1. No. 37 Linjiazhai, Shanghai
When I was a child, there was an old criminal policeman living next door. Due to personal life style problems when he was young, he retired early in the early 1980s. He told me some According to him, the matter could not be found in the files of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, and he did not know whether it was true or false. However, after asking some elderly people of that era, some things turned out to be true. The old detective told me that there was a case that was very strange and lasted for many years. The whole thing begins with the murder of a family on Wuning Road in 1956.
In 1956, Wuning Road was still farmland, some farmhouses along the street, and some factory warehouses. The old detective said that it was sparsely populated at that time, and there were basically few people moving at night. At that time, it had just belonged to Putuo. District, the district government had just moved to Puxiong Road not long ago. As a police officer who had just graduated from the police academy, he was assigned to the criminal police. There was a small residential area not far from the Public Security Bureau. Of course at that time, the residential area was Just villages with thatched houses. One night while he was on duty, the phone rang in the middle of the night.
The phone started with gasping sounds, and then there was a male-female voice saying that he had killed someone and was here to surrender. The voice was very strange, and there was a lot of noise in the phone. There were very few private telephones in that era, and they were usually in factories or public telephones, but public telephones were basically unavailable at this time. At that time, the criminal police asked where the person on the phone was, and he said he was in a residential area three streets away from the Public Security Bureau. The criminal police officer felt that the situation was serious and immediately reported the situation to the director on duty and also notified the local police station. So all the criminal police officers in the bureau who could be mobilized immediately were dispatched. The road was very bumpy at that time, so they went there on a three-wheeled motorcycle.
When we arrived at the residential area, it was pitch dark and no sound could be heard. An old detective asked the detective who answered the phone which house he belonged to. The detective said it was No. 37 Lin Family Home. Using a flashlight, I found No. 37 and saw that it was a local house with brick walls. Pushing open the wooden door outside, there was a small yard. The detective recalled that as soon as he entered the yard, he saw small whirlwinds rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground. The atmosphere was very strange. The detective loudly asked if anyone was cutting wood inside the house. But no one answered, and there were no lights on inside the house. When I pushed the door open, I found that the wooden door was blocked from the inside. At this time, the police from the police station also came. As usual, they learned about the situation. The original owner of this house fled to Taiwan before liberation. The current owner of the house is a man named Ye who was transferred from Hebei to Shanghai to work. There are four people in the family. The wife named Ye is a lame and they have two children, one boy and one girl. . At this time, the old detective said he was looking for something to hold the door open. The little detective said it would be better to knock on the glass window and get in. The old detective said to pay attention to safety. So they knocked on the glass window, and the little detective jumped in. The little detective was the one who answered the phone and later relayed the incident. He had a flashlight with him, but he didn't turn it on when he first jumped into the house.
After entering, I found that my feet were wet, the room smelled of blood, and it was very dark. The little detective was very scared. The old detective came in, but when he landed, he didn't stand firm and slipped on the ground. The old detective also felt that something was wrong on the ground, so he stood up and turned on the flashlight and saw that he was covered in blood. The young detective was even more confused, so the two of them groped for it. I turned on the light switch and was stunned when I turned on the light. This living room is about four square meters in size, with only a dining table and a stroller. The ground is covered with dark red liquid, which has reached to the bare feet. The little detective asked what these were. The old detective was relatively calm and whispered that it was human blood. The young detective asked in a trembling voice how could there be so much blood.
After the wooden door was opened, the comrades from the police station went back to make phone calls and continue reporting to the Municipal Criminal Investigation Corps, leaving the old detective, the junior detective, and two policemen to investigate the scene. The young detective later recalled that the situation was very strange. They searched high and low in the two-story building but found no one, but who did the blood on the ground belong to and where was the owner? According to the medical examiner, the blood belonged to at least six people. But there are only four people in this family. Neighbors said that the woman took her two children back to her parents' house a few months ago, and the man has not been seen for several days. So who was the person who reported the crime in the middle of the night?
About a month after the incident, one day the police at the police station received a report from someone from the neighborhood committee, saying that several children were playing around and discovered that the door of No. 37 Linjiazhai was open after class. Everyone knows that such places are usually sealed.
Moreover, the male owner of the house was confirmed to be missing after investigation. The investigation team also visited the home of the hostess, but they all said that she never came back, so unless the owner came back or a thief got in. Neighbors also know that strange things happen there, so they won't go in. The task force sent a small criminal police officer and comrades from the local police station to check.

Neighbors also know that strange things happen there, so they won't go in. The task force sent a criminal police officer and comrades from the local police station to check.
When the young detective later recalled that after the lights went out and the people outside broke in, he felt a red shadow flashing past his eyes, and the missing detective also screamed. Later, When the person came in and illuminated with a flashlight, he only saw the detective in front of him and he was lying in the living room. At that time, criminal investigation experts from the branch and the city, as well as experts from the East China Military Division and the Ministry of Public Security, all came here secretly to conduct investigations, but there was nothing strange about the whole house, not even any secret passages or walls, so Secret agents are ruled out. So who was the one who reported the crime? At that time, the technology was not as advanced as it is now, so it was impossible to verify where the call came from. The missing detective was later reported to have died in the line of duty, but the case was kept as an unsolved case. Because it was too strange, the parties involved were transferred from the awakening team. In the following years, only the junior detective remained in the criminal team, and the other one After that incident, the old detective was not mentally stable and retired early. The bureau leaders demanded that the outside world be strictly prohibited from telling what happened that night. Linjiazhai No. 37 has been uninhabited since then, and no one even approaches it during the day. But it's not over yet.
In the winter of 1958, the masses reported a counterrevolutionary element. This man's surname was Xu, and he was usually a cobbler. After verification, it was found that Xu Cobbler was a Yiguandao member. The so-called Yiguandao was a reactionary feudal Taoist organization. Although it was a reactionary organization politically, it had a large market in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so it was very harmful. At that time, Yiguandao members in Shanghai were still relatively rare. It is said that Yiguandao was similar to the Five Pecks of Rice Dao in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and there were many people with thaumaturgy among them. They could use talismans to cure diseases. Of course, in those days when the Four Old Ages were being eradicated, few people believed their nonsense. The name of the male owner of Linjiazhai No. 37 appeared in the list of Yiguandao Shanghai organization personnel named Xu, which attracted attention at the time. Two years later, the incident at Linjiazhai No. 37 surfaced again.
The surname Xu also revealed an important clue that one month after the incident at Linjiazhai No. 37, Xu Cobbler had met the owner of No. 37. The air in the interrogation room was unusually heavy that night. Those who participated in the interrogation continued asking questions from midnight to noon the next day. When they came out, they were very angry and said that this die-hard counterrevolutionary was talking nonsense.
The young detective did not participate in the interrogation at the time, but he reviewed the transcripts many years later. The interrogator asked, "Where did you see Ye Xianguo (the male owner of No. 37) and how did you know each other?" Xu Cobbler said: I have known Ye Xianguo since I was a child. It was the 13th year of the Republic of China. The interrogator said it was nonsense. How could you have known each other since he was born in 1933? Xu Tanjiang swore that he saw Ye Xianguo in his hometown of Funiu Mountain in Henan Province in November 1956. The interrogator asked again. , what did he tell you, and what is his status among you? Xu Cobbler said that Protector Ye had already quit the Yiguandao organization. I just said hello, but he is not old at all and is more mature than when I met him. He was young, but there was a mole on his face, so I knew it was him at a glance.
That's all the description left by Xu Tanjiang. That Ye Xianguo turned out to be a protector-level figure. So when did Ye Xianguo become a protector? Whether what Cobbler Xu said was true was cast into doubts after Cobbler Xu died suddenly in the detention center a month later.
Cobbler Xu’s sudden death was also very strange. At that time, the three people in the same room said in unison that Xu Tanjiang said a lot of inexplicable words to the wall that night, as if he was arguing, and then seemed to be begging someone. They all thought that Xu Tanjiang had gone crazy, but when he woke up the next day, they found Cobbler Xu was still sitting facing the wall, but he had expired. There were no injuries on his body. The strangest thing was that Cobbler Xu's face was unusually rosy. The detention center later conducted a forensic examination and found no signs of poisoning. Later, a strange line of writing was found on the wall facing the cobbler, but it disappeared after a while. According to the inmate in the room, it was not clear what was written on the thing that looked like a line of talismans. The incident on the 37th marked the end.
A strange incident and a strange death, there is no conclusion at all. The task force reviewed all the files of Ye Xianguo and found that Ye Xianguo’s father was also named Ye Xianguo, but this. There is no death record for old Ye Xianguo, so did Xu Cobbler know Ye Xianguo's father? According to Xu Cobbler's description, he should have been almost 40 years old when he met Ye Xianguo. By 1956, old Ye Xianguo should have been an old man in his 70s. , and it was definitely impossible to be Ye Xianguo, who was in his 30s, so the task force decided to make a last-ditch effort. On the one hand, it secretly wanted Ye Xianguo in Shanghai, and on the other hand, it sent a special team to Funiu Mountain, the hometown of Xu Cobbler. Collect evidence.
Funiu Mountain is the place where Li Zicheng haunted. It is said that there is a dragon spirit. Before liberation, bandits were also infested. It is said that there are many caves left by thieves in Funiu Mountain. Yiguandao was also very rampant in the Funiu Mountain area at that time. , there are also relics such as the altar set up by Guandao in the mountain. After liberation, with the strengthening of the people's democratic dictatorship and the repeated annihilations of the People's Liberation Army, Funiu Mountain returned to a rare peace. Xu Pijiang's village is located in a place called Funiu Mountain. In Xujiakou, there are only about 10 households in this village, so the scope of the investigation is not large.
The young detective also participated in this evidence collection. Many people who came to Xujiatun no longer knew that Xu Tanjiang existed, because there was no one in Xu Tanjiang's family.
But the elders in the village said that Xu Tanjiang's ancestors originally moved here from Bazhou, Hebei, and they were said to be from a wealthy family. Later, Xu Tanjiang's grandfather became obsessed with Taoism and suddenly moved to this small village in Funiu Mountain to settle. The investigation team asked some questions about Ye Xianguo. An old man said that he remembered this person, but at that time, it was said that Ye Xianguo was Mr. Feng Shui and Xu Tanjiang's grandfather, an old acquaintance or a fellow villager. Ye Xianguo's ancestral home is indeed Bazhou, Hebei. Before leaving, the old man said that you should go to Xu Cobbler's house to have a look. Cobbler Xu's home is located on a small hill. Since it has been uninhabited for many years, it can be seen from a distance that it is one of the more ornate buildings in this small village. From a distance, it looks like a fortress. When the task force entered Xu's home, most of the houses were in ruins. , an attentive lesbian suddenly saw some strange symbols carved on the well circle in the distance. The task force had no religious experts, so they filmed it and made conclusions after returning to Shanghai. The task force had a phone call with Shanghai and decided to go to Bazhou, Hebei. Let’s take a look at the relationship between Ye Xianguo and the Xu family.
The task force came to Bazhou, Hebei. According to the information in the archives, the task force found that Ye Xianguo’s father was indeed named Ye Xianguo, but Ye Xianguo’s grandfather was also named Ye Xianguo, and the Ye family was not a wealthy family, but In the past dynasties, temple blessings were held at a place called the Jade Emperor Temple. Other information in the file is some records in the Ye family genealogy, but there is not much description of Ye Xianguo, and no connection between Yiguandao and the Ye family was found. The young detective said that she helped look up the information together at the time, so it was okay to have nothing to do. I took a second look at some of the archival accounts that others had not noticed. It turns out that Ye Xianguo's ancestors came to Bazhou in the late Ming Dynasty and inherited the position of Miaozhu of the Jade Emperor Temple. In the Ming Dynasty, the position of Miaozhu of the Jade Emperor Temple also had the title of Congsipin. The founder of the Jade Emperor Temple is said to be a disciple of Liu Zhiming, a Taoist cultivator in the north. But this Liu Zhiming was a very famous figure in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that he had obtained three volumes of the Nine Heavens Magical Method. According to this magical method, people could become immortals and have the ability to call the wind and rain. There are records in the local chronicles that the ancestors of Ye Xianguo prayed for rain in Bazhou and got rain. Of course, the young detective only regarded these accounts as folklore. The task force's investigation in Bazhou did not yield great results. Instead, it cast a layer of mystery over Ye Xianguo's life experience. At this time, the Shanghai Command Center received a call. It was said that someone had recently seen Guo Yexianguo near Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi Province, and it was said that some strange things had happened recently at No. 37 Linjiazhai in Shanghai. So the task force divided into two groups, went to Longhu Mountain in Jiangxi Province, and returned to Shanghai to continue tracking the progress of Linjiazhai No. 37.
The young criminal policeman rushed back to Shanghai with the team, only to learn that a new workers' village was being built near Lin's house at that time. When the workers were demolishing No. 37 Lin's house, they unearthed a large tank 3 meters underground. Inside turned out to be the missing Ye Xianguo's wife and two children. After a lapse of two years, the Municipal Criminal Team finally classified the Linjiazhai No. 37 incident as a major criminal case. It seemed that Ye Xianguo was fully convicted of killing his wife and exterminating the family, so they issued a Class A wanted order nationwide. The young detective went to the scene of the incident again and saw that No. 37 Lin Family Residence had been razed to the ground, and the place where the large vat was excavated turned out to be the location of the original living room. However, many mysteries of No. 37 Lin Family Residence remained unsolved. Where did the detective go? How did all the strange phenomena in the house come about? These can only be solved one by one after Ye Xianguo is arrested and brought to justice.
Two weeks later, the Jiangxi team, with the cooperation of the Jiangxi Public Security Department, successfully captured Ye Xianguo near a dilapidated Taoist temple site in Longhu Mountain, Jiangxi and transported him back to Shanghai. Due to the special nature of Ye Xianguo's case, he was locked up in a special single cell in Tilanqiao. He was interrogated by interrogation experts sent by the Ministry of Public Security. However, Lao Chen from the forensic identification team told the young detective about a problem discovered during the autopsy of Ye Xianguo's wife and children. During the autopsy, he found that Ye Xianguo's wife and children had no signs of corruption. He said at the time that they were just like living people, but there were no signs of life. It's not like he's been dead for more than two years. The corpse will be sent to the crematorium after Ye Xianguo's trial is completed. Problems arose during the interrogation after Ye Xianguo was escorted back to Shanghai. Ye Xianguo seemed to be suffering from some kind of mental illness and did not speak at all. When asked what he was asking, he just stared at the ceiling with dull eyes. Moreover, he had not eaten since returning to Shanghai. Didn't even drink water. A month later, the task force and experts from the Ministry of Public Security had no clue. After all, this case has been going on for almost three years. Ye Xianguo has been subjected to three different levels of mental evaluation. During an X-ray, everyone present was almost scared to death because Ye Xianguo had no brain tissue.
A person without brain tissue is not a human being at all. What on earth is Ye Xianguo?
I asked him if this was the end of the case. The detective said what happened next was a secret. But I’m basically the only one who knows. That was the last time he took Ye Xianguo to the identification site. It was one night in April 1959. He remembered that the next day was the Qingming Festival, and they returned to the old site of No. 37 Linjiazhai. The sea breeze was strong that night, and it was even a bit blinding. , when we arrived at No. 37, which was already in ruins. Suddenly Ye Xianguo burst out laughing, that kind of laughter was very weird. At that time, everyone who entered the old site suddenly found that there was a layer of fog around them. The armed police soldiers who were responsible for guarding the surroundings also found that they could not clearly see the criminal police, Ye Xianguo and others in the ruins of No. 37. The young detective said that he was also on the outskirts that night. When he saw this situation, he wanted to walk into the fog to see what was going on. When he walked in, he found that there were actually some golden lights floating in the fog, and there were a lot of them. He told me Those are the charms, and you can't get close to them. After the fog cleared, Ye Xianguo disappeared. All three detectives who entered were already unconscious. Later, according to the unconscious detectives' memories, they saw the fog rising and held Ye Xianguo at bay. Then they saw a horrifying sight. The demolished No. 37 unexpectedly appeared again. They were still in the living room, and the children's laughter came from the second floor. At that time, they saw Ye Xianguo disappear into the wall as if he was floating away. At that time, They immediately shot into the wall, but a huge force appeared from the wall and knocked them out instantly. The detective said no one would believe these oral statements. Therefore, Ye Xianguo was finally defined as a murder case. According to official files, Ye Xianguo killed his entire family and then committed suicide. So who is Ye Xianguo? The old detective said that he has a good friend who likes reading ancient books very much. He asked this friend at that time, and the friend said that this Ye Xianguo could not be one of those people who cultivated Taoism and became immortals in ancient times. Maybe Ye Xianguo is not 40 at all. He is a man who has lived for a long time. His wife and children should have become immortals with him, which explains why the body does not rot. The three volumes of Nine Heavens Secret Law obtained by Liu Zhiming may have been passed on to Ye Xianguo. As for those fantastic phenomena, it is entirely possible that they are deception in Taoism. At least Ye Xianguo is a mage who is good at using talismans. Ye Xianguo disappeared, maybe he entered another space. No. 37 Linjiazhai was later converted into the so-called Workers' New Village with 20,000 houses, but the story did not end there.
2. Yan'an Road Elevated Dragon Pillar
The junction of Yan'an Road Elevated and the North-South Elevated in Shanghai. Elevated Yan'an Road Elevated Intersection of Yan'an East Road and Huangpi South Road. There is a sculpture of a dragon on Huangpi Road. It is said that eminent monks were invited to see it. There are many versions circulating, some say that it has dragon veins, and some say that it is an evil ghost. It is said that when the Yan'an Road Elevated Highway was built, the piling could not be driven down no matter how hard it was, Chinese and foreigners. Later, I called an expert to see it and said that it was because the dragon's veins were affected, so it couldn't be beaten. I asked them to carve the image of a dragon on the pillar to press it, but as soon as they hit it, they drove it in directly. So now there are dragon reliefs on the elevated pillars in the Yan'an Road Greenbelt, but it seems that we have never seen anything like this on other elevated elevated roads in Shanghai. The driver told me about the elevated dragon pillar. He said that when the pile was being driven, an old monk was invited to recite sutras for many days, but the old monk passed away in less than half a month. The legend of the Shanghai Dragon Pillar: There is a thick pillar at the intersection of the Shanghai North-South Elevated Highway and the Yan'an Elevated Highway, with several dragons carved on it. It is said that there is a legend. I have listened to many versions, and what I am talking about now is based on my collection of a lot of information. At the intersection of the Shanghai North-South Elevated Highway and the Yan'an Elevated Highway, there is a very thick pillar with a copper sculpture of a coiled dragon carved on it. This is the Dragon Pillar of Shanghai. It is called one of the most mysterious events in Shanghai along with several other incidents. When the North-South Viaduct of the Yan'an Elevated was being built, this pillar was where piles had to be driven. The piles were driven many times, but the piles could not be driven down until they were several meters deep, and some of them were broken due to the accumulation of sand and soil in Shanghai. The soil was very soft. We had hardly encountered such a situation before. The project was stalled. The municipal government and the engineering unit invited several experts to come and see it. After seeing it, the experts could do nothing and refused to explain the situation. It is estimated that they know the reason, but they are unwilling to take action. Finally, the eminent monk in charge of Longhua Temple in Shanghai was invited. After seeing this, the eminent monk knew that if he could solve this incident, he would have perfected his merits and passed away to heaven.
Before the practice, he called his disciples and gave them a final sermon (the old lady next door to my house is a lay disciple of this eminent monk, and I heard about the last sermon from her. There are several theories circulating outside. Roughly the same, but without the sermon). Then the eminent monk went to perform rituals. When performing rituals, the construction site was surrounded by construction cloth, and no movement could be heard from the outside. (During that period, I also passed by the construction site, and I didn’t know that rituals were being performed inside. At that time, I was still talking to A few friends scolded the street, saying that they were occupying the latrine and did not poop, making it difficult to walk on the road...) There are rumors that the ritual lasts for three days, and some say it lasts seven days. What I know is that it should be seven days. Once the ritual is over, With the roar of the pile driver, Zhuang drove smoothly, driving seven large piles in a row. Now the thick pier that Ala saw actually contained seven piles instead of one. After driving, there was a pile underneath. The black gas came up and surrounded the seven pillars. Perhaps due to policy, the government promoted the elimination of superstition, so later the pillars with black gas inside were wrapped with decorative materials, and copper reliefs were carved on the outside. Coiling dragon. At that time, Gao Shen said that this place is the dragon vein of Shanghai. Shanghai is a place that can be the capital of a country, so there will be dragons underneath. The intersection of the north and south Yan'an Elevated Highway is the center of Shanghai, where the dragon head is. The eminent monk performed seven days of rituals. Let the dragon ascend to heaven. At that time, this matter was kept very secret, and almost no one knew about it. Later, the eminent monk passed away about half a year later. The Temple of the Emerald Buddha printed a special booklet for pilgrims to commemorate the eminent monk’s life achievements. My grandma also had to go to offer incense twice every month. She also had this booklet, which contains: It records the Longzhu ceremony. If I remember correctly, that eminent monk should be called Master Zhenzen.
