The ancient pagoda built in the Ming Dynasty is still a solid pagoda, so there must be another mystery in it. Coupled with the unclear legend mentioned by Wang Jin, I am even more certain that there is something wrong with the solid pagoda.
After a while, Wang Jin asked me why they suddenly asked about their legends. I said it was okay and just asked casually, and then I asked Wang Jin again: "Have you ever died in your reservoir? The same child in the dream, before your brother had an accident."
As soon as I asked Wang Jin, I fell into thinking, and it took about half a minute before she said, "There seems to be one, three years before my brother's accident, from our neighboring village. I heard that it was a child alone. I went to collect fishing nets, and then I was torn off by the fishing nets and drowned. In the end, a big hole was broken in the fishing nets, and the body was dragged away by some unknown cause. I heard that I couldn’t find them after searching for a few days, just like my brother…”
I interrupted Wang Jin and said, "That's right, if there is no accident, you dreamed in your dream that the little boy who took your brother's hand and came to you for shoes is the one, and your brother's death may also be about him."
Wang Jin looked a little angry and said, "Master Shi, are you saying that my brother was killed by that kid? You have to decide for my brother."
I also comforted Wang Jin: "Don't get too excited, I'm just guessing, I have to wait for me to check if it's true, so, today is a bit rushed, we will rest, and you will take us back tomorrow. Go to your hometown and see that solid tower."
Wang Jin just said "Okay", but she looked worried and didn't know what she was thinking.
After we got rid of the dead fish, we all felt a little heavy. On the second day, we ate early, and then went to her hometown in Wang Jin's seat. This time she took us directly to the reservoir. Then she parked the car on the side of the road and led us down a short mountain road, and we found the solid tower she mentioned in a wheat field.
After arriving here, Wang Jin told me: "I heard from my grandfather that this place was not land before, but after liberation, cadres brought peasants with clay from other places and built this place into land. Before, this place was also uneven. This tower is built on a ridge, and in order to make land, part of the tower is buried in the ground, now it seems to be only four or five meters, but it is actually eight or nine meters high.”
After listening to Wang Jin's details, I also said: "It seems that you know very well about this tower."
Wang Jin said: "When I was young, my brother and I were very obsessed with this tower. I always felt that there was a treasure under this tower, so I will remember everything the old people in the village said about this tower."
When Wang Jin was talking to me, I had already circled the pagoda a few times. There was a slate at the half waist of the pagoda. It was engraved with dense characters. The list of Qian Jianta is equivalent to a monument of merit and the like.
As for the function of this solid tower, there is no mention of it on the inscription.
After hundreds of years, a crack has appeared on the top floor of the tower. I looked at it, and the crack seemed to have been sawed by something, and the crack was neat.
At this time, You Xiaoqing also said: "Why is the top of this tower broken? It seems that a part of it was sawed off."
Wang Jin explained: "That, it was indeed sawed off. According to the older generation, the top floor of this tower is empty, and the treasures that hold the evil spirits are contained in it, but our ancestors have been there for generations. Here, no one went to open the top of the tower to seek evidence. When my grandfather was young, a few foreigners came to our village, and then climbed up to the top of the tower at night and sawed the top layer. I heard that And a lot of gold was taken from it."
If it is to suppress evil spirits, then there will never be gold on the top of the tower. Most of the legends are that later generations saw that the top of the tower was stolen, and they imagined it. As for what is inside, only the thieves who found it would know. , but it seems unrealistic to ask those thieves in the past.
Seeing that I was fascinated, Wang Jin interrupted me softly and asked, "Master Shi, do you think there is really something under the tower?"
I shook my head and said, "It's hard to say, the tower itself didn't leave us any clues, plus it was reclaimed and stolen, the function of this tower has been completely destroyed, even if there is anything Something, I'm afraid it ran out early."
Hearing what I said, Wang Jin just said "ah", as if she remembered something, I asked her what was wrong, and she said, "Master Shi, my grandfather said that the solid tower in our village was stolen that night. , It was a sunny day, but suddenly the thunder began to flash, and there was a heavy downpour, do you think it was caused by something running out of the tower."
Wang Jin's guess was probably correct, so I nodded.
I circled around the solid tower again, and there was no sign of aura gathering, which means that his evil-suppressing function has long since disappeared, or that it has no evil-suppressing function at all.
I couldn't see the reason after looking at it like this, so I asked Wang Jin again, after this was stolen, did anything strange happen to you, such as dead animals or people.
Wang Jin thought for a while and then said, "There are some things, but I also heard from the old people. I don't know if it is true."
I said whether it was true or not, tell me first, so Wang Jin told me such a story.
When the top floor of the solid tower in Wangjin Village was stolen, the reservoir here has not been officially built, but there is still a small lake with a radius of several kilometers near their village, especially because the solid tower was stolen that night. The heavy rain caused the area of this small lake to expand two or three times at once, and many farmlands were submerged. Even the bottom of the solid tower was flooded by two or three meters.
During this period of time, people in the village discovered that there were suddenly a lot of fish in this lake, and they were not small, so many people punted boats to the lake to fish, but because of the fishing My son, seven people in their village disappeared on the lake, some old people, some young people, and some children, and the scene of the disappearance is also very strange. It is said that there was a strange wind on the lake, and then the people who were rowing and fishing disappeared. , leaving only the empty ship.
Of course, there are also many people who say that those people accidentally fell into the lake and drowned.
Later, the water in the lake receded, and there were fewer fish. In addition, there were always people in trouble, so they didn't go to the lake to fish much, and nothing happened after that.
But people next to the water know that every few years someone drowns unluckily, and that's not uncommon, so people who drown later are not included in the oddity. in the category.
Later, in the 1960s, they began to build a reservoir on the basis of this lake and several nearby rivers, and the original lake was merged into this reservoir.
There are fish and drowned people in this story, which fits the characteristics of the evil spirit I'm looking for, so I guess I may be looking in the right direction.
I continued to ask Wang Jin, "Are those who drowned in the first generation of Gaoya?"
Wang Jin shook his head and said, "I heard this too, and I can't tell exactly what it is."
I asked Wang Jin again, "Has that solid tower ever been flooded other than once during a heavy rain that year?"
Wang Jin thought for a while and said, "Yes, it was a heavy rainstorm in 1998, and the top of the high cliff was flooded, and the tower was also submerged by two or three meters, probably."
Listening to Wang Jin's words, I suddenly understood a problem, whether it is the original lake or the current reservoir, as long as they are full of water, their level is the same, that is to say, after the heavy rain when the solid tower was stolen, The flood submerged the solid tower, and also submerged the head of the high cliff, which should be the same as the flood in 1998.
Since this is the case, then I make a bold guess, that is: those people who disappeared out of thin air in those days, will they disappear when they rowed their boats near the head of this high cliff, in other words, this high cliff There is a mystery under the head.
Of course, if my guess is wrong, then the death of those people in the reservoir is a random event, then I have to search and hide the entire reservoir, so my workload is simply enormous, at this time I finally know why Master Liu has been going out for a year or two at every turn, probably because I encountered a situation similar to mine.
At this time, I asked Wang Jin again: "Is the little boy who died from collecting fishing nets also near Gaoyatou?"
Wang Jin thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be near Gaoyatou, but I have seen it with my own eyes and heard about it."
After receiving the affirmative answer from Wang Jin, I felt that most of my guesses were correct. There must be another mystery under this high cliff, but it is winter now and the ice is so thick, it must be very unrealistic for me to go down to investigate.
So I thought about it and said to Wang Jin: "Let's save the capital first, I'll prepare some things, and a week later I'll do a ritual here at Gaoyatou, and see if I can call the master out to talk to him. "
Wang Jin also expressed that he would obey my arrangement.
As for why I choose a week later, it is because I am going to go back and ask Master Liu for advice first, and I hope to send a helper, or Master Liu will come over by himself, because I feel that there is something under the head of the high cliff, and I am definitely not his opponent. .
Just imagine that the little devil of the red calendar can roar through my Soul Binding Talisman with a single voice. If there is something behind it, it must be even more powerful.
After returning to the provincial capital, I immediately called Master Liu, and after listening to my report, Master Liu pondered for a long time before saying: "Xiaoyong, you did a good job this time, and you didn't act recklessly. Lao Dao and Zhou Tong are in the provincial capital now, you can contact them, I have some things that I can't get through for the time being, if Ge Lao Dao and Zhou Tong can't solve it, you can find me again."
Master Ge is in the provincial capital!
