Chapter 126: Demon Tower (D)
What's even more ironic is that someone revealed that the vats dug up at the site at that time were not four, but six, and it is estimated that Associate Researcher Qian felt that it was not good to discharge, so he simply arranged for someone to secretly dispose of the other two. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Moreover, at that time, it was found that the number of baby bones in the tank was not consistent, there were five or six bodies, and there were more than a dozen bodies, which were also under the instruction of the Qian Deputy Research Institute, and they were re-tossed into nine bodies in each cylinder. As soon as this detail came out, it showed that Associate Researcher Qian had long known that this was not a living sacrifice tomb at all, but a new archaeological discovery artificially created.
However, Associate Researcher Qian resolutely refused to admit these facts, and wrote a letter to the discipline inspection department, saying that he was framed by his colleagues and leaders because of his academic discoveries. But it didn't take long for another discovery to completely knock Associate Researcher Qian into the abyss of no return. Some scholars have dug up the county chronicles of the Ming Dynasty, which clearly records that during the Apocalypse, a serious epidemic broke out in many villages outside the capital, leaving ten rooms empty, and it lasted for many years. Every year, a large number of dead bodies are abandoned in the wilderness.
At that time, the monks of several Buddhist temples in Xishan went to the capital to give alms, and raised some money and materials every year to bury these bones. They also specially burned dozens of large vats, engraved death spells on the cylinders, put all the corpses of adult children into the vats, and buried them after exceeding, praying that they would enter the reincarnation as soon as possible and not have resentment.
And the west bank of the Jingxi Canal, since ancient times is the place where the rich eunuchs of the capital are buried, there are many eunuchs buried there, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the world was in turmoil, the Manchu Eight Banners Iron Cavalry crossed the Great Wall from the grassland several times to the south to plunder, and also surrounded the city of Beijing, many villages in the west of Beijing are empty, not to mention the guards of the tombs, and finally that piece became a mass grave post, and the monk's death curse corpse bone tank was also buried in that area.
These are the historical facts written in black and white in the county annals, and Associate Researcher Qian finally resigned and lived in seclusion, and this farce of the great discovery of the sacrifice came to an end. But after all, it is a scandal in the academic world, and everyone takes it after dinner to denounce two sentences, and they don't mention it anymore, which is not a glorious thing, and many people still have a sense of sadness about the death of rabbits and foxes.
Hearing Lao Xu say this, my heart suddenly cooled, I thought that there was a bad formation there, which was the cause of the unrest of the tower, but I never thought that all this was an academic scam. If this is the case, and the strange things in the tower are not directly related to what has been buried below, so what is the problem? Suddenly, I realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked him: "Lao Xu, that associate researcher Qian is doing fraud there, and he won't dig a pit five or six meters deep, right? What is he digging?"
When Lao Xu heard me say this, he smiled: "Lao Chang, you are well-informed enough, you know this, in the process of cleaning up the tomb of the eunuch, a stone carving more than two meters high was found below, a typical Yuan Dynasty style, you see this is it." As he spoke, he took out a few photos from the file and handed them to me.
I picked it up and saw that it was indeed a lying pit on its stomach, with a big mouth flush with the ground, closed eyes, tilted head, as if dozing off, and looked naΓ―ve. Lao Xu continued, "There is a legend that our Beijing City was planned and built by the monk Daoyan with the help of Kublai Khan. In order to solve the problem of heavy water in the rainy season, Dao Yan used artificial lakes to store water and rebuild the river channel to dredge, and on the other hand, he chiseled twelve large pit pit to suppress the river demon. β
I nodded, "I've heard this legend, but I don't know if it's true?"
"The wisdom of our ancestors has not been passed down much, and you think it is a legend, but it is true, I have seen four with my own eyes. In the autumn of 55 years, a brick factory was built by the Yongding River, and one was dug out, exactly the same as in the photo just now, and the Shijingshan Cultural Relics Bureau moved it to their warehouse, but the Yongding River, which had not been flooded for more than ten years, was flooded in the second year, flooding three counties. In 63 years, Gu'an County in the south of Beijing also dug one, transported to Beijing in the spring, and just arrived in the summer, the Hutuo River was flooded, flooding five counties. You can't believe the effect of this thing. β
Lao Xu paused, and then said: "So there is an unwritten rule in the Cultural Relics Bureau, digging up the pit vid, especially in the Yuan Dynasty style, must be buried." β
"Where did you dig up the pit under the tower?" I asked, following his words.
"This tower is six or seven hundred meters away from the Jingmi Aqueduct, and it is estimated that the pit was moved later, and what we found before was by the river, so we moved a few hundred meters east and buried it again. Isn't the developer still going to build a building there?" said Lao Xu as he put the file back into the file bag.
The appearance of the pit pit made me realize that what the master of Baiyunguan said seemed to be correct, so although the associate researcher Qian made a fake archaeological discovery, he faked that he did not falsify all the excavations in his conclusion, and he was a person who had been excavating the site, and he should know the most about the situation there at that time, and if he went to him to learn about the situation, maybe there would be a breakthrough.
I asked Lao Xu for the address of Associate Researcher Qian, Lao Xu shook his head, sighed, helped me write on a piece of paper, and whispered while writing: "Xiao Qian still has a strong professional ability, he was also killed by the title, and he has not been promoted to a higher level for five years, and we can still understand his mood." β
When I came out of the Cultural Relics Bureau, I called Xiaolei and asked him to come with me tomorrow morning to Associate Researcher Qian's house.
Early the next morning, Xiao Lei drove to pick me up, and we went all the way to Haidian. Associate researcher Qian's house was in an old-fashioned residential building next to Peking University, and he knocked on the door, and it was a middle-aged woman who came out to open the door. Xiao Lei hurriedly stepped forward and showed his ID and explained his intentions. The middle-aged woman sighed and opened the door to invite us in. Associate Researcher Qian's house is not big, the living room is basically full of various historical documents and books, the middle-aged woman found two benches in the pile of books, asked us to sit down, said that she was Associate Researcher Qian's lover, let us wait a while, and went to the back room.
After that, there was a fierce argument in the back room, and after a while, a man wearing deep myopia glasses came out of the back room in a huff and looked us up and down. I was pondering how to say this opening sentence to ease the tense atmosphere, but Associate Researcher Qian opened his mouth first, "Comrade policeman, I don't know who sued me? I have been convicted of academic fraud, but I should not be held criminally responsible, right? Is there anyone who sues me for infringing on the copyrights of others? Won't I be the first to be the first to be accused of fraud?"
Unexpectedly, Associate Researcher Qian was quite humorous, I quickly got up, stretched out my hand, but did not shake it, hung in the air, and said: "Researcher Qian, my surname is Chang, I don't know whether your academic community is right or wrong, I guess it is thicker than anyone's arm, right? I came this time, but I asked you for some advice." Associate Researcher Qian was stunned for a moment, "Thicker than an arm?" I didn't expect Officer Chang to really understand these ways in our academic world. Haha, interesting. But one thing you said is wrong, I'm not a Qian researcher anymore, at most I can be considered a front and back. He reached out and shook my hand.
But I thought in my heart, ordinary people with humorous natures are not too bad in heart, listening to his cheerful energy of indifference to fame and fortune, how can it not be combined with academic fraud, is there really a hidden secret?
I briefly briefed Associate Researcher Qian about what happened in the tower, but I could see that his expression was getting more and more solemn. After listening, he sighed and slowly opened his mouth. "Officer Chang, I'm afraid these things that have happened are beyond your jurisdiction, and I'm afraid it's useless for me to tell you. β
"Researcher Qian, it doesn't hurt to know more about the situation, but I don't believe in my heart that Aunt Li fell into the elevator shaft and died, and the residents in the building all had collective hallucinations. I followed up on Associate Researcher Qian's words and expressed a positive opinion.
Associate Researcher Qian nodded and began to speak slowly.
Associate researcher Qian has studied the ancient Chinese funeral system quite deeply, but the more he reads, it is very different from many mainstream academic views, although he is also in his early forties, but he is a young man in this industry. Associate Researcher Qian is a person with a relatively straightforward personality who is not very good at hiding his likes and dislikes, so he naturally has a lot of enemies in the circle. He graduated from graduate school in his twenties and had just entered the industry, and by chance, he came across an unusual tomb.
Associate researcher Qian later referred to this type of tomb as a "living tomb" to distinguish it from the dead tombs of traditional tombs. It can be called a living tomb, there are several characteristics, one is that the deceased was a so-called master or monk who cultivated immortals and became enlightened during his lifetime, which is different from the cultivation method of feathering and ascending to immortals, they cultivate the immortality of the physical body. The second is that this living tomb will leave a hidden exit, for the resurrection of the body after cultivation, and you can still go out from this exit, of course, there are no burial goods in this kind of tomb, but there are many poisonous organs, and those who rob the tomb will admit bad luck and dare not enter when they return. The third is that refining this body is not corrupted, and there are often some evil methods for returning to the soul for immortality, such as using living people to make a leading pill, and every few years asking apprentices to bring new people to enter the tomb, etc., which makes people shudder when they hear it.
In short, in the opinion of associate researcher Qian, although this kind of living tomb is very rare, it has existed since the Qin and Han dynasties, stretching for more than 2,000 years, the earlier it is, the heavier the yin qi in that place, the more strange things there are, and the tomb of the Ming Dynasty eunuch in the foundation of the tower is already the fifteenth he has encountered.
Hearing this, I couldn't help but ask, "Researcher Qian, are there any refining in the living tomb you encountered?"
