Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 50

According to the data and related records, this Shang Jilong was just a bandit leader. Even including the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, there were only about a thousand people under his command. God.

Originally, he was entrenched in the Taihang Mountain area, and when he was a carefree and unrestrained king of the mountain, he went down the mountain to plunder in his spare time, tied a few meat tickets to extort ransom, and did some business such as killing people, stealing goods, and eating black goods, which was nothing special.

In that era, such mountain kings were everywhere in this land.The ending of their lives is nothing more than perishing in black eating black, or when the overall situation is settled, they are wiped out one by one by armed forces from higher levels, and then leave a name in a certain local chronicle and be recorded Last stroke: In a certain month of a certain year, the bandit XX was wiped out and so on.

But this Shang Jilong had another unusual life experience.

According to the data, one day, a Taoist priest went up the mountain and entered Shang Jilong's cottage.

As for whether the Taoist came to the door on his own initiative, or was robbed up the mountain, it is impossible to verify.But comprehensive judgment, it should be more likely to be robbed up the mountain.

After that, Shang Jilong's bandit career ushered in another peak.

Because under the guidance of the Taoist priest, Shang Jilong actually found a gold mine not far from the cottage - the gold mine reserves are not high, and the quality is also ordinary, but at least it is a gold mine, it is gold.

As a result, Shang Jilong made a fortune and began to recruit soldiers. The team under his command expanded for a while, and successfully completed the transformation from bandit to warlord.His residence was also transferred from the cottage to the county seat, and he also got the appointment document from the government at that time, and he became a prince of one party in all seriousness.

For the next few years, Shang Jilong remained at ease until another major crisis occurred in his life.

It was another warlord who was several times stronger than him—he had tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, and the team also possessed some advanced heavy weapons at that time, so he took a fancy to his territory.

Judging by common sense, Shang Jilong, as the weaker side, would either give up the territory and return to the mountains to become a bandit himself, or the two sides would fight a battle, but most of them would end in defeat.

At this time, Shang Jilong, who had always been mediocre and incompetent and had never shown any military talent, unexpectedly showed amazing ability.

On a rainy night, Shang Jilong personally led all the elites under his command—approximately 1000 people—to take advantage of the rainy night to raid the headquarters of the enemy warlord, and wiped out the warlord leader and upper-level leaders in one fell swoop, so the opponent's team dispersed , not only did not have much loss, but also received a large amount of the other party's supplies, equipment, personnel, etc., completed a shocking reversal, and expanded its strength again.

The difficulty in doing this is that Shang Jilong must have a good grasp of the mobilization of the enemy's warlord's forces, as well as almost all information such as the location of the headquarters and the deployment of defenses, and must pay attention to timeliness. "Speed" is the only way to accomplish this.

However, the enemy warlord's formation, arrangement of affairs, etc. are known as "random" and have almost no fixed rules. Even if Shang Jilong's spies in the opponent's team can get the information, it is impossible to have enough Time sent it to Shang Jilong.

How Shang Jilong completely grasped the opponent's movements, accurately found the vital points and weak points, and finally made a fatal blow, this matter is not conclusive.The few local history experts who have studied the character of Shang Jilong are more inclined to think that this is an adventure, a desperate counterattack in order to survive. results.

But there are also unofficial historical records, which say that the mysterious Taoist priest next to Shang Jilong watched the sky at night and used various mysterious and mysterious methods to calculate it.

But in short, Shang Jilong survived this catastrophe in life, and ate the wealth left by the other party, and his power expanded again. His soldiers who could fight under his command reached tens of thousands, and he became a prestigious and dominant presence in the Taihang Mountains.

After that, Shang Jilong lived a few years of carefree life, but with the changes in the overall situation, he finally ushered in his demise.

A powerful warlord with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, just because Shang Jilong's existence threatened a certain traffic artery, he sent troops to wipe out his power like a fly.

This time, the mysterious Taoist did not show up.

Shang Jilong did not die in this battle, but all the forces under his command were gone.Afterwards, Shang Jilong took his remnant soldiers away from home and withdrew from the political arena.And then there is no record, because no one is interested in him anymore.

This is the information about Shang Jilong found at this stage.More in-depth information is being searched further.But these alone were enough for Zhang Dingshan and He Wei to notice some abnormalities.

First of all, it was the mysterious Taoist who appeared next to Shang Jilong.

Is this Taoist priest the same Tang Yuan Taoist priest from a certain cloud temple as noted on the Taoist disk?
In Shang Jilong's two major life encounters, this Taoist priest was deeply involved in both.What kind of role did he play in this process?
Are these encounters... related to the mountain god?

Why did he die in this cave in the end, with countless bones?
"Look for more information and look up the name of the mysterious Taoist priest."

Zhang Dingshan made arrangements.About half an hour later, the relevant information was sent again.

"One document records that this Taoist priest's surname is Tang. Another document shows that Shang Jilong once affectionately called this Taoist priest 'Yuan Hai' when he was entertaining a rich family. Together, it is 'Tang Yuanhai'."

The name on that Dao disk only had the word "Tang Yuan", and the third word could not be recovered.As for the name Tang Yuanhai, the first two characters are "Tang Yuan".

Zhang Dingshan has enough reasons to believe that the two are the same person.

However, Tang Yuanhai and Shang Jilong both appeared in this mountain god worship place.Combined with historical records, Shang Jilong's two major life encounters-the first is the discovery of gold mines, the second is the defeat of the enemy warlord, and the collection of the enemy's team and luggage. This Tang Yuanhai has played an extremely important role. effect.

Also, Tang Yuanhai has the same surname as the Tang family that has been destroyed and is almost definitely the inheritor of the "Mountain God Sacrifice", and they are not far apart in age. A speculation naturally appeared between Zhang Dingshan and He Wei in the mind.

"Perhaps, when the Tang family was destroyed back then, there are still some descendants who have inherited the secret and survived. This Tang Yuanhai is one of them.

As time went by, he kept this secret until he came to Shang Jilong's side.

After that, maybe because he wanted to show his importance in front of Shang Jilong, gain attention and trust, so as to restore the glory of the family, or maybe because he wanted to save his life, most likely it was a combination of both. Following the power of the dragon, the sacrifice was found, and after many years of interruption, the sacrifice to the mountain god began again.

Among these sacrifices, at least two sacrifices were successful.The first time was to find a gold mine, and the second time was to exchange for some important tools, such as drones with night vision function, which helped Shang Jilong obtain the most critical information in almost real time, and This defeated a strong enemy.

After that, their relationship broke down.Because it was almost certain that Tang Yuanhai was beaten to death by Shang Jilong.

The reason for the breakdown of the relationship may be that Shang Jilong wanted to monopolize this secret, or it may be that some of Tang Yuanhai's appeals offended Shang Jilong. In short, he was beaten to death, and Shang Jilong followed the poor boy, Tang After the family, it became the third generation inheritor of the "Mountain God Sacrifice".

But now it seems that 'mountain god sacrifice' is not a panacea.It failed to assist Shang Jilong to continue to grow his power.Shang Jilong's armed forces were finally ruthlessly crushed in the tide of changing times, and he himself withdrew from the stage of history and politics without a trace. "

There is still not much evidence to directly prove it, but both Zhang Dingshan and He Weiju believe that this speculation is very likely to be true.At least, in the general direction, it is close to the data records and the trend of the situation.

"These white bones..."

He Wei still has some doubts about how many people died here.

"Judging from being tied up, it doesn't look like a fire tie."

Zhang Dingshan said calmly: "It is more likely that it is the 'sacrifice' candidate that Shang Jilong and Tang Yuanhai found."

At that time there was no genetic testing technology.Shang Jilong and Tang Yuanhai still had to choose the sacrifices aimlessly based on conditions such as thick hair or not, what their surname was, and where their hometown was, and then tried one by one to finally find a suitable sacrifice.

"In those days, human life was worthless."

There was some emotion in Zhang Dingshan's voice: "Perhaps after being kidnapped, they were thrown on the altar, but the mountain god refused to accept them, and they lost any value. At the same time, in order to keep the secret, they simply killed them."

A chill slowly appeared in He Wei's heart.

She seemed to have really seen that era, and saw the sacrifices held in this cave at that time.

Marshal Shang Jilong's soldiers arrested people everywhere, and many people who met the screening conditions were brought here, then tied up, and brought here one by one to put on the altar.

Marshal Shang Jilong watched coldly, while Taoist Tang Yuanhai kept repeating the sacrificial words. The mountain god didn't respond, so he killed the person and replaced him. If the next one didn't respond, he killed the person and replaced him. He kept trying, trying, and finding As long as there is a response, the sacrifice will be completed once.

These blood, cruelty and crimes were slowly buried with the passage of time.If it was not our side who came here at this moment, I am afraid that the things in this cave will not be able to be excavated until the things in this cave are completely decayed and all traces are completely lost.

The communication device rang again.

He Wei glanced at it and immediately lifted her spirits.

"Captain, there is a major discovery! Shang Jilong's whereabouts after he left the field have been found!"
