seal of magic

"Recently, the police received a report and found two corpses in Maosong Mountain, with obvious bite marks of large beasts on their bodies. According to the preliminary judgment of the forensic doctor, the bite marks were fatal, and the two should be killed by the same beast. At present The beast has not been captured yet, and the police remind local friends not to go up the mountain in the near future to avoid danger. At the same time, there is no need to panic too much, the police will arrest the beast as soon as possible. Please continue to pay attention to the report of this station for the follow-up progress."

At the same time, Zhong Qingyu's phone rang.

"Are you talking about the incident in the news just now?" Zhong Qingyu was mainly listening to the phone call, and basically didn't speak. Qi Shao couldn't judge what the other party said from Zhong Qingyu's side, so when he saw Zhong Qingyu put down the phone, he hurriedly asked .

"Well. Those two people were construction workers over there, and they were not killed together. But the traces at the scene are very similar, and very strange: there are signs of a small area of ​​​​burning near the place where the two were killed, and one of them also had half of his body burned. In addition, there is a nearly two-meter-wide water stain that extends all the way to the lake. Most of the beasts that attacked them came out of the lake."

"No lighters or cigarettes were found on the bodies of the two deceased. The police asked their co-workers, and the two of them did not usually smoke. The burn marks should not have been caused by their own littering of cigarette butts. Therefore, the comprehensive inference is very strong. It may be some kind of monster." Zhong Qingyu told Qi Shao the information he learned on the phone.

"Since it's a construction worker, aren't there any witnesses around?"

"No. One died at around [-]:[-] am, and the other at around [-]:[-] am. They probably got up to go to the toilet." Zhong Qingyu turned off the TV and went upstairs to pack his things.

Qi Shao followed up and asked, "Are you leaving now?"

Zhong Qingyu: "That thing killed two people in one day, and there is no time to delay. Zhao Long is on the way now, and he is the person in charge of communicating with the police in our area. I will go to the county bureau to meet him first, and have a look at it." The corpse will go to Mosong Mountain later.”

As he spoke, he opened the suitcase and took out a small dark blue kit with a rope on it.He took out the talisman paper that was originally in the kit and put it into his backpack, and handed the kit to Qi Shao: "You can put the jade pendant I gave you last time and wear it around your neck, it's good for your health .”

Qi Shao took it, and obediently went to the next drawer to take out the jade pendant, put it in and put it on.After he came back last time, he was afraid that he would lose it or break it with his body, so he kept it carefully and never took it out. Unexpectedly, Zhong Qingyu was still thinking about it.

"Then I'm leaving. Don't go to Maosong Mountain for a few days, and we will go find the seal after we catch that monster." After packing up his things, Zhong Qingyu knocked on the door of Qi Shao's room.Although it is very likely that he will face great danger in the future, when talking to Qi Shao, he still smiled, looking as relaxed as if he was just going out for a trip.

Looking at Zhong Qingyu dressed up now, Qi Shao recalled the scene when they met for the first time and the case by case in Zhong Qingyu's notepad.If you hadn't seen Zhong Qingyu injured and embarrassed in Dong Wende's cave, just looking at his current expression and the concise records in the notebook, you might really think that exorcising demons is an easy task for them.

For a moment, Qi Shao almost blurted out "Let me go with you".The last time Zhong Qingyu went on a business trip, he didn't think so, but this time Qi Shao was very worried. It is obviously the same danger, probably because the feelings for Zhong Qingyu now are different from those at that time.

Although he really wanted to go with Zhong Qingyu, his rationality told him that with his current ability, staying by Zhong Qingyu's side could at most give him some psychological comfort, and he might not be able to help him in real danger.

Reason and emotion Qi Shao has always listened to the voice of reason.He restrained himself, sent Zhong Qingyu out, and only said to him "Be careful and be safe" when we parted.

Zhong Qingyu's smile was still so warm and beautiful. He stretched out his hand, not knowing whether he wanted to touch Qi Shao's cheek or hair, but he retracted it before he touched it, and said, "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to me. You should rest early Bar."

After Zhong Qingyu left, Qi Shao checked that it was getting late, so he packed up the talisman paper and cinnabar on which he had drawn the talisman earlier, took a shower and went to sleep.

Opening his eyes, he came to the lake again.

Strange to say, since he had dreamed of this scene when he first came to Taolin Town, he hadn't dreamed of it for a long time.

This time he dreamed not of the lake during the day, but at night.With the bright moon hanging high, even though it was night, the surroundings could still be seen clearly, not to mention Qi Shao's night vision has always been good.He looked around and saw a construction baffle not far behind him, and a construction shed further away.

This is clearly what the lake looks like recently!

Is this not a dream? !What brought him here?Qi Shao immediately became vigilant.

At this moment, he heard a slight movement, as if someone was coming this way.He quickly hid behind a tree to observe the situation.

The person who came here was about 1.7 meters five, with a slightly fat body and a little balding.Qi Shao took a closer look and found that it was their manager Feng Ming!As an assistant to the manager, he deals with Feng Ming almost every day. He is very familiar with Feng Ming's figure and appearance, and he will never make a mistake.

Strange, why did he sneak here alone in the middle of the night?

I saw Feng Ming walking around the shore, and then jumped into the lake.

Time passed little by little.Qi Shao didn't wear a watch all the time, and he didn't have his mobile phone with him now. He couldn't accurately determine the time when Feng Ming dived into the water, but he estimated that he hadn't emerged for at least ten minutes.

How can this be?An ordinary person just jumped into the water without any equipment or special preparation, and then held his breath for more than ten minutes!

Could it be drowning?Qi Shao was hesitant to go closer to see what happened, when Feng Ming suddenly appeared in the center of the lake.He swam back to shore, sword still in hand.It was far away, and Qi Shao couldn't see the material of the sword clearly, but what was certain was that Feng Ming definitely didn't have it in his hands when he went down.It looks like he dived to the bottom of the lake most of the night looking for this.

After getting the things, Feng Ming left in a hurry.

Qi Shao thought about it, and decided to follow Feng Ming to see what he was up to.He was about to act when he heard a gurgling sound.He turned his head to look at the lake, and the whole lake was bubbling like boiling, and then a huge monster rushed up from the lake.

Qi Shao sat up suddenly and found himself still on the bed in the bedroom.It was almost dawn, and there was no monster staring at him in front of him.He lay back on the bed, waiting for his heartbeat to calm down.

He touched the phone from the bedside table and checked the time. It was almost six o'clock.He recalled the dream just now from the beginning to the end, and then pressed Zhong Qingyu's number.

It was connected quickly.

"What's wrong? Did something happen to you?" Knowing that Qi Shao usually wouldn't call him at this time, Zhong Qingyu's voice was nervous.

"I'm fine, I had a dream just now. Do you remember what I told you about the lake on Maosong Mountain?" Qi Shao recounted the dream in detail without missing a single detail. I hope Can help Zhong Qingyu avoid some dangers, "I saw a monster in the lake, it's Jiuying!"

The last time Zhong Qingyu told Qi Shao that Zhong Zhaocheng had taken the mission to kill Jiuying back then, and Qi Shao checked the information and legends about Jiuying after he came back.In the dream, the monster has a snake tail and nine snake heads, and it can breathe fire and water, so it's true.It's just that Qi Shao is not sure if this dream is because he has read Jiuying's information and thought about it day by day, so he dreamed that the monster in the lake was Jiuying.

"Spirituality has its own mysteries, and there are also psychics in dreams." Zhong Qingyu didn't pay attention to Qi Shao's words because it was a dream, and asked carefully: "You said Feng Ming took a sword?"

"Yes. I'm a little far away, so I can't see the exact shape, but it doesn't look like it's made of metal." Qi Shao replied.

Zhong Qingyu on the other end didn't speak immediately, and seemed to walk to a secluded place with the phone, and then whispered to Qi Shao: "The weapon my grandfather used all the year round was a mahogany sword, which disappeared with him. It is very likely that When my grandfather used this sword to seal Jiuying here, Feng Ming took the sword and released Jiuying."

"But why did he do this?" Qi Shao was puzzled, and what also puzzled him was Feng Ming's super long diving time.

Zhong Qingyu: "Feng Ming may already be dead."

This made sense, and it matched Feng Ming's darkening complexion.

"Then will you investigate him?" Qi Shao asked.

Zhong Qingyu was silent and seemed to be thinking.Qi Shao immediately understood that Feng Ming took the sword and released Jiuying, which proved that this matter was likely to be involved in the disappearance of Zhong Qingyu's grandfather.If Feng Ming is really dead, the police will definitely investigate, and Jiuying's appearance, there is no way to hide it, but since it is related to the Seal of Sealing, Zhong Qingyu probably does not want this to be known in advance.

"Otherwise, if you can't leave now, I'll go to Feng Ming to investigate the situation first?" Qi Shao gave Zhong Qingyu an idea.

"But this may put you in danger." Zhong Qingyu hesitated.

"You have to trust your teammates." Qi Shao took out what Zhong Qingyu had said again, but this time the trust and the trusted object were different, "Didn't you say that you still want me to be your partner? This little matter is okay. Besides, I'm Feng Ming's assistant, so it's normal to ask him about work, and I won't make him suspicious."

Zhong Qingyu has seen Qi Shao's acting skills several times, and he has great confidence in this Zhong Qingyu.Hearing what he said, Zhong Qingyu said: "Then I will trouble you. Just find out the news, don't conflict with him."

Qi Shao smiled: "Don't worry, I know."
