Hit the yin and yang road

Recently, there is not much business in the Dafu branch, but many celestial masters come here admiringly.Some wanted to join the sub-bureau, but failed the basic assessment.There are also some people who feel that it is safe to cooperate with people from the Daifuku branch, so they discuss cooperation with them to receive orders.Chen Yang also refused, because except for the three-star and above orders, they need to cooperate with the celestial masters outside the branch when they are short of manpower, so far there is no shortage of manpower.

What's more, coming to the sub-bureau to look for cooperation is mostly Samsung's list, and they naturally refused.Although I don't dislike the difficulty of the list, I don't want to spend money and work hard to distribute the rewards to others in the end.

Chen Yang looked down from the window, Ma Shanfeng and Du Shuo were sitting at the stone table in the courtyard drinking tea and blowing the air.At this time, the sky is full of sunset glow, such as brocade and satin, brilliant and colorful.Two days ago, Ma Shanfeng cast a few koi in the lotus tank in the courtyard, flicking their tails from time to time to disturb the calm of the water surface and make some movement.There are other flowers and plants planted in the courtyard, which are usually served by Ma Shanfeng.

Ma Shanfeng spent a lot of time tending the flowers and plants, watering and loosening the soil frequently, and each flower and plant remembered their habits.With care, the natural growth is extremely gratifying.Residents nearby sometimes pass the gate and come in to appreciate the flowers and plants inside.Sometimes they even ask for a pot or two, but Ma Shanfeng won't let them take it unless they change it.

This method puts an end to the minds of some people who are greedy for flowers with good growth but can't grow flowers, and occasionally exchange for flowers that are carefully handled by flower lovers.Gradually, the types of flowers in the courtyard increased and became the characteristics of the branch.The nearby residents smelled the fragrance of flowers, and came over to find that there was such a sub-district office in Shenchun Community.

The Shenchun Sub-district Office is not in the community, so when you know that there is a sub-district office, nearby residents come to find the bureau staff if they have something to do.Ma Shanfeng and the others were deeply annoyed, so they replaced the leaky iron block with the Dafu Branch of Shenchun West Community.

What is the specific work, without comment.

Du Shuo suddenly raised his head, met eye contact with Chen Yang who was upstairs, and beckoned him to come down.Chen Yang smiled, then turned and went downstairs.Seeing Zhang Qiudao playing games with his mobile phone downstairs, he said casually, "Zhang Qiudao, have you given up upgrading the five thunder scriptures?"

Zhang Qiudao didn't raise his head: "The Taoist Association made it clear that I won't be promoted in the next two years."

"why?"

"The celestial master world stipulates that there is no merit and no promotion. Even if you pass the school, you must have superior merit. There is an interval of eight years between the promotion of Mengwei and the five thunders. I have only completed six years. Unless I have made special contributions during this year to let me The Taoist Association made an exception to promote it. Otherwise, there is no need to consider the matter of promotion within two years." That's why he played games depressed.

"Isn't your accumulation of merits enough?"

"Not enough. Before, I received two-star orders. Originally, the order of no-man's village was completed, and the accumulation of merit was enough." It was a pity that it failed.

Chen Yang nodded to express regret, and then went out.In the corridor of the courtyard, he bumped into Kou Xuanling, who was holding a mahogany sword and frowning deeply.When Kou Xuanling saw Chen Yang, he pulled him with a solemn expression: "Chen Bureau, take care of the safety of our branch office. Recently, my private life has been disturbed, and I am very troubled."

Speaking of which, this incident was caused by the flowers raised by Ma Shanfeng. The flowers were the cause, and the subsequent development was unexpected.Kou Xuanling would wear a Taoist robe and dance swords in the courtyard in the morning and evening after worshiping the patriarch. The gate was closed, and few people passed by the gate, so no one saw it.

Later, it became lively, and young people also came over.I happened to see Kou Xuanling wearing a silk Taoist robe and dancing with a sword. The sword was beautiful and powerful, not a show.In addition, Kou Xuanling is good-looking, and he looks like he doesn't talk or smile, and with the Taoist robe, he is the priest of the abstinence department.When a young man recorded a video and posted it on the Internet, many young people came over to watch it under the guise of a cover.

Chen Yang sighed that beauty is a scourge, and then said that the budget of the branch office is not enough.Moreover, this is a personal issue, not a work issue.He rejected Kou Xuanling's proposal, and said: "They are just curious, and they will quiet down after a while. Anyway, you are now a moderate Internet celebrity, and Internet celebrities are easy to get angry. Trust me. Otherwise, you Sword dance cancelled?"

Kou Xuanling frowned: "No way. After worshiping the patriarch, you must dance the sword, and the patriarch will be unhappy if you don't see it."

"Okay." Chen Yang couldn't help: "We can't raise the fence. If the fence is too high, it is a sign of poverty. And we can't drive away all the people, after all, they will use drones to take aerial photos."

Yes, drone photography.It happened that a girl who was obsessed with Kou Xuanling's beauty and abstinence was a member of the university drone club, and sometimes she brought the drone over to take aerial photos when she needed to hand in club assignments.

Kou Xuanling frowned and stared at Chen Yang for a while: "Why don't they take pictures of you?" Chen Yang was obviously prettier than him.They also didn't shoot Du Shuo and Zhang Qiudao, and they were also good looking.

Chen Yang walked past Kou Xuanling, and said lightly, "Because we all hid after we noticed the sneak shots, and the other party couldn't even take pictures if they wanted to."

Kou Xuanling didn't know that the Dafu Sub-bureau was well-known on the Internet. Netizens all knew that there was a small building in a certain community with an extremely beautiful courtyard, like a small rural building.Just watching the video makes me feel refreshed and relaxed.What's more, the people in it are handsome and have outstanding temperament, although I don't know why they can't get rid of people other than Kou Xuanling when shooting.

Originally, no other people's faces appeared in the video, and the netizens only licked the screen. The up master vowed to ensure that all the staff are handsome and beautiful, even the middle-aged uncle is a handsome uncle, with an inexplicable sense of demeanor and extraordinary sense of sight.Later, there were more and more people who affirmed the up and left a message. The impression of the branch was that they were good-looking, but they couldn't get a good picture of their faces.

"You?" Kou Xuanling was shocked: "You didn't tell me?"

"No. We all thought you knew, but we were too embarrassed to refuse their enthusiasm. So even if it bothers you, let them take pictures. Thanks to your kindness, we won't remind you."

Kou Xuanling held his breath and couldn't speak, he didn't expect this at all.There are so many talismans of the celestial master, and it is easy to solve his troubles by using a talisman to affect the video shooting.Pian Kou Xuanling was upright and did not expect this method at all.The other people in the sub-bureau were also mean-spirited and didn't take the initiative to tell him.

Zhang Qiudao heard their conversation, glanced at Kou Xuanling when he came in, and sneered.When Kou Xuanling heard this, he held his breath even more.The new colleagues are too unfriendly, and Kou Xuanling, the Taoist master of abstinence, silently complained when he was offering incense to the patriarch.

Chen Yang sat down beside Du Shuo, with Ma Shanfeng beside him.Du Shuo poured him a cup of tea, but Chen Yang thought it was bitter tea and wanted to refuse it.Du Shuo said: "Four Seasons Health Tea, not bitter."

Chen Yang looked at Ma Shanfeng, who said with a smile: "I don't drink tea before meals, I can only drink some health-preserving tea." Then he picked up the cup and took a sip, sweetly acceptable.

Du Shuo pinched the back of Chen Yang's neck: "Still dizzy?"

Chen Yang shook his head: "I just got up a little bit, and stood by the window for a while. Now I drink tea to refresh my mind." He took a nap today, and he would feel a little dizzy after sleeping.Du Shuo asked if he would still be dizzy. He took two sips of tea and said, "I'll cook later. What did you buy today?"

Ma Shanfeng: "Zhang Qiudao and Kou Xuanling went to buy them. One of them likes to eat chicken legs, and the other likes to eat fish. Plus, Mao Xiaoli likes to eat meat, so they bought a bunch of pork belly. I only bought a few dishes, and I ordered them to eat. Reluctant to buy."

He shook his head, young people like to eat meat and not vegetables, picky eaters are not good.Vegetables are healthy, and eating more vegetables is good.Deputy Bureau Ma, who thought this way, didn't notice that he loved to stare at the delicious meat and put down his chopsticks during dinner.Speaking of which, Dushuo is the only one in the sub-bureau who really likes to eat vegetables, and he prefers vegetarian food to meat.

At this time, there was a tinkling car bell at the door, Chen Yang looked up and saw Mao Xiaoli riding her little Phoenix rushing in, braked suddenly and stopped in front of several people, then dropped the bicycle and ran over: "Uncle Ma, Hello Brother Chen and Brother Du." After saying hello, he took the tea handed over by Ma Shanfeng and drank it in one gulp.

Chen Yang: "After school?"

"Every time Brother Chen asks me this sentence, I feel like a high school student." Mao Xiaoli, who is actually a sophomore, sat down and said: "There is no class in the afternoon, I will go to the club, I told you before Participate in the news agency. In addition to selling magic charms in my spare time, I also go to cover big news in the school, and I have to bring my younger brothers and sisters."

"By the way, the last time I talked about someone seeing a cat worshiping the moon in school, does Brother Chen still remember?"

Chen Yang nodded: "Didn't you say that the conversation collapsed?" Last time Mao Xiaoli suggested to the school leaders to find a celestial master, the conversation was about the same and then collapsed.The reason is that a certain school leader resolutely canceled the matter when he learned about it, and denounced ghosts and gods as nonsense.This matter will be over.

"Now the legend about the cat demon in the school has risen again, making people panic."

Ma Shanfeng became interested and asked, "What's going on?"

Mao Xiaoli: "Last night, a girl was running on the playground. She took a small path back to the dormitory at around 10:30 and was attacked. She was cut to the neck and was bleeding profusely. I heard from the students behind me that I heard cats meowing in the distance, especially Terrible and penetrating. I ran over to look and found the girl lying unconscious on the ground. After being sent to the hospital, she is still in a coma. Some witnesses said that they saw traces of cat claws on the girl's neck. Combined with the last cat worshiping the moon incident, the school is now The rumors about cat demons killing people are spreading."

Ma Shanfeng was thoughtful: "A monster." Then he shook his head: "It's not easy to become a monster. Most people who can become a monster have a great opportunity, and fools don't cherish the opportunity to commit murder."

Since ancient times, it has not been easy for vegetation and animals to become monsters, and there are many restrictions.Even if one's spiritual wisdom is opened, it is very difficult to achieve great fortune, and a great opportunity is needed.Once you get a great opportunity, you will naturally cherish it, how can you kill in vain?

"I only know of a demon who has lived in Changbai Mountain for decades and hasn't come down. He concentrates on cultivation, and occasionally rescues travelers who get lost in Changbai Mountain. Later, he was affectionately called the God of Changbai Mountain." Ma Shanfeng said: "Anyway, the cat demon kills people, maybe Not very sexual."

Mao Xiaoli: "Could it be man-made? But it is indeed a trace of a cat's paw, and someone saw a cat praying to the moon. After all, cats are psychic. They have a strong demon nature and believe in the moon. They can open their spiritual orifices through moon worship."

Ma Shanfeng: "Cats hold grudges and love to take revenge. You should check to see if that girl did something wicked to abuse cats and got revenge."

Mao Xiaoli shook her head: "Impossible. The path that the girl walked was the famous litchi garden in the school, which was full of fruit trees. There were many wild cats in the garden, and many stray cats nearby settled there, and gave birth to many kittens. There are many cat lovers among the students. , will often bring cat food and put it in a small bowl. That girl is one of the cat lovers, and often goes there to feed and suck cats. That night, she took a small path to feed the cats, but there are no street lights in Liyuan, and there is no one to hide. It's easy to be found. Maybe it's a murder, and the cat in the Liyuan is blamed."

Chen Yang asked: "So before the truth comes out, the school is spreading the news that the cat demon is harmful to people?"

"Yes. So I have to find out and at least suppress the rumors. I am worried that if this continues, the school will get rid of the cats in Liyuan. Because now some parents who have heard the rumors are asking the school to get rid of the cats. It is a little scary. The cat students also made these demands. There are so many cats in Liyuan, how to deal with them? They are used to being free, and if they are sent to the shelter, they will definitely run away and wander around."

Although Mao Xiaoli is not a cat lover, she couldn't bear to think of cleaning up all the cats in Liyuan.Some of the cats grew up in Liyuan, which is their home.It is inhumane to drive them out of their homes.

Du Shuo suddenly said, "Cats are unruly, treacherous and cunning, and they will be punished, so it is difficult for a cat to become a demon."

Chen Yang was surprised that Du Shuo used many bad adjectives in a row, which showed that he didn't like cats.However, psychic cats are often associated with supernatural events such as treachery and deceit.Belonging to those who love, cats are darlings.People who don't love cats think cats are the most annoying animals.And whether it's a cat worshiping the moon or a cat's psychic channeling, it's not the right way, so it's no wonder Du Shuo doesn't like it.

"People often say cat demons, but they are actually cat ghosts, also known as cat ghosts."

Mao Xiaoli was surprised: "What is this?"

However, Du Shuo stopped answering, and Mao Xiaoli turned to look at Chen Yang.Chen Yang answered: "Cat ghost, the literal meaning is the ghost of a cat. It is also called cat voodoo, or the literal meaning. It uses the ghost of a cat to make animal voodoo. It is a very evil technique. It is often used to harm people. Once killed, you will die. After the cat voodoo is successfully produced, it is usually enslaved to steal money from other people's homes. The evil method of the cat voodoo technique lies in the fact that it wants to steal money, first of all to kill."

In other words, if a cat ghost is enslaved to steal money from a certain family, it must first kill that family and then seize the money.Cat ghosts were very popular in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and many families secretly kept cat ghosts.Sui and Tang cat ghost incident cholera court, the biggest incident was the period of Sui Yangdi and Tang Gaozong.Emperor Sui Yang's murder of cat ghosts will implicate thousands of families in Beijing.During Tang Gaozong's period, laws were directly promulgated, strictly prohibiting people in Beijing from raising cat ghosts, and those who found them would be killed directly.

However, after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were fewer reports of large cat ghosts.However, many ancient books record cat ghosts, cats worshiping the moon, and cat ghosts harming people. The images of cats in those records are rather terrifying.

"Those who keep cat ghosts must first kill the old cats, and then refine the cat ghosts. Every midnight, they will serve them and order the cat ghosts to steal money for themselves. Anyway, it is a very vicious Gu technique. Cats that live longer are indeed easier to enlighten, but It's just enlightenment. It's easy to become a ghost, but hard to become a demon." Chen Yang turned his head and asked Du Shuo: "But why did you suddenly mention cat ghosts?"

Du Shuo: "I suddenly thought of it."

Chen Yang didn't believe that he would suddenly think of it and bring it up.But if you ask now, he probably won't say anything. "I'm going to cook." After speaking, he got up and went to the kitchen.

Mao Xiaoli also stood up, and decided to visit the school's Liyuan at night.Go get your stuff ready first, so you also enter the house.

Ma Shanfeng took a sip of tea and said, "I remember that there was an incident of ghosts and ghosts in Chengji County, and many people died."

Chengji County is located in Tianshui, Gansu Province. The Mao Ghost God is also called the Cat Ghost God. It is a folk belief in Northwest Gansu, Qinghai and other places.There are many relics of ghosts and ghosts in Chengji County, and ghosts and ghosts are similar to cat Gu.It is also asking for money, coming from a wrong path, transporting other people's property, and harming other people's lives.

Ma Shanfeng had gone to Chengji County to solve a murder incident when he was not the deputy director of the sub-bureau. That time, someone raised ghosts and ghosts and sent them to carry property.Insatiable greed, killed many people and continued to do evil.The frightening thing is that the person who kept the Mao ghosts and gods is a well-known entrepreneur and philanthropist in China. Ma Shanfeng teamed up with other celestial masters, and the solution can only be solved after the death of two celestial masters.

Because the cat ghosts are cunning, and the cat ghosts are even more cunning, they are played with repeatedly.After that incident, Ma Shanfeng was transferred to be the director of the sub-bureau, and he was no longer on missions.So strictly speaking, Ma Shanfeng didn't like cat ghosts very much.

Du Shuo responded lightly: "En."

No further statement.

Ma Shanfeng laughed and drank his tea quietly without speaking.

After a long time, Du Shuo said: "Yangyang is young, he doesn't think well, please take care of him."

"They are all members of the sub-bureau, and it is my duty to take care of them." Ma Shanfeng replied with a smile, expressing his attitude by the way.He was the one who took orders in the branch before, and he would responsibly eliminate orders that exceeded the capabilities of everyone in the branch, and try to ensure that everyone's life would not be in danger when receiving orders.

But recently he intends to let go and let others choose their own list.It cannot be chosen by him for the rest of his life. Young people have to choose by themselves, and gradually they will understand how to protect themselves better.Ma Shanfeng said: "Ju Chen's potential is endless, he may be more independent than you think."

Du Shuo didn't answer, he didn't take it seriously.Chen Yang is naturally the best in his heart, but it is impossible for him to completely let go and let him grow.

After dinner, Mao Xiaoli ran back to her room to mess around for a while, and then secretly pulled Chen Yang: "I'm going to stay in the Liyuan of the school, do you want Brother Chen to go too?"

Chen Yang shook his head: "No."

Mao Xiaoli: "Aren't you interested in cat ghosts?"

Of course Chen Yang was not interested, but thinking about Du Shuo's attitude towards cats, he quickly changed his mind: "Then go."

Mao Xiaoli's university is not too far from the branch office, and it takes more than 40 minutes by bicycle to get there.Chen Yang drove a shared bicycle to go with Mao Xiaoli, and talked to Du Shuo when he left.

When the two entered the school, Mao Xiaoli talked to the guard at the door, but the guard didn't check their student cards.After entering, Mao Xiaoli said: "Usually, the investigation is not so strict. When something happened last night, the school leaders are more inclined to believe that the murderer came in from the outside."

To be honest, only young people would believe that cat demons kill people.Young people have always accepted things quickly, and they are more afraid of chaos in the world. Cat demons are only spread among young people.The school leaders still don't believe it, but in order to calm people's hearts, they might invite a celestial master.

Liyuan is far away from the school gate, and it takes half an hour to see it on a bicycle.They started from the beginning along the small path that the victim girl had walked, parked their bicycles at the intersection of Liyuan small road, turned on the flashlights and checked while walking.

Chen Yang: "There are no street lights."

Mao Xiaoli: "Actually, the school has always emphasized that students should not be greedy for walking on small roads, and there are trees and hillsides around, so the project of installing street lights is too troublesome."

The two walked in, and occasionally heard a kitten meowing or two.Chen Yang paused: "Didn't you say that there are cats in Liyuan? Why do you only hear one or two meows?"

Mao Xiaoli was stunned for a moment: "It seems to be. Why don't you go and have a look?"

Chen Yang shook his head: "Go and see the place where the victim was killed first."

"Not far ahead."

After walking for about 5 minutes, I finally arrived at the place where the victim was killed, and warning strips were drawn around.White lines were drawn on the ground according to the victim, and there were still wet blood sprayed on the slate.It looks rather gloomy.

Because of the accident, no one walked this path in Liyuan tonight, so it was very quiet.At the same time, there were no street lights, and even the moonlight was blocked by the branches and leaves of the trees, so it couldn't shine in, so the woods looked very dark and cold.

Mao Xiaoli: "By the way, Brother Chen, do you want to visit the cat mound?"

Chen Yang: "Cat mound?"

"Well." Mao Xiaoli led the way, nodded and said, "There are so many cats in the school, there are always times when they can't keep them or they don't take care of them, so occasionally cats die of illness, old age, or accidents. Of course, they also die of abuse. "She smiled wryly: "Don't look at those cat abusers who are far away from me. In fact, sometimes they are by my side. There are always people who are afraid of cats and hate cats. The cat abuse incident."

If the victimized girl was not really a cat lover, she would also suspect that it was the cat's revenge.

Pass through the Liyuan forest and reach a relatively remote grove, where you can see densely packed bags hanging on the trees.Inside those bags were cat corpses.As the saying goes, dogs are buried in water and cats are buried in trees, which means putting the cat's corpse in a bag and hanging it on a tree to prevent it from turning into a monster.Seeing cat body bags all over the grove at this moment makes people feel inexplicably sinister and terrifying.

Chen Yang hissed and asked, "It's rare for your school to keep this cat mound and not eradicate it."

"Who said it hasn't been eradicated?" Which school will keep these things?What's more, the cat tree burial is regarded as folk superstition rumors, and the school can't let the cat grave continue to exist in order to establish its own image. "The school tried to eradicate the cat mounds for one summer vacation, but whenever the workers came over, the cats in the school would collectively appear to stop them and stare straight at the workers. Who would dare to do it?"

Cats are evil and vindictive.Cat mounds are equivalent to their ancestral graves. Can digging someone's ancestral grave harm your family for three generations?

Chen Yang heard the faint meowing, so he raised his hand to signal Mao Xiaoli to keep quiet and follow the meowing.Walking up a small steep slope and taking a look, it was convenient to pull Mao Xiaoli down to hide, and motioned her to look down.

Mao Xiaoli looked down, but saw that there was a pit under the small slope, and dozens of cats, big and small, gathered under the pit, of various breeds, both fat and thin.They all bowed to the moon, then raised their faces and took a deep breath, as if they were absorbing the essence of moonlight.It's like entering a cat cult, which is extraordinarily weird.

Cat worships the moon? !

Chen Yang's eyes were bright, staring at a particularly fat black big cat in front of all the cats.The big fat cat shook its ears, as if it had sensed something, and turned its head to meet Chen Yang's eyes.

Ow—

A shrill and sharp meow suddenly sounded.

The author has something to say:

Chen Yang: I checked my eyes and met the right Fat Cat.

Speaking of cat tree burial, there was a large bamboo forest behind my old home, and many cat corpses were hung in the bamboo forest.

Anyway, I dare not walk in the bamboo forest at night.
