Chapter 57: Searching for the Grave
Lao Du couldn't help but ask: "I've heard the two legends you said, but what does that have to do with the tomb of the black concubine?" ”
"The relationship between Zhu Ying and the Black Concubine Tomb is in time."
I explained: "Legend has it that Heifei was the true queen of the Qing Dynasty's founding emperor. So, who was the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty? The emperor who named the country 'Qing' was Huang Taiji, not Nurhachi. ”
"The capital of the Qing Dynasty was moved from Xingjing (Xinbin, Liaoning) to Tokyo (Liaoyang, Liaoning), and then to Shengjing (Shenyang), and the country name was changed to 'Qing'. The legendary emperor should be Huang Taiji. ”
"The shadow of Zhu Ying's death in the Taizi River lingered in Huang Taiji's heart, so he established a sacrificial river platform in Liaoyang. But do you think that a generation of male lords, Emperor Taiji, will succumb to a ghost? Even if he took the method of retreating at the beginning, it was because he was not capable of suppressing Zhu Ying at that time, and once he had his hands freed, he would definitely try his best to prevent future troubles. ”
I paused and said, "So, I suspect that the tomb of the black concubine in the upper reaches of the Taizi River is actually some kind of prohibition to suppress Zhuying. ”
I took the pen and paper casually and said, "You see, the place where Zhu Ying was killed at that time was outside Liaoyang City, and his body was also buried in the Tokyo Mausoleum. After the Daizi River was renamed the Taizi River, Zhuying was canonized by the human emperor, so it was logical that he could become the god of Zhenhe. If there are more people who continue to worship, Zhuying is likely to achieve the position of ghosts and gods. Perhaps, he has become a ghost in the river, so that the Taizi River will flood year after year. ”
"If you want to crack Zhuying's ghost and god position, it's actually very simple, as long as you change the name of Taizihe, it's enough to destroy the other party's god position. However, what Nurhachi had settled, Huang Taiji couldn't change it, and he didn't dare to change it. Therefore, he could only find another way to restrict Zhu Ying. ”
"As Huang Taiji, it is not difficult to summon a shaman to get rid of Zhu Ying, the difficulty is that Zhu Ying is his own brother. In ancient times, it was important to pay attention to human death. If Huang Taiji suppresses Zhu Ying with great fanfare, I am afraid that he will be infamous through the ages. If you change the name, maybe you'll be fine. ”
Monk Shi couldn't help but interject when he heard this: "You mean, Huang Taiji sent a messenger and a shaman to canonize a concubine, and in the end, it was to hide people's eyes and ears and suppress a wronged soul?" Too much effort, right? ”
I looked at Monk Shi: "What if, if you want to suppress Zhuying, you have to sacrifice a person with the status of an imperial concubine?" In other words, what is special about the black concubine? ”
Monk Shi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment before nodding and saying, "Then it makes sense." You continue. ”
I picked up a pen and drew on paper: "Sanxi is in the upper reaches of the Taizi River, and the downstream is Liaoyang. If Huang Taiji wants to suppress Zhuying, he has to do it upstream. However, I don't think they would have placed the altar near the river, or even near it. ”
Lao Du couldn't help but ask, "Why?" ”
"I won't tell you about the theory of the art path, I will only ask you one question." I asked rhetorically, "How many times has the area along the Taizi River been developed and renovated since liberation?" If the tomb of the black concubine was built on the shore, would it still exist now? ”
Lao Du was stunned by my question. But he immediately came back to his senses: "You mean, the tomb of the black concubine is in the mountains along the Taizi River?" How much manpower do you want to use to find it, and is it too late? ”
I said in a deep voice: "Since the Black Concubine Tomb is to suppress Zhuying, there needs to be a suitable location. You bring the map. ”
Lao Du quickly fetched me a map. I pointed to the map and said, "According to the convention of place names, the south of the mountain and the north of the water are yang. Liaoyang is named after Yang because he is on the north bank of the Taizi River. Zhu Ying was beheaded before crossing the river, and he should have died on the south bank of the Taizi River. Therefore, the location of the tomb of the black concubine must be on the south bank. ”
I pressed my hand on the map and slowly pushed it up: "Here." If a straight line is drawn in this position, it is just above the south of Liaoyang City, and if there is a mountainous area here, the tomb of the black concubine should be here. This position is just right to be condescending, overlooking the south bank of Liaoyang. ”
"I'll check!"
"Wait a minute!" Lao Du turned around to leave, but was stopped by me, "According to Wen Xin, he should have encountered a ghost from the tomb of the black concubine on the mountain near his hometown." As long as we find Wen Xin's original household registration, we can roughly determine the location of the tomb of the black concubine. ”
"Good!" Lao Du then turned around and left.
I said to Monk Shi: "Help me find if there is anything in the clinic that can lock Xie Wanhua's breath, hair and clothes." I want to see how much Xie Wanhua has the ability to avoid my calculations. ”
"No problem!" Monk Shi and I went through the entire clinic from beginning to end, but we didn't find a few things that could be used. It's no wonder that warlocks care about how they handle their hair, after all, no one wants to be approached by a curse-savvy adversary.
I was lucky to be able to dig out three or four things from the clinic that I could barely use. When Monk Shi and I cleaned up, Lao Du also rushed back. However, this time he came back with two platoons of armed police.
I looked at the armed policemen behind Lao Du: "Lao Du, what do you mean by bringing these people back?" ”
Lao Du was embarrassed: "This time the matter is too big, I explained to the above a few times, and they finally believed my words." However, the bureau was not worried that we would rush up to search the mountain so rashly, so they insisted that I take two platoons of armed police to go up together. ”
"Nonsense!" I was furious, "Are you going to catch the bandits or the fugitives?" It's going to fight ghosts! You let them follow, you are going to let them go up and die, right? ”
Lao Du rubbed his hands and said: "I can't help it, it says this is an order, and I have to carry it out." Besides......"
Lao Du looked at me and said, "Besides, this time it may involve the protection of cultural relics, and I am not very relieved." ”
Lao Du's words didn't understand, but I guessed a few points.
The case of a warlock murder may not be accessible to an ordinary police officer in his lifetime. However, there have been several cases in Sanxi City in just one month, and it is impossible not to pay attention to them. This is someone who wants to test how much the police can deter warlocks.
I can't explain this kind of thing to them.
I told them bluntly, "Actually, the warlocks are afraid of the government, and they don't want to have anything to do with the government, let alone cause trouble", but I was afraid that no one would believe it, after all, none of them had ever touched the art of art.
If you don't bring these armed police, I'm afraid it won't work this time.
I simply stood up and said to the armed policemen: "If you want to follow, I have no objection, but remember two points for me." First, you are not allowed to do what you are not allowed to do; The second is that what you are asked to do, you must do immediately. Otherwise, I will not be responsible for anything that goes wrong. ”
I was done, but the soldiers didn't react at all. I couldn't help but look at Lao Du, who pointed to a platoon commander with a red face, and the other party said loudly: "Do you understand?" ”
"Got it!" After the armed police soldier responded in a loud voice, I couldn't help frowning.
They are soldiers, and obeying orders is the first day of duty. The problem is that I'm not the one who gives orders, and they don't exactly follow my commands. In a certain situation, I dare not imagine what the consequences will be if the platoon commander of the lead gives a completely different order.
I just wanted to say that I wanted to refuse to cooperate, but I saw Lao Du's eyes.
I understood that this kind of cooperation could not be avoided, so I could only reluctantly nod and say, "Then let's go." ”
After I got in the car, I didn't speak again, Lao Du knew that I was not happy, so I could only find the topic first: "Xiao Wu, this is the information of my investigation." Wen Xin's hometown is called Wenjiatun, and there is a mountainous area behind it. The location you pointed out from the map happened to be near Wenjiatun. ”
Lao Du handed over the information: "Just like Wen Xin himself said, there is indeed a legend about the black concubine in the local area, and the so-called fish viewing platform is also near the village. ”
I was surprised: "You mean the fish viewing platform is still there?" ”
Lao Du nodded and said: "That's what the local police said, I don't know very well, I'll know when I get to the place." ”
While Lao Du and I were talking, the driver drove the police car to the side of the mountain. Lao Du pointed to the village not far away and said, "That's Wenjiatun." ”
I glanced around. Although there is also a river guarding next to Wenjiatun, it is certainly not the Taizi River. Can the fish viewing platform be in such a position?
When I was puzzled, Lao Du had already brought a policeman: "This is Li Qiang, he is a local, he knows where the fish viewing platform is." ”
After a few words of greeting with the other party, I said bluntly, "Take me to the fish viewing platform immediately." ”
Li Qiang didn't say a word, and led me to the mountain. Before we had gone far, the platoon commander of the armed police who led the team couldn't help but ask: "Comrade Li Qiang, are you going up the mountain?" Isn't the fish viewing platform supposed to be at the water's edge, where does the water come from on this mountain? ”
Li Qiang said as he walked: "There is indeed no water on this mountain, and only in the rainy season can there be a few streams flowing out of the mountain water." However, according to the old generation, the fish viewing platform is in the mountains. Do you think it's weird? ”
Li Qiang didn't wait for the other party to answer and said: "I grew up here as a child, and people who have seen the fish viewing platform have asked the old people in the village: There is no water, where can I go to watch the fish?" ”
"The older generation said that the fish viewing platform is the name left by the old generation in the past, and no one can understand how a fish viewing platform can emerge on the top of the hillside."
I can understand that. Legend has it that some of these things have changed as they have been passed on, and some of them may have been lost after they have been passed on, and no one can tell what the original story was like.
It is only after seeing the fish viewing platform that we can know what it is.
After a few of us walked out for a distance, Li Qiang pointed to a boulder in the distance and said, "That's the fish viewing platform." ”
