Chapter 1081

Although Aunt Linghu didn't continue, from her expression, Fan Jiannan guessed that she was thinking about Linghu Bai.

Back then Linghu Bai also firmly believed in this rumor, so he took the risk to test him with his own body, but in the end he became gray overnight and aged prematurely.This matter has always been a scar in the hearts of Linghu's family, until Aunt Linghu mentions it now, she is also a little sad.

Fan Jiannan shut his mouth knowingly, so as not to bring up other people's sadness.

He shut up, but the stubborn sixth uncle of the Wu family smiled coldly, "Our Wu family also has some bizarre rumors about these witch writings, do you want to hear them?"

Fan Jiannan nodded.

"Our witch family doesn't have so many sayings. We just call these witch scripts one of the nine wonders. It is rumored that these witch scripts were handed down by seven great witches and contain the ultimate secret of witchcraft, but no one has ever solved it. Until A certain ancestor of the Wu family in history said that these Wu scripts are not complete, so people in the Wu family have been studying these things in the past, but none of them succeeded." Uncle Wu Sixth said indifferently, "But even the incomplete Wu script, after passing through After so many generations of collation and excavation, there is always something to be discovered.”

"Oh?" Fan Jiannan was slightly taken aback, "What discovery?"

"The ancestors of the Wu family once experimented with these witch scripts, and found that the witch scripts did not look like a certain type of font no matter what angle they looked at. So they made a bold guess." Uncle Wu Liu looked at Fan Jiannan With a glance, they took a puff of the flue, "They suspect that these Shamanic characters may have been formed earlier than the text itself. Perhaps at that time, this Shamanic language did not even have a fixed pronunciation, nor did it represent a specific meaning."

"There is no pronunciation, no meaning, so is that still a word?" Fan Jiannan asked curiously.

"That's right. No matter what these shamanic characters are, they should have specific meanings. It can't be the pictures drawn by the ancestors for the sake of looking good, right?" Aunt Linghu said disdainfully.

"Hmph, a woman's opinion." Uncle Wu gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Let me ask you, what is the earliest written language in China today?"

"I know this, it should be oracle bone inscriptions and bronze inscriptions." Feng Yuan responded immediately.

"That's right, this girl is a bit knowledgeable." Uncle Wu Liu nodded and said, "Do you know that even if people don't understand oracle bone inscriptions, they can guess the meaning of a word based on the shape of oracle bone inscriptions. You know this is Why? Because this kind of ancient writing focuses not on sound, but on shape. So Chinese writing is still a kind of pictographic writing after all.”

Fan Jiannan couldn't help but look at this old man differently. The sixth uncle of the Wu family was old and thin, with the image of a poor old farmer.To be able to say such polite words.

Aunt Linghu obviously didn't buy his account, and said with a sneer, "Just now I said that the witch script has no specific meaning, but now I say that the shape of the characters represents a specific meaning. Isn't this contradictory? I think you witch scripts have no specific meaning. Home is nothing more than that.”

The sixth uncle of the Wu family was not angry at all, but said coldly, "Why are you so anxious? What I just said was just ordinary oracle bone inscriptions. I haven't started to talk about wuwen yet. Do you think why wuwen was created? It's because The needs of shamans at that time, in ancient tribal shamans had a lofty status, and they must have superior knowledge. At that time, when people were sick, they went to shamans. When in doubt, they still went to shamans.”

"Yes, so the wizards at that time were equivalent to the high-level intellectuals of today, the existence of the elites of the era." Fan Jiannan smiled wryly.

"That's right, but wizards also have to pass it on. When the older generation of wizards dies, they will naturally pass on their knowledge to the next generation. For example, in herbal medicine, which kind of herbal medicine can cure diseases, and which one can cure diseases?" Can eat dead people. Another example is the moon’s waxing and waning, and the celestial calendar. These things are directly related to spring plowing and autumn harvest, and are the key to maintaining the survival of farming tribes. All these knowledge must be passed on, which led to the birth of writing.” The Wu Family Uncle Six said calmly. "And the earliest birth was the shamanistic language, a kind of writing that was circulated among shamans."

This time, Fan Jiannan was really convinced that the Wu family was indeed the source of witches.This sixth uncle of the witch family is very knowledgeable, which is not something that ordinary witches can have.Seeing that Sixth Uncle Wu had said a lot, he quickly got up and poured him a cup of tea on the table.

Uncle Wu Liu nodded slightly, and said lightly, "Now what I want to say is the key. In addition to what I just mentioned, the most important thing is the inheritance of witchcraft. The inheritance of witchcraft Whether it is powerful or not is directly related to the sorcerer's own status. As we said just now, the early texts represented certain meanings in images. So what about witchcraft? How to express it in words?"

Fan Jiannan shook his head in a daze and said, "Sixth Uncle, you're really asking me this question. I'm completely confused about witchcraft. It's different from the yin-yang and five elements used by our Wushu people. It's a lot unreasonable." Everything can only be produced by witchcraft, and there is no reason to explain it, let alone how to express it in words."

Sixth Uncle Wu smiled wryly and said, "Let's not talk about you, even if it's an old man from the Wu family, how many people can fully explain witchcraft? The reason why witchcraft is different from your spells or spells is because It has no reasonable explanation. You can use yin and yang, five elements and eight trigrams to explain everything, but you can’t use it to explain witchcraft. Because witchcraft itself has no explanation.”

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "It should be like this, or maybe witchcraft also has internal connections and laws, but we haven't grasped it yet."

"However, there is another explanation behind this lack of explanation." Uncle Wu Sixth said slowly, he glanced at Fan Jiannan and Feng Yuan, did not continue talking, but bowed his head and took a sip of tea.

"An explanation without an explanation?" Fan Jiannan frowned, "What do you mean by always, can you explain it more clearly?"

"Okay, I'll tell you clearly." Uncle Wu Liu said lightly, "If I use witchcraft now, can you feel it?"

"This?" Fan Jiannan frowned and hesitated, "Witchcraft is consistent with our spells in some respects. As long as you use witchcraft, it will definitely cause subtle changes in the surrounding magic power. I should be able to detect it." of."

"That's right. Magical power! This is what witchcraft and you Wushu people have in common. This is not only the case between us, but even those Western witchcraft, regardless of their reciting spells and drawing runes, It looks gimmicky, but when using witchcraft, its essence is also to drive magic power." Uncle Wu Liu said lightly, "Now do you think of something?"

"Spell power? Pictographs?" Fan Jiannan silently recited these two words, his eyes suddenly lit up.
