Chapter 22 Three, ghost general technique

In the evening, back at the entrance of the hall, grandfather held an emergency hall meeting to analyze the events of the day. The grandfather said: "This time, there is no danger in this game. It all depends on Fa Rong's adaptability. Brothers in the hall should think carefully and learn from it." Huang Farong was ice-snow smart, got up quickly and said, "It's all because of the good teachings of my grandfather on weekdays." Zhang Zizhan laughed on the sidelines. Grandpa had also heard of "Ghost General Technique", but he hadn't studied it carefully. Huang Farong suddenly said it was "Ghost General Technique" at the scene today, which still shocked Grandpa.

"Ghost generals" is witchcraft in some Southeast Asian countries, and it is divided into "little ghost generals" and "big ghost generals".The so-called: small ghosts control things, big ghosts control people.It is said that the "little ghost general" controls animals, and the "big ghost general" controls people. According to the records of "Miao Xiang Gu Art", "Ghost General Art" is a kind of Gu art.Gu art was born in China, and there was a saying in the Spring and Autumn Period: "If the grain accumulates for a long time, it will become flying Gu, which is called Gu".This "ghost general technique" was invented by the Miao voodoo Alei at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

During the reign of Chongzhen at the end of Ming Dynasty, King Li Chuang led an uprising, and the Miao people responded strongly. For a while, the phenomenon of "Hunan Miao officials belonged to King Chuang" appeared.In order to help King Li Chuang deal with the imperial army, Alei used the earth dragon on the snow-topped Tianshan Mountains as his host, and implanted the extremely fierce gadfly Gu into the earth dragon. After several months, he practiced "Ghost General Nether Gu". Gu insects can lurk in the bodies of humans and animals, absorb souls and control minds. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng fought a bloody battle at Ningwuguan.Alei spread this Gu in the drinking water of the government army. After the imperial army drank it, the whole army lost their minds and had no fighting power. King Li Chuang conquered Taiyuan in one fell swoop and embarked on the road to the east.

On March 19, Li Zicheng entered Zhengyang Gate in Beijing, Chongzhen hanged himself, and the Ming Dynasty fell.Li Zicheng gave rewards for his meritorious deeds, and Miss A Lei was proud of her meritorious deeds.Unexpectedly, Li Zicheng issued an order to kill A Lei. This is called "the rabbit dies and the dog cooks". When you are needed, you can shine. Now that the world has been settled, who would dare to put such a dangerous Gu God by his side? ? Huang Farong said: "Ingesting souls and controlling people's minds are all lies. The 'ghost general technique' is nothing more than the principle of combining yin and yang. Everything is divided into yin and yang, and Gu insects are no exception. First spread the positive Gu insects on the food. Or in water, the Gu worms are so small that they are invisible to the naked eye. After people or animals eat them, the Gu worms sneak into the body, multiply in large numbers, and enter the brain from the blood. Yang is active, and Yin is quiet. The positive Gu worms become restless, at this time, the Gu master puts another part of the negative Gu worms on the target object, and the positive Gu worms will become more restless when they smell the smell of the opposite sex, pulling people and animals towards the target object. Gu worms of the opposite sex rush to achieve the purpose of intercourse between yin and yang. Once a person or animal is subjected to the "ghost general technique", they can't help themselves and are at the mercy of others. Later, some Miaoxiang women gave themselves If the husband of the husband is bewitched, he can't keep his heart, but he wants to keep his people. This is the legend of the Miaoxiang banshee that appeared later in history.

"When I saw a group of hedgehogs rushing out, I found that they were not afraid of people at all, so I knew that they had been given the 'ghost general technique'. Back then, I accompanied my fifth grandmother (Qiao Wumei) to Hunan to visit a voodoo master. I have seen such "ghost generals" before. Some are used on hedgehogs, some are used on locusts, some are used on mice... After these animals are controlled, they become extremely hyperactive, and a clever Gu master can mobilize them. They do anything." What Huang Farong said is true. After Japan launched a full-scale war of aggression against China, Japanese military wizards collected "ghost general techniques" extensively in Southeast Asia. During the construction of the anti-Japanese lifeline "Burma Road" in 1938, the Japanese ground troops were unable to enter the rear of Yunnan to do damage, so they dropped bombs from the planes. In addition to conventional bombs, they also dropped a large number of bacterial bombs. The bacterial bombs contained a lot of Gu worms.After the explosion, the Gu insects scattered into the local forest. After some pangolins ingested the Gu insects, they were manipulated by Japanese wizards to attack the road under construction.These pangolins desperately drilled into the roadbed, making holes in the road.The Kuomintang authorities urgently mobilized local Gu masters to burn a large amount of wormwood at the construction site to drive these small animals away, ensuring the smooth completion of the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway.

Gu insects are most afraid of wormwood, which has been a good medicine for exorcism since ancient times.When the mugwort burns, it emits smoke, which enters the animal's body through the animal's respiratory tract, and the medicinal properties are released, penetrating the heart and spleen, and the Gu insects in the animal's body melt upon smelling it.Of course, this is for less powerful Gu masters and Gu worms. If you encounter a wizard with profound Taoism and cast a "big ghost general" on you, relying on wormwood alone is far from enough, and you must rely on some Buddhists The spell cleanses the mind of the victim.

After listening to Huang Farong's talk about the origin of "Ghost General Art", everyone was deeply impressed by the magic of Gu Art, so they talked about it. The grandfather fell into deep thought, who did the "little ghost general" to sneak into the coffin and make tricks to create the illusion that the coffin was full of black hair, and then used the "little ghost general" to destroy the wedding scene? While I was meditating, Xiaojiao came to report that a friend from Shanghai Post Office had come to visit.Grandfather took out his pocket watch and saw that it was midnight, so he must have something to do, so he hurriedly said, "Please hurry up! Wait for me in the study!"

The person who came was a deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper, surnamed Wu, named Junran, who was hired by the grandfather with a lot of money, and Wu Junran helped to make a big fuss about the newspaper. Wu Junran didn't say any polite words, and took out a piece of paper directly. "Grandfather, look!" Grandpa took a look and was surprised!It's a piece of news, the title is "Hypotheosis Marriage Falsely Exposed, Tie Buzi's Heirs Go to Maicheng", the content is roughly that the grandfather and the group have cheated for many years in the Jianghuai area. On the day of the burial, the Baixian came to break the situation. The coffin was bitten open and the bones were scattered all over the place.

"When is this news?" Grandpa asked Wu Junran. "It was supposed to be published tomorrow, but it was temporarily withdrawn before printing tonight. This matter was personally arranged by the president, and I didn't even know about it. The newspaper's rule is to prepare the next day's news the day before, and then print it overnight The editors of each forum are responsible for the collection and contribution of their own forums. The manuscripts that are temporarily withdrawn must be recycled and destroyed. Fortunately, there is someone from me at the recycling office who handed this manuscript to me. .I think there is something wrong here, so I came here specially to talk to Grandfather." Wu Junran said.

Grandpa sighed after hearing this: "It seems that this has been planned for a long time." Wu Junran said: "Have you planned it for a long time?" The grandfather said: "Today I gave someone a yin marriage. Indeed, a bunch of hedgehogs came to destroy the scene, but I resolved it. That's why this report was withdrawn. Who submitted this manuscript to the newspaper? Can you send it to the newspaper?" Has this person been found out?" Wu Junran said: "I asked, it is said that the president personally handed over the manuscript!" "Handed it in person?" Grandpa felt that the matter was getting more serious.

After the grandfather gave Wu Junran dozens of dollars, he whispered a few words in his ear, and Wu Junran quietly returned to the newspaper.
