Chapter 33: Even the most powerful and magical beings need to be modernized and run on the mountain road...
Lei Yinyin, who was driving on the mountain road, had no idea what happened between them after she left.
She leaned over the motorcycle and made a gesture with one hand.
There is almost a corner ahead and there is no guardrail. The consequences of falling are easy to imagine.
The locomotive did not slow down, but went faster.
The Cloud Gate rose from the ground, and the motorcycle quickly disappeared into it. A moment later, the motorcycle, the people, and the dreamlike Cloud Gate all disappeared from this ordinary low mountain.
The mountains and forests returned to their original tranquility.
-
The towering mountains are shrouded in mist on the mountainside.
At the foot of the mountain, the burning of incense continued. Today was a holiday, and many people had come to the outskirts of the city to burn incense and pray for blessings. The parking lot was filled with all kinds of cars.
A tourist suddenly had an idea and looked up.
The sun was pinned to the top of the mountain, piercing through the sky and spreading evenly on the clouds. It was magnificent, like the place where the immortal palaces were located in childhood stories.
The tourist became interested and asked the mother beside him, "Hey, Mom, can we go up the hill behind Baiyang Temple?"
The old mother who came to the temple to pray once a week rolled her eyes at her silly daughter and said, "No."
It would have been fine if she hadn't said it, but once she did, the silly girl who couldn't come once a year got excited: "Why?"
After asking, he leaned closer mysteriously and said, "Is there something suppressing it? Just like what's said in the novel..."
Her mother stared at her for a long time with a forced smile, which made her feel uneasy.
"Mom...?" She stammered, but was met with a slap filled with maternal love.
"All you do every day is read your novels! You should read less novels!"
The older girl covered her head with her hands, tears welling up in her eyes: "Why is that..."
"I told you you're stupid, and you still won't admit it?" Her mother gracefully withdrew her hand and gave her a scolding look. "It's because there's a military restricted area behind that."
This is not wrong, because the mountain behind Baiyang Temple is indeed a so-called military restricted area, but the things stored there have basically nothing to do with science and technology.
The special agency Ghost Punishment Department is located here.
Lei Yinyin rode his bike, zigzagging along the well-maintained road in the back mountain.
Perhaps it is different from what many people imagine a supernatural incident handling agency to be. Although it has a bit of an antique flavor, the back mountain is after all a modern place with electricity.
Driving past the training ground on the mountainside, fellow students in training uniforms greeted her. Lei Yinyin was in a hurry to go back, so she didn't stop the car and just nodded slightly.
The junior fellow student beside him murmured, "Senior Sister Lei... is really not particular about small matters."
Unfortunately, it happened to be overheard by the senior brother who was supervising the training.
The senior brother put on a cold face and scolded him rudely: "Is the break time for you to gossip?"
"Brother, I..." The man wanted to say something, but was interrupted by his brother:
"Thousand Mile Escape Technique! Practice it ten more times!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the junior brother's face suddenly frowned.
The Thousand Miles Escape Technique is the most difficult of the elementary spiritual arts. Those who wield it well can draw upon the power of clouds and mist, escaping a thousand miles, making it no different from a restricted portal. As for those who don't...
The disciple accepted his fate and started making decisions with his hands.
He was already stuttering, and he took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and rushed forward with his head down, rushing into the Mirror Flower Water Moon Gate that seemed to be about to disappear.
With a "bang", a door appeared in the air. The disciple rushed out and fell straight to the ground, which made people's teeth ache.
"Did you see that?" The senior brother stood with his hands behind his back, scolding the young disciples around him: "You've mastered the Thousand Mile Escape Technique to this point, and you still dare to point fingers at your senior sister behind her back?"
He pointed and saw the locomotive still winding along the mountainside.
A cloud gate suddenly appeared, enclosing the locomotive inside, and then completely dissipated like a mirage.
"If you want to talk about others behind their backs, then at least you shouldn't fall flat on your face, even if you can't reach your senior sister's level." He smiled and kicked the disciple lying on the ground pretending to be dead with his toes. "Hurry up and get back to practicing! Where did all that energy go when you were talking just now?"
The disciple howled in pain and climbed up reluctantly.
Lei Yinyin, the eldest disciple of their generation, was also one of the first to complete the training task and engage in actual work.
He is 1.83 meters tall, has a stable civil service position, has a stable temperament, and is decisive and resolute, making him very popular among young disciples.
It was precisely because of this that even after using the Thousand Miles Escape Technique, it still took her a while to reach Feng Er.
Throwing his helmet aside, Lei Yinyin hurriedly walked into Feng'er and yelled at Qingmei as usual:
"Help me find someone—"
"No way, we come here to work right away?" shouted the woman sitting at the desk.
"I said, when can you come to see me just to catch up?"
"It's not working hours." Lei Yinyin raised an eyebrow: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, quickly log into the system and check someone."
"who?"
"Lin Jue, from Minguan, this Jue." Lei Yinyin wrote it down and showed it to her.
The Internet speed on the mountain was very fast, and after a while, all of Lin Jue's visible information was displayed on the page.
"I don't see any problem. What happened? Why did you suddenly come to investigate this person? Aren't you dealing with the Beiguan Village case?" Chen Zhen chattered non-stop in her ears.
Lei Yinyin simply took the mouse herself and carefully browsed Lin Jue's information on the page.
For ordinary people, there are not many records on their side, and only basic information can be seen. Lei Yinyin reached the bottom before she had even made two strokes.
Both parents are dead? Elementary, middle, and high schools are closed?
Lei Yinyin laughed out of anger. This ghost had absolutely no regard for humans when he fabricated the file.
"Check Su Huaiwang's again."
Chen Zhen's eyebrows relaxed. "Oh, the victim of the Beiguan Village case. What's the matter? Have you found out anything new?"
Lei Yinyin nodded: "But I can't be sure now."
Chen Zhen first praised her, "You're truly one of our top students. You can even crack a case like this." Then his expression changed and he said solemnly, "But don't act rashly. The ghost in that case is a top-tier vengeful ghost. You can't solve it."
Tianzi Jia is the highest level of ghosts, and is the most difficult vengeful ghost to get rid of among all ghosts.
With these two things combined, most people here right now can't even hurt its fur.
No wonder my mother went there in person.
Lei Yinyin frowned. "A top-tier vengeful ghost? There are still top-tier vengeful ghosts now?"
Chen Zhen realized he had spoken out of turn and laughed, "Well, there are always unexpected things."
"What kind of accident is this?" The heroic woman's brows furrowed deeper and deeper as she pressed on, "After the situation stabilized, not to mention the top-tier ghosts, even the top-tier ghosts rarely appeared. How could a top-tier vengeful ghost suddenly appear?"
She gasped, "Could it be...?!"
Chen Zhen jumped up from his chair and covered her mouth tightly: "My dear little aunt! You can't talk about this kind of thing! Please don't talk about things that will destroy unity, okay?!"
"Only by taking precautions can we..." Lei Yinyin was still trying to preach her truth.
"Hey, if you know everything, how could the director not know it?"
Lei Yinyin was silent.
"Don't ask too many questions. This vengeful ghost is a historical relic. Although she was newly born, she is not new either."
"What does this mean?"
"What it means is that it's not the resentment of one person after his death, but rather the resentment of a group of people that has settled over time. As for how large this group is and how long the time span is, you can tell by the fact that it's been marked as Tian Zi Jia, right?"
Lei Yinyin was speechless again.
Resentful ghosts, resentful ghosts, ghosts formed from resentment, as long as this resentment is not eliminated, they can never be eradicated. Even if they are reduced to ashes for a while, sooner or later they will be reborn one day with this resentment that still lingers in the world.
Dealing with resentful ghosts is difficult, but also easy. Once the object or thing they resent disappears, they will become Buddhas themselves.
However, where there is white, there is black; where there is light, there is darkness.
The resentful ghosts can never be killed or destroyed.
However, vengeful ghosts are rare, let alone such a powerful one, because...
"Wait?" Lei Yinyin suddenly discovered a blind spot: "It has never hurt anyone until the Tianzi Jia level?"
This is a simplified statement. They all know that the "people" Lei Yinyin mentioned refer to innocent people other than the sinful ghosts.
The reason why there are so few resentful ghosts is that many of them will choose to harm innocent people out of anger and hatred. Once they do so, they will turn into evil ghosts or fierce ghosts.
Chen Zhen nodded with difficulty: "Well, although it's hard to believe, it is indeed the case."
"In the decades since its birth, it has never harmed innocent people. It has simply huddled in its territory day after day, dreaming its own evil dreams..."
When he said this, Chen Zhen showed an expression of pity on his face.
She is a technician, not a knowledgeable and cold-hearted master, and such things always make her sigh.
Lei Yinyin lowered her head in thought. This case was more complicated than she had imagined. She was just a low-level Taoist priest now. Who assigned this case to her?
She raised her head and was about to say something, but was interrupted by a sound from the door.
"Lei Yinyin, the director is calling you." A middle-aged woman with an imposing presence walked towards them.
She was not wearing a uniform, but her back was straight and her demeanor showed that she was not an ordinary person.
Lei Yinyin nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away."
The woman turned her gaze from Lei Yinyin to Chen Zhen: "And you, be careful with your words and actions."
Chen Zhen shrank his head, slumped back in his chair guiltily, and muttered, "I know..."
Chen Zhen is fearless, so why should she be afraid of her mother?
The woman retracted her gaze and said to Lei Yinyin, "Don't tell anyone about what happened just now."
"I know." Lei Yinyin also knew it.
The woman was satisfied and turned around: "Come with me, the director is still waiting for you."
After a while, outside the training ground, Lei Yinyin sat obediently in the waiting area, looking at the sky full of lightning in the training ground.
She was a little fidgety and stood on tiptoe.
"Coming?" A shadow suddenly fell in front of her. She quickly stood up and nodded rapidly.
"Have you been there?" Lei Yinyin knew who her mother was talking about, and nodded again immediately.
The woman sighed. “That’s a good man.”
She was very tall, taller than Lei Yinyin, and her features were somewhat similar to hers. Even though she had been exposed to rain, snow, wind and frost, she was still as sharp as ever.
If Su Huaiwang were here at this moment, she would probably be surprised to find that this woman was the one standing in front of her bed at that time.
"Go change your clothes. We haven't practiced together for a long time." She turned around and pointed casually.
Lei Yinyin was stunned.
"What? You thought I was going to ask you about the case?"
Lei Yinyin hesitated and said "yes".
Lei Zhengqing chuckled: "I'm not that controlling that I would even interfere with my daughter's work."
Lei Yinyin pursed her lips: "I will try my best to solve it." She had already guessed that this case was probably assigned to her by Lei Zhengqing.
The director of the Ghost Punishment Department raised his hand, signaling her to stop talking: "Safety first, this is just an ordinary case."
And now she is just a worried mother who has to push her daughter out.
"I will." Lei Yinyin didn't understand what her mother meant, but tried to be as firm as possible to reassure her mother.
Lei Zhengqing paused and sighed almost inaudibly: "It's time for you to see the world."
Lei Yinyin was confused and wanted to ask what this meant, but Lei Zhengqing had already walked quickly into the training ground.
The lightning flashed again.
