Hypnosis can be divided into three levels: mild, moderate, and deep.
When entering a mild hypnotic state, the subject will have muscle weakness all over the body, difficulty in opening the eyelids, relax physically and mentally, feel comfortable, and lie lazily on the bed, unwilling to move.
When entering a moderate hypnotic state, the subject's perception will change greatly, memory will be lost, the body will be paralyzed, and no pain will be felt. Although their consciousness is still awake, the scope is greatly reduced, and their cognitive and critical abilities are also significantly reduced. There may be delusions and hallucinations under the suggestion of the hypnotist.
When entering a state of deep hypnosis, the subject will experience numbness all over the body, stiff muscles, inhibited bodily functions, highly concentrated, and extremely narrowed range of consciousness, almost absolutely obeying the instructions of the hypnotist, completely immersed in a very subjective personal world, and even more so. Hallucinations and age and personality transitions are highly likely.
Moreover, even after waking up, the deeply hypnotized subject can faithfully perform post-hypnotic suggestion.
What is post-hypnotic suggestion? That is, after waking up, the subject can still remember the instructions given to them by the hypnotist in the dream, and strictly implement it in life.
For example, if a patient wants to lose weight, the hypnotist will suggest him to eat less during hypnosis, otherwise he will get nauseated. So after waking up, once the subject eats too much, he will feel nausea and vomiting, and slowly achieve the goal of losing weight.
To completely cure Miss Zhou's heart disease, Zhuang Li must put the other party into a deep hypnotic state, and continue to be affected by post-hypnotic suggestion after waking up.
In this way, the therapeutic effect can be maintained for a lifetime, rather than a short-term improvement.
But now, Miss Zhou, who seemed to be sleeping deeply, was actually only in a mild hypnotic state. After waking up from such a state, her hysteria could not be improved in any way.
Zhuang Li turned his head, raised his index finger, and made a silent gesture.
Thinking that the prince was next door, Mr. Zhou didn't even dare to breathe. He didn't say anything, and Mrs. Zhou and the two servants naturally held their breath.
Zhuang Jiuge was very obedient and obedient, and he covered his mouth with his palm without his brother's instructions.
In the private room, you could hear the needles falling quietly, only the sound of water droplets from the teapot falling into the copper basin, tick, tick, tick... Tick, tick, tick, tapped on and off the eardrums of everyone.
Zhuang Li said in a low voice, "Have you heard the sound of water droplets?"
Miss Zhou's frown slowly loosened, and the monotonous voice made her struggling consciousness blurred.
Zhuang Li continued: "A cave appears in front of you, and water droplets fall from the top of the cave. The walls of the cave are lit with candles, illuminating the road ahead. There is a rotating direction in front of your eyes. Down the stone stairs, I want you to go down these stone stairs."
Miss Zhou's brows furrowed, she resisted the road with no end, and was also afraid of the evil spirits lurking in the dark.
"Don't be afraid, raise your right hand, hold my hand, and I will take you with me." Zhuang Li gave the order, then looked at Madam Zhou, and made a mouth gesture: "Hold her hand."
He still understands the reason why men and women can't be kissed.
Mrs. Zhou hurriedly walked to the chaise longue and held her daughter's hand gently. Tears welled up again without knowing it.
Three years ago, this hand was round and white, soft and lovely, and it looked like a work of art when put on a green bracelet; however, three years later, this hand was rough and thin and cold as ice.
What was it that tortured her daughter into what she is now? She must figure it out!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhou increased the strength of the handshake.
This strength seemed to greatly comfort Miss Zhou, so the struggle in her brows and eyes eased, and she showed a peaceful demeanor again.
Zhuang Li said slowly: "Now, I will walk down with you, pay attention to counting the steps, when we reach ten, we will be able to reach the end of the road, and I will let go of your hand.
"When I let go of you, your arms will naturally drop, which is a signal that you are becoming more and more relaxed.
"You're in a deeper, more complete state of relaxation as your hands fall gently and slowly onto your legs."
Zhuang Li paused for a moment to prepare Miss Zhou to go down, and then began to count slowly: "Okay, let's take a step together, take a deep breath as we walk, exhale every time you lift your leg, and inhale every time you land. Breathe deeply.
"Count with me: one, we go down the steps; two, we walk down slowly; three, candles will light up in front of the dark steps to guide us; four, the more we walk, the more stable we are. , going deeper and deeper; five, we are halfway through, our body is falling, lightly; six..."
Zhuang Li's voice has always maintained a state of neither hurried nor slow, neither high nor low, but deep and gentle, like a flowing hot spring, quietly wrapping everyone's eardrums.
Not only did Miss Zhou show a calm and peaceful attitude, but even Mrs. Zhou, who was sitting beside the chaise longue, almost fell asleep with her forehead supported.
The two maids staggered back and forth and fell asleep standing up.
Master Zhou rubbed his eyes again and again, and then poured tea.
Zhuang Jiuge knocked his head on his knees and fell asleep silently.
The combination of Zhuang Li's slow voice and the monotonous sound of water droplets produced a hypnotic effect that was stronger than that of the drug.
At the same time, King Qi, who was standing at the door, also started to nod his head, but he held his eyelids tenaciously. He wanted to sleep very much, but he couldn't hold back his curiosity, and wanted to continue to listen to the whole process of Mr.
It's very strange. In the past, as long as he could fall asleep, he would immediately put down what he was doing and find a safe place to sleep. But now, he is reluctant to fall into a state of unconsciousness, because then he can no longer hear the whispers of the little gentleman.
Several guards wanted to help the prince lie down, but did not dare to interrupt his brewing drowsiness. In the end, they could only stand there stiffly.
In the elegant room next door, Zhuang Li finally counted to ten, and then increased his tone: "Now, we have come to the end, a door appears in front of us, I want you to let go of my hand and push the door open. Stay, as your hand falls lightly on your lap, you go into a state of complete relaxation, and you go through this door into your past."
Following his guidance, Mrs. Zhou reluctantly let go of her daughter's hand.
Miss Zhou's hand slowly fell back to her lap, and then her expression became completely holy and pure white, like a carefree angel, flying in the hall of fairy sound.
This strange phenomenon happens to everyone who goes into deep hypnosis.
No matter how vulgar and cruel this person is in reality, when he enters deep hypnosis, the dirt in his soul will be washed away, and he will show nobility and grace that ordinary people can't imagine.
Every human being is born noble, and this statement may have originated from this.
Zhuang Li waited for a few seconds to give Miss Zhou time to push the door, and then continued to guide: "Now, you have returned to the time before everything happened, when you were very happy and relaxed.
"The sun in the sky is warm, the flowers on the ground are fragrant, and your heart is open and free, and a wisp of breeze that lifts your hair can make you laugh happily. I want you to remember Stay in this mood."
He waited for a few seconds to let Miss Zhou remember the happiness at the moment.
Miss Zhou really raised the corners of her lips and smiled like an innocent child.
She hadn't seen her daughter's smile for a long time, and Mrs. Zhou let out a half-happy, half-sad choked sob, and then bit her fist tightly, lest she wake up her daughter's rare dream.
The hard-hearted Master Zhou also had red eyes, and silently turned his head to wipe the corners of his eyes.
In the elegant room next door, King Qi had already fallen back and fell asleep peacefully, with a peaceful smile on the corner of his mouth.
Several guards guarded him like an iron tower, pressing the hilt of the knife with their palms, and their faces were full of alert expressions.
They listened to the movement next door, and they were in awe of this little gentleman who could control other people's dreams at will.
There is nothing more immortal than this!
However, happiness is always short-lived, Zhuang Li's voice sank, and he changed the subject: "Now, I want to take you back to the day when the evil ghost first appeared."
Miss Zhou had completely entered a state of deep hypnosis, even if the smile on her face was immediately twisted into fear, she could not disobey Zhuang Li's order.
So the beautiful scenery was instantly shrouded in endless darkness, she returned to her boudoir, curled up in the corner of the bunk bed, and wrapped her head tightly with the quilt.
"What did you see? What did you hear? Tell me!" Zhuang Li ordered.
In the dream, Miss Zhou hid under the quilt and said, "under the bed, there is a ghost under the bed! I heard it knocking on my bed board, bang bang, bang bang, every night."
"How do you know there is a ghost under the bed?" Zhuang Li quickly asked.
"It was Qiutong who told me, and I heard it myself!"
"Hearing is false and seeing is believing. I want you to go and take a look under the bed. Don't run away, take a look!" Zhuang Li's tone became extremely tough.
Miss Zhou couldn't disobey his order, so she had to lift the quilt, crawled to the side of the bed tremblingly, lowered her head, and looked under the bed in horror.
"What did you see?" Zhuang Li asked at the right time.
"I didn't see anything. No, no ghosts!" Miss Zhou, who was tense all over, relaxed instantly.
Mrs. Zhou, who was sitting beside her, was paralyzed like mud. She was really frightened just now.
Master Zhou couldn't sit still anymore. He walked to the soft chair in three or two steps and looked at his daughter quietly.
"Then why did you hear the sound of knocking on the bed?" Zhuang Li asked the reason.
Miss Zhou shook her head left and right: "I don't know either."
"No, you know. When someone knocks on your bed, you'll always remember, but you're drowsy, you think you're dreaming, and you forget when you wake up during the day. I want you to think about it, and you'll remember. Tell me Me, who is knocking on your bed? Or is someone knocking on your bed a complete illusion?" Zhuang Li guided him step by step.
Miss Zhou tried her best to think about it, and finally screamed: "It's Qiu Tong! When she was keeping watch for me, she secretly knocked on my bed. I glanced at her in a daze and fell asleep again."
In this day and age, the maid had to sleep on the foot beside the bed for the young lady, so the act of knocking on the bed was very convenient for Qiu Tong.
"She knocked on the bed herself, but pretended to be frightened, yelled in my room, woke me up, and said she saw a ghost under the bed! I believed her, I believed it! It's not the ghost knocking Qiu Tong is knocking on the bed!" Miss Zhou seemed to have realized something, and cried in agony.
"Qiu Tong said that evil spirits were entangled in me, and I believed it; Qiu Tong asked me to find a Taoist priest to exorcise evil spirits, and I believed it; Qiu Tong also said that the Taoist priest of Lingxi was powerful, and I believed it again. I asked my mother to find it. Daoist Lingxi, I brought a wolf into the house. Daoist Lingxi insulted me! He sent everyone away and forced me to…”
Rao was in deep hypnosis, and this terrifying memory was also pressed deepest by Miss Zhou's subconscious.
There was no way she could go on.
But the words she hadn't said, Mrs. Zhou and Master Zhou could fully imagine.
The two of them both showed horrified expressions, and then swayed their bodies to limp.
Every time Daoist Lingxi came to help his daughter, he would dismiss everyone, and told others not to approach no matter what they heard, that was the evil spirit at work.
So they never knew how Daoist Lingxi helped his daughter exorcise evil spirits. They only knew that after Daoist Lingxi came over, their daughter would become unusually well-behaved and quiet. Looking at it now, what is well-behaved and quiet?
In addition, Daoist Lingxi will also bring some of his apprentices to exorcise evil spirits. Before leaving, those apprentices also showed a satisfied expression. What did these people do to their daughters?
Mrs. Zhou, who couldn't think about it any longer, grabbed the front of her clothes and was almost fainting in pain.
Master Zhou gasped for breath like a trapped beast, his red eyes full of murderous intent.
The two maids burst into tears and sobbed softly, as if they were feeling the same despair.
Zhuang Jiuge, who was curled up in the corner, has woken up, listening to these extremely dark and extremely dirty things in a stunned manner. He thought that Zhuang Tian'er, who hanged the donkey's egg, was already the most evil person in the world, but he didn't expect that there was an evil spirit in human skin above her.
In the elegant room next door, King Qi had opened his eyes and sat up, with a chilling air lingering around him.
Several guards held the handle of the knife in their hands and gritted their teeth with hatred.
When the scene was almost out of control, Zhuang Li's voice became soft and soothing again: "I see, this is the ghost in your heart, you caught it, you did a good job. Now, I want you to leave this Dark room, go outside.
"When you open the door, you will forget everything behind you, you will walk into a warm sunshine, every inch of your body will be soaked with the fragrance of flowers, the breeze will twirl your hair, bringing a slight itch, Take away this painful memory.
"You look up at the sun and you laugh heartily. When you wake up, you'll be so relaxed, so happy. You'll forget all the pain and go on with your new life."
Zhuang Li spoke more slowly: "When I count to five, you will wake up. Now, I'm going to start counting, one: you open the door and walk out without looking back; two, you Stepping into the sun, your body is slightly warmed by the sun; three, you smell the fragrance of flowers and feel the caress of the wind, you are very relaxed and happy:
"Fourth, all the painful memories in your mind will disappear, leaving only the good ones. After waking up, you will start a new life, you will become strong and brave, and you will not care about the gossip around you or the weirdness of others. Look, you will live for yourself:
"Five, you wake up, you feel relaxed and refreshed."
As soon as Zhuang Li finished speaking, Miss Zhou woke up. She blinked her eyes and looked around ignorantly, then covered her stomach and said coquettishly, "Mother and father, I'm so hungry! This place seems to be Jin Manlou. Are you taking me to the restaurant?"
She hadn't eaten for two days in a row, so she was naturally hungry.
Seeing her loving expression and clear eyes, Master Zhou and Madam Zhou were stunned.
This, this is clearly the daughter before the tragedy! She actually forgot the pain and despair!
She just slept, and her time was completely reversed.
The scars in her heart have been completely smoothed out. As long as she doesn't remember that terrifying encounter, she can live happily ever after!
Thinking of this, Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou wanted to hug their daughter and cry, but also wanted to pretend that nothing had happened and smiled.
The two opened the corners of their mouths, but their eyes were red. They tried their best to suppress their sobbing and said in a muffled voice, "Yes, your parents will bring you to the restaurant. What do you want to eat, your parents will let the cook do it right away."
Miss Zhou sat up with the help of the maid, ordered a bunch of dishes, and joked that she was hungry enough to eat a cow now.
Mrs. Zhou covered her mouth and smiled, but tears were dripping from the corners of her eyes, so she had to turn her head away, pretending to be fascinated by the wind.
Unable to take it any longer, Master Zhou opened the door and strode out, wiping his face with his sleeves. Although he is strict and rigid, his love for his daughter is no less than that of his wife, but he is not good at expressing it.
Zhuang Li led his younger brother out of the private room quietly, dragged Master Zhou to a secluded corner, and said in a deep voice, "After you go back, you should check out that girl named Qiutong, she has provoked all the crimes.
"Also, you will tell Miss Zhou later that she has been seriously ill all these years and has been lying in bed and lethargic, so she is so weak and has no memory of this time.
"Her fiancé also broke off the marriage because of her illness. It's not a pity for such a person who doesn't keep his promises even if he doesn't get married. Let her not worry about it. The servants in the family should be in control, and try not to mention the evil things that happened to her. .
"Of course, even if I bring up the matter of Zhongxie, my memory seal will not be loosened, but if Miss Zhou becomes curious to explore on her own, I'm not sure what the outcome will be. So you should try your best to dispel her suspicions. Once she remembers the past, you can still come to me. After sealing it once, the second seal will be much easier, and the third seal may permanently erase this memory.
"Today's affairs will rot in the hearts of our brothers, so you don't have to worry."
Mr. Zhou nodded again and again and promised: "Yes, yes, I understand, I will pay attention. Thank you sir for your help to the little girl. I am very relieved to the gentleman about what the gentleman said. It's not a trivial matter, please be sure to pay attention to it. Take it."
Master Zhou took out a stack of silver bills from his arms and put them into Zhuang Li's hands involuntarily.
Zhuang Li was not a real fortune teller, so he didn't have to worry about the five disadvantages and three shortcomings, so he pocketed a thick stack of bank notes, turned around and left.
Master Zhou wanted to invite the two to stay for dinner, but the two refused to agree.
"I have to go back to guard my stall." Zhuang Li said with a wave of his hand.
"That stall won't run if it's on the side of the road." Master Zhou quipped.
"But the person I'm waiting for will run." Zhuang Li said seriously.
Master Zhou asked, "Who are you waiting for?"
Zhuang Li pointed to his chest and smiled softly and quietly: "Wait for my sweetheart."
King Qi, who was sitting in the elegant room next door, somehow thought of what the little gentleman said in a low voice yesterday when he parted - "I will wait for you here in the future."
So is he waiting for me? Thinking of this, King Qi's heart couldn't help beating wildly, and his pale ears were stained with a rare blush.
