★ Record ghost stories
The Yonglong Sacrifice is located more than 20 kilometers south of the city and is very, very difficult to find. If you can find it, you will find that the temple occupies a large area and the scenery is good. Originally there were many villagers living around the temple. I have been there before. The villagers around me are very simple and very hospitable. They treat you to the best food. In the end, not only do they not charge you, but they give you packages of local specialties before you leave. You, you will be embarrassed. The first time I went there I felt very embarrassed, but then I got to know them well and chatted more, and then I realized that there was no need to be polite, because they have always been like this, as if you go to a restaurant just to eat. You have to pay the bill and tip after eating. For them, when guests come, they have to entertain them attentively. In their words, "It's rare to have a visitor come to see Harry. His father comes first and his grandmother comes first. Haha, I haven't entertained him well. I haven't said it before. Haha, there's even less of a visitor to visit me." (That is to say, It is rare for guests to come here to visit their ancestors, so they must be well entertained, otherwise no one will come)
That was all a long, long time ago. If you go back now, it will be hard to find anyone.I’m not very sure about the details, because I haven’t been there for many years, and I may never go there again, but I heard that even the broken walls and bricks of the Yonglong Sacrifice can’t be found.
Few people know what happened there. The police station was also at a loss. Several cases had no clue and had to be left there. But we all heard it from the villagers, so we know it.
First of all, there is an old caretaker in the temple who has lived there for decades. One night, he turned off the lights and went to bed. He heard someone talking outside until midnight, and he didn't sleep well all night. When I looked the next day, I saw that there was a dark pool outside, and there was no way there was anyone there. It turned out that he slept outside, with the lawn outside the window. But it rained heavily in those days and the house leaked, so he moved to the innermost room to sleep. So in the middle of the night, I was confused and thought I was still in the original room, so I didn't pay much attention. The next day I was shocked when I thought about it: A Collection of Embarrassing Pictures (85) that kills people without paying for their lives. I felt a little scared. As soon as daybreak, I went to the neighbor's house to talk. A young man said not to be afraid, he would accompany me in the evening.
At night, the young man slept in the inner room and the old man slept in the outer room. It just so happened that it didn't rain, so the roof didn't leak. In the middle of the night, the old man heard someone walking in and out, opening and closing the door. At first I thought it was that young man, but later I heard that it was in the wrong direction because there was no door in that direction. So the old man was frightened and called the young man desperately, but the young man just didn't come. By the time dawn came, the old man was so frightened that he fell ill, and he died not long after. The young man said that he also heard voices that night, and later heard the old man calling him and he drove out. Originally, the distance between him and the old man's room was only a corridor, and there were no other rooms in between. But that day, he got lost as soon as he left the room. He said that he seemed to have walked through a hall. When he left the hall, there was a cornfield outside. I got lost in the cornfield and found my way back to the temple before dawn. I found that the old man had been paralyzed with fear. But there is no hall in the sacrificial hall. Even the main hall for the ancestors is only slightly larger than the room where they live. In addition, only the Wang and Li families grow corn nearby, but there is no gate at all to the east of the temple, and there is a cliff separated from the temple. It takes half a day to walk from one hilltop to the other through a small path.
Not long after, the second thing happened. Because there was no need to call the police for the first incident, the police ranked this second incident as first.
After the old guard died, everyone found an old woman to worship him. The old woman was bedridden for a long time, and she had a granddaughter to take care of her. The two of them originally lived in another village and depended on each other for life. They had no other relatives, but because the pigs and cows they raised all fell ill and died, and they could not afford the rent, so everyone discussed letting them move to Sili, killing two birds with one stone. Of course no one told them what happened before.
Because there are two rooms, the old lady and her granddaughter sleep separately. The old lady had a copper bell that she plucked from a cow. Whenever something happened, she would ring the bell. One night, she rang the bell again and shouted loudly, "There is a ghost, there is a ghost." Upon hearing this, her granddaughter immediately wanted to rush to her room, but as soon as she left the room, she entered a hall, and then went outside to the cornfield. When she returned to the temple before dawn, the old lady was already scared to death.
Of course, I didn't call the police on this matter. The woman stayed there ever since. It was fine at first, but then she became a little crazy, and told people she met that she always heard people ringing bells and circling around the altar at night. So everyone said that if you are really scared, just stop. Then one day everyone discovered that she was missing, but her things were all there. A few days later, several urchins cried for adults. It turned out that they found her hanging from a tree on the edge of the cliff in the back mountain. The strange thing was that there was no way to get up there, so everyone had to call the police. Because the place was remote, it took dozens of minutes for the police to arrive. But when we arrived, we had to call a firetruck and use a ladder to lower the dead man down. But as soon as the firetruck arrived, another strange thing was discovered. The woman was hanging from a branch that was no thicker than chopsticks. When the wind blew, the branch snapped, and the dead man fell off the cliff.
So they had no choice but to use a rope to let people go down to search. As a result, the rope broke three times at the beginning and all three firefighters fell. They had no choice but to mobilize better personnel and equipment from the city to rescue them. As a result, they only found the bodies of three firefighters, but the woman could not be found.
The police station sent many people to investigate the case, but no one could explain why the woman was hanging on a thin branch and why she could not be found after she fell. Also why the rope broke and three firefighters were lost. The people in the village told them all the strange things that happened, but everyone knew that the police officers and detectives would not easily believe such things, especially when the country people told them, they thought it was nonsense. And because no clues could be found, the case was dropped.
From then on, no one dared to live in the temple. I went there once, but the villagers stopped me and refused to let me in. I would rather believe in this aspect, so I didn't insist on going in and stayed at the home of a man named Li for two days. In the evening, everyone originally went to the lawn in front of the ceremony to enjoy the cool breeze and chat, but now that the lights are on (oil lamps are still used there), everyone closes the door tightly, which is very dull and scary.
A few months after I went there, something happened again. First, a man went to the city during the day. In order to save some accommodation fees, he took a bus back to his hometown overnight. Usually long-distance buses only stop at the highway entrance, and he has to walk three miles to reach the countryside. We have to pass a cemetery on the way, where the old guard and the old lady mentioned earlier are buried. As he passed by, he heard someone digging in the ground. He was puzzled, and when he looked closer, he saw that there seemed to be a figure bending over to dig a grave. For the people in the village, digging graves is a bad thing, and even if you beat him to death, he will be punished, so he shouted: "Why don't you dig up the grave of the ancestor of Ha village before you die? I'll beat you to death!" and rushed forward. . As a result, the man ran away, so he chased him all the way to the village. As soon as he arrived in the village, he yelled and told what he had just seen. He also shouted: "Let's fight the thief, let's catch the thief!"
So everyone in the village was woken up, and they all rushed out with the guy in hand. They saw him chasing after the priest, shouting: "The thief is running away to the back mountain, so surround him and beat him!" Everyone was wondering. , thinking that the mountain behind was a cliff, and the thief could not escape there, so he only heard the man who caught the thief scream and fell down. Everyone was so frightened that they went to a nearby town to call the police all night. Since something happened last time, and now it’s midnight again, no one dares to go. They waited until daybreak before dispatching firefighters from the city to the bottom of the cliff to rescue people. Of course, the "gain" was not small, and a total of three dead people were found. The man who caught the thief last night had fallen so hard that he was almost unrecognizable, and the woman who hanged herself before was also instantly visible. The other one was originally thought to be the gravedigger, but at first glance, it turned out to be the old guard of the original sacrificial temple!
Everyone bravely went to the cemetery on the mountainside to take a look, and found that the old guard's tomb was perfectly intact. In fact, the old guard's tomb was far away from the roadside. Even if someone burned something in front of the grave at night, people on the mountain road might not see it, so everyone decided that the grave they dug last night was not the old guard's. We all checked around with our companions, but we didn't find any dug earth at all. Later, the police officers dug up the old guard's grave and found that there was only an empty body inside, which was still well nailed and there was no trace of being opened at all.
At this time, the people at the police station began to believe what the locals said. This "walking corpse" case is understood by the fact that the man who caught the thief "stumbled and fell off a cliff".
People who know about this generally believe that the villagers moved away after the walking corpse case. actually not. Unlike people in the city, people in the countryside can wander around with just a roll of blankets. People and land in the countryside are life, so they will never be moved easily.
Of course, they are all scared and are on tenterhooks every day, lest they encounter anything unexpectedly. Later, someone came up with the idea that there was a warlock on the other side of the city, so everyone pooled their money to hire that man to exorcise the evil spirits.
The warlock was pretty good, he said there was no need to go, because he said his abilities were limited, and it would be worse if he couldn't handle it in person. But he said that he had learned a few talismans from his master, and although they could not ward off evil spirits, they were still very effective in warding off evil spirits. So I wrote dozens of talismans on the spot, and noted that some should be carried with me, some for children, and some to be posted at home. As a result, no money was collected.
When we returned to the village, we distributed the talismans and posted them on them. The results turned out to be really effective and everything was fine. So after a while, everyone gradually forgot about it. Although no one dared to go to the sacrificial hall, there was no need to enter the house as soon as the lights were turned on like before.
But within a few years, the warlock ascended to heaven, and the talismans that they regarded as their lifeblood no longer worked. At that time, they didn't know that the sorcerer had gone back. They only knew that one night, the family closest to the priest was entertaining guests. After dinner, they were tasting freshly picked peaches in the courtyard, and suddenly they saw a light in the temple.
Even though he was startled, everyone still didn't take it seriously, thinking that some young lady would be a good man to be sacrificed at night. But thinking about it again, it’s not right! The doors and windows of the temple were nailed shut with iron bars, making it impossible for anyone to climb in. At that moment, everyone went back to the house without saying a word.
In the morning, they called a few people to look around the temple and found that the doors and windows were all nailed properly.
The next night, the east wind blew. His wife was washing dishes in the yard when a gust of wind blew by and she heard the sound of bells in the wind. At first I thought it was from a cow, but then I thought about it. Because of what happened in the past, the cows nearby no longer have bells hanging on them to avoid scaring people. Besides, although there are lawns around the temple, no one ever grazes cattle there. She couldn't help but shudder, and when she accidentally looked, there was another light in the temple!
She was so frightened that she broke all the bowls and went back inside to tell her man. The man was drinking with a few people, and relying on the alcohol, he said he wanted to go in and see who it was. She said she didn't want her man to go, but his man said he had to go, and there were many people and there were talismans on him, so there was no need to be afraid.
So they lit torches and went in. They saw light inside before going in, but when they went in, there was no light.
The woman waited outside with her fists clenched for a long time but no one came out. She couldn't wait any longer, so she went to the village to call for someone. At first no one dared to help, but then she called more people, and the wives of those who went in together became anxious, so everyone lit torches and waited outside the ceremony, but no one dared to go in. It was dark inside the temple. Logically, one should see the light of those people's fire, but there was no light at all.
Everyone shouted loudly outside, but no one answered inside. After about a cup of tea, I suddenly saw a faint light in the inner window, floating slowly, and then heard the ringing of copper bells, and heard a woman shouting: "Grandma, hello!"
No one dared to wait any longer, so they wanted to leave. Suddenly they saw fire on the top of the mountain across the cliff. Because of the east wind, even their words were clearly heard, and they were actually those who had just entered.
So everyone had the courage to call them, and they heard them and shouted back. After a while, it was almost dawn, and they finally walked back from the mountain path with sad faces. Everyone found that one person was missing. Asked what happened.
The woman's man said that they had just entered and heard a sound inside, so they rushed in and took a look, but found nothing. When they came out again, they found themselves in a hall. I lost my way while walking. Later I found the door and went out to see a corn field. Later, I discovered that one person was missing. I couldn't find it anywhere. Finally, I heard the villagers shouting, and I saw that I was on the top of the mountain on the other side of the cliff.
They didn't dare call the police at first and planned to go in and look for someone in the day. The result is nothing. Later, a man thought of the warlock and wanted to go to him first, only to find that the warlock was dead.
The more everyone thought about it, the more scared they became, so they had no choice but to call the police, but nothing was found. I also went under the cliff and found nothing. But everyone still couldn't bear to leave that place, so they suggested that everything might be related to the sacrifice, saying that as long as the sacrifice was dismantled, everything would be fine. But no one dared to touch a piece of the sacrificial tile. I had no choice but to pay for a small Baocheng team to do it.
When the engineering team demolished the altar, they found a dead body inside the wall, which was highly decomposed. The police thought it was the man who had been buried in the wall a long time ago, but the coroner finally discovered that it was the man who disappeared that night. As for how it was buried in the wall, no one wants to know.
Once the sacrifice was demolished, everyone thought everything was fine. Unexpectedly, almost every night someone would light a lamp and go to a certain house to knock on the window. When I opened the window, I saw nothing. Within two months, five women and two men in the village were all crazy.
In the end, it didn't work out, so everyone had to move together. Since moving is not something you can do all at once, the scariest thing is the days when most people in the village have left and only a few families are left, there are people knocking on doors, knocking on windows and jumping off the roof every night. Those families were so frightened that they had no choice but to ask the police for protection. So in the end, the police station sent a dozen people to camp to protect them. By the time everyone had evacuated, the dozen or so police officers were almost going crazy with fear.
Since then, it has been in ruins. I've never been there again. A few years ago I heard that an archaeologist discovered an ancient tomb there. But then there was no news.
No matter what, I still miss those hospitable villagers and the peaches they grow are the biggest and sweetest.
