"Maybe I'm not dead yet, I still have a glimmer of hope for them!" said the blind immortal.

"If this continues, it will sooner or later harm you." The Nine-tailed Cat said unhappily.

The sharp sword in the Nine Heavens took out the jade pendant, and with a bite of his finger, a blood mark appeared on the jade pattern.

"Eliminate the text---start!"

A faint light swept across the jade pendant, and many extremely small words appeared in the patterns. This article is a ghost book!

Ghost book, also known as vanishing, water book, and anti-book, is a text written for dead people to read.

It is said that "Shuiwen" was created by a man named Lu Duogong.

In a remote village, the local Aquarius sang an ancient folk song in Buyi and Water, which translated into a common term: "There is an old man named Lu Duo who lives in a cave all seasons. He creates words on bluestone slabs to measure good or bad luck. All good times are given to people. When he builds his own house, there is no good day in the book, so he has no choice but to live in the cave. If you ask where the deep cave is, it is in Shuiyan and Shuidong."

There are more than 500 characters that have been used to continue. People have found that the different characters are mainly concentrated in single characters such as the twelve earthly branches, spring, summer, autumn and winter, heavenly stems, and nine stars. For example, there are more than 30 different characters with the characters "Yin, Mao" and other characters.

Regarding the different characters of the aquatic characters, it is conservatively speculated that if each single character of the water character has at least one different character, then the total number of water characters is about 1,600.

Deep in the mountains of the primeval forest, nearly 40,000 aquatic people lived for generations.

When we enter these water conservancy and aquatic towns, Shuiyao Shui Township and other water people's settlements that are mainly distributed in the original forest areas, we enter a mysterious "water book" world.

Shui Book is an ancient cultural symbol used by the ancestors of the Shui people, similar to oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions, recording the astronomy, geography, folk customs, religion, ethics, philosophy, aesthetics, law, anthropology, etc.

"Shui Shu" is equivalent to the "Yi" of the Chinese nation. Its content is profound and profound. It is an encyclopedia of the Shui people and an important part of the Chinese nation's cultural treasure house.

"Shui Shu" is also known as "ghost book" and "anti-book". One of them refers to its structure. Although some characters imitate Chinese characters, they are basically written in reverse, inverted or change the writing style of these characters.

Why is the text of "Shuishu" different from Chinese characters? Its writing style is opposite to it. These questions make people puzzled.

The second is: in ancient times, the ancestors of the Shui tribe were persecuted by the ruling class. According to legend, their ancestor "Lu Duogong" created "ghost books" to oppose and retaliate against the rulers.

The aquatic race is a nation that advocates ghosts and gods.

The aquarium believe that whether it is the ancestors' undead, animals, plants, or some natural objects and natural phenomena, including mountains, stones, caves, water, wind, rain, thunder, electricity, etc., all have souls due to the possession of some "ghost" or "gods", and these souls will never die. When a certain object does not exist, its soul will be transferred to other objects.

The objects of worship of the Aquarius are mainly divided into two categories: one is ghost and the other is god.

Any soul that is dark, backward, negative, and unfavorable to the people is a ghost, and any soul that is bright, advanced, and positive, and beneficial to the people is a God.

In general, God can not only bless mankind, but also punish those who make mistakes, but ghosts often harm mankind.

Water Book is the integration of various ghosts, various taboos and various methods of warding off evil spirits and exorcising ghosts. The funerals, sacrifices, marriages, construction, travel, divination, festivals, production, etc. of the Water Book, are all restricted by Water Book.

Therefore, in the social life of the aquarium, water books have a wide role and an important position.

Most of the records in the Water Book are dates, directions, good and bad signs and signs of primitive religious beliefs, and methods to drive away ghosts and evil spirits. Generally, the year is suitable, the month is suitable, the month is suitable, and the day is suitable, and the time is avoided. The songs or signs of things are used to indicate the good and bad signs of it. Therefore, it is mostly used as a tool for wizards to perform rituals.

It is just because the water race believes in ghosts and gods that water books are very useful.

The unique function of Water Book has promoted the generational inheritance of the worship of ghosts and gods of the Aquatic race.

In the Aquarium, the Aquarium people who can understand and read and use water books are called "ghost masters". They are all men, have a high status among the people and are worshipped by people.

"Shui Shu" is an extremely precious treasure passed down by the "Ghost Master". It is only passed down to men but not women, and it is generally not easily passed to outsiders.

Water Book is circulated through oral and hand-copying generations of ghost masters.

All activities of the worship of ghosts and gods in the water race, whether it is to determine the good or bad of things, to determine the cause of ghosts, to expel ghosts, or to ward off disasters and beg for blessings, are found by the ghost master from the water books.

Therefore, in all activities of worship of ghosts and gods in the aquarium, it is necessary to use the water books as a medium to perform.

Therefore, in the phenomenon of ghost worship in the aquarium witch culture, water books are textbooks, and ghost teachers are teachers.

The combination of ghost masters and water books is the bond that maintains the primitive religious belief of the Aquarium - the world of ghosts and gods, and is a material factor in the inheritance of witch culture, and maintains this mysterious world for the enduring enduring.

In addition to containing a large amount of original religious content, the water book also preserves astronomical phenomena, calendar materials and ancient aquatic text materials that need to be excavated and deciphered.

The astronomical phenomena and calendar materials reflected in water books are extremely precious historical and cultural contents.

Some of its basic theories, such as the Nine Stars, Twenty-Eight Constellations, Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces, Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, Sun and Moon Five Stars, Yin and Yang Five Elements, Sixty Jiazi, Four Seasons and Five Directions, Seven Yuan Calendar System, and Jianxu in the First Month of the Water Calendar, are the crystallization of the advanced wisdom and art of the ancestors of the Water Clan. It contains scientific philosophical ethics and dialectical materialist historical view, and has a brilliant page in the history of Chinese culture.

"Ghost Master" divides water books into two categories in terms of purpose and function. One is "white books", which is mainly used for funerals, sacrifices, production, travel, house construction, business, marriage and divination. The other is "black books", also known as "water books secrets", and there are very few ghost teachers who can master this book.

Black books are mainly used to "release ghosts" and "repel ghosts".

According to legend, whenever outsiders enter the aquarium village, they must abide by the law, and are worried that if they do bad things, they will be possessed by the ghost master.

As long as a ghost master knows someone's birth date, or obtains a piece of hair, or obtains a piece of clothing and other items on his body, he can perform "release ghosts". When someone is possessed by "release ghosts", he must ask another ghost master to remove the ghost, which is called "retreat ghosts". Moreover, the magic of the ghost master invited must be higher than that of the ghost master who "release ghosts", so that the ghost can return to the ghost master who "release ghosts", and the ghost master who releases ghosts will perish because the ghosts they release harm him.

If the ghost master invited by the ghost releaser is lower than the ghost master who releases the ghost, then the ghost master who is released will not be able to "retreat the ghost" and will be harmed by the ghost you release and die.

The mysterious symbols of Xia Tao found the same written records in the Shui Book, that is, there are more than ten identical characters found in the twenty-four Xia Tao Shui Books. The text of the Shui Books is used to decipher some Xia Tao symbols. This ancient ethnic minority character symbol may be a lineage of the remains of Xia culture, and will help to resolve the troubles and identify the Xia Tao symbol as a primitive character.

For a long time, people have studied and believed that there are only more than 400 ancient characters in Water Book, but more than 800 characters have been found, including more than 1,200 different characters.

The ancestors of the Shui people should come from the north and then migrate south.

The water villages in the primeval forest mountainous areas, the mysterious water books, the living habits and primitive social traditions of the Aqua people who must first ask gods for ghosts in everything, and the hundreds of ghosts and gods will make outsiders linger and have infinite reverie.

"Water Book" may reveal the origins of the Aquatic race and the Chinese nation.

The Aquarius was paralleled with the development of the Chinese nation at least during the Xia and Shang dynasties, and the ancestors of the Aquarius already existed in primitive society.

Water books and oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions have a "marriage relationship", or that the Chinese ethnic group includes the ancestors of the water race.

The mystery of water books lies in "ancient" and "anti-" .

Shui language calls Shui books "Lisui". Shui originates from Chinese language and is a remains of the mother tongue; Sui is the pronunciation of the Shui people from ancient times to the present, and is a mark that originated in the Sui River Basin.

Some people call "anti-books" but not rebellious books. The "anti-books" of "anti-books" are manifested in several aspects:

First, the structure of some water characters is the opposite of that of the Chinese characters of the Earthly Branches. For example, the characters "Zi, Chou, Wu, Jiu, Wu" and other characters can also be written in reverse, outlined, and inverted, and many patterns even take the reverse as correct.

Second, the concept is opposite, and the consciousness is strong. The original intention of creating water books is to understand ghosts and gods, explore mystery, deal with ghosts and gods, and communicate with ghosts and gods, with the goal of "shocking the world and weeping ghosts and gods".

Third, the order of the months of the Water Book and the calendar of the Huaxia people is misaligned.

The end of the year of the water calendar is the first month of the new year, which corresponds to the eighth and nineth months of the Xia calendar.

Fourth, the reflection of the rebellious psychology of the aquatic race.

In ancient times, it was strictly forbidden to organize folk calendars.

From the history of forced migration of the Shui ancestors, especially the persecution and cruel events, they will leave behind painful signs of the struggle of the Shui ancestors.

The writing of the Shui people and the Dongba language of the Naxi people are the last hieroglyphs to "live" in the world.

Water Book is a script symbol system similar to oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions. It is a classic that records ancient astronomy, geography, religion, and law of the Aquarium. It is mainly copied by hand and orally transmitted, and is known as the "living fossil" of hieroglyphs.

The structure of the Aquarium characters is roughly the following three types: one is pictographic characters, some of which are similar to oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions; the other is imitating the Chinese characters, that is, writing in reverse, writing inverted or changing the form, and the third is religious characters, which means various password symbols representing the original religion of the Aquarium.

The writing form is written vertically from right to left, without punctuation marks.

The main carriers of ancient Aquarium characters include: oral transmission, hand-copying, inscriptions, woodcuts, ceramic forging, etc.

Because the structure of water books is mostly pictograms, they are mainly written and described by flowers, birds, insects, fish and other things in nature, as well as some totems such as dragons, and still retain the information of ancient civilizations and are still widely used in aquarium areas.

Water books are an inherent culture of the Shui people. Water books have their own unique writing system and are an inseparable important part of the ancient Chinese culture. Although this writing system seems very "innocent" and fragile, it can travel through time and space and spread to the world, which itself seems very mysterious.

The amount of information stored in the water books has far exceeded the scope of the aquatic society. Some information contained in the water books can help unravel the connotation of ancient Chinese culture.

Water books have a sacred and noble status in the aquatic society.

The inheritance of it and the ancient Shui characters is generally carried out through two ways by hand-copying, namely, ancestral inheritance and selecting disciples to teach.

No matter which one it is, it is only passed on to men but not women.

For water books, even if they are broken bamboo slips, no one can cross, sit or step on them.

The ghost masters are invited to attend the festivals, weddings, creations, travels, ancestor worship and other activities in the water village.

The ghost master is called "Mr. Shuishu", and is the one who can understand "Shuishu" and "can talk to ghosts and gods", and is also called "Shiren".

People praised them as "Mr.", which showed their respect.

Since Shuishu is mainly copied by Mr. Shuishu and has been passed down orally to this day, Mr. Shuishu is an important carrier of its inheritance.

It can be said that the mind of every "Shuishu Mr." is a "living treasure house" of aquatic cultural knowledge.

After becoming a Shuishu master, you must rely on Shuishu to serve your tribe and make a fortune and bad fortune.
