The strangest story Lao Liu told me was about a mirror.
Legend has it that the medical school was built on a cemetery. Many corpses and remains were unearthed, but when they dug into one of the graves, something went wrong.
What was unearthed were tens of thousands of skeletons; it turned out to be a mass grave, a mass grave.
It is said that the scene was so terrifying that several workers said it was bad luck and quit that day. The remaining workers also had thoughts of quitting, but the site foreman took it upon himself to give each of them an extra hundred yuan to keep them working.
Then, strange things started happening.
The next day, the man who was supposed to operate the excavator died. He was cut in half at the waist, and the ends of his body were serrated, just like the serrations on his excavator.
Everyone panicked and rumors spread that the excavator operator had shoveled the remains in two, and the remains were angry and came to take revenge.
The foreman panicked and quickly reported the situation to his superiors.
The people in charge didn't believe in superstition and insisted that someone had violated regulations by operating an excavator and killed someone, blaming the dead person. They had already called the police to handle the matter, and the police came that same day and classified the incident as a revenge killing.
Everyone thought that was possible; that person was a scoundrel, and a revenge killing was a possibility.
However, on the third day, another person died. This time it was the foreman. His death was very strange. His limbs were broken and bent into the shape of a large windmill. Some people recognized that it was a swastika.
That character was too eerie. The people on the construction site were all hard laborers, and very few of them had such cultural knowledge. For them to come up with such a character, there must be something supernatural about it!
This time, the construction company finally took it seriously, quickly gave the workers a holiday, and sealed off the construction site.
That evening, Taoist priests from the most famous local temple, Zixia Temple, came to perform a ritual. One of the older priests, carrying a peach wood sword and talismans, stirred up a gust of wind to exorcise demons. That day, the entire construction site was swept by strong winds, with sand and dust rising more than ten meters high.
The exorcism lasted all night, and when dawn broke, everyone saw that a wall had appeared out of nowhere in the construction site.
The old Taoist priest of Zixia Temple said that the remains in the mass grave were innocent people who were killed by a tyrant and had been suppressed here. The ghosts had finally managed to build a road to the underworld, but it was dug up by an excavator. The ghosts lost all hope of being reborn and were determined to kill everyone.
The old Taoist priest pointed to the white wall again, saying that it was a road leading to the underworld that he had promised the ghosts. The ghosts used this wall to travel between the living world and the underworld, and no one was allowed to touch it. If the white wall was demolished, the school could not be built.
The builder readily agreed and built a house around the white wall, after which the medical school was successfully built.
A few years later, the school's new leadership, not believing in superstition, ordered the houses around the white wall to be demolished. Some were demolished during the day, and when they demolished them overnight, they saw some people with missing hands and feet walking side by side on the white wall.
Among the people being relocated was a woman with a small mirror in her bag. Suddenly, she felt her bag become very heavy, and then she saw a severed hand emerge from her bag. Terrified, she threw the bag to the ground, causing the mirror to fall out. She then saw people with severed hands and feet walking out of the mirror one after another...
