Chapter 131 She Is My Sister
Lin Ge took out a burning charm and lit it, looked at Kevin and smiled: "It's just a little trick, don't worry too much."
Kevin was so shocked that he couldn't speak: "It's amazing, Master, don't you even need to buy a lighter when you smoke?"
Lin Ge: ...I am practicing Taoism just so I can smoke without having to buy a lighter?
Lin Ge didn't know if he had changed Kevin's mind about not believing in ghosts and gods, but he definitely believed in magic in this world now.
Lin Ge looked at the hair burned off by the burning talisman on the ground and said: "In the past, in some remote areas, if a woman died unmarried, she could not enter the ancestral hall. The tribesmen would hold a 'haunting' ceremony for the deceased, and the deceased's hair or The token is put into a red envelope and thrown into the street. If a man picks up the red envelope, the bride's family will tie him back and consummate the marriage."
"I figured out that Officer Huang is not only married, but also has a daughter. Leave such a good thing to me." Lin Ge said with a smile.
Huang Huotu swallowed his saliva: "Taoist Master, don't you feel... scared? Who did this kind of prank?"
"It's okay, it's not a big problem. I've been too busy lately and I'm eager to get into trouble." Lin Ge said calmly.
Huanghuotu:...
Lin Ge took out a soul-chasing talisman and handed it to Huang Huotu: "Put this talisman away. If you encounter trouble, I will rush over to help you as soon as possible."
Kevin came over and said, "This talisman is so magical, how can it still be located?"
"I'll give you a few more talismans. Remember, if you encounter a problem that cannot be solved with a gun, you must notify me as soon as possible." Lin Ge said.
Lin Ge originally wanted to show Huang Huotu the live broadcast he recorded earlier and ask him to help investigate the female anchor Ruo Nan.
But when I thought that contacting this cheating female anchor might lead to being targeted by the Buddha Mother, I gave up the idea.
"Buddha's Mother, who gave me points, suddenly stopped giving me points. I miss her so much."
Afterwards, Kevin and Huang Huotu returned to the police station to continue investigating Fu Lu, while Lin Ge returned to the hotel, lying on the bed, reading the news, and recalling the plot of the movie "Twin Eyes".
According to the development of the plot, Huang Huotu will study the rubbings and Hetu Luoshu after returning to the police station, and then discover the murderer's order of killing.
Although Lin Ge can directly guide Huang Huotu to investigate the True Immortal Temple in advance, firstly, it may interrupt the immortality ceremony of Corpse Jiexian and completely cut off the path of "peace talks"; secondly, this is indeed not an evil method, but an orthodox one. The method of ascension.
In ancient times, it wasn't a big problem if you could ascend by killing a few scum. The dead person in the play is either the mastermind behind the chemical case or a priest who sells arms. But now is a society ruled by law. It doesn’t matter whether you kill good or bad people, as long as you kill someone, it is against the law.
But when the "believers" of the Taoist temple fought with the police, the original right path deviated from the track.
What Lin Ge thought was that if he could change this on his own, it might be an advantage in the "peace talks" with Zhi Jie Xian.
After all, to help you erase the only stain, you still have to lift the table, which is a bit unreasonable. Then it seems reasonable for me to ask a bunch of gods to beat you up.
Of course, the biggest reason why the originally simple plot became so tricky was that Lin Ge didn't know which office building in Taiwan the True Immortal Temple was hidden in, so he could only follow the plot and find it with Huang Huotu's help.
Therefore, in order to ensure that Huang Huotu would not be killed in advance due to the changed plot, he deliberately chose a hotel near the police station and gave him a soul-chasing talisman to monitor the other party's situation at all times.
Next, all we can do is wait.
After Huang Huotu and Kevin returned to the police station, they began to study the copies of cultural relics they obtained from Academician Sheng.
By comparing the text on the stone rubbings with the Hetu Luoshu, he found that when the chessboard on the stone slab was overlapped with the text on another copy of the document, the few blank "circles" could just make a few circles. Words, discovered this and quickly woke up Kevin.
"Look, these words are, Fu, Miao, Jing, Wang... Fu should be Liao Zhenfu, and Miao is Qiu Miaofang. They happen to be the first two deceased."
"As for the third word 'Jing', although the deceased was a Christian pastor, when Christianity was first introduced to China, it was called 'Jing' religion."
After listening to Huang Huotu's explanation, Kevin said, "You mean the murderer used this method to find his target?"
Huang Huotu nodded: "Or as Taoist Lin said, the murderer is performing some kind of mysterious ritual in this way."
As he spoke, Huang Huotu overlapped another rubbing and printed out a few new words: "'One who does not believe in ghosts and gods', 'Shaoyang', and 'Taiyin'. These all come from the same rubbing. When combined, perhaps It is related to 'rich', 'wonderful', 'view' and 'prosperous'."
Kevin pondered: "This means that the next victim is 'Wang'."
"That's right." Huang Huotu nodded.
Kevin flipped through a stack of information and said: "In the afternoon, the Investigation Bureau sent news that the mold sent to Beautiful Country for testing is a mixture of microorganisms and insect corpses, called entomogenic fungi. But this species is currently There are no records.”
"Furthermore, they detected high concentrations of serotonin and dopamine in the blood of the deceased. Under normal circumstances, dopamine is harmless to the body and is actually beneficial. But... the dopamine in the body of the deceased is five thousand times that of the average person. Such high levels The concentration is equivalent to inhaling a ton of powder at one time, or having orgasms continuously for forty years.”
"In other words, these dopamines can cause the deceased to produce various hallucinations, but why each hallucination is different is currently unknown."
Huang Huotu pondered: "It seems that the murderer's ability is to make people enter a state of excitement or hallucination."
"That's about it." Kevin nodded.
At this time, Huang Huotu's phone rang. He picked up the phone and after saying a few words, he looked at Kevin with a solemn expression: "The victim of the word 'Wang' has appeared."
When Kevin heard this, he immediately picked up his clothes and Huang Huotu and prepared to rush to the scene of the incident. As soon as he left the police station, he saw Lin Ge waiting outside.
"Taoist?" Huang Huotu was surprised to see Lin Ge.
After the town was massacred by the ghost master, Lin Ge was really not sure whether the Taiwan Bureau would be promoted by the Corpse Master overnight.
After seeing Huang Huotu's Soul Chasing Talisman move, he prepared to follow it and take a look to prevent accidents.
Lin Ge pinched his fingers and said, "I figured a new case would happen. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I'll go take a look with you."
"This..." Huang Huotu was a little embarrassed.
Lin Ge said: "It's okay. When you meet your colleagues, just introduce to them that I am a student of Academician Sheng and an expert in anthropology. I am here to help."
Huang Huotu thought for a while, and this explanation was reasonable.
After a while, a car stopped in front of the three people. The person who came to pick them up was Huang Huotu's only friend in the criminal team and the leader of the criminal team.
On the way, the team leader handed a newspaper to the co-pilot Huang Huotu and said: "This is the newspaper from the day before yesterday. The deceased's name was Chen Liangwang. In the news about "Unfilial Raising of Children, Old Couple Suicides", the old couple's son also died. His name is Chen Liangwang. We called his home to check, and his family said he was going to visit Luoyin. He probably felt that his parents had some inheritance that they had not told him, and wanted to ask about the inheritance in this way. "
"Guan Luoyin, do you know where it is?" Huang Huotu asked.
The team leader replied: "I called and asked. In the greater Taipei area alone, there are one to two hundred places where you can watch the sunset. It is impossible to check from this point on."
Guanluoyin is a Taoist magic that allows the living to meet their deceased relatives and have a brief communication.
Huang Huotu handed the newspaper to Kevin and Lin Ge to read. Lin Ge glanced at it and saw that it was indeed the fourth deceased in the plot.
Four people who deserved their crimes died, and the remaining two "sacrifice" were Kevin, the "non-believer in ghosts and gods", and Huang Huotu, the "Shaoyang Taiyin".
This is also the reason why Lin Ge followed the two of them. These are the last two "keys" of Zhijie Xian. Whether it is fighting or talking, holding the keys in his own hands will give him more confidence.
When they arrived at the crime scene, Kevin went to the car where the body was dumped to collect evidence. Huang Huotu asked the police who took the confession about the circumstances of the crime, and Lin Ge observed Chen Liangwang's body through his eyes.
The cause of Chen Liangwang's death was that someone took out his heart from his back and put a "gou ultimatum" on the wound.
Judging from the expression of the deceased, he did not feel pain when he died, but was very happy. It was obvious that he was also infected by the insect fungus.
But I have to say that the "knives" in Zhenxian Temple are really fast. In the battle between the Taoist temple and the police in the later plot, the knives used by the two Taoist priests are really fast.
With a wave of his hand, he could easily cut off the whole head. Now it seems that Lin Ge suspected that it must have been enchanted through Taoism, otherwise there would be so many magical weapons.
Kevin found something strange about the cushions on the body dump truck. It was unusual for such a small van to use such expensive cushions. He collected some evidence and prepared to check the data for comparison.
Huang Huotu, on the other hand, thought of the new discoveries he had made from rubbings, and wanted to find Academician Sheng again to see what he thought about it.
The three of them came to Academician Sheng's home. While Academician Sheng was communicating with Huang Huotu, Kevin borrowed a computer to look up clues about the cushions.
Academician Sheng got the complete case photos this time. After comparing and observing them for a long time, he slapped the table and sighed: "Oh, why didn't you show me this earlier? This guy wants to become an immortal."
"Become an immortal?" Huang Huotu looked at Lin Ge subconsciously, thinking, could this be the mysterious ritual that the Taoist said?
Academician Sheng explained: "In the Taoist sect, it is advocated that there are five kinds of hells, namely the hell of ice, the hell of fire, the hell of intestines, the hell of gouging out the heart, and the hell of pulling out the tongue. After the trial of the five hells, the sixth hell is Tao, practice and become an immortal. But how to pass through the five hells is not something we ordinary people can imagine."
With that said, Academician Sheng handed Huang Huotu a book with pictures of the five hells.
Lin Ge stood behind Huang Huotu and observed the book, then took it and flipped through it. The pictures were somewhat similar to the eighteen levels of hell. The reason why he didn't answer Huang Huotu's questions at the crime scene before was because he wanted to see these things in Academician Sheng's hands.
Because as far as he knew, there was no such thing as the five hells in Taoism, so he guessed that this was something made up in the movie.
Academician Sheng continued: "According to records, there was a Huang Shang in the Song Dynasty, which is the Huang Shang enshrined in Wong Tai Sin Temple on Hong Kong Island. Before he achieved enlightenment, he killed several mandrills. The so-called mandrills meant that they had committed sins. A person who is neither human nor ghost. According to the five hells, he sent mandrills into hell and sublimated himself. It can be seen that these four people who were killed were all evil people with moral shortcomings. "
"It is said that this Huang Shang can use talismans and make alchemy. He has double pupils in his eyes. He can see thousands of miles by day and spy on ghosts and gods at night. The so-called double pupils mean that there are two pupils in a person's eyes. Only with double pupils can you find them. Mandrill.”
Huang Huotu nodded and asked again: "Teacher Sheng, I found four more words through the rubbings you gave me, Shaoyang Taiyin. What does this mean?"
Academician Sheng replied: "From the diagram of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, these two qi represent the period from May to July, as well as fire and earth."
Hearing this, Huang Huotu was stunned. He immediately thought of his own name, so according to the murderer's pattern of attacks, he was probably the next target.
Lin Ge stood behind and listened to Academician Sheng's explanation. If it had been half a year ago, he might not have reacted at all.
But now, as he comes into contact with more and more, and reads more and more Taoist and metaphysical books, he quickly discovers the problem.
Academician Sheng's explanation is wrong.
Because according to the "On the Ten Stems and Twelve Branches" in the traditional Chinese numerology book "Ziping Zhenquan":
Between heaven and earth, there is only one breath. Only movement and stillness can be divided into yin and yang.
There are old and young, so they are divided into four images.
When the old man is very active and very still, it is the sun and the yin;
When the young person first moves and becomes still, it is Shaoyin and Shaoyang.
There are four images, and the five elements are contained in them.
Water refers to Taiyin;
Fire is the sun;
Wood is Shaoyang;
Gold is Shaoyin;
Earth is the combination of yin and yang, old and young, wood, fire, metal, and water.
…
In other words, for a girl who wants to turn her corpse into an immortal, even if she goes to Shuimu Nianhua, it is more reliable than looking for Huang Huotu.
"Huang! I discovered something!"
At this time, Kevin rushed into the room and said to the two of them: "The interior of the murderer's car is made of anti-static foam, and the sunshade paper of the car is also a special material that can completely block ultraviolet rays. In the beautiful country, Cars with this configuration are usually used to transport IC integrated circuits. All clues point to the murderer being a high-tech person. And these people should have deep social connections."
The three of them said goodbye to Academician Sheng and took a car to the Science and Technology Park to investigate. Lin Ge didn't say much along the way. He always felt that something was fishy.
If he goes by his reasoning, then the Corpse Jie Immortal should have found the wrong target and failed to become an immortal. After all, everyone found the wrong person, and the ceremony would not be possible.
However, this is an error explained by Academician Sheng, and it does not mean that people who dissect corpses will also make this mistake.
The three of them rested in the car for a night, and waited until nine o'clock the next day to go directly to the management area of the science and technology park and give the van's license plate to the management office for investigation.
Soon, the management staff found relevant information for the three people.
"The truck you want to check is the 'First Advanced' delivery truck. However, the 'First Advanced' ceased to exist three years ago."
Huang Huotu asked: "What do you mean you're gone?"
The staff member replied: "First Advanced is a company that designs ICs. The bosses are two Ph.D.s who returned from studying abroad in a beautiful country. The company was very profitable at first. Later, the two became religious and became obsessed with it, so they sold the company to others. It seems like Sold for two billion.”
Lin Ge: ... Facts have proved that if you don’t have money, don’t cultivate immortality, otherwise you may lose your wealth before you even step through.
Huang Huotu asked: "Do you still have information on these two people?"
"I'll print a copy for you. These people are really obsessed. I heard that they spent a lot of money to move a temple to Taiwan intact. It seems to be a historical monument. They demolished the temple Now, ship it over and put it back together brick by brick."
"It's crazy."
After Huang Huotu saw the latest office address registered on the information form, he was about to take out his mobile phone to inform the team leader of the news, but was held down by Lin Ge.
"Don't worry, let's go take a look first. If your group can handle the situation, I can also handle it. If I can't handle it, then no matter how many of you go there, you will end up dead."
Huang Huotu asked in confusion: "Taoist Priest, what do you mean by this?"
"Let's go, let's talk as we walk." Now that we have found the True Immortal Temple, the next step is to see whether to fight or talk.
Lin Ge made two phone calls, and then went to the found address of Zhenxian Temple with Huang Huotu and Kevin.
His explanation to Huang Huotu and Huang Huotu was very simple. He calculated with his fingers that if he went directly to the group, he would encounter a serious disaster.
The best way is for them to go to the place to check the situation first, and then find an opportunity to contact the team and mobilize people to come over for support.
Lin Ge's idea was also very simple. It was outrageous enough to have a corpse-revealing immortal in a Taoist temple. If all the Taoist priests were at the boss level, it would be of no use to anyone.
After returning to the hotel to pick up Ou Yongqi, Lin Ge and the four of them came to the high-end office building shown at the address, but Lin Ge was not in a hurry to go in. Huang Huotu curiously asked him who he was waiting for.
Lin Ge only said "Waiting for reinforcements", and then began to tell the two of them his speculations. He tried his best to demonize the Taoist temple, describing it as a situation that bullets could not solve and could only be solved by magic, in order to delay Huang Huo Tuo Ren. idea.
Just before noon, a car arrived in front of the building. Jiamin ran over holding a statue of Zhong Kui: "Director Lin, the things have been delivered."
"Thank you, please come here." Lin Ge took the Zhong Kui statue, stuffed it into Huang Huo Tu's arms, and asked, "Have you ever believed in Zhong Kui before?"
Huang Huotu hesitated for a moment and shook his head.
"Now you believe it." Lin Ge said seriously.
Huanghuotu:...
Jia Min asked: "Taoist Master Lin, do you need me to accompany you?"
"Being not."
After a while, Lin Junkai took a taxi, and Lin Ge asked him and Jiamin to wait at a nearby beverage shop. If there was no news about him within thirty minutes, he would ask Zhong Kui and Hu Ye to try to catch him.
Of course, this was Lin Ge's last resort for himself. If he didn't use the best, he wouldn't necessarily be able to benefit from it if he did...
The four of them entered the elevator of the building. Although Lin Ge didn't even want to take Huang Huotu and Kevin with him, because in the original drama, both of them were sent, and Huang Huotu enjoyed the experience of "one person attaining the Tao, chickens and dogs ascending to heaven" because he was the "unsolver" of the Corpse Execution Immortal. However, he couldn't let go of his wife and daughter and gave up on becoming an immortal.
Generally speaking, according to the plot of the movie, Huang Huotu and Kevin are the last two keys to the corpse's ascension.
If they couldn't reach an agreement, Lin Ge would have no choice but to find a way to prevent Zhi Jie Xian from getting the key.
The elevator door opened. Strangely, there was no one at the front desk outside. Lin Ge reminded: "Be careful."
With that said, he stepped out of the elevator.
"Officer Huang, hug the statue of Zhong Kui." Lin Ge said, but found no response from behind.
Looking back, there was no sign of Huang Huotu and Kevin.
Even Ou Yongqi is missing.
"Um?"
Lin Ge took out a few manifesting charms and lit them, but there was nothing at the front desk or the long corridor leading to the depths.
Lin Ge patted his travel bag and asked, "Is anyone here? Let me know."
"oh?"
Master Ji responded, seemingly dissatisfied with being disturbed from his sleep. The little girl raised a puff of black smoke and gestured.
"Even a chicken can sleep in this environment, which proves that the safety index is pretty good." Lin Ge joked and walked towards the corridor.
At the end, there was a huge black iron door. Lin Ge had four times the strength of an ordinary person, but it took a lot of effort to push it open.
Behind the door is a gym hidden in an office building. But the strange thing is that there is no one in the gym.
In the True Immortal Temple, the silence was a bit terrifying.
Lin Ge took out a bronze sword and pierced the five fingers of his right hand. Then he held the Five Elements and Bagua plate in his left hand and inserted the five fingers into the five holes.
Lin Ge's spiritual power has now reached 100. Although he cannot "equip" the Five Elements Bagua Pan, he can already use the most basic functions.
Adding the effect of the Ring of True Love to one graft is equivalent to two chances for him to "save" damage.
All the way to the deepest part of the Taoist temple, Lin Ge found two huge stone tablets unearthed from the ruins. He tried touching the two stone tablets, but did not get any useful hints.
"It's not that it can't be practiced, nor is it a skill." Lin Ge originally thought that since this thing came from Taoism, he should be able to understand it or get hints.
Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Ge looked at the bottom of the stone tablet. According to the arrangement in the movie, lying in the dark space below is the "girl" who wants to become a fairy, which is also the big boss behind the scenes of the whole show.
Lin Ge's Heavenly Eye and the Five Elements Bagua Pan did not detect any evil fluctuations in the surroundings, so he stepped forward to investigate and found two small holes.
Lin Ge used a dagger to push open the secret compartment, inside which lay a girl with short hair and a white dress. There seemed to be a wound on her stomach, and the blood stained the white dress red.
When Lin Ge saw the face of the short-haired girl clearly, he was stunned.
"She's my sister."
A voice sounded behind Lin Ge.
