The self-deceptive method of disguise is nothing more than dyeing hair, drawing eyebrows, painting face, wearing wigs, pasting beards, beards, changing clothing, etc., on the basis of the original face, to achieve the purpose of disguise.

This method is often used in all kinds of women disguised as men, changing clothes to escape, obviously the face shape and appearance have not changed at all, just tie up a hair or paint a little pastel on the face, but others are like blind, dead or alive just can't recognize it.

This kind of disguise belongs to the most simple and low-level disguise technique, and the old woman is quite disdainful of it, so she will call it self-deception.

As for acupuncture, it uses silver needles to be inserted into some special acupoints of the human body, resulting in the accumulation of qi and blood, and the skin is either swollen and swollen, or shriveled and atrophied, so as to achieve the effect of changing the appearance.

It was once rumored that a few years ago, there was a ghost doctor who had a magical method of acupuncture and moxibustion, and he was hunted down and killed because he offended the head of a sect.

He used acupuncture to change his appearance, and secretly lurked beside the master, because the transfiguration technique was so advanced that no one recognized him.

The ghost doctor seized the opportunity and poisoned the head of the sect with wine, and later he was also caught, and in front of everyone, he took off the silver needle inserted in the Fengchi cave, and his appearance changed into another person in an instant, which surprised everyone.

In this way, the method of using acupuncture for disguise has become widely popular in the rivers and lakes.

However, acupuncture has a big drawback, it is not easy to operate, and the effect is relatively slow.

Ordinary people do not have enough understanding of acupuncture points, and there are strict requirements for the depth, strength and angle of silver needles when applying needles.

If you just learn two or three feet of fur, and you stick needles in yourself, you don't know if you don't succeed, and you won't be able to run away from disfigurement.

And because the method of acupuncture and moxibustion needs to make the body automatically react because the acupuncture points and meridians are blocked, it is not immediately effective after using acupuncture.

It can be as short as one or two hours, or as long as two to three days, to fully achieve the effect of transfiguration.

It's fine if you were prepared in advance, but once you encounter revenge and run away, by the time you complete your disguise, you will already be cold.

Gu Shun learned a medical book called acupuncture strategy for incurable diseases in his father's secret room, which contained methods about acupuncture and moxibustion, but the medical book also bluntly said that long-term use of this method will cause irreversible damage to the meridians.

Although black and white are masters of needles, they are rarely used.

The two of them only briefly explained some concepts and needle skills, and then stopped there.

The black and white method of using needles is the same as that contained in the medical book, Gu Shun just listened to it once, and he had already connected the two, and completely mastered this method of disguise.

Acupuncture can be used on himself or on others, and he plans to find someone to try it in the future.

As for the most commonly used method of disguise in the rivers and lakes, it is the mask style, which is the human skin mask as commonly understood.

Human skin masks are generally made of leather materials such as pig skin and sheepskin, which have been specially processed to create the same skin color and texture as human skin.

The human skin mask is divided into two layers, the inner layer needs to fit closely with the skin of the face, and the outer layer is faked to achieve the purpose of disguise.

There is no such thing as silicone in this world, so the craftsmen who make human skin masks process the skins that have just been pulled off the bodies of cows, sheep, pigs and donkeys, and then press them through special molds and shape them hand-in-hand, and finally reach the level of being as thin as paper and making them as real as they are.

Craftsmen who specialize in making human skin masks are called masks in the rivers and lakes, and some particularly good masks are often highly sought after, and the price of a human skin mask from their hands is worth thousands of gold.

According to the legend of the rivers and lakes, the most famous case of using human skin masks is related to the Han Emperor.

In that year, the Hu people invaded the south and invaded the capital, and the last emperor of the Han Dynasty put on a human skin mask, blended in with the people who fled out of the city, and escaped from the capital.

After the city was broken, the first thing the Hu people did was to capture the Han Emperor, so they sent troops to surround the entire palace.

But after the Hu people killed all the forbidden troops guarding the palace and broke into the palace, except for the women in the harem, the eunuchs and a few ministers who regarded death as home, the Han Emperor had long since disappeared.

The disappearance of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty made Hu people feel anxious, unable to sleep and eat, and swore to see people alive and corpses when they died. The Hu soldiers arrested many palace maids and eunuchs and forced them to ask about the whereabouts of the Han Emperor.

In the end, a eunuch couldn't stand the torture and was soon recruited.

It is said that the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty once left a mysterious box, and if the Han Dynasty encountered an accident in the future, he would open the box.

Hearing this, the Hu people began to dig three feet into the palace to find the box. Soon, the overturned dust-free lacquered wooden box was found in the emperor's bedroom.

This wooden box contains a human skin mask.

There is also a four-line poem written on the inner wall of the wooden box:

"With the child's urine with nail water, hidden in the dust of winter and summer, the cow and mutton fat can be faced, and Yi Qianrong does not need to eat bones."

This poem is about how to make a human skin mask, but of course a real human skin mask cannot be so simple.

Upon learning that the emperor of the Han Dynasty had escaped from the palace using a human skin mask, the Hu people immediately closed all the gates of the capital and searched for the emperor's whereabouts from house to house throughout the capital.

After searching for three days in a row, he did not find the whereabouts of the emperor, and in a fit of anger, the Hu people slaughtered all the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital and their families, which was the capital massacre that caused a sensation in the Central Plains and even the entire Han Dynasty.

Since then, the last emperor of the Han Dynasty has completely lost his trace, as if he has evaporated from the world, and there has been no news of him since.

Later, the Hu people claimed that when they were examining the corpse in a prince's mansion, they found the Han Emperor who was hiding in disguise, and took his head off and brought it to the court.

However, there are also many people who doubt the authenticity of this matter, claiming that this is just the Hu people in order to consolidate their rule and maintain their legitimacy, even if the emperor of the previous dynasty really disappeared, they must forge a fake one, so as to extinguish the world's attempt to revive the Han Dynasty.

Regardless of whether the head of the Han Emperor is real or not, almost twenty years have passed since this incident.

In the first few years after the fall of the Han Dynasty, there were many people who rebelled against the Great Qi, but they were all suppressed in the end, and the Hu people had been sitting firmly in the Central Plains for ten years, changing two emperors, and completely consolidating their rule.

However, the fact that the emperor of the previous dynasty used a human skin mask to disguise himself and escape also shows that the use of human skin masks to disguise up to the imperial court and officials, down to the peddlers and pawns, and the rivers and lakes are the most commonly used methods of disguise.

In addition to the masks made by craftsmen from cow and sheep skins, there are also some evil people in the rivers and lakes who make masks with real human skins, such as Cui Yongren in the Valley of the Wicked before, who peeled the skin from the dead to make masks.

Human skin is more realistic than the skin of cattle and sheep, but because the production is directly cut off and the head is too cruel, it has long been banned by the Jianghu martial arts.

Among the Demon Cult, there are many very good masking craftsmen who make masks out of human skin. The Demon Sect operates in the rivers and lakes, and many of the disguises it carries out are from these people.

The use of human skin masks for disguise also has great drawbacks, and people are now learning to be smart.

If you encounter someone who is suspicious of disguise, you will be asked to show your neck, and the examiner will use a wide piece of bamboo to gently scrape near the chin, and if you use a human skin mask, it will easily reveal the flaw.

No matter how real the mask is, it also has points of connection with the jaw and neck, which can be easily recognized.
