Back at the banknote shop, the master and the others didn't speak, as if they were discussing countermeasures. At this time, I can't help as a child, so I can only be silent with them.

The yin man said sullenly: "Two years ago, the mother of the director of the Lianghe Town Police Station died, and I went to help him pass the yin once and recalled his mother's soul. He owed me a favor, and I went to tell him to let the police station patrol with guns all night tonight. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone else's eyes lit up. The white-bearded ghost clapped his hands and smiled: "Yes, there is still a way for the Yin people, so do it!" With a policeman with a gun, let's each follow one, which is a lot safer. ”

The master and the old monk also agreed to this method, so they went their separate ways and prepared.

The master called me to the side and said to me, "Xiao Ming, something doesn't seem quite right. I feel that your uncle didn't come to me to take revenge, but had a bigger conspiracy. Maybe these two river towns are going to be in danger, why don't you go out and avoid them for a few days first, and find the fat baby and take refuge with them? ”

"Master, we said yes before! I'm not too young, I have to face danger with you, you have to talk to the point, you can't drive me away! ”

The master couldn't resist me, so he could only agree.

That morning, the people who passed through the Yin took us to the director of the police station in Lianghe Town. At that time, the news of more than 20 corpses hanging on top of Huang Ge had spread throughout Lianghe Town, and it simply caused an uproar.

The residents of the town were panicked, and they didn't know which one was the first to spread the rumor that the ghost was asking for his life, and it soon spread. On our way to the police station, all the neighbors were discussing the matter, and they all had frightened expressions on their faces.

The old monk shook his head: "It would be convenient if all the townspeople went outside to avoid it." “

The white-bearded ghost snorted, "This is not like what a monk can say. ”

"What? You say I'm not a monk? Why am I not a high monk, you say, why don't we fight? Although you are a part-time ghost, our Buddhist family is not under your control. Come on, come on, do a fight. The old monk rolled up his sleeves, as if he really wanted to fight with the white-bearded ghost.

The person who passed the yin snorted coldly, and the master sighed: "Don't make trouble with the two of you, the enemy is at present, the matter has not been resolved, you two are making trouble again, if you don't solve Jiang Xuan quickly, I'm afraid that Lianghe Town will be in trouble this time." ”

In between conversations, we arrived in front of the police station in Lianghe Township, where a police badge hung high in the door. I don't know what's going on, but when I see this badge, it gives people a sense of security, as if nothing sinister and evil can get in.

Seeing me staring at the police badge at the door of the police station, the old monk smiled: "Xiao Ming has vision, at such a young age, he suddenly feels that this police badge is unusual, right?" The state, according to your Taoists, is the embodiment of the luck of the people. Our Buddhists have done a lot of things for you, and many of them are designed by the holy monks of my Buddhism, which itself has the effect of driving away evil spirits. For example, China's police badge is one of them, even if it doesn't have any mana blessing, only this figure hangs out, and the weaker ghosts and ghosts have to be avoided. ”

I nodded as if I didn't understand, feeling that what the old monk said seemed to make sense. At the same time, I also think that the person who designed this logo is really powerful, and he didn't cast any spells, just because this graphic was made, it had the effect of suppressing evil spirits.

"Comrade, do you have any problems?"

We were at the door to get ready to go in when we saw a couple of young policemen coming out of it. When they saw our dress, they were stunned at first, and then they suddenly realized. After walking a few quick steps, he came to us: "Oh, you are comrades from the religious office sent from above, aren't you?" Come in, come in, the director is waiting for you in the office, the dead man in the town last night ......"

After saying that, he took us to the police station very enthusiastically. I'm the second monk and I'm confused, but I saw that the master was stunned at first, and then didn't refute it, I'm naturally a little kid who can't say anything. Anyway, it was the first time I entered this police station, and I was very curious and looked around. At the same time, I felt that the entire police station did exude a sense of majesty. This feeling is very strange, obviously there is no spell existing, but it seems to be able to dispel yin and evil.

Soon, we were in the police chief's office. The young policeman in the lead knocked on the door and said that the comrade from the director's religious office had arrived.

"Let them in."

A very thick middle-aged man's voice came from the office, and it should be the director of the Lianghe Town Police Station. We walked into the office, and a man in a police uniform was turning his back to us. Then he turned around and saw that we were stunned for a moment, and then we already had a gun in our hands: "You are not from the religious office!" ”

At this time, the Yin Man reached out and brushed it off the hood that he had been wearing on his head, revealing his face. It was a pale, bloodless face. This is also the first time I have seen the face of the Yin Man, although he has always been in the dark money shop since I was a child, but I never knew what he looked like, and today is the first time I have seen him.

It was the appearance of a young man, about twenty years old, with thin lips like sharp knives. The eyes are very empty, as if there is no focus on looking at people and things. I have to say that he is very good-looking and looks very comfortable. At that time, I didn't know what it meant to be cool and handsome, but then I remembered that if this person was a normal person, he would definitely be at the level of a first-line male star.

The head of the police station was still very vigilant, pointed a gun at us, and at the same time planned to call someone. But the moment he saw the appearance of this yin man, his eyes showed surprise, he quickly put away the gun, walked a few steps to the front, and said excitedly: "Ah, Engong, it's actually you." I thought it was someone who had come in with a bad plot and deliberately pretending to be someone from a religious office. ”

Sure enough, as the Yin Man said before, he once helped the director of the police station in Lianghe Town, so the other party owes him a favor and is very grateful to him. I just don't know what this so-called "religious office" is in his mouth.

"Who are these?" The police station chief looked at the four of us and asked.

"My friend, I want to tell you about the death of more than 20 people last night when Huang Ge was killed." The Yin Man said lightly.

When the police station chief heard him say this, his originally enthusiastic face suddenly changed and became serious: "Engong is here for this matter, and looking at your friend's dress, it is estimated that he is not an ordinary person, but I didn't expect that I ruled a small Lianghe Town, and there are so many talented people hidden in it, I never knew it." ”

The master spoke: "It seems that you, the director of the police station, are not ordinary people who don't understand anything. Since you have known yin people, you should also know a little bit about the things between yin and yang. ”

The head of the police station nodded with a serious expression: "This master is good, my name is Li Jun." Since Engong and you are here, it means that last night's incident was indeed not done by anyone, alas, I used to hope that it was indeed a living person who killed someone, and now it seems that the last glimmer of hope has been dashed. ”

"What's going on with this religious office? As soon as we arrived at the door, your subordinates let us in, saying that we were comrades from the religious office. The white-bearded ghost asked this Director Li curiously.

"Oh, yes. Early this morning, I heard that more than 20 people were hanged on top of a yellow kudzu tree at the same time last night, and I felt that this matter was not simple, and it was very likely that it was an evil thing, so I quickly reported this matter to the county police station, and the top paid attention to it and asked me to wait for news. Then, ten minutes later, I received a call from the provincial government, saying that I was going to send some people from the religious office to solve the matter, so that I didn't have to ask, and I just had full authority to obey the command at that time. I guess the people who came here are probably the same as you are the same as Engong. It's just that they belong to the ...... of the state organs."

After listening to Director Li's words, I almost understood a little. It turns out that the country has also raised a group of strange people like my master to deal with this kind of weird and evil things that can't be known to ordinary people.

"Hehe, the people who are engaged in this part of the official face, that is half a peer. Now it has been renamed as a religious office, and I remember that in the Republic of China, it was called the Tenth Branch of Special Service. The ghost touched his white beard and shook his head.

"Secret Service Ten?"

Director Li was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses and ignored it with a smile. He also knows that he is an ordinary person after all, and many things may not be touched.

"Engong, what do you think happened last night? Is it really a terrible ghost? Why are you so powerful, you killed more than 20 people in one night, and why did you hang them all on the yellow kudzu tree? I also want to trouble you masters to protect the residents of our Lianghe Town......" He bowed after speaking.

It seems that Director Li is really conscientious, and he attaches great importance to the security of Lianghe Town.

The Yin Man shook his head: "It's not a powerful ghost asking for his life, but a demon with a bad heart who is more powerful than a powerful ghost." He's very strong, one-on-one and we're no match for him. Moreover, he has been hiding in the shadows, which is very difficult to deal with. ”

"This ...... If Engong can't do anything, what will happen to the people of Lianghe Town? Is it just to let that unscrupulous demon kill people so unscrupulously? "Director Li is already in a hurry.

As soon as the master was about to speak, there was a very noisy sound outside, and then he heard a knock on the door, and the young policeman just now, sweating profusely, ran in, looked at us, and said with some annoyance: "You liars! People who are not religious offices at all, get out, get out quickly! ”

"Xiao Chen, what are you doing? We're talking about things! Director Li said majestically, it seems that he is still very authoritative in front of his subordinates.

The young policeman named Xiao Chen scratched his head and explained with some embarrassment: "Director, didn't you say before that the boss would send some comrades from the religious office?" I saw that they were dressed strangely, there were Taoist priests and monks, and I thought they were ......"

"Hmph, I'd like to see if any of the people who are on the sidelines are actually pretending to be people from our religious office. This is pretending to be a state official and obstructing official business! A somewhat arrogant voice came in from outside the door, obviously a relatively unseen person. But what strikes me a little strange is that this voice doesn't sound very old, probably not much like me.

A short time later, a teenager who was about fourteen or fifteen years old walked in from the door of the police station. He is dressed in a fluttering light blue robe, wearing a Taoist crown on his head, and a pair of cloth shoes on his feet, he looks very delicate, but his eyebrows are like swords, his eyes are very sharp, shiny, and he always has a condescending feeling when looking at people.

As soon as he entered, it seemed that the light in the whole room had been sucked in by him, and naturally became the focus of this office, and people had to pay attention to him.

The white-bearded ghost snorted first, then showed a very surprised expression, and whispered: "This young Taoist priest's breath is so strong, it actually makes me feel uncomfortable. ”

The fourteen or fifteen-year-old young Taoist priest who had just entered the house turned his head to look at us and said coldly: "Oh, who did I think, it turned out to be some people from the mountains and wilderness, just by you, do you also want to solve the evil things?" ”

Master, they may think that this is a little child with no one in their eyes, which is understandable, but I am also thirteen years old, one or two years younger than him, how can I bear it. immediately replied: "Is there something wrong with the braincase?" A little kid, not much older than me, is here with a swagger, pretending to be something! ”

"You, you ......"

When I said this, he was stunned, as if he couldn't find the words to refute it, and I choked on him. I guess I didn't expect me to talk like this, and it took a long time to hold back a sentence: "Vulgar, it's simply uneducated!" ”

Just when the scene was a little embarrassing, an angry roar came from outside: "Qin Yu, you shut up for me!" Stand in the corner and face the wall! ”

A middle-aged man walked in from the outside, he was wearing a neat suit, a pair of black leather shoes on his feet, very clean, shiny, the whole person gave people a very elegant feeling.

As soon as this person came in, he was followed by several other people, all of whom looked very powerful. The middle-aged man glanced at the blue-robed young man, who snorted and turned his head to the side, looking a little unconvinced, but did not continue to speak.

The middle-aged man first bowed to us and apologized, and then introduced himself: "Hello everyone, I am from Xia Qin, and I am the deputy director of the Chongqing Religious Affairs Office. The apprentice is not sensible, and he has caused you trouble. After finishing speaking, he took out a document from the pocket of his clothes and handed it to Director Li.

Director Li took it and looked at it carefully for a while, and then handed it back very respectfully: "Welcome to the superior leaders to inspect the work!" ”

Qin Ren waved his hand: "Don't use these politeness, let the others go out, let's talk first." ”

The white-bearded ghost was obviously annoyed by the blue-robed young man, and snorted coldly: "Since there are people in the country who are in charge of this matter, then we rural people will not join in this fun." Old man Jiang, let's go, with these officials here, it's none of our business. ”

I also kind of want to leave, after all, the boy just now is too annoying, it's just arrogant, young and very young, but my heart can't be lowered.

Qin Ren smiled and said to us: "Everyone, the apprentice has been gifted since he was a child, he is only obsessed with cultivation, and he doesn't know much about how to behave in the world, please forgive me if I say anything wrong." ”

The master and the others still didn't give him a good look, and this Qin man was not angry, but still smiled. He looked at us and suddenly said: "The designer of the underworld, the ghost of the yang world, the yin person, the fellow Buddhist, I didn't expect to meet here, it is also fate." In the lower Taoist mountain, a member of the Qin surname is now a deacon of Wudang Mountain. It's a gift to all of you. After saying that, bow again.

At this moment, the original cold expressions of the master and the others eased a lot, and they all returned the salute.

At that time, I didn't know why the Qin people changed their words, and their attitudes were completely different. Later, I learned that among the various traditions, if you report your own sect or inheritance to others, it is a kind of greatest respect. This Qin man was originally a senior leader in the world, and he did not use his identity to suppress us ordinary people, but to be commensurate with Taoist friends, so he naturally won the favor of the master and others.

Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's get down to business. This Qin man asked Director Li to go out too, leaving only the people he brought and a few of us in this office, although I don't know how the official positions of the state are divided, but I can also see that his official is more than a little older than Director Li.

"Alright, now let's talk about the situation in Two Rivers. Yesterday we received a notice that more than 20 people in Lianghe Town had suddenly hanged themselves inexplicably from a yellow kudzu tree, so we came over. After everyone sat down, Qin Ren spoke first.

The master habitually smoked a dry cigarette, and after spitting out the smoke: "Although it is strange to hang more than 20 people on a tree, it is not so much that it will directly alarm you, I think there must be other reasons." Perhaps, you know a little more about my junior brother than we do? ”

"Senior brother?" The Qin man and his men both had strange expressions.

The master sighed and nodded: "The one who made waves in these two rivers towns and caused such a sinful thing is my junior brother, Jiang Xuan." ”

"The surname is Jiang, is it the designer family of the Jiang family in southern Sichuan? No wonder, I said that the demon's technique is more familiar, it turns out that it is also the inheritance of the Jiang family. One of the Qin people's subordinates suddenly realized and spoke.

Then, the master told the Qin people about Jiang Xuan and the current situation in Lianghe Town, and they all frowned and listened very carefully.

"Master Jiang, what you said earlier is right. Indeed, if it was just the hanging of more than twenty inhabitants on the top of a small town, it would be strange but not so strange that I would have to make a trip myself. In fact, before the accident in Lianghe Town, we already knew that there were more than a dozen places where similar things had happened one after another. ”

"What?!"

Hearing this Qin man say this, we were all shocked. I didn't expect that before the mass hanging death in Two Rivers Town, there had been more than a dozen different places where such things had happened?

Qin Ren nodded with a solemn expression: "That's right, similar things have happened in sixteen small towns in Sichuan. Within a short period of time, the townspeople hanged themselves from the locust tree one after another. Since they are all like-minded, they should also know the characteristics of locust trees. The ancestors have long explained that a wood, a ghost, a ghost in the wood. Anyone who hangs on the locust tree can't go underground, but can only be absorbed and accumulated in the locust tree! ”

It turns out that the locust tree still has such a situation, absorbing the soul that hangs on it. Although we don't have a locust tree in Lianghe Town, the deadly yellow kudzu tree should have become a demon tree by chance, with the characteristics of a locust tree.

He continued: "It may be a coincidence that something like this happens once or twice, but it's kind of scary when it happens in large numbers and there are so many deaths. There must be a force behind this, doing these things! Later we found out that someone was indeed engaged in a more sinister conspiracy. ”
