I gather power with my gift of God and build the heaven.

In the beginning, shamanism did have twelve immortals.

It was only later, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, that a large number of Han people from the Central Plains entered the Northeast and combined with Taoism, Buddhism and other sects, which eventually led to the worship of the Five Immortals. Instead, Shamanism gradually declined.

If it is just an imaginary god, then naturally it can only be the birth of a spiritual aggregate.

But these animals actually have bodies.

With the worship and offerings of the people, a large amount of spiritual power gathered, causing the spiritual wisdom of the animals being worshipped to rapidly improve.

In the end, their spiritual wisdom will not be any weaker than that of humans.

However, they are just animals after all. Their initial spirituality is not completely blank, but it is full of animal instincts.

The ambitions and desires of the leaders of these forces also began to grow day by day.

There are ancient legends and of course the Twelve Ancestral Witches in later novels.

At most, they will form a spiritual aggregate, especially in Sichuan, where there is spiritual power and national destiny. Their spiritual aggregate is purer and they must all have spirituality with firm beliefs, but at the same time they are also the weakest.

Finally, they began to choose to unite, and eventually gradually formed several large-scale united forces, fighting each other, but also facing the outside world together.

Instead, he sent troops to contact Guizhou and some remaining powerful chieftain tribes in Yunnan, preparing to gather everyone's strength and capture Sichuan in one fell swoop.

Therefore, after a fierce battle, although those small forces were annexed, they also suffered heavy losses.

Moreover, during this process, he can also rely on his own great power and strength to gradually conquer many other forces.

Perhaps, he could learn from the historical uncle Liu Bei and establish his own "Kingdom of Shu" and then spy on the Central Plains.

However, in border areas, especially in the southwest, witch sacrifices gradually became popular, and even the legend of the ten ancient witches began to spread again.

Since the Ming army could be easily defeated by them, rescuing the civilian army would only mean spending more effort and causing more deaths.

Together with these spiritual powers, all of them are gathered by the person who raises the Gu.

In particular, the expectations, wishes, etc. of the people who raise the poisonous insects will continuously transmit spiritual power to these poisonous insects.

By the time the Salvation Army occupied Datong and Xuanfu, he had nominally controlled most of Yunnan and began to set his sights on Sichuan, the land of abundance.

After acquiring the art of witchcraft, that is, the methods of witchcraft and raising witchcraft, his strength began to improve further.

In this way, Shamanism once again flourished in Northeast China and other places.

And as long as we can occupy Sichuan, all this will be worth it.

And if there are enough people performing sacrifices and offerings, they may even become like the leaders of various powers, forming a special power similar to the destiny of a country, which can interfere with the rules of heaven and earth to a certain extent and respond to the prayers of believers.

There is another reason. The Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is known as eight mountains, one water, and one piece of farmland. Although it is an important military location, it is really inconvenient to travel to and from it.

In this way, there is a witch as a spiritual guide and poisonous insects as a fighting force.

Therefore, Pu Mingsheng only heard rumors about the situation of the People's Salvation Army.

In the past, the Gu that was raised were essentially just some special poisonous insects.

It can be said that Mu Tianbo, the Duke of Qian, grew up in the hands of women, and he is only fourteen or fifteen years old. How capable can he be?

Even as the world advanced and the energy of heaven and earth became denser, many guards in Prince Mu's Palace began to develop their own true qi.

Therefore, the gods that the shamans communicate with during rituals are not necessarily the Ten Shamans, but many legendary ancient gods, as well as the heaven and earth themselves.

In just three to five days, Kunming was conquered by Pu Mingsheng, and Duke of Qian, Mu Tianbo, was led by his mother and the Ruan brothers, his generals and stewards, to escape.

At the beginning, they naturally would not choose a force as powerful as themselves, but would choose to annex a smaller force.

However, some relatively powerful spiritual aggregates have emerged on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.

In fact, by this time in history, Pu's reputation was probably dead.

However, with the increase of energy in the world today, these specially cultivated poisonous insects have begun to truly possess some special abilities.

Even though there are virtual gods like the Dragon Immortal among the Twelve Immortals, as long as other animals have extraordinary divine powers, the lack of one or two virtual gods will not have any big impact.

The first people to learn about and experiment with this method were naturally the leaders of various forces.

This makes them possess humanity, animality and divinity at the same time.

However, faced with the difficult-to-detect poison from the insects, they often died miserably before the battle even began.

He inherited the title of Duke of Qian in the first year of Chongzhen, when he was only ten years old.

With the advancement of the world, the energy concentration of heaven and earth continues to increase, and the existence of spiritual power has made the witch sacrifices in ancient legends once again popular.

Humanity allows them to communicate with humans;

Their bestiality makes them bloodthirsty, and coupled with countless mixed memories, their intelligence is often filled with confusion, tyranny, chaos and bloodthirstiness. Compared with ordinary sacrifices and offerings, they prefer blood food;

However, the existence of divinity allows them to mobilize the power of heaven and earth to a certain extent.

As a result, Pu Mingsheng, relying on his greatly increased strength and the achievements of conquering Kunming and defeating Prince Mu's palace, began to recruit soldiers and expand his influence, forming alliances with close forces and sending troops to encircle and suppress those who refused to obey.

Naturally, there is no such thing as a witch clan.

The Ming court was so weak, so even if the Salvation Army defeated the Ming court, how strong could they be?

At this time, Pu Mingsheng was very proud of himself because he mastered the art of witchcraft, captured Kunming, expelled the people from the Mu Palace who had ruled Yunnan for generations, and nominally ruled most of Yunnan.

As the energy of heaven and earth increases, humans and animals are constantly becoming stronger. Even those insects that were insignificant in the past and seemed to be easily crushed to death are also evolving rapidly.

However, there is actually no difference between them and other virtual gods.

Needless to say, this outside force is the official power of the Ming court.

Shamanism, which had been gradually suppressed and controlled by Huang Taiji, was once again on the verge of getting out of control.

However, it is still a considerable force, and has a large number of believers, which makes Huang Taiji very wary, and he begins to find ways to weaken the power of Shamanism again.

Even in Yunnan, which had been guarded by the Mu Palace for generations, a large-scale rebellion broke out.

But now, they must no longer exist.

As time goes by, the spirituality of these poisonous insects will begin to increase continuously.

Of course, shamanic rituals are mainly for communicating with heaven, not specifically referring to any particular deity.

As time went by, conflicts began to break out between the two sides.

They used poisonous insects to kill government officials, generals, and others sent by the Ming court, and soon achieved a great victory.

However, there were indeed legends about witches in the past, but they were about the Ten Witches.

However, they are not the ancestor witches, but the ancient legendary gods recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

After being worshipped and offered sacrifices by humans, they integrated a large amount of chaotic spiritual memories with humans' understanding of them, instantly tampering with their cognition, and they really believed that they were gods and immortals.

Shamanism developed rapidly, relying on the twelve immortals who truly possessed extraordinary powers, and gathered a large number of believers.

After conquering Kunming, Pu's power increased again. Naturally, he would not be content to stay in a small place.

But now, due to the advancement of the world and the emergence of the energy of heaven and earth, they are not only alive and well, but have also attacked and broken through Kunming in advance.

Gradually, they were no longer satisfied with their own little piece of land and began to try to expand their territory.

And after reaching a certain level, these spiritual aggregates can indeed communicate with some shamans and witches, convey some vague ideas, and show some magical powers.

Especially after Huang Taiji's defeat this time, his prestige plummeted.

However, the development of sects will inevitably cause certain impacts on the rule of rulers.

Even as time passed, the method of raising Gu began to spread quietly.

Most of the spiritual power generated by the offerings is assimilated into the spiritual force.

Including the twelve ancestor witches in later legends, Zhurong, Gonggong, Dijiang, Houtu, etc., even Pangu, as well as some gods in the legends of the Central Plains, are all within the scope of their worship.

Even though there were all kinds of miraculous legends about the People's Salvation Army, he did not take them seriously.

Of course, although he was full of ambition and pride, he was also a local tyrant after all, so he would not blindly attack the Sichuan Rescue Army on his own.

At that time, Mu Tianbo, the current Duke of Qian in the Mu Palace, was just a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old.

Pu Mingsheng was thinking about how to capture Sichuan, which was known as the Land of Abundance.

Therefore, their legends reappeared in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau in the southwest, and even in some places in Sichuan.

However, they have shaman priests and witches, and poison masters who control poisonous insects, and other forces also have them.

In addition to this most orthodox witchcraft, there is also the Gu master who is popular in the Miao area.

Especially after the Salvation Army occupied Sichuan, the Ming court did not take it back for a long time. These chieftain tribes seemed to have seen the weakness of the Ming court and launched a complete rebellion.

It was not so bad in the inland area of Ming Dynasty, where Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism existed, and Taoism and Taoism were even more popular.

Even if they are stronger than the Ming army, how can they compare with the witchcraft techniques they master?

All duties in Prince Mu's mansion were taken over by the Governor of Yunnan, and all matters, big or small, in the mansion were handled by his mother, Madam Chen, and the housekeepers, the Ruan brothers.

In his opinion, even if the Salvation Army had some magical abilities, they were no different from the Ming Army. They were just exaggerated intentionally or unintentionally during the process of dissemination.

When the dynasty went north out of the Great Wall, attacked Ligdan Khan and Huang Taiji, occupied the Hetao Plain and Shanxi Xingdusi, Pu Mingsheng, whose strength had greatly increased, finally led his troops to attack Kunming.

With so many believers offering sacrifices and worship, the power of the Twelve Immortals expanded rapidly, although it was still far less than that of Huang Taiji.

The ten witches are Wuxian, Wuji, Wupan, Wupeng, Wugu, Wuzhen, Wuli, Wudi, Wuxie and Wuluo.

Therefore, the newly born poisonous insects will be close to the person who raises them, and can even achieve a certain degree of telepathy and move according to their will.

In this way, some poisonous insects in legends and even in later novels began to be cultivated by poison masters.

There are twelve immortals in the northeast, and in the mountains of Yunnan and Guizhou in the south, there are also special existences, such as witchcraft.

Not only the four great beiles who were suppressed by him, but also the other three beiles except Daishan, rose up again, with a tendency to compete with him.

However, it has become very difficult to move them now, and he still needs to plan slowly.

Therefore, the exchanges between Yunnan and Guizhou and Sichuan are not as frequent as the exchanges between the People's Salvation Army and other regions.

Of course, let’s not worry about whether these people really existed in history.

The reputation of Tusi Pu of Ami Prefecture had already begun to rise during the previous rebellion of She Chongming, and he gradually gathered a large number of people.

As for those who are stubborn and unyielding, we can only send them to see the gods.

At that time, he led many chieftain tribes with the powerful and mysterious witchcraft.

Even if his reputation prevents him from occupying the Central Plains, he can still rely on the art of witchcraft to maintain his country and dominate the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. There should be no problem, right?
