After hearing what Ye Tian said, Hu Hongde stood up, waved to his granddaughter, and said, "Xiaoxian, come with me."
The person involved was Hu Xiaoxian. Although Hu Hongde had already figured out the ins and outs of the matter, out of respect for Ye Tian, it was more appropriate for Hu Xiaoxian to explain the incident himself.
After entering the study, Hu Hongde let Ye Tian sit on the sofa, closed the door, and said, "Xiaoxian, tell Ye Tian what happened a few days ago."
Hu Xiaoxian thought for a moment and said: "I don't know what happened, I fainted out of nowhere, but before that, I went to the Beilu Mountains..."
As Hu Xiaoxian talked, the context of the matter gradually became clear in Ye Tian's mind.
Originally, the station was planning to let Hu Xiaoxian be a channel anchor, but because Hu Xiaoxian's surname was more lively, he asked to become a reporter.
However, Changbai City is located in the Changbai Mountains. Apart from the annual ginseng trade, there is rarely any valuable news. However, Hu Xiaoxian is also a stubborn person and always wants to make some achievements.
Just the day before yesterday, Hu Xiaoxian met an acquaintance who lived on her grandfather's farm and heard him talk about the recent serious poaching and smuggling of nationally protected animals, so Miss Hu became interested.
Growing up with Hu Hongde, although Hu Xiaoxian did not learn the eagle claw skills passed down from his family, he still had some self-defense skills. In addition, he was very familiar with Changbai Mountain. Hu Xiaoxian said hello to Taili and ran to the north of Changbai Mountain alone.
foothills.
However, since this poaching was stealing, of course it would not be seen in broad daylight. After wandering around the small village next to Changbai Mountain all morning, Hu Xiaoxian did not find out any valuable news.
Hu Xiaoxian was dejected and was about to go back to the city. He happened to meet an "old friend" of his grandfather. After chatting for a few words, the man said that he knew about poaching, so Hu Xiaoxian, who was not at all defensive, followed him to his house.
.
That "old friend" was naturally Meng Meng. Although Hu Hongde had a bad relationship with Meng Meng, he had never told the younger generation about these things, so Hu Xiaoxian had always regarded Meng Meng as an elder.
Hu Xiaoxian had dinner at Meng Xiazi's house at noon that day, but when she asked about the poachers, Meng Xiazi was hesitant and refused to say more.
Later, when Hu Xiaoxian asked him anxiously, Meng Xiazi suddenly said that he could dance to the great master. This was also a folk art and could make Hu Xiaoxian a news broadcast. Hu Xiaoxian thought so and asked Meng Xiazi to dance for a while. She wanted to see it.
Is this material suitable?…
Blind Meng agreed immediately, took out a bamboo pole tied with a cloth strip and stuck it at the door, then he started dancing with a sheepskin drum in his hand.
Although Hu Xiaoxian had also seen other people perform the great dance, Meng Xiazi's ancient singing tune left her with endless memories. Especially when Meng Xiazi asked the god to take over her body, Hu Xiaoxian felt a chill all over her body.
At that time, Hu Xiaoxian thought it was caused by fear in his heart, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Instead, he enthusiastically discussed the material of the jump master with Blind Meng, and did not return to the TV station until about two o'clock in the afternoon.
But when Hu Xiaoxian walked to the door of the TV station, he suddenly felt dizzy and lost consciousness. As for what happened in the past few days, he heard it from his parents.
"Grandpa, Meng...is Grandpa Meng really a bad person?"
Until now, Hu Xiaoxian still doesn't believe that her coma was caused by Meng Xiazi. After all, when she saw Meng Xiazi since she was a child, he always looked like a kind elder.
Hu Hongde didn't want his granddaughter to know the dirty things Blind Meng had done in the past, so he waved his hand and said, "You are still young and you don't know some things. Okay, you go out and greet your classmates, and I will talk to Ye Tian."
"It's so mysterious, I don't want to hear it yet." Hu Xiaoxian made a face at his grandfather and left the study angrily.
After Hu Xiaoxian went out, Ye Tian's expression became serious and he said, "Old Hu, tell me about Blind Meng. Which sect does he inherit his skills from?"
This is the first time Ye Tian has encountered a magician in the country. Although the opponent's skills are far inferior to his, it also makes Ye Tian more wary. The world is so big that there may not be any real masters?
"Blind Meng's grandfather once served as the royal shaman of the last emperor. I heard from my father that their family passed down shamanic witchcraft. When I was a child, I saw his grandfather perform the great dance.
It’s just that Blind Meng’s father didn’t seem to have learned this, and I don’t know where Blind Meng learned it from. It should be an inheritance left by his family, and Blind Meng figured it out on his own.”
When Meng Xiazi's father was a child, Hu Hongde had a lot of contacts with the Meng family, so he knew the situation of his family very well. After Meng's father was shot, the relationship between the two families gradually deteriorated.
After hearing what Hu Hongde said, Ye Tian said to himself: "His magic is very strange. I don't know what kind of power he borrowed, but it is definitely not the ordinary vitality of heaven and earth. Are there really fox fairies and ghosts in this world?"
Ye Tian's vitality and strength were all obtained by his own hard work. He had never thought that there was such a way to get something for nothing, and the vitality that competed with him yesterday was something Ye Tian had never seen before.
of.
"Where are there any gods and ghosts?"
Hu Hongde, who has lived in the mountains all his life, was somewhat dissatisfied with Ye Tian's words, "When I was a child, I saw my father getting possessed by a god. He started to feel like he was having epilepsy, but after taking over he was no different from before. If it was really a ghost, I'm sure
You can see it."
When Hu Hongde was a child, he was unwilling to practice the techniques of the Sun and Moon Dao because the way he looked when praying to the gods was too funny. The young man was afraid of losing face, but now it is too late to regret.
"Are there different kinds of energy in this world? Yes, that must be the case!"
After Ye Tian thought hard for a long time, it suddenly dawned on him that he was practicing Taoist mental methods and using the yin and yang of heaven and earth, but this was only a Taoist theory.
What Buddhism talks about is the power of faith. The faith of millions of believers can be combined to create a golden Buddha and achieve enlightenment. This is completely different from the Taoist theory.
The West believes in Jesus, while Islam believes in Allah. These are contrary to Taoist theories, but they do not prevent them from developing followers. There must be their secrets.
Shamanism emerged very early. It was originally the most popular sect in the three northeastern provinces, including Mongolia, but was later gradually replaced by Tibetan Buddhism.
But this does not obliterate the existence of shamanism. The mystery in the ancient sect is just not known to the world.
Just like the European black magic that Ye Tian encountered before, that kind of evil curse power, although he could crack it, he couldn't understand its secrets.
Ye Tian pondered for a while, raised his head and looked at Hu Hongde, and asked: "Old Hu, are there any successors to this shamanism??"
Shamanism was able to become the state religion of the Qing court in its earliest days. Although it has declined now, Ye Tian believes that its inheritance is still there. He wants to find out if Meng Xiazi has any helpers?
Hu Hongde shook his head and said: "I know a lot of great dancers, but it seems that only Blind Meng has some skills, and the others are all charlatans!"
The scientific name for dancing the great gods is called shamanic dance, but there are many people in the Northeast Association who are skilled in this skill. Hu Hongde knows at least 180 of them, but as far as he knows, the only one who can really invite the gods to his body is Meng Xiazi.
"Alas, Qimen Jianghu is really about to disappear."
After hearing Hu Hongde's words, Ye Tian breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little desolate. The ancient inheritance had been wiped out one by one, which made him feel like a rabbit was dead and a fox was sad.
"Old Hu, how is Blind Meng like a person?" Ye Tian asked in a deep voice. He didn't really want to kill all the Qimen after the Qi Clan fell into decline.
"What kind of person is Blind Meng?"
Hu Hongde snorted and said, "If it weren't for his father's sake, I would have killed him long ago. Damn it, this old boy has killed people and stolen goods. What has he never done?"
Hu Hongde's father had just passed away thirty years ago, and before he had any quarrel with Meng Xiazi, he had witnessed Meng Xiazi murdering an old ginseng customer and snatching ginseng from his hands in the Changbai Mountains.
The ancestors of Hu Hongde and Meng Xiazi were both engaged in the business of killing people and selling goods. Hu Hongde grew up in a bandit den when he was a child. In addition, he did not know the guest, so he warned Meng Xiazi a few words and put this matter aside.
The matter has been revealed.
However, in the next twenty years, news of the deaths of ginseng collectors could often be heard in the Changbai Mountains, including some people whom Hu Hongde knew.
At that time, Hu Hongde suspected that he was in love with Meng Xiazi. Once he followed Meng Xiazi into the mountains and found out that he was killing the guests. This time, Hu Hongde was furious and almost started fighting with Meng Xiazi.
After this incident, Meng Xiazi restrained himself, but the two families never had contact with each other again. Hu Xiaoxian only met Meng Xiazi a few times when he was very young, so he didn't know about the grudge between his grandfather and him.
But even Hu Hongde didn't know that the reason why Blind Meng hated him was because after his father died when he was young, the Hu family stopped supporting his family during that period.
After telling the story of the enmity between himself and Blind Meng, Hu Hongde said: "Ye Tian, Blind Meng is a very small-minded person, and he will retaliate. He suffered a loss in the fight with me, and he will definitely not give up."
"Lao Hu, what's the matter? Are you playing tricks on me?"
Hearing Hu Hongde's words, Ye Tian's face showed a half-smile, "I'll pat my butt and go back to the capital. Blind Meng will only cause trouble for you. What does it have to do with me?"
"Ahem, Ye Tian, I didn't mean that." Hu Hongde's old face turned red at Ye Tian's words. After seeing Ye Tian's ability to cast spells, he became a little more fearful.
