First, what kind of story does "Ghost Blowing Lights" tell?
With a thousand readers, there are a thousand Hamlets. The same is true of "Ghost Blowing Lights", so what kind of story is told? In my opinion, it is five words: where did I come from?
The cloud dust bead is the main line connecting "Ghost Blowing Lights", which is not only the cause of hu bayi and other people's backs, but also the "medicine" that ultimately cures this disease. So where do the beads of dust come from? A giant snake from ancient times with a giant eye on its head.
Later, after the death of this ancient giant snake, the body formed a "ghost cave". Years later, it was discovered by the Zagrama people who migrated from Europe, and the whole clan contracted this strange disease.
Shirley Yang, the heroine of "Ghost Blowing Lights", her grandfather moved the mountain leader: Partridge Whistle, is a descendant of the Zagrama tribe. That is to say, in order to find the cloud dust beads, the descendants of the Zagrama tribe formed one of the four gate sects of tomb robbers, the "Mountain Moving Dao People" faction, the so-called "Mountain Dao people send ancient tomb dwellers, in order to seek immortal immortal medicine." ”
And the giant eye of the ancient giant snake was the cloud dust bead. Hu Bayi, Wang Fatzi and Shirley Yang, the process of finding the Cloud Dust Bead is the solution: the process of where I came from! Therefore, when they shuttled through the various ancient tombs, they took us on a historical and cultural journey.
For example, the JingjieGuo (Jingjie Ancient City) in the Western Regions, as well as Li Chunfeng's invisibility Western Zhou Tomb (Longling Labyrinth), and the Tomb of the Xianwang of the Ancient Dian Kingdom (Yunnan Worm Valley). If we don't know history, how can we know the present, why do we know the present, and how can we explore the future? From where I came from, I carried the ancient mark (ancient giant snake) - the totem worship of ancient humans, all the way.
Therefore, "Ghost Blowing Lights" is a fantasy space built up on the basis of historical and cultural heritage, not so much to say that the ancient tombs of the dynasties and dynasties are stolen, but rather to be painstakingly pursued, the power or "magic" of life at the beginning (ancient giant snakes, corresponding to our humanistic ancestors: Fuxi Nuwa, all of whom are human-faced snake bodies).
Of course, the above is only the author's own feelings, and the right should be thrown bricks and stones.
Second, why did Hu Bayi say that if he went to the ancient Dian kingdom, he would die?
People who have watched the "Longling Labyrinth" series know that at the end, when the trio of tomb robbers rushed to the tomb of the ancient Dian Kingdom to find the cloud dust beads, Hu Bayi said: When I went there, I am afraid that there was only one result, that is, "death".
So why did Hu Bayi say that if he went to the ancient Dian Kingdom, he would die? According to the logical analysis in the book, the tomb of the dedicated king is probably the most terrifying and dangerous trip in "Ghost Blowing Lights". And there are a lot of mechanisms that people expect.
For example, the author believes that the most wonderful "if it is not a natural collapse, it is difficult for outsiders to break." This means that if it were not for the Heavenly Collapse, even the immortals would not be able to find the tomb of the Devotee King. So what is a "heavenly collapse"? It turned out that during World War II, an American military plane crashed, and the ghost made the gods knock out the secret of the tomb of the king.
Therefore, Hu Bayi, Wang Fatzi, and Shirley Yang also got modern "equipment" in the military plane, and it was precisely because of these "lethal modern equipment" that the tomb robbery trio broke through the tomb of the king and finally escaped, otherwise they would not be able to leave!
The upper program said that this is the power brought about by scientific and technological progress. Because Hu Bayi succeeded, it could not be concluded that the older generation of tomb robbers such as Partridge Whistle were not as skilled as Hu Bayi. And isn't that also true of partridge whistles? He had practiced a sharpshooter skill, otherwise how could he escape in Blackwater City?
Therefore, from this point of view, the trip to "Yunnan Worm Valley" can also be called a collision of historical mysteries and modern elements.
3. What is the origin of the ancient Dian Kingdom?
It was around 1956, an antique dealer sent a strange bronze to the Preparatory Office of the Yunnan Provincial Museum, wanting to find an expert, give palm eyes, see which era this bronze came from, how much is it worth? After reading it, the relevant experts were surprised - they had never seen it at all, which was completely different from the Shang Zhou period.
Soon this incident was caused a sensation in the preparatory office of the museum, and the eight immortals of various experts crossed the sea. Some people have asked: Is this cultural relic from Yunnan Province? The subtext is, is it that there was a bronze civilization in Yunnan that was different from the Yin Shang period?
As soon as this idea was proposed, it immediately aroused the interest of many people, so they decided to find the antique dealer and ask him where this bronze came from. When the antique dealer came, he said with certainty: "From Liangwang Mountain near Kunming." ”
The next day, the preparatory office of the museum came out with a team of cultural relics and archaeology experts, and rushed to Liangwang Mountain. After a few days, he had covered almost every inch of Liangshan King's land, but found nothing. People are discouraged and speculate that it is a smoke bomb deliberately released by the antique dealer.
It also happened that Mr. Fang Shumei of the Yunnan Museum of Culture and History heard the news and told: "During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, bronze ware once appeared in my hometown of Shizhaishan. The complete ones were collected by landlords and others, and the broken ones were sold as scrap copper and rotten iron. ”
Shizhai Mountain is near Liangwang Mountain, and the archaeological team rushed to it when they heard the great joy, and sure enough, a large number of bronzes in the same style as those held by antique dealers were soon found here. But people are still confused. Because on bronze, there is no writing at all. How can this be discerned? Therefore, people's opinions began to unify: it is the things of the ethnic minorities in Yunnan, as for what era? I can only ask God!
But as the excavation progressed, a special bronze "reserve" was unearthed, which immediately caused a sensation. Because on the lid inside the diameter of 30, not only was the sacrifice of 52 figures cast, but in the center, a pillar coiled with two snakes was seen, which was called: Shezhu Pillar!
The so-called social pillar is a symbol that can only be set up by the ancient princes and kings, representing the power granted to them by the Son of Heaven! From this, it was determined in one fell swoop that these bronzes had a relationship with the origin and inheritance of the Central Plains Dynasty. This discovery surprised everyone, and they did not expect that in such a borderland, there was also a princely state - so which princely state?
Soon, a record in the history of history confirmed everything, and it turned out that this was the legendary "Dian Kingdom". After Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty opened the Silk Road connecting Central Asia, he quickly shifted his gaze to the southwest, hoping to open a road to the outside world here.
Soon after, it was said that in the southwestern frontier, there was a secret path that could lead to the outside world, and even reach the Tianzhu Kingdom (ancient India). Emperor Wu of Han hurriedly sent several people and horses to come, and one of them found the "Dian Kingdom" here.
When the news came back, Emperor Wu of Han was overjoyed, and let the yicheng who played the newspaper go straight into the court and personally report to himself. So-called: The southwest Yijun is the longest number, the night lang is the largest, its Western Jing Mo genus is the number of what, and the Yunnan is the largest...
That is to say, there are many tribes in the southwestern border of our Han Dynasty, of which the Yelang Kingdom is the largest, and to the west of the Yelang Kingdom, there are many tribes, and the Dian Kingdom is the largest of them. The people there are all haired and high-haired, mainly farming.
Therefore, Emperor Wu of Han sent troops to the kingdom of Dian, and the state of Dian submitted, and Emperor Wu of Han gave him the seal of the king of Dian, who still commanded the kingdom of Dian, and set up Yizhou County, and from then on, Dian was included in the territory of the Han Dynasty. Soon after the surrender, the ancient Dian state completely disappeared from the historical record.
Fourth, the "Yunnan Worm Valley" on the reserve
Apparently, the reserve vessel that cast 52 people to perform sacrifices was the key. For this reason it was named "Bronze Shell Container of the Cursed Scene".
And this sacrifice activity turned out to be the scene of the "Killing Sacrifice of the King of Dian". In the middle is a witch presiding, a snake on a pillar, devouring people. There is also a pillar of execution, which is being sacrificed by the living. Some of the people around them were playing songs and dances, some were slaughtering livestock, and the onlookers watched very calmly. It can be seen that this kind of sacrifice, which now seems extremely cruel, was very common at that time.
This is the reason why in "Yunnan Worm Valley", Hu Bayi, Wang Fatzi and Shirley Yang will encounter those figurines made of "wart techniques". That's why "Yunnan Bug Valley" is the most terrifying and threatening trip in "Ghost Blowing Lights", all of which is determined by the history and culture of the ancient Dian Kingdom!
