The first of the four major feng shui mysteries in China: the Northern Peak Goddess showed her spirit, and the black wind swept away forty workers

The case we are discussing today is the first of the four major feng shui mysteries in China. It occurred in Beijing in the new century and is tied to the construction of Olympic venues. There are locations, times, witnesses, and strange details that the authorities cannot fully verify. It is not an outdated folk rumor, but a terrifying and shocking event witnessed and experienced by countless people over twenty years ago - the supernatural event at the Beiding Niangniang Temple. This temple is dedicated to Bixia Yuanjun, who has protected the capital for hundreds of years. However, if anyone dares to touch its foundation, the resentment that seeps out of history can make even steel and cement tremble.

Going back to 2004, the construction of Beijing Olympic venues was in full swing. As soon as the plans for the Bird's Nest and Water Cube were released, the entire Wali Township became a major construction site. On the planned site of the Water Cube, there stands an old temple called the Beiding Niangniang Temple. This temple is not an unnamed dilapidated house. It was built by imperial decree during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty and is one of the "Five Top Eight Temples" in old Beijing. The incense has been passed down for hundreds of years, and nearby old neighbors know that the location of this temple is eerie and difficult to move. It is said to control the water and dragon veins in the north of the capital, but moving it would cut off the spiritual energy of the capital.

The progress of the project does not wait for anyone. The project manager confidently promises that everything is superstitious and that the old temple must be demolished before the new venue can be completed on time. On the day when the construction team entered the site, all the old people nearby stopped at the gate of the temple and cried, saying, "The empress appears to be going to have an accident", but the construction team could not hear it. They rushed up with shovel and excavator. No one expected that the first wave of strange things would come faster than expected, even more sinister.

The demolition team first thought of cutting down the centuries old locust tree in the backyard of the temple, saying it was a hindrance. The young worker approached with a new chainsaw, and with a loud "swoosh", it hit the trunk of the tree. The sparks exploded and the good saw blade "snapped" into two pieces. I changed one and tried again, but it was still the same. I broke three saw blades in a row, and the little worker's hands were numb. He stood there with his legs and stomach twisting. The project manager was so angry that he cursed and grabbed an axe before chopping it down from the tree. With a loud bang, the axe seemed to be hitting a piece of iron, and the blade rolled up. The shock made his arms numb and he couldn't recover for a long time.

At this moment, the originally clear sky suddenly turned cloudy, and a cold little whirlwind "whooshed" around the old locust tree, causing pain from sand and stones hitting the face. The wind was not strong, but it exuded an indescribable strangeness that made people hair all over their bodies. In just over ten seconds, the wind stopped and the sky lit up again, just like someone else who had nothing to do. But no one on the construction site dares to say anything about cutting down trees anymore. They all bow their heads and dare not even breathe.

This is just an appetizer, and strange things will continue to happen on the construction site in the next few days. The excavator was digging the foundation, and the bucket suddenly froze when it was in good condition. The engine stalled out of nowhere. After checking, there were no problems, but it just couldn't start; The truck pulling soil had just left the construction site not far away when its tire suddenly burst with a loud bang, almost turning into a ditch. After replacing the tire with a new one, it exploded again within a few hundred meters of walking; Several young workers who were dismantling the mountain gate suddenly felt dizzy and nauseous while working, collapsed to the ground with convulsions, and were sent to the hospital for examination. All indicators were normal, and the doctor could not explain why, only stating that it was "unexplained discomfort".

The workers privately spread rumors that the goddess had shown her spirit and was unhappy. If they were to dismantle it again, it would cost lives. The people were in a panic, and the work was impossible to do. The project manager also started to feel uneasy, but the pressure from above was tight. He could only grit his teeth and decided to demolish the main hall overnight, and it was all over. But he never expected that this night would become a nightmare for the entire construction site.

That night, two security guards were left on the construction site to watch the night. In the early morning, the two were smoking in the duty room when suddenly they heard a commotion coming from the direction of the main hall. It's not the wind, nor the sound of stealing things, but the sound of playing and singing, and the laughter of women, which is exactly the same as when the temple fair was held in the past. But in the middle of the night, the water and electricity in the temple had been cut off, and there was no one. Where did the sound come from?

The two security guards mustered up their courage, grabbed flashlights, and walked towards the main hall. The closer they got, the clearer the sound of the play became, and they could even smell a faint, indescribable fragrance that made people dizzy and dizzy. They pried open the palace door and looked inside. It was pitch black and they couldn't see anything, but the sound sounded like it was ringing in their ears, sometimes close and sometimes far, as if it had come out from underground. Suddenly, the flashlight flickered and extinguished. The two of them were terrified and turned around to run towards the duty room. They didn't dare to close their eyes all night, and by dawn, their faces were as white as paper.

After listening to the security guard's words, the project manager's heart skipped a beat. He pretended to be calm and personally went around the main hall. The sound of drama and literature has disappeared, but the strange fragrance still lingers, drifting lightly in the air. He looked up at the statue of the goddess on the altar, covered in dust, but right in front of the statue, there was a small area that was much cleaner than the rest, as if someone had just wiped it. At this moment, the hardness in his heart completely collapsed. He dared not dismantle anymore and quickly reported the strange things on the construction site. He didn't dare to say it was too mysterious, only that the workers were panicked and unable to carry out the construction.

But the strange thing was still escalating. A few days later, the construction team was preparing to demolish the temple gate. As soon as the two wooden doors were removed, it was as dark as midnight in an instant. Dark clouds covered the sky, and the temperature dropped sharply. A black wind column rose from the open space in front of the temple, seven or eight meters high and three or four meters in diameter, like a black dragon, sweeping around the iron fence, steel bars and cement blocks on the construction site. The work shed was uprooted, the scaffolding collapsed with a loud bang, and the screams of the workers, the sound of the wind, and the sound of things breaking mixed together, making the entire construction site a living hell.

A worker later recalled that when he was swept up by a strong wind, he saw a figure in a red robe floating out of the temple gate, with a graceful figure but cold eyes like ice. He stood there, watching the chaos below, motionless. What's even more sinister is that the wind lasted for more than twenty minutes, destroying all the temporary buildings on the construction site and injuring over forty workers. However, the Beiding Niangniang Temple itself had not lost a single tile, intact and undamaged, like an invisible barrier protecting it.

After the storm, the workers dared not approach the temple any further. Someone sneaked back to the construction site and found a large hole in the foundation pit. Dozens of white snakes were holding their heads high, spitting letters, and tangled tightly together, staring at the person. They were so scared that he ran out in a hurry. The elderly people nearby said that it was the protection of the empress, who came to guard the temple. If she dared to break ground again, the White Snake would be killed.

This quickly alarmed the authorities, and there were even rumors that Bureau 749, which specializes in handling supernatural events, had intervened in the investigation. Experts came to investigate. Fifteen meters in front of the temple, they dug out a gold-plated copper square tripod with eight characters engraved on its belly: "Imperial Building of Mount Taishan Temple Town on the north top". At first sight, it was something of the Ming Dynasty. Experts asked for the copper tripod to be backfilled on the spot, saying that it was a treasure of the temple. If it was moved, it would lead to disaster. What's even more strange is that for the next three nights, the main hall of the Niangniang Temple, which was cut off from water and electricity, was brightly lit every night. The security guard on duty could see the flickering candlelight through the window sill, but as soon as he pushed the door in, the candlelight instantly went out, and the hall was pitch black with nothing inside.

Finally, the authorities made a surprising decision: to modify the planning of the Olympic venues, the Bird's Nest was shifted one hundred meters north, and the Water Cube was also relocated to make room for the North Peak Goddess Temple. Not only was it not demolished, but funds were also allocated for repairs, allowing this centuries old temple to stand side by side with modern Olympic venues. Later, some people said that this was because the higher ups recognized that this temple controlled the dragon veins of the capital and could not be dismantled; Some people also say that it was that strange storm and a series of strange events that made everyone awe and dare not move anymore.

You should know that the Beiding Niangniang Temple, which can become the first of the four major feng shui wonders in China, is not just an empty name. The other three incidents are either the shocking site selection of ancient emperors, the feng shui battles in modern commercial districts, or the strange changes in urban construction. However, this one is the direct collision between modern engineering and century old temples, a strange phenomenon witnessed by countless people, and a mystery that science cannot fully explain.

Nowadays, whenever the lights of the Olympic venues light up, the eaves of the Beiding Niangniang Temple stand quietly in the night, and the copper bells in the corners of the temple sound in the wind, as if telling the story of that terrifying past. The old neighbors nearby still go to the temple to offer incense, and no one dares to mention the demolition of the temple anymore. Some people say that the Bixia Yuanjun in that temple has never left. It protects the temple and also safeguards the safety of the capital city; Some people also say that those strange things are a warning left by our ancestors, to respect tradition and nature, so as not to bring disaster.

At this point, do you feel cold all over? Did you instinctively touch something around you? Think about it, if you were a worker on the construction site back then, watching black wind columns sweep in with your own eyes, seeing groups of white snakes with your own eyes, and hearing the sound of drama in the late night, what would your reaction be? Think about it again, do you have such old buildings around you? Has anyone ever warned you not to move?

At this moment, why don't you look up at the night outside the window and see if there is a blurry figure in red standing in the dark staring at you? Is there a faint fragrance coming through the crack in the door? You should know that some things, even after decades or centuries, still have their resentment and spiritual energy there, never dissipating... Do you dare to look back and take another look?
