"Fifty years ago, I came here to study the unique witchcraft of the Miao people. The reason why I chose this place is because I heard that the voodoo girls in this Miao village are very good at voodoo skills, and they can use voodoo techniques to heal people.
Patients can also be used to curse people. When I came here, I met Fu Min, who was the most skilled in voodoo at that time."
Although Professor He is nearly 80 years old, he is still very passionate when talking about this past event, as if he was twenty years younger in an instant: "The witchcraft of the Miao people includes three types: witchcraft, corpse exorcism and witchcraft.
It’s incredible.”
"Professor, can you give us a brief explanation?" Bai Yi asked while secretly admiring in his heart that Qi Xie was carrying an old man on his back and could still walk quickly on the mountain road without panting or shaking his body at all.
"Let me talk about Wu Nuo first. Wu Nuo allows the Miao people to walk barefoot on the fire, go up the mountain of knives, and even stab their stomachs with steel spears. There is also a kind of sacrifice that requires blood and nails a sharp steel knife on their heads.
, then perform a sacrificial dance with a steel knife on the head, and then drive away the corpse, I think you must have heard of it more or less."
Bai Yi nodded: "Yes, I have indeed heard of it. I heard that there is still a group of corpse chasers in western Hunan."
"Yes, in fact, strictly speaking, there are black witchcraft and white witchcraft, and exorcism belongs to white witchcraft." When the professor talked about his own profession, he felt much better: "It has been passed down for thousands of years.
In the past, the ancestor of the Miao people, Apu (Miao: father-in-law) Chiyou, led his troops to fight against the enemy by the Yellow River, until corpses were everywhere. Apu Chiyou could not bear to leave his brothers who died in the battle, so he silently recited mantras and prayed to the gods.
Afterwards, he shouted loudly to the corpses: "Brothers who died, this is not a place for you to rest and die. Your death is in vain and it is really sad. My parents in my hometown are looking forward to you, and my beloved wife and young son are looking forward to your return to my hometown. I don't think you have a soul."
You must be hesitant. Urgent like a law, get up!" All the corpses originally lying on the ground suddenly stood up and walked southward in an orderly manner behind the "talisman" held high by Apuchiyou. This is a record of driving away corpses.
origin."
Bai Yi has no interest in exorcising corpses. What he wants to know most is witchcraft: "Professor He, what do you think about witchcraft?"
"I have been staying in the village for nearly a year, and I have seen Nao'er's method of making witchcraft. Of course, this is just one of them. She puts spiders, scorpions, toads, poisonous snakes, centipedes and other poisonous insects in the
In a container, it is sealed for ten days. The one that survives after opening is the most poisonous one, and it is also the first choice for poisonous poisonous insects. After being reared, it becomes the poisonous poisonous insect." Professor He was inexplicable with emotion: "It's really amazing."
"But Fu Yu said that voodoo does not only use poisonous insects as a medium. A highly skilled voodoo master can use any medium to make voodoo." Bai Yi said.
Professor He looked at Bai Yi with a half-smile but not a smile: "You are right, poisonous insects are just a kind of poisonous poison, but, young man, it seems that we are both fallen people from the end of the world."
"What's the meaning?"
"Fu Min and I are destined to have no connection, and you and Fu Yu must not be able to escape." Professor He's words made Bai Yi pale: "Professor He, there seems to be something in your words, can you make it clear?"
"Back then, Fu Min and I had been in love for a long time, but her father kept beating us up. Even Fu Min was unwilling to leave the Miao Village with me. As for you, you care so much about Fu Yu, so your relationship with her must not be the same.
Isn’t it easy? But if you come back here today, it’s natural that you didn’t make it in the first place.”
Bai Yi's heart was as heavy as a big stone: "Professor He, we are really like-minded. Fu Yu's father did exactly the same thing as Fu Min's father."
"As expected." Professor He asked Bai Yi: "Do you know why?"
