Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 10 The Evil God's Tribute (10)
Head Chen said: "I really didn't intend to hide it, but this operation is a very high level of secrecy, so there is no way."

The old patriarch smiled and said: "That's right, we don't understand the big things, but since the country asked you to investigate, we are obliged to cooperate. I wonder if the mission has been completed this time?"

Head Chen said: "It's done. I've already taken photos. I'll write another investigation report when I go back."

The old patriarch nodded and said: "Since this is the case, we can't let everyone come here in vain. It just so happens that lunch time is almost here. Let's try the local wild vegetables. There is nothing good here, but they are all fresh."

We wanted to resign, but the villagers suddenly became enthusiastic again, and they tried to persuade us to stay. The village head also smiled and said: "Since the villagers are so enthusiastic, you are welcome, a meal is nothing."

So we had no choice but to stay. The township head left first because he still had official duties.The four people with the highest seniority in the village accompanied us for dinner at noon. They are particular about arranging accompanying guests according to the number of guests.

This meal was just like what the old patriarch said, it was all game from the mountains, and it was very fragrant.The wine is also the rice wine brewed by the villagers. It is mellow but not intoxicating. It is impossible to eat such game in the city anyway.

The old patriarch raised his glass for the third time and said: "What we admire most are scientists, so since we have encountered them, we should have a good drink. Come on, everyone has done it."

At his age, he can really drink.We only drank the third bowl of wine together, and soon after I put down the bowl, I felt a little dizzy. At first I thought it was because I drank too much, but gradually my head became more and more dizzy, and the things in front of me were spinning. It seems that the group leader Chen and the others are also like this, because their eyes are gradually blurred.

At this time, the old patriarch put down his cup and said, "Why do you insist on disturbing our life? It's not my fault."

He Zhuang stood up and flipped the table over with a clatter.Now the four people who were sitting with me were all shocked, but my eyes were dark and I didn't know anything.

I was the last one among the four of us to wake up. I found that everyone was in a utility room full of all kinds of rags, which smelled bad, and the four of us were all tied up like rice dumplings. The head of the group and Ma Tianxing There has been a heated discussion early on, and they imagined various possible reasons.He Zhuang stared at the roof without making a sound. After a while, Ma Tianxing glanced at me and said, "Luo Zi finally woke up."

I said: "You still have the mind to make this joke, do you know how they are going to deal with us?"

Ma Tianxing said: "Leverage their courage, they will be under house arrest at most, and dare to kill us?"

Head Chen said: "As I said just now, they must have secrets here. Don't be so optimistic, maybe they will really kill us. Remember the first batch of expedition teams that came here? They But they all disappeared."

Ma Tianxing said: "No way, at such a young age, I should sacrifice my life for the country?"

Head Chen said: "If you are sure that you are dead, then you are a sacrifice. Like us, you will be listed as missing persons at most."

Ma Tianxing said: "This business has lost money, and the team leader, we are too careless, and this kind of person just drinks wine casually?"

Head Chen said: "The thousand-year-old Jianghu finally made a mistake, but I really didn't expect that they would dare to attack the people brought by the superiors, otherwise they would never drink their glass of wine." After thinking for a while, the head said again : "Fucking fooled, that village head may have been from this village."

I was taken aback and said, "No way, how do you know?"

Ma Tianxing said: "That's right, I'm still a government official, so I wouldn't join forces with these people, right?"

Head Chen said: "I thought of a detail just now. He called the old man: old patriarch, which is exactly the same as the local people's name. According to common sense, he should have a surname before addressing a superior leader, and he has nothing to do with anyone in the village. When people shake hands, there is no distinction at all. I have seen these two details, but they have not attracted my attention."

Ma Tianxing said: "Leader, your case is indeed solved now, it seems that at least everyone doesn't have to be a fool."

When we were worried about our future, we suddenly heard someone open the door, and we all kept our mouths shut. After the door opened, a young man crept in. He whispered, "Are you awake?"

Head Chen said: "Wake up, you just came in, didn't they find out?"

The young man said: "I grew up in this village. In addition, no villagers here will go out in the afternoon and night. They never thought that I would save you." After saying that, he closed the door and walked to us to cut the ropes one by one.

Head Chen sat up and said, "Ma Shulin is your father?"

The young man nodded and said, "Yes, how is he doing now?"

Head Chen hesitated for a moment and said: "It's okay, how did you come to this place? Isn't it too small?"

The young man said: "It doesn't matter. When my father went crazy, my mother wanted to find out the truth of the matter, so she brought me here. The locals saw that it was a woman with a child who accepted us. , I grew up here, and my mother passed away the year before last, so I was assigned to serve the old patriarch."

We were all shocked to hear what he said. After all, how much courage a woman needs to make such a decision, and the sad thing is that his husband doesn't know these things at all.

Head Chen said: "You live in the same room with him, will it disturb him if you come here like this?"

The young man said: "Don't worry, he drank too much to give you anesthesia today. How can he be sober sober at such an age. Besides, he won't doubt me."

Head Chen said: "What's going on here? Are the two cows driven by batteries? No matter how I think about it, it's impossible."

The young man said: "There must be strange things in this village, but only those few people can handle them. Even people like me who grew up in the local area can't get in touch with them, so I haven't figured out what's inside until now. What kind of strange things exist, but please be clear, this matter is very important to them, they don't care about killing people for this matter, I heard that their tone of discussion in the afternoon may be to prepare for you It’s time to start, so even though it’s a risk, I must come to save you.”

Head Chen stood up at this moment and said: "It seems that calling the police is not a good choice, right?"

The young man said: "Absolutely, because I have lived here for nearly 20 years without knowing this secret, so the truth is not so easy to find out."

Head Chen nodded and said: "Then you go back first, don't be found out, we should go too."

After saying that, the two groups of people left the room separately.We watched him enter the old patriarch's house without any movement for a long time, and then we were relieved and were about to leave, when we heard the strange singing of the little girl again, which sounded very strange in the middle of the night.

Head Chen said: "Let's go and see what's going on." After saying that, he followed the sound and walked away.

The village is halfway up the mountain, and the sound came from above, so I couldn't hear it clearly, which shows that the distance between us is not short.

After climbing up for a while, the area of ​​the mountain became larger and larger, with overgrown trees and weeds. We were worried that the noise of walking would arouse the vigilance of others, so we slowed down.Suddenly under the moonlight, we saw the little snake-driving girl sitting on a rock, holding a whisk-like thing in her hand, shaking her head and singing a strange song.

Because we were right under her nose from the point of view, afraid of being seen by her, we immediately got into a forest with relatively many small trees, squatted on the ground, and closely monitored the little girl's every move, but for a long time she Just keeping this posture and singing weird folk songs.

Just when we were trying to guess this weird scene, suddenly I felt that Ma Tianxing tugged at my cuff, and then pointed behind me. When I looked back, I was so frightened that I almost cried out. When stands a monster.

It doesn’t look like a monster, because it’s a green cow, but it doesn’t look like a cow, because first of all, it’s too big compared to a cow. I think even if an African elephant stands on it It is almost five or six meters high, not to mention the length, and the horns and eyes are faintly red, and it looks very fierce. At first glance, it looks a bit like a fierce beast who came out of hell. Cattle.

I saw its hoof, which was as big as a sea bowl, stomp on the ground a little, and immediately there was a strong shock.My liver and gallbladder were broken, and my mood at this moment was comparable to that of the Heilongjiang River.

Just when the four of us were all shocked, the little girl said: "Ah Da, Ah Er, you should go back."

The cow walked past us, and at this moment we were surprised to find that the rock wall under the little girl was also starting to move, and it turned out to be a bigger green cow.

These two super-giant "cows" were very tame in front of the little girl, and they walked forward slowly amidst her singing like silver bells, while the cow that was looking at us turned around and seemed to be hiding towards us. I glanced at the place, and after a while, the little girl and the two cows disappeared, leaving the four of us staring at each other.

After a long time, Ma Tianxing said: "It must be this kind of cattle in the Yellow River. The iron cattle are just deceiving people."

Head Chen nodded and said, "It's all nonsense for a battery to change your life, but what is it? Is there such a big cow?"

I said, "Impossible. The largest land creature in the world is an elephant, but these two cows are bigger than elephants."

He Zhuang said: "If you don't know, maybe you don't have it. I see it as a cow."

The leader said: "Then can you explain in detail?"

He Zhuang said: "Do you still remember the Gu cat?"

Head Chen's face changed, and he didn't say anything anymore, Ma Tianxing and I were both baffled.He asked: "Leader, don't tell us if you have something to say, what kind of Gu cat? Is it an animal in mythology?"

Head Chen shook his head and said: "No, the black wizard has a kind of voodoo technique, which can increase the size and power of the animal it receives. We have seen the voodoo cat, it is a very strange animal, but the original body It’s just a cat. Since there can be Gu cats, there can also be Gu dogs, Gu cows, etc.”

I said, "Does witchcraft really exist in the world? Don't those great dancing gods engage in feudal superstition?"

Head Chen smiled and said: "Of course those dancers are engaging in feudal superstition, just like our investigation report, if it is made up, it is a rumor, but you can't say that there is no institution like us in the world. The same is true for wizards , I have seen real black wizards. They have very amazing energy, and voodoo cats are just the lowest creatures in phantom voodoo. The more advanced black wizards can control the stronger animals. Of course, if the wizard has no ability to control himself If the two cows are the illusionary Gu made by the black wizard, then there is a very powerful black wizard here."

I said: "So it seems that we have encountered a big problem? Could it be that little girl? Ever since she helped us drive the snake, I think she has a problem."

Head Chen said: "It's hard to say this kind of thing. Some wizards master the best health preservation techniques. It is entirely possible to have a teenage body at the age of 80 or [-], but judging from the fact that this little girl has a family, she should not be. Otherwise, unless her family are all wizards."

We feel more and more bewildered. This bewilderment is not like the lack of clues at the beginning, but the current situation is full of clues, but every point is beyond our imagination and expectations. So what is the truth?
Ma Tianxing said: "Is it possible that they are protecting some kind of magical animal? From the perspective of those two iron oxen, it is precisely these two oxen that they want to hide."

Head Chen said: "It's not impossible. After all, we can't deny that the people in this village are very environmentally conscious. But if this is the case, then it is very suspicious. As for killing people to silence them? This is Isn't it a little too serious?"

Ma Tianxing said: "That's true. No matter what happens in this world, human life comes first. There is no need to kill people for two animals, unless these two animals have special meaning to the people in the village."

Head Chen said: "Your words reminded me. I think it is entirely possible, but these two cows are indeed not like normal cows. I think they are at least an undiscovered species."

I said, "Head, didn't you say that this might be a cow that has been enchanted?"

Head Chen said: "I only said that there is such a possibility, but if it is true that the cow has been casted with a Gu technique, then the person who cast the spell has the technique of asking the sky. I don't think we are so small, here we meet Are you there?"

I said: "What is the art of asking the sky? Is there really a god in the world?"

Ma Tianxing said: "Xiao Luo, as a scientist, isn't your question a bit ridiculous..."

Head Chen said: "It's nothing ridiculous, it's just that you don't know it. Wizards have existed since ancient times, and those who have cultivated Tao have visions. Can you explain clearly their ability that exceeds the limit of human behavior?"

My curiosity was completely aroused, and I said, "Leader, can you tell me more about the wizard? Is there any connection between this and our work?"

17. The Horrible Truth
Head Chen smiled and said, "Okay, cultivating new comrades' unknown concepts is part of our job. Since you are interested in this, I will explain it in detail, Xiao Ma, listen to it, it may be useful in the future."

We didn't understand the deep meaning of what Captain Chen said at the time, but it became clear later.In fact, on this day, he had already laid the groundwork for the future, but we didn't understand it at the time. Of course, one person actually knew it.

Head Chen said: "Wizards are not the kind of witches and gods you see now, they are the kind of people who practice the law and seek the way. The ancient wizards were very status and status. They prayed for the ancient kings, prayed for luck, and exorcised evil spirits. The alien who wards off demons. Modern people can't accept them conceptually, and feel that they are contrary to scientific thinking. In fact, they don't know that many scientists are very interested in this kind of mysticism. For example, Newton spent his entire life studying alchemy. , can you say he is confused?"

"So since there are people who cultivate, there must be a difference in skill. Some are gifted, and some are predestined. These two types are the conditions for a great master. Those outstanding wizards are all from these two types of people. To sum it up, it can be divided into four levels, which are: five-element real person, yin-yang scholar, flower-faced lady, and evil general."

I said, "Are these people you're talking about, or something else?"

Leader Chen said: "These are the four titles of the top wizards among wizards. The ones we often say who become immortals are actually five-element real people among wizards; some people do not become immortals, but they become ghosts, and they are yin and yang scholars. This is the two highest realms of black and white wizards; there is also a kind of person who is out of the three realms, neither immortals, ghosts, or humans, that is, what we call eccentrics, is the flower-faced lady; Those who are human are evil generals."

"Evil generals are actually divided into evil generals and evil generals. Evil generals become demons, and generals seek immortality. Those who have entered this level seem to have entered the stage of class division in arts and sciences. It only depends on the cultivation of personal thoughts. If we see If your cow is really bewitched, then there must be an evil general here."

I said: "Head, is there really someone among us who can surpass the limit with acquired cultivation?"

Head Chen nodded and said: "That's right, the potential of human beings is inherently infinite. If you can stimulate it, the energy will be immeasurable. If you are asking if there is anyone in the world who can manipulate potential, I think there must be."

I nodded and said: "I think so too, just like those unknown creatures, not knowing doesn't mean they don't exist, but Captain Chen, have you ever come into contact with such people?"

Captain Chen was stunned for a moment, and said: "How should I say this, I must have seen a wizard, but I have never seen one who has cultivated to the level of an evil general, but I believe there must be evil generals."
