As soon as Kong Kong finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Then, the door was pushed open, and Gu Yue walked in pushing a dining cart. She said with a smile: "Everyone, please rest, I just I found some vegetables and lean meat in the restaurant kitchen and cooked a pot of vegetable porridge. Let the master and Miss Xia come and have a taste."
Guyue gently opened the aluminum pot in the car, and immediately, a fresh aroma of porridge floated in the room. We had been busy all day, and we didn't feel much when we had something to do, but after telling Guyue this, we smelled it again. The aroma made my stomach growl.
Gu Yue was also very smart. She took out another bowl of porridge from the shelf and handed it to Kong Kong and said, "Master, please drink this one. There are only vegetables in this porridge, and even the oil is peanut oil, not raw." "
Kong Kong thanked Gu Yue, then took the porridge and walked to the window to taste it. Shana smiled and said: "Miss Lao Gu, Lei Lei, you can have a bowl too."
I was just about to serve a bowl, but Gu Yue said: "Don't eat it yet, I prepared a bowl of chicken soup for you and put it in Miss Xia's room. This chicken soup can replenish your body. You have suffered a lot today." Such a serious injury must be very debilitating."
"It doesn't matter, you see I'm not fine." I patted my chest. Even if there was any injury, Ma Mian had healed it as early as the evening. Now I am in a better state.
"Are you really not going to drink a sip?" Gu Yue lowered her head and said softly, biting her lip, looking very aggrieved.
When Xia Na saw her like this, she bumped me lightly with her elbow: "You are really ignorant. Miss Gu is a rich man, but she even cooks a bowl of chicken soup for you. How can you not understand? Quickly Go quickly, it will be bad if the soup gets cold."
I know that Xia Na doesn¡¯t want to embarrass Gu Yue. Besides, she has asked An Bei to look for Gu Zhensheng on her behalf. If it¡¯s bad, she can send Gu Yue back tomorrow. In this case, this bowl of chicken soup must be drunk or poured. It seems like I'm being pretentious.
So I stood up and said, "Well, since it's Yueyue's wish, how can I not drink it? The chicken soup is over there, right? I'll drink it by myself. You've been tired for a day, so hurry up and have a bowl of porridge first." ."
"I know." Gu Yue said, but she didn't seem to want to look at me. While serving two bowls of porridge for Shana and herself, she said, "Hurry up and drink, so as not to let the soup get cold."
I saw that she didn¡¯t look at me seriously, thinking that she knew she was about to go home and felt a little uncomfortable so she didn¡¯t want to face me. I didn¡¯t think so either, so I nodded towards Shana and walked to the next room.
Sure enough, there was a fragrance filling the room, and a bowl of thick soup was placed on the table. I stepped forward and took a look, and saw ginseng, wolfberry and other things floating in the soup. It was obvious that Guyue had spent a lot of effort to make it. This soup made me think of how I got to know Gu Yue, from trying to calm her nerves to meeting her in the middle of the night, to the misunderstanding she caused with Shana, to all the things I have experienced in J City now. I found that although the time we met was It's so short, but we have already experienced so many things together without even realizing it.
I thought that even if I couldn't accept Gu Yue, I would still contact her more when I have time in the future and treat her as multiple friends. I thought like this, then picked up the chicken soup and put it to my lips.
In the empty room, Gu Yue handed Shana a bowl of vegetable porridge. Whether it was an illusion or not, Shana felt that Gu Yue's face was getting more and more ugly. When she handed her the porridge, her hands actually started to tremble. Shana couldn't help but express concern. Asked: "Ms. Gu, are you okay? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Unexpectedly, Gu Yue seemed not to have heard Shana's words. She looked straight ahead, as if she had seen something terrifying. Her body was shaking, and then she spoke in a voice that she could only hear. He kept saying: "No, no, he is so good to me, how can I harm him"
Suddenly, Guyue screamed and let go of Shana's bowl of porridge, letting Shana's bowl of porridge fall to the ground. Shana and Kong Kong were stunned, but Guyue had already ran out of the room. When she rushed into Shana's room, I happened to Picked up the chicken soup and wanted to drink it all.
", no!" Guyue shouted, rushed up and swept out the chicken soup and porcelain bowl in my hand to the corner. The porcelain bowl shattered, and the chicken soup inside spilled all over the carpet. Suddenly, the room was filled with It's filled with an extremely rich meaty aroma.
Shana and Kong Kong also ran over, but they didn't come in. They just stood at the door. I looked at the broken bowl in the corner and was speechless for a moment. I didn't know what Gu Yue was doing. It was so good. She knocked away the bowl of chicken soup.
"Yueyue, what are you doing?" I turned around and asked, but I saw Guyue with tears streaming down her face. Her shoulders were shaking, as if she was scared, but also as if she was extremely sad.
I wanted to reach out to support her, but before I could put my hand on her shoulder, Gu Yue pushed me away and retreated to the door. She cried and said: ", I'm sorry, I'm sorry for you, I don't deserve to compete with Miss Xia at all." You, I am a bad girl?, Yueyue is a bad woman"
"Yueyue, what are you talking about?" I heard her keep saying that she was bad, and my heart suddenly hurt for no reason, so I wanted to catch her. Gu Yue yelled, then hid her face and rushed out of the door. Even Shana and Shana who were standing at the door were shaken by her collision.
I quickly rushed out the door: "Yueyue, where are you going? Come back quickly!"
Gu Yue ignored my shouting. After a while, she ran down the stairs. I tried to catch up in a hurry, but Shana caught her.
"Xia Na, what are you doing? Let me chase her back first." I shouted hurriedly.
Shana shook her head and said to me: "You should first look at the bowl of soup spilled on the floor."
"What's so good about soup?" I said, but I still turned around and looked into the room. This sight made my face turn pale.
In the corner, a large red carpet was soaked with chicken soup, and bursts of blue smoke came out. I looked at the room, then looked back at Shana and the two, and said as if my tongue was tied: "This, this what's going on?"
"The soup is poisonous." Kong said with a sigh. After saying this, the young monk walked back to his room.
The empty words were like a hammer hitting my chest. I suddenly felt depressed in my chest. I shook my head and said, "Impossible. How could Gu Yue poison me? Even if I didn't accept her, she wouldn't do it." To this extent.¡±
Shana saw that I was very excited, so she took one of my arms and sat down on the bed with me in the room: "Don't be too excited. I saw that her face looked wrong just now, and looking at her like this, she seemed It seems to have been premeditated, maybe there is some reason why I approached you, I am even thinking now whether Gu Zhensheng's commission itself is also a trap."
"This, how could this be like this?" I shook my head, still unable to believe this fact. Although Gu Yue was unreasonable, I could feel the kindness in her heart when she talked about her previous life experience. , but why did she want to poison me? Is it for love or for other things?
At this time, my mobile phone rang. I answered it listlessly, but what came from the mobile phone was Ampere's voice: "Mr. Lei, you asked me to find Gu Zhensheng. There is a situation now."
I heard Ampere¡¯s voice was very strange, so I asked, ¡°Is there any problem?¡±
"Are you sure Gu Zhensheng is in City J now?" Ampei said: "But the news we got is that this real estate tycoon in City B went to the United States five days ago and has not come back yet."
When I heard this, there was a "boom" in my mind. Wasn't it the night I met Guyue five days ago? So, she was lying to me early in the morning?
That night, I lay awake and couldn't figure out why Gu Yue wanted to harm me. But judging from the bowl of chicken soup she took out of my hand at the end, it seemed that she couldn't make the move at the last moment. So this time she poisoned me. Did her behavior come from her own will, or was there someone behind her back?
If someone is giving instructions behind my back, then who wants to kill me?
When I thought about who wanted to harm me, I remembered the Resentment Killing Technique that I encountered when I helped Xinhai Hotel solve a supernatural incident some time ago. I almost got trapped in that extremely vicious technique. Shana also said at that time that I would use this technique. The person who practices martial arts really has the intention to kill me, so is it possible that the current Gu Yue was also inspired by that person?
But I can¡¯t think of anything about me that makes me worthy of being killed. Could it be that I have offended someone unknowingly? I just lay in bed and thought wildly all night, until the east turned white, and I fell asleep, but I couldn't sleep for much time. The alarm clock I set early in the morning rang. We had done a good job of dividing the work last night, with Kong continuing to investigate the evil formation, while Shana and I were responsible for finding out the identity of the monster.
According to Shana, in order to set up such a large formation that reverses yin and yang, one must be very familiar with the flow of energy throughout the four seasons of the city. Therefore, this monster must live in J City for a long time. Perhaps it can be found from the past archives of J City. Some clues.
I went to the bathroom and washed my face. When I saw myself in the mirror, I was stunned for a moment. Under the white light, the man in the mirror looked pale, his eyes were bloodshot, and his whole chin was covered with green stubble. No energy at all. this is me?
I asked myself, then slapped my face hard with water, then took a towel to wipe it, and my face looked better. I thought that there is anyone else in Gu Yue who wants to kill me. These two things can only wait until City J. Solved, I will spend some more time to check it out. If someone really wants to kill me, I can't always be in this passive situation. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will be restless and unable to sleep in the future. .
"Thunder, are you awake?" Shana knocked on the door.
I quickly walked out of the bathroom to take a napWhen we opened the door, Shana was already fully dressed. When she saw my eyes were blood red, she couldn't help but reach out and touch my face: "Did you not sleep well last night? Is it because of Miss Gu?"
Pulling her in, I took the opportunity to kiss her hand: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Just wait for me, I'll shave and then I can leave."
"How about we ask the security bureau to look for Gu Yue later, otherwise it would be worrying for her to be a girl outside." Shana said sitting on my bed.
While shaving, I came out of the bathroom and said, "No, with her character, it will be difficult for us to find her if we don't want people to find her. Besides, judging from her expression and performance last night, I feel like she was instigated by someone to do this kind of thing, and now I¡¯m more worried that she can¡¯t kill me, and I don¡¯t know how the person who instigated her will deal with her.¡±
Shana thought of another thing from my words: "If she was instigated by someone, then who is going to kill you? Is it the same person who used the evil killing spell some time ago?"
"I've thought about it too, but now is not the time to deal with it." I touched my chin and saw that the stubble had been shaved off. Then I looked in the mirror. I looked much more energetic in the mirror. I smiled towards the mirror. , then walked to the room and said to Xia Na: "Let's go, the safety of J City is still the most important thing now, put other things aside for now, wait until the matter here is resolved, and then find a way to find out who wants to It¡¯s not good for me.¡±
Xia Na nodded, she put her hands on it, and jumped up from the bed. Her movements were clean and neat: "Don't worry, if anyone wants to do harm to you, I will not let him go first."
After she finished speaking, she waved her fist in front of me. I laughed, grabbed Shana's hand and said, "That's right, I'm your fianc¨¦, how could you let me die?"
Shana's face turned red when she heard this, she threw me away with one hand and ran out the door: "If you don't leave, I won't wait for you."
I couldn¡¯t help but feel funny when I saw her looking at it, and my mood suddenly became much brighter. Even looking at the dark clouds outside the window, which was about to turn into black and yellow, didn¡¯t seem so depressing.
When we got out of the hotel, Ampei had sent a car waiting for us. We needed to get the files of City J. How could we do it without the intervention of the director, Abe, so Xia Na had informed Ampei last night, and he also agreed to send a car this morning. We went to the Archives Bureau, where there are detailed archives of City J, and even some anecdotes are recorded. If we can't find what we need there, then we can't find it anywhere else.
In the city, the number of evil spirits and beasts attracted by the aura is gradually increasing, and Sergeant Huangquan in black can be seen almost everywhere. They are mostly stationed in areas where residential areas are concentrated, with the primary purpose of protecting ordinary people. We are on the way. , from time to time you will see scenes of a large group of monsters and evil spirits fighting with the black-clad Underworld Army. Although the monsters have the upper hand in terms of numbers, they cannot break through the Underworld Army's defense line. The strength of the Underworld Army is determined by the strength of the Underworld Army. This is evident.
Driving all the way, there were no figures with bull-headed and horse-faced figures, but Shana and I felt that two extremely powerful auras appeared in the corners of the city from time to time. It was obvious that the two heads of the Huangquan Army were moving between the cities at high speed, from them As soon as they touched and left, it seemed that there was no opponent in the city that could make them stop for a moment. It seemed that the aura only attracted an ancient demon like Chaos. This can be said to be a great blessing among misfortunes.
When we arrived at the Archives Bureau, there was already an old man of half a hundred years waiting at the door. We got out of the car, and the police officer driving introduced us: "This is Director Qiu of the Archives Bureau. Today, I want to help you two find what they need as soon as possible." Director Qiu and several other colleagues have been guarding the bureau since early in the morning."
After we shook hands with the old man, he led us into the bureau: "Here you two, I have been told by the security bureau about what you are looking for, and I have ordered several colleagues to target j I hope some anecdotes from the city¡¯s past will be helpful to you.¡±
We knew now was not the time to be polite, so we didn't say anything. We just followed the director of the Archives Bureau into a secret room in the building. After Director Qiu entered a series of numbers into the electronic keys on the door, it was enough. The twenty-centimeter-thick steel door opened.
"This is our top-secret archives room. Originally, you two were not allowed to come in and out, but now is an extraordinary period and we can't care about so much. Please come in." Director Qiu led us into this secret room. It's not big, only about a dozen square meters long and wide. There are two rows of computers in the room, and two men are sitting in these two rows.
The position of the computer is constantly moving, opening things one by one that would never be announced to others. "Come over here and take a look." Director Qiu led us to one of the computers. A whole page of titles was displayed on the computer screen, including various fruitless cases and someThere are phenomena that cannot be explained scientifically, and there are even some supernatural events.
"We have too many files here, it's best if you two can provide some key words to facilitate our search." Shana and I looked at each other, and we both said almost at the same time: "Fox!"
"Fox?" Director Qiu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses. He quickly typed these two words on the keyboard, then pressed the Enter key, and a page of information was displayed.
The reason why we choose "fox" as the keyword instead of "fox demon" is because monsters can turn into humans. If we choose the latter, we may not find anything. Instead, we choose the former. If the fox demon lives here forever , then there will always be a time when the original shape will appear. If foxes did appear in J City before, then maybe the places where these foxes often hang out are the hiding places of the fox demon.
"Well, I really didn't expect that there were actually foxes in City J before liberation or even longer." Director Qiu raised his glasses, pointed at the screen and said to us: "Look, these dozen Records show that there were foxes in City J before, some before liberation, some even further back, the furthest can be traced back to the Shang Dynasty."
"Shang Dynasty?" Shana and I looked at each other. During the Shang Dynasty, that was not the time of Shang Zhou. Wasn't that the time when the fox demon's ancestor, Sky Fox Suda, had brought trouble to the world? At that time, there were foxes in J City. What a coincidence.
Director Qiu seemed to have seen something again. He leaned forward slightly in front of the computer: "Well, there is also talk about the Fox Fairy Temple." "Fox Fairy Temple?" Our hearts moved slightly. This thing is becoming more and more reliable. .
"Bureau Qiu, check what the Fox Fairy Temple says?" Shana said quickly.
Director Qiu nodded and entered a series of search commands with both hands. When the page changed, a large amount of information appeared. Director Qiu looked at it line by line and talked to us one by one.
"Well, probably during the Shang Dynasty, there was a large wasteland near Enzhou. Foxes often howled at night, so someone built a fox fairy temple here. They said that after the temple was built, the howling of foxes would no longer be heard. Sheng, isn't this Enzhou where Shanyang District is now?"
"Director Qiu, look down." I said excitedly. Sure enough, foxes appeared in this city so long ago, and there is also a fox fairy temple. Maybe this temple was built by the fox monster for himself. , but if the fox demon had appeared since the Shang Dynasty, it would have been more than a thousand years ago.
"Okay, let's look down." Bureau Qiu moved the mouse down, but was stunned: "It's impossible, why, how come there is such a thing in this j city."
Director Qiu turned back to look at us, but pointed at a location on the screen with one hand. We followed and looked over, and saw the three words "Dajizhong" on the computer screen!
Regarding the legend of Su Daji, in "The Romance of the Gods", the demon fox Su Da was finally captured by King Wu and beheaded. This is something everyone knows, but whether this is the case is unknown. .
Therefore, when we saw the three words "Da Jizhong", our heart couldn't help but beat hard. Since there is a record of "Da Jizhong" in this city, does it mean that Su Da is no longer as described in the book "Fengshen"? It is said that Jiang Ziya was beheaded, but his body was buried here. It is more likely that this "Dajizhong" is just a cover, but there is a thousand-year-old demon living in it?
Director Qiu obviously didn't understand why we were so excited about the words "Da Ji Zhong". He thought that we, like him, were all excited because the character Su Da Ji might be different from what was described in "Feng Shen". But what we don't want to think is something else.
I pulled Shana aside to talk: "Xia Na, this Su Daji really did exist in history."
Shana shook her head and said: "There is indeed a record of this character in history. Of course, it is not the same as what is said in "Feng Shen", but in fact, whether it is Su Daji or Jiang Ziya, these legendary figures, in China There are indeed traces of existence on the earth during these thousands of years.¡±
"I have heard you talk about Tianhu Daji and Jiang Ziya becoming a god before. What are these going on?"
"Those are all legends, facts that will only be regarded as legends by ordinary people." Shana said: "The origin of myths can be traced back to the time when Pangu opened the earth. At that time, the heaven and earth were first divided, and gods, humans and demons lived together in the human world. Later, after the battle of chasing deer, the Yellow Emperor led his gods, people and beasts to open up another space to live in. They were isolated from humans and worshiped as gods. They were the first people in the world to be called gods. existence, let us temporarily call them ancient gods. After the Yellow Emperor and the gods left the world, the world was still in chaos. Although demons can be seen everywhere, there are also some people with great abilities among humans. They are more powerful than ordinary people. They are much more powerful, therefore, these people are calledFor immortality. However, immortals, humans, and demons each occupy their own places in the human world. Among them, immortals occupy famous mountains, beautiful rivers, and blessed places, caves, and heavens as their own immortal caves; while demons occupy deep mountains and old forests, and dangerous places in the world; only humans live there. Relatively safe plains, valleys and other places, but humans have gradually formed countries. After forming countries, humans have the advantage of being ordinary individuals but in large numbers to fight against existences such as immortals and demons, which are individually powerful but single shadows. "
I was confused by what I heard. I didn¡¯t expect it to be like this in ancient times, so I just listened to Shana continue to speak.
