015. The Pattern of Ritualism (Part 2)

The middle-aged man picked up the branch with a piece of barbecue again, gently dusted his sleeves, placed the wine jar and cup between him and the tiger's wig. Gong Ye, who was kneeling there, was instantly removed by a force. Gong Ye was pouring wine, but his body was inexplicably moved to the back, but the wine did not spill out.

It was a hillside with shallow grass, and the weeds on the ground disappeared instantly. They mixed with the soil on the surface and turned into fine sand-like powder. The two-foot-meter-square-meter ground became flat as water. The middle-aged man inadvertently showed another terrifying magical power, but he was not deliberately showing some means, but to do something else.

只见他以树枝在地上轻轻地画了几道弯曲的纹路,然后笑呵呵地问道:“孩子,认识这是什么吗?”

Not only Huwa, Gong Yan, Hou Gang and Panhu all stretched their necks to watch. Huwa lowered his head and looked at it for a long time, then nodded and said, "Well, I will know you when I look horizontally. This is one of the runes, one of the eight trigrams drawn by Emperor Taihao, and it is called Kan. It not only contains the mathematics of knot ropes, but also symbolizes water, and also contains the principles of flow in all things."

The middle-aged man continued to ask with satisfaction: "It seems that the elder has taught you these things, but he probably hasn't taught this... Look again and tell me what I recognized or what I thought of?"

While speaking, he drew something with a branch next to the "water pattern". The tiger widow was slightly stunned and then smiled. Although the patterns carved on the ground were very simple, which symbolized such a shape and meaning, the things were easy to guess because the real thing was placed next to it, and that wine jar.

The middle-aged man's words have divine thoughts, which is definitely not asking him to guess the wine jar, but the runes on the ground symbolize something, just like playing a game with him. This kind of gameplay is understandable by the tiger kid, because he has also seen many totems, all symbolizing something with abstract runes.

Huwa replied with a smile: "You first drew the water pattern, and then drew this wine jar next to the water pattern. At first glance, you knew it was wine. Aren't we drinking it? Who can't guess this!"

Gong Ye interrupted weakly, "So it means wine, I didn't guess it."

Huwa waved his hand: "That's because you didn't drink."

The middle-aged man still laughed and said, "Why don't you say it's because she is stupid?... So, how do you feel like this?" He blinked his fingers and smoothed the water marks next to the wine jar.

Huwa narrowed his eyes and said, "What I thought of is wine. What I saw is not only the shape of this jar, but more importantly, I thought of - what is this jar used for?"

The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, OK. OK, very good!" He said a few times, then looked at Huwa and said, "Child, let's change the way of playing. I'll come first, and then you come again."

He blinked his fingers and smoothed the pattern just now, and then carefully drew things on the ground. The tiger's feeling changed instantly, and he gathered his mind and sat upright on the side to watch. Because every trace of the branch was drawn on the ground, it carried a strange divine thought. He could confirm at this moment that the middle-aged man's cultivation was not only at six realms, but at least at seven realms. As for how high it might be, he couldn't explain it clearly.

Because the magical means used by middle-aged people are not directly printed into the tiger's soul, but are given various patterns drawn on the ground.

On the walls of Lu Village, there are also many patterns portrayed by tribes of all generations. Most of the patterns are simple but vivid, and they can identify various birds and beasts in the mountains, as well as scenes when people hunt. The wilderness depicts these. They are expressed with a kind of expectation, hoping that the gods can protect them and successfully capture various prey in the mountains.

When Huwa was a child, he often stared at these marks in a daze, as if he could vaguely feel the runes, or the feelings his ancestors who carved them, at that time, conveyed something to future generations.

Of course, the seniors in Lu Village do not have the magical powers of middle-aged people. At this time, there is no need for Huwa to associate and experience them by himself, so there are various scenes imprinted into the soul. The middle-aged people draw patterns on the ground that "talk" and can "tell" others with complex information.

A pattern was simply drawn on the ground, and what Huwa saw was a plate. A few more were drawn on the plate, which were two strings of silk made of beautiful jade, and then an altar appeared under the plate. The branches were simply drawn to the right of the altar, and what Huwa saw was a person standing with his hands hanging down.

Huwa couldn't help asking, "Sir, is this the thought of protecting the gods that give everything?"

The middle-aged man glanced at him: "You are very knowledgeable, and what I have used is this method. But the idea of ​​controlling the gods did not come out of thin air, but also contained people's observation and understanding of everything."

As he spoke, he put down the branch, and the thought of controlling the god disappeared. Only such a very complex rune was left on the ground. It was similar to the various totems that the tiger kid had seen, but it was different. Then he asked, "Child, what is this?"

Huwa replied, "Sir, just now, gave it the idea of ​​controlling the gods. The runes on the ground have explained what it means. This is a sacrifice."

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "You have already achieved the four realms of cultivation, and your soul is clear and clear, so you can interpret these divine thoughts without hindrance, so we can communicate like this. But after I finished drawing, this rune will stay here. Is it just a sacrifice?"

Huwa's eyes lit up and said, "It is 'ritual', a rune that symbolizes 'ritual'."

The middle-aged man blinked his fingers and the human-shaped pattern on the right side of the altar was wiped out. He drew a jar like that just now on the left, but this time he did not use the idea of ​​controlling the gods, and then asked, "Child, what did you think of again?"

Huwa blinked and said, "It's still a 'ritual'. You just drew the person who performed the rituals on the altar, and now you drew the wine used for the rituals on the other side."

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, wiped off the patterns on the ground with his fingers, and started painting again. This time he drew a man with his hands hanging down, and the meaning was no longer explained. Then, in front of this "person", he lightly drew an arc from top to bottom and then to the side with his branches.

This arc brought the idea of ​​controlling the gods again. Huwa seemed to see a person holding a ritual ceremony, pouring the wine to the ground, and the trajectory of the wine in the air formed that pattern. Huwa smiled and nodded and said, "You are still painting 'ritual'. For the same scene, you use different runes to symbolize it, but what you convey is the same meaning."

The middle-aged man explained: "The text of etiquette is the reason. What I just demonstrated to you is the various changes in totem runes in this world. In the end, this is the simplest one. You can draw it in a few strokes... Child, have another cup and let's continue playing."

The two of them each took a glass of wine from Gong Ye's hand and drank it all. The middle-aged man drew patterns on the ground, but formed a strange totem. When Huwa saw these patterns, what appeared in his mind was the stone that was just cut open by the middle-aged man. Because the idea of ​​controlling the gods on the ground was very simple, it was the texture exposed inside the stone after it was cut open.

The middle-aged man stopped the branch and asked again: "Child, what is this?"

This is the first time that middle-aged people have used the title of "character". In Huwa's previous concept, "character" was a syllable in the language, but middle-aged people used runes to draw "character", and different meanings have different ways of painting. Huwa nodded and replied: "This should be the word "rea", but it is not the word "ritual" in the sacrifice just now."

The middle-aged man just said, "Etiquette is the text of reason." So looking at the totem-like runes he drew on the ground, can it also mean "word is the text of words"? Huwa has never played such a fun game, and the more he plays, the more he feels the more interesting it becomes.

The middle-aged man used magic power to smooth the patterns on the ground. When the branches fell down again, the lines were very simple, and they only outlined the left and right lines, with the idea of ​​controlling the gods. Before he could ask, Huwa looked at the field next to him and replied: "This is a 'man'. You are painting a person who works in the field. If you want to ask what the word it is, if it is a word, it is a 'man'."

The middle-aged man did not speak, wiped off the patterns on the ground and then drew. This time he drew a man with two straight uprights, and then drew a straight line under the feet of this man to indicate the earth. Gong Yuan suddenly said, "I understand. The sir is painting the king, the king of the earth. This is the word 'king', the king of my father."

To interpret the idea of ​​controlling the gods clearly and unobstructed, you must have at least four realms of cultivation, and it is more difficult to cultivate below the third realm. However, the idea of ​​controlling the gods given to middle-aged people just now is very simple and does not hurt people. Even ordinary people can feel something in their minds, but it is not as clear as Tiger Baby.

The middle-aged man glanced at Gong Yuan and said, "You are right to read this word, but you should not call your father the king, but the king of the father. He is only the king of the prime minister and does not have the king of Dabayuan. If you accidentally use this title, people from the other four countries in Bayuan will know that your father has a little ambition."

Wang Dabayuan was actually just a little ambition. The middle-aged man was so angry that Gong Yan didn't dare to respond. Then the middle-aged man pointed at the tiger's widow and said, "You also have a branch in your hand, please draw it."

Huwa scratched the back of his head and said in embarrassment: "Sir, I don't have the ability to do this like you... If you want to draw words on the ground like this, you must have at least seven levels of cultivation."

The middle-aged man glared and said, "Who said it? This does not require the idea of ​​controlling the gods. Since you are a monk in Bayuan, have you never seen the totem of Ba Kingdom? Then draw it for me to see!"

Of course, Huwa is familiar with the totem mark of Ba's country. The front of his token of national industry is engraved, and almost everyone knows it on this Bayuan. The totem symbolizing Ba's country looks like a big snake, but its image has a standard appearance. Now, the five countries of Bayuan are marked by this totem. Although there are slight differences, they are basically the same. Huwa draws it on the ground. (To be continued...)
