The Japanese army, which claimed to be invincible in the world, was unable to do anything when faced with this small mud pit. They finally had to admit defeat and no longer sent people to stand guard at the pit. They only cordoned off the surrounding area. But after that, there were still a few Japanese soldiers. .As if possessed by something, he jumped into the pit one after another.

The female translator was very curious about this incident recorded in the file because she thought it was so incredible and so weird that it was almost impossible to believe it was true. However, official files showed that this kind of thing did happen.

When she told her uncle Ono about the incident in the file, Ono was also very shocked. Although he was very knowledgeable and an expert in biomedicine, he was very scientifically literate, but he was not familiar with the wonderful phenomena of this strange pit. .Ono couldn’t explain it either.

Therefore, the female translator came to our area. In addition to looking for the whereabouts of Inoue's manuscript, she also wanted to focus on investigating the strange pit.

But according to the records in the file, the female translator felt that it would be very dangerous to investigate the strange pit without knowing anything about it.

Therefore, before coming to China, she first went to see a scholar who graduated from Waseda University. This scholar specializes in studying Chinese history and culture. He is over ninety years old. He is an authoritative expert in Japanese Sinology. He is very knowledgeable about all aspects of China. I understand. Not only that, his knowledge of Chinese medicine is also very profound. Therefore, the female translator wanted to ask this old scholar what the strange pit was about.

Although the old scholar was over ninety years old, he was still deaf, his eyesight was clear, his thinking was quick, and his mind was clear. After hearing the female translator's description of the strange pit, the old scholar was shocked.

Because this was so unexpected. Because he didn't expect that this strange pit really existed.

It turns out that an old scholar had seen this strange pit in a medical book. And that medical book was said to have been introduced to Japan from China during the Tang Dynasty.

According to the medical book, as early as the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shihuang hired many alchemists to refine elixirs for him in order to become immortal.

One of the most famous Taoist priests was said to be Xu Fu's senior brother. He had the highest cultivation level and was the most valued by Qin Shihuang. At that time, this man was already more than 120 years old, but his hair was still black and he had not lost any teeth.

At first, Qin Shihuang didn't believe this man's age. After asking about his hometown, he sent people to investigate secretly. Because the man's hometown was far away from Xianyang, two or three people were sent. He came back only after a month.

People who came back from the investigation said that the exact age of this person could no longer be determined. But after asking several local elderly people in their 70s and 80s, they all said that they had known this Taoist priest when they were children, and what he looked like at that time. He looks almost the same as he does now. In other words, more than seventy years have passed and his appearance has basically not changed.

In this way, Qin Shihuang was convinced of this man's abilities and treated him with even greater courtesy.

This man also worked very hard. He chose a place called "Yinxi Mountain" and began to make alchemy for Qin Shihuang. His method of making alchemy was very special and completely different from ordinary alchemists.

The "Yinshan Mountain" has a radius of several hundred miles. In order to choose a location for alchemy, this person spent more than a month inspecting the mountain. Finally, he chose a location.

This place is very strange. This place is an acre of stone land. It is incredibly smooth and smooth. It seems that someone has polished it. The Taoist priest asked someone to take a stone ball and put it on this smooth stone surface. There was no The slightest rolling means that the smooth stone ground is absolutely horizontal without any inclination.

It's incredible that there is such a smooth and flat stone land in the mountains.

What's even more incredible is that the Taoist priest actually asked someone to dig a hole on this smooth stone flat ground. This task was too difficult. But the Taoist priest was a favorite of the First Emperor, so no one dared to refute him.

The local officials did their best to find hundreds of local stonemasons and began to carve out the stone floor. These hundreds of people continued to carve down the stone floor regardless of the severe heat or winter, day and night.

But the stone here is indeed too hard. The masons worked extremely hard to cut it. It took them two years to cut more than half a man deep. And in these two years, there were hundreds of stone masons. Masons died of exhaustion and illness.

Two years later, on a full-moon night, the Taoist priest inspected the excavation situation and told the masons that the huge stone would be drilled tonight. So he ordered all the masons to go into battle.

When they heard that this local life was coming to an end, the masons were extremely excited because they had not been able to go home once in the past two years. Except for eating and sleeping, they spent all their time chiseling stones.

What made them even more unbearable was that they were forced to drink a decoction that was difficult to swallow with every meal. If they did not drink it, they would be taken out and beaten to death.

Over the past two years, because of long-term consumption of this decoction, every stonemason has a special smell. The smell is very good. It is a faint fragrance. And even the feces and urine they poop have this smell. fragrance.

But after drinking this decoction, they will feel weak and lose their appetite. Even if they are very hungry, it is difficult to eat. Over time, they will become skinny and skinny, and every bone joint in their body will become weak. pain.

Therefore, this kind of life is really too painful and torturous for the masons. They all dream of going home early. Therefore, when they hear the Taoist priest say that the work will be completed tonight, how can they not be extremely excited? Everyone is excited. He used all his strength, shouted slogans, and dug hard.

In the early morning, the masons suddenly felt that the extremely hard stone suddenly became brittle and soft, and a piece of it would fall off with just a slight touch. In this way, the masons felt that the Taoist priest was right. It really is necessary. After the hole was drilled, he became even more excited and shouted louder.

At this moment, there was only a pop sound. The stone that had been chiseled for two years was pierced at this moment. But what the masons did not expect was that all of them had not had time. With a cry, they all fell in. No one was spared.

Just like that, these poor masons all sank into the stone pit that was dug through. No one was seen alive, and no corpse was found when they died. On the next day, a lot of mud suddenly gushes out of the stone pit. This formed a mud pit.

This mud pit is very strange. If anything falls on it, it will sink. Even a leaf, let alone a person.

And the Taoist priest dug out some mud from these pits and used the mud to cultivate some mushrooms. Then he used the juice of these mushrooms to boil the crystals and used them as a raw material for refining elixirs. But in the end, I don’t know what happened. For whatever reason, the elixir was still not finally made. Some people said that although the elixir was made, Qin Shihuang had already died by then. Anyway, Qin Shihuang never took this elixir.

But since then, this pit has been there. It has existed for more than two thousand years. It has not gotten bigger, but it has not gotten smaller, nor has it disappeared. In the following dynasties, many "weird things" happened around this strange pit. ”.

Almost every year, for some unknown reason, as long as someone passes by nearby and smells the smell emanating from the pit, they can't help but follow the smell and walk over to take a look. And as soon as they approach this strange pit, they will feel like they are possessed. Jump into the pit. Then you will sink in instantly and disappear without a trace.

Later, I don’t know from which dynasty, the officials also discovered this strange pit. At first, they wanted to fill it with soil. But many of the people who filled it jumped into the pit and disappeared because of the smell. It's too irresistible. Although you can cover your mouth and nose temporarily, over time, you will still be fascinated by the smell and jump into the pit unconsciously.

Later, there was no other way. I placed a lot of trees around the pit and wrapped the strange pit in the woods. In this way, the smell was much weaker. There were also fewer people jumping into the pit every year. a lot of.

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a famous doctor. After learning about this strange pit, he risked his life and visited the pit many times to observe. According to his observation, this pit is where the energy of the mountain converges.

The Qi of the mountain is a special kind of Yin Qi. It is extremely powerful. When it encounters positive things, it will be quickly absorbed into it. And the mud in the pit is also very different from ordinary mud. This kind of mud is actually The medicinal decoction is very strong and the smell can make people confused and hallucinate, making them want to jump into a pit.

This famous doctor of the Tang Dynasty specially prepared a kind of medicine, and then sprinkled the medicine he prepared into the pit every once in a while. This lasted for three years. The smell emanating from the pit was... It turned into a faint smell of rotten eggs. Compared with the original highly tempting smell, it was much weaker.

In this way, even if people are near the pit, they will not be easily tempted by the smell to jump into it.

But even this kind of rotten egg smell can still cause hallucinations after being smelled for a long time, and it is also possible to be tempted to jump into the pit. This is especially true for those who are sensitive to smells.

After listening to what the Japanese sinologist said, the female translator was very shocked. She could not have imagined that there were such legendary stories surrounding this pit.

This sinologist's understanding of strange pits is really important to the female translator.

The female translator did not hide it from the Sinologist. She said she was going to China soon and wanted to take a field trip to the strange pit. However, she did not want to put on a gas mask. Is there any way to ensure safety and not be confused by the smell of rotten eggs? And jump into the pit?

The Japanese sinologist smiled slightly and said that this problem could be easily solved. He gave the female translator some medicine and asked her to drink a pack every time she went to the strange pit. Then there would be no problem.
