"In the past, the locals here called the shadows in these stones Milotuo." said the ghost shadow man, "We always thought that they meant that the things in these stones were Milotuo, but afterwards, through textual research on ancient books. , We found it wrong.
Miluo Tuo didn't refer to these things. Miluo Tuo meant the old grandmother in the Yao language. The Miloduo they were referring to was the entire mountain here. "
"Mountain?" I agreed.
"The mountain is the old grandmother, and these shadows are the children born by the old grandmother. When we arrived here, the Yao people were not yet fully civilized. They still attached great importance to the taboo parts of their own culture.
When we were investigating at that time, we discovered that some of the best adult hunters here will have a strange tattoo on their bodies when they grow up. The tattoo is an animal that resembles a unicorn. We did a deep reversal of this behavior in the early stage.
Through their evolution of the tattoo and some legends, we found that the origin of this tattoo has two key points. "
The first point is the tattoo masters from the Han nationality. In their legends, the old man remembers that someone said that their tattoos were not like this at the beginning. Both the tattoo technique and the shape of the tattoo are very simple and primitive.
Later, a Han tattoo master came and taught here slowly. The tattoo finally became like this.
When this Han tattoo master came to Banai, according to their speculation, it should be during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
There is very little information about him. There is only one legend that mentions that he came in evasion, which cannot be verified.
But this is not important. We first learned a piece of information that this tattoo was improved by a Han Chinese several hundred years ago.
So, no one knows what the previous tattoo looked like. However, fortunately, in their next investigation, they obtained some circumstantial information in other Yao villages.
Legend has it that the tattoo of Ba Nai Hunter is restricted in region. It is said that only hunters in the depths of the Yangjiao Mountain, hunting in that area, need to be tattooed.
It seems that the place called Giethoorn Mountain is different from other places in the hearts of Cubanai people.
Second, what is the meaning of the tattoo
Is it to ward off evil spirits? Their folklore experts rejected this statement. Because if it is a pattern of warding off evil spirits, there should be a cultural heritage in the village, but ask them that none of them knows the use of tattoos.
It's just a custom, and the patterns for warding off evil cannot be changed. If a master of the Han nationality modifies the pattern, it is simply a matter of genocide. It's not bad that this master is not stripped and stretched.
Many twists and turns occurred during the textual research. The textual research of that generation was very powerful. On the one hand, the true masters of the previous generation were still alive.
There are always clues to ask, and secondly, all kinds of old materials are slightly better than the current ones, so they finally found the reason.
That tattoo is a very precise topographic map, of course not in the current sense, but after the ancient Yao people experienced countless attempts and dangers on that land.
I found the safest hunting road in that area. This road is very complicated. In the era when there were no maps and texts, the ancient Yao people put the text on themselves.
The tattoo was just to record the route. Later, due to various historical reasons such as wars, the original intention of the tattoo was forgotten.
It has become an unreasonable custom. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, a Han who jumped into the Yao nationality, dressed in tattoo skills, improved these crude patterns, and finally became the current tattoo.
"So, the tattoo pattern on the Ba Nai Hunter is actually the route of the ancient road of the Yao country." I thought of the tattoo on the bottle of stuffy oil. I can't think about it too much for the time being, but I know what the ghost man said should be right. . We have also found out.
"Later we entered the area of Yangjiao Mountain, and gradually a doubt arose." He said, "Why do you want to write the route on your body, can't you remember with your head
In other words, if the mountain roads here are so complicated and weird, just don't go in. Why do you have to go in
If it is said that an iron mine is very difficult to access, and it takes one kilogram of gold to extract one kilogram of iron, why bother to mine? "
"Really so complicated?" I can't remember the details of the boring oil bottle tattoo, but I do have the impression that the tattoo is quite complicated.
"It is so complicated that it is impossible for people to remember with their heads or instincts. If it is not based on a tattooed map, one-third of the journey will inevitably give up. The road is too difficult to walk."
Ghost Shadow said humanely, "In this world, I am the only one who can walk the road without that tattoo."
They tried to find the end of this ancient road based on this tattoo, because they discovered that this ancient road has no hunting value, which is obviously.
The ancient Yao people spent so much energy to get through this ancient Yao road, it must be for more important things.
They were working on the archaeological project of Zhangjiagulou at the time, so they naturally thought of the two in the same place. They speculated that the site of Zhangjiagulou was chosen here, and there are very important things hidden in this tattoo map. What link.
So the team where the ghosts were in began to explore the ancient road.
But what they didn't expect was that the ancient road has no end, and the whole road is a closed ring.
"What does this have to do with this mountain?" The fat man asked impatiently, because the shadow on the wall has gradually faded because of the evaporation of water vapor.
"Don't you understand?" Ghost shadow said humanely, stepping on the foot.
We bowed our heads, and it took me a while to react: "This is the old way?"
"Yes, this ancient road has always been built against the rocks. Almost all sections of the ancient road are on the sides of the rocks.
And all the rocks on the side of the ancient road contain such things.
The whole ancient road seems to be a very complicated pattern of spells, enclosing the entire mountain here.
All these Milotuos exist only in this circle. They wandered extremely slowly among the rocks, but when they reached the edge of the stone path, they could no longer get out. "
"Yes, it's interesting, keep talking." The fat man seemed to be excited.
"This ancient road is like a fence?"
"Yes, it seems that the ancient Yao people are raising these things." Ghost Shadow Man said, "This is our conclusion, and some people further speculate that these ancient Yao people's roads are scratches on the rubber trees, and they follow these roads.
Cut off the skin of the mountain, these things are very sensitive to heat, so a stove was set up near the mountain road to lead them to the surface of the mountain to dig out these monsters.
We don't know why these monsters were created in the mountains, nor what value they have, but there are many signs that they did just that. "
"Could it be possible that all the beautiful girls come out." The fat man touched his chin, "This is so dare to be, I don't think the people here have such awesome skills."
"You haven't seen the appearance of these monsters. The green ones are like beer bottles. Even if you are a girl, do you get rid of them?" I couldn't laugh or cry.
"Those we saw, maybe they haven't developed well yet. When Bai Suzhen hasn't developed well, her lower body is not a ***." The fat man said, "Fat man, I have no taboo. Green is green. Anyway, it's not a hat green. ."
I shook my head and looked at the Ghost Shadow Man. There was no change in the Ghost Shadow Man’s face, and continued: "The question is, since it is a breeding, what does Milotuo eat?"
The ghost man put out the torch and walked back, "Wu Sansheng, you know what I want to say."
