This paper mainly talks about how Muye Zhang did it in The Ghost Blows the Lamp, because it was really good. I can let countless readers, including myself, read it at school, thinking that the guy who wrote it must be a grave robber, otherwise how could I know it so clearly? !
Actually, I watched Ghost Blowing Lights later. Postscript: Tears fell when I knew the truth. Many things that seem realistic in the book belong to complete fiction, including:
1. The five sects in the Jianghu of robbing tombs, Faqiu, Touching Gold, Dismantling Ridges, Moving Mountains and Viewing Mountains, were all invented by the author, except that Captain Touching Gold only existed briefly during the Three Kingdoms period.
Touching the gold amulet worn by the captain is a completely fictitious item.
3. All the rules about the behavior of captain touching gold, including lighting candles in the southeast corner of the tomb, crowing lights going out and not touching gold, are fictitious.
4. The story of Zongzi is pure fiction. No one had ever called it that before the ghost blew the lamp. The author said that he could call it steamed bread or jiaozi if he wanted.
The list goes on.
It can be said that the core of tomb-robbing novels is the so-called? Tomb raiding knowledge? On the contrary, most of them are fiction.
From many news interviews that captured real grave robbers, we can see that these serious practitioners often have low education and low technical content. For them, robbing a tomb is a simple and rude digging for things. The damage caused by the whole process to cultural relics is amazing, even if it is written, it is simple and boring, which requires fiction.
Then it involves a problem, which is all fictional content. How can we make readers feel true and full, give people the illusion that the author knows so much about grave robbery, and even think that the author has done this work by the way?
In The Duke Of Mount Deer, Mr. Jin Yong used Wei Xiaobao's words to tell the supreme state of lying, and privately thought that this was also the essence of literary creation, that is, nine out of ten sentences were true, and only the key sentence was adulterated, which made people confused.
Similarly, a lot of efforts have been made to create this sense of reality in the novel Ghost Blowing the Lamp. For example, using real places, buildings and things as prototypes to create so-called? Nine truths? Give a few examples.
1, Zaghla Mashan, which is repeatedly mentioned in Jingjue Ancient City, is described in this book:
Anliman still remembers hearing people say that in the hinterland of the black desert, there are two sacred mountains of Zagrama, one red and one white, which are said to be the two sacred mountains where the sages were buried. ? "Ghost blows the lamp? Exquisite ancient city
In fact, this mountain is based on Mazzatage Mountain in Mo Yuxian, Xinjiang. Mazzatage Mountain is located on the west bank of the lower reaches of Hotan River in Mo Yuxian, and the east-west direction is located in the south of Taklimakan Desert, which is cut off by Hotan River.
It is composed of Paleogene red mudstone, gypsum, limestone and Paleogene red sandstone and mudstone, and is a red mountain range. The two mountains are shaped like Wolong drinking water, so they are also called red and white mountains.
2. The Japanese secret research base of Huangpizi Tomb has the shadow of Resident Evil, but the setting is that the author has personally been to such a Japanese invasion site, and the horrible scene in the novel comes from real history.
3. In Longling Cave? Can Xiangyu, who can wake up in a dream, fetch a good price? It's true. After being on CCTV, I have to say that the details of Ba singing are really good. The story happened in a ravine in Shaanxi, where Wen Xiangyu was only produced.
The legendary fragrant stone
At present, as far as our country is concerned, the fragrant stone is only found in one place, that is, in the deep forest of Micang Mountain in Hanzhong. This is a very rare phenomenon, and the second place has not been found yet. ? Baidu baike
Another example is to use historical notes and stories in strange books and novels as a framework to fill in new materials and use imagination to complete the key robbery process? A adulterated sentence? .
Another important advantage of using real stories as prototypes is that these folklores have been circulated for hundreds of thousands of years, and they must be copied and polished by many people, which has certain guarantee in story and logic. No matter how strong a person is, if you open a brain hole and fill in a bunch of things casually, it is easy to make all kinds of bugs or calls. Pit? This is crucial.
1. In the section of "Nuqing Xiangxi", Erjinping Mountain encountered various traps in Wengcheng. Organs, using the prototype of the tomb-robbing story of Youyang Za, are all tomb-robbing organs in terms of narrative rhythm? Wooden archery? The quicksand began, but we can see that Ba Xin added many novel elements to this framework, describing the ordinary process of breaking into the grave, full of waves and thrills, which is very interesting to read.
Judge Miao, Zhuang is in Gaoling, and Zhuang Ke has been in arrears for five or six years. Miao wanted to blame Guizhuang because of the official strike, and was lost when he saw that the warehouse was full of envy. When the monster asked, he learned:? A work has been a guest in the public manor for two or three years and has been a thief for a long time. Close to an ancient tomb, the tomb reaches Zhuangshili in the west, with a huge scale. Walk 200 steps into the pine forest and you can reach the ancient tomb. There is a tablet beside the tomb, and the words are indelible and unreadable. At first, we dug dozens of feet and met a stone gate, which was solidified with iron juice, and it took a long time for the manure to open. When it opened, arrows rained down, killing several people. People are afraid to go out. If no one else takes part in the trial, they will close their ears. Is to throw a stone into it, and every time you throw it, the arrow will come out. Throw more than ten stones, the arrow will not recur, and it will enter because of the torch. When the second door opened, there were ten Woodenhead and several others were injured. When people hit it with sticks, the battle will fail. Statues of soldiers and guards are painted on the wall. There was a large lacquer coffin on the south wall, hung by iron rope, with gold and jade piled up under it, which was feared by the office and immediately looted. The corners of the coffin suddenly rustled and sand splashed on people's faces. After a while, the wind was very strong, and the sand poured out like a piece of paper. Before reaching the knees, people left in a panic. Compared with the outside, the door has been blocked and a person is buried in the sand. So I thanked him in the same place and vowed not to send him to the funeral. ? "Fuyang miscellaneous? Previously on volume 13? corpse
2. A young woman in Xiangxi ancient burial tablet, Huang Yao used circulation to confuse an old three-legged cat to gastric lavage and commit suicide, and then laparotomy, which comes from this passage about Huang Yao in Yang Guang Miscellanies:
Between Pingliang and Jingning, there are things like cats. The first color is yellow. People shout? Yellow demon? . The domestic cat sees it, goes with it, drinks it in the river to cleanse its stomach, and listens to it before the demon. The devil licked it with his tongue, and his hair fell off and was eaten by the cat. ? Yang guang za Ji
3. Hiderigami, mentioned when I first met the blind in Longling Cave, is also a monster recorded in ancient traditional myths in China, which is said to cause drought.
Hiderigami's abuse is burning. ? "Poetry? Daya？ Han Yun
4. Is the mountain view in the coffin of Wuxia Mountain incredible? Draw the ground as a door? The organ originated from the fairy tale "A Good Horse" written by Mr. Hong, a famous children's literature writer in China, in the 1950s. Jump off a cliff and lay down your life. Organ, which is obvious, comes from the folk classic story "Meet at the Que Bridge".
To sum up, in fact, one tenth of the real content of grave robbery is good, and most of the rest is about how to find someone to find a way, the magical legends I found, the obstacles I encountered on the way and so on. These things, through the above-mentioned fusion of truth and falsehood, make people feel real, and naturally produce the author's feeling of extremely rich knowledge of grave robbery.
