The Shuisu tribe was divided into two and went north to join the Shen tribe, collectively known as the Sushen tribe. The other branch entered the Qinling Mountains via the southwest. They first lived in caves and quickly merged after finding the Gu tribe. At the same time, the Sushen tribe in the Daxianbei Mountains also entered the Shang Dynasty. King Zhou forced them to go south to join Sichuan and Shu, thus forming the Eight Kingdoms of Swearing Mu and the subsequent Great Shu Witch Kingdom.
It is estimated that the Yinping Witchland was selected as early as 5,000 years ago during the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. After hundreds of years of river construction and channel construction, and nearly a thousand years of tidal flat management, the Wealthy Witchland was officially formed.
Looking at it this way, Wu Xuanyu said that the witchcraft realm began to be governed thousands of years ago. Although it is an exaggeration, the 5,000-year governance is indeed correct. The era when the flood control ended was probably in the late Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. It can be seen that the ancient witch priests I have always known that there is such a place, and it is even possible that the witch emperor Chi You had already divined this place, so he left this fable.
Now that I think about it, the Wu Clan relies on Yi Shu to predict events like a god!
To this day, the Shuisu Wu Clan in the Eight Hundred Miles Ze Kingdom was almost wiped out by Qin Shihuang in the name of evil spirits, and was forced to disperse to various places. The Sushen Clan has been strategizing for thousands of years to manipulate the destiny of the Northern Dragon. In the end, the dragon veins were broken and scattered, and they could not be gathered together again. There is no hope of rising.
Only the remnants of the Wu Kingdom in the Gu tribe took precautions and found the Witch Realm according to the prophecy of the high priest. They governed here for two thousand years and gradually turned it into a prosperous plain. They also took the people of the Wu Kingdom and hid with them for two thousand years using the special function of the Witch Realm. This shows that the Great War at that time was The priest was thoughtful and well-intentioned.
In the end, this place really became the last hiding place of the Wu clan!
Yue Guanchao thought about the past events Wu Xuanyu said and asked, "How can you be so sure that this is the last place of protection?"
"We have a whistleblower system!"
The whistleblower system refers to the fact that over a long period of time, if there are more than three incidents of outsiders from the Witch Kingdom, they will be recorded and reported to the high priest, who will then decide whether to choose another hiding place. m.
In the past two thousand years, except for the discovery of the problem in the mirror space, no one has been able to discover the Witch Realm. If there are no accidents, this is the last hiding place of the Witch Clan, and it will not change easily.
Song Siyuan nodded and sighed: "I didn't expect that you would be so vigilant!"
"Indeed, since the destruction of the Kingdom of the Witch God, the orthodox civilization has always regarded witches as heretics, and has tried to kill witches as much as possible. The witch clan will firmly abide by the whistleblower system no matter where they are. Only in this way can the bloodline be preserved forever. Exterminated."
After Wu Xuanyu finished speaking, he said with emotion: "Since King Wen of Zhou tampered with the Book of Changes, the divination function of the Central Plains Dynasty has long been abandoned, and it is impossible to predict heavenly affairs. Since then, the heavenly official divination is just a ceremonial official position, and no longer has the ability to reach the sky. , the world has repeatedly changed dynasties, and now, there are only a few people who can decipher the Book of Changes. Thinking about it now, the only ones who are truly aware of the mirror space are the Wu clan people."
Afterwards, Wu Xuanyu took them out of the north gate, stood near the mountain path and explained the terrain here in detail, before taking them back to Lancang Mountain.
On the way back, Yue Guanchao remembered that Wu Mifeng often went to Wushen Canyon when he was young, and asked him: "Old man Wu, when you went to the canyon when you were young, did you see any strange buildings in the canyon?"
Yue Guanchao thought to himself that Wu Mifeng went to Wushen Gorge all the year round when he was young. It would be more realistic to visit the place in advance just now than to experience it in person, so he simply asked this old man.
Wu Mifeng recalled the past and explained: "The Wushen Gorge is densely covered with rivers, dividing the canyon like golden and silver threads. Most of them are river channels left by the ancient Wu ancestors to control floods in ancient times. After thousands of years, the canyon was covered with towering wild trees. More mysterious."
"After passing the earth mountain where the Witch God Altar is located, and walking for more than ten miles, you can see that the valley has completely merged into the giant river and flowed out. It is about thirty miles long. The widest part of the canyon can be tens of miles, and the narrowest part is tens of miles long. Here, the closer to the northern valley, the smaller the area becomes, similar to the terrain at the southern end of the Wizarding Realm."
"I was very talented and bold in those days. I once led my entourage through the canyon directly to the northern river valley. During this period, I saw countless poisonous insects, poisonous weeds, and strange beasts, but there was no trace of human activity. At that time, the canyon was closed because of the dense poisonous fog. If you keep people, I don’t think anyone will be able to stay there long.”
"Unless some people are not afraid of poisonous gas and poisonous insects, only in this way can they settle down for a long time."
Yue Guanchao listened to these words and asked again: "In your opinion, Yu Dongjin is really dead?"
At this question, Wu Mifeng shook his head and said: "You can't tell the truth from the corpse. If Ren Dongjin really gave the child away, maybe he really had a back-up plan. I feel that whether Ren Dongjin committed suicide or was If someone is poisoned, the body should be destroyed. Only in this way can the coalition forces find the body and cut it into pieces."
"In other words, he deliberately left the body, probably to make the cicada escape from its shell, and deliberately made people think that he was dead. In this way, he could make the coalition forces relax their vigilance."
"It's just!" Umi Feng changed the topic: "Assuming that Yu Dongjin is really not dead, he either left the Yinping witchcraft realm, or he continued to stay in a certain canyon and mountain in the witchcraft realm. No matter what the situation was, he hid for twenty What is the purpose of not showing up for many years? Is it just to survive?"
No one knew about Wu Mifeng's question. Yue Guanchao could only suppress his doubts for the time being and accompany Song Siyuan to visit the Gao Mediator Temple in the Witch God Kingdom.
After returning to Wudu City, Wu Xuanyu said goodbye to the teahouse and took Yue Guanchao and the others through the arm city to Gu Xuan Mountain behind the palace.
This mountain is located in the extreme north of the palace. It is shaped like a saddle, with east and west high and a middle bottom, just like a mountain supporting the palace. The temple built in the mountain is the Gao Mediator Mother Temple!
They climbed up the white stone stairs, and when they reached the deepest part of the saddle, they could already see the Temple of the High Matchmaker.
Yue Guanchao observed carefully that the area of the Gao Mediator Temple was not too small, almost the same as a palace complex. It consisted of a front gatehouse, a middle gate, a main hall, a backyard and a wall. The yellow mud wall surrounded the ancient trees and the gatehouse had three floors. After walking in, Visible is the second gate. A square pond has been dug in this courtyard. Live water pours into the pond from everywhere. Fish and shrimps can be seen playing in the water, and aquatic plants are luxuriant.
After crossing the Baishi Bridge and entering the second middle gate, you have entered the main hall courtyard.
There is a three-story high platform in front, which is gradually lowering like a "convex" shape. There are white marble steps connecting the base to form an upward climbing staircase.
There are corridors and verandahs on each floor of the base, until the highest platform, which is transformed into a front and rear hall with bird-wing eaves, green tiles and golden owl, surrounded by railings and planted with lush trees. This is the Gao Medial Mother Temple.
As mentioned earlier, the Gao Media Mother Temple was an ancestral temple in the clan and tribal period, which played a role in uniting people's hearts. It used to be dedicated to the ancestors of the Yu family, but now it has been replaced by the ancestors of the Jiang family.
Some people died, but not completely...
