Chapter 1020 Origin
The beauty in red looked at Fan Jiannan and was silent for a while, then smiled slightly, "Okay, I will give you this face. If you want to know the details, I can tell you. However, there is a debt and a debtor in this matter. I still hope that you two Stay out of it."

"Very well, we are listening." Fan Jiannan said calmly.

"It was 19 years ago. In order to solve a difficult problem, several practitioners got together and formed a temporary team." The beauty in red said, "This team can be called a collection of Some of the top performers at that time, including Feng Feng and his wife, and Wei Rushan, a well-known geologist at that time. But the initiator of this incident was another person, that was a person who was called The fox fairy's woman."

Fan Jiannan nodded, "I probably know a little bit about this, but who is this fox fairy you're talking about?"

"Her surname is Linghu, and her name is Linghu Bai." The beauty in red hesitated and said, "She comes from a rather special family."

"A family of witchcraft?" Fan Jiannan frowned slightly.

"Probably." The girl in red nodded and said, "Her family was once prominent in ancient times, and they relied on witchcraft. The reason why Linghu Bai gathered this group of magicians was because he wanted to use the power of these people." Power, to solve a mystery that has lingered in the wizarding world for many years."

"Witch Wen?" Fan Jiannan said indifferently.

"It seems that you have already understood some things. Yes, that set of witchcraft was left over by the Linghu family many years ago. Even the old people of the Linghu family at that time could not decipher the meaning. But the family members However, there have been rumors about this group of mysterious shamanism. It is said that there is a lot of power hidden in this group of shamanism." The beauty in red smiled melancholy, "I have heard that legend too."

"Oh? What kind of legend is it?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

The beauty in red looked at Fan Jiannan and said, "I know that you are all magicians, and since you are the masters of the five arts, your abilities should not be weak. But, you have to understand that no matter how powerful the magic is, maybe It can kill people. But it may not be able to bring people back to life.”

"Resurrected from the dead?" Long Boldly said for a moment, "This is simply a joke."

The beauty in red smiled faintly, "I don't know what's so ridiculous?"

Long boldly shook his head and said, "I know that our medical skills are originally derived from witchcraft, so there has always been a saying in traditional Chinese medicine that witch doctors have the same origin, but there is one thing that is completely different. That is, we respect science and we advocate rationality. So I don't think anyone can transcend the limit of life and death. It is indeed possible to use magic to kill people, but to use magic to bring the dead back to life is superstition."

"That's why we are sorcerers." The beauty in red smiled, "We have different ideas from yours. I don't deny that there are many absurd and superstitious elements in witchcraft. But we also believe that in the world of witchcraft, everything Everything is possible. This world is not purely rational, and there are many things that rational thinking cannot find answers to.”

"Then if you say that, I can't argue with you. Even if I didn't say anything just now." Long boldly shrugged.

"Yes, this is a topic that no one can convince anyone." The beauty in red looked at Fan Jiannan and said, "Since you don't agree with me, are you still interested in listening?"

"It's okay, even if I don't agree with your point of view, I still think you have the right to express your point of view." Fan Jiannan took a sip of the tea ceremony, "I would like to know more, where did this set of shamanism come from?"

"The genealogy of the Linghu family." The beauty in red smiled and said, "Although this genealogy has been revised several times since it was handed down from the Han Dynasty, this group of mysterious witchcraft has also been inherited by the scribes of the genealogy from generation to generation. come down."

"Genealogy?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"You don't even know what a genealogy is, do you?" the beauty in red smiled.

Genealogy is a special kind of document. As far as its content is concerned, it records the people and deeds of the blood group of the same ancestor and common ancestor.It is generally circulated within the family, which was very common in ancient times, especially in some families with a long history.

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "I know this, but is your family special?"

"Linghu is an ancient surname, which is said to be derived from the surname Ji. Wei Ke, a descendant of Bi Gonggao, the son of King Wen of Zhou, won the battle. Jin Jinggong rewarded him with the area around Linghu as a fief, and Wei Jie, the son of Wei Ke, took the fief as his surname. , called Linghujie. This is the first generation of the surname Linghu, which has a history of more than 2300 years. We are the Linghu family in Tongzi County, Guizhou Province." The beauty in red said calmly.

"It seems to have a great background." Fan Jiannan sighed.However, he secretly thought that the aboriginal culture in Guizhou was influenced by "Bashu culture", "Jingchu culture" and "Ancient Dian culture", and it is also one of the few gathering places of Chinese witchcraft.No wonder the woman claimed to be from a family of witchcraft.

"Most ethnic areas in the barbaric lands still maintain the life style of the primitive farming period, and the ancient beliefs and customs are still maintained among many ethnic groups. They worship nature, ancestors, and totems. Under the control of surreal concepts Each Zhai ethnic group or branch has some kind of animal and plant totems passed down by the clan as the gods worshiped, and the idols revered by the people of this ethnic group are used as emblems and symbols to distinguish between ethnic groups. Our symbol is the fox. "The beauty in red smiled slightly, "This is also the origin of the title of fox fairy at that time."

Fan Jiannan nodded, motioning for her to continue talking.

"Under the influence of this witchcraft culture, the tribe divides the human spirit and the body into two irrelevant parts, believes that the human soul can exist independently in time and space, and believes that the souls of ancestors will not disappear and have extraordinary powers. Bless the happiness and prosperity of the tribe. Therefore, the annual ancestor worship ceremony between the tribes is not only to maintain the unity and harmony of the tribe, but also has extremely important significance in the aspect of passing on the family line for the benefit of future generations. Therefore, things like genealogy are very sacred, and no one dares to use this as a joke "The beauty in red said calmly.

"In our family's annual witchcraft activities, the props used to subdue demons and exorcise evil spirits are the rough and mysterious wooden masks with hideous faces in the original Nuo opera. Among them, the Nuo opera 'Chuo Taigu' is the most primitive and simple." Taikoo woodcarvings are made of local rhododendrons and lacquer alpine hard miscellaneous woods. The semi-finished products are blackened with fire smoke or ink pot smoke, and white lines are drawn on the face of the woodcarving with lime.

In the witchcraft scene, the Cuotai old people who wear their faces are symbolically over a thousand years old. They are all the reappearances of the souls of their ancestors. The face is not only a medium to communicate with the yin and yang worlds, but also a link between death and life. bridge.They attribute the relationship between human activities and nature to a kind of supernatural force, regard everything as animistic, and worship and support animals, plants, sun, moon, mountains, wind, cloud, thunderstorm and other natural objects or natural phenomena as gods.

And all the people in the tribe have been influenced and educated by this tradition since childhood.The gods are omnipotent, and human activities need to communicate with the gods in order to be successful. Otherwise, they will be punished by the gods, which will bring disasters, setbacks and failures to the production, life, reproduction, and life of the Zhai people, such as production failure, Sickness, death, reproductive failure, accidental injury, flood, drought, fire, etc.Therefore, various sacrifices to ancestors, totems, and gods, and various witchcraft and religious activities to communicate with gods have become indispensable major events in the life, production, and hunting of the tribe. "The beauty in red said calmly, "And that group of witchcraft not only exists in the genealogy, but also in this ancient witchcraft activity. "

"Then how did the Fox Immortal realize the particularity of this set of wuwen?" Fan Jiannan tentatively asked.

"Because of the reform and opening up in the 90s, people's ideas showed a very positive and open form. Coupled with the upsurge of Yi learning at that time, Linghu Bai became curious about this set of Maha script passed down from generation to generation in his family. At that time, No one understands this kind of shamanism. She used to get acquainted with many experts through Yixue exchanges, but only a handful of people think that this set of shamanism is related to the original spells." The beauty in red said lightly, "Of course people who understand these, Without exception, they are all performers. That's why the working group at that time came into being."

"So that's the case." Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "I thought Wei Rushan initiated and organized everything. It turns out that the original source was this fox fairy Linghu Bai."

"Wei Rushan was one of the first sorcerers who were attracted by this group of shamanism. As soon as he came into contact with this group of shamanism, he immediately contacted Linghu Bai, and used his contacts in the art world to facilitate this working group. Otherwise, with an unknown young woman like Linghu Bai, how could she recruit these elites in the art world?" The beauty in red said with a smile.

"And then?" Long asked boldly.

"Then they carried out a series of investigations and researches, almost traveled all over China's famous mountains and rivers, and verified the ancient inscriptions and ancient books. They even stayed in the Sichuan and Guizhou mountainous areas for a year or two. After collecting a lot of information Afterwards, their research finally came to fruition." said the beauty in red.

"What kind of result?" Fan Jiannan asked immediately.

"They believe that this group of witchcraft is part of some kind of large-scale witchcraft ceremony. In order to verify this, they even tried to restore this ancient witchcraft." The beauty in red looked at Zhou Kun and said, "For this, you You should understand something, Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Kun's face turned pale. He looked at Fan Jiannan and Long Bold, nodded reluctantly and said, "Yes, although I joined in the later stage. But I still know the general situation."
