Although it is called ventriloquism, the speaker is actually still using his vocal cords and throat, but his face and tongue no longer have any changes, and it looks as if he is not speaking.
This kind of ventriloquism has been passed down and learned by craftsmen from ancient times to the present. The most powerful masters can use ventriloquism to pretend that six people are talking at the same time without knowing it. Even if they are close to his body, they cannot tell what the sound is. True or false, it is mostly used in string shows, puppet shows, and ventriloquism teahouses.
The performers often pick up silk threads to pull the puppets, or put their hands into half of the puppets. They do not move their mouths in front of the audience, but they can make sounds that match the puppets. If there is another dialogue, it will be even more obvious that the puppets can speak. Neng Yu is a living creature.
In the final analysis, it is just the puppeteers who make the puppets talk, not the puppets that can actually speak. To the spectators, some master masters have practiced ventriloquism to such perfection that even if they are close, it is difficult to detect the master's strangeness. These puppets He speaks like a river and seems like a living thing, and he will naturally win the favor of the whole house.
During the previous dynasty, there were some masters in Beijing who had mastered ventriloquism. As long as there is a barrier, you can use a table, a chair, and a foot to simulate couples talking nonsense, children crying, quarreling and sleeping, rustling utensils, thousands of troops, and fire rescues, scaring the guests to the point where they want to leave first. , when the screen was removed, there was only an old gentleman sitting there and nothing else.
To put it bluntly, these are just the skills of martial artists. Of course there are such strange people in the shadow of the lamp. If one uses ventriloquism to imitate the wails of ghosts and gods, this is a simple matter.
"In the past, Deng Yingying waited at the green camp soldiers' crossing, used ventriloquism to pretend to be ghosts and gods, and cried at night. As long as he released the green phosphorus will-o'-the-wisp fire, he could scare these soldiers and scare them away, making these soldiers dare not take even a step. These are just old tricks." Mrs. Hu seemed to understand the strangeness, and continued to ask: "Then, what's going on with this dead mouse?" Tian Liumei continued to explain: "This dead mouse is also a trick. If these things are indeed dead rats, but they are just a piece of skin, and the thing stuffed inside is smelly meat filled with wax, and the rat hair is also added with junco and white phosphorus from Huozhezi, at least over time , this piece of rat skin will emit black smoke due to the spontaneous combustion of white phosphorus, and as the wax oil melts, the smell of rotten meat will come out."
"But how did they do it? Did they know that the rat skin would burn when they did it?" Jin Dou scratched his head, looking curious.
Tian Liumei continued: "Brother, since this chicken-foot deception has been put on the plaque on the door of the mansion, we have basically thought of various escape routes. If the rat corpses are burned before they come, Hu Mansion's People will definitely ask sir what's going on, and at this time, these chicken-footed Taoists will come out and say strange things, saying that there are monsters in the house and so on."
"But, if they haven't burned it after doing it, they can still make things right." The old Taoist would first pretend to be a ghost and count his fingers, saying that there was movement behind the plaque. When the people in the mansion took out the rat corpse, he only needed to pick it up and spray it with white phosphorus. The talisman can create the illusion that the rat corpse is burning with the talisman attached. In this way, it will appear that the old Taoist priest has great magical powers and can actually set fire out of thin air.
After that, the old Taoist will say something. He has killed the evil spirit on the rat corpse. As the stench wafts out, it means that the trick has been completely completed.
All in all, these chicken-footed Taoists can deceive people by observing words, understanding human nature, and being familiar with people's hearts. They know very well what the gentry, landlords, merchants, and common people need. The most terrifying things for people are exaggerated at the same time. Most people are afraid of strange powers and chaos, so they believe their words.
Of course, this kind of deception is not something you can do if you want to do it. At least, the physical deception requires the things to be delivered to the place. The appearance of a mouse on the Hu family's plaque at least means that the mansion has been targeted for a long time. There are many Taoist priests with chicken feet. The method is to hang the rat corpse behind the plaque without anyone noticing.
Hu Jindou asked again: "But how do they know that we will listen to their words? What if some people believe these words but just ignore them?" Tian Liumei waved her hand: "Brother, since Jiji Taoist can There must be some back-up for putting on a show. If some people believe their lies and don't take any action, these chicken-footed Taoists will cause even greater trouble until the master can no longer sit still." Chicken-footed Taoists. Taoists are good at physical deception, which means they have countless bad ideas to make money and harm people. If one plan fails, they will try another. If there is really a master who doesn't have money and salt, it means that they don't believe in ghosts and gods at all. If they don't get it, they can only consider themselves unlucky and find a new home.
There are tens of millions of bankers in the world, don’t they all believe in ghosts and gods? Whenever these chicken-footed Taoists choose certain families, they must have some purpose, whether they are seeking wealth, seeking things, or harming others. If you are chosen by them, you will definitely not be a poor person, because it is meaningless for you to embarrass the poor. Those with feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes. At worst, if a man is angry and his feet are covered with blood, you will not be able to extract any profit or water, and no one will engage in such loss-making business.
Only wealthy households, gentry and landlords, who have a lot of wealth and have done many bad things, are the main victims of their plans and tightening of their conspiracy.
In other words, although being targeted by a Taoist with chicken feet may not cause any serious harm, the daily occurrence of dead rat and cat corpses and blood leaking from the door of the house can definitely send someone to death.
What the mansion gate seeks is not only the safety of the family, but also the safety of the property. Such unlucky things are a sign of prodigality. If not dealt with properly, it is easy for people to have a knot in their hearts. From then on, whenever something goes wrong, they will I can imagine that it was the lack of respect for God that caused the disaster.
Even if some people really see that something is wrong with Taoist Jijiji, most of them spend money to eliminate disasters and solve the problem with money. What they want is psychological comfort. The common people worship gods and ghosts. The purpose is not to cause any harm now, but to prevent future worries. It is nothing more than hoping for a safe and smooth future, a peaceful home, and good health for all ages.
"Damn it, you still dare to cause trouble. Why don't you just report it to the official and arrest these people." Miss Shu stood outside the door and walked in at some point. After hearing these words, she was inevitably angry.
Tian Liumei continued: "Don't dare to do this. Thieves are most afraid of seeing officials, and liars are most afraid of going to the government. These people who cheat and get things will not be able to come back once they go to the government. The rest will follow the master." The families are fighting to the death, and if the Hu family becomes enemies with Jiji Taoist, they will be hated forever from now on."
"What should we do? Is it possible that we really let them go?" Mrs. Hu also felt that it was not appropriate to let these people go. Although the Hu family was not harmed, it could not guarantee that others would not be harmed. It is best to eliminate harm for the people. .
