Gu Yu introduced Lin Xixue into the main hall, took two pieces of copper from the altar table and folded them into a strange clam-shell-shaped magical instrument, struck it with a copper rod, then clapped his hands three times at the statue, and lit the brazier in the hall.
Then he bit off his fingertips, took the yellow paper from the table, and drew awkward symbols that looked unfamiliar.
After drawing the symbols, he put the yellow paper into the brazier, clasped his hands together, and recited a mantra that Lin Xixue could not understand.
However, although Lin Xixue could not understand what he was reciting, she had indeed seen a scene similar to this scene before - when the former Great Witch Zhu invited the master, the process of the ceremony was almost the same.
Looking at this posture, could it be that the embroidery lady wants to talk to her personally?
Sure enough, after Gu Yu finished reciting the incantation, his whole body twitched like an electric shock, leaving only the whites of his eyes, but the next moment his eyes returned to their original positions.
Gu Yu stood up, his whole aura seemed different, his body and posture showed some softness, it was obvious that the embroidery lady had arrived.
He looked at Lin Xixue, with a complicated look on his face, sighed quietly, and said, "Tell me, what do you want to do with this soul-inducing technique?"
Lin Xixue told the whole story of the incident without hiding anything.
He frowned and said, "I really don't know much about the soul-inducing art you mentioned, but I do know another witchcraft."
"Witchcraft?" When Lin Xixue heard the name, she couldn't help but think, "Could it be related to Wujiang?"
"Yes, that's not right. To be precise, only Wujiang has left this witchcraft inheritance, while the witchcraft inheritance in the other states has either evolved into other miraculous arts, or been completely cut off." Embroidery Lady explained. road.
"Can you please clear up my doubts?"
"The specific time is unknown, but it was indeed a long, long time ago that a group of people discovered that worshiping some special beings could gain some incredible power."
"This group of people summarized the methods of offering sacrifices and offerings to obtain strength, which formed the earliest witchcraft. This group of people was also called 'witches' by the tribesmen. Among them, the people with the strongest witchcraft power , is the great witch."
"So, these incredible existences are monsters like Tianzun and Lei Zu?" Lin Xixue concluded.
"Wrong, these beings didn't pay attention to this world at that time."
"Is that so?" Lin Xixue was extremely surprised, and the embroidery lady's answer completely subverted her understanding.
This is how she understood the structure of this world before. The way of heaven in this world was originally the standard way of heaven in the fairy world.
Later, the way of heaven was eroded and corrupted by strange beings such as Tianzun and Leizu, forming another practice system based on incense.
That's why in this world there are immortal sects like Lantau Mountain, as well as various Taoist temples, and behind each temple there is a strange being.
But according to what the embroidery lady said, before the world was eroded by strangeness, there was already a way to obtain power through worship?
She couldn't help but think of the petrified civil servants and generals she had seen in the cold river before; and then she thought of how the master looked like a general and marshal galloping on the battlefield.
"Could it be that before these weird invasions, this world could have gained power by worshiping its ancestors?" Lin Xixue revised her speculation.
"Yes, it's not stupid." The embroidery lady mocked her angrily.
Lin Xixue fell into deep thought again, and the embroidery lady's answer once again subverted her cognition.
In this way, this world is even more elusive. She asked: "Why did this world already have two ways of practice before the strange invasion?"
"You ask me who I'm asking. I'm just a dead person who happened to absorb the power of incense. Do you think I'm a real god who knows everything?" The embroidery lady seized the opportunity again and said something negative to her.
Lin Xixue fell silent again, not because of the embroidery lady's strange aura, but because the information she received today was so shocking that she couldn't find a reasonable explanation for a while.
The embroidery lady ignored her confusion and continued to explain: "Back to the topic, this soul-inducing technique is essentially a variant of witchcraft."
"Although I don't understand the art of attracting souls, I know a little bit about the witchcraft called 'The Return of Souls'."
Lin Xixue quickly came to her senses, cupped her hands and said, "Can I give you some advice?"
"Tell me, why should I give you advice?" The embroidery lady pressed against Gu Yu's body, her eyebrows raised, and she sneered again and again.
"First you killed my husband, demolished my temple, and then destroyed the token I left for you. Why should I give you advice?"
Lin Xixue was so smart that she naturally understood the implication of the embroidery lady's words.
Assuming that the embroidery lady didn't intend to give advice to him, there was actually no need to let him in from the beginning, let alone use Gu Yu's body to talk to him in person.
He would never be so idle that he would just look at him just for the sake of irritating him.
Therefore, the implication of this statement is obviously that it is okay to teach yourself the art of soul return, but it is by no means free of cost.
"I wonder what your orders are?"
"Without it, when you kill Tianzun in the future, you will share half of his incense power with me."
When Lin Xixue heard this, her heart tightened, and her face could not help but stiffen. She had never told anyone else that she wanted to kill Tianzun. How did the Embroidery Lady know?
Could it be that the embroidery lady has some magical power that can spy on her inner thoughts?
The embroidery lady saw her expression changed drastically and could not guess what she was thinking. She added: "On the day my husband disappeared, you knelt in front of me and made great ambitions. Of course I knew."
"Big ambitions?"
Lin Xixue suddenly remembered that she was indeed filled with sadness that day. She knelt in front of the statue of the Embroidered Lady and vowed to kill the Heavenly Lord. Did she inadvertently make such a grand ambition?
"Hmph!" The Embroidery Lady snorted coldly, "If you hadn't made such a great ambition that day and made me think you weren't hopeless, do you think I would have let you go?"
Lin Xixue nodded, understanding that this was the reason why she was able to leave safely that day, but she changed the subject and said, "Is your Majesty really convinced that I can kill this monster like Tianzun?"
"With your little magic power now, of course I don't believe it." He sneered, "But since my husband said he was willing to believe you, then just let him."
"My master is still alive?" Lin Xixue was overjoyed when she heard this and asked immediately.
"Oh, thanks to 'Shangzhen', I'm not dead yet!" The embroidery lady emphasized the word 'Shangzhen' very hard, obviously she was playing tricks on her again.
Lin Xixue could only smile bitterly. Although the embroiderer had never stopped yin and yang, it was easy to understand that she had deep resentment in her heart, and she had to bear it silently.
"If I can really kill the monster Tianzun in the future, I will definitely give half of the incense absorbed by the monster to the queen!"
Hearing this, the embroidery lady threw her an animal skin scroll and a yellowed ancient painting, and said: "What is recorded on the animal skin is the witchcraft of the soul's return. You can understand it yourself."
Lin Xixue held the animal skin and rubbed it in her hands, frowning involuntarily.
Why does the feel of this animal skin feel so familiar?
