Zhiguai

===============

Due to time constraints, Wu Fei handed the box to Yuan Sanpang after arriving at the town office, and asked him to observe whether the incense ash in the box had changed color again.

Wu Fei took the box. The incense ash inside was still a little black this time, but after such a long time, it was only a little darker, indicating that the curse had almost been removed.

Shen Xing switched to Lich's identity to confirm: "The curse above is gone."

Wu Fei nodded and opened the bamboo tube.

Inside the bamboo tube was a piece of yellowed cloth with words written in ink.

Wu Fei quickly browsed through it, and the content recorded on it is more like a local ghost story:

It is recorded in the above that this place was called Zhushan County in the past. Zhushan County was built next to the river. There were water monsters in the river. . Near the county seat, villages and villages are often devoured by this water monster.

People who are victimized by water monsters cannot escape even their souls, and are often tortured by it, or turned into ghosts—these pains and fears seem to have become the nourishment for this water monster.

Residents in the county and surrounding areas are in panic.

The water monster was too evil and cruel. Later, under some unknown guidance, people finally found a way to temporarily trap it, and saw its whole picture for the first time—

The description of this water monster is extremely terrifying, its body is like a skinned snake, but there is a humanoid face on its head. It is nearly 100 meters long and has four claws on its upper body. It swims like a water snake in the water. After landing, they crawl with their four claws, similar to giant salamanders and lizards.

People have never seen a water monster, and they don't know what it is or how to deal with it. They just find it terrifying and hard to look at.

People thought of many ways, but they couldn't completely kill the water monster. Cut off its head, and it could quickly grow a new head. Cutting off its body, his lower body can quickly grow back again.

And its severed tail immediately grew a new head and limbs, turning into a small black monster more like a giant salamander, and quickly fled back into the water.

People no longer dare to try casually, for fear that it will be self-defeating in the end.

In the end, the priests of the Zhu family who lived in Zhushanli and others thought of a way. They took the monster's seven-inch bone and its heart, refined it into a piece of ebony wood, pasted a red paper seal on it, and promised the little statue that as long as it was no longer a misfortune, they promised to worship it as a **** and build a temple for it , Make a human figure, let it enjoy offerings and worship every year.

Then cut off the head of the original monster, and buried it on the **** of Beishan together with the two heads that had been cut off before, and built temples and statues on it.

Then he cut off its tail and threw it under the cliff of Nanshan Mountain.

Its body was buried under the most prosperous block in the county, and it was trampled by thousands of people every day.

In the end, the priests of the Zhu family sealed the heart, the ebony that was refined from the seven-inch spine, and the cloth that recorded the past, and sealed it. The priests guarded it from generation to generation.

As a result, the monster was decapitated, and the original body was divided into four parts, each of which was suppressed, and could never be revived again.

Under such kindness and power, the monster did not make trouble again.

At the end of the cloth, there is another handwriting written in red ink——

Must not break the seal on the ebony;

That piece of ebony may retain the consciousness of a monster, no matter what it says, it must never obey;

Once an unpredictable and uncontrollable situation occurs, you can use this piece of cloth to wrap the ebony, temporarily trap the monster, and then try to find a solution.

On the back of the cloth, there are some totem-like patterns painted on it.

In order to save time, Wu Fei read very quickly, almost ten lines at a glance. After reading it, he couldn't help but sigh. The records here explained the origin of this monster very clearly.

Although the idea of ​​suppressing this monster at that time was good, it didn’t count that time has passed and everything has changed—Zhushan County has long been a barren relic; the priesthood of the Zhu clan has been cut off, and the ebony and The bamboo tube finally fell into the hands of Granny Ning, who was an enshrinement, and it was obviously not kept well.

No one seriously enshrines the temple anymore, and the temple has become a tourist attraction.

Of course, this **** has nothing to worship. Wu Fei does not support this kind of practice of paying tribute to villains, just asking them not to do evil. What's more, it is even more stupid to put this evil thing on the god's throne and worship it all the time, so that it actually has divine power.

The giant salamander they saw last night should have been transformed from the half body that escaped. Wu Fei suspected that the original monster could not gather together, so he attached part of his mind to the giant salamander.

This bamboo tube was finally buried at the bottom of the river with Grandma Ning, but the ebony that was with it, if Wu Fei guessed correctly, was taken away by Lao Lu without authorization, and he hid it in that locker .

"We have to find that ebony in the locker." Wu Fei said hesitantly.

He remembered what Captain Hong had relayed, the other team's judgment, and the Lich's actions to avoid being noticed by that monster.

"But I'm afraid that this will make the monster notice us. Judging from Old Lu's reaction and Sister Jin's description, the ebony itself may be conscious, and even carry most of the monster's consciousness."

"How did Lao Lu know the way to unlock the seal? How did he know how to make up six kinds of sacrifices to worship it? I guess this monster deliberately lured it, just like it deceived and lured sister Jin to go astray, to make a wish and sacrifice Like my sister."

"This ebony should be very important to it. If we touch that ebony, it may come to kill us directly."

At this moment, a staff member knocked on the door and said, "Inspector Shen, there is an emergency. Old Lu is missing."

Old Lu ran away.

There is no time to hesitate any longer, Old Lu might not do anything else. He looked at it just now, and now the "moment of impermanence" has only increased a little. If they miss today's opportunity, when they fall into the situation in the next six days, no one will be able to save them.

Wu Fei said decisively, "Brother Xing, let's go to the storage room."

"We may not be able to deal with this monster in the end, but we can still find a chance to wrap that piece of ebony with this piece of cloth. When the monster is trapped, we should have a chance to run out of the town."

Then he said to Yuan Sanpang: "Sanpang, you and Yuan Lao go to Lao Lu, you can ask Captain Hong and Captain Lan for help, keep an eye on Lao Lu, and don't let him do anything else. And tell them, if The town will change later, don’t hesitate, run out as soon as possible.”

After Wu Fei and Shen Xing asked the deputy head of logistics for the number and location of Lao Lu's locker, they hurried to the locker room.

Just like the last time they came here, there was no one in the entire two-story building.

Just as they were facing each other, a bloated figure quickly and sensitively rushed up from the stairs and appeared at the door of the storage room.

It was Lao Lu.

And behind him were Yuan Lao and Yuan Sanpang who were chasing after him.

Yuan Lao nodded to Wu Fei and said, "We saw the team member in Captain Hong's team and his contractor, and told him the news, and he will tell others. Later, after we found this old Lu, I just chased after it."

At this time, Lao Lu's eyes were bloodshot, his expression was crazy, and he said strangely to Wu Fei and Shen Xing: "Ha, are you also here to worship God?"

"I was the one who helped God recover his strength. I hold God's heart, and I can control God. Only I can control God. You can't, you can't..."

Shen Xing switched his identity as a puppet master.

The puppeteer was tired of his nonsense, and was not interested in how he found the ebony and why he wanted to revive the monster, so he directly shot a few strands of white silk thread from his fingers to wrap him around. His mouth was also sealed with silk thread.

Old Lu couldn't move or speak for a moment.

Yuan Lao and Yuan Sanpang, who were guarding the stairs, came over now.

They found Lao Lu's locker, which used a combination lock.

"Shall I ask for the password?" Yuan Lao asked.

"No need," Wu Fei said, "This kind of ordinary locker can be opened by Xingshen directly with a line."

After Yuan Sanpang thought for a while, he raised his hand and tried a password—0401.

It doesn't matter if they are wrong, they are ready to brute force anyway.

However, under the gaze of their eyes, the door of the locker popped open all of a sudden.

Wu Fei: "...how did you guess that?"

Yuan Sanpang: "Isn't this Xiaofang's birthday? It's not surprising that a father uses his daughter's birthday as his password."

Mr. Yuan stretched out his hand to open the door, only to see clothes and other miscellaneous things piled inside, and in the corner of the cabinet, there was an inconspicuous black box, and blood was constantly oozing out of that box...

Shen Xing stretched out his hand to Wu Fei, and Wu Fei realized that he wanted the piece of yellow cloth in his hand.

"Be careful." Wu Fei reminded as he handed over the yellow cloth.

Shen Xing stretched out his hand and shot out two thin white threads, and those two threads went straight into the lid on the top of the box, then he put the yellow cloth on the thread, moved his fingers slightly, and lifted up, the box lid was pulled open.

Inside lay an unremarkable piece of black ebony. But at this moment, it seemed to be soaked in blood.

The first time he saw it, Wu Fei felt as if he was being stared at by something terrifying and evil. That feeling was somewhat similar to when it was seen by the giant salamander, but it was more obvious and stronger than that.

But it was only for a moment, and the next second, the yellow cloth slid down and covered the piece of ebony.

The weird feeling seems to have disappeared.

Shen Xing stretched out his hand, picked up the piece of ebony through the cloth, and then wrapped it with a yellow cloth.

Immediately afterwards, the town shook violently as if it was about to collapse.
