[Bottle Evil Colleague] Ink Dawn

This mythical story happened in ancient Kaifeng.

Kaifeng at that time was also known as "Daliang".After King Hui of Wei moved his capital, he brought water from the Yellow River into Putian and put water from Putian into Huaihe River to develop water conservancy.Agriculture and commerce also prospered, became more and more prosperous, and the national strength gradually became stronger, dominating the other countries, making Daliang City the most developed city in China at that time along with Xianyang in Qin State and Yingdu in Chu State.

The local people believed in all kinds of gods and lived a life of freedom of belief. Although there were wars and turmoil during the period, perhaps because of the beautiful Fengshui, there have been no ghosts and gods.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Around the middle and late Warring States period, a strange thing happened in the local area.

The incident began in a farm house on the outskirts of the city.

On an ordinary evening, a woman took her five-year-old son to fetch water from the shallow well in the backyard, while her husband was cooking tea in the back room.But he waited left and right, but his wife and children did not come back. Seeing that it was getting late, he got up and went to the backyard to search, but unexpectedly, the scene waiting for him was very strange: under the gray twilight, he saw a man standing by the well from afar. A naked pregnant woman with very white skin, so white that it seemed to be transparent, her long thick black hair hung down, almost covering her entire body.

She lowered her head and turned her back to the half-set sunset. The shadow cast on her face made it hard for the man to see clearly, but the man had a vague feeling that something was wrong with her face—it was too flat, as if she had no facial features. There are two deep depressions in the eye sockets of ordinary people, which are black and do not reflect any light.

Even though there were still faint human voices coming from the street in front of the house, the backyard at this moment seemed like another space in the eyes of the man, absolutely silent.

Sensing his approach, the woman raised her head slowly - he and the woman met directly, their eyes met.In an instant, the man felt a chill penetrate his whole body, and he couldn't move at all—it was a mental disorder caused by extreme panic.

The head of the naked woman suddenly moved, and then, the man was stunned to see her tilt her head—the degree of tilting her head is definitely not what humans can do—her head was bent to one side. The blunt angle was almost over Baidu, and the shoulders shrugged, as if smiling slightly.Then she suddenly fell back, her stiff body hit the edge of the well, and she rolled over. ——The well overflowed, and the woman never came up again, just disappeared like that.

The man was frightened too much, and suffered from the problem of losing his mind. He was in a state of confusion all day long. One day he went to the field and never came back.

When the rent was paid that month, the government couldn't find out the account of his family, so they sent people to investigate, but the family of three disappeared without a trace, and no one saw them again after that, so this matter can only be left as it is.

Unexpectedly, once such a strange thing happened, there would be no peace for Daliang.

In the beginning, strange things happened frequently in the outskirts of the city. There were not only weird naked women, but also gibbons with festering skin, and intangible ghost-like shadows. In the shadow of the corner of the room, suddenly flashed, hard to guard against.

The people disappeared one by one, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

The most serious situation was in the northeast of the city. The government sent a team of well-equipped guards to investigate, but the regular army and all the people in the small village where they were stationed disappeared overnight without a trace.

The government originally wanted to block the news, but the fire could not be covered with paper, and people began to disappear in the city.Even though the number of missing people was not that large compared to Daliang's total population base, the whole city was worried and turned pale.

Some people say that this is the bloody smell of successive years of fighting, which annoys the gods.He suggested that people produce a pair of "mica" (unmarried and unmarried men and women) every month, take the initiative to offer sacrifices to the gods, and play with the gods to quench their anger.

Some people say that this is because the land was angry that they abused water and trees and punished them.People should migrate with their families and change their capitals for the dynasty.

But no one is willing to hand over their young children, and no one is willing to give up their hometown where they have settled for a hundred years. This matter has remained in a stalemate, and people still disappear inexplicably every day.

At this time, a person suddenly stood up and said that he was a Taoist who went north to experience the southern tantra.In his opinion, the feng shui around this city is very good. It should be a place with outstanding people, but the abundant spiritual energy can often attract the so-called "big monsters" to station there. He changed the pattern of the nearby underground, which gave birth to many Fierce evil, obey him, guard him.

Later, the Taoist said that the so-called big monster was probably a zongzi born after a terrible corpse transformation. Because of his high political status during his lifetime, he had to be sacrificed with the breath of a human being.

Such things are no longer afraid of yang energy, and cannot be touched head-on by human power.The Taoist spent half a month exploring and felt that the monsters were gathering underground in the northeast.

After reporting the situation to the helpless king and obtaining human and material support, he moved two kilometers to the northeast from the largest water system in the city, and asked the workers to dig a deep hole.

The exposed part of the big hole is bowl-shaped, with a radius of no more than seven meters. The deeper you dig, the smaller the hole's radius, until the radius is zero, and the hole is dug.

Taoists call this "Yin Tower".

Afterwards, he performed a secret ceremony called "Yinta Town Demon" inside, and no one knew what he had arranged underground.When he came out, everyone found that his whole body had changed, he was chattering, and he didn't know what he was afraid of.He just asked people to cover up the cave, told them not to break ground nearby easily, and left in a hurry.

After the Taoist left, calm inside and outside the city really returned, everyone lived and worked in peace and contentment, and gradually forgot about it.

It has been a thousand years since this unofficial history was unearthed again.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a major earthquake in Hebei. The earthquake did not disturb the people in Kaifeng, Henan, but it affected the "Yin Tower" unknowingly - it lost its effect.

The nearby monsters that had been suppressed for thousands of years began to move again.When the news was reported, the emperor was very scared, so he invited the most powerful monks to build a solemn and solemn Buddhist temple on the "Yin Pagoda", and named it "Kaibao Temple". It was named "Fushengyuan", which means "pray for blessings and overcome evil". Then in 1049, a glass pagoda pressing on the "Yin Pagoda" was built, named "Kaibao Temple Pagoda".

The ruling class did not want such negative things to be exposed to the sun too much, so they made up a story to the people, saying that the predecessor of the Kaibao Temple Pagoda was a wooden pagoda. The Sakyamuni Buddha relic was built after eight years of conception and design.The newly built pagoda leaned to the north. Someone asked him why. He said that the capital is flat and there are no mountains, and there are many northwest winds. Not far from here, there is a big river flowing. Under the influence of the shore, the tower will naturally come straight, and it is predicted that the iron tower will not collapse for 100 years.It's a pity that the wooden pagoda was only kept for more than 700 years before it was struck by lightning and burned down.

Therefore, this imitation Kaibao Temple Pagoda was born.Of course, the real situation is naturally only known to a very small number of people and officials who understand that period of unofficial history, and in order to survive, they all pretend to be confused.At the same time, in order to appease the hearts of the people, they only praised the merits of the emperor's promotion of Buddhism-this history was recorded as official history.

And the Kaibao Temple Pagoda, which was illuminated by the Buddha on the surface but hidden in the mist, is the iron tower, a famous scenic spot in Kaifeng that everyone is familiar with today.
