Chapter 159 The Human Skin Mask and Past Events

The self-deception method is to achieve the purpose of disguise based on the original face, dyeing hair, tying eyebrows, applying face or wearing wigs, pasting beards, beards, changing their clothes, etc.

This method is often used when women dress up as men and escaping. Although their faces have not changed much, they just tied their hair or applied some pastel on their faces, but others are like blind and can't recognize them.

This kind of disguise is the most simple and low-level disguise technique. The old woman is quite disdainful of this, so she calls it self-deception.

As for acupuncture, silver needles are inserted into some special acupoints in the human body, causing qi and blood to accumulate and stack, and the skin may swell and expand, or shrivel and shrink, so as to achieve the effect of changing the appearance.

It was once rumored that several years ago, a ghost doctor had a superb acupuncture method. He was chased for offending the head of a sect.

He used acupuncture to change his appearance and secretly lurked beside the leader. Because his disguise skills were too profound, no one recognized him.

The ghost doctor seized the opportunity and poisoned the head of the sect with poisoned wine. Later, he was also caught and took off the silver needle inserted into Fengchi acupoint in front of everyone. His appearance changed into another person in an instant, which surprised everyone.

In this way, the method of disguising with acupuncture has become popular in the world.

However, acupuncture has a big disadvantage, which is difficult to operate and slow to take effect.

Ordinary people have insufficient understanding of acupoints. When applying acupuncture, they all have strict requirements on the depth, strength and angle of the silver needle. On the surface, they only have a needle, but there are many tricks inside.

If you only learn two or three fur, you will get an acupuncture on yourself. If you don’t know if you don’t succeed in disguise, you will definitely not be able to escape disfigure.

Moreover, because the acupuncture method requires the body to automatically react because of the obstruction of acupuncture meridians, the effect will not be immediately effective after using the needle.

It can be as short as one or two hours, and it can be as long as two to three days, so as to achieve the effect of disguise.

It would be fine if you were prepared in advance, but once you run away after seeking revenge, you will be cold after you complete your disguise.

Gu Shun learned a medical book called "Acupuncture for Difficult and Miscellaneous Symptoms" in his father's intimate room. It contains methods of acupuncture and disguise, but the medical book also bluntly stated that long-term use of this method will cause irreversible damage to the meridians.

Although the black and white double evil spirits are masters of needle use, this method is rarely used.

The two of them simply explained some concepts and needle skills, so they gave up.

The method of using needles to explain the black and white evil spirits is exactly the same as that contained in the medical book. Gu Shun just listened to it once and then connected the two and mastered the method of disguise.

The method of acupuncture and disguise can be applied to oneself or used on others. He is planning to find someone to try it in the future.

As for the most common disguise method used in the world now, it is mask-style, which is what people usually understand as human skin masks.

Human skin masks are usually made of leather materials such as pig skin and sheep skin. They are specially processed and imitated to create the same complexion and texture as human skin.

The human skin mask is divided into two layers: the inner layer needs to be closely matched with the skin, while the outer layer is forged with various face shapes to achieve the purpose of disguise.

There is no such thing as silicone in this world, so the craftsman who makes human skin masks process the skin that has just been stripped off from the body of cattle, sheep, pigs and donkeys, and then pressed by special molds and shaped it step by step, and finally reached the level of being as thin as paper, which is fake and real.

Craftsmen who specialize in making human skin masks are called face coverings in the world. Some face coverings with particularly good skills are often sought after. The price of one human skin masks produced by them is worth a thousand gold.

The most famous case of using human skin masks is related to the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.

When the Hu people invaded the south and attacked the capital, the last emperor of the Han Dynasty put on a human skin mask and mingled among the people who fled out of the city and fled out of the capital.

After the city was broken, the first thing the Hu people did was to capture the Han emperor, so they sent troops to surround the entire palace.

However, when the Hu people killed all the imperial guards guarding the palace and broke into the palace, except for the women in the harem, eunuchs and several ministers who were ready to die, the Han emperor had long disappeared.

The disappearance of the Han emperor made the Hu people not anxious and unable to sleep or eat, and vowed to see people alive and die to see the corpse. The Hu soldiers captured many palace maids and eunuchs and forced them to ask about the whereabouts of the Han emperor.

In the end, a eunuch could not withstand the torture and quickly called him.

It is said that the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty once left a mysterious box. If the Han Dynasty encounters an unexpected future, open the box.

Hearing this, the Hu people began to dig three feet into the palace to find the box. Soon, they found the overturned dust-free lacquer wooden box in the emperor's bedroom.

This wooden box contains a human skin mask.

There are four-line poems written on the inner wall of the wooden box:

"Use boys' urine to use armor water, which is hidden in the dust of winter and summer, and can be combined with beef and mutton fat to face the hills, making it easy to have thousands of appearances without the need for bones."

What this poem says is the method of making a human skin mask. Of course, a real human skin mask cannot be that simple.

When he learned that the Emperor of the Han Dynasty used a human skin mask to escape from the palace, the Hu people immediately closed all the gates of the capital and searched the emperor's whereabouts from door to door throughout the capital.

After searching for three days, the emperor was not found. In a rage, the Hu people massacred all the dignitaries and their families in the capital. This was the massacre incident in the capital that caused a sensation in the Central Plains and even the entire Han Dynasty.

From then on, the last emperor of the Han Dynasty completely lost its trace, as if it had evaporated from the world, and there was no news yet.

Later, the Hu people claimed that when they were inspecting the body in a prince's mansion, they found the Han emperor who was disguised and hid, and cut off his head and brought it to the court.

However, many people also doubt the truth of this matter, claiming that it was just a Hu people in order to consolidate their rule and maintain their orthodoxy. Even if the emperors of the previous dynasty really disappeared, they had to forge a fake one to destroy the world's attempt to revive the Han Dynasty.

Regardless of whether the head of the Han emperor was true or not, it has been almost twenty years since this incident.

In the years when the Han Dynasty was destroyed, there were many people who raised troops to resist the Great Qi, but they were eventually suppressed. The Hu people had been firmly in the Central Plains for ten years, replaced two emperors, and completely consolidated their rule.

However, the fact that the emperors of the previous dynasty used human skin masks to disguise themselves and escaped was just a demonstration that the use of human skin masks to disguise themselves from the court officials to the peddlers and barracks, and martial arts worlds were the most commonly used disguise methods.

In addition to the masks made by craftsmen with cow and sheepskin, there are also some evil people in the world who use real human skin to make masks. For example, Cui Lianren from the Evil Valley used to peel off the dead and make masks.

Human skin is more simulated than cattle and sheep skin, but because it directly cuts the noodles and beheads during production and is too cruel, it has long been banned by the martial arts world.

Among the Demon Cult, there are many excellent face-covering craftsmen who use human skin to make masks. Many of the disguises carried out by the Demon Cult in the martial arts world are from the hands of these people.

Using human skin masks to disguise has great disadvantages, and people nowadays have learned to be smart.

Once you encounter someone who is suspicious of disguise, your neck will be exposed. The examiner uses a thin bamboo piece to gently scrape it near his chin. If you use a human skin mask, it will easily reveal flaws.

The mask is fake and real, and it also has a connection point with the jaw and neck, which is easily visible.

"Mr. Gu, next we will teach you a more practical method of disguise."
