Bu Tian Gang

This is the county seat, and the nearest office is the branch office in Shencheng. It takes several hours to drive, and everyone is in a mess, so they can only find a nearby farmhouse to rest for a while before going back.

But Liu Qingbo found a very important problem: they forgot to bring money, and their mobile phones were put on the shore because they were going into the water.

At this time, Dong Zhi contributed his own pocket, and said weakly: "It seems that there is still a little cash in it. Check it out, it should be enough for the boss to allow us to take a shower and have a meal."

Liu Qingbo: ...

As Dong Zhi said, the pocket was really small, with limited space, and there were only a few hundred dollars in cash left in it, and he didn't know how he stuffed those things in before.

As a result, the owner of the farmhouse saw that they were carrying swords and vomiting blood, so he dared not take them in. Liu Qingbo had no choice but to call Tang Jing. To pull away.

After a long time, everyone finally returned to Shencheng. Except for Long Shen, everyone was exhausted and didn't want to say a word. Halfway through the winter solstice, they leaned on Long Shen's shoulder and fell asleep. The car carried him to the hospital again, together with Liu Qingbo and Huo Jie, both of them were injured to varying degrees, and they were both admitted to the hospital for examination.

After all this was settled, Long Shen and Tang Jing went back to the sub-office to meet Song Zhicun who had been waiting there for a long time.

"How are they?"

Song Zhicun came up to him and asked, he received the news early in the morning, and after Tang Jing went to pick him up, he sat in the sub-bureau and waited while arranging security work for the upcoming international conference. Seeing that Long Shen came back unscathed, finally Breathe a sigh of relief.

Long Shen briefly explained the matter.

Song Zhicun took Long Shen's hand and shook it vigorously, "Long Ju, I really appreciate your hard work!"

He knew that Long Shen's few words sounded plain and simple, but in fact, the journey was bound to be full of dangers. If the ignorant Director Jiang were here instead, he might really think that Long Shen and the others would triumph easily.

"It's not easy for you to perform your duties." Long Shen patted him on the shoulder.

The three sat down separately.

Long Shen also talked about the information about the stele in Wuzhiqi's mouth, and finally said: "Before Tang Jing told me about the clues Mingxian provided before his death, and both of them can be matched, which means that the information should be correct."

Hearing the word "dying", Tang Jing's face changed slightly, and his hands on the table slowly tightened, but he still didn't say anything in the end.

Long and Song didn't pay attention to him, Song Zhicun frowned: "The Kunlun Mountains range is so wide, it's hard to find the formation!"

Long Shen: "I'll tell the Northwest Branch first, and ask them to launch a search operation. You can also pay attention to Dongyang's movement recently. We know that Otowa Hatohiko may not know about it."

Song Zhicun nodded, and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, speaking of Yin Yu, we have already found out his real identity, but it may sound a little weird. Director Tang, please tell me."

Tang Jing calmed down, and said in a deep voice, "According to what Mingxian said about Chaoxiang Jiuyan, we have found someone."

He pressed the remote control in his hand, and a black and white photo appeared on a large screen on the wall.

"Asaka Hatohiko, born in 1887, Japanese imperial family, Emperor Hirohito's uncle, because he was named Asaka Palace, known as Asaka Palace Hatohiko King, he was a general in the army during World War II," Tang Jing paused slightly, "also ordered the Nanjing The culprit of the massacre."

"But after the war, he was not sent to a military court. Thanks to the cover of the United States, the entire royal family was able to escape guilt. Asaka Hatohiko was only deprived of his imperial status, but still retained his wealth status. He lived until he was 94 years old, before he died. "

"We have checked that the Otowa Consortium rose up after World War II, starting with the military industry. Generally, this kind of industry has a political and economic background behind it, but the Otowa Consortium seems to have risen out of thin air, and Otowa Hatohiko also seems to have emerged out of thin air. people, but it would make sense if Asaka Hatohiko secretly prepared in advance with another identity."

"After discussing with me, Bureau Song thought that Otowa Hatohiko might have accidentally learned the secret of obtaining demonic energy, and with the help of Japanese onmyojis and priests, he succeeded in transforming demonic energy into immortality. In order to deceive others, he died at the age of 94 It's time to die as Asaka Hatohiko, and continue to live with the identity of Otowa Hatohiko that has been prepared."

The amount of information was so enormous that even Longshen needed a moment of silent contemplation.

"Any more?"

"Yes." Tang Jing said, "Mingxian's real body is Jinyinping Bunqin, which is a Japanese national treasure. If it were someone else, it would definitely not be easy for Otowa Hatohiko to take it, but since he is an imperial family, he wants to get these resources. Naturally, it is much easier than others. From the fact that he can repeatedly send Fujikawa Aoi and other onmyojis to China, those priests and onmyojis may have a deeper relationship with him than we imagined."

Song Zhicun added with a heavy tone: "I have already informed Director Wu about Dong Jilan's matter. His soul—"

Thinking of the torment Dong Jilan might have suffered during his lifetime, Song Zhicun was a little bit at a loss for words for a while, even for a person like him who has worked for many years, he had to try his best to endure his grief and indignation before continuing: "Since his soul has been integrated into Mingxian by Yin Yu His soul, presumably there are no ashes left long ago, Bureau Wu meant that he should be responsible for the recognition of the martyrs and the memorial service."

"Okay." Long Shen had no objection.

When the meeting came to an end, Song Zhicun was busy contacting the General Administration to arrange various aftermath matters. He got up and was about to leave, but Long Shen stopped him.

"Song Bureau, in ten days' time, the international conference will end. I will not go back to the capital, but will take the winter solstice to Hainan."

Song Zhicun was startled: "What?"

Long Shen said: "During the winter solstice, the surrender may have something to do with Han Qi's incident last time. I will take him to visit Chi's house to see if there is any way to relieve surrender."

He was just such an apprentice, although he didn't show it on the surface, Song Zhicun didn't know his attitude, and immediately said cheerfully: "You just go, there are me and Director Wu at the General Bureau!"

After thinking for a while, he said another word of comfort: "The winter solstice child is very lucky, I don't think anything will happen."

Long Shen nodded his head to express his gratitude.

After Song Zhicun left, Long Shen looked at Tang Jing who was clearly depressed.

"Are you OK?"

Tang Jing forced a smile: "It's okay, Dragon Bureau left me alone, is there anything else to explain?"

Long Shen said: "Before we came out of Zhiqi Well, we broke the iron net that sealed the well. Later, you will have someone re-weld it to prevent tourists from falling into the well."

Tang Jing: "Success, I understand."

He really didn't have the mood to continue the discussion. He pressed his hands on the table and slowly got up, but he couldn't help being tired physically and mentally, and sighed inadvertently.

"You, are you with Mingxian..."

It was rare for Long Shen to hesitate for a moment, because with his temperament, it was impossible to ask other people's private affairs. Although Mingxian was Otowa Hatohiko's weapon spirit, he was dead now, and everything would disappear when a person died, let alone Tang Jing did not neglect his duties, and no one could blame him for dealing with Mingxian.

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Long Shen suddenly realized that he might have selfish intentions in asking this question.

Tang Jing didn't realize his selfishness, and all kinds of emotions in his heart were rushing, scrambling to be the first, already piled up like a mountain, crumbling, and urgently needed a channel to vent, Long Shen's question just opened the gap in his fragile form that was about to collapse.

"I thought that we were all acting on the occasion, and I was not a human being, and he was not a human being. Don't you think it's ridiculous for a mirror to fall in love with a piano? But when he died, I cried." Tang Jing Muttered, as if asking him, but also as if asking himself.

Long said nothing.

He knew that the other party didn't need his answer.

"If he has nothing to do with Otowa Hatohiko, maybe it's possible. The relationship between us has not been pure from the beginning. There is no way to talk about whether we love or not."

Tang Jing closed her eyes, as if she wanted to laugh at herself, but couldn't, the corners of her mouth curled up forcedly, but her eyes were red.

"Actually, I just realized now that after living for such a long time, it is so rare to suddenly meet someone who can see through my origins and who is in tune with me both in bed and off the bed. It turns out that I will be lonely and uncomfortable too. Longju, will you know?" ?”

Will he?

Long thought deeply.

He never stopped for anyone or anything before, but now, he has an apprentice, the winter solstice walks slowly, but he is walking hard, he walks fast, and he has to stop from time to time, waiting for the other party to catch up.

The two sides had their own thoughts, and the conversation naturally did not continue.

Tang Jing said: "The matter here is over, I want to take a long vacation and have a good rest."

Long Shen nodded: "At that time, submit a vacation report, but if there is an emergency, you still have to report back at any time."

Tang Jing smiled: "Naturally, the responsibility lies in the duty. Longju, if you deal with Otowa Hatohiko in the future, even if you have to go to Japan to kill him, I will be counted as one of them."

Long Shen stared at him for a moment: "Yes."

After leaving the branch office, Long Shen returned to the hospital.

He went to see Liu Qingbo and Huo Jie first. Their external injuries had been properly treated. As for their internal injuries, they had to be recuperated slowly. Long Shen had already asked the General Administration for Shangqing Pill, which should be delivered in a few days.

After a long and thrilling battle, everyone needed to rest. When Long Shen passed by, Liu Qingbo and Huo Jie were sleeping, and Dongzhi was no exception.This hospital is a public security hospital, and the Special Administration Bureau is also attached to it. Three people were injured on duty, so they were all assigned to separate wards, with a small living room and a separate bathroom. Can't fault anything.

Long Shen sat in the winter solstice ward for a while without moving, but he was still thinking about many things in his mind, including the winter solstice's descending head, Otowa Hatohiko, Bobei Ye, stone tablets, a myriad of thoughts, all of a sudden. .

Now that there are major breakthroughs and progress in the clues of the stele, the direction of searching in various places should also be changed, and it must be ahead of Yin Yu.

In the Dharma-ending Era, monsters have been revived one after another. Apart from Otowa Hatohiko and Bobei Ye, many things must have happened in the West recently. Maybe they should strengthen the exchange of information with them, and they can just take advantage of the opportunity of the World Exchange Conference.

There is also an upcoming international conference. Otowa Hatohiko returned home this time, and also damaged Mingxian Chengyuan one after another. He will definitely not let it go. We must strengthen our precautions, and we will discuss it with Song Zhicun and Tang Jing later...

Maybe it's because the surrounding environment is too quiet, infected by the sweet sleep of the winter solstice, maybe it's because Long Shen himself is a little tired, and all kinds of thoughts gradually fade away, just like the dark scene at the end of a movie, everything returns to nothingness, his consciousness is all precipitated, sinking Into the deep pool of dreams.

Dong Zhi blinked several times, looked at the snow-white ceiling above his head, listened to the cheerful calls of birds jumping up and down on the branches outside the window, and finally made sure that he was lying safely on a hospital bed, not in a dark underwater cave .

His limbs were sore from exhaustion, his arm had already been well-medicated, but the back of his hand was a little tingling, he saw that he had a bottle of glucose hanging beside his bed, and it was almost finished, so he pulled out the needle, sat up, Apart from feeling a little dizzy, there is no obvious discomfort.

If it hadn't been for Long Shen's words, he would never have thought that he had a lowered head.

The room was very quiet, so quiet that when he turned his head to the other side, he saw Long Shen sitting on the sofa and falling asleep.

In the impression of Winter Solstice, Long Shen rarely rests, and seems to be always full of energy. When everyone was tired in the hard battle in Yinchuan, Long Shen was still full of energy.He once thought that Long Shen might have slept for too long before turning into a form, so he didn't have to sleep after becoming a spirit, but he only dared to think about this cold joke in his heart. Now that he saw Long Shen sleeping, he finally got a little bit original The master also needs a sense of reality at rest.

He casually picked up the blanket beside the bed, and wanted to get out of bed to put on his shoes, but suddenly changed his mind, went straight to the ground barefoot, walked over silently, and gently covered Long Shen with the blanket.

Unexpectedly, Long Shen was alert to Ruosi, and he woke up almost as soon as he got close.

The movement of the winter solstice stopped in the air, so I had to explain: "I'm afraid you will catch a cold."

Long Shen sat up straight, nodded, took his blanket, but did not cover it, just put it aside.

"Master, can you sleep again?"

"No, I slept all night too." Long Shen glanced at his feet, "Why don't you wear shoes?"

Winter Solstice smiled awkwardly: "I was afraid I would wake you up."

Still woke up.

"Let me take a look at your body." Long Shen said.

Even though there was heating in the room, it was indeed a bit cold to be barefoot. Winter Solstice sat cross-legged on the sofa, and Long Shen asked him to hug him with a blanket to feel his pulse.

Dong Zhi looked carefully, and found that Long Shen's expression didn't change much. He couldn't tell from the other person's face whether he was terminally ill and had no cure, or just a minor ailment.

"Master, is my head lowering serious?" He asked tentatively.

Long Shen said: "I can feel that there is a force in your body that doesn't match your body, but for the specific situation, I have to go to Chi's house and ask Chi's house to take a look for you. I don't know much about Jiangtou."

Interlaced like a mountain, the winter solstice nodded clearly.

Long Shen asked, "How do you feel now?"

Winter Solstice said honestly, "It's okay."

It is indeed okay.Those mouthfuls of black blood were like hallucinations, and he didn't even feel the smell of blood left in his mouth.

"Master, are you done with your work? How is your preparation for the international conference?" It was the first time that he was alone with Long Shen after the reunion. He didn't know how to get along with Long Shen. .

Seeing that Long Shen didn't answer, he thought that he had inquired too much and exceeded the scope of his authority, so he hurriedly apologized.

Long Shen shook his head. In fact, he was just thinking about Dong Zhi's problems just now, and he was fascinated for a while.

"The meeting will end at the end of this month. We will go to Hainan by then. Before that, you should rest more."

Winter Solstice quickly realized: "Chijia?"

Long Shen nodded: "The Chi family is the only family of head-bending masters in China. Chi Banxia's father is an outstanding head-bending master. We have considered recruiting him into the Special Administration before."

Winter Solstice was a little curious, so he took advantage of the situation and asked, "Was he unwilling later?"

Long Shen: "At that time, Zhang Xiankun, the former director, paid more attention to his background, and believed that the head-dropping technique and witchcraft were crooked ways. Chi Banxia's father was young and vigorous at the time, and couldn't stand it, so he walked away, threatening that he would never be in special management again in his life. bureau."

Winter Solstice was quite surprised. In my impression, Chi Banxia was a sweet and lively little girl. I didn't expect her father to have such a hot temper.

Then again, Chi Banxia is now working in the Special Administrative Bureau, even if her father considers his daughter's face, he will not turn them away. Winter Solstice just has a faint feeling that the lowered head on his body may be Not so easy to understand.

Long Shen must also understand this, so he deliberately mentioned Chi's family to give him a reassurance.

The deeper the acquaintance, the more Dong Zhi can feel the care behind his indifference.

"Master, I'm sorry, I'm the one who made you worry. You didn't need to go through all these troubles, but now you have to take up your time for my private affairs."

"You were injured on business, it's not a personal matter." After saying this, seeing the other party's astonishment, Long Shen added, "I have annual leave, and I haven't been to Hainan for a long time, so I just happened to go for a walk."

Winter Solstice felt much relieved when he heard the words, and joked: "There are quite a few good sea view hotels in Sanya, and there are also infinity pools. How about I invite you to stay for a few days, so that we, master and apprentice, are on vacation?"

He just said it casually, and never thought that the other party would agree, but Long Shen thought about it and nodded.

"it is good."

Dong Zhi was stunned for a moment, and then uncontrollably, the scene of Longshen swimming breaststroke in the water with no expression on his face emerged.

No, stop, if he thinks about it any further, the fame of his master's first life will be wiped out in his mind!

The days of recovering from injuries are nothing more than the same, eat when you wake up, continue to sleep after eating, occasionally visit the neighbors Liu Qingbo and Huo Jie, and more often lie in bed during the winter solstice, as if to replenish the vitality of the past few days.

Long Shen is very busy every day, especially when the international conference is approaching. Although Song Zhicun and Tang Jing are there, he is also indispensable. The news introduction of this international conference was seen on the TV screen during the winter solstice, setting a record for the countries participating in the conference over the years , The leaders of many countries met Yunyun smoothly, and I couldn't help but think how much effort Long Shen and others put in behind the scenes.

But no matter how busy Long Shen was, he would come to the hospital to see the winter solstice, almost every other day, and he would stay here for a long time every time.

During this period, the winter solstice vomited black blood twice, but other than that, his body did not weaken further, nor did he suddenly open up the eight extraordinary meridians and become immortal. Eight hours of sleep, gradually extended to about ten hours, but this does not mean anything. When I went to school before the winter solstice, I knew that some of his classmates wished to stay in bed 24 hours a day when winter came.

On the other hand, Dong Zhi learned that in order not to startle the snake, the original search for stone monuments in various places like headless flies continued, but the General Administration had secretly ordered the search to focus on the dragon veins.

There are many large and small dragon veins in the south. First, the Qinhuai River area includes Jinling, which is consistent with the direction He Yu and the others were looking for, and now they can narrow the scope even more; , but whether or not a dragon vein is determined by whether or not an emperor emerges, it can barely be regarded as a small dragon vein; it extends westward, enters the Bashu area, and radiates around Chengdu as the center, including Mount Emei and Mount Qingcheng.In this way, He Yukan Chaosheng's workload has greatly increased.

In order not to worry them, Dong Zhi didn't mention to them that he might lose his head, but He Yu probably heard about it from Long Shen, and gave Dong Zhi a lot of messy ideas, even Kan Chaosheng called He called and said that if necessary, he could provide a piece of dragon scales. Dong Zhi could hear his concern from his arrogant and reluctant tone, and he couldn't help being moved, so he accidentally lost his wallet, and promised three big boxes of snacks, and signed a contract called The most willing unequal treaty.

The calm and lively days were not all smooth sailing. Bad news came from the Northwest Branch. According to the "Shaohua Journey Map" provided by the winter solstice and Liu Qingbo before, the Northwest Branch searched and searched near Shaohua Mountain. , finally found the location of the stele at the foot of Shaohua Mountain, but when they dug three feet into the ground and dug out the stele, they found that the least expected thing happened.

The stele was broken, and it was so thoroughly broken that it could not be restored at all, but even if it was restored, the formation here would have failed, and according to the comparative study of the soil composition around the stele, people from the Northwest Branch found that the soil around the stele had been damaged for hundreds of years. None of them have been touched, that is to say, the stele may have been damaged hundreds of years after the painting, and the murderer is naturally nowhere to be found. It may be related to monsters, or it may be the unintentional destruction of ordinary people.

However, the Northwest Branch looked through the local county annals and ancient books in Hua County where Shaohua Mountain is located, and it really allowed them to find a clue that might be related to this.

Decades after the painting of "Shaohua Journey", that is, in 1556 AD, the most serious earthquake recorded in the Ming Dynasty and even the world so far occurred, with more than 80 deaths.According to the records of the local county chronicles that have been kept until now, the earthquake happened at midnight at midnight. Some people saw that the area around Shaohua Mountain was as bright as day, mixed with red light, as if the sun was rising, and day and night were reversed. After that, a frightening event happened. move.

Of course, this discovery may not be able to explain anything, after all, in the ancients' writings, whenever natural disasters and man-made disasters occur, there will always be visions to show the heaven's induction, whether it is true or false, it is unclear.

However, this matter was not fruitless, at least eight steles, four of which were known so far, and one Shaohua Mountain was missing, which meant that they only needed to find the remaining four steles.

It was only at this time that Dong Zhi realized the troubles caused by the fall of his head. Like Liu Qingbo and Huo Jie, although they are still lying in the hospital at the moment, resting in the name of recuperating, if there is no accident, they will be able to return to the hospital soon. At work, and for him, this time may be longer-unknowingly, he has become accustomed to the thrilling days of running around, painting is a lifelong hobby, and in the Special Administration Bureau, he found Ideals and dreams worthy of his constant pursuit. There are a group of companions with different personalities, friends who are worthy of entrusting life and death, and people he likes and respects most.

Long Shen was not idle either. He sent an email to the Association of White Robe Head Lowering Masters in Southeast Asia to inquire about the situation of the winter solstice, and got a quick reply.

The person who replied to him was a very famous head-bending master in Thailand and the vice president of the association, named Xinchai. It is said that he is also one of the imperial head-bending masters.Xinchai told Long Shen that since he didn't meet Dongzhi himself, he didn't dare to make a conclusion lightly, but according to the description, it is very likely that Dongzhi was hit by the head-bending master, and it was the head-bending master of the black robe.

There are thousands of types of head lowering in the world, among which there are many ingenious head lowering techniques created by the head lowering master himself.There are causes and effects in the world, and the head drop technique is no exception. Dropping the head harms others, and the victim will also suffer backlash, and the serious one will also die. Many head drop masters are reluctant to do it easily, but there is also that kind of unscrupulousness. A head-down master must take someone's life with his shots, and he will use a substitute to eliminate the backlash of the head-down technique, so he can continue to do whatever he wants, and even deliberately catch people without killing them, and torture the victims in every possible way. Die with resentment, and then refine the resentment into a subdued head, the one in the middle cannot be solved.

The Guru’s letter of letter guessing ended with a meaningful sentence: I have traveled all over the world in these years, and I have seen countless bizarre things. Dragon, my dear friend, you can never imagine how vicious human nature is. Wish you all the best! Good luck to your disciple.

Although he didn't say it clearly, the implication is that even if he saw Dong Zhi with his own eyes, he might be helpless with the lowered head on Dong Zhi's body.

If Lian Xinguei, a master of the head drop technique, said so, would it be necessary to go to Chi's house in Hainan?
