    [1] "Life" Bei Dao. Poetry

    net

    Life is like a net, and we are all in the middle of the net.

    Maybe, we are that net, everyone is a knot on the net, and no matter whether you are happy or not, you are inextricably linked with other people and cannot be separated.  Just like Wang Mian, he already lived a life close to seclusion, but he couldn't get rid of or detach himself from this state of existence.

    Zhen Youqian stepped into Wang Mian's small courtyard, saw the book boy was brewing medicine with his head bowed, and asked, "Who are you making medicine for?"

    The little book boy looked up and saw that it was Zhen Yougan, so he said, "Mr. Zhen, you are here."

    "Oh~" Zhen You responded dryly, thinking to himself, I'm asking too much, they only have two masters and servants, and the book boy decocts medicine, who else can it be for?  Then he smiled embarrassingly, "Is Wang Juren at home?"

    "Yes, go in by yourself!" The book boy replied without raising his head.

    Yougan pushed the door open and entered the thatched hut. Seeing Wang Mian lying on the bed, he asked, "Wang Juren? Why, are you sick?"

    Wang Mian slightly opened his eyes, only replied with a word "Humph", and then closed his eyes again.

    Seeing Wang Mian's expressionless face, Yougan thought to himself: It seems that there is no way to discuss with Wang Mian about making medicine for Qingwan here.  He softly opened the door, walked out slowly, came to the little bookboy again, squatted down, and asked in a low voice, "Wang Juren, what's wrong with you?"

    The book boy said: "On Renren's Day, my young master said that he was going to climb that mountain and look far away. I don't know what kind of ravine he walked.  Holding a branch of plum blossoms, I went straight into the house I called him, but he ignored me, and I quickly followed in. I saw the young master hid the plum blossoms under the pillow, lay down and went to sleep dejectedly You know, at that time  The sun was still high, and I called him again, but he ignored me, neither spoke nor ate"

    Yougan taught the book boy: "You said you boy, he went out alone, why didn't you follow?"

    "I want to come, but the young master won't let me!"

    "Have you found the doctor yet?"

    "I found it." The book boy said, "No, I prescribed a lot of medicine, but it didn't work. The young master is still in a trance."

    "The doctor said what the disease was, but you didn't ask?"

    "I asked, but the doctor couldn't tell. He just told me 'Take medicine to disperse'. I don't know what disperse it is."

    "Oh, walking this wilderness Will he encounter some evildoers!"

    The book boy looked at Yougan with wide eyes.

    Yougan continued to threaten, "Think about it, this ghost who has been suffocating all winter, how can he not come out to do evil? You have to find a wizard to show him. I see your master looks like  Possessed by something."

    "I went to the old abbot of Jueshan Temple. After he came to see him, he said, 'Let go of desires, let go of all greed"

    "What do the old monks know? They only care about superseding them. Then they have to wait until the people are gone You should invite a witch [1] to come. They can draw amulets and chant spells to drive away gods and ghosts"

    "Where can I find this miracle doctor?"

    "It's not a miracle doctor, it's a witch, oh, you don't understand it! How about it, I'll get you one"

    "How much will it cost?"

    "You don't care how much it costs to cure the disease."

    "We have no money!"

    "No, no money, okay! Look at this, I'll pay you for a sorceress, how about you make medicine for me?"

    "You have the same disease as my young master?"

    "I, I, how can I be sick!"

    "I'm not sick, why are you making medicine?"

    "I, I, don't worry about it."

    "Don't worry about it, Mr. Zhen, if something happens to you if you don't eat well, I can't afford it."

    "This child~" You Gan laughed, "I won't let you worry about it, even if I die after taking the medicine you boiled, it has nothing to do with you."

    "What if the yamen arrest me?"

    "It's okay, I'll go to the Yamen to testify for you."

    "You are dead, how can you testify for me?"

    "This, this, I don't eat it, it's a friend of mine, she eats it."

    "Can't she handle it herself?"

    "Isn't it, if she cooks medicine at home, is she afraid that her husband will find out!"

    "Oh, I understand." The book boy nodded and said.

    "That's right," You Gan said, "at first glance, you are a smart kid. Simply put, youExpress her thoughts and requirements in a tone of voice.  Only when the patients themselves believe in the existence of ghosts and gods will they have the symptoms of "ghosts and gods possessed" when they fall ill.  On the contrary, people who do not believe in ghosts and gods will not have such symptoms no matter how sick they are.  Under the circumstances that the vast rural culture is backward and feudal superstitions are prevalent, some so-called "ghosts and gods possessed by spirits" in some hysterical patients are not terrible in themselves.  , crippling the mind and body of the patient.

    (3) Wizard

    A wizard is a general term for people who practice witchcraft; or specifically refers to people who make a profession of pretending to be gods and ghosts and praying for others.  In ancient times, women who performed spells were called witches, and men were called scorpions.

    ? "Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Queen's Chronicle. He Diyin Queen": "After the words, we will coerce the way of witches and Gu with Zhu."

    Tang Lixian's note: "Wizards are Gu, so they are called Wu Gu."

    Song Sima Guang's "Sushui Jiwen" Volume 14: "The wizard cursed: Anyone who breaks his oath should be such a servant."

    Wizards have many functions in a society.

    For example, they can use magic to protect others from natural disasters, outsiders, and enemies.  They are also responsible for correcting mistakes, weighing right from wrong, manipulating nature and explaining horrific phenomena.

    Witchcraft is a low-level spell because it is not a kind of belief, but like high-level spells, it is also mechanical and intuitive.  But compared with the purely evil magic of voodoo, witchcraft is closer to a religion.  And witchcraft also has a benevolent side, for example, it is used to protect villages and tribes from evil enemies and disasters.  But it can also be very evil if used by some unscrupulous people!

    Although wizards primarily use spells, they also use potions.  But no matter which one it is, it can be used to take the life of others.  But these statements are just rumors. No one can really perform spells at present, so it is enough to have a direct understanding of wizards through this passage, and don't take it seriously.

    Historically, there are many gods related to witchcraft, because wizards will be responsible for delivering oracles, interpreting magic cards, and watching and other similar activities.  Despite this, wizards, or more precisely witches, are often equated with evil.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
