The villagers of Longyuan Village may have exaggerated the description of this mountain due to ignorance or spreading rumors, which is why so many mythological colors are extended.
It does not rule out that they secretly did something to create this atmosphere.
Take Hu Xiaocao as an example. I originally thought that this little girl would be the best to get clues, but after contact and conversation, I found that even adults may not have that opinion.
There is also Sun Zhenbang, he is also a veteran policeman, it is not easy to hide from him, not to mention Captain Zhou and Bai Yanfei, there are so many policemen, it is impossible that none of them can figure it out.
Moreover, those files have detailed records, so the possibility of falsification is unlikely.
If there really is a mastermind behind the scenes who can hide the truth and keep so many police officers in the dark, then how huge a behemoth such an organization must be?
"It can't be the Blu-ray project that is widely spread by the ignorant media, right?"
In addition, there are also people from the archaeological team of the institute. What they experienced is also incredible. Just because everyone has the same nightmare, it is simply impossible to do it artificially.
Professor Zhang and others are engaged in academic research. If there is no other way, it is absolutely impossible to give up the excavation of ancient tombs. According to their identity and status, they cannot be bribed.
Besides, wanting to buy off so many top people from all walks of life at once is really a bit of a fantasy.
The people in Bureau 749 originally thought that these few trips would reveal the secrets of Longyuan Mountain, but as they explored in depth, they found that not only had the mysterious veil not been unveiled, but it had become more confusing.
There are more and more fogs about Longyuan Mountain, and everything is heading towards an unknown.
"Captain, where should our next target be?"
Xu Tiancheng's voice brought Wang Xuehao's thoughts back to reality.
Wang Xuehao looked at the long list of names and pondered for a moment.
"Let's go meet this professor of "Book of Changes" again. I heard that he has done research on Feng Shui and also stayed in Longyuan Mountain for a few days. I wonder if anything strange happened to him."
Based on the previous examples, it can be inferred that something will happen to everyone in Longyuan Mountain more or less, whether it is big or small, but it is essential.
Maybe these strange things are inexplicably related to the Feng Shui of Longyuan Mountain?
Bureau 749 could only send people to temporarily return to the capital, and then went to the Academy of Social Sciences in person to find the old professor.
Looking at the documents in their hands and confirming them with the official, Professor Zhang frowned slightly and asked, "What do you want from me?"
"Professor Zhang, we are here to learn about things related to Longyuan Mountain."
Professor Zhang invited them into his office. Many students looked at them curiously along the way. They wondered what this group of people with special temperament were doing.
Professor Zhang is usually busy, focusing on Feng Shui research and Qi Men Dun Jia, and doesn't pay much attention to those things on the Internet.
Looking at the information handed over by Wang Xuehao, he took it curiously, but the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became.
Until member 749 asked: "You said before that Longyuan Mountain has a special Feng Shui terrain. Can you tell us more about your experience? Have any strange things happened?"
Professor Zhang nodded and answered in agreement.
"That place is indeed special. In the past few decades, I have rarely seen such a unique Feng Shui location, with the right time, place, and people, but if something strange happens -"
He paused and fell into deep thought, "There doesn't seem to be anything particularly weird, but I did have a very weird dream. I wonder if it counts?"
Dream?
The people in Bureau 749 looked at each other and thought of the common nightmare that the members of the archaeological team had, and suddenly felt that there was something interesting in this.
Wang Xuehao quickly asked: "What dream?"
Professor Zhang seemed to be caught in some kind of memory, "There was a woman in my dream who led me to a cloud of mist. There was a person hidden in it. I talked with her and told her a lot about Feng Shui and Qi Men Dun Jia."
"After I left, I heard that the mountain was about to be developed. Not long after, strange things happened to people who came here. At that time, it felt like they were trapped in the formation of Qimen Dunjia."
Professor Zhang said the last sentence casually, with a bit of joking in it.
The speaker has no intention, the listener has intention.
Compared with the unbelievable things that people in Bureau 749 heard before, what happened to Professor Zhang seemed much more ordinary.
Nothing happened to him on Longyuan, he just had a weird dream.
This dream was different from the dreams dreamed by the members of the archaeological team. There were no bones chasing after them, but a word that I heard during the previous investigation appeared again - fog!
Yao Ruotong didn't know what he was thinking, so he asked in a strange way, "Then do you think that mountain contains some kind of power?"
Professor Zhang looked at the materials they brought and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
"It's hard to say this because I haven't experienced it personally, but I can tell you that there is something strange about that mountain. I think you can ask the people who were involved in the development project."
The information Professor Zhang obtained here was not particularly large, but it was better than nothing.
The people from Bureau 749 did not go to Fog City after leaving Kyoto, but went all the way to another city.
In this city, they found Li Minghai and others who had participated in the exploration of scenic spots. All of these people had participated in the development of the Longyuan Mountain project.
As for why they didn't go to them immediately, it was because Wang Xuehao and others had read relevant information before.
After waking up from the hospital, they all had memory loss and had forgotten certain things that happened on the mountain.
Since then, Li Minghai has not introduced new projects or attracted investment. When the 749 Bureau came to visit, he was resting at home.
"Hello Mr. Li, we are looking for you to know more about Longyuan Mountain——"
Li Minghai's expression changed slightly. When he heard the words Longyuan Mountain, his body trembled reflexively, as if he was afraid of this place from the bottom of his heart.
Before Wang Xuehao could finish speaking, he immediately interrupted: "I don't know anything."
After such a long time, the shadow left by Longyuan Mountain to Li Minghai not only did not dissipate, but grew day by day, and became an untouchable forbidden area.
Seeing his huge reaction, the people in Bureau 749 knew that this matter was urgent. Wang Xuehao winked, and Yao Ruotong understood.
"Mr. Li, don't be nervous or afraid, we are here to help you."
Yao Ruotong has studied psychology and can be said to be an expert in this field. After her soft words of comfort, Li Minghai's mood gradually calmed down.
"Actually, the main reason we came here this time is to solve a series of problems in Longyuan Mountain. This matter has attracted great attention from the country. I hope you can cooperate with us."
Wang Xuehao and Xu Tiancheng were moved by emotion and reason, and Li Minghai's attitude finally relaxed.
With a complicated expression on his face, he began to describe everything that happened in the mountain.
"Actually, I don't want to mention it, because there is a great white-bone immortal in that mountain..."
Thinking back to this day, Li Minghai still feels creepy.
After hearing his words, the people in Bureau 749 froze on the spot.
Taoist priest Qing Wei and the Wudu archaeological team both mentioned white bones, which, like the word "mist", is a very frequent word.
Now, I heard it again.
Xu Tiancheng's expression became speechless, "The Great White Bone Immortal?"
Li Minghai nodded, "A group of us got lost at first, and there was a heavy fog in the forest. In a trance, we saw a Taoist temple. There was a Taoist in the Taoist temple, with the image of a skeleton and wearing a Taoist robe. He was the Great Skeleton Immortal!"
"In short, the Great Immortal of Bones must have been disturbed by us when he was practicing in the mountains, but fortunately the Great Immortal was kind-hearted and let us go, so when we woke up, we were already in the hospital."
People in 749 thought of Taoist priest Qingwei they met in Longyuan Village.
"Is the Taoist temple you are talking about the Shangqing Temple?"
Li Minghai nodded, not expecting them to know about this, "Yes, I met the exact same Taoist temple in the suburbs of Wudu later!"
Hearing this, everyone in Bureau 749 felt very strange. There were quite a few people going up the mountain, but only Li Minghai and the others encountered the Taoist temple.
As for the so-called White Bone Immortal, it is thought-provoking, because many people have mentioned White Bones...
Do Taoist temples exist in the mountains? Or is it simply the hallucination of Li Minghai and others?
A Taoist temple far away in the suburbs of the foggy city is inextricably linked to Longyuan Mountain.
It is impossible to believe that the mountain god once went to Shangqing Temple, as the village chief and Hu Xiaocao said.
Due to lack of memory, Li Minghai provided relatively little information, but this character is extremely important and can be said to be a link between the past and the future.
Wang Xuehao had previously wondered whether there were villagers or other people behind the scenes who did not want the mountain to be developed.
But they simply can't do this.
Not only Li Minghai, but other people who went into the mountain for exploration also had similar opinions to him. They all mentioned the heavy fog and the mysterious Taoist temple in the mountain.
There has been no progress in the investigation so far. For the first time, the people in Bureau 749 feel a little troublesome. Previous cases have been peeling off the cocoons and gradually restoring the truth of the matter.
When we got here, the more we explored, the more foggy it became.
Looking at the dejected Xu Tiancheng and others, the team was somewhat silent.
Yao Ruotong, always optimistic, showed a bright smile, patted his shoulder and comforted:
"Everyone, cheer up. If we are defeated by difficulties so easily, wouldn't we be damaging ourselves?"
The crisp sound was like a clear spring flowing in a mountain stream, dispersing the low pressure in the team.
Wang Xuehao nodded very appreciatively, "Ruotong is right, we have experienced so much, we have never seen any big winds and waves, but we cannot capsize in the gutter and lose our reputation for 749 games."
Xu Tiancheng didn't know what he thought of, and he joked: "It doesn't matter even if the boat capsizes, we can still swim."
Wang Xuehao glanced at him sideways, "If you don't throw cold water on me, you'll feel uncomfortable, right?"
After everyone made jokes, the atmosphere in the team became much better and no longer as heavy as before.
There are many names on the list. If you ask them one by one, it will definitely take a lot of time. These people have a relationship with Longyuan Mountain, but it is not deep.
Wang Xuehao thought for a moment and already had an idea in his mind.
"Tiancheng, please take a few people to the Astronomy Bureau to investigate the Sky Fire incident. Make sure everyone checks carefully."
"Ruotong, go and see the interview program team to see if there are any new discoveries. The program team also encountered some things while filming."
Everyone had a clear division of labor and immediately began to take action, heading to the observatory and the folk gathering program group.
As time goes by, the day has passed before you know it. The sun sets in the west, and the buildings in the secret area are shrouded in a faint light. The clouds in the sky are blurred layer by layer, like a fine oil painting.
Wang Xuehao was sorting out the documents and information in his hands, and the wrinkles between his brows could almost kill a mosquito.
Xu Tiancheng and Yao Ruotong reported on their investigations.
"Apart from the special phenomenon of sky fires captured at the observatory, nothing special happened."
"The Feng Feng column team first encountered animals that behaved strangely, all converging towards one place, and then they also found fog in the mountains, and then took some weird pictures."
"We also asked the Internet celebrities and bloggers who came here because of their reputation. They all said that they got lost in the fog in the mountains and could not get out no matter what. They even encountered bones chasing them behind."
All the people on the list have been carefully questioned by them. It can be said that as long as they have been involved with Longyuan Mountain, they have conducted investigations.
If someone is pretending to be a ghost, or for other reasons, it is impossible not to leave any clues, because there is no perfect case.
The passing water leaves a sound, and the passing geese leave traces.
But I originally thought I could find clues, but all the clues pointed to some mysterious and uncontrollable force.
Hu Xiaocao, Sun Zhenbang, Xie Yixuan, Lao Dao, Zhou Dui, Bai Yanfei, Professor Zhang, Li Minghai
Looking at the names on the list, it seems like there are two invisible hands connecting all these people together. They seem to have no intersection, but in fact they all have one thing in common.
That is Longyuan Mountain!
Everyone is related to Longyuan Mountain. A huge network of relationships appeared in Wang Xuehao's mind, and the center was the majestic green mountain!
Wang Xuehao rubbed his temples, his head hurt from running around for days.
"Tell me what you think."
Xu Tiancheng looked at the research information in his hand, "People have died on this mountain, but they were all lawless elements. Can it be understood that they offended this mountain, so they were punished and lost their lives."
"And these people died in strange ways. So far, no murder weapon or murderer has been found."
Li Minghai and others are special. Although they are not bad people, they encountered this situation because they disturbed the tranquility of the mountain.
The same was true for the people of the archaeological team. That force would stop them. It only drove Professor Zhang and others away and made them retreat in the face of difficulties. No lives were lost.
As for the ordinary tourists, as well as people from the observatory and the folk-collecting program group, they have no purpose and will not stay too long.
Therefore, there won't be too many strange things that happen. They are not as mysterious as those of the archaeological team and Li Minghai. At most, they are small punishments and big warnings.
"To sum up, these people can be divided into three types of people. They have different purposes and encounter different levels of danger and strange things."
It seems that there is a ruler measuring everything.
Xu Tiancheng's words were well-founded and logical. Wang Xuehao's eyes were filled with admiration, "That's very good."
"Have you noticed that there are several words that are mentioned frequently in these people's stories?"
With that said, Wang Xuehao stood up, walked to the whiteboard beside him, picked up a brush and wrote down a few words, and read: "Mist, lost, animal, dream, bones!"
"There are five words in total that appear frequently. I counted them and found that each word appeared more than 20 times on average. Among them, the words that appeared most frequently were: fog and animals!"
"It can be seen that the fog in the mountains is very strange, and... the animals are also very strange!"
"But the most eye-catching thing among them is the word 'white bones'. Every time it appears, it will appear in a different form, which is horrifying."
If a person is said to be a coincidence, then it cannot be described as a coincidence if so many people mention it at the same time.
Fog, getting lost, and animals can still be explained by science, but as for dreams, the appearance of bones, and the strange things some people bump into in the mountains, these are not forces that can be created by humans at all.
It can be said that everything is full of suspense.
Even they themselves experienced a wave in the 749th game. Thinking of the thunder and lightning, the fire falling from the sky, and all the strange things that happened later, they still have lingering fears.
It seems to be a warning from some mysterious force, and it is also a deterrent.
"Indeed, but what is the connection between these words?"
"Animals in the mountains..."
"It's strange. What does this white bone refer to? It can't really be a white bone that turns into a spirit, right? That would be too much nonsense. I don't believe it."
Everyone discussed for a long time, but there was no result.
Xu Tiancheng joked: "Captain, why don't we go into Longyuan Mountain again to have a look?"
Yao Ruotong couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "How many lives can you make?"
Go ahead to dangers.
Although the people in Bureau 749 have their own ideas and principles of doing things, they do not accept death. The lessons learned from the past are right in front of them, so how can they go into the mountains again.
Even Wang Xuehao himself had a hunch that if they explored Longyuan Mountain again, immeasurable consequences would likely occur.
I encountered these weird and special cases in the past, and in the end the truth was investigated and it was either man-made or some kind of special phenomenon. Even if it was unexplainable, it was still within the scope of science.
Now there are various clues in front of us, all of which point to the fact that there is something strange about this mountain. It is definitely not man-made or the influence of special geology.
"Captain, what do you say about this case?"
"Regardless of whether the mountain gods mentioned by the villagers exist or not, this mountain is indeed a bit strange. Many people have died. Although they are all criminals, there are too many uncontrollable factors."
Ordinary people go into the mountains only to be injured or frightened, but no one can guarantee whether something will happen in the future. After all, no one can predict such things.
Wang Xuehao and others cannot bet on the safety of the people. He cannot bet on the one in 10,000 possibility, and he does not dare to bet.
Just like this time, even the agile ones were seriously injured. If it were ordinary people facing thunder, lightning and fire, there would be no way to resist it.
Moreover, the purpose of their 749 Bureau is to solve all difficult cases that occur in the country and uncover the truth.
Wang Xuehao's eyes fell not far away, with a bit of solemnity and dignity.
"We can only report it to the director first."
"I agree!"
"Then let your superiors make the decision!"
Wang Xuehao will directly report the compiled cases and files. As a third department independent of the military and government, the State Secret Bureau 749 has very wide authority. In case of emergency, it even has the right to directly mobilize troops to cooperate with the execution of tasks. The local government will Give it the green light.
As the leader of Bureau 749, the director naturally occupies a high position and has great power, and being able to face his problem cases is usually no small matter.
But Wang Xuehao still chose to report it directly, because the case they encountered this time was indeed too weird, and they were powerless and unqualified to make a decision.
The 749 Bureau system operates very quickly, but within an hour, the above reply came down.
There are only four short words, but it is a confidential document stamped with a red head:
【Comprehensive blockade! 】
There will be updates during the day!
