Chapter 406: Illusionist
Any illusion can only be approximate, but it can't be created out of nothing, creating another "Lin Xuan".
Therefore, Lin Xuan also thought of the "man" who was exactly like him.
"Could it be that he's ghostly here again?" He couldn't help but sigh.
When he collapsed from the secret room, the man, Pasha, and the Soviet special forces fell together, and they did not know what happened. That kind of ending also made Lin Xuan feel relieved, as if he had gotten rid of the entanglement of a cobra. If "that man" reappears, it's a tricky thing.
Luo Yuan was still crying in a low voice, like a child who had lost his soul, unable to help Lin Xuan in any way.
"Shhhhh Lin Xuan gestured to Luo Yuan.
Luo Yuan raised his head, looked at Lin Xuan blankly, and then lowered his head again.
If that person came and cast an illusion on Tang Na, Lin Xuan would no longer be able to tolerate it, because the illusion would have a certain amount of damage to people's spirit and willpower.
"Donna is innocent, why drag her in?" Lin Xuan leaned his back against the stone statue and breathed slowly, keeping his mind calm. At the same time, he was considering the causal relationship between the man, Donna, and the Nepalese curse, and how it would be most appropriate to end this state of chaos.
There are many examples of "illusion" recorded in history, and the following impressed Lin Xuan:
Guo Pu of the Jin Dynasty was good at illusion and could make people regard soybeans as villains. The Book of Jin? Guo Pu's Biography records: Love the master and maid, there is no reason to get, but to take three buckets of small beans, around the master's house to disperse, the master saw thousands of people in red clothes around his house in the morning, he looked at it and destroyed, very evil.
During the Northern Wei Dynasty, the northwest came to offer illusions to the distant Yueban country. The Book of Wei? The Legend of the Western Regions records that the country of Yue Pan "sent an envoy to offer and sent a phantom person, saying that it can cut off people's throats and veins, hit people's heads and make bones fall, and all blood is several liters or Yingdou, and use herbs in its mouth to make it chew and swallow, and the bleeding must stop, and the sores will return to normal in a month, and there will be no traces." The ancestor doubted his falsehood, but he took the death penalty prisoner and tried it, and it was all tested. All the famous mountains in China have this grass, which is to make people suffer from its art and meet it. It is also said that the country has a great magician, and the worm comes to plunder, and the magician can do rain, wind, snow and tricks, and the worm freezes to death and drifts to death." The previous case mentioned in this material seems to be credible, the treatment of traumatic injuries with medicinal herbs has returned to normal in one month, and Chinese medicine has indeed had this miraculous effect.
There are five generations of warlocks who can recruit birds. Song Guo Ruoxu in "Pictures? "Art Painting" records: "In the past, Meng Shu had a warlock who was good at painting. The lord of Shu then ordered a wild magpie to be painted in the east corner of the court, and many birds gathered in Russia and made noise. The second order Huang Zhen painted a wild magpie in the west corner of the court, then there was no noise of collecting birds, and the lord of Shu asked the master for the reason, and the counterpart 'the minister painted the art painting also. He painted the art of painting. ’”
From the Han Dynasty onwards, the "phantom people" from the West brought illusion performances such as "swallowing knives" and "spitting fire", and the illusions from the Western Regions during the Tang and Song dynasties were more popular.
During the Northern Song Dynasty, Tokyo had this program in the hundred operas staged by the armies to the emperor during the Qingming Festival every year. Song Dynasty Meng Yuanlao "Tokyo Menghualu" Volume 7 "Lucky Linshui Temple to Watch the Tin Banquet" recorded: "There is another explosion of war, there are fireworks gushing out, people do not see each other, there are seven people in the smoke, all wearing tattoos, wearing green gauze short clothes, splendid belly and looking at the belt, one person in the golden flower hat, holding the white flag, the rest are headscarves, holding real knives, fighting and stabbing each other, making the trend of breaking the face and dissecting the heart, called the 'Seven Holy Knives'." The academic community has long paid attention to the illusion of the "Seven Holy Knives", but there has been a lack of physical research objects in the Song Dynasty.
The fragment of Dunhuang's "Shazhou Yizhou Gazetteer" (transcript of the first year of Guangqi) records the illusion performed by the Shazhou Zhuzhu in the Tang Dynasty. In addition, according to the record of "Shufu Yuan Turtle", in the first month of the first year of Tang Gaozong's Xianqing, the imperial court ordered a ban on such illusion performances. The third volume of the Tang Dynasty notebook "Chaoye Zhizai" records: "There are Hu Zheng temples in Lidefang in Henan Prefecture and Xifang in Nanshi. Every year old, the merchant Hu prays for blessings, cooks pigs and sheep, pipa drums and flutes, and sings and dances drunk. After the god is drunk, he recruits a hu as the lord, and the viewer gives money and cooperates with it. Its lord takes a horizontal knife, which is the same as frost and snow, but the hair is not blown, and the knife is stabbed in the abdomen, and the blade comes out of the back, and it still disturbs the intestines and bleeding. Food, spraying water, calm as before. This covers the illusion of the Western Regions. "The image of the princes who sent the funeral princes in the Western Regions in the Nirvana transformation image of Dunhuang Cave 158 is actually from the influence of the Zoroastrian religion of the Hu people. This kind of illusion, which shocked the people of the Tang and Song dynasties, was basically extinct after the Ming Dynasty because it was inconsistent with the moral values and folk customs that the Han people should cherish their parents.
Illusion is nothing but fiction, nothing is false, it is actually magic. Every illusion requires careful planning in order to turn fiction into reality and truth from falsehood. For example, in the case of "spitting calligraphy and painting", the performer sprays water on the wall, and calligraphy and painting can appear. The reason for this is that the gallnut is soaked in water in advance, and the calligraphy and painting are made on the wall with this potion, which is hidden, and the calligraphy and painting can be revealed by spraying it with honey locust water during the performance, just like the pen and ink book.
Illusion is the summary of life experience, the observation of some coincidental phenomena in practice, processing and choreographing. Performing in a well-known place, calmly and without revealing flaws, this requires a certain amount of skill.
Illusion has superstitious overtones and promotes the work of gods and ghosts, which should be criticized. However, it is necessary to discover illusion while criticizing, summarize scientific knowledge from illusion, and use illusion to enrich cultural life and give illusion a new life.
Then, among the professions in the rivers and lakes that Lin Xuan knows, there is also the category of "illusionist".
Illusionists are a rare profession, and since most of their spells are to create illusions to deceive others, they are closer to Western magicians and magicians in this regard.
From a technical point of view, the illusionist is a terrifying profession that uses mental torture to kill the enemy as the main means of confusing the enemy. They are often very proud, and they are the best embodiment of elegance and mystery. The most important feature of the illusionist is that he can kill invisibly, that is, kill without bloodshed. Unlike wizards and elementals, they do not use the natural elements of nothingness to perform their skills, but use the wonderful hallucinations or terrible dreams that various plants can bring to people to confuse each other's souls and minds. Therefore, they should never be able to disassociate themselves from some terrible and beautiful plants, as if it were their fate.
The profession is discredited in European mystical religions, mainly because most of the people who practice it are in the middle of both good and evil. On the other hand, despite the existence of this class, people only see it as a mere curse expert or a user of debuff magic, but in fact the illusionist's attack ability should be much more than that. Moreover, the illusionist should possess similar abilities such as invisibility.
Lin Xuan had seen a lot of "illusionists", and had had in-depth exchanges with them, and had a very deep understanding of that profession.
