Chapter 5: The Exorcist Officer
Seeing Li Xiao driving the car so that he couldn't even see his shadow in a blink of an eye, Xiaoshan pouted and scratched his head, and said to the old ghost: "I suddenly thought that the boss might be a cultivator, maybe he was a cultivator in his infancy, so he returned to the basics, and the breath of his whole body was constricted, so we couldn't see his aura!"
"Back to the basics, it's. The old ghost muttered: "Once a cultivator reaches the Yuan Infant Stage, his every move has great power, unless he deliberately restricts his breath, there will be no such phenomenon as a natural return to the basics." If it is deliberately astringent, it will naturally be okay for two days a day, ten and a half months should be fine, and it may be barely possible in ten or eight years. But you've been with him for two hundred years, and when have you ever noticed that he suddenly exudes a terrifying aura?"
Xiaoshan shook his head and said, "No." β
"That's it, the tiger also has times when he dozes off, if he is really a master in the infant stage. I've been with you for more than 200 years, and how can I not show my feet at all?"
Xiao Shan rolled his eyes, then counted with his fingers, and said: "Old ghost, according to what you said, cultivators will experience the five realms of Chu Yuan, Pulp Washing, Gathering Crystal, Yuan Infant and Tribulation, and only by breaking through the realm of 'Breaking Tribulation' will this become a legendary immortal." The Yuan Infant Stage is only the fourth realm, is it considered a master?"
"You won't understand these things!" The old ghost shook his head and said in an old-fashioned manner: "There are actually no immortals in this world, don't be deceived by his books about gods and gods, the so-called immortals are just some guys with great power." Whether it's a cultivator, or a demon clan, or an orc, or an alien, I can't say anything, no matter which race, their cultivation is high, and they have great power, and ordinary people can't understand it, so they call them gods, immortals, or something. It's just a title, except that it's a little better than us, and it's essentially no different from us. β
"But the cultivator of the Yuan Infant Stage you are talking about, this is really a master. The cultivators in the Yuan Infant Stage are also like the demon clan in the Yudan Period. The monster that gave birth to the demon pill, don't you say it's powerful? So isn't the cultivator of the Yuan Infant Stage still not considered a master? As for the calamity, that's not to mention. The power of this world is governed by the laws of the universe. Once you break through the 'calamity' period, it means that you have broken through the shackles of the laws of the universe, and at that time, the laws of the universe will not have any constraints on these masters, that is, they will be similar to the legendary immortals. However, the laws of the universe are the basis for the existence of this world, and if you want to break through the laws of the universe, you will inevitably be counterattacked by the laws, which is the reason for the 'calamity'. β
"It is said that there are other realms above the 'Broken Tribulation', but those are not known to us. However, just in the Yuan Infant Stage, he can definitely be regarded as a master among cultivators. You must know that the cultivators of the Yuan Infant Stage already have the legendary ability to shatter the void. So as to break through the shackles of the space we are in, and reach a higher level of living space. The legends of those immortals who ascended from the flat ground that have been handed down from ancient times are actually the masters of the Yuan Infant Stage who shattered the void and reached other dimensions. As for the realm of 'calamity', there will be no such thing as the earth we live in, because the living space of the earth is not high, and there will be no strong people like zΓ i in our space, at most, it will only reach the primordial infant stage, and then it will shatter the void and reach other higher planes. β
Xiao Shan looked at the old ghost suspiciously, and said, "You old thing isn't fooling me, are you? You're just a hundred-year-old ghost of the Sixth Heaven of Qi Accumulation, how can you know so much?"
The old ghost sighed spolitely, and then said triumphantly: "No culture is terrible, let you read more books, you just don't listen." The so-called 'there is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book'. Alas, forget it, you and Li Xiao are two illiterates, one big and one small, and it's useless to talk to you. But you must know that although I am only the sixth heaven of the Qi Convergence Period, among the demon clans of the Qi Convergence Period, I am already a mid-level demon, and in the current world, I am considered very powerful!"
Xiaoshan frowned slightly, looked at the old ghost with a little ill-will, and asked suspiciously, "What is illiteracy?"
"Illiterate!" the old ghost grinned and was about to speak, when he saw Xiaoshan's expression, his brows jumped suddenly, and he said flatteringly: "The so-called 'illiterate' refers to the kind of person who is very smart, generally does not like to read, and will understand a lot. β
"Oh. Xiao Shan nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "Since there are cultivators in the Yuan Infant Stage who can shatter the Void, can the Demon Clan in the Dan Stage also shatter the Void?"
"Of course, not only the demon clan in the Dan stage can, but also the D-level supernatural and even the fourth-level orcs, their strength levels are the same. The old ghost waved his hand and said, "Forget it, don't talk about it." These are things that you will know sooner or later when you grow up. Now let's clean up this place first, the hill, bury these sausages in the soil with a soil trap, and then make a gust of wind to blow the ground...... No matter how I say it, I'm a hundred-year-old ghost, and I have a ** share in doing this kind of thing!"
"Come on, I'm still a mountain demon! In ancient times, others worshipped us as mountain gods!" Xiao Shan suddenly jumped on his shoulder, and raised a small face disdainfully: "It's all said in the book, ordinary wandering ghosts, ghosts, and ghosts are all under our command, how can I do this kind of thing?"
The old ghost said earnestly: "Xiaoshan, you are still young, so I don't know, the times are different, the cult of personality is not popular now, and now everyone respects the elderly." β
Xiaoshan's mouth was so pouting that he could hang an oil bottle, and shouted: "I am more than two hundred years old, and you are only in your early 100s, and you should listen to me if you want to respect the elderly." β
"But the two-hundred-year-old Yama is not yet an adult! The hundred-year-old ghost is different, you see, I am condensed. β
"If I don't do it, how can I let a minor do such a cruel thing. β
"Can you bear to let an old fellow like me do it?"
Of course, Li Xiao didn't know that this ghost and demon were pushing me lazy, he drove the car all the way, and soon came to the location that Officer Zhang said.
This is a rather lively commercial street, it is already two or three o'clock in the morning, but there are still many people lingering on the street, Li Xiao saw the flashing police lights from a distance. A large number of uniformed police officers have cordoned off the entire street, and many people are pointing and talking outside the cordon line.
Two police officers from outside the blockade line walked over, saw that it was Li Xiao, nodded very friendly and waved to let them go. Li Xiao is not a police officer, but as a special adviser to the police, he has helped the police solve many cases. Although most of the cases he was involved in were too bizarre to be kept as secret files, he still had a special place in the police force, and most police officers knew him.
Li Xiao drove the car directly, and next to a small alley in the middle of the street, several command cars were parked. Even the uniformed police were driven away here, and only a few senior plainclothes detectives were busy. As soon as Li Xiao came from the car, Zhang Biao, the head of the Hong Kong Police Special Operations Group, greeted him.
The Special Operations Unit is a very peculiar department, and in the public establishment of the police, this department does not exist. But within the police, the detectives of this department are very respected, and the officers of this department have special marks on their police cards, and they have a lot of special powers, even far beyond the senior detectives of the serious crime unit.
To be able to enter this department, in addition to abiding by strict confidentiality regulations, it is also necessary to have extraordinary skills and psychological qualities. As the leader of the group, Zhang Biao certainly has different skills, in fact, he himself was born in a family of Taoist cultivators, but unfortunately it has been passed on to his generation, and it is already a family education. However, against those low-level wild ghosts, ghosts and ghosts, etc., his innate weak spiritual power, as well as his family's ability to draw talismans and urns, are still very useful, not only enough to deal with these low-level demons, but also make his subordinates respect him like a god.
Li Xiao and Zhang Biao met, and it was four years ago. At that time, a local tycoon bought a piece of mountain land on the outskirts of Hong Kong and planned to develop it into an upscale villa area.
This mountainous area is backed by green mountains and has a good natural environment, but the geographical area is slightly remote, and the development cost and sales risk are correspondingly high, so it is not the first choice for investment in real estate. And in the mouths of the nearby villagers, it seems to be a "fierce land", with something unclean.
But this big man named Chu Xiaotian didn't believe in evil, and he didn't expect to start construction, and a lot of strange things happened one after another, and they spread widely. Chu Xiaotian was a little anxious when he saw it, Hong Kong people are superstitious, these gods and strange news are spread clearly, if the construction starts as planned, the investment is too large, and if it is not good, it will lose all its money. But just stop the work! But unwillingly, after a few days of headache, Boss Chu had a whim, decided to build a building first, and live in person for a period of time, and then hyped up, others saw that he was safe and sound, coupled with the celebrity effect, the developed real estate will naturally not worry about sales.
The intention is good, but unfortunately things are always unexpected. The house was built, and Boss Chu happily moved in. But before they could get a good night's sleep, they and their wife, who was now drunk in Li Xiao's car, that night, staged a disheveled "midnight run" with their wife, who was now drunk in Li Xiao's car.
Chu Xiaotian was frightened and fell seriously ill, but the matter was not over, since then, he has suffered from a strange disease, haunted by nightmares every night, and he is not at peace. invited countless monks and Taoists, exorcism and ghost hunting, and water and land conferences, and finally even the police were alarmed, and sent Zhang Biao, the leader of the special operations team who has repeatedly solved strange cases, to "solve the case".
It's a pity that this exorcism police officer's method didn't work this time, he first drew talismans, and then jumped to ask God, and even used his body as bait, and slept alone in the murderous house for a few nights, although he vaguely felt that it should be an evil spirit, but he couldn't see any clues. In the end, Officer Zhang Da, who was poor in donkey skills, simply carried a bucket of black dog blood mixed with the child's urine, and poured Boss Chu's head into a bloody man. Unexpectedly, this trick that is said to exorcise evil spirits and hunt ghosts has not only had no effect, but it made the sick Boss Chu even worse, and he almost hung up because of a severe cold. Chu Xiaotian's wife and sister were so angry that they pulled Zhang Biao, and the mop and broom slashed their heads and covered their faces, making this "strong Taoist" exorcist police officer run away with his head and rat, making a joke that was not big or small.
Poor Boss Chu saw that he was about to be tortured to death by this strange disease, and then he didn't know where to find out about Li Xiao, a private detective who was interested in anything strange, and invited him with the mentality of a dead horse as a live horse doctor. Li Xiao neither drew talismans to catch ghosts, nor did he exorcise evil spirits, but he followed him inseparably as a bodyguard for a few days, which is strange to say, and the nightmare no longer haunted him. In a few days, the sick Boss Chu miraculously got better, and he became a lively hero again.
Chu Xiaotian, who escaped death, didn't say a word, not only paid Li Xiao a large amount of honorarium, but also generously gave Li Xiao a villa worth several million.
Zhang Biao, who was swept out of the house with a disgraced face, saw that Li Xiao had solved this extremely tricky matter quietly, and couldn't help but be suspicious of him. So he set his eyes on Li Xiao, the number one suspect who "raised ghosts and harmed people", stalked, stalked, stalked, peeped, eavesdropped, and sneaked into his house several times. I searched and checked, but I couldn't find the slightest handle of this reputable private detective.
The last time, when Zhang Biao was masked and dressed in black, he sneaked into Li Xiao's room and rummaged through the cabinets, he arranged for his subordinates to be outside to see that nothing was wrong, and ran to the night stall on the side of the road to order a box of supper. Coincidentally, Li Xiao happened to go home early that night, and poor Officer Zhang Da was unfortunately blocked in the house.
Appearing in someone else's house in the middle of the night, and wearing clothes that only show two eyes, what else is there to say? Faced with the master who wants to arrest the night thief, Zhang Biao heroically chose to resist. Unexpectedly, he, who has always boasted of his good skills, was thrown to the ground like a dead dog with three punches and two feet.
However, in this way, Zhang Biao, who had a blue nose and swollen face, dispelled his suspicions about Li Xiao. Because this just eliminated one of the biggest doubts in Zhang Biao's mind. After investigating Li Xiao for several months, Zhang Biao had secretly cast several small spells on Li Xiao to follow him, and without exception, all of these small spells failed on Li Xiao's body.
As far as he knew, when this situation occurred, it was either because the other party's occult skills were profound, far beyond his own. Either the other party's life is peculiar, and he is born with a deep evil spirit, and all laws will not invade. However, there are very few cases like the latter, it can be said that there is no one in ten thousand, Zhang Biaocai does not believe that his luck will be so good, and any suspect will meet this kind of legendary strange person. It is precisely because of this that although Li Xiao's actions are not suspicious at all, Zhang Biao still suspects that he is a master of Taoism who raises ghosts and harms people.
But Li Xiao's violent beating dispelled his last doubts. Li Xiao's fists and feet are full of internal strength, and he has the taste of the legendary master of the inner family, Zhang Biao, who grinned in pain, finally remembered that the cultivation of Chinese martial arts and Taoism is very similar in some aspects, both sides are building the foundation in the way of refining qi, a top master of the inner family, when his internal strength is cultivated to a certain Cheng dΓΉ, the true qi in the body is sufficient, Yuanyang is prosperous, and the natural poison is not invaded, and the evil is easy to dispel, and it is really the most normal for these Taoist techniques that only belong to the inferior ones to work on him.
This also just explains why Li Xiao was able to solve Boss Chu's problem lightly. Although the yin spirit is terrifying, it is only for ordinary people, if the internal strength is profound, there is a faint atmosphere of Taoist masters gathering three flowers, and the natural evil spirit is not frightened and runs away.
In fact, the bigger reason why Zhang Biao decided that Li Xiao was a master of martial arts was that he was subconsciously unwilling to accept the fact that Li Xiao was too much higher than him in Taoism. At least qigong and martial arts are accepted by modern people, and Taoism, don't mean that it is difficult to find a teacher, there is no such thing as a master, and most people just attribute it to a kind of superstition. Zhang Biao's Taoism comes from family tradition, looking at Li Xiao's age and him, if Li Xiao's Taoism is much more advanced than him, this kind of thing is too shocking.
Anyway, the two don't know each other if they don't fight, and they have become good friends because of this. Later, Zhang Biao even figured out a special way to recruit Li Xiao, a "fist and foot expert" who is already unattainable in modern times, to his command, but unfortunately Li Xiao did not want to be controlled, so he was recommended by Zhang Biao to serve as a special adviser to the police.
