What is the legendary ancient illusion? How good is it?

Magic is a mysterious thing. It is universally acknowledged that China, India and Egypt are the cradles of the three ancient magic in the world. Since the magic of our country was so powerful in ancient times, why didn't it spread to modern times? Actually, it depends on how you understand the illusion.

One: hallucination is actually hypnosis.

When it comes to illusion, the first reaction may be a spell that makes the enemy unconscious and fall into hallucinations or dreams, just like in Naruto. Isn't it like hypnosis? If we really want to analyze its principle, the caster will inadvertently affect the target through some actions, sounds and even smells, so that the other party will fall into a trance, and then further manipulate the other party to achieve their own goals.

The common Taoist herbs are agarwood, cinnabar, sandalwood or Datura flower powder. The smell of these items can create an atmosphere, and then with the action of waving your hand and the sound of bells, you can make the other party confused. Will you instill concepts in him again? This is a dream. This is not true. ? , and then properly in your plan. So hallucinations are more like mental attacks.

Two: illusion is actually magic.

However, there are other versions of ancient magic. The most common changes are living, floating in the air, taking things from a distance, etc. If you think about it carefully, it will be very similar to the current magic.

Zuo Ci recorded in history is probably familiar to everyone. The Book of Were Han also recorded how Zuo Ci used magic to tease Cao Cao. Fishing in the plate and walking through the wall are really superb skills.

Later, in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, illusion was very powerful. This is a grand magic performed by thousands of people. The scenes in The Legend of the Demon Cat may be more suitable, but they will not be popular in the palace in the future. After all, it is a waste of people and money. Therefore, the position of the illusionist shifted to the people. Is there a feeling of performing in the street? It's like breaking a big stone in the chest and swallowing swordsmanship. You must be dismissive now, but it's not an illusion for ordinary people at that time.
