The formations of Maoshan Technique are divided into "outer array" and "inner array". As the name suggests, "outer array" is a formation that uses geographical terrain and casting materials to impose on the outside world, while the "inner array" is a formation that is arranged on people. This poisonous scale array is a type of inner array.

In Maoshan's theory, when people are in too painful, their souls will temporarily leave their bodies, which causes the so-called shock. At this time, even if people are still alive, they will lose their will. On the battlefield, many people fell down just by being cut. It is precisely because of this "soul loss" phenomenon caused by pain. In fact, these fallen people did not die, but were just shock or fainting.

The purpose of the poison scale array is to eliminate the phenomenon of "lost soul" due to injury on the battlefield. The principle is to use a red-hot iron to burn the seven veins of the human body, and then embed a fish scale called "Anglefish*" into the scorched meat of the seven veins. After the injury is healed, the scales are combined into the skin and flesh. Therefore, this array is also called "Anglefish Array". This "Anglefish" was originally born in the deep sea, and the yin energy is much heavier than other fish. After its scales are born in the seven veins, due to the principle of yin and yang absorption, it can slow down the yang energy circulation of the seven veins.

, disrupting the normal yin and yang qi veins of the human body, on the one hand, the surface skin around the seven acupoints of the body can quickly enter the medical "necrosis" state and quickly "keratinize" without swords and guns. On the other hand, it can also prevent the soul from leaving the body easily and effectively prevent the human body from being transient shock. The soldiers who are subjected to the poisonous scale array are tantamount to the indestructible body, "let the body be bruised without reducing its courage". In the era of cold weapons, if the entire army is imposed with this formation, its combat effectiveness can be imagined.

Theoretically, famous orthodox religions like Maoshan would not take the initiative to invent this evil formation, but ancient people were the first to be righteous and were patriotic. Although they had already entered the Taoist sect, the leader Gao Yunquzhen, who was still the subject of the Ming Dynasty, was still the people of the Ming Dynasty. When encountering foreign invasions, it was natural that he was obliged to do his best. This is why later, when the King of Breaking Li Zicheng revolted, Gao Yunqu did not present the poisonous scale formation to the court: they were all Chinese, and even if Beijing was led by Li Zicheng, it was also your Emperor Chongzhen who asked him to do his own things. This formation was not invented to deal with his own people in the Ming Dynasty...

When Wu Sangui let the Qing soldiers enter the pass, Gao Yunqu originally wanted to offer this formation to Li Zicheng to resist the man, but the situation at that time was far from comparable to Yuan Chonghuan's long-term wartime battle: this anglerfish was originally a deep-sea fish, and with the fishing technology at that time, it was impossible to carry out large-scale fishing. It would be good to catch a few blind cats and die in the coastal coastal area in a year. After Wu Sangui put the man in the pass, it was unstoppable. In just a few months, before someone caught the anglerfish in the coastal areas, Li Zicheng was defeated, so this formation was listed as a forbidden formation by two real people. Although the formation map was not destroyed, it was definitely kept in a state of confidentiality in the ancestral courts of the two factions.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, when the Eight-Nation Alliance attacked Beijing, the Boxer Regiment had fought against foreigners under the slogan of "Shendao helps, invulnerable swords and guns". It was rumored that some of the senior leaders of the Boxer Regiment could really achieve the so-called "foreign guns and guns". It is said that the descendants of Chen Jingchang, the real person of Longhu Mountain, privately released the "Poison Scale Array" formation map because they could not bear foreign humiliation, but they could not turn the world back because the equipment was too disparity between the enemy and us.

"Then... why doesn't Mr. Ma need to hit the Japanese?" Old Liu said in confusion.

"That... is the evil formation..." Dai Jinshuang said, "There is a formation on his body, which is not that it is 'can't die', but that it is just 'dead later'. Moreover, after death, the soul is not easy to leave the body. Even if it can leave the body, it is not clear whether it can be reincarnated..." Dai Jinshuang smiled slightly, "The master is a person who has been influenced by modern thought. Even if this formation is powerful, he will not release this kind of thing..."

"Don't you know if you can be reincarnated?" Zhang Guozhong frowned, "They don't know if they are the Chief Gao?"

"Yes!" Dai Jinshuang was determined, "The souls of people with this kind of array cannot leave their bodies, so even if they are covered with bruises, they will not faint. They must bear this pain from beginning to end, so they cannot determine whether their souls are resentful souls..."

"Which troops on the Philippines have such formations? The Japanese?" Zhang Guozhong asked.

"Nonsense! Are you not a Japanese or a Filipino!?" Dai Jinshuang suddenly shouted, his attitude changed like a three-year-old child, scaring Zhang Guozhong so smart.

"Don't the Japanese know the harm of this formation?" Zhang Guozhong frowned, "Uncle Ma can be influenced by modern ideas, can't the Japanese?"

"The Japanese have the science of modern people, but the Japanese have no modern people's ideas..." Dai Jinshuang said coldly...

According to Dai Jinshuang's recollection, the weapons and equipment of the Philippine army were also very backward at that time, but the strength of the Japanese army was indeed beyond common sense. The intelligence department's report said that "the Japanese soldiers are still brave after they have poisonous arrows painted in their bodies." To be honest, Dai Jinshuang also heard about the so-called "Bushido spirit", but "Bushido" is absolutely impossible to defeat the poisonous. The only thing that is possible for Japanese soldiers to continue to fight after being poisoned is probably similar to the "poisonous scale array"

In order to avoid such evil and wrong paths repeating on the Chinese battlefield, Dai Jinshuang resolutely decided to find his disciple to investigate. In fact, before sending his disciples, Dai Jinshuang himself did not think about this matter in the direction of the "poisonous scale array", thinking that it was just an Eastern evil path similar to "desperate disease". However, after the disciples returned to China, Dai Jinshuang was stunned. The so-called evil paths on the Japanese were nothing else, but the "poisonous scale array" of Maoshan Forbidden Array.

There were three apprentices sent to Japan by Dai Jinshuang, and there were two genuine Kuomintang agents. Among them, Dai Jinshuang's three apprentices were all serving in the anti-Japanese guerrillas led by the underground party. They were also good at it. Their mission was not just to explore the so-called "poisonous scale array" incident in the Philippines. The most important thing was to smuggle the body of a Japanese soldier back to China as much as possible. Because the only ones who had seen the formation map were Dai Jinshuang and Maoshan Laowu Liu Zhenyu. Because of the previous "poisonous scale array" incident and some previous evil incidents, Dai Jinshuang and Liu Zhenyu could only judge whether this was really done by the "poisonous scale array" based on the real Japanese corpses.

"Then Liao Kezhou's ability is really beyond my expectations..." Dai Jinshuang said, "You can really transport the corpses of Japanese soldiers..." In Dai Jinshuang's impression, Liao Kezhou's contribution was not simply to transport the apprentices and agents to the Philippines, but to find a way to transport the corpses of Japanese soldiers back to China...

After confirming that the formation on the corpse of Japanese soldiers was the "Poison Scale Formation", Dai Jinshuang and Liu Zhenyu suspected that someone was betrayed by Maoshan or Longhushan. After contacting Yuan Shaoyizhen of Longhushan through the China Taiping Prayer Committee, Maoshan and Longhushan gathered almost all the surviving disciples who had the opportunity to contact the "Poison Scale Formation" array map at that time. After asking one by one, no one seemed to betrayed. Later, Liu Zhenyu became more cautious and claimed that the two factions had already "

People who favored the country to call the souls one by one, but in the two sects, there were two souls of each of them who had not been recruited. Among them, the souls of the fourth disciples of Longhu Mountain were trapped in the magic array, which was personally confirmed by Yuan Shaoyi Zhenren, and the souls of the true man Ma Sijia were also eliminated. Therefore, all the doubts were concentrated on the third disciple of Longhu Mountain, Miao Zhigu and the second disciple of Maoshan, Wang Zhenjiang, who said he was dead, but he could not recruit the souls. Could it be that he had been reincarnated?

Although they were suspicious, it was not convenient for several people to draw conclusions because they had no evidence in their hands. Later, the incident similar to the "poisonous scale array" occurred on the Chinese battlefield, and this incident was gradually forgotten.

In 1945, Japan surrendered and World War II was basically declared over, but the war in China did not subside as Dai Jinshuang expected. At first, the Kuomintang government hoped that Dai Jinshuang and Liu Zhenyu could continue to serve the Military Affairs Bureau and help deal with the Communist Party, but was rejected by Dai and Liu. The reason was very simple: the Kuomintang was extremely corruption, and even the military expenditure for the anti-Japanese war was greedy. Since they were both Chinese, the country might as well leave it to the strict disciplined Communist Party to take care of...

Although they were optimistic about the Communist Party's policies, Dai Jinshuang and Liu Zhenyu had already lost all their life after seven years of anti-Japanese careers and had no energy to participate in the war anymore. After saying goodbye to Feng Kunlun, in order to avoid the war, the two came to Hong Kong with their relationship with Liao Kezhou.

"What about your goal of building mountains and sights..." Zhang Guozhong said with a smile.

"I originally wanted to wait until the war is over, but who knew we would meet him..." Dai Jin's muscles suddenly tightened, and his expression made people shudder.

It was said that it was with the help of Liao Kezhou's relationship. In fact, Dai Jinshuang all relied on Liang Xiaolan's relationship. Although Liang Xiaolan was not popular at the Liao family at that time, it was more than enough to arrange these two people. Because of the war, Dai Jinshuang's money from the mainland silver account, that is, the money earned by Fu Cuoqiu was considered to be completely ruined at that time. Fortunately, the money that was used to calculate the Liao family was in Hong Kong, so it was still a bit of a fortune.

"We brothers are in Hong Kong, hoping that one day the battle will be over and we will go back to practice Taoism..." Dai Jinshuang sighed, "But I didn't expect Zhenyu to go to settle the score with my second brother..." After that, Dai Jinshuang shook his head repeatedly...

After arriving in Hong Kong, Liang Xiaolan first arranged a residence for the Dai Liu brothers, and then began to "contact business" for the two of them in the name of the concubine of the Liao family. It was nothing more than just doing things like Feng Shui. Although the two had no other skills, they really made some money by relying on Liang Xiaolan's walking around.

Originally, the two of them lived a pretty good life, but Lao Wu always regretted that he didn't take advantage of the chaos to make a good guy. Dai Jinshuang was determined to give his guy to his junior brother. He wanted to do it again. At this critical moment, an auction in the celebrity circle attracted Liu Zhenyu's attention...
