Urban Night Returner

"My brother is missing?" Zhong Leyang finished half a year of rigorous training from the training camp, and just about to come to his brother to relax, when he encountered Zhong Lecen's disappearance, this was the first thing he said when he got off the plane.

Shen Gu nodded, and drove the car very fast: "I suspect that Zuo Mu used the space rift. I once felt the air fluctuation outside the door." He had already turned the house upside down, but apart from the blood stain Besides, there is no trace anymore.He had asked Liu Wu to take a blood sample for testing, but the blood stain was not identified as Zhong Lecen's.

"Have you turned over that place?" Zhong Leyang originally wanted to go and see for himself, but more than a day had passed, and even if there were any clues that were seriously missed, it should have dissipated by now.

"I've checked everything. I've also asked the people around me. Mr. Xie Zhujun rented a house there for more than a month, but no one has seen Zuo Mu. The landlord is an honest person. He always thought she was a fresh graduate from other places. Others know nothing."

Zhong Leyang frowned.After half a year of training, he became dark and thin.This training camp is funded by the five major families, and it is specially built for young celestial masters. It is managed militarily. In addition to various spell training, it also includes ordinary military training items, so his messy dyed hair has been cut. In terms of size, except for the spirit sand earrings on his ears, he looks like a well-behaved college student.

"Why do you think Zuo Mu wants to get brother away?"

Shen Gu was silent for a moment: "I thought about it, one possibility is that we repeatedly interrupted his plan. If so, your brother's life may be in danger."

Zhong Leyang frowned: "Is there anything else?"

"There is another possibility that your brother's life will not be in danger for the time being, but the result may be even worse - he wants to open your brother's sealed spiritual aperture." Shen Gu thought over and over again.If Zuo Mu wanted to kill Le Cen in retaliation for repeatedly interrupting his plan, Le Cen would not have disappeared. A dead body is obviously more shocking, and the blood stains should belong to Zhong Le Cen.Now that Zhong Lecen is missing, it is very likely that Zuo Mu thinks it is more useful to keep Zhong Lecen.Thinking about Zuo Mu's plans all along, Shen Gu still felt that Zuo Mu wanted to use Zhong Lecen's natural and powerful spiritual power.

Zhong Leyang's expression became even uglier: "The Zuo Mu you are talking about is the person I knew in my previous life? Does he know that my brother's spiritual power is close to demons?"

Shen Gu smiled wryly: "Near the demon? I'm afraid Zuo Mu has already been possessed by the demon. I even picked up the human skin worn by Mr. Xie Zhu. You can find out when you go home. The girl's body was also found. Forensic doctor I can't stand it, I haven't said that the skin is with me..." Fortunately, the child who was abducted by Xie Zhujun woke up shortly after, and although he was frightened, there were no sequelae.

Zhong Leyang said with a sullen face, "What did the Zuo family say?"

"Zuo Jian has already rushed this way. He seems to have a lot of problems at home during this time."

"Oh, I know a little bit about this. The biggest total solar eclipse of this century is about to happen. When the time comes, it will be very cloudy. Now every family is arranging manpower to be on guard. Originally, I have to go home, because my brother's incident has just happened. Zuo Jian, as the next Patriarch who has been accepted by default, is not easy to get out now. But since Zuo Mu is a member of the Zuo family, they have the responsibility to help. How many people do we have now?"

"You, me, Yakumo, at most there is a wolf." Dongfang Chen is treating his eyes, Xiao Heizi is insulated from Yin Yin, Liu Wu is just an ordinary person, and he can't use it.For Xiaoxi's sake, Lang Yiming agreed to help, but he still doesn't know how he can help.

"Have you tried tracking with dog ghosts?"

"I tried, but I couldn't catch it. There is a crack in the space, and the dog ghost can't track it."

Zhong Leyang frowned and thought for a while: "I'll try the round light technique when I get back."

Shen Gu drove the car crazily, and as soon as he got home, Zhong Leyang washed his hands: "Find something clean to hold water."

Shen Gu knew that what he meant by clean meant that it hadn't been stained with anything fishy, ​​so he flipped through it, and brought out a brush that Zhong Lecen usually used to grind cinnabar.Zhong Leyang poured clear water, drew a Zhang Fu, held it and shook it, and a small flame ignited.The flames were reflected on the water, Shen Gu blinked, and seemed to see a forest, but immediately a cloud of water burst out on the water, extinguishing the talisman fire, Zhong Leyang seemed to have been punched in the face, and suddenly leaned back. The water bowl was also overturned, and the water flowed all over the floor.

Shen Gu reached out to support him: "Zuo Mu found out?"

Zhong Leyang coughed and nodded: "He set up an enchantment, which is quite powerful."

"That means Le Cen should still be alive, Zuo Mu is for his spiritual power."

"Yes. My brother's life should not be in danger for the time being. It's just that there will be a total solar eclipse in three days. If we can't find them, my brother will still be in danger."

"I just saw what seemed to be a forest."

"Did you see it?" Zhong Leyang was a little surprised, "Only the practitioner of the round light technique can see it. Did you really see it?"

"Just a flash, I think it's a forest."

Zhong Leyang pondered for a while, then jumped up suddenly: "Then, come and try his mind!"

"what?"

"He has a clear mind! You think of my brother, reach out and grab it."

Shen Gu was puzzled: "Catch what?"

"That's--let me put it this way...His heart connection is a Buddhist term. Simply put, it means connecting your heart with his heart, connecting with each other, and connecting with each other. Cough, this is not very clear!"

Shen Gu is half-knowledgeable: "There is a tacit understanding?"

"Oh, you can put it that way. Some people who practice his mind can even pull another person back to them from a certain place. Although you haven't practiced his mind, you were able to recover from my circle of light just now. Seeing the scene here means that your spiritual power is not weak, and the relationship between you and my brother is, to some extent, the closest, try it!"

Shen Gu was still confused, he said Zhong Lecen's name in his heart as Zhong Leyang said, and stretched out his hand to grab the air - nothing.

Zhong Leyang was a little disappointed, and shook his head: "Sure enough, it's not good if I haven't practiced before."

Shen Gu hadn't figured out what this "He Xintong" was when his cell phone rang, and Xiao Heizi hurriedly said, "Brother Shen, Mr. Lu Zheng Li has already contacted him. The old man promised to talk to us. You Come here right now?"

Mr. Lu is an old friend of Wu Shi. After retiring, he specialized in collecting historical and cultural materials of Binhai.Shen Gu knew there was such a person at Wu Shi's funeral, so he asked Zheng Li to help, to see if the old man could get Xie Zhujun's 01:30 clue.According to Wu Shi's request during his lifetime, Wu Shi's funeral was quick and simple, and he was cremated and buried immediately after his death, without any farewell or memorial service.However, despite this, many people came on the day of the burial.Although the sons and daughters of the Wu family advocate simplicity, Zheng Li spent a lot of money to buy a good tombstone. It is said that he hired a well-known stone carver to drive it out. It looks luxurious, but the cost is really a lot.The sons and daughters of the Wu family felt a little sorry, but Shen Gu understood that Zheng Li could only use this method to express his apology.But the tombstone can be bought with money, but the heavy cross he is carrying cannot be gotten rid of with money.

"I'll go there right away." In order to avenge Wu Shi, Zheng Li also did his best. Because Mr. Lu is old, he doesn't see outsiders. Without Zheng Li, Shen Gu really can't help it.

"Le Yang, come with me. I think it's easier to start with Xie Zhujun." It's also more practical. At least Shen Gu still thinks that "his heart is connected" is too mysterious now.

Mr. Lu is very similar to Wu Shi in some aspects, but he does not have the military temperament of Wu Shi, and he looks more like a grandfather next door.Of course, Shen Gu couldn't tell the old man what the hell was human skin, he only vaguely said that there was a case involving an old porcelain, and wanted to find out if there were any people who could make exquisite porcelain in the area of ​​Dayao.

"Oh, it's a coincidence that you asked about this matter. I really have some information on this matter." Mr. Lu heard that Shen Gu is a policeman, so he naturally didn't ask any more questions. He put on his glasses, and took out a rice paper notebook. "This is the genealogy of the family I copied by hand. The surname is Yang. It is a bit similar to what Xiao Zheng said, but I don't know if it is true. It was provided to me by the descendants of that family when I collected information. I remember that I wrote a piece of tofu in the Evening News and talked about the history of local porcelain production... It’s too far away, let’s talk about it. When I went to collect information, the family said that the ancestors They moved here from Jingdezhen, Jiangxi. They were considered a family of porcelain-makers in Jingdezhen. They once made official porcelain in the early years of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty. Later, it gradually declined, and the title of official kiln disappeared. It is said that their family’s The decline is really related to the bodiless porcelain you mentioned. The bodiless porcelain appeared in the Yongle period and reached its peak in the Chenghua period, but the Yang family failed repeatedly, and never succeeded. Probably because of this, the Yang family He lost his position in the porcelain industry and had to move out of Jingdezhen. First, he moved several times near Jingdezhen, and finally came to Binhai during the Daoguang period, and lived in the area of ​​Dayao. Yang Mo, the descendant of this generation who came to Binhai, his His wife's surname is Xie. Coincidentally, Xie's family is also from Jingdezhen, and they used to make porcelain, so the husband and wife can be regarded as colleagues. Xie's porcelain making skills are not inferior to Yang Mo, especially in painting. Yang Mo All the porcelain made by Xie painted patterns. Maybe because of having a like-minded wife, Yang Mo decided to make bodiless porcelain again.”

"The production of bodiless porcelain is extremely complicated and difficult. Take the embryo trimming as an example. It takes nearly a hundred times of rough trimming, fine trimming, and fine trimming to repair the embryo body with a thickness of about 0.5 mm, and then carry out the embryo body trimming first. Bisque firing, glazing and painting after bisque firing require more than 40 processes. However, according to the statement handed down by the Yang family, Yang Mo once fired a batch of bodiless porcelain fired at one time, which is simply impossible. But he fired The batch of porcelains made were all plain blue and white glazed, without any floral decorations, because at that time his wife Xie Shi had just passed away, and no one in the Yang family could paint pictures like her, so Yang Mo preferred to burn the porcelain Plain and white, in memory of his wife."

Shen Gu's heart skipped a beat.In memory of his wife?Why did Xie Shi die at this time?

"Old man, how did the Xie family die, is there any record in the Yang family?"

Mr. Lu shook his head: "There is no detailed record. It is only said that he died of a sudden illness. He was fine for the first few days and passed away on the third day. However, some people said that when Mrs. Xie was buried, the coffin bearers felt very light. , I suspect that there is no corpse inside. Of course, there is no evidence for this news. According to the genealogy, the Xie family died violently."

"Then, is the kind of porcelain that Yang Mo fired still handed down in the world?"

"No more. Because Yang Mo fired such a batch of bodiless porcelain, and the porcelain kiln collapsed shortly afterwards. If the Yang family built a porcelain kiln, they would never be able to burn the same porcelain again. After Yang Mo was overjoyed, he was disappointed. Crazy for a few years."

Zhong Leyang couldn't help asking: "But since he burned a batch, and it was so mysterious, someone should collect it?"

Mr. Lu smiled: "That's right, at that time Binhai actually produced precious bodiless porcelain, and the local government bought it to honor the boss, but this kind of porcelain is very fragile, and the end of the Qing Dynasty was a turbulent era. The batches of bodiless porcelain were basically damaged. Only one piece was properly collected by a local collector, but after more than 100 years, this piece of porcelain broke by itself.”

Shen Gu asked: "Did you really break it yourself? What is the basis?"

"It was indeed broken by myself. At the time of the Cultural Revolution, these things were all four olds and were to be destroyed. The descendants of this collector made a box and buried them in order not to smash the things passed down by the older generation. It went underground. Ten years later, he thought he had escaped a catastrophe, so he wanted to dig it up and donate it to the country, but when he dug it out, everything else was fine, except for the blood-like spots on the surface of this bodiless porcelain vase. The red silk shattered when he picked it up lightly. The strangest thing was that when he looked at the fragments, there was no embryonic bone inside, and it was really pure glaze."

When Shen Gu heard this, he could already confirm that the Xie family in this story was Mr. Xie Zhujun. Her death at that time was not a violent death, but was killed by her husband in a porcelain kiln.Her resentment made Yang Mo burn into a real "born" porcelain, which is why Yang Mo could no longer burn this kind of porcelain.

"Oh, there are still some legends, which can only be regarded as unofficial history, because there is no evidence for that era. It is said that the batch of porcelain fired by Yang Mo is an ominous thing. Not only Yang Mo himself is crazy, but the Yang family is also crazy. It quickly declined, and the descendants could not even have a porcelain maker, and the craftsmanship was lost. And anyone who collected this batch of porcelain did not have good results in the end. "

"Really?"

"Oh, as I said just now, it's just a wild legend. I personally think it's just a coincidence. Just like the famous Hope diamond, the legend will bring bad luck to the holder, but Harry Winston, who collected it in the end, did not suffer As far as any so-called "bad luck" is concerned, I think it is just people's speculation that jewelry and utensils will bring bad luck. For example, the batch of bodiless porcelain fired by Yang Mo was in the turbulent era of the late Qing Dynasty, and the country was not peaceful. Individuals? In this case, the collectors of porcelain did not have good results, but what about the thousands of ordinary people who did not know what bodiless porcelain is but died unexpectedly? And the family who finally owned bodiless porcelain did not No bad luck happened, and no family was destroyed even during the Cultural Revolution. How can this be explained? Right? So in my personal opinion, these are just legends. "

Shen Gu and Zhong Leyang looked at each other, thinking that you think it is absurd, but this absurd thing happened right in front of your eyes.Besides, this old man is obviously also a person who is very interested in unofficial history, otherwise how could he remember so many "absurd" legends so clearly.

"Then have you verified where the Yang family's porcelain kiln was built?"

"I have actually researched this. It is in the area of ​​Dayao. I remember that after liberation, houses were to be built in that area, and broken pieces of porcelain were dug up. It is probably the current Jimo Road demolition area, but I don't know which house it is. Don’t mention me, even descendants of the Yang family are not sure.”

"There are still descendants of the Yang family in Binhai?"

"Of course. Otherwise, who provided this genealogy to me?"

"So, do you still have contact with them?"

"Yes. I got to know a lot of people when I was collecting information. Now it has been more than ten years, and many people have not been in touch. The Yang family is in frequent contact with our family, because a little girl was born two or three years ago, and they came I sent red eggs. The daughter-in-law of the Yang family got along well with my daughter-in-law, and the two of them watched Korean dramas. I heard that they moved to the Nanshan Flower Market last year. The photo of the little girl was posted on the Internet. I’ve been here, chubby is very fun. My daughter-in-law likes children, isn’t her own child already grown up, she likes other people’s homes, and sometimes she and Yang’s daughter-in-law take the children out to play.”

Shen Gu's heart skipped a beat: "Can you show us the child's photo?"

"Okay. Jiyong, go and turn on the computer, pull out the photo of that little girl from the Yang family and show it to Police Officer Shen. My grandson, I don't know how to use computers, so let him show you."

Grandpa Lu's grandson quickly turned on the computer and brought up a dozen pictures.After seeing the first picture, Shen Gu understood, the little fat girl who smiled so hard that her teeth could not be seen was the little girl who was abducted by Xie Zhujun in Nanshan Market that day?After a long time, Mr. Xie Zhu didn't want to hurt the child, but came to be close to future generations.
