Good Kill (cow slaughter stunt)

Many people in Wuyuan make a living by slaughtering cattle. Some people can poison cattle to death with medicine, but they think that the time-consuming and labor-intensive death of cattle takes a long time, so they invented another medicine.A three-inch-long iron nail is soaked in a kind of concoction, and then nailed into the flesh of the beef rib. In less than a day, the cow will die, and then it will be slaughtered and stripped.The slaughtered beef does not carry diseases and diseases, and it is harmless to people who eat it. It is called good slaughter, and the reward for slaughtering is very high.This slaughter method has been popular among butchers in rural Poyang for decades.Among them was a man named Jiang Liusan who lived in a village fifteen miles east of the city and learned this technique of slaughtering cattle.Several nearby farmers had cattle that were asymptomatic but died suddenly.Everyone is afraid that their own cattle will die suddenly, so every family in the village asks Jiang Liusan to slaughter and peel the beef and sell it.Although they lived in the same village, no one knew that it was Jiang Liusan who was behind the scenes.On December [-]th, the fifth year of Shaoxing, Jiang Liusan went out on business and did not come home until dusk. His wife went to the homes of relatives and friends who usually visited him, but they all said they hadn't seen him.In the afternoon of the next day, the wife saw a group of crows singing by the sewage pool hundreds of feet away from home. When she walked to the pool, she saw that her husband had drowned in the water, and the water in this pool was only about a foot deep.Before entering the coffin, he found two iron nails inserted into the waist of the corpse, and then he knew that Jiang Liusan had cheated for a long time by poisoning the cattle.Whether his death was killed by a ghost or a human is unknown.

Great Poison and Great Kindness (Alchemy)

My cousin Li Shansheng once made cinnabar into a elixir together with several contemporaries.After more than a year, he put the washed sand back into the tripod, and accidentally left a piece.His apprentice was about to rub it into pills and swallowed it, so he passed out immediately and died overnight.Cinnabar is such a good medicine that even newborn babies can take it.But because it has been tempered with fire, it can kill people.According to the relative rules of change, since it can be turned into a great poison, shouldn't it be turned into a great good?Since it can be turned into killing, there should be a reason to save people, it's just that this technology has not been obtained.So it can be seen that there is no prescription for immortality, but it cannot be ignored!

When I was a prosecutor in the middle school, I once read a memorial from Leizhou, which mentioned that someone was cursed to death by the villagers.The situation is that the local villagers can use cooked food to curse, as long as the mantra is chanted, the chopped and cooked meat will be restored to a complete piece of meat after a while; if the mantra is repeated, the cooked meat will become raw meat; If you chant the mantra again, the raw meat will move, and then make it alive again, so that the beef will become a living cow, and the mutton will become a sheep, but the body is very small; It becomes cooked food again. If someone eats this kind of meat, they will feel wriggling in their abdomen, so they have to use gold, silver, silk and silk to solve the problem. will overflow from the rift.Later, the person who chanted the mantra was arrested and brought to justice.

The color of salt turns red (White Salt Repelling Monsters)

Excerpted from Suiyuan old man's "Xin Qi Xie" section "Darkness Fears Salt": "Wang Xianrong of Zhucheng said that there are many deserted wildernesses in the Yinjiazhuang of the city, and weeds are overgrown. It is just a cloud of black air with a height of about ten feet. It emerges every night and hides during the day. When it comes out, if it encounters people walking on the road, it will immediately make a whistling sound, which is like a thunderbolt, which is frightening. .Xiao Bi, people were blocked by black air, the air was extremely foul, and people fainted. The villagers warned each other, in order to prevent accidents, not to go through open fields. Therefore, no one walked after dusk. There was a salt seller who forgot to drink. He warned that when he strayed into the place at night, a monster suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his way. The salt seller used a wooden pole to beat the monster, but the monster was unharmed. The salt seller was so frightened that he didn't know what to do. Salt was sprinkled on the monster, but the monster gradually disappeared and retreated into the ground, so he took all the salt in the basket and dumped it at the place where the monster fell into the ground, and then ran back home. At dawn the next day, he went to the open field to check, and saw that the monster he had abandoned The ground where the salt was piled up was all red, and there were blood spots beside it, and it smelled bad, and since then, this monster has disappeared.” I think that salt and rice can drive away evil spirits, and people still use it today.

See through organs (defeating enemy stunts)

There is an archer in Dingyuan County, Haozhou, who is especially good at fighting with spears. People from far and near admire him.There was a thief who was also good at using spears, and he always looked down on the court officers and soldiers. He was as good as this archer.He swore: "If I meet that archer, I will fight him to the death."

One day, the archer came to the village on business, and the thief happened to be drinking there too.A fierce fight between the two is inevitable.Then the two sides took up their spears and began to duel, surrounded by spectators like a wall in the center.After fighting for a long time, there is still no winner.The archer suddenly said to the thief: "The captain is here, you and I are both men, do you dare to fight with me in front of his horse?" The thief just said: "OK." In the past, stabbed the burglar dead in one blow.This is to take advantage of it!
And one more thing: Someone met a robber, and with a spear he fought the robber.When the sword and spear just touched each other, the robber sprayed it with the water he had previously contained in his mouth. Just when the man was very surprised, the robber's knife had already cut into his chest.Later, another strong man met the robber, and the strong man already knew the robber's trick of spraying water.As soon as the robber's water spouted out, the strong man's spear pierced his throat, and the robber fell down dead.His mechanism has been leaked, and he still wants to use it to win without taking precautions, but in the end he suffers from it.

Burning sheep with moxa fire (divination technique of Rong people)

The Rong people in the northwest use sheep for divination, which is called "Bajiao", and the wizard is called "Siji". They burn the hip bones of sheep with moxa fire and observe its cracks, which is called "Shibajiao".This method is: the upper part of the crack is the god, the place close to the spine is the seat, the seat is the main seat, and the place near the side is the guest seat.According to the customs of the Rong people, there is often a room in the center of the main room of the living room, which is used to worship ghosts and gods. People dare not live in it, so it is called a god, and the owner sits next to it.Use this method to calculate the outcome of the host and guest.There is also a spell on the grain first, and the sheep are fed with the spelled grain, and the sheep will shake their head automatically after eating the grain, so they kill the sheep and observe its internal organs, which is called "shengbajiao".The words of divination are very effective, and trivial things can be said.Scholars are especially amazed by "Shengba Jiao".

Dancing Zhong Kui (Astronomical Calculation Secret Method)

During the Qingli period, there was a warlock surnamed Li who had a very ingenious idea. He once carved a dancing Zhong Kui out of wood, two or three feet high, holding an iron ruler in his right hand, and a fragrant bait in his left hand.When the mouse came to eat the fragrant bait, the puppet would catch the mouse with its left hand and beat the mouse to death with an iron plate with its right hand.A magician surnamed Li dedicated it to King Jing, who adopted him as his disciple.

It just so happened that Tai Shi said that there would be a lunar eclipse at dusk, and the magician surnamed Li claimed: "I have a way to get rid of this lunar eclipse." King Jing asked him to try, and there was no lunar eclipse that night.King Jing was very surprised, and reported to the emperor that day, and the emperor asked his servants to inquire about his situation.Li Shushi said: "I was proficient in calendars, and I knew that the eclipse limit in the "Chongtian Calendar" was too wide and inaccurate. This lunar eclipse should occur below the horizon. Because I was born in a humble background, I couldn't recommend myself, so I used a delicate thing to present it at first." For the king of Jing, and now he is praying to avoid the lunar eclipse to attract the attention of the court." So the emperor ordered Li Warlock to be sent to Sitianjian for inspection.

Li Warlock and Sitian Supervisor Chu Yan calculated the time of the solar and lunar eclipses together, and increased the eclipse limit by two quarters, so Li Warlock became a student of Sitian.One morning in the seventh month of the first year of Xining, a solar eclipse appeared in the east, which was inconsistent with the calculation. The fault was that the angle of the eclipse limit was too large, and all calendar officials were demoted for this.The emperor ordered Zhou Cong, the supervisor, to revise the calendar again, and he subtracted the two moments added during the Qingli period, intending to barely calculate the solar eclipse in the first year of Xining, but the lunar eclipse during the Qingli period could not be calculated.Therefore, there have been many discussions for a long time, and there is still no suitable algorithm, so the "Morrow Calendar" was abolished, and the "Chongtian Calendar" was adopted.It wasn't until the fifth year of Xining, when Wei Pu made the "Fengtian Calendar", that he realized that the past almanacs only used the average speed of the sun's movement when calculating solar and lunar eclipses, so when the sun moved faster, it was too much. When it is slower, it cannot be reached. Both "Chongtian Calendar" and "Tomorrow Calendar" did not find the reason for the calculation deviation in the addition and subtraction of the eclipse limit, and it was not until Wei Pu that this error was deduced.

Three longitudes and three latitudes (bow and crossbow magic shooting technique)
When I was in Haizhou a few years ago, a family dug the ground and got a ballista. The watch mountain of the ballista is very long, and there are small marks beside the watch mountain, which have scales like a ruler.It is speculated that its purpose is to use the scale of Wangshan to mark the high and low of the arrow when aiming at the arrow with the eyes.This happens to use the principle of Pythagorean strings used by arithmeticians. "Taijia" records: "When archery, when the scale on the tail of the arrow matches, the arrow will be released." This may be the speed mentioned in the book.Liu Chong, King Chen of the Later Han Dynasty, was very good at crossbow shooting. He could hit ten shots out of ten, and his arrows were all on the bull's-eye.His method is: "The sky is overwhelmed, the three consecutive are strange, the three small and the three small. The three small are the warp, and the three small are the weft, and they must be in the machine teeth." These few sentences are cryptic and difficult to understand. "Overwhelming heaven and earth" refers to the posture of holding a bow when launching. "Three in a row is strange" means to align the scale with the arrow and at the same time, align the arrow with the target. "Three consecutive strings are like a balance", this happens to use the principle of Pythagorean strings to determine the height. "Three longitudes and three latitudes" refer to the three vertical lines and three horizontal lines on the archery target. Their function is to mark the positions of up, down, left, and right. Even if I shoot ten arrows, I can still hit seven or eight arrows. If the scale is engraved on the crossbow, the accuracy rate must be even higher.

Rhinos are like oxen.Pig head, big belly, three-toed feet, black color, delicious spicy food.Its skin grows three hairs per hole.Items produce one corner, some say two corners or three corners."Erya" written by Guo Pu records: "The rhinoceros triangle, one on the neck, one on the forehead, and one on the nose, are edible horns, small but not sui. There are also horns." "Ling Biao Lu" The record is different, saying: "The rhinoceros has two horns, one on the forehead is the peak rhinoceros, and the other is the cap rhinoceros on the nose." In fact, the male rhinoceros also has two horns, both of which are woolly rhinoceros. A corner of the story.

There are many types of rhino horns.The largest one is called Luo Luoxi, which weighs seven or eight catties. It is said that it is the forehead horn of a male rhinoceros. Its pattern is like bean-sprinkled spots.Rhino horns obtained from hunting are called raw rhinoceros; rhinoceros horns that shed naturally are called retreating rhinoceros.It is said that the way to kill rhinos is: First, plant more wooden piles on the road where rhinos often come and go, just like making a pig and sheep stack. Because rhinos have straight front feet, they often rest on trees.After a long time, the wooden stake will be corroded or decayed. If the rhinoceros suddenly leans on it, the tree will break and the rhinoceros will fall down, and the person will kill it and take its horn.It is also said that every time a rhinoceros molts its horn, it must be buried in soil. Hainanese find the place where the rhino horn is buried, take out the horn, replace it with a wooden horn, and bury it as usual. Find its trace.There is also a rhinoceros called ocher yellow rhinoceros, which is transparent inside and out, as clear as real gold, and is the most precious rhino horn.It is also said that there are two kinds of rhinoceros, one is called mountain rhinoceros and the other is called water rhinoceros. Water rhinoceros is relatively rare. It is said in "Wu Gu Ji": "Mountain rhinoceros eat bamboo and wood, and urinate endlessly. Yi Liao It is taken with a bow and arrow, so it is called Qianxi."

Rhino horn is cold in nature and can detoxify all kinds of poisons.The author has a friend named Zhang Shenzhi, who suffers from heat in the heart, dry mouth and lips, and all medicines are ineffective.A doctor taught him to take it with rhino horn powder, and he drank two bowls of it as the doctor told him, and the disease was cured immediately.There is a craftsman in Shuangliu County, Chengdu, who can use ox horns to imitate Tongtian rhinoceros horns, but because the artificial depiction is too realistic, it is easy to be recognized by people.Therefore, the color and texture of rhino horn cannot be imitated.People say that the lowest grade of rhinoceros horn is the ghost rhinoceros, because it is the horn of a dead rhinoceros, and its patterns and colors are all overshadowed.

"The Chronicle of the Eunuch"

Three-inch Iron Hook (Elephant Taming)

In the area south of Wuling, local people can tame elephants.First drive a tamed female elephant into the cave, put some sugar cane along the way outside the cave, when the wild elephants come to eat sugar cane, let the female tame elephant enter the wild elephant group, call the female tamed elephant into the cave, lure the wild elephant into the cave, and then Block the hole with boulders.The wild elephants were very hungry, so the mahouts climbed the rock wall and only fed the female elephants. When the wild elephants saw that the females were getting food, they were very scared at first, and slowly approached the female elephants to beg for food. Then they whipped the wild elephants with wooden sticks.Repeat this to make the elephant gradually tame, and after a while, ride on the back of the elephant for training.The mahout is straddling his neck, holding an iron hook to hook the head: if you want the elephant to go left, hook the head to the right; if you want to go right, hook the left; if you want to retreat, hook the forehead; if you want to go in, don’t hook; if you want the elephant to kneel He pressed his forehead with a hook, and when he pressed it again and again, he screamed in pain.During elephant taming performances, people saw that the group of elephants lined up neatly, advancing and retreating from left to right, obeying instructions very well, but they didn't know that it was caused by the use of iron hooks; they saw the elephants howling as promised, but they didn't know that the sound was caused by the pain caused by the iron hook pressing on the brain. .Although the elephant is huge, it is very afraid of pain, so the mahout can tame it with an iron hook several inches long.Over time, elephants can also understand people's ideas. When they see a rider coming, they will bow their heads and kneel, and when people climb their necks, they will stand up and walk.

The elephant's head cannot be bowed, the neck cannot be turned back, the mouth is hidden under the cheeks, and it is high from the ground, and food and drink are all exercised with one nose.The nose is deep and can be opened and closed, and there are small meat clips in it, even things as small as mustard seeds can be picked up with the nose.Before eating, the elephant first uses its claws to knock down the dirt, and then rolls it into its mouth with its nose. Drinking water is also sucked through its nose and sprayed into its mouth.The elephant's feet are like pillars, with claws and no fingers.Climbing high mountains, descending steep slopes, and crossing deep waters are cumbersome but agile.The locals called to drive away the elephants, as if they could talk to the elephants.

Elephants have small eyes and are afraid of fire.Wherever elephants go, crops are damaged.When the villagers cook new beans, the stove emits a bean aroma. Wild elephants smell the aroma and eat it with their noses. This is a serious problem for people.In a hurry, people were hurt by it and couldn't control it, so they drove away with long bamboo torches before retreating.Elephants can harm people. Although there are many elephants, it is not scary. In fact, the most terrifying thing is a single elephant.Because the only elephant doesn't fit in with the group, walks alone, has no fear, and will poison people when it meets people. It rolls up people with its nose and throws them to death, and then tramples people with its feet, causing people to bleed. Blood.

People kill an elephant, and everyone can feast on its meat.The best thing to eat is nose meat, which is boiled and sliced ​​into distiller's grains to rot. It is one of the most delicious foods.Elephant skin can be made into armor, which is very strong.The elephant skin is cut into strips and dried to make sticks or whips, which are tough and unbreakable.

The owner wondered how this poor horse could sell so well. I felt embarrassed that I had too much money, so a lot of onlookers gathered.Someone asked: "Why is Sir willing to pay a high price for this horse?" You Qing replied: "This horse has an extraordinary complexion, well-proportioned body and bones, and a shiny coat. The owner of the horse does not know the good and the bad, and compares it with other horses. Common horses that can't run fast are mixed together, presumably because the stables are leaky, the troughs are collapsed, the manure is messy, the stench is overflowing, and the washing is not timely, the forage is not suitable, the hooves are trampling, and the teeth are biting, resulting in depression. For a long time, he has nothing to rely on, he is restless, and then he becomes sexual, and he will do everything." Xiaoqing bought a new pair of reins and harness, and spoke softly to the horse, as if talking to himself: "Horse , Your character and talent are unknown, I will put on a new rein for you, and throw away all these dirty and hard things." The horse nodded and shook itself, and the young Qing Zhima knew what it meant, so Take them home, condition them personally, bathe, cut and brush the horses, set up a new trough, and feed them with concentrated feed.A few days later, the horse's demeanor changed slightly, and after a month, it became quite different. A rare horse in the world.

Therefore, collectors often raise small apes and choose people who are considerate. The small cloth bag is tied to the ape’s back, let it climb trees and rocks, jump up and down, peel off the bird’s nest, and stuff it in the bag. The ape usually takes three to five days to return after collecting the bird’s nest. The clumsy ape went out and took a few pieces of bird's nest and stuffed them in the bag. When he came back, he dumped the bag and saw that there were very few bird's nests, and the bag was full of fruit bait.
