Chapter 2468 Witch Doctor
Among the cultures of the earth world, Taoism and Buddhism have many mantras. Chen Jian does not know the content of these mantras because Chen Jian did not go deep into the culture of Taoism and Buddhism.
However, like everyone else, Chen Jian could still say a few names of the spells casually.
For example, the mantra of meditation and clearing the mantra are all types of mantras. Whether in Taoism or Buddhism, there are such mantras.
What Chen Jian was thinking at this time was no longer a matter of spells.
Instead, we think from the perspective of the questions asked by the great elder of the priest's temple.
The question asked by the Great Elder of the Priest's Hall is very strange.
What I asked was whether Chen Jian needed to use spells when he was treating his illness?
Whether it is Taoism or Buddhism, its mantras are not used to cure diseases.
In ancient times, there were also Taoist priests or monks who were proficient in medicine.
However, these Taoist priests or monks who are proficient in medicine will not use spells at all when treating people.
What is the relationship between mantra and curing diseases?
Why did the great elder of the Priest's Hall ask this?
Chen Jian knew very well that the question of the elder of the Priest Hall would never be a casual question, but was very targeted.
Because the word mantra is actually like the past and present, it is a very ancient and vocabulary in Eastern culture!
The only difference between the two words is that the word "returning to the past and the present" has almost been used very much in modern times, while the word "mantra" has been used to this day with the development of the times.
If the great elder of the Priest Hall did not mention the word "reversal" to Chen Jian, but directly mentioned the word "man" to Chen Jian, Chen Jian would probably ignore that the word "man" is an ancient, vocabulary in Eastern culture.
After Chen Jian thought of this, a light flashed through his mind and opened his eyes.
The light that passed through Chen Jian’s mind was the commonality of the two words, that is, these two words were both words in ancient Eastern culture.
There is no doubt that this common point is still consistent with Chen Jian’s previous speculation.
There must be some records in the priest's temple, about the truth.
Now, the ancient word for mantra, the angle of the question asked by the great elder of the Priest Hall, is that healing diseases is related to mantras?
This is not difficult to think about.
Because the situation asked by the Great Elder of the Priest Hall had happened before.
In other words, using mantras to treat diseases, or combining treatment with mantras, is a real existence.
But, it's very old!
Even, only recorded but no archaeological evidence was found.
However, there are many such records.
This type of person recorded is called a witch doctor.
If you want to explain the witch doctor, you have to start with the witch.
Witch was an ancient profession specializing in prayer and divination activities.
In ancient times, there was a profession specializing in prayer, sacrifice, and divination activities, called the witch.
In ancient times, the witch man was considered an envoy of heaven and was respected by royal nobles and ordinary people.
A wizard is a wizard, while a witch doctor is a type of wizard who is more specialized in medicine.
In other words, a witch doctor is a person with two identities.
It can not only communicate with ghosts and gods, but also medicine.
It is also for this reason that witch doctors often cooperate with spells when treating diseases.
Chen Jian’s understanding of witch doctors is limited to this, and no matter how much he has, he doesn’t know.
The reason why Chen Jian was able to know this is because witch doctors were always doctors in ancient times. Chen Jian himself was a doctor and paid great attention to the development of traditional Chinese medicine.
The development of traditional Chinese medicine that Chen Jian is concerned about is not only in the future, but also in the past. In other words, Chen Jian is concerned about the entire development history of China-Italy.
There is no definite statement about the origin of traditional Chinese medicine so far. Looking for the source is probably the myth of Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs.
However, the existence of witch doctors is also very likely to be the source of traditional Chinese medicine.
Chen Jian would pay attention to the information about the witch doctor, and this is precisely because of this.
As for whether the witch doctor is the origin of traditional Chinese medicine, there is no evidence, and it is just Chen Jian’s own conjecture. There is not much information about witch doctors, most of which are found in historical documents and are basically unverifiable.
But from a large number of records, witch doctors are indeed mysterious and mysterious. They are a combination of medicine and mantras to cure diseases.
Regarding the spells of witch doctors, Chen Jian also had his own ideas from historical documents, believing that ancient people were superstitious about ghosts and gods, and witch doctors would supplement spells while curing diseases, which would play two roles.
First, it increases the mystery of the witch doctor, making people respect him extremely.
Another aspect of the function is to give patients psychological comfort.
To put it bluntly, it makes the patient think that the witch doctor has communicated with ghosts and gods and will not take the patient away, and the patient can survive.
There is no doubt that this is a psychological way.
There is no harm in using psychology to relieve the condition or cure the disease, and regular doctors also use this method.
What's more, the age of witch doctors existed in ancient times!
Since we have found a place related to curing diseases and spells, it was only the witch doctors in ancient times who did this. Then the question asked by the Great Elder of the Priest Hall was very strange, and it was not surprising.
Because this strangeness is viewed from Chen Jian's perspective, and from the perspective of the old man who asked the question, this question should not be surprising.
Otherwise, the great elder of the Priest Hall would not have been able to start from this perspective for no reason and ask Chen Jian this question.
Chen Jian showed a smile on his face, a relaxed and freehand smile.
Once you understand this, it is not difficult to think of more. If the elder of the Priest Hall asked this question, he must have known the existence of the witch doctor.
The medical skills Chen Jian showed would not use spells at all, which caused the doubts of the great elder of the Priest Hall. He knew the way of witch doctors curing diseases, but Chen Jian's medical skills were different from those of the witch doctors, which led to the problem of the great elder of the Priest Hall.
Through the great elder of the Priest Hall twice speaking out the extremely ancient Eastern culture vocabulary, plus the knowledge of specific witch doctors at this level, the conclusion naturally emerged.
The records in the Priests’ Hall should be records from ancient times!
The elder of the Priest Hall learned some information from ancient times through these records. Compared with the medical skills displayed by Chen Jian, it was completely different, so he would ask such questions.
In ancient times, thousands of years ago!
It is roughly consistent in time.
In other words, the records in the sacrificial shop were roughly consistent with the Aryans who left the earth and came to this world at that time.
Where are the records in the priest's temple? In what way are they recorded?
This is the answer Chen Jian needs to find.
