Paranormal incident investigation notes

The ground under the cliff is not flat, but has a slope. There are also things like spikes on top.

Those colorful colors are emanating from those things.

This appears to be a stalactite. Here, it looks like a small cave.

The densely packed human skeletons were scattered among stalactites one after another, being discarded like garbage.

He Wei stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the scene under her feet through the goggles on her helmet with a stern expression.

An idea arose uncontrollably in her heart.

Are these bones left behind after the sacrifices offered to the mountain god were eaten by the mountain god?

Are these people eaten by the mountain god?

She turned around subconsciously and once again cast her sights on the statue of the mountain god that was full of strange aura.

The firearms in the hands of more than a dozen elite soldiers were always aimed at it.

Suppressing the slightest emotion in her heart, she picked up the intercom and said something. After a while, more people wearing full-body protective clothing came in and brought enough climbing equipment.

Several soldiers escorted several archaeologists, and under the leadership of He Wei, they rappelled down to the bottom of the cliff.

Only then did she realize that these bones were not eaten by the mountain gods, but were left behind after the corpses had naturally decomposed.

There are still traces of clothing left on these skeletons, and there are still remaining ropes left between their wrists, ankles, chests and abdomen.

Some of the skeletons can still clearly see the scars left by swords. There are also some obvious fractures in some bones. It is not known whether they were broken by someone during their lifetime or broken when they were thrown off the cliff.

In addition to the skeletons, there are many ancient relics left in this cave and among the stalactites.

There are wooden products, pockets, clothing, metal objects, etc. that are so rotten that their original appearance is almost invisible.

Under the protection of the soldiers, the archaeologists began to clean up these things. Various relics were carefully put away, and different skeletons were sorted and summarized separately.

Looking at this mess, He Wei thought silently.

Logically speaking, even if there are skeletons in this place of worship to the mountain god, they should be left behind after being eaten by the mountain god. There is no reason for so many inexplicable corpses to appear.

If it was a sacrifice, then it would be sacrificed to the mountain god. If it was not a sacrifice, how could he die here?

There may be something hidden in it that you don't know about.

"Officer He, there is writing here."

While thinking, the voice of an archaeologist came. He Wei walked over and saw the archaeologist using his gloves to find something that looked like a rotten wooden sign from the mud-like thing in the ground.

After carefully cleaning up the debris on it, the self above was revealed.

He Wei frowned and slowly said: "...Yunguan Tang Yuan...?"

I can't see clearly before the word Yun, and I can't see clearly the handwriting after the word Yuan.

She looked at the archaeologist with slight confusion.

The archaeologist carefully looked through it, thought for a moment, and then said: "It looks like a Taoist disc, which is used by ancient Taoist priests to indicate their identity, the Taoist temple where they live, their place of origin and other information. It is usually issued by the government. Of course, only serious Taoist priests have this thing, not wild Taoist priests."

The wooden sign was found next to a skeleton. There was some remnants of fabric there, which appeared to be some sort of pocket. There should have been some things in the pocket, such as paper, but now they are completely rotten and the original appearance cannot be seen.

The skeleton had apparently been shot - there were obvious bullet holes in its skull. In the skull that had become a cavity, the brain tissue had completely rotted and disappeared, but a rusty bullet remained.

He Wei observed carefully and came to a conclusion.

"This is a remnant of a certain model of old-fashioned firearm. It is a few years old and has a low rate of fire and low power."

"Yes." The archaeologist agreed: "Comprehensive analysis shows that this skeleton should have appeared around a hundred years ago. Well, about the time after the fall of the Qing Dynasty."

The era of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China is indeed not that far away from now.

"Then this Taoist disc means that its owner is a Taoist priest named Tang Yuan from a certain cloud temple?"

"This should be."

He Wei felt a little strange in her heart. How could a Taoist priest appear here inexplicably? He was also shot through the head with a gun for no apparent reason and died here.

But suddenly, she remembered that through genetic tracing and historical investigation, the first generation of ancestors with the Hag.1 gene probably appeared between the Zhengtong Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the Jiajing Emperor.

From the ancient books collected by Lu Ming and Huang Weimin, it is clear that the inheritance of "sacrifice to mountain gods" originated from the time between Emperor Zhengde and Emperor Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, that poor man who did not leave his name. boy. After that, there was the Tang family that appeared in the late Ming Dynasty.

The Tang family lasted until the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, when it met its demise in a slightly strange "mountain bandit attack".

And this Taoist disc shows that the era of this Taoist priest was probably during the Republic of China.

The Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty is not that far away from the Republic of China. After all, the Daoguang period can be regarded as the end of the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, this Taoist priest is also named Tang.

So...could he be the successor of the original Tang family? In this way, he has a connection with the mountain god, and his appearance here will not seem out of place.

Of course, these are just speculations and there is no evidence.

But this guess was enough to make He Wei feel excited.

In the investigation of Organization

And from a poor boy, to the Tang family, and now to the Taoist priest named Tang - if this Taoist priest is really the inheritor, then this inheritance from history has advanced to a stage that is only about a hundred years away from the present day. Years later, this cannot be considered a major breakthrough.

As long as we find the next successor, we can almost move from history to reality, and truly uncover Organization X!

Is the important clue that may be hidden in the real place of worship for the mountain god that makes Organization

"Keep searching!"

Due to space constraints, too many people cannot be accommodated here. What's more, some space must be set aside for security personnel to deal with possible accidents.

The search progress is somewhat slow. But He Wei was not in a hurry.

After the armed forces belonging to the human world have noticed this place and taken over the task of confronting Organization X head-on, Action Team 2 has enough time to investigate slowly.

At this moment, on the cliff, in front of Zhang Dingshan, the search personnel also made a discovery.

"This is porcelain! It should be a porcelain bowl."

"There is a piece of wood here. There seems to be writing on it, but it is completely decayed and you can't tell what the writing is."

"Send the board to the laboratory for testing."

Through precise trace residues, indentations, etc., it might be possible to restore the writing on the wooden board.

Time passed slowly, and a few hours passed in the blink of an eye, and news from the outside world finally came back.

Previously, not only these porcelain pieces and wooden boards, but also a large number of other specimens from this cave were transported to the outside world and underwent detailed testing by professional testing agencies.

"Residues of human blood and fabrics were detected in the specimens. Residues of fruits, grains, and animal fat were detected in the specimens near the altar, which are suspected to be tributes."

"Trace residues of gunpowder were detected in the cave. A firearm should have been fired at that time."

"Skeleton examination shows that all the skeletons are from the same era, about a hundred years ago."

"The restoration of the handwriting on the wooden board has been completed. The writing on it is 'Yours sincerely, Shang Jilong, the letter man'."

Shang Jilong?

This is an unfamiliar name. The meaning of this line of words seems to indicate the identity of the person who presided over the sacrifice, a man named Shang Jilong. This person sacrificed many fruits, animal meats, etc., most likely including a person with the Hag.1 gene who was lying on the altar at that time, to the mountain god, which is called "respecting".

"Could it be that this Shang Jilong is the inheritor of the 'Sacrifice to the Mountain God' after the fall of the Tang family?"

He Wei's words were full of irrepressible excitement. Zhang Dingshan said in a deep voice: "Go check this Shang Jilong's information immediately."

The numerous skeletons, swords, gunpowder residues, bullet holes, etc. all indicate that the person in charge of all this, that is, "Xinnan Shang Jilong" may not be an ordinary person.

Even if it is only a hundred years old, it is enough to obliterate all traces of an ordinary person. But if he is not ordinary, it is very likely that relevant information has been passed down. After all, in an absolute sense, a hundred years is not too long.

Zhang Dingshan's order soon spread to the outside world. The headquarters of the Planetary Security Bureau and the second operation team of the Operations Division immediately began searching.

What was somewhat beyond He Wei and Zhang Dingshan's expectations was that they originally thought that it might take a lot of effort to find out the information about Shang Jilong. But what I didn't expect was that within half an hour, a lot of information had been sent over.

Opening the information details, He Wei was full of surprises.

"I didn't expect that this Shang Jilong would actually be a celebrity."

He is indeed a celebrity. At least for his time.

It was an era when warlords were fighting and the world was in chaos. In that era, in the Taihang Mountains, this man named Shang Jilong had the largest number of subordinates, even gathering more than 10,000 troops. He was famous and dominated the area.
