There's something wrong with this version of the technique!

Chapter 177: With righteousness in your heart, ghosts and gods dare not invade
"Pay attention to discipline and call Consultant Lu!" Examiner Zhong immediately corrected the team members' immature behavior in a stern voice.

"Hello, Consultant Lu." The young male college student bowed respectfully.

"Brother Lu Yue, good morning." The young female college student bowed politely, but secretly took out her mobile phone, put it at a "death angle", and tapped the screen with her fingers like a storm.

Click click click...

A series of shutter sounds rang out, and ten consecutive shots were taken.

Lu Yue looked very distressed.

It's broad daylight and you don't even turn off the flash!

Ignoring the actions of the two men, Lu Yue turned to Examiner Zhong and curiously asked why the three of them appeared here. After all, this was not the territory of Taicheng.

"I was on patrol in a nearby city during this period, and suddenly received a report..."

A few minutes later, Lu Yue suddenly realized.

The revival of spiritual energy will not stop abruptly due to the disappearance of the ruins. On the contrary, for a long time, the spiritual energy brought by the ruins will be like dandelion seeds, floating around the city, constantly catalyzing and causing the concentration of spiritual energy in the real world to slowly rise.

Until it reaches a certain critical point, the spiritual energy will gradually dry up.

At this time, we need to wait for the next relic to arrive.

But if the relics never invade the real world, the real world will continue to wither and enter the so-called Dharma Ending Age. This is why there have been many spiritual revivals and spiritual end times in history.

Of course, the Dharma Ending Age does not mean that spiritual energy will completely disappear.

It’s just that this era is not suitable for the birth of extraordinary people.

In the Dharma-Ending Age, ordinary transcendents without any foundation will often face a generational extinction, while some transcendent families with a foundation will begin to look for places with relatively rich spiritual energy in the real world, occupy these resources, lurk, and wait for the next spiritual energy revival to come.

There is only one branch of the Demon Suppression Bureau in Taicheng and its surrounding cities, but with the revival of spiritual energy brought about by the last invasion of the ruins, supernatural events in the surrounding cities are also showing signs of revival.

Therefore, the Demon Suppression Bureau introduced a series of regulations, including that captain-level extraordinary people must regularly lead team members to travel and patrol around Taicheng, and solve any problems they find in a timely manner.

Examiner Zhong, also known as Captain Zhong, came to the city near Taicheng for inspection for this reason. After hearing that a grassroots worker had died here, he led his teammates to check it out.

"Advisor Lu, what about you?" asked Examiner Zhong.

After a moment's silence, Lu Yue told the truth about his visit to the village.

"Ghost Painter, I thought this type of extraordinary person had become extinct, but I didn't expect them to appear again." Examiner Zhong frowned, and it was obvious that she didn't have a good attitude towards this type of extraordinary person.

"..."

"Sister Zhong, there seems to be a living person in that grave!" Just as Lu Yue was talking to Captain Zhong, a male college student nearby suddenly discovered the old man in the round grave.

The enthusiastic male college student, like Lu Yue, quickly prepared to rescue people.

However, the old man in the grave begged and stopped him.

"I didn't expect that there are still people burying living people." Examiner Zhong's eyes were solemn.

Seeing the male college student's puzzled look, examiner Zhong went on to explain: "In the past, due to natural disasters and man-made calamities, some remote areas were poor and lacked resources. Young people could not get enough food. When the elderly reached a certain age, they would be sent to a hole or a tomb, leaving only a hole for delivering food. Every time a meal was delivered, a brick was added. When the brick completely sealed the hole, no more food was delivered, and the elderly were left to fend for themselves."

This scene made the two team members shudder.

They never imagined that such bad habits existed in ancient times.

But now is a modern society, even if we are not rich, at least we have enough food, how can we still keep this bad habit!!!

"There is a reason for the formation of any bad habit. It may be a natural disaster, or someone has something to hide and uses bad habits to cover up the secret." Examiner Zhong added.

Lu Yue's eyes flickered as he pondered the meaning of this sentence.

"Sister Zhong, this old man refuses to come out, saying that if he comes out, his whole family will suffer retribution. What should we do?" The male college student was at a loss.

"The bad habits left over from the old times have killed countless people."

Examiner Zhong's eyes swept across the long-sealed graves around him, his gaze gradually became sharper, and he said in an unquestionable tone: "Now is a new era, some bad habits should have been broken long ago."

"dismantle!"

Examiner Zhong exudes a heroic spirit that breaks the old rules.

The male and female college students joined forces and began to demolish the grave diligently.

The old man was quickly rescued.

Since he had seen this, he could not ignore it. No matter what the reason was, Examiner Zhong decided to take the team to Wang Laosan's house to find out what happened.

Lu Yue was also very curious about the reason, so he followed.
As for carrying the old man home, that naturally fell on the two team members.

The male and female college students looked at each other without much verbal communication. The male college student stood up consciously and carried the old man on his back.

The female college student clung to Lu Yue like a little tail, her eyes full of admiration for her idol.

"Brother Minion... Oops, no, it's Brother Lu Yue, can I ask you a few questions? I saw in the video that your whole body turned yellow, like jade, is this true?"

"Just call me Lu Yue." Facing this fanatical fan, Lu Yue always felt that the title "brother" was a bit awkward, and it was more comfortable to call him by his name.

When the female college student heard this, she was even more delighted, as if the relationship between the two of them had instantly become much closer, so she asked a series of questions like a machine gun.

"Okay, Brother Lu Yue, when you transform into a Minion, do you need to shout some slogans, such as 'Balala the Fairies', 'Armor Fusion', 'Gaia', etc.?"

"After the transformation, if you pull out a hair, will it become jade hair?"

"Could the nails that were cut be jade nails?"

"I heard that jade is very hard. How hard is it?"

"Also, the internet says that hair won't burn if it's burned through real jade. Does that mean that if you rush into a fire scene holding a firefighter and then come out, the firefighter's hair won't get singed?"

Lu Yue's eyelids twitched.

What the hell are these problems?

Are the brain circuits of contemporary female college students so horrible?
It's really like hanging a hot water bottle on your butt, and you have a very low level.

"Before answering your questions, let me tell you a story. In a remote village, a rooster suddenly had an extra egg in its nest. All the hens refused to admit that it was their egg. The egg was so anxious that it turned around and around, looking for its mother. It met a duck, a dog, and a goose, but none of them was the egg's mother. Finally, the egg was too tired to move and sat on the ground, heartbroken. At this time, a crayfish ran over and was very moved after hearing about the egg's experience of looking for its mother. It decided to help, so it found a rope, tied the egg to its tail, and took the egg everywhere to look for the mother hen."

After telling this story, Lu Yue quickened his pace, walked to the front to lead the way, leaving the female college student behind with a confused look on her face, not understanding what this meant.

At this moment, the male college student who had been silent all this time spoke up: "Bullshit."

The female college student still looked confused.

"Consultant Lu meant that tying eggs to shrimp tails is 'nonsense'. The question you asked is ridiculous, so Consultant Lu told you a ridiculous story."

Young female college student: “…”

Not long after, under the leadership of Lu Yue, Officer Zhong and his team successfully arrived at Wang Laosan's home. When Wang Laosan saw his father being carried back by a stranger, he was stunned.

"Dad..." Wang Laosan fell to his knees with a thud and called out tremblingly.

"You still have the nerve to call me dad! What kind of son would bury his father in the grave early? Do you have any conscience?" The female college student with a very positive outlook immediately began to educate the other party.

Wang Laosan did not refute, and his sister beside him also hugged her father.

The family of three cried like tearful people.

"Third brother, take good care of your sister and carry dad back quickly. If we are found by others, it will be too late." The old man wiped his tears and spoke with his body trembling. Although his eyes were full of fear of death, he still gritted his teeth and asked his son to send him back.

Wang Laosan knelt on the ground, slapped himself madly, and firmly disagreed.

"Dad, if we have to die, let's die together! I am an unfilial son, doing such a thing."

"Third brother, Dad is old and won't live long. Don't do anything stupid. Listen to Dad and take good care of your sister."

Looking at this scene, the female college student was a little confused.

She felt that there seemed to be some unknown secrets hidden in it.

Examiner Zhong and several others revealed their identities and took out their credentials, but they were uneducated and could not understand them at all. Moreover, the fear deep in the hearts of these villagers could not be eliminated by official identities.

Fortunately, the male college student stepped forward at this time and used some unknown means to calm the few people down. Through patient questioning, Lu Yue and the other three still obtained some clues.

In this bitter village, the bad custom of burying people alive is not a tradition passed down from ancient times, but a rule that cannot be trampled upon has existed since about fifty years ago.

The village’s population has remained at 177 people all year round, with only fewer people and no more.

Once the population exceeds 177, people will die.

Now, a villager in Kuhai Village is about to give birth, and the birth of this new villager exceeds 177 people, which means that one person must die, and the river god gives the age of the person who is about to die.

This is why Wang Laosan practices living burial.

Even if Wang Laosan is reluctant, once this matter is discovered by other villagers, they will enforce this rule.

It's not that no one in the village has ever questioned this rule. Some people have even tried to prevent the selected elderly from being buried alive on time when a newborn is born, but the result was that when the time came, everyone in that family disappeared.

It disappeared overnight and has never been seen since.

"Sister Zhong, what should we do now?" asked the male college student.

"If you have righteousness in your heart, ghosts and gods will not dare to invade. I'll be on guard tonight and see what's causing the trouble!" Examiner Zhong said righteously.
