Date: April 1997

Location: Chen Family Restaurant, Dafang Town

When Baozi finished the above twenty chapters, I pressed the stop button of the tape recorder, and both tapes were full.

Baozi still has a half-dead expression, his hair is unkempt, his face is gray, he has smoked too much recently, and his teeth have been burnt yellow.

I lit a cigarette and stared at the bun with nice eyes, "I think it's more like a hallucination after you tell this content." ”

The bun didn't look at me either, fiddling with my pen "Where is the hallucination?" ”

"How to say it, like Journey to the West, no, like that..." I can't tell, there were no words like supernatural and fantasy at that time, and I couldn't modify this feeling, and the lack of vocabulary made me like a teapot boiling dumplings, unable to pour them. In short, it feels unreal.

"Do you think I don't look like a brave and resourceful general who leads the Three Realms?" Baozi asked me very seriously.

"Yes," I said, holding back my distrust, "you are so capable, not to mention commanding thousands of troops, even with a slight finger, the family will not be destitute." ”

"Ability is not for oneself. Maybe that's what practice is."

"I don't understand a question, that is, the one you said, that Heavenly Court, the Dharma King of Beiju Luzhou, why would he choose a mortal to take charge of such an important Optimus Giant Umbrella." I raised a question.

"yes, I didn't understand it at the time. The appearance of this umbrella was really sudden, and it was almost stuffed into me by hand, which made me solve a lot of problems at once. Baozi took a sip of the burnt knife and smacked his lips, "Hey! You've seen that umbrella, it's been in my utility room for a long time, and you used to play with it when you were a kid? Later, I should say that I figured it out after a long time. The Heavenly Realm is wary of the Dragon Clan, they will not activate the Dragon Clan's people, and they also look down on the Terran and the little monsters who cultivate immortals. So I was activated, and three effects could be achieved, one of which was that I didn't have the dragon clan's inner dan in my body, and it couldn't be regarded as the dragon's pedigree, so there was no danger after it was activated; Second, I am not a mortal, and I have the basic ability to perform tasks, which can be of little use after activation. Third, I used to have a blood relationship with the dragons, and using me is equivalent to promoting the dragons in face, so that the dragons can neither gain power nor speak. So, I'm the product of the checks and balances of power of several great clans. ”

In other words, instead of handing over the handsome seal to the uneasy dragon clan or greedy officials, it is better to hand it over to a person with a clean foundation. Right? ”

"Let's just put it that way." Baozi's answer to me was still superficial. He took the cigarette into his mouth and pulled out a greasy-stained tape recorder, the keys were all discolored, and the corners were white. "You wait" he muttered to himself, took out another cardboard box, which was full of tapes, rummaged around, searched for a long time, and found a very old tape, on which the faded Teresa Teng was faintly printed. Baozi stuffed the tape into the tape recorder, and there was a sizzling sound inside, which was a sign of the aging of the tape. Then came the thick voices of three men I had never heard before:

"This Qincha is really unusual, and before I entered the hospital, I was dismissed from the official in a few words"...

"Father, the child is the only one who looks to the father, you don't have to listen to the Qincha.....

"Don't listen? This little thing is on patrol! He has to report when he goes back, if I interfere in government affairs again, I'm afraid I will be tied up to heaven to deal with it"....

"This is a teenager, so old and steady, I think this person has the aura of a commander, and he doesn't have this aura if he doesn't cultivate for several generations or generations."

The voice was empty and transparent, as if it came from another world, from a mysterious group that we had studied for a long time, but had never met.

Baozi pressed the stop button and pointed out in particular, "The last sound, do you hear it, it's the old centipede." It's been thirteen years since he died, and I think those unjustly killed children were reincarnated in the third or fourth grade. ”

I nodded, "Quite an old voice." ”

"Of course, they're all hundreds of years old."

"Brother Bao" I forced a smile, "Inside, aren't you inside, what kind of commander, can you call out the Yin Soldier Yin General for me to see?" ”

"That's not going to work, there's no such rule for you to see, unless, of course, you're going to die." Bunzi smoked a cigarette and muttered.

"If you don't call it out, I won't believe you." I almost threatened him.

Baozi seems to be thinking, "Okay, okay if I use the old way?" ”

"What's the old way?" I was interested, and he didn't reject me all.

"Use it" bun patted the tape recorder. He was talking and adjusting the channel, and the sound of la-la sounded, and Baozi was as serious as a telegraph receiver, fine-tuning the knob of the radio, and muttering, "It's strange, for so many years, just this radio can listen to them, no matter how advanced the others are, it's not easy to use." I borrowed money from Luo Xiurong in 1984 to buy it. ”

Someone outside the window shouted loudly, "Hey, boss, come to a big ice cream on a four-flat board, it's going to be frozen." I said to the bun, "You tune it first, I'll go out." After finishing speaking, I went out the door, turned right and didn't take two steps, and my colleague Xiao Chen, who was leaning on the popsicle stand, put down the newspaper in his hand and said to me, "What's the matter, I said he is mentally ill." ”

Although I also think that Baozi's brain is not normal, but when the words come out of other people's mouths, I am full of unhappiness, and I don't like them to comment on my small hair like this, so I say, "Don't talk nonsense, he just behaves differently than others." Do you have a definition of what mental illness is? ”

Xiao Chen glanced at me: "You really take this task as a task?" Look how serious you are! We are all graduates of the OUHK, and others can arrest and interrogate people in cases, so let's keep an eye on this psychopath every day? ”

"I said can you stop nagging, everything is work."

"Then why do you eat with him, I'm on guard outside. Oh, the two of them have to look at him, just because Liu Daguang takes care of him? ”

"Shut up. By the way, what do you mean by sending a code message just now, let me come out? ”

"It's not interesting, just now Director Liu called me on a pager and told you to control him until the end of the ribbon-cutting ceremony, ah, don't run this time."

"Oops, I see," I said impatiently back to the hotel.

Baozi was very happy to see me come back, "Hey! I've called it out, Wang Xiu, listen. I shook my head and sat down, looking at the bun with a serious and happy face, thinking about Sister Hua who washes her face with tears every day, and my heart is not a taste. There was a blank signal on the radio, nothing special. Baozi held his arm, stared at the radio, and said seriously, "Okay, it's not an outsider, let's report something." ”

After saying that, the blank signal on the radio suddenly disappeared, and there were two of us at the restaurant at the same time, and the whole restaurant was dead silent. Immediately after, the voice of that world came over the radio!

"Report to God, 13 wild ghosts were arrested today, including 1 ghost, suspected of sucking away the soul of Wu Shuhua, a woman from West Wujiatun in Dafang Town, who has been controlled on the spot and is being tried. The other souls that have escaped have been brought into the underworld. ”

As soon as I heard this, my hair exploded, and I grabbed the radio and took the tape out, and of course I first suspected that Baozi was playing the tape.

But the radio was still talking, "There's a little impotent, can I continue?" ”

Baozi didn't look at me, but spoke slowly into the corner, looking like an emperor, "This yang sha is not an outsider, you can say it." ”

"On the sixth day of the first month of March, Wu Shuhua got up early and went out to the east of Wujiatun, and when he met this ghost, this ghost immediately possessed Wu Shuhua, created an illusion, and lured Wu Shuhua into the well. After investigation, the ghost was on good terms with Wu Shuhua's husband before his death, and persuaded her husband to abandon Wu Shuhua many times, but the other party did not agree. After his death, he wanted to kill Wu Shuhua's family to vent their anger, but fortunately, we arrived in time and did not take the lives of her husband and children. "Wu Shuhua.... Sound familiar? I calmed down and racked my brains to recall where the word Wu Shuhua had appeared.

"What about Wu Shuhua's yang body?" Baozi asked

"Report, I was cremated by the family members of the impotence."

"What's the hurry, you can still put your soul back within three days, okay, arrange reincarnation." Baozi handled it very competently, "In the future, you will do it according to the rules." ”

The "No" voice was crisp and powerful, and then vanished.

At the same time, I also remembered who Wu Shuhua was, yesterday's safety accident briefing was submitted by my hand, and it had "1 suicide, Wu Shuhua, a villager from Wujiatun, the cause of death: drowning in a well, and the motive for suicide: to be investigated." ”

I was stunned.
