"You know why they made the hat yellow, right?" Tong Guohu smiled weirdly.

"Are you saying that the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have to live with a talisman on their shoulders all day long?" Zhang Yicheng was a little crying and laughing, to say that in order to draw the talisman and make the hat the same yellow as the talisman paper, this is understandable, according to the principle of Taoism, bright yellow is the most positive yang color, the talisman is painted on the bright yellow material, which is conducive to the play of mana, of course, in some special moments, the talisman can also be painted on the non-bright yellow material, such as the wall, clothes and even stone, but the effect of painting on the yellow material is not good, but as a living person, put the talisman on the top of the head all day long, That's too spoofing, isn't it?

"Not everyone is like this, only officials or nobles of some rank wear this kind of hat, the kind of Arafat hat you are talking about, it is just that ordinary people imitate high-ranking officials......"

"Why are they wearing such things? Could it be that there are some evil things on them? Zhang Yicheng seemed a little puzzled.

"So to speak!" Tong Guohu said, "Do you know what the principle of Maoshu is? Zhang Yicheng shook his head.

"Maoshu, originally a kind of secret art with stone as the carrier......" said, Tong Guohu rummaged through the suitcase again, and then took out a small wooden box, opened the wooden box, only to see that there was a seal-like thing inside, and the material should be jade, "This thing, called 'Mao Fang', before the Han Dynasty, there was no papermaking, and the price of silk was very expensive, so this kind of secret art generally uses stone as the carrier, just like this!" After that, Tong Guohu handed the "Mao Fang" in his hand to Zhang Yicheng, "Eastern Han Dynasty." With the invention of papermaking, some masters transplanted this thing from stone to paper, which is the 'Mao' symbol in the hat! ”

As far back as the Xia and Shang periods, people's understanding of the five elements of yin and yang was very vague, and all kinds of witchcraft were prevalent during that period. Most of them just know how to use some inherent natural laws in the five elements of yin and yang, but they don't know the powerful relationship between them and the serious consequences of indiscriminate application. At that time, people believed that all kinds of illnesses and misfortunes encountered in people's production and life were caused by evil spirits, and if they wanted to avoid unfortunate things such as birth, old age, sickness, death, falling on their heads, stepping on feces, and losing their wallets. As long as you come up with a way, so that the evil spirit does not dare to possess you, driven by this misunderstanding, some folk warlocks have explored such a two-hundred-and-five method: that is, to find a not very evil spirit to possess in advance, and the rest of the evil spirits will not lean on the body again. The principle of the vaccine is to let the body's own immune system produce antibodies to the virus, while people do not have a so-called immune system for resentment, and the reason why it can be successful is entirely because of the characteristics of the thing itself - resentment is somewhat similar to animals, and they have a strong sense of "territory", as long as there is already a grudge in a person or in an object. Then there will be no second attached.

"I'm dripping mother......" After listening to Tong Guohu's explanation, Zhang Yicheng almost squirted, thinking that these ancient people are really tough. This kind of thing of resentment possession can't be avoided in modern times, and this group of masters actually took the initiative to recruit them.

"You also know that only the most resentful ones like to harm people, and the less resentful ones are not interested in the living. That's why you need this! Tong Guohu shook the square twice.

"You mean, this thing can possess a person's body without resentment?" Zhang Yicheng took it and looked at it. The mess engraved on it is completely unrecognizable.

"That's understandable!" Tong Guohu said, "The process of performing the technique. Basically, it is artificially created between some people and grievances through the magic circle first, and this is used last, because it is impossible for a grievance with the person concerned to be attached to him for a long time, so this thing is like riding a donkey with a stick and a radish so that the donkey will keep chasing the turnip! The purpose is to keep those grievances in the body for a long time! If you don't want it anymore, just throw this away, and the grievances will go away! ”

"Hehe, it's quite convenient...... Zhang Yicheng looked at the Mao Fang in his hand, it seemed to be quite new, "Brother Tong, where did you get this thing?" Ancient? ”

"No, I did it myself!" Tong Guohu smiled, "Do you remember the formation of Fukang Garden?" This square is the same as that array! ”

According to Tong Guohu, Mao Shu is not like Cangzhou that Yang Qingsheng said, is a special "raising" evil arts, on the contrary, from the original function of the Mao array, the original intention of the inventor seems to be indeed to benefit the common people, from the principle analysis, the original Mao Shu is indeed not too harmful, the reason why it has been passed on to the later generations to be falsely rumored to be the evil spell of "raising evil", it is entirely because some bastard descendants with ulterior motives arbitrarily add oil and vinegar to it, and transfer good inventions to other uses, as the so-called "not afraid of no good things, I'm afraid that there are no good people", no matter how good the inventor's wish is, it can't stand the bottomless nonsense of those unfilial descendants, just like Nobel risked his life to invent explosives, people's original intention may be just for the convenience of mining, but it was taken away by later generations to make bombs and used in wars.

In later generations, with the development of medicine and Taoism, it was finally proved that life was unlucky to be old, sick and dead, and in fact, it had nothing to do with any resentment and evil spirits.

"The reason why Hong Xiuquan is so poor and extravagant that he wants to unload the grind and kill the donkey, but his subordinates are still loyal to him and dare not disobey him in the slightest, is because Mao Shu has been turned into a means to threaten his subordinates, including Du Wenxiu, every senior general will be used by Hong Xiuquan! The reason why Hong Xiuquan dared to transfer his last family wealth to Du Wenxiu, who was not related to each other and had no reason, before he died, was also because of this reason! Tong Guohu said indignantly, "When I was first adopted, even my grandfather didn't know what was on me, and he tried all kinds of methods, but the things on my body came and went. It has never been eradicated. It wasn't until I found a suicide note written by my father when he was 18 years old in the ceiling of my family's original house, saying that my family was actually a direct descendant of Du Wenxiu, and everything had an answer. ”

"Brother Tong, you seem to have said just now. Do you suspect that your loved ones have been killed by your resentment? Hearing this, Zhang Yicheng seemed a little puzzled, "If Hong Xiuquan inserts such a powerful thing on the body of every general, then the Qing Dynasty will still be a fart." Isn't it over waiting for them to die themselves? ”

"Don't forget their hats!" Tong Guohu said, "The Mao array I used in the Fukang Garden was the most primitive Mao array, and after comparison, I found that the working principle of the Mao array. is very different from Hong Xiuquan's Mao technique, the role of the ancient Mao array is to absorb grievances, throw away the Mao square, and the grievances will leave. But Hong Xiuquan's Mao technique is just the opposite, the role of Mao Fu is to reduce resentment rather than attract resentment; And resentment not only does not go on its own, but it is inherited, if you don't wear that hat from time to time. The resentment is only going to get stronger, and my family hasn't worn a hat with a charm in generations, and the resentment of that thing continues unabated. It's already a curse, that's why it's harmful! If it wasn't for my grandfather teaching me Taoism, I'm afraid I wouldn't be alive now! Besides, even if I die, this thing might still be passed on, so I'll have to get rid of it in my generation! ”

"You're afraid that thing will continue to be inherited?" Zhang Yicheng once again secretly looked at Tong Guohu's face, wanting to laugh but embarrassed to laugh. My heart says that just because of your façade, you are still worried about the next generation? Which woman can really take a fancy to you, it has to be a god horse taste?

"Of course!" Tong Guohu's eyes suddenly had a hint of resentment. There seems to be something unspeakable, "This thing makes me afraid to express my feelings to my loved ones." Because I'm worried that if something happens to me, I'll let her down, and I'm even more worried that it will affect my children and grandchildren! ”

"Then you have nothing to do and wear that hat, isn't it over......" Zhang Yicheng pointed to the big cap of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and said in his heart that this big brother is really thinking far enough, with your appearance, if you don't go abroad for plastic surgery, even if you dare to express your feelings, the success rate will probably not be higher than 1%......

"Didn't you think I had tried?" Tong Guohu sighed, "If you wore that hat a hundred years ago, it might be useful, but if you want to solve the things on your body now, you have to use another hat......"

"Another one?" Zhang Yicheng was stunned, "What hat?" ”

"Hong Xiuquan's own hat!" Tong Guohu snorted coldly, and Zhang Yicheng almost swallowed his Adam's apple into his stomach......

In March of the third year of Xianfeng (1853), the Taiping army conquered Jiangning and set the capital here, the news spread, the whole world was in an uproar, especially in the people, the combat effectiveness of the Taiping army was spread more and more evil, and there was a great momentum of overturning the rule of the Qing court and replacing it. In May of that year, the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain was surrounded by a battalion of the Taiping Legion, and Hu Chenghui, who was in charge at the time, was asked to leave by the leading officer in a sedan chair, and there was no news for more than three months.

Just when the disciples and sectarians were restless and asked around about the whereabouts of the Zhangjiao like ants on a hot pot, Hu Zhenren was suddenly sent back by the Taiping military sedan chair, but it was not the eight-carrying sedan chair that he took when he left. Although the sedan chair has changed, Hu Zhangjiao himself has not changed, his body is safe and sound, not to mention, he is even fatter than when he left, the whole person is full of red light and seems to have no grievances, seeing that Zhangjiao is back, everyone's hearts are also put down, as for how Zhangjiao has spent these days, where he went, what he did, and who he saw, he didn't say it himself, and others naturally didn't dare to ask.

"Later, before the Hu Zhangjiao feathered, he finally couldn't help but tell his most trusted head disciple about his whereabouts in the past few months, that is, my grandfather Yuan Zhangjiao, and this secret has been held in his old man's heart until he met me!" Tong Guohu said with a mysterious face, "In the days when Hu Zhangjiao disappeared, he was invited by Hong Xiuquan to design the crown!" ”

According to Tong Guohu's words, at that time, the world was in turmoil, and the Taiping Heavenly Army was attacking the city and pulling out the fortress like a bamboo, as a common people, no one could say who the future world would be, including Hu Chenghui and Hu Zhenren of Longhu Mountain, and they were not willing to sacrifice Yangshou to Bu This boring national fortune. Facing the Taiping army who came to the door, Hu Zhenren didn't want to pay attention to it, as soon as he came to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he went against the grain, causing chaos and war in the world, and helping them was nothing more than acting for the tiger; Second, if it really has anything to do with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, once the Qing Dynasty turns over in the future, it may be a disaster for Longhu Mountain, but then again, the Taoist temple is surrounded by the Taiping army, and if you don't do what they say, the scene will be a disaster. As the so-called heroes don't suffer immediate losses, although Hu Chenghui is a real person who is not happy in his heart, he can only obediently obey in order to protect the mountain gate.

"Looking for an old way to design a crown?" Zhang Yicheng smiled, "Hong Xiuquan, this is ...... What's the taste of Godma, ......? ”

"That's no ordinary crown!" Tong Guohu sighed, "Do you know how Hong Xiuquan usually scares his subordinates?" At every turn, he asked the Heavenly Father to come up and convey instructions, and even later, when the harem concubines were jealous and jealous, he couldn't handle it himself, and he had no choice but to ask the Heavenly Father to come up and persuade him! ”

"Won't I? Does Heavenly Father care about this? Zhang Yicheng was also happy, it seems that this heavenly father has to take care of the duties of the aunt of the neighborhood committee in addition to guiding the country, not only to care about national affairs, but also to be responsible for mediating family conflicts......

In fact, he was not a Heavenly Father at all! It's the resentment of him nailed by the art! Tong Guohu said, "Being rushed by resentment, you can't pretend to be it, everyone is not stupid, whether it is true or pretending, you can see it at a glance!" Because of the chaos within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, many generals are unruly, so Hong Xiuquan must frequently let this 'Heavenly Father' come forward to deter these heroes, so he needs a magic weapon with special functions, which can allow resentment to rush at his body anytime and anywhere to disguise his Heavenly Father, and he can take back the resentment at any time! But this is not what Mao Shu is good at, so he will invite Hu Zhenren to go out of the mountain! Most of the people under his command have also been subjected to Mao by Hong Xiuquan, and if a normal person has something attached to his body for a long time, he will feel some obvious abnormalities, so he will be convinced of the so-called Heavenly Father! ”

"Let the resentment rush at any time? Isn't that body going to be hollowed out? Zhang Yicheng frowned, "He's not afraid of kidney loss?" ”

"Hehe, why not a kidney loss? Hong Xiuquan died suddenly in the palace at the age of fifty-one, without warning before he died! After that, the dragons of Tianjing City were leaderless, and soon fell into civil strife, only to be broken by the Qing army! Tong Guohu sneered, "According to Grandpa's idea, the only way to remove the Mao technique on my body is 'Li Dai Taozhuang'......"

According to Tong Guohu, Yuan Shaoyi once came up with a solution: in some habits, resentment is quite similar to animals, if a resentment occupies a physical body, then only if the same kind or natural enemy with overwhelming strength also wants this body, will obediently give in, and the evil natural enemy is only the true immortal.

The method sounds simple, but forcibly inviting the true immortal to come to the body, this kind of thing, for the simple Taoist art, is an impossible task, all the magic circles in the Dao art, all the principles of yin and yang, are aimed at evil ghosts and beasts, in short, they are all things with smaller yang energy than people, the true immortal is not within the scope of the Taoist magic array, this is understandable, the ultimate goal of cultivation is to return to the true immortal, in other words, the immortal is the Tao is the immortal, how can there be their own invention method to fiddle with their own? But the art is different, it was originally a mixed witchcraft, and the gods and horses are not immortals, as long as they are not human, they can all be fiddled. According to Yuan Shaoyi's imagination, Hong Xiuquan's crown is the only magic weapon in the world that integrates the essence of Taoism and the mystery of Maoshu...... (To be continued)
