Song Siyuan looked at everyone and formally introduced the art of pulling pigeons:
The ancestors of Sushen believed that all things have animism, and that mountains, rivers, lakes, forests, swamps, flowers, birds, insects, and fish all have corresponding gods. This kind of worship of the power of nature actually comes from the earlier witchcraft culture. They believe that the human soul is too spiritual. If you are too dirty, you need a medium and a specialized wizard to communicate with the gods.
The Black Water Mohe is a branch of the Sushen North Clan. Whether it is the Sushen Great Witch or the Mohe ancestors, they are essentially just a type of people with pure souls who can communicate with the gods. However, the way Sushen Great Witch communicates is to accommodate The remnant souls of ancient ancestors are also reincarnations.
The way the ancestors of Mohe communicated with gods was to use plants and trees to control animals to communicate with gods!
In the early Xia and Shang Dynasties before the Zhou Dynasty, the ancients believed in witches more than gods, and obscene sacrifices were very common. Whenever there were weddings, funerals, construction, or moving around, one must first consult the witches to know the good or bad luck. Start taking action and use the oracle bones for divination.
The way the ancestors of Mohe asked witches was to use animals tamed by vegetation to ask God's will, let the animals make choices and directions for the ancestors, and then lead the men and women of the tribe to do things according to the guidance of the gods.
What they call pigs should actually be domesticated wild animals, such as wild wolves, wild boars, bison, wild dogs, and even tigers, lions, and leopards. At that time, the boundaries between domestic animals and wild animals were not clear. Once an animal with strange behavior was captured, They may all be domesticated into pigeons.
Over time, they developed a method of coaxing wild beasts to do things for them, which is called the herding technique. This is where the Bei people's herding technique comes from. It is a forbidden spell that can reproduce vegetation, drive away beasts and control insects.
Later, the Mohe ancestors created national tribes. This ancestors' pig-pulling technique was no longer used as a means of asking witches, but was presented as part of ancestor worship. As the Mohe ancestors approached secular culture, the pig-pulling technique was actually lost.
It is precisely because of this that Haidong Natural History revealed that Zuorong was entrusted by his ancestors in a dream, and then he remembered the art of pig breeding.
After Song Siyuan told everyone about the origin of the Mohe technique, she looked at everyone: "The dragon snake in front of us is huge, with a body as long and slender as a snake, with webbed limbs. It has brown hair from its head to its tail. It likes to hunt in rock caves. The description of the cave salamander is very similar."
"I guess that since black catfish can be domesticated into alienated predators, wouldn't it be possible for the salamanders in this cave to do the same? They must have discovered the salamanders when they were building the mausoleum, and deliberately left the salamanders in the cave to transform into predators. Guard the underground palace.”
"The reason why this cave salamander grows so big is probably related to the Wangchuan River!"
Then, she looked at Uncle Yu: "Uncle Yu, you are the closest to this snake. You should know how close this snake is!"
The old man Yu had just escaped from danger. He remembered what he had observed when he was observing the snake at close range, and said tremblingly:
"Girl, after you said that, I also smelled a strange smell. This dragon snake has the smell of Ganoderma lucidum and a strong smell of corpse oil. It should be that it has been contaminated with these two things for many years, just like it has been pickled. It seems like you can smell it even if you’re not there.”
Seeing her guess confirmed by Yu Bo, Song Siyuan felt more confident in speaking:
"Everyone has heard what Yu Bo said. It is estimated that the dragon snake has been nourished by the Ganoderma lucidum and yin oil on the corpse for thousands of years, so that it can become huge, bloodthirsty and cruel. However, most people who have tasted human blood will eat the marrow and become fond of the taste. It eats living things. It’s not surprising that this cave salamander has been corroded for thousands of years and turned into what it is today. The cave salamander is an ancient creature, very similar to the ancestors of snakes and crocodiles. It makes sense to say that it is a salamander!"
"Rather than the bloodthirsty dragon snakes, what I'm more worried about is the Yin Corpse Array set up by Da Yin Zun. The arrangement of nearly ten thousand corpses seems to be related to feeding the dragon snakes."
"Although there is no record in the Haidong natural history, we can imagine the mechanism of the ancestors' pig sacrifice based on experience. Once the ancestors of Mohe wanted to ask a witch, they would ask the domesticated pig beast to come out and ask the witch in front of the tribe. Ask God for clear instructions so that you can act according to God’s will.”
"The ancients were involved in sacrificing to gods, and one unavoidable topic was sacrifice. After the Zhou Dynasty, six animals were gradually used instead of human sacrifices. The dynasties before the Zhou Dynasty mostly performed wild sacrifices for obscene sacrifices. What they pursued was to respond to requests, so what did the gods like to eat? , the ancestors would sacrifice something, and as the spirit of all things, humans bear the brunt of sacrifices to the gods."
Yue Guanchao's eyes widened: "You mean, the sacrifices of the pig sacrifice are actually living people?"
"Yes!" Song Siyuan breathed in a low voice for a moment. Although she was not sure, it was logical. She could only nod in acquiescence:
"Yes, only by sacrificing living people can the ancient gods be happy. From my perspective, making the ancient gods happy is no different from making the beasts happy. What the beasts need is not living people. !”
"Even if there is no information, I am 80% sure that the sacrifices of this pig sacrifice are living people. Making people into infernal corpses is just one of the methods of pig sacrifice."
Cat Master was reminded by Song Siyuan, and he suddenly realized:
"Ouch~ Now it seems that the infant corpses in the cave and the Yin Corpse Formation on the Wangchuan River are not cruel burials at all. The burial of infants and young children is too evil and does not comply with the ancient burial regulations. If it is interpreted as Worshiping ancient gods, sacrificing human beings, and raising pigeons can be explained."
"Then, aren't the people who go to the Bohai Northern Dynasty Tomb in the imperial family actually selected as sacrifices?"
