So here's the question:

Why do zombies have to wear the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty in the zombie movies I have watched since I was a child? Why can't I wear something else?

After someone's in-depth exploration and verification, the following conclusions are drawn.

Zombies were a very popular theme in Hong Kong movies in the 80s of the last century.

In the movie, the zombie is always dressed in the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, with his hands stretched out, and his feet together like sparrows, jumping and jumping like sparrows, distinguishing the direction by human breath, and another notable feature is that the zombie can be fixed by sticking a talisman on the forehead of the zombie. Because zombies always jump forward, in the feng shui practice of Chinese architecture, a threshold about 15 centimeters high is usually erected at the gate to prevent zombies from jumping into the home.

But why do zombies always wear Qing Dynasty clothes? This can be analyzed from many angles.

First, from an economic perspective. There were many costumes in the Qing Dynasty, so the rental price was cheap. Zombie films are generally low-budget movies, for cost considerations, so the producers let the zombies collectively change into Qing Dynasty clothes, and some Qing court dramas or something, you can also run over to borrow clothes, maybe a courtier in a Qing court drama wore an official uniform and was worn by zombies yesterday.

Second, the perspective of film and television. The shooting effect of the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty is more in line with the image of zombies, because the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty are more straightforward, the color is darker, and the shape of the official hat makes the whole costume different from the Hanfu, which has a depressing and dull taste, so it is most suitable for shooting zombies. If you use the costumes of the Tang Dynasty, Ming Dynasty, and Han Dynasty to shoot, it is not impossible, but because the color of the Hanfu may be lighter and wider, it is not suitable to shoot zombies in Qing official clothes, but there will be an elegant fairy aura in it.

Therefore, when shooting beautiful female ghosts, they generally wear ancient Hanfu, and there are a series of classic female ghosts.

Just imagine, let Nie Xiaoqian wear the official uniform of the Qing Dynasty, what kind of thrilling effect should it be?

Third, from the perspective of literary history. The zombie theory prevailed after the middle of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty, there were more records of zombie incidents, more research on zombies, and more importantly, the rise of literary forms such as novels and readings in the Qing Dynasty was superb. Folk literature will make different explanations for such strange things around you, such as ghosts and monsters, and zombies are one of them.

These things have also been recorded in more books and folklore, and have been used in some of the current films. The Qing Dynasty recorded the most zombies, and Yuan Mei and Ji Xiaolan were the first to be recommended. The book written by these two can be described as a 'zombie encyclopedia'. Most of the zombie movies in Hong Kong come from these books, so it is natural that zombies wear Qing Dynasty clothes.

This is a joke that Qin Fen once heard, and he just laughed it off at the time, but if he thinks about it carefully, it also makes some sense.

As for the origin of vampires in the West, from a scientific point of view, the more reliable one is "porphyria". Porphyria is a term used to describe symptoms when heme production in the blood is not normal. Some of these diseases, such as dermatogenetic porphyria, which results in the deposition of toxins on the skin, are often sensitive to light because light activates these toxins in the skin. When toxins are activated, the skin is eroded and disfigured, including erosion of the lips and gums. These factors may contribute to the decaying appearance of a corpse, as well as a fear of sunlight.

But obviously, in the fantasy world of the Futu Tower, the origin of vampires would never be so simple, but Qin Fen didn't bother to get to the bottom of it, and most of his mind was attracted by the battle between the two below.

There is no doubt that these two people should be members of a big team, their strength is only stronger than Qin Fen, not weaker, and they don't know how many old fritters in the adventure world they have mixed in, their hole cards are endless, and their scheming cities are also unfathomable.

At the end of the short tentative period, both of them also played out their anger and entered the stage of redeeming their cards.

James howled, his voice was sharp and piercing, his claws were like hooks, he couldn't bear it, his flesh wings were bulging, and his claws stabbed straight into Zhao Feng's head.

The Vampire bloodline, which has been strengthened to the B+ level, has been able to give adventurers the ability to fly in the air for a short time, with a pair of fleshy wings and drums, launching attacks condescendingly, and the flexibility is unstoppable.

"To tell you the truth, I never forget your blood, and among the blood I have tasted, the sweetness of your blood can be ranked in the top three!"

James smiled strangely, his scarlet eyes were like bloody lips, coupled with the pair of bats behind him, the whole person's temperament was extremely gloomy, like a corpse crawling out of a grave.

Immediately afterwards, I saw this guy slowly raise his right hand, and on his palm, a touch of red light quickly floated, but it was a cold flame! What's even more strange is that there are slender faces emerging from this blood-colored flame, all of them screaming and wailing silently with their mouths wide open, which is terrifying and terrifying.

If the red flame is hot and unrestrained, then the blood flame at this moment is cold and gloomy!

“…… Bloodline! ”

The terrifying flame obtained by burning blood and life will not only hurt the body, but also burn the soul, and ordinary people will melt the skin and bones to the touch, and even the soul can not escape, but can only be integrated into it, becoming the nourishment and fuel of the blood flame, which will slowly dissolve in the endless torment.

"Sure enough, there are two brushes."

Even if he was dozens of meters away, Qin Fen clearly felt the huge threat coming from this vampire enhancer, he had not attacked strongly before, but like a black shadow hovering in the cave, the aura displayed was unpredictable and dexterous.

But he didn't expect that with the blood flame ignited, the momentum of this guy suddenly rose like a wildfire, and in an instant, it swept by like a typhoon!

James sneered, he inhaled deeply, and the black flame in his hand suddenly rose dozens of centimeters high with a "whew", and at this moment, Qin Fen only felt that the cold hairs on the back of his neck were standing up slightly! It was a tense feeling as if a predator had targeted the key in the dark.

Then I saw this guy turn into a blood-colored streamer and shoot out.

Zhao Feng, the young man with the wooden sword on his back, stepped back without thinking, and the position where he was standing under his feet suddenly erupted with a brilliant white light.

"Trap: Cage of Light! A special item that imprisons enemies while dealing 50 damage (double the damage against dark creatures) for 1~3 seconds. ”

Special props are usually not available in the store, all up to the adventurer to explore and collect on his own, or open the mystery shop to get it, such a trap scroll, to say the least, is about 2000 survival points, but Zhao Feng didn't want to use it here, just to block the opponent for a moment.

The trap was triggered, trapping the vampire in place, and then Zhao Feng half-crouched down, pulled out a very old single-barrel silver pistol with his backhand, and raised his hand to blast out with a shot. It's a handmade witcher pistol, and the bullets are specially made silver bullets.

"Damn it, I'm going to tear you apart!"

James screamed, and curling green smoke came out of the chest area where he was shot, and the wound quickly turned purple-black, and his powerful self-healing ability was suppressed by more than half.

"Open it for me!"

The black circle of light flashed and disappeared, and the holy light that enveloped James directly collapsed, and the next moment, James's left hand swept, and the blood-colored energy whip swept through the sky, and the black flames on the long whip were blazing.

Zhao Feng looked at James, who was killing madly, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he said angrily:

"You want to play, don't you? Then I'll play with you! ”

He raised his head, anger burning in his eyes, and raised his hand to throw a round of frisbee. Throwing props, Phantom Frisbee! Summons twenty Frisbee Phantoms that deal Piercing Damage to enemies, up to a maximum of 10 damage per Disc.

As soon as this round and lightweight prop made of steel was thrown out, it immediately transformed into a number of afterimages, and the rapidly rotating frisbee cut a sharp scream in the air, which made people feel dizzy just by looking at it, and James who pounced in the air only had time to knock away a frisbee phantom, and the next moment he was pierced by several phantoms.

"Flame of Darkness!"

James was pierced by more than a dozen throwing knives in a row, and the pain pierced his heart, and he couldn't help screaming, and he blasted the blood-colored flames on the frisbee in a rage.

The flames were monstrous, and a brilliant firework exploded in mid-air. The frisbee was destroyed by the flames, and it was nailed directly into the hard stone crack next to it, and it kept shaking, and there were already small cracks on the surface, obviously not far from damage.

Qin Fen scolded in his heart with great sadness:

"Damn, be careful for me, bastard, this thing can be sold for at least 2,000 survival points, you keep it for me, bastard."

Flesh pain is flesh pain, but Qin Fen also knows that these two guys should not have taken out the real hole cards, and if they jump out at this time, it is likely that they will not eat the meat, but they will be fishy.

At the same time, Zhao Feng changed hands and threw out two more sleeve arrows.

"Hidden Arrows: Origin unknown. Equip both hands and deal 20 base damage + 50% of the adventurer's strength to the enemy after firing.

James, who destroyed the Phantom Frisbee, let out a strange scream, but he didn't expect two sleeve arrows to be shot in front of him again, and looking at the blue arrows, they were obviously poisoned with blood and throat sealing! In desperation, he could only turn his head to dodge, and while dodging, he still used his long whip to knock the two sleeve arrows away.

"Terrible reflexes, though...... This guy is going to be out of luck. Qin Fen sighed, but there was a flash of light in his eyes.

Qin Fen, who watched the war from the "perspective of God", naturally clearly grasped the surging situation.

The young man seemed powerless under the attack of the vampires, but if you looked closely, you could see that there had been no attack on him at all from the beginning to the present.

Sure enough, Zhao Feng, who had always been in a passive situation of being beaten, suddenly raised his head, like a harmless husky from humans and animals, and suddenly transformed into a steppe wolf dripping with saliva dripping water!
