Xiangxi is a place that ordinary people talk about with disgrace, and cultivators dare not set foot in it.
There are many factors why this place has become a special place in the world, such as geographical factors, cultural factors, and some issues left over from history.
Western Hunan has been under the jurisdiction of Jiannan Road among the Eighteen Roads of Central Kyushu since ancient times. It is located at the junction of Hunan, Jaw, Guizhou and Shu. It is mountainous and forested. Yueyang City, the largest and most prosperous city in Western Hunan, is adjacent to the Five Lakes.
The largest lakeside is Dongting Lake.
Here, the Han people do not have an absolute dominant advantage. The Miao, Li, Zhuang, Tu and other ethnic groups also live together here all year round. Xiangxi is not just the four corpse exorcism families of Liu, Wang, Sun and Qian as outsiders know.
There is no cultivation sect. Taoist sects still have some foundation here, especially the Taoist sects of the Maoshan series, which have a certain foundation here, such as Laojun Temple and Jiugong Temple, both of which are in western Hunan.
Inside.
The four major families in Xiangxi are famous all over the world for raising corpses and exorcising corpses. It sounds like what they practice is related to the corpse path of the dead practiced by Xuan Ying. In fact, it is not the case. The magic in Xiangxi has nothing to do with the Nine Yin and Nine Yang, but the ancient method.
The witchcraft of Jiuli people.
According to legend, a long time ago, the Middle Earth was composed of many tribes, the most powerful of which were the Huaxia tribe in the Huangyan River Basin in the north and the Jiuli tribe in the Yangtze River Basin in the south.
At that time, Chi You, the leader of the Jiuli tribe, wanted to dominate the world, so he led hundreds of tribes from the Yangtze River Basin to the north, known as the Alliance of Hundred Tribes. The leader of the Huaxia tribe, named Huangdi Xuanyuan, organized the northern tribes to fight against Chi You. They fought scatteredly for decades.
, after all, the Jiuli Clan is more powerful, relying on some wild beasts, strange monsters in southern Xinjiang, and some masters of the witch clan such as the God of War Xingtian, the Twelve Witch Clan, etc., in the two river basins.
gain the upper hand in the struggle between them.
The Battle of Zhuolu is a battle destined to be recorded in the annals of human history forever, involving almost all the major forces in the world.
The Black Emperor and Chi You allied themselves, and Yan Emperor led the Yan tribe warriors to join the Xuanyuan clan. The two sides launched a brutal tug-of-war on the Zhuolu Plain. Due to the death of the God of War Xingtian at the hands of Jiutian Xuannv, the Jiuli tribe alliance was demoralized, and finally the demon
Emperor Chi You was captured alive by the Yellow Emperor and Yan Emperor. Chi You was an indestructible body that could not be cut by a knife or broken into pieces by a chariot. In the end, the Xuanyuan Divine Sword was used to cut off the head and limbs, dividing the body into two parts.
Six parts.
In order to prevent the demon emperor from resurrecting from the dead and causing trouble to the world again, Huangdi and Yandi negotiated and sealed Chiyou's stumps in six places in Kyushu.
It is said that Chi You's head was sealed in the Dongting Lake area of his hometown in western Hunan. The Jiuli tribe was defeated in that year, but after all, some tribesmen still inherited it. Most of the Jiuli tribe members were driven to the Shiwanda Mountains further south, while a small number of tribesmen were
They secretly settled in Xiangxi, guarding the heads of their Demon Emperor ancestors, imagining the Demon Emperor's rebirth, and leading
They fight against the world again.
Unfortunately, day after day, year after year, tens of thousands of years have passed, and the Demon Emperor Chi You has not been reborn. The world has also undergone tremendous changes in the vicissitudes of life. The Han people of Yanhuang China who won the Battle of Zhuolu have become the dominant force.
The power of Middle-earth.
With the increase in population, the mountainous and forested Xiangxi has gradually integrated into the Han people and culture.
In order to prevent being hunted down by the Han people, those Jiuli tribes who have lived in seclusion in western Hunan for many years are really divided into nine surnames, all of which are Han surnames. They are Liu, Wu, Qian, Zhao, Ling, Wang, Su, Sun, and Li. These are
After a long period of evolution, the nine major clans have almost merged with the Han and Miao people. Today, the four major corpse-killing families in western Hunan, Liu, Wang, Sun, and Qian, all say that they are descendants of the Jiuli tribe, and they practice the ancient Jiuli tribe.
There are some mysterious witchcrafts passed down from legend, but as for these four major families
It has long been impossible to verify whether they are descendants of the Jiuli people. The birth of witchcraft in the world is related to Xiangxi, and its development is related to southern Xinjiang. The reason why southern Xinjiang witchcraft scares cultivators is because of the descendants of the Jiuli people who retreated.
The Jiuli people brought the witchcraft of the Jiuli tribe to southern Xinjiang, and merged it with the witchcraft born in southern Xinjiang, which gave rise to the witchcraft and witchcraft of southern Xinjiang today.
technique.
After flying from Hanyang City, Yang Jiu crossed the Qixing Mountains in western Hunan in just over an hour. Junshan Mountain, located on the southern edge of Dongting Lake, was visible in the distance.
Along the way, she couldn't help but think of some of her knowledge of Xiangxi in the past ten years. Laojun looked at Junshan Mountain. About thirty miles south of Junshan Mountain, there was a huge valley connecting the Qixing Mountains, which was the Four Great Corpses.
It is the hometown of one of the Liu family. It is said that the Liu family has spread all over Xiangxi. Their strength is extraordinary. No matter how conceited Yang Jiu is, he would not dare to cross Junshan.
, just flying north of Junshan.
A ray of blue light fell in front of a dilapidated Taoist temple. This is a typical Taoist temple in Maoshan. It looks like a poor man at first glance. The stone steps in front of the mountain have been pulverized, and the Taoist temple houses are also dilapidated. They have no appearance at all.
It is as grand as Cangyun Sect, a Taoist sect.
There were two little Taoist boys in front of the mountain gate, holding brooms that were taller than them. They were cleaning the snow in front of the door. When they saw Yang Jiu suddenly falling from the sky, the two little Taoist boys looked over at the same time.
It was obvious that these two little Taoist boys were not of high cultivation. They were wearing thick blue cotton-padded jackets and had a lot of cold noses and tears.
A little Taoist boy came forward and said: "This fairy, I wonder why you come to the temple?"
Yang Jiujiu glanced at the dilapidated Laojun Temple and said, "I am Yang Jiujiu, a disciple of the Cangyun Sect. I want to find Taoist Xuanguang. I wonder if he can be found in the temple?"
The little Taoist boy said: "It turns out that I am a fellow Taoist from Cangyun Sect. Fairy came at the right time. Master Xuanguang has been traveling abroad all year round. He just came back a while ago and is currently observing. Fairy, please come with me."
Yang Shijiu felt suspicious in his heart. Could it be that he had guessed wrong? Is there really a Xuanguang Taoist in Laojun Temple?
The death of the third brother-in-law must have something to do with the hundred jars of bamboo leaf greens. It must not be a coincidence that the Xuanguang Taoist passed by the Yang Mansion and asked his father to cremate the third brother-in-law.
Could it be that this humble Laojun Temple really has the guts to participate in the Cangyun Sect’s poisoning incident? If Cangyun Sect wants to kill this little Taoist temple, they don’t even have to take action themselves. Are these Taoist priests in Laojun Temple?
Are you tired of living?
Yang Jiu was full of vigilance, and slowly grasped the hilt of the Qingfeng sword with her palm. She was a skilled and brave person, so even if there was any danger, she thought she could still kill her.
The little Taoist boy introduced Yang Jiujiu into the mountain gate, and a young Taoist priest wearing a green robe came towards him. He couldn't help but be startled when he saw Yang Jiujiu.
Said: "Fairy Yang?"
Yang Jiu looked at this young Taoist priest who looked a little familiar. He should have seen it before, but he couldn't remember it for a while. The young Taoist priest said: "I am a poor Taoist in Qingcheng, and my Taoism is low. Naturally, the fairy will not recognize me. Half a year ago, Zheng Mo
During the war, Pindao also went deep into the wilderness to subjugate demons and protect the Tao, and he once saw Fairy Yang displaying her great power."
