Chapter 11: The Legend of the Dragon Pillar of the Demon Capital

Yin Mo Kou Chu Hanbing stared at Ling Lingsuo who was smiling brightly, and looked at each other.

cough "I admit that our dear Shanghai has been called the paradise of oriental adventurers in many film and television literary works in ancient and modern China and foreign countries more than once, decorating countless mythical legends, and even more, such as a certain unscrupulous middle-aged uncle cartoonist in his famous work "You are dead, " in the prequel "Fist of the Sky", he even complained about Shanghai as the magic capital.

Well, the magic capital is the magic capital, but I have to believe that in this reinforced concrete city where even wild cats linger in the community and rely on the old ladies to feed, a dragon will be sealed, which is really too unbelievable!

I just wanted to grasp this old and confused non-mainstream and ask clearly, but Wang Hanbing on the side howled: "Since there is a dragon, then let's go and pull the dragon scales!" If you pull it off here, my brother is going to hang up!! ”

I looked up at the wall clock, and before I knew it, it was close to 2 o'clock in the middle of the night.

I said angrily: "Hurry a yarn" Isn't there an hour, it's only been a few hours now, what are you anxious about? ”

"If you dare to spread your affection on you, you won't be afraid" Wang Hanbing was full of grievances and resentful women, "Although the time is still a little, but it's also a matter to get it done early?"

I shook my head and thought about it, indeed. You can't say now that everyone goes to sleep first, and then have breakfast early tomorrow morning, and then discuss the plan with Shi Shiran, "It's midnight now, and in the dead of night, it's the right way to go out to find the sealed dragon and solve the matter."

However, I have always been a little skeptical of Ling Lingfu's words, it is true that after so many supernatural and inexplicable incidents, my scientific worldview of life has long been smashed by the ruthless reality, but to say that in the middle of the night to go to Shanghai, a city that is not even easy to find a wild dog, to find a dragon, this is really unsettling.

Ling Lingli was full of energy, and before I was talking to Wang Hanbing, she had already sorted out her little pink bag, and then climbed onto the table and dragged down the lazy parrot that was dozing off with her head buried in the chandelier, regardless of the half-asleep parrot desperately fluttering and resisting, and stuffed the parrot into the bag alive.

I was stunned to see the violent post-90s generation carrying their bags with joy on their faces, as if they were going on an outing, and then said to me and Wang Hanbing: "Go wow!" Sister, I'll take you to find the dragon! ”

"By the way, what about the kid?" When I went out, I suddenly remembered the idiot spirit, which tossed for most of the night, and I didn't see his shadow, although if he came out, he would probably have to scare Wang Hanbing half to death.

"The idiot spirit went out to find the spirit vein, he didn't think the effect of the spirit gathering array was good, so he insisted on finding other bigger spirit veins" Ling Lingli said with a relaxed face: "I guess I should come back tomorrow morning, anyway, if he doesn't look at that Asura spirit pill for a day, he will go berserk, hehehe, it's hard to be here,"

The non-mainstream has more and more potential for gossip, I coughed embarrassedly, and said in a daze: "Anyway, how are we going."

"Take a taxi!" Ling Lingfu replied neatly.

In my mind, the brave men finally formed a team and embarked on a heroic journey to slay the dragon.

It's a pity that the current situation is that a non-mainstream girl with unkempt hair and no spiritual power on her body, a waste material customer service who doesn't know anything, plus a squatting otaku at home who is burdened with a journal and a countdown to death, just called a late-night taxi and embarked on an epic mission to slay the dragon.

On the way. As the captain of the dragon slaying team, the waste wood customer service classmates have long been penniless, if it weren't for the squatting otaku who was burdened with the curse of taming and counting down death and still had hundreds of yuan won from the game room in his pocket, the most scummy dragon slayer team in history was almost wiped out by the driver's uncle because he had no money to pay for the taxi.

After tossing for almost an hour, the scumbag dragon slayer team in history finally arrived at its destination.

I looked at the scene in front of me in a daze, and looked at Wang Hanbing, who was also stunned and looked around.

In front of me is the intersection of a viaduct, located near the intersection of Yan'an Road and Chengdu Road, although it is the second half of the night, but this section is really a traffic artery, so there is still a continuous stream of vehicles whistling over the viaduct.

Elevated, street entrances, concrete floors, this is the land of the sealed dragon clan that Ling Lingfu said?

Wang Hanbing stabbed me with a broken face and said, "You say, is this post-90s really reliable?"

I rolled my eyes, and was about to speak, when the non-mainstream hearing was amazing, and suddenly kicked me viciously, and Wang Hanbing stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Don't believe me? Isn't that what you're looking for? Ling Lingfeng dragged Wang Hanbing down the elevated highway with a fierce attitude, don't look at this girl's claim to have lost all her spiritual power, but her strange power is not less at all, grabbing Wang Hanbing's collar, the latter has no power to resist at all.

"Look! There it is! Dragons sealed in the city! Ling Lingfu pointed triumphantly and shouted ahead.

In front of it is a large cement pillar that can only be hugged by three people, and this stone pillar is probably the load-bearing main pillar that supports the two east-west and north-south viaducts, so it is extraordinarily large.

This kind of load-bearing main pillar is in Shanghai, an elevated city with an extremely developed elevated skyline, and most of the connected places will have one such pillar to support, and there are thousands of such concubine columns in Shanghai. So there is nothing surprising about such a thick main column.

I rushed forward, and while rescuing Wang Hanbing from Ling Lingli's clutches, I turned my head and asked her, "Where are the sealed dragons here?"

"That's it! Under the pillar, Uncle is really stupid and incorrigible! "Ling Lingfu taught me unceremoniously.

I turned my head to look at the pillar, and I couldn't see the reason for it, it was unremarkable, except that it was surrounded by white steel all over the body, and nine golden dragons carved out of gold-dusted brass in the silver bottom moire.

I looked at it with tears and laughter, and then turned around and asked Ling Lingyu: "No, sister, don't tell me that the dragon I watered with metal is also a dragon clan."

Ling Lingli smiled and didn't say anything, just looked at me.

Judge, wind" Wang Hanbing suddenly had a frightened expression on his face, pulled my sleeve and said: "I seem to understand, is there really a dragon here?"

"You're making up for ...... I'm confused. Road! "There is a dragon under the crowd." How could it be that as soon as the words fell, my mind suddenly turned. A legend that had been buried in the depths of my memory suddenly came to my mind. This, this place, this pillar wrapped in white steel dragon pattern, this intersection of the north and south elevated highway This place does have a very famous legend!!

Among the countless urban legends in Shanghai, there is one that is the most famous, and that is the legend of the dragon pillar about the Shanghai Viaduct.

In the 90s of the last century, Shanghai entered the peak era of rapid development. With the continuous purchase of vehicles by units and individuals, the city's traffic situation is becoming more and more serious. In order to completely change the traffic congestion and congestion in the urban area, and at the same time, it is also necessary to plan the construction of Shanghai into a world-class metropolis, so the Chengdu Road Elevated and Yan'an Road Elevated Highways that run through the urban area have been launched successively, so that the elevated highways running through the east, west, north and south of Shanghai will eventually form a large pattern of "Shen" characters going up to the sky and going down to the ground.

The rapid progress of the elevated project has been very smooth, but when the project is carried out to the interface between the key east-west elevated road and the north-south elevated intersection, the foundation pile as the main column of the elevated road can not be driven.

The pile driver aimed at the pre-surveyed site to drive the pile, and after a few hits, the pillar was crooked.

Replace one. It's crooked again.

Changed again, crooked again.

As a result, the work had to be stopped.

This is really strange," the construction staff found a geological exploration technical engineer to check the geographical environment on the one hand, and on the other hand, they looked through the geological data of Shanghai and all the design documents. However, after inspection on both sides, no problems were found.

Although all the evidence shows that there are no problems with this geological and engineering point, this damn foundation pile just can't be driven!

Who would have thought that on this critical interface, the ground pile could not be driven down, and the main pillar could not be erected!

The project was blocked, but it was blocked at the intersection of east, west, north and south, and under the highest elevated main column in Shanghai! Shanghai Municipal and Tunnel Engineering Companies immediately mobilized technical forces to tackle key problems, replace materials, and deploy new instruments." Bringing together technical elites, clever stunts, after each showing their magical powers, but again and again, again and again, this ground pile horizontal and vertical is not able to hit the ground pile that can not be driven in, even if it is barely into a part, but it is far from meeting the design standards and engineering, the project has to be temporarily suspended.

As soon as the project stopped, all kinds of rumors emerged.

Some people say that there is actually a large area of quicksand underground, so the pillars are crooked when they are hit; It is said that when the construction started, they did not invite a master to practice the master, and offended the lonely ghosts at the crossroads, so these guys were making trouble to prevent the normal progress of the project; Some people even say that this viaduct should not have been built in the first place, why should the good people and cars leave the ground and go to the air to exercise, offending God."

This kind of feudal superstition must be dealt with strictly!!

Under the leadership of the leading cadres, the rumors that the viaduct project could not proceed normally were gradually suppressed.

It's a pity. No matter how stable the people's hearts are, this project still can't go on, and the piling point has been changed. Another "construction machine has been replaced one after another, and this foundation pile just can't be beaten."

If you want to change the location to connect it, the previous elevated construction projects of the east, west, north and south are gathered here, and now they are suddenly changed, and the manpower and material resources consumed are simply incalculable!

For a long time, there has been a practice among construction workers that if anything in the world cannot be explained by scientific means, then it has to be explained by metaphysics, which is one of the reasons why Feng Shui was so popular in the old days.

So, I don't know who came up with the idea. Then, with the tacit consent of the leader, someone went to the famous Jade Buddha Temple in Shanghai to consult a great monk. The old monk came to the east and west elevated road and the north and south elevated road intersection construction site to carefully inspect, pondered for a long time, and then said, this place is the "dragon vein" place, there is a dragon sleeping with this, and now this pile is beaten down, is hitting the dragon's back, the dragon can not eat pain, and then the back of the arch, suddenly the ground pile to be knocked down to be crooked.

This, it's just a fantasy!!

Everyone just thought that the old monk was crazy, but the old monk said something next.

The old monk sighed and said that he had lived in Shanghai for many years, and he felt the incense of the local people to share the Buddha, and this north-south elevated municipal project is a major event for the benefit of the whole city. So now the crux of the problem has been clarified, and the solution is to perform some rituals and ask the gods and spirits to give up the place for piling.

After the old monk finished speaking, he sighed and said that he had broken through the heavens, and he was afraid that he would not have many days in the world. He is willing to benefit the people of Shanghai and make a modest contribution to the construction of Shanghai for a long time.

According to the old monk's method, it is necessary to make a plate of nine silver-bottomed gold dragons within seven days, and the monk will recite the Seven Heavenly Sutras.

When this almost mythical solution was proposed, it was immediately questioned by the engineering leaders in charge. However, after questioning and accountability, this project cannot always be delayed, right? So in the end, under the idea of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, the leaders said that they were completely unaware of this matter, and implied that the people below should handle it by themselves.

Since there was acquiescence, everyone had to follow the old monk's method to prepare to stop.

The old monk silently chose an auspicious day, and everyone followed his instructions and prepared to stop. The master burns incense and prays, acts one by one, and after the deed is done, he can drive piles at a certain time and a certain moment, and then never return. Although the engineering and technical personnel were confused, they were also tempted to gather their minds and follow the instructions. Who knew that after this and this, the ground pile was actually driven down, impartial, fully in line with the design standards, and the north-south and east-west viaducts were tightly seamless.

Three days later, it was reported that the old monk returned to the temple and passed away in a few days.

As for the arrangement of the old monk's practice that day, only a few leaders and the person in charge of the project were handed down, and repeated instructions were kept secret, so outsiders had no way to know the details, and the only trace that could be seen was that the huge round pillar poured on the ground pile at the interface was surrounded by white steel and installed with dragon-shaped ornaments, as a prayer for the gods and spirits who helped the piling success.

This is the story of the "Shanghai Yan'an Road Elevated Silver Bottom Gold Dragon Pillar", which is still occasionally circulated in various alleys!
