After handing in the cub game

Such a slovenly Zhou Taotao is very different from the previous Zhou Zheng's cheerful appearance. Yan Jue almost didn't dare to recognize him when he saw it. Toss like this.

"Brother Yan."

Behind him, Zhang Zizhen popped up and greeted him with the same vicissitudes of face as Zhou Taotao.

"Come in and sit."

Yan Jue welcomed the two into the door, said something and then went to wash up first.When I came out to see, the two sat on the chairs obediently, staring at the two cubs on the quilt at the end of the bed.

Zhou Taotao, who knew the inside story, was novel and kind, while Zhang Zizhen clutched his chest in shock with an expression of being ready to take his breath away at any time.

Zhang Zizhen looked at Zhou Taotao with a calm face, then at Yan Jue who seemed nothing had happened, and finally broke the silence in the room tremblingly: "These two, are they the latest simulation toys?"

The fish tail and fox tail are very realistic, and they can move without any jerky feeling.

A clear and confused child's voice sounded like the sound of nature: "Imitation toys? Are you talking about us?"

Damn it, speak up!

Zhang Zizhen almost jumped up from the stool.

"Noel, Burning Wind, they are my colleagues." Yan Jue only introduced the identities of the two strangers to the two cubs, and then stopped under Zhang Zizhen's staring gaze. mean.

"Let's go after packing up." Zhou Taotao didn't say much, got up and said, "We'll talk about the details while eating on the road."

Yan Jue followed with his two cubs and fell behind Zhou Taotao.

Even if Noel comes to reality, he still needs to sleep for a long time according to the needs of his body.After being woken up just now, he saw that it would take some time before he could catch the monster, so he fell asleep again.

There were not enough items in the courtyard, so Yan Jue had no choice but to put the sleeping Nuoer in a glass lined with a paper towel and carry it away. He didn’t turn on the water because he didn’t have that confidence. Half a glass becomes empty.

Burning Wind stood on Yan Jue's shoulder, looked back at Zhang Zizhen who was staring at him, leaned close to Yan Jue's ear, and said in a low voice: "Teacher, I felt the aura fluctuation on the person behind him, he Already practicing?"

"Well, it's a bit complicated to say." Yan Jue's heart moved, and after a brief science study of the religious system in their world and the occupational scope of some capable people and strangers, he said: "Zhang Zi really practiced Taoism since he was a child, that's why he became a monk. When the spiritual energy is revived, he can smoothly draw the energy into the body. But he is not the same as the practitioners there."

"And strictly speaking, the exercises they have learned are not considered cultivation."

Burning Wind probably understood, and asked again: "After meeting so many people with the teacher, it's the first time I've seen someone with spiritual energy in his body. I won't talk about it, you are one, in the same bureau, why is he the only one practicing?" , you don’t have any?”

After finishing speaking, he said cautiously: "Isn't Teacher planning to practice?"

It can't be that the teacher can't learn, there is no talent, right?A little worry inevitably arose in Burning Wind's heart.The teacher still has to perform tasks, how can he just be an ordinary person with no power to restrain a chicken?How dangerous.

After understanding the implication of the burning wind, Yan Jue was quite helpless: "Before the spiritual energy recovered, the vast majority of people in our world thought that we were a technological world, and there was no strange force, so we have been engaged in They are all scientific works, and Zhang Zizhen is a minority."

Some people will believe it, but they just believe it, and they don't spend time in teaching and practicing. There are only a few who really give up all cultivation.

"After the spiritual energy is revived, even if ordinary people want to learn, it will be a long-term process. In the world of your cultivation, as long as you have exercises and spiritual roots, it is not difficult to draw the energy into the body, but they have to learn too much Well, ordinary people can't learn famous tricks in a few years."

It's not that you have stepped into practice if you recite all kinds of scriptures smoothly.

If there is no golden finger of the game, the country will definitely select talents to study in various sects regardless of the cost, and strive to occupy a place in the new world, but after having it, everything will be different.Since there is a way to obtain pure cultivation techniques, why do we have to take a detour?

Don't look at the fact that after the recovery of spiritual energy, it is those capable people who have taken advantage of it and seem to have become the leaders in the new world. I'm going to cry and beg.

Thinking of this, Yan Jue couldn't help chuckling, raised his head and rubbed the burning wind: "Teacher also wants to practice, but it's just not possible at the moment."

"why?"

Turning his head to look at Zhang Zizhen, who was eavesdropping on their speech, Yan Jue put it off: "I will tell you when there is no one else."

Zhuofeng also looked back, Zhang Zizhen smiled at him and waved vigorously, he paused, turned his head and looked forward, "Okay, teacher."

How silly, how did this person become colleagues with the teacher.

After getting out of the courtyard and getting into the car, the people who had already been waiting distributed buns and soy milk to them, and then started the car and rushed to Xitu Village.The driver also handed Yan Jue a plastic bag containing snacks, and pointed to the two in the cup and on his shoulders, not hiding his partiality at all.

While eating buns, Yan Jue listened to Zhou Taotao talk about the situation in the village.

"When I first came, the village set up an offering table in front of the ancestral hall due to the drought, and used cooked food or steamed buns or other general sacrificial items to worship. Since it was normal, we didn't care much after we came. We just kept watching to avoid Some people speculate, take the opportunity to cheat money or lure people into evil/teaching or something."

Zhou Taotao stuffed the steamed stuffed bun into his mouth, and said vaguely: "After staring at it for about half a month, the sacrificial activity in the village suddenly changed its place, and it became the grain drying field in the village, and the sacrifices on display also changed from familiar ones. It turned into bought raw meat, and after a few days, it changed from a piece of meat to a whole slaughtered animal."

"The sacrifices have changed, and the villagers have also started to talk about their gods and spirits, asking their ancestors to bless them when they have nothing to do. The wheat in the field has already been harvested, and the field is nothing serious, but they don't even go to the vegetable garden they planted. I don’t care, I don’t water them, I just let them dry in the sun, but I go to the grain drying ground or kneel in the ancestral hall all day long, praying to God and worshiping Buddha.”

Yan Jue was surprised: "So serious? I heard from Ju Pan that the village used to not go to the ancestral hall unless it was a festival, let alone set up an offering table in the village."

"Yes, according to our interviews, there are no superstitious people in Xitu Village. They are all pragmatic farmers. Every time the city goes to the countryside to do publicity, they respond positively."

Zhou Taotao frowned: "At first we suspected that someone was instigating it, but after searching and visiting the village for a long time, we didn't find anyone with strange whereabouts, and no one in the village talked about any sects we hadn't heard of, most of them were talking about our ancestors. , or a well-known god in the sky."

However, it is strange that all the staff suddenly become ignorant and superstitious people after talking about science and establishing a new style.

"Could it be that there is too much water shortage this year?" Yan Jue guessed, "Isn't there no water in the well, that's why the villagers took the lead?"

The incident was bizarre, and Yan Jue, who has always believed in science, subconsciously relied on science and psychology for the reason.

As soon as this was mentioned, Zhou Taotao shook his head bitterly and couldn't help sighing: "There is little rain in the northwest, but it's not that the desert doesn't rain all year round. There is still water in the wells in the village. The villagers can save water and eat it. Even if there is no The water is gone, and the city has countermeasures to prevent people from praying to gods and worshiping Buddha."

Rather than waiting for prayers to come in handy, it is better to wait for the country to arrange an artificial rainfall.

"In addition to the feudal superstition, the strangest thing is that I have stayed here for such a long time, and the weather forecast has warned of rain several times, but it has never rained." Zhou Taotao hit the point: "Sometimes the weather forecast still hangs. As a sign of rainfall, the sun is shining brightly in Xitu Village, and there is not even a dark cloud."

Yan Jue turned on the weather and took a look. The next month will be a little sun.

"Could it be that the weather forecast is inaccurate?" Zhang Zizhen answered, "The weather forecast is not [-]% accurate, and it is not uncommon for the weather to change temporarily."

He wandered around all day yesterday, but he couldn't find any evil aura in Xitu Village, not even a ghost aura. His self-confidence was already shaking, and he wanted to turn things into science.

"I'm not capable enough. Brother Zhou, if you don't believe me, it's only natural that you still have doubts. However, you must trust the talisman paper my grandfather gave me. It will definitely work. It's not a fake or shoddy product."

"I burned several places in the village yesterday, and I really didn't find any ghosts and ghosts, all of them are ordinary people." Zhang Zizhen said with a bitter face: "Supernatural means don't work, so is there a possibility, I mean possible Ah, does this matter belong to science?"

Makes sense.With two unscientific Yan Jue standing on his shoulders in his hand, he really wanted to nod and ask, did Zhou Taotao and the others think too much.

Zhou Taotao became anxious: "You can have your own doubts, but you can't insult my professional ethics!"

"Professional ethics?" Zhang Zizhen was at a loss: "Isn't our Special Administrative Bureau just in charge of supernatural events? But Brother Zhou, you can't feel aura at the moment. In comparison, don't you still have to rely on talisman paper to detect it? The problem is that talisman paper also detects it. not come out."

Zhou Taotao: "..."

Careless, forgot that they have now been removed from the scope of science.

"It's not important, what's important is that you listen carefully to what I just said." Zhou Taotao repeated: "Only Xitu Village has never rained. A few villages away, within the scope of another town, there is rain forecast. The weather is all down, only this area is not."

"And the villagers have become more and more talkative. Since the slaughter of livestock in the sacrificial ceremony, the villagers now kneel in front of the altar, refusing to move even a step, except for three meals a day and sleeping. I also know how big the sun is now, and there are several people who suffer from heat stroke every day. No matter how many times we rescue them, after they recover, they just don’t have a long memory and continue to kneel.”

"Those who engage in pyramid schemes and cults will promise benefits to others and package themselves more delicately. These villagers have never been in contact with anything. I don't know why they are so desperate all of a sudden." Zhou Taotao glanced at the thoughtful two. Person: "You say, is this science?"

Yan Jue and Zhang Zizhen shook their heads together.

Scorching Wind suddenly answered: "You mean, you can't find any external force?"

Zhou Taotao and Zhang Zizhen turned their heads and looked at the scorching wind on Yan Jue's shoulder that had been a quiet decoration since he got in the car.Yan Jue tilted his head and asked, "Have any opinions?"

"I don't dare to take it as an opinion, it's just a little guesswork."

Zhou Taotao's eyes lit up: "Shaofeng, please expand and talk about it."

Under the gaze of so many people, Burning Wind stomped on his paws unnaturally, overcame his nervousness, and said, "Being able to make people in a whole village suddenly go against their own behavior seems very likely to be used by someone. Manipulated by nightmares or illusions."

"Well, we have also thought about this possibility, but if we cast a spell, there will always be clues." Zhou Taotao looked at Zhang Zizhen: "Xiao Zhang didn't find anything."

Zhang Zizhen didn't care about talking about himself at all, he stared at Zhuofeng with burning eyes, and said excitedly: "Master Three-tailed Fox, is it because I'm too weak that I don't feel anything? Do you have any supernatural powers to investigate?" ? Can I follow you around?"

Burning Wind: "...Just call me Burning Wind."

He turned his eyes to Yan Jue for help, and Yan Jue, who received the signal, made a rescue in time: "The specifics will not be known until the scorching wind goes to Xitu Village for field investigation. Zhang Zizhen, what places did you go to yesterday? Tell me in detail. "

Zhang Zizhen, who has something to do, finally doesn't need to show his second speech.Burning Wind heaved a sigh of relief, lay down on Yan Jue's shoulders and closed his eyes to rest his mind, while blocking someone's intense gaze.

After arriving at the place, a large group of people got out of the car and headed towards the village.

Yan Jue approached Zhou Taotao and asked in a low voice, "Are all these people okay?" It was too blatant.

"It's okay." Zhou Taotao looked at the time for Yan Jue, "At this point, people in the village have already reported at the altar. As long as we avoid it, no one will care about us."

Yan Jue once again realized the seriousness of the matter.

He glanced at the scorching wind floating in front of him and looked around, and silently hoped that the matter could be resolved as soon as possible so that the people in the village would be less punished.

Scorching Wind drifted back to Yan Jue and shook his head at him: "I haven't sensed anything here. Teacher, can I go and see the villagers?"

Yan Jue looked at Zhou Taotao, and after the other party nodded, he carefully protected the teacup in his hand and followed him to the grain drying field.

The grain drying field is at the back of the village, backed by a large ridge of earth.During the busy season of farming, various crops are dried in the drying field. It is usually a place for villagers to play and relax. Therefore, there is a basketball hoop at one end of the field, and some fitness equipment on the edge.

At this time, there was a black high table in the middle of the grain drying field, with only an incense burner standing on it. In front of the table, a large piece of black dried blood and dead animals were neatly arranged in two rows. , and after that, there are villagers kneeling on the ground, bowing their heads and muttering silently.

The dark crowd didn't make a sound, it looked extremely weird and frightening.

Yan Jue and the others stopped to hide on the side of a house, and the scorching wind floated forward alone to approach the villagers, covering a person in the last row with spiritual power to investigate.

After a while, he turned back to Yan Jue, led the people a little farther and joined the large army, and said solemnly: "These people are trapped."

Zhang Zizhen's eyes widened, he ran back a few times and burned a yellow talisman, and when he ran back, his face was full of doubts: "What is so powerful, my grandpa's talisman doesn't work."

Burning Wind looked at his bag curiously: "What talisman, can you let me see it?"

Zhang Zizhen immediately took out a pair of hands and offered it.

Scorching Wind leaned over to take a look, and said, "Although I don't know the specific function of this talisman, the talisman does contain aura, so it's not useless."

Zhou Taotao was startled: "Could it be that the person who casts the spell has a higher level of cultivation than the head of Zhang?"

Head Zhang is currently known to be the highest cultivation person.

"No." Burning Wind denied again: "I can sense that the monster's cultivation is not high through the imprint on the villagers, so it's about the same as him."

Scorching Wind raised his paw and pointed at Zhang Zizhen: "You can't detect it because the monster didn't leave its mark on the villagers with magic at all, but with its own innate supernatural power. In other words, it doesn't need to do anything. , only appearing here, the imprint will be branded on ordinary people over time, and people will take the initiative to act according to its wishes."

Yan Jue asked: "Shaofeng, do you know what kind of monster it is?"

What kind of monster is so intelligent that it can even fully automate brainwashing.

Zhou Taotao next to him was full of nervousness, waiting for the answer from the scorching wind, no matter whether he could beat it or not, only knowing what species it was could give him a targeted solution.Zhang Zizhen heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately he was similar to him, he still had one more fight so that he could not be of any help.He didn't want to mess it up on his first mission with the Special Administration.

"I don't know." Burning Wind shook his head, "I've never encountered anything with the same breath as it. Teacher, what you have here is very different from what we have there."

Yan Jue slapped his forehead: "I was confused."

Zhou Taotao was not disappointed either, and carefully asked: "Then Burning Wind, can you feel where he is?"

Scorching Wind nodded, turned around and pointed to the dirt ridge behind the grain drying field: "There."
