"You are right. The Shu Emperor's Palace remains on the top of the mountain. There is no danger, but the Witch God Altar is different."
When Lan Qingping mentioned this, his expression became extremely mysterious, and he took a breath to explain the origin of these sacrificial buildings.
After the demise of the witch kingdom of Shu, the Bashu nobles resisted fiercely. The pre-Qin country has always regarded witchcraft as a strange power and chaos. Facing the Bashu Kingdom with a strong witchcraft culture, it only regarded this place as a barbaric and uncivilized barbarian alien race. They gave the nobles many choices. Young man, those who surrender will be made marquises and knights, and those who resist desperately will be killed by the whole clan.
Sometimes, in order to find the magic weapon talisman, the nobles were required to expose each other's crimes, so that they could use the crimes as a threat to coerce the nobles into doing things for them.
After the death of Du Lu, the last Shu emperor, the Qin people cut off his head and exposed his body in the wilderness in order to quickly put down the civil strife in Shu and at the same time gain a firm foothold. In order to frighten other uncooperative nobles, the Qin people forcibly exposed his body and refused to bury him. His head was made into a wine cup for the Qin people to drink and have fun.
Later, the remnants of the Witch God Kingdom took the risk and collected his body and transported it to the Yinping Witchland. Only then did they save part of the body of Shu King Du Lu. When the shamans collected the body of the Shu Emperor, countless cuckoo birds flew around. The chirping continued, and later, the high priest was entrusted with a dream by the Emperor of Shu, who asked him to be buried intact.
This is difficult for the remnants of the Witch God Kingdom. The Shu Emperor’s head has long been made into a wine cup, and it is impossible to restore it. Now, killing someone to sew his head on is not worthy of the status of the Eight Mu Emperor. After thinking about it, , the later leader of the Wu Kingdom decided to combine the sacrifices of ancestors and the King of Shu into one, and sewed Chi You's head on the remains of the Emperor of Shu to form a complete body.
In this way, Chiyou had a body and Emperor Shu had a head. The Emperor of Wu was light on life and death, and the Emperor of Shu was on integrity. The two were combined into one and were collectively called the Witch God. As the ancestors of the Bashu Witch Kingdom, they stood in the ancestral hall and enjoyed sacrifices until the Witch God altar was built. After it was completed, the remnants of the Witch God Kingdom sent his body and the sacrifices to the altar, and then sealed the mound with earth.
After all the funerals were over, the Wu clan people thought that the matter was over, but strange things happened at the Altar of the Witch God. The ancient trees, shrubs, vines and weeds around the altar began to grow wildly, directly blocking all roads, and the entire canyon was completely closed. Only the stairs extending from the shrine can lead into the canyon along the mountain path.
Over the next few hundred years, more and more poisonous insects and poisons were found in the canyon, gradually gathering into a paradise for cold-blooded scale insects. These poisonous insects stayed in the canyon all year round, where they were born, multiplied, died and rotted. Coupled with the deep canyon and dense forests, the poisonous insects produced The poisonous miasma has spread throughout the canyon, filling the area with fog.
One thing is strange, that is, the poisonous insect miasma only exists near the canyon, and disappears completely after leaving the canyon. A tribesman with good intentions once went down to have a look, but when he came up, he did not know what kind of poison he was poisoned, and his whole body rotted and died. This place was once reduced to Forbidden land.
Over the past thousand years, the remnants of the Witch God have developed poison-avoiding pills, so people dare to go into the Witch God Canyon in groups to work. If they are alone, they will never dare to stay in the dense forest of the canyon for too long.
Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Although the poisons in the canyon are terrifying, they have also contributed a lot to the witchcraft of the Witch God Kingdom. Many places in the canyon are filled with poisonous flowers and poisonous weeds that have been smoked by poisons and have changed their medicinal properties. It only needs a little refining. To make the world's strangest poison, at the same time, those poisonous insects are also the best Gu insects. If successfully domesticated, they will be more terrifying than the Golden Silkworm Gu, and can even kill people invisible.
The Nightmare Gu and Corpse Gu were obtained from poisonous insects in the canyon.
Over time, the people of the Kingdom of the Witch God spread rumors that the canyon was actually a treasure created by the Witch God after his appearance, and was a holy place for the survivors of the Witch God to protect themselves. Although poisonous miasma was everywhere, the people were willing to go to the canyon to collect poisonous flowers and poisonous insects. Because they were not familiar with the toxicity, Poison-avoiding pills sometimes fail, inevitably causing innocent and tragic deaths of people.
Seeing that the people were becoming more and more enthusiastic about the canyon, the Lord of the Witch God Kingdom, in order to protect the people and the altar of the Witch God, simply issued an order prohibiting ordinary people from going to the Witch God Canyon. Only Gu masters, Gu doctors, pharmacists and witch priests who had been canonized by the Witch God Kingdom Only then can we go to the canyon.
With this order and the samurai patrols in the hilly areas, the poisoning and poisoning of the people gradually disappeared, and the people's lives returned to normal.
As the old saying goes, there are national policies and countermeasures. Even if there is a ban, over the past thousands of years, many shamans have gone to the canyon privately to collect medicine and make poison. They either did not come back, or when they came back, they were already poisoned, or even missing their arms. Less legs.
The Wu people are naturally fond of collecting medicine and making poison. The Wushen Canyon seems to have a magical power, and the energy source continues to attract people. In the end, each generation of kings no longer went down to the canyon to worship the altar, but only worshiped souls in front of the Shu Emperor Palace. Suspected of entering again.
It can be said that since the canyon was completely closed, the shamans have not visited the altar for at least a thousand years, and they do not know what is going on inside.
When Lan Qingping said this, Yue Guanchao finally understood. He shook his head while chewing his teeth and clapped his hands: "You haven't dared to go down for thousands of years. Those of us who tremble even when we take poison go to the canyon, aren't we going to die!"
"Although it is dangerous, we still have to go. Don't worry, we will send Gu masters and pharmacists and warriors to go to the canyon with you. We will escort you along the way and will not let you step into dangerous situations. As long as you reach the Altar of the Witch God, you will be safe. .”33
The Lord of the Witch God Kingdom knew that this matter was a bit too dangerous to talk about, so he specifically asked Lan Qingping to take action. At least with Lan Ruling's relationship, they would not doubt too much.
Yue Guanchao looked at Ren Peacock. If the curse was to be lifted, they had to enter the Altar of the Witch God. In fact, they didn't have much way to go. If they didn't make this trip for them, the method to lift the curse would probably not be easily told to them. The two wanted to understand. He was already a piece of meat on the chopping board, and nodded to everyone: "It's okay to go, but you must prepare a complete plan, including poison-avoiding pills and poison-repelling pills. I don't want to be unable to come up after I go down."
When Jiang Qingxiao saw that they agreed to go to Wushen Canyon, she quickly dispelled their doubts: "Don't worry about this. For thousands of years, successive generations of Gu doctors have thoroughly studied the poisonous insects in the canyon, and they will not let you get poisoned for no reason."
"Then, you can tell me the way to lift the curse now!"
Lan Qingping looked at Jiang Qingxiao, and when he looked at her in agreement, she took the tiger talisman and handed it to Yue Guanchao. She leaned closer and said, "Since the Qin tiger talisman is an anti-talisman, it must be because of the anti-talisman. If we can find the real witch talisman, Put this Qin Tiger Talisman next to the real soldier talisman, and the positive and negative will cancel each other out, and maybe the curse can be solved."
"Of course, this is just our guess, because no one has been cursed by the Qin Tiger Talisman. What did you do to get entangled with the Tiger Talisman?"
Some people died, but not completely...
