Chapter 51: The Extreme Thief (7.4 Chapter 3)

"Let's go for a walk." Yu Zujia said that he hadn't seen him for a few days, and it was the first time he had met the appearance of an elite in the workplace, but there were a few more bloodshots in his eyes.

"Captain Yu, looking for me?" I asked knowingly.

"Something."

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting."

"It's nothing, I've only been here for a while."

The atmosphere became a little awkward and silent, we wanted to find a topic to talk about, but there was no intersection, at this moment, a female classmate who was going to the rehearsal together passed by, and immediately began to cough, and ran away with laughter and trembling.

I believe that tomorrow, no, there will be new rumors about us on the campus of Capital University this afternoon, fortunately Yu Zujia didn't wear it today*, otherwise I don't know what it will be!

"Let's go around campus and find a place to talk." Yu Zujia obviously also found something wrong and proposed. After that, he walked in a counterclockwise direction along the exterior wall of the rehearsal room.

There was a lower perimeter with an arched wooden door, which originally seemed to have been painted white, but had become mottled by disrepair. Yu Zujia asked me with her eyes. Hesitantly stepped out of the footsteps and walked towards the door step by step.

I was also deserted and fled, and I quickened my pace and followed behind Yu Zujia, who silently stepped into the gate, afraid that I would lose it.

At the other end of the fence is not an ordinary school building, but a world as green as a forest. As far as the eye can see, it is a dense green grass.

It is difficult for those who come to Capital University for the first time to imagine that at the end of the bustling asphalt road that they have just walked all the way, there is such a strange world, which is full of suffocating plant aromas. The ground was covered with weeds that were up to my knees, dotted with yellow dandelions and purple lilacs.

I stopped and turned to look at the buildings I was passing by. This school building, which is located at the junction of the teaching area and the living area, has not been renovated for a long time, and no one has set foot in it for a long time. The weeds at the soles of our feet should have been grass, and there were places that looked like they should have been nurseries, where the rose seedlings had long since withered. What a strange mood. A moment ago, I was annoyed by being a rumored "otaku detective", but now I want to enjoy campus life for the last time, and I can use my imagination freely.

The dusty gate facing the outside is imposing and intimidating, but the incredible thing is that the stone buildings, which are intimidating when viewed at night, feel soft and bright in the daytime. Unlike the gloomy building, this building didn't scare me at all, but rather made me feel comfortable and breathe freely.

I walked around the nursery of the school building at ease, probably because my expression was so cheerful, how wonderful it felt. Yu Zujia glanced back, as if he was startled, obviously he didn't know me well enough, according to Shi Lingren, I have been under too much pressure recently, especially after experiencing the bloody case that caused a sensation in the city. He made me try to relax as much as possible in the place where the people were buzzing, and to a large extent, I regained my lively nature, which helped me to regulate my psychology.

To the west of the teaching building, less than five miles away, there is a mirror-like surface of water, surrounded on three sides by artificial buildings of varying heights. That's Nameless Lake.

In early summer, the lakeside is covered with a variety of trees and flowers. In the middle of summer, it becomes an endless sea of flowers. The perennial vegetation grows more than a house high, and in the distance it looks like the sky is rippling, and it can even be described as windless green waves, and the wind rises and falls. As long as I am still active as a member of the student community, I will be able to live ...... life with peace of mind.

I retracted my gaze, and there was a whole row of spacious floor-to-ceiling windows near the teaching building. Inadvertently, my eyes were drawn to the bright colors reflected in the gray glass windows. It was a blend of white and pink, and the branches that hung low like willow leaves were full of flowers, like a fair lady, dragging long sleeves. I turned my head and saw that the reason why the flowers were reflected on the glass windows was because of the cherry blossom forest on the opposite side. But before that, I hadn't noticed that there were already a few cherry blossom trees in bloom. The flowers cast a shadow on the ground, and in March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, so it would be nice to be able to sit under the cherry blossom tree and read.

When I was pleasantly surprised to find that the tree had bloomed early, Yu Zujia was already standing next to the flower, beckoning to me and saying, "The flower has bloomed!" "

After speaking in a murmuring voice, Yu Zujia looked up at the trunk. I also looked up with it.

After saying that, my mood was incredibly relaxed. I smiled slightly.

"Classmate Shen, do you still believe in the faint words of those female ghosts asking for their lives?" Yu Zujia's words made the atmosphere turn sharply and became very dull.

"If you find Mu Tongtong's body, please notify me." I turned around and left. But Yu Zujia used a sentence to stop me. "Classmate Shen, don't you want to know about the Jiang Xiang faction?"

Apparently he already knew something about me, and that was the fact that I had shown a strong interest in mysterious and suspicious events. And after all this, the more people make their scalps tingle and even feel unbelievable, the more they behave.

Although not like the Shiling people, it is said that there have been several experiences in solving the mystery of the gruesome killings - indeed, I don't think anyone has the best head as the Shiling people. Still, I think his inclination to exert that wisdom is too paranoid.

I stopped, but Yu Zujia also hesitated, "Where should I start?" That's it! It's time to tell you these secrets, after all...... That person is there for you now. ”

"This matter goes back hundreds of years...... Yu Zujia's tone was almost like he was about to start talking about the ancients.

Then he told me a series of thrilling things that I forgot where I was.

The word "Jiang Xiang" is the river of "rivers and lakes" and the phase of "Prime Minister".

The Hongmen people called the heroes of the green forest "generals", and the Jiang Xiangpai called themselves "Xiang", claiming to be the prime ministers of the rivers and lakes, so as to distinguish the boundary between the civil and military. But few people know that the word "Jiang Xiang" still has the intention of entrenching in the rivers and lakes and looking at the rivers and mountains, after all, although the ancestor of the Jiang Xiang faction is the ancestor of the pre-Qin and Han Dynasty scholars, Xu Fu, Li Shaoweng, and the twins and the like, until the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty and the thirteen rebel armies, but also attached to the famous Liu Bowen, and so on to the Kangqian period, even Fang Zhaoyu, one of the five ancestors in front of the Hongmen, was also respected by the Jiang Xiang faction as one of the founding ancestors.

But the real origin of the Jiang Xiang faction was the hidden dragons that lost to Zhu Yuanzhang at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty...... Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, Fang Guozhen, Ming Yuzhen and other descendants gathered in the mountains and forests to plot against the guest. Since then, every time in the autumn of troubled times, the Jiang Xiang faction has appeared as a society of different sects, intending to coerce the country with rivers and lakes, and most of the palace changes and national changes in the Ming and Qing dynasties are related to them.

The leader of the Jiang Xiang faction is called "University Scholar", which is another name for the prime minister, also called "Master Dad", which is elected by the disciples of each room, because of the different factions, there are about two or three in each big city, that is, the big wharf, and its whereabouts are secretive, often just a flash in the pan. The following are champions, Bangyan, Tanhua, Hanlin, Jinshi, Juren and other levels of officials to make wishes, so that they can be rewarded for meritorious deeds after the power is overwhelmed by the world. Anyone who has the true inheritance of the teacher is born as "Hanlin" and is expected to rise to the "university scholar". In addition to these descendants, there are also the so-called 'Three Mountains and Five Mountains', which recruit talents and collude with bandits. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, it was the heyday of the Jiang Xiang faction, and its deception was also perfect. For example, the three major cases of the Ming Dynasty, the chaos in the Tianli Sect Palace in the early Qing Dynasty, and even the future Humen cigarette sales, Gengzi National Change, and Qing court abdication, all have their shadows.

You can't do big things without money and food, so in addition to making friends with the government and raising the dead, the Jiang Xiang faction mainly relies on the things of gods and ghosts to cheat money, and its factions include classes (looking at the face), knocking the scriptures (divination), asking C (fortune telling), Zha Fei (worshipping gods), fire (rich), water (poverty) and so on. There are three general rules: one is not to disclose fraud, the second is to only defraud money, not to cheat sex, and the third is not to be a melon (death) brother (customer). After all, if you are a dead customer, you will expose the face of the Jiang Xiangpai as a liar, so that people in the industry can no longer make a living by cheating money, and at the worst, it will provoke the imperial court to destroy the family, because of the careful and meticulous actions, the Jiang Xiangpai has been prosperous for hundreds of years.

Even during the Second Revolution of the Republic of China to the Central Plains War, the Jiang Xiang faction threaded the needle and led the way, turned the rain and turned the clouds, and waved the flag and shouted for the true dragon emperor they selected. If it weren't for this, it would not have been so easy for the Genyosha to launch the "918 Incident" in the future.

After the all-out War of Resistance, the Jiang Xiangfaction split several times under internal and external troubles, and when the War of Resistance was won, some people saw that they could not do anything, and flew away to Southeast Asia. The current Jiang Xiang faction has long been a matter of people, but it is composed of some magic sticks who have been restarted after being revitalized in the 80s, and they only dare to make a small fuss and engage in some deception and deception, and it will no longer become a climate."

"That's it...... It's over? "I was unwilling, like listening to a story, just as it arrived, it stopped abruptly, and then the storyteller said, there is no ending, this is the ending.

"It sounds like a legend." I carefully searched for the right words. "And what does it have to do with me now?"

"I'll show you the information later," Yu Zujia looked at me, "To put it simply, the previous scams that happened at your residence, the cat's tail swing cafΓ© and Lin Youya's hotel suite were all the same methods of the Jiang Xiang faction, and in their "Yingyao Chapter", they were called 'Zhaoshui Bowl'. ”

According to Yu Zujia, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the repeated blows to the Jiang Xiang faction not only destroyed their organization, but also exposed their deception. The Jiang Xiang faction is known as having great magical powers, and they can call for wind and rain, scatter beans into soldiers, change the day, and bring the dead back to life, but their so-called supernatural skills are nothing more than tricks. The secret lies in the word "Yingyao", "Ying" refers to the family background, "Yao" refers to knowing, and "Yingyao" refers to the use of clever techniques to know the family history of the inquirer, and then use clever words to achieve the purpose of cheating money and sex, demagoguery, recruiting troops, and plotting against others.

Only when you get the "Yingyao Chapter" can you be regarded as getting the true inheritance of the master. Ordinary disciples have no connection with the "Yingyao Chapter" at all, and they must be "big" and able to "suppress one", that is, they are dignified, so that the inquirer can be respected, and the apprentices who are intelligent and eloquent can be dictated by the master to themselves.

The rivers and lakes recorded in the "Yingyao Chapter" are strange, among which the so-called water bowl is the method of asking God to get up on the altar and divining the blessings and misfortunes, the warlock first puts a hell change at the bottom of the bowl, covers it with a convex lens, when the water in the bowl is less, with the light in front of the altar, the convex lens does not reflect the picture, and when the water is injected, to a certain extent, the picture will appear. Therefore, those who ask God for divination are terrified when they see the image of the water bowl. Filled with water again, the portrait disappeared again because of refraction. Let those who ask God for divination have no doubt about it......"

Yu Zujia told half of the story, which sounds very familiar to me. Looking back, I remember that this method was very similar to the one that Shi Ling used in the cafΓ©. But some of the details are different. Probably because of the progress of science and technology, what role did he play in the other two stories?

I suddenly woke up and asked with a cold face: "Captain Yu, you seem to be sure that Shi Ling is pretending to be a ghost, it's too arbitrary!" Even if he has this ability, it doesn't mean that he is behind it, or that he should be proud, because he has the ability that others don't have! And the world has changed over time, maybe the number of people with this ability in this world has gradually increased, and he is not the only one, which can only be said that his brain power is more developed than ordinary people and can draw inferences! ”

Yu Zujia raised his chin and said proudly: "Student Shen, I admit that I have a prejudice against Shi Lingren, after all, he once called himself Mr. Yin and Yang, and he has the superpower to communicate Yin and Yang, but people in the industry don't think so." My teacher on the other side of the ocean is a police detective and a superpower case researcher. However, he did not conduct research on superpowers himself. It is said that his argument is that because of the non-reproducibility and unknown factors, superpowers can only be used alone when no one is around, so there is no point in experimenting with superpowers. I'm just worried that you'll be led astray by him......"

"Police detective...... Charlie! I shouted, "The useless Chinese detective who was judged by Shi Lingren can't be your master, right?" ”

"Chinese detective Charlie Chen, he is a pioneer of many modern ways to solve crimes, and he is also the idol of overseas Chinese!" Yu Zujia's pride was overflowing, "I hate Shi Lingren's behavior without morality. But as far as the matter is concerned, I am only out of the duty of a police officer, and I am afraid that he will try to use his unique convenience to unilaterally oppress the girl he values, and try to force her to submit by pretending to be a ghost. I'm even more worried that he will be crushed by the violence hidden in his heart...... After all,"

He whispered a word. "If those things in the archives are true, what the Jiang Xiang faction is good at is not only the Jianghu technique, etc., the 'Five Mountains' is not to worry, but the 'Three Mountains' may still have descendants!"

"I don't care about the three mountains and five mountains", I glared at Yu Zujia, "Captain Yu, I respect your professionalism, but you came here today to persuade me to cherish life and stay away from Shiling people?" I'm sorry, I was about to go to him, so I won't tell you about these old martial arts things that are old in the old sesame seeds! ”

"You don't have to go," Yu Zujia said in a deep voice, "I came today to invite the two of you to go to a place together, You Yimo has probably pulled Shiling people into the car now!" Mr. Shen, please cooperate with the police. ”

"Just go, you can still eat me? Lead the way! ”

Yu Zujia walked in front, and I strutted behind him, secretly bowed my head, and wiped the tears from my eyes.
