This time I went to Beijing this time, I chose to take the train to Beijing on the weekend, and I took a taxi to the cadre rest center. Before I came back, I called Master Liu, and he said that he would go home at night, and he told me to stay by myself during the day and stop by. Look at that girl Cao Yunuo, because that girl has been clamoring to find me these days.
So I went back to the cadre rest center, first went to the residence to clean up the room, and then ran out to buy some small gifts. When I saw Cao Yunuo, her mental state was much better, and she kept asking questions. What happened to the "case" of my water ghost.
Obviously, she also got my whereabouts from her father, Cao Tianshi. Naturally, I simply told Cao Yunuo about the matter, but I didn't tell her about the corpse.
Through chatting with Cao Yunuo, I also know that she has already started to study here, and naturally she is also in the primary school within the organization.
At night, I also left, because Master Liu had already called me and asked me to find him at a ramen restaurant opposite the door of the Ganxiu. Cao Yunuo had an aunt who took care of her to do it. After the meal, of course he didn't come out.
She also knew that I would not be staying in Beijing for a long time, so she told me to visit her when I left Beijing, and I agreed with a smile.
After leaving the dry rest center, I soon found the ramen restaurant. The store is not big, but the inside is very clean. Master Liu was waiting for me at a position near the corner. I ordered two side dishes, as well as a bottle of white wine and two glasses.
Master Liu wants to drink with me? This is the first time.
After saying hello, I sat down opposite Master Liu, he smiled and said, "Xiaoyong, in the water ghost case this time, you did a good job, you didn't lose me, and Lao Ge and Zhou Tong has said a lot of good things for you, so the organization also approved you to confirm your participation. Is your identity the highest responsible person in the provincial capital, replacing the previous position of Chu Yang, and the matter in the future will be handed over. I will be responsible for you, of course, when there are other cases temporarily, you may be transferred to other places."
I was naturally very excited to be able to work with Master Liu, so I quickly nodded in agreement, and at the same time excitedly asked Master Liu what the name of our organization was, Master Liu smiled and said, "It's easy to remember, just three. Word - Dry Rest!"
"What!?" I couldn't believe it.
Master Liu continued: "Don't worry, it's the three names you heard, because the most powerful old men in our organization all have to live in various cadre rest centers in Beijing, so we organized That's what it's called, and the other name is just a title, what's the use of calling it nicely?"
In my heart, I still think this name is too rude, Master Liu also laughed "haha" and said, "Okay, don't make fun of you kid, 'Gan Rest Center' is just our 'anonymous name' to the outside world, we organize the real The name is 'The Trace of Huaxia' is not the sect of the sect, but the trace of the trace. At first, several powerful celestial masters who joined hands to create this organization are to be able to work together to find our Taoist sects and sects that exist in this world. In order to save the fading metaphysics, at the same time, in order to eliminate as many 'evil and evil obstacles' in this world as possible and maintain the stability of the Dao."
Hearing what Master Liu said was so mysterious, I smiled, and he followed me with a smile and said, "I know what you are thinking, do you think what I said is too 'big', wait for you When you have more contact with things in the future, you will understand that everything I said is true, but for some reason these purposes cannot be implemented."
After listening to Master Liu say this, I asked him, "Since the purpose of this organization is so good, why does Shibo Sima don't want our faction to join this organization?"
Master Liu said: "The original intention of this organization is good, but it can be developed for a long time, and there will be power and management organizations in it. These people often have some privileges, and over time this organization will become an annexation of various factions. This is a secular organization, so you, Sima Shibo, objected to our faction joining us."
I nodded and said nothing.
After that, Master Liu and I stopped talking about our organization. I drank some wine with Master Liu at the dinner party. This amount of alcohol, otherwise, he is not worthy of being his adopted son, because he is famous in the organization and is not drunk.
After drinking the wine, I also asked some things about the after the corpse Hao Kui was transported to Beijing, Master Liu told me: "I knew you would ask these questions, but this is not the place to talk about these, eat When I get home after dinner, I'll tell you again, there just happens to be some materials there for you to see."
When I returned to my residence in the evening, my feet were fluttering after drinking, but I still remembered about Hao Kui, so when I entered the door, I asked Master Liu where the things he wanted to show me were.
Master Liu smiled and took out a stack of documents from the drawer of a table in the living room for me. I took it and looked at it. It was filled with words. I asked Master Liu what it was, and he told me. : "This is all the research materials about the corpse Hao Kui, including the so-called Lianqi, which is also recorded."
There are more than 20 pages of this document, so when I look at it, I can't find any clues. There are many scientific terms in front of it, and what kind of genetic variation is involved. I am confused and can't understand at all. .
When I got to the middle part, I started to tell the story in vernacular. The content of the story followed the content of the county annals I checked earlier. This story tells about some things that happened to Hao Kui after he disappeared, and it was these things. Let Hao Kui turn into a corpse in just a few days.
The story goes like this, after the villagers went fishing, Hao Kui sent everyone away from the Wanghu Lake, and then that night, he went to him with his own instruments and what he needed to open the altar. At the trap set in Hubei, his purpose was naturally to capture Lianqi in Wanghu.
As for this Lianqi, according to the story, it is a kind of "corpse beast", a monster transformed from the corpse of an animal. It lives in Wanghu Lake all year round and feeds on fish. Hao Kui also passed by Wanghu by accident. When he was in the lake, he found a "corpse beast" in the water, and since he was not a savvy man, it recognized that it was a "corpse beast" in the water above "a scorpion". Divine Essence, so he thought of using the power of the government to capture the corpse beast in a way of killing fish.
The reason why this corpse beast is called Lianqi is because it has a head like a unicorn, but no limbs. When it swims in the water, it is often accompanied by long ripples and ripples, so Hao Kui gave this corpse beast Named Lianqi.
The story also mentions how he entered the capital, how he gained the trust of Emperor Jiajing, etc., but I don't care about these, so I omitted them all.
He went on to say that after Hao Kui arrived at the trap he had set up, he just found that there were long ripples of water in his trap. This was the sign of Lianqi's appearance. Hao Kui was naturally very excited, and hurriedly landed on the shore. Arrange the altar, set up a big formation, and trap Lianqi in a shallow place by the lake.
After trapping this Lianqi, Hao Kui went into the water to fight with him, but Hao Kui was not good at Taoism and was defeated by Lianqi, and even the corpse was eaten, but no one thought that Hao Kui was too obsessed with Lianqi. It turned into a red ghost, and because Lianqi was transformed from an animal corpse, so the body was strong and the soul was weak. Hao Kui took the opportunity to possess Lianqi and control Lianqi to continue to evolve by sucking human blood.
As for the villagers seeing Hao Kui eating people, it was completely Hao Kui's identity as a red ghost, using the ghost to cover his eyes to create an illusion.
Later, Lianqi was restrained by one or two Buddhas. I read it in the county annals and skipped it.
The few days when Lianqi was restrained happened to be the day when the corpse beast mutated, so after drinking human blood, Lianqi grew front claws and hind legs under the solid tower, and after hundreds of years, it became what it is now. appearance.
As for this corpse beast, we only have to suppress it and not destroy it. It has something to do with going to the two Buddhas. They preach compassion and do not advocate destruction, but they advocate suppression. Naturally, one cannot defeat two Buddhas, so we can only agree.
And Hao Kui hesitated to occupy Lianqi's body all year round. Its ghost was extremely powerful, so he squeezed out the life and soul of the corpse beast in the original corpse, so the body of the corpse beast became its Hao Kui's corpse. , and therefore became the corpse Hao Kui.
At the same time, because of the time, Hao Kui's ghost couldn't escape from the body of the corpse beast, and because it was a corpse, the soul of the earth could not be integrated into it, so Hao Kui's soul also dissipated on its own during the period of being restrained. went.
Hence the corpse Hao Kui we saw today.
When I saw me, I almost understood that the body of the corpse belonged to a corpse beast, but the soul inside was Hao Kui's.
After the solid tower was destroyed decades ago, the corpse Hao Kui escaped from the tower. It happened that the heavy rain formed a flood overnight, so Hao Kui returned to Wanghu to continue his practice. The person who died in the lake became a slave, and at the same time, in order to get fresh human essence in time during evolution, he deliberately created two natural ghosts, and through some transactions, let the two little ghosts help him.
At the same time, the report also pointed out that Hao Kui, the corpse, had not fully recovered his abilities because he had been restrained for too long. In addition, he had come ashore to fight with us, so he gave us a chance.
After reading these materials, I took a deep breath, and it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.
Master Liu was looking at a book next to him, and when he saw that I had finished reading it, he said, "Okay, you have figured out the matter of Hao Kui, so you should rest early, you will have to do it tomorrow. After returning to the provincial capital and taking office, you can't always fight alone in the future, so the organization will send you a helper."
I asked Master Liu was "Wei Wei"
He smiled and said, "Wei Wei is not enough to be your assistant. He is not inferior to you in terms of humane conduct and experience as an assistant, but he is very arrogant and arrogant. I hope you and him can get along happily."
I asked Master Liu what it was called, and Master Liu said, "My name is Wang Junhui. As for the other information, you'll know when you see him. It's alright, go to bed earlier."
