Chapter 207
Chapter 207
At ten o'clock in the evening, a black car stopped in front of Ji's house.
The lights in the house were turned off, and a boy in black walked out of the yard, holding a black cat in his arms, followed by two ghosts exuding yin energy.
The ghost boy has long been used to Ji Siwei not sitting in a wheelchair. Every time he stands with Ji Siwei, he floats up quietly, with the soles of his feet ten centimeters from the ground. In this way, he looks a centimeter or two taller than Ji Simwei.
You Tingting was very eager to hold Ji Siwei's hand, but the puppet was staring at her so hard that she knew she couldn't beat her, so she didn't dare to do anything wrong.
The car window moved down, and Ye Xiao poked his face out, his thin lips curled up slightly: "Hey, who's the handsome guy is this?"
"Don't be poor." Ji Siwei sat in the co-pilot, the ghost boy and You Tingting sat in the back seat.
In the eyes of ordinary people, there are two people and a cat in this fully loaded car.
Ye Xiao started the car and asked, "What's your family's attitude towards your recovery?"
Ji Siwei held down the little puppet that was crawling around in the car and wreaking havoc, and replied casually: "They are very happy, the cause of the disease is strange, and they didn't investigate the reason for my recovery."
"Some things are difficult to explain, but everything has a cause and effect. When the time comes, you may know the cause." Ye Xiao changed his voice: "Then when are you going to go back to school?"
Ji Siwei said: "Wait until the copper coins are unsealed."
"Is the truth important to you?" Ye Xiao clenched the steering wheel and stared ahead: "Have you ever thought that this truth may break your stable life and make everything not return to the original track."
"I've thought about it." Ji Siwei met the little puppet's clear eyes: "In order to pursue the truth, I would rather give up everything."
"It seems that you have really made a big decision." Ye Xiao sighed subtly: "Uncle Shi often said that everyone's way is different, and you have to realize your own way. Maybe your decision is right. , no matter what, if you encounter trouble, my uncle and I will always be your backing."
Ji Siwei nodded with a smile, and asked him: "Let's not talk about me, let's talk about the task tonight, I know too little about the firm."
"Tonight's task is not difficult, but it's not easy." Ye Xiao put away his smile and became serious: "You know Baietan Island, right?"
Ji Siwei: "I know."
Baietan Island is located in the southwest of Yangcheng. It used to be the British and French Concession. There are many European-style buildings on the island. It is now a famous tourist area in Yangcheng.
When the school organizes spring and autumn outings, it is the place with the most nominations.
Counting it down, Ji Siwei had a lot of childhood memories there.
Ye Xiao said: "There is a park on the island called Shazhou Park, and that is our destination for tonight."
Ji Siwei recalled the last conversation: "I remember you said that there is only one important list in the past two days, Youhun Park. Does Youhun Park refer to Shazhou Park?"
"That's right." Ye Xiao glanced sideways at Ji Siwei, pretending to be mysterious and said, "I didn't pick up the name Youhun Park, it's what the industry calls Shazhou Park."
Ji Siwei: "Why?"
This name is indeed a bit weird. Just listening to it makes people think of a spirit body floating in midair.
Ye Xiao rubbed his nose: "Do you still remember where we met?"
Ji Siwei said, "Tianwan Plaza."
"You've been to Tianwan Plaza, so you know there's a hole in the sky. During the day, the shopping mall is deserted, and at night, it becomes a paradise for lonely souls and wild ghosts. Of course, that's all in the past. After tidying up, the spiritual objects returned to their places, and all the ghosts and ghosts were reincarnated. The uncle also changed the Feng Shui bureau for the owner of the mall, and he should be able to live in peace for a few years afterwards."
Ye Xiao seemed to be quizzing him: "Do you know the reason for the chaos in Tianwan Square?"
Ji Siwei replied: "Because it is located at the position of the dragon's tooth in the dragon's vein, and the eight coffins used to suppress the dragon's fierceness are empty."
"That's right." Ye Xiao took out a piece of paper and threw it to him: "Look, see if you can see something."
Ji Siwei unfolded it, and saw "Hand-drawn Map of Yangcheng" written in large and correct characters on the top, and the map was folded into several folds, but it didn't affect the viewing.This map should be drawn for tourists, with some famous tourist attractions highlighted, the style of painting is very fresh and lovely.
Ji Siwei saw Baietan Island at a glance, and went to look for the Tianwan Square mentioned just now.
Tianwan Square is not a tourist area, but its supernatural stories are "famous far and wide", and they are also marked separately.
Looking at the two locations together, Ji Siwei found that although they were far apart, they were on the same mountain range.And behind Baietan Island is Zhenjiang.
Ye Xiao asked with great interest: "Look at the shape of Baietan Island, what does it look like?"
Ji Siwei took a closer look: "It looks like a fan."
Ye Xiao was amused by him: "What fan shape, we are not in math class, can you look at it with an artistic eye."
Ji Siwei: "Don't be secretive, just tell me."
Ye Xiao wanted to tease him again, but seeing his "thirsty for knowledge" eyes, he said directly: "Don't you think it looks like a tail? Tianwan Plaza and Shazhou Park belong to the same dragon vein, a The first and the last are the most vicious places."
Looking at the map again, what Ji Siwei saw was really different.On the central axis of Yangcheng, there is like a giant dragon crawling with teeth and claws. The dragon's tail hangs down into the Zhenjiang River, setting off waves in circles.
Although this tail is somewhat abstract.
Ji Siwei folded the map again: "The head of the dragon has a suppressive feng shui array, but doesn't the tail of the dragon not?"
"Yes, but it's been a long time ago, and it has become loose recently." Ye Xiao answered quite simply this time: "This is a problem left over from history, and we have to check it out in the old calendar. During the Xianfeng period, Baietan Island became a concession. Later, some land was filled in to make it look like this. I heard from my uncle that the whole island was under construction at that time, demolishing old houses and erecting high-rise buildings... This demolition also demolished the ancient temple, and it was in its original position. A church was built on it. Of the eight dragon-pecker cones that were originally nailed into the ground, there are only six left, and they have been repaired by a few bigwigs in the industry, and they barely survive until now."
Ji Siwei nodded: "So why is this island called Youhun Park?"
"The feng shui formation is not stable, and it is easy to breed evil things. In addition, nine out of ten buildings there are listed on the protection list. The empty house that no one lives in is inviting spirits. The lonely ghosts nearby want to make their homes there. When the car got on the expressway, Ye Xiao paused for a moment, and then continued: "In the daytime, living people go to travel, and at night, wandering spirits go for a walk, so the industry calls it Wandering Soul Park."
Ji Siwei recalled the memories of Shazhou Park. At that time, he couldn't see the other side of the world. Thinking about it now, maybe when they wore little yellow hats and followed the teacher's buttocks to watch the buildings, there might be several pairs of eyes watching the buildings in the room. them.
The memory suddenly changed, Ji Siwei stopped in time.
"After talking for so long, what is our mission this time, to clean up the wandering souls on the island?"
Ji Siwei knew that it was impossible to repair the feng shui array, and Ye Xiao also said that such a thing needs to be done by industry leaders.
"We are not afraid of lonely souls and wild ghosts getting together. They used to live there and have a blind date. As long as they don't harm others, we won't interfere too much." Ye Xiao had a headache when he said it: "A few days ago, White Goose Lake A fire broke out on the island, and it took more than [-] fire trucks to put out the fire. This fire destroyed two buildings, but no one was injured. Doesn’t sound serious, does it?”
Ji Siwei: "Indeed."
It is of course a pity to destroy two historic buildings, but it is a blessing in misfortune that no one was injured or injured.
But Ye Xiao's expression was not relaxed: "After the fire, the nearby Feng Shui master went to check, and the dragon pecking cone under the building was gone."
Hearing this, Ji Siwei sat up straight, staring at Ye Xiao's side face: "That is to say, now there are only five dragon pecking cones left in the ground of Baietan Island."
"That's right, this is the crux of the problem. Someone stole or destroyed the Dragon Pecking Cone by means of a fire, and his purpose is probably to demolish the feng shui bureau of Baietan Island." Ye Xiao met Ji Siwei's eyes, and soon returned Move away and look forward: "The dragon pecking cone is the same as your soul-gathering bell. It is a fetish. If a living person takes away the three souls and three souls, ordinary ghosts will be wiped out as soon as they touch it. Those who dare to do something to it are definitely not ordinary people. generation."
Ji Siwei: "You mean, the other five faculties are also in danger?"
"And it's at stake." Ye Xiao frowned: "As I said before, we are not afraid of lonely souls and wild ghosts gathering together. What we are most afraid of is the organization of lonely souls and wild ghosts. This incident is so thorough, it may be a team crime, let it go. , When this organization grows stronger, it will inevitably lead to catastrophe. We are not going to find out who is behind the scenes right away, but to investigate."
In this way, the nature of the matter is different.
Ji Siwei had seen the chaos in Tianwan Square, and knew what problems Baietan Island would face after the Feng Shui Bureau was broken.
He has fought against the seminar, and he also knows what kind of bloody storm a powerful ghost organization will set off.
The eight-tailed cat lay on Ji Siwei's lap and listened to their conversation, eyes half-closed, about to fall asleep.
Ji Siwei stroked its back repeatedly, and thought for a moment: "Our office still handles such a large order?"
In my impression, the orders that Ye Xiao usually takes are to help people exorcise evil spirits and eliminate bad luck, do fortune-telling and look at Feng Shui, and burn papers for people's graves during festivals...
Except for the order from Tianwan Plaza, I have never seen him take such a dangerous order.This level of "list" is closely related to Yangcheng's luck.
Ye Xiao slapped his head, and finally remembered something important: "Uncle Master asked me to introduce the firm to you, I almost forgot."
Ji Siwei: "..." You have forgotten, right?
"Let Pindao think about how to tell you..." Ye Xiao pursed his thin lips and tried to speak: "There is no rule, there must be someone in charge, or the strong will exploit the weak, and the world will be in chaos .”
Ji Siwei nodded: "That's true."
"The organization in charge of the underground is called Nether, and the biggest leader is Hades." When the car got off the highway, Ye Xiao turned his face to look at Ji Siwei: "You and Nether have crossed paths, right? You once summoned Heiwuchang in front of me , I was very impressed with it.”
Ji Siwei: "That time was an accident, and Hei Wuchang and I had no contact after that."
To be precise, he was used by Nether at that time.
"Let's put this question aside for now, let's talk about the things on the ground." Ye Xiao slowed down the car, turned a corner, and drove into a tree-lined road: "Once upon a time there was a man with eyes and hands... Maybe he was a god. He founded the sky. Shi Yamen is responsible for maintaining the order of the three realms of humans, ghosts and demons in the human world, and its power and responsibility are even greater than that of the Hades. Uncle Shi said that they privately call the founder the "Living Hades."
The little puppet suddenly fell behind the windshield, and when his arm touched the car perfume, there was a "clang".
Ji Siwei's heart beat randomly, as if something had sprouted from the bottom of his heart.
"Later, in a crisis of annihilation, the living King of Hades sacrificed himself to save the common people, and his soul was scattered. Since then, there has been no second person who has the ability to supervise the three worlds at the same time. The people under him have worked together to transform the Tianshi Yamen into a special place. Case Management Bureau..." Ye Xiao revealed a little admiration in his words: "You can understand it as the relevant department that manages the ghosts lingering in the world and the demons entering the world."
The little puppet threw itself into Ji Siwei's arms and grabbed his clothes buttons.
The eight-tailed cat was startled by this, and slowly woke up, rubbed its head against Ji Siwei's stomach, and tried to get in, but Ji Siwei quickly pinned the back of the neck, and then died down.
The ghost boy and You Tingting in the back seat were fascinated by what they heard. They have been ghosts for many years, but they only have a half-knowledge about these things.
Ji Siwei comforted the little puppet, and came back to his senses: "This special case bureau has power all over the country?"
"It can be said that." Ye Xiao smiled slyly: "How about you guess, who is the person in charge of supervising the order of Yin and Yang in Yangcheng?"
"If you ask that, it must be someone you and I know." A cloud of red mist appeared in Ji Siwei's eyes: "Could it be uncle?"
"It's boring to guess right." Ye Xiao complained, but the corners of his lips were raised: "Uncle Shi didn't want to take over at first, so he only agreed to take over for three years, but the people above had deep routines, three years and three years, three years Years and three years... I don't know how many years now. He always complains that there are too many affairs, no freedom, and can't travel around the world, and he wants to give up his burden every day."
Ji Siwei has been curious about Uncle Leaflet's identity for a long time. He thought he was a high-spirited man who lived in the city, but he didn't expect him to be very deep in the world.
Looking at such an unreliable person, his work is so serious.
No taboo office seems to be small in scale. Before he joined, there were only two official employees, Uncle Flyer and Ye Xiao.Who would have thought that this small office was responsible for supervising the Yin and Yang circles in Yangcheng?
No wonder the members of the seminar were scared when they heard the name of the firm.No wonder Uncle Leaflet has the confidence to help him keep the soul-gathering bell and the wishful pen.
The water in Yangcheng is deep, and he once again had this feeling.
Ji Siwei rolled up his sleeves and took a deep breath: "You said there are many things to do, what kind of things do you have?"
Ye Xiao smiled: "Collect rent."
Ji Siwei was puzzled: "Huh?"
Ye Xiao's smile deepened: "In Yangcheng, we have to take care of matters related to ghosts, ranging from adjusting Yangcheng's feng shui luck, down to handling cases such as fighting, seeking revenge and making trouble. We call this rent collection."
Ji Siwei: "The big bunch of keys on the uncle's waist are..."
"Those are keys to haunted houses. Housing prices have risen sharply in recent years, and my uncle can be considered a rich man." Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows: "By the way, aren't there many locked rooms in the office? All the most vicious prisoners are locked up, you have come in and out more recently, so be careful."
Ji Siwei was stunned: "...OK."
How many things did he not know?
"Let Pindao think about what else needs to be explained." Ye Xiao tapped the steering wheel lightly: "In addition to the uncle, there is also a person in charge of the order of the human and monster worlds, called Yinhun, but we rarely deal with each other, you Don't worry too much about it."
Ji Siwei remembered this name, there are two soul-gathering bells in the world, and the other one is in Yinhun's hand.
Ji Siwei asked: "Is Yinhun a human or a demon?"
"It's a person." Ye Xiao said, "Do you have anything else to ask?"
"Yes." Ji Siwei approached him with clear eyes: "How old is uncle this year, won't he grow old?"
Ye Xiao found a parking space and stopped the car: "Pindao is also very curious about this question, but I don't know the truth. My uncle was like this when Pindao was young. After so many years, a wrinkle hasn't grown."
"We're here." Ye Xiao thought for a while, and added: "The [-]th district of Yangcheng, each district has a district head, who is the subordinate of the uncle, and this place belongs to Tianwan District. Too proficient, so this job falls to you and me."
When Ji Siwei heard this, he remembered that the time he was trapped by You Ming was related to the person in charge of Tianwan District.
If he guessed correctly, the newly appointed district chief should be the twelve sages who he gathered the souls of himself.
Ji Siwei looked up: "Who is the head of Tianwan District?"
Ye Xiao really replied: "Twelve sages."
The two looked at each other, each with hidden troubles in their eyes.
Ye Xiao came to pick him up in time that night, probably not as simple as booking him a seat.
It's hard to say how much Ye Xiao knew about that matter.
The car was parked under a big tree, most of the street lights were swallowed up by the luxuriant leaves, it was very dark in the car, but the eyes of the two were very bright.
In the end, Ji Siwei didn't say anything, and took the lead to look away, and took off his seat belt: "Now that we're here, let's get out of the car."
As a friend, Ji Siwei knew what to ask and what not to ask.
It was cold at night, Ji Siwei put down his sleeves and let the eight-tailed cat go by itself.
If it doesn't exercise, it will be overweight.
The eight-tailed cat gave a lazy "meow" and walked slowly beside him.
The puppet was so clingy today for some reason that it refused to be placed on the shoulder, insisting on holding it against Ji Siwei.
Outside the island was full of people, and the lights were feasting, but the lights on Baietan Island were dim, several street lights were extinguished, and there were no pedestrians on the road. They walked along the riverside, and the river wind blew, and it was cold.
Most of the shops are closed, only one 24-hour convenience store is still open, and the signboard lights are brighter than street lights.
The amount of information that Ye Xiao said tonight is a bit large, and Ji Siwei needs some time to digest it.
The wind blowing for a while is just enough to suppress the messy thoughts.
All the way in silence, Ye Xiao didn't stop until he reached the convenience store, and said: "This store is opened by our people, and the one who found that the dragon pecking cone is missing is the store manager here."
Ji Siwei looked up, only to see the signboard of the store saying: "Yajia Convenience Store."
