The original meaning of a shaman is a person who can dance to induce gods, or who also practices medicine. In ancient tribes, he was often responsible for presiding over sacrifices.
As the saying goes, the most important affairs of the country are sacrifice and military service.
In ancient times, sacrifice and war were two indispensable pillars of any power.
However, after Confucianism emerged and became the dominant doctrine, it also took away the matter of sacrifice.
Follow etiquette.
But at this time, in the era when hundreds of schools of thought coexisted in the pre-Qin period, although Confucianism had become a prominent school at that time, it did not have as much influence as it would later.
So if we start from the matter of sacrifice...
Chi Yao was a little moved after thinking about it, but after a moment he shook his head.
Sacrifice matters are of great concern. As a new school of thought,
If you get involved rashly, the risk seems a bit too high.
Think about what you are good at...
"Training animals, raising insects, and refining corpses are useful, but they don't seem to be suitable for elegance. Witchcraft is a traditional skill, but divination is also what Taoism and Yin Yang are good at, especially Yin Yang.
If the art of stargazing is used as an entry point, it will inevitably collide with them..."
Although it is said that stepping on others is the fastest way to become famous. Once successful, all the reputation accumulated by the other party will become a stepping stone for you, which can be said to be a stepping stone to the sky. However, there is also a need to bully the weak and avoid the hard.
Otherwise, not only will you not be able to climb high, but you will get a bruise on your feet, or a bruise on your head.
Regardless of whether it is now or in the future, Taoism and Yin-Yangism are undoubtedly the two toughest voices among all schools of thought.
Even Confucianism and Mohism, which are now very prominent and are regarded as prominent schools of thought in the world, will at least have a period of obvious decline in the not-too-distant future. If we must target them, there is no chance.
But Taoism is different from Yin-Yang School, and we expect them to decline.
I'm afraid we have to wait until the time of the next great Confucian scholar - Dong Zhongshu.
This is too far.
"So, is it easier to take the path of a doctor?"
Naturally, there are doctors among the hundreds of schools of thought, and there are not many outstanding figures in the past who can be called saints. But it happens that in this period, since Bian Que was assassinated by Li Xi (xi), the imperial physician of King Wu of Qin, in the past fifty or sixty years,
In the past, there was no new figure in the field of medicine, but rather it gradually withered away.
Decades later, the direct descendants of the medical family were reduced to a small leader of the Moh family.
It has to be said that it is depressing that a university sect has fallen to this point.
But this is a good thing for Chi Yao.
Although the status of doctors is not too high, their importance does not need to be elaborated. However, the opponents are very weak. Isn't this a God-given opportunity?
Once you choose your target, the rest will be easy.
But the first thing to do is to put up the framework of the Chi family.
Yes, after much thought, Chi Yao gave up the name Wu family and made the same choice as Mozi, naming the school after his own surname.
Because it is possible for the leader of a school to be respectfully called [Zi],
If it is the Wu family,
Then from now on, when others call me, wouldn’t I have to call myself Wu Zi?
Um……
Somewhere in the dark,
Chi Yao felt that this name seemed to have a great cause and effect, and it would be better not to contaminate it.
Moreover, his roots come from Gu. Although both witchcraft and Gu come from Chiyou, it is still a little awkward to call him a witch family, and when he mentions it, it makes people think of the Baiyue hidden witch lineage.
On the contrary, taking the name of the Chi family not only makes you feel more comfortable, but it is also equivalent to changing your appearance and making some differences with the past, making it easier to blend into the circles of various schools of thought.
…
…
The exorcist returned quickly.
I don't know if it was because he had been warned in advance, but Wushuang Ghost was very respectful when he saw Chi Yao, and even bowed.
But Yan Lingji was different. This woman who was both charming and passionate, as gentle as water as well as fire, went straight to the statue of the Fire Witch Patriarch as soon as she came in, as if she couldn't wait to practice magical skills and regain her freedom.
Chi Yao just smiled and shook his head, signaling Wushuang Ghost to learn new witch patterns first, and then called the Exorcist to him.
"Are you really the only three left in the Hidden Witch lineage?"
"Um."
The exorcist nodded, looking a little sad, "Everyone else died in the battle. Later, because we couldn't open the Hidden Witch Palace, we had no intention of accepting any more disciples."
"Then there are two things we need to do immediately. The first is to select a location for the school, and the second is to recruit people. What do you think about this?" Chi Yao asked.
"In terms of site selection... I heard that many schools of thought are located on famous mountains. There happens to be a Dongting Mountain in Dongting Lake. I don't know..."
"Dongting Mountain..."
Chi Yao pondered for a moment and then nodded. The place is not so much a mountain as an island in the middle of the lake. Although the place is not big, it is quite famous. It was also rated as the eleventh blessed place in the world and serves as the residence of the school.
Say, enough is enough.
Some people may not know it clearly when talking about Dongting Mountain, but if we talk about Junshan, everyone will suddenly understand.
"There are seventy-two peaks in Dongting Mountain, among which Piaomiao Peak is the highest. Once you climb to its top, the mountains of Wu and Yue will be faintly visible."
The Exorcist described it in detail, "And it happens to be close enough to protect the underwater Hidden Witch Temple."
"Well, let's decide on Dongting Mountain! Also, you are most familiar with the Yue tribe, so I'll leave the matter of recruiting disciples to you."
Chi Yao made a final decision, "This is the first time we are recruiting disciples. We don't value many talents, so we will use the three of you as the standard for the time being. The talent is at most slightly worse than you, and we won't need anyone with more talent. If you have special talents, you can relax some requirements.
, there is no limit on the number of people.”
"Yes." The exorcist responded respectfully.
"Okay, judging from the appearance of the two of them, they have almost copied it. Call them all over."
After a while, the only three remaining hidden wizards came to Chi Yao.
"Today the Hidden Witch Palace reopens, and naturally the next step is to carry forward the theory of witchcraft."
Chi Yao announced, "Therefore, I decided to follow the example of various schools of thought and form a school. I will honor Chi You, the witch god, as the founder, and name it after the [Chi Family]. I will be the leader, and the three of you will be given the names Corpse Witch, Li Wu, and Fire Witch respectively."
The number and position are the same as the elders."
If he said it was named after his own surname, the exorcist and others might not be willing, especially Yan Lingji, who has not yet been completely tamed, but by naming it after Chi You, they would have no reason to question it.
"The reason why you have declined so far before is because the relationship between the school and the country has not been clarified. You know, the inheritance of the school may be turbulent, but there is no problem if it lasts for thousands of years, but what about the country? Difficulties are difficult. Therefore, the country
We can rely on them, but they must not be allowed to control the lifeline of the school. For example, the King of Yue used his own blood to block the Hidden Witch Palace. From now on, it will never be allowed to happen. This is the first iron rule of my Chi family! Do you understand?
"
"yes!"
The three of them solemnly agreed. Although they are disciples of Tianze, they are first and foremost descendants of the Yinwu lineage. Without this identity, Tianze would not be able to accept them, so it is still possible to distinguish who is first and who is last.
"Okay, then next, Wushuang Gui and Yan Lingji will be responsible for building the sect's station on Dongting Mountain. I will send enough corpse soldiers to assist and exorcise the corpse demon to find suitable disciples for the school."
Chi Yao arranged everything in an orderly manner.
"What about you?"
After receiving the order, Yan Lingji suddenly asked.
"Of course I'm going to make a name for our school of thought."
Chi Yao raised his head and looked to the north, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
