Chapter 272: The history of witchcraft, the beginning of the story (4k)
Is there a master who is pulling the vitality from the sky to the ground? Sensing the witchcraft fluctuations released by Qin Yi dozens of miles away, Chen Zonghua felt a chill in his heart. He knew that this should be a strong witchcraft expert in the sixth qi. He thought of the recent...
The situation of King Yu’s Ceremony.Lan
As a descendant of the archery skills of Hou Yi who usurped the Xia Dynasty, at this sensitive time, I go to Kuaiji Martial Arts Academy to have a competition. I won't have a fierce conflict with others, right?
However, perhaps it is under such circumstances that I can see through the hidden strength of the Yue people under the threat of Wu and make a proper decision on whether to cooperate.
Thinking of this, Chen Zonghua showed an expectant smile on his face, and the aura around him blended in with the simple bow behind him, making it look extremely deep and far away. The outer surface of the bow trembled slightly, and "Kun Yang" lit up.
These two mysterious seal characters.
……
The turtle stepped on the soles of his feet and suddenly flew high into the sky. The ape man was taken aback by the flying turtle. He hurriedly rolled several times in the air, and instantly tore the bamboo sticks in his hands into pieces with his aura, and woven them into a long rope.
, threw the harness onto a boulder by the lake, and landed without any injuries.
After saying hello to Rui Xi, Zhao Qing walked outside with the ape man who had changed his new bamboo stick. Along the way, he saw many wizards catching fallen livestock, turtles and fish, and performing spells.
These wizards have strong or weak auras. Most of them wear feather crowns, cut their hair into buns, wear green robes or five-color animal skins, hold magical instruments made of bronze, oracle bones, and jade in their hands, and wear mysterious snake-shaped earrings.
The colorful bird-patterned ornaments give people a luxurious and strange feeling.阑
During the process of casting the spell, the vitality of the heaven and earth near them also changed, and a large number of simple and profound runes appeared. Some of them formed the totem forms of doves, dragons and snakes, which represented the wizard's ride and communication between heaven and earth.
The divinity and power of heaven and earth.
It was the first time that he saw so many wizards and complicated witchcraft. On the way out of King Yu's ancestral temple, Zhao Qing couldn't help but think deeply and recalled his understanding of the way of witchcraft:
In the current world, there are many paths to practice before the Six Qi Realm, such as strength, Qi refining, elixir transformation, etc. However, after breaking through to the Six Qi Realm, they basically reach the same goal through different paths, and they all embark on the path of refining "yin and yang of heaven and earth, sun, moon and four seasons
"Qi, the path of "taking advantage of the righteousness of heaven and earth, and controlling the differentiation of the six qi".
Among them, it can be subdivided into three branches: Qi Refining Immortal Dao, Qi Refining Martial Arts, and Qi Refining Witch Dao.
According to legend, when the Yellow Emperor perfected the practice method that is popular in today's world, he also improved the witchcraft that mainly relied on the gods in ancient times into a route that was biased towards refining Qi;
It is no longer a state of having no ability and having to borrow power from the gods. Instead, it uses special methods to simulate the imprint left by the gods, using itself as the source of witchcraft and mana, and working with monks from other routes in the "Six Qi" realm.
The practices are similar.
In Zhao Qing's view, this seems to be changing the object pointed by the wizard from the real ancient gods to the existence in the people's imagination, making it conceptual and controllable. 阑
Of course, compared with the ancient witchcraft that can borrow the power of gods and have a higher limit of combat power at the same level, the newly born Qi Refining witchcraft took an extremely long time before it was unified by Zhuanxu's "Jedi Tiantong" and Dayu.
After the events such as "The God of Mountains and Rivers", it gradually replaced the former.
"Xia Dao respects orders, respects ghosts and keeps away from gods", "Yin people respect gods, lead the people to serve gods, put ghosts first and then etiquette". After Dayu and Qi popularized the witchcraft of Qi refining, in the era of Shang Dynasty,
But there have been new changes.
Since Dayu established the throne of the emperors, and Xia Houqi imitated the virtual world of Kunlun, he built the Nine Heavenly Capital and forged the destiny of humanity. After his death, the people's faith in the ancient gods was greatly weakened, and Qi Refining Martial Arts and Qi Refining Witchcraft flourished accordingly; But by the time of Jie and Shang Tang in late summer, all this changed again.
According to the martial arts classics, the reason why Shang Tang was able to overthrow the Xia Dynasty, which was guarded by destiny, was actually because he colluded with some ancient gods and used the external power of the gods to barely defeat the Xia Dynasty.
It laid the root of the conflict between theocratic and royal powers in the middle and late Shang Dynasties.
As for Taikang's loss of the country and Hou Yi Hanzhuo usurping Xia, it was because there were some loopholes in the early Great Xia Destiny. Taikang himself was not the only successor that Qi was optimistic about, but he went out hunting far away from the core guardianship area of Destiny.
Being taken advantage of by outsiders.
In short, by the time of Shang Tang, the way of worshiping gods and witchcraft regained the upper hand. The royal power relied on the ancestral god system established by imitating the Great Xia Mandate to check and balance the divine power, mainly gaining strength through bloody sacrifices. Both sides gave birth to many statues.
A strong man in the Tianyan realm.Lan
Under the background of emphasizing ghosts and respecting gods, the ancient, ancient, and medieval witchcraft have blended with each other and developed to an extremely sophisticated level. The witchcraft of refining qi and the witchcraft of worshiping gods have become mixed.
Sympathetic witchcraft, imitation witchcraft, bloodline witchcraft, soul refining witchcraft, divine witchcraft, rune witchcraft, poison witchcraft, life usurping witchcraft... In terms of middle and low level witchcraft, it is far more advanced than before.
The era is more prosperous and perfect.
But in the late Shang Dynasty, the theocratic kingship began to conflict. The Shang kings and the priestly forces no longer stood on the same line. Each spent their accumulated wealth of more than two thousand years to compete for power, and their overall strength also began to decline. Eventually,
Defeated by the emerging Zhou Dynasty.
Since the country of Yue is located in a remote area and has little exchanges with the Central Plains, the historical records of the development of these witchcraft are quite limited. Zhao Qing browsed some martial arts classics and roughly knew the contents.
At the same time, she also doubted that as a country founded by the descendants of Dayu, most of the classics here exalted the achievements and strength of the Xia Dynasty, and smeared Hou Yi, Han Zhuo, Shang Tang, and the Shang Dynasty to a certain extent.
.
After the fall of Shang Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty put an end to the rebellion launched by Wu Geng, the son of King Zhou, and replaced the status of witchcraft with ritual music and patriarchal laws, trying to partially restore the destiny system of the Xia Dynasty and combine it with the ritual and legal system to create an innovative situation. p>
Although in the end it seemed that it was beyond its capabilities, in this era of decline in spiritual practice, it also successfully established the Zhou royal family's respected status as being ordered by heaven and could not be replaced, which triggered the obvious decline of witchcraft in the Central Plains region. 阑

In today's Wu, Yue, and Chu regions, witchcraft practice is usually divided into three levels: shamans, sorcerers, and wizards, corresponding to Yin Jin, Yang Jin, Hua Jin, Gang Jin, Shen Jin, and the Six Qi Realm, and "Wizard" is used as a general term.
.
"Witches" can only perform short-range, less mysterious low-level witchcraft; "Witches" have begun to practice the power of the soul, and can initially communicate with the gods of heaven and earth, and can perform long-distance, larger-scale witchcraft; p>
"Wizards", that is, witchcraft monks at the Six Qi Realm level, can go to heaven and earth, call the wind and rain, intervene, manipulate the laws of vitality, and perform all kinds of extremely mysterious and large-scale witchcraft.
In the ancient and medieval times, the real great witches and divine witches were all powerful beings who had reached the Tianyan realm. They were considered the fourth and fifth levels of wizards, and they were strong enough to compete with the emperors and real gods of the world;
But in modern times, great witches and divine witches were just titles bestowed by princes on the top wizards in the realm of six qi. It was a symbolic honorific title. In terms of cultivation realm, it was far inferior to that of previous generations. Even the great witches of the six qi realms were called "great witches".
Qualifications to become a shaman, such as Bizhen, a contemporary shaman from Wushan Mountain in Yue Kingdom.
This is evident from the decline in the practice and status of witchcraft and the improvement in the status of the royal aristocracy.
……阑
When leaving the ancestral temple area, Zhao Qing suddenly sensed something and realized that the tall wall nearby was not just a pile of masonry and rammed earth, but actually had an extremely complex energy network running inside, forming a huge formation. p>
Before the realm was broken through before, I didn’t notice the specialness of it.
It was now in the afternoon. Zhao Qing sensed the special vitality that he had received in the Jade Pavilion not long ago. He was not in a hurry to rush to the martial arts academy immediately, but was going to go shopping in the street market and buy some gifts to celebrate the ape.
My husband was promoted smoothly.
She already regards Monkey King as a family member. She didn't have much money in the past, even when she lived in a remote place. Now she has plenty of money and is worth almost as much as some scholar-bureaucrats in the lower six realms. She naturally began to pay attention to things related to her family.
Every big thing:
Not only do we want to celebrate the birthdays of ourselves, Rui Xi, and Monkey King, but we are also prepared to give appropriate gifts when someone in the family makes a breakthrough.
By the way, you still have to ask the ape male for his own opinion on what gifts to buy.
Zhao Qing thought secretly in his heart, and followed the flow of people into a large and bustling shopping mall, where he communicated and discussed with the ape man dressed as a human. 阑
After breaking through to Gang Jin, Yuan Gong has the ability to release Gang Qi outwards, which is quite similar to the outward release of Zhen Qi, and can naturally simulate the effect of transmitting sound into secrets.
Relying on vibrating the air with its force, the sounds it produced were no different from those of ordinary people. Occasionally, it said a few words to the waiter in charge of reception at the merchant shop, but it did not attract the attention of other people.
……
While Zhao Qing and Monkey King were wandering around the shopping mall, the Kuaiji Martial Arts Academy, with its towering palaces and pavilions more than ten miles away, welcomed an uninvited guest who came to challenge him.
The boss of Zhou, whom Zhao Qing had met at the Wushe Gorge not long ago, glanced at the silent old wizard with an awkward expression, and then focused on a tall young man holding a bow a hundred feet away.
A moment ago, this young man who claimed to be the successor of Chu Di's marksman suddenly appeared and competed with the best among the seven or eight students in the martial arts academy. However, he all won with one move, which shocked the crowd watching.
Boss Zhou had just reached an agreement and was going to come to Kuaiji Martial Arts Academy to serve as the teacher here. When he encountered such a thing, he felt quite uncomfortable and wanted to ask the old wizard of the Six Qi Realm who was stationed next to him how to deal with it.
, but I don’t know what to say for a moment.阑
"Chen Zonghua, don't be too proud! If you rely on your advantage in cultivation age to bully your stomach uncle, other people in Kuaiji Martial Arts Academy will teach you a lesson!"
"Hmph, the Ming Zuo brothers who are going to compete with you next are real geniuses who can be ranked among the top five in the contemporary martial arts academy. They will definitely beat you to the ground!"
On the vast field where the two sides competed, Weiyu, the great-grandson of Sinong of the former Yue Kingdom, looked pale, with his left hand pressing his ribs that had an obvious fist mark on his outer robe, and with his right hand holding a bronze scorpion to support his body, his whole body shook.
Shaking and shaking, he kept shouting and refused to admit defeat.
The nearby martial arts students who were also knocked down by a punch all frowned, feeling that although this Weiyu was born in one of the top three wealthy Wei families in Yue, he really had no etiquette and education.
I’m so embarrassed in front of you.
Glancing at Weiyu, who was the first to start but had the lowest cultivation level, Chen Zonghua felt a little disappointed. He felt that the strength of these young people in the Huajin Gangjin realm was quite average. He could not even reach 30% of his strength without using the magic weapon.
Can't take it.
He sighed softly and looked at a young man in his twenties and seventies who stood up and walked out from the crowd of onlookers. He noticed a light blue ancient sword hanging on his waist that connected the world with his breath. p>
"Wen is not talented and wants to use the power of this semi-divine weapon to fight against the 'Kunyang' divine bow held by Brother Chen." Lan
Under the gaze of onlookers, Wen Run walked steadily to the other end of the square. The long green sword suddenly unsheathed, emitting bright light, and hundreds of circling circles bloomed in an instant. p>
At the same time, the Gang Qi field covering a ten-foot radius around him trembled slightly, and ten illusory shadows suddenly flew out from it, embedded in the edge where the Gang Qi connected with the outside world, and quickly aroused the Yin-Yang and Five Elements Qi between heaven and earth.
;
In the sky above the entire Gang Qi field, ten dark blue sword blades with a length of ten feet suddenly condensed, echoing with the blue sword tightly held in Wen Run's hand, as if they had turned into an enlarged projection of him in the vitality of heaven and earth, Feng Lei.
Wails, lightning interweaving, and the air twisting, making it look extremely terrifying.
This is the realm of "Six Fu-organs Manifesting Spirits" in the second level of Shenjin. The eleven body spirits that have been condensed can swim outside the body and blend with their corresponding yin-yang and five-element qi to form an exquisite and mysterious formation.
, becoming the amplifier of the Gang Qi field in the vitality of heaven and earth.

Wen Run kept the liver body spirit corresponding to the Zhen hexagram in his body, and released the other ten body spirits to fly out, and jointly used his major "Eight Gates Xuanhuang Jin" and "Leigang Jueling Jin" to use thunder
The vitality was condensed into ten vitality warriors, which served as an auxiliary weapon when attacking with the long sword in hand.
"Finally, a real master from the martial arts academy has arrived! But this Brother Wen, are you sure you want to cross the border to compete with me?"
Looking at the astonishing power displayed by Baizhangwai Wenrun from a distance, Chen Zonghua did not take off the divine weapon-level longbow on his back, but spoke calmly and told the story of his cultivation that had reached the third level of divine power.Lan<
/p>
The gap between the semi-divine weapons and the divine weapons is roughly equivalent to the distance between the Bianzhu Sword and the Haocaozi Sword obtained by Zhao Qing. When he has not yet reached the "lower six qi" and cannot stimulate the full power of the weapon, it is not
It’s obvious;
But there is an insurmountable gap between the third level and the second level of Shenjin. Under normal circumstances, they are not at the same level at all. There is a nearly double gap in terms of strength, speed, and recovery power. Although Wenrun is recognized as one of the top three talents and top six masters of his generation in the Kuaiji Martial Arts Academy, Chen Zonghua can reach a level that is better than him at the same age. How can he be a mediocre person who is easily jumped over to fight? In the eyes of the few martial arts students who had just been defeated instantly, only Wen Gao, who was firmly ranked as the number one in the martial arts academy and had been practicing at the peak of Shenjin for five years, personally took action, could he defeat this former student with weapons at a disadvantage.
Chu people come to challenge.
At the edge of the square, the old wizard who had been silent finally raised his head, and a clear jade bead flew out of the air in his hand. In an instant, it was suspended in the sky above the center of the confrontation between Wen Run and Chen Zonghua, scattering undetectable light.
Light interferes with the laws of vitality in this area.
Under the shroud of this witchcraft that has been sacrificed for many years, the outer layer of the hundred-foot-square space seems to have set up an unbreakable barrier. The active vitality has fallen into a state of silence, making it difficult to be induced by external forces, which is equivalent to that around the arena.
Guardrails to protect outside audiences.
Sensing the arrangement of the old wizard next to him, the boss of the state secretly screamed "Old Slick", limiting the scope of the battlefield, which was undoubtedly quite detrimental to the long-range bow and arrow shooting skills, which could be regarded as equalizing Chen Zonghua's advantage in weapons.阑
At the same time, he was also thinking endlessly. Could it be that Wenrun, the son of this literary class, really has the ability to fight across borders?
With such an amazing talent, doesn’t it mean that it far exceeds that of my young self who was in the veteran “lower six qi” realm? This is really impossible!
After all, Chen Zonghua, who came to challenge, had obviously reached the peak of his spiritual practice at the third level of Shenjin. In addition to possessing certain characteristics of the "Six Qi" realm in advance, is there any other way to gain a chance of victory? Staring at the two talented young people in the distance, Boss Zhou felt a little sad. Then he thought of Zhao Qing, whom he met half a month ago. He felt that no matter how talented these two people were, if they were to fight her in the same place, they would definitely
Not an opponent.
He felt that although he was not as powerful as him, his knowledge was broader than that of the old wizard next to him. Knowing the true genius, his mentality returned to a good state, and he gained a sense of calmness.
"If my prediction is correct, you should have the same 'Xungan Pulse Revealing Body' as your grandfather, and have awakened the corresponding bloodline magical power!"
After taking off the simple big bow on his back, Chen Zonghua's profound gaze fell directly on Wen Run in the distance. His straightened left arm held the bow tightly, and his right arm, which was slightly longer than the left arm, bent backwards, and his thumb was clasped on the bow.
On the gray bowstring, there was no arrow, but he suddenly spoke. Lan
At the same time that Chen Zonghua spoke, twelve faint figures with illusory faces suddenly split from his body, quickly shrank, merged into one, and turned into a light red exquisite ring, which was put on his button.
On the right thumb of the string.
"Bloodline magical power?!" Whether it was the Zhou boss in the distance or the martial arts students watching beside him, everyone was shocked and extremely surprised.
