Chapter 166: The Magic of the Mask
After talking about what happened, he talked about the mask again. Big Stone and Fat Witch agree that the mask has magical powers, and even attribute most of Big Stone's actions this time to the magic of the mask. Tang Ge scoffed at this.
Regarding the question of the magic of masks, Tang Ge has a more scientific explanation.
Tang Ge believes that the so-called magic of the mask is actually a manifestation of a person's hidden personality.
Human beings are very complex social creatures. In the process of growing up, a person has to learn a lot of things to adapt to the surrounding living environment. For example, how to greet people, how to speak, how to deal with people, etc. The most obvious example of this is the need to follow rules.
No matter what era, any social structure, it has its own unique "rules", which bind everyone to protect everyone in this social structure. If a person does something beyond the "rules", they will be resisted, attacked, or even killed by everyone in the "rules".
Therefore, as long as a person lives, he must carefully live in various "rules", under the constraints of all kinds of worries and fetters, it is likely that even the character he shows is false but "normal", and the more "social experience" he has, the more serious he is "assimilated", and the easier it is to hide himself unconsciously. A simple example is that children are honest, while adults love to lie, and even some old ghosts are full of nonsense, saying a lot of things that they don't even believe, but they take it for granted.
However, this kind of repressive behavior can also cause a lot of pressure on some people, and if they are not released, they will do some excesses. For example, sadism, criminals, domestic violence, etc., of course, it is not excluded that these people are like this, these are just the possibility of nature manifestation.
And the mask will give people a "hidden" mentality. When you put on the mask, others will not recognize you, as if you have hidden your whole being. Therefore, the mask is a thing that can easily induce a person's hidden personality to come out. And these hidden traits are also varied, from light to dark.
In short, when a person puts on a mask, he will unconsciously be a "real" self and release his emotions and personality that he has been hiding. You don't see, in many movies and television, a person's personality changes greatly after putting on a mask, or becomes a hero, or becomes a villain, these are not all nonsense, but there is a certain truth.
The proportion of the release of the implicit personality is related to a person's self-control. Those with high self-control release less, and those with more self-control release more. In primitive society, because there are few "rules", it can even be said that there are no scruples, even if you kill someone, you don't have to think about the consequences, so the self-control of people here is naturally low. It's also easier to show who you really are.
It is precisely with these elements of psychological suggestion, coupled with the superstitious psychology of primitive society, that they will foolishly think that masks have magical powers. As for Tang Ge himself, he believes that his self-control is incomparable to that of the primitive monkeys, and naturally he will not be affected by the mask.
However, Tang Ge's theory could not be supported by the fat witches, and he would not say these things stupidly, so he could only change the topic impatiently. So, the discussion of several people turned to the gold armor.
When he learned that the big stone had been calculated, and if it wasn't for the armor to protect his body, he might have died, Tang Ge's face was gloomy and scary, and he glared at the big stone viciously, looking like he would go back and settle accounts with you.
Big Stone smiled bitterly. He didn't want to mention it, but since he talked about the armor, he couldn't cover it, so he could only keep a bitter face and desperately think about how to fool this matter after he went back.
The armor of the big stone is very simple, it is just a few bronze plates that fit the figure, make holes, and pass them through with leather ropes to link the bronze plates together. The part with the leather cord can be folded, so that the armor will not affect the person's movement.
The armor looks simple, but it takes a lot of effort and meticulous work to make it. The shape of the various copper plates alone made the craftsmen of the sword house think hard. And although this set of armor is simple, the weight is not light, fortunately, at this time, the person's physique is good, and the strength is also great, and the weight of adding more than ten or twenty catties on the body is not affected at all.
The fat witch rubbed the mark on the armor that had been cut by the bronze sword, and praised it endlessly. After asking Dashi a few more questions about the armor, he returned the armor to Dashi with satisfaction.
"What do you think about Heyang?" The matter of the big stone came to an end, and the fat witch began to ask Tang Ge again.
Tang Ge asked with a puzzled expression, "What is the matter of Heyang?" ”
Fat Wu said: "War! Although Heyang suffered a loss this time, they were the first to attack us anyway, and we can use this excuse to attack them. ”
When Tang Ge heard this, he immediately shook his head like a rattle: "I don't have this idea, war will kill people!" I am a lover of peace! ”
The fat witch looked at Tang Ge suspiciously: "Don't talk nonsense with me!" You are not the one who can suffer. ”
Tang Ge said aggrievedly: "But I really didn't think about fighting!" Besides, our tribe is now in a period of rapid development, and it is simply changing day by day, that is, there is really a war to fight, and the further it drags on, the more beneficial it is for us, how can it be possible to attack others first. ”
Fat Wu nodded with satisfaction: "That's good." I'm afraid that you will be petty, and you will have to go to trouble the Heyang tribe. Now that the first snow has fallen, it is not a good time to fight. ”
Tang Ge said unhappily: "I think you are inflated, I think our tribe is up now, I want to find someone to shake your majesty!" ”
The fat witch laughed, without any excuse.
Tang Ge's family, the big stone is sitting on pins and needles guarding the dinner table, watching Tang Ge busy working on the stove, the mood is extremely worried, like a child who has done something wrong and is waiting to be educated by his parents, where is there still the majesty of killing God with a cold face when chasing and killing the Heyang tribe.
"It's time to eat!" Tang Ge greeted.
Big Stone hurriedly ran over to help and brought the food over and put it away.
Tang Ge poured a bowl of wine for the big stone and sat down, sandwiched a chopstick dish, and said while eating, "Tired, right?" The water is already boiling, so let's take a shower after eating, get a good night's sleep, and rest. The clothes on my body are thrown away, they are bloody and dirty, and I feel sick when I look at them. ”
Da Shi nodded again and again, and continued to wait for Tang Ge's final judgment.
As soon as he looked up, Tang Ge saw the nervous appearance of the big stone and felt quite funny. Other people's families are all Lao Tzu training their sons, but when it comes to him, it's all the other way around.
"Don't be so reckless in the future. Not to mention that those things were originally robbed for them, even if they really want to fight, I also have a way to destroy them, and you don't need to take the risk alone. ”
Dashi nodded again and again, with a sincere expression of humility and teaching.
Tang Ge sneered, and said angrily: "Okay! Let's eat. I'm going to give a lecture after eating. You just have a good rest at home, and when I come back in the evening, cook something delicious, call Lao Jiuqingshan and them, and you brothers have a good drink or two. ”
Dashi smiled, then relieved his heart, and began to pluck rice into his mouth.
Tang Ge smiled and said, "I said, did you really kill almost all of them?" They can't do anything about you? ”
At the mention of this, Dashi immediately came to his senses, wiped his mouth, and said excitedly: "I'll tell you......"
***********************
Three days later, the exam, which made the children in the doll cave dreadful, finally began.
The method of the exam is simple. Tang Ge made the question on the podium, and the children used charcoal to make Tang Ge's question on a piece of animal skin, and when they were all done, they wrote their "student number" and handed it to Tang Ge for correction. These questions range from easy to difficult, and it doesn't matter if you can't do them, just leave them empty.
Tang Ge did not engage in the evil "score system", allowing parents to torture their children with test scores. The reason why I have to do the mapping exam is nothing more than to see the results of teaching these days. In addition, after finding out the situation of the students, it is best to divide them into classes. Because it is unfair for both parties to put together those children who are strong in learning and have good academic performance and those who have poor learning ability and poor grades.
Through this exam, Tang Ge finally had a clear understanding of his educational achievements. What makes Tang Ge more pleased is that in his "class", there are really a few good seedlings of learning.
There are five people with the best academic performance, who make Tang Ge the most satisfied, of which Hongguo is one, Xiao Zhi, who beat Qingguo in front of Tang Ge last time, is also a little older, and it is estimated that the coming-of-age ceremony will be held after the winter.
These people have completely mastered addition and subtraction and pinyin, and the current course pace is no longer suitable for them. After thinking about it for a long time, Tang Ge decided to take all the children who had poor learning ability and slow learning ability on vacation, and concentrated on teaching these five children with good comprehension skills. After giving them multiplication and division, and even elementary algebra, the five of them will teach the slow children. In this way, Tang Ge could free up his hands to do other things.
Knowing that there was no need to go to class for the time being, the children in the doll cave were ecstatic, and Qingguo even turned several times to express their excitement. But when the children are happy, the parents are not. They felt that Tang Ge disliked their children for being stupid and was unwilling to teach them, so they blocked the doors one by one and counted Tang Ge well.
Tang Ge was annoyed by the first two big, let his mouth wear out, those parents still stubbornly thought that Tang Ge just looked down on their children, and Tang Ge had to teach them personally. Tang Ge had no choice but to ask for help from the fat witch, and with the help of the fat witch, the clansmen reluctantly accepted the concept that "Tang Ge taught the same as those children who studied well".
