Cultivation little Taoist

Chapter 729
Du Xianer's car was originally a pink sports car, which could only accommodate two people.

Perhaps considering that Zhang Lingxiu would not want to sit alone with her, Du Xian'er drove a pink stretched Lincoln this time, which accommodated everyone.

While in the car, Zhang Lingxiu held the sword and closed his eyes to rest, without saying a word.

Du Xian'er had always wanted to talk to Zhang Lingxiu, but seeing him like this, she had no choice but to swallow the words that came to her lips, and just looked at Zhang Lingxiu closely with admiration.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the car was a little awkward...

"Cough cough." Ye Feng coughed twice, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere: "That... Sister Xian'er... I want to ask, how do men inherit the way of beautification?

Will it be troublesome? "

Du Xian'er also simply replied: "It's not troublesome, and it will make you very comfortable."

"what?!"

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, "I would like to hear the details."

"Would you like to hear the flying? Whose flying do you want to hear?" Du Xian'er only focused on looking at Zhang Lingxiu, her mind didn't turn at all.

Ye Feng looked helpless, "Eldest sister, you can be regarded as a celestial master who is charming and pleasing after all. Is it appropriate to stare at him like a slut?"

"Do things first." Before Du Xian'er could reply, Zhang Lingxiu said coldly.

Du Xian'er's face was filled with surprise. This should be the first time Zhang Lingxiu had spoken to her on his own initiative since the two reunited.

Like a little girl, she stuck out her tongue and saluted crookedly, "Follow Brother Lingxiu's instructions!"

Then she looked at Ye Feng: "Who's Xiang did you say you wanted to smell?"

"..." Ye Feng was speechless for a while.

Eldest sister, you can hear Zhang Lingxiu farting clearly, but you didn't even listen to what I said for a long time!
He wasn't in the mood to argue with Du Xian'er about this, he just repeated his own question: "Why isn't it troublesome to inherit the way of beautification, and it makes me feel very comfortable?"

"Because the inheritance method is not the inheritance method of ordinary sects." Du Xian'er explained:
"Mei Dao, the unique skill of picking and nourishing, is actually composed of two parts.

One is flattery, and the other is nourishment.

To put it simply, flattery is a technique of seduction, but it is not a simple technique of seduction.

The skinny horses you saw at that time were simply training their posture and temperament. The deeper meaning of flattery is that it once originated from seeking the emperor's special favor, so flattery was popular in the court.

Ancient alchemists said, "women are sexually jealous". "Qian Jin Fang" records: "A woman's lust is more than her husband", "Loving love and hate, jealous and worrying about benefits, stained with solidity, and can't restrain herself."

Therefore, women in ancient times were mainly jealous of their husbands taking concubines, or her husband moved on, or she gave birth to a child.

Such women were called "jealous women" in feudal society. Of course, this title was extremely unfair to ancient women.

And "Mei Dao" is actually a technique used by "jealous women" to protest their husband's infidelity.

In that era when women's status was extremely low, this technique of flattery was also a means of resistance for ancient women.

So, you kid, you better be careful, if you flirt with women like this, be careful that Miss Xia will kill you with flattery. "

Ye Feng was listening with gusto, when Du Xian'er changed the topic, he put the gunfire on himself, which made him a little confused: "What's wrong with me?"

"You know what's wrong with you." Du Xian'er snorted and said, intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Xia Shihan and Pei Yan'er.

"..." Ye Feng was a little speechless, "Sister, please continue to talk, my personal situation is not as dirty as you think."

"Tch! My brother Lingxiu is better." Du Xian'er took the opportunity to grab Zhang Lingxiu's arm, and Zhang Lingxiu unexpectedly did not resist.

This made Du Xian'er feel even better, and the smile on her face couldn't be restrained.

Ye Fengxin said that your elder brother Lingxiu was so good that he didn't pay any attention to you, what's wrong?
But Ye Feng didn't say anything, and motioned Du Xian'er to continue.

"Actually, Meidao is a kind of witchcraft in the final analysis, which is to hope to use supernatural and mysterious power to obtain love.

This kind of art of love is not completely equivalent to the secret art of love of various ethnic groups in the folk.

The folk art of making love is mostly a simple courtship art, focusing on using love potions and spells to get the love of the other party, rather than harming others.

The way of beautification is not only mixed with various courtship techniques, but also mainly "cursing others, begging oneself to be charming."

That is to rely on witchcraft to curse others in order to obtain their own favor.This kind of witchcraft often appears in families with many wives and concubines, especially in the imperial palace.

In the Han Dynasty, Mei Daoqing spat on people's backs and cursed verbally. The cruel ones even cut off the limbs of babies to perform sorcery.Therefore, it was also witchcraft that was strictly banned and prohibited by the Han Dynasty.

Of course, since the development of Meidao, many vicious parts have been eliminated, and it is divided into Bai Meidao and Black Meidao, which are similar to the white witches and black witches mentioned by the Miao family. "

"The art of charming in the Han Dynasty..." Ye Feng thought for a while, then slapped his thigh: "I remembered, then the origin of charming is really early enough!

I remember that "Zhou Li·Tianguan Zhongzai" mentioned the job of internal slaughter: "Teach the nine emperors with the law of women's duties, so that each has its own attributes, and do two things, correct their obedience, prohibit their strange decline, and show their merits .”

Zheng Xuan's note said: "It's so vast, if it's flattering today."

That is to say, at least in the pre-Qin period, flattery was secretly popular in the court or among the people, and it was banned by full-time officials.

In the Han Dynasty, flattery was still strictly prohibited.

Jia Gongyanshu in "Zhou Li Zhu Shu": "Han law also has palace bans, and it is said that 'those who dare to flatter Taoism'" However, what the law prohibits is exactly what exists in society.

Although the historical materials of the Han Dynasty are much less than those of later generations, there are many cases of Meidao cases in official history alone.

Some clues can also be seen from these flattery cases.

First, simple flattery is not enough to get a crime. The reason why flatterers were severely punished in the Han Dynasty is that flattery is usually accompanied by cruel spells and the act of cursing others, even cursing the emperor.

The concubine's coquetry case was accompanied by varying degrees of cursing women and the emperor. Those who practice coquettish Taoism ranged from abolishing the empress to abandoning the market, and some family members' fathers and brothers were punished.

Second, flattery is a wonderful recipe for court struggles.It can also be said that flattery is a major feature of the imperial struggle.Moreover, due to the mystery of witchcraft itself, it is often difficult to get rid of the guilt once it is falsely accused of flattery. Therefore, flattery is a powerful tool in court struggles.

In fact, not only in the ancient times, but even in the middle ancient society of the Tang and Song Dynasties, flattery was still a panacea for court disputes.

A typical case is the case of Wu Zetian falsely accusing the king and queen of flattery.

Wu Zetian was a member of Emperor Taizong's palace, and Gaozong Zhaoyi was the descendant's palace. "Russia competes with the Empress and Emperor Liang for favor, and even destroys each other's shortcomings. But Zhaoyi is treacherous, that is, he falsely accuses the Empress and her mother of coercing and flattering Taoism, and the emperor believes it, so he decrees that the Empress and Emperor Liang are all common people, and they are imprisoned in the palace. The stepmother, brother, and Emperor Liang's clan all flow to south of the Five Ridges."

Later, Empress Wang and Xiao Liangdi died tragically at the hands of Wu Zetian.

However, in several cases of flattery in the Han Dynasty, it was only after discovering physical evidence that the perpetrators of flattery were convicted.

Third, flattery not only happened in the palace, but also in other families with many wives and concubines.

Official historians tend to focus on emperors and generals, and cases of ordinary families are rarely seen in the annals of history.

However, only from Chu Shaosun's supplementary note about Jiang Linghou Shizihui's wife doing flattery, we can also get a glimpse of the prevalence of this kind of witchcraft in society. "

"Hey, that's not bad." Du Xian'er's eyes flashed with approval, "You are indeed a bit of a kid, no wonder you are liked by so many girls."

"I'm just saying what I know." Ye Feng scratched his head, "But when I first heard about Mei Dao Caibu, I didn't think about the name of this special skill separately. Thinking about it this way, this Mei Dao Caibu The origin is really early enough.

Sister Xian'er, continue to talk, how should I use this enchanting technique? "

"The principle of Meidao witchcraft has two main aspects: one is the "law of similarity", that is, the principle of "like birth", which is called homeopathic witchcraft. For example, the Batak people in Sumatra, an infertile woman for If you want to be a mother, make a puppet baby and hold it on your lap, believing that this will make her wish come true.

One is the "law of contact", that is, once objects are in contact with each other, they will continue to sense each other at a long distance even after the physical contact is interrupted, which is called contact magic.

The magic of induction between a part of the human body, such as hair, nails, arms, legs, or human footprints, shadows, etc., is the most familiar example of the "law of contact".

Therefore, mesmerizing is a complex witchcraft, which combines the two major thinking principles of witchcraft, and combines various witchcraft methods to perform spells.

Moreover, this kind of witchcraft is not pure witchcraft. It is obviously combined with religion in terms of the concept of magic, such as the belief in ghosts and gods, because pure witchcraft does not require the intervention of any gods.

Mainly divided into the following ways:

The first is verbal cursing.

Verbal curses are the lesser of coquettish behaviors.

Its behaviors include spitting on people's backs, wishing and cursing, etc.

Li Ji during the Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty was once slandered by Princess Guantao for spitting on people's backs. "Historical Records A Family of Foreign Relatives" contained "The eldest princess was angry, but the Japanese slander Li Ji was shorter than Emperor Jing, saying: "Li Ji and all the relatives The noble lady Xing Jihui often makes the waiter wish to spit on her back, coercing and charming. "Emperor Jing hoped for it."

But because there is no real evidence that Li Ji was "slandered" for flattery, it was Princess Guantao's slander and slander, so Emperor Jing only "hoped" after hearing about it, and did not convict Li Ji.

Later, Emperor Jing wanted to entrust the sons of other concubines to Li Ji after a hundred years. "Historical Records: A Family of Foreign Relatives" records: "Emperor Jing felt uneasy and unhappy. He belonged to Li Ji and said: "One hundred years old After that, be kind to it. ""

Many cases of Meidao in the Han Dynasty clearly mentioned Zhucu.

Therefore, wishing and cursing is also a common method of enchanting Taoism.

Zhu, Duan Yucai's commentary on "Shuowen" says: "This uses three characters to understand the meaning, and it is called oral sex."

"Shangshu Wuyi" Kong Yingdashu: "Cursing and wishing means telling the gods to order more disasters. Telling the gods with words is called 'blessing', and asking the gods to add disasters is called 'cursing'." That is, through people who can communicate with the gods A wizard tells the gods what he wants, and may force the gods to achieve his goals.

Ban Jieyu was accused by Zhao Feiyan when she became emperor.

"Hanshu Foreign Relatives Biography" records: "Zhao Feiyan told Queen Xu and Ban Jieyu to flatter her, and wished and cursed the harem, and said to the Lord. When Emperor Cheng asked, Jieyu said to the Japanese: "The concubine heard that life and death are life, and wealth lies in sky. 'Correction has not yet been blessed, what hope is there for evil desires? To make ghosts and gods know, not to think of disobedience; if they are ignorant, what is the benefit of thinking? So don't do it. "

Empress Xu was abolished because physical evidence was found, while Ban Jieyu was falsely accused, but no evidence was found, so she was not convicted.

However, from what Ban Jieyu explained to herself, it can be seen that during the implementation of Meidao, there were indeed acts of praying to ghosts and gods, driving ghosts and gods to help her, and attacking others. "

"I'll go, spitting is considered flattering?" Ye Feng said in a daze.

"This is just the lightest form of flattery. As you said, although it was banned in the Han Dynasty, they all turned a blind eye to this kind of lightweight flattery. Only those who found physical evidence were convicted. The methods that come down basically rely on real objects to release them." Du Xian'er said.

Ye Feng nodded, "Go ahead."
