Chapter 2: Ghost Stories! (Part 2!)
"Since Mr. Xie printed the background picture of "The Peach Blossom Spring" on his business card, he obviously loves Tao Yuanming's "The Peach Blossom Spring" very much?"
Su Bai wanted to pour a cup of tea, but found that the rest of the place was designed and prepared, but he missed the tea leaves for entertaining guests, because Su Bai himself had no habit of drinking tea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Very simply, Su Bai took out two bottles of orange juice, one of which was handed to Xie Yu.
"Don't mind, the first day here, a lot of things weren't ready. β
"It's okay, I'll ask the secretary to come down and bring a good pot of tea to Mr. Su later. β
Su Bai smiled, he didn't bother with this stubble, Xie Yu came to find himself, it was definitely not for his own business, otherwise he wouldn't have to go directly to the detective agency downstairs of his own company with such fanfare, he should have been entrusted by others or wanted to investigate something that was not very closely related to him, he was close to yourself, and it was just a social habit of a businessman.
Xie Yu took the orange juice in his hand and continued: "I am naturally very clear about "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", and the full text is also in my mind, after all, the contemptible people are people in the business world, and it is natural to intrigue and deceive me on weekdays, so after a long time, the more I yearn for the kind of beautiful world in "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring", which can be regarded as a kind of spiritual sustenance, of course, it is also my hypocrisy.
Mr. Su said that it was unlucky to print the background of "The Peach Blossom Spring" on a business card, and people would like to hear about it. β
Su Bai took a sip of orange juice, "It's actually very simple, just interpret it from a different point of view, "The Story of the Peach Blossom Spring" seems to describe a very beautiful and fictional world, but from some details, with a little subjective speculation of personal bad taste, it can completely become another meaning." β
"Well, I'm interested in Mr. Su's bad taste. β
"First of all, the fisherman is fishing for a living, he is a fisherman, in ancient times, many times an industry, often passed down from generation to generation, most likely, the fisherman's father is also a fisherman, so the fisherman should be very familiar with the nearby waters where he is located, after all, he is fishing in the river, not in the sea, if in the sea, there are many natural unknowables, but in the river, a local fisherman, the possibility of getting lost should be very small. β
"Go on. β
"When the fisherman reached the source, he saw the entrance to the cave. After dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear. The land is flat, and the houses are like '. In this scene, if you think about it from another angle, you can change a scene, whether the fisherman enters a cave or a cemetery? After dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear. Isn't what is described here the conventional construction idea of ancient tomb road design?
The land is flat and the houses are like that, how neat and orderly, we know that the ancient cities were indeed very carefully planned, and every place and line was meticulous, but these are big cities.
For example, on the map of old Beijing and the map of old Xi'an, there are lines and lines everywhere, and they are all very strict and neat, and they cannot exceed the rules.
However, the fisherman did not go to the big city at that time, nor was it a military town, he went to a peach blossom source, and the peach blossom source, in fact, is a small village, as far as I know, the village of the ancients, it seems that there is not so much exquisiteness, and the houses in the village are basically built around the ancestral hall in the form of intricate dwellings. β
"So, what do you mean, what do you mean by these 'flat land and houses' recorded by Tao Yuanming?"
Su Bai smiled and took another sip of orange juice, "In ancient China, there was one thing that was bigger than anything, that is, the tomb, there were many rules for the tomb, and the ancients also attached great importance to it anymore, and the construction of the tomb often had stricter rules than that of the living.
If it seems a little too unrealistic to describe a small mountain village with flat land and houses, then if it is used to describe the neatly repaired graves, is it very appropriate? β
Xie Yu nodded, "Mr. Su, I'm getting more and more interested in your ideas now, please continue, is there anything else?"
At the same time, the most lush period of bamboo and mulberry is May and July, and the peach blossom is March, and here, there is a huge time fallacy here.
There is a genus of good fields and beautiful ponds and mulberry bamboos. This sentence has a great ambiguity and contradiction with the Peach Blossom Spring, of course, there are also verses about the peach blossoms in Fangfei Jinshan Temple in April, but this is related to the altitude and climate, and the fisherman can not hold the fishing boat to climb the mountain, which is unrealistic.
Therefore, I think the real way for the fisherman to enter the peach blossom garden should be like this: he saw a place full of peach blossoms, and then he saw a tomb, he bent down and walked in, the tomb was narrow and then wide, and then suddenly opened up, and he saw the neatly repaired tombs in the depths of the tomb. β
"Then if according to your explanation, Mr. Su, the yellow hair is hanging down and the men and women are dressed like outsiders, how can this be explained?" Xie Yu asked, "Here, there are people." β
Su Bai lowered his head, put his face very close, and then deliberately lowered his voice and asked:
"So, what looks exactly like a person but isn't?"
Xie Yu's face sank suddenly, he took a deep breath and spit out one word: "Ghost." β
"Yes, ghost, the fisherman entered the graveyard and saw the neatly laid graves, and saw a group of ...... Ghost!" Su Bai took out two cigarettes and handed one to Xie Yu, Xie Yu shook his head and signaled that he would not smoke, and Su Bai lit it for himself: "Men and women are dressed like outsiders." Since Yun Xianshi avoided the chaos of the Qin Dynasty, he led his wife and people to this desperate situation, and did not come back, so he was separated from outsiders. Ask what the world is today, but I don't know if there is a Han, regardless of Wei and Jin.
First of all, what was the clothing of the people during the Qin Dynasty, I don't know very well, but the Qin Dynasty was destroyed in 206 BC, and the general existence time of the Eastern Jin Dynasty I don't remember very clearly, probably between 300 and 400 AD, which means that among them, there is a difference of five or six hundred years, and the ancient clothing style cannot change from time to time as it is now, but five or six hundred years is enough to change the clothes several times, but the people in the Peach Blossom Garden are dressed like outsiders, isn't it strangeοΌβ
"Why is this happening?"
"One is the sacrifice, someone outside has been burning paper money or clothes made of paper for them, and the second may be a kind of ability of ghosts, so that you can see what you think you should see.
Moreover, for five or six hundred years, the people of Peach Blossom Land do not communicate with the outside, they have been there to marry close relatives, what will be the consequences of the marriage of human close relatives in five or six hundred years, I think Mr. Xie You should be very clear, so, this description, logically speaking, is actually Tao Yuanming telling the people who read this article that the people in the Peach Blossom Land are actually not people at all, of course, the difference in accent is also a big doubt, there was no Mandarin in ancient times. β
"The fisherman may have been confused, or he may have been coerced, the article wrote, the people in the Peach Blossom Garden set up wine to kill chickens for food, invited fishermen to eat, set up wine to kill chickens for food, this description is very interesting, it is easy to remind people of another picture, that is a custom, a custom that is still retained in many rural areas in China, that is, to do white things, to make sacrifices.
Perhaps, the fisherman was eating sacrifices all the time, and maybe even eating maggots and insects.
Many Chinese teachers said that the fisherman was greedy for reward, but found that a small village levied a little more tax, and how much was the reward?
So, what is the reason why the fishermen began to do things everywhere as soon as they left the Peach Blossom Spring, made marks, and then went straight to the Taishou Mansion?"
Xie Yu continued to speak after Su Bai's words: "Because the fisherman may have realized that he had encountered a ghost village, it may have been realized after leaving, or it may have been discovered when he was inside, so he hurriedly went to report to Taishou. β
"Also, the peach tree, has the effect of warding off evil and suppressing evil spirits, many Taoist priests exorcise demons and defend the Tao with a magic weapon is a peach wood sword, the village wrapped in a peach tree, the intention, is also obvious, moreover, Tao Yuanming loves chrysanthemums alone, if he really wants to write a beautiful world in his imagination, why not write it as a chrysanthemum village? In ancient times, there was no habit of comparing chrysanthemums to a certain organ of the human body, so there was nothing to avoid. β
"In that case, according to your train of thought, there is a paragraph at the end of the article: Nanyang Liu Ziji, a noble scholar, heard it, and happily went to it. Unsuccessfully, the search for the disease ended, and then there was no concern.
Doesn't that mean that because it's a ghost village, no one can find it?"
Su Bai shook his head, in fact, thinking about it at a deeper level, I think Liu Ziji really found the Peach Blossom Spring, but the people who were too shou didn't find it. β
"Why?" Xie asked.
"If the Peach Blossom Paradise is really a ghost village, and the fisherman's entry is actually an irrepetible coincidence, then, normally, what kind of person can go to that ghost village full of ghosts?"
Xie Yu took out a tissue and wiped his hands, he originally wanted to wipe his sweat a little, but he still controlled it, "Liu Ziji is dead and has become a ghost, so he successfully entered the Peach Blossom Spring." β
"That's it. β
Actually, your explanation is far-fetched. "But I decided to change the business card." β
Su Bai shrugged his shoulders, "I think so too, I just think it's fun, you know, open a detective agency, if you don't know how to make a fool of yourself, you can't fool customers into paying for orders." β
Xie Yu put down a USB flash drive on the table, "This is something I want to ask Mr. Su to help me investigate, there is information in it, if Mr. Su is willing to take over after reading it, I can pay a deposit of 30% in advance and contact me by phone." β
After saying that, Xie Yu left.
Su Bai pinched the USB flash drive, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth,
On the first day of becoming a wage earner, business came to the door.
"I really have to thank Tao Yuanming for that ghost story. β
