When Chu Huan looked at it at first, he felt that the person's body looked very small. Although it was wrapped in gray cloth and linen, his body was obviously very thin. However, those eyes were indeed very sharp, and his pupils did not look very big, but they looked very energetic, as if they could see through people's hearts at a glance.

According to Guifang's etiquette, Chu Huan put his hands together. Although he was an imperial envoy in the court, he had requests from others this time. Moreover, Gui's position in Guifang was extremely high. In most cases, the person in front of him was Guifang, so he seemed quite respectful. He asked: "Is Gui's Old Man?"

The old ghost stared at Chu Huan with his eyes, sat cross-legged in the grotto, and asked back, "Do you think I don't look like me?"

Chu Huan hurriedly smiled and said, "I dare not!"

The old man Gui's voice was very gentle: "You are a master of Guifang and have goodwill to Guifang. People in Guifang have always been rewarded with kindness, so I asked you to come and meet, but I don't know why you want to see me!"

Chu Huan thought about it and finally said, "I greet you, Mr. Ghost. I came to ask Mr. Ghost to solve the problem because there were some problems in my heart that I couldn't solve them."

The ghost elder said "Oh" and asked, "How do you know I can help you solve your doubts? What is the problem in your mind?"

Chu Huan originally wanted to crack the content of the [Demon Suppression Mantra] through the ghost elder, but at this time there were many more questions in his mind. His mind was filled with countless questions, just like a net, which seemed to have a huge connection between the meridians, but it was difficult to connect them together. He didn't know if the ghost elder would really answer it for himself, but he didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity.

Chu Huan turned around, glanced at the stone sculpture of the python not far behind him, and finally asked: "Old Gui, is the totem of the python in Guifang?"

The old man in Gui's voice calmly: "The Great Python God is the ancestor of the Ghost Square. All the people in Guifang are passed down from the Great Python God, and the Great Python God is also the guardian god of my Ghost Square."

"Guardian God?"

"No," Gui Lao's voice softly, "Every ethnic group will have his protector, and Gui Fang naturally has it."

Chu Huan thought for a while and asked again: "I really want to know why the great python god is so majestic, and he is not a sword and magic weapon in his hand, but a musical instrument!"

"Sword? Magical instrument?" Old Gui smiled softly, "Dake thinks that only swords are magical instruments? Musical instruments are not magical instruments?" He sighed and said, "Why does Dake think that the great python god must have magical instruments?"

Chu Huan was stunned, but said: "Since it is a god, it is natural to protect its believers... it is naturally necessary to use magic tools!"

"What you said may be reasonable." The old man Gui seemed to dislike arguing, "Dak, are you here this time to ask about the Great Python God?"

Chu Huan said: "This is one of them. To be honest with Gui Lao, I want to know more about the noble god, the Great Python God. I heard that the ancestors of Gui Fang all came from the distant Western Regions. In the Western Regions, there was the existence of the Gui Fang Kingdom, and the belief of the Great Python God was passed down from the distant Western Regions Ghost Kingdom!"

The old ghost sighed and said, "What Dake said is right. The belief of the Great Python God was brought by the ghost from his homeland. Staying away from his homeland, they need the Great Python God to bless them here. They do not want the Great Python God to forget them, and the Great Python God has indeed never forgotten them."

Chu Huan stood outside the cave, and the old man of ghost seemed to have no intention of asking Chu Huan to sit down. However, even if Chu Huan wanted to sit down, he could only sit on the ground.

"I have heard of some things in the Western Regions." Chu Huan looked at the ghost old man who had almost shrunk into a ball, "As far as I know, there are many countries in the Western Regions, and the ghost side is just one of them. The ghost old man, but I don't know if those countries in the Western Regions all believe in the great python god?"

The old ghost stared at Chu Huan, was silent for a moment, and finally said: "The Great Python God is the unique god of the Ghost Square, and it can only protect the Ghost Square Kingdom."

"What about other countries?" Chu Huan frowned and said, "What is their faith? You said just now that every ethnic group has its protector god, and there is a python god in the ghost side. What faith does other countries have?"

The old man of Gui smiled and said, "Dake is very interested in the Western Regions? But I can't answer your questions. Although my hometown is in the Western Regions, our branch has already arrived in the Central Plains a hundred years ago. What I know is only learned from my ancestors. What should be known is what our ancestors will teach them, and what we shouldn't know will be slowly forgotten by us as time goes by."

Chu Huan sighed and said, "In this way, the old man Gui doesn't know much about the situation in the Western Regions."

The old man said, "You can think so!"

"So how much does Gui Lao know about the languages ​​of the countries in the Western Regions?" Chu Huan stared at Gui Lao, "I came here this time, but I wanted to ask Gui Lao about language issues!"

"Language?" The old man of Gui stared at Chu Huan with bright eyes, "Dake, what do you want to know from me? You might as well say bluntly. If you can help you, I will try my best to help, otherwise you will not be able to delay here for too long!"

Chu Huan thought about it, squatted down, took a small stone from the side, and then drew a "卍" symbol on the ground. The symbol was very large, and there was sunlight on the top, which was enough for the ghost to see clearly.

Chu Huan raised his head and asked, "Old Ghost, you can naturally recognize this symbol!"

The old man Gui didn't know what Chu Huan wanted, but he nodded. Chu Huan said again: "Chu wants to ask Old Man Gui, what does this symbol mean? Why does the big python god have such a symbol?"

The light in the ghost's eyes pounded, and after a slight contemplation, he finally said: "In ancient times, there was no country, only tribes, whether it was the East or the West, this was the case. Did Dake know?"

Chu Huan nodded. He knew very well about the evolution of human beings, and he also understood the evolution from a clan tribe to a state system.

"People today only think that the ability of their ancestors is not as good as that of today." Gui Lao said slowly: "Some people know that in ancient times, there were many strange magic abilities, which have disappeared and what has remained is extremely mysterious. They once had witchcraft, witchcraft, strange skills, and even talismans, and the swastika was originally a kind of talisman of the ancient tribe!"

"Tactic?"

The old man Gui nodded slightly and continued, "This symbol is truly familiar to people. It was the beginning of the Buddha's Kingdom. The swastika character existed as a symbol of Buddhist doctrine. In legend, the samsara kings who can rule the world all have thirty-two Dharma images. The Buddha is the samsara king of the Dharma and also has thirty-two Dharma images. The swastika is one of his Dharma images, which appears in the Buddha's chest, and its meaning is... Reincarnation!"

"Reincarnation?" Chu Huan was stunned. He seemed to understand it, but he still asked, "Since it is one of the thirty-two Dharma images of the Buddha, why does it appear on the body of the python god?"

The old man in Gui sighed, "Don't Dake understand yet?"

Chu Huan frowned, and the old man of Gui said, "The Great Python God is the guardian god of Buddhism. The swastika is in his chest and the Buddha is in his heart..." He stared at Chu Huan's eyes, "Don't Dake understand this truth?"

Chu Huan said in surprise: "The Great Python God is... a guardian god?"

The old man Gui just smiled and said slowly: "The guardian god of Guifang is the great python god. All the people of Guifang are servants of the Buddha. Being in the great python god means believing in Buddhism!"

Chu Huan opened her mouth and couldn't speak for a moment.

He actually didn't know the origin of the swastika character, and he once guessed that the swastika character was the code name of Buddhism, but his later experience made him doubt for a while.

Swazinichi appeared on Liu Juguang and others, but those people seemed to have nothing to do with Buddhism. Chu Huan always felt that the swastika had a great relationship with the Tianmen Dao.

But he always felt very awkward.

Buddhist symbols appear on Taoist disciples, which are always a bit inappropriate. If Liu Juguang and others are really fellow Taoists, then why do they have Buddhist symbols on them? Especially Xiao Chen, who colluded with General Mu, who is one of the seven heroes of the Tianmen Dao, and who is completely Tianmen Daoist disciple. If Xiao Chen is not a Tianmen Daoist disciple, he is really a ghost, but Xiao Chen, who is a Tianmen Daoist disciple, has a swastika, which makes Chu Huan puzzled.

The Great Python God is the guardian god. The black jade plaque in the hands of Mr. Lanshan is engraved with a statue of the Great Python God. Chu Huan even clearly remembers that the weapon used by Mr. Lanshan is similar to the flute in the hands of the Great Python God. It can be said that Mr. Lanshan has an inseparable relationship with the Great Python God. The python represents the god of Buddhism. Then Mr. Lanshan naturally has a great involvement with the Buddhism. The swastika on his chest even shows this.

As a disciple of Tianmen Taoist, Xiao Chen had a swastika on his chest and a stone tablet in his hand. Ashiduo, a disciple of the Buddhist Daxin Sect, had swastika on his chest and a stone tablet in his hand. Unidentified blue-shirted young master and tiger-patterned young master have swastika on his chest and a stone tablet in his body. The Buddhist and Taoist schools have always been clearly distinguished and never mixed together, but on this swastika, it was blurred, which made Chu Huan's mind confused.

He knew that after the founding of Qin, he believed in Taoism and rejected Buddhism. This was not because His Majesty the Emperor really had any good feelings for Taoism from the beginning, but because during the Dahua Dynasty of the previous dynasty, Buddhism was always regarded as the national religion, and Buddhism was respected from top to bottom. In order to eliminate the influence of the previous dynasty on the empire, Yingyuan erased the traces of the previous dynasty from all aspects. When compiling historical books, he would certainly let the pen officials slander the emperors of the previous dynasty greatly, and in terms of faith, he would do the opposite.

Although the empire was only twenty years old, the suppression of Buddhism was very cruel. During the period of the vassals, temples of all sizes and large in the Central Plains suffered unprecedented destruction. After the Qin State unified the world, it used various means to continue to demolish Buddhist temples and respect the Tao. The influence of Taoism rapidly expanded, and the influence of Buddhism gradually weakened.

Although Buddhism and Taoism were not close before, before the founding of Qin, there was no question of incompatibility between water and fire. Both sides were in their own affairs. Although Buddhism was at its peak in the previous dynasty, the children of Buddhists did not suppress Taoism. However, after the establishment of Qin, they might have understood the intention of His Majesty the Emperor and supported Taoism to suppress Buddhism. Therefore, Taoists were not merciless to the children of Buddhism. They built Taoist temples across the country, and even used this as a reason to demolish temple foundations. Moreover, Taoists also cooperated with the government to force Buddhist disciples to return to secular life.

After the reign of the Buddhas of the Tao, Buddhism had almost no place to establish a foothold in Qin State. The only remaining dilapidated temples were sparsely populated and desolate. Taoist children played an extremely disgraceful role in it. Therefore, the Buddhist and Taoist religions have actually accumulated grudges. Although they are both monks, they are now considered incompatible with water and fire.

However, what Chu Huan heard and saw that the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism were confused. Although he had not yet understood what the swastikas and stone tablets were, he vaguely felt that there was an unknown secret behind the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism.
