Fushan: the Mystery of the Dragon-Suppressing Talisman

When geological engineer Jiang Wuchen was reviewing data on the Fushan volcano relics, he discovered that the GPS coordinates moved slightly every day, as if the mountain was "breathing." Curiosity drove him to conduct an in-depth investigation and found a demon-suppressing talisman of the Tang and Song Dynasties drawn with high-purity cinnabar in the secret place of Jinguyan. At the same time, he read in the ancient book "The Fragments of Fushan Chronicles" that Zhang Tongzhi, a high-ranking official in the Song Dynasty, lived in seclusion in this mountain and used "the blood of unbelievers" to suffocate the dragon. As the investigation deepened, Jiang Wuchen used high-precision equipment to confirm that Fushan fluctuates regularly with the Yangtze River tides, and that there is a huge connected water system beneath it. A drilling incident accidentally revealed an underground cavity containing what appears to be the spine of a giant creature. In the secret room left by Zhang Tongzhi, Jiang Wuchen found a silk book recording the method of suppressing the dragon. As a staunch atheist, he fell into the ultimate contradiction: all scientific data pointed to unexplainable phenomena, but the method of "Blood Talisman to Suppress Dragons" recorded in ancient books was actually related to the stability of the mountain. In the end, Jiang Wuchen did not choose to crush the mystery with a geological hammer, nor did he completely embrace the mystery. With a rational attitude that was almost experimental, he completed the runes on the cave wall according to ancient methods, temporarily stabilizing the data anomaly. He archived all his findings—scientific data, copies of ancient books, and mineral samples—and left a report titled "Preliminary Investigation and List of Unanswered Questions on the Coupling of Special Geological Structures and Historical and Humanistic Records in the Fushan Area." The truth may be related to ancient creatures, special geology, or another reality recognized by the ancients. He chose to leave it to future generations with more advanced technology and more open minds.
