Shen Rufeng and I chatted for a while and then left the conference room with our friends.
Shen Rufeng gave me the freedom to "act cheaply" and had very high authority, but I didn't have to report everything to him, I could just follow my own habits.
How should I put it, although it means a bit "connected" and "privileged", I don't really care about other people's opinions. Moreover, Shen Rufeng also said that I almost turned the tide in the [Battle of the Ghost King of Qixinggang] that year, and even received a badge of honor. Everyone in the company admired me.
I asked the Niubi brothers.
"Da Niu, Er Niu, you have been living in Yucheng for so many years and you are still considered a small local gangster. What do you think?"
Niu Bi thought for a while and replied.
"As Xiao Yuan said, I asked local friends to see what monsters have become famous in Yucheng in the past few hundred years. But Brother Wu, there are dog monsters possessing and killing people in Lianghe Town and even Wujia Village. When the Land God's situation arises, I'm afraid that the entire Da Yu City within the demon king's sphere of influence is not just the small area in the urban area, so the investigation will be very difficult."
I'm a little helpless.
"Yeah, it's definitely not easy! But for some things, we just try our luck after finding a direction. Moreover, colleagues from other action groups will also check from different directions, and they don't just count on our Geng group. How many people are there?"
In Lianghe Town or the entire Fubei County, I will ask Lao Cao, Zhu Cong and their team to help find out what is going on. If you encounter a vicious dog demon possessing you, you will be arrested and imprisoned...
So I arranged for Niu Bi and Niu Deheng brothers to chat with local friends they had met before, while Hu Xiaoyue went to Gele Mountain to find the fat guy Xiaosong and the psychic old pine tree - it had lived a long time and might know something.
I took Madoka with me and planned to go to another place!
…
night.
A cold breeze blew.
I stood in front of the Seven-Stargang Bodhi Vajra Pagoda.
Its shape is like a huge Buddhist pestle standing in the silent darkness.
This place was once built to suppress a large number of ghosts - or to be precise, it was built to suppress the ghost king Dong Wan.
Of course, it is said to be a "lockdown" but it is actually something similar to a "peace agreement".
Dong Wan cannot walk out of the Bodhi Vajra Pagoda at will, and human monks cannot freely set foot in the area near Qixinggang at night. Achieve a state of "checks and balances" with each other.
Unexpectedly, Dong Wan later accidentally obtained a [Black Phantom] ore that greatly increased his power. While the leader of the Five Elements Temple, Situ Jian, plotted against her, she counterattacked, and with overwhelming luck, she directly broke through to the peak and perfect state of the Ghost King, and became one of the most powerful people in the world!
This breaks the balance between the two parties and completely breaks away from the constraints.
Fortunately, Dong Wan was not an evil spirit. She left Qixinggang after having an in-depth conversation with me. From then on, the sea widened and the sky widened, and he traveled around the world.
As for the remaining ghosts, they continue to live in the large "ghost nest" under the Bodhi Vajra Pagoda. There are a lot of them, and there are also quite a few hundred-year-old ghosts...
At this time, in front of the Vajra Tower. Madoka stood on my shoulder and looked around, smashing her mouth.
"Boy Wu, are you sure those old ghosts will be willing to listen to you? You and the female ghost king surnamed Dong are barely acquaintances. It's hard to call them acquaintances, let alone friends."
I said seriously.
"You stupid fat bird, do you know what it means to feel like an old friend at first sight? Before I left, Senior Dong said that he could go to her for help if he had any trouble."
Madoka rolled her eyes.
"Boy Wu, you are very stupid and naive! Do you believe this kind of scene? The world is so big, she is wandering around everywhere, and she didn't give you her contact information, so she can't find her whereabouts. She just treats you casually. Just for a moment."
I chuckled.
"Whether Senior Dong was speaking politely or sincerely, she said this in front of all the ghosts when I was a guest in the Ghost Nest. It doesn't matter what she thinks in her heart, since she said it in person , those ghosts will always give me some respect. It’s not like I’m asking them to help me fight and kill, I’m just visiting and asking about old things from the past.”
These ghosts do not go to the underworld, but stay in the human world. Those old ghosts have been "living" for so many years and should know many legends and stories about Yucheng's past...
"That's true."
Madoka muttered.
I walked forward for a while and came around to the back of the Bodhi Vajra Pagoda.
This is the entrance to the underground ghost lair.
I waved my hand lightly.
A soft breeze flew out and hit a brick somewhere on the tower.
Buzz…
Suddenly, a ripple like a water wave spread.
Click, click!
The position of the base behind the tower began to move and combine like a deformed mechanism, and finally opened to form an arched portal.
call……
A dark wind with a stale smell whirled in from the door.
Here is the door to the underground ghost lair.
In fact, for spiritual beings like ghosts, whether or not there is a physical "door" is of little significance. It's just that the eminent monks who originally built the Bodhi Vajra Pagoda still left such a ritualistic entrance in the form of a formation.
After all, they were not really suppressing Dong Wan, they were just games and negotiations with a warning tone.
Madoka sniffed.
"I can already smell the buffet!"
I:"……"
"Silly fat bird, please don't mess around! Although the ghosts in the ghost nest down here are both good and evil, good and bad, it is still in a peaceful and stable situation. When you get down there, be honest and don't cause trouble. Dong Even without Wan, there are still some old ghosts who are very close to the ghost king level, and their strength is not weak either."
Xiao Yuan is a foodie who not only likes to eat braised pork, wild fish and other human feasts, but also likes to devour all kinds of spiritual and vaginal objects!
The silly bird flapped its wings impatiently.
"So what? As long as they are not the kind that are abnormally strong, the ordinary ghost king is no longer your opponent. The fierce ghost who is just approaching the ghost king is just a warm-up."
"You idiot, you only know how to fight. We are here to ask for information and help, not to kick around!"
"Oh, I know, I know, boy Wu, you are so verbose throughout the day, just like a girl."
"Nonsense! With an unreliable guy like you around, how can I not be verbose?"
While we were bickering, we walked into the road leading to the underground ghost lair.
…
Going deeper into the ground, the yin energy around you becomes heavier and heavier. You can vaguely hear some cries and laughter.
If an ordinary person were here, they would probably wet their pants or faint from fear.
Two gray translucent male ghosts appeared and blocked Madoka and I's path.
asked sharply.
"Who is this person? What are you doing here!"
I didn't deliberately cover up the mana aura naturally emitted by my body, so they could also feel that I was a practitioner.
Although they are just ordinary ghosts, since they are looking for help, there is no need to hold them.
So I smiled and cupped my hands and said.
"Hello, you two! I am Wu Zhong, an old friend of Senior Dong. Before Senior Dong left, I came here several times to meet with Senior. If you two were also present at that time, you should have an impression, right?"
One of the tall and lanky male ghosts suddenly realized what he was doing.
"Oh, it's you! The human monk who knows the Queen. I said that I looked familiar at first glance. But my cultivation is weak, so I sat on the outside when you came."
He suddenly seemed a little embarrassed and felt inexplicably "inferior".
The other male ghost was relatively silent, probably introverted. He glanced at Madoka and I and didn't say much.
I immediately said seriously.
"Hey, Brother Ghost, you can't be so presumptuous about yourself! As the saying goes, the tree of a hug is born from the smallest grain, the nine-story platform rises from the tired soil, and the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Everyone cultivates from a weak child to a strong one. You It's definitely possible. Given time, maybe we can reach the realm of the powerful [King]."
"Really...really? Little Taoist Priest, do you really think so highly of me?"
The tall and thin male ghost looked very excited. It seemed that few people had encouraged him like this.
I nodded.
"Of course!"
Then the conversation changed.
"Brother Ghost, I'm here this time. I have something important to talk to your senior who is now in charge. Can you please show me the way?"
"Well, it's okay. After all, the Queen said before she left that you were our friend. But..."
The tall and lanky male ghost seemed a little hesitant, but he still explained to me in a low voice through gritted teeth.
"Little Taoist Priest, the situation is like this..."
