Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 81 The Descendants of the Dragon Clan (43)
I said: "But looking at that fat man, it seems that he doesn't connect well with modern people."

Head Chen said: "Jason also gave an explanation on this point. The closer to the dragon clan, the more primitive the living conditions of those people are. After all, dragons don't know how to watch TV and use showers, but the surrounding sky People of the Spirit Race must master the way of life of modern people. The Chinese have an old saying: Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle. Since they may have to deal with modern people, of course they must master the characteristics of modern people’s life.”

I sighed and said, "Why do they hate humans so much? After all, they are humans too!"

Head Chen said: "This is a big proposition. It is impossible for us to figure it out, and there is no need for it. But I think what Jason said is more reliable. This island may have some kind of connection with the yin and yang scholar. The people of the Tianling clan have discovered this place long ago, and they want to use the clues here to find their deadly enemy, the Yin-Yang Scholar."

I said, "Does this have anything to do with us?"

Head Chen said: "Yes, because we are human beings, we are destined to be unable to escape."

Ma Tianxing said: "This is exaggerating, is there another confrontation between the dragon clan and the ghost clan for no reason?"

Asue said: "The confrontation between the dragon clan and the ghost clan has continued, but such a large-scale battle is no longer possible."

Ma Tianxing said: "I'm not interested in whether they fight or not. I just want to find out He Zhuang's whereabouts and what's going on here. By the way, did you agree to help him investigate?"

Head Chen said: "I agreed, I can't think of any reason to reject him, and through this cooperation, maybe we can avoid being hunted down this time as he said."

Ma Tianxing said: "I really don't have any hope about this, and I don't think it's easy to track down the yin and yang scholars. They may not be easier to deal with than the people of the Tianling clan."

Head Chen said: "But the Tianling clan is righteous, and the yin and yang scholars are evil. Since ancient times, there is no balance between good and evil. Anyone who has gone to elementary school knows which side they should stand on."

Ma Tianxing said: "Those who want to kill me are bad people, this is a matter of course."

Head Chen sighed and said, "I won't talk about this matter for now, but investigating this matter is our job. Do you have any reason to refuse?"

Ma Tianxing stopped talking now, and then we went to the scene.After surveying with instruments, we obtained a lot of data we needed. In addition, we even got the pictures of the tripod. It is a square tripod, rectangular, with a dragon with teeth and claws tattooed on each side of the width.The head of the group frowned and said, "A yin-yang scholar is good enough. There is even a dragon tattooed on the cooker's cauldron. Does he really hate Shenlong so much?"

Jason said: "This is the soul cursed by the world, he will naturally only live in hatred and darkness."

Head Chen said: "According to the analysis of these data, this tripod has been buried here for nearly 3000 years. I think this is definitely not something that modern people can investigate. What do you think?"

Jason said: "That's right, but since there are clues, we have to look for them."

Head Chen said: "For so many years, do you have many chances to meet the yin and yang scholars?"

Jason said: "Both of us are in a state of hunting and being hunted, but the yin and yang scholar did not get the whereabouts of Longtan, and we have never found the yin and yang scholar. But the killing is still going on, I think unless one of the parties is killed Completely wiped out, otherwise it will go down endlessly."

Head Chen said: "So we have a heavy burden on our shoulders?"

Jason said: "You can put it this way, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of bringing you in, because the Celestials also need to search for some information through modern scientific means."

Head Chen said: "That may disappoint you. We basically rely on experience and deduction to investigate a case, and we really don't use much scientific methods."

Jason said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you are willing to do me this favor."

While talking, I saw Jason's two assistants took off their white coats, revealing a strange outfit, a bit similar to a leather jacket, but it didn't look like it upon closer inspection.Jason's complexion changed, and he said, "Tell Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here. We have a distinguished guest."

Head Chen said: "What do you two assistants mean?"

Jason said: "They are dragon warriors, specially protecting me."

Head Chen said: "Aren't you also from the Tianling clan?"

Jason said: "That's right, but I'm just a scientific researcher, and I don't have many high-level skills. Head Chen, you're about to meet the Yin-Yang Scholar's subordinates soon."

We were all nervous, and when we looked around, we saw that there was no one else on the island except us.

39. Dance of Death

Ma Tianxing said: "The world is bright and bright, the sky is bright and bright, you mean to be haunted now?"

Jason said: "That's right, but to correct you, the yin and yang scholar is not a ghost, he is just an evil wizard who has cultivated to the extreme."

This is different from what He Zhuang said, because he once gave us a detailed introduction to yin and yang scholars.In his words, the yin and yang scholar is a ghost. He sold his soul and faith in exchange for eternal life and the ability to surpass ordinary people.Of course, you can describe him in any way that is beyond the scope of normal understanding. After all, it is difficult for us humans to deeply understand their essence.

Suddenly there was a sound of silk music next to our ears, and the sound was very festive, as if someone was marrying a bride.We followed the prestige, and saw a procession of welcoming brides inexplicably appearing in the tree-lined avenue. The groom in the front was sitting on a big black donkey, followed by two men playing trumpets, and four behind. Those who carried the sedan chair, they shook the sedan chair rhythmically with the rhythm of the suona.It stands to reason that this is a very festive scene, but when it appears on a lake island under martial law, it looks extremely weird.And I saw two crows standing on the top of the sedan chair, each holding a piece of bloody fresh meat in their mouths, looking straight at us.I couldn't help but my hairs stood on end, and cold sweat flowed out, and I saw them slowly approaching us.Jason said: "Make way for them. These are undead who have gone the wrong way. It must be a good thing done by Yin Yang Scholar's subordinates. Let's not disturb them, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

We hurriedly got out of the way, and saw this group of people walking past us without turning their eyes, but after two steps forward, their figures gradually began to blur, and then disappeared into the air.

Only then did I realize that I was completely drenched, and I said, "Today is a hell of a time. Commander, I think this island must be carefully paid attention to. Why are there so many things?"

Jason said: "Since the discovery of this tripod, strange things have come out. We, the leader, have a long way to go."

What Jason said made sense. After all, there must be an abnormal side behind these extraordinary events. No one knows whether they will affect or even harm ordinary humans.So now it seems that the matter here must be resolved, otherwise it is hard to say what the consequences will be.

However, although we can have this negative understanding, it is not as easy to solve this phenomenon as it is said, because there is no clue at all.Moreover, there are many strange things on this island. Although there are two dragon guards protecting us, I still have no idea.

At night after the investigation, the tent was set up, and we all gathered in the head's tent. He frowned and said, "It seems that He Zhuang is not here, so where might he go?"

I said: "Actually, I don't think there is any need to worry. With the ability of a strong man, he is definitely safer than us."

Head Chen said: "It didn't matter before this happened, but it's hard to say after this happened. Whether it's the dragon guard or the yin and yang scholar, they are all going to be strong. That's what I'm most worried about."

Ma Tianxing said: "That's right, I really didn't expect that people from the Tianling clan would hunt and kill Zhuang Zi. Why? Could it be that he made a mistake and he is not from the Tianling clan?"

Head Chen said: "This should not be possible. Have you noticed his tattoo and that fat man's tattoo? They are exactly the same. This is the symbol of the Tianling people."

While talking, I only heard the rustling of the woods outside, but there is no wind now.We glanced at each other, and quietly opened the zipper of the tent, only to see that weird white-clothed man with long hair standing by a small tree again, still facing us with the back of his head.The group leader made a gesture and walked out first. After we came out, we saw that Jason and the other three had also come out. We all stood there silently looking at the man in white.After a while, there was a breathless voice, which seemed to be a woman's singing, but I don't know what song she was singing, anyway, the tune was very strange.Then the sound became louder and louder, and the man in white began to dance. The moon was still normal that night, and the other party was dressed in white, so we could see clearly.

Suddenly we heard a rattling sound, which seemed to be the sound of fingernails scratching the board, but the sound was relatively dull, and it seemed to come from the ground.Just as I was still carefully distinguishing the source of the sound, suddenly there were a few soft bangs, and I saw skinny and bluish "hands" protruding from the ground. I couldn't help but grab A Xue's hand, and found that she was also full of hands. cold sweat.After a while, those thumping hands scraped away the sand buried on his body, and saw "horrible figures" standing up mechanically from the mound.They actually danced with the dance of the man in white, and their postures were not bad at all.If the dancing posture of the men in white is at least a little aesthetic, then these "several figures" give people the feeling that it is almost cold to the bone. I don't know why they have such movements, and it is also very strange that this "dance of the dead "What the hell does it mean.

We looked at this "performance" without any warning before, but Jason seemed to know this, he whispered: "Have you heard of the dance of demons?"

Head Chen said: "Of course I know, this is an idiom, what's wrong?"

Jason said: "This is the dance of death. It is a ritual used by necromancers to seduce people's souls. If someone can't help themselves and dances with it, the soul will be taken away. This is a very evil practice." Spell."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sharp and chilling laughter in the night sky. The man in white who had never turned his face turned towards us suddenly. Even the eyeballs are whiter than white paper, and the whole thing looks terrifying.I thought that I had followed it for a long distance by myself two days ago, and my legs were so frightened that I almost didn't sit on the ground.

Amidst the laughter, it ran forward again, and head Chen said: "Chasing." It went first.

We also followed tremblingly, and the man in white actually ran into the temple, but when we entered the temple, it was just empty inside, and there was no sign of him.

Head Chen said: "Search, at least we have to find it, this time we can see it clearly."

At this time, the three of Jason also followed to the small temple, but they didn't come in. They just stood outside the small temple and watched us busy in the temple.Or to say that this time was really not in vain, we went from the first half of the night to the second half of the night, and suddenly the head of the group said loudly: "It's really evil, look into the eyes of the Bodhisattva."

Under the light of the flashlight, the eyes of the Bodhisattva who had been slightly closed were now round and his expression was very strange. This is a man-made Buddha statue, but his expression can change. He turned to us and said, "Luo Zi, Xiao Ma, run quickly."

Before the words were finished, a cat meowed, and the outline of a dark blue giant beast appeared vaguely on the place where the Buddha statue was gold-plated. In an instant, we smelled a stench, turned around in surprise, and saw that the three of Jason had disappeared , a huge dark blue cat face appeared at the temple gate.

Head Chen said to us: "We were fooled. There is an evil general here. Jason is not a member of the Tianling clan at all. He is a subordinate of the Yin Yang scholar. They tricked us here to catch us."
