Chapter 258 (2/2)

At first, he didn't expect much. After all, the energy flowing in this space is too strange and doesn't seem to be the power system of monks. Although Xingyan a Meng knows a lot about truth cultivation, she doesn't even know about other aspects of supernatural knowledge as early as the deep mountain of ordinary people (actually present gods) a month ago.

Unexpectedly, Qin Xingyan really knew some of them.

”Gouweiba grass” is probably a cloud exhibition symbolizing Taoism. Originally, cloud exhibition was used to expel mosquitoes and other things, but now it can be extended to expel all kinds of unnecessary things; If I guess correctly, the three steamed buns should be filled with pork, beef and mutton. These three are the so-called ”three animals” in the past, and the steamed buns themselves have an allusion... ”

”Is it Zhuge Liang?”

Xu Shenxing also heard the rumor and asked casually.

Although the steamed bread in some places now refers to the pure flour steamed bread without stuffing, it can be traced back to a more ancient era, steamed bread actually has stuffing.

It is said that when Zhuge Liang calmed the Nanman, he needed to pass through a big river, but the water of the river was extremely fast and turbulent, and it was impossible to build a bridge and cross a boat. Local people said that only human heads could be used to sacrifice the river god, and the river would calm down.

Zhuge Liang could not bear to kill civilians in order to cross the river. He took their heads to sacrifice to the river god. So he killed sheep and pigs, wrapped the meat in dough, called ”steamed bread”, and threw it into the river to sacrifice instead of their heads. As a result, the river was calm, and steamed bread has become a widely spread Chinese snack, which has been passed down to the present.

”Yes, steamed bread itself originated from the ritual used for sacrifice and can be used as tribute. When the meat stuffing contained in it is complete with pigs, cattle and sheep, the effect of sacrifice will be several times better. Moreover, many rituals can be used in general. It is one of the cheapest and easy-to-use rituals and array cores in this era. There is no one.”

“……”

How to say, the ritual items of this era are unexpectedly civilian.

”I'm not sure about the last jade wine bottle, but if there's no accident, it's probably not boiled water, but rain. This kind of water was also mentioned in journey to the West. It belongs to rootless water and was considered the cleanest water in ancient China... Although modern technology breaks this saying, many times, What constitutes a ritual or array is not the effect of the object itself, but the meaning it contains. ”

”Dog tail grass dispels interference, three animal steamed bread as the core, and rootless water drives Reiki. As long as they are properly placed, these three can form a very common array.”

With that, Qin Xingyan explained the relevant situation of the array to Xu Shenxing in detail.

After she finished, the expression on Xu Shenxing's face also changed into a look of understanding.

”Thanks. If it goes well, maybe I can catch up with going home for dinner after solving this matter.”

After hanging up the phone, Xu Shenxing left the warehouse and walked slowly towards the hall of the villa.
