After finishing dinner in the Starry Sky Building, he rested for a while, and at about nine o'clock in the evening, Ruruo led Mu Yuan and Crayfish straight to Xinhua District. However, this time Li Haoxuan did not follow, but was accompanied by his assistant. The so-called "the son of a thousand gold does not sit down, and the son of a hundred gold does not rely on balance", it can be seen from this one action, as if the "interesting" place in the mouth of the neighbor is definitely not just interesting.

Looking at the direction of the car, the crayfish couldn't sit still, and asked hesitantly: "Should we go to the City God Temple?" ”

"City God Temple? What's wrong? Makihara asked curiously.

"What's wrong? That's a famous ghost town in Banyan City! No, you put me down and get out of the car, I won't go! "The crayfish's face is a little white, if the car is still moving, it is estimated that he would have pulled the door and got out of the car.

It's not that crayfish are timid, it's really that the prestige of "ghost town" is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. "Ghost Town" was originally called "Yida Plaza", located on the edge of Xinhua District, ten years ago it was a relatively remote corner, with the rapid development of Banyan City in recent years, it has been fully included in the main city of the city.

As early as before the founding of the People's Republic of China, this is the location of the City God Temple of the old Banyan City, it is rumored that this temple is very effective, it can be said that it is responsive, and the incense has been very prosperous for hundreds of years. Although the ancient city of Banyan City was devastated by the war, the impact on the City God Temple was not large. First, it is far away from the ancient city of Rongcheng, and there are no garrisons, and all previous siege battles have not used this place as a battlefield; Second, most people in ancient times were more superstitious, believing that the temple was a place for the protector gods to stay, and damaging the temple would attract disadvantage.

Of course, not everyone gave face to the city god, and there were not a few people who wanted to demolish this temple in history, but many of them were doomed, either killed on the battlefield, or were beaten by the enemy and lost their armor and annihilated.

The most famous of these is the fierce peasant uprising movement at the end of the Qing Dynasty, after encountering the rebel army who did not believe in Buddhism and did not respect the Tao, and believed in our lord, the City God Temple was not spared. When there was little peace in the place where this army went, General Shi, who had the "Holy Spirit Electricity Commander Wing King", gave an order, and in a moment he dismantled the City God Temple into rotten bricks and tiles, not only smashed the clay statue of the City God, but even split the beams of the house and burned it as firewood.

I don't know if it was the city god who showed his might under the anger, this invincible stone general was only in the limelight for two years, and suddenly came to the end of his fate. In the final battle, General Shi found that there were no Qing troops on the other side of the river, so he ordered more rafts to be prepared, and crossed the river the next day, but the sky suddenly rained heavily that night, causing the river to swell and make it impossible to sail. After a three-day delay, the Qing troops defending on the eastern front came to the opposite bank, and the rebel army was blocked by the unseen advance water in a century.

In the end, the general was captured by the Qing soldiers and executed by Ling Chi on the streets of Rongcheng.

After listening to this story, the driver in the front seat and Assistant Chen couldn't help but shudder, the story told by the crayfish was indeed a bit too evil.

"It must be a coincidence!" Mu Yuan smiled, "When King Yan swept the north, every time he encountered a major disaster, it was rumored that the gods and immortals rescued him, so there were Guandi temples everywhere outside the city in Yanjing City, this is just a folk legend!" ”

"Not really!" Crayfish shook his head, "Ten years ago, this place was bought by a developer, but the project has just started, and the evil sect has happened again!" ”

After the end of the Qing Dynasty, although the local people have always wanted to renovate the City God Temple, but at that time, the country was weak and the people were poor, and wars broke out. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, this place was renamed "Cheng'an Road", and only the older people still know the original place name of "Chenghuang Temple", but a strange incident once again gave the citizens a deep understanding of this area.

Ten years ago, the Rongcheng city government began to vigorously attract investment, in addition to the renovation of the old city, but also increased the development of the new area, the city god temple area due to the geographical conditions, has become a place for many developers to compete for. After some competitive bidding, more than 200 acres of land on the original site of the Chenghuang Temple were auctioned off by a developer surnamed Wang at a high price, and according to the government's requirements, the land will be developed into a commercial plaza and high-end residences.

Soon after the start of construction, the construction workers dug out a stone from the soil when digging the foundation, at that time this also alarmed the cultural relics department, thinking that it was dug to the ancient tomb, for a time the city was full of wind and rain, everyone knows, Wang Daqian's real estate advertisement has not been done, this real estate has been completely famous in Rongcheng.

However, Wang Daqian was not only not happy, but was so worried that he wanted to jump off the building. If this place is really an ancient tomb and will definitely be included in the list of cultural relics protected, then his investment will be completely wasted. Even if it can be developed, do you think that the common people are willing to pay money to be neighbors with an ancient tomb?

The antiquities department worked on the site for more than a week, but nothing else was found except for the head made of stone, leaving only a few people to supervise and guide, and the construction workers started the excavator again. In the past three years, more than a dozen accidents have occurred on this construction site, killing and injuring five or six people, not only causing a lawsuit, but also compensating a large amount of pensions, and the progress of the project has been delayed again and again, and his money bag has been completely emptied in less than five years.

"And then?" Makihara asked.

The crayfish did not answer, but looked out through the car window, and under the light of the lights on all sides, a group of unfinished buildings lay lying in a circle of broken walls, most of which were only two or three stories old, and some of them did not even have a good foundation.

"That's the building!" Crayfish pointed to the tallest unfinished building, which was about seven or eight stories long, "The developer jumped off that building and committed suicide!" ”

The driver originally wanted to accompany a few people in, but when he heard this, he hurriedly got back into the car, and checked the car in makeup, but he couldn't get down. Assistant Chen also wanted to run, but he was ordered to come and accompany him, so he could only stiffen his head, but his face turned white with fright. This assistant Chen is Li Haoxuan's personal assistant, and he also came from Hong Kong Island, and he has always believed in feng shui ghosts and gods.

"Master Ju, Mr. Mu, why don't we come back tomorrow morning!" After Assistant Chen hesitated, he still said euphemistically, "This black light is blinding, and the construction site is chaotic, if you fall and get injured, the gains outweigh the losses!" ”

"It's okay!" As if the neighbor waved his hand, "Isn't there someone watching here, just let them turn on the lights, it's really not good, find two flashlights, we don't have to go upstairs, just walk around the construction site!" ”

The so-called someone is watching, referring to a duty room at the gate of the construction site, but this is just the same thing, hundreds of acres of construction site, just one or two security guards will definitely not be able to see. The reputation of this "ghost town" is already well known, and the construction equipment has long been emptied, leaving only concrete floors and stone tiles, so there is nothing of value at all, and there is no need to worry about thieves coming to the door.

Assistant Chen ran to the duty room and knocked on the door, handed over a document to communicate, and an old man in his seventies walked out of the duty room, he was wearing a shabby military coat and his face was full of folds, but he was not hunched on his back and his eyes were not dazzled. He took a flashlight and shot at Mu Yuan and a few people, and looked at it for a long time before turning around and slowly opening the bulky door, and Mu Yuan and a few people entered.

"Grandpa, you're old, borrow us a flashlight, and we'll just go in by ourselves!" Mu Yuan said, "Assistant Chen, you don't have to follow!" ”

"That's ...... Not good! Although Assistant Chen was happy in his heart, he still pretended to be embarrassed.

"It's okay!" Ruruo waved his hand, "Don't worry, I will explain it to Mr. Li, you don't have to worry!" ”

"Okay!" Assistant Chen nodded, "Then I'll wait here, if there's anything to call me, I'll rush over immediately!" ”

"It doesn't matter where you look!" When the old man handed over the flashlight, he explained, "But don't go to the tallest building, old man, I've been looking at the door here for four or five years, and it's very evil there!" ”
