The Witch of Xiangxi

Chapter 207 Nuo Technique

Knowing that Xia Xiangxi would not say these words for no reason, He Xuan nodded, then caught up with the old man and asked if he could borrow a night at his house?
The old man was quite generous, and he agreed, but his son was not happy, and complained that his father was stupid, how could he take outsiders home casually?
The old man started smoking some of He Xuan's cigarettes, isn't there an old saying?He was short-handed and short-mouthed, so he didn't have the nerve to refuse He Xuan.Now when he heard his son remind him, he regretted it.Hastily said that there is really no room for guests at home, and asked He Xuan to find someone else's place to stay.

Xia Xiangxi had no choice but to directly explain the purpose, saying that he wanted to hear the old man tell the story of Huo Qingyan.After speaking, he took out two hundred-yuan bills and handed them to the old man.

The old man’s son sees that money can be earned, so he just tells stories. For such a simple thing, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said that if he wants to tell a story, he might as well go to his house and tell it while drinking tea. , how strange it would be to sit and chat in this large cemetery!

In this way, Xia Xiangxi and He Xuan changed their original plan, went to the old man's house, and listened to the old man's story about Huo Qingyan.

The beginning of the story is about the early years of the Republic of China.At that time, Chinese men had just lost the big braids at the back of their heads, and the times were changing.Li Shan, who had been an executioner, did not want to be haunted by evil spirits one day.

But even if his fate is great, the ghosts can't do anything about him, and all the retribution will fall on his two sons and daughters.If it wasn't for that female head-down teacher named Huo Qingyan, who pityed his young son and felt pity for him, their old Li family would have been extinct long ago.

Huo Qingyan grew up in Thailand, and was brought back to his ancestral home in Xiangxi by his father Huo Xianzu when he was sixteen or seventeen years old.

Huo Qingyan's father was a head-down master with extremely high Taoism. Most of the so-called talented people are proud of their talents, and Huo Qingyan's father, Huo Xianzu, is no exception.The nearby villagers knew that there was a master who had been to Nanyang and had superb skills in exorcising demons and monsters, so they came to ask for help, but they were completely rejected.

To put it bluntly, this head-down master is a person who uses spells.The head lowering technique is a spell that can both harm and save people.Because it is extremely secretive, it is not allowed to teach it in public.Therefore, most people don't know the details about the method of cultivation.There are two types of head-down masters: black-clothed head-down masters and white-clothed head-down masters.The former is mainly about giving people down, while the latter is about letting people down.The black-clothed head-down masters in Malaysia, Thailand, and Cambodia are the most famous.

It is said that the art of lowering the head was introduced to the bordering Southeast Asia by some people who knew the witchcraft of the Miao nationality living on the southwestern border of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau. When the local people combined with the local witchcraft, it became another new witchcraft. Classification, head drop technique!
It is said that the technique of lowering the head can be divided into many kinds such as lowering the head, poisoning poison, and exorcising.The voodoo poison in the head lowering technique is in the same line as the voodoo voodoo of the Miao people. There is not much difference. They both use various poisons to cast spells on the person they want to deal with. The voodoo poison directly targets the life of the opponent. It is the most mysterious and vicious in witchcraft. kind of.The head drop technique is to use some kind of toxin or insect as a prop to act on the opponent without anyone knowing it, so that the opponent can act according to his own will. The most common methods are "live drop" (use live head drop objects for practice), "dead drop" (make head drop objects into powder or liquid), "straight drop" (directly apply head drop objects to the opponent's body) ).

The so-called "Nuoshu" refers to witchcraft through various complicated techniques, allowing oneself to enter a special state of "communication between gods and humans" or "possession of gods". , can see things that others cannot see. After the wizard enters this state, he can cure intractable diseases, or find clues and things that others cannot find.

Huo Qingyan's Nuo technique is the most famous.In that turbulent era, many people left their homes to escape the war. In the early years of the Republic of China, the Qing government was overthrown, and a new historical era in China came.Then there was a temporary peace.Some people who left their hometowns also returned to their hometowns.

In a village called Xiaodianzi, the eldest son Xie Junping of a family also came back from other places.I don't know if it's because of the ups and downs, too many hardships have changed Xie Junping's character.After Xie Junping came back, his family felt that his temperament had changed drastically.He doesn't like to go out during the day, and wanders around the village at night.

After Xie Junping came back, the village could always hear the screams of chickens in the middle of the night. When people got up the next day, they found that the chicken coop had been pulled out and the chicken on the ground had its neck bitten off.

At the beginning, most people thought that weasels had entered the village to cause harm to the chicken coops, and set traps specially designed to catch weasels. As a result, not even a single weasel hair was caught, and the chicken coops were still taken out.One family stayed up late at night and watched secretly, only to see a tall figure who looked exactly like Xie Junping, walked up to their chicken coop, took out the sleeping chicken from the coop, and bit it off with a "click". Neck, drank chicken blood.The family was so frightened that they didn't dare to say anything when they saw it, and they didn't tell the story until the next day.

All the people in the village went to Xie Junping's house to make a fuss, saying that their son had become a monster and wanted to drive Xie Junping out of the village.

Xie Junping's parents didn't believe that their son was a monster, but they also felt guilty. They really thought that Xie Junping was weird, and he seemed to be a different person after he came back.They locked Xie Junping up, thinking of asking the master Huo Xianzu from the town for help, but they were turned away.

Later, Xie Junping's parents heard from people in the town that the master's daughter was also highly capable, kind and willing to help others.So he ran to beg Huo Qingyan again.In the end, Huo Qingyan really agreed to help Xie Junping see a doctor.

When Huo Qingyan performed Nuo, he had to recite mantras, hold special ceremonies, and use various strange props. In addition, he asked Xie Junping's parents to prepare a black rooster.

In the middle of the night, Huo Qingyan arrived at Xie Junping's home. After a series of complicated rituals, Huo Qingyan saw everything that happened to Xie Junping with his spiritual sense.

It turned out that Xie Junping fled to a Tibetan area in Sichuan, which is now the ABCZQZ Zhizhou.It is the second largest snow area in Sichuan and the main inhabited area of ​​the Qiang people in China.

Aba Prefecture is a high-altitude mountainous area with complex terrain, sparse population, and poor and backward life. However, relatively speaking, it is far from war and chaos, and it is rare to be peaceful.

Xie Junping has never been to the snow area, and he doesn't know the customs there. He finally saw a person lying on the grass on the grassland, so he ran over happily, wanting to ask the way, and looking forward to begging for some food thing.Unexpectedly, after he ran over, he found that the man's face was like a watermelon that had been pecked by birds in the farmland. Half of his face had been eaten by birds, and his belly had been pecked to reveal the intestines inside. The rancid smell made Xie Junping realize that it was a dead person.Immediately, Xie Junping was scared out of his wits!
