"This is the ancestral temple of the Jiang family. Every time it is time to worship their ancestors, the Jiang family will worship their ancestors here."
After saying that, he led everyone into the Temple of Gao Mediator. After crossing the threshold, you can see a huge niche in front of you, with tablets built step by step, arranged like a pyramid, with incense curling up and tributes filling the table.
Most of the other things were similar to those of the ancestral temples. There was only one thing called Yue Guanchao that I was very curious about. The first tablet had intentionally curved upward horns. There was nothing on the tablet, which was similar to what they had seen before. .
"This tablet is the spiritual tablet of the Witch King. In the past, to avoid disaster, they did not dare to worship the Witch King openly, so the Wu people used blank tablets instead. This way they can avoid trouble and know who they are worshiping. Most of the Wu people's family temples There are also tablets of this shape in the pond. The things you want to see are stored in the back hall of the Temple of the High Matchmaker, I will take you there."
Wu Xuanyu took them out of the mother temple and led them across the corridor into the backyard. Most of the pavilions here were two-story pavilions. Around the backyard, there were various kinds of sacrificial witches coming in and out, which was extremely busy. After they explained their purpose, Si Dian Wu Xian led them into the library.
The library is about the size of five or six rooms. The upper and lower floors are filled with bookshelves. There are numerous volumes and the shelves are full of books. They are divided into different categories according to age and category. In order to prevent insects and moths around, insect-repelling incense is burned every day, and a fire wall is burned to use the wall. The heat conducted by the body is used to bake the bookshelf.
Yue Guanchao and the others were looking for something related to the Witch King, so they came to the innermost bookshelf on the second floor. In the past, most of the books were bound with leaves. For the sake of appearance, these books not only retained the original version, but also used scroll paper for copying. Read it at any time. It can be said that even ancient books are at least thousands of years old and can be considered antiques.
Song Siyuan picked up the book about Chi You's life, and with Wu Xuanyu's help, she searched for clues in the book. After about half an hour, she put down the ancient book and said: "Chi You was indeed beheaded and his limbs were dismembered in the Battle of the Deer. The Gu Department has collected all Chi You’s bodies, and there is no possibility of them being lost.”
"In other words, if it is really to repair Chi You's body, there is no need to sew up Du Lu's body."
This news made everyone curious. Xu Xiake said: "Since Chi You has a body, his stumps must be sewn up when it comes to burial. This is more consistent with the situation of being buried intact. If Du Lu's body is given to If you use it, maybe it means there is something else hidden."
"But, what is this secret?"
Everyone was as ignorant about this as Xu Xiake.
Song Siyuan added: "There is another question. If Chi You used Du Lu's body, where is his own body? Was his body simply discarded as a carrion skull? Or buried somewhere."
"Is it possible that Chi You's body has been dismembered and is no longer usable, so a good body must be chosen for him. If the body is still useful, could it be to bring him back to life?"
Before Yue Guanchao finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up. Song Siyuan looked at Wu Xuanyu: "Help us find records about the resurrection technique, and bring us all the ancient books related to it."
Wu Xuanyu understood the idea, rummaged through the library, and found many ancient books on rebirth and the disposal of corpses after death. The closer the year, the more ancient classical Chinese was used. Song Siyuan did not need to rely on Wu Xuanyu. , you can also get a rough idea.
By the end, her mind gradually became clear: "In the ancient witchcraft, there was a story recorded. Hou Qing was beheaded by the Yanhuang tribe and thrown in front of the camp of the Witch God Kingdom, so that he could use it to humiliate the Witch God Kingdom. Chi You specially ordered the general to The Hou Qing's body was brought back, and at the same time the twelve ancestral shamans were asked to go to Lingshan Mountain to ask for medicine and poured it into the Hou Qing's body, and then they used ghost communication and Nuo techniques to sacrifice the body. The Hou Qing suddenly sat up seventy-two days after his death."
"At this time, his body was able to move, but he had no pulse or heartbeat, his muscles were stiff, and his body was black and purple, like a dead corpse. However, he obviously had a soul and could move freely. From then on, Hou Qing participated in the war in this form , so that the Yanhuang tribe retreated and begged for mercy, and was called the ancestor of zombies by future generations."
She paused and continued: "This kind of story is indeed exaggerated. Maybe Hou Qing is not that powerful, but we have to consider the information contained in it. Maybe Chi You has found something, as long as it is mended Can corpses be resurrected?"
"Then, isn't this corpse corpse Gu?"
Yue Guanchao thought about the state of Hou Qing, which was too similar to the corpse Gu.
Song Siyuan knew what he meant, shook her head and retorted: "No, the Corpse Gu can make the corpse be as frantic as a beast, the Walking Corpse Gu can make the corpse walk like the wind, and there is even the Ghost Puppet Gu that can make the corpse do things according to people's orders."
"All of this is based on the influence of voodoo insects. All ancient books on how to deal with corpses have also introduced these methods. If Chi You used voodoo techniques to resurrect the queen, it is impossible not to record them in these ancient books."
"But the strange thing is that when they described Chi You's resurrection of the queen, they did not use any kind of poison, but what kind of Nuo magic was used. This clearly tells future generations that the resurrection of the corpse has nothing to do with the magic power, and seems to be the result of drinking the elixir. , plus the mysterious Nuo technique.”
After Song Siyuan finished speaking, Xu Xiake seemed to understand something: "You are saying that the Nuo technique used by Chi You was actually the main reason for Hou Qing's resurrection."
"Yes, I guess it is possible that some kind of potion that Hou Qing drank, combined with the Nuo technique, worked."
She continued to explain: "Although Nuo Gu is one, it is not the same thing. Nuo is the channeling of ghosts and spirits, and Gu is snakes, insects and poisonous beasts. Nuo magic is related to the prayer of the original Wu Xian. Wu Xian practices fighting, dances his body and chants By using the formula, after the spirit is channeled, the spirit will descend on the person, which can be used to possess magical powers or provide medical advice. It can be said that Chuma Xian is a type of Nuo technique."
Song Siyuan's eyes lit up when she said this: "I'm thinking that divination is a creature that communicates with the mirror space. Can the Nuo technique be understood as letting something in the mirror space occupy the body, thereby possessing things that humans do not have?" Ability, in the eyes of others, is the phenomenon of Nuo magic channeling. At the same time, once Nuo magic channels people, they will also be said to be possessed by ghosts or gods." m.
"According to my logic, Chi You's resurrection of Hou Qing actually allowed things in the mirror space to reoccupy Hou Qing's body to help him participate in the war."
No one has ever said this before. Wu Xuanyu thought for a moment and reminded: "Lingshan refers to Yongshan. Look at this picture."
Everyone looked at the map of the Wushen Kingdom. This was the early map of the Wushen Kingdom established by Chi You. It was probably from Hebei to Shandong, just downstream of the river. There was indeed a "Lingshan" Wu inscription at the location of the Bohai Bay!
"Since Chiyou discovered Yongshan, the mountain was controlled and became the Lingshan of the Kingdom of Witch Gods, also known as the Mountain of Psychics. It was guarded by the Twelve Ancestral Witches. They refined medicine, made weapons, and worshiped the gods in the mountain."
After hearing this, Yue Guanchao became confused: "If that's the case, the Queen became like this after drinking the medicine refined by the Twelve Ancestral Witches, but what exactly did he drink?"
Some people died, but not completely...
