Chapter 28: The City God's Mansion and the Coffin Mountain
And every time there are some special festivals, such as Qingming, or July 15, that place is also quite weird.
On a normal day, there will be fog in the area, and the fog will be very heavy.
Once you pass by that place, you don't feel comfortable up and down.
Even, some people with weak bodies or low yang qi will get sick and lie down for a few days.
"There's someone there who can help us."
Big brother, he replied to me.
After hearing this, I muttered in my heart, I really don't know what my eldest brother is looking for.
Because the "Guancha Mountain" is dozens of miles away from Beicun, my eldest brother rode a motorcycle directly and took me over.
It didn't take long for my eldest brother and I to get to the place.
I heard that in the past, there was a big town in this place, but later the Yellow River flooded, and the town was flooded.
After that, it was deserted.
And the most striking thing about this place is, of course, the unique mountain.
In the past, this mountain was actually called "Coffin Mountain", because if you look at it from some angles, you will see that the appearance of this mountain is indeed somewhat similar to the coffin.
And the reason why this place had a town before is also because it is very particular.
In the past, the court officials would have special positions and feng shui masters who could be regarded as feng shui.
One year, the feng shui master passed by this place and found this mountain, which looked a bit like a coffin.
He saw that the feng shui formation in this place was a little bad, and there was a possibility that the earth qi would leak out.
The most important thing is that if you force it to break it, it will break things.
So, the feng shui master reported the matter, and said that if he didn't think about suppressing it, I was afraid that something big would happen.
After the official court learned about it, it also asked the feng shui master to find a way.
The feng shui master laid out a plan, first built a city god mansion, in order to resolve the trouble.
After that, it was proposed that the imperial court officials relocate some people and live here into a town.
The so-called town actually means "suppression".
Moreover, once there are people living here, it can subtly calm down the atmosphere in the mountains.
Moreover, the feng shui master is even more secret, making people release some rumors, saying that this place is a treasure of feng shui, but if you live here, future generations can be promoted to official errands.
With the mobilization of the official court on the surface, coupled with the secret promotion of this feng shui master, sure enough, someone moved here.
However, this feng shui master is not talking nonsense.
Because the people who lived in this town later did have a lot of bad officials.
It is precisely for this reason that the original "Coffin Mountain" was later renamed "Guancha Mountain".
First, the previous name was a bit unlucky, and second, if it was changed to the second name, it would echo the situation at that time.
That is, from that time until now, this place is also called "Guancha Mountain", and the former town is also called "Guancai Town".
My eldest brother and I are now walking towards the City God's Mansion.
Because, the road ahead is really not easy to walk, and it is full of potholes.
If you continue to ride your motorcycle, you can simply throw it upside down.
Of course, where the City God's Mansion is located now, there is only one left, and it is almost impossible to see the old site!
Because, in the movement a few decades ago, this city god mansion was first smashed, and then a fire broke out in the middle of the night, and it was directly burned clean.
I heard that there was also an old man who was beaten into the "Four Olds" and watched the Chenghuang Mansion and was burned alive.
Soon, my eldest brother and I came to the vicinity of the old site of the City God's Mansion.
Here, if you are far from the Guancha Mountain, there are not a few steps away.
Now, looking at the few remaining trees in front of me, a black mountain peak stands not far away, which really gives people an indescribable sense of oppression.
After the eldest brother arrived here, he put the melons, fruits, pears, peaches, and a few boxes of snacks on the ground.
Immediately afterward, he took out another wad of paper coins.
Then, he took the incense out of the bag.
"Don't be stupid, you can take it too."
While the eldest brother was talking, he also took out four tribute incense sticks in his hand and handed them to me.
After receiving the incense from my eldest brother, I couldn't help frowning.
Because, this tribute incense is also exquisite, the so-called gods three ghosts and four.
It seems that the eldest brother is obviously going to pay tribute to the ghost!
This made me involuntarily look around, only to feel that there was something around us, not knowing where something was staring at us.
The eldest brother had already lit the incense, and he handed me the lighter again.
I also quickly lit the incense.
Then, the eldest brother began to talk there, which was nothing more than some polite words.
When the eldest brother finished speaking, he respectfully inserted the tribute incense in his hand into the ground in front of him.
I followed closely behind my eldest brother and also put the tribute incense aside.
After doing all this, the eldest brother didn't say anything more, and just stood there quietly, looking like he was waiting for something.
I also didn't make a sound, and I stood still like my eldest brother.
But I was still stealing, looking around.
It's just that it's quiet all around, and you can't even hear insects and birds.
It's also strange to say, my eldest brother and I used to come from Guancai Town, and on the way here, we could still hear some movements.
But when I got here, there was no sound at all.
"Whew......!"
Suddenly, the place located at the former site of the City God's Mansion turned out to be extremely abrupt, and a whirlwind blew.
And, the whirlwind soon came to our neighborhood.
Then, the whirlwind was even more strange, and began to revolve around the ground and the offerings that had been placed.
With the whirlwind, after a few rotations in the position of the tribute, it dispersed directly there.
However, I did see some images that surprised me.
It was the incense that was planted on the ground, and when the whirlwind passed, it burned much faster.
And all the smoke that floated out of the tribute incense also converged towards the whirlwind.
The point is that the smoke that drifted past vaguely outlined the outline of a human figure!
Of course, that's just a feeling for me.
If I had to take it seriously, maybe I just thought too much.
