Sweeping the Infinity from Apprenticeship to Chen You

Chapter 14 The Unchanged Plot

It is different from Chen You, who says "mind your own business and live longer", but is actually worried about the safety of the residents of Tongzilou.

Lin Ge saw that Zhong Fa did not hesitate to use sorcery on himself, and in the end he wanted to commit suicide to become a ghost.The first thing that comes to mind is that even Zhong Fa has become a ghost, so does the plot of "Zombie" also deviate from the original work, the final boss is no longer the zombie king, but the ghost Zhong Fa?

Just as Lin Ge was staring at Zhongfa's corpse downstairs and lost in thought, he suddenly noticed four figures appearing at the entrance of Tongzilou.

These four figures are at least two meters tall, dressed in ancient Tang costumes, and each holding a tattered paper umbrella, just like the "yin errand" that appeared in the movie!
In the movie, Zhong is terminally ill. He was supposed to be seduced by a ghost after his death, but he used sorcery to continue his life. As a result, the ghost failed to seduce his soul several times.

Lin Ge thought to himself, Zhong Fa is dead this time, and if the errant snatched his soul away, there will be nothing else to do later?

"Master, look at the household registration...that is, a errand?" Lin Ge asked intentionally.

Chen You had already seen Yin Er, so he naturally knew what Lin Ge was thinking, and said in a deep voice, "I see. They can't take Zhong Fa's soul away."

Lin Ge asked in confusion, "Why?"

Chen You explained: "People breathe their last breath in the world before they die. When Zhong Fa jumped off the building, all the little ghosts in the house followed him down. I suspect that the souls of these little ghosts were all sucked into his body by him. To tick the clock If you lose your soul, you have to catch the little ghost first."

Lin Ge asked back: "It's not a difficult task for Yin Er, is it?"

"It's not difficult, but it's troublesome. The little devil is difficult to deal with, and these errands won't spend such effort to catch the little devil." Chen You said.

Lin Ge:? ? ?
trouble?

So, leave it unchecked?

"Is it too childish to untick it just because of 'trouble'?" Lin Ge asked puzzled.

"Take one soul at a time, if one less soul is hooked, they will not be held accountable. If dozens of souls are hooked back, just checking the identity is enough for them to check for months, or even years. It's you, are you hooked? "Chen You asked back.

"It's such an easy job to do." Lin Ge sighed.

Chen You snorted coldly and said, "The dirty and tiring work is thrown to the bottom. If the bottom is exhausted, the bottom will be too lazy to do it. Everyone is bad, do less and make less mistakes, do the worst work and get the best treatment. Otherwise Why do you think people want to be judged whether they live or die?"

While Chen You was talking, when Lin Ge looked at the household registration again, he found that the four ghosts had disappeared.

"Go down and have a look." Chen You turned and walked towards the door.

Zhong Fa jumped to his death. The courtyard of Tongzilou was already full of people, and someone called the police.Chen You and Lin Ge squeezed into the crowd and became "watchers".

Although the forensic doctor found that the cause of death was "falling to death", the bullet holes on Zhong Fa's body also aroused the suspicion of the police. After investigation, it was found that the injury was caused by the Mainland police model 97.

The police immediately took all the residents of Tongzilou under control and conducted a gunshot test. Finally, trace elements were detected on Lin Ge's cuffs and shoulders, and he was identified as a suspect, and Chen Youyi, who testified for him, was taken away and imprisoned.

But Tongzilou was built decades ago, and even the elevators are not equipped with cameras, let alone the corridors.

Without monitoring, it would be difficult for the police to investigate. In addition, they could not find the murder weapon and Zhong Fa's family's evil bottles and jars, so this case became an unsolved case.

However, what the residents of Tongzilou didn't know was that when the police collected evidence at Zhong Fa's house, they found that the gray powder was actually ground from mud and ashes.

In addition, bones that had not been ground into powder were found in some jars, and it was detected that the age of the deceased was not very old.

Combined with the disappearance cases in previous years, Zhong Fa changed from a "victim" to a "criminal" overnight.

Some people are afraid of trouble and don't want to investigate further, so the matter will be left alone.

A few days later, Lin Ge and Chen You were released.The two took turns taking a shower, changed into clean clothes, and went to the Fried Restaurant for lunch.

Although the residents of Tongzilou learned in the latest announcement that the two were only there to assist in the investigation, they still cannot avoid being pointed at.Lin Ge is nothing more than a new resident of Tongzilou, and even Chen You, who has always been popular, has also received all kinds of cold words, which is a bit embarrassing.

However, Chen You played the word "mourning" to the fullest, as if he was used to seeing the warmth and coldness of people, and in turn comforted Lin Ge to be more careful.

The two were having dinner at a fried restaurant, listening to Ah Wei gossip about Tongzilou these days.Lin Ge was stunned when he heard Ah Wei complaining to Chen You that the business was getting worse and worse recently, there were fewer regular customers, and even Aunt Mei seldom came to the restaurant to order food.

In the movie, after Uncle Dong fell to his death, Aunt Mei asked Zhong Fa to help revive Uncle Dong, and Zhong Fa tricked Aunt Mei into refining the corpse at home.From that day on, Aunt Mei's mental state became somewhat abnormal, and she rarely appeared in front of her neighbors.

Lin Ge originally thought that Zhong Fa was dead, so the original plot deviated from the track. He only needed to join hands with Chen You to deal with Zhong Fa, the ghost who returned in two days.

But now it seems that it is not that simple?
"Brother Wei, hasn't Aunt Mei been here for a few days?" Lin Ge asked.

Awei replied: "How many days? Oh, how many days, I didn't pay much attention at ordinary times, it should start from the day you were taken away?"

Lin Ge was shocked. He suddenly realized that he had overlooked a key detail in the movie, that is, when Ah Hao came to the fried restaurant to find Chen You that night, it was the time when Zhong Fa led the kid to lure Uncle Dong to fall to his death.

At that time, Lin Ge's attention was focused on the hidden plot, and he was ambushed by Zhong Fa, so he ignored this point.

Thinking about it now, Zhong Fa's target probably wasn't him, but happened to run into Lin Ge on the way home after killing Uncle Dong.Or he was worried that Lin Ge heard the movement in the stairwell and ran into his plan before making a move, or he wanted to take the opportunity to solve the hidden trouble... Anyway, his goal in the first place was not Lin Ge, but Uncle Dong!

In other words, that night, Uncle Dong had already died in the hands of Zhong Fa just like in the movie.

But Lin Ge couldn't understand one thing. Zhong Fa was blocked at home by himself and Chen You the next day, so he wouldn't have the chance to teach Aunt Mei how to refine the corpse.

At this time, will Aunt Mei still refine the corpse at home?
"Master, I'm done eating. I'm going back to the house to catch up on sleep. Do you want to go back to Tongzilou together?" Lin Ge got up and asked.

Chen You smoked a cigarette and waved his hands: "Haven't you slept enough in the past few days? You go back by yourself, and clean up the kitchen messed up by your chicken."

"it is good."

Lin Ge returned to Tongzilou and went straight to Aunt Mei's house.Standing at the door of Aunt Mei's house, he smelled a pungent smell of blood as his sense of smell became acute.

dong dong!

Lin Ge knocked on the door and asked loudly, "Aunt Mei, are you home? I have some clothes, please mend them for me!"

dong dong!

"Aunt May?"

Lin Ge knocked for a long time, but there was no sound from the door.At this time, the grandmother in the next room opened the door and said, "Are you looking for Aunt Mei? She's not at home these days."

"That's it, thank you grandma."

"It's okay." After saying that, Grandma was about to close the door and go home, still muttering: "I don't know whose garbage was left behind, making the corridor stink to death."

Lin Ge waited for Grandma to return to the house, looked left and right to see if there was no one in the corridor, took out the butcher knife, and stabbed a few times at the wooden board above the door lock, then raised his foot and pushed it hard with his knee, the old door made a "click", It broke directly.

Lin Ge held the butcher knife in one hand, and slowly opened the door with the other.The curtains in the room were tightly drawn, and the whole room exuded a damp smell.

"Heaven's Eye!"

Lin Ge wiped his eyes with two fingers, and looked into the room.There was no black air, not even gray smoke, and everything seemed normal.

Lin Ge touched the switch next to the door, and with a click, the lights in the room turned on. In the living room, there were dozens of clothes covered in dust bags, ranging from coarse cloth clothes to costumes.

Lin Ge observed for a while and made sure that there was no one in the room, so he walked in.Passing by the kitchen, I saw a mess inside.Birds with black feathers were thrown on the ground, and there was still a large pool of blood stains on the chopping board, even the sink was not spared.

Lin Ge bent down and took a look at a bird. It was a crow that had been drained of blood.There was a slight sound from the cabinet. Lin Ge held the butcher's knife horizontally in front of him, and slowly opened the cabinet. Unexpectedly, there was an iron cage inside, and there were several dying crows inside.

Lin Ge walked quickly to the toilet with the butcher's knife in hand, but saw that the bathtub was filled with mud, but there was a large space in the middle, obviously the body that was originally buried here was gone.When I went to the bedroom, I saw an empty coffin hanging on the open space.

According to the statement in the movie, to refine a corpse, one must choose a place of four shades, a dilapidated situation.Therefore, Zhong Fa asked Aunt Mei to bury Uncle Dong in the bathtub with soil in the toilet, so that there was no need to find a place to dig a hole to bury the body.

Then, place Uncle Dong's body in a coffin made of cedar wood with the heaviest yin, away from the ground.Use crow blood instead of chicken blood, cooperate with the gossip hanging in Uncle Dong's heart, and absorb the energy of Yin.

Then stick the purple talisman on the forehead, inhale a drop of blood, and drip it into the doll.Putting on the mask of copper coins, Uncle Dong can be revived after seven days.

"Why did Zhong Fa die the next day, and Aunt Mei can still refine the corpse?"

Lin Ge couldn't figure it out, but now is obviously not the time to worry about these issues, but to find the missing Aunt Mei and Uncle Dong.

Lin Ge found the neighborhood from Tongzilou, trying to find Aunt Mei and Uncle Dong, but the neighbors said that they hadn't seen the old couple a few days ago.

In the afternoon, Chen You asked Ah Wei to watch the store and go home to rest.On the one hand, people are already mourned, and they have just been released, and they have no motivation.On the other hand, the cheap apprentice went back to sleep for most of the day, fearing that he would starve to death at home.

When I got home, there was no one in the house.Chen You didn't think much about it, and started dinner. Just as he was going to the kitchen to serve the dishes, he heard footsteps coming from the door.

Chen You thought that Lin Ge was back, so he said without turning his head, "You have a really good nose. You just came back after you smelled the food."

At this moment, Ah Hao's voice came to mind in the living room: "Brother You, I want to ask you for help."

Chen You turned around and saw that it was Ah Hao, and his face suddenly sank.

He still hasn't figured out how to deal with Zhong Fa Huihun, so he has no time to "help" as a friendly neighbor.

Chen You took the bowls and chopsticks and walked to the table and sat down, and said in a cold tone, "What can I do for you? You have to go to Uncle Yan for this matter, he likes to help."

"2442. Uncle Yan told me what happened in 2442, Brother You, only you can help." Ahao said.

Chen You leaned back on the chair, raised his hand, and pointed at the five elements and eight trigrams plate on the wall with a slightly disdainful tone: "Do you think the museum accepts these rotten things? Why don't you ask someone who collects rags, look at this How much can a tattered set be sold for?”

"Your father left it to you?" Ah Hao asked.

Chen You snorted and said, "It's been many generations, and the brown ones on it are blood stains. The erosion is very deep, and it can't be washed off. In the past, there were a lot of dirty things in our home village, and these scraps of iron were used to get rid of them. But now, Who else would learn these things except that silly boy in my family?"

Ah Hao asked again: "Where's your family?"

"In our line of work, how many of them will end well? We have so many generations. To put it mildly, it is home in the world. To put it badly, it is wandering. This is the last place my father brought me. I will leave in one day, who knows that I have lived for decades in the blink of an eye. Now I have a new apprentice, I don’t want to be like my father, hum, meddle in my own business, and never come back.” Chen You picked up his glass and took a sip .

Ah Hao didn't say anything, took out a few pieces of drawing paper from his pocket, spread them out, and handed them to Chen You: "Xiaobai's drawing."

There are weird crayon drawings on the drawing paper, eyes on the wall, a hanged figure in the middle of the room, and a shadow figure with a group of gray figures.

Chen You threw the drawing paper on the table: "So what about Xiaobai's drawing, last time in 2442 I did my best. I'm afraid it's your problem, not their fault. Yang Feng is stupid. If you are sick, go to the doctor , don’t stay here and teach the kids badly. I’m just a fried sticky rice guy.”

Ahao asked: "If you have the ability to help others, why don't you help?"

Chen You snorted and said, "What does other people's affairs concern you? How do you know that I can help? Are you familiar with me? Are you familiar with them?"

Ah Hao asked with a cold face: "In a word, to help or not to help?"

"No, I have the time and energy. Why don't I keep teaching my disciples? They can be regarded as successors." Chen You took a sip of his wine. He didn't tell about Zhong Fa's return to his soul. Ordinary people can't help with it. , will only increase troubles in vain.

Zhong Fa's matter has not been resolved yet, so he doesn't have the heart to help others.

"If you said it so easily, you wouldn't keep your father's stuff." Ahao picked up the drawing paper on the table and got up angrily.

"Hey."

Chen You stopped him and said, "People are divided into good and evil, and talismans are also divided into good and evil talismans. But the darker the color of the talisman paper, the greater the power borrowed by the caster. Borrowing the law itself is an extremely evil The way to leave no room for others, also leave no room for yourself. Believe me, things are not that simple. Mind your own business and live longer. It is best to move out as soon as possible."

Combined with Zhong Fa's death and what happened on the 24th floor, Chen You also figured out the key point. Although he didn't say it clearly, he chose to remind Ah Hao in the end.

At this time, Lin Ge happened to come back and ran into Ah Hao who was walking to the door.

When Chen You saw Lin Ge, he beckoned: "It's just in time for me to come back, the food is not cold yet, hurry up and roll over here."

Ah Hao left, Lin Ge sat down and told Chen You what happened today with a serious face.

"Aunt Mei and Uncle Zhong are missing?" Chen You's expression darkened.

Lin Ge nodded: "I searched the entire Tongzilou and the neighborhood, but I couldn't find out where the two were going. And in Aunt Mei's house, I found traces of refining the corpse."

Just as Lin Ge was talking, Chen You's phone rang. When he picked it up, his expression changed drastically: "What? Zhong Fa's body is gone?"
