Paranormal incident investigation notes

Chapter 50 Life Encounters (please follow up)

Information and related records show that Shang Jilong was originally just a bandit leader. His subordinates, including all the old, weak, sick and disabled, only numbered about a thousand. The maximum number of people who could be drawn out to fight was about two to three hundred. Oh my god.

Originally, he was entrenched in the Taihang Mountains, where he thought he was a carefree and unrestrained king of the mountain. He would go down the mountain to plunder when he had nothing to do, tie up a few meat coupons to extort ransom, and engage in some ordinary business such as killing people and stealing goods.

In that era, such mountain kings were everywhere in this land. The outcome of their lives is nothing more than to either perish in the chaos of gangsterism, or to be wiped out one by one by armed forces from higher levels when the overall situation has been decided, and then leave a name in a certain local chronicle and be recorded. Previous story: In a certain month of a certain year, the bandit XX was wiped out.

But this Shang Jilong had another unusual life experience.

Information shows that one day, a Taoist priest went up the mountain and entered Shang Jilong's village.

It is impossible to verify whether the Taoist priest came to the door on his own initiative or was robbed and carried up the mountain. However, based on comprehensive judgment, it is more likely that they were robbed and climbed up the mountain.

After that, Shang Jilong's banditry career reached another peak.

Because under the guidance of the Taoist priest, Shang Jilong unexpectedly found a gold mine not far from the village. This gold mine did not have high reserves and was of ordinary quality, but at least it was a gold mine, and it was gold.

As a result, Shang Jilong made a fortune and began to recruit troops. His team expanded for a time, and he successfully completed his transformation from bandit to warlord. His residence was also moved from the mountain village to the county town, and he also obtained the appointment documents from the government at that time, and he became a prince in a serious way.

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 more powerful than him - he had tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, and his team also possessed some advanced heavy weapons at the time, and he was interested in the territory he was in.

According to common sense, Shang Jilong, as the weaker party, would either give up his territory and return to the mountains to become a bandit, or the two sides would fight, but most of the time it 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 abilities.

One rainy night, Shang Jilong personally led all his elite men, about a thousand people, to raid the enemy warlord's headquarters on a rainy night, and annihilated the warlord leader and upper-level leaders in one fell swoop. As a result, the opponent's team rushed away. Not only did our side not suffer much loss, it also received a large amount of the opponent's baggage, equipment, personnel, etc., completing a shocking reversal and expanding its strength again.

The difficulty of doing this is that Shang Jilong must have a thorough knowledge of the enemy warlord's troop mobilization, as well as almost all information such as the location of the headquarters and the deployment of defenses, and must pay attention to timeliness. Only with "super speed" can this be accomplished.

However, the enemy warlord leader's troop formations, arrangements, etc. are known to be "random" and have almost no fixed rules. Even if Shang Jilong's spies in the opponent's team can get this information, there will not be enough information. Time will deliver it to Shang Jilong.

How Shang Jilong completely grasped the opponent's movements, accurately found the key points and weak points, and finally struck the fatal blow, this matter has not yet been determined. The few local history experts who have studied the character of Shang Jilong are more inclined to believe that this was an adventure, a desperate counterattack in order to survive, but it was just good luck that led to such a huge gain. Results.

But there are also unofficial records that say that the mysterious Taoist priest next to Shang Jilong calculated it by observing the sky at night and using various mysterious and mysterious methods.

But in short, Shang Jilong survived this catastrophe in his life and ate the wealth left by the opponent. His power expanded again, with tens of thousands of combatable soldiers under his command, and he became a famous and dominant presence in the Taihang Mountains.

After that, Shang Jilong lived a free and easy life for several more years, but as the overall situation changed, he eventually ushered in his demise.

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

This time, the mysterious Taoist priest did not show up.

Shang Jilong did not die in this battle, but all his forces were gone. After that, Shang Jilong took his remnant soldiers and left the political arena. After that there is no record, because no one is interested in him anymore.

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

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

Could this Taoist priest be the Taoist priest from Tang Yuan Dynasty who came from a certain Yunguan temple as indicated on the Taoist disc?

This Taoist priest was deeply involved in both of Shang Jilong's two major life encounters. What role did he play in this process? What role did he play?

Are these encounters related to the mountain god?

Why did he finally die in this cave, among the 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 data records that the Taoist priest's surname is Tang. Another data shows that during a banquet with a large family, Shang Jilong once affectionately called the Taoist priest 'Yuan Hai'. Together, it is 'Tang Yuan Hai'."

The name on that Taoist disk only has two characters, "Tang Yuan", and the third character cannot 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, both Tang Yuanhai and Shang Jilong appeared in this place where mountain gods were worshiped. Combined with historical records, Shang Jilong's two major life encounters - the first was the discovery of gold mines, the second was the defeat of hostile warlords and the collection of enemy troops and baggage. This Tang Yuanhai Ju played an extremely important role. effect.

Moreover, Tang Yuanhai and the Tang family, which had been destroyed and were almost clearly the inheritors of the "Mountain God Sacrifice", had the same surname, and they lived not far apart in the same era. A speculation naturally appeared between Zhang Dingshan and He Wei. in the mind.

"Perhaps, when the Tang family was destroyed, there were still some surviving descendants who inherited the secrets. Tang Yuanhai was one of them.

As time passed, he always kept this secret until he came to Shang Jilong.

Later, it may be because he wanted to show his importance to Shang Jilong, gain attention and trust, and restore the glory of the family, or it may be to save his life. Most likely, it was both. He finally used Shang Jilong to help him. Following the power of the dragon, sacrifices were found, and after many years of interruption, sacrifices to the mountain gods began again.

Among these sacrifices, at least two were successful. The first time he found a gold mine, the second time he might have obtained some important tools, such as a drone with night vision function, which helped Shang Jilong obtain the most critical information in almost real time, so as to This defeated a powerful enemy.

After this, the relationship between the two broke down. Because it is 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 the secret, or it may be that some of Tang Yuanhai's demands angered Shang Jilong. In short, he was beaten to death, and Shang Jilong was succeeding the poor boy, Tang's Later, the family became the third generation inheritor of the 'Mountain God Sacrifice'.

But now it seems that the ‘Mountain God Sacrifice’ is not omnipotent. It failed to help Shang Jilong continue to grow his power. Shang Jilong's armed forces were eventually ruthlessly crushed by the changing tide of the times, and he himself withdrew from the stage of history and politics and disappeared without a trace. "

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

"These bones..."

He Wei was still a little confused that so many people had died here.

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

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

There was no genetic testing technology in those days. When Shang Jilong and Tang Yuanhai chose sacrifices, they still could only choose randomly based on conditions such as whether their hair was thick or not, what their surname was, and where their hometown was. Then they tried one by one and finally found a suitable sacrifice.

"In those days, human life was like a piece of grass."

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

A chill slowly filled He Wei's heart.

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

Commander Shang Jilong's soldiers went around arresting people. Many people who met the screening criteria were brought here, then tied up and brought here one by one to be placed on the altar.

The commander-in-chief Shang Jilong looked on coldly, while the Taoist priest Tang Yuanhai kept repeating the sacrificial words. When the mountain god didn't respond, he killed the person and replaced it with the next one. If the next one didn't respond, he killed him again and replaced him with the next one. He kept trying and trying until he found it. As long as there is a reaction, the sacrifice will be completed.

These bloodshed, cruelties and crimes were slowly buried as time went by. If I hadn't come here at this moment, I'm afraid that until the things in this cave completely decayed and lost all traces, they might not be excavated.

The communication equipment sounded again.

He Wei took one look and immediately became energetic.

"Captain, we have made a major discovery! The traces of Shang Jilong after he left the field have been found!"
