1250 BC, the twenty-ninth year of Shang King Wu Ding.
It was an era when witches served the king and used human animals to communicate with gods. It was also the eve of the end of the line of ancient witches. In the swamp beside the Qiantang River, seven refugees were beheaded and thrown into the muddy water because a divination by a shaman said "there is evil in this area."
Shen Wuyou had a bronze mirror in his hand. When others look in the mirror and see their faces, he looks in the mirror and sees "Qi" - the mountains, rivers, vegetation and trees have Qi, and the human body has veins and lines that are constantly flowing. The mirror is a relic of an ancient shaman. It changes from cold to warm as he practices, and it also reflects his own energy for him, allowing him to see clearly what the "order" is when he chants the mantra and kneads the formula.
There is a dark cave altar in the mountain. Thousands of years ago, the shaman guarding the altar used the three rings as the wall, the inner ring as the lock, and the broken armor as the key to suppress a sinister spirit at the bottom of the altar. Thousands of years later, the formations are still there, but the person chanting the curse is long gone. The power to suppress evil is gradually lost, and the things under the altar are becoming more sober day by day.
Shen Wuyou and Ah Heng had no teachers or classics. All they had was a mirror, a few fragments of armor, fragments of patterns on the wall, and the curse that Ah Heng's mother had remembered in pieces. After exploring the cave seven times, rubbing patterns, taking armor, and pressing evil spirits; carving three-ring formations all over the body, and adding rune patterns into the skin and flesh; from being able to only distinguish the density of the earth's Qi to being able to distinguish the purity of the earth's veins. Step by step, they picked up the remains of ancient witches scattered in the mountains piece by piece, and used them bit by bit - just to borrow the key of the divination armor to touch the inner circle lock that had been dormant for thousands of years.
Qi, formations, patterns, and spells are all a set of things.
It's just that this world has long forgotten it. Sexual path.
