Early the next morning, Youfu came to the guest house, saw Xue Daochan and said apologetically: "Mr. Xue, the director of the State Administration of Religious Affairs has confirmed your identity, please bear with me for the abruptness last night." ”

"As a public security officer, you should always be vigilant and do the right thing, I have something to tell you," Xue Daochan said, "I went to see Professor She last night, and it turned out that someone was ordered to sleep on the bed in his room, and the professor himself was gone." ”

"Oh, who's that bed?" Youfu was surprised.

"It's your brother, Mayor Guo Youcai."

Youfu glanced at Xue Daochan suspiciously, and hurriedly came to the front desk to call Youcai's house, which was answered by Ruhua and told him that Youcai was still sleeping.

"Sister-in-law, call him to answer the phone, there is something urgent." Youfu hurriedly urged.

"Hey, you're rich, it's early in the morning," came Youcai's lazy voice from the earpiece.

"You were ordered last night?"

"Yes, Mr. Xue woke me up, or I wouldn't be able to explain to your sister-in-law."

"Did Professor She do it?"

"It's just the two of us in the house, who else can there be if it's not him?"

"What did you all talk about?"

"Youfu," Youcai's mood rose suddenly, "You didn't attend the meeting of the serious crime team held by the county party committee yesterday, and your father-in-law finally admitted that there was a ghost." ”

"You go into details."

Youcai told Secretary Qin's speech with great interest on the other end of the phone.

"Are you saying that Secretary Qin told all the causes of Guo Erxi's death?"

"That's it, anyway, it's the chief, and they have nothing to do with their father-in-law, but the leaders of the Criminal Investigation Bureau still require everyone to keep it strictly confidential."

"Then you told Professor She?"

"Oh, brother forgot." Youcai slapped his head and shouted.

"And what about Professor She's people now?"

"I slept and didn't know anything."

Youfu put down the phone, who is this Professor She, and why does he want to get the meeting of the serious crime team? The chief was involved in it, and he was a high-level person, and he vaguely felt that the situation was serious.

Youfu hurried to Secretary Qin's house, he was having breakfast, and was surprised when he heard Youfu's report.

"What about this Professor She?" He frowned.

"I left the guest house in the middle of the night and didn't know where to go." Youfu replied cautiously.

"This matter should not be quiet, for now, it is necessary to brake quietly, and it is wise to protect yourself." Secretary Qin told him.

"Why are you lying to me that your father is Professor She, and the 'Thirteen Needles of the Ghost Gate' is your family's ancestor?" In the guest house, Xue Daochan felt that there were still some questions that needed to be clarified before he could start his own plan, so he continued to interrogate Youliang.

"Alas, aren't you afraid that you will kill me, besides, if you find Professor She, I may be able to rescue Erya." Arira pretended to be timid.

"You like that girl?"

Arira nodded.

"Okay, the two of us cooperated, and after finding Professor She, I have to devour the needle, and the second girl will be yours, how about it?" Xue Daochan directly picked out and said.

"Of course I do." Arirashi hurriedly replied, thinking that he had finally survived another catastrophe.

"Mr. Xue, there is a question I don't understand, what is the purpose of the medicine king Sun Simiao's 'devouring needle', it is worth looking for so many people in all dynasties."

Xue Daozen pondered for a moment and said: "Let's put it this way, in addition to humans, there are other creatures living in the earthly world, among which the animals that have cultivated the Tao are called 'demons', and the souls that still stay in the yang world after death are called 'ghosts' or 'corpses'. Due to ideological constraints, although the government does not recognize it on the surface, there are still many people among the officials who are individuals, and there are demons and corpses among them. ”

"Are you saying that some demons or corpses are officials?"

Of course, after they attained enlightenment, they became people and formed a family, and because of their special functions, they were more comfortable in their work, so they were promoted much faster than ordinary officials. Relatives are kept in the dark because they don't know his true identity, but there are signs to follow. ”

"What signs?"

"It's that they will inevitably retain some of the original habits, such as demons, out of animal instinct, so they like to comb their hair or have promiscuous sex with the opposite sex, and most of them use the 'old man's cart' method when mating."

"What is the 'old man's cart'?" Youliang is puzzled.

Xue Daochan glared at him: "You are still young, there is no need to know the Dao now." ”

"Oh," Arira remembered the dead Li Lin, so he said, "Some demons will still retain their original body odor." ”

"Of course, this is also one of the ways to identify, and they are more indifferent to human life and never care about the life and death of the people, because they belong to different species."

"What about war, a battle is thousands of dead people, will there be a lot of demons and corpses among those generals?" Arara suddenly thought.

Of course, like Napoleon, Hitler and Hideki Tojo in foreign countries, there are also Chinese dynasties, and the most famous in modern times is Zhang Xianzhong, the leader of the peasant rebel army, Tu Chuan is an example. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Shu had a total population of 4 million, and he slaughtered 3 million people, so there was a large-scale immigration of 'Huguang filling Sichuan' in the early Qing Dynasty. He was very fond of cannibalism, saying that women's foot-bound feet tasted far better than pig's trotters. ”

"What kind of demon is he?" Arara was curious.

"Zhang Xianzhong has a long body and a golden face, so he is called the 'Yellow Tiger', and the last is the Qing general Haoge's subordinates who shoot him with arrows."

"It turned out to be a tiger demon, so brutal is definitely a big devil."

"Not to mention the devil, he is a 'nightmare'." Xue Daochan said.

"Nightmare?" Youliang heard Master Liu 13 say the allusion of "Nine Demons and One Nightmare", it seems that once this thing appears, the people will suffer.

"It's a pity, if the Medicine King hadn't hidden the 'Devouring Needle' back then, he would have been able to get rid of these nightmares as soon as possible." Xue Daochan sighed.

There was a move in his conscience, and he hurriedly asked: "What can kill the nightmare for the devouring needle?" ”

Xue Daochan glanced at him, diverted the topic and said, "We have to find out where Professor She went now. ”

Soon after breakfast, Youfu came to the guest house again and asked Mr. Xue about his plans.

"Is there any news of Professor She?" Xue Daochan asked.

"No, it is estimated that he has already gone to the capital, and the State Administration of Cultural Heritage is about to conduct a scientific appraisal of the ancient corpses in the sarcophagus, and he is an authoritative expert in this regard."

"We are about to return to Yuncheng, there is still a lot of research work to be completed, this time I am very grateful to Comrade Youfu for his enthusiastic arrangement, we will meet later." After Xue Daochan said goodbye, he left the guest house with Youliang and went directly to the bus station.

Looking at their backs, although Youfu still had many questions in his heart, Secretary Qin had already explained, and he still didn't want to make any extraneous branches for the time being.

Recently, there has been chaos in Beijing, and many students have set up camp in Tiananmen Square to protest and demonstrate to the government, demanding punishment for economic corruption such as the "overthrow of officials."

Experts from the State Administration of Cultural Heritage are concentrated in the bureau and are using carbon 14 to measure the ancient corpse of Fenglingdu.

Carbon-14 is a radioactive isotope of carbon whose age is inferred from the residual carbon-14 components of a dead organism. Organisms need to breathe when they are alive, and the amount of carbon 14 in their bodies is roughly unchanged, and once they die and stop breathing, they begin to decrease year by year.

The final result made all scientists stunned, the suspected "Wind Queen" ancient corpse in the Fenglingdu moonlight sarcophagus died only a little more than a month ago, that is, he had just died.

After repeated measurements, the values were always the same, and the conclusion was that this "ancient corpse" was by no means the remains of the wind more than 5,000 years ago. So who could he be? The experts dissected it and were surprised to find that the internal structure of the corpse was somewhat different from that of humans, especially in the neck, and the small parasite larvae that had died were also detected, and the number was staggering.

Professor She never appeared, and he really seemed to be missing.

When Xue Daochan and Youliang heard that Professor She had not appeared at the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, they felt that something was wrong.

"He must have met with Sun Yifeng and Erya somewhere, but where would they be?" Xue Daochan muttered to himself.

The two stood on Chaoyangmen North Street, looking at the State Administration of Cultural Heritage building, speculating on Professor She's whereabouts.

"Mr. Xue" Youliang's teeth gurgled in his mouth, and then he trembled and withered on the sidewalk, and the "Yin Eating Needle" attacked again.

Arira curled up in a ball, with a layer of hoarfrost on his eyebrows and hair, and the pedestrians on the road gathered around him, looking at him in surprise.

"This is the legendary 'ALS', right?" Some speculated.

Xue Daochan was taken aback when he saw this, and hurriedly leaned over to look, and found that his body was as cold as ice and had been frozen, so he hurriedly pressed his palm against the back of Youliang's heart, and injected internal force into it to protect his heart.

No matter how much true qi was urged, it disappeared without a trace in an instant like a mud cow entering the sea, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and hurriedly withdrew his palm.

"Everyone, I'm a doctor." A middle-aged man came to him from the crowd, he opened Arira's eyelids and looked at the light reaction of his pupils, and found that this person was almost dying.

"Hurry up and stop the car and send it to the hospital!" The man said urgently.

Someone immediately stopped a car and took Youliang, Xue Daochan and the enthusiastic doctor to Union Hospital.

In the emergency room, the medical staff was surprised to find that the patient's other vital signs had almost disappeared, only the heart was still beating vigorously and vigorously, and there was no idea how to save it for a while.

"Don't inject epinephrine for the time being, and continue to observe for a while." The emergency room doctor said with a frown.

Xue Daochan silently stared at Youliang on the first aid table, not knowing what was wrong with him, but he understood that this was definitely not an ordinary disease, but related to the aura in his body, otherwise the true qi he infused into would not have disappeared out of thin air like this.
