MTL - I Became Popular in the Underworld After Live Broadcasting Taoism-Chapter 121
After learning about the general situation in Fengcheng from Zheng Ruyu, Gu Zhisang agreed to join the investigation team and go to Fengcheng to handle related cases.
She had just accepted the task entrustment in the applet, and soon some team members who were concerned about the case discovered the change in the investigation team list.
Within half an hour, the news of 'Gu Zhisang joining the Fengcheng investigation team' spread throughout the Ling team.
In the early morning of the next day, under the arrangement of the Lingzu headquarters, Gu Zhisang directly flew to Fengcheng by plane.
After getting off the plane, the members of the spirit group stationed in Fengcheng came to meet her and took her to the temporary residence.
"Director Gu, you will be able to hope that you will come here!"
Although she had never met the mysterious master who was in charge of taking care of Gu Zhisang, he seemed to know her very well and had extraordinary trust in her.
What she didn't know was that because she had cracked difficult and major cases several times, and she had severely disgraced the Taoist sect, many young mystic masters in the spiritual group now regard her as an idol. It is not expected to catch up with the update.
Gu Zhisang coughed lightly and said, "Let's talk about the current situation first."
"Okay." The responding team member nodded.
He knew that the first priority of Gu Zhisang's trip to Fengcheng was to go to Tianyun Village to find the missing members of the team, as well as the abducted Yan family Yan Cheng, so he introduced the case of Tianyun Village first.
The team member said: "When we first arrived in Windy City and launched an investigation, the local people in Windy City were discussing many bizarre deaths—that is, another case that our people are currently investigating.
Wind City's local Internet also reported and discussed this matter, and the attention was extremely high. "
"However, what surprised us was that such a bizarre and huge-scale case did not attract much attention from people outside of Windy City, and there were irrelevant entries on the hot searches."
This unreasonable phenomenon has attracted the attention of the investigation team.
After some investigation, they determined that there were unnatural forces behind the case.
In order to find out the hidden secrets in Fengcheng as soon as possible, and calm the fear of netizens and common people, the investigation team launched an investigation using this case that the whole network has paid attention to.
Unfortunately, they got very little useful information and the case stalled.
At this moment, members of the investigation team who searched for clues on the Internet found a missing person notice in a local forum in Fengcheng.
The person who posted the post claimed to be a domestic worker and had worked as a live-in nanny for a family of three for more than five years. He had a very good relationship with the main family and was usually like a relative.
According to her understanding, the middle-aged couple worked hard in the main urban area of Fengcheng. The elderly in the family were not used to living in urban tube houses, so they went back to their hometown to build a self-built bungalow in the village.
Usually, the older generation and the children only have a phone call every now and then.
The reason why she went to the local forum for help was because two days ago, the middle-aged couple of the host’s family called the elderly at home as usual, and they had agreed before the discussion. Regarding the renovation of the family’s ancestral grave, who would have thought that they had made several phone calls? Failed to get through.
At first, the host and his wife thought that the old man's mobile phone was out of battery, or that the mobile phone was not with him, so they didn't think much about it.
They called their neighbors in the same village and the village chief, but no one answered.
Either the phone was switched off or no one answered.
Early the next morning, the worried couple called again, and the situation was the same as last night.
The two of them couldn't sit still anymore. They took leave early in the afternoon to go back to their hometown to visit their parents, and asked the live-in nanny who had been responsible for taking care of the children, cooking and cleaning the house—that is, the poster to pick up the children and take care of the children. baby.
The live-in nanny took the child who had just entered elementary school home according to the couple's instructions.
Until the evening, the couple didn't come back, and they couldn't get through on the phone.
Until the next day, that is, the evening of the posting day, the husband and wife disappeared completely.
The live-in nanny was also stunned, completely panicked.
She first called the police, explained the situation, and then posted this post on the local forum, asking if there were any netizens who were close to the home of the main couple, or people in the village.
When the members of the investigation team saw it, there were already two or three hundred replies to the post.
Many netizens didn't believe it was true, thinking that the poster was telling a story.
The reason is that the person who posted the post said that the address of her hometown she heard from the main family was called 'Tianyun Village', but most of the local people had never heard of such a village in Fengcheng.
But soon, things turned around.
Some local netizens said that there is indeed such a village in Fengcheng, but it is too remote and a poor local village, tens of kilometers away from the county seat, so not many people know about it.
Netizens did indeed see the label 'Tianyun Village' on the map.
Now the credibility of the story has increased by three points.
At this time, the live-in nanny who posted the post took screenshots of her own alarm records, and photographed children crying in the room looking for their parents... The popularity of this post continued to rise.
Not long after seeing the post, members of the investigation team received calls from the local police station and the Spirit Group branch.
It turned out that after the local police received the alarm, they came to the door to collect evidence. After basically confirming that the identity information of the caller was true, they drove to Tianyun Village.
However, near the landmarks shown on the map, they only saw an empty wasteland and fields on both sides of the road.
There is no village.
There are no houses or people.
The police officers who turned around several times and found no one were dumbfounded, and repeatedly confirmed the correctness of the map and navigation.
In the end, they had to guess that this weird scene belonged to a metaphysics event, and they contacted the people in the spirit group.
It's a pity that when Lingzu received the news, people from the Taoist sect had already taken the lead.
With the news they got from the sect masters, the investigation team of the Schering Group came to the vicinity of the disappeared Tianyun Village and announced that the matter was under their control.
Among the accompanying team was Yan Cheng, who was kidnapped by the deputy head of the Qianqing Sect.
The members of the investigation team had no choice but to send a small team to protect Yan Cheng.
The responding team member continued: "When the people from the Taoist sect practiced near Tianyun Village, they said that this place was a cover-up method shrouded in Yin Qi. They put Yan Cheng, who was carrying the magic weapon jade finger bones, in the eyes of the formation, as if Use the jade finger bones on his body to absorb the surrounding Yin Qi."
"Soon there was a thick fog in that area, which was very strange. The outline of the 'Tianyun Village' and the head of the village were indistinct in the fog, and their group entered the village in the fog. Until now, they still lost contact. get out."
Gu Zhisang frowned when he heard this.
Others don't know, but she knows very well that the severed bone on Yan Cheng's body does have the ability to absorb evil spirits, but it's not as magical as the rumors say.
The evil spirit attracted by putting him in the eyes of the formation is probably less absorbed by the jade finger bone, and more absorbed by his 'bad omen' of Yin-gathering evil physique!
The Yin Qi she had so hard to purify and the stable situation she controlled were completely destroyed by the operation of the Qianqingmen. At the same time, Yan Cheng must also be deeply in the pain of being haunted by Yin Sha.
Gu Zhisang pondered for a moment, then said, "Take me directly to the location of 'Tianyun Village'."
The responding team members didn't expect her to be so active, so they were stunned for a moment and asked:
"Should I go now? Director Gu, do you want to wait for a while, and wait for me to call some team members together?"
Gu Zhisang shook his head and said, "No need, I'll go and have a look first."
"Alright then, I'll take you there now."
The responding team members drove nearly two hours from the place where they stayed before arriving at the location of 'Tianyun Village'.
During this period, Gu Zhisang sat in the co-pilot, looking at the map on the device in his hand, and the more and more desolate pastoral scenery passing by outside the window.
When the car slowed down, she fixedly looked out of the window and narrowed her eyes slightly, with a serious expression on her face.
In her eyes, this area is not as simple as netizens and team members say, it is just an open space.
The sky above the dome is like a gray dome upside down, covering the sky over the entire suburb.
The evil spirit invisible to the naked eye is continuously spreading towards the surrounding area and the urban area of Fengcheng.
This weird scene immediately reminded her of the day when she went to Southern Province to investigate the disappearance of the Zheng family's youngest daughter and was implicated in a major trans-provincial and cross-border trafficking case.
At that time, a cloud of gray air like this was also shrouded in the sky over the border of the Southern Province.
It's not even as large as the sky above the Windy City, and the atmosphere is thick.
It is conceivable that under such a dome shrouded in darkness, there must be more painful and strange secrets hidden.
Gu Zhisang got out of the car and took out a golden and copper-colored, palm-sized compass from nowhere. He found a relatively high point and began to observe the qi and listen to the wind, deducing the pros and cons of feng shui here.
After a long while, she slowly lowered her elbow, and the team members who had been holding their breath and not daring to disturb asked cautiously when they saw this:
"Director Gu, how are you doing?"
Gu Zhisang said in a cold voice: "Tianyun Village is right here, in front of us, but we can't see it now, the world of yin and yang here is reversed."
The team members looked confused, "What do you mean?"
Gu Zhisang explained: "Do you still remember what Fengcheng is also called? Ghost city."
Thousands of years ago, Fengcheng was called Bazibiedu, also known as Fengdu.
And Fengdu is located in Yincao Difu, also known as Fengdu Luoshan, which is the **** that was passed on orally in the past.
As the saying goes: "There is Luofeng Mountain, which is located in Guidi in the north, with a circumference of 30,000 miles and a height of 2,600 miles. There are six palaces in the cave, with a week of 10,000 miles and a height of 2,600 miles. ①"
The reason why Fengcheng is called a "ghost city" is because the legendary Fengduluo Mountain and the eighteen levels of **** are at the foot of Fengcheng.
In the same location, there are pedestrians and skyscrapers coming and going in Yangjian, while under the underworld is a purgatory where thousands of ghosts howl and are tortured and punished.
In fact, this statement is not accurate.
The underworld is extremely vast, and hells and hells are even more boundless. How could billions of ghosts and evil spirits who did evil in life and after death be detained under a small city.
But the geographic hole in the same location in Fengcheng is indeed the entrance to one of the purgatory in the underworld.
The number of mysterious masters guarding this city is far higher than that of other places, and there are many folk customs. You can often see some yellowed talismans in the streets and alleys, and the little door gods placed...
They are all to suppress the yin qi overflowing from the entrance of the underworld, and at the same time to suppress and capture the evil spirits who are trying to flood into the underworld and harm the world.
To a certain extent, Fengcheng can also be regarded as a connecting point between the Yin and Yang worlds, and accidents are easy to happen if you are not careful.
The location where Tianyun Village is located is even more shrouded by an unknown evil spirit, which almost floods the area.
The overly strong yin and evil qi entrenched, changed the flow and direction of Fengshui here, and made the 'qi' that was originally going forward began to go retrograde;
In addition, this place is above the underworld, and it is a hole in the Yin and Yang worlds.
The retrograde movement of 'qi' will naturally reverse yin and yang and cause feng shui confusion.
Yangjian is like the underworld, and the underworld is like the human world.
This is also an extremely rare and difficult to form Yin-Yang formation in Feng Shui:
' Hanging upside down. '
Tianyun Village is still in its original location, but the ground is extremely cloudy, surrounded by dense yin evil spirits, and the living people in the yang world cannot see it with naked eyes.
At this time, it is necessary to avoid it, because the formation of the "inverted underworld" will make the ghosts entrenched under the hole and near the entrance of the underworld appear in the village for a short time. In the seemingly endless wasteland, the enchantment The other end of the spectrum is likely to be Ghost Day!
The vice-head of the Qianqing Sect, who is conceited and arrogant and thinks that he can act recklessly with some ghost-hunting ability, is probably not proficient in Fengshui, and he didn't realize that Tianyun Village is a "Dangling Underworld" at all.
He led the formation directly, letting Yan Cheng in the formation absorb the Yin energy around him.
As the yin energy surrounding the 'Underworld' was reduced, Tianyun Village, which was originally invisible to the naked eye, indeed appeared indistinctly before everyone's eyes, allowing them to successfully enter the village.
But the deputy leader didn't know at all that the place Yan Cheng walked into was actually a human 'underworld' where yin and yang were reversed!
When he absorbs Yin Qi, he will naturally attract the attention of the ghosts and ghosts that are rampant in the village.
I'm afraid this group of people will be discovered by thousands of ghosts before they set foot in the village, and they will stare at them!
In this case, not to mention losing contact, it is very normal that the group of people has already died in it.
This stupid and bad deputy head of Qianqingmen is afraid that he will bring disaster to the people who enter the village!
Gu Zhisang, who saw the situation of the village clearly, couldn't restrain the speechlessness and anger in his heart.
And the team members who were stunned were speechless for a while, turned their heads and looked at the surrounding wasteland repeatedly, inexplicably feeling a chill in the back, as if there were countless pairs of gloomy eyes staring at themselves.
"Gu, Director Gu, now we...?"
Gu Zhisang knew what the other party was afraid of, and said:
"You don't have to be afraid, the 'Dangling Hell' naturally has a barrier, it is a ghost that exists in the human world, we can't see those ghosts that have been reversed in the village, they can't see us, and they can't get out of the barrier. Come out, otherwise the world will be completely messed up."
After all, there is yin energy inside the barrier, but there is sunshine and yang energy in the world outside the barrier, and ghosts cannot step out.
The situation encountered by the Qianqingmen and the Lingzu team was different.
They took the initiative to absorb the Yin Sha, and let the ghosts in the "Dangling Hell" discover their existence, and stepped into the barrier by themselves in a daze, almost to deliver food.
How could such actions not make Gu Zhisang feel speechless?
After understanding Gu Zhisang's explanation, knowing that the ghosts in the 'Dangling Hell' could not break through the barrier and cause harm to the world, the accompanying team members were slightly relieved.
But then he realized something, and asked:
"Director Gu, our people have been in for almost three days, and the original villagers of Tianyun Village..."
Gu Zhisang pursed his lips and said: "Now I don't know what's going on in the village, it's just that the conditions for the formation of the 'Dangling Hell' are very harsh, and there must be something terrible born in the village. You can only find out if you go in. after all"
"But didn't you say that rushing into it will attract ghosts?"
Gu Zhisang: "That's right, so you have to wait until the yin and yang are upside down before you can enter it. That's when the yin qi is the weakest and the ghosts are the rarest in the 'Dangling Hell'."
"Quickly explain the situation here to other people, and let them set up a protective formation around the village in advance.
Although the enchantment exists, this place is the intersection point of the Yin and Yang realms. In case something happens in the village, the leaked ghosts cannot be allowed to get out of control. "
Listening to Gu Zhisang's explanation, the casual team members had a faint guess, and as expected, she continued:
"Today the yin and yang are reversed, and when the yin energy in the 'Dangling Hell' is at its thinnest, I will enter it to look for the missing person."
The team members said anxiously: "Director Gu, how can I let you go in alone? It's too dangerous!"
Gu Zhisang: "Every time a living person falls into the underworld, the yang energy in the body will be lost, and there is no delay."
Naturally, she was not in the mood to care about the life and death of the old guy who had cleared the door.
The other members of the Keling Group, especially Yan Cheng who suffered an unreasonable disaster, may find it difficult to survive for long in the cloudy Tianyun Village.
Seeing that the accompanying team members still looked worried, Gu Zhisang said bluntly:
"It's faster for me to go in alone, and letting other people follow me will only hold me back. At that time, I will not only bring out the people who are trapped in it, but also distract you from protecting you."
"Besides, if I can't solve the barrier formed here and the monsters in the village, then you can't."
Although these words are really arrogant, they are all facts.
That night, the members of the investigation team, who also knew for the first time that there were ghosts in Tianyun Village, were also frightened into a cold sweat and extremely nervous.
Under Gu Zhisang's arrangement and layout, layers of protective formations and a large ghost-killing formation were quickly set up around.
As for Gu Zhisang himself, he has been preparing to enter Tianyun Village to find the missing team members.
Late at night, the suburbs of the Windy City were silent and dark.
Gu Zhisang asked everyone to retreat a thousand meters away, and she stood alone in the wasteland, with her hands bound together in Dao seals.
As the words and phrases of the spell were read out clearly, she made a sword with one hand and held a 'Thunder Talisman' between her fingertips.
With a flick of the sword finger, the yellow talisman was like a card blown by no wind, from bottom to top, a thunderbolt that expelled evil spirits and purified evil spirits suddenly exploded in midair.
The thunder light illuminated a piece of ground in front of Gu Zhisang, and she obviously felt that the yin energy around her had dissipated a lot, but at the same time, a series of dark eyes that seemed to have a real substance suddenly fell on her.
She looked as usual, quietly looking at the village that was gradually visible in the night fog.
A plaque of the village is hung on an arched door, and the inscription "Tianyun Village" is written on it.
The road leading to the door was pitch black, but Gu Zhisang clearly saw a white shadow drifting by not far away.
She lifted her foot and stepped into the archway.
As the saying goes, "At midnight, a hundred ghosts travel at night".
It's just after twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, which is the beginning of a new day, and it's also the time when the cloudiness is the heaviest.
Under normal circumstances, this time point is when the ghost door opens and it is most likely to bump into dirty things.
For people with weak horoscopes and insufficient yang energy, mystic masters will advise them to go out less at this time.
Today, where Tianyun Village is located, yin and yang are reversed, forming an 'upside-down hell';
Originally, Zishi, when the yin energy was the heaviest, turned out to be the safest hour when the yin energy in the village was the lightest, with the fewest ghosts.
With the right timing, Gu Zhisang directly broke through the evil spirits around him, allowing Tianyun Village, which was enveloped by the evil energy, to appear for a short time and enter it smoothly.
Walking along the gloomy village road, this reviewer found that there were small buildings standing on the ground of the vast open space.
The village has not disappeared, it is indeed here, and the villagers' self-built houses are everywhere.
The convenience store near the village road is open and incandescent, but there is no one in the store.
The whole village was eerily quiet, even the sound of breathing could be clearly heard.
This is an empty village.
Not a single person!
Gu Zhisang looked around and found that every door was pasted with red wedding papers, red blankets were spread in front of the doors, and red lanterns were hung...
The whole Tianyun Village exudes a strange joy.
As the red paper spread all over the floor, Gu Zhisang gradually went deeper, and finally stopped in front of a small building.
The walls of this private house and the gate of the courtyard are all plastered with the word "囍" in red, and when the wind blows, the lanterns hanging in front of the gate flutter crookedly.
Gu Zhisang stretched out his hand and pushed open the courtyard door, only to hear a 'squeak', and the door slowly revealed the scene in the courtyard.
As the courtyard door was pushed open, a gust of cool night wind rushed towards his face, carrying a fierce air.
Gu Zhisang, who had been prepared for a long time, took off the mahogany sword that was carried on his back at some point, and only turned his backhand, and the seemingly blunt wooden sword without a sharp edge cut across his body, causing a burst of wind.
A shrill scream sounded against the peach wood sword. The ghost hiding in the courtyard and preparing to attack her was directly beheaded by the wooden sword, and the last bit of chilly soul energy scattered in the air.
This scene directly suppressed the rest of the ghosts lurking in the courtyard.
They looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't expect this newcomer to enter the enchantment to be so resolute and powerful!
Before the ghosts could decide whether to continue to charge up, Gu Zhisang raised the mahogany sword and took the initiative to cover the evil spirits with the power of Taoism. Before the ghosts could react, they directly chopped the ghosts to death.
Seeing this, some ghosts who were temporarily arrested as 'strong men', or bullied and feared hard, scattered and fled in the dark.
After the many ghosts gathered in the courtyard dispersed, the yin energy here also weakened a lot.
The blindfold that existed since entering Tianyun Village disappeared.
Gu Zhisang looked around, and found that the courtyard in the underworld and the scene in the village were even more strange.
The wedding blanket laid out in front of the courtyard to welcome the guests is solidified and smelly plasma.
In front of the courtyard gate and on the walls, the red '囍' characters were all hung upside down, none of them were pasted upright.
There was a thick smell of blood in the air.
There was still no one in the village, and it was silent, but what the naked eye could see was blood-stained and trampled paper money.
Seeing this scene, Gu Zhisang narrowed his eyes slightly, and knew in his heart that many people in this village were probably in danger.
At this moment, her ears moved slightly, and she suddenly looked up at the main house in the yard.
After a long while, she walked over with her sword in hand, and kicked open the closed door with her foot.
The living room was dark and gloomy, only the bedroom further inward was lit with a faint yellow light, overflowing from the crack in the door.
Gu Zhisang continued to walk in, feeling more and more Yin Qi, and clenched the mahogany sword in his hand.
Kicking open the door of the bedroom, she paused slightly after seeing the scene inside.
On the innermost bed, there was a figure in a wedding dress and a red hijab...
