In history, Zhuge Wuhou made many inventions. In addition to the Qimen Bagua, there are also Kongming Lanterns, Zhuge Liannu, steamed buns, wooden cows and flowing horses, bridge guns, etc. The inventions that surprised Ye Feng the most included landmines. Zhuge Liang originally besieged Sima Yi in the valley above. Sima Yi was burned by the fire and had nowhere to escape. When Zhuge Liang was about to use a mine, it rained heavily and the fire extinguished the mine's fuse. Zhuge Liang lamented, "It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to Heaven to make things happen."
And this has to be said about a person who is closely related to Wu Hou, Wu Hou’s wife Huang Yueying
"Xiangyang Qi Jiuji" records that his father said that he was ugly, with yellow hair and dark skin, but his talent was comparable to Zhuge Liang. There is a proverb circulating in the countryside: "Don't be a wise man when choosing a wife, or you will get an ugly woman like A Cheng." However, in Huang Yueying's hometown, today's Xiangyang, Hubei Province, in the temple built by the locals for this talented woman, she is not ugly at all. The issue of appearance ends here first.
According to the literature, Huang Yueying's intelligence is reflected in ingenuity and invention. Zhuge Kongming's Wooden Ox and Flowing Horse were inspired by Huang Yueying's invention. As for Huang Yueying's clever skills, the most talked about by later generations is Huang Yueying's puppet skills. Legend has it that Huang Yueying created a puppet woman to sell meat in the market. Her speech, behavior, skin color and expression were just like a living person. No one noticed anything unusual in the market for several days. Until later, a man expressed his feelings to the puppet woman, which scared Huang Yueying. The next day, I didn’t dare to put the puppet in the market. There are many absurdities in this legend. The funniest thing is that if Huang Yueying got brain-twitched and let the puppet woman marry, the man would find out during the wedding that it was an inflatable doll that would do things. What do you think, but if you are a modern person, it should not be a big problem. But this also illustrates the power of Huang Yueying's puppet skills.
But the puppetry technique was certainly not her first creation, so where did she learn it? None of this can be verified. The only thing that is known is that the puppetry technique has existed in southern Xinjiang since ancient times. We all know that the whole body of a corpse becomes stiff after death. The man who used corpse insects to create corpse soldiers must also have used similar puppet structures in the corpse soldiers. Otherwise, he would be faced with a bunch of popsicles that can only jump up and down. Any ethnic group that can still be exterminated is simply a pig, and will be stupidly killed.
As for things like witchcraft, there are no relevant records in the documents given by Chi Yueling, but Ye Feng does know a lot about this.
The history of witchcraft appearing in Huaxia is very long. In primitive society, because humans had relatively little knowledge and did not understand certain situations that occurred in this society, they combined thunder, lightning, rain, and volcanic eruptions in nature. , earthquakes and other phenomena mistakenly think that a certain god is angry, and they are in constant fear all day long, fearing that God will send disasters to them if they are unhappy, just like diseases, plagues, etc.
Therefore, primitive humans used certain things to worship, because they felt that these things were the incarnations of gods, and that gods evolved from these things, which gave rise to "totem worship." There are certain rituals in worship. Through these rituals, people express their piety to God and also express some of their wishes, such as having children, longevity, hoping for good weather and a good harvest, etc. When there are rituals, There is a leader, and through this person, various rituals are organized to convey everyone's wishes to the gods. Such people are called "witches" or become sacrifices in some places. For example, he was called a wizard in southern Xinjiang
It is not difficult to see that the existence of witches is related to the belief in gods, but most people outside southern Xinjiang believe in so-called good gods in a positive sense. But southern Xinjiang shamans represent not only good gods, but also so-called evil gods.
Witchcraft is a technique that attempts to influence or control certain people or things with the help of supernatural and mysterious power. The functions can include praying for help, summoning spirits, cursing, exorcising ghosts, avoiding evil, etc. Ye Feng is probably most interested in summoning spirits, but summoning spirits can only be used on people who have just died. The shorter the time, the higher the success rate. The longer it takes, the easier it is to fail. But Ye Feng guesses that the success rate is really related to whether the soul is still wandering in the world, because even two people who have just died will still succeed or fail. It has nothing to do with time. When a person dies and the soul has not yet entered the underworld and is wandering in the world, witchcraft can use the connection between the soul and the body to summon the soul. The success rate is very high at this time, but once it goes to the underworld, the soul will return to the underworld at that time. Never mind, if you call for souls at that time, you are basically competing for business with the underworld openly and openly. If you don’t fail, who will fail? Of course you can kill seven people in and out of the underworld, except for the legendary monkey who overturned it.
Generally speaking, the power involved in witchcraft, that is, witchcraft, seems to Ye Feng to be more like a mixture of divine power of faith, inner energy of human power, and Yin power. Inner Qi and Yin power are much more closely aligned with each other than divine power. Therefore, although there is also divine power, witchcraft is destined to be a technique for people to explore downward, rather than upward.
There are only so many things that Ye Feng is interested in, so it can be considered a fruitful harvest.
As for the five people in Southern Xinjiang, Ye Feng played a little trick. When Ye Feng was telling Chi Yueling about those things on the plane, wasn't there lightning and thunder outside the plane? Ye Feng was actually testing. He could tell The bottom line of that war is there. To use a common saying today: It is a crazy temptation on the verge of being punished by heaven. The bottom line has been tested, as long as the relevant news is not clearly conveyed to others by voice. Ye Feng could tell from the beginning that Chi Yueling's composition was terrible. It would be good to be able to express her own thoughts in the article at least five or six times, but for the old man Chi Rong, this five or six achievement was enough. Ye Feng wanted the old man to retreat when he saw the difficulty, stop getting his granddaughter involved, and take him away as soon as possible. This is also the reason why the old man has the illusion that Ye Feng is a thousand-year-old fox.
In fact, Ye Feng knew from the beginning that Chi Yueling's identity was extraordinary, because people from southern Xinjiang rarely moved around other places. A young girl with superb Gu skills suddenly appeared. You said she was just an ordinary person. , fantasy novels are not written like this. Ye Feng just didn't expect that in addition to the Chi family, he would also lead the Zhuge family out
But what Ye Feng didn't expect was that this old man named Chi Rong was so ruthless that he would still let his granddaughter participate, who was probably not his biological child. The old man was telling the truth when he said that Chi Yueling would be betrothed to him. For them, women have always been just a tool to ensure family interests through marriage. At this point, family affection is pale and powerless. If you advance, you will cling to the dividends of the possible rise of the human race. If you retreat, you will only lose a tool for the sake of a possibility.
So Ye Feng wanted to beat Chi Rong sincerely. It is also for this reason that Ye Feng never taught Chi Yueling anything that might touch the bottom line.
