Chapter 498: Witchcraft_1
In the car, after a moment of silence, Yang Kai, who was sitting in the back seat, suddenly spoke to you, "What is this witchcraft you just mentioned?"
"Wizards originate from the Ancient Barbarian Era, thought to first appear in Chiyou’s Jiuli Tribe. Wizards held a revered status in the Jiuli, capable of divining fortune, understanding the past, and predicting the future. Chiyou led the troops of Jiuli in fierce battle against the alliance led by the Yellow Emperor, which included the Yan and Huang tribes, in a conflict known as Chasing Deer. However, Chiyou was eventually defeated and killed, and the wizards of the Jiuli Tribe were all slain," Wei Shuxian narrated as if he were telling a story, sharing the information he knew.
"If all the wizards are dead, why is there still witchcraft around now?"
Wei Shuxian sighed softly and said, "Although the Yellow Emperor nominally unified the Huaxia Tribe, some remote areas remained autonomous, with the emperor’s edicts hardly reaching them. Wizards were a very special existence; each one could predict their own lifespan. Most of them would start looking for a successor three years before the end of their earthly life to pass on their witchcraft knowledge."
"Is witchcraft really that terrifying?"
"Xiangxi Corpse Driving, Miao Region Gu Technique, Thai Ghost Tech, Spells can all be categorized as witchcraft. Do you think these things are terrifying?"
After hearing this, Yang Kai couldn’t help swallowing his saliva and asked, "What do we do now?"
Wei Shuxian turned to look at you, then said to Yang Kai, "The Yellow Emperor himself was a Taoist successor, well-versed in the supreme teachings of Taoism. The existence of Taoism not only plays a role in subduing ghosts and demons but also in suppressing witchcraft. So, common witchcraft doesn’t have much effect on us who have begun to learn the principles of Taoism, because as long as we understand the principles behind witchcraft, it’s not that scary. However, if the other party knows advanced witchcraft, it’s pretty dangerous."
As he spoke, Wei Shuxian looked back at you, "Old Shu, have you found Black Bull?"
"Yes, I’ve found him."
