This is an incredibly weird story.

The story originates from an anecdote about the Yellow River.

Many people of my age who live by the Yellow River will hear a lot of anecdotes about the Yellow River from the old people. Most of us experience the power, change and mystery of this mother river through these stories, which makes us

Awe of the Yellow River was planted in ignorance.

But this anecdote is different from other storytelling legends.

The first time I heard this anecdote was in the summer of thirteen years ago. The storyteller was my deceased grandma. After listening to it, I asked her if the story was true or not. She smiled and said something to me.

It's a pity that I didn't remember this sentence.

It happened in a drought year before liberation.

There is an inconspicuous small village in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. There is no land or special products in the village. The whole village makes a living by selling yellow sand from the Yellow River.

Most of the people in the village have been engaged in this kind of work for several generations. Workers dig up the yellow sand and mud from the bottom of the Yellow River with sand buckets and then filter out the finer sand and sell it to other places. On the one hand, they can make money;

Dredging the Yellow River reduces the risk of the Yellow River bursting its banks during flood season.

Like the Yan Gang Carbon Gang, the village that resold yellow sand formed its own interest group when it reached a certain scale. At that time, the village that resold yellow sand was called a yellow sand factory.

There is a period of time every year that is the dry season of the Yellow River. Sections of the Yellow River dry up and the river bottom is exposed in many places. This is the best time to dig sand. It is also the busiest time for the yellow sand factory.

All rivers that have stopped flowing will form such a phenomenon. The bottom of a large river is not flat. After the river stops flowing, the water level of the river drops and many small lakes and ponds are formed. In fact, at this time, the river has not completely stopped flowing, and the water flow is still under the sand layer.

It penetrates downstream but the small lake above is still.

The river section that the Yellow Sand Factory is responsible for is such a situation. The Yellow River channel is very wide. After the water is cut off, a large cut-off lake will appear in the middle of the river. This lake has not dried up for thousands of years and the water can be maintained until the next Yellow River flood season.

It is said that a Feng Shui master once said that this lake is the eye of the Yellow River, so the locals call this lake the "Eye of the Yellow River".

The "Eye of the Yellow River" has never dried up for thousands of years. No matter how dry the weather is and how severe the upstream interruption is, the "Eye of the Yellow River" has always been as clear as a mirror. Therefore, this yellow sand factory has never been short of water since ancient times. The old people say that there is water at the bottom of the lake.

Because of the dragon, the water will never dry up. People in the village have never had the habit of storing water.

However, one summer, a strange child in a green cotton-padded jacket suddenly came to the village and shouted everywhere that the Yellow River Eye was drying up and that everyone should save water. At that time, no one believed it. He just thought it was strange that he had never seen this child before and did not know whose family he belonged to.

.

Later, the child disappeared and everyone thought that they might take it back to an adult and the matter would be settled. No one was relieved.

After a few months, many people heard a loud "pop" sound coming from the direction of the Eye of the Yellow River on a sunny day. They ran and saw that the Eye of the Yellow River, which had always been very clear, turned out to be turbid. At that time, an old man said it was bad.

The dragon in the Yellow River's eyes flew away.

Sure enough, when the Yellow River stopped flowing the next year, the eye of the Yellow River, which had never dried up for thousands of years, gradually bottomed out.

The people in the village were very scared and didn't know what they had done wrong. They hired a few Feng Shui masters to figure it out, but the Feng Shui masters couldn't figure it out. They watched as the Yellow River gradually turned into a piece of dry land.

The "eye of the Yellow River" has never reached the bottom of the river. No one has ever seen it. So in the days when the eye of the Yellow River was about to bottom out, the old people were in panic and burned incense on the bank of the eye of the Yellow River to pay homage in the hope that the dragon would come back. But more young people came.

Watch the excitement and see if there are really traces of dragons living on the bottom of the river.

Naturally there would not be any dragons under the eye of the Yellow River, but what is strange is that after the water dried up, a stone platform half as tall as a man and half buried in the sand appeared in the mud at the bottom of the river.

Shitai is about the size of a basketball court. A brave man ran down to the bottom of the river and saw that it was made of unknown materials. There seemed to be no gaps. It was like a whole body, and it was carved with strange patterns similar to birds.

The most peculiar thing is that this stone appears translucent like suet in the sun. Through this transparency, they can see a black shadow inside. Touching the stone platform is warm, but touching the place where the shadow shines through

It was bitingly cold, as if the black shadow could absorb the heat.

People who live in the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River know that the Yellow River often unearths legends about things happening in various places. During the Republic of China, I heard that a crystal coffin was unearthed in Henan and Gansu, with dead people inside. It was very strange, but it was very strange to find it.

No one has ever heard of such a large translucent stone platform.

The local old people are superstitious and say that this thing is a dragon coffin. The black shadow inside the stone platform is the body of a dead dragon. However, the shadow is too blurry and it is impossible to tell what it is. Many people say that it seems to be a person, and some people say that the shadow is not a person but an animal.

Big fish.

In those years of social turmoil, strange things happened everywhere. As soon as the village stewards couldn't spread the news, they found a few brave people to bury the stone platform with mud. But the strange thing is that the stone platform was not buried at all.

Unfortunately, the river sand that was turned up today disappeared the next day and the stone platform still looked like it was half buried.

The most bizarre thing is that a few sharp-eyed people discovered that the shadow in the stone platform was changing every day. At first it seemed to be an oval, and then it started to look like arms and legs.

In the past, when this kind of thing happened, the village would always look for a Feng Shui master. But at that time, the village was very poor. The Feng Shui masters offered very high prices. Most of the rest were swindlers. I couldn't find anyone for a while, so I found the oldest old man in the village.

This old man was over ninety years old. I heard that he had been a Nancrazi (grave robber) and had some skills in Feng Shui. Someone carried the old man to the edge of the stone platform.

The old man was as skinny as a skeleton. All the people of his generation and the next generation were dead. The old man hardly moved and sat in front of the house all day long, living as if he was waiting for death, so no one knew his origins.

I heard that the old man's eyes were not good because he was exposed to corpse gas when he robbed tombs in the past, so he couldn't open his eyes most of the time.

But as soon as he was brought to the edge of the stone platform, everyone saw that the old man's eyes suddenly opened wide and before anyone else could say anything, he had already sat up straight, as if he had a premonition of something.

The village chief said: "Old man, you are well-informed. Please tell me what's going on. Is this a blessing or a curse?"

The old man nodded and was helped to get off the ground. However, the first thing he looked at was not the stone platform but the surrounding mountains.

After looking around, his expression became very strange and he said to himself: "How could this be?" Then he looked at the stone platform, but as soon as he took a look, he immediately moved his eyes away and shouted.

Dazzling.

At that time, many people were present and looked at the stone platform. No one felt that any light came out from the stone platform. Only the old man said it was dazzling and used his hands to block his eyes. The others made him chill.

The village chief asked someone to get a pair of round sunglasses for the old man to wear so that he could open his eyes. While he looked around the stone platform, he kept covering his eyes with his hands, as if the light was still very strong.

After reading it, his expression became even weirder and he said again: "Why is it here?"

The village chief asked what on earth was this?

The old man waved his hand to tell him not to ask. He shivered and took out a strange abacus from his arms. His abacus was square, but his abacus was round. After doing this for a few times, his expression darkened. He turned around and suddenly looked at the village.

He said a long sentence.

He said: "Put me on this stone platform."

Several people felt strange, but seeing the old man's frighteningly white expression, no one dared to ask, so they asked a few young men to lift the old man to the stone platform.

After the old man got on the stone platform, he sat there cross-legged and stopped talking, as if he was resting his mind with his eyes closed.

I sat here for nearly a day. A group of people gathered around and waited, watching and waiting. Some people became impatient, and some people went back one after another. The sky gradually became dark, and in the evening, almost all the people watching were gone.

The village chief didn't know how long he was going to sit when he saw this. He left a few workers here and watched him go back first. At that time, the warlords were fighting. Today, this village is under your control. Tomorrow, this village will be under his control, so he became the village chief.

He was very busy. When he got home, he was busy until very late and did not go to Huangsha Factory again.

Unexpectedly, before dawn the next day, the few workers who stayed there ran to the village chief's house and woke him up. When the village chief asked what they were doing, some of the workers said, "The old man is gone!"

After asking specifically, I found out that the old man had been sitting on the stone platform motionless after everyone left, and the young men were gambling and drinking beside it. Then it became dark and there were no lights in the Yellow River. They saw nothing and leaned against the yellow river.

Sha fell asleep and woke up. It was already dawn. They got up and saw that the stone platform was empty and there was no trace of the old man anywhere.

When the village chief heard this, he immediately ran back to Huangheyan with a few people. When he saw that the old man was gone, he thought he had gone home. He sent people to look for him and couldn't find him. At this time, the sharp-eyed people screamed.

He stood up: "Inside!"

When everyone saw it, it turned out that a skinny black shadow appeared inside the translucent stone platform! The two shadows hugged each other and it was weird!

The villagers were so frightened that they did not dare to approach the stone platform again.

Later, a nearby warlord found out about this and sent a team of troops to dig out the stone platform. Unexpectedly, after digging a few times, water suddenly began to pour out from under the stone platform. The water came out quickly and was cold. The onlookers rushed to escape.

After escaping to the shore of the Yellow River Eye, the water quickly gushed out and filled the entire Eye of the Yellow River. The stone platform and the black shadow inside were hidden in the depths of the Broken Water Lake.

That night, many people in the village dreamed that the old man was making gestures to them, as if to say sixty-one, sixty-one. But at that time, no one knew what sixty-one meant. Everyone only knew that the old man would never be seen again from then on.

It appeared in the village and seemed to have actually run into the stone platform.

The stone platform must be a whole without even a gap. How did the old man get in? What is the other shadow in the stone platform? What is the stone platform used for? Why does it appear at the bottom of the Yellow River? No one can say

Come up.
