Urban Night Returner

"You mean, you want Shen Gu to enter the special affairs department?"

Shen Gu looked at Zhong Lecen, his complexion was not very good-looking, although he was polite to Zhang Shengyi, his words were obviously not happy.Shen Gu wondered what the reason was, afraid that he would be in danger?

"Yes." Zhang Shengyi was still smiling, with a very kind expression on his face.

"Then who will be his guide?"

"Oh—" Zhang Shengyi thought for a while, "We will send an experienced person over."

Zhong Lecen sneered——according to Shen Gu's understanding of him, he was a little angry: "I'm afraid you didn't think about it at all, did you?"

Zhang Jingquan frowned: "What do you mean? Are you afraid that Grandpa's words won't count?"

Zhong Lecen pushed back unceremoniously: "I'm really not at ease. Anyway, my fourth uncle and younger uncle are also members of the special affairs department. Of course you have a confidentiality system, but I still know a little about the general procedures. Special No matter how talented the recruited people are, as long as they are not professional celestial masters, they will have a mentor. Moreover, the mentor must have considerable work experience until the person being mentored can truly be on his own. Shen Gu is not a heavenly master. Not to mention Teacher, Heizi, and Liu Wu, three people like this form a special affairs team, but there is no one leader, when did the special affairs department allow such recruiting members?"

Zhang Jingquan was irritated by his aggressive tone: "Didn't Grandpa just say that when we go back, we will send an experienced guide over here!"

Zhong Lecen sneered again: "Mr. Zhang, do you really think that other people don't know anything? The special affairs department has to have a considerable period of observation when recruiting personnel. Unless they are transferred to participate in training, the instructors will come directly. Because once the members of the special affairs department start working, they don’t know what kind of danger they will face, so it is impossible to say that one end is working, and the other end will be sent. If the supervisor has not come, something will happen here what to do?"

Zhang Jingquan still wanted to speak, but Zhang Shengyi stopped him with a wave of his hand, and said with a smile: "Then you think I didn't bring a guide?"

"No." Zhong Lecen said bluntly, "I suspect that you never thought about letting Shen Gu enter the special affairs department at first, but made a hasty decision after seeing him."

Zhang Shengyi laughed: "Of course there are situations like this. I suddenly found someone who was completely unexpected. Is it okay to make a hasty decision? And no matter what I say in the Special Affairs Department, it still counts. Are you afraid that he won't be treated like a staff member of the Special Affairs Department?"

Zhong Lecen stared at him: "No. I just want to know why you came to Binhai? To put it more bluntly, why are you looking for him?"

Shen Gu understood now.Dare to love Zhong Lecen because he is worried that people like Zhang Shengyi are looking for him with ulterior motives.Think about it when Zhong Yi saw him at the beginning and just said "go away", Fei Ming also said that he looked like a walk today, and Zhong Lecen said that walking away is against the safety law of the celestial master industry, if every celestial master treats him as a It's no wonder Zhong Lecen is worried.Don't look at Zhong Lecen's good temper, he would get angry too, of course, it's because of him...

Shen Gu is secretly beautiful here, and Zhang Shengyi over there has already laughed heartily: "Well, I haven't seen you for so many years, your temper has hardened. You were so honest when you were young, and you didn't make trouble when you were wronged. You are not as good as your younger brother." Fierce, why is it so powerful now?"

Zhong Lecen said lightly: "You probably don't know anything about me. If anyone wants to be gloomy, then I don't need to be polite."

Zhang Jingquan's expression twisted for a moment, Fei Ming and Fei Liang were also a little moved, apparently no one expected Zhong Lecen to throw out such a clear sentence.Zhang Jingquan couldn't help but sneered, and muttered in his throat: "It seems quite honorable, and it's not too shameful."

Shen Gu's face darkened: "What's there to be ashamed of?"

Zhang Shengyi waved his hand and smiled: "Jingquan can't talk, don't worry about it. Well, let's be honest, when we came to Binhai, we really came for Officer Shen. Of course, at that time, we really didn't think about letting him Into the special affairs department."

Zhong Lecen's face became even more ugly: "Then what do you want to do with him?"

Zhang Shengyi smiled: "Young man, don't be so impatient." He suppressed his smile and became serious, "On the third day of the first lunar month, a demon-killing thunder fell on Binhai City, hurting an osmanthus tree."

Shen Gu didn't understand what this had to do with him, but Zhong Lecen's eyes flickered: "Zhu Yaolei, is it because of that sweet-scented osmanthus tree?"

Zhang Shengyi shook his head: "No. That sweet-scented osmanthus tree was made from liquid by Emperor Yin. It has never hurt a life since it fell to the ground for more than three hundred years. It has already obtained a safety certificate. It was purely accidentally injured."

"Drinking the emperor's ointment? No wonder it became a spirit in 300 years, but what does it have to do with Shen Gu if it was accidentally injured?"

"It grew in a demolition area in Binhai. On the night of the third day of the first lunar month, a gopher saw Officer Shen appearing there. On that day, we can be sure that there is no celestial master in the area."

Zhong Le stood up emphatically: "Could it be that you are treating Shen Gu as a monster? Let me tell you, it wasn't Shen Gu that was hit by the demon-slaying thunder, it was - it was the Nian Beast!"

Zhang Shengyi waved his hand: "Don't get excited, we were just guessing at the time, but Guizier, even the osmanthus tree's appeal has been handed over to the Celestial Masters Association, so we can't ignore it. Now that we have met, Officer Shen is a human being. Yao, isn’t it clear? That’s why we asked him to join the special affairs department.”

Zhong Lecen sneered: "Join the special affairs department? You are worried and want to monitor him nearby, right? Because he has too much evil spirit, you suspect him, don't you?"

Zhang Jingquan also stood up: "Zhong Lecen, who are you talking to? He is so arrogant! He has too much evil spirit, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a ghost! Since we are in this line of work, of course we must pay attention to it. How about it?"

Zhong Lecen pointed at him unceremoniously: "Zhang Jingquan, Shen Gu is a soldier. He used to defend the country, but now he protects the people. He doesn't like playing tricks like yours, but it's not so easy for you to plot against him! God! You don’t know about the tricks in the teacher’s practice? Shen Gu agreed to join your special affairs department in order to deal with such things as soon as possible in the future and save a few innocent people from dying. Research! It doesn’t mean that he has to enter your special affairs department!”

Although Zhang Jingquan is not the eldest grandson of the Zhang family, his family background and talent are all there. Even people who are older than him should be polite to him. He has never been pointed at by outsiders in his life. He jumped straight up on his head, slapped the table and shouted sharply: "Zhong Lecen, don't think that just because your surname is Zhong, you can be so unscrupulous. It's not your turn to intervene in matters in the Celestial Master's practice! The surname Shen is so sinister, There must be something strange, if it wasn't for Grandpa's merciful heart, we wouldn't have taken him for granted!"

Zhong Lecen sneered: "Take him? Zhang Jingquan, are you talking or farting? Article [-] of the Tianshi Industry Safety Law: Do not use spells on ordinary people, offenders will be punished, those who hurt others will be punished, and those who kill people will be killed! You take Shengu? You Which one to rely on to get solid? If you don’t use spells, three or five of you are not strong enough to beat you. If you dare to use spells, let you go around without eating! Even the celestial master’s safety law is ignored, I think You, Zhang, are very arrogant. Of course, who is as unscrupulous as your Zhang family? Even if you only have one soul flying away, don’t you still get the celestial master’s license?"

Zhang Shengyi tried to stop his grandson from speaking several times, but both of them were too fast and anxious, and he couldn't get in for a moment. Hearing this sentence, his face changed slightly: "Le Cen, this is too much, right?" ?Jingquan can't speak impulsively, but I'm still sitting here. Why, even I don't believe it? Am I going to let the Zhang family attack an ordinary person? But how can you say that your family members are also in this line of business, how can young people speak directly to people's hearts? It's so much better than when I was a child, I can't think of it."

Shen Gu had been admiring the scene where Zhong Lecen changed Zhang Jingquan's face with anger, and then he said slowly: "It turns out that I was allowed to enter the special affairs department and have the function of monitoring by the way, which really surprised me."

Zhang Shengyi frowned: "How do you say that? Don't say that I rely on the old to sell the old, and I feel that I still have some virtues in the practice of heavenly masters. Even at my age, I can't play such tricks with your younger generations. That's what Jing Quan said. I was in a hurry, and I spoke out in a hurry. Since you knew that Nian Beast was expelled by you, who would underestimate you now who knows the news? I invited you to join the special affairs department. Do you want to? Let me say something here. Joining the special affairs department is similar to joining the military political review. The investigation must be done. Anyone who wants to enter the special affairs department must go through this procedure. Especially those who are recruited by the special affairs department He is a talented person. If these talents are not used in the right way, the troubles and losses caused will be greater than ordinary people, so we must be cautious. But since I have said this, all censorship will be aboveboard. No one will cheat on you. If there is, no matter who he is, I will not allow it. Le Cen, can you rest assured that I have said this? Do you want me to make an oath with you? "

Zhang Jingquan exclaimed: "Grandpa! What kind of oath did you swear to him—" Before finishing speaking, Zhong Lecen interrupted: "That's unnecessary, as you said, all the celestial masters respect your virtue, I Of course I have to believe it. Besides, I don’t have spiritual power, and the final oath is limited, isn’t it?”

Zhang Jingquan was so angry that his face turned blue and red: "You, do you believe my grandpa?"

But Zhang Shengyi laughed: "It's amazing! Sure enough, children will be different when they grow up. Well, in terms of Zhou Mi, you are indeed much stronger than Jing Quan, and you are smarter - just talking about the Nian beast, you are a year or two older than you People of the previous generation didn't get it done, but let you come up with a wax sacrifice - if it wasn't for lack of spiritual power, you would have to be counted in this generation of achievements in the Celestial Master's practice, what a pity..."

Shen Gu thought to himself, if you knew his spiritual power, you would be scared to death.Seeing that the quarrel was over, he stretched out his hand and pulled Zhong Lecen to sit down, and bowed slightly: "Since we have your words, of course we have nothing to say. But Le Cen's meaning is mine. Besides, I'm a lazy person, so I don't like to waste that energy. You can use it as soon as you see it, and if you don't, I'll still be my criminal policeman, it's nothing."

Zhang Shengyi didn't think it was disobedient: "Young people now have more personalities than we did back then. Well, it's settled like this, the procedures will go through one by one, and I will arrange for the instructor to come as soon as possible. In order to be more efficient, We won't waste any more time, Jingquan, let's go."

After seeing off Zhang Shengyi and others, Zhong Lecen saw the happy smile on Shen Gu's face as soon as he turned his head, and couldn't help being surprised: "What are you happy about?"

Shen Gu smiled, and hugged him: "It's the first time I see you lose your temper like this, and you can still curse."

Zhong Lecen glared at him: "Isn't it all for you?"

"So I'm happy."

Zhong Lecen blushed and kicked him.Shen Gu grabbed his ankle, and when he lost his center of gravity and fell backwards, he picked him up: "I found that you are really hooked when you curse—"

Zhong Lecen gave him a hard elbow, and successfully killed the last word "person" in the cradle: "Pervert!"

"You murdered your own husband!"

"You say it again!"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it." Shen Gu hugged him and fell on the bed, "Now tell me, what is the matter with the demon-killing thunder? The one who beat him must not be the Nian beast? Nian Beast, do we still need to work so hard to get rid of it?"

Zhong Lecen was silent.Shen Gu didn't urge him, instead, he stretched his hand through his shirt, stroking his back every now and then.After a long while, I heard Zhong Lecen say slowly: "The thunder may have hit me."

Shen Gu was surprised: "How is it possible?" He originally thought that it might be the dog ghost or himself, but he never thought it would be Zhong Lecen.

Zhong Lecen smiled wryly: "That day, Nian Beast took your soul and escaped from the fire hydrant, but your body couldn't enter the fire hydrant, so you were left behind. I—— I thought you were dead at first, so I forced the Ghost Dao to think Bring you back. At that moment, a thunderbolt struck—" His eyes were a little blank, "Zhu Yaolei, that's God and I also regarded it as a monster."

"Wait." Shen Gu held him down, "It's a bit against the laws of nature for you to forcibly open the way of ghosts, right? The lightning strike should be because of this, don't be so evil."

"No." Zhong Lecen shook his head. "Later, I carefully recalled that the thunder was already ringing before I opened the ghost path. It's just that I was thinking about you at the time, and I didn't notice it at all. At that time, my mood Agitation, indescribable anger and sadness, I always feel—something seems to rush out of my heart, I just want to yell. Do you remember? My second uncle said that my spiritual orifice was sealed, I doubt that At that time, the sealed spiritual power surged too violently, and it might have rushed away somewhere, Yaozhulei was able to strike down because he sensed this."

"Hey, you also said it's only 'possible'. Besides, do you feel that your spiritual aperture has been opened? Is there any change from before?"

Zhong Lecen was silent again, and said slowly for a long time: "Yes. My senses are sharper than before. When the Nian beast appeared, I was the first to discover it. At that time, it was still in the shadow of the glutinous rice balls. I already felt it. But when we were in the demolition area that day, it was Yakumo who smelled the Nian Beast first, and I knew that the Nian Beast was coming. Shen Gu, I think I understand a little bit what the second uncle said. My life is fierce. What do you mean? It was just a thunderbolt that killed the demon by mistake, and if my spirit orifices were fully opened, the lightning strikes would not be one or two, but hundreds of times, and the creatures who were accidentally injured and killed at that time would not know how many……"

Shen Gu hugged him tightly: "Don't talk nonsense. There must be a reason for killing demons, right? Just now Zhang Shengyi said that the sweet-scented osmanthus tree has never hurt anyone since it fell to the ground, and Lei would not hit it. What's more, you are a human being. If you don’t hurt people or kill you, why should Lei hit you?”

"It may be because I am emotionally impulsive, or it may be because I used magic spells. One of the two must be the one. Now I understand why the master in my previous life taught me to recite sutras and hold the Buddha, so that my mind is like calm water, without joy or anger. As for spells, That's even more useless. No matter how much you want to do good in your heart, the final result is still..."

Shen Gu interrupted him: "That master of yours is a fool! Teach you to be neither happy nor angry? Is that still a human being? People have joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys, and those who don't have them are wood. Also, you told me before, What was wrong in the previous life was due to attachment, right?"

"Yes." Zhong Lecen was a little sad, "If I hadn't been so stubborn to prove that I'm not a monster, I wouldn't—"

"Then what are you doing now?"

Zhong Lecen was a little overwhelmed: "Huh?"

"In your previous life, you always wanted to prove that you are not a monster. This is called obsession. Then in this life, you always want to prove that you are a monster. Is this considered too much?"

"But—" Zhong Lecen blinked, and suddenly found that he had nothing to say.To be honest, he has never thought about this question before, but now that Shen Gu said it like this, it really seems to have entered another dead end from one dead end, "This..."

Shen Gu pinched his face: "What is this?"

Zhong Lecen scratched his head, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Well, you are right, I——this is too persistent."

Shen Gu patted his reddish cheek lightly, and leaned back on the head of the bed: "Okay, let's talk about it now, why are you so aggressive towards Zhang Shengyi and the others?"

Zhong Lecen was dissatisfied: "It's not because they treat you as a monster!"

"Then why did you let me enter the special affairs department?"

"Don't you want to go?"

"Don't use me as an excuse." Shen Gu patted him, "According to your temper, since you suspect that they are spying on me, you won't let me enter the special affairs department again. What happened today? For what? What do I have? Question?"

Zhong Lecen began to bite his lips again, and Shen Gu hugged him and kissed him: "To be honest, do you just want Zhang Shengyi's guarantee? What are you afraid of? Afraid of what they will do to me? Didn't you say that there are some celestial master safety laws? huh? Then what are you worried about?"

Zhong Lecen frowned in distress, and finally said: "In the past, I only thought you had a bad spirit, but my second uncle said that you have a dark spirit, Zhang Shengyi also said the same, and even Le Yang said before that you seem to have come back from the gate of hell Yes, maybe...it's a bit weird."

Shen Gu shrugged: "What's so strange? Haven't I been to the gate of hell several times?"

"That's a living soul leaving the body! But what they're talking about is a ghost that escaped from the gate of hell! According to the rules of the celestial masters, if you encounter such a ghost, you can kill it directly."

Shen Gu was stunned: "What? Even if you escaped from the gate of hell, you don't necessarily deserve death, right? You didn't do evil in life, so why do you have to be destroyed after death?"

Zhong Lecen shook his head again and again: "No, no. I'm talking about escaping from the gate of hell. It's either a fierce ghost or an evil ghost. It's perfectly fine to kill it directly."

Shen Gu was even more surprised: "How do you know it must be a ghost or a ghost?"

Zhong Lecen pondered for a moment: "Actually, not everyone can be reincarnated. In this world, one who cultivates virtues and accumulates blessings, cultivates evils and accumulates misfortunes, and some of them will be rewarded in this life and some in the next life. , people are mediocre, and their soul is the remaining energy. At most, once they enter the gate of hell, they will disappear by themselves, and there is no chance to reincarnate. As for those who have not enjoyed the blessings in this life, they will repay the blessings in the next life. It is reincarnation to pay misfortune in the next life. But after reincarnation, it may not be an adult. Some people committed serious crimes in the previous life, and after death they turned into pigs and sheep, and were slaughtered. This is also reincarnation. Cultivating the afterlife has two meanings: one is to cultivate in the afterlife before you can be a human being, and the second is to cultivate the blessings of the afterlife. Of course, these are all small retributions. If you have accumulated great merit, you will go to the Land of Ultimate Bliss after death. There is the trouble of reincarnation; if the evil accumulated in the previous life is too great, you cannot be reincarnated, and you must redeem your sins in hell. The soul to be reincarnated will immediately cross the bridge of Naihe and then enter the wheel after entering the gate of hell. Therefore, only fierce ghosts and evil ghosts stay in the gate of hell. .”

This time it was Shen Gu's turn to scratch his head: "So that's the case. You are afraid that some celestial master will return me as an evil ghost and kill me directly, so you must guarantee Zhang Shengyi?"

"Since you have entered the special affairs department, you will have a certificate from the special affairs department. Ordinary celestial masters dare not do anything to you casually."

Shen Gu pondered for a while: "Why do I feel that you also think that I have a problem?"

Zhong Lecen was stunned for a moment: "I—"

"Ok?"

Zhong Lecen lowered his head: "I just suddenly thought a few days ago, if you were Suqin's stealth, or if Zuo Mu thought you were Suqin's stealth, why did he put a penis on you? Human body, but after all, it is when the fetus is not born, and the ghost has not yet entered the gate of hell, and there is still yang energy, so it is considered a living soul when it is born, and it is very afraid that the yin will destroy the yang. It's really unreasonable for you."

When Zuo Mu was mentioned, Shen Gu also had a headache: "Then what do you think is going on?"

Zhong Lecen bowed his head for a while, and finally said: "What if Suqin didn't steal her life, but Zuo Mu took her soul away, and then found a body in this world for her to leave?"
