Chapter 1115 Old Manuscript
"Jiannan, what's wrong with you?" Feng Yuan saw that he was in a daze, so he gently pushed him.

Fan Jiannan came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, I'm just looking at these manuscripts. It records some deeds of the Westward Sorcerers back then. But it can be seen that it was not written by the first generation of Westward Sorcerers, but the holy chapter It was sorted out by descendants of the Brotherhood."

"Did they mention the secret of longevity in these manuscripts?" Feng Yuan asked curiously.

Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "No, but they mentioned that the tripod outside is indeed one of the Kyushu tripods. Moreover, they have also confirmed the identity of those who went west. They are indeed the descendants of the Zhou Dynasty. People. And the ancestors once served as Taizhu in the Zhou Dynasty. Taizhu was an official in charge of sacrifices. Not only that, but also the clan members of the Zhou royal family. It said that they were in the midst of heaven and man, and they used words to tell the gods during the sacrifice. Greeting the gods and sending them off, using ghosts and gods to show them off, praying for good fortune, and praying for eternal chastity. Taizhu is always stationed in the shrine, and he comes to the shrine at every age, holds the tablet, and reads the wishes."

"It seems that he is a shaman from the Zhou Dynasty." Feng Yuan nodded.

"Yes, to discuss carefully, these people are probably relatives of the Linghu family." Fan Jiannan looked at Linghu Yun and said with a slight smile, "It also records in detail how they fled with the tripod when the Zhou Dynasty fell. , and have been living incognito ever since.”

"But why have we five arts people been passed down for many years, why have we never heard of such a group of magicians?" Feng Yuan frowned.

"Who can tell clearly about such a long time ago?" Fan Jiannan smiled wryly. "Besides, the origin of the Wushu people is the alchemist under Qin Shihuang, who escaped from Xianyang to hide among the people only later. Strictly speaking, these survivors of the Zhou Dynasty are still deadly enemies with our ancestors of the Wushu people. Eastern Zhou Dynasty. How could there be an intersection with us?"

Feng Yuan nodded and said, "That's true. But since they chose to hide, in the end, why did they take this tripod and travel far into the Western Regions all the way to Europe?"

Fan Jiannan looked at the manuscript and said in a low voice, "They also have some scattered records about this point. It should be that some of these ancient magicians had a premonition of the rise of the Mongols. Since there is no hope of restoring the country, the powerful alien race will sweep the Central Plains again. .So these magicians who lived in seclusion for a long time began to choose a completely different path. With the opening of the Silk Road in the 2nd century BC, the exchange of civilizations between the East and the West was accelerated, and Rome was at the end of the trade route. China named it 'Great Qin'."

"It turns out that they came to Rome in this way. It was to avoid becoming slaves of a foreign race." Feng Yuan whispered.

"The Han people at that time were not the people who suffered from the persecution of the Qing Dynasty and had consumed their blood and courage. They were brave and resolute, and there was a strong character that would never yield to the barbarians, especially those who were proud of the descendants of the Zhou family. Therefore, these shamans migrated from the whole family in China, including some Taoists, forming a quite powerful force of shamans." Fan Jiannan sighed, "Although the information is not very detailed, but I can imagine how difficult it was for them at that time. I am afraid that many people died along the way, but after all, they came to this strange land and took root."

"It turns out that this is the Western Artisan back then." Feng Yuan couldn't help being awed.

Linghu Yun couldn't help being a little discouraged and said, "Aren't these manuscripts worthless, and there is no mention of the secret of longevity."

"No." Fan Jiannan shook his head and said, "But they mentioned something. This may explain why the witchcraft of the Brotherhood of the Holy Chapter is so weird. It is completely different from the witchcraft we usually encounter."

"Oh? Why is that?" Feng Yuan asked strangely.

Fan Jiannan patted the manuscript, and said in a low voice, "On the way to the west, these sorcerers once merged with a group of sorcerers from Central Asia, mainly Zoroastrians. Two witchcrafts of different origins were carried out once. Integration and communication. By the time they traveled all the way west to Rome, they had almost formed another style of witchcraft. Compared with the original Huang Lao's technique, it was more focused on Central Asian witchcraft. Then they began to quickly integrate into Europe, Making friends with the powerful and the church has faintly become a force that cannot be underestimated. Later, it even became the underground executor of the Vatican."

Fan Jiannan closed the volume of handwriting, and couldn't help but sigh.This is the history of blood and tears struggle of a tribe of witchcraft.It's just that he didn't find any records about the secret of longevity.

Feng Yuan couldn't help being a little disappointed and said, "It's fine that they didn't mention the secret of longevity, but didn't they even mention a little bit of shamanism?"

Linghu Yun sighed and said, "Looking at the appearance of this manuscript, it is so old that it can almost be broken in one breath. Perhaps when this manuscript was written, the secret of longevity has not been discovered."

Fan Jiannan's heart skipped a beat, he turned his head and said, "What did you say?"

Linghu Yun was taken aback for a moment and said, "I mean maybe at that time, the secret of longevity hadn't been discovered yet."

Fan Jiannan clapped his hands suddenly and said, "That's right, this is it!"

"What is this?" Linghu Yun looked at Fan Jiannan inexplicably, wondering why he was so excited.

Fan Jiannan paced back and forth, "This shows that they didn't pay attention to the shamanism at the beginning, and they didn't know the secret of longevity. At least the group of Westward Sorcerers who first arrived in Europe didn't know the secret of longevity or the shamanism. matter. So he didn't mention it in this manuscript that sorted out the records."

"What exactly do you want to explain?" Feng Yuan couldn't help asking.

"What I want to explain is that all of this was not the case at the beginning. From the discovery of Wuwen to the discovery of the secret of longevity, it has also gone through a process of continuous exploration and exploration. Someone must have picked up from this bronze tripod. I found some enlightenment, and then I thought of Wuwen. After all, these magicians were the descendants of Zhou Dynasty Taizhu." Fan Jiannan explained.

"You think, the Linghu family is one of the branches of the Zhou royal family, and even you have inherited part of the shamanism. And Taizhu, who is in charge of national sacrifices, is also a clan member of the Zhou royal family. If you can do Taizhu, you can also say It was the leading witch in those days. Combining these conditions, it is not a strange thing that these Westward Sorcerers have Wuwen in their hands. It’s just that they, Westwardly Spells, may not have realized that there is hidden in the Wuwen. But their descendants gradually began to understand the meaning of witchcraft through comparative research, and then mastered some kind of advanced witchcraft, such as the secret of longevity."

"You also believe that there is a secret of longevity?" Linghu Yun said excitedly.

"It's not that I believe it, but that I'm speculating about various possibilities." Fan Jiannan said seriously, "Until there is no actual evidence, I will never easily believe in the secret of longevity."
