Volume 1, Ghost Town of the Bone Forest_Chapter 375, Professor's Notes
This is Professor Xu Tianwang's notebook, which means that he once lived here for a while, but then left everything behind and disappeared. Judging from the living conditions at the scene, he had a very hard time at that time, and he left in a hurry.
Flipping through the notebook, the first record is some of his research on ghost towns.
The first paragraph at the beginning attracted me very much: in the 8th year of the Republic of China, Professor Li Chengtian of Nanjing University came to Shanghai to find me, saying that he had found some news about the secrets of the Liao Dynasty and wanted to share it with me. I was very interested at that time, and I have always been interested in the history of Song and Liao all these years, because the history of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty is vague and there are not many scholars who study it. On the morning of the third day, he arrived at my house, took out a thick stack of materials, and said with a smile on his face that this time he had found evidence about the ghost town of the Liao Dynasty.
This record shows that he didn't know that there was a ghost town in the Liao Dynasty at first, but it is not strange that people in the circle do not know what is in the circle, and in the eyes of outsiders, they may still think that we are just a group of feudal superstitions.
Read on: Professor Li Chengtian has been a pioneer in contemporary research on the history of Song and Liao, but in recent years he seems to have been influenced by some strange theories and has begun to go astray. Many scholars believe that his doctrine can no longer be accepted. I thought the same thing at first, but it wasn't until he showed me that the evidence was that I was sure that the ghost town really existed and that it was hiding a big secret.
This raises my question, what is that thing he wrote in his notebook? Looking through the notes at the back, it seems that there has been a long pause in the middle without recording, which means that it is a mystery for me to be like that.
The following ten or so pages are an analysis of the architectural style of the ghost town, which can basically be determined to be built during the Liaojingzong period, and after more than ten pages, he suddenly wrote: Today, Professor Li Chengtian wrote to say that he had contacted some people for help. They knew where the ghost town ruins were, and invited me to go with them to investigate. I thought it was a rare opportunity to set off from Shanghai overnight, and I met the gentleman who paid the money, wearing a white suit, not tall, but looking very imposing. I introduced myself to him, and he told me with a smile on his face that his surname was Tang.
Seeing this, my head almost exploded with a "buzz", Mr. Tang? Is it the Mr. Tang I know? But this is a note from the Republic of China, many words have been worn out and cannot be seen, if he lives to the present, he will be ninety years old, how is this possible? Could it be the same name and surname? Or maybe Mr. Tang's original elder, this is possible.
When I saw this, there was a sudden noise outside the cave, and I immediately became nervous, closed my notebook and held the torch and carefully walked to the entrance of the cave to look at it.
After thinking about it, I took the demon hunting crossbow and the Tushan knife, and after luck, I climbed up the cave and returned to the entrance of the cave.
The original dark world was now illuminated by a strange green light, and under the embellishment of that green light, there was a layer of misty and flowing light, but this layer of light was enough to illuminate the immortal river below, where did the light come from? I haven't figured it out yet, but the undead river, which had been roaring all the time, is now calming down, and the waves on the surface of the river are weakening, and the pitch-black water surface is like a huge black mirror.
The ghosts around me were crying and wailing wildly, and the crying I heard in the cave was the voice of these ghosts. How did the ghost that had been calm before become like this at this moment?
What are they crying for? Could it be that something has changed?
At a strange moment, the strange green light in the sky suddenly dispersed, like broken glass, and large pieces of green light fell from the sky like broken glass. All the ghosts went crazy, as if they had not drunk water for a long time and met people in the rain, raised their hands, rushed forward, and even began to fight and compete for the green light falling from the sky.
"What's the use of this thing?"
I became more and more strange, but I saw that the green light that fell from the sky fell into the body of one of the ghosts, and the gray body of the ghost gradually lit up, and then flew into the sky, and finally sank into the immortal river.
Just to be able to enter the Immortal River and grab this green light? I'm getting weirder and weirder, and the ghosts that rush into the river of the undead after grabbing the green light are getting more and more.
I frowned, took out the notebook I was already carrying in my arms, and after turning a few pages, there was a record of this phenomenon, but it seemed that Professor Xu Tianwang had written it after he had been separated from the army.
"It was my first night here, and I was glad I found the cave, but in the middle of the night I was woken up by ghosts. I climbed to the mouth of the cave and saw a large green light in the sky, shattering like glass. The light fell into the bodies of those ghosts, and they began to rush into the river of undead before disappearing. As if they were complacent, some were even laughing. I have heard a folk saying that the ghosts who enter the Yellow Spring can never be reincarnated and cannot leave the Yellow Spring. But God has the virtue of a good life, and will give miracles, and those green lights are their salvation, and they can be reincarnated again if they get the green light. I didn't expect to see such a picture, even if I died, I was satisfied. ”
For someone who has never had this experience, seeing fantastic things is always something new. In this regard, I am somewhat similar to Professor Xu Tianwang.
The whole process of sprinkling light continued, and more and more ghosts were redeemed, but I didn't expect that a green light from the sky slowly floated in front of me and landed lightly on the ground in front of me.
This is a great disaster for me!
In the dark, this cave was invisible to the ghosts, and even if it was illuminated, they would not notice anything in the cave if they were busy grabbing the green light.
But if this green light falls at the mouth of the cave, the result is completely different, if they see the green light and find the cave and me in the cave, the consequences I can already imagine.
Vigilantly looked around, fortunately, this green light was very weak, so none of the ghosts around found it, but not finding it at this time does not mean that it will not be found after a while.
I frowned to save myself, and finally wrapped my sleeve around my hand and held down the green light fragment at the mouth of the cave, and then jerked it in.
The frenzy outside continued, and I felt the green fragment in my hand be cold, like pinching a piece of ice that wouldn't melt. I shrank back, and then looked down, the glowing green shards looked like some kind of stone, but I couldn't see why, it must be a treasure, so I wrapped it in cloth and stuffed it into my backpack.
The frenzy outside continued for nearly an hour, until the sky darkened again and the ghosts calmed down.
I was sure that no one noticed the cave, so I retreated to the bottom of the cave, took out the cloth bag in my backpack and opened it, and was stunned for a moment, the green fragments in the cloth bag were actually missing. If you can't find the glowing thing in the whole backpack, will it disappear on its own?
I thought I had picked up a baby, but I didn't expect it to dissipate by itself. I was complaining, but I saw that the Qiankun box that was also placed in the backpack suddenly flashed slightly, this light was fleeting, but it looked a little familiar, took out the Qiankun box and looked at it, there was a groove on the surface of the Qiankun box There was actually embedded in this green fragment, but at this moment the green fragment did not shine, it looked like an ordinary stone originally inlaid on it.
It was absorbed by the Qiankun box again, what is the origin of this Qiankun box? First, he absorbed part of the power of the Woo Bu in Taibai Mountain, and now he can snatch this mysterious green fragment, but he can't open it, the more he thinks about it, the more incredible he feels.
After tinkering for a while, I didn't see the peculiarity of this box, so I could only give up again, leaning against the torch and looking at the leather booklet in my hand, studying the notes left by Professor Xu Tianwang.
"I've been hiding here for three days, and there's only one entrance and exit to the cave. I'm running out of dry food, but I still hope someone can find me. I found something amazing here, and I wanted to take it out and show it to others, and it could be a great discovery that would shock the whole world. About this ghost city, but also about the favorite of Liaojingzong - Qi Chun'an. ”
