On the way back, I kept thinking about what had happened recently. The problems I encountered seemed very loose, but in fact they were intertwined. Sometimes, I had to give up one of the clues and pursue another.
Is this because the things I encountered are too complicated, or is Xue Yu setting up a trap to lure me into a trap
Judging from the time, even if the Tulip family leaked Ling'er's secret, Xue Yu from the Wuming Sect should not have come so quickly. It was impossible for Xue Yu to miss a battle like the one in the Cemetery of Gods and Demons. From the end of the Cemetery of Gods and Demons to now, just one week was not enough for them to plan. If Xue Yu isn't laying the plan, who is constantly disrupting my rhythm
I hesitated and called Mother Fox: "Mother Fox, please help me check Xue Yu's recent movements."
Mother Fox quickly found out the news: "Xue Yu, you left the Wuming Sect yesterday morning. According to the intelligence, it was you who took over the Wuming Sect's station and angered Xue Yu."
Mother Fox said in a deep voice: "You must be careful about this Xue Yu. Although she acts low-key in the Wuming Sect, she has always been Qin Hongzhuang's right-hand man. She is a difficult character. Don't fall into her hands."
"Don't worry! I'm not a fuel-efficient person either!" I put down the phone and breathed a sigh of relief. Knowing that Xue Yu and I were on the same starting line at least reassured me a lot.
I sneered: "Xue Yu wants to disrupt my rhythm, then let's have fun. Ye Xun, notify the police to search the warehouse just now, and then ask them to arrest people at Xue Yu's place. I don't believe that Xue Yu dares to talk to the police confrontation."
The Li family brought out snake gall wine to entertain the distinguished guests. Of course they would not use venomous snakes they caught casually, but many highly venomous snakes are protected animals in the country. I don't believe that their warehouse is so clean.
I only waited at the police station for half an hour, and Li and the others were brought back. When Li saw me, he spat on the ground: "Scum!"
I walked up to him with a smile and punched him in the stomach. I knocked him to the ground on the spot. I stepped on his head without waiting for him to get up: "That spit on the ground, Just lick it clean for me as long as you vomited it up. If you leave even a little bit, you don’t have to get up today."
"Wang Huan, what do you want to do?" The Li family was about to resist when they were forced back to their original position by the Taiping knife of the old knife group.
I said coldly: "Li, you'd better not say anything to me about 'Seniors can be killed, but not humiliated'. I really know how to kill."
While I was talking, my feet gradually became stronger. Anyone who has practiced martial arts knows how strong the force from a warrior's feet is. Even a stone slab can be shattered under the warrior's feet, let alone someone's head.
Li was still yelling and cursing at first, but soon there was no movement. When the bright red blood flowed out around his cheek, Sesu said: "Wang Huan, you brought us back because you just wanted to know from our mouths. Some secrets, what do you want to know, I can tell you, you let go."
"Fortunately, the Li family are not all fools." I removed my foot from Li's head and said, "Take her into the interrogation room."
Although Sese was brought into the interrogation room, she still showed no fear and looked at me calmly without saying a word.
I said calmly: "Name."
"Li Sese." Sese replied calmly: "We are all people in the world, why bother to come up with these useless things? Wouldn't it be better to just ask what you want to ask?"
I looked at the other party: "Why did your Li family go to the coast, and how did you find that community?"
Li Sese said: "It was a girl named Zhang Qiang who found us and showed me a photo of a giant python eating people, and we got here."
"Zhang Qiang?" I said solemnly, "When did that happen?"
"It's the fifth of this month." Li Sese replied: "I have a record of the conversation with her on my phone."
I asked someone to take Li Sesu's cell phone and look through it a few times. As expected, the conversation between her and Zhang Qiang was there.
The Li family ostensibly runs a cleaning company that gets rid of rat snakes and cockroaches. In fact, they are using the company as a cover to hunt exotic snakes and explore restricted areas.
The conversation between Zhang Qiang and Li Sesu was also extremely simple. They basically said that they had discovered a strange man-eating snake and needed the Li family to capture it. There is also a photo included.
Most of the man in the photo had been devoured by the giant python, leaving only the upper part of his chest exposed. The person who took the photo was far away from the scene of the incident, but the face of the deceased could still be roughly seen from the photo.
I handed my phone to a police officer: "Check to see if this deceased person is a missing person at the construction site."
The police officer glanced at the phone: "He is the missing thief, the one who reported the case to the community security a few days ago."
It turned out that the thief did not fall into the construction site and escaped, but died after falling into the construction site.
I shook my phone and said, "It's not unusual for pythons to eat people. Is it worth your Li family's large-scale action?"
Li Sese shook his head and said, "That's a demon snake. Look carefully at the snake's forehead and make the photo bigger."
Only then did I see that the big python had a horn-like protrusion on its forehead.
One-horned python
If you look at it from the perspective of the ancients, even if you don't think of it as a dragon, you will think of it as a demon snake.
I put down the phone and said, "Just because of the unicorn that has not grown, can we say that he is a demon snake?"
Li Sese shook his head and said: "This alone is enough for us to run to the coast once. Facts have proved that we came to the right place."
I interrupted Li Sesu: "How did Zhang Qiang find the Li family? If she simply needed to catch snakes, she could ask for help from the police or the wildlife protection department. She wouldn't have to go across three provinces to find the Li family, right?"
Li Sese said: "I also asked Zhang Qiang on the phone about your question. She said it was from her friend. If one day, he has an accident, he must contact the Li family and tell them that there is a demon snake here."
I suddenly became energetic: "What else did she say?"
Li Sese said: "I originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but Zhang Qiang said that it was not convenient to talk on the phone and that we would wait until we met in person. But after we came here, we never saw Zhang Qiang."
Li Sese recalled: "We checked into the hotel at the address provided by Zhang Qiang. Originally, according to our agreement, she should come to meet us around nine o'clock. But it was a courier who came and he gave us a letter The envelope was signed by Zhang Qiang. There was only a key and the address of Zhang Qiang's residence."
"Zhang Qiang called me at that time and said that it was not convenient for her to come forward. She asked me to go to her house with the key. From the terrace of her house, I could see the snake nest in the construction site. I was also doubtful at the time, but I rushed to the community. Then I was frightened by the scene.”
Li Sese raised his head and said, "I found the Seven Star Lock Dragon Pond at the construction site."
"What?" I couldn't help but frown: "What are you talking about?"
Li Sese looked at me and said, "Do you believe that there are dragons in this world? Do you believe that anyone has eaten a dragon?"
"Eat dragon?" I briefly recalled it.
There are indeed legends about raising and eating dragons in ancient books.
"Zuo Zhuan" records that in ancient times there was a man named Dong Fu who was good at raising dragons. He once raised dragons for Emperor Shun, and Emperor Shun named him the Dragon Clan.
As for eating dragons, there is another legend. "Historical Records of Xia Benji" and "Biography of Immortals" record that Emperor Kong Jia of the Xia Dynasty got two dragons, a female and a male, and found a man named Liu Lei to raise them. These two dragons.
Liu Lei didn't know how to raise a dragon, so the female dragon died soon after. He simply cooked the dead dragon and gave it to Kong Jia to eat. After Kong Jia ate it, he praised it greatly. Liu Lei was afraid and ran away.
Kong Jia had no choice but to find another dragon-raising master named Shimen. The master raised the male dragon to be full of energy and energy, and Kong Jia was very happy. However, the master had an upright personality and often criticized Kong Jia for pretending not to understand how to raise dragons. This made Kong Jia angry and finally ordered someone to kill him and bury his body in the wilderness outside the city.
Soon, it rained heavily and strong winds blew. When the wind stopped and the rain stopped, the mountains and forests outside the city started to burn again. Kong Jia originally believed in gods and ghosts, but now he believed that the evil spirit of his master was causing trouble, so he had to get on a carriage and rush to the countryside to pray. After praying, Kong Jia boarded the car and returned to the city. He walked halfway and died in the car.
In addition, "Shiyi Ji" records that during the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty Liu Fuling ate dragon; "Xu Yi Ji" also recorded that Emperor Zhang of the Han Dynasty Liu Fuling also ate dragon meat.
Did these legends really exist
I said in a deep voice: "Don't ask me whether I believe it or not. You can continue to tell me later."
Li Sese said: "The Seven-Star Locked Dragon Pond is a pond built by the Yulong clan in ancient times to raise dragons. In order to prevent the dragons from escaping from the dragon pond, the Yulong clan would build seven columns near the dragon pond to suppress the dragons. The Seven Stars This is where Suolongchi gets its name.”
I couldn't help but frown when I heard this: "What era is that building of Suolong Pond?"
Li Sese said: "I don't know either, but there is a piece of blue brick with Jiajing Year engraved on it. The specific year is a bit vague. I don't know whether it is the original thing or whether it has been repaired later."
"Jiajing Year?" I tapped the table with my hand. Jiajing Year happened to be the period when Japanese pirates were raging. If, according to the security guard, the pirates built a cave to kill innocent people after occupying that wasteland as a stronghold, could that cave be a dragon breeding pond
If you put it this way, does the theory that Wang Zhi drives the dragon really exist
I nodded and said, "Go on."
Li Sese said: "In the eyes of the ancients, giant pythons were actually dragons, or demonic snakes would also be regarded as dragons by them. We also suspected that the demonic snakes from the dragon pond came out to hurt people. In fact, that The dragon-raising pond is just an empty pond.”
I frowned slightly: "What do you mean?"
Before Li Sesu could answer, Ye Xun walked in from the outside: "Wang Huan, the man who detects the magic hand is here and wants to bail out the Li family."
