Emperor Shun did not say anything, but a group of people here, under the coordination of Mr. Shui Jing, began to march towards the battlefield in Jiaozhou.

And the many ghost troops under Zhang Lu's command, such as ghost soldiers, ghost officials, ghost priests, etc., are even more surprising.

In this way, the troops of several parties joined together and really attacked Jiaozhou. Through understanding, everyone also knew the situation in Yizhou. Because there were no unnecessary disputes, the situation in Yizhou was relatively good, and there was no direct fighting. So after negotiation, some people sent troops to Jiaozhou, and some people

Stay behind.

"Looking at the way you all look, I guess you are the reinforcements favored by Mr. Shui Jing?"

As the army was marching, a deep voice was heard, seemingly from a minister under Emperor Shun.

"Just say whatever you want to say, don't play tricks on me!" Lu Bu shouted with a sneer.

"Your spiritual sense can actually lock onto my location?" The man lost his momentum when he heard the shout, and his tone became much more restrained. "Even if you can fight Liu Bei's army, don't think that's it!" Lu Bu laughed and said, "Although Zhuge is quite capable, he doesn't have many moves that can really kill. If you want to die, I don't mind opening the door.

Red!" "According to our understanding, Zhuge is already the top one. The so-called ultimate killing technique is not good, that is, he is not good at martial arts and his attack ability is slightly inferior." The man laughed and said, "However, there are still martial arts masters like Guan and Zhang in charge. Do you dare to

So, your martial arts ability is higher than the other two? Looking at your attire, you are not riding a white horse and carrying a silver spear, nor are you a big and strong man. I guess you are the so-called Lu Bu among men?"

Lu Bu smiled slightly, but did not answer. Instead, he turned to the person following Cao Cao and said, "E Lai, do you know what the so-called big and strong means?"

"Hey, you bastard, what do you mean by big and strong? Are you talking about me?" Seeing this, the ancient evil leader Dian Wei also understood what was happening and shouted at the top of his voice.

"One is Lu, two is Zhao, and three is Dian Wei!" The man laughed and said, "I have heard your statements before. It is said that you are more powerful than Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. After seeing you today, it is indeed true!"

"You're welcome!" Lü Bu said with a smile, "I don't know who you are, but I think you must be a famous person who will be known throughout the ages!"

"My name is Boyi, but I am not a famous person. I guess you haven't heard of me!" Boyi said with a smile. Boyi lived during the time of Yao and Shun. He was the 2300th generation grandson of Emperor Yan and the great-grandson of Gonggong. He lived around BC. The Four Yue were officials during the time of Yao and Shun, in charge of the affairs of the princes. The Boyi mentioned here is one of the Four Yue officials.

He is also one of the people who are commemorated. According to legend, Boyi was of the Jiang surname and the great-nephew of Gonggong, a descendant of Emperor Yan Shennong. He once served as the high priest of Emperor Zhuanxu and later became the first generation of Taiyue. Taiyue is Huashan. Because the descendants of Emperor Yan worshipped the gods of heaven, they believed that the mountains were high and connected to the sky, and that they could reach the gods of heaven. In their eyes, Huashan was the highest peak, so they called it Taiyue. Later, because of the sacrifice to the gods of heaven, the official position of Taiyue was created, and Boyi was the first Taiyue. After that, the Taiyue tribe did not forget the tradition of worshiping mountains whenever they moved to a new place.

Therefore, the Four Mountains (the highest peaks in the four directions of the east, south, west and north with the Taiyue tribe as the center, which later evolved into an official position held by the tribal leaders) were created to be in charge of the sacrifices to the four sacred mountains. They were all descendants of Boyi.

Of course, this so-called minister of Emperor Zhuanxu was the so-called Boyi's father, the famous imperial teacher. It is hard to say whether Boyi and Boyi's father are the same person. Boyi, the great-grandson of Gonggong, was the teacher of Emperor Zhuanxu. He assisted Emperor Yao and was in charge of rituals. Emperor Shun formally appointed him as Zhizong. When Dayu was controlling floods and acting as the emperor, Boyi assisted him wholeheartedly and became Yu's confidant.

Boyi, Emperor Shun granted Boyi the surname Jiang in his later years, and made him Marquis of Lu, in charge of the Four Mountains. His descendants therefore also took Lu as their surname. In the eras of Yao, Shun, and Yu the Great, the Four Mountains were mountain priests of the tribal alliance. Boyi was later revered as the ancestor of the surname Lu.

"What? The ancestor of the surname Lu?" Hearing Jiang Jun's introduction, Lu Bu was unhappy: "Why do you bring me up?" "My Lord, calm down. This is not something to worry about!" Jiang Jun laughed and said, "What has appeared at this moment is only the origin of the surname. Think about it, if there is an Emperor Gaozu, or someone else, then the Han Dynasty will be in chaos.

Wouldn't the royal family be even more furious? In fact, there is no direct relationship between the two of you. "

"Mr. Boyi, I wonder if the famous Emperor Zhuanxu's teacher, Boyi's father, is you?" Jiang Jun greeted with a smile.

"Emperor Zhuanxu was much earlier than Emperor Shun. What relationship do I have with him?" Boyi said with a smile, "I am currently serving as the Zhizong under Emperor Shun." "The so-called Zhizong can actually be said to be the Ministry of Rites among the six ministries in later generations." Jiucai Tianzhu explained, "However, the rites of emperors in later generations are still important and are one of the six ministries. The rites of heaven and man in ancient times, the communication between gods and men, are not less important.

It goes without saying that this is something that ordinary people can handle. "

"In that case, could it be that Boyi can also sense the spirits of the gods?" Jiang Jun asked doubtfully.

"If we talk about sensing the spirits, we should undoubtedly talk about witches first!" said the Nine-Colored Sky Pillar with a smile.

This witch is not the witch clan in later legends, but a wizard from the ancient ancestors.

Pictographic. According to oracle bone script, it resembles the props used by ancient witches. The small seal script resembles the dancing sleeves of a witch. Original meaning: In ancient times, it was called a person who could summon spirits by dancing.

From the perspective of the character shape, the two horizontal lines above and below the word "Wu" represent heaven and earth, meaning a person who can communicate between heaven and earth. Wu (Mo) is the original pronunciation of this character. In ancient Central Plains, witches and demons were not distinguished, and it was a legitimate and noble profession. Performing duties such as sacrifice, worship, medicine, divination, and calculation, they were senior advisors to tribal leaders. They enjoyed a high status in social groups.

The supreme "power bestowed by God". Their descendants were given this profession as their surname by those in power. Wu (wu), this pronunciation originated after the Qin and Han Dynasties, when witchcraft was popular in the south. After the transformation of the meaning of the word in the dialect and the evolution of time, Gu and witchcraft were linked together. Later, Gu and witch were not distinguished, but Mo was separated! Gu Wu is a semi-positive word, while Mo later became a real derogatory word. Today, most descendants who migrated from the ancient Central Plains (now known as the Hakka ethnic group) use the pronunciation of Wu (Mo) instead of Wu (w

The Wu (wu) sound was ignored when the pinyin rules were formulated in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

In the ancient times, ferocious beasts were rampant in the wilderness, and goblins, monsters, and even gods, monsters, ghosts, and demons ruled the earth.

The ancient people, your ancestors, were born on the land of Kyushu. They begged God for help during floods, struggled for survival during wildfires, their corpses lay scattered across thousands of miles due to epidemics, and their blood flowed like a river under the claws of ferocious beasts.

Your ancestors were almost wiped out, and they cried and wailed in agony, with resentment rising straight to the sky, shaking the heaven and earth.

The heart of heaven is the most benevolent. At that time, among the people there emerged a shaman. He understood the way of heaven, understood the principles of heaven, and had infinite power.

A witch is a human being who exists between heaven and earth, who is equal and unique, and who supports each other. He is a witch.

To cure illness, confusion, disasters, and all sufferings. To govern etiquette and uphold traditions, so that the human race can continue to spread across the nine states, this is called witch.

——"Ode to the Witch" Blood Red

Praising the witch in this way cannot be said to fail to express the witch's characteristics, but it would be biased to attribute all the credit for the ancient ancestors' struggle and rise in the chaos to the witch alone.

I won't say more about this for now, just to say whether the witches and wizards are related to the rituals of heaven and man, I think it should be correct. The history of witches in China is very long. In primitive society, because humans had little knowledge and did not understand certain situations in this society, they misunderstood the natural thunder, lightning, rain, volcanic eruptions, etc.

People would mistakenly believe that fire, earthquakes and other phenomena were caused by the anger of a certain god, and would be in a state of fear all day, fearing that the god would be unhappy and bring disaster upon them, such as disease or plague. Therefore, primitive humans used certain things for worship, because they thought these things were the incarnation of gods, and gods were derived from these things, thus giving rise to "totem worship". There are certain rituals in worship, through which people express their piety to gods, and also express some of their wishes, such as having children, longevity, good weather and good harvest, etc., and rituals require a leader, who is usually the leader.

This kind of people organize various ceremonies and convey people's wishes to gods. Such people are called "witches". The witch has great power because he is the intermediary between gods and people and can know the will of gods. For ordinary people, it can be said that he is like the incarnation of gods and the spokesperson of gods in the world. Therefore, the witch controls the functions of sacrifice, medicine, and

The two have the same origin. In Chinese characters, the word for doctor was originally written as 毉, with the word for witch below. It was not until the Zhou Dynasty that the two were separated. But even today, some remote and ignorant people still believe that witches can cure people through witchcraft when they are sick.

Cure.

Not to mention witches and doctors, but generally speaking, if one wants to communicate with heaven and get it heard by heaven, one undoubtedly needs the help of witches and wizards. Therefore, the Ministry of Rites or Zhizong cannot escape the category of witches.

On the other hand, there are also several famous witches appearing in ancient legends. Of course, we can assume that since these guys have the surname "Wu", they are undoubtedly witches.

The most famous ones are Wu Xian, Wu Peng, etc. Their figures or their descendants appear in the legends of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and other generations of holy emperors. The mystery behind this is self-evident.

Of course, having said that, we have to mention again the uniqueness of China.

Why do I say this? Because among human races, whether in legend or historical facts, most of them are based on imperial power and supplemented by divine power.

In ancient legends such as the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, there are often qigong practitioners, immortals, and others assisting or descending to the mortal world. The Human Emperor is one of the three emperors of the heaven, earth, and man, and commanding ghosts and gods is a piece of cake for him.

Needless to say, feudal dynasties did rely on religious sects to gain power and rule, but there were basically no religious leaders or Taoist priests ruling the country. (I won’t go into the issue of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Cult, establishing the Ming Dynasty.)

Therefore, let's not talk about anything else. In short, although there were emperors who sought immortality, it was just the emperor's selfish desire for immortality, not a belief in religion. This is different from other places. Everyone knows that the so-called Crusades and other things are clearly fighting for religion, the so-called religious invasion. Of course, it cannot be denied that there was an invasion for resources, but religion definitely played a significant role.
