"Ah Chang! Why are you telling these legends so late at night?"
""Do you think it's fun to scare people? I can't say enough about you!"
"Sisters, help me look for it. It should be right there! It's only 500 yuan!"
Ah Jing was a little angry, complained a few words, and asked others to help find it.
"I'm not trying to scare you!"
Ah Chang immediately jumped out to stop him and said, "If you don't believe me, ask Sister Yun! She is also from Luanchuan! She must know that we can't pick up money at night in the mountains!"
"Oh! You should say something, Sister Yun!"
When asked, Sister Yun looked a little unnatural and said, "There is a legend circulating here about this kind of money-making at night, but I don't believe it at all."
It’s still raining outside. Why don’t I talk about it? We can’t go out now anyway. We outsiders really don’t understand.
Sister Yun shook her head: "I can't say this, let A Chang do it."
Late at night, we lit a fire in the temple, sat around, and Chang told the stories she knew.
It is said to be a true story, and the Luanchuan Museum still has physical evidence. If you are interested, you can go and see it in person.
Next, Ah Chang sat next to the fire and preached: "When I was very young, my grandma once said that if you see copper coins or logs in the mountains, don't reach out to pick them up. They are ghost princes."
The men left them there intentionally, and whoever picks them up means joining them and killing people."
After hearing this, Ah Jing's face suddenly turned extremely ugly!
Because she was the only one who touched the copper coin just now, and Brother Yu almost touched it.
Ah Chang added: "It is said that hundreds of years ago, after Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself on Meishan Mountain, he ran out with more than a dozen people, but was soon caught by King Chuang Li Zicheng."
"Later Wu Sangui sent Qing troops into Shanhaiguan. Li Zicheng lost the battle and retreated to Shaanxi. The Qing troops received the news in advance and cut off their retreat, so Li Zicheng led his people south to withdraw from Hubei."
"As they retreated to Jingzi Pass, Prince Zhu Cihong and his people suddenly ran away and took six large boxes of gold, silver and jewelry with them. I don't know where they went."
Hearing this, I threw a piece of firewood into the fire, frowned and asked, "So you said that the deposed prince took people and treasure and hid in your Luanchuan River?"
"Isn't this right? What I know is that after Shunzhi ascended the throne, he told the outside world that he had killed the Ming Taizi. This was mentioned in the Qing History at the beginning."
Ah Chang said loudly: "That's not right! How could the former prince be killed at will? He was usually under house arrest. He would only lie about killing the prince when he couldn't be found!"
What she said actually made sense, so I motioned for her to continue.
Ah Chang first looked up at the roof of the ruined temple, then lowered his head and continued: "After the deposed prince arrived in our Luanchuan, he was afraid of being chased by the Qing army, so he hid in a mine on the mountain. At that time, he hid in the Lion's Pit Gold Mine.
The large mines have been mined since the Qing Dynasty."
"At that time, there were two main ministers around him, named Wang Chongru and Jia Shangheng. Do you know these two high officials?"
Everyone looked at each other and said they didn't know. I had never heard of the names of these two high-ranking officials in the Ming Dynasty.
Ah Chang was a little proud: "I don't blame you for not knowing. Most people don't know that these two ministers were actually the chief eunuchs of the imperial palace at that time! One was Wang Cheng'en and the other was Jia Shanghuai. After they came to us, they changed their names.
Called Wang Chongru and Jia Shangheng!"
When I heard the name Wang Chongru, I suddenly felt a little familiar.
It seemed that I had heard something before, but suddenly couldn't remember it, so I didn't say anything and continued to listen to her.
"Later, Prince Ming wanted to find an opportunity to restore his country. Eunuch Wang and Eunuch Jia secretly helped and established a small court at the Chaotian Palace Taoist Temple on the bank of the Yi River. Prince Cixi claimed to be a Crown Taoist, but they soon discovered
, If you ask for people but no one comes, if you ask for money and you don’t have enough money, you won’t be able to become the current trend at all.”
"In this way, a few years later, the deposed prince couldn't bear this hopeless life, so he followed his father's example, went up to Luan Mountain, found a crooked-neck tree, and hanged himself."
Ah Chang put his fingers against his eyelids, pulled them down, stuck out his long tongue and said, "Did you see? After the prince was hanged, he was like me, with his eyes wide open and his tongue sticking out."
She scared the other girls so much that they leaned together.
The duck man was trembling and wanted to hug Brother Yu's arm, but he was kicked away by Brother Yu.
The firewood crackled.
After putting away his grimace, Ah Chang turned on the flashlight again, pointed it at his chin, and said coldly: "From that day on, terrible things happened."
"At that time, many local people knew the identity of the prince and heard that he had brought six large boxes of gold and silver treasures from the palace, so some villagers organized an organization to dig out the buried prince, open the coffin, and try to find it.
Those valuable things.”
"That's it!"
"The great eunuch Jia Shangheng rushed out to stop him! But he was hit on the head with a hoe by the money-grubbing villager. He died on the spot! He died next to the coffin! Blood and white brains flowed all over the floor!"
"After killing Eunuch Jia, the villagers did not find the rumored six boxes of treasure, so they thought Wang Chongru had hidden it. They became aggressive and went to find Wang Chongru."
"Guess what happened next?"
"Wang Chongru committed suicide that night! And before committing suicide, he scattered hundreds of kilograms of copper coins around! When the villagers arrived, because it was too dark to see clearly, they searched randomly for the leather coins scattered on the ground. This is night money.
The origin of.”
"Half a month later, those who had touched the leather money hanged themselves one after another. No one was left, and they all hanged themselves."
Ah Chang's voice became smaller and he whispered: "My grandma told me that at that time, several children cried and said they saw it. When they saw those people hanging, there were two dead eunuchs wearing ragged eunuch uniforms, their faces were pale and their eyes were bleeding.
, grabbing the legs of the hanged person one on the left and one on the right to prevent them from struggling, and finally hung them alive..."
"Crack!"
Maybe a mouse ran by and took something down, which frightened the timid ones and made them scream.
"Ah Chang, stop talking! I won't listen!" The girl named Wanqing seemed a little timid and immediately blocked her ears.
I look sullen on the outside, but actually I want to laugh on the inside.
These folk and local ghost stories sound weird and scary, but I, Xiang Yunfeng, are not afraid at all. I have never been afraid of them.
Maybe the deposed prince did come here back then, but the stories that followed must have been mostly rumors.
but....
Then I thought about it, and I learned a piece of news from these legends, that is, the "Prince's Tomb", could it be hidden somewhere in the mountains?
Wang Yuanjie's great-grandfather, grandfather, and father are all tomb robbers. Why did he stay here as a miner? Did he also want to take the opportunity to rob the prince's tomb?
