Volume 4, The Demon Crow Demon Palace_Chapter 4, The Legend of Raven Ridge Fort (1)
Raven Ridge Fort is one of the most evil places in the circle today, and it is one of the few places that no one has come close to but has a detailed historical record. Located in the old mountains and forests of today's Guizhou, the whole architectural style is very unique, similar to the ancient castles of Western Europe, very huge, and it is said that the space under the ground is three times larger than that on the ground.
The locals did not dare to approach, and the entire area of Yaling Fort was listed as a forbidden place.
There are generally two records about the origin of Yaling Fort, the first of which originated in the Han Dynasty, when a caravan from present-day Europe along the Silk Road into China arrived in Chinese mainland, asked the landlord at that time to buy the land, and then built the original Yaling Fort. According to some records, Yaling Fort at that time was not the same as it is now, and it was not as big as it is now. Later, the dynasties changed, the Westerners in the castle either died of old age or returned to their own country, and after the Avenile Fort was abandoned, a supernatural family took over, and the supernatural family was symbolized by the black crow, so it was named Avenger Castle. However, there are not many historical records about this origin, and it is very old, so there are not many people who believe it, and it is not regarded as the true origin of Yaling Fort.
The second record is the mainstream opinion in the current circle, and it is also the origin of the evil land of Raven Ridge Fort. It is said that the original construction of the Yaling Fort was a cult, which is generally known as an unrecognized cult. This cult came from the West, entrusting the demons of hell and believing that it could communicate with the demons through human blood in exchange for power. And the leader of this sect likes to raise crows, in the heyday, crows can be seen everywhere in the entire Yaling Fort, and when they fly, they are very scary, so they are named Yaling Fort. It is rumored that at that time, the sect believed that the blood that could communicate with the devil best came from the girl. Therefore, the cult regularly catches untrained girls and locks them up, and when it is time to sacrifice them, select a few and kill them. This kind of thing was not noticeable in the ancient war years, however, the terrible thing is that this cult in Yaling Fort has actually developed for nearly two hundred years, from the beginning of catching girls to later reproducing their own internal offspring, the men born will act as guards and thugs of Yaling Fort, and the girls born will select a group to reproduce with boys, and the other group will be killed and sacrificed.
In the Republican period, after the political situation was relatively stable, the government began to attack bandits and local armed forces, which is the so-called integration and unified management. At that time, a general led his troops to the vicinity of Yaling Fort, and he was shocked when he heard about such a thing, because at that time, the sect had grown to tens of thousands of people, and Yaling Fort had also expanded several times, and the huge castle that could accommodate tens of thousands of people could imagine how exaggerated it was! There are also many branch sects in various places, and the total number of believers in the country is as high as more than 100,000.
This matter was immediately reported by the generals, and the government of the Republic of China was very surprised. If the royal power of a country is challenged by religion, it is terrible, and in view of the stark example of medieval Europe, the authorities immediately ordered the cleansing of the cult in Yaling Fort.
The local sub-sects and the blind masses who had been preached were soon dismissed, but when they arrived at the headquarters of Raven Ridge, things changed dramatically. Considering that there were tens of thousands of people, two divisions were driven over when they were cleared, and they were loaded with live ammunition, and the battle was very large at that time, and many forces thought that there was going to be some huge war.
Originally, on the one hand, there were soldiers with loaded guns, and on the other hand, they were flat-headed civilians who looked unarmed, and they would definitely see the difference immediately after the fight. As a result, the battle report was uploaded, and it was actually fought for three days without attacking. The place of Yaling Fort is very large, and the walls are extremely strong, and I thought that these disciples had no ability, but I didn't expect to find out that these people were like monsters after fighting.
I've seen some records of the battle at Raven Ridge Fort, and one veteran recalls that when they fought in the position for a long time, the other side would throw a lot of burning stones from the castle, and when these stones hit the ground, they would burst into terrible flames. Later, the cultists began to appear, and as soon as they appeared, they took off their clothes, painted strange charms on their upper bodies with a blood-like red liquid, and their eyes and bodies were on fire, and they rushed up with a howl like monsters. There is a strange force on the body, often one hand can throw the soldier away, but also breathe fire, the most terrible thing is that when the bullet penetrates the body, they will explode, a blast is a large piece, many soldiers are killed in an instant. But the order from above was given to death, and they could only send people to attack without stopping. Finally broke into the Raven Ridge Fort, and the real horror had just happened.
The veteran's memories called the interior of the castle very evil, saying that after they entered, it was like entering a labyrinth, and they could not find the right way out, nor could they find the cult leader. And from time to time, it will trigger the mechanism, and it will also be raided by monsters and cultists, and often one will die if you are not careful. When they went in one by one, they were still in full formation, and when they escaped, there were only three or four people left.
After suffering a big loss inside the Yaling Fort, the superiors were very angry and mobilized the artillery bombardment, and an artillery regiment destroyed the entire Yaling Fort after more than an hour of bombardment, killing and wounding more than half of the disciples, and then the infantry charged, and then took the Yaling Fort.
To their shock, many women were eliminated from the Raven Ridge Fort at that time, and these women were basically insane, some of them had gone crazy, and some of them were afraid of seeing the soldiers because they were too frightened.
It took more than a month to complete the solution, but since then, three rumors have circulated, the first of which is that a demon has descended in the entire Raven Ridge Fort, so it has become a terrible evil place. At that time, a general invited a very powerful feng shui master he knew to come and see, and the feng shui master's face changed greatly at that time, and told him that this place should not be said to be a hundred years, even if it is a thousand years, it will not wash away the evil spirit, and it has become a Jedi. The second rumor is about the leader of this cult, and when the battlefield was finally cleaned, no one found any trace of the cult leader, not even the corpse. Therefore, at that time, the military believed that the cult leader had died during the artillery bombardment, and there were no bones left, so they could not identify it. But a sect leader who possessed evil magic and could create monster-like cultists was killed so easily, and no one in the circle believed him, everyone thought that he had escaped a catastrophe and was secretly waiting for an opportunity. The third rumor came out of the barracks, saying that after the Republic of China army captured Yaling Fort, they often saw and heard the figure and screams of the killed female ghost at night, and the people in the army were panicked. Feng Shui masters also say that the souls of women who have been killed here for more than 200 years are difficult to disperse, which is also one of the reasons why this place has become an evil place. Female ghosts are bound by evil spirits, and being a part of evil spirits also strengthens evil spirits, so it is not surprising to see female ghosts.
Since then, Yaling Fort has always been regarded as an ominous evil land, and no sect even dares to take over such a large area.
And the reason why Crow Ridge Fort has been known to people in circles again in modern times comes from a terrible event.
After Hong Kong's return to the motherland in '97, many Hong Kong businessmen aimed at business opportunities in the mainland and ventured into the mainland to invest. One of them is in the tourism industry in Hong Kong, and after entering the mainland, he aimed at the good mountains and rivers of the mainland, especially the dense forests of Guizhou, which is a huge attraction for urban people who live in lattice rooms all day. He considered building a resort in the forests of Guizhou, and a confidant next to him suggested to him that there was an ancient castle in the dense forests of Guizhou, which was very large and mysterious. The castle has been left unattended, and if it is used as a base for the resort, it can save a lot of money, and if you build a road to the town, you will be able to make a lot of money from now on.
The Hong Kong businessman immediately set out to conduct an on-the-spot investigation in the mainland, and the ancient castle he inspected was the Yaling Fort.
The first time he saw Yaling Fort, a Hong Kong businessman, he was very satisfied, it was bigger than he imagined, and more mysterious, and the European-style architecture was very attractive to people in the city. It's a bit of a distance from town, but it's not very far. And what made him most excited was that after inquiring, he learned that Yaling Fort was very cheap at that time. The owners of the land involved are also in a hurry to sell, and the price of the sale is so low that it seems to be a free gift.
But he still had a heart and invited a feng shui master to come and see it......
