On the third day of the ceremony, there was a knock on the door early in the morning, and I opened my eyes and turned my head to look at the door. Mr. Tang stood outside the door, only a few centimeters away from me.

"Xiaoshan, you are a child with potential, I don't want you to die like this. I can save you, but you have to promise that you will never disobey my orders again, can you do it? ”

sent away the young head of the Haotian family, and Mr. Tang came again. I didn't know when I became so popular, so I smiled and shook my head, "I only live according to my own will." ”

"If you're so willful, you'll die."

Mr. Tang said in a low warning voice.

"I will die according to my own will."

"If that's the case, that's the way it can be. This afternoon they will take you to the entrance of the ghost town ruins, and here are some materials for you to take a look at during this time. If we make it out alive, we can still cooperate. ”

He dropped a stack of papers and turned to leave.

I walked over and picked up the documents on the ground, there was not much information, Mr. Tang's move made me a little unincomprehensible, obviously I entered the ghost city ruins is a dead end, but why did he still help me? It's like giving a job to a person who is going to die the next day, is it a conscience discovery? But Mr. Tang doesn't look like that.

The data is opened, from the point of view of time, the recorded information is from the end of the Republic of China, that is, the beginning of the Liberation War to the present, there are photos of the ruins, as well as the planning of the route, of course, the most is the speculation and analysis of the origin of this ghost city of Sanjiang.

Modern research on this ghost city speculates that this ghost city may have been left in the heyday of the Khitan, almost in the Liaojingzong period, it is said that the frontier wars were continuous, when a Khitan army invaded the Central Plains and built a city underground, which is now the ghost city of Sanjiang. This inference is based on the analysis of some of the earliest architectural styles found in ghost towns, as well as the appearance of murals and carvings.

However, why this huge underground city is called a ghost city, there are many theories, the earliest theory is that during the Republic of China, a geology professor named Xu Tianwang led several students to enter the Sanjiang ghost city under the leadership of the organizers at that time, but after entering the ghost city, they found that this did not match the legend of the empty city. On the contrary, there are tens of thousands of inhabitants in this city. Everyone who went underground at that time was dumbfounded. But when he sat in this city, everyone disappeared in front of him, like ghosts. Hence the name "Ghost Town". Of course, this is just a more deceptive statement. The analysis in the circle is relatively more reliable.

During the period of Liaojingzong, there was a person named Qi Chun'an among the staff, who was the sole disciple of a Taoist sect in the Central Plains, but he cultivated the evil law, and was a good utilitarian and greedy for wealth. At that time, he suggested by Liaojingzong's side that if he could build an underground city at the place where the three rivers converged, and let him cast spells here, he could block the dragon veins of the underground Sanjiang and let the Great Song Dynasty decay, Liaojingzong did not agree at first, but with more and more exchanges with Qi Chun'an, the stronger the skills shown by this Taoist master, and over time, his trust in Qi Chun'an became deeper and deeper, so he finally agreed to Qi Chun'an's suggestion. Qi Chun'an led the people to set off immediately, used the secret method to infiltrate the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and established an underground city at the place where the three rivers converged. Then the altar was set up, using ghost arts, so it was called a ghost town.

But this statement is also inappropriate, first of all, the Great Song Dynasty was the time when there were many masters of Taoism in China, and during the Tang and Song dynasties, there were many immortal-level heavenly masters in China who were wandering around, how could they let a Qi Chun'an Hu get angry? Moreover, what he wants to break is the dragon vein of the Great Song Dynasty, but although this place is where the dragon vein flows, it is not a big tributary, so even if it is broken, it doesn't matter much. Moreover, the text did not write about the whereabouts of Qi Chun'an at the beginning, judging from the situation, Qi Chun'an must have failed. But what about others after failure? And what about those Khitan soldiers? Where have they gone? Did you die underground? After all, only a third of the ghost town ruins have been explored, and more and more places are still empty.

The background of the ghost town is so mysterious, not to mention, the photos taken from the early days seem to be very strange, first of all, the early photos look relatively blurry, which is very strange, it stands to reason that this kind of photo should be taken very clearly to have research value, and it is vague to see what is the meaning of retaining? Moreover, almost all the photos are paste, and it is easy to say that it is rare to have one that is paste, but it is a little strange that all of them are paste.

This situation is generally only caused by the special nature of this place, and the special I am talking about may be blessed by the enchantment formation, or the dojo of the gods and bodhisattvas, or it may be caused by ghosts.

And for the ghost town, obviously the first and third possibilities are more likely.

Finally, the route, through more modern technology, can basically draw the outer outline of the entire site, compared with the route that has been explored, the so-called one-third seems to me to be a bit exaggerated, it looks like a quarter at all, and the area explored before is basically on the periphery.

And in the viewing materials, I found a little strange place, that is, the professor named Xu Tianwang in the Republic of China, why was he an ordinary person pulled into this kind of place to study? Was it because the organizers at the time couldn't find anyone? Moreover, it is said that he was bewitched by some kind of trick, broke away from the team, entered an unknown area that had not been explored at the time, and disappeared for a while. Later, when he was in New China, he miraculously returned, but he had forgotten what he had seen and heard in the ruins, and his IQ had regressed to the level of a child.

Did he do something inside? Did you meet a monster or see it?

There are too many puzzles, after all, it is a place that has not been fully developed at all, and the ghost town ruins are different from ordinary tombs, the place is too large, if you really want to excavate, I am afraid that you need to use a huge amount of labor and vehicles, and the result of the huge project is that the organizers will spend a lot of money. But how could a businessman like Mr. Tang spend so much money on this? Just imagine, if you finally open all the places in the ghost town, spend millions or even tens of millions, but cheapen other people who are eyeing you, it is not as simple as the fruit of victory being stolen. Even if you keep the fruits of victory, but in the end, you can't make ends meet, won't you lose all your money?

Therefore, they will have their own ghosts, and no one is willing to develop this ghost town ruins in earnest.

Time passed quickly when I read the information, and after noon, someone outside opened the door, and the two big men shouted: "Come out, it's time." ”

I put away the materials and walked out of the room, but I saw Monk Xuanku standing outside with a few people, as if waiting for me.

"Amitabha, the benefactor of Ba Xiaoshan, Lao Gu has repeatedly persuaded other organizers to open up, but they insist that you enter the ruins, and please take care."

I smiled and said, "Don't worry, master, I won't die so easily." ”

"This is your self-defense weapon and personal supplies, as well as the dry food and water I have prepared for a week, according to the route we have discussed, you follow the previous route all the way to the south, someone will show you the way, and you will be the only one to enter when you reach the unknown area. Hope you come back safely. ”

After the monk Xuanku finished speaking, he saluted me, and I arched my hand and said, "Please lead the way." ”

After leaving the ground, the wound on my shoulder has not yet healed, and the strenuous activity will produce relatively large pain, after walking out of the ground, the people outside can't help but boo when they see me, I have long been used to it, and followed a few people through the center to the back half of the venue, and raised my eyes to see the huge stone gate guarded by more than ten people.

"This is the entrance to the ghost town ruins, we haven't found the main gate yet, this is the first side gate to be discovered."

Master Xuanku said in a low voice.

I nodded, and looked back, Mr. Tang and the young head of the Haotian family were looking at me not far behind me, of course, there were other organizers, the sun after the rain was just right, I smiled and said to myself: "There are many people in the world who are ignorant of themselves, thinking that wearing brocade clothes and eating jade food are people, but they don't know that they are just a group of monkeys." ”
