Chapter 85: The Four Kings (I)
Tang Qianlin's reasoning won the applause of Na Qingjia.
Na Qingjia sat there and applauded: "Awesome, after circulating in the dream realm less than five times, you found a breakthrough, but unfortunately, you are still trapped here." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Aren't you also trapped here?" ”
That Qingjia was silent, and Tang Qianlin looked at him and said, "The reason why you expect me to find a way out of the dream realm is very simple, it is because you are also trapped here and can't get out. ”
That Qingjia finally had a smile: "Catching a thousand forests is catching a thousand forests, it's amazing." ”
Tang Qianlin asked: "It seems that you have been trapped in your dream for six years, but I don't understand, six years ago, all the Zhenduo clan was controlled by your dream, why is Suna okay?" ”
Na Qingjia hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Tang Qianlin, I don't know if I can trust you, but the matter has come to this point, I can only put my hope on you, I know that you are here to investigate the Nightmare Flower, let's make a real deal, I will tell you everything you want to know, you help me get out of trouble, and then the two of us will be even, how about it?" ”
Tang Qianlin shook his head: "Although it sounds very unfair, as you said, the matter has come to this point, and there is nothing you can do." ”
"There is no such thing as a Zhenduo tribe at all, it is just a fictional nation created by shamans in the past in order to protect the secrets of the Heavenly Stone." Na Qingjia explained, "The people of the Zhenduo tribe were originally Manchus, and they were just a group of devout Heavenly Stone worshippers who were selected to protect the secrets of the Heavenly Stone. ”
Originally, Hongtutun was just a low mountain, and it was only after being hit by meteorites in ancient times that such a basin was formed in the mountain.
Shamanism is derived from the worship of nature, which in turn originates from the ten elements of heaven, earth, sun, moon, stars, thunder, wind, mountains, forests, and water.
And among all these elements, there is an important thing, and that is fire.
There is no doubt that in the process of forming the red clay tun, all the eleven most important elements for shamanism were present, and the most important thing when meteorites fell from the sky also brought fire.
The Manchus, like other ethnic groups, also have legends of heroes stealing fire from the gods, known as "Toa Nduli", in the Manchu language "Toa" refers to fire, and "Nduli" refers to gods.
Hongtutun, which occupies these eleven elements, has naturally become a sacred place in shamanism, and is known as a place that can connect the human world with the heavenly gods.
"On the day I became an adult, my father called me to the dark room of my house and passed me a map of sheepskin, on which he said the location of the Shaman's Spirit Palace. ”
Tang Qianlin was shocked when he heard this: "What? Shamanic Palace? ”
Na Qingjia said: "That's right, the location of the Shaman Spirit Palace. ”
Tang Qianlin immediately asked, "What is the relationship between your family and the Ma family in Xinjing?" ”
Na Qingjia said: "We all belong to the four kings with the surname Han. ”
Tang Qianlin was puzzled: "The four kings surnamed Han? ”
Na Qingjia said: "That's right, that is, the four Han surnames of 'Nama Anyan', and later called the Four Kings." I didn't know it before, but my father told me. ”
Na surname, one of the earliest Han surnames used by the Manchus, the original Manchu surnames that changed to this Han surname include Na Shi, Na La, Na Mu Dulu Clan, Ulali Shi, Chalara Shi, Na Erjia Shi, and Mongolian surnames such as Na Lai Shi and Na Yi Shi who joined the Manchu people.
Ma surname. One of the earliest Han surnames used by the Manchus. During the Bohai Kingdom, there was this surname, and Qiu Yinbo, the Jurchen chief of Jianzhou in the Ming Dynasty, took Ma as his surname. Manchu surnames include Ma Jia, Fei Mo and so on.
Ann's surname. It also has this surname since the Bohai Kingdom, and the Manchu surnames that were later changed to this Han surname include Anjia, Anggang, Aningqi, etc.
The surname Yan, which was changed to this Han surname, includes the original Wanyan, Yanzha, Shumulu, and Nimaqi.
Na Weizheng informed Na Qingjia that since the end of the Qing Dynasty, their Mudanjiang family has been selected as one of the four kings with the surname Han, and these four kings will guard the secrets of the Shaman's Spirit Palace for the rest of their lives.
Tang Qianlin was completely puzzled when he heard this, didn't the Manchu Qing Dynasty almost give up shaman worship after entering the customs? Why do you want to protect the secrets of the Shaman's Palace? So what does Yi Mochen's family do?
In addition, why did Ma Yanqing's house and Na Qingjia's house have maps of the Shaman's Spirit Palace?
Thinking of this, Tang Qianlin asked, "Is the map in your hand complete?" ”
Na Qingjia nodded and said, "It's complete, and the location is under Jingpo Lake." ”
"What?" Tang Qianlin was shocked, he didn't expect that he would suddenly be so close to the Shaman Spirit Palace.
Wait, it's not quite right, if the map record of that house is in Jingpo Lake, then what about the map of the Ma family?
Tang Qianlin asked: "So, the so-called Zhenduo tribe, and even these people in Hongtutun, exist to cover up this secret?" ”
"The people in the tunzi are all hired by my father from Sichuan, and these people have experience in growing opium poppies in the past, and the private cultivation of opium poppies is just to hide people's eyes, otherwise, it would be suspicious to suddenly move so many people from other places." Na Qingjia shook his head and said, "Because this land originally belonged to our family, if we send people to be stationed here for a long time and do nothing, it will definitely make people feel strange, instead of this, it is better to make a mistake and let the mistake cover up the truth, even if someone comes to investigate, what they find is only a poppy field, not a shaman spirit palace." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "However, what you said is far from what Suna said, who do you make me believe?" ”
Na Qingjia said: "The reason why Suna said that was just to use nightmare flowers to cover up the existence of the Shaman Spirit Palace. Before you came, Suna had already brought five groups of people to find the Nightmare Flower, but in fact, it was just to let them crack the dream and get me out of trouble, but unfortunately, all of them failed. ”
Tang Qianlin pondered for a while and asked, "I still don't understand, what's going on?" ”
"It all started with a dream." Na Qingjia looked at Tang Qianlin and said, "Everyone has dreams, and most of the so-called dreams are unrealizable in the real world, and eventually become lingering obsessions in the brain. ”
Obsession? When Tang Qianlin heard this, He Chenxue's appearance appeared in front of him, which was the biggest obsession in his life.
Na Qingjia pointed to Tang Qianlin's forehead and said, "I know what your obsession is, it's that woman." ”
Tang Qianlin asked, "And then?" ”
Na Qingjia said: "You answer me first, do you think the environment you are in now is true?" ”
Tang Qianlin looked at his hands, touched the table, and nodded: "It's very real, and there is almost no difference from reality." ”
Na Qingjia said: "Now you look outside the door." ”
Tang Qianlin raised his eyes to look out of the door, but was surprised to find that He Chenxue didn't know when he appeared there, with a gentle smile on his face that he hadn't seen for a long time, and his smile was full of love.
It's fake. Although Tang Qianlin knew that this was a dream, he couldn't help but walk out.
He Chenxue took the initiative to grab Tang Qianlin's hand and asked, "Do you miss me?" ”
Tang Qianlin couldn't help but answer, and He Chenxue asked, "What's wrong?" Do you feel like you're dreaming? No, it's true. ”
He Chenxue said and picked up Tang Qianlin's hand and put it on his face.
The touch was so real, just when Tang Qianlin had the urge to hug He Chenxue, Na Qingjia spoke: "Do you understand now?" ”
Tang Qianlin nodded: "I probably understand, it turns out that this is the so-called turning dreams into reality." ”
Na Qingjia said: "Many years ago, Evil Sa and Broken Thousand Corpses came here to find Nightmare Flowers, and the people of the Zhenduo tribe fought with them to protect the Nightmare Flowers, and finally the Zhenduo tribe failed, but the Evil Sa gave up after studying the Nightmare Flower. ”
Tang Qianlin asked, "Give up?" ”
Na Qingjia said: "Yes, give up, they clearly told the people of the Zhenduo tribe that the nightmare flower should not exist in this world, it is a useless thing, in front of those who have lost hope, the nightmare flower is a holy thing, and for those who are full of hope in life, the nightmare flower is as terrible as opium." ”
Tang Qianlin shook his head: "I don't understand, what does this mean?" ”
"Nightmare flowers can make people's dreams come true, and there are two types, one is short-lived and the other is permanent." "If you just want to make your dreams come true and give yourself psychological comfort, you just need to pluck a petal, put it in your mouth, and when you fall asleep, you can do whatever you want in your dreams within eight hours of real time. ”
Tang Qianlin asked, "What if you want it permanently?" ”
Na Qingjia said: "Just like me, eat the whole nightmare flower, so that you can control everyone sleeping around you, just like I can control your dreams, but if you have the petals of the nightmare flower in your mouth, you and my dreams will collide, if you don't resist, I have to keep you in the dream, after eight hours of real time, although you will wake up, will you maintain the state in the dream?" ”
Tang Qianlin asked, "What does it mean to maintain the state in your dreams?" ”
Na Qingjia said: "Suna is an example, although she woke up back then, she will always stay at the age of 26, and her emotions and thinking will always stay at the age of 26, and there will be no change. ”
Tang Qianlin still shook his head: "I don't quite understand, what does it mean that emotions and thinking stay at 26 years old?" ”
"For example, if you want to figure out a puzzle in a dream but you don't solve it, in that case, when you wake up, solving the puzzle will become a never-ending obsession for you, and in the following days, you will involuntarily continue to solve the puzzle. ”
Tang Qianlin seemed to understand: "Just like Suna, she wants to unlock the secret of the Nightmare Flower, who knows that after waking up from the dream, she returned to the real world, and everything she has done over the years is to unlock the secret of the Nightmare Flower?" Nothing else? ”
Na Qingjia nodded and said, "Yes, that's it." ”
Tang Qianlin said: "Isn't it possible for people to do whatever they want in their dreams? ”
Na Qingjia said: "But dreams are based on reality, just like driving a car, if you can drive a car in reality, then you will also drive in a dream, but in reality, if you don't know how to drive a car, and you don't know about cars, even in a dream, you can control the dream and make yourself feel that you can drive a car, but in fact you don't know about cars, and the so-called driving of a car is only according to your imagination." It's the same as solving a puzzle. ”
As he spoke, Na Qingjia wrote a series of English on the table with a pen and paper: "Can you understand what I wrote?" ”
Tang Qianlin nodded and said, "I can understand." ”
Na Qingjia said: "The English I wrote just now is all randomly pieced together, there is no meaning at all, you can understand it, but I hope you can understand it, and what you understand is also what I want you to understand." ”
As he spoke, Na Qingjia wrote another paragraph in English: "Can you understand this English?" ”
Tang Qianlin shook his head: "I don't understand." ”
Na Qingjia said: "This English is a piece of English that I found out from your memories that you have read in the real world, and the words you can't read in the real world can't be read in your dreams." ”
