050 The art of infirmity

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

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

eager.

Gu Fengchun lowered his head and said nothing, searching for memories related to this Yu people in his mind. After a while, he slowly said: "To talk about this Yu people, we have to start with the Bo people."

Regarding the Yu people, he had read some records from an isolated notebook novel from the Song Dynasty. It recorded some customs, customs and legends in some southwest areas during the pre-Qin period. Most of them were absurd and could not withstand scrutiny, so they could not withstand scrutiny.

I never paid much attention to it. There is a part in it that says that there is a Bo ethnic group between Bashu and Shu. After their death, the people of this ethnic group are not buried in the ground like in the Central Plains. Instead, they dig holes in the cliffs and use rafters as piles to put the coffins of the deceased.

Hang it high. The Bo people are probably the people who invented cliff burials in the Bashu region.

Experts and scholars have not yet concluded the reason why the Bo people go to great lengths to store the coffins of the deceased on the cliffs. However, the notebook novels say: the Bo people sacrifice to heaven and regard heaven as their respect. I believe

After death, the soul will go to heaven, so the higher it is from the sky, the greater the possibility of the soul ascending. Therefore, in order for the ancestors to ascend smoothly, future generations are sparing no effort to build a towering burial for their ancestors.

But now, we don’t know where to start. This method of cliff burial has been lost.

The Bo people are tall. According to current weights and measures, they should be about 1.9 to 2.34 meters (taller than Dayao, Khan). They are very powerful, but their ability to reproduce does not seem to be very good, and their number is not large.

They would often attack the territories of other tribes, seize 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 clan pursued them.

As a result, they caught up with the Bo people in northern Yunnan, and the two sides launched a final decisive battle. As a result, the Bo people were defeated miserably and withdrew from the stage of history. The Bo people as they were called in history were actually no longer the original Bo people, but the Bai people.

The ancestors of the Bo tribe before the rise of the Cancong tribe, they almost swept across the entire Bashu region, and their most powerful fighting power was not the strong warriors of the Bo tribe, but a kind of witchcraft.

This kind of witchcraft is called Guixu, which can make people become immortal and in a rigid state. However, after being instructed by the wizard, they will become extremely brave and advance on the battlefield. In modern terms,

Say, this is the walking dead.

When Gu Fengchun said this, he felt a chill in his heart. He couldn't help but think of those people who had been poisoned by fennel strawberry before. Didn't they also become like walking zombies? And they also mutated into terrifying monsters. Could this disease be the same as fennel strawberry?

What are the close connections between grass and grass?

Gu Fengchun went on to say that this kind of witchcraft cannot be broken. People who are affected by witchcraft are generally called people. They can only be controlled by the wizard to carry out activities, and they often cannot distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. Except for the controlled wizard, as long as they see

Living people would be hunted. The wizards had to use their own blood mixed with a unique potion to mark the foreheads of their own people. After the blood stains of this mark were cleaned, they would still leave faint traces until

It takes a month after the death of the wizard to completely disappear. Anyone with this mark will not be attacked by the Xue people. This method uses the blood of the wizard to maintain the safety of the tribe, so it is called "blood atonement".

However, the life span of a wizard is often much shorter than that of the evil being under his control. Once the wizard dies, the evil being will gradually lose control. Therefore, witches can only use unique methods to control the evil being under their control before death.

Otherwise, you have to perform a dangerous ritual, injecting your own blood into your descendants, so that your aura can continue to control the Fu people. This ritual is usually performed by the eldest son. The whole ritual is very dangerous and will cause

Put the eldest son among the people, and the old wizard will infuse his own blood into the eldest son in a unique way. If the people reject the new master, then the resentment accumulated by the people over the years will be vented against the new owner.

, it can tear the new owner into pieces in an instant. At that time, the population was sparse, and the plundered slaves were physically strong. There were not many suitable to be a Xue people, and it was not easy to refine. The Xue people were a very precious wealth in the tribe.

, so the Bo people generally choose the most dangerous way to preserve the tribe's property.

As the saying goes, success depends on failure, and the reason why the Bo people declined so quickly is that the method of refining the Bo people was too cruel, which aroused the hatred of other tribes. Under the call of the Cancong tribe, the Bo people

The Bo people were besieged by many tribes, and it happened to be a rainy day. At this time, an accident occurred during the transition of the abilities of the new and old wizards to the Bo people. The Bo people suffered heavy casualties from the backlash of the Bo people's army, and they were also attacked by the allied forces.

Under Jun's attack, they were unable to resist, so the entire tribe had to move to northern Yunnan in an attempt to escape from Bashu and establish a new territory. After it was stabilized in the future, they could seek revenge.

Unexpectedly, Cancong, the leader of the Cancong tribe, is a wise leader. He has long understood the Bo people's strategy of retreating in order to advance. He also knows that the Bo people are very strange and unpredictable. If he can calm down and build a powerful

The Bo people's army, and the Bo people were originally barbaric and good at fighting, then the tribes of the alliance would have to face annihilation. So Cancong continued to lead the tribe to continue to hunt down the Bo people in the high mountains, and finally wiped out the main force of the Bo people.

Returning in triumph among the vast mountains.

This note is very exciting in the novel, but there is no mention of anything similar in the official history, so Gu Fengchun has always regarded it as a fabrication. You know, there is only one "Huayang" about the ancient history between Bashu and Bashu.

There is some detail in "National Records", but most of them can only be read as fairy tales. Historians have far from paid real attention to the historical information contained in them. As for the notebook novels written by later generations, they are not even credible.

Not to mention that most experts and scholars turn a blind eye. Even the new school like Gu Fengchun, who prefers to get into trouble, doesn’t pay much attention to these records.

Gu Fengchun made a gesture to Gu Zhenting, indicating that he needed some time to sort out these clues; if he clarified these clues, he might be able to discover something from them.

Zhou Dingxuan broke into a cold sweat when he heard it. He sighed: "This must be true. This blind spot will be recorded in an unknown notebook novel."
