Soul Eater

When he received the call from Daochang Lou, Ruan Yang was watching Zuo Hufa, whose body limp into a pool, was escorted into a police car by two policemen on the left and right.

"Fellow Daoist Ruan!" Daoist Lou's voice rushed out of the earpiece, his voice seemed a little trembling with excitement: "We have found the clue of the big monster!"

Ruan Yang: "Have you found it?"

He glanced at Mr. Xiao, and Xiao Siming raised his eyebrows in surprise.

One must know that Lou Daochang and the others only learned of the existence of the big demon two days ago, and found out the clues of the big monster in just two days. It is self-evident how many people need to read ancient books without sleep.

The Taoist priests care about the common people in the world. Even though they have hardly closed their eyes these days, they have always maintained a state of high spirits. Taoist Lou will give a brief statement of their discoveries.

However, Ruan Yang had already heard this general information from Mr. Xiao before.

1000 years ago, the demon king, that is, this great demon, came to the human world to make troubles, and the human world was devastated, and they were in panic all day long.

For some reason, the underworld refused to intervene in this matter, and some gods in the heavenly world joined forces with monks in the human world to seal the big monster—although it was only temporarily.

At that time, it seemed that the big demon was indeed defeated. To be on the safe side, even his body was divided into three parts and sealed in three places.

As for the small force that escaped, everyone was very nervous at first, but after many years passed, that force seemed to have evaporated and never appeared again, and everyone gradually relaxed their vigilance.

Ruan Yang's heart moved, and he guessed something: "...so the seal is loose?"

Lou Daozhang's voice sounded a bit difficult: "... so far, yes."

Although Ruan Yang only recovered part of his memory, he still has some common sense. Hearing this, he said, "If this is the case, the most urgent task is to strengthen the seal first."

"..." Daoist Lou seemed to sigh, and when he spoke, his tone was bitter: "Friend Ruan Daoist, of course the poor Taoist knows the way you said, but the magic circle left by the ancients is profound and difficult to understand , our cultivation base is not enough, so we dare not change the magic circle without authorization; the second reason... the text that records the location of the sealing circle is a kind of ancient text that has been lost, and we are still looking for experts who can decipher this text."

The Taoists have been anxious about this for a long time. This feeling is like a peerless beauty sitting in front of you, but you can only watch and do nothing else.

Ruan Yang and Lou Daochang sighed together through the phone, Xiao Siming couldn't stand it anymore, took the phone from Ruan Yang, and said to Lou Daochang on the other end of the phone: "One of the sealing circles is in Xuanwu In a cave on the mountain."

Although Xiao Daoyou doesn't talk much on weekdays, and rarely interacts with them directly, and the people under his command are all kinds of strange, and he even raised a thousand-year-old Yin soldier not to fight but to act as a cook... But his professional ability is excellent and he is reliable. , what is said is also easier to believe.

Daoist Lou did not doubt the source of his information. The voice on the other end of the phone was a little farther away, and there were some rustling conversations mixed with the current. It seemed that Daoist Lou was relaying Xiao Siming's words to someone, and asked people to prepare Rush to Xuanwu Mountain.

Ruan Yang thought of another thing. Since there were still many onlookers around them, he tugged at Xiao Siming's sleeves, and approached him and asked, "Can we ask about the whereabouts of the magic circle?" Ask that left protector?"

As soon as Xiao Siming nodded, Lou Dao's long-distance voice came back again, with a very serious tone: "That's right! Fellow Daoist Ruan! Pindao called you just to remind you of this. Behind the seductive incident you encountered is the ghost king's people! And, they are very likely to retaliate against you."

Ruan Yang: "For me?"

Lou Daochang: "That's right, last time they wanted to get the body of the daughter of the Lin family. You brought back her soul. If their plan failed, they would definitely not be reconciled and take revenge on you. We already know from reading ancient books. , this demon king has two capable men, one is his left guard, the other is his right guard, they are all violent and murderous demons... In short, you must be more careful! If you don't mind If so, you can temporarily live in our Hanyang temple."

Violent, murderous...

Ruan Yang couldn't help turning his head to look in the direction of the police car, and he said after a while: "Daoist Lou, in fact, today we met a demon who claims to be the left guardian of the demon clan."

As soon as the voice fell to the ground, Daochang Lou suddenly raised his voice, and shouted in panic: "What?! You have already met?!!"

Although I can't see the picture, but listening to the sound, I can imagine Lou Daochang walking back and forth anxiously with his mobile phone at the moment, and Lou Daochang's voice kept coming out of the receiver: "It's over, it's over, they are moving at such a speed So fast", "This is great, we are not prepared enough at all!"

He thought about it for a while, and then remembered that the phone call with Ruan Yang was still going on, so he quickly said: "Fellow Daoist Ruan, don't be impulsive, I'm going to invite fellow Taoists from the Daoist Association to help you——"

Ruan Yang declined his kindness: "There is no need for support, Daoist Lou, please bring everyone over here, let's go to a place together."

Daoist Lou got stuck, and asked cutely, "Where are you going?"

Ruan Yang turned his head to look at the police car: "...Go to the police station and make a statement."

******

A white van stopped at the entrance of the police station. As soon as the door was opened, seven or eight white-haired Taoist priests in various robes got out of the car.

When the passing police noticed this group of priests with very different styles of painting, the corners of their mouths twitched, and they murmured in a low voice, "Why are there so many priests here? Is it another expert invited by Team Li?"

This is not a complaint against the priests. Team Li once solved a major case by asking the priests, and the news spread—the police asked Taoists for help. It was broken, and nothing happened to Longhu Mountain after that.

Just fucking outrageous.

What makes it even more difficult to explain is that the Taoist priests standing at the gate of the police station at this time are all seniors of the Provincial Taoist Association. Lou Taoist priest, who is over fifty years old, has become the youngest one in front of these Taoist priests.

However, based on the current prestige of Hanyang Temple, even though Daoist Lou is the youngest among the members of the Taoist Association, he still has some right to speak.

Not long after, someone asked aloud, "Your Daoist Lou, are you sure this little friend is not joking with us?"

Lou Daochang is actually a little dazed, anyone who knows that the number one dangerous member of the Yaozu who he was afraid of last second has fallen into the French Open will be dazed.

He could only say: "Young Daoist Ruan... is not someone who would joke about such things."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, Ruan Yang and Xiao Siming appeared in their field of vision, followed by four figures behind them.

After seeing who was coming, all the Taoist priests present almost knelt down, and panicked one by one: "Hei...Master Hei, why did you appear here?"

The person who came was Hei Wuchang.

A few days ago, Hei Wuchang went to the Taoist Association with Daoist Lou. At first, everyone in the Taoist Association thought that they had done something wrong to dissatisfy the underworld. After knowing the reason for Hei Wuchang's visit, they were flattered.

In fact, it is not unacceptable to ask all Taoist temples to enshrine the Yin God. On the contrary, most Taoists think this is a good phenomenon.

This shows that the underworld, which has been unpredictable for thousands of years, is about to establish diplomatic relations with their human world!

Adding a few yin gods to Guannei seems to be just a small step made by the Taoist sect, but it is actually a big step in the history of the establishment of diplomatic relations between humans and ghosts!

Because of Hei Wuchang's status, the Taoists respected him very much.

The old white-haired Taoist who asked the question earlier saluted and asked, "Does your lord have any opinions on the statue of the Yin God?"

The folk statues of Yin gods are all angry and fierce. Although they are not ugly, they are not beautiful enough.

After seeing Hei Wuchang himself, everyone realized how inconsistent those statues were with the real thing. Since we want to worship the Yin God and have a good relationship with the underworld, of course we can’t continue to use his ugly photos. After asking Hei Wuchang’s opinion, the priests, I designed a few new god statues, but I have been busy investigating the big monster these days, and the customized god statues haven't had time to be fired.

Hei Wuchang waved his hand, indicating that he didn't come here today for the statue. He secretly glanced at Little Pluto from the corner of his eye, and felt ashamed in his heart: "I'm here to deal with a few subordinates who made mistakes. Daoist leaders don't need to pay attention to me."

The priests were taken aback when they heard the words, Hei Wuchang's subordinates... Isn't that just... Mingchai? ? !

Looking at it this way, apart from Ruan Yang and Xiao Siming, the other three figures following Hei Wuchang were indeed gloomy, full of ghostly aura.

I just don't know what happened to these three ghosts, all of them are drooping, with a miserable look on their faces that the good times are coming to an end.

Although the priests were curious, it was inconvenient to ask more questions, so they had to turn their attention to Ruan Yang.

Daoist Lou's eyes flickered slightly: "Friend Daoist Ruan, the Zuo Guardian you are talking about..."

Ruan Yang knew what he meant, turned his head and glanced at Xiao Siming beside him, and said: "He has been arrested and is waiting to be sentenced. I heard that he is suspected of defrauding 100 million yuan, and he will be sentenced to more than ten years in prison or life imprisonment." imprisonment."

The priests: "..."

The priests still couldn't connect Protector Zuo with the scammer for a while, so Ruan Yang went through them from beginning to end.

After learning that Guardian Zuo happened to be possessed by a fugitive fraudster because of bad luck, and was caught by the police because he tried to stab someone in the market, the priests felt very ashamed...

1000 years ago, Zuo Hufa, who killed people like hemp and regarded human life as nothing, is about to be imprisoned for fraud in modern society.

Speechless is speechless, and everyone has not forgotten their purpose.

A priest expressed his concern: "Will he really tell us the whereabouts of the Great Demon Sealing Formation?"

Another Taoist priest smacked his lips, and his view on this matter was not very optimistic: "Not necessarily, this matter is not so easy."

Sure enough, when everyone came to the detention center accompanied by the policeman Xiao Zheng, the guard Zuo, who was wearing a yellow vest, was led in and out by the guards with a look of ashes on his face. Every time he glanced at Ruan Yang, his eyes were extremely resentful. , like a poisoned sharp blade, without any intention of repentance.

Xiao Siming returned his colder and sharper eyes from the side.

As if being suppressed by the food chain, Zuo Hufa shuddered and obediently entered the house.

As expected, the first few Taoist priests bumped their noses at Zuo Hufa, and when it was Ruan Yang's turn, Zuo Hufa seemed to be alive again, with a noble and glamorous look, raised his chin high and put Ruthless words: "I know what you want to ask, I will not betray Lord Demon King no matter what, and if you want to kill or cut, it's up to you!"

Ruan Yang: "..."

Now that things have happened, even he has begun to wonder if the left protector's brain is not very smart.

"Oh, stupid." Xiao Siming snorted coldly from the side. As early as the first time they fought, he had put a seal on Guardian Zuo, sealing the opponent in this human body. Before his death, Guardian Zuo could no longer voluntarily escape.

He mocked: "Who wants to yell at you? Don't look at the society ruled by law now."

There was a momentary emptiness on Zuo Dharma's face. This guy is obviously legally illiterate, and he is very unfamiliar with this word: "Law, a society ruled by law?"

Xiao Siming's tone was contemptuous: "Yes, for someone like you who has cheated so much money, if you have anything to say, wait until you come out after staying in it for decades."

"........."

It's going to be closed for decades! !

No, this must be a psychological tactic that the other party deliberately told him.Zuo Hufa settled his mind, and said with a sneer, "Even if it is true as you said, I will not betray Lord Demon King, you don't want to get me to talk about it!"

Xiao Siming clicked his tongue, not knowing whether he was being stubborn or too stupid, at this time Ruan Yang glanced at Hei Wuchang, Hei Wuchang nodded, raised his chin slightly towards the air, and in the next second, the guard In a world invisible to the staff, three figures in black robes quietly appeared in the room.

Seeing these "Monster Clan Alliance", Guardian Zuo's complexion suddenly changed slightly.

Hei Wuchang stood behind Ruan Yang at some point, as if supporting Ruan Yang, Ruan Yang cleared his throat, and said in a vicious voice, "Tell me everything you three know!"

"Hmph," Guardian Zuo snorted first when he heard the words, and seemed to trust these ghosts very much, "Would they say it if you let them say it? You are too underestimating the friendship of our Monster Race Alliance, they will never betray ..."

"I said!!" However, before he finished speaking, the three ghosts scrambled to speak, fearing that they would be one step behind their companions, "The Yaozu's plan this time is to unify the Three Realms!"

Just now, he also showed his strong left guardian: "..."

He looked at the three ghosts in disbelief, and suddenly became angry, anxious and angry, and tremblingly stretched out his fingers: "You!"

Of course, the underworld servants did not dare to look at their former "companion" in front of their superiors, and tried their best to disregard their relationship with the Yaozu, "...we only took his offerings to do things for him. The king's plan has nothing to do with us!"

The underworld has always dealt with those who made mistakes strictly. Originally, those who defected and were caught would be punished and punished. Now they are charged with offending the king of the underworld. This is a good thing, and they are thrown to the [-]th floor Saw hell is all light.

Therefore, as soon as Pluto spoke, the three of them trembled like sieves, and they no longer cared about the revolutionary friendship with the Yaozu. They revealed everything that should be said and should not be said, including two-thirds of the seal The location of the magic circle.

Zuo Hufa was trembling with anger. He didn't know the identities of Ruan Yang and Hei Wuchang. He only knew that the Yaozu had planned a revenge plan for thousands of years. "Wow" vomited a mouthful of blood.

"What are you holding the child's soul for?" Ruan Yang suddenly remembered this.

Ming Chai on the side trembled, and whispered: "...to collect grievances."

The demon king has been sealed for thousands of years, so his strength is of course not as good as before, and the source of his power is the resentment in people's hearts.

Human beings have seven emotions and six desires, and are creatures with unpredictable emotions. Some people are prone to resentment when their lives are slightly unsatisfactory.

Dissatisfaction with the boss and work, jealousy of outstanding people, resentment towards life... often just need a little guidance, and these negative emotions will explode completely.

For example, Mr. Wang had a feud with Boss Lin, and this feud gradually turned into hatred, so he became Zuo Hufa's first target.

After figuring out the reason, Ruan Yang took a deep look at Guardian Zuo.

Guardian Zuo was silent for a while, then suddenly laughed out loud.

He looked like he was in a broken jar, and he smiled and said: "It's okay to let you know, no one in this world can stop the breeding of resentment."

Ruan Yang and the others didn't answer, their dignified expressions seemed to please Guardian Zuo.

At this moment, his heart is more carefree than ever, as if he can finally let out a breath of anger, "The grievances will become more and more vigorous... When they gather in the treasured place where energy is gathered, no one in the three realms will be able to treat Lord Demon King again." suppress..."

Ruan Yang and Xiao Siming exchanged glances, and they got up and walked out together.

Zuo Hufa, who hadn't finished expressing, was stunned, "Where are you going?!"

Xiao Siming glanced at him, and said softly: "Thank you for your reminder, of course it is to strengthen the seal before the resentment gathers."

Guardian Zuo: "..."

A few seconds later, Guardian Zuo yelled curses from the room.

Maybe it's because everyone knows that this person is used to pretending to be a ghost, so when he kept yelling "Master Demon King will not let you go", the guards took him away without letting him scold a few words.

Outside, the priests waited anxiously. When they saw Ruan Yang and the others coming out, they rushed up and asked nervously and expectantly, "How is it?"

Ruan Yang recounted it in detail, but in order to protect the image of the underworld and in line with the principle that family ugliness should not be publicized, he concealed the part where the ghost appeared and revealed the demon king's plan.

Because of the evidence of Hei Wuchang, everyone expressed their confidence in the information Ruan Yang brought out.

The priests began to discuss the next step, and Ruan Yang quietly stepped aside, hiding his achievements and fame.

It's just that Hei Wuchang was pitiful, and he wanted to go up and have a few words with His Highness to make up the relationship, but Xiao Siming didn't give him a chance.

Xiao Siming took Ruan Yang to the side to sit down, put Ruan Yang's hand into his own to cover it, and asked in a low voice: "Are you tired?"

"Not tired." Ruan Yang whispered next to him, "Am I doing well?"

Xiao Siming stroked his back with his big hands, raised the corners of his mouth, and praised with a smile in his eyes: "That's right, this Pluto is very majestic."

Ruan Yang immediately puffed up his chest, trying not to make himself too proud, and said in a somewhat arrogant tone: "I'm pretending."

How can it be so cute?Xiao Siming laughed, and reached out to rub the back of Ruan Yang's head.

At this time, Xiao Zheng came back from answering the phone outside, and thanked Ruan Yang again, and the verbal thanks were not enough, saying that he had already reported it to the superiors, and was going to issue Xiao Siming and Ruan Yang with the "Brave Action" certificate to thank them Regardless of their own safety, the two successfully subdued the prisoner and prevented the onlookers from being harmed. At the same time, they assisted the police in capturing the leader of the fraud suspect who was at large.

The priests: "..."

Thanks to Ruan Yang, we have never been so close to socialism in our careers.

Xiao Zheng sighed again: "Captain Li just asked me to thank you. He was devastated by this fraud case, and he was too busy with too many cases at hand. You really helped him a lot."

From his words, the police station seems to be very busy recently.

Ruan Yang asked curiously: "The police also have to fight for performance at the end of the year?"

Xiao Zheng didn't care about what he said, but just echoed bitterly: "Isn't it? I don't know if it's because people tend to be irritable in recent years or something. There have been several robberies and fights every day in H City these days. Yes, the most bizarre thing is that the residents of a building got into a brawl last night, because the network cable in the building was cut off...Where do you think they are so angry, can't they be more peaceful?"

Hearing this, the faces of the priests suddenly became serious again - provoking disputes and arousing people's anger everywhere, this is in line with Zuo Hufa's rhetoric, the demon king really has such an idea?

But...forget about the first two, what happened to the last one that cut off the network cable?Are you Yaozu so unscrupulous in order to arouse resentment? ? ?

Tucao belongs to Tucao, and the priests also know the seriousness of the situation.This matter is indeed very difficult, after all, people are not sages, even if they are the priests present, none of them can come out and guarantee that they will never have negative emotions.

"This matter cannot be delayed, Fellow Daoist Ruan, we have decided to hold a discussion meeting. Would you like to discuss it together?"

Ruan Yang saw that he was invited by the Taoist priest with the most senior qualifications in the Taoist Association, so he immediately nodded and agreed: "Yes."

Although Xiao Zheng didn't know what the priests were going to talk about, he could roughly guess that it was a very serious matter by looking at the faces of the people, so he smiled kindly and said, "If the priests need anything, they can also ask our people The police asked for help."

Although everyone was very grateful to him for his kindness, but the birth of a big demon would cause the Three Realms to perish, and the people's police would not be able to help them, so they could only accept this kindness.

Everyone felt a little heavy when they left the detention center. Before getting into the car, a certain priest couldn't hold back after all, and asked the guard, "Don't you really think there is something wrong with him?"

Although Zuo Hufa is currently trapped in the body of the fraudster for some reason, but those blood-red eyes that represent the identity of the monster clan, no matter how you look at it, something is wrong!

"Huh?" The watchman was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "Oh! You mean he has pink eye disease, right? We have arranged a separate room for him, far away from other people, and the protection and isolation measures are very good. Well, it's not contagious."

Daoist: "..."

I shouldn't have asked this question, but it seemed like I couldn't feel heavy all of a sudden.
