Bu Tian Gang

This is the county seat, and the nearest office is the branch in Shencheng. It takes a few hours to drive, and everyone is in a mess. They can only find a nearby farmhouse to rest for a while before going back.

But Liu Qingbo discovered a very important problem: they forgot to bring money, and their mobile phones were left on the shore because they were about to go into the water.

At this time, Dongzhi contributed his own pockets, and said weakly: "There seems to be a little cash in it. Looking through it, it should be enough for the boss to let us take a bath and have a meal."

Liu Qingbo:  …

As the Winter Solstice said, the pocket is really small, with limited space, and there are only a few hundred dollars in cash left in it.

As a result, the owner of the farmhouse saw that they were carrying swords and vomiting blood, and did not dare to take them in. Liu Qingbo had no choice but to call Tang Jing. Tang Jing notified the relevant local authorities. Finally, a police car arrived and took them away. Pull away.

It took a long time for everyone to finally return to Shencheng. Except for Long Shen, all of them were exhausted. The car carried him to the hospital again, along with Liu Qingbo and Huo Jie, both of whom were injured in different degrees, and were both arranged to be admitted to the hospital for examination.

After all this was settled, Long Shen and Tang Jing went back to the branch together, and joined Song Zhicun, who had been waiting there for a long time.

"How are they?"

Song Zhicun greeted him and asked that he received the news early in the morning, and then Tang Jing went to pick him up. He sat in the branch and waited while arranging the security work related to the international conference in the near future. Seeing that Long Shen returned unscathed, finally Breathe a sigh of relief.

Long Shen briefly explained the matter.

Song Zhicun held Long Shen's hand and shook it vigorously, "Long Ju, it's really hard for you!"

He knew that after Long Shen said a few words, it sounded unremarkable, but in fact, this journey must be full of dangers. If Director Jiang, who didn't know how to do it, was here, he might really think that Long Shen and the others would triumph easily.

"It's not easy for you to perform your duties." Long Shen patted his shoulder.

The three sat down separately.

Long Shen also talked about the information about the stone tablet in Wuzhiqi's mouth, and finally said: "Tang Jing told me the clues provided by Mingxian before his death. Both of them can be matched, indicating that the information should be correct."

Hearing the word "dying", Tang Jing's face changed slightly, and the hand on the table slowly tightened, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Long and Song's attention was not on him, Song Zhicun frowned: "The Kunlun Mountains range is so wide, it's hard to find an array of eyes!"

Long Shen: "When I look back, I'll tell the Northwest Branch first, and ask them to start a search operation. You can also pay attention to the movement in the Toyo side recently. We know that Otowa Yuhiko may not know about it."

Song Zhicun nodded, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, speaking of Yinyu, we have already found out his true identity, but it may sound a bit bizarre. Bureau Tang, tell me."

Tang Jing packed up her mood and said solemnly, "According to what Mingxian said, Asaka Jiuyan, we found a person."

He pressed the remote control in his hand, and a black and white photo appeared on a large screen on the wall.

"Asaka Hatohiko, born in 1887, the Japanese royal family, the uncle of Emperor Hirohito, because of the title of Asaka Palace, he is known as the Asaka Palace Hatohiko King, and he was an army general during World War II," Tang Jing's tone paused slightly, "I also ordered the Nanjing The culprit of the Holocaust."

"But after the war, he was not sent to a military court. Due to the cover up of the United States, the entire royal family was able to escape the guilt. Asaka Hatohiko was only deprived of the royal status, and he still retained his wealth status until he was ninety-four years old. End of life."

"We have checked that the Otowa Consortium emerged after World War II and started with the military industry. Generally, this industry has a political and economic background behind it, but the Otowa Consortium seems to have risen out of thin air, and Otowa Hatohiko also seems to have emerged out of nowhere. People, but if Asaka Hatohiko secretly prepared in advance in another identity, it would make sense."

"After the Song Bureau discussed with me, they all thought that Otowa Yuhiko might have accidentally learned the secret of obtaining demonic energy. With the help of Japanese onmyoji and priests, he successfully transformed demons, so he was able to live forever. When he was old, he died as Kazuhiko Asaka, and he continued to live with the identity of Katohiko Otowa who had already prepared."

The amount of information is so huge that even Long Shen needs a moment of silent contemplation.

"Any more?"

"Yes." Tang Jing said, "Mingxian's real body is a gold and silver flat qin, which is a Japanese national treasure. If it were someone else, it would definitely not be easily taken by Otowa Yuhiko, but since he is a royal family, he wants to get these resources. Naturally, it is much easier than others. From the fact that he has been able to send Fujikawa Aoi and other Onmyoji to China many times, those priests and Onmyoji have a deeper relationship with him than we thought."

Song Zhicun added in a heavy tone: "I have informed Bureau Wu about Dong Jilan's matter. His soul—"

Thinking of the torture Dong Jilan might have been subjected to during his lifetime, Song Zhicun was at a loss for words, and even someone like him who has worked for many years has to endure his grief and anger before he can continue: "Since his soul has been merged into Mingxian by Yinyu The soul of his soul, the ashes must have been left long ago, what Bureau Wu said, the posthumous recognition of the martyrs and the memorial service, he will just do it."

"Okay." Long Shen had no objection.

When the meeting came to an end, Song Zhicun was busy contacting the General Administration to arrange various aftermath matters. He got up and was about to leave, but Long Shen stopped him.

"Song Bureau, ten days later, the international conference is over. I won't go back to the capital first, but I will take the winter solstice to Hainan."

Song Zhicun was startled: "What?"

Long Shen said: "The winter solstice is about to bow down. It may be related to the matter of returning to Han Qi last time. I will take him to visit Chi's house to see if there is any way to surrender."

He is just such an apprentice, although his face is not obvious, how can Song Zhicun not know his attitude, he immediately said happily: "You just go, there are me and Wu Bureau at the General Bureau!"

After thinking about it for a while, he comforted him again: "This child is very lucky on the winter solstice, I don't think anything will happen."

Long Shen nodded to express his gratitude.

After Song Zhicun left, Long Shen looked at Tang Jing who was obviously depressed.

"Are you OK?"

Tang Jing smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, the Dragon Bureau left me alone, is there anything else to explain?"

Long Shen said: "Before we came out of Zhiqijing, we broke the iron net that closed the well. When you come back, you have to have it re-welded to prevent tourists from falling into the well."

Tang Jing: "Sure, I understand."

He really didn't have the mood to discuss any further, he put his hands on the table and got up slowly, but he couldn't help being physically and mentally tired, and he sighed inadvertently.

"You, are you following Mingxian..."

Long Shen hesitated for a moment, because with his temperament, it was impossible to ask other people's private affairs. Although Mingxian was the spirit of Yinyu Jiuyan, he was dead now. Jing has no dereliction of duty, and no one can accuse him of dealing with Mingxian's problems.

As soon as the words came out, Long Shen suddenly realized that he might be selfish in asking this question.

Tang Jing didn't notice his selfishness. All kinds of emotions rushed into his heart, and he was scrambling to get ahead. It was already piled up like a mountain, crumbling, and desperately needed a channel to vent. Long Shen's question just opened the gap where his fragile shape would collapse.

"I thought we were all playing on the scene, and I wasn't human, nor was he human. Don't you think it's funny when a mirror falls in love with a piano? But when he died, I cried." Tang Jing murmured, as if asking him, but also asking himself.

Long Shen was silent.

He knew that the other party didn't need his own answer.

"If he has nothing to do with Otowa Yuhiko, maybe it is possible. From the beginning, we are not pure, love or not love, there is no way to talk about it."

Tang Jing closed her eyes, as if she wanted to laugh at herself, but couldn't smile, the corners of her mouth were forced, but her eyes were red.

"Actually, I just realized now that after living for so long, it's so rare to suddenly meet someone who can see through my origins and be in harmony with me in bed and under the bed. It turns out that I will be lonely and uncomfortable. Long Ju, will you? ?"

Will he?

Long thought deeply.

He never stopped for anyone or anything before, but now, he has an apprentice who walks slowly on the winter solstice, but works hard.

The two sides were thinking about each other, and the conversation naturally did not go on.

Tang Jing said: "As soon as the matter is over, I want to take a long vacation and have a good rest."

Long Shen nodded: "Submit a leave report at that time, but if there is an emergency, you still have to report back at any time."

Tang Jing smiled: "Naturally, it's my duty to do my duty. Dragon Bureau, if you want to deal with Otoyu Jiuyan in the future, even if you want to go to Japan to kill him, I will be counted among them."

Long Shen stared at him for a moment: "Yes."

After coming out of the precinct, Long Shen returned to the hospital.

He went to see Liu Qingbo and Huo Jie first. The trauma of the two had been properly dealt with. As for the internal injury, he could only take care of it slowly. Long Shen had already asked the General Administration for the Shangqing Pill, which should be delivered in a few days.

After a long and thrilling battle, everyone needs to rest. When Long Shen passed by, Liu Qingbo and Huo Jie were asleep, and the winter solstice was no exception. This hospital is a public security hospital, and the Special Administration Bureau is also attached to it. The three of them were injured on the job, so they were all assigned to separate wards, as well as a small living room and a separate bathroom. The conditions are not bad. Rao is the temper of the young master Liu Qingbo. Can't pick out any dissatisfaction.

Long Shen sat in the ward of the winter solstice for a while, not moving, but he was still thinking about many things in his mind, including the descending of the winter solstice, Otowa Hatohiko, Bobei Ye, stone monuments, thousands of threads, all came in one after another. .

Now that there has been a major breakthrough and progress in the clues of the stone tablet, the direction of the search in various places should also be changed, and it must be ahead of Otowa.

In the era of the end of the law, monsters have been resurrected one after another. In addition to Otowa Hatohiko and Bobi Ye, a lot of things must have happened in the West recently. Maybe they should strengthen intelligence exchanges with there, just to take advantage of the opportunity of the World Exchange Conference.

There is also the upcoming international conference. Otowa Yuhiko returned this time, and also damaged the Mingxian Chengyuan one after another. He will definitely not let it go, and we must strengthen our precautions. I will discuss it with Song Zhicun and Tang Jing...

Maybe the surrounding environment was too quiet, and he was infected by the sweet sleep of the winter solstice. Maybe Long Shen was a little tired, and all his thoughts gradually faded away, just like the dark scene at the end of the movie. Into the deep pool of dreams.

The winter solstice blinked several times, looked at the snow-white ceiling above his head, and listened to the cheerful chirping of birds hopping up and down the branches outside the window, and finally made sure that he was lying on the hospital bed, not in a dark underwater cave. .

The pain from exhaustion came from the limbs, and the arm had already been given medicine, but the back of the hand was a little tingling. He saw a bottle of glucose hanging by his bed, and he was almost finished, so he pulled out the needle and sat up. Except for a little dizziness, I didn't feel any obvious discomfort.

If Long Shen hadn't said it, he would never have thought that he had a head down on his body.

The room was very quiet, so quiet that he turned his head to the other side, only to see Long Shen sleeping on the sofa.

In the impression of the winter solstice, Long Shen has always had little rest, and seems to be always energetic. When fighting hard in Yinchuan and everyone was showing signs of fatigue, Long Shen was still in good spirits. He once thought that Long Shen might have slept for too long before he changed shape, so he didn't need to sleep after he became an essence, but he only dared to think about this cold joke in his heart. Now that he saw Long Shen sleeping, he finally felt a little bit more The master also needs a sense of authenticity in rest.

He picked up the blanket beside the bed and wanted to get out of bed and put on shoes, but suddenly changed his mind, went down to the ground barefoot, walked over silently, and gently covered Long Shen with the blanket.

Unexpectedly, Long Shen was alert to Ruo Si, and he woke up almost as soon as he approached.

The winter solstice action stopped in mid-air, so I had to explain: "I'm afraid you catch a cold."

Long Shen sat up straight, nodded, took his blanket, but didn't cover it, just put it aside.

"Master, will you sleep again?"

"No, I also slept all night." Long Shen glanced at his feet, "Why don't you wear shoes?"

Winter Solstice smiled awkwardly: "I was just afraid to wake you up."

Still woke up.

"I'll take a look at your body." Long Shen said.

Rao is that there is heating in the room, and it is indeed a little cold with bare feet. He sat on the sofa cross-legged on the winter solstice, and Long Shen put the blanket in his arms and gave him a pulse.

Winter Solstice looked at it carefully, and found that Long Shen's expression did not change much. He couldn't tell from the other person's face whether he was suffering from a terminal illness and no cure, or a minor problem.

"Master, is my bowing serious?" he asked tentatively.

Long Shen said: "I can feel that there is a force in your body that does not match your body, but for the specific situation, you have to go to Chi's house and ask Chi's house to help you see. I don't know much about head down."

Interlaced like a mountain, the winter solstice nodded clearly.

Long Shen asked, "How are you feeling now?"

Winter Solstice said honestly: "It's okay."

It's really good. Those mouthfuls of black blood were like hallucinations, and he didn't even feel any residual blood in his mouth.

"Master, are you all done? How are you preparing for the international conference?" For the first time after the reunion, he was alone with Long Shen, and he didn't know how to get along with Long Shen. .

Seeing that Long Shen didn't answer, he thought it was because he had inquired too much and went beyond the scope of his authority, so he hurriedly apologized.

Long Shen shook his head. In fact, he was just thinking about the winter solstice, and suddenly fell into a trance.

"The meeting will end at the end of this month. We will go to Hainan at that time. Before that, you should rest more."

The winter solstice quickly reacted: "Chi's home?"

Long Shen nodded: "The Chi family is the only family of descendants in the country. Chi Banxia's father is an excellent descendant. We also considered recruiting him to the Special Administration Bureau before."

The Winter Solstice was a little curious, so he asked, "Is he not willing to do it later?"

Long Shen: "At that time, the former director of Zhang Xiankun valued his background and believed that head-dropping and witchcraft were crooked ways. Chi Banxia's father was young and arrogant at the time, and he couldn't bear it, so he walked away, threatening that he would never be a special administrator again in his life. Bureau."

The winter solstice is quite surprising. I remember Chi Banxia as a sweet and lively little girl. I didn't expect her father's temper to be so hot.

Then again, Chi Banxia is now working in the Special Administration Bureau. Even if her father is looking at his daughter's face, he will not shut them out. The winter solstice just has a vague feeling that his head down may be. Not so easy to understand.

Long Shen must have understood this, so he deliberately mentioned the Chi family and gave him a reassurance.

The deeper the acquaintance, the more the winter solstice can feel the care below his indifference.

"Master, I'm sorry, I made you worry. You didn't need to spend all these troubles, and now you have to take up your time for my private affairs."

"You were injured on business, so it's not a personal matter." After saying this, seeing the other party's astonishment, Long Shen added, "I have annual leave, and I haven't been to Hainan for a long time, so I just went for a walk."

Hearing the words of the Winter Solstice, he was relieved, and joked: "There are quite a few good sea-view hotels in Sanya, as well as infinity swimming pools. If I ask you to stay for a few days, it will be a vacation for our master and apprentice?"

He just said it casually, and he never thought that the other party would agree, but Long Shen thought about it and nodded.

"it is good."

The winter solstice was stunned for a moment, and then uncontrollably emerged the scene of Long Shen swimming breaststroke in the water with an expressionless face.

No, stop, think about it again, his master's fame will be wasted in his brain supplement!

The days of recuperation are nothing more than the same thing. Eat when you wake up, go back to sleep after eating, occasionally visit Liu Qingbo and Huo Jie next door, and more often lie in bed on the winter solstice, as if to make up for the vitality of the past few days.

Long Shen is very busy every day, especially when the international conference is approaching. Although Song Zhicun and Tang Jing are present, he is also indispensable. On the winter solstice, he saw the news introduction of the international conference on the TV screen, setting a record for the participating countries in the conference over the years. , the leaders of many countries met Yunyun smoothly, and they couldn't help thinking how much effort Long Shen and others put in silently behind the scenes.

But no matter how busy Long Shen is, he will always go to the hospital to see the winter solstice. He can see him almost every other day, and he spends a lot of time here every time.

During the winter solstice, he vomited black blood twice again, but in addition, his body did not weaken further, nor did he suddenly open up the eight extraordinary meridians, and he became not bad, just sleepy, and the biological clock changed from the original daily Eight hours of sleep, gradually extended to about ten hours, but this doesn't mean anything. When he went to school before the winter solstice, he knew that some of his classmates would like to stay in bed twenty-four hours a day when winter arrives.

On the other hand, the Winter Solstice learned that, in order not to scare the snakes, the search for the stone tablets like headless flies in various places continued, but the General Administration had secretly ordered the search to focus on the dragon veins.

There are many large and small dragon veins in the south. First, the Qinhuai River area includes Jinling, which is consistent with the direction He Yu and the others were looking for before, and now they can narrow the scope even more. First, the Yangcheng area, although it has been a land of barbarians since ancient times , but the dragon vein is not determined by the absence of the emperor, it is barely a small dragon vein; it extends westward, enters the Bashu area, and radiates around Chengdu, including Mount Emei and Mount Qingcheng, are included in the search scope. In this way, He Yukan Chaosheng's workload has greatly increased.

In order to avoid them worrying, Dongzhi did not mention to them that he might drop his head, but He Yuyou heard about it from Longshen, and gave Dongzhi a lot of messy ideas, and even Kan Chaosheng called. On the phone, he said that if he needed, he could provide a piece of Jiao scale. The winter solstice heard concern from his arrogant and reluctant tone, and his heart was moved, so he accidentally lost his wallet and promised three boxes of snacks. The most willing unequal treaties.

The calm and lively days were not all smooth sailing. There was bad news from the Northwest Branch. According to the "Shaohua Travel Map" provided by the previous Winter Solstice and Liu Qingbo, the Northwest Branch searched and searched around Shaohua Mountain, with great effort and setbacks. , and finally found the location of the stele at the foot of Shaohua Mountain, but when they dug three feet into the ground and dug out the stele, they found that the most unexpected situation had happened.

The stone tablet was broken, and it was completely broken, and it could not be restored at all, but even if it was restored, the formation method here would have failed, and according to the comparative study of the soil composition around the stone tablet, people from the Northwest Branch found that the soil around the stone tablet had been around for hundreds of years. It has never been passive, that is to say, the stone tablet may have been damaged hundreds of years after the painting, and the murderer is naturally impossible to find. Maybe it has something to do with monsters, or it may be an unintentional destruction by ordinary people.

However, the Northwest Branch was looking through the local county annals ancient books in Hua County, where Shaohua Mountain is located, and they really let them find a clue that may be related to this.

In 1556, the most serious earthquake recorded in the Ming Dynasty and even the world so far occurred in 1556, a few decades after the painting of Shaohua's Journey, and the death toll was as high as 800,000. The local county annals recorded that the earthquake happened at midnight, and some people saw the area around Shaohua Mountain as bright as day, mixed with red light, like the rising sun, and the day and night were reversed. move.

Of course, this discovery may not necessarily explain anything. After all, according to the ancients, whenever there is any natural disaster or man-made disaster, there will always be a vision that shows that God is sensing, whether it is true or false, and there is no consensus.

But this matter is not without harvest, at least eight stone tablets, four of which are known so far, one less Shaohua Mountain, which means that they only need to find the remaining four stone tablets.

Only at this time did the winter solstice realize the trouble brought about by the lowering of the head, like Liu Qingbo and Huo Jie, although they are still lying in the hospital at the moment, resting in the name of recuperating, but if there is no accident, they will soon be able to return to At work, and for him, this time may be longer - before he knew it, he had become accustomed to the thrilling days of running around, painting was a lifelong hobby, and in the Special Administration Bureau, he found Ideals and dreams worthy of his constant pursuit, there are a group of companions with different personalities, friends who deserve to be entrusted with life and death, and people he likes and respects the most.

Long Shen was not idle either. He sent an email to the White Pao Descendants Association in Southeast Asia to inquire about the situation of the Winter Solstice, and he quickly got a reply.

The person who replied to him was a very famous descendant in Thailand, who was also the vice-chairman of the association. His name was Xinchai. He was said to be one of the royal descendants. Xinchai told Long Shen that since he did not meet the Winter Solstice in person, he did not dare to make a light conclusion, but according to the description, it is very likely that the Winter Solstice was a drop head, and it was the head lowered by the black-robed head-turner.

There are thousands of types of head-turning in the world, and there are many head-turning techniques created by head-turning masters themselves. There is cause and effect in the world, and head-turning is no exception. Head-turning harms people, and those who harm others will also encounter backlash, and those who are serious will also lose their lives. The head-turning master, the shot must be taken to kill people, and he will use a substitute to eliminate the backlash of the head-turning technique on himself, so he can continue to do whatever he wants, and even deliberately grab people and then do not kill them. Die with resentment, and then refine the resentful soul into a head down, the middle one cannot be resolved.

The email from this master of letter guessing ended with a meaningful sentence: I have traveled all over the world over the years and have seen countless bizarre things. Dragon, my dear friend, you can never imagine how vicious human beings can be. Good luck to your disciple.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the implication was that even if he saw the winter solstice with his own eyes, he might be helpless when he lowered his head on the winter solstice.

If even the master-level figure of the head-dropping technique such as Xingua said this, is it necessary to go to the Chi family in Hainan?
