At midnight, I heard the miserable cries of countless people in my ears, and I saw in a daze that a woman was being imprisoned in a huge cage, looking at me anxiously, behind which there was a huge whirlpool of black mist, and an invisible force was pulling the cage into the whirlpool, and some strange figures were constantly approaching me.

The woman in the cage stretched out her hand to me and shouted loudly: Luo Fusheng, use the black Taiji mirror quickly, use the black Taiji mirror quickly, and ......

The woman's screams made me panic and anxious, so I picked up something and slashed at the approaching figure with murderous intent, and soon the flying flesh splattered me all over my body......

I woke up with a stirring spirit, and my hand was still clenched and waved violently, and with the last swing of my hand, I saw several neatly placed books on the desk a meter away from my bed, "clattering" to the ground, as if someone had scratched it down.

I had this dream again.

It was as if the nightmare was real, and the ability that appeared from time to time, reminded me that something was happening to me.

These strange things happened to me more and more frequently, until half a month ago, when a notebook called "Strange Tales of Mountains and Rivers" and a box with an ancient atmosphere were placed in front of me, I seemed to recall those memories of my past life that were sleeping in my blood.

Someone sent me a hand-bound notebook with the words "Mountains and Rivers Strange Things" written on the cover with a brush, which recorded nearly 1,000 supernatural events that occurred in Shanhe Village before the liberation, and in these events, the truth I wanted to find was hidden.

My hometown is in Shanhe Village, a small mountain village in the northeast, which was occupied by the Japanese army for a long time before the liberation.

In those dark days, all kinds of supernatural events continued to occur in this small mountain village, and people recorded the horrors that happened during those years in addition to fear.

And what prompted people to do so was a legendary woman who disappeared during the Anti-Japanese War - Kim Tae-chi.

It is rumored that Jin Tazhi is the descendant of the most bizarre black Taiji Gate, and she once used blood as a curse and body sacrifice at midnight on a cold winter day to open the gate of hell and bring a team of devils into hell.

Even in the darkest and painful days, even when they could not protect themselves, the villagers of Shanhe Village did not forget to find the whereabouts of Jin Taizhi, and continued to look for traces of the Black Taiji Gate from various supernatural events.

It is said that the Black Taiji Gate has appeared since ancient times, and it is passed on by one person, and the previous generation will not die until the next generation of descendants is found.

Therefore, the villagers always believed that Jin Tazhi must still be alive, so they recorded every supernatural event that happened in Shanhe Village in the more than 20 years before the liberation.

These recorded supernatural events were finally sorted out more than 1,000 pieces of various supernatural events, and bound and named "Mountains and Rivers Strange Things".

In recent years, there have been more and more strange events that have happened to me, and I have found that they are all related to the Black Taiji Gate, so I began to analyze the supernatural events recorded in this notebook "Strange Tales of Mountains and Rivers" day and night, hoping to find out more information related to the Black Taiji Gate, but there is no more gain.

Look at the box that came to my hand with the notes of "Strange Things of Mountains and Rivers", which is now on the desk, and the ancient lines on the box are like auspicious clouds and flowing water, which looks simple and simple, but gives people a solemn feeling.

The box contains nine paintings and a round discus, this discus is carved with simple lines on one side, with an ancient atmosphere, held in the hand, a trace of cold air from the discus penetrates into the fingertips, instantly suppresses and dissolves the anxiety and dry heat that I often feel in my body, and it is very comfortable.

The other side of the discus is engraved with eight small characters "Bleak Purgatory, My Feast", these words are deeply embedded in the discus, and there seems to be some mottled red on it, I don't know what it is dyed with.

Hengzhu couldn't sleep, so I got up and opened the notebook "Strange Tales of Mountains and Rivers".

The first thing recorded in this note is about a paranormal event at a midnight funeral party.

In August 1928, the exact date is no longer known, Wei Tianci, a native of Shanhe Village, was taken away by a funeral procession that suddenly appeared at the door of his house at midnight, and has since disappeared and never been seen again.

In Shanhe Village at that time, there was a street called Daxiang Street, which was the most prosperous main street in the village, and on this street, a shop at the end of the street was a coffin shop opened by Yang Yunong.

Yang Yunong has a family of nine, old and young, and the whole family relies on this coffin shop to make a living, so he is very concerned about the operation of this coffin shop.

In addition to selling coffins, his coffin shop also sells all kinds of paper ties, paper money, funeral clothes, etc., and his income is barely enough to support the whole family.

Later, Yang Yunong got another funeral team.

In Yang Yunong's funeral team, there are all kinds of people who blow and beat, cry and carry the coffin, and even if there is a need to stop the spirit, but there is nowhere to put it at home, the coffin can also be carried to an empty courtyard of Yang Yunong, and a funeral ceremony will be held in this courtyard.

Although Yang Yunong's shop is said to be at the end of the street, it is actually located outside the village, 100 meters away from the nearest shop to him, and there is a large open space in the middle to separate it, so even if Yang Yunong beats gongs and drums every day, it will not affect the business of other families.

But seeing that the business of Yang Yunong's coffin shop is getting better and better, even the family of someone who has died in Shili Eight Village will come to invite him. This has caused some people to be jealous.

Among this jealous person is the owner of the grocery store closest to him, Wei Tianci.

Whenever Yang Yunong's family undertook the funeral, Wei Tianci felt uncomfortable, although the gongs, drums, suona and cries had become extremely weak after passing through the open space, but he still felt uncomfortable, and went to Yang Yunong several times to theorize, but nothing came of it.

Unexpectedly, Wei Tianci did not give up, and began his commotion.

He first found a fortune teller, saying that Yang Yunong's coffin shop had affected the feng shui of an entire street, and then lobbied door-to-door on this street, so that everyone collectively opposed Yang Yunong's funeral team and forced him to close the door.

Yang Yunong's family all rely on this coffin shop to live, what do you eat when the coffin shop is closed?

So even in the face of everyone's provocation, Yang Yunong will never close the coffin shop.

Wei Tianci saw that he couldn't help Yang Yunong after uniting so many people, and he was even more angry, and then he didn't know what way to go, so he first found Lizheng in the village, and then found an official from the township, and brought a lot of people over.

These people went straight to Yang Yunong's coffin shop, saying that the coffin shop had affected the feng shui of the village, and was forcibly demolished, and the things in the shop were smashed to pieces, and even more than a dozen coffins were chopped one by one with axes.

In the pushing, Yang Yunong also received a lot of punches and kicks.

After these people smashed and left, Yang Yunong became seriously ill due to his external injuries and rapid attacks, and his family hired a car to take him to the city overnight for treatment.

At midnight that day, Wei Tianci, who lived closest to Yang Yu's farmhouse, heard the sound of gongs, drums and suona from the direction of Yang Yu's farmhouse, and the cries of everyone and the ringing of bells, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped at the door of his house.

Wei Tianci had already fallen asleep at that time, and was woken up by the sound of suona gongs and drums, so he listened to the sound getting louder and closer, and even stopped at the door of his house at the end.

Wei Tianci thought that the Yang family was deliberately provoking him, so he went out with his clothes and shoes.

Wei Tianci went out, the gongs and drums and suona outside also stopped, there was no movement for a long time, and after a while, the sound started again, but it seemed to be gradually gone, but Wei Tianci did not come back.

Wei Tianci's wife was worried, so she also put on her clothes and came out to see, and saw the funeral procession of Yang Yun's farmer's family carrying a large coffin, blowing and blowing in the direction of Yang Yun's farmer's store, crying and shaking the sky, and ringing bells and scattering paper money, Wei Tianci followed behind with his head down, and the group walked forward on the street at midnight.

Wei Tianci's wife wondered that Wei Tianci went out to reason with the funeral team of this Yang Yu farmer's family, how could he follow the funeral team? I was about to call him, but then, something incredible happened.

Not far ahead, in the middle of the street, the mighty group of people suddenly disappeared out of thin air, including Wei Tianci.

Wei Tianci's wife rubbed her eyes, looked ahead in disbelief, boundless fear rose up, and she ran back to the house screaming.

This matter spread quickly throughout the village, and even spread to the provincial capital, which sent people to investigate, and Wei Tianci's wife said that the gongs, drums, suona, and cries sounded that night.

But the families living next door to his house didn't hear anything.

The Wei family suspected that Yang Yunong was a ghost in order to take revenge, but when the investigation was carried out to Yang Yunong's house, the Yang family said that the whole family had followed the car to the provincial hospital that day, and Yang Yunong died in the evening after being sent to the hospital that day.

It was getting late, and they stayed at a relative's house in the city, and the relatives could testify. So on the night of Wei Tianci's disappearance, there was no one in their family.

When I went to investigate the people in Yang Yunong's funeral team, I couldn't find any of them, and no one in the village knew them, and the villagers always thought that those people were invited back by Yang Yunong from other villages.

Later, some people said that this Yang Yunong also had an eldest son, named Yang Chenglin, and a fortune teller saw it when he was a child, saying that he was extremely special, and he could not live to be eight years old, and he must become a monk to learn Taoism in order to prolong his life, so Yang Yunong sent this son to learn Taoism very early.

Later, people speculated that the funeral procession that suddenly appeared at midnight may have been made by Yang Yunong's eldest son, Yang Chenglin.

After this incident spread, everyone began to recall Yang Yunong's funeral team, and the more they thought about it, the more suspicious they felt, because according to the fees of gong and drummers and suona craftsmen at that time, as well as Yang Yucheng's fees for a funeral, it was found that he invited so many people to be this funeral team and did not make money at all, and even lost money after paying these people's wages.

Could it be that Yang Yunong's funeral team is really a group of paper people who don't need wages?

Later, this incident spread more and more widely, and some people who invited Yang Yu's funeral team recalled that they had never seen anyone in Yang Yucheng's funeral team talk, drink water, and eat, and sometimes beat gongs and drum suona from morning to night, as if they would never be tired.

Since then, Wei Tianci has disappeared and has never returned.
