One thousand five hundred seventy-seven
A small monster roared in his ears, and a sneer appeared on the witch's face. The witch was almost bitten to death by these little things just now, and new and old hatreds surged into my heart. The witch's mood was imagined, and she had long been treating these monsters.
It was hated to the core, just as the great witch said to Ling Shi, the little monsters he would be chased and fled in a panic because he was blind and could not notice what the other party was like at the first time. Now he knew the other party and dealt with it.
It was easy to get up, and the little monster's clamor fell into his ears, just the wailing of the prey before his death, which only made him feel even more excited.
Then the great witch took out a knot from his own species. The structure was very complex, like a Chinese knot or a gossip. The color was also colorful. After a closer look, Shi felt dizzy, as if the complexity was intricate.
There is an indescribable rhyme in it. Xuan Zhiyuxuan took a look at it and thought that the sky was drowned by the waves and could not understand the mystery. But this knot seemed to have some magic power that made people want to guess the mystery.
Ling Shi had to suppress the curiosity in his heart and drew his gaze back, and in horror, he asked the great witch what a magical object this was and why it was so mysterious.
The great witch said proudly: There was no written word in ancient times, and knotted ropes were used to record events. Before the appearance of the text, knotted ropes were the only tool for human records. In order to record the customs, traditions, legends and major events of the tribe and pass on them,
Then use ropes of different thicknesses to tie knots of different distances on them, and the knots are large and small. Each knot method, the distance size and the thickness of the rope represent different meanings. A special person (usually chiefs and wizards) follows certain rules.
Record and pass on from generation to generation.
This is also one of the earliest ways to communicate with God. Compared with the later sacrifices, knotted ropes to the heaven and earth communicate with God and earth, because they contain the Tao and principles between heaven and earth.
People from later generations have always been said that in order to remember one thing, ancient ancestors tied a knot on the rope. When they saw this knot, they would remember that thing. If they wanted to remember two things, they would tie two.
A knot. If he remembers three things, he will tie three knots, and so on. If he tied a lot of knots on the rope, he may not remember what he wants to remember, so this method is simple but unreliable
.
In fact, this is a misunderstanding of later generations. Knotted rope recording is a very advanced recording method compared to that era. When used in combination with language, it will have twice the result with half the effort. Once the knotted rope recording method is mastered, it will never be like
In the above situation, you will forget the meaning of a certain knot over time. The knot is actually very complicated and even more cumbersome than a modern text.
In terms of color, humans can use at least seven colors and black and white, with a total of nine colors to give their meaning.
In terms of material, ropes can be made of animal yarn ropes, bark ropes, straw ropes, hemp ropes, etc. There are dozens of categories of ropes made of various materials.
In terms of thickness, it can be divided into at least three different specifications of ropes: thick, medium, thin, and three.
From the weft and weft, there are horizontal ropes, vertical ropes, main ropes, and support ropes.
The above can form the most basic vocabulary of hundreds of knots, which can be combined to make complete and effective records. The real knot is an extremely complex process, and each completed knot is a huge and complex one.
The knot assembly is just like Ling Shi saw it. The reason why Ling Shi felt that he couldn't help but want to see it is because the knot contains a lot of information, which also contains the rhythm of heaven and earth.
This made Ling Shi involuntarily want to understand these truths. Now, few people except the witch clan know how to knot ropes and remember things.
The witch clan has always retained the habit of using knotted ropes to record spells. First, do this and do not worry about other people secretly learning the secret techniques of the witch clan. The second advantage is that knotted ropes directly communicate with the world, and the spells are more powerful. Of course, this is only for the witch.
The clan is effective, and it is useless for later Qi Refiners. His cultivation system has long been changed beyond recognition and is no longer as subtle as ever in ancient times.
The knot taken out by the great witch is a spell that records the witch tribe's ghost-exorcism and soul-controlling magic. It has miraculous effects on ghosts and is even more effective against small monsters, such as evil thoughts.
After a little gossip, after a few brief introductions from the Great Wizard and Ling Shi, he took out a fire note from his arms and threw it to Ling Shi, so that Ling Shi could ignite the knot.
Not only is the colorful knots very eye-catching, but the materials are also varied. Ling Shi saw twine, silk, and some unknown bark and wild animal fur. In general, the entire knot is combustible, Ling Shi specializes in it.
It picked up the more flammable fur and lifted it up. As soon as the sparks on the fire broker splashed onto the fluff, a layer of orange-red flame immediately ignited. The dragon and snake walked along the knot veins and the flames filled the entire body in an instant.
knot,
Feeling the burning heat from his hands, Ling Shi threw the burning knot at the little monster clamoring not far away. The moment the knot of flame fell, the little monsters ran away screaming and ran away. It seemed as if it was extremely corrupt.
It was like a swearing person, and it was particularly pleasant to Shi's ears.
Soon these little things gathered together again through the flame knot, rushing towards Ling Shi and the others to yell even more, and their clamor was even more angry. Their look was so angry that they could not helpless, which made Ling Shi just want to laugh when he saw it.
There is no doubt that the little monsters are afraid of flames. In fact, they are no different from other ghosts. They are all afraid of things that are strong and yang, but the evil spirits put a layer of shell on them so that they can walk under the sun again, but this does not mean that they are
But unscrupulous, the flames are their few nemesis. The act of making Shi throw flames at them is like walking alone on the street and someone throws them away. Uncle can tolerate them, but even aunt can't.
They jumped up and down like thunder to attack Ling Shi, but because of the powder that the great witch had sprinkled before, they could only roar around Ling Shi and others, squeaking like the sound of chewing bones, which made people creepy, on the bed.
I wonder if the evil spirit that had been twitching on the upper part was affected by the little monster, and the body was beating even harder and the wooden bed was clattering.
Two disharmonious voices intertwined, which immediately made everyone nervous. The two guards subconsciously clenched the weapons in their hands, making Shi swallowed a big mouthful, turned his head and saw the big witch looking calm and swallowed the words he had reached his mouth.
