Chapter 7 6. The "Jafei Technique" of pretending to be a ghost

When I first entered the industry, I often thought about a question, why did my grandfather recruit me?I'm ugly and stupid, with my grandfather's IQ and eyesight, I can't help but know.What did grandpa think? As a newcomer, I have a lot of knowledge to learn, and I don't have much time to think about things that have nothing to do with cheating.So, every time I lost my mind, Erbatou would slap me hard from the back of the head. "Repeat what I just said!" Erbatou said to me viciously. I rubbed my head, bewildered.In fact, Erbatou was explaining the knowledge about "Zafei" that day.Erbatou is a master of Zhafei in Tangkou, deeply loved by his grandfather, and he has always been proud of the many Zhafei situations he has done. As his younger brother, he lost his mind when he was teaching. Great insult.

In fact, I have heard him play those things many times in private. I am not as good at pretending as the other little feet. They can always stare innocently and listen to Erbatou tell the stories that have been repeated many times. In my impression, the most amazing zhafei game was the second year after I entered the industry, Erbatou followed the arrangement of my grandfather to do a big rich man's game. In the thirty-eighth year of the Republic of China, on the eve of liberation, something happened to Mr. Zhang's family in Linzhen. Mr. Zhang's son suffered from lovesickness, he would not eat or drink, and he was skinny and boneless.Zhang Siye is a descendant of the Bannerman. After the Revolution of 1911, his power gradually weakened, but a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and it is still a piece of fat.

The cause of the incident was as follows: Fourth Master Zhang's son went to prostitutes in Nanliu Lane, but he met a girl named Chuntao and fell in love with her.As a result, Mr. Zhang missed him day and night, did not eat or drink, and within a few days his eyes were sunken, and only a handful of bones remained. The grandfather took the opportunity to find an informant and told Fourth Master Zhang that this was actually a vixen haunting him, and he would do magic tricks to drive away the demons, and the lovesickness would naturally heal. Fourth Master Zhang didn’t believe it at first, but within a few days, one night, Fourth Master Zhang was wandering around the courtyard after dinner, when he suddenly saw a black shadow jumping in front of him, before he realized what was going on, another black shadow Jumping past, two black shadows climbed directly onto the top of the wall one after the other, and ran along the top of the wall to the backyard. The weeds on the top of the wall were swished, and now Fourth Master Zhang saw clearly that it was the mountain. fox.For the next few days, Fourth Master Zhang and his family would see mountain foxes haunting the courtyard every night. His heart became more and more beating, and after being persuaded by an informant, he finally asked his grandfather for help.Therefore, the grandfather arranged Erbatou to be a dojo.

The ashram was very large, with a big incense table, and a dozen or so Abao pretended to be Taoist priests, chanting mantras and walking back and forth.Erbatou himself was covered with a white cloth, and he was gesticulating in the air with a mahogany sword.In the middle of the night, paper money was flying all over the sky accompanied by smoke, and Erba looked like he was going crazy, circling around the yard, chopping horizontally and vertically with the sword in his hand, suddenly blood started to come out from his forehead, and the bright red blood stained the white cloth on his forehead , and drip down the bridge of the nose.Everyone in the audience was terrified.

After Erbatou finished his work, he looked very tired. Zhang Siye asked in horror, "Master, why are you bleeding?" Er Batou said: "This fox is too powerful. When I was fighting with it just now, it jumped up on top of my head and bit me. It's all right now. I've killed it. You can look for its body." Everyone searched around the yard for a long time, but couldn't find it.Erbatou said: "No rush, we won't run far." Then everyone went back. The next day, just after dawn, there was a scream from Mr. Zhang's room. Mr. Zhang and his family hurried over, only to see a bloody fox lying on Mr. Zhang's bed.Zhang Siye asked what happened?Mr. Zhang said tremblingly: "I woke up in the morning to take a urinate, and felt that there was something in the bed, so I opened it to have a look..."

Fourth Master Zhang pondered for a while, nodded, and smiled knowingly.Because of this scare, Mr. Zhang became sober up a lot and felt hungry, so he started to eat. After a few days, his complexion rejuvenated and he became healthy again. Later, Zhang Siye specially prepared dozens of square ingots and several bolts of high-quality silk and satin to thank his grandfather and Erbatou, saying: "Masters are really profound in Taoism and save the common people." In fact, this is a scam from beginning to end.At first, Fourth Master Zhang didn't believe it, so his grandfather ordered Erbatou to ask someone to go to the back mountain to catch a few mountain foxes, and put one into Fourth Master Zhang's gutter every now and then, until the other party was convinced that there was a "fox spirit" ", and sent Erbatou to practice on the spot.The blood on the forehead is actually dog ​​blood. The cloth around the forehead is multi-layered, with thick blood bubbles sewn in the middle. The blood bubbles are the pigs’ urine bubbles (bladders) that were taken out to dry after the pig was killed. , Then divide it into several sections, pour dog blood into it, tie it up with a thin thread, and finally sew these blood bubbles in the interlayer of white cloth.When Erbatou performed the method, he covered his head with a white cloth, and when people were not paying attention, he knocked his forehead fiercely, and the blood blisters burst and the blood flowed out.In the chaos, taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, the little feet arranged in advance sneaked into Mr. Zhang's room, blew on some ecstasy powder, and stuffed the killed fox into his bed.

This method is called "Zhafei" in jargon, which means pretending to be a ghost. The grandfather often said: "All "one" can be stabbed into the air. Gentlemen respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them. Villains fear ghosts and gods and attract them. If there is nothing to be afraid of, then there is something to ask. It means that all real gentlemen have no ghosts in their hearts, are open and frank, and are not afraid of ghosts and gods. Those who are afraid of ghosts or pray to ghosts and gods are either because they have done something wrong, or they are asking ghosts and gods. he. There are many methods of "Zhafei", such as painting ghosts with cinnabar, entrusting offerings to gods, etc., all of which are actually props.

The "Avatamsaka Sutra" says: "All the evil karma created in the past are all caused by greed, anger, and ignorance without beginning." Weaknesses of human nature: greed, anger, and ignorance.On closer inspection, almost all disasters stem from these three weaknesses. Greed is greed.Greedy for money, greedy for sex, greedy for fame, greedy for status, insane and daring to do anything in order to achieve the goal of greed.Corrupt officials, robbers, thieves, gamblers, perverts, profiteers, literary thieves, including Po, are all the same. These people often end up miserable.

Anger means to be angry and angry. Once you commit an offense, you will be so angry that you can't control yourself at all. None of the death-row inmates who killed someone because of a moment of anger did not regret it.Another meaning of anger is jealousy. If you are jealous for a lifetime, no matter how good your friends are, they will stumbling each other. Infatuation is infatuation.People who fall in love are like being intoxicated with ecstasy soup, lost their souls, and their whole being is hollowed out by emotions. In the end, some die in depression, some turn love into hatred, or kill each other, or both die in love.

Once a person exposes these three weaknesses, Baos will have a chance to attack.
