[283] Campus murder
Chu Zhentang didn't stay long in Courtyard 36, and after about half an hour, he left with Chu Yu.
The main purpose of his visit today was to thank Mo Yan and get closer to each other by the way, and after achieving these two purposes, he didn't mention a word of superfluous words.
In fact, the matter of Yunluo Dao Palace became a little subtle and even sensitive at this time.
There is no other reason, in fact, it can be summed up in one sentence, everything is caused by Danshu!
Du Que, Zhang Changqing, Qi Yuanshan and others came because of the Danshu, Chu Zhentang's intention, although it was mostly due to official duties, but as a monk, how could he turn a blind eye to the Danshu?
In addition, when Qi Yuanshan and the others are 'wiped out' by the Land Security Bureau, the news about Danshu will inevitably begin to spread to more levels, and it will no longer be limited to the descendants of the Daomen!
Faced with the temptation of immortality, monks can't refuse, let alone ordinary people......
Therefore, when the small team led by Fang Zheng and Chu Zhentang reached some agreement with Qi Yuanshan and other monks, the title of Danshu immediately became sensitive.
In short, the matter about Danshu seems to have come to an end at present, but there are still undercurrents surging around it. Moreover, it is no longer confined to the descendants of the Daomen, but more people are involved.
But for Mo Yan, this matter has completely ended. What other people do or think has nothing to do with him......
In the past two days, he has been working hard to refine the ornament, hoping to enter the other world again as soon as possible.
But the things in cultivation have always been the work of water mills. It needs to be grinded little by little, and you can't be in a hurry.
Mo Yan originally thought that as long as time permitted, he would be able to completely refine the ornament in one go, but halfway through the refining, he found that he needed to stop and rest for a while......
"You're not crazy, aren't you?"
In the backyard, the black cat looked at the ornament on Mo Yan's chest and said, "What kind of treasure is this?" Is it worth it for you to spend a lot of blood to refine it? You're such a madman...... Essence blood is the origin of human beings, and consuming so much essence blood in a short period of time, aren't you afraid of damaging the foundation? ”
These two days. When Mo Yan refined and wore ornaments, he did not deliberately avoid her.
The black cat is still very useful in her heart, which shows that Mo Yan still has a lot of trust in her. Therefore, when she saw Mo Yan reluctant to refine this ornament with essence blood day and night, she couldn't help but remind.
Mo Yan stretched his waist rarely, and said with a smile: "Thank you for the reminder, in fact, I don't need you to say it, I also know it's time to rest......"
The black cat said, "What kind of treasure is this ornament of yours?" ”
Mo Yan smiled: "A door, a door to other worlds......"
This sentence must have been confusing when it fell on other people's ears, but the black cat was not, and said in surprise: "You mean...... Is it a magic weapon? ”
Forthwith. She shook her head decisively and said, "Impossible! Even the ancient things of Yunluo Dao Palace can't be called a magic weapon of the Cave Heaven, and this little ornament of yours is even more impossible! ”
Mo Yan smiled: "I didn't say that it was a magic weapon of the Cave Heaven, and I won't tell you what kind of existence it is." Actually, I don't know. ”
He was not lying......
Until now, he was still unsure what kind of existence this ornament was.
The magic weapon of the cave?
There is a possibility of this...... However, the space that exists in the Cave Heaven Magic Weapon is actually just a realm, unlike the other world, which presents a complete and independent world. Otherwise, why should it be called Dongtian?
Furthermore. The realm within the Cave Heaven Treasure is real, in other words, it is a space that is independent of the real world. It can nourish all things in heaven and earth, can be used for cultivation, and can be used to live at home.
However, the other world is half-real and half-imaginary, and can only be lived in by spirits, and from this point of view, its level should be far inferior to that of the Cave Heaven Magic Weapon. However, it can be upgraded, not only to the real world, but also to a complete world with mountains, water, and oceans! From this point of view, at least in terms of the potential to advance, it seems to be superior to the Cave Heaven Magic Weapon!
"Alright, you don't have to think about its roots......"
Mo Yan saw the curiosity in the black cat's eyes, and said with a smile: "After I have completely refined it, please come in as a guest." ”
He said this from the bottom of his heart. Speaking of which, this black cat's knowledge is much higher than his, and if she is willing to go in, she may see some clues.
The black cat pouted and said, "I won't go in, who knows what the hell is inside?" ”
Mo Yan smiled: "Are you scared? ”
The black cat said as a matter of course: "You have a bad stomach, I am naturally afraid of ......"
"Daddy isn't a bad guy...... Sister Shanyue, you are not allowed to say that about Dad. ”
Yun Luo, who was playing by the pond, heard this and immediately retorted with a grudge.
The black cat looked defeated and said, "I was wrong, I was wrong...... It's really terrible, as soon as there is a quarrel, the father and daughter will go into battle together, you are bullying! ”
Yun Luo said solemnly: "As long as you don't speak ill of your father, it's not uncommon for people to quarrel with you." Yunluo is a good baby......"
………………………………
In the past few days, Du Que has lived in a hut in the orchard on the outskirts of Wanling City, and has hardly slept well.
He had been waiting for Mo Yan's call, but the call never came.
"Could it be that something happened to Mr. Mo?"
"No, no, he is a true monk who has broken through the heavens, and even the danger of the Fairy Pond is also said to come, and he will go when he says, how can something happen?"
"Or maybe he's found a better alchemist than me?"
Du Que suffered from gains and losses, his mind was uncertain, and his mind was full of things about the Dan Book......
It's no wonder that he is so anxious, after all, he is old, and the time to stay in this world is really running out. The most important thing is that alchemy does not happen overnight. It also takes time to collect medicinal herbs, alchemy, and raise pills. After shaving away all these necessary time, he was really worried, with his lifespan, could he really wait for the day when Dancheng was born?
For the past few days, he has done almost nothing else, just staring at his phone.
Fortunately, Mo Yan didn't let him wait all the time, the fourth day since the last call. Du Que finally received a call from Mo Yan.
"Yes, yes, I've already found a place for alchemy. In the middle of a fruit grove on the outskirts of the city, the place is remote and quiet enough to not be disturbed by outsiders. ”
"Okay. Okay, I'll be right over ......."
After receiving Mo Yan's call, Du Que rushed to No. 36 Courtyard non-stop, and at this time he learned that Mo Yan lived at the foot of Hulu Mountain.
Mo Yan entertained Du Que in the backyard.
As soon as he entered the backyard, Du Que felt that the aura of heaven and earth here was even richer than outside.
He was both surprised and delighted, and said, "Mr. Mo, with all due respect, your aura here seems to be much thicker than outside!" ”
Mo Yan said: "Du Lao also felt it? That's right, the aura of heaven and earth here is about twice as thick as outside...... But. For us monks, this is not a big improvement. Unless there is a tenfold concentration, it is barely enough. ”
Du Que said: "Mr. Mo, please forgive me for saying that what you said is neither right nor right. ”
Mo Yanqi said: "How do you say this? ”
Du Que said excitedly: "In terms of cultivation." This bit of aura really doesn't have much effect, but when it is used for alchemy, it is a great tonic! With more than double the aura of heaven and earth, the appearance and medicinal properties of the elixir after refining can be increased by at least three percent! Most importantly, with enough aura. It can shorten the time of alchemy, according to my estimates, it can save at least a third of the time! ”
He couldn't help but rejoice in his heart, but he forgot that the time saved was only meaningful to himself.
Mo Yan smiled and said, "Hearing you say this, it's really good news." ”
Du Que immediately sensed the inappropriateness in his words, and his old face suddenly turned red, and said, "Seeing and laughing, it really made Mr. Mo laugh...... A little selfishness, please don't mind Mr. Mo. ”
Mo Yan smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just human nature......
Seeing that Mo Yan didn't mean to be surprised, Du Que couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Mr. Mo, why is your aura here stronger than other places?" If you can, I hope you can agree with me to open the furnace for alchemy here......"
After a slight pause, he explained: "Please believe that the benefits I just mentioned, except for the fact that I am a little selfish in terms of time, the other benefits are real, and there is no lie. ”
Mo Yan nodded and said, "I know you're not lying, but I'm sorry, this is my private house, and it's impossible to lend you alchemy." ”
When Du Que heard this, he couldn't help but look disappointed.
He gritted his teeth, intending to continue pleading with a shy old face, but he heard Mo Yan say, "But you don't have to be disappointed, this problem is actually not unsolvable...... You come with me. ”
As he spoke, Mo Yan walked to the wooden pavilion, moved the seat away, and directly uncovered the movable wooden plank at the bottom of the wooden pavilion.
"The reason why my aura here is stronger than other places is because of this Spirit Gathering Array. This Spirit Gathering Array was originally used to gather spirit cultivation pills, but now in addition to increasing a little spiritual energy, it actually doesn't have much use. You can take it back and place it in the alchemy place of your choice......"
Du Que looked at the Spirit Gathering Array, his whole body trembled with excitement, and said, "Mr. Mo, can I really bring it back?" ”
Mo Yan smiled: "Don't forget, Elder Du, I also have a share of the pill you are going to refine, and I should make some efforts......
Du Que's excitement was not entirely because the problem of aura had been solved, but also because of the shock of seeing the 'artifact' after seeing the spirit gathering array!
After the bottom plate of the wooden pavilion was revealed, an even richer aura rushed to his face, and the seemingly plain but actually mysterious lines of the body of the Spirit Gathering Array grabbed Du Que's mind in an instant!
"It's actually a long-lost Spirit Gathering Array!"
Du Que couldn't help but lose his temper, leaned down, trembled his hands, and gently stroked the array plate......
Mo Yan coughed lightly and said, "Old Du, after you bring this array back, you have time to study it, so you don't have to rush it." ”
Du Que woke up immediately, and his old face flushed and said, "See you laughing, see laughing...... I've lived for such an age, and it's the first time I've seen such a long-lost magical circle, and I'm out of shape for a while. Please don't be surprised by Mr. Mo. ”
Mo Yan smiled, put the movable wooden plank back in its place, and then took out the copy of the Danshu that had been prepared long ago.
"Old Du, I still have something to do later, so I'll make a long story short."
"This is the Dan book I traced from a cliff on the outskirts of Yunluo Dao Palace, you take it back and study it. If you find any problems, please contact me by phone. Let's solve it together. ”
"In addition, if you encounter any problems in the collection of medicinal herbs. Please let me know as well. Especially those heaven and earth spiritual objects that may be used, maybe I can help a little......"
………………………………
Half an hour later, Du Que left Courtyard No. 36 with a copy of the Dan book.
Wait until he leaves. The black cat ghostly appeared behind Mo Yan and said, "You actually traced this Dan Dao General Outline?" ”
Mo Yan turned around and said, "What do you have to say?" ”
The black cat shook his head and said, "Where do I have any advice...... You just don't think this thing will do much to you, right? Especially the longevity pill you just mentioned, it can only extend the life of a jiazi, and it is also the lifespan of ordinary people, so it has no effect on you at all. ”
Mo Yan smiled and said, "Don't forget, I didn't jump out of the cracks in the stones. This thing is useless to me, but it is of great use to my loved ones. ”
The black cat pursed her lips and said, "I can understand your feelings, but do you think this is really useful?" It may be a good option for your loved ones to live a few more decades. But for you, the extra is decades of suffering...... Mortals are mortals after all, and one day they will leave you. The longer they live, the more reluctant you become, and over time, it will even affect your Dao heart. Say something you don't like to hear. Rather than this, it is better to let it be, let what should come come, and let what should go go......"
When Mo Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be silent.
After a moment, he nodded and sighed, "You're right, I'm really too persistent at this point. ”
After a slight pause, he said: "However, I also do this for a reason, not just to let my relatives live for a few more decades." ”
The black cat said strangely: "What is the reason?" ”
Mo Yan smiled, a slight glint in his eyes, and said, "I'll tell you this later!" ”
The arrogant attribute of the black cat flares up again, and he said disdainfully: "Cut, pretend to be a ghost, you don't say it rarely, I don't hear it rarely......"
Mo Yan laughed and was about to speak, but the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He took out his mobile phone and looked at the number, immediately pressed the call button, and said with a smile: "Leader, I haven't seen you for a long time, why did you remember to call me?" ”
The person who called was Du Xiaoyin, and said, "I just received a case, I think you might be interested." ”
Mo Yan smiled: "I might be interested?" Leader, you're too sure of that, aren't you? ”
Du Xiaoyin smiled: "It's not that I'm arbitrary, but there are factors in this case that interest you...... Want to know what the factors are? ”
Mo Yan smiled: "I'll guess, huh...... Is it a beauty? ”
Du Xiaoyin said angrily: "You are really getting more and more unserious, tell you the right thing." ”
Mo Yan said: "Okay, no kidding, let's talk about it, what kind of amazing case is it?" ”
When the two were talking, the black cat Shanyue was behind Mo Yan, pricking up her ears to listen.
If you want to say what is the most curious creature in the world, it must be the cat......
"Solve the case? Sounds interesting......
The black cat blinked and listened to Mo Yan and Du Xiaoyin's obedience in his ears.
The case Du Xiaoyin mentioned has actually caused considerable commotion in Wanling and even in Province A.
"Do you know that A is big? That's where this case happened......" Du Xiaoyin said.
Mo Yan nodded and said, "I know, the cabbage is studying in it." ”
In fact, it was not only Kale who studied at University A, but Mei Qingqian, who recovered from her illness, also chose this university.
Du Xiaoyin said: "I know that Kale is studying at A University, and I met her when I was investigating the scene......
After a slight pause, she continued to talk about the case, and said: "Actually, what I just said is not accurate. Strictly speaking, this is not a single case, but a series of vicious cases. Of course, there are still some differences on this point of view. ”
"The case was initially taken over by the city bureau, and four days ago, a foreign student was murdered on the South Campus of University A, and after a preliminary investigation, it was concluded that it was murder. But after the media intervened, they inadvertently unearthed a more interesting news. In the past seven months, a total of seven students have died on the University A campus, an average of one per month. Some of these students died by suicide or by accident......"
"In terms of frequency, especially for a university, it's kind of weird how often these deaths are high. In addition, some media have always been silent and endless, and after several reports, some people have linked these deaths to this murder. Of course, the media does not make a direct connection, but explores the so-called deep roots......"
"You know, as soon as the media makes a noise, the government has to pay attention. Coupled with some irresponsible tabloids and gossip, gradually, the whole thing began to develop towards supernatural events...... With the sociality and sensitivity high enough, the students of University A began to panic, so the case was transferred to seven places. ”
"After the seven departments took over, they immediately launched an investigation. Judging from the clues gathered so far, this murder should be completely independent. There is no direct correlation with the deaths in previous months. ”
"You know, the Seven Divisions have always been evidence-based, and at first I thought it was a separate case. However, after I went through the previous reports of deaths, I changed my mind. ”
"Evidence? No, I found no direct evidence, and as far as the reports were concerned, the deaths were indeed accidents or suicides, with no sign of murder. However, while I was looking through the photos, I found an interesting tattoo on the body of one of the deceased......" (To be continued.
