The Secret Scroll of Southern Yunnan: Records of Weird Events in Huaning

When the museum was responsible for sorting out a batch of newly acquired folk cultural relics from the southwest region of unknown origin (including some broken scriptures, strange wood carvings or metal instruments), Ma Annan had an extremely realistic and repetitive nightmare for many days in a row. In the dream, there is always a woman with a vague face wearing the traditional costume of the local Yi or Miao people in Huaning. She sings a heart-stopping ballad repeatedly in an ancient dialect. The ballad vaguely mentions "Elephant Trunk Hot Spring" (a famous scenic spot in Huaning), "Poxi" (the old name of Huaning), "Three Hundred Boxes" and other fragmentary words. What's even weirder is that a strange symbol on a certain cultural relic he came into contact with during the day will loom on the wall of his apartment at night, and he has intermittent sleepwalking symptoms. During his sleepwalking, he once used a red pen to accurately circle the location of Ningzhou Town, Huaning County on the map of his residence in Beijing.
