Chapter 19 Shangyao Village
After Gu Wenmin changed the topic, he said, "Two days ago, Xiao Dou called me and told me about you. Therefore, I went to check the matter about the Yashan Treasure Palace. "According to Gu Wenmin's description, I finally know the true face of this Yashan Treasure Palace. It was hidden very deeply, and Gu Wenmin also used a lot of connections to investigate some clues from an archaeological file. Since she is in charge of solving cultural relics, she has a lot of ways to do this.
She handed me a copy of A4 paper and motioned for me to read the information first.
The interview here refers to some of the materials collected by the archaeological team members through various methods when researching certain clues, that is, the collected materials and the interviews of the people. This interview material comes from a place called Shangyao Village in Baoxi Township, Guangxi.
็ป refers to the Yin and Yang lines that constitute the basic hexagrams in the Taoist Yi Hexagram, which is common in some metaphysical classics, but most ordinary people rarely use this word. Therefore, this Shangyao Village, I only look at its name to know that there must be a hidden history behind this village, or that place.
Guangxi, also known as 'Bagui', is said to be because in 214 BC, after Qin Shi Huang unified China, he collected the land of Baiyue, and set up three counties of Guilin, Xiang County and Nanhai.
Guangxi borders Yunnan and is also a multi-ethnic gathering place, among which the Zhuang nationality is the most, so the full name is Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Prefecture. Since ancient times, there are many ancient countries in the Bagui area, because most of the people in Guidi are Baiyue people, so the history books call it Baiyue, so the current Zhuang people are the descendants of the ancient Baiyue tribe Xiou and Luoyue branches.
On this land, there have been countless large and small vassal states, and this archaeological data originated from the archaeological team that was looking for an ancient country called 'Luo Yue'.
The era of Luo Yue people's activities is roughly from the Warring States period to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and in history it is often called Ou Luo with the West Ou, the ancient Luo Yue country has a vast area, from Yunnan in the west, to Guangdong in the east, and then because the Han Dynasty summarized the world, and gradually disappeared in the long river of history, so for the mystery of Luo Yue culture, there have been many relevant staff in searching.
At that time, an archaeological team went to Shangyao Village to interview, and bizarrely, they did not visit Wรจn to find any clues about Luo Yue, but instead heard a strange legend.
It is said that only four or five kilometers away from Shangya Village is a crater, and there is only one passage into the mountain, which is called a ray of heaven. It is said that the crater is not actually a real mountain, but a mound of artificial accumulation in the later period, where did so much soil come from? Local folklore, during the Ming Dynasty, there was an army to open a mine here, and later the mine was dug up, and a place called 'Asan Treasure Palace' was established here, the Zhuang people did not have their own writing, and later generations mostly used Chinese, and some of the older generation were half-hanging, so they often made mistakes.
What is this Yashan Treasure Hall used for?
This involves a very strange legend, according to legend, the army in the mining process, suddenly dug out a stream of black smoke yellow soup, the yellow water instantly immersed the human calf, black smoke filled, the sky is dark, in this hazy black smoke, a beautiful, ingenious, vast treasure hall appeared in the eyes of everyone.
Someone immediately realized, could it be the legendary Yellow Spring Water and the Yin Si Treasure Palace? The people in the army are mining, didn't they alarm the Yellow Springs leyline? Not long after, the black smoke cleared, the yellow soup flowed back into the ground, the earth collapsed, and the veins were completely buried. At that time, in the mining team, there was also a strange person who supervised the mining operation called 'Wu Yanshi', who was a famous feng shui master at that time, after hearing about this time, he said that the excavation of the ore vein, the underground yin qi, I am afraid that it will cause the dissatisfaction of the Yin Division, and it is necessary to build a treasure hall in the underworld for the ghosts and gods to enter and exit, and the shape of the treasure hall is cast according to the Yin Si treasure hall that appeared in the black smoke.
After the temple was built, he ordered the people around him not to approach the temple. It is said that Kamiya Village originally lived in the vicinity in ancient times, but it was forced to relocate to where it is now.
This is all the content of the information, seeing that I finished reading it, Gu Wenmin said: "What do you think?" โ
I couldn't help but knock on the table and said, "There are two points, first: this place was once developed during the Ming Dynasty, and it should also be related to the statue of the Bodhisattva of the Jizo King in the tomb of Princess Geger; Second: This place is not an ancient tomb, but a so-called complex built in imitation of the Yin Si Treasure Palace, what can there be in that place? "Why was my grandfather attracted to it?
Is this Asan Treasure Hall the same as the Yasan Treasure Hall I am looking for?
Gu Wenmin nodded and said, "In terms of Princess Geger's time, the construction time of the treasure hall coincides, as for whether it exists or not, I have inquired about this, guess what I heard?" Looking at Gu Wenmin's stern expression, I squinted my eyes and motioned for her to continue, Gu Wenmin said: "That archaeological team, when I heard such a bizarre thing, of course I had to check it out, but it turned out that there were six people in the group, five were missing, only one remained, and that person was still crazy, and lived in a psychiatric hospital for twelve years, and finally died." โ
I chuckled and said, "Crazy? What's going on? โ
Gu Wenmin lowered his voice and said: "I also visited the doctor in the mental hospital at that time, and it is said that when the crazy man was admitted to the hospital for a review of his condition, he said some very terrible words, and I recorded these words. As he spoke, he handed me another piece of paper with beautiful handwriting on it.
Because some psychosis arises after some kind of great stimulus, in terms of treatment, there is a retrospective method, that is, the patient is asked to recall the experience that stimulated him. It is conceivable that Gu Wenmin must have been running for a long time in order to figure out the affairs of the Yashan Treasure Palace, and I was naturally moved in my heart, so I looked down the paper, and on it was a conversation between a doctor and a patient recorded by Gu Wenmin.
Doctor: "Do you know why you're here?" โ
Patient: "I know, I'm not crazy......"
Almost most mentally ill people say this, and the doctor continues, "Do you remember what happened to you before you entered the hospital?" โ
"Remember, we went into the mountains."
Doctor: "And then, what's in the mountains?" โ
"There's nothing in the mountains."
The doctor frowned, and asked in a different way: "There must be something in the mountains, such as birds, beasts, you and your companions, what have you experienced in it?" โ
The patient's face turned terrified: "They disappeared and were eaten." โ
The doctor knocked on the table with a pen, feeling that this person was very irritated, and what he said was completely illogical, and there was little hope for him to get better by reviewing his condition, but the nonsense of the mentally ill was actually a subconscious expression, so the doctor continued to ask: "So, how were they eaten, and what were they?" Why aren't you being eaten? โ
After three questions in quick succession, the patient was a little unresponsive, frowning in thought, and after a moment, recounted an incoherent and strange experience: "There was a house there, and they were eaten by the house. I kept running, and there were many houses on the ground, and each of them had eyes, and then I fell from the ground to the sky......"
Doctor: "......"
After a while, after sorting out his thoughts, the doctor patiently continued to ask, "What kind of house is it that eats them?" The doctor did not believe the patient's words at all, these were the patient's conjectures, but the specific images of the imaginary sometimes expressed the patient's inner condition, so he asked a question that seemed very inexplicable to the layman.
Jean handed the patient a piece of paper, and then the patient drew a strange picture, this painting, the old doctor still remembered, so he drew it to Gu Wenmin, and Gu Wenmin drew it on the paper in my hand at the moment.
It wasn't a house at all, but a pointed face, like a fox, with a wide open mouth and a few black spots in its mouth.
I asked Gu Wenmin, "What do these black dots mean?" โ
Gu Wenmin shook her head and said, "I don't know, the doctor also asked this question at the time, but didn't get an answer, but ......" She seemed to have her own thoughts, tilted her head, stared at the strange 'house', and said: "There are five black dots, I suspect, this represents the five people who were eaten." โ
I said, "The people of the archaeological team just disappeared, didn't anyone go to search and rescue them later?" Gu Wenmin shook his head and said, "I have also investigated, but this matter seems to be over, maybe something happened later, but no relevant records were found." โ
After a pause, she said, "You're definitely going, aren't you?" โ
She knew me well, and even if it was only a 1 in 10 chance, I had to make sure, so I nodded.
Gu Wenmin said: "When are we leaving?" โ
I said, "It's me, not us, Wen Min, I know what you mean, but I can't let you take any more risks?" โ
Gu Wenmin said: "I'm not just for you, as a policeman, I have the obligation to find out the reason for the disappearance of the archaeological team back then." "I know she's just making excuses, but I know very well Gu Da Meinu's character, she won't make decisions randomly, but what she has decided is that a few cows can't pull it back, and now, she can only go again.
When the two of us finished discussing these things, when we went out, Xiao Jing was pestering Tofu to ask questions, Tofu was pestered by her, and when she saw me come out, she immediately seemed to have caught a savior, saying: "He is your man, you can ask him if you have any questions." "Now, I don't plan to hide it, but Xiao Jing is an outsider after all, and there are many things that she knows, but it's not good, so I hid something and only said that I was going to find my grandfather.
Xiao Jing believed it and immediately said, "I'll go with you too." โ
