"You are right, I suspect that Kong Deshun is a remnant of the Golden Flower Clan~"
Xu Xiake's conclusion was expected by everyone. After all, those clan elders came from Jinhuamen in Lingnan. It was reasonable to say that Kong Deshun was really a remnant of Jinhuamen. However, they lacked strong evidence and did not dare to make a decision.
"My master said that he was once possessed by a nightmare. Do you know what is needed to make incense from a nightmare?"
The little Taoist priest knew that they were curious, so he no longer pretended to be ignorant and explained to them:
"Lingnan is hot and humid and foggy. Although hundreds of beasts are dormant in the woods, people are not allowed to walk in them. Once someone rashly gets involved in the primitive dense forest, they often think they have hallucinations, become violent and crazy, and deny their relatives. They can be deaf or blind in the least, or die in the worst case. Some people believe that there are ghosts and gods hidden in the mountains and wilderness. It is the ghosts and gods who protect these forests and animals and do not allow people to enter the unknown wild forests. It is also because of this that there are Nuo performances to worship gods in these places, and there is endless belief in mountain ghosts and wild monsters."
"Later, some wandering Taoist priests discovered that they did not die after walking into the primitive dense forest. It can be seen that not all mountain ghosts and wild monsters are causing trouble in the wild forest. After several generations of Taoist priests took turns to stay and study the pharmacology of herbs, they finally understood that it was the poisonous miasma in the forest that was causing trouble. .”
"Poison miasma?" Song Siyuan's eyes widened, and more curiosity emerged on her face.
Xu Xiake nodded to everyone and continued to introduce the origin of Miasma Technique!
There are thousands of tropical plants in Lingnan. In order to protect themselves, they will release toxic gases. If these poisonous gases are blown by the wind for a few days, they will dissipate by themselves. However, Lingnan is hot and humid and rainy, which means there is a lot of fog in the forest. When the miasma mixes with the fog, It will float on the treetops in the forest. Once a person walks into it, as long as he inhales the smoke and miasma, he will be entangled in various miasma and die.
The first Taoist priest who discovered this poisonous miasma was a chicken-footed Taoist who liked to use the art of deceiving others. He was unattractive in appearance and short in stature, like a half-grown dwarf. He stood up and reached the tree. Half of his body, the miasma mostly floated over the wild forest. Because he was not tall enough, he was not poisoned to death.
From this, the chicken-footed Taoist discovered the mystery of the miasma, and named the poisonous mist the poison of the miasma. Later, he used the poison of the miasma to prepare many poison pills, and relied on the aroma of the poison pills to activate the miasma technique. He calls himself a Golden Flower Taoist, establishes the Golden Flower Tao, recruits many disciples, and teaches them how to create the illusion of miasma.
At the beginning, these golden flower practitioners just used the miasma to pretend to be gods and ghosts under the banner of Taoism, and collected some offerings and incense donations from believers. Until they found that juggling and acrobatics could confuse the people more and deceive people for money, they began to use the miasma to trick people. Combining the art of victory with magic, and then using miasma technology to coordinate with magic, you can accomplish many things that magicians cannot do.
Ordinary tricks are just tricks by the magician to deceive the audience. This kind of trick with poisonous miasma can indeed deceive both themselves and the audience. They must have enough obsession to let the people in the market see the illusion that is as real as it is illusory. The disciples are the most At its peak, there were thousands of people, and they were like a martial arts sect. Their specialties include real dragon levitation, Buddha's appearance, Rakshasa Hell, and Golden Palace and Jade Palace. What's more, they can even allow people to see their dead relatives again.
Just like the ghost tower we saw today, no matter how real it is, it does not exist in the human world. It is just an illusion that emerges after the human brain absorbs the poisonous miasma. People interact with this illusion only because they are exposed to the poisonous miasma in the brain. Once the incense is pulled out or the brain is stimulated with a strong smell, the hallucination disappears.
They relied on this kind of deception to become popular in Lingnan, and many people in the world defected to them. Jinhua Tao became a dirty sect. Because they caused dozens of murders, everyone in the world knew that Jinhua Tao had become a crooked sect. Their Their actions were also noticed by the orthodox Lingnan Taoists. For the orthodox Taoists, these people who did bad things under the guise of the Taoism were "monsters", and naturally everyone would punish them.
After fighting against thieves several times, these people no longer dared to use the banner of Taoism. From then on, they used the Golden Flower Sect to act in the world, in an attempt to avoid the attack of the orthodox Taoist party on them.
At that time, there were too many folk gangs such as the Shenquan Men, Hongdengzhao, Baihuahui, and Dengyingying. They all claimed to have special skills. The boxers were even summoned by the old queen. The people in the Jianghu were real and fake. The former dynasty The government was also on the verge of collapse and had no time to take care of these Jianghu sects, so they did not take action against the Golden Flower Sect.
The reason we attacked them was entirely because these people had committed a taboo!
Seeing that there was a lot of placer gold in Lingnan, these people from Jinhuamen used magic tricks as a guise to make the surrounding area extremely evil, causing the people to see strange ghosts in the breeze from afar, in order to cover up their theft of gold from the river. Little did they know that the government had already noticed it. Within half a year, they were all wiped out, and the remaining troops fled with their casualties and injuries, and there was no possibility of gathering together to become a force.
Yue Qingshan was obviously shocked after hearing his introduction to the origin of the Golden Flower Gate:
"Hunter, since you know that Kong Deshun is from Jinhuamen, why didn't you tell us earlier so that we could be on guard so that we wouldn't be in such a mess now, being so confused that we didn't even see anyone? It's not shameful. ?"
