Chapter 4: The Fishing Village

Yan Yunkai, as the leader of the sixth group, does not have many people under his hands. He thought about it, he originally just wanted to take Zhao to steal the machine, but in the end he was so upset by a little ghost that he had to take one more person.

On the second day after returning to Beijing, before he could say a word to the second elder of the family, the leader of Yan Liu's team dragged the family to the plane and turned the car, and rushed to a county town in Fujian Province.

"I really don't want to take my kids with me even when I'm on a business trip." Yan Yunkai sighed.

"Hey, I don't know how many years I've lived longer than you!" Wang Tailor bit on the lollipop and snorted. He looked to be in his early teens, and his mind was very immature, and he had remained in the form of a human being after so many years of death.

Yan Yunkai snorted disapprovingly and looked at his watch.

A few minutes later, a dusty SUV approached and honked its horn twice.

Wang Ju was the first to open the door of the passenger seat, got in, and greeted the driver with a smile: "Team Leader, you will pick it up in person." ”

"Xiao Wangcai, are you here to travel at public expense?" Xie Zhi saw the three of them early in the morning, and now he turned around to look at the two people in the back seat, stared at the suit on Zhao Thief's body with a strange expression for two seconds, and handed Yan Yunkai a subtle look, "I heard what You You said." ”

Yan Yunkai: "Well, then I won't introduce it." ”

"It's good to have amnesia, you don't understand anything, you can still hurry up and play and develop something." Xie Zhi stepped on the accelerator and the car drove out.

Yan Yunkai thought about it calmly for a while, and finally came to the conclusion: "You don't have to mess with You You in the future." ”

Zhao looked out the window expressionlessly.

"Let's get down to business, how's the situation on your end?" Yan Yun opened the way.

Xie Zhi took out his mobile phone with one free hand, unlocked his fingerprint, clicked on the photo album, and threw it back: "Look for yourself." ”

Yan Yunkai raised his hand to catch it and clicked on the first photo. In the center of the photo is an incense burner, looking at what temple it should be in the background, there are three half-cut incense sticks inserted on the incense burner, which do not look like they are burning, but have been broken.

"The case was reported through the channels of the police, and at first a drunk man died in the village, plunged headlong into the shallow water and drowned, and the locals thought it was a drunken stumble." Xie Zhi said, "The next evening, a small fishing boat capsized, and the four people on board did not survive, and the local police report said that it was drowning, and there was no trace of struggle." The fishermen taboo these and went to the Mazu Temple to burn incense, and found that the incense sticks were always burned a little and then cut off from the half-section. ”

Yan Yun opened the big photo and asked, "Have the locals invited a Taoist priest?" ”

"Well, but it's useless. The Taoist priest estimated that he had not learned his skills, so he pretended to give the deceased a transcendent puja and left. Xie Zhi rolled his eyes, "The souls of those dead people have long been detained. ”

"A water ghost?" Yan Yunkai pulled the screen of his mobile phone and saw the second photo, which was taken of those who drowned.

"Although there are no Taoist priests or monks in our second group, under the remote guidance of You You, a spirit conjuring array has been set up, guess what?"

"Recruit a whole bunch of water ghosts?"

Xie Zhi nodded: "Yes, it's a lot, it is estimated that there can be a battalion." They all came from the sea, but they came out of the distance and disappeared. It stands to reason that even if we haven't studied it seriously, but with our own mana, we won't even be able to fool ghosts by setting up a magic circle, right? ”

Xie Zhi's style has always been rough, he firmly believes that all conspiracies and tricks are paper tigers in the face of absolute strength, and the team members under him are also capable of doing things and never forcing them.

However, this time he didn't even catch a ghost shadow, and he had nowhere to go, which really made him unhappy.

In the afternoon, the sky gradually became overcast, and the sky was covered with dark clouds, and the wind carried a little stuffiness.

Xie Zhi drove the car to the fishing village, and a middle-aged man greeted him early, and said with a smile: "Officer Xie, you can come back, do you want to think about going to sea again, this weather seems to be a thunderstorm......

"It should be a shower, this matter is not in a hurry, I want to go and see the Mazu Temple first." Yan Yunkai put his coat in the crook of his arm and leaned over to take out a lockbox from the car.

The middle-aged man asked, "This is ......?"

"These three ......" Xie Zhi glanced at Wang Ju and changed his words, "These two are my colleagues, and they came to help." ”

"Oooh. Hello, I am the head of this village. The man glanced at the two of them, stretched out his hand towards Zhao Thief, who was closest to him, and saw that Zhao Thief was indifferent, and when he was embarrassed, Yan Yun came over with a smile and shook hands with him naturally.

"I want to go to the Mazu Temple to have a look, please lead the way."

"Okay, okay."

The Mazu Temple is not very large, and the things in the temple are some years old, but they are not damaged, and they are also very clean, which shows that there are often people to maintain and clean.

Yan Yunkai crossed the threshold and explained: "Block the scene." ”

Xie Zhi responded, asked the team members to pull up the cordon outside the temple, and followed him in.

The village chief was anxious and persuaded: "This is the Tianhou Palace, you can't mess around, it's disrespectful, hey, police officer!" ”

"Oh, don't worry." Wang Xi squatted at the door, "My father Yan is a N-generation Taoist, and he is much more particular than you." ”

The candlesticks on both sides flickered with candlelight, and there was a bag of unsealed incense sticks on the table, Yan Yunkai took out three, arranged them on the incense table, and lit them with candles.

Zhao Thief and Xie Zhi stood outside the hall and watched, Xie Zhi asked, "What do you think of our sixth child?" ”

After Zhao saw Yan Yunkai return the incense case, he stood in front of the statue for a while, and then inserted the incense sticks in the incense burner in the order of center, left, and right.

"His cultivation is not low." Zhao said lightly.

"Who asked you this?" Xie Zhi said, his eyes staring at the incense burner, and after half a minute, the incense stick on the left trembled and suddenly broke off.

Yan Yunkai pinched the trick with his right hand, took out a piece of rune paper from his pocket with his left hand, and threw it into the air, and the rune paper was stuck in the air and burned, overflowing with black smoke.

He took a few steps back, avoiding the mist, and looked thoughtfully at the idol in the middle.

"What's going on?" Xie Zhi walked in and asked.

"This statue of the Queen of Heaven is worshiped by believers all year round, and it originally has some aura, but I just tried to invite God, but I didn't feel it at all."

Xie Zhi let out an "oh" and said, "In other words, you want to connect to WiFi, but this router may have been tampered with, and you can't receive the signal at all." It's also possible that the signal is blocked, and I feel like the aura here is very chaotic. ”

How can anyone compare the statue of the god to a router, Yan Yunkai was full of black lines, and added: "Mazu Temple can't stop this area, so fishermen will have accidents one after another." ”

"The main thing is to figure out where so many water ghosts come from." Xie Zhi thought for a while, "This sea area is so wide, and the people nearby rely on the sea to eat the sea, there must be a lot of people who have left their lives in the sea since ancient times, but why did they all appear at this time?" It's like a party. ”

"That's your job, I'm just here for you." Yan Yunkai shrugged his shoulders, opened the box he brought, and took out a Sanqing Bell and a Taoist Master Treasure Seal, "You wait for me outside, I'll do it first." ”

Of course, the sanitation he said is not really hygiene, but to ward off ghosts and evil spirits, and shun the aura in this temple.

"Don't overwhelm yourself." Xie Zhi instructed.

By this time, it had fallen heavily, and there were occasional thunderbolts.

Zhao Thief stood under the eaves, listening to the jingling bells inside, the sound of the bells was crisp, carrying a pure and clear power, which made the spirit platform empty and clear. The wind was blowing, and there was a faint smell of dampness in the air. He rubbed his nose and headed outside.

The Mazu Temple is on a high ground, and from here you can see a small piece of sea in the distance, and the vast rain curtain will also line the sea hazy.

Wang Shu squatted on the threshold, looked up and could only see Zhao Thief's chin, and wondered: "Brother, you don't seem to be able to help much." ”

Zhao didn't pay attention to him.

"Hey, brother, big brother, why don't you ignore people?" Wang Tailor poked his leg.

Zhao was still silent.

Wang Ju said tentatively: "Uncle? Uncle? ”

Zhao Thief finally lowered his eyes, glanced at him, and said calmly: "There is no place where I need help." ”

This was the first sentence in response to him, but Wang Ju smashed his mouth and said stupidly: "It turns out that you don't want to be with me." ”

When the rain stopped, the bells in the temple also stopped.

The sky was still gray, and the air was hot and humid, making people feel sticky and uncomfortable.

"When are we going to sea?" Yan Yunkai rubbed his wrist and walked out of the Mazu Temple.

"In the evening." Xie Zhidao, "When the time comes, you will set up another conjuring array ......on the sea," he said, paused, turned his head and asked Yan Yunkai, "Can you afford it?" ”

"If it's just a formation, it should be fine."

"That's good. Find a place to have dinner early. ”

Now that it is a fishing moratorium, all the fishing boats have returned to the port to suspend fishing, and the villagers are concentrating on building their own aquaculture farms.

When the village chief arranged the boat, he was a little puzzled, and he didn't understand why these police officers had to go to sea to investigate the case, and he also specially stated that he didn't need the captain to accompany him, so he couldn't help but be a little apprehensive at this time, and said: "These few months are the fishing ban period, and the boat I arranged does not have a fishing license, and you don't have a sea permit, if something happens, I can't afford this responsibility......

A group of people were sitting at the village chief's house eating, Wang Shui ate seafood with relish, and said without raising his head: "Don't worry about this, if something really happens, we will coordinate with the relevant departments." ”

In the eyes of the village chief, Wang Ju is just a child who comes to play with his parents, and it is funny to say such a thing, as if he is pretending to be an old man, but the other people in the nine places have a natural expression, and they are used to it.

Wang Ju looked indifferent, after all, the title of the six groups of little overlords is not in vain.

"We won't go too far, just look at the nearby sea." Xie Zhi tapped the bowl with chopsticks, he didn't bring many people this time, only two, but fortunately, they were all watery, "The sixth is with me, and Wangcai and the newcomer will stay to respond." ”

Zhao Thief had no choice but to put down his chopsticks.

It was getting dark, the sea was calm, and the fishing boats were leaving.

The lights on the ship were not turned on, Xie Zhi and Yan Yunkai stood on the deck, and one of the subordinates who came with them went to drive the boat, and the other turned into a goshawk and flew into the sky.

When the boat sailed away and the lights of the fishing village turned into tiny stars, Yan Yun opened his right arm, his right hand was held in the air, and a white beam of light appeared in his hand.

The beam stretched to a length of about one meter, and a spirit flag hung from the top, floating without wind.

"Visible and gloomy, ghosts and gods are seen from afar-" Yan Yunkai held the spirit banner in his hand and said in a deep voice.
