Chapter 55: The Man Who Was

Although the person in front of him was covered with the lower half of his face, he could vaguely tell from his voice and eyebrows that he was a young man.

There are many experts among the many professors, and they are not puzzled to know the exquisiteness, but the person in front of him actually knows it, but it is a little strange.

"You're not from this village, are you?"

Facing Zhao Qi's inquiry, this person nodded:

"I'm an explorer and my biggest hobby is traveling.

Today, I was just passing by here, and I accidentally saw this tomb, and I thought it was a little strange, so I came to take a look.

None of the graves here have any trees blooming, except for this new one, which I don't understand. ”

As he spoke, the man seemed to realize that he was still masked and that he was not polite, so he quickly pulled down the windproof face towel.

But the moment he saw this face, Zhao Qi was instantly stunned.

At that moment, it was as if he had crossed time again, returning to the future he had experienced.

This face was all too familiar to him, and the memories related to it were deeply engraved in his mind.

Zhang Lingyuan!

Although he was not as young as he is now, he still touched Zhao Qi's heart.

Strange people are coming, demons are invading, and there are fewer and fewer habitats for humans, and everyone is being devoured by despair.

Fortunately, during this period, there are also people with great understanding among human beings, who can cultivate through spiritual energy and become demon slayers, so as to obtain powers far beyond ordinary people.

Zhang Lingyuan is one of them, and the team he leads has fought side by side with Zhao Qi many times, escorting all civilians away from dangerous places.

For Zhao Qi, although Zhang Lingyuan is silent, he is a trustworthy person who can be trusted.

At that time, he had one person and one sword, and he could stop thousands of troops and horses.

In order to protect the safe transfer of thousands of people, he stayed alone in the mountain pass and struggled for a day and a night.

Zhang Lingyuan became famous in one battle, and in many hard battles and cooperation, he and Zhao Qi advanced and retreated together.

But after the glorious fragment ended, Zhao Qi saw Zhang Lingyuan dragging his torn body under the snow moon, and tried his last strength to send the protected baby to Zhao Qi's hands.

"Go down for me and protect them!"

These were the last words that Zhang Lingyuan and Zhao Qi said, and at that moment time seemed to stand still in eternity.

With trembling hands, he took over the child under Zhang Lingyuan's protection, and before he could even say a word to him, the long knife in his hand fell to the ground.

Since then, there has been no Zhang Lingyuan in the world.

There is no longer that tacit comrade-in-arms who can fight side by side with Zhao Qi.

Until Zhao Qi died in the end, the human race was completely extinct, and he did not fulfill Zhang Lingyuan's trust and high hopes after all.

This trance made Zhao Qi's eyes a little moist.

It's been three years, and we finally meet again.

When he came back to his senses again, he happened to meet Zhang Lingyuan's somewhat puzzled eyes.

"We know each other?"

"I don't know, I just think you're so young, you still know about this kind of folk thing."

Zhao Qi quickly stabilized his mind and didn't let others see the clues.

Hearing this, Chen Xue asked curiously:

"Mr. Zhao, will there be any bad effects?"

"Yin has a yin house, and yang has a yang house." Zhao Qi's face returned to normal, looked at the grave pile on the side, and explained: "If there is a problem with the feng shui of the Yang House, it will affect people's luck, and even suffer a sudden disaster. The same is true for the yin house, but if there is a feng shui problem in the yin house, it is often easy to give birth to evil and breed evil things. ”

Zhao Qi frowned and looked at the young photo on the tombstone in front of him.

"This man died a strange death, and now that this grave is growing a tree, it is even more wrong.

It seems that this is not easy, and we need to find out as soon as possible what is going on. ”

While talking, Zhao Qi looked at Zhang Lingyuan and said without a trace:

"Together?"

Zhang Lingyuan's eyes were full of doubts when he looked at Zhao Qi, he always felt that the other party's attitude of talking to him was not like the first meeting.

But soon he nodded, the only thing that so many years of adventure had brought him, apart from the scars all over his body, was his obsession with the truth.

"I need to figure out as soon as possible where the village stands in the whole Feng Shui pattern.

Only by determining the correctness of the general environment can we find the root cause of Feng Shui problems.

Chief, do you have a map of the terrain of this area? ”

Hearing what Zhao Qi said, the village chief suddenly shook his head blankly, and said with a bitter face:

"Leader, I'm just a little village chief, how can I find this kind of map?"

"That's going to be a problem, it's going to waste a lot of time, what about the professors? Is there a way? ”

Zhao Qi's voice reached the ears of the professors, causing many of them to frown slightly.

A few seconds later, Lu Wei took the lead in looking at Kang Lei and said:

"Maybe we can help with this, just give us a map, maybe we can mark the feng shui pattern of this place."

"Yes, that's right!"

These professors just treated this matter as an ordinary academic exchange, and they didn't know what the case meant, and they never thought about it.

Kang Lei immediately agreed, and then immediately retrieved the latest satellite photos through the authority of the State Secretariat.

The moment they saw the photo, all the professors who had studied Feng Shui spontaneously walked out of the crowd, gathered together, and started a discussion based on the photo in their hands.

"The mountains are stacked, the mountains are opposite, this is the five fortunes of the stars, that is, the Qinglong Bureau."

"There is a river running through the middle of the west, and the river winds to form a sickle, and the Qinglong Bureau to the east forms a rush."

"You can't judge it like this, you look at this high mountain in the north, which overwhelms the head of the green dragon dragon by an inch. This is the Huilong game, so that the sickle will not be harmful, because the green dragon takes advantage of the situation to vacate the air, and this game will break itself......"

The professors were talking about the feng shui bureau in front of them.

The judgment of Feng Shui must go beyond this place and overlook the four directions of east, west, north and south from an absolutely independent perspective.

There are many feng shui bureaus in this, and it is necessary to unify the interests in them before finally determining whether the feng shui here is good or evil.

During the discussion of the experts, Zhao Qi was not idle, he returned to the river again, ordered other agents of the State Secretariat to block the area around the river basin, not to let others approach, and casually found a reason to send the village chief who had been following him.

Seeing this scene in his eyes, Zhang Lingyuan secretly guessed that the identity of the young man in front of him was not simple, he seemed to be younger than his age, but his power was amazing!

Just don't know what department it belongs to?

It's strange that if you say that you are mentioning the Criminal Division, it doesn't look like it, and the words of the military don't seem to be right.

Moreover, he used his power so much, it seems that there is something big to do?

The fact was indeed as he imagined, Zhao Qi went straight to the crazy Li Bikang.

"Son, my father came to see you, your life is miserable, why did you drown......"

Li Bikang has been repeating this sentence constantly, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, which makes people feel pitiful when they look at it.

He placed a brazier in front of him, and in the process, he kept throwing paper money into the brazier to express his thoughts.

Zhao Qi slowly squatted in front of Li Bikang, but the other party's eyes were blank, as if he didn't notice Zhao Qi's existence at all.

Suddenly, Zhao Qi slapped Li Bikang's neck with a slap, and then exerted force in his hand, which immediately stopped the movement of Li Bikang's hand.

"Hey...... Hey hey ......"

Li Bikang sneered, saliva kept flowing from the corners of his mouth, as if he was crazy.

But Zhao Qi had been carefully observing Li Bikang's forehead, and then opened Li Likang's eyelids and looked at it, before he sighed and stood up.

"It's not that he's overthinking, it's that he's fallen into evil."

"Evil?"

Chen Xue looked at Zhao Qi in surprise, obviously puzzled by this.

"His hall is blackened, and his eyes are distracted, which is the most basic sign of great evil. But how bad the situation is, you have to ask to know. ”

"But now that he's out of his mind, what can he ask, but it's all some crazy talk, right?"

Chen Xue looked at Li Bikang with some complexity in his eyes, a good person, but now he has become this kind of person who is not a ghost or a ghost, and a family is scattered like this.

But Zhao Qi didn't answer the question she asked right away, but looked at the river in front of him, frowning.

Back to the essence of the matter, why would a person who is proficient in water drown in a river?

After the burial, the grave grows a tree, and the soul returns to the first seven times, there must be an inevitable connection between this, right?

At present, the experts from all walks of life in the scientific research conference room of Longjun County did not think much about this matter, and only thought that it was an ordinary criminal case, but the problem was obviously not so simple.

The most important thing at the moment is where to start and find the truth......

Zhao Qi's heart was secretly thinking, and at this moment, a professor's excited voice suddenly came from his headset:

"It's confirmed, the feng shui in this area is more special, it is the Huilong Feng Shui Bureau.

In this feng shui bureau, there should be frequent natural disasters in the surrounding area, and there are many dangers.

However, the location of this village is quite appropriate, neither auspicious nor fierce, neither good nor evil, but the land of the dragon's body. ”

At this point, the professors finally reached a unity, and in front of them, a map drawn from the perspective of Feng Shui came into view.

On the map, mountains are connected like a dragon soaring through the clouds.

And the location of this village is in the dragon body generation, not touching the auspiciousness of the dragon's head, nor the fierceness of the dragon's tail, it is a place of the mean.

"Sure enough......"

Getting this conclusion, Zhao Qi's frowning brows stretched slightly:

"This is the problem, the golden mean is tolerant of heaven and earth, auspicious is auspicious, and fierce is fierce.

Now that the yin energy has recovered, the changes in this place will be even more unpredictable, and it is no wonder that such a disaster has occurred. ”

While talking, Zhao Qi looked at Chen Xue beside him:

"Do me a favor and borrow a bowl of white rice, three sticks of fragrance, and a red rope soaked in chicken blood, and a bell should be hung on the rope."

Although Chen Xue was puzzled by this strange request, she nodded quickly out of trust.

But just as she was about to turn around and leave, Chen Xue suddenly thought of something, and her face was embarrassed:

"The order I received is to protect you twenty-four hours a day, I'm leaving, what if something happens to you?"

Zhao Qi was helpless and just wanted to say something, when he heard Zhang Lingyuan, who had been silent next to him, suddenly speak:

"Leave it to me, I'm here, he's fine."

These words made Zhao Qi's heart tremble, in his memory, this is Zhang Lingyuan's classic quotation.

He will always take all the dangers alone at the most dangerous moment, but he has always interpreted these words with his own actions.

Just like the child who was protected in his hands, at the last moment of his life, he was still delivered to Zhao Qi safe and sound.

Chen Xue also glanced at Zhang Lingyuan in surprise, not knowing who gave him confidence.

He was still not very relieved about this, but thinking that this generation had been blocked by agents, there should be no danger, so he nodded and walked towards the village.

There were only Zhao Qi, Zhang Lingyuan, and the crazy Li Bikang left at the scene.

Standing by Zhang Lingyuan's side gave Zhao Qi a sense of déjà vu.

At that time, the demons were raging, and the two of them had also stood quietly in the whirlpool many times, as each other's backs, and fought their way out of the bloody road.

"Your official is not small, is he?"

At this moment, Zhang Lingyuan opened his mouth coldly, and from the attitude of the people around him towards Zhao Qi, he guessed this.

Zhao Qi smiled:

"It's okay, it's just that what I have to do is more important, so the authority is relatively large."

"Then it has to be a bureau chief or department director." Zhang Lingyuan nodded, then looked at Zhao Qi thoughtfully, "I always think you're a little strange, we really don't know each other?" ”

"At least now we know each other."

Zhao Qi didn't know how to explain to Zhang Lingyuan, but he had secretly made a decision in his heart.

After this matter is over, Zhang Lingyuan must be allowed to join his team.

Qin Tianjian's external operations department needs this kind of capable person!

A moment later, when Chen Xue returned with the things she had prepared, the sky had already darkened.

Zhao Qi put the bowl of spiky white rice in front of Li Bikang, and then began to tie the red rope to Li Bikang's fingers.

Looking at this scene in the picture, many scholars and professors who are not in this field feel a little puzzled.

"What is this doing?"

"Cast a spell?"

A professor of folklore looked at it for a moment with some surprise before he said in disbelief:

"It looks ...... It seems to be some kind of ritual, but it is very similar to a kind of folk witchcraft, called Wenmishu.

In the early years, many goddesses who watched things in the Shanhaiguan area would use this method.

It is said that this method can lead to yin and yang and take the ghost path.

In this way, the goddess invited the gods to come up, but answered some people's doubts.

The research team I led also conducted a study, but it did not yield any results.

In folk culture, the logic that exists is not strong, so many things cannot be studied by ordinary scientific means.

And this kind of ceremony has been tried on a long time ago, I can't imagine that I can really see it with my own eyes! ”

A look of horror appeared on the faces of several folklore professors, this kind of thing that they had always identified as a theoretical doctrine was about to happen in front of their eyes, how could such a shock be easily calmed down.

"Not everything can be explained by science......"

The master who played with literature and play, his eyes were full of surprise and emotion:

"My grandfather told me that when I was young, I was short-lived, and on my 7th birthday, if the rooster crowed, I would die.

For this reason, my grandfather made me lie in a coffin in a shroud that day, and then a grave was erected to bury my clothes.

After the rooster crowed, he let me come out of the coffin, saying that he had borrowed Yin Shou from me, so as to hide from the world.

I can't get into it, but after I was 7 years old, I never had to deal with the pain that had been tormenting me again. ”

There is always a disagreement between the masters of the folk and the experts in the field to some extent.

However, this also explains the diversity of cultures, which in Kang Lei's view is a good thing for the development of Qin Tianjian, and if everyone is an expert in the field, then it is a limitation.

But in the conversation between the two, all the experts and professors also paid all their attention to the picture.

They want to see what role what Zhao Qi is doing now will play in the detection of the entire criminal case?

What role can this special folk method have in solving the case?

At this time, Zhao Qi had already tied one end of the red rope to Li Bikang's fingers, and the other end was tied to the middle of the three incense sticks.

When the sky was completely dark, Zhao Qi pressed the lighter in his hand.

The firelight should be on his face, half-light and half-dark, like yin and yang.
