Chapter 106: Language Arts
"The third round turned out to be a comparison of looks, Qin Yu will not look at his faces. β
Hearing Lin Qiusheng's words, Mo Yongxing muttered, he had known Qin Yu for so long, and he had really never seen him show his ability to look at appearances.
"I think so. Zhang Hua is not sure, although his cousin is extraordinary in Kanyu, he may not be able to look at physiognomy, or he is also very good at physiognomy, the reason why Zhang Hua and Mo Yongxing have doubts is also because of Qin Yu's age.
Qin Yu is only in his twenties, if he can really have a dazzling expression in feng shui in physiognomy, it can really be said to be a rare genius in a hundred years.
Qin Yu didn't know the worries of Zhang Hua and others, but when he heard Lin Qiusheng's words, he remembered a blog he saw on the Internet not long ago, which exposed some of the tricks of the so-called fortune teller.
mentioned in that blog: Now some so-called physiognomy masters who set up stalls to tell fortunes actually don't know the real physiognomy at all, but it doesn't matter, as long as there is language art, you can still be called a physiognomy master, and you can also mix the wind and water.
The so-called language arts refers to those ambiguous words, and the blogger has given a few examples for this.
"The father dies before the mother". This sentence is the most classic sentence that fortune tellers use to fool fortune tellers, and you may think that this is nothing at first hearing, but if you analyze it carefully, you will find that this sentence contains countless possibilities.
Suppose that if the person who comes to tell the fortune dies first, then the father dies first and the mother dies first, yes. My father is still here, but my mother is dead.
But if the father dies before the mother, if you read this sentence carefully, you will find that it also makes sense, the father died before the mother.
As for if both parents are there, it would be better to fool, whatever you want to understand, anyway, who can say exactly what the future will do. And those who come to fortune telling, no matter how they put it on their bodies, it is appropriate to put it on their bodies no matter how they hear this, after all, it is a minority that their parents die at the same time, so they will think that this fortune teller really has the ability.
In addition to counting parents, that is, counting children, these fortune tellers also have ways to deal with it, and the blogger gave another sentence in the article as an example.
"Honmei had three children, one of whom hung on a tree. β
This ambiguous statement is applicable and accurate to those who have given birth to one to four children.
You see, if the teller says that there is only one child, "one hangs", there is a natal life, but two are not settled.
If it is said that there are two children, it is also true, "one hangs", and only two were born.
If there are three children. By the way, there are three of them.
If you want to say that there are four children, yes, the natal life is only three, but there is one that is hanging and has been born.
If he had five or six children, well, the liar would have considered himself unlucky, and a hundred people had fooled ninety-nine, and he would have succeeded and would have been praised by everybody.
In addition to linguistic tricks, fortune tellers often use clichΓ©s and pretend to be mysterious, Qin Yu once saw a story in an essay book.
A self-proclaimed fortune teller claimed to have known 500 years and 800 years, and one day, three Xiucai who were going to Beijing to take the exam came to ask him:
"How many of us can get into the exam this time?"
The fortune teller closed his eyes and pinched his fingers, then stretched out a finger, and the three Xiucai asked him what he meant, and the fortune teller shook his head and said, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." β
After the showmen left, the fortune teller's apprentice asked the master: "Master, you just stretched out a finger, what do you mean?"
The fortune teller looked left and right, and found that there was no one, so he said softly: "There are three of them, if one of them is successful, this finger means that one person has passed the examination; if two people have passed the examination, it means that one person has failed; if all three of them have passed the examination, it means that they have all passed the examination; if they have not passed the three, it means that they have not won any of them." β
After hearing this, the apprentice laughed: "The heavenly machine is like this, it really can't be leaked!"
These are some so-called fortune tellers, in fact, they are tricks that charlatans often use to fool people, Qin Yu likes to visit some supernatural forums when he has not obtained the Zhuge Neijing, and sometimes he will pretend to be a fortune teller to help people look at palmistry, not to mention, nine of the photos of palms sent by ten people were correct.
Don't think that Qin Yu knew how to read at that time, in fact, he just used some charlatan terms to deceive people, if you see this palm is white, delicate, and obviously the palm of a young man, Qin Yu will say:
"The family is good, I rely on wisdom to eat, my parents are pampered, and I have more than enough talent. β
I believe that after the above two examples, we can also analyze some things for this, this palm is white and tender, not rough, it must be that he has not done any work, and it can be inferred that the other party's family background is good, and relying on wisdom to eat, this is easier to apply, no matter what kind of work you do, as long as you are not working on the construction site, you can say that you make money with your mind, and this person who works on the construction site, the hands will not be so delicate and white.
As for the pampering of parents, they are all only children now, and their parents have been spoiled from childhood to adulthood, even if they are not only children, as long as they have a good family environment, they take good care of their children, and they can put this sentence on it.
The last sentence is more than talented, then it is purely to praise the other party, most people will not feel that they are fools, as soon as they heard Qin Yu's words, they naturally believed in three points in their hearts, the so-called three points of praise, seven points of scare, this is a common means used by fortune tellers.
These deceptions that have flowed out of China for hundreds of years, not to mention one person, is a group of people have a way to fool the believe, Qin Yu, as a student of the Chinese Department, usually likes to read books on this subject, I have to say that China's language art is too powerful, with the observation of words, anyone can fool people a few times.
The gossip was a bit far, and after Lin Qiusheng announced the content of the third round of the competition, after everyone was talking about it, he spoke again: "For this third round of physiognomy competition, we specially found three friends, and all we have to do is to observe the faces of these three friends, and then write down the calculations on paper, and finally the three of us will review them." β
"One point is awarded to one person, three points to two winners, and five points to all winners. β
It is still the same scoring standard as the previous two rounds, after Lin Qiusheng finished speaking, three figures stood up from the guest seat and walked to the conference table, Qin Yu saw that it was the fat fellow, and his friend, as for the other one, he had never seen it.
"Is this what he says about his employer? β
Qin Yu understood, this fat man was obviously embarrassed to say that he was here to test the feng shui masters, and the feng shui masters showed him his appearance, if he was an employer, he could also say that he was in the past.
