Compulsion is a kind of non-toxic powder
The so-called put compulsion, is a kind of special powder into the food, so that the people who accidentally eat after eating confusion, by the casting of the control of the drug. There are many different ways to make this powder, and there is no fixed recipe. It is usually passed down from family to family, and there are as many kinds of parasites as there are grass ghost women (the common name for parasites).
While the compulsion medicine production method is different, but its main into the powder is more or less the same. According to the Phoenix County Record, the main powders used by Phoenix's grass ghost women to make parasites are snakes, centipedes, ants, toads, etc. These poisons are collected by the grass ghost women, and the poisons are then used to make the poison. The grass ghost woman will collect all these poisons and then dry them out, grind them into powder, pack them in jars, and hide them in the foothills for a period of time, then they will become compulsion medicine. And "Huaihua Dictionary" said Jingzhou, shangzhou and other places to make compulsion, is to take snakes, scorpions, centipedes, cockroaches, spiders, etc. hidden in the jar, the sun and rain, so that their self-cannibalization, the only survivor is said to be compulsion. Compassion makers will be dried and powdered, then become compulsion powder. Accidentally eat the compulsion of people, such as not timely treatment, short for a few days, long for years will die of abdominal and heart strangulation. Although the toxicity of parasites is intense, the toxicity is difficult to test out. In the early days of the founding of new China, the masses of Xiangxi demanded the elimination of parasites is very high, the counties, state government for this purpose of folk parasites have been a large area of seizure, and will be the grass ghosts focused on the organization of learning and education. The LuXi County Record says that in 1962, the county public security bureau seized some medicines that were said to be parasites from the people and sent them to the relevant departments in Beijing for laboratory tests. The conclusion of the laboratory test was: "It is non-toxic after the laboratory test, so there is no need for blackmail." Although the national medical department denied the compulsion, modern medical equipment can not find out the compulsion in the body in the end which function is damaged, can not confirm the existence of the compulsion, but from time to time rumors of people in Xiangxi compulsion, everyone on the compulsion, would rather believe that it has, do not want to believe that it does not, informed people out of the general do not lightly eat other people's food, to prevent is not accidentally in the heart of the compulsion.
Compulsion is a unique weapon for Miao women to defend their families and love
Not all Xiangxi people will put compulsion. The technology of releasing parasites is mainly in the hands of Miao women in western Hunan. Unlike other secret techniques that are passed on from son to daughter, parasites are only passed on to women and not to sons. The mother of the deputy director of the Yuanling County Civil Affairs Commission, Lao Xiang, is a famous gynecologist in Qingshuiping Miao Township, and is said to be quite knowledgeable about Miao parasites and medication. Lao Xiang later published an article that, in 1967, his 70-year-old mother had revealed to him, Miao girls, up to 17, eight years old, their mothers, in order to teach their daughters to know a little self-defense skills, not to be bullied by others, will secretly pass on their daughters to make compulsion, the knowledge of compulsion. Learned to put compulsion Miao women, with the harm is extremely rare, are mainly the use of poison to defend their families and love.
There are many names of parasites in western Hunan, and according to the main ingredients, there are centipede parasites, lizard parasites, cockroach parasites, etc., but they can be divided into three categories for practical use, which are love parasites, fear parasites and hate parasites. These three kinds of compulsion are the magic weapon for Xiangxi women to monopolize love and maintain family stability.
Love compulsion is a woman to get their favorite and difficult to get a man under a kind of compulsion, in the love compulsion of men, often can not help but be confused by the love, would rather give up the existing happiness, without hesitation to move in love with the compulsion of the people. It is said that in the mid-fifties, Yuanling Chess Ping Township, a young man surnamed stone, and a small sister called Miao girl married, and later divorced because the two do not get together. Not long afterward, the young man married a girl named Cuicui. Little sister heard the news, heart and regret and hate, determined to take the young man from Cuicui back. So find a way, find an opportunity, with the tung leaf scooped a little cool water, secretly under the love compulsion, to the young man drank. Since the young man drank this leaf of cool water, the heart is always unable to let go of the little sister. Although Cuicui to him a thousand ways to rely on, all kinds of obedience, he is always inexorable to secretly go and little sister from time to time. Cuicui know he is in the little sister's love compulsion, had behind his back to cry and beg the little sister to collect the compulsion, the little sister refused, Cuicui can not, had to leave the young man, so that he returned to the side of the little sister.
Fear of compulsion and commonly known as fear of medicine. In western Hunan, the phenomenon of husbands being afraid of their wives and daughters-in-law being afraid of their mothers-in-law is relatively common. Some people explain that this is all because of the fear of parasites. I once had a family of neighbors, the man was a butcher, the woman was a textile worker, they had two daughters. The man probably resented his wife for not giving birth to a son, and often went outside to live with other women, sometimes not returning home for days or even half a month. Even if occasionally back to the home, the wife is not to beat or scolding, but also forced his wife to sign a divorce. Wife couldn't stand it, will be afraid of the drug quietly into the man's tea jar. Strange to say, after that, although the man is still often out of the night, but beat his wife is rarely happen. People also wilted a lot, obviously not the old days of swarthy gas. I'm afraid that because of the fear of compulsion easy to make men virile, so not as a last resort, western Hunan women do not put this kind of compulsion on men. Even if the last resort and under, in the amount of medicine is also minimal, as long as the man has so little fear of their own feeling is enough, no woman would like their own men wilted head, lack of manliness. It is said that this kind of compulsion, most of the mother-in-law under the daughter-in-law, wife under the husband. Among all the claims, I don't know how many of them can be believed.
Three kinds of compulsion, the number of hate compulsion is the most terrible. This kind of compulsion, generally in the case of the husband was robbed by another woman, the wife had no choice but to put a kind of compulsion on the husband. The purpose is to force the husband to change his mind. Xiangxi old generation said, in the hate compulsion, not yet lost, nine times out of ten can not escape death. Hate compulsion is actually a chronic poison, the incubation period in the body is longer, usually half a year after the effect of presenting the symptoms of compulsion, the longest to two or three years to reflect the length of time, mainly by the release of compulsion people decide. Yuanling Wushu Township, a village, some years ago there is a Zhang tilesmith, outside the tile, and other women good, New Year's Eve also do not go home. His wife, Li, knew that he was outside the womanizing, very sad. One year on the 30th day of the Lunar New Year, Li's back to the mountains outside the child to find her husband, just bumped into him and the woman in the tile hut play, she was very sad, advised her husband not to burn the tile, with her to go back to the village. The man refused. She had no choice but to be ruthless, so she quietly put a hate compulsion in the man's wine. When she said goodbye, she repeatedly hinted at the man said: "have a disease to come back to the village earlier, three sister her father is a hundred disease package doctor of the bone-setter." I do not know Zhang mason is not understand his wife's hints, or dead heart not willing to return to their own poor village. To the head of the third year, finally in the inexplicable disease torture died.
Women who do not release the parasites will be in trouble
Women who release parasites are customarily known in western Hunan as "grass ghosts". Because of the fear of parasites, they are often discriminated against and are feared and hated, so they are kept away. Because of this, the identity of the grass ghost women is generally very secretive, and they are careful not to let others know that they can put parasites.
While grass ghost women are very careful to keep their identities secret, because they practice making and releasing parasites, they will cause certain physical changes, and people can sometimes recognize them based on these characteristics.
Once a grass ghost woman learns to release parasites, she must find someone to release them every once in a while, or else the parasites will attack in her body, causing her great pain and even death. Therefore, when she needs to release the parasites and there is no outsider to start with, her own relatives become the targets of the parasites.
The means of releasing the parasites are many and varied, making it difficult to defend against them. Usually the grass ghost woman will be compulsion powder hidden in the fingernails, while giving people tea or dishes between the toast, unknowingly popped into the cups.
Some village cadres in rural areas of western Hunan, because their mothers or grandmothers are grass ghost women, township cadres to their homes, they will take the initiative to put their mothers or grandmothers in another room, do not allow her to come out to help make tea and rice for fear of releasing parasites to harm the township cadres. The villagers are not surprised that they often bring their own water when traveling to villages that are prone to parasites.
Compulsion medicine usually comes secretly from the person who puts the compulsion
The compulsion should be resolved in time, otherwise it will cause unexpected harm to the body. The symptoms of parasites are usually yellow and weak, lax eyes, hair loss, but the hospital is difficult to find out the disease. Therefore, the compulsion in the hospital can not be cured, you need to find the person who puts the compulsion to help in order to save each other.
Not all of the grass ghost women can decompel. The antidote to the parasites is as diverse as the parasites, and usually there is one antidote for one parasite, and often the antidote to a parasite is only available to the woman who put it there.
But the grass ghost woman gave people put compulsion, she would never dare to say that this compulsion is she put, and blatantly to give you the antidote. At this time, she will often imply that you say, you in the compulsion, you can go to find a certain person to dissolve. And before that, she will be through the door to talk, the method of demystification will be implied to a certain person. Therefore, when a person who has been poisoned by a parasite goes to the door of a certain person, he or she will naturally get the right antidote.
Why is compulsion so diverse, and how does it escape the detection of modern medical equipment and scientific and technological means, is really a difficult mystery. Hopefully, it exists only as a legend and is not a real thing.
