Chapter 19 Shangyao Village

After Gu Wenmin changed the topic, he said, "Two days ago, Xiao Dou called me and told you about it. So, I went to check the matter about the Yashan Palace." According to Gu Wenmin's description, I finally learned the true face of the Yashan Palace. It is hidden very deeply, and Gu Wenmin also used a lot of connections to investigate some clues from an archaeological archive. Since she is responsible for solving cultural relics, there are many tricks in this regard.

She handed me a copy of the information copied on A4 paper and signaled me to read the information above first.

On the paper is an interview record. This interview is not an interview. The interview here refers to some information collected by archaeological team members through various methods when verifying certain clues, namely the collected information and private visits. This interview information comes from a place called Shangyao Village, Baoxi Township, Guangxi.

Yao refers to the Yin and Yang lines that form the basic hexagrams in the Taoist Yi hexagram. This character is common in some metaphysical classics, but most ordinary people rarely use this character. Therefore, I only look at its name and know that behind this village, or in that place, there must be a secret history.

Guangxi, also known as "Bagui", is said to be because in 214 BC, Qin Shihuang unified China and collected the land of Baiyue, setting up three counties: Guilin, Xiangjun and Nanhai.

Guangxi borders Dian and is also a gathering place for multi-ethnic groups, among which Zhuang people are the most, so the full name is Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Prefecture. Since ancient times, there have been many ancient countries in the Bagui area. Since most of the people in the Gui area are Baiyue people, history books call it Baiyue. Therefore, the current Zhuang people are descendants of the Xiou and Luoyue branches of the ancient Baiyue tribe.

Countless vassal states of all sizes emerged on this land. This archaeological data was caused by the archaeological team that they were looking for an ancient country called "Luo Yue".

The era when Luoyue people were active was roughly from the Warring States Period to the Eastern Han Dynasty. In history, it was often called Ouluo together with Xiou. The ancient Luoyue Kingdom was vast in area, starting from Yunnan in the west and Guangdong in the east. Later, it gradually disappeared into the long river of history because the Han Dynasty concluded the world. Therefore, many relevant staff have been searching for the mystery of Luoyue culture.

At that time, an archaeological team went to Shangyao Village for an interview. What was strange was that they did not visit clues about Luo Yue, but instead found a strange legend.

It is said that only four or five kilometers away from Shangyao Village is a crater. There is only one passage to enter the mountain, which is called a zigzag. It is said that the crater is not a real mountain, but a mound accumulated artificially in the later period. Where did so much soil come from? Local folk legends say that during the Ming Dynasty, an army once mined here. Later, after the mine was dug, a place called "Yashan Treasure Hall" was established here. The Zhuang people did not have their own writings, and later generations often used Chinese language. Some older generations were half-hearted, so they often misinterpreted the words.

What is this Yashan Treasure Hall used for?

This involves a very strange legend. According to legend, during the mining process, the army suddenly dug out a stream of yellow soup with black smoke. The yellow water instantly soaked in people's calves. The black smoke filled the sky and the earth was dark. In this hazy black smoke, a beautifully shaped, ingenious and vast palace appeared in everyone's eyes.

Someone immediately realized that this was the legendary Huangquan Water and Yinsi Temple? Did the people in the army shock the Huangquan Earthly Veins? Not long after, the black smoke dissipated, the yellow soup flowed back into the ground, the earth collapsed and the stones dispersed, and the mineral veins were completely buried. In the mining team at that time, there was also a strange man who supervised the mine transportation, called "Wu Yan Shi", a famous Feng Shui master at that time. After hearing this, he said that digging the mineral veins and moving the underground yin energy would probably cause dissatisfaction with the Yin Si. A temple in the underworld was built for ghosts and gods to enter and exit. The shape of the temple was cast according to the Yin Si Temple that appeared in the black smoke.

After the temple was built, the people around him were ordered not to be near the temple. It is said that Shangyao Village originally lived nearby in ancient times, but was forced to relocate and reached its current place.

This is all the content on the information. After seeing me reading it, Gu Wenmin said, "What do you think?"

I couldn't help knocking on the table and said, "There are two points. First: the mine veins were developed in the Ming Dynasty, which should be related to the statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in Princess Gege's tomb; Second: This place is not an ancient tomb, but a so-called building complex built in imitating the Yinsi Temple. What can there be in that place?" Why was my grandfather attracted to it back then?

Is this Yashan Treasure Hall the same as the Yashan Treasure Hall I am looking for?

Gu Wenmin nodded and said, "In Princess Gegele's time, the construction time of the temple is consistent. As for whether it exists or not, I have asked about it. Gu Wenmin's serious expression, I squinted my eyes and signaled her to continue. Gu Wenmin said, "When the archaeological team heard such a bizarre thing, of course they had to check it out. As a result, a group of six people, five were missing, and only one was left. That person was still crazy. He lived in a mental hospital for twelve years and finally died."

My heart skipped a beat and I said, "Crazy? What's going on?"

Gu Wenmin lowered his voice and said, "I also visited the doctor in the mental hospital at that time. 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 them." As he said that, he handed me another piece of paper with beautiful handwritten words.

Because some mental illnesses are caused by some great stimulation, in terms of treatment, there is a way to review the condition, that is, let the patient recall the experience that stimulated him. It can be imagined that in order to figure out the matter of the Yashan Palace, Gu Wenmin must have been running around for a long time. I was naturally moved and looked down the paper. The above is a conversation between the doctor and the patient recorded by Gu Wenmin.

Doctor: "Do you know why you are here?"

Patient: "I know, I'm not crazy..."

Almost most mentally ill patients say this, and the doctor continues to ask: "You still remember what happened to you before entering the hospital?"

"Remember, we entered the mountain."

Doctor: "Then what, what's in the mountains?"

“There is nothing in the mountains.”

The doctor frowned and asked in a different way: "There must be some things in the mountains, such as birds, beasts, you and your companions, what have you experienced in it?"

The patient's face became very frightened: "They disappeared and were eaten."

The doctor knocked on the table with a pen, feeling that the person was stimulating very seriously, and he said nothing logically. He had little hope for the improvement of the condition review. However, the nonsense of mental patients is actually a subconscious expression. Therefore, the doctor continued to ask: "So, how were they eaten, what were they eaten? Why didn't you eat?"

After three consecutive questions, the patient couldn't react and frowned and thought. After a moment, he described a strange and incoherent experience: "There is a house there, and they were eaten by the house. I kept running, and there were many houses on the ground, each house had eyes, and then I fell from the ground to the sky..."

doctor:"……"

After a moment, the doctor sorted out his thoughts and continued to ask patiently: "What kind of house is it to eat them?" The doctor completely disbelief of the patient's words. These are the patient's imagination, but the specific image of the imagination sometimes also expresses the patient's inner condition. Therefore, he asked a question that seems to be inexplicable to the outsider.

He asked to hand the patient a piece of paper, and then the patient drew a strange painting. The old doctor still remembered this painting freshly, so he drew it to Gu Wenmin, and Gu Wenmin drew it on the paper in my hand at this moment.

It was not a house at all, but a pointed face, like a fox, with a big mouth open and a few black spots in its mouth.

I asked Gu Wenmin: "What do these black dots mean?"

Gu Wenmin shook her head and said, "I don't know, the doctor asked this question at that time, but there was no answer, but..." She seemed to have her own idea, tilted her head, stared at the strange 'house', and said, "There are five black spots in total, I suspect that this means the five people who were eaten."

I said, "The people from the archaeological team disappeared like this. Has no one gone to search and rescue them later?" Gu Wenmin shook his head and said, "I have also investigated them, but this matter seems to be so incomplete. Maybe something happened later, but no relevant records were found."

After a pause, she said, "You will definitely go, right?"

She knew me very well, and even if she had only one-tenth of the chance, I had to confirm it, so I nodded.

Gu Wenmin said: "When will we set out?"

I said, "It's me, not us, Wenmin, I know what you mean, but I can't let you take risks anymore?"

Gu Wenmin said: "I'm not just for you. As a policeman, I have the obligation to find out the reason why the archaeological team disappeared back then." I know she was just making excuses, but I know the personality of the beautiful Gu girl. She will not make random decisions, but the decision was not something that a few cows could not bring back. Now, I can only go there again.

When we finished discussing these things, when we went out, Xiao Jing was pestering Tofu and asked questions. Tofu was so entangled by her. When she saw me coming out, she immediately said, "He is your man, please ask him if you have any questions." Now, I don't plan to hide it anymore, but Xiao Jing is an outsider after all, and she has many things. She knows it, but it's not good, so I hid some things and said that I was going to look for my grandfather.
Chapter completed!
