Day and night tour

Chapter 172 The Brain of the Blood Well

After seeing Zhou Xuan's dominoes, Zhang Yifeng dared not to be stubborn anymore. It didn't matter where the person was, so there was no need to bring him back to the City God's Hall.

He clasped his fists towards Zhou Xuan and said, "Since the young master is cooperating, we will ask Mr. Li to come over."

He took two incense sticks from his waist with his right hand, and made a seal with his left hand. Using his perception and skills, he carved a word "Shu" and a word "Jia" on the incense sticks respectively.

"Shu" represents Li Chengfeng. In the Bone Elders Association, Li Chengfeng is affectionately called Teacher Li or Professor Li by his students.

But in the City God Hall, Li Chengfeng is called "Master Shu".

"甲" represents the City God "Zhijiaxiang" Lu Yusheng. In the City God's external affairs, except for the three heads, Hall Master, Qingfeng and Beiwang, the highest-ranking one is Zhijiaxiang Lu Yusheng.

The City God was not satisfied with Zhou Xuan's work tonight, so he naturally asked Lu Yusheng to come and supervise.

Zhang Yifeng held the two incense sticks with the words carved on them to his lips and blew on them twice.

call,
call,
Blown by the wind, the two incense sticks burned at the same time.

at the same time,

Lu Yusheng, who was drinking with a singer in the Metropolitan Ballroom, suddenly frowned.

He saw a stick of incense standing one foot in front of him.

Lu Yusheng pushed the singer away, reached out and grasped the incense stick. The incense turned into a perception, which broke into messages in his heart.

"How could the young man who absorbed the Buddha's energy from Qiye Temple be able to invite Master Shu?"

Lu Yusheng stood up from the sofa, smoothed the wrinkles on his gown, and, ignoring the singer's charming attempts to stop him, walked out of the Metropolitan.

……

Huifeng Medical College, second underground floor, Weird Biology Research Institute,

The research institute covers a large area, with large bottles and jars everywhere. The air is filled with a strong smell of formalin, and there are many strange creatures.

A baby with a dog's head.
A young man with eight arms.

Two bodies are connected together. The front body has a mouth but no "tool", while the back body has no mouth but has a "tool" that is comparable to a flashlight.
Two bodies, one is responsible for eating, the other is responsible for continuing the family line.

These strange creatures are mostly specimens. They once hid underground or in some dark places and caused a bloody storm in Mingjiang Prefecture.

now,

Li Chengfeng and his student Wang Yiwen are currently conducting research on "human stomach".

"Human belly" was the name given by Zhou Xuan. Now, according to the characteristic of "human belly" that makes people hungry, Li Chengfeng directly gave it a code name - "hunger".

The institute's research on strange creatures begins with extracting the creatures' memories.

The extraction method is both simple and complex… The scheme is simple, but the “instrument” is complex.

Two transparent glass tanks, filled with cerebrospinal fluid - a colorless, transparent liquid taken from the human ventricles.

This liquid usually has a stimulating effect on strange creatures, amplifying their mood swings.

Stimulation is not the main purpose. The real role of cerebrospinal fluid is to provide a soothing environment so that the "blood well brain" can effectively exert its powerful perception and search every inch of thinking flesh tissue of the strange creatures.

However, the Blood Well Brain is a very high-end instrument. There are no more than five in the Well Country, and only one in Mingjiang Prefecture. A report must be submitted before use, and only after the resolution of the top leaders is passed can the instrument be successfully unblocked.

Even though Li Chengfeng is already a senior member of the Bone Elders Association, he still has to submit the report.

However, he agreed with this rule deep down in his heart. Any instrument has its lifespan, and the Blood Well Brain is no exception. Only by utilizing strict rules, using it on the blade, and reducing the number of times it is used can its lifespan be effectively extended.

If the rules were not strict, the Institute of Weird Creatures would use it, the Institute of Ancient Talismans would use it, and even the Institute of Abnormal Diseases would use it. If every department used it, it wouldn't be long before the Blood Well Brain would be scrapped ahead of time.

Waste is shameful, Li Chengfeng deeply agrees with this.

Li Chengfeng had just seen "Hunger" in Zhou Xuan's store in the morning, and he submitted a report at noon. It was not until late at night that he got the ban lifted. He then asked his students to carefully move the "Brain of the Blood Well" from the formalin solution in the "Instrument Secret Room" to the water tank in the Institute of Paleontology.

There are two water tanks filled with cerebrospinal fluid, and one is filled with "hunger". Hunger floats up and down in the water tank, and every pore is opening and absorbing cerebrospinal fluid.

Another water tank contains the "Brain of the Blood Well".

The Blood Well Brain is the brain of the Blood Well psychic, but it is not one brain, but four.

The four brains are connected by many thick blood vessels and form a "brain".

In addition to the blood vessels connecting the four ventricles, there are four seemingly redundant blood vessels on the blood well brain.

At the ends of two of the blood vessels, there are canine-like devices that are used to pierce the body of the strange creature and connect the creature to the Blood Well Brain.

The ends of the other two blood vessels grew dense barbs. The observers inserted the barbs into their fingers and wrists to receive the image signals collected by the Blood Well Brain.
There were once madmen who directly stabbed the barbs into the back of their heads in an attempt to get a stronger and clearer signal, but without exception, they all went crazy.

Therefore, twenty years ago, all major academic societies issued the rules for the use of the Blood Well Brain, which stipulates that blood vessel barbs can only be inserted into the fingers or forearms and are absolutely not allowed to be inserted above the elbows.

The closer the barb is to the observer's brain, the higher the chance of madness.

At this time, Wang Yiwen had already stabbed the barb into his palm.

Li Chengfeng stood in front of the water tank, observing the movements of "Hunger", but there seemed to be no movement.

"Yiwen, have you received the signal from the Blood Well Brain?"

“It’s still being collected.”

Wang Yiwen said,
"Ah."

Li Chengfeng bent over and continued to observe. According to common sense, once the Blood Well Brain was connected with the strange creature, the creature would make a lot of noise.

The four Blood Well psychics' brains generated extremely terrifying perceptions. When their perceptions came together, they could even distort the reality around them.
Once such a strong perception penetrates into the body of a living being, it will be like a strong and powerful electric current, causing the body of the living being to spasm and the muscles to twitch involuntarily.
But "Hunger" seems a little too calm.

"what happened……"

Li Chengfeng hadn't finished sighing when he suddenly saw a incense stick standing in front of him.

There is a word "book" written on the incense stick.

"The City God's people are looking for me? Don't they know I'm busy?"

Li Chengfeng intended to ignore the incense, but because the incense blocked his vision of "hunger", he had to reach out and hold the incense.

"Whatever you want me to do, I won't go."

The incense disappeared, and a message condensed in Li Chengfeng's heart.

"The Qiye Temple's Buddhist energy has been completely absorbed. Are those rough guys from the City God suspecting you, Mr. Xiao?"

Li Chengfeng became enthusiastic when it came to Zhou Xuan. He put on his suit jacket and told Wang Yiwen, "Yiwen, I have something to do. I have to go out for a while. If you receive any information from the Blood Well Brain later, be sure to record it."

"I understand, teacher." Wang Yiwen responded.

Ten minutes after Li Chengfeng left, "Hunger" suddenly jumped around in the water tank as if it had suffered a severe blow, and the Blood Well's brain was flashing with blood.
One image after another was transmitted to Wang Yiwen's mind through his blood vessels.

"Qiye Temple? Why is there a picture of Qiye Temple in the memory of hunger?"

Wang Yiwen began to think along the lines of the memory of “hunger”, but he suddenly felt something in his body – he was hungry!
……

In front of Qiye Temple, everyone was waiting.

Si Ming and Si Yuer were waiting for Li Chengfeng to come. Only the top leaders of Gu Lao could settle the affairs of Qiye Temple and deal with that group of ferocious city gods.

Zhang Yifeng was also waiting, waiting for Li Chengfeng and Zhijiaxiang to come together. He was a person who didn't want to get involved in trouble, but the affairs of Qiye Temple were very troublesome.

However, when the two superiors came, it became a matter between them, and he was just an order-giver, with limited arms and legs, so he couldn't do anything about it.

"I've solved the problem, so I'll have some morning wine, a bowl of pork belly soup, and a couple of drinks."

Only Zhou Xuan was not just waiting.
He observed his own divine secret realm with great interest.

After the two secret realms divided up the burning remains of the Wine-Cooking Monk, the Shenqi Secret Realm actually changed.

The black water, which represented divine revelation, floated a skeletal human head in the waves. As time passed, the head continued to float up, revealing a neck.
"Not just a head, maybe a whole person will float up?"

Zhou Xuan guessed.

The "Crimson Moon" representing the Blood Well has undergone even more miraculous changes. The edges of the round Crimson Moon have all turned golden, as if a golden border had been added to the Crimson Moon.

Zhou Xuan had not realized the magical effect of the Shenqi White Bones, but he had already realized the effect of the Feiyue Gold Edge.

The Crimson Moon is closely related to perception, so after the Crimson Moon showed changes, Zhou Xuan immediately tested his own perception.

He released some of his perception and immediately realized something was wrong. His perception was not dispersed.

His aura locked onto a certain object, and as much perception as he released penetrated that object, without any loss in the process.

Perception needs to be controlled by consciousness. There is a very important reason why the perception of the Blood Well Psychic is so terrifying - dual consciousness. The control of dual consciousness over perception far exceeds that of single consciousness.

If you have strong control over your perception, you can minimize the dispersion of your perception when releasing it.

And now,
Zhou Xuan's perception was not scattered at all.

"I feel like the outer layer of my perception is like adding a coat!"

It is because of this coat that our perception will not be dispersed.

Zhou Xuan was slightly excited. This coat helped to keep his senses focused, which would naturally help him to improve his senses.

But this is not the reason for Zhou Xuan to be excited.

His perception has been certified by many experts and is strong...extremely strong.

But from being top-notch to being even stronger, it is like improving from 98 points to 99 points. There is progress, but there is no essential improvement.

What really excited Zhou Xuan was

Instead, it is the "coat" itself.
Because of his extremely strong perception, Zhou Xuan's understanding of perception exceeds that of many Yin people and gods at a higher level.

In his understanding, when perception is released and the opponent is detected, one will also expose oneself.

The essence of this exposure is that the other party also has perception, and his perception collides with Zhou Xuan's perception, causing fluctuations.

The fluctuation will be detected, which will lead to Zhou Xuan being exposed.

If you use perception to investigate ordinary people, their perception is extremely weak and almost negligible, so naturally no fluctuations will occur.

Therefore, there is no risk of exposure when using perception to investigate ordinary people.

And now, Zhou Xuan's perception was wrapped up, which meant that even if the opponent's perception was very strong, because his perception had a layer of insulating coat, no collision could form, and naturally there would be no fluctuations.

"Even if I use my perception to its fullest, no one can detect that it was me who released it?"

After Zhou Xuan had this guess, he became more interested and decided to do an experiment.

The experimental subject was Siming.

Zhou Xuan released a little bit of his perception onto Siming.

The perception climbed up Siming's body, making Siming feel an inexplicable itchy feeling.

Siming felt that someone was using his perception to "scan" him. He had been squinting his eyes while smoking, but his eyes suddenly widened and he released his perception to find out who was scanning him.

But after searching for a long time, I couldn't find the source of this perception.

"Hey! Is my feeling wrong?"

Siming closed his eyes and felt it carefully for a while - "That's right, someone is using perception to scan me."

He was unwilling to give up, so he released his perception again, but still couldn't find the source.

He simply stood up and looked around, but Zhou Xuan was "resting with his eyes closed", his daughter was in a daze, and the four city gods were standing there, looking down the mountain and chatting.
"This still feels wrong. There's trouble every day, which makes me nervous." Siming sat on the steps of the temple and smoked again.

"Ah, it worked... Jingzi, you finally did something good!"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said,
Since perception has the effect of preventing tracking, we have to get rid of that rotten bird in the sky.

The one flying in the sky is the City God's kite.

The kite came in search of the Buddha's energy and locked onto Zhou Xuan with a fierce look. At the same time, a strong sense of perception swept over Zhou Xuan's body, which had already annoyed him.

Magical weapons, especially those that can lock auras, rely on perception.

Zhou Xuan really wanted to use his own "perception" to teach the kite how to make a bird, but not long ago, as long as he released his perception, it was basically equivalent to revealing his cards in front of everyone - I am a psychic from the Blood Well.

Si Ming and Si Yuer are fine, but if they reveal their cards in front of the City God, they will be in big trouble.

But now, Zhou Xuan is no longer afraid.

When they were in the old painting studio, Yun Ziliang guided Zhou Xuan to use his perception to break the ghost-suppressing talisman!
From then on he knew that his super strong perception could restrain many magical weapons, and naturally could also restrain this kite.

Zhou Xuan released his perception towards the kite.

Zhou Xuan's perception, like a huge wave, surged into the kite, and he immediately found out the secret of the kite.

Inside the kite's body, there is an eye - a bleeding eye, the work of a tattoo.

The tattoos were regarded as magical or forbidden weapons by some gangs and even the God-Praying Department.

For example, Zhou Lingyi’s human leather box.

The ancient tattoo tribe is too mysterious.
There are not many works handed down to the secular world.

The tattoo on the kite's body indicates that this magical weapon is in the City God's Hall and is of a very high level.

"So it's a tattoo? Today I'll let you worship your ancestors!"

Zhou Xuan was meditating on the blood tree in his mind, the ancestral tree that the tattooed ancestors had once worshipped!
When Zhou Xuan finished meditating on the blood tree in his mind, he used his perception to transfer the blood tree to the tattoo of "bleeding eyes".

The tattoo patterns are living creatures, similar to evil spirits and ghosts. Seeing the blood tree is like seeing one's ancestor.

His eyes trembled as he closed them, and then opened again. The eerie feeling was gone, but was replaced by fanatical worship and the instinct of sacrifice.

boom,
The tattooed eye actually burned on the spot.

There was smoke coming out of the kite, and then there were little sparks of fire...

……

Zhang Yifeng turned his back to Zhou Xuan and chatted with three colleagues, which represented his trust in Zhou Xuan.

"Go ahead, Master Shu and Master Zhijia haven't arrived yet?"

"Wait a little longer, why are you in such a hurry? I can't rush them." Zhang Yifeng said unhappily, "Besides, since that young gentleman was able to take out the dominoes, it means that his identity is very special. We have to be patient."

"Oh, how can we compare this guy to others? We are so much older than him, and we are still working the night shift, while he has already got the bone cards."

A colleague sighed.

Zhang Yifeng also sighed,

He recalled how proud he was when he took on the role of City God five years ago.
At that time, he was at the Ming Jiang Hotel, hosting a banquet with twenty tables. When the banquet started, he toasted with the guests and immediately felt that he had a bright future.

But now I know that at his age, he already has a very deep friendship with the top leaders of Gu Lao.

“What a wonderful life!”

Zhang Yifeng looked at Zhou Xuan, his eyes full of envy.

"Let's see if there's a chance to develop a relationship with this young gentleman in the future."

Zhang Yifeng thought about it and decided to treat Siming to a few good drinks first, and then slowly build up a relationship with the young master through Siming.

Five years ago he was just making orders, and five years later he was still making orders. Five years of standing still taught Zhang Yifeng a truth - if you have a strong person, you should hug him, it is not shameful, but if you don't hug him even if you have a strong person, you are a fool.

During these five years, Zhang Yifeng was such a fool.

"Hello, hello! The kite is burned."

Colleagues saw the kite emitting flames and called out to Zhang Yifeng.

Zhang Yifeng quickly came to his senses and looked up to the sky. He saw that the kite was already mostly burnt and was smoking.

"Oh my! If I lose this magic weapon, I will be in big trouble."

Zhang Yifeng quickly waved to the kite.

The kite did not obey him, and after being burned to a crisp, it spun and fell beside Zhou Xuan.

A soul walked out of the kite, knelt on both knees towards Zhou Xuan, raised one hand forward and pointed the other at the ground.

Except for kneeling, the rest of the actions were exactly the same as the "ritual posture" that Xue Jing taught Zhou Xuan on how to use the Nether Stone.

"unlucky!"

Zhou Xuan waved his hand in disdain, and Hun seemed to mutter something before it gradually dissipated.

Everyone was stunned.

Especially the four city gods, they all knew that there was a tattoo on the kite, which was left by the tattoo evil ghost.

Now, the tattooed soul actually walked out of the kite and knelt down to Zhou Xuan with strange movements.

"Who on earth is this young man?" The City God's colleagues looked confused.

Siming asked Zhou Xuan: "Young Master, why did this soul kneel down to you?"

"It's normal for a soul that walked out of a tattoo to worship me."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said to Si Ming: "Old Si, have you forgotten that I am a tattoo artist?"

"Oh, the one controlling the kite is a tattoo!" Siming finally realized what was happening and said, "That's right, Zhang Yifeng, don't blame me for not reminding you, the young master has a tattoo that even Teacher Li came to visit."

Zhang Yifeng was suddenly enlightened. No wonder he won the favor of Master Gu at such a young age. He turned out to be a tattoo artist who had not appeared in a hundred years.

"Moreover, this kite was flying in the sky. It didn't burn at first, but it is burning now. It must be that the guardian used his perception to take action..."

Zhang Yifeng knew very well that many young men from big gangs with prominent backgrounds had protectors around them when they traveled around the world, and those protectors were of extremely high levels of religious patronage.

"The kite was burned for no reason, and then the young master's soul knelt down. It should be the protector's action and guidance. During this period, I didn't feel any fluctuations in perception. How high must the level of this protector's incense be to have such a control over his perception?"

Zhang Yifeng was at the level of sitting fifth and looking forward to sixth. His perception was already very sensitive. When the other party attacked with his perception, he did not notice anything. In his cognition, there was only one possibility:
The other party's incense level was much higher than his, already seven or eight incense sticks... Zhang Yifeng didn't dare to think about going any higher.

"Lucky, so lucky."

Zhang Yifeng is now very glad that he was not so impulsive when he arrested Zhou Xuan just now.

"Young sir, let me introduce myself again. My name is Zhang Yifeng, you can just call me Xiao Zhang."

Zhou Xuan: “…”

……

In Zhang Yifeng's eyes, Zhou Xuan was already extraordinary just because of his identity as a tattoo artist.

The tattoo community has a very bad reputation, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is "notorious", but as long as tattoo artists walk in the secular world, there are some communities that will treat them as guests of honor.

But Zhou Xuan is not just a simple tattoo artist.

"A tattoo artist who has a protector must be very talented and have a great background."

If there is a young man in the hall who has no talent and no background, who would protect him?
With Zhang Yifeng taking the lead in showing goodwill to Zhou Xuan, the other three colleagues were not idle either. They handed cigarettes to Zhou Xuan and lit them for him.

"Are you Chenghuang's people so good at handling things?"

"We were chosen to be night watchmen because we don't know how to deal with things." Zhang Yifeng said with a wry smile.

"He's a man who knows how to deal with things. He's still flirting with singers at the Metropolitan and Paramount at this hour."

Colleagues complained.

"Your city god has someone on duty at night. Isn't that the same as the patrolling gods in the Heping Water Palace's parade gods?"

"Mingjiang Prefecture also has night patrol gods. They take care of big things, but we take care of small things... We can't say that we take care of things that are neither big nor small!"

“That’s pretty hard.”

When the gap between everyone and Zhou Xuan was completely eliminated and they were chatting happily, a pipe was extended to Zhang Yifeng.
"Light a fire."

"Can't you order it yourself? Didn't you see I gave it to the little gentleman... Hey, Mr. Book."

When Zhang Yifeng saw that it was Li Chengfeng who came, he hurriedly and respectfully helped him light his pipe, then stepped aside.

Li Chengfeng smoked his pipe and said to Zhou Xuan affectionately, "Young Master, I heard that you absorbed the Buddha's energy from the Qiye Temple?"

"How can I suck that? There is a reason. I want to tell Teacher Li about it. Come on, Tari, tell me."

Zhou Xuan took Li Chengfeng to enter the tower.

Zhang Yifeng spoke out instinctively, "Master Shu, we have to wait for Zhijiaxiang to come before we can investigate..."

According to the rules of the City God Hall, when investigating a major case, one must wait for the "Zhijiaxiang" to arrive.

"It's that little Lu. He doesn't get along with me very well. I think he's very annoying. Why are you waiting for him?"

Li Chengfeng was disgusted by the name "Zhijiaxiang". He ignored what Zhang Yifeng said and said, "If Xiao Lu has any complaints, let him come to me", and then he and Zhou Xuan entered the tower.

"Boss, isn't this against the rules?!"

Colleagues reminded Zhang Yifeng.

"What rules? Power is the rule! Otherwise, why don't you stop Mr. Book and Mr. Little?"

My colleague shut up obediently.

……

Zhou Xuan and Li Chengfeng entered the tower and walked to the place where the monk Zhujiu passed away. Zhou Xuan said, "Teacher Li, I have to tell you something. The matter of Qiye Temple is very big."

"How big can it be? Can it be as big as the sky?"

“It’s really something out of heaven!”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "The person who absorbed the Buddha's energy from the Qiye Temple came from heaven... I don't know his last name or his name, I only know that he is called the Taoist!"

"Taoist?"

When Li Chengfeng heard this name, he was shocked and asked, "Are you serious?"

"Look at the broken threads on the ground."

Zhou Xuan pointed at the broken silk thread lying on the floor and said.

Li Chengfeng lowered his head quickly, and after seeing the broken silk, he bent down, picked up a strand, looked at it carefully, and smelled it, and said, "There are specimens of divine silk in the Gu Lao Society. Judging from the aura and texture, it is indeed a real broken divine silk."

"I saw that Taoist descending from the sky thousands of miles high, sucking away all the Buddhist energy from the Qiye Temple..."
