Listening to Old Man Yuan talk about this, I probably understood that the reason why that Taoist priest was able to kill people and enter the realm of no one, in addition to his own martial arts, was because he used the burning paper figure in the night, and then put on brown clothes himself, so that those people could not see his cunzài, as if he was wearing an invisibility cloak.

If we don't see it with our own eyes, we can't believe it.

Old man Yuan seemed to be a little tired from what he said, sighed, stopped, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a few sips of tea, at this time Kenya couldn't help but say: "Although I saw it with my own eyes, I still can't believe it, how can we not see it after burning the paper figure and putting on brown clothes?" Isn't this the equivalent of an invisibility cloak? As far as I know, scientifically, we can't make invisibility cloaks at all, so I really can't figure out the reasoning behind this. ”

Hearing Kenya's suspicions, Xiao Lei nodded, and said with emotion: "Kenya is right, there is no way to make an invisibility suit now, because the invisibility suit is not technically possible, and now the scientific community's idea of making an invisibility suit is - through guò energy, the light is distorted, and people can't see the object, or make the object transparent, both of which are technically difficult to achieve;

But in fact, the invisibility cloak was there in ancient times, it is said that in the Qin Dynasty in China, legend has it that on a small island in the East China Sea, there were several hermits, and they mastered this stealth technique, and their stealth technique is to use a kind of smoke, after people inhale this smoke, they can not see them, but other objects can still be seen, which is also a kind of stealth technique. The stealth of these hermits is supposed to use a special drug that affects the optic nerve and makes people invisible to a certain color, and this situation can only work at night, if it is during the day, this method will not work, I think it is a bit similar to the situation encountered today. ”

After listening to Xiao Lei's words, my cousin nodded and said: "That's right, there is indeed this kind of record, but because it is not a record of the official history, I think this is just a legend, I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes today." "How do you know that paper figurines are made of human skin?" Hongmei next to her couldn't help but ask.

Old man Yuan nodded, cleared his throat a little, and then continued: "I saw these from the manuscripts of Xuanheng's predecessors, when the Ming Dynasty was about to fall, there was a Taoist priest from the north, who personally visited Emperor Chongzhen, saying that he had a way to kill Huang Taiji, and also showed his own stunt, that is, to use a similar method to make himself invisible, Emperor Chongzhen also in one night, verified with his own eyes, and felt very magical.

So, rewarded the Taoist priest, the Taoist priest then went to the north, claiming that he was going to kill Huang Taiji, but in the end there was no news of this matter, the Taoist priest was a liar nine times out of ten, Emperor Chongzhen was angry, but there was nowhere to vent, and finally he was angry.

For this reason, Emperor Chongzhen specially sent a Jinyi Wei to investigate the Taoist priest, and gradually found that this kind of paper-burning man's magic is a secret technique of a Taoist sect, which has been passed down for thousands of years, and that kind of paper man is actually made of human skin.

Legend has it that the person who founded this kind of medical technique turned out to be an executioner in the Tang Dynasty, and the punishment he presided over was specially skinned, and his skill was very high, and he could still let a person survive for an hour after he was taken off.

This person's face is also extremely vicious, he has never married in his life, and he has never interacted with anyone, but he is fond of Taoism and alchemy, and his home will be filled with smoke every day. At that time, people had many legends about the fact that there were a lot of skins hanging in his house, and even his boots were made of human skin.

After the Anshi Rebellion, this person who specializes in skinning people suddenly entered the mountains and became a Taoist priest, but his murderous nature has not changed at all, and he can also make human skin into a paper figure with a special method, at night, as long as this paper figure is lit, the person who sees it will undergo strange changes - he can't see the brown thing. ”

"It must be that when this paper figure burns, it emits a special smell, or there is a special light, which makes people's visual nerves change, so that they can't see brown things, I agree with Xiao Lei's point of view, but there is another point, we must note that this paper figure does not have any traces after burning - therefore, I think this paper figure is not made of human skin, but made of another substance."

Hongmei suddenly said so firmly, so that all of us were taken aback, and I found that there was only Crazy Six, as if he agreed with Hongmei's conclusion, and nodded slightly.

"It's not made of human skin, so what do you think it's made of?" Old man Yuan also asked Hongmei in surprise.

Hongmei didn't rush to explain, but stood up from the chair, then walked up to the madman six and said, "Senior, can you borrow me your 'goose yellow willow' to use?" ”

We are even more confused, what "goose yellow willow'", we have never heard of it.

Crazy Six nodded very dryly, then pulled out a small bag from his waist and handed it to Hongmei. Hongmei took out a saucer, opened the so-called 'goose yellow willow', poured it on the plate, and then struck a match and lit the "goose yellow willow" in the saucer.

At this time, I saw Hongmei pick up the plate and show it to us, and to everyone's shock, there was no ash on the plate!

"Everyone saw it just now, after the mass of material burned just now, there was no substance left, the mass of material is called'smokeless willow', which is a kind of anesthetic, some people say that Hua Tuo uses 'hemp boiling powder', in fact, it is this substance, he is used in surgery, but it is not yet conclusive, when I was a child studying medicine, I heard my grandfather say this kind of thing.

This 'smokeless willow' is not a willow tree, but a moss, but this moss is very similar to the leaves of a willow tree, so it has this name, although it has no smell after ignition, but if you have a little cold, you can smell it, it is a faint smell, coincidentally, I happened to have a little cold, so when the paper figure burned, I smelled a faint smell, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but after Mr. Yuan said this, I immediately remembered what was going on, I lit it just now. 'smokeless willow', I smelled the same stench, so I was even more sure that the paper figure was not made of human skin, but this 'smokeless willow'. ”

After listening to Hongmei's explanation, everyone was silent, we all thought that what Old Man Yuan said was right, but what we didn't expect was that things suddenly changed, what was going on? The story of the paper man told by Professor Shan, the paper man told by Old Man Yuan is made of human skin, but now Hongmei says that the paper man is made of moss, what is going on?

Who should we believe? Who's right?

That's when the unexpected happened:

Maniac Six suddenly giggled! Everyone in the room was shocked, and they all looked at Maniac Six. I don't know why, but my hairy eyes stand up all over my body, what's going on? Crazy Six is usually a person who rarely laughs, and even if he wants to laugh, he is just smiling, but now he suddenly laughs so weirdly, what strange things happened? Because in this case, there's no reason to laugh at all.

At this time, I saw Madman Six sitting on the leaves, holding the 'smokeless willow' in his hand, giggling while watching, in the dim light, this is really a very strange scene, very mad, Hongmei seemed to think of something, suddenly snatched the cigarette from Mr. Chen's hand, took two puffs, and then held the cigarette in his mouth, and then walked to Madman Six, and then spit the cigarette at Madman Six, Madman Six was choked and coughed violently, coughing several times, and then slowly recovered to normal.

And Hongmei quickly wrapped up the "smokeless willow" in the hands of the madman six.

Maniac Liu's face turned red, panting heavily, after a long while, Maniac Liu's face was relieved, his face was already calm, he drank water, and before we could ask, he sighed and said: "Just now, everyone thought I was very strange, in fact, it was all caused by the 'smokeless willow'."

Everyone has heard what Hongmei said, but what she said is not entirely right. ”

Everyone was completely stunned, including my cousin, who was also surprised, things were really getting more and more complicated. Maniac Six went on to preach:

"In addition to the anesthetic effect, this 'smokeless willow' also has anti-infection, as well as pain relief, hemostasis, is one of the most precious trauma medicines, in ancient times, if the soldier was injured, even if it was a very minor injury, it would often die, because the medical conditions were very poor at that time, it was easy to infect, and there was no amputation technology, so the mortality rate was very high, and this 'smokeless willow' is indeed a kind of moss, and this kind of moss is dried to make medicine, it becomes a powder, as long as this powder is applied to the wound, the effect of hemostasis and pain relief is excellent, Therefore, on the ancient battlefield, it is a cure more precious than gold, and only high-ranking generals are qualified to use it.

But once this powder is inhaled, people will laugh involuntarily, just now when I was holding this 'smokeless willow' powder, I accidentally sneezed, blew the powder up, and inhaled it into my nose, so everyone saw me giggle, and Hongmei because she was born in a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and the profession is also a doctor, so she understands better, and used a cigarette to make me cough violently a few times, before the powder in my breath was discharged. However, after Hongmei, Mr. Yuan, and the paper man mentioned by Professor Shan, I suddenly realized what was going on with that paper man. ”
