I reached out to shake the woman's hand, and felt that her hands were extremely cold, and there were calluses between her fingers, obviously she was also a practitioner.

Although I have been in the Religious Affairs Bureau for many years, I am still relatively unfamiliar with the profession of Gu Master after all, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the scourge of witchcraft has continued, and the restrictions on this thing in all dynasties and dynasties are very strict, once discovered, it will be banned and cracked down immediately, so that although the profession of Gu Master is heard in the Miao Xinjiang area, there are not many people who really know about it; The second is that after the founding of New China, the four olds were broken several times, and these people were affected again, most of them lived in seclusion in the mountains and forests, and few of them could come out to help the government, and some of them had hatred, and more of them were like Nur's master and mother-in-law, who did not care about the world.

Although Nuer was born in a Miao village, Master Snake Mother-in-law is also an authentic Gu master, but he is not a Gu cultivator, although he understands the method of prevention, but he still relies more on the stick in his hand to act, and he is not very willing to talk about these things with others, even if it is me, he will be silent and will not talk much.

Everyone has their own things that they don't want others to know, even if it's the best friend, this is a taboo in the Miao family, and I know it very well, so I don't take the initiative to mention it to Nur on weekdays.

In this way, except for the mysterious and unpredictable boss Xu Yingyu, this Yi woman with a very nice name is the first Gu master I came into contact with.

The two exchanged a few words, and I could feel that Ailo Zi was curious about me, which naturally benefited from the recent remarks circulated by the General Bureau, although I was above the court, but where there were people, there were rivers and lakes, and as an elite department such as the special service group of the Operations Department, it has always been a place of legend and curiosity for others, I heard Zhao Zhonghua tell me last time, and now someone has given the three team leaders of the Operations Department nicknames, and the previous arrangement will put Zhao Chengfeng and me side by side, called the Black Hand Twin Cities, This statement is a bit of a meaning of the Jinling twin weapons of Master Mohan and Yang Dazi, the reason why it is called Shuangcheng, there is also an allusion here.

It is rumored that when Qian Xuesen, a world-famous scientist, aerodynamicist, and the founder of China's manned space flight, returned to China, the Americans were shocked, saying that Qian Xuesen could be worth five divisions, which was groundless, and I don't know whether it was true or false, but later the success of two bombs and one star proved that this remark was more than enough, and those who had good things in the industry put this allusion to me and Zhao Chengfeng.

I don't know where this statement came from, at first it was just a joke in private, but then it was heard in the ears of a certain bigwig in the General Bureau, and it was affirmed, so it was put on the surface.

In the nineties, Mr. Jin Yong's martial arts novels in Hong Kong have swept the Chinese world, one of which is called "Dragon Babu", which says that "North Qiao Feng, South Murong" is popular, so everyone doesn't feel abrupt, but there are two people who don't like this very much, the first is the party Zhao Chengfeng, the so-called "black hand twin cities", but derived from my previous notoriety "black hand Chen", he is naturally dissatisfied, and the other person is Huang Yangshen, who is also the head of the special service team, these heroes, Counting and counting has nothing to do with him, even if he is indifferent to fame and fortune, won't he be congested when he listens?

This matter was later corrected, the "Black Hand Twin Cities" only refers to me Chen Zhicheng, and Zhao Chengfeng received another name, called "Sleeve Hand Twin Cities", as for Huang Yangshen, there is still no gangster name, and he can't express his dissatisfaction, so he is even more aggrieved.

Others say that I am a "black hand", I don't mind too much, sometimes, I am afraid that it is also a kind of respect, as for Zhao Chengfeng's "sleeve and twin cities", listening to my ears, it is somewhat ironic.

The leader of a special operations group was said to be "long-sleeved and good at dancing", which was a bit ridiculous no matter how he said it.

Back then, I was just a poor boy in a mountain village, but now I have become a legend in the eyes of others, such a situation is not unusual, but I have already taken it lightly, and invited Ayilozi to the office to introduce the situation to me, Nur and Xu calmly.

In the case of the locust plague in Dongying, the person who raised objections was this young woman, who went to the disaster area twice to investigate and wrote an analysis report of more than 20,000 words, which attracted the attention of the General Administration and planned for us to investigate.

The woman with long braids told us a corollary, that is, from last year to this year's spring and autumn seasons, she found a problem, that is, the other party may be using the large-scale locust plague to spread and refine a mysterious Gu worm.

I looked at Nur the same, I don't know much about this matter, and Nur is an expert, Nur understood what I meant, and asked: "As far as I know, there should be no one in this world who can mobilize and control such a wide range of locust movements, and there will be no such refining methods, what do you think the poisonous Gu prepared by the other party is still what?" "

As soon as Nur asked, Ayilozi knew that he should be an insider, and immediately explained: "I can't be sure, because I have never encountered such a situation, and everything is completely based on speculation, but you are one thing wrong, that is, there are people with this ability in this world, in fact, there are still people, and all kinds of means of smell, magnetic field, and mother worm are all feasible; And in my speculation, the other party should be refining some kind of spirit Gu, or accelerating the cultivation of some kind of Gu worm - only the rarest Gu worm would need so many locusts and dead souls to cultivate."

Ayilozi talked to us for a long time in the office, explaining this possible danger, saying that if the other party succeeded, then the danger would be the greatest, and it would probably form a great plague, and as long as it fell into the hands of careerists, it would probably not be much worse than the Black Death, which ran rampant in the Middle Ages and led to the deaths of tens of millions of people, and the Black Death was just an alchemical by-product of the dark forces of the Middle Ages.

Although I don't think that in today's society where the level of medical and health care is relatively developed, there is any possibility of realizing Ailozi's alarmism, but since she has already talked about the danger so strictly, and the above attaches so much importance to it, and if we are lazy, I am afraid that we will be criticized for our attitude, so after understanding, I gathered everyone in the special service group, explained the situation, and then told everyone that everyone is off work today and concentrates on handling family affairs. Then we will depart tomorrow and head to Dongying City, Ludong Province.

Recently, there have been quite few cases, and most of the members of the special service team have been practicing at the training base all summer, and when they heard that there was a mission, several young people like Buyu and Little White Fox couldn't help cheering, and even Lin Hao, who had been quite silent after being discharged from the hospital, also smiled.

After the announcement, I found Xu Danding and asked him that Xiao Qianjin was not yet one year old, and his wife Luo Lan needed to be taken care of, should he stay in Kyoto and not go out on duty?

Xu shook his head calmly and said with a smile: "No, since it's a big operation, I'm definitely going to go." "

I nodded and said no more. I recently heard that Xu Tanding's father-in-law and mother-in-law have been urging him to transfer his post and engage in civilian work, and no longer charge at the front line. This matter is also reasonable, after all, after Xu Danding got married, he had a lot of worries, and Luo Lan's family was quite afraid after understanding the danger of his work, so they mentioned it to him, I heard that Xu Danding's father-in-law was going to operate him to France as a diplomatic attaché, and the greetings from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had already reached the General Bureau.

Deputy Director Song personally talked to Xu Danding and asked for opinions, but was vetoed by Xu Danding, and the General Administration also felt that my junior talent was rare, so he didn't let go.

However, although this matter was blocked back, I knew that Xu Danding was under a lot of pressure, and his wife's family made repeated troubles, which was enough for him.

I don't like to ask about other people's family affairs, after Xu calmly expressed his attitude, I didn't persuade him anymore, let him get off work, and then sorted out the equipment and materials with Nuer, when talking about this Yi woman who was strengthened to our group, Nuer rarely affirmed it, saying that she is indeed a capable person, and whether it is thinking or experience, it is very different from the old school Gu master, more good at logical thinking, and looking at problems from the perspective of modern science, after this time, if you can recruit it to us, which can be regarded as being able to make up for the shortcomings.

I couldn't help but smile bitterly at Noor's suggestion: "This kind of beautiful thing, it's just a thought, don't look at her young age, you have to know that she is now a promising associate professor in the university, where will she come to suffer with us?" "

Everyone has their own ambitions, and this matter cannot be forced, but Nur is willing to try to convince her, I saw Noor's positive attitude, and suddenly felt a little uneasy in my heart, so I asked him: "Speaking of witch Gu, don't we have you in our special service team?" "

Nur smiled and didn't speak, he was a very boring person, he could talk if he wanted to, he didn't want to speak, he couldn't talk all day, and the conversation was over at the moment, so he didn't talk much.

The next day we took the train to Ludong Province, booked a soft sleeper box, the train journey was about six to seven hours, everyone was familiar with the case in the carriage, I gave a small meeting to everyone, and then went to the restaurant alone. The train was as crowded as ever, and as I passed by a carriage, I suddenly heard someone say, "Do you know, there was a locust plague in Dongying last week, and seven more people died?"
