Chapter 216: Knocking on the door
The book is brief, and we arrived at the Iron Tower at about three o'clock in the afternoon.
Standing downstairs, a long-lost feeling arose, and the sign of "Shangtongbi Falls Down to Drink Huangquan Demon Removal Guardway Ghost Hunting and Demon Suppression Sanmao Zhenjun Personally Designated Supernatural Incident Processing Center" is still hanging there, the door is empty, and there is no one in the inner hall.
Walking in, the incense burner in front of the three Tianzun in the hall was about to break the incense, the paper money all over the ground was trampled on by footprints, the fat aunt was not there, and the little girl who often came to help was not there, after standing still and respectfully adding a few pillars of incense to the three Tianzun, there was a very slight footstep sound at the staircase of the iron tower.
The sound was trivial, not too heavy, and between two steps, the sound of a small stick tapping on the ground was incessant. I took a few steps back to the spur, and I saw a thin old man with sunglasses and gray temples walking down with a bamboo pole.
"Old man Chen." Seeing that he described him as haggard, my tears fell at once. Hearing my shout, he smiled bitterly and nodded, "Lu Li, are you awake?" ”
"yes, just woke up." Wiping the corners of my eyes, I tried not to make a sound, but where is the old man Chen such a deceitful person, he came over, patted me on the shoulder, and immediately motioned for me to go upstairs to see the ghosts first.
I nodded, and walked upstairs quickly, the door on the second floor was ajar, and when I pushed the door open and walked in, I saw that the ghost was sitting on the sofa stacking something similar to gold ingots, and in front of her, all kinds of paper money ingots were piled up like a small mountain.
When she saw me coming, she turned her head, and after a slight startle, the two big eyes behind the mask blurred for a moment.
I stood in the doorway, and I didn't dare to go in, I always felt ashamed of her, and after five minutes of confrontation, the ghost finally cried. She choked and sobbed, tears falling down her eyes, and in a few moments she was shining under the familiar and unfamiliar mask, and by the time I walked over, she was already crying. I hugged her, opened my mouth several times but couldn't say a word.
Ten minutes later, I dragged the ghost downstairs. In the hall, Old Man Chen was sitting on a chair in front of the counter in a daze, he told me about the situation here, and asked for my opinion, of course, the center of the topic always revolved around Jin Jiuye's will.
For the ninth master's instructions, I did not refuse, said many times, I feel guilty about his death, how important the iron tower is to him, everyone can see, since he left a message to hope that I will help him take care of the ghosts and guard the iron tower, then let these things go on together.
Listening to my statement, Old Man Chen's face showed joy, he nodded, and then said: "Jiuling wrote that his time is running out, and in such a short period of time, many things cannot be taught to you personally, I will stay here for a while, and I will tell you some of the Maoshan Dao methods that must be mastered." As for your business affairs, I won't interfere, I'm old, I've long washed my hands, and I hope you will understand this. ”
"Old man, where are you, I know all the things that you have worked hard to solve the siege, and most of the skills of the ninth master are also passed on from you, no matter how humble you are, I will be ashamed." As I spoke, I told him about the many encounters in the Wind God Valley.
When he said that the red-clothed monk, Old Man Chen's face changed slightly, and after learning that we had injured him by mistake, he laughed while holding the bamboo pole. While praising us for knowing how to outwit the strong, he explained: "This monk is indeed very vicious, I know that he is neither human nor ghost, but I have never seen his true origin." The ability of the two of us, between the two of them, failed to win him down in several encounters when they were young, and later, they were even more stalemate and physically and mentally exhausted. At that time, he had to give three points of courtesy when he saw me, but it was difficult for me to end up with him, but you have to be careful, this monk is by no means a good person, and the fact that he can't move me doesn't mean that he won't look for you to seek revenge. From tomorrow onwards, you should come here to learn some real skills, even if you are not his opponent, you will not be completely passive if you really meet him. ”
"Tomorrow? Tomorrow is not enough, Officer Yang asked us to help with a very difficult case. As soon as I heard this, I hastened to speak. At this time, Lao Yang and Xiao Pang were waiting for me in the car outside, if I promised him, then these people would have to go crazy.
"The case? What case? "Mr. Chen has been in the iron building for several days, and he hasn't gone out much, and he doesn't know enough about things outside. Because the confidentiality work was done enough, this matter naturally did not cause much turmoil, I understood all kinds of reasons, and with a wry smile, I pulled a chair and told him about the "ghost skinned" patient.
When Mr. Chen heard this, he touched his chin and frowned, and then told me something about zombies and took out two blue charms, and asked me about the use of this charm, he waved his hand and signaled me to go early and return early, hearing this, I nodded yes, touched the ghost's head and hurriedly went out.
Closing the door of the iron building, Lao Yang and the others had already come out of the car, Lao Yang squatted on the ground and was smoking, there were cigarette butts all over the ground, and when he saw me coming over to split his head, he asked: "Why is it so long?" Got in trouble? ”
"No, there are important things to explain." As I spoke, I opened the trunk of the police car, stuffed a large backpack into it, and went straight to the accident site with Lao Yang.
At the request of Lao Yang, we first went to meet with the eyewitness of the case, and the person who reported the case was an old guard near the construction site. The old man can be more than sixty years old, slightly hunchbacked, looks quite upright and kind, after listening to what we said, this man hurriedly let us in, carried a thermos to us a few glasses of water, and symbolically politely a few times, and then the anger and harmony involved the topic of the day.
At first, I thought it was a slightly heavier rape-corpse case, but when he told me, it wasn't the case at all.
"In the middle of the night, when it was almost dawn, I was on duty. I was in a daze, and I heard the fence rattling in the neighborhood. At that time, I thought I had met a thief, so I sat up and leaned on the window to look out. I didn't dare to turn on the light, and my eyes were glazed, but the light outside still confused me, and guess what? At that time, I saw two black shadows slamming into the gate one by one, banging, bounceing back, bumping, bounceing back, and the gate was about to be broken by them, and they didn't stop. ”
