The Mystic Nine (2016) Chapter 1

A notebook full of bizarre stories passed down through generations. The notes have long since been dilapidated, and the stories in them have long since been unrecognizable. But whether it is a story or a real legend, the information revealed by the notes is enough to make people memorable.

In 1903, the Japanese Otani Guangrui entered the hinterland of China on the grounds of a religious investigation to conduct intelligence work on geographic exploration. While passing through Changsha, China, one of the expedition branches followed the Japanese businessman Hatoyama Michi, and stayed in a mountain town north of Changsha for about three months. An entire expedition entered, but only six returned. A week later, Hatoyama Michi submitted a report to the Japanese Nissin Institute of Trade to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The report mentioned what was buried under this mountain town, known as the Hatoyama Report in history.

One night in 1933, a mysterious train pulled into Changsha Station, awakening the sleeping watchman in the duty room. The night watchman Gu Qingfeng was curious and stepped forward to check the train that suddenly entered the station. Gu Qingfeng wiped open the dusty car window, and the corpse hanging inside scared him half to death.

The next day, a high-ranking officer known as “Buddha” led a team to investigate. While checking the condition of the train, Lord Buddha and his subordinates asked Gu Qingfeng about the situation. They learned that the train arrived suddenly in the middle of the night, there was no traffic record, and the body was rusted, as if it had come out of a scrap iron station, plus there were dead people hanging inside, and the body was welded to death by iron sheets. There are signs that this train is anything but ordinary. The Buddha arranged for his subordinates to cut open the carriage with a gas cutting bottle and personally go inside to find out.

The Buddha Zhang Qishan and his subordinates entered the carriage and found that there were many corpses with strange appearances inside, all of them face down. Seeing this situation, Lord Buddha ordered his subordinates to call the Eighth Lord. The eighth master, Qi Tiezui, seems to be as timid as a mouse, but he is proficient at odd jobs. The eighth master was half pushed by the Buddha and entered the train together to find out what happened. Qi Tiezui entered the train with Zhang Qishan, saw the dead bodies and their placement, and inadvertently found a document with the contents of the experiment. Based on various signs, Zhang Qishan deduced that the train and the corpses inside were used for burial, and the owner of the tomb was probably in the last carriage.

Zhang Qishan and the eighth master Qi Tiezui asked the army to take back all the coffins in the carriage to open the coffins. After several burial coffins were opened, the dead bodies inside were no different from other bodies in the train. Just as Qi Tiezui was wondering how the train pulled into the station without a living person, Zhang Qishan suggested that these people must have inhaled stiff air beforehand and were dying when they entered the station.

The biggest coffin must be opened to reveal the truth. The largest coffin is a whistle coffin, which can be opened by extraordinary people. The coffin is sealed with molten iron, leaving only one hole. Forcibly opening it will only lead to poisonous gas. It must be opened from the inside by inserting one hand into the hole. Now to open this whistle coffin, only Zhang family’s ability.

The Buddha asked his own soldiers from Zhang’s family to help open the coffin, but the soldier who opened the coffin became flustered when he reached out and called for help. With this call, the companion who was assisting on the side could only trigger a life-saving mechanism with a broken arm, and the soldier broke his arm but found nothing. Lord Buddha calmly stepped forward and reached out to open the coffin in person. The coffin was successfully opened, and there was no mechanism inside, only a face-down corpse. The Buddha reached out and rummaged in the coffin, and found a ring that seemed to be from the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Among the nine gates of Changsha, the one who knows the Southern and Northern Dynasties the most is the second master’s family. At the suggestion of Qi Tiezui, Zhang Qishan decided to bring this ring to visit the second master.

In a luxuriously decorated pear orchard in Changsha, a graceful figure is singing Farewell My Concubine on the stage. A stinky guest interrupted the second master who was singing and made a rude remark to the second master. When the scene was in chaos, Lord Buddha came with a team of people to relieve the siege of the second master and taught the guest who was covered in copper smell.

The Buddha and the second master seem to be quite friendly, and the second master also expresses his gratitude to the Buddha for his help. But when Lord Buddha took out the ring of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the second Lord showed embarrassment, saying that he had not touched those underground things for many years and refused to help Lord Zhang. The Buddha didn’t force it either, he put the ring on the table and let the second master think about it himself.
