87_87408Seeing this, the middle-aged man patted Liu Wanyan on the shoulder and motioned for him to hand over the ghost he had caught.

Seeing this, Liu Wanyan untied the red rope, took down the heavy gourd on his body, and handed it to the middle-aged man.

As soon as the man got the gourd, he waved his hand, and the people behind him quickly came up, holding the things in their hands together, and began to recite this mantra, ready to attract ghosts.

Suddenly, as if last night, the sound of insects in the grass disappeared in an instant, and for a while, the wind was quiet, and in mid-air, two black and white figures faintly appeared.

The figure was different from the ghosts they usually saw, they were surrounded by an awe-inspiring momentum, the black figure was actually pitch black, and from a distance, they only knew where a black silhouette of the shadow was; The white figures, on the other hand, look more transparent, and can only see a rough outline, but the same thing is that they are all impossible to see what they look like.

I saw that the two figures seemed to have moved something in their hands, and they saw that the lid of the utensils in everyone's hands actually opened automatically, and the white smoke flew in front of them with a whining wail.

After a while, these white smoke turned into human nature, showing the original ghost form, and these ghosts had to wear chains around their necks, one by one, lined up one after another, and were pulled by two ghosts, and slowly disappeared into the air.

It was only after all the ghosts had completely disappeared that the group slowly lowered their hands and stopped chanting in their mouths.

Liu Wanyan and the three of them looked at the group of people dumbfounded, and sighed again: Sure enough, they are professionals!

After those people dealt with the matter, they packed up their things one by one, with a relaxed look, looking no different from ordinary people, completely losing the appearance of a master in the world just now.

The middle-aged man saw Liu Wanyan and the three of them staring at him and his companions, smiled slightly, and said to them: "Actually, we are also ordinary people, don't look at us so strict just now, in fact, we are the same as you, we all came over like this." ”

Immediately, he added: "Don't you know that in recent years, there have been fewer and fewer people doing this business, and there is a shortage of people in our office?" ”

Lack of people? When the three of them heard this, their eyes immediately lit up, as if they knew what the middle-aged man was going to say next.

The middle-aged man was also very happy, and directly handed the three of them a check for 200,000 yuan, saying, "Well, this is your honorarium." You don't know, although this line of work is tiring, but fortunately, the pay is still very high. “

When the three of them heard him say this, they nodded with deep sympathy.

Seeing that these three people probably knew what they meant, the middle-aged man said again: "Seeing that you caught eighteen evil ghosts on the first night, plus we have also seen your previous cases, your strength is very good." Everyone is a happy person, so I will get straight to the point and ask, would you like to join us and join the National Mystery Investigation Institute. ”

Join the National Institute of Mysteries?

When the three of them heard this, their hearts were overjoyed.

Seeing that the three of them didn't answer, the middle-aged man continued to lobby, "You know, our usual bounty is not low!" It still belongs to the specialized agencies of the state, and the benefits are only a little more."

"Of course, of course we do." Before the man could finish speaking, the three of them had already replied happily.

Join the Research Institute

The middle-aged man was very happy to see that the three of them agreed so quickly, and said that he would take them to the headquarters to have a look.

As soon as Liu Wanyan and the three of them heard that they were going to the headquarters, they readily agreed, this is the headquarters of the National Mystery Investigation Institute!

So, the three of them asked the middle-aged man to get into the car, followed the convoy driven by the people in front of them, and drove all the way to another road.

Along the way, the car of the three people drove at the end, looking at the convoy composed of BMW, Land Rover and other cars in front, the worst of which was Beijing Hyundai, they sighed again, the ghost catching industry is really very profitable!

It seems that he also has the potential to become a nouveau riche! The three of them thought happily in the car.

Along the way, Li Xianzheng sniffed the thick smell of blood on his body, rubbed the bruises on his body, and said in a complaining tone: "I said Liu Wanyan!" You were ruthless just now! ”

"Not being ruthless is not enough to drive away that ghost!" Liu Wanyan explained with a smile.

Cheng Buxing also came up and interjected, saying, "Is it difficult, you still want to keep him on your body?" But then again, this isn't the first time you've been possessed by a ghost, your physique, it looks quite big, how can you attract ghosts so easily? ”

This is true, Li Xianzheng is thinking, this is not the first time he has been possessed by a ghost, I don't know how, it may be that Liu Wanyan and Cheng Buxing have some skills since they were children, so every time a ghost is possessed, they are attached to themselves.

Thinking of this, Li Xianzheng still felt a faint pain in the part of his body that had just been hit by the copper coin sword, so he said angrily: "Liu Wanyan, you too, you know that you can drive it out with chicken blood, why do you want to hit me with the copper coin sword in one fell swoop." ”

"Hehe, didn't I think I could save it by listening to the nemesis? Who knew that this ghost was so difficult, and he couldn't come out after being beaten by the copper coin sword," Liu Wanyan scratched his head, a little embarrassed and said, "Besides, you haven't been a soldier!" The skin is rough and the meat is thick, hit it a few times, and it won't get in the way, haha! ”

Li Xianzheng heard him say this, so he had to roll his eyes and choke speechlessly.

Seeing the three of them talking and laughing in the car, for a while, the atmosphere in the car was a lot more active, and the fatigue accumulated from a night of ghost hunting was swept away.

The middle-aged man looked at them with great satisfaction, and said with an appreciative tone: "I see that your company only has three of you, the scale is very small, but the cooperation is very tacit, it's really good!" ”

When the three of them heard someone praise themselves so much, they were also very proud, but they still said modestly: "Where, where." ”

"Don't be modest, I look at you, especially you and the two of you," he said, the middle-aged man looked at Liu Wanyan and Cheng Buxing and said, "You two look like you have a foundation, you have been learning since childhood." ”

Liu Wanyan and Cheng Buxing glanced at each other, this man deserved to be a person from the past, and his eyes were good, so Liu Wanyan said frankly: "My father is a corpse chaser, I was picked up from the coffin by him, and I can see those things since I was a child, so I have been a few hands since I was a child." ”

"I was picked up by a Taoist priest and went up the mountain, and I also learned something and ate a mouthful." Cheng Buxing also roughly explained.

"No wonder, seeing that you have caught so many ghosts, although you are not prepared enough, you are not ambiguous in doing things." The middle-aged man said suddenly.

From the mouth of the middle-aged man, they learned that in fact, many of them were not like Liu Wanyan and them, who lived only by catching ghosts on weekdays. In fact, the members of the National Mystery Investigation Institute are all scattered in all corners of the world.

The daily roles of the members are also different. Some are policemen, some are forensic doctors, some are monks or Taoist priests in temples, some are even teachers or students who are studying, and of course, there are also some people like Liu Wanyan who run their own ghost hunting companies.

On weekdays, ghost hunters don't meet often, and only with a special bracelet can they know that the other party belongs to the same state organization as themselves, and only a task as troublesome as stopping the night walk of a hundred ghosts can bring all the members of a region together.

In fact, the headquarters of the investigation institute is in a neighboring city, not far from the city where Liu Wanyan and the others are located, that is, a few hours' drive.

So, they quickly drove to their destination.

The headquarters of the National Mysteries Investigation Institute is not like the offices of other countries, and the buildings are not as luxurious, but are located in a courtyard on the same street.

The three of them got out of the car and were led all the way in by a middle-aged man, and found that the outside of the courtyard looked boxy and not very big, but in fact there was a hole inside.

This courtyard because of the age, looks like some years, antique, there are still a few locust trees planted in the compound, the other side is also very elegant to keep a cluster of Xiaoxiang bamboo, a lush piece, faintly revealing a melodious ancient charm.

In fact, everything has a spirit, and what kind of plant in a room is also particular.

The locust tree is considered to represent Lu in feng shui, the ancient imperial court planted three acacia and nine thorns, the minister and the doctor sat under it, and the person facing the three acacia was the three dukes, so the locust tree was the highest grade among the trees, and the town house was authoritative. But it is also known as the ghost tree, and in addition to the insiders who understand the mysticism of feng shui, ordinary people are not very afraid to be in the courtyard.

Like many large families in ancient times, especially those with elderly people in the family, they especially liked the Tsubaki tree.

Because, Tsubaki in "Zhuangzi? Zeng Yun in "Getaway": "In ancient times, there were people who had a big chun, and they were eight thousand years old. Therefore, the Tsubaki tree is a sign of longevity, and later generations will use it as a synonym for their father, and it has the function of protecting the house and praying for longevity in feng shui.

And some families with a large population also like to plant begonias. Because, the begonia flowers are bright, so that the wealth is full, and the flower of the begonia symbolizes brotherly harmony and happiness.

The three of them followed the middle-aged man and found that every door, whether it was the main entrance of the lobby or the side door of the corridor, was still hung with ancient gossip mirrors.

Even the carvings on the eaves are not like the usual dragon and phoenix on the wall of the courtyard, but are carved with four sacred beasts, namely "East Canglong, West White Tiger, South Vermilion Bird, North Xuanwu," and some of them have Zhong Kui wall statues, which look awe-inspiring.

The middle-aged man also introduced to them that there is also a medium-sized conference room at the back of the courtyard, a library pavilion and a treasure pavilion, the conference room is not usually used, and the library pavilion and the treasure pavilion are displayed with a lot of books left over from ancient times and old ritual utensils, and there are even some relics left by the monks after Nirvana.

For the library pavilion, the three people are okay, compared to two of them from the craft of elementary school, but there are a lot of ancient books. Instead, it's the Treasure Pavilion, which is the headquarters of the National Investigation Institute! It is estimated that all the ghost babies in the country are here, even if you go in and take a look, it is also surprising.

Soon, Liu Wanyan and the three of them came to the reception room, and after the middle-aged man arranged for them to sit down, they went out.

After a while, he returned, led behind him by an old man with white hair.

Don't look at the old man, with white beards and white eyebrows, but his face is ruddy, and he walks like a fly. In every gesture, it faintly gives people a feeling of being a master outside the world.

Walking into the reception room, as soon as he sat down, the old man began to carefully examine the faces of Liu Wanyan and the others.

The wise eyes came back in a circle, and after a while, he introduced himself with a smile: "Hello, my name is Mu Qing, I am the person in charge here, and everyone calls me Master Mu." ”

Muqing? The old man in front of him is actually a ghost! A look of surprise flashed in Liu Wanyan and Cheng Buxing's eyes.

Mu Qing, they have only heard of it in the mouths of the corpse chaser father and the master, it is said that he is a legend in this industry, since he has been engaged in ghost hunting, he has never missed, not once, so that the evil ghost was terrified when he saw him, so the industry gave him a nickname, called "Ghost Sorrow"!

Not only that, but they also heard that Mu Qing is not only very good at catching ghosts, but also good at all kinds of occult gossip, whether it is divination, helping, or meditation is very powerful, he is almost unknown to everyone in this industry.

If they remember correctly, this Mu Qing's grade is older than their father and master, and he should be a hundred-year-old man.

But the old man in front of him, although his head is full of silver threads, his spirit looks better than that of young people, his face is ruddy, his eyes are clear, how can he look at it, he is at most seventy years old, where does he look like a centenarian?

Although they thought so, they still didn't dare to be ambiguous, and said very respectfully: "Master Mu, hello! We are from the "Li Wancheng" ghost hunting company, and we have just joined this investigation institute today. ”

Master Mu looked at them with respect and was very accustomed to it, so he waved his hand and said, "Don't be too restrained, I'm the same as you, I'm a ghost hunter, I'm already an old man in the past tense, and the current world is already the world of you young people." ”

"I've also seen your previous cases, and you've done a good job, a few of them are still soldiers who surrendered without a fight, and they solved the matter without using force, well done!" Mu Qing touched his white beard and spared no effort to praise.

Mu Qingbian said, and took out three strings of red ropes with various styles from his coat pocket, handed them over, and said, "Well, it's all my own people, bring the tokens in our house." ”

The three of them were being praised by the idol and were dizzy, and when they saw it, there were still tokens in the investigation office, so they brought it happily without thinking about it.

Mu Qing saw that the three young people took the token so simply, and reminded him loudly, "This red rope is compiled by the old Taoist priest in our institute, using the good craftsmanship of the ancients, and also put a spell on the top, a red rope is divided into two, half is in your hands, half is tied to the top of the bell, and is hung on the wall of life and death in the institute." ”

"Whether it's blisters and fire knives, don't be afraid, as long as people don't die, the red rope is there, when you encounter a difficult thing that you can't get over, when you're dying, the bell at this end will ring, and as soon as we divinate your specific location, we will try to send people over to support you, and ah, this rope is a lifetime, and you can't take it off until you die."

When the three of them heard this, they looked down at their wrists, and saw that the red rope was very close to the wrists, as if there was no connection, and the rope was as thick as the wrists, not loose or tight, just right together.

"What about the mission? How do we pick it up? Liu Wanyan asked.

Seeing them ask about the task, Mu Qing explained: "From today onwards, your company is equivalent to a subsidiary under the investigation institute, and you can take on your own tasks as usual on weekdays?" ”

"What about the house?"

"When there is a task in the office, you will be notified in advance, and you must rush to complete it immediately, of course, there is also a generous remuneration for the task given by the office, and if you need to cooperate to complete the task, your honorarium will also be distributed according to the head of the person."

This is not bad, and as soon as the three of them heard about this arrangement, they quickly agreed.

Aunt is here

In this way, Liu Wanyan, Cheng Kexing and Li Xianzheng joined this state-affiliated organization with their own small companies.

The three of them were also very proud of this, and all of a sudden, their tails were happily cocked into the sky.

Oh, my master's current identity can be regarded as a civil servant in the country!

Since Liu Wanyan and the three of them joined the National Mystery Investigation Institute, it is really a good shade to lean against the big tree, and the fame of the "Li Wancheng" ghost hunting company has soared, and there is an endless stream of people who come to them to hunt ghosts for a while.

But there are only three people in the company, even if they have three heads and six arms, they can't take so many orders, but they are afraid of offending people, so they have to push all the tasks on hand in the name of rest, saying that they want to recuperate for a while.

Anyway, there are still 200,000 yuan in the previous order, which is enough for them to squander for a while.

On this day, the three of them were gathering in Li Xianzheng to drink beer and fart, and were chatting and knocking, when a brightly dressed woman came to the door.

"This, is this the home of a person named Li Xianzheng?" The woman held a black umbrella in one hand and did not knock on the door, but when she saw that the door was open, she went straight into the house and asked.

"I'm Li Xianzheng, what's the matter with me?" Li Xianzheng stood up and said.

After looking at Li Xianzheng carefully, he saw that the woman suddenly cried "wow", which startled the three people on the other side.

I saw the woman touching her tears and crying: "Xianzheng, I'm your Aunt Chunhua!" Bite? Do you remember me? ”

"Aunt Chun (Village) Flower" Hearing this name, Liu Wanyan and Cheng Buxing almost squirted out a mouthful of wine, almost laughing, this name is good!

Li Xianzheng frowned, he didn't think of his relative for a long time, since he escaped death and was identified as having mental problems by the outside world, the people around him didn't have time to hide from him, where did he dare to take care of himself.

Seeing that Li Xianzheng didn't speak, the woman also cried to herself, "You really don't remember Aunt Chunhua?" When you were a child, I hugged you a few times, your family lived in Xiatun in xx village, and then when you were older, you went to be a soldier, am I right? ”

Li Xianzheng was still stunned and didn't react, this woman was really right. But if I really want to talk about it, I still have relatives who are all over the place, so I don't know who the holy person in front of me is, but I still beckoned her to sit down.

When the woman saw Li Xianzheng beckoning her to sit down, she thought that he still had an impression of herself, so she cried again: "I want to come to see you when you hear your news, and my aunt has seen you a few times when I was a child, but the family is busy, and my aunt really can't leave." ”

"Then what are you looking for me?" Li Xianzheng saw that she was crying all the time, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to ask.

When the woman heard this, she wiped her tears, looked at Li Xianzheng, and said, "Auntie, I heard that you became the boss in the city and opened a ghost hunting company, didn't you?" ”

Hearing her say this, Li Xianzheng felt a little embarrassed, this company is not his alone, how can he be embarrassed to say that he is still the boss!

But this was not wrong, Li Xianzheng ignored her, and asked: "Then you are looking for me, is there anything wrong?" ”

"Xianzheng, you have been able to make a difference all these years, you don't know, my aunt is bitter!" Then she said, "The woman wiped away her tears."

"What's wrong?"

"You don't know! My aunt's family doesn't know if it's bad feng shui, five children died in a row, originally in the countryside, they all said that children are wild and easy to feed, but I don't know why, I gave birth to seven in a row, five in a row, none of them lived for a month, they were all born less than a month, and they died for no reason. ”

"Later, I went to the temple and begged for 9 months in a row, and finally got two talismans, barely survived, a son and a daughter, but one was paralyzed, and the other was stupid, what kind of evil did this create!" As soon as the woman thought of what she was asking for, she couldn't stop patting her thighs and crying.

Feng Shui is bad? Even if the feng shui is not good, this will not be so miserable! The three men looked at each other.

This was rare, and it made all three of them frown.

After the woman finished crying, she wiped her tears and said with a bitter face: "No, I heard that you have a ghost hunting company, and you have great skills, so I thought that you would help take a look and see what was wrong with feng shui at home." ”

Big skills? Li Xianzheng smiled bitterly and thought, it's true that I have great ability, but it's not me who has great ability, it's my two brothers!

"Maybe it's not a feng shui problem?" Liu Wanyan said quietly.

Yes! What if it's not a feng shui problem? The three of them made eye contact: Perhaps, we should go and see.

First, I can't bear to cry anymore, and I can't bear to cry anymore, and I am a relative, and everyone is asking for it, and it is not easy to refuse: second, this kind of thing is really rare, but it aroused the curiosity of Liu Wanyan and Cheng Buxing.

So, the three of them discussed, and then promised the woman to go home with her to see, if it is really a feng shui problem, if it can help, try to help, although they are not very proficient in feng shui, but as a ghost hunter, these things are more or less understood.

Even if it doesn't work, you should go to the countryside to breathe fresh air and take a vacation.

After preparing for the preparation, the three of them came to Wangjiaao Xiatun under the guidance of the women.

When I arrived at Wangjiaao, it was already a little dark, and I could still find the way faintly by relying on the headlights of the car.

However, because the road was too narrow, and the village was built halfway up the mountain, they had to park at the foot of the mountain and walk up.

People who have never lived in the countryside will not have this feeling, some villages because of the remote location, the road is very difficult to repair, even if there is a road, it is the kind of potholed mud road, if it is sunny day, it is flat to walk, if it is rainy, the road is mud mixed with slurry water, a step down is a pit, muddy water splashing, dirty.

The countryside is not like the city, there are street lights at night, and the general countryside is more than when you can't see your fingers, some roads can be vaguely seen by the light from the house, and some roads can only be explored by yourself.

Fortunately, Liu Wanyan and the three of them have also grown up in the mountains since they were children, although they are now working in the city, but even with their consciousness, they can walk safely at night.

As soon as I walked to the entrance of the village, there was already a group of people waiting there, as if they were here to greet Liu Wanyan and the others.

In fact, these were the woman's neighbors and relatives, and they had heard more or less about the strange things in their family, and at first, everyone thought that the family was in trouble, and advised them to go to the hospital to have a look. Who knew that they took their families to major hospitals in various places and ran countless times and checked countless times, but they didn't find any problems.

Even the paralyzed boy and the stupid girl are sudden diseases, and most hospitals say that there is a problem with some of the nerves, but they can't say why.

So, everyone began to talk about it, some said that they had done something bad and suffered retribution, some said that it was a fateful disaster, in short, it was more and more evil, and even some had a long tongue that their house was built on someone else's grave to attract disaster.

But this family doesn't believe it, their ancestors have lived here for hundreds of years, and the previous generations are not still full of children and grandchildren. No one in the family has ever been seriously ill.

When you think about it, you are speechless.

Sometimes, when people encounter things that they don't know or can't explain, they like to put their trust in the gods.

Therefore, the family can only guess that something is wrong at home, and there is a problem with Feng Shui.

Seeing the woman leading three people up, at this time, a man in the crowd with a pale face and eyes swollen like peaches due to long tears greeted him.

"This is Xianzheng!" The man probably knew Li Xianzheng, so he greeted him when he greeted him.

Li Xianzheng looked up, he knew this man, he didn't go to the army to serve as a soldier, this man often came to his village to drink.

At that time, Li Xianzheng was still a half-old guy, and he learned from his aunts that this man's surname was Wang, and he was from Wangjiaao, and he couldn't remember what it was called, but at that time, everyone called him Wang Dezi.

If you want to say that this Wang Dezi is a well-known delicious and stingy man in ten miles and eight villages. It's not that others are bad, Wang Dezi is diligent, and he serves the land at home every day more than his own mother, and the soil in the field is called a fertile, so the food planted is not only more, but also very full.

Wang Dezi is industrious, but there are two bad points, one is greedy, and the other is stingy.

I heard the old people in the village mention that Wang Dezi has two brothers, he has been the second oldest in the family since he was a child, and he can't get up or down in the grade, he doesn't want to be valued like the boss, but also loved like the younger brother, and belongs to the kind that is ignored by his parents.

After a long time, he couldn't change it. Although he grew up and became a family, he didn't have to worry about food and clothing for a long time with his hard work, but he still habitually had delicious food, and he went in when he smelled it, like a hunting dog.

And he is also stingy, and the clothes on his body are all worn and patched when he was young, so many times, everyone sees him wearing the kind of clothes that are red and green, and various patches are connected.

It is said that his family eats vegetables and puts oil according to the number of drops, which is still a habit that his daughter-in-law has only after many protests, at first his dishes do not put oil at all, they are all fried, put on the oil jar to smoke, and then take it to the table to eat.

Infantile spirits

In Li Xianzheng's memory, Wang Dezi has always been a round-faced man with a ruddy complexion and a slightly fat body, and he even remembers that Wang Dezi often came to the village to eat wine at that time, and every time he ate until his stomach rolled, he hiccuped, and walked home on the dusk night road with the rest of the wine and food in one hand
