Urban Night Returner

The wind and rain are intertwined, and the further you go to Laoshan, the more violent the wind and rain will be.Shen Gu took out the posture he had in the army back then, and drove the car almost to the point of flying, using drift for several big turns.Fortunately, none of the people in the car were fuel-efficient lights. Zhang Xuezheng took out a brown-black piccolo from his backpack, and wiped it gently with a soft cloth; Xiao Heizi took out his gun and checked it again, although he knew it was useless. Once again, fill the bullets to the full.

Zhong Lecen pressed the car door armrest against the glass and looked out: "I don't know what those two people from Tu Yumen's family are doing to make such a big commotion!"

Zhang Xuezheng interjected: "I don't know much about shikigami, but to accept a spirit body as a shikigami requires a confirmation process. This process can be voluntary or forced. The forced one, Sometimes the methods are quite cruel. Do you know that there is a thing called Guanhu?"

Xiao Heizi and Shen Gu naturally didn't know about it.But Zhong Lecen shuddered: "buy a fox in the soil with only its head exposed, die of hunger and thirst alive, skin its skin alive before dying, imprison its soul in a bamboo tube, and make a tube Fox. But this kind of method is too cruel, it is already forbidden."

"That's right. Because it's too cruel, people who are a little bit more righteous don't bother to do it. The forced shikigami alliance is similar to this, except that most of them don't kill shikigami, but the torture methods are absolutely Inferior. Some even like to manipulate the shikigami of the dark shikigami, and especially want to kill the shikigami and use the soul body."

"You mean those two people from Tu Yumen's family are torturing Yazi?"

"Jiazi is the son of the ancient dragon. How can it be so easy to accept him as a shikigami? What's more, Yazi is born wild and easy to kill. In fact, he is not a suitable choice for a shikigami. If living creatures cannot be subdued, they may consider killing them and using their soul bodies. After all, if it is manipulated well, the soul body with resentment may be even more powerful."

Shen Gu frowned, and stepped on the accelerator harder.Zhong Lecen said angrily: "It's no wonder the dog ghost doesn't want to go back, I'm afraid they haven't been treated well."

Zhang Xuezheng sighed: "In the past, Abe Seimei's shikigami were all voluntary alliances. Unfortunately, when it comes to his descendants, virtue is not enough to win, and only strength is left."

Zhong Lecen sneered: "Creatures that can be Shikigami are all spiritual. If you treat them well, they will listen to you. If you just blindly suppress them with force, who will be convinced? If you are backlashed at that time, you will also suffer yourself!"

Zhang Xuezheng nodded and smiled: "That's right, so we are offering sacrifices to gods and raising ghosts. Only with respect and compassion can we truly serve ghosts and gods. It's a pity that the Japanese don't always understand this truth."

Shen Gu didn't speak, but turned the steering wheel violently again, the car twisted hard on the winding mountain road, and went straight to Laoshan Reservoir.At this time, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and it was pitch black, only occasionally illuminated by lightning, and the heavy rain, even with wipers, was useless, and the road ahead was basically invisible.But Shen Gu still drove the car to the place where the road was too narrow to drive anymore, and everyone abandoned the car and walked.

The reservoir was built according to the original valley. A dam is 672 meters long and 26 meters high. Usually, when the weather is fine, it is a good place for tourists to take pictures.But now, there is heavy wind and rain above the reservoir, and in the pitch-black night sky, pale lightnings tear through the darkness from time to time, revealing the monster writhing and rolling in mid-air—Jai Zi is covered with pale golden things, like It is wearing a golden armor, but if you look carefully, you can see that there are some golden characters, but it is difficult to see what it is under its fierce struggle.Yazi's tail was still in the water, every time it rolled over, the tail would stir up huge eddies and waves in the water, violently hitting the embankment.As soon as Shen Gu and the others got on the embankment, they felt that the embankment seemed to be trembling a little.He glanced around: "There seems to be no one." Regardless of the reason for Yazi's appearance, the two members of Tu Yumen's family did not seem to be there.Of course, with such a heavy wind and rain, he couldn't see very far.

"I can't control that much anymore. If Yazi continues to torment, the water level of the reservoir will exceed the standard!" Zhong Lecen ordered decisively, "Heizi, keep an eye on your surroundings. If you find the two people from Tu Yumen's family, speak up immediately! Uncle Zhang Find a way to make Yazi quieter. Shen Gu, you have to take care of both sides. If Yazi rushes over, you have to block it; if the two people from the Tuyumen family make any movement, you have to stop it! Unfortunately, it is too late, otherwise Let Liu Wu go to the talisman and wait first!" The wind was so strong that it seemed to blow people away, and with the big raindrops between them, it immediately drenched everyone from inside to outside, Zhong Lecen only said After these few words, I was choked by the wind and couldn't breathe.

No one disputed his command.Xiao Heizi drew out his gun, Zhang Xuezheng took out his flute, and a moment later, a melodious flute sounded on the dam.The wind howled, and there was the sound of waves beating against the embankment under your feet, but Zhang Xuezheng's flute sound was still clear and bright, as if a gentle hand was caressing something.Yazi's frenzied movements in mid-air gradually became smaller, and as it gradually calmed down, the wind and rain also subsided, and Zhang Xuezheng's flute sound became softer and more pleasant, like singing a lullaby.Zhang Xuezheng's hair and clothes were already wet, but he closed his eyes slightly, as if he was completely immersed in the music. The rhinoceros horn flute glowed softly in his hand, like translucent jade.

Yazi gradually calmed down. Although his tail was still in the water, it no longer stirred up waves and eddies.Shen Gu asked in a low voice: "How long can this be?" He could see that Zhang Xuezheng was only trying to appease Yazi, but could not fundamentally solve the problem.The characters on Yazi's body may have been used by the two members of the Tuyumen family to detain him. Based on Zhang Xuezheng's flute sound, Yazi may be hypnotized, but if those characters are not resolved, Yazi will be controlled at any time.

Zhong Lecen was about to speak, when Shen Gu turned around suddenly, and Xiao Heizi also raised his gun at the same time: "There is someone!"

"Papapa——" With the clapping of applause, a person slowly came out of the woods beside the embankment, "The Zhang family's celestial master really lives up to his reputation. With a small flute, he can control a god like Yazi. ,I admire you."

As soon as this person came out, Yazi immediately reacted again.Zhang Xuezheng's eyebrows twitched slightly, the sound of the flute was raised a little higher, Yazi moved, and then slowly fell silent.

Shen Gu looked at him: "Kazuo Tsuchimikado?" This person is over 40 years old. Judging from his age, he should be Kazuo Tsuchimikado, which is very similar to the mock photo.

Kazuo Tuyumen squinted his eyes and looked at Shen Gu: "You must be the police officer Shen, right? The one next to you must be Zhong Tianshi, right? Very good, I am honored to meet you two."

Shen Gu said coldly: "It's no luck. Is there another person? Why didn't you come out? What do you want to do when you detain Yazi?"

Kazuo Tumimen laughed. He had a mustache on his upper lip, which is a typical image of a "devil" in the Chinese mind, so no matter what his expression was, it was annoying: "Jiazi is not your property, it is nothing. The master. Whoever can serve it is its master. Now, we are taming shikigami, and it has nothing to do with you. Although we call it Onmyoji in Japan and Tianshi in your China, the two are actually interlinked, so this You should know the rules. Don’t bother us, you can’t control us.”

Shen Gu sneered: "I can't control it? Don't say that you are stepping on the land of China, but that you have violated the laws of China by manipulating Yazi to kill Lu Jin. Of course I can control it!"

Kazuo Tsuchimikado frowned: "Lu Jin? Oh, you mean that Chinese? He shouldn't be following us!"

Shen Gu confronted each other: "If you didn't do anything, why did he follow you?"

Kazuo Tsuchimikado lowered his face: "We are just training Shikigami."

"Training shikigami?" Zhong Lecen interjected angrily, "Is this your training? Using the Dapeng Mingwang Curse to torture or even kill Yazi? Is this how your shikigami were trained? And Lu Jin just followed, you guys Can you just kill someone casually?"

"Of course." Kazuo Tsuchimikado didn't feel guilty at all, "This is our training method. Since it doesn't want to live to become our shikigami, then we have to change another method. Your Chinese Guanhu also uses Was it done this way? As for the murder, we did not kill it. It was because the man was too close, and Yazi attacked him fiercely. It is precisely because of this that we decided to kill Yazi, otherwise It can kill people, right? If we refine it into a soul body, then we can better control it from killing people."

Shen Gu waved his hand to stop Zhong Lecen, and said calmly: "But you use this method to train shikigami here in the reservoir, which will bring hidden dangers to the reservoir and endanger the surrounding residents. This is absolutely not allowed!"

Kazuo Tsuchimikado was a bit at a loss for words this time, and he reluctantly said after a few seconds: "We will succeed soon."

"No." Shen Gu remained calm, "This is a reservoir, not your shikigami training ground. I may not be able to control you if you want to train your shikigami, but I can handle your dangerous behavior. Either you immediately Leave, or - I will detain you on charges of endangering public order."

A trace of anger flashed in Tsuchimikado Kazuo's eyes: "I said, we can succeed right away, once we succeed, we will leave immediately."

Shen Gu said coldly: "I'm talking about now!"

Kazuo Tsuchimikado couldn't bear it anymore: "Don't bully people too much!"

"Too much bullying?" Little Heizi couldn't help but scold, "You fucking killed the Chinese on Chinese territory, and you still say we're bullying too much?"

Kazuo Tsuchimikado glanced at Yazi.Yazi has been slowly descending from the air into the water under the comfort of Zhang Xuezheng's flute, and the shining golden characters on his body are gradually dimming.He was urging the Dapeng Mingwang Mantra to slowly kill Yazi just now, so that Yazi's spiritual power could be preserved to the greatest extent due to pain and resentment.Now because the sound of Zhang Xuezheng's flute actually offset part of the spell power, the process of killing Yazi was interrupted.If this continues for a while longer, Yazi's anger will gradually recover, and he will have to start all over again.Taming shikigami is a task that consumes a lot of energy and spiritual power, not to mention that Yazi is the son of the ancient dragon god, not an ordinary ground-bound spirit or floating spirit.These days they tried various methods but could not tame Ya Zi, so they had to take this last resort.With this method, first of all, Jai Zi must be killed, and secondly, Jai Zi must be killed as slowly and painfully as possible.Neither of these is easy to do.Fortunately, when Kuritaguchi Ichiro arrested Yazi, the Dapeng King Ming curse was still on Yazi, and with the Qinglong Jade in their hands, they could think of a way. It is difficult, let alone killed.Even with the Dapeng King Ming Curse, they couldn't bring the untamed Yazi back to the country.According to his plan, Yazi will be killed tonight, and it will take about three days to refine it before it can be brought back to Japan.Just now, he had already spent three hours starting from activating the spell, and his energy was very exhausted. If he gave up halfway, at least he would have to rest for several days before coming back.Moreover, Yazi became even more hostile to them after this torture, and it was even more difficult to control.Not to mention anything else, even if he leaves immediately according to Shen Gu's statement, there is no guarantee that he can successfully arrest Yazi from the reservoir and take him away.If Yazi went crazy on the way, he might die.That being the case, it is better to die than others——

Xiao Heizi seemed to see a shadow flashing in the darkness, and he instinctively raised his gun, but he had never killed anyone.Most of the time, the police wear guns to serve as a deterrent. In the face of criminal suspects, unless they are resisting arrest, they cannot easily shoot.Not to mention that he is actually more of a civilian, and he has never hunted down criminals. Now that he raised his gun, he suddenly muttered in his heart-should he shoot?What if someone was killed?Although he clearly felt that the two Japanese had killed someone, even if they were sentenced to death, he shouldn't be the one to carry out the execution!Of course, this was just a flash of thought, but it was just such a flash, a cold light flashed in front of his eyes, and with a ding sound, he lightened his hand, and the whole gun was cut in half.The figure flickered and passed by him.

Shen Gu turned around suddenly, the gun was already in his hand, he almost didn't even aim at it, and threw a shot at Zhang Xuezheng's side.Xiao Heizi faintly heard a ding, and the blurry figure disappeared in a flash, just as suddenly as when it came.But Zhang Xuezheng's flute paused for a moment, then he suddenly opened his eyes and glanced at his side.It's just that his flute stopped, and Yazi became restless again.Shen Gu said in a deep voice, "You just play the flute, and I'll do the rest!" Although it was the wind and rain, his voice was resounding.Zhang Xuezheng glanced at him, and slowly immersed his body and mind into the music again, Yazi became quiet again.

Kazuo Tsuchimikado's expression was a little ugly.He had been standing in the woods just now and didn't come out immediately, just observing his opponent.From the moment Zhang Xuezheng played the rhinoceros horn flute, he knew who this person was.Zhang Xuezheng is well-known among the Celestial Masters. Since he is going to come to China, he has naturally done some research on his Chinese counterparts.Zhang Xuezheng used twelve wine glasses to drive away mandrills at a small Sino-Japanese cultural exchange meeting. That time he left a deep impression on the Japanese side.Although Kazuo Tsuchimikado did not participate in the exchange meeting at that time, someone from the Tsuchimikado family did participate, and of course he came back to describe it afterwards.Later, Zhang Xuezheng did a lot of things, plus he was from the Zhang family, so he was naturally well-known. When Kazuo Tsuchimikado recognized him, he regarded him as a strong enemy.As for the other three people, Xiao Heizi and Zhong Lecen could tell at a glance that they were ordinary people, except for Shen Gu, who had a faint evil spirit about him, which was a bit shocking.But in his mind, a young man, no matter what, is not as threatening as Zhang Xuezheng.Moreover, Zhang Xuezheng directly interfered with his refinement of Yazi, so his idea was to get rid of Zhang Xuezheng first, and then the remaining one, Shen Gu, would be easy to deal with.After all, he has two people on his side, one will deal with Shen Gu, and the other will continue to refine Yazi, so neither will be delayed.This is also the reason why Xiao Heizi was the first to bear the brunt of the attack, but his gun was cut off and his life was not injured - he didn't threaten, so there was no need to kill more people.But I didn't expect that Shen Gu's reaction would be so fast. If he didn't sneak attack Zhang Xuezheng now, it would be difficult to deal with later.

After Shen Gu finished speaking to Zhang Xuezheng, he cast his gaze into the darkness, and said coldly: "So there are still people in the Tuyumen family who learn ninjutsu?"

Little Heizi was taken aback, and blurted out: "Ninja?"

Shen Gu sneered: "Ninjas may not be qualified, but at least they have received ninjutsu training. Did you use shuriken just now? It is rare now." But all tense.Indeed, he did not expect Tsuchimikado Jiro to have received ninjutsu training.If it's one-on-one, he's not afraid.To put it bluntly, ninjas are just another type of special forces, but of course there are Japanese characteristics in training.But now in the dark night, the enemy is in the dark, and the opponent is taking advantage.And there are three people on his side who need protection.Although he could also see that Zhang Xuezheng was the target of the other party's sneak attack, there was no guarantee that he would not attack Xiao Heizi and Zhong Lecen.Just now, if the other party wanted to kill Xiao Heizi, it would be very difficult for him to save him.

Tsuchimikado Jiro in the dark was even more surprised.In the Tsuchimikado family, he is considered an outlier.The Tsuchimikado family has always been known for their Onmyoji, but he felt that learning Onmyoji in this world is less useful and relatively restrictive, so he learned Ninjutsu.Although he did not receive a full set of formal ninja training, he thought he had learned well.But in such a sudden attack just now, Shen Gu was able to blow his shuriken away in the dark with one shot. If it wasn't a coincidence, then he might not be his opponent.For a while, the two sides fell into a stalemate...
