He said that the fleeceflower root was not used to wash hair in the beginning. It was used by wizards to cast spells.
The earliest legends could be traced back to the time when the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou fought.
Once, Chiyou invited the faceless ghost to cast a spell, causing the Yellow Emperor's soldiers to have hair all over their faces to block their vision, resulting in a crushing defeat. Later, the Yellow Emperor asked his counselor why the soldiers 'heads suddenly turned black. In ancient times, it was translated as Chinese Knotweed. A strategist said that the faceless ghost was causing trouble and even gave a way to deal with it. It was said that soldiers should wear a double-sided helmet during the war. This way, the soldiers 'faces would not appear next to the evil spirit's grave, and the spell would naturally be broken.
The Yellow Emperor listened to his advisor's advice and won. He even beheaded the faceless ghost. After the head fell to the ground, a plant grew out, which was now the Chinese Knotweed. Because the roots of this plant were transformed from the head of an evil spirit, some wizards later used it to cast a curse on people, causing them to be sad and fall ill for no reason.
Later on, it became a kind of Chinese medicine. Some people used it to wash their hair.
"I saw the embossed on the coffin lid just now. He had suspected that there was a wizard inside, and now that he saw this thing, he was even more certain.”Bro Flattop said.
I usually did some research on those strange things, and the final result was that in reality, the occupation of wizards was just as deceptive as Qigong Masters. However, when I heard that this was a wizard from three to four thousand years ago, I couldn't help but feel awe and asked,
"Are you saying that Zongzi is a wizard from the Shang Dynasty? I heard that the wizards at that time were directly affiliated with the Imperial government, which was equivalent to the academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Then we'll play with him until we die.”
Bro Flattop said,
"The sorcerers you mentioned are listed sorcerers who specialize in divination and sacrifice. The one we're meeting now is a civilian who specializes in studying sorcery. I think this wizard should be a nine-headed wizard.”
Then he told me what the Nine-Headed Witch was.
"According to historical records, witchcraft flourished in the Shang Dynasty. There was a type of wizard called the Nine-Headed Wizard. Legend had it that this wizard had nine heads and could show people different faces. They could also see the world with nine different eyes. They were extremely intelligent and could see the secrets of the heavens. Most importantly, they were especially good at changing people's heads to earn money. At first, this technique was only used as a medical treatment to save people, but it was later abused. Some people felt that they were not good-looking and would ask a wizard to change their heads.”
I was stunned.
Bro Flattop wanted to take out a cigarette from his pocket, so I took out one and lit it up. I continued to ask him,
"I'm a layman in the medical field. Based on your medical knowledge, do you think that this kind of thing exists?”
"It's definitely impossible with current medical technology. However, there was a difference between witchcraft and medicine. Witchcraft had no principles to speak of. In order to achieve their goals, they could do anything. According to what I know, it's said that before performing this kind of surgery, the wizards would first make the two of them swallow a type of voodoo. This voodoo can make the internal environment of the two people become the same, and it's also the first kind of symbiotic substance. It can make the body become an independent individual after the head is separated, and after the head is connected to the body, it can also act as a unified medium-a glue. As for whether the descendants were still considered human after the change of heads, he didn't know. However, these things are basically rumors and are not worth believing."
"In the end, it's still a myth! Single!" I said.
"It's not impossible!”Father, who was sitting at the side, suddenly spoke.
He had just sat at the side, but he could have heard what Bro Flattop said. At this moment, he began to express his thoughts.
"The two of you are young, that's why you treat strange things as stories. I've seen people live after their heads were taken off. I wanted to tell you when I saw this headless dumpling yesterday, but I was afraid that you would be afraid, so I held back. Now that I'm listening to Bro Flattop talk about these things, I feel that it's a little similar to what I've experienced before.”
At this moment, I saw Bro Flattop roll his eyes and look at my father with a strange expression. He seemed to be expressing his suspicion, but he also seemed to be hinting at something.
I'm afraid that Father won't say anything, so I'll let him say it quickly.
"Tell us, let us hear it too. It's so uncomfortable to keep it in your heart!”
Then, his father told him the story of his youth. Although I had expected this to be a sensational story, I still felt as uncomfortable as a cat scratching my heart after hearing it.
Twenty years ago, in the village of Cockscomb Village, a family gave birth to a very strange girl. She was very bright and cute, and very likable. At first, there was something unusual about the girl, but later on, when the child was in the third grade of primary school, something terrible happened. Only then did people realize that the girl was different.
One day, when the teacher was in class, the little girl was betting with the boy at the same table.
First, the boy took the pencil case and said to the girl,
"Believe it or not, I can stuff a pencil case into my mouth!”
The girl said she didn't believe him, and the boy stuffed the pencil case into his mouth. The girl felt that she could do it too, so she stuffed the pencil case into her mouth. However, because her mouth was small, she could not stuff it in no matter what. This attracted the boy's ridicule. In the end, the girl was angered and revealed her unique skill, saying,
"Believe it or not, I can take my head off!”
Her deskmate didn't believe her, so the little girl actually took her head off and hugged it in her arms like she was playing with a doll.
It was not hard to imagine that not only did the deskmate faint from fright, but the other students and teachers also scattered in a hubbub. Then, the teacher locked the girl in the classroom alone and invited the girl's mother to come to the school to take her away.
The child's mother quickly arrived at the school. She neither blamed her child nor quarreled with the school. Instead, she calmly packed her things and brought the girl home. It was as if she had already expected this day to come.
When he was led out of the school by his mother, the teachers and students of the school were watching. At this moment, the little girl had already put her head back in place and left the school with a bounce. She never went back.
Fortunately, other than removing her head, the girl did not have any ill intentions. As a result, many children were willing to play with her. Her childhood was not long, nor was she lonely.
A few years passed, and in the blink of an eye, this girl was fifteen years old. She entered the age of puberty and became more and more beautiful. There was no lack of pursuers. Just when everyone thought that this girl would live a normal life, no one expected that something would happen that would completely change her fate.
And this matter is more or less related to my father
。At that time, his father had just gotten married and had already started playing with the movie projector. Because it had not yet become popular, movies, which had large screens and colorful novelty, were very popular among people. His father was also respected by others. If there was a good thing in the surrounding villages, they would spend money to invite their father to play a movie.
In the end, things were so bad that they ended up showing a movie.
One night, his father went to the village where the strange girl lived to play a movie, which attracted a lot of people to watch. He remembered very clearly that it was the famous Tunnel Warfare. In the afternoon, when the film curtain was pulled up, people moved stools around to occupy seats. When it was dark and the film started, the area around the venue was already dark. The trees, firewood, and roofs were all filled with people. It was simply a sea of people. The scene was extremely lively.
However, there was a hidden danger under the lively scene.
All the problems were because of one word. Although the village was not rich now, it was even poorer than now. When people were poor, it was easy to cause chaos. Not only were thieves rampant, but ruffians were also rampant. At that time, almost every household had a gun. When it was dark, gunshots were often heard. Sometimes, thieves and the owner fired at each other, and sometimes, young people fought.
That night, when his father saw so many people, he had a hunch that something might happen, and then it really happened. In fact, there was nothing new about it. It was just young people fighting. At that time, a group of young scoundrels from another village came to the village to watch a movie and have fun. In the end, they met a group of scoundrels from the village. These two groups of people had a grudge against each other. When enemies met, their eyes turned red.
The scoundrels in the village quietly went home to get a gun. When the movie was two-thirds played, they finally found their enemies behind the firewood pile. They pointed the gun at them and asked for money to buy cigarettes.
He was just scaring them, but it was too dark. The other party couldn't see the gun, so he was quite tough. Not only did he not pay, but he also wanted to resist, so the gun went off. Not only did the musket blow off the boy's chin, but the muzzle also ignited the firewood pile.
The fire at the city gate did not affect the fish in the moat.
The scene at that time could be imagined. After the gunshot, the people present scattered like birds and beasts. At that time, his father was already used to such scenes and insisted on playing the movie to the end. After the movie ended, he left the projector and walked through the space between the projector and the curtain. At this moment, he realized that there was someone sitting in the darkness. His father found it strange at that time. He thought to himself, why didn't this person leave after everyone else left?”
He walked over and was almost scared to death. He saw that this person had no head, but he was still sitting quietly on the small stool.
Then, his father immediately thought of that strange girl and calmed down. He thought to himself, Why didn't she bring her head to watch a movie? He continued to walk to the two trees behind him to untie the curtains. When he took off the curtain, he saw a light swaying in the darkness nearby approaching him.
It turned out to be a middle-aged woman who was the girl's mother. After asking around, she found out that her daughter's head had been knocked off during the chaos just now and could not be found now.
Although her father sympathized with her, he could not help her. He continued to untie the curtain, then he packed up the movie machine and prepared to leave.
When he left, the middle-aged woman still found nothing. Seeing that her father was leaving, she could only hold her daughter's hand and go home.
The father pushed the tricycle and carried his equipment box in front, while the woman held her daughter's hand and followed behind the father. For a moment, his father felt very uncomfortable. He thought of the story of the wolf following the butcher and thought,
