Volume 3 Two Capitals Chapter 6 Seven Nights of Horror

"General, after collecting and sorting, there are a total of seven bizarre incidents that occurred on the Xianyang Plain, and all of them happened at night! The first incident happened more than two months ago! Gao Feng pointed to a military official under the tent and said, "This is the subordinate of Maoling who is farthest away from Yangling, and he is the only person in charge at that time!" ”

The military official took a step forward and said respectfully: "I have seen the general in my humble position!" ”

"It's been dozens of miles, it's hard!" Nanying raised his hand and said, "Tell me about the situation at that time!" ”

"Yes, that thing is very strange!" The soldier looked thoughtful: "That night, when I was on the night watch, I suddenly heard the sound of digging in the darkness, as if someone was plowing the field. At that time, the humble post immediately became alert, the vicinity of this Maoling was full of wasteland, there were almost no peasant households, how could anyone plow the land in the middle of the night? ”

"Yes! Your vigilance is high! Nanying nodded slightly: "Then you must want to check it out?" ”

"Exactly! The humble position immediately led more than a dozen subordinates and chased them in the direction of the voice! When the officer heard Nanying's praise, his face flashed with a hint of joy: "Sure enough, it wasn't far away, and I heard a strange sound coming and going from time to time in front of me, as if it was mixed with the sound of wheels rolling, so I listened intently in the night and slowly tracked it away!" ”

"And what about later?" Seeing that he was silent, Nan Ying couldn't help but continue to ask.

"Later? Back to the general's words! The officer was dumbfounded: "Then it was gone!" ”

"How could it be gone? You're not done yet! Nanying was surprised: "Since you can hear the sound of the wheels rolling, have you ever found the rut?" ”

"General! Gone! The soldier said with a bitter face: "Not only is the sound of plowing gone, but even the sound of wheels rolling has suddenly disappeared without a trace!" ”

"And!" He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "There are no traces of excavation on the ground, let alone ruts!" ”

"No, it won't!" Nanying lost his voice and said: "Have you carefully inspected the surrounding terrain, maybe there are some crypts and caves that can hide the cart!" ”

"General, in the darkness, the humble official suddenly raised his eyes and saw a few black mountain bags......" Before the military official's words were finished, Nanying had already said happily: "The general will say it!" How could the car disappear out of thin air, there must be some cave, right? ”

The soldier looked left and right, and a trace of fear suddenly flashed on his face: "The lowly official suddenly found that there was a familiar wall in front of him, and those few mountain packs...... Those few mountain bags are the Maoling Tombs that are in charge of guarding. The lowly chased a big circle in the darkness, and actually went around again! And since the funeral of Emperor Wu, the Maoling has been sealed in the dust for more than 200 years, and has been under the strictest protection, how can it, how can it? ”

He lowered his head and could no longer speak. And Nanying and the others also gasped when they heard it, they understood what the military official meant.

Maoling is different from the ordinary imperial tombs, there are still the tombs of Mrs. Li, the general Wei Qing, the hussar general Huo Quai, the auxiliary minister Huo Guang, Jin Riyan and other people, it is the largest one among all the imperial tombs at present, and the precautions are also the most strict. Don't say it's a car, it's a rabbit, I'm afraid it's impossible to get in. And the car ran around Maoling and mysteriously disappeared outside the wall, which obviously cannot be explained by normal phenomena.

Nanying was stunned for a long time, and when he saw that the military official wanted to speak and stopped, he said: "If you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, in front of this general, there is no need to avoid it!" ”

"Yes! Checkmate! The military official hesitated for a moment before saying: "The day after the incident, a rumor spread that Emperor Wu appeared the night before and summoned the ministers to patrol Xianyang Yuan at night, and said ......"

"Enough!" Gao Shun interrupted in a deep voice: "You have worked hard all the way, don't go back to Maoling yet, let's rest!" ”

Nan Ying looked at the military official and withdrew from the tent, only then he looked at Gao Shun and said, "Why did the eldest brother stop him from continuing?" ”

"Look at his look, don't listen!" Gao Shun shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid that it will be related to the disaster of Emperor Wu's witch Gu again." Involved in the palace dispute many years ago, it is better for you and me to listen less! ”

Nan Ying also knew a little about the "Witch Gu Scourge", and nodded: "Big brother is right!" Gao Feng, let's continue to introduce the second case! ”

"The second incident happened in Pingling, near Maoling, and the deceased in this case was a Pingling forbidden army, and there was no one who witnessed it!" Gao Feng unfolded the book and said, "Here's how it ......"

"Wait a minute, the name of this Jiuling is really hard to remember!" Nanyingtou Avenue: "Pingling is the mausoleum of the first emperor?" ”

"General Rongyu!" Gao Feng put down the book and said with a smile: "The original nine tombs of Xianyang, from east to west, are arranged in order as Yangling, Changling, Anling, Yiling, Weiling, Kangling, Yanling, Pingling, and Maoling, corresponding to Emperor Jing, Gaozu, Emperor Hui, Emperor Wai, Emperor Yuan, Emperor Ping, Emperor Cheng, Emperor Zhao, and Emperor Wu. Speaking of which, nine of the eleven emperors before the revival of Guangwu were buried here, which is indeed a treasure of feng shui! ”

"Pingling is the mausoleum of Emperor Wu's son and Emperor Zhao!" Gao Shun said: "It is said that Emperor Zhao was only twenty-one years old, and he died in the palace inexplicably, leaving more legends!" ”

"It seems that the lives of the first emperors are also quite miserable!" Seeing that there were no outsiders in the tent, Nan Ying spoke unscrupulously: "This emperor, if you want to say that the power is big and boundless, what is the use of living such a short life?" ”

"Hey, hey! In the past two hundred years, how many of the dozen or so sons of heaven have lived past the age of forty? Gao Shun's eyes flashed with a complicated color: "The emperor's house is simply a devouring tomb!" ”

Nanying trembled, and remembered what Emperor Ling said before leaving Beijing: "I was born in the emperor's house, I am like a bird in a cage, how can I have such a good life!" At that time, the desolate meaning in Emperor Ling's words and the loneliness in his eyes were definitely an instantaneous expression of true feelings.

He was stunned for a moment, and forced a smile: "Back to business!" Ah Feng, let's talk about this second incident, well, it's still a homicide! ”

"Yes! This happened on the third night after the night of Maoling's strange voices, when a ten-man squad of the Pingling defenders was on night patrol! Gao Feng said: "A military commander suddenly became anxious, in order to avoid blasphemy against the first emperor, he asked the captain to lead the team, and traveled far away, but he never returned. It wasn't until dawn that his body was found in the deep grass miles away! ”

"Oh? It's the Han army that died again! Nanying frowned and said: "But it's no wonder, after all, on this Xianyang Plain, there are at least two thousand Han troops responsible for guarding the mausoleums!" What is the cause of death? ”

"The deceased was unscarred, but his face was hideous and full of fear!" Gao Feng couldn't help but be shocked here: "According to the doctor's judgment, it may be sudden death after being frightened!" ”

"What?" Nanying and Gao Shun blurted out together: "Are you scared to death?" ”

"This!" Gao Feng put down the book and said, "It's just the doctor's judgment, and there is no other corroboration!" ”

"What about the scene of death?" Nanying thought for a moment and asked, "Is there anything out of the ordinary?" ”

"There's no record of this!" Gao Feng smiled bitterly: "And it has been more than two months, and even if there are any clues on the scene, I am afraid that they have already disappeared!" ”

"Forget it! Let's talk about the third piece! Nanying waved his hand and said: "To make a long story short, there are a total of seven strange things, and it takes only two to say two things in the past half a year, which is too inefficient!" Pick and choose the key points! ”

"Yes! Subordinates obey! Gao Feng continued: "The third incident happened near Emperor Cheng's Yanling, a farmer went out at night, only to find him inexplicably drowned in Weishui not far away early the next morning, and his body was floating on the side of the north bank! ”

"Fourth, in the Kangling Tomb of Emperor Ping, someone heard the sound of rattles and sharp whistles in the distance at night......"

"Wait! Is this a strange thing? Are you mistaken? Nan Ying's eyes rolled when he heard this: "Who rings a bell and blows a whistle in the middle of the night, this is also a crime?" ”

"General, please listen to it before you talk about it! That's not all there is to it! Gao Feng complained: "Of course this is nothing, but the next morning, all the livestock and poultry raised by nearby farmers disappeared mysteriously!" Isn't this weird? ”

"All? Don't even have hundreds of domestic animals and poultry! Nan Ying was startled and said in shock: "This is a bit strange!" Even a gang of thieves can't have such a skill! ”

"General, the last general is about to start talking about the fifth strange thing!" Gao Feng cleared his throat and said: "This time it is Emperor Yuan's Weiling, there is a pond nearby, the water is originally clear to the bottom, and it is the main drinking place for local residents, called Qingchi!" But something strange happened, and after one night, not only did the water level of the clear pond skyrocket, but the water of the pond became muddy, and the people thought that it was a punishment from the gods, which made people panic! ”

"Hey! This is another strange thing! Nan Ying touched his head: "But sometimes strange things in nature emerge one after another, and no one can explain them!" ”

"If the first few things can be described as weird, then the sixth thing is really weird!" Gao Feng looked at the book and said: "This time it is the Tomb of Emperor Mourning, a small village nearby, about a dozen families, more than 30 people, all disappeared overnight!" ”

"What did you say?" Nan Ying and Gao Shun were really surprised, their faces changed greatly, and they said in unison: "More than thirty people are all missing?" ”

"Yes! So far, no one has been lived, no corpse has been died! Gao Feng licked his dry lips and said, "General, in your words: the world has evaporated!" ”

"The last one is the Yangling tragedy that just happened the night before!" Gao Feng continued: "These seven strange things have a time span of three months, and the only thing in common is that the time is at night! ”

"That's not right! One more thing in common! Nan Ying casually pulled a white silk, drew nine black circles from left to right on it, marked the names in simplified Chinese characters one by one, and said to himself: "Strange voices, sudden death, drowning, strange sounds and animal disappearance, clear water turbidity, collective disappearance, and finally mass death and mass injury!" All happened near the Imperial Mausoleum! ”

"Not bad! And Ben would have had the illusion that these events were slowly escalating! Over the past few years, Gao Feng has learned a lot of new words from Nanying, and his words are mixed with the past and the present, which sometimes gives Nanying the illusion that he is a modern person.

"So, there are rumors on this Xianyang Plain now, and there are all kinds of things!" Gao Shun frowned and said: "And its spearhead is directly aimed at today!" ”

"Huh? It's a little weird! Nan Ying looked at the nine imperial tombs he had drawn, pointed to two of them, and said: "In the seventh night, there were seven incidents, and the time and place were roughly sorted from west to east, but why did the Changling and An tombs only omit from the nine imperial tombs?" Ah Feng, which two emperors' tombs did you just say this is? ”

"Oh! It is the mausoleum of Gaozu and Gaozu's sister-in-law, Emperor Hui! Gao Feng opened his mouth and came, obviously knowing very well.

"That's even weirder!" Nan Ying stretched out his hand and stroked his forehead and said: "Of the nine emperors, only the mausoleum of the founding monarch and the second emperor of this dynasty has not happened strangely, what is the mystery in this?" ”

"It's weird!" Gao Shun suddenly let out a long sigh.

"Of course it's weird, otherwise how can I ......," Nan Ying said casually.

"Nope! You didn't understand what I meant! Gao Shun said with a heavy face: "These seven incidents, although they are strange and surprising, but under the subdivision, there are great differences!" ”

"Strange sounds, sudden deaths, drowning, strange noises, and the disappearance of animals are not surprising if the first four incidents are separated separately. Even if it is the fifth case of clear water turbidity, it can also be understood by the natural phenomenon mentioned by the virtuous brother, however, the collective disappearance can reveal a strong atmosphere of human conspiracy, and in the end, it openly attacked the Han army guarding the tomb, resulting in nine deaths and one injury, it is simply a naked murder! ”

"What does this mean to us?" Gao Shun lowered his head and said, "Is it as Gao Feng said, these events are going from small to large, from strange to terrifying?" ”

"This is heaven descending on sin!" Suddenly, a voice outside the tent shouted: "The luck of the Han Dynasty for four hundred years is facing the most terrible curse!" ”

The three people in the tent were stunned and turned to look.
