I am your natural enemy

Fan Zeyun's tone was filled with reluctance, a bit of sarcasm, and a bit of disbelief.

Wen Yan could tell that Fan Zeyun wanted to be caught and then expose the truth.

When Wen Yan was reading the materials before, he saw the second case of revenge by a fierce ghost. In the corner of the photo in the file, there was a pattern from Fan Zeyun.

In addition, there were survivors in the first bloody case in the ghost market, and the survivors were basically victims.

He guessed that this was probably not an accident.

When the evil ghost lost his mind and started killing, there were obvious signs of selecting targets, which was obviously a rational performance.

Back then, no one cared about it. They just thought that it was just a lantern as a signal, which was actually the biggest trigger.

The lantern itself was just a symbol of transmitting information. It would be the same if it was replaced with an ordinary lamp.

This also gave Fan Zeyun a good opportunity to act.

He might not even need to take the initiative to do anything. He could just find a child to break the lantern. People in the ghost market would only change the lantern.

In the information of the Lieyang Department, it was only mentioned that the lantern was a signal, and no one cared about the lantern itself.

At that time, a mad and blackened evil spirit was something beyond the progress of the spiritual energy recovery at that time, so don't expect anyone to recognize a lantern that was not recorded at all.

It is actually difficult to understand what happened in the past by just looking at the records. Some details should be omitted. Wen Yan can also feel from the records that the strength, personnel, and authority of the Lieyang Department were far less than those of the present, and they were quite unwilling to compromise. In the end, no one knows what happened, and it became the final form.

Wen Yan can't control what happened decades ago, and he doesn't know, but the current situation is related to him.

Wen Yan opened his mobile phone and took out the lantern picture generated by the black box. It was most like the lantern he saw when he summoned souls in the underworld.

"Have you ever made a lantern similar to this one?"

"I have, that is the soul-soothing lantern, but this one is not made by me, and the diagram is wrong."

"This diagram is just a computer-generated schematic diagram. Can I ask who has the lantern?"

"I only know who had it at first, but I don't know who it ended up in."

Speaking of this, Fan Zeyun's face was complicated, and he paused for a moment before adding.

"This time I took the risk of going to the underworld in my physical body because I had a feeling in the dark. The soul-soothing lantern from that year seemed to appear on the underworld road.

I thought someone was so bold that he took the soul-soothing lantern to the underworld, but got lost there and lost the lantern on the underworld road.

Unexpectedly, after going down, I could no longer sense it."

When Fan Zeyun said this, he saw the door curtain being pushed open by the big rooster. The big rooster held his head high, walked with his chest puffed out, tilted his head and looked at the two people inside, and the moment he spoke, he had a taste of old Guanzhong.

"This idiot is going to die in there."

Seeing the big rooster come in, Fan Zeyun, who had been very calm, immediately became anxious. He wanted to reach out and grab the big rooster, but he didn't have time to cover the big rooster's mouth.

The big rooster flapped its wings and landed on the kang. It continued to tilt its head and looked at people with one eye. It glanced at Fan Zeyun.

"This idiot is sticking his butt out. I know what he is going to do. Isn't he going to destroy the lantern after finding it, and die in the dark road with the person carrying the lantern and himself."

Wen Yan looked at the big rooster. It looked very majestic and its feathers were very colorful. If it were in the past, those feathers would definitely be the best materials for making shuttlecocks, and people would squat and pluck their feathers every few days.

Wen Yan noticed it just now, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He had seen many monsters. If he saw a monster without blood and anger, he would just treat it as an ordinary passerby.

"Brother Dao, please stop talking." Fan Zeyun wanted to cover the big rooster's mouth, but he couldn't even catch it. He could only turn around and look at Wen Yan, with a little pleading in his tone.

"The past has nothing to do with Brother Dao, don't implicate him."

"You are a coward, you are really a coward, you have been found, do you think I can still hide? I have eaten so much salt in vain." The big rooster tilted his head and looked at people with one eye, his tone full of sarcasm.

Wen Yan smiled, the words of the big rooster sounded very kind to him. When he was a child, he heard this kind of words the most. The old lady in the welfare home back then could not speak Mandarin, she was a genuine old Guanzhong.

Wen Yan seamlessly switched to the local dialect and waved to the big rooster.

"Relax, I'm not here to arrest anyone, he passed by my door, and he happened to have something else, so I wanted to ask him for advice.

My name is Wen Yan, what's your name, buddy?"

The big rooster raised his head and said in a serious tone.

"My last name is Huang, and my given name is Dao. If you want to give me face, you can call me Brother Dao. If you don't want to give me face, you can call me Master Dao."

"Ha..." Wen Yan laughed out loud. What kind of logic is this?

"Does Brother Dao know other fairies?"

"What? Are you still trying to get some information?"

"Just asking casually. I happen to know quite a few other fairies."

"Hey, who do you know? Do you know some stinky fox?"

"..."

Wen Yan was speechless. This rooster must have some grudges with the fox.

Come to think of it, the place where Grandma Fox and the others are located has forcibly spawned free-range chicken farms. It would be a miracle if they could have a good relationship with this big rooster who speaks with a sarcastic tone.

Fan Zeyun, who was standing by, felt relieved when he saw that Wen Yan didn't seem to have any ill will towards Dao Ge.

He now felt that he was getting older and couldn't keep up with the times.

It was said that chickens don't live past six, especially in their place, it's basically impossible for chickens to live that long.

In order to conceal Dao Ge's existence, he also raised ordinary chickens, otherwise, people would have discovered the abnormality long ago.

He had experienced the first twenty years of the spiritual energy revival and had seen many conflicts between aliens and humans. He still thought that the conflicts now might be more intense than before.

But the result was completely different from what he thought.

Now he didn't have to worry so much about the thing he was most worried about.

With this thought, Fan Zeyun completely let go.

"You want to find that lantern, right?"

"Yes, there are dead souls suppressed by that lantern, and they can't be summoned."

"Can I know what kind of summoning it is?"

"The old Taoist priest of the Taoist Temple, do you know?"

"Yes."

"It should be the strongest summoning besides the one performed by the old Taoist priest himself."

Wen Yan's summoning was directly stimulated by the violent sun. He was afraid that it would not succeed, so he basically never used normal summoning.

In terms of summoning souls alone, the effect should be similar to that of professionals opening a big altar. If it can't be summoned like this, the lantern is obviously a bit strong.

Fan Zeyun frowned slightly, a little embarrassed.

"That lantern should be completely different from the original one. The lantern I made at that time could not have such a strong effect."

"Can you find it?"

"If the lantern is stimulated to its true power again, I should be able to sense it."

"Then can you help find it?"

Fan Zeyun glanced at the big rooster.

"Can you help me take care of Brother Dao?"

"Does Brother Dao want to register with the Lieyang Department? Once registered, there will be a record, which is equivalent to having an identity. You should also know that now all wild animals you see, even sparrows, are classified as protected areas. If you catch a toad, you have to stay in prison for a few days. This is the most friendly era to monsters in history."

"Yes." Fan Zeyun immediately agreed.

"What do you want, you coward?" Brother Dao was unhappy and shouted.

"If you eat my rice, I can make this decision!" Fan Zeyun retorted.

Brother Dao was silent immediately, humming for a long time, but couldn't say anything to refute. After all, it was he who said it.

Wen Yan took out his mobile phone, downloaded a form, and filled in the information directly on it.

"Brother Dao, don't move. Let me take a picture of you."

When Brother Dao heard this, he became energetic. He immediately flapped his wings and flew into the room. Soon he flew out with a piece of bright red silk cloth on his back. After flying to the kang, he turned his head and looked at Fan Zeyun.

"What are you doing? Come to help. Don't think I don't know that I need a red background!"

"..."

Wen Yan and Fan Zeyun were speechless for a while.

Fan Zeyun got on the kang, opened the red silk cloth, stretched it out and stood behind Brother Dao. Brother Dao stood straight, with his head held high and his eyes very serious.

Wen Yan had no choice but to take a picture of Brother Dao.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Take a few more pictures and I'll pick them out."

A few minutes later, Brother Dao chose one of the pictures that looked particularly majestic and nodded with satisfaction.

Wen Yan first filled in the brief information for Dao Ge, which was considered as a registration. He was no longer a wild demon. If he did not plan to transform, transform, or mix in human society, then this was enough.

For those demons who want to open a shop, work, and enjoy everything that humans can enjoy after transforming, they must undergo another review before issuing an ID card.

After completing the registration for Dao Ge, the atmosphere was far less solemn than at the beginning.

Wen Yan also roughly told Fan Zeyun that the current Lieyang Tribe was no longer the Lieyang Tribe that was weak, had low authority, and was somewhat feared in the first ten or twenty years of its establishment decades ago.

At that time, people were still arguing about the saying of spiritual energy revival.

In the early stage, many things could not be defined.

At most, we would wait until a major event that lasted for several years or decades ended, or stabilized, and then redefine when it started.

"When is it convenient for you to help confirm the location."

"Now."

"Now?"

"The soul is suitable for the underworld at night, but the body can only go to the underworld during the day."

"Okay, thank you."

Fan Zeyun took out the small incense burner again, re-arranged it, washed his feet with running tap water, then took out the white lantern and opened the lid of the cellar.

Wen Yan watched from the side, watching Fan Zeyun seem to be opening an altar, but not opening an altar. He worked for a long time before lighting a small section of white candle wrapped in red cloth with incense.

"This candle cannot be lit with an open flame, it can only be lit like this.

I got this candle by accident, and it is made with whale oil as the main ingredient.

For a long time before, it was the main material of the ever-bright lamp, and the only difference was the addition of other things.

Wait, follow me, don't leave more than ten feet behind me, if you are farther, I can't shine on you.

After going down, you can't look back under any circumstances, no matter who calls you."

At this point, Fan Zeyun paused slightly and smiled bitterly.

“Yes, you should be more familiar with it than me.

After waiting for a while, you can summon the spirit and don't worry about me.

Do you have anything else to prepare? If there is anything missing, prepare it early. "

"Well, I take them all with me."

"Okay, let's go."

Fan Zeyun carried a white lantern and entered the cellar. When the dim light of the lantern shone on a corner of the cellar, a narrow passage downwards appeared in that corner.

Entering it, Wen Yan bent down. After walking for a while, the front gradually opened up and turned into a narrow road.

After walking for a few minutes, we finally entered the underworld.

Wen Yanxin said that Fan Zeyun really had two brushes. With his lantern and layout, he was able to create a temporary intersection.

Although it is indeed difficult and uncomfortable to walk, it is indeed a small intersection.

After entering the underworld, not long after walking, Wen Yan saw warm light intertwined with green light from a distance, and he was about to pass a major intersection.

At the intersection, Wen Yan stamped his feet and saw the shadow of an altar rising beneath his feet, and a flag flag erected, swaying gently.

As Wen Yan read out a name, a golden avenue stretched out from the altar and disappeared out of sight.

This time, as before, there was no response. The Golden Avenue came back soon, which still meant that it was available, but it could not be recruited.

Fan Zeyun on the side was dumbfounded, this...is this calling for spirits?

No need to set up an altar, no need for talismans, spells, tactics, and step coordination?

Moreover, this summoning of spirits was unexpectedly strong. He looked at the phantom of the altar and the flags on the altar, and his eyes were dizzy. After just one glance, he felt that if he followed this phantom, he could create something real. Yes, how strong that is.

It's a pity that just by looking at the shadow, I can't tell what materials are used and how to make them.

"Same as last time, we still can't recruit, but last time we only saw it the second time."

"It should be someone who cooperated to activate the soul-suppressing lantern. The lantern was not activated automatically."

"Can it be activated automatically?"

Fan Zeyun was silent for a moment and nodded.

"It should be possible. I felt it last time, so I should still be able to try it."

Wen Yan could tell that Fan Zeyun's tone was not right.

"Very adventurous?"

"It's not very risky. I have something to ask of you."

"you say."

"Can you take Brother Dao away? I don't have any relatives anymore. He is my only relative. He is not a particularly powerful monster. I am afraid that no one will take care of him in the future. He will offend others blindly and be slaughtered again. He went to stew, and someone in the village was thinking about him before."

"what you up to?"

"I want to ask you something."

"Did someone suppress the ghost market incident back then? Was it investigated again later?"

"I'm not very clear about the details at that time, but it was true that the scope of the investigation was not expanded at that time. The families of those who died have fallen a lot over the years, some died, and some were admitted."

"I understand, I want to know more details about last time."

Wen Yan roughly said it. When Wen Yan finished speaking, Fan Zeyun let out a sigh of relief after hundreds of Ah Piao rushed out in one breath last time.

"The soul-suppressing lantern must be fixed and cannot be moved casually. Otherwise, it will not be able to suppress so many Ah Piao. It will definitely not change its position in a short period of time, and it cannot be destroyed. If it is destroyed, it will be destroyed immediately. There will be a large group of Ah Piao appearing. If you can’t hide them, just call them again.”

Wen Yan nodded and summoned the spirit again, this time with a different name. When the Golden Light Avenue went out, Fan Zeyun had bitten the middle finger of his right hand, drew a symbol on the palm of his left hand, and pressed his palm on the Golden Light Avenue. .

The next moment, I saw a dimly lit lantern at the other end of the Golden Avenue, floating in the distance from far to near, floating on the Golden Avenue.

And behind the lantern, this time we could see a dense crowd of Ah Piao standing behind, all blocked by the halo of the lantern.

Fan Zeyun's palm with the symbol painted in blood was pressed on the golden avenue. Under the halo, it became clearer and clearer.

Fan Zeyun looked at the other side of the Golden Light Avenue, and the familiar feeling had never been so clear before. It was as if he could see with his own eyes where the soul-suppressing lantern was, in what direction, and in its approximate position.

He saw a building that looked like an ancestral hall, and in the middle of the main hall of the ancestral hall hung a very old-looking soul-crushing lantern.

Under the soul-suppressing lantern, many Ah Piao were suppressed.

Fan Zeyun felt quite uncomfortable seeing that the work he was most proud of when he was most energetic has now become like this.

Gradually, the golden light dissipated. Fan Zeyun looked at the incense he was holding and saw that it was almost burned out.

"Let's leave quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late."

They continued to walk forward, but before they reached the place, the incense in Fan Zeyun's hand was completely extinguished, and the next moment, he stood still.

"My incense is extinguished and I am lost." He remained motionless and said this calmly: "Don't move. I know that you have been on the underworld before, and you must have your own methods. If you listen later, When the rooster crows, just follow the sound and go out.”

Wen Yan said favorably, although he could still see clearly.

He could see that Fan Zeyun's small intersection was very limited. He could only get down from there, and he could only go back from there and go in a circle.

After waiting for less than thirty seconds, the sound of cockcrow seemed to be heard from a very far away place.

At this time, Fan Zeyun began to move forward with his eyes closed.

"Follow closely, and never go out of the range of the lantern light."

Wen Yan heard the rooster crow, and at that moment, he felt that the sun that never sets in his mind seemed to be summoned, and it seemed to be blessed suddenly.

At that moment, the sun's brilliance bloomed.

In his eyes, the dark and gloomy road to the underworld seemed to be suddenly brightened, and the whole world was a little brighter in his eyes.

Three rooster crows, and the brightness was raised to the limit.

The prompt also appeared at this time.

"The following effects of the fixed ability of the scorching sun.

Blessing, enlightenment, never setting, walking without sun, violent sun.

Temporary enhancement, lasting for 15 minutes."

Wen Yan saw the wilderness on both sides of the road, and beyond the wilderness, the distorted and broken world that could not be seen clearly in the distance.

Not far from the road to the underworld, he saw a huge skeleton whose length could not be seen clearly.

He saw those temporary intersections that he could not see at all on weekdays.

There was a small path filled with thorns, and he also saw the road of the witch who passed by last time.

I also saw a place beside the Underworld Avenue that was not a road, with clearly visible footprints extending from the Underworld Avenue.

As he walked, the sound of the rooster crowing became clearer and clearer, and Wen Yan saw a compacted dirt road that seemed to be broken only a few meters away from the Underworld Avenue. This road seemed to be deliberately broken by someone.

The temporary small road opened by Fan Zeyun was a small road that was only 30 centimeters wide at most, temporarily piled up with soil, and not compacted. After the small road extended, it sank into a small hole.

Fan Zeyun closed his eyes and stepped on the small road crookedly, but after taking two steps, he stepped on the air and fell to one side.

At the moment of falling, Fan Zeyun closed his eyes and shouted.

"Take Dao Ge away, Ma's Ancestral Hall."

He threw the lantern to Wen Yan, his expression calm, as if he was ready to fall into the abyss.

Wen Yan was quick-witted and grabbed the lantern with one hand and Fan Zeyun with the other. He carried him and strode to the entrance of the cave, letting Fan Zeyun go up first.

When he came out of the cellar, he saw Dao Ge at the entrance of the cellar, looking down with his head.

"Oh my, you coward, you are so old, why don't you know what to do? You almost couldn't come back! It's so hard to eat your rice!"

Wen Yan glanced at Dao Ge. The cement floor was almost dug out by Dao Ge's claws. There were very obvious scratches. It was obvious that Dao Ge was almost dying of anxiety.

Although Dao Ge was foul-mouthed, he was still very reliable.

In the past, Wen Yan's Lieyang blessed others. This was the first time Wen Yan saw someone, or something, who could directly bless his Lieyang.

After three cock crows, the rising sun in his heart was about to turn into a scorching sun.

Several special effects of Lieyang were enhanced, and the wider field of vision in the underworld should be considered an additional effect.

According to the progress, it has at least increased by 10%.

The visual range may be a little further than what Tong Si saw. At least, I have never heard Tong Si say that I can see so far.

After Fan Zeyun came out, he returned to normal. He glanced at Wen Yan with a complicated look. He didn't say too much and went straight to the point.

"That place should be the Ma family's ancestral hall. I saw the soul-soothing lanterns hanging on the main beam of the main hall, and saw the tablets there. The names were all surnamed Ma.

You can still see the mountains in the distance outside, but there is almost no green on the mountains. It should be in the north at this season.

Looking at the color of the land, it should not be a place on the Loess Plateau.

As for more, I can't be sure.

But I saw a few names there, and I still remember them."

Fan Zeyun immediately said the names he had just written down, so as not to forget them in a while.

Wen Yan wrote down this information and fed it directly to the black box. The phone was slightly stuck, and the black box gave the answer directly.

Ma's ancestral hall, there are several more names, for the black box, it is indeed no different from the answer.

The location is in the northeast.

There are also photos and related articles.

The article was posted by a local self-media account, introducing the local surnames, and there are photos of the Ma family ancestral hall.

Wen Yan asked Fan Zeyun to take a look at the photo.

"That's it! There's no mistake. The soul-suppressing lantern is hung on the main beam. No one dares to move it. No matter what, it's broad daylight now. They absolutely dare not move it. If they move rashly, the suppressed ghosts will definitely backfire on them."

"Okay, thank you."

"I also want to thank you, wait for me."

Fan Zeyun glanced at Dao Ge, picked up Dao Ge directly, and walked into the house.

"Hey, hey, hey, you coward, what are you doing? Put me down!"

Fan Zeyun didn't listen and carried Dao Ge into the house.

"Dao Ge, listen to me."

"What are you talking about? What are you going to do?"

"Dao Ge, you should know what my biggest regret in this life is."

"What are you going to do!" Dao Ge had a bad premonition, and it had it before. It had discovered that Fan Zeyun had been unable to sit still since he sensed the lantern that day.

"You go with Wen Yan. This young man is a very good person. I have seen that he will definitely not look down on monsters. He has already promised me.

I have to complete what I didn't complete back then. Otherwise, when I die, I won't be able to close my eyes.

After all these years, I still remember the look in the child’s eyes when he was about to learn how to make lanterns from me.

Brother Dao, I'm only worried about you now, don't die in front of me. "

Fan Zeyun's eyes were bloodshot, he had never been so serious.

Brother Dao also fell silent. Slowly, Brother Dao's head, which had been held high, drooped, and his cockscomb seemed to be unstretched.

"Brother Dao, there are several people in our village who want to stew you! I'm old and I don't have a few more days to live. I don't want to be unable to straighten my back after death."

"Okay, okay, it's really hard to eat your rice..." Brother Dao muttered feebly, having no energy to refute.

Fan Zeyun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly packed his things.

He opened the wooden box, dug out an old notebook at the bottom, took it with him, and then took out another package and walked out the door.

He handed the package to Wen Yan.

"This is my experience. It's all in there. There are also some tools in there. I'm afraid I won't be able to use them in the future, so I gave them to you.

In addition, this package belongs to Brother Dao, so you should take it with you. "

"good."

Wen Yan took the package and knew what Fan Zeyun was going to do.

He took out his cell phone and called a car.

"Let's go together."

"Don't come with me." Fan Zeyun shook his head.

"I'm here today. No matter what I think, whether I'm with you or not, this matter will have something to do with me."

Wen Yan called a car and went all the way to the county town and to the Lieyang Department of Guanzhong County.

As soon as he entered, someone greeted Wen Yan, and Wen Yan also waved to him familiarly. He had been to Guanzhong County many times and had met many people. He was not familiar with them, but after all, he could recognize them when he met them. .

Entering the office hall, Fan Zeyun looked at the busy people around him and suddenly shouted.

"I want to surrender!"

After he finished shouting, he continued to mind his own business.

“I was the one responsible for what happened to the ghost market in Luocheng back then.

I also did the revenge of the evil ghost in Jixiang Village. "

Wen Yan was carrying a bag. Brother Dao in the bag looked through the gap at Fan Zeyun who was shouting. He closed his eyes and no longer wanted to stop him.

This is the first time it has seen Fan Zeyun speak so loudly, without the gloominess of the past, nor the loneliness and self-deprecation he felt when he drank those two glasses of wine at night.

It could feel that at this moment, Fan Zeyun breathed out the breath that had been held in his chest for decades before he died.

One breath of life is what Fan Zeyun said many times.

Only today did he truly understand that it is not how he feels comfortable that makes him feel smooth.

Brother Dao closed his eyes and lay weakly in the bag, resigned to his fate. All he could do was not to cause trouble or worry.

Several people immediately came up in the hall, ready to ask about the situation.

But there was an older field officer whose expression changed slightly, and he immediately grabbed the young man, and he took the initiative to walk up.

Not many people may know about the night market, but people who have worked long hours in the Lieyang Department of Guanzhong County all know about the subsequent case.

The person who was killed was a murderer. He killed someone and buried him in his own yard. Who would have thought that decades later, times have changed. The person who was killed would be buried in the yard after death, and would be stepped on by his enemies every day. It would be surprising if this resentment can be dissipated.

After finally breaking out, he tore the murderer's soul into pieces and swallowed it.

I really want to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

But the frantic Ah Piao later refused to surrender and was killed on the spot by the combatants who arrived later.

Later, after the truth was found out, there was a commotion for a long time, and there are still rumors there that the murderer suffered retribution.

Seeing that Fan Zeyun wanted to continue talking, someone immediately took him away.

Wen Yan stood not far away, watching this scene.

People from the Lieyang tribe in Guanzhong County also came to ask Wen Yan, because Wen Yan came with Fan Zeyun just now.

"Did you catch this?"

"I didn't catch him."

In less than two minutes, Wen Yan's phone rang. Wen Yan saw that it was the minister of Guanzhong County.

"Hey, I'm an ancestor, what did you do?"

"Well, you misunderstood. This really has nothing to do with me. I had something to do and wanted to talk to some skilled craftsmen.

I didn't arrest him, and I don't know the details of the case he mentioned.

But, someone wants to surrender. As an external expert from the Lieyang Department, am I trying to persuade them not to come? "

"..."

The minister of Guanzhong County clutched his chest and almost lost his breath.

How should he answer this?

He is the head of the first department, so he certainly can't say no.

how? You, a minister, actually advised a criminal suspect that it would be best if he could get away with it?

How dare he say that!

He had heard that there was something particularly annoying about Wen Yan.

This guy loves to record when he's on the phone!

Cai Heizi's ghostly ring tone in Nanwu County had already become popular outside Nanwu County.

Later, Cai Heizi died, and the heat was over. After all, everyone must respect those who sacrificed their lives for the public.

The minister of Guanzhong County rubbed his head. He also began to miss Cai Heizi...
