Chapter 430: Strange Technique (I)
Chapter 430: Strange Technique (I)
In the dead of night, the moon is dark and the wind is high, well, these are all my imaginations, since Li Yunxian renovated my Jiang family mansion, this place has changed a lot, now this is a Chinese-style mansion, English-style decoration, just when I didn't find out, these guys actually made my Jiang family's mansion look like this inexplicably, since I let go and said that my mansion can be better, they began to prepare, I believe this must be premeditated, it must be. Now outside my window, like the courtyard of a castle in a fairy tale, I must be crazy, must be.
My desk has also been replaced with a pure princess style, and the carved beams and paintings above my head are matched together, I can't look at it directly, but I don't know why I like it, from the time I first came here, those hundreds of lonely ghosts here, and then the tragic death of my aunt and party here, as well as the layers of secrets that can never be unearthed, have left a lot of shadows, but for no reason, I actually began to slowly like this place, It feels more like a home away from home. Although I lived in the old mansion with my grandmother when I was a child, I was also surrounded by servants, but I didn't have such a warm feeling, and I had the impression that the maid chefs in the old mansion were all submissive, probably because of my grandma's too strict management.
I remember when I was a child, the maids at home were very afraid of my grandmother, and when I was a child, I was greedy for playing and skipping school, so I wanted the driver who took me to and from school to help me lie. But he agreed with me at the time, and then went to report to my grandmother. That time I was beaten very embarrassed, although the driver did nothing wrong, but then I heard that my grandmother still fired him, because he promised in advance and regretted afterwards, he had no credit at all, and he was by no means a loyal and loyal person. The problem is that after this incident ended, I was taught a lesson by my grandmother again, and the reason was. Because of my willfulness. Leaving a worker without a job. Since then, no one in my family wants to be close to me, and those who treat me well are afraid that I will be beaten, and those who protect themselves are even more respectful. So the old mansion is not so much like a home, more like a high-end hotel. All of them are just providing services. Graciously. But there is no emotion to speak of.
Since then, I've been living alone and going back and forth between various rented houses, even though our Kui family is not as embarrassed as living in a basement. My apartment must be extremely decent, but after all, it is not my home, there is no sense of home, although the people around me always give me the label of a big family, but a large family, in fact, is not a family. I, Yun Ximing, Li Yunxian, Li Yunning, we are all children from so-called big families, and now we are getting together, just like cubs crowded together for warmth in winter, we get together, like family, nothing more than comforting each other. The so-called terminally ill, we are like this, we are all patients who have no family warmth and are tired by large families.
I opened the "Collection of Curiosities" in front of me, this half of the book has been what I have always been curious about, and the content in it involves all kinds of strange secret techniques. The world is so big, all kinds of spells are all kinds of things, I saw that the Japanese witch doctor catfish blood really drove a determined samurai, and I also saw an American witch who had a centipede trapped in one eye, and lived. There are many strange people in the world, there are many strange things, and there are countless of them, but all the secretarial spells are ever-changing, and the other part of my "Treasure Collection" describes some of the basic methods of the secret art under the world, these methods will produce different effects when used alone, and the rest of the advanced spells are actually the combination and transformation of these methods.
When I turned the first page, there was a preface on it, which roughly meant that the laws between heaven and earth all have their own laws of operation, and these laws are the basic methods, which can be called basic techniques. The basic spells are not just simple spells that are easy to learn, there are many of them, and the spells that everyone is familiar with, they are unfathomable, but they are part of the basic spells.
For example, transfiguration. The so-called transfiguration technique is a technique that changes people's appearance. Science can create many miracles, and today, the ancient theory of disguise is no longer an uncommon thing, it has become a specialized technology, also known as plastic makeup. Modern transfiguration, that is, plastic makeup, roughly requires the following steps: pouring out a negative mold, turning out a real plaster image of the human face on the negative model, correcting the plaster with plastic clay, and finally modeling, blow molding to make a mask, polishing, coloring and further processing. Eventually, it will reach a point where it can be faked. In daily life, transfiguration is not common, but in some novels or movies, there are often descriptions of transfiguration, often turning into another person's appearance, which is not completely real, a person wants to become another person's appearance, it is possible, but it is impossible in a short time, and it requires the full cooperation of the person being disguised. Therefore, most of the ancient theories of disguise were exaggerated, and under the level of technology at that time, it was impossible to make a simulation ********.
The disguise technique described in our collection of curiosities is not the same as what you remember, and it doesn't need a mask to cover it up, so the previous grandmother used the current technology, but the raw materials he used were more precious, and she used the real face of Feng's mother before her death. And the disguise technique that the collection of curiosities says, the language is very simple.
"Change the shape of the face with the text of yin and yang, change the size of the eye with charcoal, examine the section of the face, and fill the gap with gouache.
I finally understood why the people of the Kui clan would use all the spells that were unfathomable, and the reason was that the people of the Kui clan were more intelligent than ordinary peoples. It's hard to get a model of a person's face, but if you know what a person looks like, it's much easier to draw it. Therefore, the disguise technique recorded in the collection is actually a very advanced makeup technique in ancient times. This is very difficult to accomplish even now, but what is said in the collection of curiosities does make sense, and there is a certain degree of feasibility, which shows how smart the ancestors of our Kui clan were.
In addition, there are also the famous Feng Shui, which is also known as Kanyuxue, Xiangdi, Geography, Xiangzhai, Qingwu, Qingbao, Xingfa, etc. In the past, people used the number of Kanyu to select the yin and yang houses to avoid evil, and those famous masters also had a high status. However, in fact, Feng Shui is actually a series of propositions and theories that discuss and guide people to choose and deal with the location, orientation, layout, construction, and day selection of houses and cemeteries, and is a kind of technique for choosing a living environment.
You may wonder why Feng Shui has so many nicknames, but in fact, these nicknames also have their origins. It can be the way of heaven, and the public opinion is the authentic. Feng Shui has formed an indissoluble bond with the astronomical calendar and geography from the beginning, looking up at astronomy and looking down on geography, which are the two major characteristics of Feng Shui. Xiangdi refers to the observation of the geographical situation. Qingwu, named after the Qing Wuzi of the Han Dynasty, he is also known as Mr. Qingwu, and has a high attainment in the art of the earth. The green capsule is named after the classic "Green Capsule Sutra" written by Guo Pu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in nine volumes of the green capsule.
However, in the Han folk, it is mostly called "Feng Shui", and the person who operates this profession is called Mr. Feng Shui, because Mr. Feng Shui wants to use the theory of Yin and Yang to explain, and people think that they are people who deal with the Yin and Yang world, so they are also called Mr. Yin and Yang, so this has produced a misunderstanding, Mr. Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang Technique, Yin and Yang Family, in fact, are three different concepts, do not be confused.
The collection of curiosities describes several such elements, wind, water, and air. In addition, there are important contents such as dragons, sand, caves, water, sitting directions, etc.
In ancient China, cultured people generally knew Feng Shui, and many great officials were even proficient in Feng Shui. During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Feng Shui was disseminated; The Song Dynasty was a flourishing period, and the Ming and Qing dynasties were a flood period. In modern history, Feng Shui was very popular in old China. Therefore, Feng Shui is actually a traditional cultural view, a widely circulated folk custom, and a technique to seek good fortune and avoid evil. Of course, this is a concept in books, and the Feng Shui technique mentioned in the collection of curiosities is only about one element, which is qi.
The development and continuation of all things are determined by qi, and qi is also the basis of all living beings, and the so-called qi number is what it means.
I turned back page by page, and more and more spells, secret arts, and ancient arts emerged, which surprised me. I flipped a few pages back, wishing I could finish the entire collection in one night. Those things that I once thought were fantastical things have all been confirmed one by one, I am really grateful to this Jiang Yuqin senior, the children who like to take notes and organize, they are really invincible.
As I continued to look down, I realized that this collection had been changed many times, and it was supposed to be an improvement that my predecessors had added to it in the process of casting spells. If I wasn't still weak, I really wanted to practice all the spells on it immediately, but these spells couldn't be realized without the support of strong mana, so I could only give up and continue to look at some theoretical knowledge. In addition to the spells we are familiar with, there are many, not to mention that we have seen them, even if we have heard of them, we will think that they are unreasonable spells, they are really so real, those secret spells in the real sense.
