Zhang Wenfeng noticed that the yin energy in this place was too strong, so he didn't say anything and followed Wu Youde up Xihe Mountain and around to the southeast slope.
What comes into view is the hillside full of gray and white rocks, shrubs and trees, with a few incomplete stone monuments and graves hidden here and there.
Various faded and broken hanging paper strings are still floating on the branches of the shrubs.
The wind tore the paper and made a rattling sound.
Under the bright sun, ordinary people will definitely feel anxious.
Wu Youde pointed to the gray stone with a few pools of dried blood in front of him and said, "The two foreign men died here. The nearby rocks and trees have traces of slashing and stabbing with swords. They were trapped before.
There are so many people on this rocky slope in the middle of the mountain. They kept walking all night, but they couldn't get out no matter how hard they walked."
Zhang Wenfeng scanned carefully.
Under the piles of rocks, weeds, and shrubs, there are many plants with dark green leaves and dark green stems that are more than a foot tall.
A solitary black-red flower bud as big as an egg hangs half way from the branch, which is very eye-catching.
The surveyor looked at the crime scene, settled along the gap on the hillside, continued walking up, and asked: "Old Wu, you have been to Xihe Mountain several times, haven't you found anything wrong here?"
Wu Youde looked around, suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "Sir, do you mean that there is too much yin energy here?"
As a scattered Taoist priest, he could naturally see such obvious things. When Master Zhang nodded slightly, he explained:
"This hilltop is close to the town and is a gravel hill, making it inconvenient to cultivate. I don't know since what age, this place has been used as a mass grave. The floating corpses that were drowned in the river were dragged here and buried directly. They have been buried for many years.
This is what happened here.
There are very few people who usually go up the mountain. Only at the end of autumn and when winter is about to begin, do nearby villagers come to collect medicine. It is said that this place produces grassroots, and several herbs are of good quality and can be sold at a good price. The villagers are all
We should go together in groups of three or two, and we should not dare to go up the mountain alone."
Zhang Wenfeng pointed to a drunken flower and asked, "Is anyone picking this?"
Wu Youde had a look of discomfort on his face and said: "When I came here the day before yesterday, I saw a lot of these things. I asked the local tour guide who led the way. They said this is called 'Ghost Eye Flower', which is a dead man's flower and is poisonous."
, unlucky, no one picked it.”
He also saw Master Zhang finding a ghost-eyed flower from the captured thief, and asked in a low voice: "Sir, is there something wrong with this flower?"
Zhang Wenfeng knew that the ghost-eyed flower was somewhat similar to the intoxicating flower with its petals closed, but the shape of the petals, the core in the center, the number of petals, etc. were very different, and the smell was also different. The ghost-eyed flower gave off a faint rancid smell.
He did not answer Lao Wu's question and asked: "Was there anything weird here before? Like it was haunted or something."
"Yes, every two or three years, there will always be one or two ghosts, which scare the nearby villagers and dare not go up the mountain to collect medicine."
"Oh, how did you solve it later?"
"Every time there is a haunting, the Taoist priests from Qingshui Temple are invited to come and perform rituals to collect the ghosts. It has always been smooth. But this time, even the Taoist priests from Qingshui Temple were trapped on the mountain for a night. It was impossible to evacuate, so the town asked
Report it to Daolu Branch."
"How far is Qingshui Temple from here? What is its scale?"
Zhang Wenfeng continued to ask questions.
He stopped and saw a grasshopper growing in the grass in front of him. Its stems and leaves had withered.
There is a dark green drooping Buddleia flower growing next to it, which is almost two feet tall. It is nearly half taller than the ordinary Buddleia flower, and its stem is nearly twice as thick as other ones. It looks particularly strong, and its buds are slightly larger than a baby's fist.
He used his spiritual eyes to look at it, and saw that the Intoxicating Heart Flower was emitting a faint black-red light.
This is an intoxicating flower.
The Intoxicating Heart Flower is relatively rare. It grows on sunny slopes with heavy Yin Qi, and it also has requirements for soil quality. But once it mutates into a spiritual plant, the mature Infatuated Heart Flower can produce Infatuated Heart Flower. The fruit can be used as medicine to refine elixirs, which is very valuable.
It's quite expensive.
He had some doubts that such a large area of Intoxication Flower was not an accidental wild thing?
The maturity period of the Intoxicating Flower Lingzhi is exactly three years.
And this place is haunted every two or three years, which is really a coincidence.
Wu Youde looked at Mr. Zhang who stretched out his hand to pinch the withered stems and leaves, and said: "Qingshui Temple is in Xihezhou Town to the northwest. It is about ten miles away from here. It is of average size. There seem to be five Taoist priests."
"Oh. How many days has it been since there was a ghost beating the wall here?"
"It seems like six or seven days..."
Before they finished speaking, the two of them looked at the road turning down the mountain at the same time, and saw a man dressed as a traveler running towards them.
"Sir, it's not good, the thief was snatched away, and Mr. Che was also injured."
Hearing You Xi's call, Zhang Wenfeng shouted: "Let's go! Go back to town!"
That man had a drunken heart, and his companions were so bold that they broke into the office in broad daylight, injured Che Sheng, and robbed the thief. This was a self-inflicted crime, and I am afraid those people were inseparable from the case.
The donkey was walking around on the Xiangyang hillside. When it heard the visitor's greeting, it spread its hooves and jumped diagonally.
This place made it uncomfortable to stay, the air smelled bad, and it felt even weirder.
After reaching the foot of the mountain, the donkey no longer had the eerie feeling of being spied on by someone in the dark. It was really a weird place.
"What's wrong? Is there a ghost chasing you from behind?"
Zhang Wenfeng saw the donkey turning his head frequently, so he said a joke.
"It seems like there really is a ghost. When I was walking on the hillside, I always felt like something was 'looking' at me. It was so eerie and chilling down my spine, but I couldn't find where the thing was."
The donkey didn't hide his words, he ran very fast on his feet and kept chattering in his mouth.
Zhang Wenfeng paused for a moment and then sent a message: "Take care of things in the town first and come back when you have time. That thing didn't spy on me. It probably wanted to scare you so much that it scared you away from the hillside and let us chase you away...
…That’s right!”
"What's wrong? Master, you're not speaking well now. You always say half-sentences. In the words of an old lame man, it's very uncomfortable to tell you to shit in the middle and then take it back again..."
"It's good not to learn, but to learn some nonsense."
Zhang Wenfeng scolded the donkey and explained via voice transmission: "I noticed the ghost energy. I originally wanted to look around and look for it, but you helped me find it in advance. Let's come back later and think of a way to catch the hiding end."
Get up ghost."
"Okay, okay, if you dare to scare me, I'll put you in a frying pan if you catch it."
"..."
Rushing back to the town, Zhang Wenfeng didn't notice that the idle people in the town were talking about what happened to the town hall. What he heard occasionally was that Xiheshan ghosts were beating the wall. Some guys were so idle that they were betting on how much money they would pay if they dared to go to Xiheshan for one night.
etc.
Walking into the gate of the Red Courtyard, Xiang Qi, Li Zheng, and three other tourists were all there.
After Wu Youde introduced him and greeted him hurriedly, Zhang Wenfeng walked into a house that had a strong smell of medicine. Che Sheng was naked and naked, and his face was very ugly. The wound had been cleaned and the golden sore medicine was applied. There were two
The town doctor was bandaging the wounds on his waist and abdomen.
"Master Zhang, this subordinate has neglected his duty..."
Seeing Zhang Wenfeng and Wu Youde come in, Che Sheng stood up and apologized.
Zhang Wenfeng waved his hand: "Just sit down and heal the wound first. Don't open the wound. Tell me slowly, what's going on?"
"Yes, thank you for your understanding!"
Che Sheng waited for the doctor to go out after wrapping up his injuries and tell him what had happened.
He also didn't expect that someone would dare to go to the office to rob someone in broad daylight. After checking the thief's body, including whether there was poison in his mouth, he restored the thief's mandible. He just asked a few words, but the torture tools were not used.
A masked man climbed over the wall from the back of the yard and broke in through the window.
He only blocked two attacks before being stabbed once and kicked out. He could not get up for a while. Zhong Youxi, who accompanied the interrogation, was punched to the point of death and was unable to resist.
Zhang Wenfeng was silent for a while and asked: "Is the person coming here a monk in the Huaqi Realm?"
"Probably, he is extremely fast... just like when you captured the thief, so fast that your eyes can't keep up."
Che Sheng gave an example. He raised his head and glanced at Mr. Zhang's face, but could not see any change in his expression.
What happened to him was a big or small matter. He hoped that Mr. Zhang could help him say a few words to Dean Wu, but he didn't know how to ask for help.
"Monk!"
Zhang Wenfeng shook his head secretly. There were actually more monks in the county who were not registered and did not want to be subject to jurisdiction than those who were registered. This discovery made him wary.
Most of the monks who are not under the jurisdiction have no reverence or have other motives.
The Intoxication Flower in Xihe Mountain is not an ownerless thing, it involves the monk who suddenly appeared.
Things are becoming more and more complicated and troublesome.
