Chapter 61: "Shadow"

The development of the situation was beyond Zhou Kui's expectations, he originally thought that the Heavenly Master's Mansion would take measures against Qinglan, but the Heavenly Master announced in public in the council room: "Let's not investigate Qinglan's identity for the time being, but let her live in the Taoist Temple for a long time." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qingyang Daoist and several other masters immediately fried the pot, Lingyin Master pointed at Qinglan and said bluntly: "Master, don't do it!" This woman's origin is unknown, if she is a cultist, I am afraid that she will cause trouble in the future! ”

Qingyang Daoist stood aside and echoed quite approvingly: "Qinglan has a very large amount of spiritual power in her body, so I don't think it's safe for her to stay in the Heavenly Master's Mansion." ”

The Old Heavenly Master sat in the middle of the council hall, he raised his hand and stroked his gray beard, and replied calmly: "Don't say much, you don't have to say much, the old decay has its own measure!" ”

At this point, everyone can't say anything, after all, this is the decision of the head, although they are not convinced, but they can only accept it.

After the meeting ended, the Heavenly Master separated the others, leaving Zhou Kui and Qinglan alone.

"Master, do you have anything to do?" Zhou Kui asked with some confusion.

The Old Heavenly Master was still sitting upright, he picked up the cup on the coffee table and took a sip gently, then looked up at Zhou Kui and said, "I let Qinglan stay in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, it doesn't mean that I have recognized her. ”

Zhou Kui nodded, and replied as expected: "I knew it wouldn't be so easy, master, so what should we do?" ”

The old heavenly master put down the teacup, suddenly clapped his hands in the direction of the gate, and said in a loud voice, "Yunfei, come in!" ”

As the door of the council hall was slowly pushed open, a burly young Taoist priest walked into the hall, staring sharply at Zhou Kui and Qinglan.

"Apprentice, meet the master!"

The young Taoist priest respectfully saluted the master, and his movements were very reverent.

Zhou Kui asked puzzled: "Master, who is he?" ”

Without waiting for the old Heavenly Master to speak, the young Taoist priest introduced himself: "You are Senior Brother Zhou Kui who just came to the Heavenly Master's Mansion, right?" My name is Feng Yunfei, and I am an investigator of the 'shadow' organization of the Heavenly Master's Mansion. ”

After listening to Feng Yunfei's words, Zhou Kui's brows furrowed even tighter, and he kept asking, "What does the dark part mean, and what is the shadow?" ”

The head raised his hand to signal Feng Yunfei not to speak, and he personally explained to Zhou Kui: "You have only been here for a few months in the Heavenly Master's Mansion, and you may not be familiar with our departmental structure. To put it bluntly, the dark department is the intelligence agency of our Heavenly Master's Mansion, specializing in collecting confidential information of evil organizations such as the sΓ©ance, and the 'shadow' is the most elite reconnaissance team in the dark department, and every investigator in the team is a Taoist priest with high skills, responsible for carrying out the most dangerous reconnaissance tasks. ”

"In this way, Senior Brother Feng is the top investigator of the Heavenly Master Mansion?" Zhou Kui looked at Feng Yunfei who was standing beside him, and couldn't help but be in awe.

"The top? Don't dare to be, don't dare to be! Feng Yunfei shook his head and said in a modest tone.

The Heavenly Master stood up from his seat, walked to Feng Yunfei's side, and patted Feng Yunfei on the shoulder:

"Yunfei, you've been going undercover in Simao Village for a month, have you found anything?"

Zhou Kui and Qinglan looked at Feng Yunfei at the same time, their faces full of curiosity.

Feng Yunfei didn't answer immediately, he took out his mobile phone from his robe, opened the photo album, pointed to a photo and said to the Heavenly Master: "Master, please look, this is the photo I took on the coast of Simao Village half a month ago. ”

The old heavenly master took the mobile phone and waved his hand to signal Zhou Kui and them to come over and watch together.

Zhou Kui took Qinglan's hand and walked towards the Heavenly Master, the Heavenly Master looked at the photo on the mobile phone screen, his eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and he said in a solemn tone: "Yunfei's trip has gained a lot!" ”

"Boss, what's this black thing in the photo?" Zhou Kui scratched his hair and asked without comprehension.

Feng Yunfei glanced at Zhou Kui and blurted out: "Dagon!" ”

"Da, Dagon?"

Zhou Kui looked at Qinglan, the two looked at each other, and didn't say a word for a long time.

The old celestial master pointed to the thing called Dagong in the photo and explained to the two: "According to legend, there is a half-fish, half-human monster living in the sea area of Simao Cape in the southeast of Binhai City, and the local dialect calls this fish-man monster 'Dagon'. According to the villagers living in the area of Simao Headland, Dagon has rarely left the sea to come to land in recent centuries, but for some reason, in recent months, hordes of Dagon have frequently attacked the villagers living on the coast, and there are even rumors that Dagon has kidnapped the young people of the village in order to take them to the palace in the deep sea and enslave them forever. ”

Feng Yunfei took over the conversation and continued: "Not long ago, several folk paranormal investigators from Binhai City went to Simao Cape to collect clues, and in the end only one person survived, and when I saw the investigator in the intensive care unit of Binhai City People's Hospital, his mind had collapsed, and he kept repeating 'We are all His sacrifices'. ”

"He?" Zhou Kui frowned and asked with a confused expression.

Feng Yunfei looked at Zhou Kui and said with a pale face: "There is a mysterious organization in Simao Cape that worships Dagong as a religion - 'Dagong Esoteric Sect', this is a religious group with a very ancient history, although the number is not large, but their whereabouts are extremely secretive, and a strange religious ceremony is held on the beach every once in a while. According to the information we have in the shadows, the Dagon Esoteric Cult holds religious ceremonies to worship the main god of their teachings, as if it is called 'Night Lord Nayatop'. ”

"Nyattop!"

The moment he heard this name, Zhou Kui couldn't help but exclaim.

He thought of the strange idol he had seen last time in the dark room in the basement of the Shuangling Group Building.

"At that time, Ling Chuixue and Ling Zhengyi sincerely knelt in front of the idol and prayed, and the 'Nyathop' they mentioned in their mouths turned out to be the same as the main god worshipped by Dagon Esoteric Buddhism! Wait a minute, it seems that the sΓ©ance must have some ulterior relationship with Dagon Esoteric Religion! ”

These thoughts were fleeting in Zhou Kui's mind, he looked up at the Heavenly Master, and took the initiative to ask: "Master, please let me and Senior Brother Feng go to Simao Cape together, I always feel that there will definitely be something amazing to discover this time!" ”

The old heavenly master smiled slightly, and said seriously: "I have this intention, just let Qinglan follow, anyway, with Yunfei monitoring you, it is just right to test Qinglan's position." ”

"I'll listen to the boss's arrangement!" Qinglan nodded obediently.

"Okay, that's it! The three of you go back and pack your bags and leave for Binhai early tomorrow morning. This mission is in charge of the elite investigation team 'Shadow' of the Shadow Division, and Yun Fei, as the captain of 'Shadow', has the right to send any member of the team to carry out the mission together. Zhou Kui and Qinglan, please obey Yunfei's dispatch and do not act without permission! ”

Exiting the conference hall, Zhou Kui and Qinglan were about to return to the room to rest, Feng Yunfei suddenly stopped the two of them, and said mysteriously: "For the sake of safety, only the three of us will carry out this investigation mission, so prepare well when you go back." I roughly calculated the time when the Dagong Esoteric Sect held the ceremony, it happened to be this Saturday night, this trip must be very dangerous, and I hope Senior Brother Zhou and Miss Qinglan will be enlightened! ”

Zhou Kui glanced at the calendar on his phone, tomorrow was Friday, and there were only two days before the Dagong Esoteric Sect held the ceremony.

Before leaving, Qinglan turned around and asked Feng Yunfei, "Who is more difficult to deal with compared to a Dagon or a white-haired zombie?" ”

Feng Yunfei looked at Qinglan's eyes thoughtfully, and replied without thinking: "Of course, Dagon is more difficult to deal with!" ”
