"Keep guessing." I smiled mysteriously. After all, Hu Xiangu's identity was too special, and it was not convenient for me to tell him in detail.
However, Gao Hu's guess was really interesting. The only difference was that Xu Zhu was a monk, and I was a Taoist priest.
After breaking the Feng Shui evil fish, the surrounding aura returned to normal, and the phone naturally had a signal. After he called the headquarters to report the situation, the two of us acted as security personnel to prevent those ordinary people who were watching the excitement from coming in to destroy the scene. Then, in less than ten minutes, a large number of police officers arrived at the scene.
Later, Gao Hu performed bravely in this operation and was praised by his superiors. As for this police report, he also mentioned it to me. The general meaning was that he came to the clothing store by accident, found bloodstains and then investigated, found hidden drugs, and in the process of arresting the suspect, the other party had a gun, so the mastermind ran away.
For an hour, Gao Hu kept contacting the command center. Sure enough, we got the news soon. A witness said that he saw a girl at a certain intersection, who was crushed by a tanker truck that ran a red light. Gao Hu and I rushed to the scene and found that it was indeed the girl from the clothing store. However, she died too tragically, half of her body was crushed, and there were no useful clues in her remains, which also led to the interruption of clues for subsequent investigations.
After we went to the police station to make a record in the afternoon, we set out on the road to Changbai Mountain. On the way, Gao Hu's mobile phone basically rang every five minutes.
I held a cigarette in my mouth and listened to him saying on the phone: "No, no, no, you can just take the award certificate for me, and the bonus will be deposited into my card." Then he said, "Leader, don't be like this, I have paid leave. Since I came back to work, I haven't taken a day off for two years. This time you can say that I was injured in the process of drug enforcement and need to rest. Well, rest for a month first. No more, no more, I'm driving." I gave him a thumbs up. Gao Hu is a free and easy person, and I only like to make friends with such people. He told me on the way that the identity of our special service is confidential, and only when there is a special mission, the superiors will take the initiative to contact us. Gao Hu said that as long as you have a phone, the special service will definitely find you. Once you receive an order, if you don't execute it, it is equivalent to treason, and a warrant will be issued nationwide. In fact, I am quite happy to work for the country, but it is mixed with the coerciveness of hegemony, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable. The distance from Yanji to Changbai Mountain is very short. Now that Grandpa has a dragon in his hand, no matter how he goes, he will definitely not be able to leave the Songhua River. So what I mean is to take the highway to Changbai Mountain, then take the shortcut and go straight to the mouth of the Songhua River to wait for Grandpa's arrival.
Gao Hu also accepted my suggestion. He basically drove at a speeding speed all the way, because I think that if he delays for one second, Grandpa may face one more second of risk. As for Hu Xiangu, she has not spoken since she got on the car. I can see her frowning brows in the rearview mirror, and her face has become very pale, as if she has something heavy on her mind.
It was already evening when we left the house, and it normally takes four hours to drive from Yanji to Changbai Mountain. Although we got off the highway in less than three hours, it was already dark.
Entering the mountains, the hustle and bustle of the city instantly left us far away. In the early summer season, this is a paradise for wild animals. The fragrance of the soil in my breath gave me a sense of comfort of returning to nature. But as I walked, I thought of Lao Chen's home last winter.
I think of Chen Tiebao, the only forest ranger in his lineage. Has he found a successor?
When we parted, we were too busy, so we left him alone in the snowy mountains, waiting for the hibiscus to mature. Later, I went to North Korea. It took more than half a year to go back and forth.
I remember reading a sentence in a book, which roughly means: "The more vicissitudes of life a person has, the more he likes to recall the past."
I couldn't help but smile bitterly. Could it be that I am old?
I remember that when I just went out to look for Jiulongmen, I was taken to Beijing by Xing Zhan. What's more depressing is that I finally went to the capital, but I didn't even see ** and ran to Jilin.
To be honest, Lao Chen's family is really good, simple and kind. If it weren't for the custom of the golden toad eating people, the Zhang family shop would definitely be a paradise on earth.
I suggested, "Brother Hu, the forest farm is just ahead, and the road is not very easy to walk on." Then I pointed in the direction and said, "There is a village called Zhangjiapuzi on the edge of Changbai Mountain. Let's go there to rest for a while. I am familiar with it. We will stay overnight and set off tomorrow morning." Gao Hu smiled and joked with me, "I can't believe that you can make friends when we went into the mountains together. Tell me, is it a boyfriend or a girlfriend? I heard from Chairman Mao that you were almost left as a son-in-law." I smiled awkwardly. From his words, I could tell that Gao Hu and my second senior brother had a good relationship. Last year, Changbai Mountain fought with the Jiuju Sect for the first time. When we were chatting, I asked him if he knew about the fight outside the North Korean laboratory. Gao Hu said that at that time he didn't know what kind of Chrysanthemum Sect the person carrying the soul flag was from. It was just because I was in trouble that everyone didn't have the mood to chat later. Not long after, the country sent a helicopter to take them all back to the country. Although everyone went their separate ways, Gao Hu said he met Tu Gang once last month and briefly talked to him about what happened in North Korea at that time.
He said that Tu Gang's family was very powerful. Although the executioner was also a martial artist, the martial arts of the executioners of previous generations were not particularly powerful. It was only in the generation of Tu Gang's father that he restored the strength of the executioner's ancient martial arts through hard work and research. Moreover, the executioner had a strong restraint on the evil spirits, so later their family was able to join the ranks of the Miaomen.
He said that when the person carrying the soul flag appeared, the evil spirits howled, and the Danba Dharma King set up a barrier with Tibetan secret mantras, but he didn't expect that the other two people who came were also very powerful. One of them held a samurai sword and fought with Tu Gang with ghostly movements. The Danba Dharma King fought against the ghost flag, and my second brother used the four spirits mantra to fight the cat-driving man. The two sides fought for a long time. At the critical moment, Tu Gang and my second senior brother cooperated to cut off the soul flag, and the situation became one-sided. Later, Danba Dharma King's Buddha hand seal seriously injured the evil master, and my second senior brother also used the four spirit beast seals at the critical moment to completely tear the evil master's soul apart.
Although they won a big victory on the surface, Tu Gang's hand was poisoned. My second senior brother is proficient in medicine and spent a lot of effort to save Tu Gang, so when the two entered the cave, Tu Gang listened to my second senior brother.
The matter seemed to be downplayed in Gao Hu's mouth, but I could feel the danger. I smoked another cigarette and looked at the bright moon in the distance. I felt that I had been through life and death several times in nearly a year, but I was able to escape danger. I couldn't help but touch the amulet on my neck. Maybe my good luck may be inseparable from the prayers of someone in the distance.
I am a geomancer by profession, and I have a professional sensitivity to the landforms and the surrounding environment. As long as I have been to a place, whether it is day or night, I can form a complete map in my mind. I directed Gao Hu to drive. About half an hour later, it was just dark, and we stopped outside the entrance of Zhangjiapu Village. It snowed heavily when I first came here, blocking many landforms. Now that the snow has melted, I understand why Zhangjiapu is so isolated.
The distance of the car's high beam is not particularly far, but let's not talk about other things. The road into the village is full of strange rocks, there is no flat road, and it is uphill and bumpy. You know, it is dark now. Not to mention that the SUV can't drive through, I think even if you bring a forklift, the driver will have a headache.
I pointed to the uphill slope and said, "Do you have a flashlight? The car can't go up, let's walk up." Gao Hu said he would get out of the car to look for it, and soon he took out two police flashlights and handed one to me. I took the flashlight and looked at Hu Xiangu beside me, and I gave her the flashlight: "Auntie, I'll give it to you." "You take it, I can't use it." Hu Xiangu shook her head. I smiled awkwardly, yes, I am a fox, and I am a nocturnal animal by nature. So, I walked in front with Gao Hu holding a flashlight. Gao Hu asked me, "How far can it be? Why can't I see the light? Did you remember it wrong?" I said no, if I can't even remember the way, I guess I will make Master Zhang angry in the grave. According to the inheritance, although Wang Yi passed on the spell and seal technique to me, the real learning is Feng Shui Zhai Zhi. Because Fengshui Zhaizhi not only contains geomancy, fengshui, face reading, and divination, but also contains some strange stories, and even many of them are Lao Zhang's own unique insights. It covers everything, including evil situations, killing situations, evil situations, and how to use the arrangement of objects to attract the nine gods and demons for my use.
So, I can use the talisman handy, all thanks to my understanding of Fengshui Zhaizhi. However, the first thing a geomancer should do is to know the way!
"No, maybe there is nothing to do in the countryside at night, so everyone goes to bed early." I explained.
Gao Hu was also patient. In fact, I could see that he was hungry, so he was so anxious. The mountain road was difficult to travel at night, but fortunately the moon was big, and when passing through the dense forest, the sound of the wind hitting the trees was like someone hiding in the forest and playing.
Some friends may not have been to the deep mountains at night. There are more exciting places there than some haunted houses that you pay to play. If a person is not strong and has a light bone mass, he will feel an inexplicable fear after staying in the mountains for a long time, and you can't even tell why.
All around, I can only hear the whistling wind. As for other things, I found that there was not even a cricket chirping!
Therefore, a trace of ominousness rose in my heart. If there is no insect chirping in the village, there must be a disaster!
I stopped talking and my pace was a little faster. I even stopped walking and listened quietly, but there was still no movement.
Suddenly, Hu Xiangu said coldly: "Dabao, go to the woods on the left and take a walk to see what's there."
My heart shuddered: "What's wrong, aunt?"
"Go and have a look." She was still cold.
