Speaking of being a Taoist priest, Tan Cheng felt that it would be more appropriate for him to be called a magic stick. As soon as he arrived in Ninghua Village, Tan Cheng saw this man at the entrance of the village wearing a Taoist priest's costume to exorcise evil spirits like in a Hong Kong movie. On the altar, burn incense and paper, gesture there with a mahogany sword, still muttering words, singing along to something.

No matter how you look at it, how reliable it is.

However, his posture really bluffed some villagers who were still in Ninghua Village, and attracted residents from neighboring villages to join in the fun.

"Hey, what happened, did you call Daxian to do something?"

"It seems that there are ghosts in the ancient tomb over there. Several archaeologists died here, and the police couldn't find out the reason, so I invited Daxian to take a look."

"Ghost?!" I don't know which woman screamed: "This must have alarmed the owner of the tomb! Therefore, it is impossible to do this kind of thing of people's ancestral graves, and it will be retribution sooner or later!"

"That's right. In the past, Ninghua Village still had some land to grow. Although the road was not easy to walk, the harvest was good. After these research experts moved away from their hometown where they have lived for decades and hundreds of years, let alone , the land is occupied and the fields are gone, although the compensation is rich enough for a while, what will the future generations do!"

Tan Cheng frowned and walked through the crowd talking about it, walked up to Jiang Ping and asked, "What are you doing, you are a country

The staff of the company believe in these ghosts and gods, and even perform in front of the villagers with great fanfare. Are you afraid that someone will accuse you of promoting injustice and crooked ways? : "How could Jiang Ping not be able to hear the contempt in Tan Cheng's words if he was able to become a deputy director at this age? Of course he must have guessed that if he brought this Taoist priest over, the reaction would definitely not be good.

"Although I'm the deputy director, I'm just on vacation today. I'm just a tourist who came to Ninghua Village in casual clothes. I just happened to encounter this ceremony. I didn't bring this Taoist priest here." He pointed to the Taoist priest There is a middle-aged man beside him.

Needless to say, Tan Cheng also knew that the man was Jiang Ping's friend, and it was just a cover.

The Taoist priest had too many tricks, and sometimes shouted in low voices and shouted loudly. Tan Cheng couldn't quite understand him, but he could only vaguely hear what he was asking for.

I don’t know where I got a rooster. After doing the trick, I pinched off a corner of the rooster’s comb with my fingertips, and blood-red blood seeped out from the broken comb.

The Taoist priest took the rooster and used the bloody cockscomb to touch the forehead and the back of each person present, leaving a circular bloodstain.

After ordering all of them, he said: "This is for keeping safe and exorcising evil spirits. I will do it together with you. After the ceremony is over, you can enter the mountain."

It was at this moment that Tan Cheng noticed that the back of the Taoist priest's hands were covered with scars, as if scalded, and his fingers were twisted.

"My friend said that this Taoist priest basically has these injuries on his body. It is said that they were punished by the heavens for leaking the secrets of the heavens," Jiang Ping said, seeming to see Tan Cheng's doubts.

Tan Cheng glanced at Jiang Ping and said, "Compared to that, I'm more curious why you let the Taoist priest come over. Didn't you guys not believe me when I was summoned to the police station to make a statement?"

"Some things don't exist if you don't believe them. I have a deep understanding of this after nearly 13 years of criminal police career." Handing Tan Cheng a cigarette, Jiang Ping said.

Thinking of dragging his absent-minded assistant back that day, he thought it would be all right after a while, but two days later, Lin Qinyu still looked the same. He was sent to the hospital and the doctor couldn't find out the cause of the disease until his old friend introduced him to him. The Taoist priest gave Lin Qinyu a drink of water, and Lin Qinyu came back to his senses.

At that time, the old Taoist was shaking his head and talking about how dangerous Lin Qinyu's condition was and how difficult it was to save her. He didn't want to stop until he was given 3000 yuan.

It was this incident that made Jiang Ping believe Tan Cheng's words. Although he had doubts, he still brought this Taoist priest with him when he came here this time.

Jiang Ping could also see that this person might know some tricks, and he wasn't really a "great fairy", but at least he was one of the Taoist priests he had encountered so far who could really handle such things anyway. .

"It cost about 3 yuan to invite him to come."

Tan Cheng sneered, "Your money?"

"No, my friend's."

Not wanting to say anything more to Jiang Ping, Tan Cheng glanced at the dried blood on the back of his hand, frowned, and wiped it off with his hand, and also wiped off the spot on his forehead by the way.

The ceremony is over soon, and the next step is to go to the ditch of the big tomb

Jiang Ping only asked Tan Cheng to lead the way, plus the Taoist priest and Jiang Ping's old friend, a total of four people,

Tan Cheng, who was walking in the front, deliberately slowed down. It stands to reason that if the Taoist priest can really deal with the deadly ghost in the ancient tomb, it would be great for their archaeological work, but... Tan Cheng Some hesitation.

It's not that I don't want to destroy those resentful ghosts, it's just...it's not the time yet...

He led the Taoist priest to the middle of Tanggou, no matter what Jiang Ping said, Tan Cheng stopped moving forward.

"The murders all happened in the front, and the tomb is behind. We haven't cleaned it up yet, so we can't let people in. It won't work if something is lost."

Looking meaningfully at Tan Cheng who didn't want them to go any further, Jiang Ping suddenly said, "I'm a little curious why you reacted like that when you heard me say that you found a Taoist priest."

Tan Cheng is an archaeologist, but he is also a gentle and polite scholar. He was so emotional that he was really curious about what made him so uneasy.

Looking at Jiang Ping's eyes that seemed to see through everything, Tan Cheng smiled lightly:

"Hehe, I'm also curious. The murder scene is clearly here, why do you insist on moving forward?"

"Didn't I say that I'm not a policeman today, I'm just here for fun?"

"Then please go out!" Tan Cheng said sharply, "This is not a place to play, but a scientific research site. Please respect my work."

Nodding, Jiang Ping took out his police ID from his pocket, "Okay, please respect my work, two homicides, this is not a joke."

Standing in front of the ditch, Tan Cheng still didn't move a step. Jiang Ping and him had been confronting each other, but the compass in the Taoist priest's hand suddenly turned, making a lot of noise.

"This, this, it seems, there is something near here!!" The Taoist's voice was obviously trembling and frightened.

The hands of the Taoist priest holding the compass began to tremble, and his eyes were looking around, as if afraid of something popping up suddenly.

Tan Cheng couldn't help but also looked around, but saw nothing.

"What happened?" Jiang Ping strode up to the Taoist priest and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The faster the compass turns, the heavier the resentment and the more resentful ghosts. I, I have never seen a compass that turns so fast!"

resentment?Are you talking about those dead grave robbers?

"This place is terrible!"

Hearing what the Taoist said, Tan Cheng said, "Then we should stay here now, or leave."

Before the Taoist could speak to him, Jiang Ping said, "Leave? How is it possible? He came here to exorcise ghosts. If he leaves, the tens of thousands of dollars will have to be refunded to us."

It’s okay for the old Taoist to do some rituals to exorcise evil spirits by relying on such a little way, but he has never encountered a big event, but he has heard that the faster the compass, the heavier the resentment, and they have to run away.But this is only heard, and I have never encountered such a thing in so many years.

If you just give up like this, 3 yuan will be in vain!The old Taoist priest is greedy for money, so he thought for a while and said, "At the beginning, you didn't say that this was the case..." After a pause, his small eyes rolled and were full of calculations, "Add another 5, [-] yuan If so, I will go.

Seemingly aware of his identity and not being too greedy for property, the old Taoist gave a fake cough: "Cough cough, you also know that your exorcising ghosts and evil spirits will hurt my body, so I need some compensation." .”

Jiang Ping's old friend really believed in the old way, "Yes, yes, Daxian, please help, there will be no shortage."

"Okay... then, let's get rid of the grieving ghosts here first, and find a spacious place."

Watching the old man put down his backpack and take out the contents,

Blood-stained glutinous rice, wicker wearing strange things...

"You can't even see me, so you want to get rid of the spirit?"

Suddenly this sentence came to his ear, and Tan Cheng turned his head abruptly, his lips seemed to touch something unintentionally, it was icy cold.

The author has something to say:

Tan Cheng: What did I encounter just now?
