The Pentium Era - South to North

Someone walked up with ten and twenty yuan banknotes, threaded the money on the wire, and then handed a piece of yellow paper in his hand to the young man. On the yellow paper, he wrote what he wanted to pray to the grandfather.

The young man bit the wire with his teeth. One end of the wire had already passed through his cheek. What made Zhang Xiangbei and Xiangnan feel strange was that no blood flowed out where it passed through.

Xiaoqin told them that this part of the public period is called "wearing the staff", and those who perform "wearing the staff" cannot eat meat for a week. If they eat meat, they will bleed at this time.

Zhang Xiangbei sneered and thought, there is no scientific reason for this.

The young man held a copper seal in his hand and stamped the seal on the yellow form paper. Then he took out a lighter from his pocket and lit the yellow form paper he had read. When it was about to burn out, he flicked his hand. When the paper was raised, the ashes flew away, which showed that Gongzu knew that the prayer had been granted and it had been granted.

At this time, the middle-aged man from the Whispering sect in front was already holding a shiny steel drill that was one meter long and as thick as chopsticks. I rubbed it, Zhang Xiangbei thought, wouldn’t he want to Can such a thick steel bar be passed through?

The middle-aged man put the sharp end into his mouth like the young man in front of him. Xiangnan had turned his head and did not dare to look. Zhang Xiangbei stared intently. He wanted to see Let’s see if this is magic or if we can actually walk through it.

The tip of the steel drill clearly penetrated the cheek, but there was still no blood. It penetrated about half a meter, and then the middle-aged man bit the steel drill with his mouth.

The crowd burst into applause and cheers.

"I'll go! It's true!" Zhang Xiangbei shouted. He couldn't help but walk out of the jackfruit forest and squeezed into the crowd. Xiaoqin followed him.

The two people squeezed in front of the middle-aged man. At this time, the middle-aged man was already holding another steel drill of the same length and thickness. Zhang Xiangbei looked at him, holding the steel drill in his right hand, and the thumb of his left hand. The index finger pinched the layer of skin at the Adam's apple on the neck and pulled it forward forcefully. Then he held the steel drill in his right hand and poked it. When he let go with his left hand, the steel drill had already passed through.

Zhang Xiangbei looked carefully this time and confirmed that the steel drill really went through and it was not a magic trick.

The middle-aged man slowly moved the drill forward, moved it to the middle, and stopped. There was someone beside him who helped hold the drill.

This time, Zhang Xiangbei was also surprised that such a thick steel rod passed through it, and there was no bleeding at the penetrated part.

Another person came over with the same steel drill. The middle-aged man took it in his hand. He still held the steel drill in his right hand and pinched the earlobe of his left ear with his left hand. Zhang Xiangbei saw that there was no hole there. This man Immediately afterwards, the steel drill was passed through the earlobe, and three steel drills were pierced on one person's body.

Zhang Xiangbei was convinced. He felt that no matter what, this was a real guy, leaving aside the part where he was pretending to be a ghost.

Zhang Xiangbei took out his wallet and money. He was still a little frightened, and asked Xiaoqin to help him drill each piece of steel for two hundred yuan.

Someone nearby brought yellow paper and a pen and asked Zhang Xiangbei to write. Zhang Xiangbei was still confused and wrote "I wish the whole family good health" and handed it to the person.

The man handed the yellow form paper to the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man held a steel drill in his mouth. Someone beside him helped him hold the two steel drills that passed through his neck and earlobes. The middle-aged man also held a steel drill in his hand. A copper seal and a lighter. The copper seal was rectangular with many seal characters engraved on it. Zhang Xiangbei could not see clearly what they were.

The middle-aged man picked up the yellow form paper, looked at it, stamped it, then lit a lighter and burned the yellow form paper.

I really didn't dare to look at such a scene anymore. Zhang Xiangbei and Xiaoqin walked back. After thinking about it, he took out another two hundred yuan and asked Xiaoqin to help thread it on the wire of the young man in front. Although he had changed at this time. Zhang Xiangbei found it not easy for the little witch to meet the big witch.

"What to write?" Xiaoqin asked.

Zhang Xiangbei thought for a moment and said, "I wish 'Zhai Xian Delivery' will get better and better."

Zhang Xiangbei returned to the woods and told Bao Tianbin that he really walked through it, not magic.

"Of course, can magic become an intangible cultural heritage?" Bao Tianbin said with a smile.

Zhang Xiangbei shook his head: "I'm wondering how he did it without blood."

Bao Tianbin said: "Didn't Xiaoqin tell you that you can't eat meat for a week?"

"That's nonsense." Zhang Xiangbei said.

There was another commotion in the crowd, and everyone moved out of the way. A middle-aged man did not dance, but half-closed his eyes, shaking his head and walking forward. At this time, the crowd burst into applause. Bao Tianbin He laughed and said to Zhang Xiangbei:

"Here comes the main event."

At this time, Zhang Xiangbei saw four young men coming over with a shiny steel drill six to seven meters long and as thick as a finger on their shoulders. Zhang Xiangbei shouted:

"I'll go, don't you want to wear this one too?"

"Of course, this is the highest level of 'wearing a stick'." Bao Tianbin said with a smile.

Xiangnan became bolder at this time, and couldn't help but be curious. She didn't turn around, but held Zhang Xiangbei's hand tightly with her hand, and looked over there.

The four young men lifted the steel drill on their shoulders into their hands. The middle-aged man grabbed the tip of the steel drill with his right hand, put it into his mouth, held his left cheek with his left hand, separated his index and middle fingers, and opened his mouth to the north. They saw that the tip of the steel drill came out from the cheek, where the index finger and middle finger were separated.

Although Xiang Nan was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but exclaimed "Ah", and the hand holding Zhang Xiangbei was shaking slightly.

The steel drill stretched longer and longer from the cheek. One of the four young men came to the left and helped lift the tip of the steel drill. The steel drill continued to stretch. Then, the second young man came over to help, and the steel drill continued to stretch. After walking out for three or four meters, it stopped. The middle-aged man was now impaled by a steel drill.

There was a loud sound of gongs and drums, and the people carrying the father-in-law stood up carrying the father-in-law and the parents-in-law. Every household also carried their own shrines and followed behind. No one carried the incense burner, and the fireworks continued in the same place. Xiaoqin and Zhang Xiangbei said , now it is a village tour, either walking around the village, or walking around the main roads in the village, and I will come back again.

Those who were "wearing sticks" also had to follow the bearer to patrol the village. For the last guy, the steel drill was too long and the road was too narrow. The four young men could only walk straight carrying the steel drill, so that the one who was wearing the rod was walking straight. The guy on the steel drill can only walk sideways.

Zhang Xiangbei wanted to follow him to have a look, but Xiangnan pulled him back and said no.

Zhang Xiangbei took out his wallet, handed it to Xiaoqin, and said to Xiaoqin:

"You help me drill this guy's steel, and it costs a thousand dollars."

Xiaoqin said yes and left with his wallet. Zhang Xiangbei asked, "Don't you ask me what I want to write?"

Xiaoqin shook his head and said no, "I know what to write. I wish you a baby soon!"

After Xiaoqin finished speaking, he disappeared. Bao Tianbin laughed, Zhang Xiangbei laughed, and Xiangnan blushed.

The people in the open space all followed the carrying team that patrolled the village, and their eyes suddenly became empty. Even the wind in the jackfruit forest seemed to flow, and it felt much cooler.

The three of them found a stool and sat down in the woods. Zhang Xiangbei remembered it and said that this actually made sense.

"How do you make sense?" Bao Tianbin asked.

"Earlobe piercings are actually similar to how women wear earrings. They are just a little thicker, so they are still OK." Zhang Xiangbei said, "When piercing the neck, only the outer layer of skin is pierced. If it is pierced through the arms and stomach, it will be pierced." Same, as long as it doesn't penetrate the aorta.

"Gu Gong once told me that when prisoners were escorted in ancient times, one or two people would use shackles to lock their heads and hands. What if there were many people? Just use a long wooden stick and then pass it through with chains. The prisoner's clavicle was locked to this long wooden stick, strung together in a string, and he had to act in unison before he could leave, so he couldn't escape at all.

"By the way, Americans also did this when they trafficked black slaves. The clavicle piercing is the same as the cheek piercing."

"Why don't they feel pain?" Xiang Nan asked.

"These people have been collectively hypnotized. Look at this scene. It's so hot, there are so many people, it's so noisy, plus the sound of gongs and drums, the sound of the three fathers reciting incantations, and the smell of incense. People in such an environment, It's easy to be hypnotized. After being hypnotized, you won't know the pain anymore." Zhang Xiangbei said firmly.

Bao Tianbin looked at him, and Zhang Xiangbei asked: "What, you still don't believe it?"

Bao Tianbin smiled and said nothing.

A seller of refreshing tonic came over. The three of them ordered three bowls of refreshing tonic. After eating, they felt much better. Bao Tianbin asked them if they were tired. Xiang Nan said that they were so scared that they didn’t know how tired they were. Zhang Xiang Bei laughed.

Although they were not tired, they each found a jackfruit tree trunk to lean against and take a nap.

About half an hour later, the team carrying the father-in-law came back, and Xiaoqin also came back. The father-in-law and the father-in-law returned to their places, and the shrines in each household returned to their original positions. The third father-in-law took the incense to pay homage. The father-in-law and his mother-in-law paid their respects and put the incense into the incense burner. Then, he walked up to those who were "wearing sticks" and muttered something.

Xiaoqin and Zhang Xiangbei said that they were ready to "draw out the staff". "Extracting the staff" was more difficult than "threading the staff through". It would be very painful for people with poor skills, and some people even fainted from the pain on the spot.

"That's for sure. After walking around the village for so long, these people have all woken up. They are not in a hypnotic state now. They can actually feel the pain. When the steel drill is pulled out, of course it will only hurt more." Zhang Xiang Bei said he felt he had solved the case.

Xiaoqin didn't know what Zhang Xiangbei was talking about. He looked at Bao Tianbin, who smiled but still didn't say anything.

At the beginning of "drawing out the staff", when the steel drill twitched, it was obvious that they were all in pain, but they tried their best to pretend to be very relaxed. One hand was holding a handful of incense burner ashes and a piece of yellow paper. When the solder came out of the cheek, I immediately wiped the incense burner ashes on it, and then pressed the wound with yellow paper.
