Master of the city

The inscriptions on the stone tablet are all ancient Chinese characters, and they are in a state of disrepair. Fortunately, the secret record of Yang Gong is also written in ancient Chinese. Zhang Fan has some basic knowledge. According to the above and below sentences and his own guess, he can understand the contents recorded on the stone tablet.

This mountain was originally called guhun mountain, because mountain people often encounter ghosts when they travel at night, and even some people have seen ghost soldiers traveling in the mountains at night.

According to the legend here, the time when the ghost soldiers first appeared was more than 1000 years ago, after the rebellion of the eight kings of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when the land of China sank. At that time, barbarians sprang up in the north, and the Sixteen Kingdoms of Wuhu were under separate rule.

Among them, Shi Hu, the emperor of the later Zhao Dynasty, was extremely cruel. In the army, those who were more talented or had martial arts skills than Shi Hu, Shi Hu would try to kill them, and countless people died in his hands. And every time a city is captured, both men and women are killed. Once, after the stone tiger captured Qingzhou, he ordered the city to be slaughtered. Only more than 700 people survived the bloody massacre.

His family is even more chaotic. His son, Shi Shen, is not satisfied with Shi Hu's love for his brother and is still arrogant when he is imprisoned. In a rage, Shi Hu orders to kill Shi Shen, his wife and family, and then put them in a coffin. At the same time, he kills more than 200 of Shi Shen's party members.

The other son Shi Xuan wanted to get rid of Shi Tao because he was dissatisfied with his father Shi Hu's preference for him. Soon after, the two brothers often had conflicts, so Shi Xuan cut off Shi Tao's hands and feet, stabbed his eyes, and died miserably. Shi Xuan also planned to kill his father at Shi Tao's funeral to take the throne. Later, the matter came to light and was slaughtered by Shihu.

The tragedy of the people at that time can be imagined when there was such a person in power who didn't even have brotherhood.

After Shi Hu died, his three sons Shi Shi, Shi Zun and Shi Jian succeeded to the throne one after another. Well, why? Those who succeed in the front are killed by those who succeed in the back.

When Shi Jian became emperor, retribution finally arrived. Ran min, the general of the later Zhao Dynasty, overthrew the later Zhao dynasty founded by the Jie people and established the only Han regime in the north of China at that time.

According to historical records, Shi Jian was killed by ran min in Yecheng at that time, but the records on the stone tablet are different. It is said that Shi Jian led a group of soldiers to escape from Yecheng at that time, and made a long journey to Murong Xianbei's Qianyan for help. Finally, he was besieged by pursuers on this lonely soul mountain. He committed suicide and killed all his soldiers.

Shi Jian and the group of soldiers became the earliest Ghost Legend on the lonely soul mountain.

Until the end of the Ming Dynasty, a Fengshui gentleman from Qingtian, Liu Bowen, traveled here. He felt that the evil spirit was too heavy and hurt the harmony of heaven. So he closed the mountain in the mountains and set up this lonely soul temple, so that the nearby mountain people would not forget to worship the four seasons and solar terms, so as to kill the evil spirit of thousands of years of accumulated resentment.

As the saying goes, the world is divided into three parts: Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen. They are not only praised for their military and state affairs, but also for their geomantic skills.

The younger generation of Liu Bowen in Qingtian must not be the one who has gained fame. This arrangement must have deep meaning in it.

However, it is obvious that the incense has been cut off in this lonely soul temple for a long time, and it is quite normal that the evil spirit of the offering is aggravated.

In addition, what Zhang fan does not understand is what the sentence "practice closing mountains" means.

Is the whole solitary soul mountain sealed up by magic to prevent ordinary people from breaking in? Obviously, this is impossible. If the whole mountain is blocked, how can the nearby mountain people worship?

Left and right don't understand, Zhang Fan simply down the mountain, first back to the camp there, a good look at the situation of the incident, and then make plans.

By the time we got back to the camp, it was already dark. Although the investigation team had been here for more than ten days, because the mountain road was difficult to walk, they did not build prefabricated houses and still lived in tents of all sizes.

At this time, everyone finished their day's work. When it came to leisure time, someone found dried wood from the nearby woods and lit a campfire in the middle of the camp. Men and women sat around the campfire, eating and laughing.

It should have been a very serious thing that more than 300 people were missing, but these people have obviously been polished by time. At first glance, they are not very different from ordinary picnickers.

"Xiao Zhang, this way, come here quickly." Zhang Fanzheng didn't know where to go to find Ma Zhiyuan, so he saw a man standing up from the campfire and waving to him, with something in his mouth.

That person is naturally Ma Zhiyuan. Shen Xiaoman, a little girl, is sitting next to him. Her big eyes are blinking at Zhang Fan, and she almost asks, "have you found my father?".

"Well behaved, don't worry. Your father hasn't had an accident yet." Zhang Fan touched Shen Xiaoman's head and found that the sun corner of her parents' palace was a little brighter than that at noon, and her heart was a little more settled.

"Well, dad must be OK." Shen Xiaoman nodded knowingly.

"Come on, Xiao Zhang, we're in the mountains. We don't have as much food as we do outside. We'll make do with canned luncheon meat and beef jerky." Ma Zhiyuan put cans, dried meat and a bottle of water in Zhang Fan's hand.

"That's good. What kind of bike do you want?" Zhang Fan is also impolite, scooped a piece of lunch meat into his mouth with a spoon and chewed it with relish. It's a great dinner for him."Who said no? I don't think those fortune tellers under the overpass may be able to earn this dinner all day. I said," jump God, did you find anything valuable on the mountain just now? "

A rather disharmonious voice came from the other side of Ma Zhiyuan. Zhang Fan frowned slightly and looked over there. He saw that the young man who had been shouting and found at the gate of the camp was looking at him with disdainful eyes.

"Yes, I find that the terrain and mountains here are in conflict with my destiny. It's easy to offend villains. It's really bad luck. I don't know, brother. What did you find this afternoon? In that case, did you find that this place is in line with your destiny, and it's easy to meet noble people? "

Zhang Fanzao is not the woodlouse that bullied the village. He wants to run a brother with his words. Come on, let's see whose mouth is better.

"You Young people are not stupid. How can they not hear Zhang Fan scolding himself for being a villain? But after a round of thinking, they don't know how to scold him back.

"Well, you'll make a fool of yourself. What else can you do? Let me tell you, we have made new progress in the afternoon. In the stratum samples drilled out, we found that the content of an element in one layer increased significantly. Do you know what it is? I don't think you even know what elements are, you are such a magic wand. "

No one else's tongue is sharp. Young people just want to show off their new discoveries in front of Zhang Fan. However, what he didn't expect was that Zhang Fan just slightly narrowed his eyes and spat out a word from his mouth: "iron."

Not only young people were stunned, but also some other researchers nearby.

They thought that something like "gold, wood, water, fire and earth" would come out of the mouth of this magic wand, but they didn't expect that what people would spit out was a neat word "iron".

"How do you know?"

The young man's surprise was beyond expression. He saw the goods go up and down the mountain alone with his own eyes. During this period, it was impossible for anyone to inform him of today's discovery.

"What's the difficulty? So many of you scientists must have measured the magnetic field here, isn't it a bit chaotic? After you dig out the soil layer today, the reason why you pay special attention to the layer with high iron content is that you have detected that the soil layer has a great influence on the magnetic field, right? "

Let alone be stunned, the water cups in the hands of several researchers fell directly on the ground, and the Deputy group leader named Jia pengxiao came over with his eyebrows twisted and looked at Zhang Fan suspiciously.

"How do you know that, young man?"

It's no big deal for Zhang Fan to say this in the mouth of any scientific researcher, but he, who is engaged in feudal superstition, should not say such a scientific word.

"What's so strange?" Zhang Fan chuckled, "group leader Jia, I'd like to ask you first. Do you know what is the earliest magnetic field observation instrument in the world?"

"This..." Jia pengxiao is confused. It's absolutely easy to ask him to explain how to use the instrument for measuring the magnetic field. But when you ask him what the earliest magnetic field measuring instrument is, he really can't tell. But If you admit that you don't know in front of a god stick, will you lose face?

Jia pengxiao's Kung Fu of weighing the gains and losses, Zhang Fan has found the compass worth 10 million from his pocket. The pointer of the compass is spinning at this time, obviously influenced by the strong evil spirit here. Looking at the compass, Jia pengxiao seemed to understand something.

"As you can see, the oldest magnetic field measuring instrument in the world is the geomantic compass left by our ancestors. So what's so strange about the magnetic field coming out of my magic stick?"

"Well This... "

Listening to a magic wand holding a prop of a magic wand saying that it's science, it's a pain to these researchers. However, they can't refute it. The operating principle of compass is really related to magnetic field.

Zhang Fan sorted out the chemistry knowledge he learned in junior high school, and then continued: "are you very excited after you found that layer of soil rich in iron, and feel that you have found the source of magnetic chaos here? Although Fe3O4 is magnetic, with the amount of that layer, it is impossible to have such a great influence on the surrounding magnetic field. But it did. Do you know why? "

"This..."

Jia pengxiao is speechless. Are the prodigies talking about science now?

"Because of what?"

"Resentment."
