The Legend of the Immortal Part 2 Retribution Chapter 46 The Auction
As the name suggests, the "outer array" is a formation that borrows the geographical terrain and spell casting materials to the outside world, while the "inner array" is a formation that is placed on people, and this poisonous scale array is a kind of inner array.
In Maoshan's theory, when people are too painful, the soul will temporarily leave the body, which causes the so-called shock, at this time even if the person is still alive, he will lose his will, and on the battlefield, many people are only slashed and fell, and it is this "lost soul" phenomenon caused by pain, in fact, these fallen people are not dead, but only shock or fainting.
The purpose of the poison scale array is to put an end to this phenomenon of "losing the soul" due to pain on the battlefield, and its principle is to first scorch the seven veins of the human body with a red-hot soldering iron, and then embed a fish scale called "anglerfish*" into the charred flesh of the seven veins, and after the injury is healed, the fish scales are combined with the skin and flesh, so this kind of paroxysm is also called "anglerfish array". This "anglerfish" was born in the deep sea, the yin qi is much heavier than other fish, after its scales are born into the seven veins, due to the principle of yin and yang attracting, it can slow down the yang circulation of the seven veins, disrupt the normal yin and yang qi veins of the human body, one can make the surface skin around the seven veins acupuncture points of the human body quickly enter the medical "necrosis" state and quickly "keratinize", without a knife and gun, and the other can prevent the soul from easily going out of the body, effectively preventing the transient shock of the human body. Let the body be bruised without diminishing its bravery", in the era of cold weapons, if the entire army was applied to this kind of formation, its combat effectiveness can be imagined.
Theoretically speaking, a famous orthodox church like Maoshan would not take the initiative to invent this kind of evil formation, but after all, the ancients were righteous and patriotic. Although he has entered the Daomen, Gao Yun Quzhen, the head of the sect at that time, is still showing the public as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and it is naturally incumbent on him to do his best when he encounters foreign invasions, which is why it came later. The reason why Gao Yunqu did not present the poisonous scale array to the imperial court when King Li Zicheng rebelled: they are all Chinese, even if Beijing City is destroyed by Li Zicheng, it is also your Chongzhen Emperor who found it himself, and this formation was not invented to deal with the Ming Dynasty's own people...
When Wu Sangui released the Qing soldiers into the customs, Gao Yunqu originally wanted to dedicate this formation to Li Zicheng to use to resist the Manchurians, but the situation at that time was far from being comparable to Yuan Chonghuan's protracted war against the Manchurians: this angler fish was originally a deep-sea fish. With the fishery technology at that time, it was impossible to carry out large-scale fishing, and it was good to catch a few blind cats and dead rats a year along the coast of the country, and the Manchurians were put into the customs by Wu Sangui in just a few months. Before anyone caught a angler fish in the coastal area, Li Zicheng was defeated, so this formation was also listed as a forbidden formation by the two real people, although the formation map was not destroyed, but it was definitely kept secret in the ancestral courts of the two factions.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the Eight-Nation Coalition attacked Beijing, the Boxers used to fight against foreigners under the slogan of "Shinto helps each other and are invulnerable", and it is rumored that some high-ranking Boxers seem to be able to really achieve the so-called "invulnerability of foreign guns". It is said that the descendants of Chen Jingchang Zhenren of Longhu Mountain could not bear the external humiliation and privately released the formation of the "Poison Scale Array", but they failed to return to the sky because of the disparity between the equipment of the enemy and me.
"That's... Why didn't Old Man Ma use this battle to fight the Japanese? Old Liu Tou wondered.
"That's... It's an evil array...", Dai Jin Shuangdao. "There is that kind of array on the body, it's not that you can't die, but it's just 'dying later', and the soul is not easy to leave the body after death, even if you can leave the body, you don't know if you can be reincarnated..." The master is a person who has been trained in modern thought, and this kind of array is powerful. But he's not going to let this stuff out..."
"I don't know if I can be reincarnated?" Zhang Guozhong frowned, "Gao Zhangjiao doesn't know about them?" ”
"Yes!" Dai Jin is unambiguous. "People with this kind of array on their bodies can't leave their bodies, so they won't faint even if they are covered in bruises, and they must bear this pain from beginning to end, so it's impossible to determine whether their souls are resentful spirits..."
"Then which side of the Philippines is this formation? Japanese? Zhang Guozhong asked.
"Nonsense! Not Japanese or Filipino!? Dai Jinshuang suddenly roared, and his attitude changed like a three-year-old child, scaring Zhang Guozhong into a clever way.
"Don't the Japanese know the harm of this formation?" Zhang Guozhong frowned and said, "Uncle Ma can be influenced by modern thought, won't the Japanese?" ”
"The Japanese have modern science, but the Japanese don't have the mind of modern people..."Dai Jinshuang said coldly...
According to Dai Jinshuang's recollections, the weapons and equipment of the Philippine army at that time were also very backward, but the strength of the Japanese army was indeed beyond common sense, and the report of the intelligence department was that "the Japanese soldiers were still brave after being coated with highly poisonous arrows", to be honest, Dai Jinshuang had also heard of the so-called "bushido spirit" of the Japanese, but it was absolutely impossible for the "bushido" to defeat the poison, and the only thing that could make the Japanese soldiers continue to fight after being poisoned may be a crooked way similar to the "poisonous scale array". In order to avoid the recurrence of this evil way on the Chinese battlefield, Dai Jinshuang resolutely decided to find his apprentice to investigate. In fact, before sending his apprentices, Dai Jinshuang himself didn't think about this matter in the direction of the "poisonous scale array" at all, thinking that it was just an oriental evil path similar to "boil disease", but after the apprentices returned to China, Dai Jinshuang was dumbfounded, and the so-called evil way on the Japanese was nothing else, it was the "poisonous scale array" of the Maoshan forbidden array.
Dai Jinshuang sent a total of three apprentices to Japan, and there are two genuine Kuomintang agents, of which Dai Jinshuang's three apprentices are all serving in the anti-Japanese guerrillas led by the underground party at this time, and their skills are also good, their task is not only to find out the so-called "poison scale array" incident in the Philippines, but most importantly, to smuggle the body of a Japanese soldier back to China as much as possible, because only Dai Jinshuang and Liu Zhenyu, the fifth elder of Maoshan, have seen the formation with their own eyes. The 'Furry Disease' incident and some previous evil incidents, so Dai Jinshuang and Liu Zhenyu can only rely on the real Japanese corpses to determine whether this is really the work of the "Poison Scale Array".
"Then Liao Kezhou's ability is really beyond my expectations..."Dai Jinshuang said, "He can really bring the corpses of Japanese soldiers..."In Dai Jinshuang's impression, Liao Kezhou's credit is not simply to transport apprentices and agents to the Philippines, but to find a way to transport the corpses of Japanese soldiers back to China...
After determining that the formation on the corpses of the Japanese soldiers was the "poisonous scale array", Dai Jinshuang and Liu Zhenyu suspected that someone in Maoshan or Longhu Mountain had defected, and after contacting Yuan Shaoyi Zhenren of Longhu Mountain through the China Taiping Blessing Committee, Maoshan and Longhu Mountain gathered almost all the surviving people who had the opportunity to contact the "poison scale array" formation at that time, and after asking one by one, no one seemed to have defected Among them, the souls of two of them have not been recruited, among which the souls of the four disciples of Longhu Mountain are trapped in the magic array, which has been eliminated by Yuan Shao's personal confirmation, and Ma Sijia's real soul trapped in the Jingzhong Array can also be eliminated, so all the doubts are concentrated on the three disciples of Longhu Mountain, Miao Zhigu, and the second disciple of Maoshan Wang Zhenjiang, saying that they are dead, but they can't recruit the soul, could it be that they have been reincarnated?
Although they were suspicious, several people did not have evidence in their hands, and it was inconvenient to draw conclusions, and later there was an incident similar to the "Poison Scale Array" on the battlefield in China, and this matter was gradually forgotten.
In 1945, Japan surrendered, and World War II basically ended, but the war in China did not subside as Dai Jinshuang expected, at first, the Kuomintang government hoped that Dai Jinshuang and Liu Zhenyu could continue to serve the Military Unification Bureau and help deal with it*, but they were rejected by Dai and Liu, for a simple reason: the Kuomintang was completely internal, and even the anti-Japanese military spending was greedy, since it was also Chinese, the country might as well be handed over to the disciplined * to manage...
Although optimistic about the * policy, but Dai Jinshuang and Liu Zhenyu after seven years of anti-Japanese career, Yang Shou has long been exhausted, and has no energy to participate in the war anymore, after saying goodbye to Feng Kunlun, the two came to Hong Kong with the help of their relationship with Liao Kezhou in order to avoid the war.
"What about your goal of building mountains and contemplating mountains...?" Zhang Guozhong said with a smile.
"I wanted to wait until the battle was over, but who knew we ran into him...!" The muscles on Dai Jinshuang's face suddenly tightened, and his expression made people shudder.
said that it was with the help of Liao Kezhou's relationship, in fact, Dai Jinshuang relied on Liang Xiaolan's relationship, although Liang Xiaolan was not popular in the Liao family at that time, but it was more than enough to arrange these two people, because of the war, Dai Jinshuang's money in the mainland silver number, that is, the money earned by Fu stealing guns, was all in vain at that time, but fortunately, the money for the Liao family was stored in Hong Kong, so it was still a bit of a family.
"Our two brothers are nested in Hong Kong, just hoping that one day after the war is over, we will go back to the Taoist temple..."Dai Jinshuang sighed, "But I didn't expect him to rain the truth, but I have to go to the second child to settle accounts..."
After arriving in Hong Kong, Liang Xiaolan first arranged a place for the Dai Liu brothers, and then began to "contact business" for the two in the name of Aunt Liao's wife, which is nothing more than looking at feng shui practices and other things.
Originally, the life of the two of them was very beautiful, but the fifth child always regretted that he didn't take advantage of the chaos to get a good guy, Dai Jinshuang had the heart to give his guy to his junior brother, he didn't want to live or die, just at this juncture, an auction in the celebrity circle attracted Liu Zhenyu's attention...
