034. This person is not simple (1)
Where did Qi Yu come from and why did Bo Yi know it? Huwa secretly asked Hougang. Although Hougang had heard of the name of Qi Yu and knew some of its legends, he knew it ominously. In the past few days, he asked Chonghua for advice privately. Chonghua gave a detailed introduction.
Qi Yu is a minister of Huangdi and a minister of Heaven. The legend does not clearly indicate which Huangdi it is. Shaohao and Zhuanxu are all possible, but the most likely one is to refer to Xuanyuan Tiandi. Qi Yu once participated in the battle of Lishan that killed Chiyou.
This is the first time Huwa heard about the Battle of Lishan. It was not the Battle of Banquan when Huangdi defeated Chiyou's army. At that time, Chiyou's defeat was decided, and this was the last battle he was captured and killed by Huangdi. The name of this battle is also related to the legendary "Chiyou throws weapons at Lishan". In that ancient battlefield, Huwa and Hou Gang and others should have already entered, just around the territory of the Thunder God.
It is said that later, a tribe leader named Erfu was instigated by a minister named Wei and plotted to murder Wu Wei. After learning about it, Huangdi punished Erfu and Wei, and ordered Wu Peng, Wu Ri, Wu Lu, Wu Fan and Wu Xiang to save Qi Yu with the magic medicine of immortality. Unexpectedly, after Qi Yu was resurrected, he lost his nature and gradually turned into a ferocious beast with a cruel temperament.
Huangdi thought that he was successful and innocent, so he could not bear to kill him, so he exiled him to the depths of the Southern Desert and let him die. This is the origin of the ferocious beast, the wizard. What Chonghua knows is much more detailed than what Hougang knows. Although Chonghua did not see Bo Yi talking to the ferocious beast, he could also guess what Bo Yi must have said, but he did not want to be heard by the five great wizards of Jiuli.
After Hou Gang told Huwa about these situations, Huwa also told Xuanyuan. In the valley of Pengshan, Xuanyuan said in surprise: "Can a person be resurrected when he dies? I don't know that the Immortal Medicine has such a spiritual effect. Who are Wu Peng, Wu Ri, Wu Yang?"
Huwa asked back, "Who said that people cannot be resurrected when they die? I once killed Baisha with my own hands here, but later I saw him in the Heibaiqiu Cave. If I don't know the wonders of the immortal family, I will inevitably think that people are resurrected when they see their fingers."
Xuanyuan: "Why did Qi Yu lose his nature and turn into a ferocious beast? "
Huwa sighed: "Looks at the monks who practiced Jiuli witchcraft in ancient times, I am not the only one..."
What happened to the murder of Qi Yu? It is no longer possible to test now. But according to Hu Wa's inference, Qi Yu Ying had also practiced Jiuli witchcraft. He might be like Hu Wa, interested in Jiuli's strange and magical witchcraft and wanted to make some evidence. Or because he had fought with Jiuli and saw the strange and powerful means, he also wanted to master it.
Since he can fight against Chi You, even though he is not fighting Chi You alone, Qi Yu's cultivation level should be not low. According to Huwa's judgment, at least he has achieved the Nine Realm Immortals. The weird beast may have been the natal insect that Qi Yu raised with essence and blood based on Jiuli's secret witchcraft.
In ancient times, insects could also refer to all insects, animals, such as snakes called long insects, and tigers called large insects. The monsters were born by the method of raising Gu. After a unique mutation, the tiger kid did not recognize them at all. Erwei and Wei should have killed Qi Yu at that time, but Qi Yu already possessed the immortal soul of the immortal family. The Yang God escaped and took the house of the natal Gu insect.
The reason why Qi Yu did this is unknown now. Huwa can only infer that there are several possibilities.
Since Erhuhehe Wei wants to kill Qi Yu, he will definitely not be able to give him a chance to take over his body easily, just like Huwa killing Baisha in the black and white hills. In this case, Qi Yu can only re-enter the cycle of reincarnation and is a new person in the next life. And Qi Yu, who has the hatred of killing, is certainly unwilling to accept it.
When Qi Yu died, he did not let the natal insect free. Instead, he used the mental connection between the two to take over his possession and transform into the ferocious beast, and it was very likely that he used the body of the ferocious beast to escape.
As for Huangdi ordered people to use the immortal medicine to save Qi Yu, it is likely that the beast that was saved was this ferocious beast. It should have been severely injured at that time, and Wu Peng, Wu Ri, Wu Yang and others did not necessarily refer to wizards, but also to doctors. In ancient times, witch doctors were not distinguished, and they were regarded by ordinary people as mastering the mystery of life. For example, Hu Wa was also a miracle doctor in Bayuan, named Peng Keng, and could also be called Wu Peng.
So why did Qi Yu, who was rescued, gradually lose his nature and eventually become a ferocious beast? This is the disadvantage and danger of taking over the method of body-taking.
The so-called body-taking means occupying another person's body and replacing it with the person's identity. In this process, the memory and knowledge of the person being taken away must be refined or affected, and it cannot affect one's own mind and spirit, otherwise it will lead to cognitive obstacles, which is also a kind of backlash from the soul.
The process of taking over the body is somewhat similar to the so-called "time travel and rebirth" in later generations. In fact, for ordinary people, the so-called time travel and rebirth are mostly the moment of death, and they are lost in the great delusion of reincarnation but do not know it. Some monks call the bardo realm afterwards. There is a subtle difference between taking over the body and reincarnation.
For example, when Zhang San seized Li Si's house, he could not take it for granted that Zhang San occupied Li Si's body and also possessed Li Si's memory, and then continued to appear in the world as Li Si.
Why can't Li Si suddenly gain a memory that originally belonged to Zhang San and became part of his own knowledge, and then Li Si became another Li Si, and Zhang San no longer exists?
The backlash of the soul will cause chaos in self-cognition and cause unclear consciousness. Therefore, when taking over the body and integrating the memory of others, you must have the ability to break through the realm of life and death to ensure a clear mind. This is the immortal soul of the immortal family, also known as the immortal spirit of the Yang God.
Under normal circumstances, even the immortals are almost impossible to seize the house of a great monk. The higher the other party's cultivation, the more difficult it is. It is best if the other party's soul has been destroyed, leaving only a body with vitality still running. However, the witch's natal insects are often not very intelligent, but are stronger than the breeder himself.
Qi Yu was killed by Wei and Er Fu, and the Yang God who escaped was weak. He used his mental connection with his natal insect to escape from the Yang God to seize the house of the ferocious beast, which also left a huge hidden danger. At the beginning, he was still awake and occupied the body of the ferocious beast with his own consciousness, but when he merged and refined the consciousness of the ferocious beast, he had an accident and suffered a backlash.
After taking over the body, there are two ways to refine the original consciousness of this body. The first is like being able to break through the realm of life and death, without any thoughts, breaking it and purifying it, and completely forgetting it means that the original person no longer exists.
This method must be achieved with the nine realms of cultivation, but there is another disadvantage. After taking over the body, you often have to walk in the world as the other party. You must also master the other party's habits and memories, so that others cannot see the flaws.
So there is a second way, which is to integrate the memory and knowledge of the object of the body, so as to perfectly replace the person and completely inherit the identity of the person. In this case, a very powerful Yang Shen cultivation is required to avoid confusion in cognition and not suffer backlash.
Of course, Qi Yu would not use the second method to seize the house of the natal Guworm. He should have planned to directly refine and erase all the consciousnesses of the ferocious beasts, but encountered the soul of the ferocious beast that was stronger than him. The result was a tragic one, and the soul of the soul repelled. He gradually lost himself and became this ferocious beast, or the consciousness of the ferocious beasts swallowed him.
All of this is Huwa's inference, but based on the legend of Huwa's name, as well as the words Bo Yi said about Huwa, and Huwa's understanding of Jiuli witchcraft, this is the most likely situation.
Speaking of this, Huwa couldn't help but sigh: "Cultivating the insects of the natal life is only a magical power after all, not a way to break through the barriers. Although the method of taking over the body can temporarily protect the earthly immortals' lives, if they are not unique, they are not the right way.
Although Qi Yu seized the house of the natal worm, although it was powerful, it would almost certainly be backfired. He eventually became a sacred man. If he seized the house of ordinary people, although the backfire was weak, he had to practice again, and many opportunities were difficult to return; if he did it repeatedly, he would still be lost in the end."
Xuanyuan asked: "In this way, Bo Yi really helped Qi Yu to escape! So among the evil spirits in the southern Chinese wilderness, is there anyone who may have the same origin as the sage? For example, which powerful witch died unexpectedly but took the house of the natal Guworm."
Huwa: "Since there are jewels before, no one has done such things, but these are no longer important. No matter where those evil spirits come from, they will be killed by Bo Yi one by one."
...
Five days after the end of the Gu God Festival, Wu Gong Yangcao Yu finally led his tribes away, and Huwa followed Hua and the others back to Yangcao Village. Hou Gang took Jigu and still stayed in Danzhu, while Taiyi continued to pursue Bo Yi's traces.
Originally, four people came out, but when they returned to Yangcao Village, only Huwa was left. Hou Gang was a little worried and wanted Jigu to go back with him.
Huwa secretly dissuaded: "In your identity, it is not appropriate to send your guards back to the village of Gu Li tribe because of a slave. I am not in danger in the village, and I am just an incarnation of the immortal Yang God, so I can't lose anything."
Huwa also said to Hou Gang: "I don't need to say much about Bo Yi's divine power. And the Lord Chonghua next to Danzhu is not simple either!"
This sentence feels like a beginning and end, and it sounds a bit inexplicable. Why did Huwa feel this feeling? Hou Gang has lived in Bayuan for more than ten years, so he has never heard of Chonghua's name before. It has happened in the past ten years since Chonghua became famous and was valued by Emperor Yao. In recent days, through other members around Danzhu, Hou Gang has also found out a lot of deeds about Chonghua.
In fact, there is no need to inquire in private. Chonghua's deeds have long been promoted everywhere in the imperial capital Pingyang.
Later generations said that Chonghua had two eyes, which was actually a sign of his name. Chonghua himself was not a demon clan. This name contains the meaning of praising his wise eyes and far beyond ordinary people. At that time, some people said that his mother felt the starlight and had a son when she dreamed of giving birth to a child, so she was called Chonghua. What is even more interesting is that Chonghua's father was called Blind Sou.
It is called "blind" with eyes but no beads, but without eyes but no pupils. This is not a serious name at all, but more like a despicable name from others. It seems very disrespectful, meaning that it is a blind old man.
This father and son, others called his father a blind man, but his son's name was Chonghua. It sounded like the eyes that the father lacked, but grew in his son's eyes.
