Chapter 300: The Widow of the Ghost Master
Lin Zhi still didn't have time to find someone to repair the lamp the next day, so he packed his backpack and headed north that night.
The flesh and blood of the demon seemed to know that time was running out, and was racing against time to create trouble.
Shuang Ling was also dug out from the quilt, and his sleepy state was rarely the same as Gu Xing's.
"I'm not sure what happened yet, but they called and said there was some movement."
The person on the other end of the phone couldn't explain clearly what had happened. They only said that the family where Lian Qing's left leg was was having a wedding today, and there seemed to be a happy omen.
Joyful evil, also called red evil, is a kind of evil energy caused by great joy.
"Isn't it a collision of red and white?"
Shuang Ling's body was tense. If something like this happened, it would be a bad thing and someone would definitely die.
The collision of red and white is a typical evil spirit. When a wedding team plays suona to welcome the bride, and a funeral team plays suona to commemorate the deceased, and the coffin and the sedan meet, those caught in the collision will die.
"No," Gu Xing hung up the phone and waved his hand, explaining, "Such situations are less common now. The bodies are all taken to the crematorium and cremated in the cemetery. The chances of a funeral car and a wedding car colliding are very small."
Gu Xing glanced at his watch and said, "We'll get there right away and take a plane. It'll take about two or three hours. We should know the situation when we get there."
Shuang Ling clasped his hands together and said, "I hope nothing happens. I hope we can make it in time."
"I'm afraid it's too late," Lin Zhi looked at the location that disappeared on the system map, rubbed his brows and said, "His flesh and blood disappeared again."
This is the second time this has happened. The last time the torso was fused with the limbs so its whereabouts could not be found. Will it be the same this time?
Shuang Ling exclaimed, "Again!"
Gu Xing's phone rang at the same time. After he answered it, he turned on the speaker so that everyone could listen together.
Anyway, they were on their way to the crime scene, so the division member in charge of this matter did not mind being long-winded and explained everything in detail.
A few days before receiving instructions from their superiors, they had already conducted a thorough survey of the area surrounding the location point.
The blood and flesh are in a certain family's house. They have been busy preparing for a wedding banquet these days.
They are in a village in the north. Their son is getting married, and many people have come to help today, gathering together in a lively atmosphere.
Several employees of the Special Department who were on a field trip contributed money and joined the party. The people here were very warm and hospitable. Even strangers were allowed to sit down as long as they came to wish each other a happy stay. They did not attract anyone's attention.
They had been worried that the overwhelming joy would bring about an incident, and sure enough, at night, the surrounding yin energy began to become restless, with the owner's wedding room becoming a vortex, and the surrounding air was continuously sucked into it.
So they quickly called the person in charge of this operation, Gu Xing, and asked them to come quickly and report any unusual movements at any time.
Not long after the last phone call, the evil spirit suddenly exploded, and before they could rush in to rescue people, the evil spirit disappeared without a trace.
The family also heard the noise and rushed in to check. The employees of the Special Branch were welcomed into the house by showing their police officer ID and saying that they were on a mission.
The bride and groom fell on the bed and the ground respectively.
The bride had marks of being strangled on her neck, obviously she had been greatly frightened. The groom seemed to be in a state of unconsciousness, his whole body was wet and sticky, and he emitted a fishy smell.
Fortunately, the groom woke up after first aid, and the happy event suddenly turned into a funeral.
The newlyweds couldn't explain what misfortune had befallen them.
"The groom said he was about to sleep with his wife, but suddenly lost consciousness and then saw us."
"The bride knew more. She was about to have sex with her husband when he suddenly pounced on her and started biting her. She originally thought it was just a sexual gesture, but she felt like her husband was really trying to bite off a piece of her flesh, so the two of them started fighting."
"Her husband became extremely strong and pinched her neck as if he wanted to strangle her to death. Then her eyes blurred and her husband disappeared."
"She saw a huge dark shadow moving across the wall, then her husband appeared on the ground, and then we appeared."
The other party finished speaking in one breath and drank a large glass of water because he was thirsty.
Gu Xing replied that he would reply as soon as possible and then hung up the phone.
Shuang Ling scratched his head: "It seems that there are no clues, just a black shadow?"
"Borrowing a body or confusing the mind to eat people, and then some other power intervenes. The shadow can start from the bride and see what saved her."
Lin Zhi said as he thought about it, overturning his previous conclusion in his heart.
He thought that this was another fusion, which caused the coordinates to disappear, but the demon that had merged with Lian Qing's limbs was not so easy to deal with.
The last time it merged with the flesh and blood of Lian Qing's torso, it had eaten humans from the very beginning. It could also change memories on a large scale and hide in people's shadows during the day.
If Lian Qing had not intervened and the Special Department had not used force to suppress the situation, the situation would not have been resolved so quickly.
Moreover, the coordinates did not disappear earlier or later, but just disappeared after the black shadow appeared.
Therefore, the one who hid Lian Qing’s left leg might not be the demon, but the black shadow.
Gu Xing added: "The groom suddenly disappeared and reappeared. It is very likely that he was swallowed and spit out by the black shadow in the bride's mouth. The sticky and fishy smell all over his body is most likely the black shadow's saliva. If this is the case, it is very obvious what the black shadow is."
Lin Zhi and the voice beside her said at the same time: "Great Immortal."
The name of the Northeast Great Immortal is well-known, and asking the Great Immortal to possess the body and exorcise evil spirits under the shamanistic belief is also a regional characteristic.
In the past, shamans were not allowed to go beyond Shanhaiguan, so there were more of them in the Northeast. Even though times have changed and this ban has almost disappeared, this shaman culture is still more popular in the North and rare in the South.
The great immortals are the guardian immortals, also known as earth immortals. They are all animals that have cultivated to become immortals and usually have physical bodies.
Shuang Ling saw that they guessed the answer in a few words and his eyes widened in shock.
Gu Xing smiled and said, "There is still a lot of practice for the kid, watch and learn more."
Shuang Ling nodded repeatedly, and said like a student who actively answered questions in front of the teacher: "I know the five great immortals, Hu Huang Bai Liu Hui."
Hu, yellow, white, willow and gray are respectively the fox, weasel, hedgehog, snake and mouse.
"This is just a popular folk classification method. There is another classification method that usually takes the four major families of Hu, Huang, Chang and Mang as the main ones, and the eight major families as the auxiliary ones."
The positions of the two immortals Hu and Huang have always been unquestionable. Chang is a long worm, that is, a snake, and Mang is a larger python. Among the five immortals, Chang and Mang are combined into Liu.
"Brother Gu, this is the first time I've heard of what the Eight Great Families are."
Gu Xing: "The Eight Great Sects are also called the Three Flower Sects. They are called differently, but they cover a lot of things, such as white ash."
Lin Zhi pondered for a while and said, "He said that the times are changing. What you said is not complete. I ask you to continue to supplement it."
Everyone knew who the "he" Lin Zhi was talking about was.
Gu Xing opened his eyes wide, which usually had droopy eyelids as if he could not wake up, and performed a pupil earthquake for everyone.
"Brother, you're still testing me even though you're dead?!"
Shuang Ling exclaimed: "Wow, Brother Gu, your eyes are quite big when they are open."
Two voices sounded almost at the same time. Gu Xing glanced at Shuang Ling. Is this the point?
Lin Zhi and Chen Xun unconsciously glanced at Gu Xing's eyes and found that they seemed to be quite big.
Gu Xing looked at all of them gloomily. He was not arrogant and did not care about losing face in front of his subordinates. He thought for a while and added a few words. Finally, he said frankly: "I really don't know much about this aspect."
Master Gu Xing came from Taoism and had some knowledge of Maoshan magic, but his activities were mostly in the south or west, and he seldom set foot on the black soil. He had no idea what was being worshipped in the current shamanic temples.
Lian Qing said mercilessly: "Laziness."
He was always so ruthless towards other people.
He looked at Lin Zhi and asked, "Do you want to hear it? If you want to hear it, I'll tell you. Otherwise, let him check it out himself."
"Let's listen together."
Lin Zhi signaled to Lian Qing so that he wouldn't have to repeat it.
Lian Qing outlined his figure. It was early summer when he died and the weather was not too hot. He was wearing a camel-colored knitted long gown and his aura was casual and indifferent.
As soon as he appeared, the atmosphere in the entire carriage changed.
Lin Zhi looked at Shuang Ling and Gu Xing who had become serious and serious, as well as Chen Xun who had already been serious and now became even more serious, and was still leaning on the sofa playing with the beads in his hand.
Gu Xing thought that his senior brother was indeed different now that he was in love. If it were in the past, his senior brother would definitely let him run around by himself, look up all the information, and then write a paper for him to check.
"Nowadays, most Taoist temples no longer focus on the traditional five major immortals, such as Hu, Huang, Bai, Liu and Hui. Instead, they are divided into Hu, Huang, Chang, Qing and Hua."
"Some halls and camps would separate the python from the Hua Sanjiao and call it the Hu Huang Chang Python. This is what you mentioned before. There is no need to mention it specifically."
"Except Hu Huang Changqing, all other animals that have cultivated to become immortals can be classified as the Three Hua Sects, or the Outer Five Elements. The Bai and Hui families are included in this category since they are no longer among the traditional five great immortal families. There are also the Yuan, Ban, Hei, and Hua families, which I will not list one by one."
Lian Qing spoke at a steady pace, glancing at Lin Zhi from time to time, and would expand on his explanation if he found that he had any doubts.
Lin Zhi listened with great interest and was somewhat curious about the origins of the external five elements that he cited later.
Lian Qing immediately added: "They are turtles from rivers and lakes. The larger ones are called Yuan, and the smaller ones are called Gui. Tigers are mostly surnamed Ban, bears are surnamed Hei, and deer are surnamed Hua."
Seeing Lin Zhi nod slightly, Lian Qing continued to the next topic.
Shuang Ling, who was sitting next to him, suddenly felt very full.
"Qing means Qingfeng, which is the ghost fairy below. The male is called Qingfeng and the female is called Yanhun. Qingxian is a general name for them and also a respectful name."
"Souls of this kind are naturally not offered randomly. They are all relatives and ancestors of the disciples who come to the entrance of the Taoist hall. However, the scope is not too strict. It also includes the ancestors of the spouse, who are called 'the ancestors at the threshold'."
"Only a few are foreign souls, specially hired by them, and are called 'outside the threshold'."
Lin Zhi supported his chin. Although he did not set up a special hall to worship Lian Qing, it was almost the same.
"The leader of Qingfengli is called the Monument King in the hall camp, also known as the Sad King. He is the second most important person after the head of the hall. In some places, he is also called the Golden Dragon or Silver Dragon Monument."
Speaking of this, Lian Qing had to mention the composition of the Tangying.
Whether it is a "Ma Hall" or a "Dao Hall", it needs a chief leader as the leader of the hall.
For example, the chief leader of the halls of the spirit masters is mostly the "master" of the Hu family, and the identity of the chief leader of the Taoist hall is more complicated.
"In the Debut Hall Camp, the Monument King is more than five generations older than the disciples. If a Hall Camp Monument King is not chosen correctly, the four pillars will not be complete, the Hall Master will not descend, and other immortals will not take their seats."
Lian Qing briefly explained the knowledge points and returned the topic to his missing flesh and blood.
"It should be the Chang family that made the move this time. Ask in this direction."
Lian Qing had already determined which immortal had taken action the moment he heard the information, and it would not be difficult to find his whereabouts.
The car had arrived at where the helicopter was parked. Everyone got out of the car, and Lian Qing's figure had disappeared.
Shuang Ling hugged the cat and whispered, "Team Leader Lian is still so reliable."
Gu Xing returned to his usual self and said lazily, "Senior Brother is always like this."
He saw Lin Zhi looking at him with a smile again, and for some reason he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Lin Zhi relayed Lian Qing's words and said, "Five hundred Taoist talismans."
Gu Xing knew it when he gritted his teeth.
Two and a half hours later, the special department members set foot on this fertile black soil.
The mood of the newlyweds and their family who were in the accident has calmed down after being comforted. The victims seem to be very carefree. They had just fallen asleep when Lin Zhi and others arrived.
The bride and groom said casually: "It's the wedding night."
"That thing probably won't come back once it's gone."
"You asked Chang Xian, then I do remember that when I was a child, my family seemed to have this as a sacrifice."
The bride thought for a moment and said, let her tell what she knew.
In her memory, her family worshipped the guardian deity when she was a child, and it seemed that it started from her grandfather's grandfather's generation.
But her father died when she was three or four years old, and her mother took her away to remarry. Those things seemed so far away to her, so far away that she could hardly remember them.
"I haven't even offered him two sticks of incense, but he still misses me."
The bride lowered her head and picked at her fingers, feeling inexplicably sad. She didn't know if it was because of the immortal who had not received much worship from her, or because of the blessings and protection left to her by her deceased parents and ancestors.
Lin Zhi: "Can you take us to the ancestral home? We need to find him."
Since it is a worship by ancestors, the offering shrine should be in the ancestral home.
"Of course, I should."
The bride nodded and kicked her husband next to her, and her husband also nodded repeatedly.
The group set out overnight and headed for a village four or five hours away by car.
Lin Zhi closed his eyes and took a nap in the back seat. Lian Qing did not show up beside him and adjusted his posture to make him sleep more comfortably.
When we arrived, it was still dark.
The entry of outsiders into the village seemed to have attracted the attention of the guard dog, and a burst of barking was heard.
"quiet."
Gu Xing held the yellow talisman and waved it in the air. The talisman rose into the air and burned, and the surroundings suddenly fell into silence.
The special department personnel used several super bright flashlights to illuminate the dusty house.
The bride took out the key, but the keyhole was rusty and couldn't be opened.
She simply ripped off the lock and pushed the door open.
Walking through the gate and into the house, the rosewood shrine and offering cabinet in the corner is particularly eye-catching.
Although the statue of the immortal has become gray over the years, it still exudes a mysterious aura.
Lin Zhi thought this kind of offering cabinet was nice and wondered if her late husband would like one.
