Chapter 102: Mountain Ghosts

Ten thousand flowers listened to Hou Qiankun's conclusion, smiled and nodded: "I really let you say it right, second brother, this strange thing is Wu." ”

Hou Qiankun nodded, picked up the cigarette and continued to smoke calmly.

"Wait." Grimace waved his hand to the side, interrupting the kaleidoscope that was about to begin the analysis. "You don't have to pretend to be a ghost here."

Kaleidoscope was stunned when he heard this, and scratched his head to understand what it meant: "Third brother, where am I pretending to be a ghost?" ”

Grimace snorted coldly: "Kaleidoscope, you said that if this thing is a "servant official" sacrificed in ancient times, then even if he is a medicine man for such a long time, can he persist until he is made into a medicine man by the people of the Song and Yuan dynasties?" This is a difference of at least 2,000 years, how can a servant live to 2,000 years? You don't talk too much here! ”

Grimace Zhang's question can be said to be to the point, if this servant is the product of the last three generations (that is, the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties are the last three generations), then if this servant lives to the Kushan Dynasty, at least a thousand years or more. If it is the Para Dynasty, let alone two thousand years up. The average life expectancy of ordinary people in society is 70 years old or above, and in the last three generations, it is even said that the various cultures left behind such as Hongshan culture, Liangzhu culture, Qijia culture, etc., etc., at that time, the average life expectancy of human beings may only reach about 30 years old, of course, including casualties caused by a series of natural disasters such as plague, so it is basically impossible for this servant to live to the age of 50 years old, let alone how many dynasties have crossed to the Kushan Dynasty or the Pala Dynasty. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but nodded, and said in my heart that the grimace was really thick on the outside and thin on the inside, if others had been slid by the kaleidoscope.

I thought that the kaleidoscope would be caught off guard by the question, but I didn't expect that this guy actually smiled and waved his hand: "Third brother, you misunderstood." I didn't say this guy was an ancient sacrificial servant. As soon as I said this, I suddenly felt a strange feeling, not a servant, what else could it be?

"Could it be that you said this thing......" Grimace Zhang hesitated for a long time and didn't say what he was going to say next, his eyebrows instantly raised, and he frowned and looked at the dead body that was broken off by his waist and displayed in the ground.

Grimace smiled weirdly, nodded heavily, and seemed to understand: "It seems that the second brother and the third brother, you two can see it, I didn't say that this Wu must be the official played by the ancient ancestors." ”

"Oops! I'm about to split at this juncture. Tie Guan Liu on the side patted his head, and seemed to be a little irritable. Spare me, what the hell is going on, tell me quickly. ”

Kaleidoscope looked at Tie Guan Liu on the side with an irritated face, smiled playfully, and a helpless and mocking expression appeared on his face: "Oh, look at it, I guess all the Jiumen people in the audience know what is going on with this thing, and you still ask about it, or you guys who work hard are just brainless and uninformed." ”

Kaleidoscope's words are undoubtedly slapping me in the face, he said it for a long time I don't understand why this underground dead man can live for so long, I am also a brainless, uninformed person, but I am also speechless, I can only secretly wait for the answer to be revealed.

Tie Guan Liu was about to get angry when he heard this, but Grimace stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't you understand, this servant is not a person at all." ”

As soon as I said this, I immediately gasped, not human? Is that still a ghost? A motto from this thief industry suddenly appeared in my head: Anything can happen underground. I couldn't help but shiver at the thought of this, and my head was buzzing, and I was almost squeezed by the tense atmosphere and the terrifying face.

"It's not a human, it's a ghost? Do zongzi still look like this? Tie Guan Liu's face was ugly, he scratched his head, and said with the two people in his hand to snatch a little bit of his face.

"It's not a ghost." Grimace whispered, took a puff of cigarette and slowly exhaled it. According to ancient documents, another meaning of this is "to drive away the ghosts of the epidemic". This must be the ghost recorded in the ancient literature. ”

"Third brother, this ghost is too vulnerable." Tie Guan Liu asked embarrassedly.

Grimace Zhang didn't answer, but the kaleidoscope on the side waved his hand: "You have been misled, the things recorded in this ancient literature are indeed ghosts, but this thing is from ancient books, let's say this "Classic of Mountains and Seas". Originally, it was an ancient book of the Zhi Monster class, because what could not be explained was classified as a monster, which was the feudal ignorance of people in the past. ”

As soon as Kaleidoscope's voice fell, Tie Guan Liu on the side sneered: "Kaleidoscope, don't say that." Just now when we were in the mountains, we saw the legendary "ghost car" nine-headed bird with our own eyes, can you still say that this "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is ignorant? ”

As soon as these words came out, the kaleidoscope that was originally clever and full of words suddenly stopped, and "uh" was stunned for a long time without saying anything. The nine-headed bird itself is the "Classic of Mountains and Seas". A kind of monster recorded in the "Great Wilderness North Classic", this reality can no one explain, even a kaleidoscope.

Tie Guan Liu felt that he had made the most white kaleidoscope in the nine gates of Beijing, and his face was full of pride, and he squinted at the embarrassed kaleidoscope on the side with his eyes.

"Alright, alright." Hou Qiankun waved his hand on the side. "Let's fight the thieves first, there's no point in fighting here." These words are obviously giving the kaleidoscope steps down, afraid that he will not be able to get off the stage.

"Come on, I'm not going to argue with you about the nine-headed bird or not, let's steal this fight first." The kaleidoscope was embarrassed for a long time, and when he heard that the second brother Hou Qiankun helped to relieve the siege, he snorted and went down the slope and down the donkey.

"I continued what I said just now, and the third brother also said that this thing underground is not a person. Let's put it this way, this is actually a kind of thing recorded in ancient books, similar to a mountain ghost. ”

In folklore, there are many interpretations of the term mountain ghost, some say that it is a goddess who lives in the mountains, and some say that it is a spirit spirit in the mountains. But if it is said that the ghost of Chu Ci Mountain written by Qu Zi is close to the first statement, that is, the goddess of the mountain. In this "Mountain Ghost", the image of a beautiful and infatuated girl is created. The full text describes the heroine, the mountain ghost, and her lover agree to meet somewhere, and despite the rugged mountain road, she rushes over with joy. But the lover did not come as scheduled. In the wind and rain, she still waited for her lover infatuatedly, and even forgot to go home. Despite her infatuation, in the end, her lover did not come. It was late at night, and she returned to her lodgings, feeling sad and grieving under the wind and rain and the sound of apes. In the rest of the ancient books, the interpretation of "mountain ghosts" is that they are ordinary mountain gods, or righteous gods who have not been officially canonized by the Emperor of Heaven are called "mountain ghosts".

Mountain ghosts? When I heard him say this, my head was foggy again. Isn't this mountain ghost the goddess recorded in Qu Yuan's Chu Ci "Nine Songs"? This goddess of the Chinese nation has this virtue. I looked at the mountain ghost goddess underground, if you want to say that she is a witch, I think it is quite a score, but this thing is not at all compatible with the goddess Qu Yuan said "Dressed in grass and lily, riding in a Xinyi car pulled by a leopard, and followed by a big cat".

I thought about it for a long time, but I really couldn't stick to the edge of the goddess, and then asked: "Uncle Wan, is this the mountain ghost goddess mentioned in Qu Yuan's nine songs?" ”

Kaleidoscope smiled and waved his hand: "This is not that goddess mountain ghost, this thing is another mountain ghost." Do you know mandrills? ”

I nodded, isn't the mandrill a gorilla? After talking about it for a long time, he is an ugly gorilla.

In fact, to put it bluntly, this ancient legend is a kind of gorilla, because it is relatively more civilized than other apes, so it was called "Wu" or "mountain ghost" by the ancients. ”
