Of course, Gu Li Zhong was going to attend the Gu God Festival. The tribesmen participating in the festival in each village had already set off one after another. Those who were far away needed to advance a few days in advance. As a great witch master, Gu Li Zhong specially passed by Yangcao Village. Not only did he have to bring his little
In order to enjoy the fragrance, I would also like to accompany Hougang and several other distinguished guests.
Perhaps it is thanks to Hua Zai that he saw the "flaw" before and not only reminded Hu Wa but also helped him cover it up. Since Hu Wa entered the village, he has paid attention to adjusting his behavior and mood. After all, he is just an ordinary child, a Hou.
Gang is the most inconspicuous servant among the group, and he just happens to be interested in Jiuli's witchcraft.
This is also consistent with his status as a servant. It would be unreasonable for Hou Gang to come here to learn Jiuli's witchcraft.
Gu Lizhong looked at Huwa carefully and found nothing unusual. He was more concerned about Hou Gang and was basically talking to Hou Gang. According to Jiuli's etiquette, Gu Lizhong expressed his welcome to Hou Gang.
He expressed his gratitude and said that he had been too busy recently due to various things and had not been able to come to entertain the distinguished guests in time. Please forgive me.
Of course, Gu Li Zhong knew that Hou Gang and others had requested to go to the Gu God Festival to observe the ceremony, but he deliberately did not mention it. Instead, as the host, he warmly invited Hou Gang and others to attend the Gu God Festival, making it look like he was
It seemed like it was proposed on his own initiative, and Hou Gang certainly accepted it happily. Gu Li Zhong asked about Hou Gang's identity in China again. Hou Gang had nothing to hide and gave a truthful introduction, which was indeed noble enough.
It should be noted that Master Cangjie of the Shihuang clan never married, so his nephew Hou Gang, who is also the heir, is equivalent to Cangjie's designated heir. However, Hou Gang, like his master Cangjie, is not interested in becoming the leader of the tribal forces.
I don’t like to show off my identity, I have more transcendent pursuits.
Although Hou Gang had said before that he was here just for traveling and was not sent by Emperor Danzhu, Gu Li Zhong still asked again. After getting a clear answer, Gu Li Zhong told Hou Gang another news
, the emperor's son Danzhu will also come to the Gu God Festival to observe the ceremony, and convene the five great wizards of Mu Li, Qi Li, Shan Li, Fei Li, and Gu Li to discuss matters to mediate disputes and establish an alliance.
Danzhu was accompanied by two important accompanying officials, namely Boyi and Chonghua. Gu Lizhong asked Hou Gang if he knew them and what he knew about them.
Hou Gang had of course heard of the names of Danzhu and Boyi when he was a child, but had never met him. Boyi was an invincible general and the brother-in-law of Emperor Yao. Danzhu was the most respected by Emperor Yao and received the most support from various forces.
His son, Hou Gang, told Gu Li Zhong everything he knew. Anyway, these are not secrets in the land of China.
As for Chonghua, Hougang had never heard of it. This man married the daughter of Emperor Yao and was appointed. It should have happened after Hougang left China.
Unexpectedly, he would meet Emperor Danzhu and the world-famous Boyi at the Gu God Festival so soon. Huwa was also very curious about these characters who seemed to come out of legends. He left the Northern Wasteland and entered Ba
Originally, it was an eye-opener, but now that I have left Bayuan and entered China, I have come to a broader world.
Everyone joins Gu Li Zhong's team and sets out together. This time there are ten teenagers in Yangcao Village who will participate in the ceremony to ask for the Gu God's blessing. Xiaoxiang is the most special one among them, and Gu Li Zhong personally takes her there.
Huwa walked with the others and put on local clothes according to Yang Caoyu's instructions, making him even less conspicuous.
Huwa's companions include not only the teenagers from Yangcao Village, but also the children brought by Gu Li Zhong from Dazhai, the headquarters of Gu Li, and other villages along the way. He found that these teenagers who will participate in the blessing ceremony are all no more than fifteen years old.
The girls are younger, mostly twelve or thirteen years old.
Huwa is already a master in how to guide others to the first level of cultivation. He knows very well that such an age may not be appropriate.
A child's state of mind is ignorant and simple, full of curiosity about all unknowns, and it is easy to accept new things. Being able to view the world and oneself with a purer vision is indeed more in line with the requirements for attaining the first state. In fact, no matter it is the earliest one who has attained the first state,
Or will it be possible to achieve a state of rebirth in the future and even require monks to seek a state of mind similar to that of a baby before it is born?
The younger the child is, the more pure his mind is. The more he meets the mental state requirements for entering the first stage of cultivation. If he is a baby who has not yet opened his eyes, there is not even a barrier, just like the nature of nature. But cultivation is not only the beginning, but also the climb.
Various experiences, insights and tests on the path to heaven. The most suitable age is preferably sixteen years old for men and fourteen years old for women.
Children who are too young. Their minds are not yet mature, their body functions are not fully developed, and they lack sufficient physical and mental experience. They enter the path of spiritual practice in ignorance, which is actually very dangerous, but they are not aware of it. More importantly, even if
Fortunately, I have been able to improve my cultivation level by leaps and bounds, but the tests in cultivation run through the whole process. It does not mean that the corresponding test ends after each level of cultivation level is passed.
Experiences that have never been experienced in cultivation will inevitably be encountered in future life, and the test will be more difficult and dangerous. For example, the "****" faced when entering the first stage is very simple for babies.
Yes, it is too complicated for adults. The stronger the ability and the higher the status, the more complicated it is.
Precisely because he did not experience much at the beginning, the test in the samadhi was too simple for him. When he experienced complex worldly things in life, it was not easy to stick to the mentality of seeking verification in his early years. Unless he developed an excellent attitude during his growth.
Only with a good temperament and a sound personality can we calmly face the complicated and unknown world.
Another example is the "training" to break through from the first level to the second level. The muscles, bones and body have to be refined and purified, which is unbearable for children who are not yet fully developed. Various hidden dangers and latent injuries may occur, and the process is particularly dangerous.
Unless you are born with an excellent physique and have the guidance and help of wise elders, you can survive safely.
Huwa has entered the first level of cultivation since he can remember. He started with cultivation at the beginning of his life. It seems natural, but in fact it is the most difficult and almost impossible to copy. Huwa has now broken through the ninth level of cultivation.
Because, after breaking through the cycle of life and death, looking back, I will understand what I have experienced.
These children from the villages of the Gu Li tribe are indeed a little younger, and the situation in the Feili tribe must be similar. It is said that this was the earliest request of the Gu God, and thus formed a centuries-old tradition.
If these children were younger, the decoction that Benliu Gang took when participating in the ceremony might have killed them. Since the Gu God has left this tradition, the children it wants to select should be those who are just barely able to
At an age when you are undergoing such a test, you have the greatest hope of reaching the first level, but the process is also the most dangerous.
Combined with the "experience" Hua Zai introduced to Huwa, then what Gu God wants to find is a child who has the most sincere belief in it, and at the same time has excellent talent and physique, and selects it from generations. But for most
For children, the elimination process seems extremely cruel, especially for the man and woman who are at the core of the ceremony.
Huwa knew very well that Xiaoxiang did not meet the requirements, and most of the dozens of children around him did not meet the requirements either. They were just selected by the village as much as possible, and they placed everyone's expectations on them. Huwa couldn't help but think of what Hou Gang once explained.
The meaning of "gu".
Everyone walked eastward and walked down the undulating road. A river formed by the water system in the mountains was like a natural dividing line, dividing this foreign land into the east and west. The lower reaches of the river were where Huwa and others entered.
We passed through the canyon here. Most of the villages of Guli tribe are in the west, and most of the villages of Feili tribe are in the east, intersecting with Shanli tribe.
They camped halfway and rested for the night. After crossing the river, they gradually walked higher and entered the area of Feilibu, arriving at the place where the ceremony would be held at noon the next day.
The altar is built on a hillside, backed by a steep and majestic high cliff, and below it is a platform spread out in layers like terraces. It is not known whether the Jiuli people were inspired by the process of building terraces and thus built such a Gu.
Altar of God.
If you look down from a high altitude, the altar built against the mountain is like a half-blooming flower, the main altar where the sacrifices are placed is the center of the flower, and the platforms that unfold in layers are like petals.
Among them, there are two most special "petals", which are the highest and closest to the main altar. They will be the positions of Xiaoxiang and another boy from Feilibei during the blessing ceremony; the surrounding circle of "petals" are the other ones.
The position of the child. Each village participating in the festival occupies a designated "petal" below. The position cannot be wrong, and the status of each other can also be seen from this.
These terraced platforms were built in different ages, and the traces become newer as you go to lower areas around them. This shows that the number of villages in the mountains has been slowly increasing for hundreds of years.
On the high slope of another adjacent mountain peak, an open space has been artificially leveled. There is a very rough stone house built on the open space. It was originally a temporary residence for the two great wizards and their close entourage. It is now used to receive Emperor Zidan.
Zhu Liao. As an angel of China, Danzhu was accompanied by a large number of honor guards and personal guards, and a row of large tents were set up in the open space.
I heard that the great wizards of the Mu Li, Qi Li and Shan Li tribes also came to the ceremony with the emperor Danzhu to watch the ceremony. It was a grand occasion. Gu Li Zhong joined Fei Lichi, the great wizard of the Feili tribe. Of course, he had to
Go to see Danzhu first. But Danzhu first summoned Hou Gang alone. This Chinese angel was well-informed. Not only did he already know Hou Gang's identity, but he also knew that he would come today.
It's not surprising when you think about it. Since Danzhu came to inspect Jiuli, his subordinates must have arranged an informant. Hou Gang and others have been staying in the Guli Department for more than half a month, and various rumors have already spread.
Taiyi, Jigu, Huwa and other three people are still staying with the tribesmen in Yangcao Village. Their current status is just Hougang's followers. With the dignity of Danzhu, of course not everyone can see each other, and Danzhu doesn't
