Handbook of Nonhuman Research

Hearing that somewhat familiar voice, Zhao Wugou suddenly raised his head, it really was that young stall owner!

Yan Jun, who was taking off the cuff buttons, gave a slight sideways glance, "Do you know that little glutton?"

"I've seen it before." Taotie?No wonder it's so edible!Zhao Wugou looked at the thin figure, and a lot of related words such as four big beasts and five dragons popped up in his mind.

Afterwards, the intern whispered about yesterday's strange case of 'snacks turned into copper coins'.

"It must be it." Yan Jun showed a rare smile, raised his hand and called the waiter, and directly bought Taotie and their table's order.

"Little uncle, thank you!" Taotie scratched the straw-like curly hair embarrassingly, it seemed a little afraid of Yan Jun, slipped to the door with its back against the wall, and then quickly rushed into the vast night.

Uncle?

"Its father, it can be regarded as a little friendship with me." Yan Jun rolled up his cuffs and threw two emerald cufflinks on the table.

Zhao Wugou: ……………

Just now a human being more than 2000 years ago, and now a dragon from ancient times, minister, your circle of friends, how old is the average age?

At ten o'clock in the morning the next day, Zhao Wugou and Yan Jun arrived at the foot of Gouhu Mountain on time.

"哗啦啦", the clear sky was caught off guard by heavy rain.

It seems that Bi Xing has arrived.Zhao Wugou looked up at the sky, and was about to take out the umbrella from his backpack when Yan Jun beside him pressed the button on the side of the car door, and a black umbrella popped out directly from the door.

The sterling silver umbrella pole, the skull umbrella handle decorated with crystal and platinum, and the unique storage method make the black umbrella full of luxurious style.

Sure enough, the Minister is suitable for this kind of high-end product with a sense of domineering and a strong sense of ceremony.Zhao Wugou sighed silently in his heart.

The third watch and the fourth watch were left at the foot of the mountain, Yan Jun raised his umbrella and followed Zhao Wugou up the steps in the rain, towards the mountain gate.A certain person originally wanted to hold an umbrella, but in terms of height and arm strength, he felt that he was no match for the minister, so he had to give up his plan to fight for it.

Turning the steps, they saw Tao Zhan, Bi Xing, Lu Bing, and two men and women with strange faces.The man was about forty years old, with rough skin, two deep forehead lines on his forehead, and an old army green raincoat.

The woman was about 25 or [-] years old, her half-length hair was randomly tied into a bun, and her face looked haggard.Zhao Wugou guessed that she might be the donkey friend who escaped after falling into the underground river.

"The two of them are going too?" The man in the army green raincoat asked straightforwardly, his questioning eyes kept wandering between Yan Jun in suit and leather shoes and Zhao Wugou in ripped trousers.

Are these people really here to save lives?

It was unreliable for these three young people to look gentle and flimsy before, but as a result, the two later were even more delicate-skinned and tender-skinned, and they felt more delicate than those on TV!

They're all just fooling around, right?The middle-aged man was already full of despair about today's rescue operation.

The despised Zhao Wugou silently reviewed himself, the clothes he was wearing really didn't look like he was here to do rescue work.Look at the three on the opposite side, they are all in suits. ──According to the regulations of the Public Security Bureau, you need to wear formal clothes during missions.

"Well, these two are also our colleagues." Lu Bing smiled habitually and gave a brief introduction to everyone.

The man in the raincoat is called Yun Chuang, a guide sent by the local authorities. He grew up in Gohu Mountain and is familiar with the surrounding conditions.

Zhao Wugou thought that the surname Yun was relatively rare, but after inquiring about it, he found out that almost everyone in the village at the foot of Gohu Mountain had the surname Yun.However, Yun Chuang did know the person named Yun Kai who bet the jade to them, and he was the youngest son of their old village chief.It is said that I usually do some transportation business, and take mountain goods to the wholesale market in the city.

The woman was just as Zhao Wugou expected, it was the donkey friend Huang Yan who escaped by luck.Originally, Yun Chuang didn't want to take her with him, but on the one hand, she didn't know exactly where her accident happened, so she had to go to the scene to find it; I insist on following.

Of course Tao Zhan and the others didn't mind that Heiwuchang didn't come this time. After a brief chat, everyone set off for the mountains.

Gouhu Mountain itself is rich in mountains and greenery, with beautiful scenery, and because of the hidden treasure folk song, it has added a lot of mystery, and the traffic of tourists has been good.The local government has carried out tourism development on its two main peaks. In addition to laying stone steps, guiding signs, and building resting pavilions and other necessary facilities, it has also repaired a Taoist temple on the top of the mountain and built several steles.

However, travel friends don’t like these man-made scenic spots. They prefer those semi-developed wild peaks and yearn for the beauty hidden in the inaccessible places, so the accident site is not in these planned scenic spots.

The guide led everyone away from the main mountain road, turned into a small road, and soon arrived at the area where Huang Yan was found.After that, she can only lead the way.

Huang Yan's memory is rather vague, her sense of direction is poor, and she often makes mistakes. It took nearly two hours for them to reach a low peak.

"Are you sure it's here?" Bi Xing looked around while holding an umbrella, but he didn't feel any aura left by a monster.

"I remember that when I was resting, there was a tree on my right that was half-stripped by lightning." Huang Yan's expression was not confident, she stood on the short peak and looked around hard, trying to find the tree that overlapped with her memory .

"The right side? Which side is facing the right side? Eldest sister, can you say east, west, north, south?" Tao Zhan said violently, wishing he could shake the opponent's shoulder with his hands.For most of the day, I was feeding mosquitoes in the rain in the mountains.

"Don't worry, let me think about it..." After Tao Zhan yelled, Huang Yan's expression became more and more flustered.

"Absolutely, you're actually a road idiot." Tao Zhan was so angry that he kicked out a piece of gravel on the side of the road.

Huang Yan was so frightened that she shrank towards Zhao Wugou and Yun Chuang.

Zhao Wugou, who was drinking water, put down the water bottle and spoke for Huang Yan, "The testosterone in men/androgen/sex/hormones is in charge of the development of the brain in the spatial logical thinking area, so, in theory, it is indeed easier for women to Road crazy."

Crowd: ………………

"Cut." Tao Zhan snorted coldly and turned his head away.This person always has a set of fallacies.

Huang Yan's eyes revealed a look of admiration, and Yan Jun turned the umbrella in his hand towards Zhao Wugou with a stern face, covering someone airtight, isolating him from the rain or the eyes of outsiders .

After a brief rest, Huang Yan finally determined the direction, and everyone continued to move forward.The mountain road is getting steeper and steeper, and it is very slippery when it rains. In addition, there are many thorns around it, which greatly increases the difficulty of walking.

"I don't know when the weather will stop." The guide Yun Chuang walked ahead with a machete in his hand, looking up at the sky from time to time.Although the physical fitness of these young men was better than expected, the cloudy and rainy day always made him feel uneasy.

Bi Xing: ……………

It will stop when we enter the cave.Zhao Wugou answered him silently in his heart.

After going around for more than an hour, a cave halfway up the mountain finally appeared in everyone's sight.

Huang Yan was exhausted, so Yun Chuang helped her sit on a big rock to rest.Averting their eyes, Tao Zhan couldn't wait to pop out two paper talismans first, and let the ghost servant possess him to investigate.

Lu Bing jumped onto the branch to observe the nearby Feng Shui and the trend of the mountains. Bi Xing closed his eyes, lowered his eyebrows, and seemed to be listening to the sound of rain.

Zhao Wugou, who was walking at the end, looked at the surrounding situation, and then looked at the entrance of the cave not far away, his face was gloomy and unclear.

Without much effort, Tao Zhan, Lu Bing and Bi Xing walked over.Two lives were involved, and there was very little information in the early stage. Before making a bet, it was necessary to ensure the success of the rescue mission. Before they decided to take further action, they still shared information with each other.

"The green dragon is towering, the white tiger is low and round, and hundreds of officials are standing. There may be a tomb with excellent Fengshui near here." Lu Bing, who had carefully observed the terrain, spoke first.

Tao Zhan's eyes lit up, "Could it be the tomb where the treasure is hidden in the nursery rhyme?"

"I don't know."

"The air veins near the cave are somewhat disordered, and there are no traces of monsters living there for a long time. But there is indeed a remnant of spiritual energy, and there should be a big monster appearing here recently." Bi Xing added.

"The ghost servant also reported that there was an extremely powerful aura left in the depths of the cave. They didn't dare to approach, and watched from a distance, only to find one person." Tao Zhan repeated the news sent back by the ghost servant, "I think it is very likely Some of them have already been killed, we should act without further delay."

Yan Jun exchanged glances with Zhao Wugou, "What do you think?"

"I originally thought it was a trap. But if there is any spiritual energy remaining, could it really be a monster?" Zhao Wugou frowned in confusion.

"Trap?" Tao Zhan narrowed his eyes.

Hearing Zhao Wugou's words, Lu Bing looked around, pondered for a moment, then raised his head suddenly, "You're right, that woman is lying."

"Stop playing charades, tell me what's going on." Tao Zhan looked at Zhao Wugou, then at Lu Bing, and said impatiently.

It was Bi Xing who answered, "The woman said that they were knocked unconscious by monsters and brought them to the cave. She accidentally fell into the underground river and was washed out along the current. It stands to reason that she should only be able to find the river bed at most. , I don’t know the way to the cave. However, she led us to find it here.”

"...What does she want to do?" The low IQ of the audience asked.

Both Zhao Wugou and Lu Bing shook their heads, unable to guess.Yan Jun had no intention of talking at all.

"Then go in and have a look, anyway, we're not afraid of beating us, but if we're playing tricks, who can beat him!" Tao Zhan tapped Zhao Wugou with his chin, and didn't realize at all that he was abusing others to destroy his prestige.

After discussing with several people, they decided to keep Bi Xing outside the cave.The rest followed Huang Yan and Yun into the cave.

The walls of the cave are smooth, the more you go inside, the heavier the humidity, and slippery moss grows in many places.It seems that the statement that there is an underground river in it is [-]/[-] out of [-] true.

Tao Zhan and Lu Bing waited in strict battle, cautiously.Zhao Wugou was very relaxed, with Yan Jun beside him, he was very at ease.On the contrary, Huang Yan ignored her fatigue and walked faster and faster, as if she was very worried about the situation inside.

The further they went, the more forks in the road. After about twenty minutes, they finally came to a wide hole everywhere. A man in sportswear was bound hands and feet, lying on the west corner, dying.

"Fang Xu!" Huang Yan screamed and rushed over, Tao Zhan and Yun Chuang also hurriedly followed to untie and save people.

Zhao Wugou didn't go over to join in the fun, and carefully looked at the cave in front of him. The walls were cut and the ground was covered with huge stones, which had obviously been excavated and repaired by hand. There were faint traces of carvings on the walls and the stones on the ground. Unfortunately, Because of the age, it is difficult to identify the specific content of the picture.

In the middle of the cave, there is a small stone platform that has collapsed, and the fallen stone slab beside it is broken into several pieces, and there are also several carved stone pillars horizontally.

There is a deep pool of over [-] square meters in the east, which is bottomless, and you can feel the cold air emanating from the pool water when you stand close.

Standing beside the pool is a two-meter-high stone tablet with a thickness of more than [-] centimeters.What is engraved on the stele is not a word, but a rune similar to a Taoist talisman.Zhao Wugou looked at Lu Bing, who shook his head, but did not recognize the rune.

A bronze chain as thick as a sea bowl was pulled out from the bottom of the stele, mottled with green rust, and broke on the edge of the pool.Judging by the appearance of the dust accumulated on the fracture, it must not be a recent thing.

"Eat, that monster ate him!" Fang Xu who woke up roared like crazy, kicking his feet wildly, Yun Chuang and Tao Zhan almost couldn't hold him down.

Zhao Wugou and Lu Bing, who were inspecting, hurried over.

Fang Xu is Huang Yan's boyfriend. According to him, when the monster came back and found Huang Yan missing, he was very annoyed and ate Huang Yan's younger brother Huang Wei.He fainted from fright.

"Eat it?" Lu Bing looked around suspiciously. There was no smell of blood, and he swallowed it whole?

Zhao Wugou sat on the ground opposite Fang Xu, comforting him with a gentle tone, "Don't worry, you are safe now, tell us about the situation at that time carefully. What did that monster look like, for example, what kind of animal did it look like?"

"It has long fangs. It looks like a tiger and a lion. It's not like a zoo. It's like a stone lion at the entrance of an ancient palace. The hair on the top of its head is curly." Fang Xu stretched out his hand and gestured.

"How big is it?"

"Just like a horse."

"When he ate your friend, did he swallow it or bite it?"

"Swallowed."

Intentionally misleading, Zhao Wugou curved his lips meaningfully, "No, monsters with fangs and sharp teeth like to tear up their prey and eat them, they won't swallow them whole."

"I, I remember wrong! It was torn up and eaten. It's over there!" Fang Xu pointed to the side in a panic.

"You're lying, we've seen it over there just now, and there's no blood at all."

"I... I don't know, I don't remember!" Fang Xu's face twitched, as if recalling some terrible situation.

Huang Yan rushed up, hugged him, and looked at Zhao Wugou with tears in her eyes, "Please don't force him anymore, I already have no younger brother, and I don't want to lose my boyfriend again."

Zhao Wugou stood up indifferently, patted the dust on his trousers, and said with a clear attitude, "Don't waste time, tell me how you all conspired to kill Huang Wei."

Huang Yan and Fang Xu were struck by lightning, their pupils trembled, and they froze suddenly.

"No, we didn't." Huang Yan shook her head in panic and denied.

"I was just skeptical at first, just to deceive you casually." Zhao Wugou looked down at her and sighed regretfully, "It seems that you really killed him and threw him into that deep pool."

"No, it's not us, he, he just stumbled...!" Huang Yan hugged her head in despair.Fang Xu's face changed suddenly, and he quickly covered Huang Yan's mouth, but it was too late.

"Okay," Zhao Wugou innocently spread his hands and raised his handsome eyebrows, "I was lying to you just now, but now I'm really sure."

Huang Yan & Fang Xu & Lu Bing & Yun Chuang: ……………

Just cheat?Tao Zhan glanced at Zhao Wugou in disbelief, are you a devil?

"No evidence is slander." Fang Xu calmed down instead, and hugged Huang Yan instead, showing an arrogant smile, "Do you have physical or personal evidence?"

"I'm sorry, but there are no physical or personal evidence." Zhao Wugou took a deep look at Fang Xu, "but I happen to have ghost evidence."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a strong wind in the cave.

The well-dressed Yan Jun stood by the pool, grasped it from the air calmly, and the calm pool water gurgled, forming a huge vortex, and a translucent figure broke through the water.

Fang Xu's smile froze on his face.

"Sister!" The trembling ghost broke through the water and rushed towards Huang Yan and Fang Xu.

"Ah!!!" Seeing that figure, Huang Yan screamed and covered her eyes, "Don't come here, don't come here!"

Fang Xu's expression cracked in an instant, he was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were splitting, and he backed away in a panic, "Help!!! I said, I said everything."

Yan Jun hooked the black umbrella in the air, stopped the new ghost lightly, and said coldly, "I'll give you three minutes."

Yun Chuang next to him looked at Yan Jun in astonishment, and then at Zhao Wugou.What a shame!Unexpectedly, these two people looked like porcelain dolls, but they were so powerful that they solved the matter almost effortlessly.

Huang Yan and Fang Xu's motive is simple, to seek family property.Huang Yan is the adopted daughter of the Huang family. She and Fang Xu are about to get married. They don't even have a house. They want to get the down payment for buying a house from their parents, but they only get a dowry of 10 yuan.However, the two houses of the Huang family planned to leave them to their own son Huang Wei.Huang Yan suddenly felt chilled.

When they were traveling this time, the three of them were separated from the main force. When they were sheltering from the rain, Huang Wei accidentally fell and injured himself.Then, they met a very strong young man and brought them to this cave. The young man called himself a monster, snatched Huang Wei's sportswear and ran away.There was no one around, Huang Yan and Fang Xu looked at Huang Wei who was lying on the ground, and made a murderous attempt.After Huang Wei's death, the Huang family's property can only belong to her!

After the two killed each other, inspired by the young man, they planned for a few days to fabricate the monster to hide it.Unexpectedly, Zhao Wugou directly saw his flaws.

Yun Chuang ran outside the cave to set off a signal flare, while Tao Zhan glared at the pair of murderers, "Wolf-hearted!"

"Sheng Mien, Dou Michou." Zhao Wugou shook his head helplessly.

"Being good is like ascending, and following evil is like falling." Yan Jun said flatly, when we meet in the underworld in the future, evil is like a mountain, and there must be three hells of iron trees, copper pillars, and oil pans.

"I think you can write a modern version of the "Book of Judgment Without Punishment." Lu Bing turned his head to look at Zhao Wugou, and solved the case in 5 minutes. He is indeed the reincarnation of a judge.

The rest is up to the errands and the Authority.Zhao Wugou didn't want to look at the two murderers any more, so he dragged Yan Jun to the stone tablet by the pool, trying to study the inscription again, he always felt that this place should be haunted by some kind of monster before.There is also Huang Yan and the others talking about the monster boy who snatched the sportswear. The intern remembered the sportswear he was wearing when he first saw Taotie. Could it be that boy is also Taotie?

Everyone was sighing, Fang Xu saw that no one was paying attention, quietly blocked with his body, and pressed a stone behind him.

The stone slab under his feet slid away silently, revealing the dark hole.Fang Xu dragged Huang Yan to stand up quietly, bowed and rushed in, and then the stone slab closed again.

Tao Zhan, who was the closest, quickly picked up a stone and kicked it, and it was stuck on two-thirds of the stone slab. The stone that "Kerala" was clamped made a tooth-piercing movement, and before he arrived, it was broken into two pieces.

Feeling the rotten air overflowing from under the stone slab, Tao Zhan was so angry that he kicked the stone wall, "You dare to enter this kind of mechanism, I think you two will die!"

Several people gathered around one after another, and Bi Xing also followed Yun Chuang into the cave, and trotted over quickly when he saw this.

"There is actually a mechanism under the cave? Could it be the legendary tomb?"

"How do they know?"

"I guess it was discovered during the few days I stayed in the cave."

"Looking at the situation in the cave, this mechanism has been at least a thousand years old, right?"

While several people were discussing, Lu Bing, who was good at mechanisms, quickly noticed something strange on the stone wall, and pressed down on one of them with his hand.

The stone slab just now slid away again, revealing the gloomy and dark hole, like a monster with its mouth open, ready to devour human life at any time.

An indescribable rancid smell rushed over, and everyone covered their noses one after another.Tao Zhan, who was squatting at the entrance of the cave, pinched his nose, turned on his mobile phone to take a picture, and saw that there was a zigzag staircase at the bottom, winding down, with no end in sight.The steps are very rough, not to mention the lights, and there are no handrails.

And the two who fled in were nowhere to be seen.
