Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Shelter

We went ashore panting, ragged, and extremely tired. Those soldiers who didn't know the truth for the time being didn't know what happened to us, but good discipline let them know that no matter what task they perform, take care of themselves The mouth is the most important discipline in the army. A Xue said: "When my father and I lived in the snow mountain, we tracked snow leopards as far as the ice pit in the deepest part of the snow mountain. I know what kind of methods the trackers will use. Now we are snow leopards, and they are hunters." I said: "This cannot be equated. You hunted down the snow leopard just to domesticate it, and the three parties chasing us, whether it is the Tianling tribe, the yin and yang scholars, or even the public security department, will use unconventional methods. We Now we're in big trouble."

He Zhuang took off his tattered clothes, wrapped the knife up, and said, "It's useless to be afraid, we must find the regiment leader and Xiao Ma, otherwise they will die." I said: "This is our only goal, but if we want to understand the escape route now, it's not that I'm afraid of death. If something happens to us, the regiment leader and the others will be completely hopeless." He Zhuangjing was bare-chested and covered in tattoos. He looked like a gangster. Passers-by on the road looked sideways and made a detour. I quickly took off a coat for him, and then bought him a hat and clothes. It doesn't fit very well, and the hat doesn't match very well, but there is no time to pay attention to these at this time. In a word, the most important thing is to find out the truth.But how to investigate the truth?Where is the entry point?After all, all this is too illusory for us, and we can’t seem to find the corresponding point at all, because the people who oppose us are not human beings in the normal sense, except of course the police.

I still have some money on me, so I went to have a meal first. At the dinner table, I said, "What should we do? How should we do it? Zhuangzi is all up to you now. We are not familiar with Tianling clan and Yin-Yang scholars." He Zhuang said: "Actually, I'm not familiar with it. After all, I left too early..." While speaking, the police car roared up, He Zhuang's face changed drastically, and as soon as he grabbed the long knife beside him, my heart jumped into my throat, but The police car didn't stop and drove past.It seems that we are heading towards the lake, and we are now in a state of war.He Zhuang said: "This is not the way. We have too many forces to face. We should find a way to eliminate one, at least the police."

I said, "It's up to us to decide? If you don't let them track them down, they won't come?" He Zhuang said: "Do you still remember Ma Tianxing's girlfriend I told you about? She is our only hope now." I said: "How did you see the flaws in her?" He Zhuang said: "The leader told me." I was taken aback and said, "What, there is such a thing? Why didn't the leader tell us?" He Zhuang said: "Xiao Ma loves her very much. If she knows that the other party is an evil general, it's hard to say what will happen, and she can't simply judge. She doesn't like Ma Tianxing, so the team leader didn't talk about it rashly. As for the other party looking for The purpose of the leader is because she hopes that the leader can help her find someone."

I said, "Who are you looking for?" He Zhuang said: "Still an evil general." I was a little confused: "Evil generals seek evil generals, why?" He Zhuang said: "I don't know. Our whole group doesn't have much contact with this kind of people. People who rely on acquired cultivation to improve their individual abilities are not normal people. The fighters of the Tianling clan are the most noble fighters. Their blood Pure, it is impossible to deal with those weird people." As soon as the words fell, Axue pointed forward vigilantly, and saw two tall people walking over from a distance, each carrying a long and generous box on their backs, which did not look like ordinary people at first glance. people.He Zhuang put the knife on the leg under the table, avoided the fabric, held the knife handle and said, "If it is really a warrior of the Tianling tribe, you should go quickly, and I will stop them."

I still want to talk, He Zhuang said: "That's it, what can you help me here? Don't say it's useless, if you can keep one now, it's one." While talking, the two had already walked into the breakfast stall. They were much taller than the average person, especially when they were standing. The person sitting next to them was not even as long as their legs. These two giraffe-like people had grim expressions, We looked around from left to right. We pretended to be eating breakfast as if nothing had happened, but we were extremely alert. However, one of them seemed to glance at me, but there was no response. After a minute or two, the two of them turned around at the same time. walked out.

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, He Zhuang said: "It seems that there must be someone similar to us near here, and the two of them are here to silence." I said: "Those people are usually alone, why are there two here this time? Could it be that the other party has a hard idea?" He Zhuang frowned and said: "If you don't say it, I didn't expect it. According to what you said, I think there is a problem. Tianling warriors never carry out this kind of mission with more than two. The last time we chased and killed us, we knew that there were me and me. Ashe is here, but there is still only one Celestial Spirit warrior coming. If it wasn't for that person with supernatural powers to get in the way, we might have died long ago."

I said, "Unfortunately, I don't know who this person is." A Xue said: "It's useless to know, we are looking for the leader and the pony, we can't put all our energy on dealing with them, can we?" He Zhuang said: "That's right, and compared with us, there is another advantage. At least the Tianling warriors will not deal with you, but it will be really troublesome if you encounter evil generals. We must find a way to defeat him, otherwise everything will be ruined." It's just nonsense." A Xue said: "Let's find Ma Tianxing's girlfriend first. She and I are both women, so there should be room for communication."

He Zhuang said: "It is estimated that the news that we killed those scientific workers has been grasped by the police, and they must have started to act now, so everyone should hurry up." We were about to leave when the mobile phone rang suddenly. He Zhuang's face changed, and he took out a black mobile phone from his pocket. He looked at the number and said, "I never carry a mobile phone." I said: "It must be from those people, we must answer this call." Without the slightest hesitation, He Zhuang connected the phone, but he didn't speak, and the other side was quiet. After a stalemate for a while, He Zhuang hung up the phone, but the call came back after a while, and He Zhuang connected the phone. This time there was still no sound, this time I couldn't help it, I grabbed the phone and said, "Who are you guys, and how are the leader and Xiao Ma doing now?"

After a while, there was a strange and strange laughter from the other end of the phone. The laughter lasted for a long time. I frowned and said, "Are you mentally ill?" Then I hung up the phone, and suddenly I found that both of them were looking at me with their mouths wide open. I immediately knew that I was in trouble, and said, "What's wrong?" After saying that, I reached out and touched my face. A Xue said: "You must not make a fuss." Then she pressed my hand, took out a small mirror from her bosom and handed it to me. Suspiciously, I took the mirror and looked at it, only to see an unusually clear grimace at the base of my ear. I couldn’t tell what kind of ghost it was. The face was round and dark, and the eyes were as big as a copper bell. , with pointed ears, it doesn't look vicious, but it's really weird.I hurriedly tore a piece of napkin and wiped my ears vigorously, but no matter how hard I tried, the color of the grimace did not change at all, instead it became brighter and brighter. I was so angry that I threw the paper ball on the table and said, "This group of pretenders brute."

He Zhuang said: "You can kill them, but don't scold them, remember my words, it will be good for you, they are indeed despicable, but you can't judge them with human ideology and morality, understand? " I said: "But what do they mean by planting this tattoo on my ear? And this phone, the evil general also uses high technology, what the hell." He Zhuang said: "Do you know that the mobile phone has another function besides making calls?" I said, "Are you still sending text messages?" He Zhuang said: "The mobile phone can also detect ghosts, did you know that?" I was taken aback and said, "What, isn't this too ridiculous? If you didn't say this, I really wouldn't believe it." He Zhuang said: "Speaking of it, there is a certain scientific basis. Ghosts themselves are also a kind of substance. Since they are substances, they will have elements, but they are different from humans. Ghosts or those top wizards, their own The magnetic pole response will be very strong, much stronger than that of human beings, and mobile phones will be interfered by them, for example, in a normal area, why is the strength of the original signal received by people using the same mobile phone in the same location different?" I shivered involuntarily and said, "You mean there might be ghosts around them?" He Zhuang nodded and said: "Although ghosts may not be able to use mobile phones, it is entirely possible for evil generals to use mobile phones. They can even transmit their thoughts through mobile phone signals. It is simply too simple to play tricks on your ears." , so you don't have to think about the problems here, although it is difficult for you to accept some inexplicable phenomena, but in the world of evil generals, these phenomena are very common." I said: "You are a member of the Tianling clan, how can you know these issues so well?" He Zhuang said: "The Celestials and wizards are mortal enemies. The battle between the two has lasted for thousands of years. Of course I know many things about them. The one who knows you best must be your enemy." I looked at the ordinary, not gorgeous mobile phone in my hand and said, "Then the other party gave me this mobile phone to influence my thinking?" He Zhuang said: "This phone is not for you." After saying that, he snatched the phone from my hand. I said: "By the way, Zhuangzi, we can save the number on this phone, and then use some means to see if we can find out where he made the call." He Zhuang said: "If you can find out with conventional methods, they are not evil generals." After finishing speaking, he opened his mobile phone to look, and his face changed, "It's really weird, there is a number." A Xue said: "Although I don't know what's going on for the time being, but since there is a number, it means that at least the caller is a normal person." We encountered more and more strange things after we had eaten earlier, we didn’t dare to delay any longer, we paid the money and left quickly, because we didn’t know whether the police had started chasing us, so we didn’t dare to take transportation casually.We walked around Jiujiang City, strangely, there was no tense atmosphere, even if a police car appeared, it was just performing ordinary official duties, if the death of the three scientists had really been discovered, then it would definitely not be the case Peaceful. Without further ado, since we had a chance to escape, of course we had to run, so we quickly bought a long-distance bus ticket and started on the road. As long as we leave Jiujiang City, everything will be easy.In the evening we arrived in Wuhan smoothly. We wanted to buy a train ticket. By chance, when we passed by a truck driver, we heard him chatting with someone. This time, the escort to Beijing fell ill and had to go alone. We were complaining, we hurried forward to negotiate with him, and gave him all the money we had, more than 1,000 yuan, and he was happy to have both money and someone to chat with, so we got into his car and drove from the Beijing-Zhuhai Expressway Go all the way to Beijing. We walked more than 1,000 kilometers for two and a half days. On the afternoon of the third day, we entered the West Ring Road of Beijing, and the heart that was always hanging was finally relaxed.I said, "I thought it was going to be a shopping trip, but I didn't expect to come back so easily." A Xue said: "Brother Luo, don't relax so early, I don't think things are that simple." I said: "It's good to come back anyway, at least we can find helpers to look for the team leader and the others with us. By the way, Zhuangzi, didn't you say that Ma Tianxing's girlfriend is an evil general? Should we be wary of her? " He Zhuang said: "Evil generals are divided into evil and generals. The one on the shoe mountain is the evil, and Ma Tianxing's girlfriend is the general. It is not a matter of one thing. If we can get her help, we will be more confident." I said, "Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and find her." After finishing speaking, he was in a hurry to leave when the phone rang again. He Zhuang scolded: "This gang of rotten things is endless." After finishing speaking, he took out the phone, and a very familiar voice came through after he connected. Come here, it turned out to be—the team leader's. He said: "Zhuang Zi, Luo Zi, since you are back, report to the unit immediately, I will wait for you." He Zhuang didn't say a word for a long time. After a long silence, the team leader hung up the phone. We looked at each other, and He Zhuang said, "What should we do about this?" I looked at A Xue and said, "Otherwise, don't go, Zhuang Zi and I will go back and have a look." A Xue said: "Why don't you let me go, your kung fu is not as good as mine, now is not the time to be brave." He Zhuang said: "Xiaoxue is right, but this matter is definitely not simple, you must be careful." We took a taxi with mixed feelings, and when we arrived at the gate of the unit, we asked the uncle in the reception room to borrow money for the toll and gave it to the driver, asking him, "Uncle Lu, when did the team leader come back?" The old man said: "I came back a day earlier than you, and I came back with Xiao Ma, Xiao Ma, now your gang of four are together again." We were taken aback, and saw Ma Tianxing came out from behind the door of the reception room with two brooms. We immediately became alert, and saw that there was nothing strange about his expression, but there was always something wrong, and the two sides looked at each other. After a while, Ma Tianxing said softly: "When you come back, go to the head of the group quickly, and I have been waiting for you for a long time." I immediately regretted it. We did this matter too hastily. We should first find Ma Tianxing's girlfriend before making a plan. Let us face them. I guess we are not opponents. But now that we have reached this point, it is too late to leave up.We had no choice but to bite the bullet and go upstairs with him, and when we arrived at the office of Commander Chen, we saw him sitting on a leather chair, staring at the door motionlessly, his eyes were obviously darkened, as if he hadn't slept for a long time. Seeing us, he nodded and said, "Thank you, everyone, sit down." We had no choice but to sit on the sofa opposite him, and the team leader said, "How about it, things should be almost done, right?" The three of us looked at each other, He Zhuang meant to let me speak, I immediately said: "We just arrived in Beijing, I don't know what you are talking about?" The group leader smiled and said, "Of course you know what I'm asking you about, don't pretend to be confused." I said, "What about our people, what have you done to them?" The leader blinked his eyes strangely and said: "You don't need to worry about it. It's useless to worry too much. As I said, you should exchange something for your companion. If you really care about your companion's life, You should hear my words in your heart." I said: "But at least let me make sure that the companions are still safe?" The leader smiled grimly, and said: "We are not kidnappers, your people are definitely fine, but if you want to play tricks, I guarantee that not only your companions, but you will die together, so don't worry about it , let’s think about what to do.” He Zhuang said: "Who are you?" The head of the group said: "Is it useful to tell you? I don't have an ID card. Even if you go to the police station, you won't be able to find out." After saying that, he smiled sarcastically, He Zhuang drew out his long knife like lightning, crossed the tea table and came to the head, swung the knife obliquely, the blade shone with colorful lights strangely, while the head looked at him with a relaxed expression and remained motionless.Just when I thought a tragedy was about to happen, He Zhuang's saber stopped above the scalp of the leader. His eyes were red, and the hand holding the saber trembled slightly. character. The leader even lit a cigarette leisurely, took a sip and said: "I will definitely die with this knife, but I assure you that your companions will have no problems, which means that my death is for nothing. So you can do it, right?" He Zhuang's knife still didn't strike, the head of the regiment grabbed his hand and said sharply: "Do it, since you want to kill someone, don't hesitate, what is a human life?" He Zhuang withdrew his hand, walked to the door and said: "This method is nothing more than to monitor us, but I want you to make it clear that the dragon is in the Longtan, which is the most secret place in the world. Everyone knows where Longtan is, except for Wuhua God of War, but do you think it is possible for him to tell me this?" The head of the group stubbed out the cigarette butt and said: "That's your business. In short, as long as there are dragons in this world, you must find them. As for how to find them, it's up to you." The chief suddenly made a strange face at me, but He Zhuang didn't see it, and I didn't understand what he meant. He Zhuang winked at us, and the three of them came out. When they left, Uncle Lu greeted us politely, and asked what task the team leader had arranged for us. I said, "Look for the dragon." The old man was taken aback and said, "Do dragons really exist?" We left without saying a word and got on the road. Ashe said, "Should we go to Brother Ma's girlfriend? What if she can help us?" I was about to tell He Zhuang about the strange grimace of the head of the regiment, when suddenly under the street lamp I saw a fat man walking towards us, although I couldn't see the face clearly for a while, but I could tell from his size that he was the one who chased and killed us The Tianling Tribe warrior who was born, after the leader helped him, he gave up the task of chasing and killing us. I didn't expect to see him again today. He Zhuang said: "Everyone be careful, if this person wants to attack, we will all die." After all, I really wanted to back away, when I suddenly heard a light slap, it was almost late at night, we could hear any slight sound clearly, turned around and saw two strong men stopping It was the two people we met when we were having breakfast in Jiujiang City. He Zhuang drew out the knife, Axue took out two bone knives, but the two of them looked at us motionless.After a while, the fat man approached, holding a big pear in his left hand, and wolfing down half a piece of roast duck in his right hand, he nodded at us with his mouth puffed out, he didn't look like he was going to kill someone, I felt a little more settled. After swallowing what was in his mouth, he said: "Hello, it seems that there are a few people missing. I heard that they were arrested?" I didn't expect their news to be so well-informed. I said: "The other party is the subordinate of Yin-Yang Scholar, and also your sworn enemy." The fat man smiled and said: "You don't need to provoke dissension, we are here to handle business, but I would like to remind you, I heard that the Spirit King is here, although I don't know how they found the Spirit King, but you must be careful." He Zhuangda was taken aback and said, "What, the Peacock Spirit King is here? They actually managed to find the Spirit King? But for us, as for?" It was the first time I saw He Zhuang's reaction so intensely, and said, "Who is the Peacock Spirit King? Is it scary?" The fat man stopped talking and started to eat. He Zhuang sighed and said: "He is one of the four elders of the Tianling clan, his status is only lower than the Wuhua God of War, and he is also one of the most powerful guardians of the Tianling clan. A symbol of dragon horns." The fat man patted the big box on the back and said: "He is the leader of our big axe, but he has been missing for many years. I didn't expect to be found by the people of the Tianling clan this time, and I heard that he came here." Before we finished speaking, there was a clear meow, and we followed the sound.I saw a huge dark blue Gu cat standing on top of a two-story building not far away. Under the moonlight, its eyes shone with a strange and gloomy white light, and its beard was as sharp as a blade, and its roots stood straight. . The fat man threw away the food in his hand and said, "Get ready, here comes the idea." At this time, I saw the head of our office building not far away walking out of the office, looking at us from the balcony, the cigarette in his hand flickering, I didn't expect the battle between the two superhuman races I heard about in the past Instantly.At this time, the fur on the Gu cat's back was all fluffed up, and the three Heavenly Spirit warriors each took out their bright battle axes. At this time, the blue Gu cat didn't wait any longer, and stretched out its body, covering them like a dark cloud. When it got down, three black lights suddenly brightened, and the three people and one cat could not be seen clearly in an instant. We were walking on the road, He Zhuang said: "This damn mobile phone, I put it in the office, but I didn't expect it to appear in my pocket again?" I said: "Zhuangzi, just now you said that there are four elders with high status in the Tianling clan, who are they?" He Zhuang said: "They are all the best fighters of the Tianling clan. Because the saints of the Tianling clan use the four weapons representing the dragons, the person who uses the corresponding weapons best will become an elder. The big ax is the Peacock Spirit King, the bow and arrow is a person who claims to be the most accurate archer in the world, and the long knife you should be able to guess who it is." I looked at him in disbelief and said, "Could it be you?" He Zhuang said: "Of course it can't be me, it's my father, that is, the knife you saw; as for the sharp sword representing the dragon's eye, it is the only one among the four elders who entered and exited the Longtan as the dragon's personal guard, so I found it. With this person, we will know the whereabouts of Longtan." I said: "But it shouldn't be easy to use threats and lures, right?" He Zhuang gave a rare smile and said: "If the sharp sword really exists, then I'm afraid even the evil general is no match for him, just because we can threaten him, you underestimate the dragon's bodyguard too much. " A Xue said: "Brother He, I don't know much about you, but I just heard you say that those who use bows and arrows claim to be the most accurate archers in the world. What about number one in the world? Even if I use a hidden weapon, I have to be sure to hit the target with a very high hit rate? Could it be that he is better in other places?" He Zhuang said: "I don't know, the four elders are all enigmatic characters, they rarely show up, except for the Peacock Spirit King who joined the Sky Spirit Clan for a special reason, the rest have to be solved by yourself to find them." For example, if you want to find the leader of the archers, you must find the most accurate archer in the world, as for how to find it, it depends on you." I said, "Then what puzzles do the other two have?" He Zhuang said: "Lijian himself lives near Longtan. If you find him, you will find Longtan. The place where he is is the most mysterious place of the Tianling clan. As for the sword..." He Zhuang hesitated for a while. , Cai said, "My father is dead, he was killed by his own compatriots, and my mother, they even wanted to kill me, but a mysterious person saved me, I still don't know why." I was a little suspicious and said: "Didn't you say that you have lost your memory? How can you remember the past so clearly?" He Zhuang sighed and said, "I don't want to hide the matter now. I don't have amnesia at all, but I plan to take revenge alone. Because I don't want to implicate you, I lied that I have amnesia, but at this point, The first thing I have to do is to find the head, other things are not important, so it’s okay to say it.” It's no wonder that He Zhuang always looks bitter and bitter. No one would feel good when his parents were killed. He didn't expect him to experience such a heart-wrenching scene.I don't know what to say.Because now is not the time to comfort people, the situation we are facing is very serious, we don’t know how to rescue the regiment leader and Ma Tianxing, and we cannot fight against any of the Tianling warriors chasing and killing us, let alone the Peacock Spirit King who has not yet met .And we don't have the ability to grasp any of the mysteries, whether it's Longtan, or looking for those mysterious Celestial warriors. And the troubles don't stop there. Originally, we thought that the illusions arranged by the evil general on the island were used to frame us, but now it seems that is not the case.They just asked us to get out of the island as soon as possible and come back to carry out the mission, and they used their own abilities to create a fake group leader and Ma Tianxing. This would not only make it easier to monitor us, but also prevent us from going to the principal and others for help.Because the leader is alive, even if the principal can capture people's hearts, these two are not human at all. So it seems that the only person we can turn to is Ma Tianxing's mysterious girlfriend, and she is also our only hope.But before going to her, we must figure out two things. First, where is she now?Because Ma Tianxing never said where she was from; secondly, what was her real purpose of getting close to Ma Tianxing?Although she doesn't seem to be that kind of dark wizard, once her own abilities go beyond the normal range, it's hard to say whether her personality will change. The three of them were frowning. It seems that the biggest lie of this century is "three cobblers are as good as Zhuge Liang".A cobbler is a cobbler, even if it doesn't stink, even if there are more than three, it is impossible to compare with Zhuge Liang. In a park in the western suburbs of Beijing, the three of us sighed helplessly as we looked at the dark but star-studded sky.There is no clue, it seems to be in a fog, but we can know the result. This is what troubles us the most. A Xue said: "Brother Luo, you don't have to be so troubled. I think if I am really a member of the Celestial Clan, they will help us sooner or later. It's just a matter of time. They are such a smart group. Can't find out the truth?" I said: "You can't say that what you said is unreasonable, but what should we do now? The yin and yang scholars forced us to find dragons, but dragons are so easy to find? They have such great skills and can't find them. Can you find it? This is very unreasonable, Zhuangzi, what do you think?" He Zhuang just said "Oh" and didn't express any opinion. I said, "It's really annoying. I don't think the yin and yang scholar is a smart person. He found us to do this kind of thing blindly. It's not the same as kidnapping a poor man. Do you want a ransom of hundreds of millions? It is unreasonable." He Zhuang said: "Don't worry about them. Our main task is not to find the dragon, but how to get the leader and the pony out. If you understand this, you will be less troubled." What he said was right to the point, and this is indeed the truth. After thinking about it, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Zhuangzi, we all forgot one thing. There is a number on the phone." After hearing this, He Zhuang sat up from the ground reflexively and said, "I really forgot if you didn't tell me, this is indeed a very important clue." But Ah Xue said: "Don't be too impulsive, why did the other party leave a phone number? This is very doubtful in itself, this phone is not an ordinary phone, no normal person would use it, do ghosts still need to use this kind of phone number?" way to communicate?" I said: "I can't control so much. We have few clues. Since we can find one, we can't give up easily. In fact, for us, where is there any trap? Any party wants to kill us It’s all so easy, do we need to use such a complicated method?” He Zhuang said: "Luo Zi's words make sense. We have too few clues to choose from. Since we have them, we need to investigate." I said, "But how to check?" He Zhuang said: "Look for the relevant departments. Since we haven't committed a crime, we can of course look for them openly. The yin and yang scholars will not stop us. They need us to look for the dragon." Ah Xue saw that our two opinions were so consistent, so she didn't say anything, and said: "Anyway, you must pay attention to safety, we are the only hope for the survival of the regiment leader and Brother Ma." I pretended to be relaxed and smiled at her and said, "Don't worry, we will do this no matter what." After waiting for a long time, the sky turned from dark to white, and gradually there were more and more pedestrians on the road. I said, "I can find someone to handle this matter. There is a person named Zhao Qi from the Special Mission Administration Bureau who has a little friendship with me." Without further delay, we went to Zhao Qi's place. Zhao Qi, who was waiting at the door to go to work, explained his purpose, and his face changed: "What, someone dares to kidnap Lao Chen and come to ask for ransom? It's the opposite God, do you want me to find a helper to teach this kid a lesson?" I said: "That's unnecessary, the other party is not a normal person, and it won't help if you go there. If you can help me, I will be very grateful." Zhao Qi didn't talk nonsense, and took us to the relevant technical department, and launched a follow-up investigation on this phone number. The information showed that this number was really registered by someone with an ID card, and it was a person named Chang Qingyue.We then looked for it according to the home address on the ID card. Unexpectedly, although I answered the call in Jiujiang City, the other party was a resident of an ordinary residential area in Beijing.When we arrived at our destination, we didn't rush to knock on the door, but walked around the house.The house did not draw the curtains, and through the glass windows, I could see the dilapidated interior of the house, the light was very dark, and the patio on the balcony was full of rubbish, as if it was a waste collector. When we knocked on the door, a dirty old man came out with a choking cigarette in his mouth. I said, "Master, are you Chang Qingyue?" The old man was a bit deaf, and I said it several times before he could hear clearly. As soon as I spoke, he coughed violently, then spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm, wiped his mouth and said, "This man died a long time ago, he hanged himself." After finishing speaking, I was about to close the door. I hurriedly stopped him and said, "Master, can you please tell us in detail? We are members of the security department, and we are here to investigate." The old man said: "Even if you are the leader, I can't control it. If someone dies, I have nothing to do with it. Besides, I don't know him very well." I said: "Then why do you live in his house..." Before he finished speaking, the old man had already closed the door. Axue said: "What should I do?" I thought for a while and said, "Go to the neighborhood committee to find out about the situation." I found the neighborhood committee where this community was located and explained my purpose. The staff were quite enthusiastic and immediately started investigating Chang Qingyue.After a while, we found the information we needed, and the remarks column read: "Died by suicide in 1995, hanged in the house." It seems to be the same as what the old man said, I said: "May I ask if this information can clearly and unmistakably explain that this is how he died? There will be no mistakes, right?" The staff member said: "Absolutely, I was still in high school when Chang Qingyue died, but since I was transferred to work here, Chang Qingyue is the person I am most familiar with. Although he is dead, but because of the house business relationship, a lot of things happened, and we did a lot of mediation work. Because people were hanged there, and people who didn’t know it made a lot of noise and asked to check out, until finally it was sold to a scavenger at a low price Yes, this matter is over. In fact, people have psychological effects, and I think that person is living well now." It turned out to be the case, I thought for a while and said, "Then who is the buyer and seller of his house?" The other party thought for a while and said: "Chang Hong is Chang Qingyue's only daughter, and she is the only legal heir of this house, because Chang Qingyue's wife passed away long ago." After leaving the neighborhood committee, I said, "In 1995, there was no such SIM card at all. That was the era of mobile phones. Since Chang Qingyue died, how was this number registered?" He Zhuang took out the phone and said, "It seems that we need to call back. Since someone called, someone should answer it." After all, I dialed back the number, and the number was actually connected. After a while, someone answered the phone, but no one spoke, just like the first time we dialed this number, there was a loud noise coming from the receiver. He Zhuang covered the receiver and said, "This should be the wind." As soon as the voice fell, there was a gloomy and strange laughter, and then the phone was cut off. I looked at He Zhuang's ear, and there was no little devil's head like mine. He Zhuang said: "If I were an ordinary person, I will definitely think that the other party is pretending to be a ghost, but it is very difficult to say in the current situation." A Xue said: "I once heard from my father that time and space disorders often occur in this world, and scenes that should not belong to this world appear. Maybe this call is not a call from the human world at all. It is receiving another call." A signal to the world." Hearing this, I shivered involuntarily. He Zhuang gave me a dissatisfied look and said, "Nothing is impossible for us now. What should we do now, go find that Chang Hong?" This was our only clue. We found out where Chang Hong was, and started looking for her again. Fortunately, she was still a human being, so we found her without much effort.This is a woman in her 30s, with a fat body and big hands and feet. She looks like an authentic housewife, very simple.We explained the purpose of our visit, and she didn't seem too surprised, and said: "Since my father committed suicide, there are indeed a lot of strange things in that house, and I know it too, so I didn't dare to live in it, so I sold it. But those people I also encountered these things, so I quarreled with me and asked to check out. I didn’t hide that person the last time, and the house was dealt with very cheaply. As for you saying that my dad registered a mobile phone number with his ID card, I相信你们所说的，但是帮不了你们什么。因为自从搬到这里来后，一切就都结束了，什么异常情况都没有。” 我道：“既然这样能让我们见见您父亲的样子吗？”我的想法是如果常清月通过某种特殊的手段还存留在这个世界上，那么至少我们应该知道他的样子，可是当我看到了常清月的照片后，却让我的头发嗡一声竖了起来，因为他就是那个给我们开门的老头。 我发愣了半天，直到何壮暗中推了我一把，这才反应过来道：“买你房子的人今年多大年纪？” 常红道：“和我差不多，三十多岁，他也是孤身一人，如果有孩子，没人愿意进那个屋子的。” 我道：“他有没有父亲或是家人同住呢？” 常红淡淡地笑道：“一定是我父亲给你开的门吧？” 我道：“你怎么知道的，确实是这样，难道这一切你都知道？” 常红道：“这不是什么了不起的事情，我父亲经常给人开门。” 听了这句话我身上一阵阵发凉，看来常红对于人和鬼的界限并不是那么在意，否则不会用这种语气来描述这种事情，可她为什么这样呢？ 看着我目瞪口呆的样子，常红道：“没什么好奇怪的，我们这个家族从老太爷那辈开始就是寻头客。其实现在做这件事情的人很多，只是不像湘西赶尸人那么会炒作，把假的说成真的。寻头客是真事，不过越是真事越不能随便乱说。既然我祖上四代都是做寻头客的，面对这种事情我当然不会觉得奇怪了，其实离开那栋屋子就是因为我不想做寻头客。” 我道：“什么叫寻头客？” 常红道：“我不知道，因为不做这行的人不会知道这行里面发生的事情，我父亲从来没有和我说过。在我很小的时候他就死了，我也不知道为什么，但是可以肯定一点，他绝对不是自己想死。” 说起她父亲死亡的原因，常红也没有显示出丝毫悲痛的神色，就好像在说别人的事情一样。我估计这可能与她从小生长的环境有关，如果她的父亲真是做这种阴阳界的活计，那么孩子的性格会变得非常阴森，心情不会有大悲大喜。 何壮道：“寻头客是一种阴客，我们这里有时候发现的头颅或是尸体，其实并不是凶案现场，那是走错了路的阴客，也就是常说的鬼。既非魂也非魄，鬼就是鬼。寻头客就是在人发现它们之前，找到它们并送它们回去，万一阴客的身体被发现送去火化，那么是不能复生的。当然之前我一直以为这只是传说，没想到居然是真的。” 我倒吸了一口气道：“难道这个世界上真有这么诡异的职业？” 何壮道：“当然有了，死亡并不代表生命的终结，恰恰相反，那是生命以另一种形式开始延续。除非你遇到终结者，否则没有人会在这个世界上消亡。” 常红看了何壮一眼道：“你也知道这些？” 何壮点点头，没说话，常红想了想让我们进了屋子，道：“看在你们没有把我当成疯子，我就请你们进屋里坐会儿，不过有个条件，别再说我父亲的事情了，我不知道，也不想再谈。” 看来有一个寻头客父亲实在太让她感到阴郁了，所以常红本身并不像个正常人，当然这样其实才恰恰说明她“正常”。 只见不大的屋子里凉气飕飕，总让我有种阴森森的感觉。常红给我们每人倒了一杯水，上面漂着几根廉价的茶叶，她道：“你们为什么来找我我知道，不过我确实没法子给你们更多的消息。其实我知道父亲一直没有安稳地回到他应该去的地方，但是这与我没有任何关系。我不想选择他那种生活，寻头客最后全都不得好死。曾经我也爱过一个男人，但是他知道了我家里的情况后就离开了我，后来他莫名其妙地死了，我当然知道是谁干的，所以我非常恨我父亲。他生下了我，却毁了我的一生，我们这种人不能接近正常人，不能有正常人的生活，我们这一生注定是活着的死人，你们能理解我的感受吗？” 我们当然能理解了，沉默了一会儿，何壮道：“你需要我们做些什么事情吗？” 常红道：“不需要，我早就习惯了，不过希望你们不要因为我父亲的事情来打搅我，我和他除了血缘没有任何关系，如果可能我会诅咒他的。” 没想到一个女儿居然能恨父亲到这种地步，不禁让人叹息。事到如今，继续下去对我们也没有意义了，便起身告辞。出了屋子便觉阳光明媚，气氛立马就不一样了。阿雪道：“刚才那位大姐真可怜，碰到这样的父亲确实让人不能接受。女孩子本来胆子就小，他还带些头颅尸体回家，这算什么意思吗？” 何壮道：“没有人可以选择自己的父亲，你只是运气好，但是总有运气不好的人。” 谈谈说说出了院子，我们走了几步，忽然都觉得不对劲了。往回退了几步，只见这个小区旁边出现了一条奇怪的小巷，之前这里绝对没有别的路，我记得清清楚楚。而且此时阳光正一片明媚，唯独这条小巷阴森森的，就像乌云遮天蔽日一样，没有一丝光亮透出，刺骨的冷风一阵阵地透出来，侵人肌肤。何壮皱紧了眉头，手已经握住了腰旁暗藏的长刀，不过他没有贸然行动，而是拉住了身旁一个过路的人指着那条阴森的小巷道：“师傅，你认识这条路吗？” 那个人表情极度怪异地上下打量何壮一眼，赶紧就走，嘴里还道：“神经病。” 何壮随即对我们道：“只有我们能看到这条路。” 我惊讶万分地道：“那我们怎么办？” 何壮道：“还能怎么办，没必要给自己找麻烦。” 说罢往前走去，过了没一个街口，我们居然又看到了这条小巷，往前走了没几步，这条小巷再一次出现。何壮道：“妈的，这帮孤魂野鬼还没完没了了。” 说罢就要拔刀，我一把按住他的手道：“这可是在马路上，当心牵扯无辜的人。” 何壮虎着脸道：“我进去看看，你们等着我。” 我道：“那不行，咱们现在谁也不能离开谁，好互相有个照应。” 听我这么说，何壮拍了拍我的肩膀道：“万事小心。” 说罢当先而入，进了小巷后他一把抽出了自己的长刀，只见刀身古怪地泛着隐隐青光。当走在最后的阿雪彻底进入后，小巷立刻变得更加阴暗起来，本来的入口消失不见了，我们站在一个巨大的院子中间，这是一个用竹子编成的巨大的房子，四四方方就好像某个少数民族的建筑风格，但是一时之间我想不起来这属于哪个民族的建筑了。 竹子是青色的，就好像刚摘下来那么新鲜，甚至上面还有露水，其中一根挑着一面长长的锦旗，上书一个“酒”字。而院子里每层的窗户虽然都是洞开的，里面却黑黝黝的啥都看不见。我们非常警惕地看着周围，只见东面的楼层之下有一个黑黝黝的大门，外面也如窗户里的屋子那样比墨都黑。 我们正在犹豫是不是通过这个门口出去，却见一个人影渐渐走了过来。何壮握紧刀把道：“千万小心，这个时候出现的绝对不会是人。” 过了一会儿黑暗中出现了一个身材高大健硕到简直让人叹为观止的人。他身高在2米以上，穿着一条黑色的丝质的短打裤，脚上蹬着一双元宝布鞋，却精赤着上身，肌肉横生，虎背熊腰，长发虬髯，左手扛着一把精光闪闪的大斧，斧头处鲜血淋漓滴落在地，一看就是那种凶神恶煞的凶鬼，更让人不可思议的是他左边腰上居然悬挂着两个血肉模糊的头颅。 从我们身边经过的时候他眼睛都没有眨一下，不知道是因为没有看见我们，还是我们并不存在于他的世界，一切只是我们的幻觉。 院子中有几排木椅木桌，他坐到其中一张，将斧子往地上一放，只听咣的一声脆响，余音不断。显然这斧子是用特殊材料所制，而地上也被他砸出来一个小坑，碎石屑横飞。真不知道他是不是从地狱里跑出来的凶鬼，单看这种气势也不是人所能有，况且在这种地方，除了我们绝对不会有人出现。 何壮却小声道：“他是人，我的刀没有变化，如果这里有鬼……”话音未落，那柄刀身上开始出现诡异的字符，就像何壮身上的文身一般。 只听一声清脆的猫叫，我现在对这种声音基本上是落下了心理阴影，虽然声音很轻柔，但还是让我的心房不停地抖动起来。循声望去只见屋顶上不知道什么时候出现了两只蛊猫，我立刻就想到了逃，可是现在四角已封，我都不知道出口在哪儿。与此同时黑暗的屋子里，开始隐隐有青光透出，每个房间一对，如果没猜错应该是眼睛发出的光线。 这时那个大汉粗声道：“都死光了，给老子上酒菜。” 声音震得我们耳膜嗡嗡作响，看来确实是人无疑。这就真奇怪了，这种诡异的地方怎么还会有人出现呢？而且看样子他好像还熟门熟路，难不成这也是什么阴客之类的？ 我正在胡思乱想，一个身着麻黄粗布衣衫的小二端着一个餐盘，满脸堆笑地走了出来。不过虽然这里光线阴暗，但还是能看出他脸色铁青，嘴唇丝毫没有血色，瞳孔乌黑一团，没有瞳仁，他笑道：“客官几位？” 大汉一拍桌子道：“你他妈的长眼睛只是看茅坑的，老子身边还有第二个人吗？” 小二满脸赔笑道：“是，是，客官需要些什么呢？” 壮汉道：“一份卤牛肉，一罐老酒，快上！老子饿死了。” 小二面露难色道：“客官，您还是换个吃的吧，现在这个时候小店可不敢供应肉食，要不然先用花生米下酒？” 壮汉呵呵笑道：“真是笑话，老子吃肉吃了几百年，早忘了那些地里长的玩意儿是什么滋味了，今天你居然让我吃这些？娃儿，你这个生意还想不想做了？” 小二连忙点头道：“是，是，我立刻就去办。”说罢丝毫不敢耽搁，进去切了一大块熟牛肉和一罐老酒，牛肉香气四溢，我肚子在这种诡异的环境里不争气地咕噜响了一声，何壮和阿雪同时看了我一眼，我脸一红，装作什么都不知道。 这时壮汉呵呵笑道：“看来这里除了我还有人也饿了，那位要吃的小兄弟，也别客气了，过来陪我喝一杯如何？” 我左右看看，估计他是在对我说话，道：“我没找你要吃的。” 壮汉道：“没错，你虽然没开口，但是你的肚子说话了，我能听得懂。” 说话间一只又黑又粗的蛊狗不知什么时候出现在了两只蛊猫身边，它血红的眼睛盯着坐在院子中的壮汉，伸出的血红舌头不自禁地一大滴口水滴了下来。壮汉似乎无意识地把菜向旁边移了移，口水啪嗒一声落在了桌面上，他转过头来，铜铃一般的大眼望着我道：“怎么，不给面子？还是怕酒里有毒？坐下来陪我喝两杯，在这种地方能吃到卤牛肉很不容易。” 说罢放了一个碗到右手处，揭开泥封口，倒了满满一碗酒，接着抬起酒坛鲸吞牛饮地喝了一大口，顿时院子里弥漫起一阵淡淡的酒香。接着他撕了一大块牛肉，张口大嚼起来，这时蛊猫和蛊狗都叫唤起来，看样子是被食物的香气引诱得把持不住了。可是壮汉似乎对身边的危险毫不在意，自顾自地吃着，还不住地示意我过去陪他喝酒。 何壮道：“你就过去坐着，看他到底有什么花样，但是食物绝对不要吃，这里面的东西都不是正常玩意儿。” 说罢他们两人护着我走到了壮汉旁边，我坐了下去，他大咧咧地道：“吃肉、喝酒，千万别客气，我知道你饿了。对了，这个小姑娘是谁？” 我看了阿雪一眼，没有说话，壮汉也没有追问。他食量、酒量都很惊人，一会儿工夫就把酒喝光了，牛肉也吃了一大半。看我一动不动，他笑道：“吃啊，没什么好怕的，这种地方的酒店不比你在外面看到的差。” 话音刚落，猫和狗实在忍不住了，从屋顶上嗖地蹿了下来，落在壮汉的身后。我看得仔细，刚要提醒他，壮汉忽然暴喝一声道：“几个牲口，敢在老子面前放肆！”简直如霹雳一般响亮，我猝不及防被吓得跳了起来。三个天灵族战士合力都无法杀死的蛊猫居然就被他这一声暴喝，吓得一溜烟顺着院子里的柱子爬上了屋顶。那条巨大如狮子的蛊狗也是夹着尾巴，哼唧着朝门口跑去，没一会儿就消失在黑暗中。 壮汉道：“怕什么，坐下吃饭。”接着扭头道，“小二，你眼睛瞎了，没看到老子面前的酒菜全吃光了？” 小二畏畏缩缩地又端了一大盆熟牛肉和一坛酒走了上来，放在桌子上立马就退了出去。我们都是惊疑不定望着这个凶神恶煞一般的巨人，不知道他究竟是什么人，到底想对我们怎么样。就在这个时候，一间屋子里有个黑黝黝的物体钻了出来。原来看似漆黑一团的屋子居然因为里面一种奇怪的生物遮住了光源，等它出来后屋子里隐隐有火光透出。 何壮手上的刀身字符越来越清晰，他警惕地握刀看着黑颜色的物体道：“这也是阴客的一种，他们专门靠吸食光线为食，是一种非常恶心的生物，但是只有邪将才能分辨出这种生物并饲养。这是一条邪将创造的阴森小巷，其实看到那些蛊猫我就应该猜到。” 壮汉喝了一口酒道：“没想到你知道的还不少，既然知道这里是邪将的地盘，你们干吗还进来？” 我们警惕地望着他，因为不是邪将很难相信人类中有这样的人，他面无表情地看着我们，似乎没有动手的打算。我试探着问道：“你究竟是什么人？” 壮汉道：“你没必要知道我是谁，但是你们必须知道自己这些行为到底是为什么，不要做莫名其妙的事情，你们都还年轻，不希望就这么死了吧？” 何壮哼了一声道：“杀我们只怕也不是那么容易。” 壮汉哈哈笑道：“小娃，你连一个邪将都对付不了，还敢说这种大话，凭什么呢？” 何壮道：“除非你是一个邪将，否则普通人不可能胜过这些拥有修炼秘法的人。” 壮汉道：“那是你这么认为，曾经不知道又有多少邪将想要我的命，可最后死的全是他们。” 从这句话可以判断这个人不是邪将了，不知道为什么我会如此信任他，因为凭他的气度、本领，我觉得他实在没必要骗人。道理很简单，他给人的感觉就不是一般人。 何壮没说话，不过看表情他似乎有些不相信。壮汉道：“你们只要记住一点，以后不要去做这些莫名其妙的事情就好，不熟悉的地方不要去，那不是一种好的习惯。” 阿雪道：“可是我们真的走投无路了，每一方的人都想对付我们，谁碰到这种事情都没有办法。” 壮汉道：“你们可以选择置身事外。为什么要轻易进入这个世界上最黑暗的地方？以你们的能力那就是自寻死路。” 阿雪道：“因为我们的同伴被人抓了，我们必须要救人。” 壮汉道：“这是你们的使命吗？” 我道：“不是，可我们必须去做这件事情。因为那是我们的朋友，我们不能放弃自己的朋友。” 壮汉道：“是吗？我给你们开个眼。”说罢他大声道，“小二，你给我滚过来！” 店小二屁颠颠地跑了过来道：“客官，您有什么吩咐？” 壮汉眼睛里精光迸射，他一把抓住小二的手道：“我想借你这身肉用一下。” 小二脸色一变道：“客官，您真会开玩笑，身上的肉……” 他话音未落忽然银光一闪，壮汉出手如风，已经用斧子将小二拦腰斩成两半。我们还没有来得及惊呼出声，却见那半截有腿的身体扑啦啦跑了出去，而没有腿的半截身体，只能戳在我们面前。不过并没有鲜血，或是人体内的器官流出这种血淋漓的场面出现。 虽然被砍成了两半，小二还是满脸堆笑地对壮汉道：“怒爷爷，您不能这么对我，咱们可是老关系了。” 壮汉道：“把你知道的情况说来给他们几个听听，我就放你走。要不然我竖着再给你一下，看你小子还能不能继续缺德下去。” 小二满脸苦恼地道：“怒爷爷，您真别为难我。这里属于谁的地界您比我清楚，让他们进来的可不是我。” 壮汉冷笑道：“为什么他们单单就来到了你这里？” 小二道，“这还用问吗？他们去找常清月那死鬼的丫头，当然离我最近了。” 壮汉脸色一变对我们道：“什么，你们去找常清月了？” 我点点头道：“怎么了？” 壮汉若有所思地点点头道：“看来这件事情比较麻烦了。”说罢粗声对那个只有半截身体的小二道，“老实点回答他们的问题，要是有一个字隐瞒，我砸烂你的脑袋。” 说罢起身走出了这个院子，而那个从窗口出来的黑颜色的物体又退了回去，屋子里重又恢复一片黑暗。 我们看着那人隐没在门口的黑暗里，我才问道：“你们究竟是些什么人？为什么要对付我们呢？” 小二道：“可不是我要对付你，我是一个阴客，只是替主人饲养那些畜生和毛鳖的人。” 我莫名其妙地道：“什么是毛鳖？难道你们这里还有养鳖的地方？” 小二道：“你误会了，毛鳖并不是你们吃的甲鱼。毛鳖也属于阴客的一种，这些屋子里住的全是毛鳖，它们是专门吞食阳光或者灯光的东西，诡异得很。” 我本来想问他养这些动物有什么意思，不过现在不是满足自己好奇心的时候，便问道：“我们本来是受邪将的威胁去做事的，她又把我们引诱到这种地方来干吗呢？难道任务不需要我们去做了？” 小二道：“世上邪将何止一两个？你们遇到的那个，和我家主人就不是同一类的，我家主人轻易不去招惹普通人，他本来是个寻头客，后来自己修炼成了邪将，所以他一般只在各地的阴森小巷里生活。这次不知道为什么，要把你们引过来，以前他从来没有做过类似的事情。” 我们三人互相看了一眼，看来归根结底做这件事情的就是常清月，可是他这么做是为什么呢？我们之前根本就不认识，他对付我们似乎没有道理。小二看我表情估计猜到了我心里想的问题，道：“你们本来不应该去找常红，她不是正常人，她是专门替主人寻找毛鳖的人。你们进她的屋子是不是觉得非常阴暗？” 我道：“原来是这样，可是这种生物有什么作用呢？” 小二道：“我当然不知道了，用你们的话来说我只是个饲养员，不可能知道太多事情，你们逼我也没有用。” 看样子我们逼他也没用，于是我问了他最后一个问题：“那个大汉是谁？他为什么要帮我们？” 小二道：“我只知道他叫怒爷爷，他是一个常年徘徊在阴森小巷的人，很厉害，我们都很怕他，连主人都是。有时候一些迷路的人误闯入阴森小巷，只要他知道就会把那个人救出去，我们拿他也没办法。”
