What are the skills of ancient Taoist priests? What is it about picking the moon with your bare hands and moving things in the air?

The status of ancient Taoist priests is the top nine, and they are still very respected among the people. Their skills are generally chanting, exorcising ghosts and evil spirits, and showing people auspicious places for burial. There are also some powerful Taoist priests who can perform magic. In history, a Taoist priest called picking the moon for tourists with his bare hands, and another Taoist priest called Luo to carry things for the prince. They are all very magical, similar to modern magic, but more shocking than magic.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a Taoist named Zhou Sheng, who had a great illusion. When he was traveling abroad, he met several very friendly tourists and was willing to show them the illusion of picking the moon with his bare hands. Zhou Sheng, like a large-scale magic arrangement of props, covered an empty house on all sides, then pretended to string a ladder with hundreds of chopsticks, and then hid in the house and couldn't get out.

Before long, a dark cloud floated by and covered the moon. Chow Sang immediately ran out and said that he had picked the moon. He opened his clothes for everyone to see, and there was a moon about an inch inside, shiny and shiny. The tourists were very surprised and urged him to hang the moon back quickly, so Zhou Sheng entered the room again and closed the door. Soon, the dark clouds in the sky floated away and the moon appeared again.

The performer of this illusion is one of the most famous illusionists in the Tang Dynasty. His name is Luo. It is said that he was stupid when he was a child, but after staying in the mountains for several years, he suddenly seemed to understand that, like a master of prophecy, many things would be guessed by him. When Emperor Xuanzong heard about it, he called him to Beijing. After entering Beijing, Luo was greeted by the Prince. At the dinner table, Luo hoped that the prince could give him the gold cup and silver spoon on the table, but the prince was very stingy and didn't want to give it to him. He also hid these things in the cupboard and locked them firmly for the guards to guard. As a result, when the prince opened the cupboard the next day, all the gold and silver supplies were gone and all went to Luo's home. Later, Luo also smiled and returned all these gold and silver supplies to the prince, who was dumbfounded.
