Before Liu Xiang had time to speak, Guo Xier knelt down at Cui Hantang's feet with a pop, and said with tears of gratitude: "Immortal, Master..."
Although Cui Hantang didn't know Guo Xi'er, he knew it must be someone like Liu Xiang's life secretary. He quickly helped her up and said, "No need to be polite, it's just a small matter."
Liu Xiang was in much better spirits at this time. He felt that he still had many doubts about this matter, so he asked: "Taoist Cui, you have also seen my residence. What is going on?"
"Don't be impatient. This matter is a bit complicated. I just said that if I don't explain the cause and effect clearly, you materialists will definitely treat me as a mental illness." Cui Hantang sat down slowly and said, "Let me Let’s start from the beginning slowly.”
He glanced at Guo Xi'er, who was eagerly trying to make some fun, and Liu Xiang quickly said: "Xier, you go out first."
Guo Xier responded and went out reluctantly.
Lin Baiguang said: "Okay, then come and listen."
"Let me start with Mayor Liu's heart-dropping success." Cui Hantang took another sip of tea, cleared his throat and slowly began to popularize the witchcraft "heart-dropping", "Of course, the head-dropping technique This concept was only found in Southeast Asia in the old time and space. But this does not mean that there is no similar thing in China in this time and space. Heart descending is also called spiritual descending - the spiritual magic head descending master can use his own willpower to make the victim produce Hallucinations, or loss of consciousness, and doing incredible and strange things. This type of head-lowering technique must be performed with a large number of spells. It has the same effect as the spells used by what we call "Fu Zaixian" It is very fast and can control a person's will in an instant and do things he didn't want to do. The head-dropping masters who use spiritual descending are usually the more powerful group of head-dropping masters. This is the case with the spell that harmed Mayor Liu Xiang. A master!"
"This is unscientific. Where is the mental control?" Lin Boguang felt that his outlook on life was about to collapse.
"It seems to be possible. Some senior hypnotists seem to be able to do it. I've seen it on TV." Liu San said.
"Yes, it is similar to advanced hypnosis. The principle is to give the subject a psychological suggestion and make him believe it. This will naturally produce a mental hypnosis effect and achieve the purpose of controlling other people's life and death." Cui Hantang said with a smile: " You still remember the setting in "The Matrix". In the fight in the virtual space, although the human body is still in the petri dish and has not been harmed, the various stimulations the brain receives in the virtual space will be fed back to the body. When they realize that they are 'dead', even if their real body is intact, they will think that the person is dead and their functions will stop. This is a bit metaphysical, but it is not unfounded. Similar things have happened in history. Yes. When the indigenous wizards in Southeast Asia curse someone, they only need to cast the spell in front of other people, and then let the bystanders tell the person they want to kill: You have been cursed by the wizard. Then the person will die after a period of time, even if Medically, no disease could be found in him! This is the power of faith. The moment the person knew the news, the education he received made him believe that he was dead, so he died."
After explaining this for a long time, everyone finally understood something. Liu San said tentatively: "The other party used the method of haunting to hint to Liu Xiang: You have been cursed. Liu Xiang believed in the haunting, so he is in danger."
"That's it." Cui Hantang nodded.
Lin Baiguang put forward a different opinion: "But this kind of spiritual suggestion must actually be supported by certain environmental factors. In other words, rather than being hypnotized, it is better to subconsciously believe in these things."
"You are right. To achieve the goal, firstly, there must be internal causes, and secondly, there must be environment." Cui Hantang talked eloquently, "Let's talk about internal causes first. Head-lowering techniques are popular in Southeast Asia, and the fox fairies in the Northeast are the most effective. The British There are still many people who believe that the king's touch can cure diseases... In the final analysis, it has a mass base and belief. From emperors to beggars, everyone believes in this. Even if you have a master's degree or a doctorate, or won the Nobel Prize, as long as When you grow up in this social environment, these traditional beliefs will take root in your heart. As long as you can use certain methods to stimulate them appropriately, you can get twice the result with half the effort." He glanced at the elders with a half-smile, "Everyone here Everyone is a materialist, right? But ask yourself, every time you pass by some not-so-romantic places in the dead of night, do you still feel a little guilty and timid, and can't help but think of some supernatural things? Do you watch it in the middle of the night? After watching a horror movie, do you feel uneasy when going to the toilet? The reason why we can not believe it is because we have the weapon of reason to suppress our inner fear of the non-material world..."
Lin Baiguang interrupted him: "Okay, okay, don't go too far. We know what you mean. Let's get to the point."
"The next step is external causes." Cui Hantang said, "Since everyone has such a seed in their heart, then the wizard only needs to find appropriate means to make this seed germinate. There are many such means: words, actions, Objects, patterns... can be used to inspire people. In the end, people will believe it is true, and in the end they will be 'possessed' and die."
"So serious? Then how do you say Mayor Liu is fine?" Mu Min asked.
"Because he is a modern person and does not believe in witchcraft. The internal factors are not enough, and now he is only doubtful. The fire of materialism in his heart supports him from being scared to death. If it were the ancients, it is really hard to say. "Cui Hantang touched his chin and said.
"Then am I okay now?" Liu Xiang touched his forehead in disbelief, "But I really don't know what methods they used - I have seen a lot of people..."
"If I don't tell you, you are really in trouble, and you still need treatment. According to the research of scientists, as long as the person who is in the spiritual descent takes a large amount of vitamin B2 complex to enhance the activity of his brain cells, he can naturally get rid of it. The spiritual suggestion of the person who gave the surrender. In other words, vitamin B2 complex is the special medicine to break the spiritual surrender. In the old time and space, you could easily buy it in pharmacies on the streets!" Cui Hantang said with a smile.
"Vitamin B2 complex? Who would bring that thing in time travel? Even if it existed, it would have expired now!" Liu Sandao said.
"After all, that's all. Then slowly provide psychological counseling to Liu Xiang, such as reciting the Golden Light Mantra."
Liu San said: "This is actually a psychological suggestion, right?"
Cui Hantang nodded reluctantly: "That's right." He stood up and paced, "People with hyperthyroidism don't sleep well and can easily suffer from mental breakdown. After Mayor Liu entered the city, he had to work hard every day. It seems that he is full of energy, but he is actually strong on the outside but capable at the same time. It is easy for him to fall into this trick if he is not energetic."
Mu Min interjected: "I don't understand. How did this hint come down? Liu Xiang's security work here has been done well. He doesn't eat food from outside. As for meeting people, they are either naturalized people. Or they are indigenous people who are closely related to us."
Cui Hantang nodded; "As for hints, this place is full of hints. Let's talk about the most obvious ones: the wives, concubines, maids, and so on of the prefect Dong committed suicide in this courtyard, right?"
Several people nodded.
"... Maybe, some people have hung themselves from the beams of the houses that have been converted into offices and dormitories here - I just took a closer look, and there are also some wear and tear on the beams of this conference room."
Liu Xiang hesitated and said, "I've thought about this too, but I didn't see the scene - when I came in, all the bodies were restrained and carried out of the middle door."
"I haven't seen it, but you also know that such a thing has happened, right? The imagination is sometimes scarier than the real scene." Cui Hantang shook his huge head, "I think Mayor Liu has been worried since he entered the city and saw those corpses. I was a little scared, and naturally I knew where they committed suicide. But in order to maintain the majesty of the elders, I was not willing to go and clean myself up first when there was nothing to do and a lot of things at hand. Residence. It’s like forcing myself to live in the old government office, but I still care about it in my heart. After entering the city, you have so many things to do, so naturally you can’t think of this, but the seeds have been left in your subconscious..."
Seeing Liu Xiang nodding in approval, Cui Hantang continued: "The demon this time also took advantage of this. He arranged several mechanisms to enhance the hint to you, and then used a small spell as a lure to induce your inner desire. Fear will make you confused, and then the real killing moves will follow. The opponent made three moves in total!!!"
"Wait a minute," Mu Min interrupted: "Can you tell me more details, such as the details of the spell, the layout of the killing move, etc. This will help solve the case."
"Okay, I'll tell you everything I know." Cui Hantang nodded and said, "The first trick is actually very simple: the door and windows are making noise because someone has applied eel serum on the doors and windows, and the surrounding bats will pounce on them at night. They would bump into the doors and windows one after another, waking up Mayor Liu who was already a light sleeper. When the lights were turned on, the bats would naturally fly away."
"We have actually thought about this," Mu Min said. "We probably guessed that similar methods were used, but there were only stains on the windows, not blood."
"If there were blood stains, it would be too obvious." Cui Hantang said, "There are many people who know this routine. Guangzhou is a big place, there are many Taoist spectators, and there should be many Taoist masters. In order to prevent someone from exposing his method, the demon man I used an upgraded version - I applied it with serum."
Liu San nodded: "Yes! The serum is colorless, and there will only be stains when applied."
"So the demon also knows about hematology..." Mu Min couldn't believe it. (To be continued.)
