu Ge better.

"This was originally the joy of the Xia Hou clan's national sacrifice, just because the ancestor was the Xia Hou clan's fire master, the head of the witches in the Wu Temple, and he also left a share of my surname. ”

"Later, after Dongyi Kouxia, some of the music of these nine songs can be used for sacrifices, not all. Wait until Chengtang Daixia, the state of the Central Plains, and no longer need the music of nine songs to sacrifice to the gods. ”

"However, when my Chu people moved out of the ruins of the bear, in order to seek the protection of the gods, in addition to sacrificing to the fire god Zhurong, they also sacrificed to all the gods of the Nine Songs. ”

"Although we have been sacrificing for hundreds of years and have not received any benefits, we have become accustomed to it. ”

A hundred or two hundred years earlier, perhaps the Chu people had pinned their hopes on the gods, but now, they have given up.

All kinds of sacrifices, for them, are already a kind of inheritance of ritual civilization.

Many things in the Central Plains have gradually blurred, and there is not much I can remember.

This nine-song sacrifice can be said to be a symbol of the Chu people's former identity, because they have never let go.

"The Nine Song Gods, which gods are you referring to?"

This question can be said to be what Ji Kao wants to know the most.

Mane Bear said: "There are nine songs in the Nine Songs, the first of which is the prelude, which is the unity of all the gods of heaven and earth. There are eight kinds of tunes left, which are eight gods, all of which are very representative gods. ”

"These eight gods are Dongjun, Yunzhongjun, Da Si Ming, Shao Si Ming, Hebo, Mountain Ghost, Jun, and Madame. ”

"The king of the Middle East is the god of the sun, the source of light, and the length of the sun and the moon. ”

"The Lord of the Clouds is the master of storms, rains and thunders, and the lord of celestial phenomena. ”

"The great priest is the god of life and death, and the blessings and disasters of the world are in his hands. ”

"Shao Si Ming is the god of the heirs, and the future of the race depends on him. ”

"The river is the chief of the waters, and the mountain ghosts are the spirits of the mountains. ”

"The gentleman and the lady represent the sages and men respectively, and they are also the yin and yang of all things. ”

······

After Mane Bear finished telling him the nine songs and eight gods, or the eight types of gods, Ji Kao frowned slightly.

These statements are more plausible than what he will know in later generations.

Dongjun is the light, Yunzhongjun is the celestial phenomenon, these two are the gods;

The big secretary is in charge of life and death, and the young secretary is in charge of whether there is or not, these two are the gods of life;

The river is the chief of all waters, the mountain ghosts are the spirits of the mountains, and these two are the gods of the earth;

Jun and Mrs., not Xiang Jun and Xiang Lady, or not just Xiang Jun and Xiang Lady, but the corresponding human god.

In such nine songs, the gods of heaven, the gods of life, the gods of the earth and the gods of man are all prepared, which can be described as a great thing.

However, there is still a god who is above the gods, and a god who rules over the heavens, earth, people and destiny.

East Emperor Taiyi.

Could it be that in this world, there is actually no Eastern Emperor Taiyi?

Ji Kao didn't know, at least since he came here, he had never heard of anyone, demons, or worldly existences, mentioning the Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

"If you are interested in the Nine Songs, stay in my tribe for a while, and I will ask the people to play the Nine Songs for you. ”

Mane Bear was so warm and polite that Ji Kao didn't even know how to answer.

But he didn't want to miss this kind of opportunity, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "In this way, I thank Chu Jun." ”

He made up his mind that he must go to Chu to walk around and see more, and if he can help the Chu people, he will try to help as much as possible.

After a while, the bears came out of the temple, and there were three temples, but the bears only went in two of them, and the last one, but did not enter.

Seeing this scene, Ji Kao couldn't help but be curious again.

"Well, the last one, whether it's a temple or not, I don't know. ”

Hearing Ji Kao's question, the mane bear said, "There's a statue in there, with an unrecognizable face and no one who knows its origin. ”

"According to the ancestors, this is still Dongyi Kouxia, the period before Shaokang Zhongxing, the queen of the Xia Hou clan, before being killed by Han Xun, was placed in our clan. ”

But after Shaokang Zhongxing, Shaokang didn't know what this statue was for, so he kept it in the ruins of Youxiong. ”

"Cheng Tang Daixia, when I moved out, my ancestors suddenly felt that they wanted to bring this statue with them, so they brought it all the way to the river. ”

After listening to this, Ji Kao was slightly curious, thinking that if he had time later, he would go and see what kind of statue it was.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, Kaojun, let's take a look at the situation of this turtle gentleman. ”

After saying that, the mane bear began to walk around the giant turtle several times in a row.

He had a wand in his hand, a few knocks here, a few stabs there.

even cut a wound directly on the giant turtle's body and released a little blood to observe.

Ji Kao saw this scene and didn't say a word.

Don't use suspicious people, don't doubt people, he still understands this truth.

Moreover, the witchcraft method is mysterious, and he doesn't know the beauty of it.

The mane bear watched the turtle's blood for a long time before finally sighing softly.

"What, Chu Jun, can't you do anything about it?"

Seeing the bear's expression, Ji Kao's heart suddenly sank slightly.

Mane Bear shook his head, then nodded, then shook his head again.

"The situation of this turtle brother is more complicated than I imagined. ”

"Please also ask Chu Jun to teach in detail. ”

Mane Bear continued: "Kao Jun is a person who refines qi, and he should know that in addition to the physical body, the human body also has a soul. ”

Ji Kao nodded, he naturally knew this kind of thing.

"The problem with this turtle-kun is in the soul, it should be a spell against a Shinto practitioner, and for some reason, the spell is on this turtle-kun. ”

"If you are a Shinto person, the divine power is in the soul, and this magic power will stick to that divine power, hindering the practice of Shinto monks. It's hard to pull it out, but it's not as troublesome. ”

"This turtle monarch has no divine power, but he has demonic power, so the demonic power is swept into the soul, and together with the magic power, the spiritual consciousness is annihilated. ”

"Of course, it is a demon king, and it has touched the path of the soul, so it is not killed by this spell. But if you want it to wake up, it's also troublesome. ”

After listening to the bear's words, Ji Kao probably understood.

If this mantra is taken over by him, there is a method to rely on in Shinto, at most, Shinto cultivation is slower, but in fact, the problem is not very big.

And was taken by the giant turtle, and the phase was incompatible, which made it seem so troublesome.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, this was really unexpected.

But it was useless to smile bitterly, Ji Kao continued to ask: "Chu Jun can do anything, if he can save Brother Turtle, Kao is grateful." ”

"For the time being, I thought of a way, but it was not convenient to use, so I'll see if there is any other way. ”

"What's the method?"

Ji Kao hurriedly asked.

Seeing that Ji Kao was so urgent, Mane Bear also said directly: "In my vein of witchcraft, there is a method of dividing disasters, that is, the damage suffered by other people can be divided into half by witchcraft. ”

"This method can only be used if there is a slight achievement in the witchcraft, otherwise, it will be difficult to save your life. ”

"Among the Chu people, I can also use this technique. But Kao Jun also knows the situation of the Chu people, and if I am injured, it will be difficult for the tribe to be saved. ”

Ji Kao suddenly understood, and immediately said: "Let Chu Jun use the method of dividing disasters, Ji Kao has never thought about it. Although Brother Turtle was injured, he is still alive and well, waiting for the opportunity in the future. If Chu Jun is harmful, the Chu people will be in trouble. ”

In this land of thorns and barbarism, the mane bear can be said to be the last barrier of the Chu people.

Ji Kao knew, and the bears also knew, it was the two of them who sighed at each other.

"Kao Jun doesn't need to be in a hurry, the witch path of Zhurong is complicated, and I haven't been able to do all the math, maybe I can find a way in it. ”

Ji Kao nodded, and he could only hope for this.

It's a pity that although he learned the art of refining qi and also learned some Qishan medical skills, he had no chance with Wu Dao after all.

Witch Dao has no chance?!

Thinking of this, Ji Kao's heart suddenly moved.

Last time in the Xiqi Temple, the so-called spiritual ritual seemed to be interrupted by a deity.

Is he really not related to Wu Dao?

In the blink of an eye, he had an idea.

Mane Bear went to find other methods, not necessarily able to find them, but he could try at the same time to see if he could get started with the witchcraft.

It doesn't have to be very strong, just be able to share the magic power of the giant turtle.

But before he could do that, he had to be sure of one thing.

"Chu Jun, I don't know if you can pass on the method of dividing disasters in your vein to me?"

Speaking of this, Ji Kao was a little confused, and took the initiative to ask for the secret method, which was the first time he had done it.

Mane Bear's heart moved: "Kao Jun wants to learn the witch way?"

"Yes, I haven't practiced witchcraft, and I want to try it. ”

"This is also a method, but it is only a method of dividing disasters, and it involves many secrets of our vein of witchcraft. I can pass it on to Kaojun, but there is one condition. ”

"Chu Jun, please speak. ”

Hearing Mane Xiong's conditions, Ji Kao was relieved.

If you are willing to put forward conditions, it means that it is still possible, and as for whether you can exchange them, it depends on the conditions of the other party.
