I am your natural enemy.

Chapter 426: Three cock crows, getting away with it (8k)

Fan Zeyun's tone was filled with reluctance, a little ridicule, and a little disbelief.

Wen Yan could tell that Fan Zeyun hoped to be caught and then be exposed.

When Wen Yan was looking at the information before, he saw the second separate case of Li Gui's revenge. In the corner of the photo in that file, there was a pattern that came from Fan Zeyun.

In addition, in the first ghost market murder case, there were survivors, and the survivors were basically victims.

He guessed that this was probably not an accident.

When the blackened ghost lost its mind and went on a killing spree, there were obvious signs of selecting targets. This was obviously a sign of reason.

At that time, no one cared about it. They only thought that it was just a lantern as a signal sign. In fact, it was the biggest introduction.

The lantern itself is just a symbol to convey information. If it is replaced by an ordinary lamp, it will be the same.

This also gave Fan Zeyun a good opportunity to take action.

He might not even need to take the initiative to do anything, just find a child and break the lantern, and the people in the ghost market would just replace the lantern.

In the materials of the Lieyang Department, they only mentioned that the lantern was a signal. As for the lantern itself, no one cared about it at all.

At that time, a mad and darkened ghost was something beyond the original spiritual energy recovery progress. Don't expect anyone to recognize a lantern that had no record at all.

What was going on back then can't be understood just by looking at the records. Some details should have been omitted. Looking at the records, Wen Yan can also feel that the strength, personnel, and authority of the Lieyang Department back then were far inferior to those of the current Lieyang Department. Those who are willing to compromise, don’t know what happened in the end to become what they are in the end.

Wen Yan can't control what happened decades ago, and he doesn't know clearly, but the current things are related to him.

Wen Yan opened his phone and pulled out the lantern picture generated by the black box. It was most similar to the lantern he saw when he was summoning souls from the underworld.

"Have you ever made a lantern similar to this one?"

"I've done it before, that soul-soothing lantern, but I didn't make this one, and the picture isn't right either."

"This picture is just a computer-generated diagram. Can I ask who owns that lantern?"

"I only know whose hands it was initially and who it ended up in, I don't know."

Speaking of this, Fan Zeyun looked complicated, paused for a moment, and then added.

"This time I risked my body to go to the underworld, just because I had a feeling in the dark that the soul-soothing lantern from back then seemed to appear on the underworld.

I thought someone had the audacity to go to the underworld with a soul-soothing lantern, but got lost there and lost the lantern on the underworld road.

Unexpectedly, after going down, I could no longer sense it. "

When Fan Zeyun said this, he saw that the door curtain was pushed open by the big rooster. The big rooster held its head high, walked forward, tilted its head and looked at the two people inside. As soon as he opened his mouth, he smelled like the old Guanzhong.

"This guy is ready to die in there."

Seeing the big rooster coming in, Fan Zeyun, who had always been calm, immediately became anxious. He wanted to reach out and grab the big rooster first, but he didn't have time to cover the big rooster's mouth.

The big rooster flapped its wings and landed on the kang. It continued to tilt its head and looked at people with one eye. It glanced at Fan Zeyun.

"This coward sticks his butt out. You know what he's going to do. He's just going to find the lantern and destroy it with all his strength. The person with the lantern and himself will die in the vagina together."

Wen Yan looked at the big rooster. It looked very majestic and had bright feathers. In the past, those feathers would have been the best material for making shuttlecocks. Someone would have to squat at both ends to pluck them every three days.

Wen Yan had noticed it just now, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He had seen a lot of monsters. If he saw a monster with no blood or violence, he would just treat it as an ordinary passerby.

"Brother Dao, I beg you, please stop talking." Fan Zeyun wanted to cover the big cock's mouth, but couldn't even grab it. He could only turn around and look at Wen Yan, with a bit of pleading in his tone.

"What happened in the past has nothing to do with Brother Dao. Don't implicate him."

"You are a coward, but you are really a coward. People have come to your door. Do you think I can still hide it? I have eaten so much salt for nothing." The big rooster tilted his head and looked at people with one eye. It's full of ridicule.

Wen Yan smiled. He heard the big cock's words very kindly. This was the kind of talk he heard most when he was a child. The old lady in the orphanage at that time could not speak Mandarin and was an authentic Guanzhong person.

Wen Yan seamlessly switched to the local dialect and waved to the big cock.

"Relax, I'm not here to arrest him. He passed by my door and happened to have something else to do. I just wanted to ask him for advice.

My name is Wen Yan, what do you call me? "

The big cock raised its head and said solemnly.

"My surname is Huang and my given name is Dao. Those who give me face can be called Dao Brother, and those who don't give me face can be called Dao Ye."

"Ha..." Wen Yan laughed out loud. What kind of logic is this?

"Does Brother Dao know any other fairies?"

"What? Are you still trying to talk nonsense?"

"Just asking, I happen to know a lot of other demons."

"Hey, who do you know? You don't know some stinky fox, do you?"

"..."

Wen Yan was speechless. He was afraid that the rooster had some grudge against the fox.

It's right to think about it. Where Granny Fox and the others are located, free-range chicken farms have been born in the local area. It would be damned if they can have a good relationship with this big rooster who speaks with a sarcastic tone.

Fan Zeyun on the side felt relieved when he saw that Wen Yan didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards Brother Dao.

He now feels more and more that he is old and cannot keep up with the times.

It used to be said that chickens were no more than six years old, especially here, it was basically impossible for chickens to live for such a long time.

In order to conceal the existence of Brother Dao, he also raised ordinary chickens. Otherwise, others would have discovered the abnormality long ago.

He had experienced the early twenty years of spiritual energy recovery and had seen many conflicts between aliens and humans. He still thought that the current conflicts might be more intense than before.

But the result was completely different from what he thought.

Now, the thing he was most worried about might not have to worry so much anymore.

At this thought, Fan Zeyun completely let go.

"You want to find that lantern, right?"

"Yes, there are dead souls that are suppressed by that lantern and cannot be summoned."

"Can I know what type of spiritualism it is?"

"Old Heavenly Master of Tianshi Mansion, do you know?"

"know."

"It should be the most powerful soul-calling method besides the master's personal action."

Wen Yan's soul summoning was directly inspired by the violent sun. He was afraid that it would not succeed, so he basically never used normal soul summoning.

In terms of summoning spirits alone, the effect should be similar to that of professionals opening a forum. You can't recruit people like this. The lantern is obviously a bit powerful.

Fan Zeyun frowned slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"The lantern should be completely different from the original one. The lantern I made at that time could not have such a strong effect."

"Can you find it?"

"If the lantern were to be inspired with its true power again, I should be able to sense it."

"Then can you help me find it?"

Fan Zeyun glanced at the big cock.

"Can you help me take care of Brother Dao?"

"Brother Dao, do you want to register with the Lieyang Department? Once you register, you will have a record. The advantage is that you have an identity. You should also know that all the wild animals you see now, even sparrows, belong to the three species. If you catch a toad, you have to squat there for several days. This is the most demon-friendly era in history."

"Yes." Fan Zeyun agreed immediately.

"What do you want, you coward?" Brother Dao was unhappy and shouted.

"If you eat my rice, I can make this decision!" Fan Zeyun replied.

Brother Dao immediately fell silent. He hummed for a long time, but could not say anything to refute. After all, it was what he said himself.

Wen Yan took out his mobile phone, downloaded a form, and filled in the information directly.

"Brother Dao, don't move, let me take a picture of you."

As soon as Brother Dao heard this, he became energetic. He immediately flapped his wings and flew into the room. After a while, he flew out with a piece of bright red silk on his back. After flying on the Kang, he turned his head and looked at Fan Zeyun. .

"What are you doing standing there in a daze? Come and help me, don't think I don't know, I need a red background!"

"..."

Wen Yan and Fan Zeyun were speechless for a moment.

Fan Zeyun got on the kang, opened the red silk cloth, stretched it out and stood behind Brother Dao. Brother Dao stood upright, with his head held high and his eyes very serious.

Wen Yan had no choice but to take a photo of Brother Dao.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Take a few more pictures and I'll choose from them."

After a few minutes, Brother Dao selected one of the photos that looked particularly powerful and nodded with satisfaction.

Wen Yan first filled out the brief information for Brother Dao, which was regarded as registration first, and he was no longer a wild monster. If he did not plan to change his body, nor did he plan to transform, let alone mix in human society, then this would actually be enough. .

For those demons who want to open a shop, want to work, and want to enjoy everything that a human can enjoy after taking shape, they must undergo additional review before they can issue an ID card.

After registering Brother Dao, the atmosphere was far less solemn than before.

Wen Yan also roughly told Fan Zeyun that the current Lieyang Department is no longer the same Lieyang Department that had poor strength, low authority, and was somewhat feared by others during the ten or twenty years ago when it was first founded.

At that time, people were still debating the idea of ​​spiritual energy recovery.

In the early stages, many things cannot be defined clearly.

At most, you can wait until a major event that lasts for several years or decades is over or has stabilized, and then redefine when it started.

"Whenever is more convenient for you, help me confirm the location."

"That's it now."

"Now you can?"

"When the soul is in the Yin state, it's suitable at night, but when the body is in the Yin state, it can only be during the day."

"Okay, that's good work."

Fan Zeyun took out the small incense burner again, re-arranged it, washed his feet with running water, then took out the white lantern and opened the cellar lid.

Wen Yan watched from the side, seeing that Fan Zeyun seemed to be opening an altar, but he was not opening an altar. He worked for a long time before lighting a small white candle wrapped in red cloth with incense.

"This candle cannot be lit with an open flame, it can only be lit like this.

I got this candle by accident. It is made with whale oil as the main ingredient.

For a long time, these were the main materials for everlasting lamps. The difference was only in the addition of other things.

Please follow me later, and don’t leave me more than a foot away. If you are further away, I won’t be able to illuminate you.

After going down, you can't go back under any circumstances, no matter who calls you. "

Speaking of this, Fan Zeyun paused slightly and smiled bitterly.

"Yes, you should be more familiar with it than me.

After waiting for a while, you can summon the spirit and don't worry about me.

Do you have anything else to prepare? If there is anything missing, prepare it early. "

"Well, I take them all with me."

"Okay, let's go."

Fan Zeyun carried a white lantern and entered the cellar. When the dim light of the lantern shone on a corner of the cellar, a narrow passage downwards appeared in that corner.

Entering it, Wen Yan bent down. After walking for a while, the front gradually opened up and turned into a narrow road.

After walking for a few minutes, we finally entered the underworld.

Wen Yanxin said that Fan Zeyun really had two brushes. With his lantern and layout, he was able to create a temporary intersection.

Although it is indeed difficult and uncomfortable to walk, it is indeed a small intersection.

After entering the underworld, not long after walking, Wen Yan saw warm light intertwined with green light from a distance, and he was about to pass a major intersection.

At the intersection, Wen Yan stamped his feet and saw the shadow of an altar rising beneath his feet, and a flag flag erected, swaying gently.

As Wen Yan read out a name, a golden avenue stretched out from the altar and disappeared out of sight.

This time, as before, there was no response. The Golden Avenue came back soon, which still meant that it was available, but it could not be recruited.

Fan Zeyun on the side was dumbfounded, this...is this calling for spirits?

No need to set up an altar, no need for talismans, spells, tactics, and step coordination?

Moreover, the spirit summoning was unexpectedly strong. He looked at the phantom of the altar and the flags on the altar, and his eyes were dizzy. After just one glance, he felt that if he followed this phantom, he could create something real. Yes, how strong it is.

It's a pity that just by looking at the shadow, I can't tell what materials are used and how to make them.

"Same as last time, we still can't recruit, but last time we could only see it the second time."

"It should be someone who cooperated to activate the soul-suppressing lantern. The lantern was not activated automatically."

"Can it be activated automatically?"

Fan Zeyun was silent for a moment and nodded.

"It should be possible. I felt it last time, so I should still be able to try it."

Wen Yan could tell that Fan Zeyun's tone was not right.

"Is it risky?"

"It's not very risky. I have something to ask of you."

"You said."

"Can you take Brother Dao away? I don't have any relatives anymore. He is my only relative. He is not a particularly powerful monster. I am afraid that no one will take care of him in the future. He will offend others blindly and be slaughtered again. He went to stew, and someone in the village was thinking about him before."

"What do you want to do?" "I want to ask you something."

"Did someone suppress the ghost market incident back then? Was it investigated again later?"

"I'm not very clear about the details at that time, but it was true that the scope of the investigation was not expanded at that time. The families of those who died have fallen a lot over the years, some died, and some were admitted."

"I understand, I want to know more details about last time."

Wen Yan roughly said it. When Wen Yan finished speaking, Fan Zeyun let out a sigh of relief after hundreds of Ah Piao rushed out in one breath last time.

"The soul-suppressing lantern must be fixed and cannot be moved casually. Otherwise, it will not be able to suppress so many Ah Piao. It will definitely not change its position in a short period of time, and it cannot be destroyed. If it is destroyed, it will be destroyed immediately. There will be a large group of Ah Piao appearing. If you can’t hide them, just call them again.”

Wen Yan nodded and summoned the spirit again, this time with a different name. When the Golden Light Avenue went out, Fan Zeyun had bitten the middle finger of his right hand, drew a symbol on the palm of his left hand, and pressed his palm on the Golden Light Avenue. .

The next moment, I saw a dimly lit lantern at the other end of the Golden Avenue, floating in the distance from far to near, floating on the Golden Avenue.

And behind the lantern, this time we could see a dense crowd of Ah Piao standing behind, all blocked by the halo of the lantern.

Fan Zeyun's palm with symbols painted in blood was pressed on the golden avenue. Under the halo, it became clearer and clearer.

Fan Zeyun looked at the other side of the Golden Avenue. The familiar feeling had never been so clear before. It was as if he could see with his own eyes where the soul-suppressing lantern was, in what direction, and in its approximate position.

He saw a building that looked like an ancestral hall, and in the middle of the main hall of the ancestral hall, hung a very old-looking soul-crushing lantern.

Under the soul-suppressing lantern, many Ah Piao were suppressed.

Fan Zeyun felt quite uncomfortable seeing that the work he was most proud of when he was most energetic has now become like this.

Gradually, the golden light dissipated. Fan Zeyun looked at the incense he was holding and saw that it was almost burned out.

"Let's go quickly. If you don't leave, it will be too late."

They continued to walk forward, but before they reached the place, the incense in Fan Zeyun's hand was completely extinguished, and the next moment, he stood still.

"My incense is extinguished and I am lost." He remained motionless and said this calmly: "Don't move. I know that you have been on the underworld before, and you must have your own methods. If you listen later, When the rooster crows, just follow the sound and go out.”

Wen Yan said favorably, although he could still see clearly.

He could see that Fan Zeyun's small intersection was very limited. He could only get down from there, and he could only go back from there and go in a circle.

After waiting for less than thirty seconds, the sound of cockcrow seemed to be heard from a very far away place.

At this time, Fan Zeyun began to move forward with his eyes closed.

"Follow me, you must not go out of the range illuminated by the lantern."

Wen Yan heard the rooster crow, and at that moment, he felt that the never-setting sun in his mind seemed to have been summoned, and as if he had suddenly been blessed.

At that moment, the brilliance of the sun bloomed.

In his eyes, the dim and gloomy Underworld Avenue seemed to have suddenly been turned up in brightness, and the whole world became a little brighter in his eyes.

Three cock crows, the brightness was raised to the limit.

The prompt also appears at this time.

"Fixed the following effects of the ability Fierce Sun.

Blessing, enlightenment, never setting, no sun walking, violent sun.

Get a temporary enhancement that lasts 15 minutes. "

Wen Yan saw the wilderness on both sides of the road, and beyond the wilderness, further away, was a twisted, broken and unreal world.

Not far from the Underworld Avenue, I saw a huge skeleton whose length was unclear.

He saw temporary intersections that he would never see on a normal day.

There was a path filled with thorns, and I also saw the witch's path that I passed last time.

I also saw a place beside the Mingtu Avenue that was not a road. There were clearly visible footprints extending out from the Mingtu Avenue.

As they walked, when the rooster's crow became clearer and louder, Wen Yan saw another compacted dirt road, which seemed to be cut off only a few meters away from the Underworld Avenue. This road seemed to have been cut off specifically by someone.

The temporary intersection opened by Fan Zeyun was a path only thirty centimeters wide at most, temporarily piled with soil but not compacted. After the path extended out, it submerged into a small hole.

Fan Zeyun closed his eyes and stepped onto the path crookedly, but after taking two steps, he missed the step and fell to one side.

The moment he was about to fall, Fan Zeyun closed his eyes and shouted.

"Take Brother Dao away to Ma's Ancestral Hall."

He threw the lantern to Wen Yan with a calm expression, as if he was ready to fall into the abyss.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Wen Yan grabbed the lantern with one hand, grabbed Fan Zeyun, carried him, and strode to the entrance of the cave, letting Fan Zeyun go up first.

Coming out of the cellar, I saw Brother Dao at the entrance of the cellar, leaning his head to look down.

"Hey, you're such a coward. You're such an old man. Why don't you know what's going on? You almost won't be able to come back! It's really hard to eat your rice!"

Wen Yan glanced at Brother Dao. The cement floor was almost dug out by Brother Dao's claws. There were very obvious scratches. It was obvious that Brother Dao was dying of anxiety.

Although this Taoist brother has a dirty talk, he is still very reliable in his work.

In the past, Wen Yan's Lie Yang gave blessings to others, but this was the first time Wen Yan saw someone, or something, that could directly bless his Lie Yang.

With three rooster crows, the rising sun in his heart was about to turn into a scorching sun.

Several special effects of Lieyang have been enhanced, and the field of vision in the underworld has become larger, which should be regarded as an additional effect.

Calculated according to the progress, the progress has been increased by at least 10%.

The visual range may be a little further than what Tong Si can see. At least before, I have never heard Tong Si say that he can see that far away.

After Fan Zeyun came out, he returned to normal. He glanced at Wen Yan, his eyes were a little complicated, and he said the key points directly without being too polite.

"That place should be the Ma family's ancestral hall. I saw the soul-crushing lantern hanging on the main beam of the main hall, and saw the tablets there, all with the surname Ma.

You can still see mountains in the distance outside, but there is almost no green on the mountains. This season should be in the north.

Judging from the color of the land, it shouldn't be a place on the Loess Plateau.

As for more, I can't be sure.

But I saw a few names there that I still remember. "

Fan Zeyun immediately said the name he had just written down first, and forgot it after a while.

Wen Yan wrote down this information and fed it directly to the black box. The phone jammed for a moment, and the black box gave the answer directly.

Ma's Ancestral Hall, and several other names, are indeed no different from the answer to the black box.

The location is in the Northeast.

There are also photos and related articles.

The article was published by a local self-media account and introduced the local surnames, including photos of the Ma Clan Ancestral Hall.

Wen Yan asked Fan Zeyun to take a look at the photo.

"That's it! It's unmistakable. The soul-suppressing lantern was hung on the main beam. No one of them dared to move it. No matter what happened, it was broad daylight. They would never dare to move it. If they did it rashly, Ah Piao was suppressed. It will definitely come back to bite them.”

"Okay, thank you very much."

"I also want to thank you for waiting for me."

Fan Zeyun glanced at Brother Dao, picked him up and walked into the house.

"Hey, hey, you coward, what are you doing? Put me down!"

Fan Zeyun refused to listen and carried Brother Dao into the house.

"Brother Dao, listen to me."

"What are you talking about? What do you want to do?"

"Brother Dao, you should know what my biggest regret is in my life."

"What are you going to do!" Brother Dao had a bad premonition. He had it before. He had noticed that Fan Zeyun couldn't sit still since he sensed the lantern that day.

"You go with Wen Yan. This young man is very nice. I've seen that he won't look down on monsters. He has already promised me.

I have to finish what I didn't finish back then, otherwise, I won't be able to close my eyes when I die.

After all these years, I still remember the look in the eyes of the kid who wanted to learn how to make lanterns from me when he was about to die.

Brother Dao, I'm only worried about you now, don't die in front of me. "

Fan Zeyun's eyes were bloodshot, he had never been so serious.

Brother Dao also fell silent. Slowly, Brother Dao's head, which had been held high, drooped, and his cockscomb seemed to be unstretched.

"Brother Dao, there are several people in our village who want to stew you! I'm old and I don't have a few more days to live. I don't want to be unable to straighten my back after death."

"Okay, okay, it's really hard to eat your rice..." Brother Dao mumbled feebly, having no energy to refute.

Fan Zeyun breathed a sigh of relief and quickly packed his things.

He opened the wooden box, dug out an old notebook at the bottom, took it with him, and then took out another package and walked out the door.

He handed the package to Wen Yan.

"This is my experience. It's all in there. There are also some tools in there. I'm afraid I won't be able to use them in the future, so I gave them to you.

In addition, this package belongs to Brother Dao, so you should take it with you. "

"it is good."

Wen Yan took the package and knew what Fan Zeyun was going to do.

He took out his cell phone and called a car.

"Let's go together."

"Don't come with me." Fan Zeyun shook his head.

"I'm here today. No matter what I think, whether I'm with you or not, this matter will have something to do with me."

Wen Yan called a car and went all the way to the county town and to the Lieyang Department of Guanzhong County.

As soon as he entered, someone greeted Wen Yan, and Wen Yan also waved to him familiarly. He had been to Guanzhong County many times and had met many people. He was not familiar with them, but after all, he could recognize them when he met them. .

Entering the office hall, Fan Zeyun looked at the busy people around him and suddenly shouted.

"I want to surrender!"

After he finished shouting, he continued to mind his own business.

“I was the one responsible for what happened to the ghost market in Luocheng back then.

I also did the revenge of the evil ghost in Jixiang Village. "

Wen Yan was carrying a bag. Brother Dao in the bag looked through the gap at Fan Zeyun who was shouting. He closed his eyes and no longer wanted to stop him.

This is the first time it has seen Fan Zeyun speak so loudly, without the gloominess of the past, nor the loneliness and self-deprecation he felt when he drank those two glasses of wine at night.

It could feel that at this moment, Fan Zeyun breathed out the breath that had been held in his chest for decades before he died.

One breath of life is what Fan Zeyun said many times.

Only today did he truly understand that it is not how he feels comfortable that makes him feel smooth.

Brother Dao closed his eyes and lay weakly in the bag, resigned to his fate. All he could do was not to cause trouble or worry.

Several people immediately came up in the hall, ready to ask about the situation.

But there was an older field officer whose expression changed slightly, and he immediately grabbed the young man, and he took the initiative to walk up.

Not many people may know about the night market, but people who have worked long hours in the Lieyang Department of Guanzhong County all know about the subsequent case.

The person who was killed was a murderer. He killed someone and buried him in his own yard. Who would have thought that decades later, times have changed. The person who was killed would be buried in the yard after death, and would be stepped on by his enemies every day. It would be strange if this resentment can be dissipated.

After finally breaking out, he tore the murderer's soul into pieces and swallowed it.

I really want to eat his flesh and drink his blood.

But the frantic Ah Piao later refused to surrender and was killed on the spot by the combatants who arrived later.

Later, after the truth was found out, there was a commotion for a long time, and there are still rumors there that the murderer suffered retribution.

Seeing that Fan Zeyun wanted to continue talking, someone immediately took him away.

Wen Yan stood not far away, watching this scene.

People from the Lieyang tribe in Guanzhong County also came to ask Wen Yan, because Wen Yan came with Fan Zeyun just now.

"Did you catch this?"

"I didn't catch him."

In less than two minutes, Wen Yan's phone rang. Wen Yan saw that it was the minister of Guanzhong County.

"Hey, I'm an ancestor, what are you doing here?"

"Well, you misunderstood. This really has nothing to do with me. I had something to do and wanted to talk to some skilled craftsmen.

I didn't arrest him, and I don't know the details of the case he mentioned.

But, someone wants to surrender. As an external expert from the Lieyang Department, am I trying to persuade them not to come? "

"..."

The minister of Guanzhong County clutched his chest and almost lost his breath.

How should he answer this?
He is the head of the department, so he certainly can't say no.

how? You, a minister, actually advised a criminal suspect that it would be best if he could get away with it?
How dare he say that!
He had heard that there was something particularly annoying about Wen Yan.

This guy loves to record when he's on the phone!
Cai Heizi's ghostly ring tone in Nanwu County had already become popular outside Nanwu County.

Later, Cai Heizi died, and the heat was over. After all, everyone must respect those who sacrificed their lives for the public.

The minister of Guanzhong County rubbed his head. He also began to miss Cai Heizi...
