Episode 1 Martial Arts Master Chapter 135 Essential Techniques of Traditional Chinese Medicine
The color had just faded away, and it was expected that the orc witch doctor Farahim's envoy would quietly negotiate. Both parties had eyes and ears in Ghost Mist Town, so it was not difficult to find out where Shen Zhimo lived.
The messenger Guigui Lele thought that Shen Zhimo was suppressed by the prince and did not dare to say anything. He was afraid that others would know about their secret meeting. He actually took advantage of the dark night to practice voodoo in the hawthorn forest in front of the villa. He used five wooden sticks to make a In a small magic circle, a skull was placed in the middle, and special powder was sprinkled around it, and he began to pretend to chant. This was a way for voodoo practitioners to communicate with their souls, and the envoy hoped to use this to make an appointment with Shen Zhimo for a talk.
But how could Shen Zhimo, a liar who knew martial arts, hear the spiritual words spread by the messenger through voodoo?
The messenger's mouth was numb as he recited it. The dew was heavy at night and he was miserable. He thought to himself: "Why doesn't the descendant of Master Wo Yin reply? Does he think the five-note mantra is not sincere enough?" Voodoo is extremely popular in the eyes of outsiders. Evil, this so-called "five-note curse" uses human sacrifices and takes skulls to cast spells. It is already very serious in voodoo.
In the end, Ysera opened the window and noticed the movement in the woods with her sharp eyes inherited from her mother. She turned around and said, "Saga, someone is using voodoo magic." The little half-orc girl grew up in an orc village and had seen The look of voodoo.
Shen Zhimo was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "I had expected that the old witch doctor would come to see me in the evening. Let's go. It's time to pretend to be a ghost." He went all the way outside and specifically ordered the guards to disperse so as not to disturb the mysterious envoy of the orcs.
The hawthorn forest was filled with the stench of special voodoo powder. Master Shen wrinkled his nose and said in a hoarse voice: "Who... summoned me to this place late at night?"
The messenger quickly knelt on all fours on the ground and kowtowed respectfully: "The great Witch King's descendant, the witch doctor Farahim of the Blackstone tribe, asked me to give this to you." He held the skull in his hand and offered it.
Shen Zhimo frowned, and felt an unspeakable strange aura surging from the skull. He guessed that Farahim must have left a message on it, but unfortunately he couldn't understand what it meant, so he asked enigmatically: "Farahim said that What?"
The messenger thought he had understood the content and said: "Sir Farahim sincerely wishes to meet with you. Please come with me."
"Lead the way."
Because of the major changes that occurred in Shen Zhimo's seizure of power in the afternoon, all the representatives tried their best to restrain their subordinates. Upton, the commander of the expeditionary force, also took corresponding measures. There were not many patrol guards on the street. The two quickly passed through the middle of Guiwu Town. Boundary Street used to be full of red-skinned, green-skinned orcs with sharp mouths and fangs. When the guards saw the messenger, they nodded in greeting and were not surprised by Shen Zhimo, a human being.
Farahim lives in a crude stone house with a rounded roof and a very solid structure. The walls are wrapped with a large number of spikes. This is a tradition formed by the orcs after countless turbulent years of war. The external shape looks disconcerting. To be honest, the interior is like a tent, but it's warm in winter and cool in summer. It's very comfortable.
There is a large piece of unnamed animal skin on the floor in the center of the room. The head and claws are still there. After being salted, it retains most of its original physical features. It looks ferocious and ferocious, and the fur is soft and soft. When one foot falls, it feels like stepping on the clouds. It's a pity to use such good fur to pave the floor. There are a large number of bottles and cans on the table next to it, which contain liquids with different uses. The smell is strong, and visitors who are not mentally strong will be killed on the spot. Gotta be smoked out the door.
Farahim was hunched over and sitting cross-legged on the ground - the witch doctor's favorite posture was hunchback, which looked very wretched. I don't know how this tradition was retained.
"Mr. Saga, regardless of our status as diplomatic representatives, I am eager to talk to you about the theory of voodoo." Farahim motioned for Shen Zhimo to sit down and asked the envoy, who was actually his apprentice, to take out the
Goat milk wine.
The wine was packed in large leather bags, weighing ten kilograms per bag, which showed the tough style of the people of the Arasso plain. The wine tasted bitter and sour, and had the lingering smell of mutton. Shen Zhimo raised his head and drank it in a rough manner.
, in fact, all the wine flowed out from the corner of his mouth, soaking a large part of his clothes. The sound was a muffled sound that he simulated by pressing his throat with internal force.
Farahim secretly thought that he had traveled on the Arathor Plain. He had seen the customs of orcs, and it was not unusual to have such a style. Anyway, it was much more pleasing to the eye than the refined and refined style of human beings. He said: "You are really the evil king Woyin."
A descendant of the master?"
"Not really." Shen Zhimo wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth like a beast, and said: "I only learned a little bit of voodoo from him, and I didn't officially become a disciple. Anyway, I'm not interested in this, so why should I learn it? He was very interested.
Very, he still said that I have the talent to learn voodoo." He was not ashamed of his words. He boasted to himself first.
Farahim wished he could pat his thighs until they were swollen: "What a pity. Why didn't such a good thing happen to me?"
Farahim, who did you learn your voodoo skills from?"
"Master Zul'Farrak of the Dark Arrow tribe was also a disciple of Master Woyin. Unfortunately, he passed away ten years ago. I often worship his spirit at the Temple of the Ancestors." Farahim mentioned his mentor with a look of respectful remembrance.
.
"Zul'Farrak?" Shen Zhimo shook his head reservedly: "What has he taught you?"
"Corrosion, curse, mental hypnosis, pharmacology, pharmacies, summoning." Farahim hesitated for a moment, then said them all.
As for the kind of corrosion and curse techniques that are like dancing gods, Shen Zhimo didn't know anything about it. He specifically picked an aspect that he was good at and asked: "Then what pharmacology have you studied? I see that you are not very good at using medicine during the day. Even the Five Elements
I don’t even know how to create and restrain each other.”
"The five elements complement each other? Are you sure you're not joking? Why have I never heard of this awkward term?"
"According to Wo Yin's opinion, there is a very important connection between voodoo and shamanism. The two are mutually reinforcing. It was not until later that shamanism became the main doctrine believed by the orcs. Most of the theories of voodoo are based on
It's based on elements... Well, it's so profound, I believe it's hard to understand based on your IQ." Shen Zhimo used Terry Hill's theory to deceive as usual.
Farahim was indeed frightened, and nodded unconsciously and said: "It should be understandable, please continue."
"I've skipped those easy-to-understand corrosion techniques and curse techniques. The key is the profound knowledge of voodoo pharmacology. How much do you know?"
In fact, Farahim is studious and inquiring, and is very proficient in pharmacology, but his momentum was suppressed by Shen Zhimo. How could he dare to say the word "more" in front of him? He could only say: "It seems... I really don't understand."
…”.
Shen Zhimo smiled lightly, like an old mage from the Arcane Academy showing off his knowledge: "Do you know what the Five Elements are?"
The evil witch doctor, who made normal people blush when he heard this, actually picked his nose and answered honestly: "I don't know."
Shen Zhimo is like a preacher on the altar, saying: "Wo Yin traveled around the world and gained many different insights. He once lamented that the knowledge he learned about everything in the world was only one ten thousandth. That year he met me, and I
After discussing with him, the two of them concluded the Five Elements Theory. The Five Elements are the five basic elements that make up everything in the world: metal, plants, water, fire, earth and stone. In addition, with the addition of shadow and light, the theoretical basis of this voodoo technique is complete.
Yes. Among the five elements, there is the principle of mutual generation and mutual restraint. Metal generates water, aquatic plants, plants generate fire, fire generates earth and stone, and earth and stone generate metal..."
Farahim interjected: "I agree with this... basic element, but I don't quite understand why metal can produce water..."
This made Shen Zhimo question. Fortunately, he was quick-witted. He glared and said angrily: "Do you dare to doubt the theory between me and Master Wo Yin? If metal is burned by fire, it will melt into a liquid. Liquid is not a kind of water.
Huh? Next time use your stupid head to think about why it is like this. Do you want me to answer questions about metals produced from earth and rocks? Metals are contained in earth and rocks and can only be extracted after smelting. With your qualifications
How he could become a witch doctor is really unfathomable."
Farahim was just like Mephisto at the time, being brought into a new and unknown world by his words, and exclaimed in surprise: "It is indeed like this, it turns out that this is how the elements come from!"
Shen Zhimo smiled contemptuously until Farahim turned red with laughter before saying: "Everything in the world has shadows when there is light. They are parallel opposites and cannot replace each other. Because of this, since the five elements can grow with each other,
Then you can restrain each other, metal restrains plants, plants restrain earth and stone, earth and stone restrain water, water restrains fire, fire restrains metal, and the pharmacology you have learned, even the casting of voodoo, the cycle of the human body, and the birth and death of the universe, are all based on following
This rule."
Farahim's pulse beat ten times faster than usual, his mouth was dry, and he asked with difficulty: "The human body, the universe too...?"
"That's right." Shen Zhimo fully grasped the situation and waved his hand impatiently: "It involves Tai Chi, Yin Yang, Liang Yi, Four Symbols, Bagua and so on. It's too complicated. I can't explain it to you right now. Let's do it anyway.
Talking about pharmacology, what did you study?"
The attitude was as if a senior who had already obtained a degree from the Arcane Academy was assessing the new students entering the Youth Academy. The difference between the two was indistinguishable. Farahim was originally a witch doctor who mastered profound magic in the Thunder Emirate, and he also had dozens of disciples.
, was also appointed as a negotiator by the chief. He is superior to others in terms of official experience and academic knowledge. He is not a rookie. Even if the Holy Magician of the Empire came in person, he could not be frightened, but the key lies in the meeting process between the two.
