In "Chen Qing Ling", why can Wei Ying become a ghost?

After re-reading "Chen Qing Ling", I realized why among hundreds of immortal schools, only Wei Ying has mastered the trick? In fact, in the 20th episode of "Chen Qing Ling", Wei Ying told the reason personally, but even his closest relatives didn't believe it. Lan Zhan thought he was joking, and Jiang Cheng even scoffed. The reason Wei Ying told him personally

In the 20th episode of "Chen Qing Ling", Wei Ying seeks revenge on Wen Chao after returning from the mass graves, and meets Lan Zhan and Jiang Cheng for the first time in the Yiling Supervisory House. .

Lan Zhan and Jiang Cheng attacked and killed Wen Zhuliu at night, but were overtaken by others. Later, they saw that Wen Chao's life-saving charm had been tampered with, Wen's disciples were hunted down, and Yiling supervised Dozens of people in the dormitory died tragically. Faced with many doubts, Jiang Cheng asked Wei Ying one after another:

"Where have you been these three months? Why did you become like this?"

Wei Ying pretended to be joking but answered cautiously:

"If I say, I entered a cave while escaping, and in that cave there was a top-secret book left by an expert from outside the world. , you can kill everyone after you get out, do you believe it?"

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes at him: "Come on, you have read too many legendary stories, right? There are so many masters, and there are secret cave secrets everywhere!"

Wei Ying had no choice but to smile and said to himself:

"Look, I told you! I don’t believe it.”

The first few times I watched the show, I was led astray by Jiang Cheng’s big eyes, thinking that Wei Ying’s words about practicing trickery were really talking about the mountains. Maybe he was talking about it. He didn't want Jiang Cheng to blame himself, or maybe he didn't want Lan Zhan to know about his embarrassment at the mass grave, so he was deliberately joking.

But after replaying the plot many times, I am convinced that Wei Ying is telling the truth here for three reasons:

1. The mass grave is Xue Chonghai’s lair, and The place where he was buried was a hundred years ago when the immortal sects besieged him in a mass grave. Before he died, he recorded all he had learned and excelled in throughout his life in a book and left it in the cave where he was hiding. This was the most normal thing.

2. Slaughter Xuanwu was Xue Chonghai’s cute pet, mount and accomplice. When Wei Ying killed Xuanwu in Muxi Mountain, he must have been stained with Xuanwu’s resentment, plus he gained unexpected gains in Xuanwu’s body. The Yin Iron Sword, the two of them secretly led Wei Ying to the cave where Xue Chonghai was buried. This is a common plot.

3. In order to survive in the mass graves, Wei Ying, who originally had no hope of cultivating immortality after cutting off the golden elixir, combined with his own understanding, learned Xue Chonghai's secret book and mastered the art of deception. It is also reasonable and logical.

It’s just that he abandoned the way of swordsmanship, and practicing the deceitful way will definitely be criticized by hundreds of schools of immortality. Wei Ying can ignore other people’s opinions, but Lan Zhan and Jiang Cheng are the most important and most important to Wei Ying. People close to him, in front of the two of them, Wei Ying still had a glimmer of expectation to be understood and accepted. He didn't want to go too deliberately to conceal what happened to him in the mass grave.

However, the matter was serious and even the closest people could not easily tolerate and accept his practice of trickery, so Wei Ying did not dare to tell the whole story of his practice of trickery. With the process, he had to reveal a little bit half-jokingly, carefully testing Jiang Cheng and Lan Zhan's attitude towards him.

As expected, Jiang Cheng sneered at his words, thinking that he was full of nonsense and not even half-truthful.

Lan Zhan refused to lift any pot, poking at Wei Ying's sore spots and asking him repeatedly why he gave up the way of swordsmanship. This was Wei Ying's unspeakable grievance.

This time the temptation failed, Wei Ying also gave up the idea of ??opening his heart to them again. From then on, he never mentioned the hardships of practicing the trick to others. He wrapped himself up in layers and wrapped everything up. The grievances and difficulties were all buried deep in my heart, but in the end I chose to resist everything by myself. The author's foreshadowing

Of course, encountering Xue Chonghai's hiding place in a mass grave and harvesting his martial arts secrets were the last step for Wei Ying to master the trick, but before that, The seemingly accidental events that happened to Wei Ying secretly contributed to Wei Ying's eventual becoming the ancestor of Yiling.

1. Inherited mother's acting style

Wei Ying's mother was a Zangse Sanren. With her "maverick" acting style, she asked her uncle Lan Qiren to teach her when he was studying in the Lan family. The color changes upon hearing it.

The Zangse San people would rather choose the servant Wei Changze than the head of the family, the head of the clan, because Wei Changze can put aside the world and is willing to accompany her to travel around the world, hoe the traitors and support the weak. To put it simply, Wei Changze is Taoist companions are very practical.

In the wandering life of Wei Ying when he was a child, there was probably no right way or evil way. As long as he could eat well and drive away vicious dogs, it was a practical and good way.

Therefore, Wei Ying's life experience since childhood and his mother's "maverick" and "not concerned with appearance, only practical" style of doing things have deeply influenced Wei Ying. Let him choose the most practical training method after losing the golden elixir, allowing him to reach the top in martial arts again, which is beyond the reach of others.

2. Yunmeng’s folk culture does not reject trickery and magic.

The Yunmeng Jiang family belongs to the Chu region. The Chu culture originated from the Central Plains culture, but it retains more It is Xia and Shang culture, and the traditional core of Xia and Shang culture is witchcraft and ghosts and gods.

It can be seen from the unearthed inscriptions that the Chu region has obvious cultural characteristics of the period of human ignorance. This is a Chu culture with a strong romantic color that is completely different from the "self-restraint and propriety" of the Central Plains culture.

There is a sentence in Ban Gu's "Hanshu Geography":

"Chu people believe in witches and ghosts and attach great importance to obscene sacrifices."

Not only during the Chinese New Year, but also during other festivals, you can see Chu people’s activities of exorcising ghosts and warding off evil spirits. For example, Nuo opera, a special program inherited from generation to generation in Chu region, was originally intended to drive away various ghosts and gods.

Wei Ying, who grew up in the Chu region where everyone did not shy away from talking about ghosts and gods all the time, must have grown up watching Nuo operas.

In his spare time, it was common for him to learn from adults how to expel ghosts and gods. What's more, adults only think about how to expel ghosts, but he, who has been smart since childhood, may have already started to think about how to use and manage ghosts.

Later, when he was listening to Lan's studies, he was able to say to Lan's uncle, "Reiki is also Qi, and resentment is also Qi. Spiritual energy stored in the Dan Mansion can be used to split mountains and reclaim seas. This resentment can also be used, why can't it be used?" Take advantage of it?" It seems that this shocking statement was not just a temporary thing.

Under the custom of "Witch Sacrifice and Ghosts and Gods", Yunmeng often has trickery and tricks used by the people. Even though this is not the mainstream culture respected by Xianmen, it is practical in Chu land, so Wei Ying, who grew up in the Chu region, accepted the trickery from the bottom of his heart.

3. Fortune tricks people, and with the blessing of force, they unexpectedly harvest the Yin Iron Sword and Ghost Flute Chen Qing

As fate would have it, when Wei Ying kills Xuanwu in Xuanwu Cave, he accidentally harvests Yin Iron sword. Without Yin Iron, one can of course practice trickery, but only low-level spells, and high-level spells still require magic weapons to enhance force.

In addition to the Yin Iron Sword, Wei Ying also has a powerful magical weapon, the Ghost Flute Chen Qing.

There is a lot of resentment in the mass graves. The lotus seeds that grow in the mass graves in one year are extremely fierce, not to mention the bamboos that have been infected by resentment for many years.

Chen Qing, like Wei Ying, is highly wary of others. Even the senior sister was almost hurt by Chen Qing.

Chen Qing is very powerful. It seems that Wei Ying is controlling Chen Qing, but in fact, as long as Wei Ying's mood fluctuates, Chen Qing will take the opportunity to interfere with Wei Ying's mind.

In the night-long battle, Lan Zhan pointed his sword at Wei Ying, knowing that Wei Ying had been controlled by Chen Qing. He swung his sword to kill Chen Qing in advance, not wanting Wei Ying to misunderstand that Lan Zhan wanted to fight with him. He duels.

4. Gusu Lan’s musical enlightenment

The tune Wei Ying learned while playing Chen Qing benefited from Gusu Lan’s musical temperament.

Wei Ying was once punished to copy books in the library for 100 days. His uncle named Lan Zhan to supervise, but Lan Zhan only needed to supervise and did not need to copy with Wei Ying. So in his free time, besides reading, he naturally Can study music.

Lan Zhan, who was already a little selfish at that time, would probably not mind playing music in front of Wei Ying. Firstly, it could clear his mind, and secondly, he could be regarded as a little girl who had given him a tune. class.

After the library was punished for copying, Wei Ying often climbed up the magnolia tree outside the window of the library to "interfere" with Lan Zhan's homework. "Interference" was just an excuse, but eavesdropping and peeking at Lan Zhan was indeed real.

At that time, Wei Ying only wanted to study Lan Zhan, so he would definitely not let go of Lan Zhan's music.

After killing Xuanwu in Xuanwu Cave, Wei Ying was extremely weak and still wanted to hear Lan Zhan sing music to him. This actually shows that Wei Ying is used to hearing Lan Zhan play music, and the habit can give people some comfort. and a sense of security.

There is a high degree of ideological recognition, there is unparalleled talent, there are famous teachers teaching music one-on-one, there are powerful magic weapons to bless the force, there are exclusive secrets of top masters, there are non-victory Actual combat exercises where death is imminent and life hangs on a thread, and there is also a sense of loneliness and courage when there is no other option.

The deeper I dig, the more I find that Miss Mo Xiang has made a lot of preparations in order to arrange for Wei Ying to cultivate the deceitful way. With so much effort, how could the Yiling Patriarch not come out of nowhere? reason.
