Revealing the mystery of corpses in Chongqing’s ghost cave. Is it really the hiding place of the White Lotus Sect?

Speaking of Chongqing, this is the most famous mountain city in our country. The surrounding address structure is one layer after another of mountains. In a mountainous area like this, there will definitely be many large and small caves. As early as before technology was developed, people started digging in the mountains to reclaim land, but it was inevitable that some caves would be dug out. situation. The ghost cave in Chongqing was discovered under such circumstances. After the ghost cave was dug, the local villagers didn't pay much attention at first, thinking it was another wild cave. But after inspection, I found that this cave was not simple, because it was all filled with bones. I thought this cave was very eerie, so the name of the ghost cave came about. So what kind of secrets does this ghost cave hold?

This so-called ghost cave was discovered by local villagers in 1960. After the cave was discovered, the villagers originally thought of looking for some bat droppings in the cave to use as fertilizer. However, they never expected that the cave would be filled with corpses, which was extremely terrifying. At that time, the villagers sealed the cave to prevent children from accidentally entering the cave. However, no one knew the secret of the bones in the cave.

This matter was delayed for more than forty years. After more than forty years, someone finally opened the ghost cave that had been sealed for many years. The news spread quickly. After hearing the news and legend, local archaeologists in Chongqing immediately organized a group of expedition teams to come here to conduct exploration in order to unravel the mystery about ghosts. The secret of the cave. After arriving at the scene, I found that the entrance to the ghost cave was very hidden and only about 1 meter high. Moreover, bamboos grow around the entrance of the cave, which plays a very good role in protecting the entrance of the cave. Entering the entrance of the cave is a different scene. The space inside the cave is very spacious, but it is also very narrow in some places, and it is like a maze. The ground inside the cave is full of horrific corpses.

According to local elders and investigators, the bones in this cave were left in the early Qing Dynasty. It is very likely that this was a secret base of the White Lotus Sect here. In that era, there must have been a lot of bandits in places with many mountains. At that time, Chongqing, a mountain city, must have had a lot of bandits. Usually hidden in the mountains, it is difficult to find traces of it.

In order to escape the pursuit of the Qing army, the White Lotus Sect fled to the mountains of Sichuan. Therefore, they took root in the mountains of Chongqing and stayed hidden in the valleys all year round. At that time, the Qing Dynasty army did not dare to enter the cave rashly after discovering it, so they started burning a fire at the entrance of the cave, creating a lot of thick smoke, and then choked all the White Lotus believers in the cave to death. middle. And this is very likely the origin of the many corpses in the ghost cave. Since the Qing troops withdrew, villagers have still been able to faintly hear the screams of ghosts inside whenever they look at the entrance of the cave.

According to the memories of archaeologists who were exploring inside, the cave was very large. They explored the cave for more than an hour, and they could see scattered bones everywhere while walking. Moreover, there will be bats flying around on the cave cliff from time to time, which makes people feel very scared. For fear of accidents at the time, for safety reasons, all the workers were evacuated midway. On the second day, the archaeologists came to the cave again. They walked inside for more than 3 hours but still did not reach the end. In the end, they had to choose to exit due to lack of climbing tools. In addition to the corpses scattered everywhere in this cave, no relics of the deceased were found, not even clothes. Based on on-site research, they found some very old footprints, and suspected that someone might have entered the cave and taken away all the treasures and things from the bones.

Now Chongqing Ghost Cave has been developed into a tourist attraction, because most of the caves are stalactites, which have ornamental value, and these mysterious skeletons add to this place. A more mysterious color. This cave is like a maze, with forks everywhere. If you are interested, you can go to Chongqing to experience it.
