Handbook of Nonhuman Research

The intern curled his lips and smiled very nicely, "What offerings do you want?"

"clothing!"

"cell phone!"

"delicious!"

The ghosts behind were chattering, and the leader shook his body, trying to make a fierce tone, "Money, hand over all the valuable things in your hands. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Niutou sat cross-legged on the back cover of the car behind Zhao Wugou, and imposingly punched the giant steel fork on the ground, shaking the ground in a radius of half a kilometer.

"Robbery? It's been so many years since I met someone so blind." Ma Mian walked over from the front of the car with his arms folded, and the exaggerated thick chains around his waist dragged on the ground, making a rattling sound. It's scarier than the sound effects of horror movies, making people creepy.

Just based on the appearance, the bull head and horse face is very shocking, and the appearance of the two of them made the scene instantly quiet.

Realizing that Wang Xuan, who was too talkative, also remained silent for a long time, Zhao Wugou turned around, only to see that he had already been fainted by Dan Ke, and was put into the passenger seat of the SUV.Dan Ke spread his hands, the following picture is too supernatural, not suitable for ordinary humans to watch.

Zhao Wugou shook his head helplessly, Tan Ke was really thoughtful, he just hoped that the way he invited Wang Xuan to sleep was as gentle as possible.The human brain is very fragile.

"Oh my god, it's bull-headed horse noodles!"

"Help!"

After a while, the group of ghosts who reacted exploded, crying for their parents and mothers in fright, and they were defeated.While fleeing in all directions, there were two panicked ones who collided directly.

The horse's face showed its big white teeth, and he chased after him with a 'smiling smile', "Don't run away, I can't tell you what offering you want, but you can also tell me which layer of hell you want to live in."

Zhao Wugou: ……………

Thinking about it carefully, black and white impermanence and bull-headed horse face seem to be the most famous of the underworld in the human world, right?There are countless legends, no matter the name or the image, they are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.The kind that can stop children from crying at night.

The leader didn't run away, and he didn't know if he didn't react, or his feet were soft, anyway, Zhao Wugou could clearly see that his body under the cloak was shaking.

"Otherwise, say it!" Niutou urged impatiently, his voice was like thunder.He was so frightened that he sat on the ground fiercely, and his body was broken in two.

Zhao Wugou:! ! !

Danke stepped forward, stretched out his hand to lift off the cloak, and saw two cute children of Yuxue sitting on the ground. Bellyband and white silk trousers.The strangest thing is that they not only have only one eye on their faces, but only one side of their arms can move. They seem to be symmetrical, one can move the left arm and the other can move the right arm.

The two children looked up at Zhao Wugou and Niutou with tears in their eyes, with weak, pitiful and helpless expressions.After being stunned for two seconds, he hurriedly went to find the mask on the ground, put it crookedly on his face, and cried loudly, "Bullying people, it's too bullying!"

Zhao Wugou: ……………

Are you sure you are human?

After Zhao Wugou asked, he realized that the two in front of him were Zhaoshui's spirit beast Man Man, called Man Zuo and Man Right respectively.They are born as halves of each other, and together they can fly.Because showing up will attract floods, and in the past it was a vicious beast that everyone shouted and beat.Only then did Zhao Wugou understand why the two children were so anxious to put on their masks just now.It turned out that they were afraid of flooding.

The bellybands on their bodies are not embroidered with mandarin ducks, but their prototypes.Well, it looks like a wild duck.

This robbery gang really has no fighting power.In the time it took for them to lift the cloak, Ma Mian had already captured all those who had fled in all directions, bundled them up and threw them beside the two children.Zhao Wugou took a look, there were a few guys with bruised noses and swollen faces, so miserable that people couldn't bear to look directly at them, and he didn't know if they fell by themselves, or they were beaten by horses when they tried to resist/arrest.

Seven lonely ghosts, two unidentified children, organized a gang to rob on the national highway in the middle of the night?

According to their own accounts, Man Zuo and Man Right hid in the mountains because they were not liked by others, and lived by occasionally stealing offerings from mountain gods when they woke up.However, there are fewer and fewer enshrined mountain gods.Waking up this time, they were hungry and met a few lonely wild ghosts wandering nearby. Under the suggestion of the wild ghosts, they formed a group to play the idea of ​​passing pedestrians.

They rely on the heavy rain or fog raised by Man Zuo and Man Right to cover them, and then sprinkle nails on the road to rob them. They have done this three times, and they have been unimpeded and rewarding every time.Unexpectedly, it was unlucky to be robbed by Lord Judge and Bull Head Horse Face today.

Zhao Wugou said in a deep voice, "Apart from passers-by, have you robbed any nearby villagers?"

Man left and man right blinked their one eye in unison like twins, "Rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests."

Oh, and you have your own rules of conduct.Interns poke the heads of current criminals.

The evidence of the crime is conclusive, and Ma Mian recruits the underworld agents to take away the crying wandering ghosts, while Man Zuo and Man You are brought by them to be sent to Beijing North Public Security Bureau.

After grabbing Man Zuo and Man Right, the surrounding fog has cleared.Wang Xuan was still in a coma, and the driver was replaced by Niu Tou again.

Man Zuo and Man You were beaten up by the bull's head, with chains hanging on their feet, they huddled obediently behind the car seat.Zhao Wugou idly fiddled with the golden dragon he fished from the lake, trying to find some inscriptions on it.

Man Zuo, wearing a mask, poked his head out curiously from the left side of his shoulder, "Hey, isn't this Jin Jian Tou Long?"

Man You also leaned over from the right side of Zhao Wugou's shoulder, "No, it's the golden dragon throwing the dragon golden slip."

"Whatever it is, it's what the Taoists use anyway."

Zhao Wugou's heart skipped a beat, "You guys know this thing?"

"I know, Taoist priests in the past liked to tie this thing with jade and other things, throw it into the mountains or lakes to worship, and make demands on the Three Officials!" Man Zuo blew boredly with his small face Blowing the bangs of his birthday peach head.

"But they are so annoying, and they toss for a long time every time. When I squatted on the tree and listened to them chanting the banzhuxiang, I felt a headache. The right hand curled the rope on his apron with his fingers, with a look of lingering fear.

The Three Officials refer to the Taoist Heaven Officials, Earth Officials, and Water Officials.Zhao Wugou touched the golden dragon, this one was found in the water, so it is basically certain that it belongs to the water gold dragon worshiping the water official.

Man Zuo lowered his head, curled up the small lock of bangs on his forehead with his fingers, moved closer to Zhao Wugou's side and took a closer look, "It looks like it should be the one that the woman used last time, right? "

"That's right, it's the empress. I remember her being the most generous. She set up several tables just for fruit offerings." Man You echoed.

"It was so good in the past. Those emperors from the human world always came to pay homage to the three officials, and they would bring a lot of delicious food." Man Zuo put his index finger in his mouth, recalling the good life in the past with longing.

"That's right." Man You also put his index finger into his mouth at the same time, reminiscing about the delicacies he ate on the pretext.

Gululu, the stomachs of the two little guys beating drums at the same time.

Zhao Wugou: ……………

The intern looked through, and there was only a piece of hazelnut chocolate in his backpack. He occasionally had low blood sugar, so he habitually stuffed a piece of chocolate in his bag.He broke the chocolate into two halves, and just about to distribute it to Man Zuo and Man Right, he suddenly had some doubts, can ducks eat chocolate?

Man Zuo and Man You didn't care so much, they snatched the thing from his hand, and swallowed it voraciously.

Zhao Wugou: ……………

It seems, it seems, all right?

Man Zuo and Man You who had eaten quieted down, curled up on Zhao Wugou's left and right shoulders and fell asleep.

Zhao Wugou searched for the Longjin slips according to their prompts.The direction of the female emperor is too clear. In the history of China, there is only such a famous female emperor.

The results he found made him a little bit tongue-tied.

Many years ago, someone found a piece of gold slip signed by Wu Zhao in the crevice of the cliff. At present, this piece of gold slip is the treasure of the local museum and is invaluable.According to what Man Zuo and Man You said just now, the golden dragon in his hand was cast by Wu Zhao himself, so isn't it also a national treasure?

Zhao Wugou hastily wrapped the golden dragon in layers of paper towels, stuffed it into his backpack, and planned to hand it back to Wang Xuan, so that he could send it to the local museum the next time he came to visit his father.

After passing the service area, Zhao Wugou took the two little guys who provided information to have a good meal,

"My lord judge, you are so kind!" Man Zuo and Man You were moved to tears, holding their jobs and said in unison.

It was already late at night when we returned to the north of Beijing. Niutou took Man Zuo and Man You to the Public Security Bureau. After Zhao Wugou and Dan Ke put Wang Xuan back in the room, they forced themselves to take a shower, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep. .

The next morning, Zhao Wugou helped the professor to get a copy of the materials.When I came back, I passed by the Silk Museum, and found a white chubby figure, coiled by the window of the folk supplies store next to the museum, twisting and twisting, with a small red and green happy bundle on its head , Who else could it be if it wasn't the daytime?

Fortunately, he still knows how to be invisible, otherwise he would have scared the passers-by.Zhao Wugou sighed, walked over and poked its tail, "What are you doing?"

During the day, he was holding on to the window and peeking vigorously into the window, when someone poked his tail, he froze immediately in fright.When he found out that it was Zhao Wugou, he relaxed, flicked his tail softly, obediently placed it on Zhao Wugou's arm, and talked about it from left to right, "No...no reason."

Zhao Wugou suddenly remembered that the last time Little Hades fought with it, it also appeared here.

"The owner is your friend?" Zhao Wugou also looked inside curiously. This store sells all folk items, and no matter how you look at it, a snake can't use it.So, it knows the people inside?

He remembered that Niutou had investigated last time, and there was only an ordinary person in this shop with a slightly disabled leg.

"Yeah." Seeing that he couldn't hide it, the little white snake had no choice but to nod honestly with its round head covered in flowers.

"Welcome, is there anything you want to buy? Just take a look." Seeing Zhao Wugou standing at the door, the owner opened the door with the remote control and greeted him warmly.

The other party is a very heroic young man. When he smiles, he will show eight beautiful teeth, giving people a very sunny feeling.

Zhao Wugou walked in generously.

"Hey!" Tiantian didn't have time to stop it, so scared that he tightly stuck to Zhao Wugou's arm, and he could feel its tension from the tightness of the wrapping.

"Hi, I have a friend whose birthday is coming up recently, and I want to see if I can pick him a special birthday gift." Zhao Wugou greeted the shop owner calmly.

"For birthday presents, you can take a look over there. There are some more unique silverware over there." The owner pointed to the high cabinet of Duobaoge against the wall.

Zhao Wugou went over to take a look, and saw the dagger inlaid with turquoise, the magnifying glass with the handle made of Canglong Jiaozi jade belt hook, the small silver wine jug, the gourd-shaped silver pendant, and the accessories were actually two small vertical bars made of tortoise shell. They are indeed gadgets that cannot be seen anywhere else.

"How much is this?" Zhao Wugou casually raised the gourd pendant.

The shop owner was carving something with a knife. Hearing the sound, he looked up and smiled, "Is that friend of yours married? If you are not married, it is not suitable for gifting."

"Why? I think this thing is a car hanger or something. It's quite unique. Isn't the gourd able to dispel evil spirits and prevent bloodshed?" Zhao Wugou walked over to talk with the gourd pendant. He found that the owner's hand was half formed. The thing that he was looking for was actually a wooden snake?

The shopkeeper said kindly, "The gourd on the top means good luck, but the pair of miniature tortoiseshell chopsticks on the bottom means 'have a baby soon'. These things used to be given to newlyweds to hang on the bedside to pray for an early baby. use."

Zhao Wugou: ……………

Bai Wuchang outside the house, Dan Ke in the collar, and Bai Tian on his shoulders laughed like a trio.

"What you are carving is a snake?" Zhao Wugou rubbed his nose and awkwardly changed the subject amidst the laughter of all the ghosts.

"Yes, it's a friend who used to stand guard with me."

"Stand on guard?"

"When I was a soldier, I guarded the boundary marker on the border of Qingting Mountain." The shopkeeper smiled sheepishly, "I was discharged last year because I accidentally injured my leg."

"Border defense? It must be very powerful, right?" Zhao Wugou showed an envious expression.So, it seems that Bai Tian met him in Qingting Mountain.

"No, to be honest, it's very lonely and boring. Most of the time, besides me and it, there are only 150 mosquitoes alive." The shopkeeper smiled wryly and shook the wood carving in his hand.

"Have you counted mosquitoes?" Zhao Wugou was a little surprised.

"I've counted it." The shopkeeper scratched his forehead embarrassingly, "I'm not afraid of your jokes. When I was on guard, I counted the number of rocks on the mountain, the number of grass roots on the ground, and the number of mosquitoes flying on top of my head. Even a sparrow that fell , I can talk to it for a long time. It’s like a mental illness. It’s a coincidence that every time I count, those mosquitoes are 150.”

Even the mosquitoes have been clearly counted, what kind of loneliness it is.Zhao Wugou couldn't help being a little silent.

"I found it on the road when I changed guards and went back to the camp. It was injured a little bit. I saw that it was protecting animals, so I cleaned up the wound and put it back in the mountain. I remember putting it back at that time I even scolded it, "You are almost extinct, don't run on the road if you have nothing to do." Unexpectedly, this snake is very spiritual. Later, it often climbed near the boundary markers and brought gifts such as berries. , and will accompany me to stand guard. However, every time it persists until I change the guard, it falls asleep at my feet." The shopkeeper, who was trapped in the memory, showed a warm smile, obviously, that was the same for him. Happy time.

"That's because you have been standing guard for too long." Bai Tian, ​​who was lying on Zhao Wugou's shoulder, argued softly.

As if nothing had happened, he glanced at his shoulder, Zhao Wugou curled his lips, "No wonder you said it was a friend."

"Well, a very, very good friend." The owner looked at the semi-finished wood carving in his hand.

Bidding farewell to the shopkeeper, Zhao Wugou walked out of the shop and patted Tiantian's head, "You came to Beijing North for him?"

"In the past, he used to say that Qingting Mountain was too quiet. When he returned to Beijing, he would work hard to make money. Then he would buy a house in the busiest place in Beijing. He would open the windows every day and listen to the lively people below. Voice, in this way, he will feel that all the days he has endured in Qingting Mountain are worthwhile." Tian Tian flicked his tail, "But, his leg is injured, and he may not be able to make so much money. So I want to help him."

"Just relying on your ability to sleep?" Zhao Wugou poked at its forehead, you think making money is too simple.

"There is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart snake!" Bai Tian raised his round head and flicked his tail ambitiously, "My goal is to buy Yang Qi a house in the busiest place in northern Beijing."
