At night, the moon and stars are thin.

On the banks of the peaceful 'Goddess Lake', there was a young woman in a sarong that reached to her ankles, walking from the fine sand towards the surface of the lake.

While pacing, she threw the black and white chess pieces with distinct grains behind her and at her side, and when viewed from above, she showed a mysterious arc array.

Sitting in the car in the distance, the young man looking out the window tried his best to widen his eyes:

"Boss, do you think there really are 'spiritual things' in the 'Goddess Lake'?"

Ge Liaochan in the back row said: "Since Sangsang said there is, there must be."

Immediately, the team members of several branches looked yearning and excited: "Oh, if Director Gu said that the 'spiritual thing' hides from the world all the year round, too many people would probably offend it. I really want to go over and watch."

"Who says it's not? I've never even become a spirit in my life, and I've never seen an animal spirit that can take shape, let alone a 'spiritual thing'..."

Just as several members of the spirit group were chatting one after another, a loud noise suddenly erupted from the distant lake, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

I saw that the 'Goddess Lake', which was still very calm, was like a grenade thrown in. The water waves surged and blew, and the skirts of the slender women on the shore were blown up.

"Damn it?! Was a 'spiritual thing' born?"

"Where is it? Why didn't I see anything?!"

According to the information collected by Ge Liaochan and other members of the local spiritual group, those fishermen who have witnessed the "river god" in the water say that the "river god" is very large.

Some say it is a huge fish-shaped creature that can ride the wind and waves;

Some also say that the "river god" is a giant snake more than 20 meters long, and it is about to cultivate into a dragon.

In short, it is mysterious and mysterious.

Although Gu Zhisang was skeptical about these exaggerated folk rumors, she still set up a trick on the lake before opening the altar.

Under the cover of blindness, no matter what happened on the "Goddess Lake" or how much movement there was, the people on the shore and in the tall buildings in the distance would not be able to notice it.

It was set up casually, but I didn't expect it to come in handy.

At this time, Gu Zhisang was standing in the center of the formation, with a strange expression on his face, looking at the 'spiritual creature' who was summoned from the water and made such a big noise with a little surprise.

Silver-blue scales wrapped the curved body, and the scales shone like water waves under the moonlight.

With short purses and long tails, twin pupils and double pupils, the "spiritual objects" at first sight are indeed full of mystery and holiness—

The premise is to ignore it until it reaches a small height above Gu Zhisang's knees.

Because it is too short and pocket-sized, a series of amazing golden pupils and gorgeous tail fins on its body are not as eye-catching as its slightly short and round body shape.

"Shan Hai Jing" once recorded that the auspicious beast in the water, the ray, has a sound like a warbler's cry and has colorful fins.

The spiritual creature in front of him that was summoned by Gu Zhisang had the shadow of the Rui Beast Wen Ray.

After being summoned, the 'spiritual thing' raised its hair and let out a clear chirp.

The formation formed by Gu Zhisang was recorded in the ancient Xuanmen period.

In that era when humans and immortals still existed and all creatures were thriving, the formation master took into account the differences in species when creating the summoning formation, and the built-in semantic conversion was very understanding.

It's just that with the decline of the way of heaven and the decline of Xuanmen, the 'spiritual creatures' in the world have even disappeared.

One is that there is no need for this, and the other is that the ancient formation is too difficult, so modern and modern formation masters have changed the summoning spell again and again, making it more and more simple.

Now the summoning circle circulating in the metaphysical world can only summon some ghosts and ghosts.

The "spiritual creature" in the formation raised its double pupils: "Who are you, even a mere mortal would dare to disturb you."

Gu Zhisang raised his eyebrows slightly.

Wen Zou Zou's is still a small antique 'spiritual thing'.

Little did they know that it was this 'spiritual creature' who felt the surging energy of the summoning array, and at the same time felt the remnant breath of the afternoon sky thunder on the person who set up the array;

Can't help but make it a little curious, how can there be such a master with all-powerful means in the world today.

If it weren't for this, it wouldn't show up at all based on its arrogance.

Gu Zhisang euphemistically narrated the matter of the corpse in the water, and before she could finish, the silver-scaled double-eyed "spiritual creature" slapped the sand with its tail fin angrily, with a bad tone:

"I know that the dead body smells so bad, it's extremely vicious, disturbing my habitat, a group of chaotic evil spirits are running around, and the food is smelly and rotten, it's hard to swallow, it's too deceiving!"

It looked at Gu Zhisang, "Are you with that dead thing?"

"No, please don't misunderstand."

Gu Zhisang recounted Liu Chunxin's tragic experience, and said sincerely:

"It was not its original intention to be trapped in the 'Goddess Lake'. It was also murdered by villains, and it would suffer from heart-piercing pain day and night. I want to leave the bottom of the lake."

"I wonder if I can ask you to help me send it out of the water?"

After listening to her explanation, and thinking that the fish and shrimps in the lake had not smelled so bad these two days, the anger of the 'spiritual creature' calmed down a little.

But when Gu Zhisang asked him to touch the dirty and smelly corpse at the bottom of the lake, he was a little disgusted and reluctant.

Just when the 'spiritual creature' was hesitating in refusing to touch the rotting corpse, and sending the guy who occupied the magpie's nest away as soon as possible, Gu Zhisang suddenly said:

"I see that your caudal fin has old wounds, and there is also some rotten air and indigestible filth stagnating in your belly, why don't I help you get rid of these things first."

Without waiting for the 'spiritual thing' to refuse, she squatted down, and her slender white palm directly touched the smooth, silver and sparkling back of the 'spiritual thing'.

The scales of the auspicious animal, which has been practiced for nearly a thousand years, feel very good, smoother and smoother than the best precious jade.

Its already quite large golden pupils stared round, with an angry and unbelievable look, "You mortals, how dare, how dare..."

After being stroked twice, Ruishou's eyes narrowed, and his arrogance suddenly dropped.

What kind of terrible method is this?

This person is really capable, and his depth is bottomless!

Gently caressing twice, it will make the 'spiritual creature' become inert, and it is difficult to develop a heart of resistance! ?

Slowly the arc of the body grows and the soft auspicious animal stands upright, completely relaxing its body, its short claws spread out and its thin flesh is comfortable, like a cat or a fish.

It let Gu Zhisang stroke its beautiful and radiant tail fin, and occasionally let out two chirping sounds.

Gu Zhisang glanced at the auspicious animal that was spread into a beast cake, and his eyes fell on its complicated and gorgeous tail fin.

There was a rather long scar in the flesh there, and a winding wire could be vaguely seen growing together with the flesh and blood of the tail fin of Rui Beast.

In just a few minutes, Gu Zhisang had figured out the details of this spirit in the lake.

Looking at the profoundness of Taoism, apart from being able to bless the abundant and rich aquatic products of the "Goddess Lake", the actual ability is very average.

Its scales look hard, but they can be easily pierced by the iron hooks of fishing boats. It is a fragile 'spiritual creature' that cannot be solved by itself after being injured by human fishing gear.

Of course, it is also related to the fact that its claws are too short to reach the wound on the tail.

"Be patient."

Gu Zhisang's tone was calm, but his fingertips directly pinched the bulge of the iron net that had grown together with the tail fin, and he pulled out the net with force, causing the beast to be so painful that it was like a fish being pressed on the chopping board, and it almost fell apart. bouncing up.

It instantly gathered mist in its double pupils, looked at the wound on its tail, and then looked at Gu Zhisang with a little more fear in its eyes, as if looking at a cold-blooded butcher.

Soon Gu Zhisang used his own soul power to nourish the wound, and it felt that the pain was not so painful, but a little grateful in his heart.

The tail wound was decades old.

At that time, the city's main source of income was fishing. The fishermen by the lake fished wildly. Several times it sank to sleep at the bottom of the lake, and was almost caught up by the fishermen's nets.

At that time, it was still a 'silly white sweet' and didn't know there were such things as fishing nets and bait. When it saw pieces of fresh and sweet meat hanging on the sharp fishing hooks, it ate them. As a result, its tail was injured and it got stuck in the net.

When it struggled desperately to break through the fishing net, its tail was cut deeply by a broken wire, and it got stuck in the flesh, beyond the reach of its short claws.

There is only one way to get the wire out, and that is to grow bigger and force the wire to bleed, but it is timid and extremely afraid of pain, so it did not dare to do so.

Later, the wire grew together with the tail, and it never changed its shape again.

The young mysterious master in front of him looked ruthless, but he was actually helping it.

After being rubbed by Gu Zhisang's energetic palm on his resilient belly, Ruishou could only feel the filth in his stomach surging.

Its stomach contracted twice, and when it saw its body, which was only the size of a basketball, it went 'wow', and spit out a lot of bad-smelling stuff, which was many times larger than its body, like a small mountain of garbage.

Limp plastic bottles, bags, tattered clothes that can't be digested, half-rotten slippers, and even several children's toys...

It is all industrial waste left by humans by the lake.

A cloud of dark gas evaporated and dissipated in the air.

Ruishou was overwhelmed with shame and indignation, feeling ashamed.

These things are things that it thought could be eaten when it was wandering in the lake before, but it couldn't be digested at all. It was somewhat uncomfortable to pile up in the stomach for many years, but it couldn't spit it out either.

Anyway, it doesn't have much impact on it, so it doesn't care.

As for the filth, it is the rotten gas produced by the garbage, some of the yin and resentment absorbed by it.

After all these filthy things were removed, Ruishou felt as if he was born again.

It coyly said 'thank you' to Gu Zhisang.

Gu Zhisang said again: "If you help bring Liu Chunxin's body up, the Lingzu will prepare a rich tribute for you, including fresh meat such as cattle and sheep."

Hearing the tribute, Rui Beast's double pupils lit up completely, and with a flick of its scaled tail, it 'reluctantly' agreed to Gu Zhisang's request and went to collect the corpse underwater.

After Ruishou re-entered the water, Gu Zhisang called Gel Liaochan and asked her to prepare a tribute.

Hearing this, Ge Liaochan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I'll ask someone to prepare it right away."

A few minutes later, there seemed to be waves under the silent and calm lake.

The moonlight shone on the lake, vaguely outlining a huge shadow under the lake.

With a length of more than ten meters and a width of several meters, the dull and ethereal crooning shook under the water.

Gu Zhisang seemed to have sensed something, raised his head and looked at the lake.

It turned out that those old fishermen who witnessed it were really not lying.

There is really a huge creature in the water, but because of an injury decades ago, it never showed its original shape again.

Ge Liaochan arranged for people to go to a nearby farm overnight to pull two trucks of fresh livestock that had just been processed and were about to be put into the wholesale market in the early morning, and parked the truck on the shore.

After the others walked away, another silver, chubby head popped out from the water on the shore, blinking its double pupils and staring at the two cars, "Is it a tribute from Yu?"

Gu Zhisang nodded.

She didn't ask about Liu Chunxin's body, because she had already seen the body floating quietly in the middle of the lake.

When she lowered her head, she saw that Ruishou's two sharp claws were injured.

You must know that its underwater prototype is far less compact and fragile than it is now, which is enough to show that it was not easy just now.

It licked its paws, held a piece of fresh meat indifferently, and opened its mouth full of sharp teeth to gnaw contentedly.

The reason why he used these domestic animals to lure it was because Gu Zhisang had a flash of inspiration, thinking that the aunt who also disappeared at that time floated up after the sorceress threw beef and mutton into the lake as a sacrifice.

After seeing Ruishou, she had a feeling that the previous time had something to do with it.

It was true after asking.

Rui Beast said disdainfully while gnawing:

"I don't eat people, and I don't make troubles underwater, and I don't care about those stinky corpses, which are all made by water ghosts. I don't know why those stupid mortals fill the lake with their own kind from time to time. To blame these crimes on Yu is simply incomprehensible!"

In the past, people by the lake always had foolish ideas, thinking that once there was any flood or drought, the 'river god' would be angry.

Later, even in the years when the weather is good and the weather is good, one or two people will be selected to fill the lake, and they will be called sinners.

In fact, at that time, "sacrificing the river god" had become a means for some people to establish their prestige and eliminate dissidents.

Ruishou was disdainful and never approached the humans on the shore.

Not long ago, it was really hungry. The creatures under the water were sour and smelly from Liu Chunxin's corpse, and it couldn't take a bite at all.

Seeing the humans on the shore throw fresh meat sacrifices, it couldn't maintain its dignity as an auspicious beast because of its appetite, so it went to fight the water ghost at the bottom of the lake, snatched the corpse and threw it on the surface of the water.

While eating, it slapped the lake surface with its tail fin, and looked at the corpse floating towards the shore in the distance: "I caught it for you."

Rui Beast snorted: "Yu has always said what he says."

When Liu Chunxin's body was brought from the side of the "Goddess Lake" to the spirit team, it was not a long journey, but all the team members responsible for transporting it were worried and their palms were sweating.

Because there is a ghostly corpse in the carriage!

After arriving at the department of the spirit group, everyone carefully moved the body to a special morgue covered with talismans, and waited for it.

On the cold iron platform, the eyes of the corpse were closed, and it was a little swollen from the soak.

But compared to other corpses that had been dead for several months and were kept in extremely harsh conditions, it was considered complete.

If it weren't for the mutilated corpse, which was pitted and pitted by fish and crabs, it would be credible to say that its flesh and blood texture is like that of a living person.

There was a large sunken hole in its chest, and a blood-red nail as long as a human's forearm pierced through the shriveled and blackened heart of the corpse, where the resentment was most raging.

In the eyes of people with spiritual sense, a ghost with solid and powerful soul was standing next to the corpse, with complex and gloomy complexion.

Ge Liaochan and the people who came from the headquarters watched through the monitor, and they were a little timid, especially the new mysterious master.

When Gu Zhisang informed them that there was a big ghost close to the level of 'ghost general', many people in the headquarters didn't believe it, and felt that she was scaremongering.

They never expected that Gu Zhisang would even speak more cautiously.

The mysterious master confirmed again and again: "Is there really no need to take any measures? This is a 'ghost general', once it runs out, the whole city will be ruined!"

Geliao Gu Zhisang, the dead loyal cicada, was very calm:

"Sangsang said that Liu Chunxin had no intention of doing harm to the world, and he voluntarily went to the underworld to receive the punishment of 'karma'."

"Besides, even if it really intends to disturb the peace of the world, who can stop it besides Sangsang? People and cars were overturned during the transportation."

The mysterious master was speechless, and couldn't find any words to refute.

An hour later, Gu Zhisang walked out of the morgue with a tired face, holding three dragon-like talismans in his hand.

"I will activate those 'soul-devouring nails' later, this thing can even hurt 'spiritual objects', you must be careful when keeping it, and you will be able to find something along the lines of the mysterious master three months ago. "

That's right, that blood nail is not a 'soul-suppressing nail' to suppress the soul and let it rest in peace.

On the contrary, this is a corpse nail refined from human corpses, poisonous insects, blood of virgins and other things that nourish evil spirits and nourish yin.

Ordinary "soul-eating nails" nailed into the body of the deceased will make their souls feel pain even in hell.

If the ancestors and fathers are not safe in the ground, the fortune of the ancestral house will be broken, and the future generations will be affected in various ways, and even the luck will be broken.

The "Soul Eater Nail" nailed into Liu Chunxin's body is the top-grade weapon, and it is not intended to murder its relatives and offspring, it is just to make it unable to escape, and the resentment becomes heavier and heavier until it becomes a "ghost general" who loses his mind .

All the behind-the-scenes pushers did was to raise a murderous creature in the 'Goddess Lake'!

The moment the 'Soul Devouring Nail' was activated by Gu Zhisang, Liu Chunxin's body instantly changed from elastic to shriveled.

Corpse spots crawled up the skin of the body, exuding a foul stench.

But on the face of Yin Hun who was watching silently, there was a look of relief.

It touched the chest of the soul body that was no longer in unbearable pain, and bowed deeply in the direction of Gu Zhisang as a token of thanks.

Immediately afterwards, it voluntarily entered the talisman that Gu Zhisang had prepared in advance, waiting to be sent to the underworld.

After seeing the ghost disappear, all the people in the spirit group heaved a sigh of relief.

The people from the headquarters shook hands with Gu Zhisang after she came out, "Gu Zhisang, I really don't know what to say, you saved the people in the whole city, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid this place will suffer !"

Gu Zhisang: "No, I'm just doing my best, as long as I can complete the commission I received satisfactorily."

The people at the headquarters thought to themselves: This is not a successful completion, it is an extraordinary completion, and they have done additional questions of **** difficulty!

"We have already credited your entrustment reward to the card."

Gu Zhisang nodded, indicating that he saw it.

It was three times the amount displayed on the mini program at that time.

And now the commission on the "Goddess Lake Corpse Case" on the mini program shows that it has been completed, and it has become a case that can be viewed, and the level has changed from "dangerous" to "dangerous in hell".

Within half an hour of closing the case, the number of viewers exceeded 100.

At first, these members of the spiritual group from all over the country were just curious about Gu Zhisang, the airborne guide, and wanted to see what she was really good at from the background case.

As a result, a little bit of development found out the difficulty level, and curiosity was even aroused.

At first, many team members felt that the headquarters was too exaggerated. What kind of case can reach the difficulty of "hell"?

But when they saw 'cleaning up the city's grievances' and 'super-crossing ghost generals':? !

Everyone was at a loss and doubted life at first.

After confirming that the headquarters was not joking, and that the bottom case was all about Gu Zhisang's actual performance, he immediately threw up the pot.

Not only did they quickly promote this matter and inform their friends in the same group, but they also started to go crazy in the comment area under the mini program and started a competition:

'I admit that I am short-sighted and ignorant. When I first saw Mr. Gu's actual performance, I had doubts. I just want to work with Mr. Gu without any other wishes. Can I transfer my household registration to Rongcheng now? '

'It's different for us, is Director Gu short of apprentices? The kind that may not have a bright mind but is absolutely serious. '

'If you don't ask for an apprentice, does Director Gu lack an assistant who usually helps you deal with small things in life? '

'…’

Gu Zhisang didn't know about the new round of elections on the mini program. She sealed the 'Soul Devouring Nail' with a talisman to ensure that the evil spirit would not be leaked, and then handed it over to the careful people at the headquarters. thinking.

Although no trace of 'black mist' has been found in this case for the time being, what Gu Zhisang can be sure of is:

It must be related to it.

It wasn't until the dust of the "Goddess Lake Corpse Case" settled that she realized something again.

Somehow she has a feeling:

The 'black mist' was not only targeting her, but was embarking on a bigger conspiracy.

At this moment, the mysterious master from the headquarters rubbed his hands, and said a little embarrassedly: "Director Gu, after this case, we realized that our knowledge reserve and metaphysical ability are too weak. I wonder if you can open it for us. A symposium for guidance? If you don’t want to run back and forth, you can do it online.”

Gu Zhisang was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he said: "Online is fine, but tomorrow and the day after tomorrow are not so good, I'm going to record a new program."

When she was setting up the summoning formation by the lake this afternoon, she received a phone call from her assistant Xiao Zhou.

The other party was crying on the other end of the phone, saying that he had been missing for almost a week, which made the other party very worried.

Xiao Zhou said with resentment: "Sister Sangsang, the program group of "Spiritual Affairs" has sent the script and recording location of the seventh episode. If you don't get things right, you will miss the recording of the program!" '

The live broadcast of the program started early in the morning the day after tomorrow, so Gu Zhisang directly bought a flight ticket from Hunan Province to his destination tomorrow, and really didn't have time for any more symposiums.

The people at the headquarters didn't give up just yet, and made an appointment with her after the seventh episode of the show, and then they left contentedly with the 'Soul Eater Nail' that had been put on several layers of safes.

Because she was leaving tomorrow, Ge Liaochan felt lost, and took her back to Miao Village to host her a farewell wine.

Gu Zhisang drank some and was still in a clear state, but Ge Liaochan was already staggering, holding her arm and crying sadly, saying that she was reluctant to leave her.

In the past, Gu Zhisang would also drink a little wine, but because of her good physique, she couldn't get drunk at all. When she came to this world, in this not so strong body, she felt a little drunk for the first time in a long time.

After returning to the homestay, she opened the script for the seventh episode of the show.

After glancing at everything, she saw the list of contestants at the end of the show.

There are only five people.

Gu Zhisang just remembered that this week she was busy with the 'Goddess Lake' case and didn't pay attention to the news on the Internet.

Another person was eliminated in the last episode.

The candidates for the top five had already come out, but the one who was eliminated surprised her quite a bit.
