Urban Night Returner

"It's nothing, brother Shen." Xiao Heizi straightened his sore waist, and looked at Shen Gu with a bitter face.They have been searching this green belt for more than two hours. Almost every kale leaf has to be turned over, but they have not found any suspicious traces.

Shen Gu also stood up.There are traces of being trampled on in the green belt, but because there are too many traces, it means that there are no traces. At least, there are no traces that he wants to find.

"Brother Shen, what exactly are you looking for?"

Shen Gu shook his head slightly.Now they have searched along the green belt to the site of the incident.The biggest selling point of this community is its elegant environment and large green area. Apart from the station, there is not even a supermarket nearby. Most of the people who come here have their own cars.From this location, the nearest building is No. 4, but the viewpoint below the fifth floor is too low to see people close to the base of the wall, and no one is staying on the fifth to seventh floors... Is there really no witness?

A man came out from the gate of the community. It was the man from the family in Building 4 just now, with a bag of garbage in his hand. Seeing Shen Gu and Xiao Heizi, he was a little dazed: "Are you still leaving?" It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon clock.

Shen Gu said lightly: "Let's look for any clues."

The man sighed a little: "You have worked hard enough, haven't you eaten yet? Alas, the security measures in this community are not bad, who knew that this kind of thing would happen."

Seeing that he was willing to talk, Shen Gu chatted with him: "How long have you guys moved here?"

"It's only been two months. I only bought it on the basis of a relationship. It's only been half a year since the opening, and it has already grown to almost [-]. Now this house is still worthless?"

"Is there no one on the fifth floor?"

"No. I heard that it has been sold. It is probably a real estate speculator. I don't want to live in it."

Shen Gu sighed: "Only people above the fifth floor can see this place, so there are no witnesses."

The man was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was still talking about this case: "That's true. But at that time at night, everyone was probably eating, so how could anyone look out? My mother was looking out the window at that time, but she didn't see anything. "

"Oh? Then can I talk to the old man?"

"Hi!" The man waved his hand, "My mother is not in good spirits, you can't ask anything. And she was a little sick yesterday, and my wife and I were busy cooking in the kitchen. Look, she fell ill, and kept talking about shadows eating shadows, all night long. What can you talk to her about, she doesn’t recognize people very much, so she can’t help.”

Until the end, Shen Gu and Xiao Heizi did not find any useful clues.Seeing that it was getting dark, Shen Gu's cell phone rang suddenly, Zhong Lecen said hurriedly on the other end of the phone: "Where are you?"

"Still at the scene. Have you arrived at Xiao's house? I'll go right away." The person who has already agreed, if it is getting dark and he has no time to go back, Zhong Lecen will take the cigarettes given by Shao Jing to the old house to light it first. Then he goes as quickly as possible.Now that Zhong Leyang is also there, Shen Gu feels that there is no need for him to worry if he is on top, but hearing Zhong Lecen's voice, something seems to have happened.

"You, you don't need to worry. I'm afraid, you don't need to come here at all." Zhong Lecen's voice was strange, "The yin energy in the backyard is gone. The second uncle said that someone used the Golden Wheel Curse here."

"Golden Wheel Curse? That's right, didn't Shao Jing say that he used the Great Sun Tathagata Golden Wheel Curse for the formation?"

"No, no. Shao Jing's formation is just writing the Golden Wheel Curse on the wall. It will take time to eliminate all the Yin Qi, but now that the Yin Qi is gone, the second uncle said that someone has activated the formation. The human nature to be able to do this is extremely high, and Shao Jing should not be able to do it."

"Really? I'll be there right away."

Shen Gu drove to Xiao's old house, and saw at a glance that the unremoved walls in the backyard had all collapsed, as if they had been blasted.The three of Zhong's father and son stood at the door, all looking thoughtfully at the yard.Shen Gu walked over: "What's the matter?"

The butler of the house stood aside, and respectfully repeated the question that had been answered several times: "I don't know either."

"Who has been here?"

"There are no outsiders, but Mr. Qingfan went to the gate of the backyard to watch for a while and then left."

Shen Gu nodded, indicating that he could leave first, and then asked Zhong Lecen: "Is the Yin Qi gone?"

Zhong Lecen nodded affirmatively: "No more. The second uncle said the same."

"Second Uncle, what's the matter with the mobilization formation that Le Cen just said? How is it different from what Shao Jing did?"

Zhong Yi had been looking at the ruins all the time, and only then did he speak: "The child of the Zhang family was born with the six-character mantra, and he is the head of both Buddhism and Taoism, a rare talent. But he didn't learn well, the so-called Natural spiritual power is indeed precious, but if it cannot be integrated, it will not be easy to use, and it will not be able to exert its maximum power. The array formed by Zhang Jingcun did use the Golden Wheel Curse, but his usage is just the same Painting a gourd, if it wasn't for his inborn karma with the Buddha, it wouldn't be effective at all. But even if he was gifted, it would be difficult for him to use the Golden Wheel Curse to its fullest power, so he only needed a few months to use it. time, and supplemented by sunlight to extinguish the yin energy. However, the person who activated the formation later exerted the power of the Golden Wheel Curse to the maximum, and immediately extinguished the yin energy, so there is no need to wait any longer."

"So, the humaneness of mobilizing the formation is much higher than that of Shao Jing?"

"However, he still uses the Golden Wheel Mantra written by Zhang Jingcun, just to make the best use of the situation. It is not clear whether he can't write the Golden Wheel Mantra himself, or he feels that he doesn't need to spend extra energy. But as far as the Taoism itself is concerned, he is indeed far away. Far above Zhang Jingcun."

Shen Gu thought for a moment, pulled Zhong Lecen away, and asked him: "Do you know who Suqin is?"

"Suqin?" Zhong Lecen didn't realize it for a while, "That's not your mother—"

"My mother's name is Shuqin—" Shen Gu stopped suddenly, something flashed through his mind, but he didn't catch it for a while.He urged Zhong Lecen: "Think about it, I mean, what happened in my previous life."

"In the last life—" Zhong Lecen stared at the sky desperately to recall, and said hesitantly for a long time, "It seems that the woman Zuo Mu loved in the last life was called Suqin."

"you sure?"

"It should be--sure...Although I recall those things, I don't remember everything so clearly. However, I remember that when I used the green clam method, I wrote her name, which should be Suqin .Yes, Zhang Suqin. Why are you asking this?"

"Today, Xiao Qingfan called me Suqin."

"Ah?" Zhong Lecen's eyes almost fell out, "He called you? Did he really call you?"

Shen Gu nodded awkwardly: "Do you remember the time we eliminated chaos in the Jinyu Building? The first time we met, he called Suqin once, but I didn't hear it clearly at the time. This time we are so close, I can't hear it wrong. And he also said that he wanted to get the spring water from Sansheng Spring, which reminded me of the past. If the soul in his body is Zuo Mu..."

The more Shen Gu said, the more difficult it was, the two looked at each other, and after a while, Zhong Lecen whispered, "Are you the reincarnation of Suqin?"

Shen Gu's head was full of black lines: "Does the soul have no gender?"

"The soul has no gender. The so-called male and female ghosts are actually determined by the memory before death. In other words, if you remember that you are a man, you will be a male ghost, and if you remember that you are a woman, you will be a female ghost. But this kind of memory will not affect your reincarnation. The gender of the body. What’s more, when the soul is reincarnated, it has to drink Mengpo soup across the Naihe bridge, and the memory of the previous life will be gone. So this life is a man, the next life may be a woman, this life is a human, and the previous life may be a beast. Even humans, beasts, insects and fish can be transformed, let alone men and women."

Shen Gu felt a shocking thunder strike straight from the top of his head.Is he the reincarnation of Suqin?He was a woman in his previous life?Is he going to die?

"But...it doesn't make sense. If you are Suqin, why do you have no memory in Sanshengquan?"

"Yes!" With a move in his heart, Shen Gu seized the idea that flashed past just now, and slapped himself, "I can't be Suqin! Do you remember? I told you that the reason why my mother It is called Shuqin because grandma dreamed of a pregnant woman, and she said she was called Shuqin. Grandma was pregnant soon after waking up. The family thought it was a good omen sent by this woman, so they named the child Shuqin as well. Qin. Now that I think about it, maybe that woman didn't mean 'shuqin' but 'suqin'."

Zhong Lecen stared blankly at him: "That is to say, you are the child of Zuo Mu and Suqin?"

Shen Gu was speechless.This conclusion does not seem to be very happy...

"But if my mother is the reincarnation of Suqin, I can't be Zuo Mu's child, right? Is there a child born after more than ten years?" Is that a monster?

"No, no, no." Zhong Lecen's eyes lit up, "If grandma really had such a dream, if the woman she dreamed of was really Suqin, then Suqin is not a reincarnation, but a stolen life."

"drag on?"

"Yes. Lonely ghosts, possessing human beings to conceive, are called stealing lives. That is to say, after Suqin's death, she did not enter the gate of hell, but became a lonely ghost wandering in the world. It was not until she met her grandmother that she attached herself to her belly. This is called stealing birth, which is different from reincarnation. The child she conceived was not in her womb, but in her life. Simply put, it means that she was destined to have this child. In terms of blood, of course you It is Xiao——Xiao Yifan's child, but according to fate, even without Xiao Yifan, Suqin will have a child. This is her destiny. This child is brought to Xiao Yifan by her, not by Xiao Yifan. .”

Shen Gu suddenly realized: "No wonder Xiao Yifan has no other children, maybe he has no children in his life." Even he is in Suqin's life, not Xiao Yifan's.

"If you say that, it must be Zuo Mu who activated the formation. Why did he say that the Golden Wheel Curse is harmful to me?"

"Well, if he said that, then Suqin is undoubtedly reincarnated. Unlike reincarnation, reincarnation is still ghostly, and the children born also have half of the blood of ghost fetuses. The Golden Wheel Curse is an extremely rigid method. No way."

"What about Zuo Mu? He's using Xiao Qingfan's body now, so he should be considered an exile, right? Then he's also the upper body of a ghost. Isn't he afraid of the Golden Wheel Curse?"

"Although he is a dead soul, he is still alive. He is a living soul who is a dead soul. Unlike a dead soul, he is not afraid of the Golden Wheel Curse."

"Wait, so Zuo Mu didn't call me Suqin, but because he knew I was Suqin's child? But how did he know? Did he know that Suqin was secretly born into my grandmother's belly?" Shen Guyue The more awkward it is to say.If their guesses are correct, then Suqin is his mother, and Zuo Mu is his father... Well, what should I say.

"This can also be deduced. However, reincarnation is easy to know, but stealth is hard to calculate. As far as the people I know, there may only be a few elders of the Dongfang family who have this ability."

"But Zuo Mu's morality is so high? If his morality is so profound, why didn't he save Suqin by himself?"

Zhong Lecen thought about it: "I remember that he didn't have this kind of Taoism back then. In fact, he didn't learn much Taoism. His ambition was to build up military achievements and return home to marry Suqin. But he has been living with the method of nourishing yin. How many years has it been, even if he learns a little every day for so many years, his Taoism should be much higher than others."

"How many years has he lived?"

"This, how would I know?"

"When was the era you lived in, don't you know if you do the math?"

"...I, I don't know when that was?"

"I don't know what time you lived in?"

Zhong Lecen pouted: "I was dragged away by Luo Jing shortly after I came down from the mountain. In the end, I didn't know what year it was, and I didn't even know who the emperor was. It's just from the clothes - it probably wasn't Tang Dynasty. The Song Dynasty is the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, even if it is the Ming Dynasty, it has been many years now."

Shen Gu was speechless: "You really—"

"Really what?"

Shen Gu thought for a long time, and then remembered a word he heard from nowhere: "What a noob."

Zhong Lecen was angry: "Who is Xiaobai?"

"Aren't you called Shen Mobai in your previous life?"

Zhong Lecen had nothing to say, and turned his head angrily to express that he was going to leave in anger.Shen Gu quickly put his arms around his waist: "I haven't finished talking yet. If Xiao Qingfan is Zuo Mu now, what about Xiao Qingfan's soul?"

Zhong Lecen sighed: "Maybe...has disappeared. Two souls cannot exist in one body for a long time, one must be swallowed by the other. Now it seems that the one swallowed is undoubtedly Xiao Qingfan."

"Zuo Jian said that this kind of walking method violates the safety law of the celestial masters. If they encounter it, they will not ignore it."

"That depends on whether Xiao Qingfan's soul has been swallowed by Zuo Mu, and whether Zuo Mu's upper body was forced or Xiao Qingfan allowed it."

"How do you know that?"

"So be cautious in convicting."

"Is there anyone who is willing to let a ghost get on his body?"

"You forgot E Jun?"

Shen Gu's expression was distorted: "Do you think Zuo Mu and Xiao Qingfan have this kind of relationship too?"

"...It seems that there is too much age difference..."

"Le Cen, what are you talking about?" Zhong Yi finally moved his eyes away from the collapsed courtyard wall and looked at Zhong Le Cen and Shen Gu.

"It's nothing." Zhong Lecen didn't dare to tell the truth.Originally, Zhong Yi always said that Shen Gu was going to give up, but now it seems that half of Shen Gu's yin energy is due to ghosts. If Zhong Yi finds out, he will be even more unhappy, so it's better not to say, "We I was thinking, who would activate this formation, and Shen Gu wouldn't have to live here, right?"

"No need. The yin energy is exhausted, so why live? But I really want to get to know the person who activated the formation. It's a pity that I don't have enough time."

"What? Second Uncle, are you leaving?"

"Grandpa just called and told Dad to go back quickly because of something." Zhong Leyang explained, but Zhong Yi glared at him: "I didn't ask you! I came here directly after the year-end report meeting of the Tianshi industry. Go home, if you don’t go back, you will pass the third year of junior high school.”

"Oh." Zhong Lecen was a little sad.According to the rules of the Zhong family, one has to pay homage to the ancestral hall on the first day of the new year, and even if one has something to do and cannot go back, one must go back to pay homage before the third day of the junior high.Only him, who has not gone back for many years.

Zhong Yi glanced at Zhong Leyang: "You also follow me back."

Zhong Leyang took a breath: "Dad, even if I go back with you, nothing will change. I still like him."

"Here, you go back to the ancestral hall and say it."

"Second Uncle." Zhong Lecen was startled.Entering the ancestral hall is a big deal. When he came out, he ran away from home and didn't talk to the ancestral hall. "Second uncle, otherwise, let Le Yang stay for another two days, I, I will talk to him again. talk."

"Brother." Zhong Leyang said with a firm expression, "You don't need to say anything, I'll go back."

"Le Yang!" Zhong Lecen died of anxiety, "Don't be stubborn anymore, Konghua——Konghua won't be with you."

"How do you know?" Zhong Leyang's face changed suddenly, "Any news from Konghua?"

Zhong Lecen nodded helplessly: "Actually, Kong Hua has already returned. If he—you see, he hasn't contacted you until now, he should know..."

"Where is he? I want to see him."

"Le Yang—"

"Brother, let me meet him! If he says he's not interested in me, I'll believe it."

"...Okay, let me ask him if he would like to see you."
