Volume 2 Xuanwu Mystery Burial Chapter 102 Yin Soldiers Borrow Food (II)
Last time, it was said that Shen Yifan and the experts let the police and militia find it in the barn of Longbow County, and after a few tape recorders, they also knew it, and after the car returned to the county government, Shen Yifan speculated about the situation with the county magistrate; After the director of the county public security bureau said it again, he left.
The next day, a deputy director and several section chiefs of the Food Bureau were all brought into the county public security bureau, and the so-called supernatural incident of the Yin soldiers was also solved.
The so-called supernatural incident "Yin soldiers borrowing grain" is actually an excuse for corruption in the Changgong County Food Bureau. The leading cadres of the Food Bureau filled their pockets, and sold the country's grain to the empty barn on weekdays, so they used the excuse of 'Yin soldiers borrowing grain', and it was seen from the closed-circuit television that these pictures did not move at all, and the only explanation was that the picture was too static, which made Shen Yifan and the experts a little suspicious, and the CCTV outdoors would be shaken by the wind, and the picture that Shen Yifan and the experts saw was completely static, which showed that someone had taken the lighting in advance and placed it in front of the CCTV probe. The sound of the woman's cries and screams heard near the barn was easily blown away by the wind, indicating that these sounds were not directly emitted but through some medium, so it was concluded that a tape recorder was played.
The deputy director of the grain bureau of the first instance of the public security and several section chiefs confessed, and in order to conceal the facts, they actually knocked the newly appointed director unconscious and pushed him down from the tower, and the case was solved.
In other words, why do the people of Longbow County believe so much in the supernatural incident of Yin soldiers borrowing food, in addition to the theft of Zhang Xianzhong's military food, there is another thing that caused a sensation in Longbow County at that time.
In other words, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Longbow County was an autonomous county at that time, there were no county officials or anything like that, and there was the most prestigious family in the local area to manage Longbow County, so it was naturally the Zhang family.
One year, there was a flash flood in Kushan Mountain, although Changgong County did not suffer from the disaster, but the surrounding villages and several small towns have become Zeguo, many victims have poured into Changgong County for refuge, in order to let the victims be fed, the patriarch of the Zhang family at that time, Zhang Xuwu let people go to the big city to buy a large amount of grain back to the county, hoard it in the back of the Zhang family compound, and open the warehouse tomorrow.
But what I didn't expect was that early the next morning, the granary of the Zhang family's mansion was full of white paper money, and there were no particles left in the granary.
This is not to ask for Zhang Xuwu's old life, but to ask for the life of the entire Longbow County and tens of thousands of disaster victims, just when everyone has nothing to do, a traveling Taoist happened to pass by Longbow County, and when he saw this situation, he told Zhang Xuwu that this is "Yin soldiers borrowing food", where in this world are floods, many people have no food to eat, even ghosts are the same thing.
The Taoist promised the Zhang family to help him recover some losses, but there was no way to recover them all, the Taoist priest set up an altar in Zhang's house that night, and after a night down, the Taoist priest told Zhang Xuwu that the Yin soldiers who borrowed grain were the souls of the dead on the ancient battlefield near the Luoquangou in Kushan, and now they promised to return half of the grain to the Zhang family.
Zhang Xuwu felt good when he heard that he was going to come back, and thanked him again and again. The next morning, the Zhang family set up a porridge shop in Changgong County with a lot of food, and the matter came to an end.
Three months later, the flood waters receded and everything was restored.
One day, there was suddenly a lot of food at the door of the Zhang family's mansion, and a note was paid, which read: "The Yin soldiers borrowed food, borrowed and repaid." Lend you three thousand, and pay you back six thousand. "The housekeeper is really three thousand more quintals.
After Shen Yifan heard this story, he didn't quite believe in such a thing as 'Yin Soldier Borrowing', he estimated that the Zhang family couldn't take out 6,000 quintals at that time, and in order to calm the victims, he could only use this method.
The matter in Longbow County was over, and Shen Yifan and the others led the team towards the hinterland of Kushan. This time, their purpose was the Xichuan Tomb, and only after finding the Xichuan Tomb could they determine where Zhang Wenchuan's tomb was.
The team went all the way to a place that was inaccessible by the winding mountain road, and everyone had to go on foot. Shen Yifan took Fang Zi and others from the Dragon Hunting Society and gold inlaid jade; Ah Bing and yaks; Stone and poppy, as well as Zhang Fu and Hu Er's group of people, a group of people continued to march, while Gu Jie and Murong Wan'er's support camped near the winding mountain road.
Their first target was Luoquangou.
Luoquangou is a mountain road with mountain streams on both sides, and it is not a road when it is said to be a road, but a piece of stones, and there is a gurgling stream below.
Hu Er has been here, so it was easy to find Luoquangou, according to his description, they crossed Luoquangou and encountered ghosts hitting the wall, and then somehow they came to a small road, and they saw the Yin soldiers borrowing the way.
The expert looked at Luoquangou on the side and said, "It doesn't look like there is any yin qi?" ”
After hearing this, Hu Er said in fright: "You can't talk nonsense. This place is very evil. ”
Shen Yifan said: "Since it is said to be so evil, let's not enter rashly, rest here for one night, and set off tomorrow morning." ”
Everyone agreed, and Shen Yifan and Fang Zi went into Luoquangou to investigate. This time, because Shen Yifan helped Longbow County, the county magistrate specially approved a batch of weapons from the militia depot, although these guns are honest 81 semi-automatic, but they are also very good for those without weapons.
The 81 semi-automatic rifle is a kind of army standard weapon independently researched by our country, which was widely used in the border army in the 60s, and then slowly eliminated and became the weapon of the militia.
For Shen Yifan, they can't even think of a gun in their hands, but it does strengthen their courage.
Shen Yifan and Fang Zi walked all the way towards Luoquangou, there was no special place, and after walking to the middle, Fang Zi patted Shen Yifan and pointed to the top of their heads.
Shen Yifan looked up and saw that there were hanging coffins all over his head, and the sky above the ravine was almost covered with dense crowds, and when he looked forward, all the coffins were hanging above the ravine.
Shen Yifan took out the water tray and looked at it and said, "Here."
It is indeed close to the land of the dragon vein, and it is also a good place to be buried. ”
Fang Zi asked, "I'm thinking." Why does the hanging coffin start from the middle of the Luoquan ditch? ”
Shen Yifan seemed to think of something when Fang Zi said this, and said, "Let's go to the front and have a look." ”
Saying that, the two of them took three steps and made two steps to the exit of Luoquan Gully, and in front of them was a dense forest, the woods were very strange, and they were all planted with pomegranate trees, but the road was winding and winding, and there was no end in sight.
Shen Yifan looked at the water tray and smiled slightly and said, "What a Qimen Dunjia." ”
"Qimen Dunjia?" Fang Zi was a little puzzled when he heard this, and asked, "You mean that this pomegranate forest is actually a formation?" ”
Shen Yifan said: "Hu Er, the devils, and their gang are also fateful. This Qimen Dunjia is a dead end at all, and it is a dead door to take that road. ”
Fang Zi asked, "Then they said that they walked out of this wood, and they also saw the Yin soldiers borrowing the way." ”
Shen Yifan said: "It's possible that what they see is just an illusion. ”
Shen Yifan and Fang Zi returned to the camp and told them what they had seen, and everyone looked at Zhang Fu in unison.
Zhang Fu said: "I only know that the tomb of the Xichuan King is over the Luoquan Ditch. ”
The expert asked, "How did you go in and save Hu Er's devils at that time?" ”
Shen Yifan said: "He should know the route of Qimen Dunjia, rote memorization, and he will return according to the original route after he enters." ”
Zhang Fu nodded and said: "The Zhang family has to memorize a mantra, and later I learned that this mantra is the mantra for entering the pomegranate forest in front, although you can go in, you can't find another way out, that is, return the same way." ”
Jin Zhuyu asked, "Since you want to guard the tomb, you naturally know the exact location of the cemetery, why don't you know anything?" ”
Shen Yifan's mind went through the scene of Luoquangou, and suddenly he knew what was going on. He smiled and said, "Don't embarrass him." He really didn't know, because his ancestors had blocked all the roads here. ”
Jin Zhuyu was still a little confused when he heard this, and asked, "What does this mean?" ”
Shen Yifan leaned on a backpack and said, "Sleep!" Tomorrow when you enter Luoquangou, you will naturally know. ”
The night was not an ordinary night, Shen Yifan slept until he was dazed and heard the sound of wooden wheels crushing on the road, opened his eyes and found some faint lights not far away, saw that everyone slept soundly and did not wake them up, watching the yak vigil by the fire, he went towards the light alone.
I don't know when, Zhang Fu followed behind Shen Yifan, startling Shen Yifan, Shen Yifan asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Zhang Fu said: "I am familiar with this place. ”
Shen Yifan asked wonderingly: "In the middle of the night, how can there be lights in the mountains." ”
Zhang Fu made a soft gesture and said, "You tap!" This place is very evil, and the Yin Soldier borrowed the Tao to happen in this place. ”
The two of them have come to a small hillside, looking down at a mountain path with a faint light, the hillside is not high but the vegetation is lush, the two of them half-squatted in the bushes and looked down to see very clearly.
I saw white spirit flags on both sides of the mountain path, and there was a torch on the side of each spirit flag, and from a distance, I saw a large group of soldiers wearing ancient armor walking silently towards here, in front of a military general riding a tall horse, and behind it was an ancient soldier who drove an ox cart to escort things.
Zhang Fu looked at it and shouted in surprise: "Yin soldiers borrow the way!" Before he could finish speaking, he was covered by Shen Yifan.
Shen Yifan looked forward carefully, and saw that the group of ancient soldiers was slowly walking over. The movements of these ancient soldiers were very stiff, even the movements of the first military general riding horses were very stiff, and the movements of the oxen pulling the oxcart were also very stiff.
This ancient soldier walked towards the Luoquan ditch in front, and after a cup of tea, the ancient soldiers all entered the Luoquan ditch, and then a very thick white mist came out of the Luoquan ditch, enveloping the entire Luoquan ditch, and after a few minutes, the fog in the Luoquan ditch disappeared, and the ancient soldiers were gone.
Shen Yifan walked through this Luoquan Ditch, according to their normal walking, it took about fifteen minutes to complete the ditch, and the speed of those ancient soldiers marching was much slower, that is to say, if you really want to complete all the distance of this Luoquan Ditch, it will take about twenty minutes, but after a few minutes, this group of people has disappeared without a trace. Could it be that this group of strange people is really Yin soldiers.
The more Shen Yifan thought about it, the more he muttered in his heart, what he saw in front of him was indeed incredible, and the only explanation might be that it was a supernatural image phenomenon like Beidou City, but this guess was denied with what Zhang Fu brought back from the mountain path.
Zhang Fu ran over with an indescribable expression, as if he was holding something in his hand. When I got closer, I saw that Zhang Fu was holding a few golden things about the size of rice in his hands.
Shen Yifan pinched one with his hand and looked at it and said, "This is gold?" ”
Zhang Fu said: "It's Jinmi." ”
"Kimmy?" Shen Yifan looked at himself suspiciously and asked.
Zhang Fu looked at it and seemed to be a little excited and said: "I have watched all the way, and there are many such golden rice along the way." Could it be that the Yin soldiers are escorting Jinmi? ”
Shen Yifan and Zhang Fu returned to the mountain path, and as soon as they arrived on the path, Zhang Fu was very surprised and said, "Huh! What about torches and spiritualist flags here? ”
Then Shen Yifan noticed that something was wrong and said, "It's not right."
! This is not the way it was. ”
"How is that possible?" Zhang Fu said and shone on the ground with a strong light flashlight, squatted and picked up a few grains of golden rice and said, "Look! Kim Mi is still there. ”
The paths in the woods were almost all the same, Shen Yifan looked at Jin Mi and was a little puzzled, and said to himself: "Jin Mi is still there, but the road is not the same as before." ”
Zhang Fu asked, "Why are you sure?" ”
Shen Yifan said: "Most of the trees here are old trees, and the smallest annual rings are more than ten years old in ancient times. The trees on both sides of the path we saw before were probably more than four years old, and there were not many big trees. I can be sure that the previous path is completely different from the current one. ”
After hearing this, Zhang Fu also felt a little problematic, looked at the surrounding trees, and couldn't help but get a layer of white sweat, and said: "Could the mountain path we just saw be an ancient road?" ”
Shen Yifan nodded and said, "It's very likely." As he spoke, he walked along the mountain road, looking for Jinmi.
Zhang Fu followed all the way behind, and when he saw the golden rice, he collected it, and then, when he arrived at the mouth of the Luoquan ditch, he had already collected a bag full of golden rice, and Shen Yifan still pursued the golden rice all the way until the golden rice was completely gone.
Zhang Fu said while tying the pockets containing the golden rice: "This is also an unexpected gain. ”
Shen Yifan looked up at the sky falling from Quangou and asked, "Zhang Fu!" Why is this called Luoquangou? ”
Zhang Fu packed the pocket of the golden rice and said: "This is the Luoquan Mountain of the Kushan Mountain Range, legend has it that in ancient times, there was a spring that would not wither all year round, and no matter what season it was, it would bubble outward. At that time, it was not called Luoquan Mountain, but it was called Shenquan Mountain. One year, there was a drought that was rare in a century, and the water sources in all other places around Kushan had dried up, and the local people had to travel thousands of miles here to carry the water source, which was very hard. One day the immortal came and turned a spring on the top of the mountain into a stream that flowed down from this ditch to make it easier for the people to get water. Later, it was renamed Luoquangou. ”
Zhang Fu pointed to the stone walls on both sides of the ravine and said, "This stone wall is as smooth as a mirror, and it has been washed by the stream all year round. However, the spring water on the mountain has not come down in the past few years, and it should be that the direction of the leylines has changed. ”
Shen Yifan still raised his head and looked at it, and said to himself: "There is a dead and lifeless Qimen Dunjia in front of him. Above are the mountain peaks. If the tomb of the king of Xichuan is not in front, it is on top. Have you ever been above? ”
Zhang Fu said: "Do you know, this Luoquan Mountain is different from other mountains in the Kushan Mountain Range, this mountain is like a pillar that goes straight into the sky, although there is some vegetation on both sides, there is no place to stay. In the middle of Luoquan Mountain is this ravine, and Luoquan Peak is even more precipitous, like a knife with a knife exposed at the end of the pillar. There is a local saying: the difficult flying bridge, the dangerous Tiger Ridge, a magic knife on the mountain, and the apes are worried when they see it. The last two sentences describe the steepness of the peaks of the falling springs. So no one in the area has ever climbed the peak of Falling Springs. ”
Feidu Bridge; Tiger Ridge, we don't care about the rules. Just to say that this Luoquan Mountain is indeed extremely steep, not only that, in the entire range of Kushan, the legend of the gods and ghosts of Luoquan Mountain is the most right, in addition to the legend that Zhang Fu just said about the renaming of Shenquan Mountain to Luoquan Mountain, there are many legends about this mountain.
The most widely spread legend is the Yin Soldier Borrowing Road and the Yin Soldier Official Warehouse of Luoquan Mountain. Perhaps this is directly related to the geographical location of Luoquan Mountain and the steepness of the peak. Luoquan Mountain is the north and south lock tongue of the bitter mountain in the north of Chongqing, the throat of the north, in ancient times, it was a place where soldiers fought in Sichuan, so it was the battlefield of the ancient battle in all dynasties. Some people say that the soul of injustice here is condensed and can often see the Yin soldiers, and some people say that there was a Xichuan Pass on Luoquan Mountain at that time, which could make a husband and a man not open.
We won't say much here, let's talk about the so-called Yin Soldier Guancang.
Legend Luoquan Mountain is a major fortress of Xichuan when Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, is the last barrier of the territory of Xichuan country north of Gongwei Kushan, it is rumored that the king of Xichuan has built a strong fortress on Luoquan Mountain, the most elite Sichuan iron cavalry is stationed here, this Sichuan iron cavalry has about 4,000 people each loyal to the king of Xichuan, the combat effectiveness is extraordinary, hold on here for up to a year, in order to solve the problem of grain and grass of this army, Zhang Wenchuan specially ordered people to build a granary on the mountain, there is a spring in the mountain logistics support and sufficient, Therefore, Zhang Xianzhong's army was repeatedly unable to attack, and finally had to give up.
Zhang Xianzhong's troops did not capture, and naturally the township regiment of the local magnates was also invincible repeatedly, and finally a local medicine picker who was familiar with the terrain led the way, entering the north of Kushan from a sheep intestine path, annihilating the forces of Xichuan in one fell swoop, and finally besieging Luoquan Mountain, trapping all its five thousand Sichuan armor iron horsemen on the mountain.
Legend has it that Zhang Wenchuan was using a very advanced technology to transport grain to Luoquan Mountain, this set of equipment can transport grain naturally can also transport people up and down, after the king of Xichuan has gone, Zhang Wenchuan took refuge in the local magnates to destroy the set of equipment, so this trapped the last 5,000 people of the king of Xichuan, resulting in the destruction of the Xichuan country.
Therefore, the local legend is that the Yin soldiers here are the five thousand Sichuan armor iron cavalry trapped in the mountain at that time, because they have not received the order of the Xichuan King to retreat, so even if they are dead, the ghosts are still guarding here, in order to solve the problem of military food, there is a supernatural event of the Yin soldiers borrowing food, and there is an ancient official warehouse on Luoquan Mountain, which was built by Zhang Wenchuan according to the scale of the official warehouse during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, so it is called the Yin Soldier Official Warehouse.
Shen Yifan already knew almost everything about this place, he looked at the top of Luoquan Ditch and said, "It seems that we have to go up and have a look." ”
What adventures will Shen Yifan and the others encounter next? Is there really a legendary pass and an official warehouse on Luoquan Mountain? Everything had to wait until Shen Yifan and the others managed to climb Luoquan Mountain to solve the answer to the puzzle.
