Chapter 129: The History of the Li Family in Ji Province

In less than a minute, Li Mengnan and Wu Ansu used shovels to make two washbasin-sized holes in the wall.
This is also because of the lack of spiritual strength of Emperor Lingyun, if it is replaced by Li Mengnan to construct this wall, the hardness is completely comparable to concrete, then it is not just two broken shovels that can be dug up.
However, I have to say that although the hardness of this illusory wall is really good, the thickness is remarkable, and I still can't see the light after digging inward for almost half a meter.
"Alright, stop digging, bury this inside."
Li Mengnan stopped Wu Ansu, who was digging a hole and sweating, and threw a heavy oiled paper bag tied up with flowers.
"It's ...... Explosives packs? ”
Although Wu Ansu had never seen the actual object of this ancient blasting device, thanks to the overwhelming anti-Japanese TV series on Huaxia TV, she still recognized the original face of the package of things handed to her by Li Mengnan at a glance.
Needless to say, this must also be the product of illusion.
However, Li Mengnan's explosives bag was obviously more rudimentary than the anti-Japanese artifact of the year, and there was not even a fuse, only a long paper twist dragged outside, like a square cannon battle.
"You can't still have black powder, will you?"
"Yes!"
Wu Ansu just asked casually, but he didn't expect Li Mengnan to admit it with a shy face.
Wu Ansu almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, this is a shovel and an explosives bag, and the equipment is so poor that it is not even as good as the militia guerrillas of seventy years ago, just this kind of Cheng Dù is embarrassed to say what a powerful trickster he is?
"There are actually two types of illusions: illusions and illusions."
Li Mengnan conjured up an identical explosive bag out of thin air, stuffed it into the hole dug out of the wall, and shoveled the soil into it with a shovel, explaining to Wu Ansu by the way: "The human brain is actually very strong, just like when we watch a 3D movie, even if the picture and sound are real, our subconscious, the so-called sixth sense, will judge that this is something that does not exist at all, so as to protect the brain from receiving misinformation from the outside world, and guide zhì to be harmed accordingly."
Illusions like this, which only mislead the five senses, are illusions.
Just like the night you invited me to eat stew, the eye-gouging I performed for you, and the flame of the lighter, belong to illusion and illusion.
The biggest feature of illusion illusion is that you can do whatever you want, you can conjure up almost anything imaginable in your mind, and the consumption of mental power is relatively low.
But the biggest drawback of illusion, as its name suggests, is that it is only an illusion in its own right, and even if you can see it, you can't touch it, and it's an unreal illusion. ”
It was the first time that Wu Ansu knew that there was so much attention to the original illusion, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and asked while burying the explosive pack: "So, this wall is not an illusion illusion?" ”
"That's right, if it's an illusion, it won't have any blocking effect at all, and anyone can go through it directly." Li Mengnan patted the soil and pulled the lead all the way to the service desk not far away, and continued: "Illusion illusion is a more complex illusion, in addition to deceiving the five senses like illusion, it also deceives the subconscious of the sixth sense of human beings.
However, the sixth sense of human beings is not as easily deceived by appearance as the first five senses, because the sixth sense is a kind of super-three-dimensional sense similar to X-ray, which can directly penetrate the internal structure of an object, and even has a certain time dimension attribute.
Therefore, if you want to deceive the sixth sense, you need to have enough analysis and understanding of the composition of the illusionary creation, when you can successfully deceive the sixth sense of others, then your illusion is real in the other person's cognition, this is illusion. ”
"Illusion was once called Illusion Killing—as the name suggests, it's an illusion that can actually be used to kill people."
However, illusion illusion also has a huge drawback, the more complex the thing, the longer it will take to transform, it doesn't matter if it is used to sneak attack the Yin people, but if it is a face-to-face duel, even the most powerful illusionist can only conjure up some of the simplest things. ”
Speaking of this, Li Mengnan suddenly sighed inexplicably.
He still remembers that the old man of the family mentioned the glory of the family more than once, the Li family was a well-known trick family in Hebei Province, when the family was at its most prosperous, there were more than 600 direct members, that is, even a five-year-old child could play a few decent tricks, and there were as many as 20 tricksters with illusion talents.
At that time, there was no such thing as a harmonious society, even in the peaceful season, there were still many bandits and grass cowards, and at that time, all the big families with some wealth were not allowed to raise more than a dozen or twenty thugs, and they were eager to show off their whole body tendons and flesh to prove that they were not easy to provoke.
But the Li family in Ji Province never needed these martial artists to visit the family nursing home, because the skills of any trickster who has come out of the division are not inferior to ordinary martial arts masters, especially in the Li family's inner house with many organs, the strength of each trickster will be magnified several times or even dozens of times.
Although the Li family has always been low-key and has a poor reputation in the rivers and lakes, most of the senior people in the rivers and lakes in Hebei Province know that the Li family is not easy to offend.
The trickster is different from the people in the martial arts, you offend a martial arts master, whether the other party is openly challenged, or secretly assassinated, at least there are traces to follow, and if the trickster wants to kill, just a variety of weird and unpredictable tricks can toss you ********, if you meet a high-level trickster who has mastered the secret art of illusion, it will be even more tragic, people directly erase you from the consciousness level, don't care about your **, even if you are decades of golden bell hood iron cloth shirt thirteen Taibao horizontal practice kung fu is in vain.
If it weren't for the fact that illusion pays more attention to personal talent than martial arts, and does not pass on foreign surnames, the number of tricksters who master illusion is very small, and the Li family in Ji Province will definitely become the public enemy of martial arts at that time, and maybe they will be detained as a big hat such as evil demons and foreign ways to attack them.
In other words, this is the so-called unspoken rule of the rivers and lakes, although strong strength can be respected and respected by others, but too strong strength will be feared and hated.
If you are serious, you will lose.
However, just like the decline of martial arts with the advent of firearms, in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, as foreign powers bombarded China with giant ships and cannons, traditional tricks were also impacted by more novel and practical technological products, such as movies, photography, gramophones, etc., which gradually lost their novelty in the hearts of the people who reopened their eyes to the world, and gradually began to be ignored.
At this point, the pactmaker is even inferior to those martial artists, although martial arts are in decline, but those martial artists can still rely on their extraordinary skills to join the army or make a living as bodyguards for the rich, and the pactmaker is not literate and martial arts, and it is somewhat superstitious to find his own special profession.
After all, there is no such thing as a psychiatrist.
Since then, the huge Li family has begun to fall into ruin, and a large number of clansmen have been forced to change careers to work in factories around Jinmen in order to make a living.
Later, when the Japanese invaded China, the withered Li family fled north to Mongolia Province, and lived a nomadic life of living in pursuit of water and grass like the local herdsmen, and experienced decades of ups and downs, until only the last person in his grandfather's generation remained.
If it weren't for the adoption of Li Mengnan, I am afraid that the lineage of ancient opera masters would be the same as many traditional skills, and the inheritance would be cut off.
In a way, the trafficker who abducted Li Mengnan was also a good thing, saving an intangible cultural heritage that was on the verge of being lost.
