Chapter 122: Miao Village
But there was no chance, Ji Zhi jumped out of the bedroom, only to see Wangchen and Ling Feng sitting there drinking tea, looking at him with a smile on his face at this time, Ji Zhi didn't care about anything else, and said directly: "What about her." ”
"Gone."
"Gone? Where did it go? ”
"I don't know, she just said, I'm gone, nothing else." Forget the dust replied.
"Why don't you wait?"
For what happened, the two of them knew very well, although they also drank a lot last night, they still remained awake, and they had reached a tacit agreement that there would definitely be at least one person responsible for Ji Zhi's safety 24 hours a day. What happened in the room this morning couldn't escape their ears, so they knew what Ji Zhi was talking about, but they really didn't know how to answer Ji Zhi's final question.
Ji Zhi couldn't ask anything when he asked them, so he opened the door and chased him out, hoping to catch up with Ye Yiqian, but Ji Zhi was disappointed again, and there was no shadow of Ye Yiqian. Ji Zhi went back in frustration and asked Liao Qing for Ye Yiqian's phone number, but no one answered many times, Ji Zhi knew that his escape had broken her heart, and she might never see her again in the future. This became a piece of Ji Zhi's heart, and he blamed himself every time he thought about it, and Ji Zhi also searched for it in many ways, but Ye Yiqian was like evaporating from the world until one day......
Ye Yiqian didn't mention it for the time being, there was news from the research institute that although the virus was found in the cockroach's body, they couldn't find an antidote in a short time, and Zhang San, who went to YN (Yunnan), sent a message that they were in trouble and needed support from here. Ji Zhi was worried that Liu Bing would not be able to find an antidote if he insisted on researching it, so he had to support everyone. Carrying the Yellow Emperor's mental method to suck out the yin qi in Liu Bing's body, and leaving a trace of true qi to protect his heart. Ji Zhi's method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and Liu Bing has no yin and evil qi to invade the body. It's half the better, but the fatal thing is that the poison of the cockroach has invaded the eight veins of Liu Bingqi's meridian, and Ji Zhi's current ability can't pull it out, only by finding a way to detoxify. Therefore, Ji Zhi could only protect his heart and prevent the poisonous gas from attacking his heart.
There was a problem on Zhang San's side, and Ji Zhi felt that it was safer for him to go and help him. You can find a way to rescue Liu Bing again, and the most important thing is that Ji Zhi feels that something is calling him there.
Ji Zhi said hello to Qinglong, and took Wangchen, Ling Feng and Liao Qing to rush to YN. The four of them simply cleaned up, and did not notify many people, and went to Yunnan secretly, if it weren't for Ji Zhi's fear that he wouldn't be able to find a place. Liao Qing didn't bring it. He didn't want too many people to know. However, there are also benefits to taking Liao Qing, it is very convenient to take a car and live in a hotel, because Liao Qing's identity is the president of the archaeology college of BJ, what kind of professor and what does it represent, anyway, there are many titles, and there are acquaintances everywhere, otherwise it will be the most convenient to take out the identity certificate.
yn。 Yanhuang is the southwesternmost country and is one of the important birthplaces of human civilization. It is also a gathering place for the Miao people. In Ji Zhi's memory, after the Miao people were the Chiyou tribe, after the defeat of Chiyou, some of them were merged into the Yellow Emperor tribe, some of them moved elsewhere, and some of Chiyou's cronies fled the Central Plains with Chiyou's body and hid on a desert island in order to seek revenge in the future. This is why the Hmong are called an international nation. The part that switched to the Yellow Emperor is now distributed in the Yan and Huang countries YN, GZ (Guizhou), HN (Hunan), HB (Hubei) and other places, these people have merged with the Yan and Huang countries and become an indispensable ethnic group in the Yan and Huang countries.
The Miao people have their own ethnic habits, and the Miao people have their own language, which belongs to the Miao branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family. Originally, there was no national script, but in the late 50s of the 20th century, a Latinized pinyin script was created. Nowadays, most people use Chinese. The music and dance of the Miao nationality has a long history, and the reed sheng dance, which is loved by the masses, has a high level of skill. Miao people's flower picking, embroidery, brocade, batik, jewelry and other arts and crafts are magnificent and colorful, and enjoy a good reputation in the world. There are many Miao festivals, and the more solemn festivals have "Miao Year", "April 8", "Dragon Boat" Festival and so on. The Miao people used to call themselves "Mu", "Meng", "Touch", "Mao", and some areas called themselves "Ga Brain", "Guoxiong", "Belt Suo", "Answer" and so on. He called "long skirt seedlings", "short skirt seedlings", "red seedlings", "white seedlings", "green seedlings", "flower seedlings" and so on, and after the founding of New China, they were collectively referred to as the Miao people.
In the past, the Miao people believed in animism, worshiped nature, and worshiped their ancestors. The "Drum Festival" is the largest sacrificial activity of the Miao people. Generally, it is a small sacrifice in seven years and a major sacrifice in thirteen years. It is held on the Yihai day from October to November of the lunar calendar, when a bull is killed, the reed sheng dance is danced, and the ancestors are sacrificed. Invite relatives and friends to gather together during the meal in order to enhance the relationship and family harmony.
In general, ancestor worship occupies a very important place in Miao society. They believe that although their ancestors are dead, their souls will always be with their descendants, and they must worship their ancestors with wine and meat during the New Year's holidays, and even worship their ancestors at all times in their daily diet. Many areas regularly or irregularly hold ancestor worship ceremonies, in Xiangxi there are "knocking stick pigs", "vertebral ox worshipping ancestors", southeast Guizhou has "eating dirt", central Guizhou is called "knocking Balang", northwest Guizhou, northeast Yunnan has the custom of beating old cows. Among them, the eating of dirty in southeast Guizhou has been prevalent so far, and it is the most typical. Eating dirt, also known as the Drum Festival, Drum Society Festival, and Drum Tibetan (Guzhen) Festival, is held every seven or thirteen years with the clan (Drum Society) as the unit. They believed that the souls of their ancestors dwelt in wooden drums, and that the sacrificial drums were struck to summon the spirits of their ancestors to enjoy the offerings of their children and grandchildren. The chief priest is called the Dirty Head, and the sacrificial Dirty Ox is specially bred for this purpose. Each festival lasts for three years.
The main beliefs of the Miao people are primitive religious forms such as nature worship, totem worship, and ancestor worship, and the traditional society of the Miao people is superstitious about ghosts and gods and prevalent witchcraft. There are also some Miao people who believe in Christianity and Catholicism. There are very few Miao people who believe in Buddhism and Taoism.
Traditionally speaking, the Miao people often think that some giant or strange-shaped natural objects are a manifestation of spirituality, so they worship them and offer wine and meat. Among them, the more typical nature worship objects include boulders (strange stones), caves, large trees, mountains and forests, etc. In addition, the Miao people believe that some natural phenomena or natural objects have divine or ghost nature, and the Miao language often does not distinguish between ghosts and gods, or uses both words. In most cases, ghosts are considered to be abandoned or wronged souls and tools, and often bring disasters, diseases, plagues or other misfortunes to humans, such as the so-called Eastern ghosts, Western ghosts, sow ghosts, hanged ghosts, tiger ghosts, etc., which are called evil ghosts. The natural phenomena with spirituality are often considered to be good ghosts, with certain divinities, such as mountain gods, valley spirits, cotton gods, wind gods, thunder gods, rain gods, sun gods, moon gods, etc. For good ghosts and evil ghosts, the Miao people's sacrificial methods are also different. The good ghosts are sent and welcomed, and the sacrifices are more sincere, while the evil ghosts must be bribed and coaxed until they are driven away. In some Miao areas, man-made objects are worshipped such as land bodhisattvas, land milk, family gods, sacrificial bridges, wells, etc. The land Bodhisattva Miao language is called the land ghost, generally made of a few stones, the land house is mostly wooden or built with three stone slabs, extremely simple, located at the intersection of the village or the pedestrian rest place on the side of the road. The belief in family gods exists in some Miao people in the Sichuan-Guizhou-Yunnan dialect, that is, "family god" idols are set up in the home. The sacrificial bridge is popular in most areas of southeastern Guizhou. Dragons are also objects of worship and sacrifice by the Miao people everywhere.
Most Hmong people are devout in witchcraft. The main witchcraft activities include yin, divination, divine judgment, ghost worship, etc., in addition to Gu magic. Witchcraft events are conducted by shamans. Wizards are mostly non-professional. They play the role of presiding over the various aforementioned activities of native sex worship and witchcraft, and some local shamans also serve as village elders. In addition to being familiar with the method of sacrifice, most of the shamans can also tell the genealogy of their own clan, the major historical events of their own people and the routes of the source of migration, and are familiar with various myths and legends, ancient songs and folk tales, and some wizards also have the functions of singers and dancers. Therefore, shamans are important inheritors of Miao traditional culture and play the role of intellectuals in Miao society. In addition, the sorcerer also mastered certain medical skills, knew some herbs, and supplemented by scientific medical methods while exorcizing ghosts.
Zhang San went to YN to find a wizard through his friends, this wizard is very famous in the local area, has excellent medical skills, and the most important thing is that this wizard can do Gu magic.
However, after finding this wizard, the wizard has no way to save him, the wizard will only solve the Gu technique, and does not raise Gu, just after Zhang San continued to find the Gu cultivator, he somehow offended him and was tricked, Zhang San had to return to the wizard and let him be rescued, but the wizard couldn't solve it for a while, and he needed to go to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain to find a medicine, which is unique to the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, this Cordyceps must be a thousand years of Cordyceps, this Cordyceps is difficult to find, and it is even more difficult to find more than a thousand years.
Through the information provided by Zhang San, Ji Zhi and others came to a Miao village in Mingyin Town, Yulong Naxi Autonomous County, LJ (Lijiang) City, YN Province, and met Zhang San, who had lost weight, and the wizard Kua Duobao here. This village is not big, the whole village has been combined with various ethnic groups, there are some Han people, Naxi people and others, but mainly Miao people, its Miao culture is fully embodied, and it is the kind of quaint style, as if entering another world, and the noise outside is in obvious contrast, Ji Zhi is deeply attracted by the scenery here.
While Ji Zhi was looking around at the scenery of Miao Village, the wizard Kua Duobao looked at Ji Zhi from time to time, and no one noticed changes in his eyes from time to time. (To be continued......)
