Chapter Two Thousand One Thousand and Four Witchcraft Mediums
Looking at the people around him, everyone staring at him, Zhao Yongqi said after a slight sigh: "I tell you this, not to make you afraid, nor to make you believe, the only purpose is to think, in case you see something strange later, don't touch it easily, so as not to really encounter danger." ”
"Uh-huh, Oba the frog, speak quickly, everyone listens to you. Li Zhien nodded his little head desperately, with bright little stars in his beautiful eyes, and asked excitedly.
Reaching out and rubbing the natural head of the mantis, Zhao Yongqi said with a smile: "To understand witchcraft, you must first start with Taoism. As we all know, in the thousands of years of Chinese history, Buddhism and Taoism are the two major religions with the greatest promotion and influence.
Strictly speaking, Buddhism belongs to a foreign culture, while Taoism is the original religion of China. It is also strange to say that these two major religions have risen and fallen several times in the history of thousands of years, but basically they have never appeared, and they are mortal enemies of each other. Buddhism emphasizes the universality of sentient beings and teaches people to be good. Taoism, on the other hand, pays attention to slaying demons and eliminating demons, and cultivating one's body and mind.
In the common people, the influence of the two religions is about the same. But in the superstructure, especially in the royal family, Taoism has always occupied a relatively high position. This is because, on the one hand, Taoism pays attention to self-cultivation, that is, it can live a long life, which is in line with the emperor's preferences. On the other hand, Taoism believes that if you cultivate to a high depth, you can live forever, and even practice the elixir, which makes the emperor who is afraid of death even more like.
After saying this, it is time to talk about Taoism's demon slaying and demon eradication. Everyone has seen that the Taoist priest on TV will draw a rune paper, and then take a sword made of copper coins, and wave it around to fight demons and monsters. In fact, the cinnabar used on this paper, and the copper coin sword is also made of coins that look older and have been used for many years. Why? Because, in the core idea of Taoism, there is a point that everything in heaven and earth has yin and yang!
For example, men are yang, describing men as masculine and so on. And women are yin, like where there are more women and fewer men, it will be said that yin is prosperous and yang is declining, and so on. Another example is the sun overhead, and the moon at night is overcast. Another example is the most famous Taiji diagram, which is half yang and half yin. In short, Taoism believes that everything in the world belongs to yin and yang, either yang or yin. However, when everyone is alive, they carry yang energy on their bodies, which does not distinguish between men and women, but the strength of yang energy is different. Even if he is dead, it is called the end of his life.
In ancient times, when killing criminals, they were usually beheaded at noon, in order to prevent the executioner from being attacked by the yin qi of the dead after the prisoner was killed. And half of the prisoners who chose to be beheaded at three o'clock in the afternoon were extremely vicious Jiangyang thieves, or felons, and they were beheaded at this time, because it was the time of the day when the yang energy was the strongest, and the yin energy was directly dispersed, and even the ghosts had to do it. For another example, there is a gate in the palace called the Noon Gate, which is also the place where the yang energy is the strongest, and if this place is decapitated, the yin qi will also collapse and cannot form a ghost body.
Since the living are yang, then according to the Taoist understanding, the ghost must be yin. Therefore, to fight this evil spirit, it is necessary to use something with strong yang energy. Cinnabar is a very strong yang thing, in the same way, copper coins that have been used for many years, because they have experienced the contact of many people, so with a very strong yang energy, it has naturally become a magic weapon to restrain ghosts.
I have been talking about Taoism for so long, in fact, I want to say that Taoism is based on yang, whether it is to cultivate one's body and mind, or to use objects, spells, etc., it is all through the power of the sun. And witchcraft is just the opposite, witchcraft is based on yin, whether it is the witchcraft itself or various items, it all relies on the power of yin!"
"Cannibals, so so, witchcraft is also a branch of Taoism?" Feifei's beautiful eyes widened and his face was full of curiosity.
Shaking his head slightly, Zhao Yongqi said with a smile: "Witchcraft itself thinks that it is indeed a branch of Taoism, and thinks that traditional Taoism only borrows the power of the sun, while they are cultivators who use the power of Taiyin. It's just that Taoism will never admit it. In fact, many people think witchcraft is evil, and this is not necessarily true. For example, in some places, there are still so-called goddesses, who can invite dead people to come up, let relatives meet, and so on. These people actually use witchcraft, but most of them are pretending to be gods and tricks to cheat money.
If you take it seriously, witchcraft is more similar to the head-lowering technique of the South Seas. And it is very different from the legendary Gu technique in Miao Jiang. In terms of Gu art, he didn't need anything, as long as he raised Gu by himself and released it into the target's body. For example, what **, Drill Heart Gu, etc., are all the same.
But witchcraft is different, and when witchcraft is used, you must need a very important prop, and that is the medium!"
Speaking of this, Zhao Yongqi fell his gaze on Cheng He's body, and said with a smile: "Do you remember the last time the Liaoning gave you a curse? That tattered doll is actually a prop, and the medium that contains your hair and the like." ”
Cheng He didn't seem to hear Zhao Yongqi's ridicule, he was listening to it with relish at the moment, and nodded subconsciously, his face full of agreement.
It didn't seem that he wanted to continue to tease Cheng He, Zhao Yongqi retracted his smile and said: "There are many kinds of mediums in witchcraft. From small to large, the power is divided into: dye, skin, body, hair and skin, and blood. Dye refers to something that the target has used, such as a quilt that we have covered once in a hotel. Casual objects are things that the target often holds with us, such as our mobile phones. Objects are things that the target has used for many years and often wears with them. Hair and skin are naturally hair, skin, and the like. Finally, there is blood. There are many types of blood, and if it is a separate target, then it is better to have the blood of the target itself. And if you want to unleash a wide range of witchcraft, you need to use Yin Blood. The so-called yin blood is...... Ahem. ”
Zhao Yongqi glanced at the girls, looked at them with puzzled looks, licked his lips, and then said: "Yin blood is the blood that comes out of the first time when a girl grows up." ”
"Brother Qi~~ is a hooligan again. The little bun with a pretty face crimson couldn't help but slap Zhao Yongqi lightly, and most of the other girls present also had similar expressions.
"Ahem, it's not like I'm a hooligan, that's what happened. Zhao Yongqi smiled dryly, and hurriedly said: "And the most powerful of them is the so-called girl born when the moon and the sun are cloudy, and the sunflower has her first period." In witchcraft, this yin blood, like a nuclear bomb now, is hugely powerful. ”
