Chapter 18: Talent is the scariest thing

During dinner, the four of them had a great conversation. He Jianfei was annoyed when he mentioned that Zhang Junxing's diary was lost and could not know the contents. Old man Chen stopped his chopsticks and said, "By the way, I seem to have remembered it. Although the diary was lost, But someone must have made a backup when it was in the police station, or maybe there is still one now." Police station? He Jianfei's heart suddenly went cold, and he said while picking up the food: "Forget it, let's eat. Their filing system is even stricter than our little iron box. I'm afraid I won't have the chance until I am lucky enough to be the police chief ten years later." Old Uncle Chen He smiled and said: "That's not necessarily the case. The former director of the police station is very familiar with me. It will be no problem to have his help." He Jianfei said happily: "Really? Thank you for your hard work, please take me there tomorrow." Old man Chen said: "But I can't talk him out. You have to ask Senior Brother Li to come forward." Old Uncle Li quickly put down the soup bowl and said, "What does it have to do with me?" Old Uncle Chen said, "He is Hong, the 49th Vice Minister of the Planning Department. Senior brother, he was the introducer who contacted me to join the student union. He is my elder, so he has always been the only one who can speak to me, and I can’t speak to him." Old man Li realized: "He often talks to me about you and Senior Brother Aqiang. I haven't seen you for many years, and he really misses you. Just for this matter, he will let you go." Old man Li wanted to say something more, but He Jianfei stopped him and said with a smile, "I'll decide whether I can go tomorrow. I know what Old Man Li means. In order to conceal the truth about the two heroes on campus, I have been anonymous for a long time. I am afraid that it will be risky to show up frequently." Old Man Li smiled and said, "Isn't that what it is? I even changed the name on my household registration. So people can’t find me. What’s the point of relying on my old age now?” Tian Yinzhen said: “I remember people said that in the 1980s, the two heroes on campus stopped the gangsters from hijacking the train. Was it a trick directed by Mr. Li?” Before Old Man Li could answer, He Jianfei smiled and said, "It must be, so as not to make people wonder if the two heroes on campus have been snatched away by aliens after not seeing each other for so long. But don't worry, Old Man Li, you have nothing to say to him right now." To put it bluntly, since he, as a member of the 49th Student Union cadres, is also responsible for failing to prevent the path of injustice from forming, he is just fulfilling his unfinished duty by taking us to see the files. Can he face it? Do the people in Class 1 die with a clear conscience?" As soon as he finished speaking, Old Man Chen was already applauding, and Old Man Li said helplessly: "He Jianfei, you said it so well, why don't you tell him directly tomorrow." He Jianfei said with a smile: " Let’s wait until I accumulate enough blessings in this life and become a ‘campus genius’ in the next life.”

After drinking soup and eating, everyone took a shower. Because they had to rush to the police station tomorrow, everyone said good night and went back to their rooms to rest. When He Jianfei saw that the lights in Old Man Chen's room had been turned off, he said to Old Uncle Li, "I'll go over and see how Yinzi is doing." Old Man Li also wanted him to leave quickly, so he hurriedly closed the door, took out the talisman from his clothes, and held it in his hand. He said: "Aqiang, are you asleep? Don't sleep. Come out and talk to me." A voice came from behind and said: "Ghosts don't need to sleep." Old man Li was startled and turned around to see that Aqiang was already there. Sitting on his bed. Old Uncle Li was surprised and said: "Hey, since you are no longer possessed, why are you still in Aqiang's shape now?" Aqiang said: "I have been attached to him for twenty years and naturally absorbed the energy of the body, but now I can't recover. The original human form. What did you say to me when you came out?" Old Man Li said: "You said in Xi'an at that time that even if Dongyao killed dozens more people, he would not be able to gain the power to kill, right?" Aqiang said with a smile: "I understand. You are asking me how Dong Ou has such great power in 51 years when only a few people died in 51 years." Old Man Li also smiled and said: "Yes, Wrongful Ghost Road had it in 1952 The ability to kill is undoubtedly closely related to Jun Ting's death in 1951. I speculate that it might be the curse in the diary that helped Dong Ou?" Aqiang shook his head and said: "I have also thought about this. The question is, the amount of grievances that Winter Locust absorbs from me is not that great. It is still far from the standard of a Li Gui. It needs to at least double the power of Winter Locust. It is still doubtful whether a new curse has such great power. The most critical question at the moment is who cast the curse attached to the diary, but there are too few clues to deduce." Old Man Li sighed: "With this development, why does it feel like we are getting further and further away from the day when the truth will be revealed? The problems are getting more difficult than the last. If Yougangding is the same as your place and can be connected to the ghost world, it will be much easier to handle. "Connected to the ghost world? A Qiang's heart moved, and he looked up and looked out the window. A incomplete moon hung quietly by the window, surrounded by large swaths of dark clouds.

"Yinzi, Yinzi!" Tian Yinzhen was studying the two old photos on the bed, but still couldn't find anything. He was wondering, and saw He Jianfei jumping in like a cat and closing the door. He was startled: "Are you looking for death? What? Why did you sneak in like a thief?" He Jianfei hurriedly shushed her and said softly: "Old man Chen is sleeping, please stop making a fuss." Tian Yinzhen said angrily: "What are you doing here?" He Jianfei sat down The man beside the bed smiled and said, "I'll kiss you first and then I'll tell you." Before he could finish his words, Tian Yinzhen smashed a big pillow on his head: "What other tricks are you going to do?" He Jianfei was so pressed that he cried out He yelled and begged for mercy: "Don't you want to know what's wrong with that photo?" This sentence really scratched Tian Yinzhen's itch. He had no choice but to let He Jianfei go and said, "If this is a bluff, I will never spare you."

He Jianfei picked up the photo of the student union and said: "When I first looked at this picture, I saw the words 'New Year's Day' written underneath, and I felt something was wrong. Not to mention that there was a winter vacation on New Year's Day and no one came. Taking photos, the weather is still quite cold in our place in January and February, so we need to wear large woolen clothes. I saw that the photos in the photos were all in spring clothes, and I was a lot thinner, so I thought it must not be around the Spring Festival - it turned out to be the photo taken at the end of March. . Old man Chen has confirmed that these four words are Zhang Junxing's handwriting. So, isn't it abnormal for Zhang Junxing to still write "New Year's Day" on the photo one month after the New Year? And it makes me suspicious the most. Unfortunately, just more than ten days after Zhang Junxing distributed the photo, he fell dead on the road of the innocent ghost. This cannot help but make people suspect that this photo has some unknown relationship with his death. Imagine that he was alone and determined to solve the problem. The mystery of winter lotus, dealing with the ghost world, is not a magic world, there is a certain risk in itself. If he knows that he may encounter something unexpected, but is not willing to let the results of his hard work disappear, he will definitely leave a hint in some way. , just like the real Aqiang. Moreover, the word 'New Year's Day' was written in pencil, which looked out of place with the pen inscription in the middle of the front, which made me believe that he did this intentionally." Tian Yinzhen said: "I I've thought about this too, but it's not as serious as you think. It may have been written wrongly, or it makes sense to give it as a New Year gift." He Jianfei laughed and said, "I've never heard of giving something from the public house as a New Year gift. Anyone who gives it away thinks like Miss Tian, and all the clues are gone." Tian Yinzhen said angrily: "How dare you say it? You sneaked in and pretended that something big would happen. If there was this suspicion, Old Man Li and I would have been killed long ago. I know, and you’re not blind, so you can’t see the four big characters?” He Jianfei smiled and said, “You are focusing on the characters and people, and naturally you have ignored other things, but I also discovered it by accident, and I have to thank Senior Shen Fang for taking care of it. So clear.

He Jianfei's words seemed to mean that Shen Zai also took pictures of other things when taking pictures. Tian Yinzhen hurriedly picked up the photo and looked at it carefully. After a while, he said: "Well, the color of the bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen seems to be lighter." He Jianfei said: "Nonsense, that It looks better when it is newly cast. Forget it, this thing is a bit hidden, let me point it out to you." Then he pointed to the far left corner of the photo and said, "Look, what is this?" Tian Yinzhen He said: "It's a tree, nothing unusual." He Jianfei reminded: "Pay attention to what is next to the trunk." Tian Yinzhen came forward and tried to identify it for a long time, then said: "It seems to be a little black. What is it?" He Jianfei took out a magnifying glass to her and said, "You can see clearly with this." Tian Yinzhen took it and took a look at it, and exclaimed: "It's hair, a strand of hair!" He Jianfei said urgently: "Be gentle and don't make any noise. Wake up." Tian Yinzhen felt his scalp was numb and his whole body had become a little cold. He said in a trembling voice: "Is there... something hiding behind that tree? Dong... winter lotus?" He Jianfei said angrily: "You're big like lotus! Dong. Ou is already a ghost, and his camera is just an ordinary camera. Even if Dong Ou was really hiding there at that time, could he have taken a picture?" When Tian Yinzhen heard that it was not Dong Ou, he felt at ease, and he sighed and said, "Then Who is it? Shi Ting?" He Jianfei shook his head and said: "I'm not sure yet, but I think Jun Xing is so good and good-looking, how can there be no other girls who admire him? Also, when Zhang Junxing died, He shouted to Tianchang: 'This stingy woman' died. Who is he talking about?" Tian Yinzhen said unconcernedly: "This time it must be Dong Ou. He went to the Wrongful Ghost Road to unravel the problem of Dong Ou. It's a mystery. Most likely he was frightened by her ghostly appearance when he went to persuade Dongyao." He Jianfei said: "Isn't that right? He and Dongyao are not familiar with each other. One is a ghost and the other is a human. How can they have any contact with each other? I'm afraid There is someone else. Besides, even if he is scolding Dongluo, he shouldn’t use the word stingy. Dongluo doesn’t owe him anything, right?”

Tian Yinzhen's heart skipped a beat and she whispered to He Jianfei: "I know what you are thinking. The murderer who killed Zhang Junxing and Shi Ting was the same person. She became ruthless because she couldn't get Zhang Junxing..." He Jianfei interrupted her and said: "Wait a minute, have you forgotten that Shi Ting committed suicide?" Tian Yinzhen blinked at him and smiled: "Does the handsome guy He think she committed suicide?" The two understood and couldn't help laughing.

He Jianfei sighed: "Don't say that the ghost world can easily force people to hang themselves. If people in the magic world use any means to achieve their own goals, they can make you reborn after death and die again. Yinzi, sometimes I feel that ghosts are not It's not scary, they have their rules, but people are the scariest, and they will make you hard to guard against. Yinzi, have you done what I told you?" Tian Yinzhen already knew that He Jianfei came to her room in the dark, how could he discuss it with her? So simple, now I finally have to talk about the biggest knot in the matter of the Ghost Road. He suppressed a smile and said: "Well, as soon as I received the fax from you, I went to Tibet in the name of reviewing scriptures that afternoon. In the Scripture Pavilion, Senior Brother just looked at me strangely and did not stop me. By comparing the catalog of Tibetan scriptures with the actual scriptures, I found that except for the two or three borrowed scriptures, there were no shortage of them. Later, when I went to check "Destroy the Demons" Finally, we found clues." He Jianfei hurriedly leaned forward and lowered his voice: "Did you find that something had been done?" Tian Yinzhen nodded: "In the records from fifty years ago, I noticed that those fonts were at the end of the strokes. The phenomenon of bifurcation of ink shows that the pen used by the writer is an old pen with uneven hair color, but only on that page of records in 1949, the words are all round, full, neat and neat. There are no bifurcations at all, it is clearly written with a new pen.”

"What about other aspects?"

Tian Yinzhen said: "After I left Mount Wutai, I went to Mount Zhongnan. The leader, Taoist Tianji, said that although Mount Zhongnan is a Taoist leader, it has a short history of fame. If you want to look for ancient formations, it is best to go to Mount Wudang. After hearing this, I just borrowed their "Fu Yao Lu" and found nothing unusual. After I said goodbye, I visited Shaolin, Emei, Wuyi and other places, and everything was normal. Later, due to tight time, there was no Went to Wudang." He Jianfei said: "So you haven't looked up the information about the Twenty-Three Boys Formation?" Tian Yinzhen said: "I can't even make a shadow of it. When I went to Shaolin, the abbot said to me: "You are the first big sect in Wutai Mountain to arrange troops and cast spells. Why do you come here to ask us?" I can't express my pain, so I have no choice but to do it." He Jianfei said: "Looking at this situation, it is better to wait for Zhang Junxing to finish. Then come with us to Wudang Mountain to ask."

Tian Yinzhen agreed and said: "Why did you suddenly remember to check the Twenty-Three Children's Formation? Didn't the real Aqiang say that? The Twenty-Three Children's Formation has been lost for a long time, and maybe only the masters hiding in the mountains know about it. It is normal that there are no relevant records in the sect." He Jianfei sat on the bedside and said quietly: "I thought so too at first, but when I compiled the confession, I found that there were many contradictions and omissions. Don't take it seriously. Aqiang looks soft and quiet, but he is willing to kill a group of twenty-seven people to satisfy his own interests. How can such a cunning and cruel person be trusted?" As he spoke, he took a deep look at Tian Yinzhen, who was listening intently. He glanced at it and said: "I will boldly say that if I am not wrong, we are still far from the truth about Donglu's death!"

The mystery of the origin of the Wrongful Ghost Road, which was originally thought to have been revealed, has stirred up again. The only one who truly knows the truth back then is the real Aqiang. The punishment in the underworld is already the heaviest, so why would he cover up the truth? Is it for Dongyao or for himself? Nowadays, Zhang Junxing's clues are also complicated and extremely difficult to proceed. The two major mysteries are intertwined, making the solution of the innocent ghost road uncountable. As he was thinking about it, He Jianfei's head ached a little, but he heard Tian Yinzhen shaking his shoulders and saying: "I have carefully read Zhen Aqiang's confession once or twice, and I didn't find any flaws. What kind of contradiction did you find?" ?" He Jianfei smiled and said: "If you assume that you believe in the Twenty-Three Boys Formation, you will find nothing. In fact, his biggest flaw is in the Twenty-Three Boys Formation. Buddhism advocates nine-nine returns to true nature, and eight-nine. Eleven is a perfect number, and the creation of formations must follow Buddhist principles. These twenty-three do not reach the sky, and do not reach the earth. It is difficult to imagine anyone using them to set up formations. This is one of the reasons. Even if there is such a formation. , twenty-three plus one person mobilized by the center, a total of twenty-four people worked at the same time. If they wanted to be destroyed, they would be destroyed together. However, they died in batches and resorted to suicide. This is really unheard of. This is the second one. He In his confession, he first said that the Twenty-Three Boys Formation was going to take people's lives, but at the end he said that it was not necessary. This kind of question is completely self-contradictory, which shows that the credibility of the Twenty-Three Boys Formation is indeed questionable. This is the third point. That’s all I’ve discovered so far.”

Tian Yinzhen was stunned after hearing this, and after a long while he said: "Could the so-called mysterious man be made up by the real Aqiang?" He Jianfei said: "This should be credible, the real Aqiang has no magic foundation, no one How could Li Gui Aqiang be forced back to the ruined temple after telling him?" Tian Yinzhen said, "You asked me to sneak into the library just to verify this matter?" He Jianfei just said "hmm" and said nothing more. Tian Yinzhen suddenly trembled slightly and said softly: "You... you doubt our teacher..."

"Yinzi," He Jianfei covered Tian Yinzhen's mouth, sighed softly, and said solemnly, "There are some things that we cannot talk nonsense about, but it is hard to say whether Wutai Mountain's centuries-old reputation will be ruined in this one move." Tian Yinzhen There seemed to be some liquid flowing in the bright big eyes. It took a long time before He Jianfei spat out a sentence from the mouth covered by He Jianfei: "No, Wutai Mountain will not do this. We will not do it, let alone our teacher." ..." She couldn't continue talking, and her eyes were immediately covered with a mist-like veil. He Jianfei let go of his hand, took Tian Yinzhen's hand and said: "Hao Yinzi, tell me, if the situation is really as bad as we expected. , are you helping Heaven or Mount Wutai?" Tian Yinzhen lowered his head and said: "Help Heaven." He Jianfei sighed: "Justice is in the human heart, good and evil are free and determined by God. Punishing evil and promoting good is what the Buddha taught us, and in our hearts we are Kindness is the real kindness. In ancient times, how many people did not hesitate to betray their factions and apostasy because of this word." The moon, half of which was bitten off by dark clouds, hung bleakly in the sky, with not a single star around. He Jianfei looked at it blankly. It thought to itself: "It's probably going to rain. Tian Yinzhen had leaned into his arms and cried softly.

On Old Man Li's side, the two of them had been chatting for a long time. Seeing that Old Man Li was getting sleepy, Aqiang lazily agreed and urged him to go to bed. Old Man Li had no choice but to go to bed. As soon as he lay down, he immediately turned over and said, "I remembered something." Aqiang said angrily and laughed, "Why are you living so much and going back so much? You're acting like a kid by not sleeping." Like a child." Old Man Li said hurriedly: "I'm not kidding, I suddenly thought that that incident might have happened." Aqiang said warily: "Which incident?" Old Mr. Li said: "That incident happened the second year we took office. It's a matter of time." Aqiang said: "No way? Haven't we done it?" Old Man Li said: "But you said it was a stopgap measure at that time. It was a stopgap measure. If the incident had already happened, we wouldn't have done it. I don't know." Aqiang was about to answer when suddenly there was a noise on the door, and he stopped talking. It turned out that it was He Jianfei who came back. When he saw the two of them, he smiled and said, "It turns out you are not asleep yet. If I had known better, I wouldn't have to be so cautious. The two of you are talking about something. You seem quite excited." Aqiang smiled slightly and said, "We are talking about things in the school." He Jianfei smiled and said, "I have asked senior brother to leave an incense stick for you in the side hall. If you want to sit there and receive incense offerings in your free time, you can eliminate your sins as soon as possible." Old Uncle Li said, "You couldn't have tricked him into entering another formation to weaken his magic power, right?" He Jianfei laughed and scolded, "Stop sowing discord. Next to it is the main hall of the Main Hall. I am so bold that I can even harm the Buddha." Aqiang smiled and said: "Thank you, I will go when I have free time. I have a long journey tomorrow, so you two should go to sleep. It was difficult for me to persuade you. Xiao Li lies down and you get him up again." The two of them followed the instructions and fell asleep without talking.

Early the next morning, Old Man Chen got up and made breakfast with Tian Yinzhen. After everyone finished eating, they immediately took a plane out of Shangqiu and headed to the school. The airport was not far from the police station cadre dormitory, so Mr. Chen suggested walking there. It happened that we had to cross a pedestrian bridge on the road. Standing on the bridge, we could see the bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen standing proudly in the distance, very clear. Although after more than fifty years of ups and downs, the bronze statue has turned a little dark, its kind smile still supports the prosperity of this school's century-old foundation. Old Uncle Li and Old Uncle Chen couldn't help but be stunned. Not far from the bronze statue, covered by tall and short buildings, was the location of the infamous Ghost Road, which was also the burial place of many of their close friends. Great men and wronged souls coexist, and righteousness and resentment coexist. I am afraid this is also the unique scenery of this university.

He Jianfei and Tian Yinzhen walked a long way before they realized that the two old men had not followed them. Tian Yinzhen asked curiously: "Why are they still so fascinated? Have they never seen a bronze statue?" He Jianfei said: "You have never experienced their situation, so it is difficult to understand it, and I only understand it after Zhang Chuanxun's death. This." At this time, the sun jumped out of the clouds and fog, and the bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen in the distance immediately glowed with a dazzling bronze luster.
