Chapter 531

Jiang Duxiu, who inquired about Shen Wuyou's whereabouts as soon as he came back, and ran to the rooftop immediately, did not know that behind the door of his room, there would be a large table of sumptuous meals waiting for him. When he opened the door, he saw When I arrived at the clean room and smelled the aroma of food in the room, I couldn't help but feel a numb feeling in my heart.

Shen Wuyou originally prepared a big meal to reward Jiang Duxiu, but after a long delay, everything got cold, and she even fell asleep on the rooftop waiting.

"Sit down first, I'll go to warm up." No matter what, the meal was the biggest meal, Shen Wuyou pushed Jiang Duxiu on the sofa, then he took the things back to the kitchen and started to work.

Jiang Duxiu was really able to sit and live there, and when he came back so late, Shen Wuyou's heart was poured into water, and he was very sorry in his heart, but he could watch her busy alone, so he pressed on. Following behind Shen Wuyou, he also followed into the kitchen.

Shen Wuyou chased him away a few times, Naihe, Jiang Duxiu's mobility is too strong, not only can't drive him away, but rushing to work and so on, it's not a problem, she came in to give him hot food, In the end, it turned out to be the most idle.

Shen Wuyou couldn't grab it, so he was so angry that he simply raised his hands and ignored it, but in fact, he was still very concerned about Jiang Duxiu's situation. After holding back for less than a minute, he couldn't help but speak first, and asked about Jiang Duxiu's situation with concern. The reason why Duxiu came back late.

You must know that Jiang Duxiu is a very committed person, especially to her, if it is not a big deal, he will definitely not come back so late, so Shen Wuyou is very concerned.

Speaking of this matter, Jiang Duxiu, even if he was as calm as Jiang Duxiu, couldn't help showing a helpless expression.

It turned out that on the day of the demon vine incident, a passerby fainted for no reason outside the effective area. He took people to investigate for two days and searched the entire mountain, only to find that the entire mountain was connected to the mountain. The village below was actually set up with a spirit seizing formation.

The so-called seizing spirit means seizing the vitality of all living beings within its range.

As long as you open the sky eye, you can see that the plants on the whole mountain and the residents at the foot of the mountain will overflow with a ray of life, and then they will float to a ruined temple in the center of the formation.

Vitality - a chance to survive!

Life has been taken away, do these people, these animals and plants still have a chance to survive?
One can imagine how ruthless and insidious the people behind this incident are. Breaking this formation is easier said than done, and it is harder said than done. If one fails to handle it well, it is likely to kill thousands of people.

Jiang Duxiu had no choice but to be cautious. He spent several hours discussing with the monks who were good at this aspect, and spent a whole morning before finally destroying all the big formations. There is a lot of spiritual power, but being able to save these thousands of people is considered their merit. They want to rest for a few days, and when they recover, they will set up a simple spirit-gathering array to help the people on this land. Creatures will regain their vitality.

But they never expected that they would be besieged by the villagers right after they descended the mountain. Those villagers who were helped by them not only did not appreciate them, but also spoke ill of them, and even took advantage of their unsuspecting In that case, a person was wounded with an earthen gun.

The scene at that time was very chaotic. These monks, when dealing with the deadly enemy, no one was softer than the other, and each method was determined against the high-ranking officials. But when they met these ordinary people, they could only be confused, because the administration had a clear statement According to the regulations, no monks can harm these ordinary people for any reason, let alone reveal their identities in front of them. Violators will face the danger of deducting points.

So in the beginning, none of them thought of doing anything, and coupled with their self-respect, in fact, they didn't look down on these ordinary people in their hearts. When they sensed the danger, they failed to take precautions. A monk in their bureau who had just escaped from the mortal realm was shot by an earthen gun. At that time, they thought it was just the impulsive behavior of the villagers in a moment of anger, but then After discovering that the wounds of the wounded could not be healed, neither pills nor spells could heal them, and they felt the dark aura from the bullets they took out, they realized that this was unusual.

But it was still too late, the monk suddenly went crazy, and then, although he was subdued by Jiang Duxiu, he was useless. In the future, even ordinary people may not be able to do it, let alone practice.

But at this time, the villagers are still making trouble, with hundreds of people surrounding them, making it difficult for them to move. It is very difficult to find the villager who hurt someone.

Those villagers felt that their behavior of breaking the formation on the mountain would blaspheme the gods and bring disasters to the village. They were so ignorant that they could not be reasoned at all, so it was very troublesome to deal with it. In the end, Jiang Duxiu got angry and asked the police department to cooperate. , used violence to control violence, and resolved this matter without revealing their own information, but this matter is not over yet, whether it is the people behind the North, or the messy vitality of these villagers who have been destroyed, they must To deal with it, if it is said that the monks originally intended to help the villagers spontaneously, then now, they have resisted one by one, because the laws of the management bureau are too many and too detailed, because they are aimed at ordinary people. They went to face ordinary people, they would rather face the devil, and many people backed down, unwilling to take this task again.

Although the administration is very powerful, it never forces people to take over the tasks, which makes it difficult to handle all of a sudden. Jiang Duxiu has a headache, and always feels that if the villagers really have anything to do in the future, it is all their own fault. If they didn't commit suicide today, why would they need him to clean up the mess.

So he can't rest now, and the time he has freed up is also for the team members who are on missions with him to have a rest and have a meal, and then, after he finishes eating, he will continue to have dinner This meeting, we can't really leave those ordinary people alone.

It stands to reason that such matters should be handled by specialized personnel, such as Qian Lefeng, but Qian Lefeng sneaked back to the capital, and the situation in Haicheng is not peaceful recently, so Jiang Duxiu changed his previous focus on tasks, not on common affairs. I started to do it myself, because I was afraid that there would be a major accident due to an omission. The last time they investigated the case of antiques, it was because they were careless. As a result, many people were hurt. Afterwards, the incident of the demon vine also made Jiang Duxiu understand. Sometimes, even what you see with your eyes may be false, so don't be cautious.

He assumed the title of the deputy bureau, so he had to bear this responsibility.

In addition, this is Haicheng, and there are people he cares about here, so naturally he is not as careless as he is in Beijing. As cases occur frequently and become more and more unscrupulous, the pressure he puts on himself is getting more and more serious. bigger and bigger.

However, sometimes, the more you want to do well, the more likely you will get into trouble. Jiang Duxiu will also introspect and find out his own weaknesses. After all, he is still too impatient.

Shen Wuyou saw his exhaustion and wanted to help, but was rejected by Jiang Duxiu. He was angry in his heart, so he had nothing to do with him, let alone show it on the surface, otherwise he would put more pressure on him , Only then will I run to the branch office when I have time, instead of going back to see my mother-in-law.

But there is one thing, Jiang Duxiu did a good job. He didn't let Shen Wuyou get involved in these messy things, but he never kept it from her. As long as she wanted to know, he would tell her everything, which greatly eased the situation. Shen Wuyou mood.

"Besides seizing the spirit array and making trouble with those villagers, have you found anything else, for example, the final destination of life? Since you said that it is a ruined temple, there must be a statue enshrined in the temple, right? Didn't find out what kind of god it is? Since it is a god worshiped by the villagers, it must be a few years old, otherwise they wouldn't treat you like that and surround you because of this, so these gods must be very kind to them It's important, and even helped them. Then, a god who once helped these villagers, why would it suddenly attack the creatures it protects mercilessly? Is it its intention, or is there someone setting up a trick behind it? I feel that this matter is very important, and it will be very troublesome if it is not dealt with promptly."

Jiang Duxiu washed his hands, brought the food to the dining table again, and pulled the food into his mouth. After a while, he had the time to answer Shen Wuyou's question.

"At the beginning we didn't know what it was, because it was so badly damaged. The statue was made of clay, whether it was an animal that entered by mistake, rainwater leaking from the roof of a broken temple, or a tile that fell damage it.

It is said that this temple has existed for nearly a hundred years. Although some villagers repaired it later, it could not withstand the speed of destruction. section of the soles of the feet.

If it wasn't for the villagers' disturbance, we would have inquired specifically and would not have known what it was. "

At this point, Jiang Duxiu finally gave her an affirmative answer, "It's a nightmare!"

"Nightmare tapir...?"

Shen Wuyou never thought that there would be such an answer. She had heard that some remote villages would enshrine Huang Daxian, fox fairy and so on, but she never thought that nightmares would be enshrined.

The so-called nightmare has a body like a bear, a nose like an elephant, eyes like a rhinoceros, a tail like an ox, and legs like a tiger. It is said that when God created animals in the past, he used the remaining half of the animal to create a tapir.

There is no accurate statement about the origin of the nightmare, and one source is "Shan Hai Jing"

There is no description of eating nightmares in ancient legends about tapirs. It is said that using the fur of tapirs as cushions or bedding can prevent diseases and bad luck. .This kind of folk belief spread to the later period and gradually changed. "Avoiding nightmares" was interpreted as "eating bad luck".

In the book "Tang Liudian" of the Tang Dynasty, there is a description about the god named "Moqi" eating dreams, and there are also sayings that this is confused with tapirs.However, there is no record of the so-called "Moqi" in the book "Liu Dian of the Tang Dynasty", but it records "Boqi's Dream of Eating". One of the lyrics, the lyrics sung by this kind of grand Nuo sacrifice are also recorded in the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty".Therefore, the so-called "Moqi" is just a rumor.

According to legend, the nightmare will set off from the deep forest every night when the sky is covered with hazy moonlight, come to the place where people live, and suck people's nightmares. The nightmare will make a soft cry like a lullaby, Let human beings sleep soundly with the company of this sound, and then slowly suck people's nightmares into the capsule one by one.After eating people's nightmares, the nightmare quietly returns to the forest to continue his mysterious life.

Up to now, there are still many legends about the nightmare. Many people sometimes say "(give this dream) to the tapir" after having a nightmare, which means that they hope not to dream of such a thing again.

Nightmare tapirs are revered as divine beasts, "Tapirs, with elephant trunks, rhinoceros eyes, oxtails, and tiger feet, were born in the southern valleys, 'the skin of which sleeps to ward off plague, and the shape to ward off evil spirits'"

People will get used to giving it nightmares, but they will not enshrine it as a patron saint. What's more, even the relatively remote villages in Haicheng City rely on the sea for food. It stands to reason , they should enshrine the God of the Sea, or a divine beast related to the sea, but they believe in a divine beast that has nothing to do with their life and occupation. No matter how you think about it, it feels very strange. No wonder Jiang Du The look on Xiu's face when he talked about it was so strange.

Probably seeing Shen Wuyou's doubts, Jiang Duxiu continued, "It is said that this nightmare will tell those who believe in it in their dreams to keep good fortune and avoid evil, and has let the villagers under its protection hide away many times. After the disaster, they would rather believe in the nightmare than believe in the sea god and other related gods that match their profession."

However, with the development of the times, some young people don't think like the old people, and they don't want to be robbed of all their hard work by a nightmare. Gradually, the temple on the mountain has declined and no one has taken care of it. This caused the statue, which had been repaired many times, to be destroyed, and finally turned into the ghostly appearance Jiang Duxiu saw, but the villagers refused to admit that it was the result of them, and shifted all the responsibility to Jiang Duxiu and the others thought that they destroyed the temple and angered the gods. The reason why people often fainted inexplicably was the warning from the gods. It was like helping them avoid disasters before. These villagers all felt that , Nightmare tapirs are mythical beasts with the ability of prophets.

And the vision that occurred when they broke the formation was considered by them to be the anger of the gods. At the same time, a large number of villagers fainted, which made them completely anxious. The reason for doing it.

But when asked about the information of the person who shot and wounded, the villagers all looked confused. In the end, no one noticed who fired the gun.

It sounds reasonable, but it is full of loopholes.

Not to mention that Jiang Duxiu felt that there was a problem inside, even Shen Wuyou, who did not come to the scene in person but only listened to Jiang Duxiu's narration, felt that the problem was serious.

However, no matter how big the problem is, it cannot be solved now. Not long after Jiang Duxiu finished his meal, someone knocked on the door and said that all the staff were already waiting in the conference room, and Jiang Duxiu was the only one left. So after less than two hours of leisure, he became busy again.

Shen Wuyou alone took all the empty dishes to the kitchen and scrubbed them, then deliberately warmed the tea leaves in the space before taking them out for brewing and sending them to the meeting room, and then turned them around again to make sure After there was nothing she could do to help, she went back to her room to sleep.

After a night without dreams until dawn, Shen Wuyou woke up feeling as if something was missing, until she was pulled into the Qiankun Mirror by a sudden external force, and then she was awakened by the Water God Halberd.

"Wuyou, Wuyou, I haven't seen me for so long, do you miss me? Look, I'm handsome now, handsome or not!"

This is about the longest dormancy of the Water God Halberd. Both the corpse demon and the cauldron that can only produce demonic energy have been fully utilized by it. After sucking the corpse demon, only a layer of skin and the last breath are left Finally, the Water God Halberd finally recovered to [-]% of its power before it was sealed, and except for the deepest, longest, and most difficult to repair crack, all other cracks on its body were repaired. Don't look at just a few cracks. The gap between them was originally like a water god halberd with a broken harpoon, but after recovering most of its abilities, the whole body underwent a qualitative change.

Obviously there is no change, but its body is as if the layer of ashes has been removed, and a layer of light has been passed through. It gradually glows, shining brightly. At first, it only feels gorgeous, but soon, Shen Wuyou Then she changed her mind, when the body of the Water God Halberd turned black and mixed with blood, the strong demonic energy made her heart tremble uncontrollably, when the Water God Halberd stopped talking, when the flashing light outside it Liang saw its essence, when its body was like a fusion of ancient black gold and meteoric iron from the sky, it glowed with a faint light.It was so cold that it made people shiver.Only then did she face up to the sharpness of this magic weapon hidden under the hippie smile, and finally realized that it was not just the arrogant and arrogant little partner who liked stinky farts on weekdays, but an ancient magic weapon, sharp as if, enough to destroy It's like the sky destroys the earth, so it's no wonder that the Water God Halberd is so narcissistic.

"Handsome, very handsome!"

"Wuyou also praised me for being handsome, right? I knew that Wuyou is the best for me."

Shen Wuyou couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, it was fine if the water god halberd didn't open his mouth, at the beginning, he lost all temperament, and he turned back to that shiny, stinky little partner, as if he had been in it just now. The kind of edge seen on him has never existed before.

Shen Wuyou lazily paid attention to this narcissistic guy, thinking that the water god halberd had ended its dormancy and woke up, did the Qiankun mirror wake up too, the water god halberd had recovered more than half of itself, so it absorbed several How is the situation of the universe mirror of truck wool turned over now?I don't know how much the strength of the Qiankun Mirror can be restored...
