Sweeping the Infinity from Apprenticeship to Chen You

Chapter 130

There was a long queue in the main hall of the Dazhong Temple. The white-haired, short-cut foreigner put one hand on his waist, looked at his "partner" in front of him, and frowned: "Huang, I originally meant to find a scholar of history of religion or anthropology. Not for this kind of place. I know, I should respect your customs and culture, but...we're investigating, aren't we?"

Tony Leung Ka Fai, actor with thousands of faces, also known as Huang Huotu, the hero of the movie "Double Eyes", also had a headache when he saw the long queue in front of him: "Kevin, if you want to look up this talisman, it's the fastest way to come here and ask." .”

F.B.I Kevin looked around and said doubtfully, "According to my understanding, isn't Fu the culture of your Taoism? And here... seems to be a Buddhist temple?"

As soon as these words came out, Huang Huotu was stunned.

He couldn't help but raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. Although he knew very little about Buddhism and Taoism, he shouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

But why did he drive Kevin directly to Dazhong Temple after he came out of the police station?
It's not too far away from the police station, but it's two different directions from going to Nangang Research Institute.

"What's wrong with me?" Huang Huotu rubbed his forehead, thinking to himself, could it be that he hasn't had a good rest in the past two days and is in a trance?

"Two, do you know where I can help?" At this moment, a voice sounded behind the two of them.

Huang Huotu asked suspiciously, "You are?"

Lin Ge started to introduce himself: "Lin Huohuo, the No. 90 ninth-generation true disciple of the orthodox Shangqing sect in Xiadaomen, happened to pass by and heard two people talking about the culture of my religion. It seems that there is something I need to consult. If you don't dislike it, you can let the poor Daoist For the two of you."

Lin Ge concluded from the words of the two that the plot of "Double Pupils" had obviously begun, but as he expected, the plot had changed due to the lack of timely intervention.Kevin, who was supposed to appear after the news briefing, quietly appeared on Taiwan Island.

Huang Huotu was stunned for a moment when he heard the words: "Uh, Taoism is already going to places like Buddhist temples to find work?"

"..."

Lin, who was always eloquent, choked on these words, and was speechless for a moment.Young man, you are very brave!
Lin Ge silently recited the two fairy scriptures in his heart, and said calmly: "The poor Taoist wandered to Taiwan Island, and got a hexagram yesterday. Leading the way can turn danger into good fortune."

"Pindao has the guts to do the calculations. You are troubled by business affairs today. You should go south, but for some reason you came to the Dazhong Temple in the north. You must be guided by the general star. You met Pindao here. Help you to break through the confusion and find the truth."

Fortune-telling, pay attention to a "mysterious" word, the more mysterious you say, the more people think about it, then you will win half of the battle.

For the other half, it depends on the real skills.

Huang Huotu stared at Lin Ge, frowning slightly, as if he was really thinking about the truth and falsehood of Lin Ge's words.

Coincidentally, their original route was indeed to go to the south. Lin Ge just happened to choose the north and south directions from the "east, west, north and south" to flicker. Unexpectedly, the accidental collision turned out to be the key to gaining the trust of Huang Huotu.

Kevin is a profiling expert of Fobole, and he is proficient in criminal psychology. After three consecutive death cases occurred in "Double Eyes", he was invited to help.But because Kevin didn't understand Chinese, the criminal team assigned Huang Huotu as his assistant and part-time translator.

Huang Huotu originally graduated with excellent grades and had a bright future, but because of reporting corruption, it led to a major purge in the bureau, so he was squeezed out by many colleagues and gradually reduced to a marginal figure. Throw it to Huanghuotu.

Kevin heard Lin Ge chattering a lot, but he didn't understand a single word, so he asked, "What is he talking about?"

After Huang Huotu translated Lin Ge's words to Kevin, Kevin looked helpless: "Huang, you don't really believe it, do you? This guy was standing behind us just now, and it is not impossible to hear our conversation. We Let’s find an anthropologist!”

According to the performance in the movie, apart from "not believing in ghosts and gods", Kevin is generally a conscientious and good policeman.

It's a pity that because of the "do not believe in ghosts and gods", he could not escape death in the end. He was subjected to the "tongue pulling prison", where his own tongue was pulled out and he died.

For the positive characters in the play, Lin Ge usually helps if he can, took out a talisman and asked: "Mr. Kevin, as an expert in psychology, you believe that you will not be hypnotized when you are fully awake, right?" Bar?"

Kevin didn't expect that the self-proclaimed Taoist was quite fluent in English, and was about to nod, but suddenly realized something was wrong: "Wait, how do you know that I'm an expert in psychology, I've never met you before."

"It's not important, you can think of me as pinching my fingers. So back to the topic just now, you are sure you won't be hypnotized by me now, right?"

Kevin nodded: "Of course, the noisy environment does not meet the basic conditions for hypnosis, and our chat is not enough for you to establish..."

"That's fine. You don't have to explain so much, I'm just worried that if I play a little magic later, it will make you feel like you've just been hypnotized." Lin Ge smiled.

Kevin frowned and said, "What do you mean..."

Before the word "thinking" could be uttered, Lin Ge applied the fixing spell to his chest, and Kevin found himself frozen, unable to speak except for his eyes.

Huang Huotu saw Kevin suddenly freeze, his eyes panicked, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with him?"

"Oh, I used a little magic to let him know that I'm not a charlatan." Lin Ge replied.

"This……"

Lin Ge tore off the yellow talisman: "Don't worry, the talisman can be moved after tearing it off."

"What did you do..."

Halfway through Kevin's words, Lin Ge stuck the talisman on it again, and then he froze again.

"Uh... this is too amazing." Huang Huotu was startled.

Lin Ge nodded: "Right, I also think, you see, as long as I keep drawing and sticking symbols, he will become a stop-motion animation."

Huang Huotu, Kevin: ...

After pulling and pasting the talisman more than a dozen times, Kevin finally accepted the reality, that is, the man in front of him really knows magic spells!

"Unbelievable! Master, can you let me try this magical talisman?" Kevin asked in surprise with wide-eyed eyes.

"Of course." Lin Ge handed the amulet to Kevin.

Kevin took it, and stuck it on Huang Huotu's chest, then raised his hand and shook it in front of Huang Huotu's eyes: "Huang, can you still move?"

Yellow Huotu: ...

Later, Huang Huotu also saw the magic of the talisman.

[Affected by the charm value, the favorability of the plot characters "Yellow Huotu" and "Kevin" towards you will increase. 】

Huang Huotu took out a folded piece of A4 paper from his pocket and spread it out to Lin Ge, on which was a copy of a spell pattern: "Master Dao, can you help me find out what kind of charm this is?"

If Lin Ge had shown this talisman half a year ago, he would have only suggested Huang Huotu to find Uncle Ying, but after half a year of "studying", as long as he was not particularly unpopular, he could answer it.

"This talisman is a ultimatum. In layman's terms, it is a reminder to the underworld, a subpoena." Lin Ge explained.

Huang Huotu and Kevin looked at each other, Kevin nodded, and Huang Huotu continued: "Master Daoist, if it's convenient, we would like to ask you to read some information for us and give us some professional advice, is that okay?"

"Of course." Lin Ge nodded.

Huang Huotu said: "Then please follow us to the parking lot, put everything in the car."

"it is good."

The three of them talked, and walked outside the Dazhong Temple. When they walked down the stairs, Lin Ge suddenly felt a familiar feeling behind them.Looking back, I saw a long-haired girl in a white skirt sitting on the top of the main hall, waving goodbye to him.

Lin Ge's expression was a little subtle at this time, and he really wanted to give her a thumbs up.If the girl in the white dress is a ghost, dare to sit on the roof of Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha...

Apart from the word "cow", Lin Ge couldn't think of a second adjective.

The next moment, the girl in the white skirt disappeared.

However, Lin Ge had gotten used to the girls in white skirts who appeared and disappeared, so he ignored them, called Ou Yongqi who was waiting outside the temple, and followed Huang Huotu to the car.

In the car, Huang Huotu and Kevin, as police officers, naturally couldn't show Lin Ge the information related to the case, so they only showed him some photos related to Taoism, such as the rune on the chest of the third deceased, etc. .

Lin Ge stared at the photos, frowning tightly, giving the impression that these photos are tricky, but in fact he was thinking about the plot of Huang Huotu meeting the anthropologist.

It's just that this movie is too long ago, he has almost forgotten the details except for some general plots.After all, it's been almost 20 years, and he can still remember Huang Huotu's name, which is not bad.

Ugh.

It seems that we still have to bring the plot to the main line, at least get the gym materials collected by anthropologists.

Lin Ge's original plan was to directly replace the position of anthropologist and explain to Huang Huotu.

But he explained that there is no problem with Taoism-related materials, but he can't get clues related to Zhenxian Temple, which is a bit troublesome.

However, Lin Ge suddenly thought of a problem. In the movie, after three cases occurred in a row, the Taiwan Bureau held a press conference to explain, and also stated that they would invite Fo Bole to help solve the case, which made Kevin be picked up by the reporter. stuck at the airport.

Lin Ge has been paying attention to the news these days, and the only news related to "Double Eyes" is that the chairman of Taifeng Chemical Industry was frozen to death.

But this talisman is clearly a photo on the stomach of the third deceased!
Moreover, Huang Huotu should have gone to find an anthropologist after they came out of the police station. Why did they come to Dazhong Temple?
Lin Ge thought of the girl in the white skirt...

Could it be that she "led" her here?

Lin Ge thought for a while and came up with a solution, so he closed his eyes and pretended to count: "The photos you showed me reminded me of a piece of news from a week ago that the chairman of Taifeng Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. Frozen to death in the [-]-degree office. Presumably the deceased in this photo should be related to the death of the chairman."

Huang Huotu was a little surprised, and exchanged glances with Kevin. After the second deceased appeared, the higher-ups asked them to close the case as "suicide" to avoid trouble. Come to Kevin.

In fact, I originally thought that Huang Huotu and Kevin would not be able to investigate anything, and finally closed the case hastily.

Therefore, the second and third cases have not been announced to the public. If Lin Ge is not "his own person", there should be no way to know these internal information.

For a moment, Huang Huotu didn't know whether to answer Lin Ge's words. Answering it meant that they wanted to tell Lin Ge, an "ordinary person", the clues related to this case.

Lin Ge continued: "But I can calculate that besides these two cases, there should be No.3 deceased. You two, if you really want my help, you still want to tell me more news. With these two Photos, I'm having a hard time helping."

Huang Huotu and Kevin discussed it for a long time on the grounds of getting out of the car to smoke a cigarette, and finally decided to "try their luck".

After all, the whole bureau didn't plan to take care of this matter anymore. The burden was on the two of them. They hadn't gained much in the past few days. If they didn't seek foreign aid, they couldn't stand it anymore.

When the two returned to the car, Huang Huotu took out a stack of documents again and showed Lin Ge: "Master Dao, in fact, three cases have indeed occurred this week, but because the cases are so involved, we can only cover them in secret." Investigate."

"The first deceased, the chairman of Taifeng Chemical Co., Ltd. was found by the secretary wrapped in a blanket and died in the office a week ago. According to the secretary, the chairman had expressed coldness many times before and asked her to close the company air conditioner, but the chairman was 'frozen to death' in the [-]-degree indoor heat."

"The forensic doctor found ice slag in the nasal mucosa of the deceased, and the autopsy found that the skin of the deceased was deeply frostbitten, consistent with the characteristics of being frozen to death. Moreover, a strange mold was found in his brain and respiratory tract."

As he spoke, Huang Huotu unfolded the information and showed it to Lin Ge.

"Two days later, in a high-end apartment in the north of Taiwan Island, a woman found a fire in the house after taking a bath, and immediately called the police. But the police and firefighters felt that there was no trace of fire in the woman's house. But the woman has Lying on the ground, body curled up, skin dehydrated. And in the autopsy, it was found that the woman's brain and airway also had strange molds."

"Afterwards, the third case happened, which is the first group of photos you saw. The place where the incident happened was in the church. The deceased was a pastor. He was disemboweled and his intestines were taken out, cleaned and stuffed back, and The wound was stitched up, and the tick you mentioned was drawn on the stomach."

Huang Huotu paused, and took out another document.

"Under Kevin's investigation, we found this kind of small steel balls in the air conditioners and vents of the houses of the three deceased. After inspection, it was found that these three steel columns came from the same type of launcher, and it was initially suspected that they had been modified. air gun."

"But according to our inspectors, the murderer is not simple, because hollowing out and drilling such a small steel ball requires extremely sophisticated technology. Moreover, the murderer also injected the mold found on the deceased into the interior of the steel ball."

"In other words, the murderer put the mold into the small steel balls that were hollowed out, and then used a modified air gun to shoot it into the air outlet to spread the mold. It is very difficult to complete this method of killing no matter which step it takes."

Lin Ge flipped through the information given by Huang Huotu, and the plot of the movie gradually became clear in his mind.

Theoretically speaking, the final boss of the movie "Double Eyes" is more difficult to deal with than the bosses of the four supernatural events that Lin Ge has solved so far.

Speaking of which, this boss has some "relationships" with him, because it is the "orthodox" immortal in the history of Taoism——

Corpse Jie Xian.

According to Ge Zu Ge Hong, there are three levels of immortals, namely heavenly immortals, earth immortals, and dead immortals.

And this corpse-dissolving immortal is one of the many methods of Taoism to ascend to the Tao, the method of abandoning the body to make the soul ascend.

There are many ways to "die", such as "soldier solution" of cutting off the head with a sword, "hydrolysis" of drowning... There are even "stick solution" and "clothes solution". "Die once", and then let the soul leave the body and ascend to the Tao.

But there are also many problems, such as "not enough morality", what should I do if I really die?In addition, the others are "immortality" with the body, which has to die once, and it is considered the "lowest" method of ascending to immortality, which is gradually abandoned.

But these are not the main point, the main point is... This frankly is an orthodox Taoist immortal, who can rub any evil spirits on the ground with just a little finger.

Lin Ge thought that there are so many strange stories on Taiwan Island, it doesn't matter if you give up a "Double Eye", after all, it only has 500 justice points + 5000 reincarnation points, and there is no need to fight head-on with the corpse.So when he didn't find the clue of "Double Eyes", he didn't seem to be very anxious and caring.

Anyway, just push it when the plot unfolds, and go to other places to dig for supernatural events before it unfolds. Open the world, if you can’t skip the mission, then why not open it.

As a result, Huang Huotu was "sent" to Lin Ge.He felt a force in the dark, constantly pushing him towards "Double Eyes".

If you really can't hide, then you can only call Zhong Kui, Master Hu and the corpse to chat about life.Everyone is Taoist, if you don't give face, then I can only flip the table.

Besides, isn't there a fairy sister who is elusive and haunted here? If the time comes to find a way to fool her to help out, won't it be stable?
Seeing Lin Ge staring at the information, Huang Huotu couldn't help asking, "Master Daoist, did you see anything from it?"

I can see that the boss is difficult to deal with.

Lin Ge said in a deep voice: "Judging from these three cases, the murderer is likely to be performing some kind of evil ritual. If I remember correctly, a Taoist temple ruin was dug up somewhere before, and similar spells appeared in it. An academician on the island should have collected some information."

Kevin nodded and said, "Before coming to this temple, Huang Ben and I planned to meet an anthropologist."

"It's not too late, we'd better go now. I suspect the murderer will commit crimes again, the sooner he can be found, the better." Lin Ge said.

Huang Huotu asked, "Master Taoist, are you going with us?"

"Of course, my generation of cultivators fight against good and evil all their lives. Since someone uses Taoism to harm others, I will do my best to stop him." Lin Ge said awe-inspiringly.

[Affected by the charm value, the favorability of the plot character "Yellow Fire Earth" towards you will increase. 】

Several people came by car to Nangang Research Institute, the office of Academician Sheng Zuchang of Social Anthropology.After explaining his purpose, Academician Sheng picked up a magnifying glass and began to check the information provided by Huang Huotu.However, just like the first time he treated Lin Ge, he only took out photos related to talismans.

After seeing the picture of the pastor's stomach painted with blood, Academician Sheng seemed to have thought of something, and dug out a few pictures from the drawer.

After a comparison, the talismans on the photos on both sides are exactly the same.

"Absolutely!"

Academician Sheng sighed, "This talisman is a new product."

"A few years ago, a Taoist temple was dug up in the Jiaozhi area, called Zhenxian Temple. In the temple, I found a stone inscription, as well as some magic tools and talismans. This is the photo of the unearthed." Academician Sheng took it out of the cabinet Show Huang Huotu a thick file book.

Huang Huotu asked: "Mr. Sheng, where is the delivery address?"

Academician Sheng replied: "Jiaozhi is an ancient place name. It belonged to Baiyue in the pre-Qin period. Now it is probably in northern Vietnam and a small part of Guangxi and Yunnan."

"A Taoist temple dug up in northern Vietnam?" Huang Huotu seemed a little puzzled.

At this time, Lin Ge beside Huang Huotu said: "Vietnam is the first Southeast Asian country to accept Taoist culture. At a certain period, Taoism in Vietnam was very prosperous. According to records, there are more than [-] Taoist temples in Jiaozhou alone, so in Jiaozhou Digging out Taoist temples is nothing new."

"That's right, as this gentleman said." Academician Sheng echoed.

While Huang Huotu and Lin Ge picked up the photos to look through, Academician Sheng pointed to the photos they brought and said, "The talisman you showed me is exactly the same as the cultural relics unearthed a few years ago. An ultimatum is a subpoena from the underworld."

Huang Huotu held one of the photos, which was densely written with incomprehensible words, and asked, "Mr. Sheng, what do these words mean?"

Academician Sheng pointed to the picture and said: "According to textual research, this is the necessary process for ancient Taoist priests to cultivate alchemy and immortality. But there are too many secret words mixed in it, which cannot be solved for a while. This is a rubbing of stone inscriptions, and there is no I don’t know what it means.”

Huang Huotu pointed to the symbols on another picture and asked, "Then what do these pictures next to them mean?"

Academician Sheng explained: "Oh, that's simple. This is part of Hetu Luoshu. Taoism has always believed that this system can be used to calculate the past and the future. , but it also evolved from this picture.”

Then, Academician Sheng told several people in detail about some discoveries related to cultural relics, as well as the Hetu Luoshu.

And gave Huang Huotu a photocopy of a stone rubbings, and asked them to take it back to study and study to see if they could find clues.

Coming out of the Nangang Research Institute, the four of them were about to get in the car and leave. Huang Huotu suddenly found a red envelope under the front wheel, and subconsciously wanted to pick it up and have a look.

Just as they were about to meet each other, Lin Ge grabbed Huang Huotu's wrist and asked, "Officer Huang, you can't just pick up the red envelopes on the side of the road."

"Ah? I just want to see if someone lost it and return it to the owner. But, is there any explanation for this?" Huang Huotu asked curiously.

Lin Ge picked up the red envelope, put it between his index finger and middle finger, and said with a smile, "Do you think it's money, or something like hair?"

"Huh?" Huang Huotu obviously didn't understand what Lin Ge meant.

Lin Ge opened the red packet and shook it on the ground. A small strand of hair fell out of the red packet. He flipped his hand and took out a burning talisman, lit it, and threw it at the hair on the ground.

"Amazing, how do you know it's hair in there?"

"It's amazing, master, how did you ignite this talisman?"

Huang Huotu and Kevin exclaimed at the same time.
