"Lion dance? Of course I know that. Lion dance is a popular custom in southern cities. During festivals, company openings, temple fairs, and fairs, colorful lions will appear."

"There are many schools of lion dance in the South, and there are many rules. And practicing lion dance is not as easy as learning martial arts. It may be more difficult. Few children practice this now."

"There are really fewer and fewer things left by our ancestors."

After lamenting the current situation of the ancient industry being out of business, Liao Zhong changed his tone:

"But that's not what you're talking about, right? As an old profession, lion dance has also been passed down by different people. In the ancestral hall of the Lion Dance in Foshan, there are three colorful male lion cloaks enshrined. It is said that as long as you wear

That lion cloak can transform into a majestic and majestic alien lion."

It is said to be a lion, but the image of the lion dance in the south is actually more like Nian or Bai Ze, with a single horn between the eyebrows. According to legend, it is also said to ward off evil spirits and bind enchantments, and to scare all beasts.

As the person in charge of South China, Liao Zhong is well aware of the alien forces in South China.

Liao Zhongru's treasures: "It is said that this lion has extraordinary fighting power. It is difficult for ordinary people to compete with it and will be killed by it in a short time. However, Huacheng has been at peace for a long time, and no one has opposed the lion for a long time. This unique skill has been

No one has seen it for a long time."

"Southern lion dance has very high requirements on footwork, so among the basic skills is stepping on plum blossom piles. You don't doubt that this masked man comes from the lineage of lion awakening, right?"

Hu Xiuwu held the photo of the masked man in the document: "The custom of lion dance has been around for a long time. In ancient times, it was called Taiping Le. It can also be regarded as a witch dance that entertains gods, drives away ghosts, and communicates with gods to offer sacrifices."

"Essentially, it is no different from spells such as the Godhead Mask."

"Wait a minute," this is the first time Liao Zhong heard this statement, "You mean there is no so-called lion magic weapon. It is actually a kind of magic to invite gods."

Hu Xiuwu shook his head: "Gods are born from people. Since Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty, there has been a saying about colorful lions, and it has been circulated for a long time. Over time, it has accumulated a large number of wishes of all living beings, and then resembles the ferocious beast Nian, but its nature is different.

The completely opposite divine beast, the auspicious lion, was born from the vast sea of ​​human thoughts."

"Naturally, countless people have been eyeing this piece of fat for thousands of years, but the shape of a lion spirit is very different from that of a human. Borrowing the power of a lion spirit is much more troublesome than borrowing the power of a human god."

"But there are so many smart people in the world, and someone will always come up with a solution."

"Wearing a lion's skin, we look like a lion. Wearing in the streets, markets and temple fairs, we perform for the common people. The image of the mythical beast in the hearts of the people who watch the lion dance will be closer to the image of their performance, thereby changing the spirit of the lion.

image."

I can't completely become God,

Then change the image of God in the hearts of the world,

Let God be like me!

Therefore, they also use juggling and dancing to entertain the public, and the status of people in the lion dance lineage is higher than that of animal dancers.

One is for his own cultivation, and the other is really juggling to make a living. Naturally, the latter one is even more despised.

Of course, the fundamental reason is that the fighting power of the lion dance lineage is much higher than that of beast masters. Beast masters can only control ordinary beasts. Tigers and black bears were the limit of beast masters in ancient times.

Once a beast has opened its spiritual intelligence, it can be called a monster. The beast master's spells have no effect on monsters. There is no way to forcefully control them. They can only communicate with them. But in this case, what is the difference between a shaman and a beast?

The unique spells of each sect are all secrets that are not passed down to others. Others only know the general outline and the external manifestations.

The mysteries contained in the secret books of the exercises are the most important secrets of the sect, just like the specific contents of the Five Thunder Zhengfa in Longhu Mountain and the medicinal formula of alchemy, which are usually passed down by word of mouth among the sect leaders.

Hu Xiuwu also learned the secret behind the lion dance from Mr. Hui.

When Second Master Hui was fighting in the south with Hu Yunxuan, when he entered Huacheng, the people of Huacheng spontaneously organized a welcome ceremony. Second Master Hui also saw the true face of lion dance.

Not knowing that there was a fairy hidden in the procession, the lion dancers at that time subconsciously showed their true skills. Wearing lion skins, they were powerful and rough, and the colorful one-horned lions on their heads absorbed the joy in everyone's hearts.

The thought is like the statue in the Five Immortals Temple in Hui Erye’s hometown.

Only then did Mr. Hui understand the mystery of the lion dance business.

"So that's it," Lin Hui said excitedly as he didn't expect to find clues. "In that case, we just need to search through the information about the members of the Lion Group over the years to find the suspicious person among them."

"Maybe we can find the true identity of the masked man."

Liao Zhong said: "I will handle this matter, but I'm afraid it's not easy to find and it will take time."

With the clues, there was no need to rush around like a headless fly. Lin Hui immediately stood up and said to Liao Zhong:

"Mr. Liao, I applied to stay and help."

Liao Zhong thought for a moment: "That's fine. I happen to have a case in hand that needs to be concluded. I'm short of manpower. It would be great if you could help me."

Hu Xiuwu stretched out his hand in front of Liao Zhong and waved it: "Uncle Liao, I also apply for help!"

"You?" Liao Zhong glanced at Hu Xiuwu. He usually avoided seeing him, so why did he suddenly want to help?

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

"What do you want to do?"

Hu Xiuwu said: "I'm just curious about what method this person used to awaken the gods of ancient Shu."

Liao Zhong thought for a while. Hu Xiuwu and Chen Duo even participated in national wars during the Han Dynasty. They cannot be regarded as idle young men who have never seen blood.

But it was his dereliction of duty to let two young girls have blood on their hands. Chen Duo had been a temporary worker and became an executioner before, and he had been feeling guilty. Even if he was unhappy with Hu Xiuwu, he would not take advantage of someone who was still there.

A teenager who goes to school handles a case.

"No, you can go somewhere cool and stay for me."

Hu Xiuwu said: "Don't be like this, Uncle Liao, we may have to jointly handle the case with Southwest this time."

Hu Xiuwu emphasized the emphasis on the word "Southwest", and Liao Zhong woke up.

The Tang Sect is in the southwest, and he has been secretly exploring the importance of Pill Bite to the Tang Sect recently.

It turned out that even in the Tang Sect, Alchemy is a technique that can only be practiced by inner disciples. The current Tang Sect leader, Tang Miaoxing, is a person with strong internal and external concepts. The previous generation of Tang Sect leader Yang Liegang died, if he let

He knew that the alchemy had spread, and it was really hard to imagine what Tang Miaoxing would do.

The Tang Sect has deep-rooted influence in the southwest. If Chen Duo enters the southwest, he might be discovered, and the situation is unpredictable.

To capture the master who can defeat Feng Sixiang, temporary workers must be involved. The temporary workers in the southwest went to track down Xia Liuqing. They may come to Lin Hui at any time. He is also a curious ghost. It is not a big deal to watch the fun. Being caught by such

Getting tangled up in brown sugar is also a big problem.

Hu Xiuwu said: "You know me. I have been to the southwest, so I understand the situation in the southwest."

He wanted to temporarily replace Duo'er and become a temporary worker. There was really only Hu Xiuwu in South China who was the most suitable to temporarily replace Chen Duo.

He is the only person without a position here, and secondly, his cultivation is enough to support the work of a temporary worker.

Liao Zhong nodded, pretending to be helpless and said: "Okay, but remember that this matter is still dominated by colleagues from Southwest China, so don't overwhelm us."

"clear."

Seeing that Liao Zhong understood what he meant, Hu Xiuwu responded easily.

In order to prevent Lin Hui from discovering that Hu Xiuwu did not understand the layout of South China, Liao Zhong said first: "Come on, Lin Hui, I will take you to the database in South China."
