When I first came to Liu Wen's house, Liu Wen's father Liu Neng and grandmother Bian Hui were having breakfast, which was simple millet porridge with pickles. The whole house was cold and quiet, and I was speechless about the sadness of this family that had suffered a great change.
I had seen Liu Neng yesterday evening when he was handling the corpse. He also knew me. When he saw me coming, he stood up with some excitement: "Little Master, you are here? Let's have breakfast together!"
I smiled and greeted him, saying that I had already eaten at the village chief's house, and this time I came here to ask Liu Wen's grandmother something.
Liu Neng invited me into the house, and then went back to eat.
As soon as Liu Neng left, Zhou Jing came over to me and said, "Brother Tian, I know why the old lady survived!"
"Oh?"
I was stunned and frowned and asked him, "Did you see anything?"
Zhou Jing nodded and said in a deep voice, "Liu Wen's grandmother's life span is almost over. She is a happy funeral! A happy funeral means that this person will not feel any pain when he dies. He may fall asleep while sitting and taking a nap. This kind of person is actually very rare in today's society, because people are All the evil deeds done in this life will be rewarded one by one from the moment of death. Anyone who dies in great pain either did evil things in this life, or their ancestors did not accumulate virtues, which could not protect their descendants, and even passed the disasters on to their descendants. People who have a happy funeral appearance are either very good in this life, or their ancestors have accumulated virtues, and they are great virtues, which are praised by future generations, so they can leave a good result for their descendants! "
I was shocked: "How long does this old lady have left?"
"No more than a month at most!"
Zhou Jing said in a deep voice: "It is because she is about to die, and the Yang Qi in her body is so weak that it is no different from a big zongzi with a breath in its chest. That is why she was not discovered by those evil things and survived."
"Okay, I know."
After thinking about it, I told Zhou Jing again: "The appearance of joy and mourning only needs to be known by you, me and Brother Zhang. Don't tell the people in the Liu family. They are now experiencing a great change and have lost two relatives. If you tell them again, I am afraid that Liu Neng will collapse, and the appearance of joy and mourning will become an evil mourning. , understand?"
"I know!"
Zhou Jing agreed, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief. This kid is not very careful with his words, and he doesn't understand the ways of the world. He always messes up things inadvertently because of a word. I have to remind him...
At this time, Liu Wen's grandmother Bian Hui came in with the support of Liu Neng. The old lady sat opposite me tremblingly and asked me: "Little Master, what do you want to know?"
So I asked about the situation that night, and Grandma Bian Hui also told me in detail.
That night, Grandma Bian Hui actually went to bed quite early. After all, people are old and they start to feel drowsy at night, which is also a very normal situation. So that night, Bian Hui went to bed very early, and fell asleep at around 8 o'clock as usual. In a daze, she suddenly heard a "bang" sound of kicking the door, and then heard someone chattering outside. After a while, she heard the screams of Liu Wen and her mother who were sleeping in the opposite room and several of Liu Wen's classmates. Bian Hui knew that something might have happened at that time, and she was afraid that a bad guy had broken in, but she was also a little confused - the people in Shigu Village knew each other every day, and everyone was familiar with each other. The folk customs here were simple and there were no bad people at all. She had lived here for decades and had never heard of any family losing things or being harmed. At most, in the summer, the children in the village ran to the fields to steal two cucumbers to eat, which was just nonsense, and no bad things had ever happened!
Although Grandma Bian Hui was confused, she still got up to look. It was dark at that time, and she couldn't see clearly. She saw several people holding guns, who seemed to be soldiers, dragging Liu Wen and her mother and Liu Wen's classmates outside. There were continuous cries and shouts, and then the man Liu Wen rescued shouted "Don't hurt them", rushed up and fought with the soldiers, and then was stabbed to the ground by a soldier's bayonet...
Grandma Bian Hui ran outside at that time, but she was old and her legs were not in good shape, so how could she play any role? When she went out, the soldiers had already left. At this time, the whole Shigu Village was crying and shouting. What was even more strange was that Grandma Bian Hui couldn't find the body of the person stabbed by the soldiers in the yard, and she didn't know where he went.
I sighed in my heart. The man Liu Wen rescued was obviously not a human being. After being stabbed by a bayonet, it was obvious that his soul was directly scattered. How could there be a body?
At this time, Grandma Bian Hui sighed deeply: "It's all Liu Wen's fault that such a big thing happened in the village. She must have gone to Luoma Mountain. If she violated the ancestral precepts, something bad will happen!"
Luoma Mountain? Ancestral precepts?
I was moved, so I asked Grandma Bian Hui if there was any saying about Luoma Mountain?
Grandma Bian Hui looked heavy and told me a story that had been passed down from generation to generation in Shigu Village.
This story probably started in the late Northern Song Dynasty.
In the seventh year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, in 1125 AD, Emperor Taizong of Jin issued an edict to attack Song. The Jin army was divided into two routes. The Western Army was led by Zuo Deputy Marshal Zong Han and attacked Taiyuan from Datong to the south. The Eastern Army was led by Nanjing Road General Wuliebu and Liubu Road General Talan as the main generals, and attacked Yanshan from Pingzhou to the west. The battle of Jin to destroy Song began.
At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty court was dominated by the peace faction, and a small part of it was determined to fight, such as Li Gang, Zhong Shidao and other patriotic veterans. Unfortunately, the peace faction occupied the vast majority, and the war faction was suppressed. Some patriotic generals organized civilian volunteers to spontaneously resist the Jin Dynasty and defend the country in anger, including Zhong Shidao!
Because if the Jin army wanted to attack Bianjing, it must pass through the Tumen Pass in Taihang Mountain. As long as the throat of the Three Jins, Tumen Pass, was strangled, the Jin army would not be able to pass through Tumen Pass and march to the city of Bianjing, and the Northern Song Dynasty would not perish!
But at that time, because the peace faction in the court had the upper hand, Song Huizong had no intention of provoking a war. Tumen Pass, such an important place, was guarded by only a few thousand soldiers. When the Jin army came aggressively, General Zhong Shidao knew that if he did not defend Tumen Pass, the Northern Song Dynasty would perish!
Therefore, the old general rushed to Tumen Pass with only his personal guards. With his popularity, he killed the then Tumen Pass garrison commander in front of the battlefield and took full control of the defense of Tumen Pass.
Needless to say, what happened next, the 100,000-strong Jin army attacked Tumen Pass fiercely. General Zhong Shidao, no matter how experienced he was, was definitely no match for them. He fought with the 100,000 Jin army for seven days, killing thousands of Jin soldiers. In the end, he was defeated and Tumen Pass was broken. General Zhong Shidao led the remnants to retreat into Taihang Mountains, ready to fight the Jin army to the end by taking advantage of the dangers of Taihang Mountains!
Unexpectedly, during the retreat, when they passed a mountain next to Shigu Village, they were blocked by a river. The old general fell off his horse at the shallows and was soon caught up by the Jin army. The remaining 2,000 Song soldiers fought with the Jin army on the river beach and died collectively, without any capture. The old general also committed suicide by the river beach and died heroically for his country. Therefore, the mountain next to Shigu Village where the war broke out was called Luoma Mountain.
After General Zhong Shidao died in the battle, the locals buried him and his tomb was on Luoma Mountain.
But according to Grandma Bian Hui, although the mountain was buried with a great loyal minister, it was very evil. Every cloudy or rainy day, you could hear the deafening shouts and horse hooves coming from the ancient battlefield, sometimes even at night, especially on the night of the full moon, the deafening shouts were particularly clear!
This situation is said to have existed for hundreds of years. The people of Shigu Village have passed down from generation to generation that it is the ghost of General Zhong Shidao who is unwilling to give up and leads the anti-Jin soldiers to linger in the ancient battlefield. Therefore, Luoma Mountain is a place that Shigu Village is afraid of, and they believe that the mountain is full of ghosts and ominous things.
Grandma Bian Hui insisted that Liu Wen was ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth and entered the mountain, so she brought disaster to the village!
I was also stunned after hearing this...
The ancient battlefield still echoes the deafening shouts of thousands of years ago?
This situation has really happened before, and there are basically two types.
First, due to geological structure, the rocks are magnetic, just like tapes that record ancient sounds, which may be released under the influence of lightning or other things. This has been explained in some previous science programs. It is not the soldiers who died in the ancient battlefield who are causing trouble.
Second, needless to say, it must be the ghost soldiers, the same as the ghost soldiers I encountered in the ancient temple of Zhenxie in the Qinling Mountains!
The ghosts of those soldiers who died in the battle lingered after their death, still maintaining the violent fighting spirit they had in their lifetime, thinking that they were still alive and still fighting, so they would linger in the world of the living. Even the serious ghost soldiers in the underworld dare not mess with such ghost soldiers!
However, looking at the current situation, those in Luoma Mountain are probably in danger, and nine out of ten are ghost soldiers. When my father came to Shigu Village, he probably saw the situation in Luoma Mountain, so he was worried about the safety of the village. In the end, he left a call from the Tiandao League to accept the task. He probably didn't solve it at the time, so nothing happened. According to the rules of the Tiandao League, you can't rashly accept tasks before being commissioned by the people, because you are afraid of exposing the organization!
After all, those ghost soldiers are very dangerous. If they walk out of Luoma Mountain for some special reasons one day, the whole Shigu Village will suffer! !
In general, this visit to Liu Wen's house was not without gain. I had a vague feeling that if I wanted to solve the matter of Shigu Village, I would have to go to Luoma Mountain. All the clues pointed to Luoma Mountain!
I thought about it and decided to go into the mountain today!
