Chapter 016 The Witch's Past and Present Life
As soon as Shi Lei said this, several people in the room were energetic. Even Liu Dacheng's expression changed, less stern and more rigorous as a scholar. He thought for a moment and said lightly: "There are two mistakes in your words."
Shi Lei smiled bitterly, thinking that Liu Dacheng regarded me as an enemy, and his hostility was even heavier than Liu Yifang. This opening was two mistakes, obviously a fight for power. He glanced at Liu Yifang, and Liu Yifang happened to see him. The two of them met and smiled knowingly. Liu Yifang let go of his hand, reached on the table, held Shi Lei's hand, and pinched it gently.
Liu Dacheng saw it and frowned again. When Liu Yifang saw it, she was even more relaxed. She simply snuggled up to her whole body and smiled: "Shi Lei, don't be afraid of mistakes. On the contrary, science is coming through constantly correcting mistakes. The spirit of science is the spirit of constant doubt. In the world of science, there is no authority that cannot be doubted. If Copernicus did not doubt, how could it be possible to break the geocentric theory? If Einstein did not doubt Newton's classic theory of time and space, how could it be possible to create the theory of relativity? Every progress in science now has gone from mistakes to correct. Only those who stick to their shortcomings and live in ancient times will regard the things of their ancestors as treasures and dare not step beyond the line."
Liu Dacheng sighed, his momentum weakened a little. He said helplessly: "Fangfang, if science is omnipotent, what are you asking me for?"
"I'm looking for you, just to give you a chance." Liu Yifang pressed her tighter, almost hanging half of her body on Shi Lei. She smiled more charmingly, but her eyes were a little cold: "You should know that even if you don't say it, I will find the answer sooner or later."
"Okay." Liu Dacheng lowered his head and fiddled with the teacup in his hand: "You are all students in the medical school. You should know that the lower part of the traditional Chinese character "子" is the character "子", so medical skills are a kind of witchcraft, not 子歐. The scope of these two concepts is exactly the opposite."
Shi Lei nodded, and admitted that there was indeed something wrong with his statement just now.
"Then, Zhu Youke has not disappeared now. Strictly speaking, sticking door gods, couplets, and setting off firecrackers are all types of witchcraft, but this witchcraft has now become more customs and has lost its original meaning of witchcraft. Let's give an example that is closer to witchcraft. After a child in the countryside was frightened, he used talisman water to call the soul, which is real witchcraft. I think others have never seen it, but you must have seen this kind of thing from the mountains."
Shi Lei frowned and couldn't help feeling a little ashamed. He always felt that witchcraft was a symbol of backwardness and ignorance, and had long been extinct. Unexpectedly, witchcraft left a lot in the lives of the people, far beyond his imagination.
"Then, let me talk about another phenomenon: no matter in the countryside or in the city, after someone dies, they will ask monks or Taoist techniques to recite scriptures and release spells. That is also witchcraft, and the purpose is to make the soul ascend to heaven. What I want to remind you at the same time is that the lower part of the traditional Chinese character of the word "spirit" is also witchcraft. In other words, spiritual art is witchcraft."
Ximen Miaomiao nodded involuntarily, thinking about something.
"Whether we are useful or not, at least the market for witchcraft is not as small as you think." Liu Dacheng smiled: "However, what I just said was folk witchcraft, which is a relatively low-level witchcraft. Fortune telling, feng shui, calculating futures, and even changing fortunes. This is high-end witchcraft. Those on the streets are scammers who make money, and those who are truly capable are all staff members around the powerful."
He pointed to himself: "I am actually a witch, a witch who serves the powerful, but my skills are medical skills and are easily accepted."
Shi Lei and others looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Although they didn't like Liu Dacheng very much, they had to admit that Liu Dacheng was right. Witchcraft was everywhere and had no news at all. It was not only available in poverty and backward mountainous areas as ordinary people imagined. In fact, the truly capable modern wizards are at the top.
"This is easy to understand, because the witch is at the highest level." Liu Dacheng poured a little tea on the table, dipped his fingers in the tea, and said while drawing: "This horizontal is the sky, this horizontal is the earth, and the middle vertical represents the heaven and earth. One of the two people on the two sides represents the witch, that is, the witch, and the other represents the structure, that is, the male and witch. One yin and one yang are called Tao, and one man and one woman can be born. In addition, the witch also refers to the witch at home, and the witch refers to the witch outside, one inside and one outside, which is also in line with the opposition between yin and yang. However, the original meaning of the word witch refers to the heaven and earth. In layman's terms, it is a person who communicates with humans and gods."
He glanced at Liu Yifang: "Is it very similar to the science you advocate?"
Liu Yifang snorted, disagreed.
"In ancient times, witches represented divine power, above monarchy. In ancient Western history, divine power was higher than monarchy power, and monarchy was mainly enthroned by representatives of divine power, such as the Pope. In China, during the Xia and Shang dynasties, divine power was still above monarchy power. In the Zhou Dynasty, people-oriented and sacrificed their ancestors, the status of gods was reduced, and divine power began to belong to monarchy power. Witches became senior aides of the monarch. They actually mastered the highest-level technology at that time, which was equivalent to the scientific consultants around the heads of great powers, providing reference suggestions for the monarchy to govern the country."
Liu Dacheng raised his eyebrows: "Witch never means being behind, on the contrary, Wu has always been a group of people who master the highest technology."
Liu Yifang interrupted Liu Dacheng's words in anger: "Since you are so high-end, why haven't you lost yet?"
"Decline does not mean that you will fall behind." Liu Dacheng smiled, "Just like the consultation you know, the most wise Western medicine in China were present, and in the end, I, a Chinese medicine practitioner, won. Can you say that they are better than me? But, being smart does not mean that Chinese medicine will not go downhill. Fangfang, I sent you abroad to study not to make you belittle traditional Chinese medicine, but to hope that you can use the advanced technology and scientific concepts of Western medicine to change traditional Chinese medicine. Eastern and Western cultures are originally two systems, and it is impossible to lack either. You should also open your horizons and inclusively integrate them, so that you can truly gain something and fulfill your wishes."
Liu Yifang wanted to speak but stopped.
Liu Dacheng smiled slightly and turned his eyes to Shi Lei: "I'm very curious, why did you suddenly draw talismans? Can you draw them for me?"
Shi Lei nodded, dipped Liu Dacheng in tea, and drew four talismans, which were the four talismans he had just used in the morning. As soon as he finished drawing, Liu Dacheng's face changed and his voice became stern: "The first one is this charisma, the second one is the talisman of the fetus, the third one is the talisman forbidden beasts, and the fourth one is the talisman of flying talisman. These are all talismans on the secret collection of my Liu family's Liu family. Where did you learn it?"
Shi Lei shook his head: "I don't know either. These talismans seem to suddenly appear from my mind. Except for the second talisman, the other three talismans all emerged in an unconscious state. I didn't know what talisman they were."
"Fangfang, how do you explain this with the brain science you are good at?" Liu Dacheng turned to Liu Yifang.
