summer market

Gu Fengchun nodded, and said: "I read the relevant records in a notebook novel from the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and I always thought that it was just a novelist's words and should not be true."

Zhou Dingxuan's breathing suddenly became rapid again, and he said repeatedly: "Then tell me, what is said in the notebook novel." Obviously, he didn't know much about the people, otherwise he wouldn't be so nervous and nervous. eager.

Gu Fengchun bowed his head and remained silent, searching for the memories related to this poor man in his mind. After a while, he slowly said: "If you want to talk about this poor man, you have to start with the Bo people."

Regarding Zunren, he had read some records from an isolated notebook novel in the Song Dynasty, which recorded some customs and legends in the southwestern region in the pre-Qin period. Never paid much attention to.Part of it says that there is a Bo nationality between Bashu and Sichuan. People of this nationality are not buried in the same way as in the Central Plains.The Bo people are probably the ones who invented cliff burials in the Bashu area.

The reason why the Bo people go to great lengths to store the coffins of the dead on the cliffs is why experts and scholars have not yet come to a conclusion; but the notebook novels say: Bo people worship the sky, respect the sky, and believe in After death, the soul will go to heaven, so the higher the distance from the sky, the greater the possibility of the soul's ascension.Therefore, in order for the ancestors to ascend smoothly, the descendants spare no effort to create a towering burial place for the ancestors.But now, we don't know where to start, and this method of cliff burial is lost.

The Bo people are tall, according to the current weights and measures, they should be about 1.9 meters to [-] meters (higher than Dayao, Khan), and their strength is boundless, but their ability to reproduce does not seem to be very good, and their number is not large; They would often attack the territory of other tribes, rob property, and plunder slaves; it was not until they were defeated by the coalition formed by the legendary Cancong tribe that they hurriedly withdrew from Bashu and fled to northern Yunnan.The Cancong family chased after them, and finally caught up with the Bo people in the north of Yunnan. The original Bo people are the ancestors of the Bai people.Before the rise of the Cancong tribe, the Bo people almost swept across the entire Bashu area, and their most powerful combat power was not those strong warriors of the Bo people, but a kind of witchcraft.

This kind of witchcraft is called 癙瘣, which can make people in a rigid state of immortality, but after being instructed by the wizard, they will become extremely brave, and they will never retreat on the battlefield.In modern terms, this is the walking dead.

When Gu Fengchun said this, he felt a chill in his heart, and couldn't help but think of those people who were poisoned by fennel before. Didn't they also become walking dead?And it mutated into a terrifying monster.Is there any close connection between this sickness and fennel grass?

Gu Fengchun went on to say that this kind of witchcraft cannot be deciphered. People who have been subjected to witchcraft are generally called scorpions. The living will be hunted.The wizards had no choice but to use their own blood mixed with a unique potion to mark the foreheads of their clansmen. After the blood stains of this mark were cleaned, there would still be faint traces, and it was not until one month after the death of the wizard that they could completely disappear.People with this kind of sign will not be attacked by the shamans. This method uses the blood of wizards to maintain the safety of the tribe, so it is called "blood redemption".

However, the lifespan of a wizard is often much shorter than that of the monsters he controls. Once the wizard dies, the monsters will gradually lose control.Therefore, witchcraft can only destroy the people they control in a unique way before they die, otherwise they will have to perform a dangerous ceremony, inject their own blood into their offspring, and let their breath continue to control Scared people.This ceremony is usually performed by selecting the eldest son. The whole ceremony is very dangerous. The eldest son will be placed among the sages, and the old wizard will infuse his own blood into the eldest son in a unique way. If the scorpion rejects the new owner, Then the grievances accumulated over the years will be vented at the new owner, and the new owner can be torn to pieces in an instant.At that time, the population was sparse, and the plundered slaves were of strong physique. Not many were suitable to be scorpions, and it was not easy to refine them. The scorpions were a very precious wealth in the tribe, so the Bo people generally chose the most dangerous way to obtain them. Preserve tribal property.

As the saying goes, success is Xiao He's failure, and the reason why the Bo people are declining so quickly is that the method of refining the Bo people is too cruel, which arouses the common hatred of other tribes. Under the call of the Cancong tribe, the Bo people The people were besieged by many tribes, and the leak in the house happened to be raining. At this time, an accident occurred during the adoption of the old and new wizard abilities of the Bo people. Under the attack of Jun Zhi, they were unable to resist, so the whole tribe had to move to the northern Yunnan area in an attempt to escape from Bashu and open up a new territory. After they stabilized in the future, they tried to seek revenge.

Unexpectedly, Cancong, the leader of the Cancong tribe, is a wise lord. He has long understood the Bo people's tactic of retreating, and knows that the Bo people are full of weirdness. In addition to the fact that the Bo people are brutal and good at fighting, the tribes of the coalition forces will face annihilation.So Can Cong continued to lead the tribe to continue to hunt and kill the Bo people in the high mountains, and finally wiped out the main force of the Bo people in the vast [-] mountains, and returned in triumph.

This note novel is very wonderful, but there is no mention of similar things in the official history, so Gu Fengchun has always regarded it as a fabrication.You must know that there is only one "Huayang Guozhi" with a little detail about the ancient history between Bashu, but most of them can only be read as fairy tales. Historians are far from getting the real historical information contained in it. attention.As for the notebook novels of later generations, not to mention the degree of credibility, not to mention that most experts and scholars turned a blind eye to them, and even the freshmen like Gu Fengchun, who prefer to dig into the horns, don't pay much attention to these records.

Gu Fengchun made a gesture to Gu Zhenting, expressing that he needs some time to sort out these clues; after sorting out these clues, maybe he can find something from it.

Zhou Dingxuan was dripping with cold sweat, he sighed: "This must be true, this blind spot will be recorded in a little-known notebook novel."
