Chapter 143: Four Ghost Towns

When I heard the words 'Huainan Fengmen Valley', I suddenly felt that this seemed to be a little familiar.

I frowned and asked, "Teacher Shen, what kind of place is this Sealed Gate Valley?" ”

Shen Hang smiled and said nothing, turned his head and looked ahead, but at this moment, I found that Fan Tianzhou's face had changed when he was in the car: "Teacher Shen, you're not joking with me. Sealed Door Valley? You asked these students to go to the Sealed Gate Valley?

Even if these students are the best among this year's students, it's just a joke for you to let them go to the Sealed Gate Valley now! ”

Fan Tianzhou's reaction made me nervous, I wanted to ask something, but Shen Hang directly pulled Fan Tianzhou and went to the front of the car to sit down, obviously not wanting Fan Tianzhou to talk too much to us.

I could only go back to my seat and ask Ma Guo next to me, "Do you know what the Sealed Gate Valley is?" Why is Mr. Shen so mysterious when he talks about that place? And Teacher Fan heard that place and blew up all of a sudden? ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw that Ma Guo's face was not very good-looking, and I realized that the matter was probably serious.

At this time, Tian Gang came over and handed me his mobile phone: "Take a look for yourself, it's all available on the Internet." ”

As soon as I lowered my head, I saw that this article was called 'The Four Ghost Cities of China', and when I saw this, I realized that Huainan Fengmen Valley was one of the four ghost towns alongside Fengdu Ghost Town, Lop Nur Ghost Town, and Helan Mountain Ghost Town.

At this time, I heard Tian Gang say: "In the past, the most famous ghost city in China was the ghost town of Fengdu. Legend has it that this is the entrance to the Ghost Gate, but all the Yin Spirits who died in the land of China will eventually rush to the ghost city of Fengdu, and only after passing through the ghost city can they set foot on the Huangquan Road and rush to the Ghost Gate.

In this city, people and ghosts live together and do not interfere with each other. This is the crossroads of two worlds.

Strictly speaking, this ghost town of Fengdu is regarded as the official boundary between the two worlds of yin and yang. The other three ghost towns are different, and the reason why they are called ghost towns is not because of how many yin spirits there are, but because they are too dangerous.

I'll take the ghost town of Helan Mountain to give you an example, it is rumored that because of the bloody battle in the Hexi Corridor for many years, hundreds of miles from Yumen Pass to Anxi were covered with the bones of soldiers killed on both sides.

Therefore, strange things have occurred frequently in the Hexi Corridor over the years, even later, after the establishment of the six major capitals of the Tang Dynasty, it was clear that the enemy had been suppressed militarily, but there were still various 'non-combat' casualties. ”

When I heard the words 'non-combat casualties,' I immediately asked, "Non-combat casualties, what does that mean?" ”

"Let me tell you this, back then, the Tang army galloped across the Western Regions, and there was no opponent at all, and the foreign races such as Tuyuhun and Turkic were all uprooted by the Tang Dynasty.

And countries such as Tubo were also afraid of the strength of the Tang Dynasty and took the initiative to reconcile with the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the Tang Dynasty established six major capitals.

At that time, it was not uncommon for small groups of soldiers to disappear en masse when they went out on duty. At that time, a general in charge of the Western Regions was called Gao Xianzhi, and at that time, everyone thought that he had either encountered wind and sand, or had encountered a wolf pack and was attacked and killed.

Or, it was attacked by a small group of enemy troops, or sand bandits. Anyway, no one ever knew where these missing troops went.

The reason is simple, because no missing person ever comes back alive.

It wasn't until the end, after Gao Xianzhi had experienced something himself, that he understood. At that time, Shi Guo, one of the nine surnames of Zhaowu in the Western Regions, colluded with the Persian rebellion. Gao Xianzhi led troops to suppress it at that time.

At that time, Gao Xianzhi marched all the way west, and the lone army fought deep into the borders of the Persian State and fought under the city of Hengluo. However, it should be the rebellion of his subordinates, so he was defeated and returned home.

Although the army was defeated, don't forget, Gao Xianzhi was a large army at the beginning, and although it was defeated, it did not become a rout. Even the Persian legions did not dare to pursue, and this is the proof.

Some historians have verified that there should have been at least a combined army of more than 10,000 infantry and cavalry under Gao Xianzhi at that time. But when they returned home, something happened.

At that time, there was a rumor in the Western Regions that during the summer wind season, the wind would bring the souls of the dead in hell back to the world. Therefore, during the typhoon season, especially in mid-July, it is absolutely not allowed to camp outside.

As for this rule, if it were changed in normal times, everyone would still abide by it. But at that time, Gao Xianzhi and the others had just been defeated, so where was they in the mood to abide by this kind of Rausch rules.

What's more, although they were defeated at that time, they were still considered strong soldiers, more than 10,000 bloody men, and they didn't pay attention to any ghosts and gods.

Therefore, they camped more than a hundred miles away from the present-day Yumen Pass. However, that night, they encountered a hundred ghosts who had not been seen for a hundred years! ”

Hearing Tian Gang say this, I was taken aback: 'Hundred ghosts walking at night? ’

Tian Gang shook his head: "According to the records of the survivors, when Tai was that night, Gao Xianzhi and the others were actually a little hairy. Therefore, a lot of spare fuel was specially taken out, and a lot of torches were lit in the entire barracks gates, main roads, big tents and other important places, so that they were brightly lit.

But in the second half of the night, all of a sudden, the wind blew fiercely, and the fire in the whole barracks, as if it had been promised, even those with lampshades, were all extinguished at once.

After those lights went out, the whole barracks fell into darkness, and at this time, the soldiers realized that the moonlight that sprinkled down from the dark clouds in the sky was actually blood red!

That night, countless undead who rushed out of hell continued to harvest life on the ground. Gao Xianzhi and their army of 10,000 saw that by dawn, there were barely more than 200 people left.

Later, Gao Xianzhi gritted his teeth and brought the remaining more than 200 people back to Yumen Pass. In this way, after the more than 200 people returned, more than half of them became outright madmen.

And Gao Xianzhi received a military punishment because of this incident, and later encouraged his descendants to find a way to find out why there was a hundred ghosts walking at night.

No one has been able to give an explanation for the mystery of the Hundred Ghosts' Night Walk until now, but at that time, there were two Heavenly Masters who went to the Jade Gate Guards and gave them a suggestion. ”

I hurriedly asked, "What are they proposing?" ”
