The Ninth Secret Bureau

The souls of Xu Sanhan and the brawny man disappeared.

Chen Xian didn't notice this at first, and it wasn't until about an hour after Xu Sanhan and the others died that Chen Xian gradually felt that something was not quite right.

The souls of the two of them are gone.

According to common sense, after human beings have completely stopped their bodily functions, the soul will leave the body within a certain period of time and become a spiritual body in a broad sense, which is the so-called bardo body in religious science.

Like most other people, Chen Xian has a large degree of variation in the eye tissue. In popular terms, his naked eyes can see the Yin and Yang. Therefore, this change from a living person to a bardo can be seen with his own eyes. I have witnessed it many times, and I have a better understanding of this change, and I also know the approximate time required for this process.

As long as half an hour, short as short, there will be no exceptions to this kind of thing, and it is also the consensus of the outside world.

This is the blame.

Last night, in order to ensure that there would be no "personal evidence" other than himself in this incident, Chen Xian deliberately guarded Xu Sanhan's corpse in the yard after their deaths for a while, only waiting for the souls of those two people to leave their bodies. He swallowed them cleanly.

In order to wait for the souls of the two of them to come out, Chen Xian waited for a whole night, but he couldn't see them until dawn.

"So...the souls of those two people really disappeared..." the old liar muttered on the phone. He seemed to be puzzled by his tone, as if he didn't expect this to happen. .

"you sure?"

"Yes." Chen Xian replied, with a strange expression on his face. "When the logistics department came for the autopsy, I also looked at it. The two corpses were indeed empty shells, and their souls were gone."

On the other end of the phone, the old liar fell silent after listening to Chen Xian's recount.

The soul is gone?

The old liar recalled with a bewildered face that he and Wang Bei were squatting on the roof of the old house last night. They had seen the things that happened in the yard with their own eyes, so many details can now be remembered.

From beginning to end, the old liar and Wang Bei had never seen Xu Sanhan's soul.

"The disappearance of their souls has something to do with that evil weapon?" the old liar frowned and asked, "how are you sure?"

"Feel."

Chen Xian couldn't help scratching his head when he said this, and felt that what he said was too metaphysical, because it is currently difficult to prove the truth of this speculation.

"I found that the body of the sword is a little more moisturized than yesterday, as if it is full." Chen Xian muttered, his face full of doubts, "but it doesn't seem to be able to eat any spirit body, the shame I met before, It was okay after I had slashed so many knives, but in the end I gritted my teeth and swallowed it."

"Then you have a chance to try again..." the old liar smiled maliciously.

"Try again?" Chen Xian was taken aback, and asked him amusedly, "I can't find someone to kill, right?"

The old liar just laughed and didn't speak up.

"Anyway, I'm very satisfied with this evil weapon now. To be honest, Lord Ge, it always gives me a strange feeling. It seems that I have seen it in my previous life and I am very familiar with it."

Chen Xian said, holding a clean towel and carefully wiping the dishes and chopsticks.

The girl squatted aside and stared at Chen Xian at this time. The eyes watching him work were exactly the same as those watching cartoons. The eyes were shining, and she didn't know what was thinking in her mind, and she didn't say a word.

"Familiar? Maybe you think too much, right?" The old liar smiled, but didn't care about Chen Xian's words, "I called you not only to ask you about what happened last night, but one more thing. ."

"One more thing? What is it?" Chen Xian asked curiously.

"Didn't you let me apply for the certificate for you? I have compiled the information here, but the problem is that there is one thing missing, so the information has not had time to upload." The old liar said helplessly.

Chen Xian frowned, and said to his heart that something has changed?

"Master Ge, what's the difference?" Chen Xian asked tentatively.

"Name!" the old liar asked him angrily, "Can't you let me make up the name?"

"Oh bad this..."

Chen Xian put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, turned his head and glanced at the silly girl, his eyes became serious, and all kinds of names flashed in his mind.

Zhao Qian Sun Li Zhou Wu Zheng Wang...Which one of the surnames to choose for her? Can't follow my surname Chen, right?

But she was picked up by me, and it doesn't matter if she has my last name, but the question is, what should she be called if she is Chen?

Chen Shisan?

Chen Huh?

Chen Fantong...no...this name is a bit vulgar...

The girl saw Chen Xian staring at herself endlessly, her eyes became more and more curious, what was he looking at?

"Chen Xian!" The girl got up and leaned in front of Chen Xian, blinked her eyes, and asked curiously, "Why...what's wrong?"

"What's your name?" Chen Xian tentatively asked her with his hand over the microphone.

The girl looked at him innocently, blinked and said nothing.

"Forget me to ask for nothing." Chen Xian sighed.

Suddenly, Chen Xian gave a "tsk" in disgust.

Perhaps it was because she was too eager to eat. There were still a few grains of rice left by the girl's mouth. Chen Xian hadn't noticed before. Now, with this abrupt look, Chen Xian was uncomfortable, as if he saw flies flying and hovering on the cake. Generally diaphragm should be.

Chen Xian hurriedly found a paper towel to wipe her mouth, while wiping her mouth, nagging like an old mother: "I can't save a snack after eating a meal!"

It's also a coincidence that when Chen Xian frowned and wiped the girl's mouth, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

The girl's name is there!

"Master Ge? Are you still there?"

"Aren't you **** nonsense?" The old liar scolded on the phone, dissatisfied with Chen Xian's sudden opening of his phone, "What did you do?"

"I have decided on the name."

Chen Xian repeatedly made sure that the girl's face was wiped clean, and then he crumpled the used tissues into a ball and threw it into the trash can next to the stove.

"What's your name?" the old liar asked.

"Mu He." When Chen Xian said this, his eyes kept rolling on the girl, only that there was nothing more suitable for her than this name, "Wood of wood, Hemiao of He."

The old liar on the phone was quiet for a while, and seemed to wonder if the name had any profound meaning, and why the name sounds familiar... as if he had heard it somewhere.

"You got this name?" The old liar was a little curious and couldn't help asking, "Is there any special meaning?"

Chen Xian smiled and said that it had no meaning.

"OK, this name is definitely not changed, huh?"

"Well, don't change it."

"Then I will pass the information up here, hey, it's really troublesome..."

After the call was hung up, Chen Xian put the phone in his pocket, rolled up his sleeves and continued to wash the dishes, turning his head to look at the girl from time to time, and seeing that she was still staring at him stupidly, Chen Xian's mouth was inadvertently. A faint smile appeared on the ground.

He once saw a strange plant in the record of the ancient book "Shan Hai Jing".

That kind of plant grows on the top of Kunlun Mountain and is the largest rice in the world.

It is called Muhe.

"Kunlun's Void, Fangbabaili, Gaowanren, there is Muhe...Since you like rice so much, then you will call it Muhe in the future."

"Muhe?"

Hearing that the girl's pronunciation was fairly standard, Chen Xian couldn't help laughing, his eyes were a little more gentle than usual.

"Yes, Mu He."

Two flowers bloom, one on each table.

Different from the warm atmosphere in Chen Xian's house, the atmosphere in the old liar's grocery store was particularly solemn at this time, and even felt a sense of tension.

The old liar is calling.

The old liar is also cursing.

"My surname is Zhou, why is it so hard for me to do something with you!" The old liar took the phone and put his feet on the counter in the front hall. The old man said, "It's not for me to do things for myself, it's for Xiao Chen that bastard!"

"I know." The old man on the phone sighed, "If it weren't for him, I would have hung up your phone. When would you stop your mouth from being so stinky?"

If Chen Xian was there, he would definitely be able to tell that the old man on the phone was not someone else, but his contact person in the secret bureau, Lao Zhou.

"You take care of me." The old liar muttered, "You know Xiao Chen's temperament. He doesn't like to ask for help, and he doesn't like to owe favors. For so many years, he has only asked me to buy things and didn't let me help him. After other things... I finally got a chance to show love to my child. Will you not give me face?"

Lao Zhou sighed, feeling a little headache: "I will try my best."

"It's not a question of trying your best, you old guy must get things done!" the old liar said angrily, "Chen Ba told us before that the old immortal left, and the child will entrust it to him in the future. The two of us are gone, you have to give me something to do with him!"

"Where did the girl come from?" Lao Zhou couldn't help asking, with unconcealable curiosity in his tone, "What is the relationship between her and Xiao Xian?"

The old liar smacked his lips and said, "I don't know about this, but the two of them have already lived together. Guess it yourself."

"Fuck!" Lao Zhou exclaimed, "Really?"

"Aren't you swearing bad words?" The old liar seemed to have caught Lao Zhou's handle, with a particularly sinister smirk. "You are a gentleman. You haven't scolded bad words for so many years. You are breaking the ring today?"

"Fuck you!" Old Zhou cursed without slaps, but suddenly, he seemed to be thinking of something again, and his voice was abruptly suppressed, "You pay more attention in Ningchuan, I will listen. The person above said that there was movement from the Xu family, especially the one from the Xu family..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Zhou paused for a while, as if he was speaking.

"In addition to these, I also heard an interesting thing."

"What's the matter?" the old liar asked, frowning very tightly, still paying attention to the Xu family's movements.

"The detection department has been very active these days. It seems that there are many job transfers. I heard that the superior is planning to open branch departments in various second-tier cities in China. The first branch test site is in Ningchuan." Lao Zhou said. Here, the tone suddenly became meaningful.

"Maybe Xiaoxian's days to come will be uneasy..."
